Punished for his Brother's Crime. Columbia, Maren 23 ?Governor McSweeney today pardoned Charles Mills, colored, who was convicted in Spartenburg County on the oharge of stealing a watch Judge Buchanan and Solicitor Sease urge tbe granting of lbs pardon. It appears that Charles Mills was confused with Eugene Mills and that the wrong man was gotten into the meshes of the law for the watch stealing and that it was a case of mistaken identity, the two brothers looking so much alike that people could not generally tell tbe difference betweon them.

John Jaoob Aetor is now building at Ferncliffon tbe-Hudson, just where that beautiful river, the Rhine of Amerioa, enters the Catskill moun? tains, the finest private residence on tbta continent and one of the finest in the world Biltmore.

Mr. Astor, however, intends to surpass Biltmore in all of these respects His architects have been at work for several years upon the plans Tbey have examined every privets end royal residence that is worth looking at and claim that when Ferncliff is finished it will be the noblest and st luxurious home in,existence, iure Astor is giving personal attention to the details.

Dr. Herrington exhibited in our office quite a singular coin which be says was dug up or plowed up on his place in tais county near Girth. It is of brass and copper (ruoro brass than copper) and about the size of our 25 cent silvet coin. It has on one face a United States flag and aronnd it the legend "Califor? nia Counter." On the reverse side is a United States eagle, with the arrows and olive branch in his talons, around which aro the words "United States of America." It has no date. The word counter means a "false piece of money cr stamped metal, used as means of re? coiling." Another meaning ia "money in contempt." This may have been mat e long ago by some private enter? prise for convenience and not for com? mon use as money. ? Waynesboro True Citizen Steamboatlng on the Jordan. The progress of civilization has at last reached tbe Jordan, and a steam boas churns the water in which John baptized. The Abbot Pachomius of the monastery of St. John at Jericho made the first attempt at steam navigation wit 1 a diminntive lannch about three yea rs ago. The experiment was so suc? cessful that a small steamer was pur? chased a year later and taken to the Jordan. This boat, the Prodromus, now main? tains a regular passenger service be? tween the bridge near Jericho and the southern end of the Dead sea and is well patronized by the tourists and pilgrims. I , A Big- Chunk of Ice. James Garrison, a farmer living in Camden county, Mc, put up ice dur? ing the winter, and his crop is all in one piece. It measures 20 feet each way. He constructed a bo?, into which, by means of troughs, he conveyed stream's of water fron a spring in the hillside. The water froze, and when the box was tilled the troughs were re? moved. Around this box Mr. Garrison built a larger one, filling the space be? tween the two with charcoal and saw? dust. He says he will drill and blast his huge cube of ice as fee may have oc? casion to use it during the summer. aee> ???? - Army doetors look out for good news eveo more eagerly then the general in command of tbe forces, for they know that it makes the difference between life and death to many of their patientf Nothing hinders tbo reoovery of tbe wounded so muoh as depression of spirits and aoxioty.

S SHORT NEWS STORIES. When Mr. X. Was "Dnde" ? Empress Kept Out hy loldloro?lleutcn at ium Own Gante. A man prominent In tho politics of this part of the country had an oppor? tunity recently to show his nerve, says Washington correspondent, and tho manner In which be stood the tost won him many warm adherents among those who had mistaken his peaceable qualities for cowardice. Visiting a small town iu Virginia, Mr. X. was de? layed long beyond traintime by Ids business. It was necessary, therefore, for him to remain during the night, lie made arrangements accordingly at the village tavern for his accommoda-* tion, and, being tired and worn out from a long and hard day's work, he went promptly to bed and to sleep. Some time in the night Mr. X. was awakened by a bright light shining in his eyes. Looking up, he espied a huge black negro sitting before the lamp on the table In the center of the room, his arms folded and ids great eyes, which seemed to be all whites, gazing intent? ly at him. A look of horror overspread the darky's face as Mr. X. opened his eyes, and when he sat up In bed and demanded in a tierce voice, "What in the devil arc you doing in my room?" the negro sprang from his seat, panic stricken, and, darting from the room, shouted or rather gasped out: "Yo's dade. mister; yo's dade! 'Deed, yo's dade!" The vlstor did not move; but, turning over, so he says, went comfortably to sleep. Asking for an explanation of this strange incident in the morning, Mr. X. was told that one of the regular boarders of the hotel had suddenly died the evening before. After tho body had been prepared for burial the porter was directed to watch beside it until morning. The superstitious negro went reluctantly to his post, and, mis? taking the room, he set himself to watch Mr. X., who was peaceably dreaming. ISmpress Kept Ont hy Soldiers. Discipline in the German army is very strict. Not long ago the empress, returning fron^ a walk with a lady in waiting, was stopped at the park gate by a sentry, who refused to let her enter. In vain the lady represented she was the empress. The soldier told her he did not know her and could not let her pass till be could get some one to iden* REFUSED TO LET BXB PASS. tify her. This was eventually done by another soldier, and only then did the sentry allow his sovereign's consort to enter her own gates. The man has since had a special mes? sage from tbe emperor highly approv? ing his steady adherence to orders. Beaten at Ills Own Game, "A good, strong bluff at the proper time is a very good thing, but it may fall Hat," said a well known traveling man who is at present vlaltlng Wash? ington. "It was at one of the best ho? tels in Kansas City a few days ago thai one of the guests stepped into the lobby to leave his umbrella and, not desiring to go to his room, thought he would try a scheme to prevent some one ironi walking off with it. "Taking a slip of paper from his pocket, in huge black letters he wrote the following notice: 'Beware! The man who owns this umbrella weighs over 250 pounds and can strike a ten ton blow, lie wijl be back in 15 min? utes.' "It was not long thereafter that some one was attracted by the sign, und he feared not the consequences of the dire threat. Quickly taking the coveted umbrella, he removed the pa? per and, turning It over, wrote on tho back as follows: 'The man who took the umbrella weighs less than 130 pounds, but can walk ten miles an hour. He is never coming back.' "When the big fellow returned, he read the reply courteously, but he did not desire even to look for his un? known friend. The drinks were on him, and he did not murmur. He bad been beaten at Ms own game."?Wash? ington Post. No Shoes to Fit Him. Booker T. Washington, the leading colored educator of the United States, arrived on the St. Louis, He said he liked Paris, but thought the exactions of fashion in that city amounted to tyranny. "When 1 went into a store a few weeks ago to purchase a pair of shoos, I could not lind any large enough to be comfortable," he said.
