Letter Froai Wedgefield. WiDGCiuuH February 6* 1894. Our esteemedycsbg friend, Mr. W. T. Ay . cock, left bornea few days ago for Columbia College, New York City, where be enters upon the study of law. Hr. Ayeock graduated at the South Carolina University in 1889, and took the degree of M. A., from Eastman Col? lege, Poughkeepsie, IF. T., ia 1890, since which time be bas lived continuously at home ia ti? office of J: H. Ayeock k Sons. He is an especially talented yoong mas, and bas a bright future. May his whole life be as bright aa yesterday's ann, (the day on which be commenced the study of his well chosen, lpns and highly honored profession.) No yoong man ever stood higher in the com? munity io which be lived. His morals are all that even a mother coule wish. They ladies, married and single, gave him quite a recep? tion at the depot last' Friday afternoon when he left.. A surprise party was given at the residence of Slr. J^Qe Singleton, on last Wednesday, music a?4pincin^ein^|me spacial orders of the evening: Tbe%rmerwas particularly en? joyable, being furnished by different ones on piano-, violin, flute, guitar and, last bat oot least, the month organ. For the first time-that we know of-one of Tillman's spies visited onr quiet, etralghont and law-abiding little town. He showed bis badge inadvertently, and after he did some of oar people let him know they knew who be was. The conductor was asked to take good care of him as the 8.45 p. m. train moved off. He was only in town for a few boars, during which time he pretended to be selling "soap," said to take grease oat of clothes. Did sot see either the spy or bis soap, bat suppose it was mostly soft soap. However, have not heard of a single sale that be effected. Capt. W.^S. Wilson formerly of your city has rented the brick resides ce of Dr. H. J. McLaarin and moved his family here. Quite an acquisition to oar neighborhood. Capt. Wilson is trestle master ou W. C. k A. R. R. Our merchants, all of them, must behold . ing their own mighty well. A grocery drummer said to your correspondent a few days ago that be did not intend to let ns starve if our merchants wonld bny from bim, - for his business here was to sell to all of them. His regular visits are once a mooth, bat often be comes also between times. . j? $ . Onr farmers harajlone an unusually large amount of*;work for tina time of year. A visitor herera 'few day s ago from tbe lower part of the county remarked that the people ap here seemed ready tor plant. Well, we are * not ready Jtofplan? out are preparing oar lauds thoroughly. Oats are looking unusually fine, and a very large crop is expected. Mrs. J. J. Co ayers and little daughter, of your city, spent several days last week with her father, Capt. DuPont. Representative K. I. Manning left last night for the City by the Sea. To-morrow being Ash-Wednesday, divine service will be held at Statesbcrg io the morn? ing and at Wedgefield in the afternoon by the Rev. John Kershaw. Mr. John Troablefield, oldest son of Mr. W B. Tronblefield, was married on last Thurs? day, 1st instant, to Miss Carrie Andrews, of Sumter, Rev. C. C. Brown officiating. Jimmie Richardson, colored, while at work in a lamber yard io Charleston, one day last week, was struck by a piece of falling timber, which injured bim so seriously as to be fol? lowed by death in a few bonrs. His body was brought un on the train last Friday for burial. *' * Mr. W. A. James, jr.-, of Bisbopville, came in on the train this a. m., and was met by Mr. H. R. Thomas. Oar ex-postmaster, -R. H. Richardson, ar? rived from Washington by this morning's train. ? _ _ Pisgah Items. ' PISGAH, S. C., Feb. 3, 1894. Mr. Editor: When our Senators and Repre? sentatives, with the exception of Brawley, were fighting for silver last fall, it was argued by those vrbo read through Mr. Cleveland's spectacles, that as soon as the Sherman law was repealed, the panic would end, cotton would go np, confidence wonld be restored and money would come out into the sun, and be more sociable in visiting aroond. Some of as who live so far from the centers of civi? lization cannot see that these golden promises are fulfilled. On the contrary there seems to be a retrograde movement all along the line ! io finances since gold has got to be tbe j monarch of tbe world. Is not notes, mort- j gages and bills of sale and cotton to meet ; them in the fail, tbe curreocy of the day? It seems so to a countryman's vision, bat then we fire supposed to be ignorant of such things ; bat since we have got up to a gold" standard, cotton baa gone down, money is harder to get, credit is getting info the ditch, our peo? ple are fast drifting apart, and Secretary Car? lisle thinks we can pay a little more interest by packing on us $50,000,000 or so. Tbe writer bas talked with men of all religious faiths and politics, and they cannot see any hope for the future from this burden of 6oau- ! cia! depression. Some of us hope to see the ! Ocala platform carried out so the people can j be relieved of the financial borden, but then ' the Ocalites are not Democrats, aud yet Mr. j Cleveland can keep Gresham in his Cabinet ! and send Wayne McVeah as an ambassador to . Italy, and keep other noted Republicans in his employ and keep his political standing. Whew ! But a truce. | So the Governor of Florida got whipped at i his bluffing, "Ben" ought to have been gover nor over there a while. Grippe is above par here. As yet no deaths. 1 Mr. William Deas, aged 90 years, died last Saturday night from a second stroke of p*r- ? alysia. He was well thought of. Rev. T. W. Scru<rg3, the Pisgah pastor, a fine preacher. We are glad to hear of Rev. B. C. Lampley's return. Farm work is going forward as usual. ; Guano is scarce as yet. So "Guv" has turned over the fence into the Tillman camp. We thought he was half ' over the last time we saw bim. Hurrah ! for Tillmanite "Guv". J. E. D. ? Fulton Letter. FULTON, S. C., Feb 3, '94. Work on the tram road now being built bj Lakens ? Reifsayder from Pinewood in the direction of Panol* is progressing nicely and from what we can ascertain will soon be read j for cue. In connection with his gin and grist mill Mr. C. L. Griffin has pat np a saw mill at Pinewood which will be a great convenience to oar neighborhood. Religions services will beheld at St. Mark's at ll o'clock to-morrow morning by the Rev. Mr. HartzelL The Rev. C. W. Creighton will be called away to Packsville from his regular appoint? ment at St. James to-morrow in behalf of the proposed Methodist Church which is to be built at that place Mr. Theo. Keels, of Sumter, agent for "The Farmer's Mutual Insurance Association, of Clarendon County, paid us a flying visit last week m the interest of his association. Dr. JBO. L. Basterling will lecture at Pine? wood on "Blind Tigers" next Thursday even? ing One of Sumter's merchants created quite a sensation in our little villa one day last week by hauling a large bovine ia a hay .rack on a one-horse wagon with such celerity that tbe animal could scarcely stand upon his feet. At first we did not know wbetber he was a Sheriff er some one making bis escape from a Sheriff. We have tbe cariosity to know if he arrived in Sumter safe or not. S. B. W. G. O. L.

The Artist Sarony Says It Is Perfectly Formed. "How beautiful is the human foot when properly formed-according to God's own plan and not according fo the shoemaker's!" the artist Sarony ex? claimed the other day as he put in a stroke or two about the feet of a maid? en he was drawing in charcoal. "You will remember," he said, "that in all the great GrTeek and Roman sculptures the most shapely feet are those hi which the large toe is represented as being a little apart from the other four. "Daring Sarah Bernhardt's last visit to New York she came to my studio to have some photographs taken of herself successively in three or four costumes of different roles she was then billed to impersonate. Among them was that dejected character of Leah, the for? saken. 1 noticed that she wore the con? ventional stage footgear, in which the big toe is given its own individual glov? ing, so to speak, and the other toes are mittened together. I suggested that she remove the stockings, which, after a French shrug, denoting curiosity and doubt, she did. I never saw in my life, considering Mme. Bernhardt's years, more beautiful and shapely feet than hers. I posed her in such a way as to leave one foot in profile and the other in nearly a full view. Just at that mo? ment a happy thought occurred to me. "Taking from my waistcoat pocket a crisp bank note, I folded it into a wad a third of an inch or more thick and gently pressed it between her right big toe and its immediate neighbor of smaller growth, so as to separate them according to the old established canon to which I have alluded. Mme. Bern? hardt laughed heartily at my profes? sional temerity, but she was given a capital picture all the same."-New York Telegram. Instruction by Illustration. Brevity is credited with being the "soul of wit." Sometimes, however, there comes at the end of a lengthy dis? course a genuine flash of humor which more than compensates for the time pre? viously consumed. The Bev. Dr. Broad? na was giving the junior class at the Baptist Theological seminary their first lecture. The junior class began by showing the white heat earnestness of high resolutions. It wanted to make a good impression en Dr. Broadna, and so it leaned over with drawn brows and drank in every word of the speaker, allaying in some slight degree its con? suming, unquenchable thirst for knowl? edge. But the wind of the junior class did not hold out. The steady, sluggish flow of dry facts about word roots swept away the noble resolve. The junior class began to get neck weary as Dr. Broadus talked of things 3,000 years old. That was a little too remote for the junior class, which was flabby and out of training from a long vacation. The junior class tried to suppress a yawn, fought against it and then yawn? ed under its hand. 1 * Seventhly, ' ? said Dr. Broadus. This seventhly was broken up in sections, and there were so many of them that they consumed almost the entire alpha? bet. "And lastly, ' ' the lecturer said. The junior class could not hide its relief, though it tried hard enough. "And," with the smoothest utterance the speaker concluded, "I expect you are about as tired of me now as your congregations will be of you some day. " --Huntsville Argus. Managing a Railroad. In Schoharie county, N. Y., there is an ll mile piece of railroad owned by several brothers named Vrooman, who meet annually and lease the line to ono of themselves. This year Corn ii us Vrooman has control, and he is show? ing an example of the model railroad man. He not only manages the road, but sells tickets at the station and acts as conductor on the train. The rolling stock consists of ono locomotive and I two combination passenger cars, and j tho employees number an engineer, a j fireman, a baggage master and a train- j man. When track repairs aro needed, 1 a farmhand is hired for a day or two. i -Exchange. A Good Business. Guest (to bell boy)-What is your part of tho business, my boy ?

Brooklyn Policemen See Queer Lights and Look In the Dictionary For a Reason. The police of Prospect park, Brook? lyn, are puzzled and some of them have been scared by mysterious lights that have been flitting about the park walks and drives. The lights are described as two red balls of fire of phosphorescent brilliancy. Each is the size of a man's head, round and with a tail like a comet. Both lights travel together at a distance of five or six feet from the ground, going along side by side. They are never seen apart It is only on dark, drizzly nights, the police say, that the lights are abroad. The lights ?ave been the subject of general discussion among the policemen after the relief hour, and notes have been compared on their appearance. Those who have encountered them in the stillness of the night hours say that the lights do not deviate from a straight line till a certain point is reached, when they shoot over to the big lake and cross it. The lights have been seen to come in at gate 4 on the doney Island road from tte Boulevard and pass along the east drive to the flower garden. From there they have deliberately shot oft to the left, and while keeping a regular distance, from the earth, have flitted over to the lake where they have shot across the water like a flash. Exciting times are recorded by those who have tried to capture the rights. The police compare them to the lan? terns of bicycles or carriages. A few nights ago Policeman McGowan saw them on the drive near Lookout hill. He ran up and made a grab, but the lights eluded his grasp. McGowan was mystified. He consulted Police? man McGuire, On the next post. It was too late, he said, for a bicycle rider to be abroad, and he could hear no rattle of carriage wheels. Policeman Mc? Guire could suggest no explanation. On .another occasion, Policeman En? nis says, eight of his comrades chased them over Lookout hill. Near this point is the Quaker cemetery, with its ancient gravestones green with moss. The red lights entered the graveyard and flitted among the tombstones, while Policemen Stillwell, Boyle, Ennis, Brown, McGuire, Peffer and others made desperate efforts to catch them. When all hands reported at the Man? sion House the men excitedly compared notes and agreed that they could not understand it. Sergeant Foster said that several po? licemen had been badly frightened. He sa.\d the origin of the lights had never been satisfactorily explained. "We were all interested to know something about them," he went on, "and we consulted a dictionary. The information there is that the words 'Ignis fatuus' explain the origin of the lights. I remember," concluded the sergeant, "reading of a man who got so near to the light that he could al? most set fire to a piece of paper. " Here is the definition that Sergeant Foster referred to : "A phosphorescent light that ap? pears in the night over marshy ground, supposed to be occasioned by the de? composition of animal or vegetable sub? stances or by noninflammable gas ; pop? ularly called also Will-with-the-wisp and Jack-with-a-lantern. " Historic Houses. Now that ' ' The Terrace' ' in Kensing? ton is down or doomed, it seems every house in it once sheltered a celebrity. And yet scarcely any one knew any? thing about it. It is always the way with historic houses. The "link with the past" paragraph is the first intima? tion that the past was memorable. When the interest is with us, we don't know it. The Society of Arts has indeed singled out and decorated certain houses-Walpole's in Arlington street, Dryden's in Gerrard street, Mrs. Sid? dons' at the top of Bakers street, Louis Napoleon's in King street, Thackeray's in Palace Green, but we want many more to be ascertained and notified. The house where Thackeray wrote "Vanity Fair" is said still to stand in Young street. One of Dickens' last residences is opposite the Marble arch ; the house where Goldsmith lived and died is in Brick court, Temple ; Charles Wesley's house and William Blake's house can yet be identified. While we have these we don't value them; we don't care to identify them. But when the navvy comes with his basket and his pickaxe, the "link with the past" paragraph goes its round. In other capitals the great man's memory runs no risk. In Rome there is a marble plaque on the house Sir Walter Scott occupied, in Genoa on O'Connell's hotel, in Florence on Mrs. Browning's casa, in Frankfort on Mo? zart's lodgings in the Zeil. And yet these are the several recognitions of a ! foreign interest. We cannot even ap- I preciate our own. The truth is, this duty should devolve on a responsible and continuing body, the board of works or the county council, and not be left to the voluntary effort of a private association like the Society of Arts. Westminster Gazette. i School of Naval Architecture. We have received from the Massachu- j setts Institute of Technology an an nouncement of the establishment at the ! institute of a course of instruction in ? naval architecture. It is a four years' | course; it aims to provide a thorough training in the theory and methods of ; designing and building ships, and its : graduates receive the degree of bache? lor of science. It is an optional branch of the mechanical engineering course. There aro to be lectures twice a week during the third and fourth years, and students aro required to make tho cal? culations and draw the constructions . described in tho lectures.-Engineering Record. A Misquotation. Ono of the English papers is much distressed at the constant misquoting of Carlyle's famous definition of genius. He did not say iu his history of "Fred- ? erick tho Great" anything so simple as "genius, which means infinite capacity for taking pains." That was too ordi- 1 nary for the Chelsea sage. What he i did say was "genius, which means transcendent capacity of taking trouble, first of all." That is more like Mm. The sentence is so often quoted it may as well be quoted straight.-Boston Journal. Big; British Steam Facht?. Yachts of enormous size and of th J most luxurious fittings have in recent years become the order of the day, and Mr. Cecil Leigh's White Heather, Mr. Wythe's St. George and Lord Ashbur ton's magnificent craft Venetia are not? able examples of the floating palaces of the period ; but it has been left to Mr. Laycock to eclipse them all with his Valhalla, the largest English yacht afloat. True, the American owners vie with us in the size of their vessels and the perfection of their arrangements and Mr. Astor's new boat, the Valliant (sic), fa even larger than the Valhalla, but no yacht that flies the English flag can approach the splendid steam craft now fitting out at Southampton for a length? ened cruise. In the early part of this year she proved herself on her first voy? age to be an admirable sea boat and very fast under sail, and there is every prospect that the large party soon to leave England with Mr. Laycock on an even longer voyage than that of last spring will find that the splendid vessel deserves the reputation she has already earned.-London Telegraph. living For Show. We fix up our homes altogether too much with the idea of either what the outside world will say of them or to outdo our neighbors. When we reach that point where we shall dismiss a little of that ostentation that is now so prevalent in many of our homes, we shall not only reach a happier state for ourselves, but we will remove one-half of the nervous ailments from which our women are now suffering. It is all well enough to have a pretty home, with rooms filled with dainty bric-a-brac, mirrors, cushions and ornaments of every sort, but some one must take care of the things, and gener? ally it is not the help we may employ. So far as the ornamentation of our houses is concerned, we are overdoing it in the majority of cases anyway. A room tasteful in its rich simplicity is the ex? ception rather than the rule. The greater part of our drawing rooms resemble mu? seums more than anything else, and a man is never so comfortable as when he is out of them. Between kicking some ting over or knocking something off, the average man's mind is anything but a tranquil one in the typical modern draw? ing room.-New York Mail and Express, A Gas Engine Dynamo. A gas engine for dynamo service has been in operation at the station of the Waukesha (Wis. ) Electric Light company for over a year. It is a 100 horsepower, two cylinder Otto engine, with an elec? tric igniter and an unusually heavy fly? wheel and pulley, the regularity of mo? tions being increased by the use of a heavy balance wheel carried on a jack shaft. Measurements of the consump? tion of gas have been made several times by the manager, George A. Farwell, who reports that in a 10 hour run driving 53 arc lights of 2,000 candle power, on a 9* mile circuit, 10,920 feet were burned, equal to 20.6 cubic feet of gas per lamp per hour. In another test 36 arc lights and 300 incandescent lamps were run on 1,400 feet an hour, and in still another test 36 arc lights and 425 incandescent lamps were run on 1,600 feet an hour.
