been a fatality attached to Mr. Smith’s
matrimonial alliances, for again, he had
to wear crape or! his hat. The sister of
No. 4 tried as-only a warm-hearted
woman can to comfort her disconsolate
brother-in-law until his heart was deep

How Kings Dine.
Marshal McMahon is fiugal,and nev
er makes any observation on what is
set before him. He is not a great
drinker, hut very fond of fruit.
Queer. Victoria is not a great eater,
but she likes beef and pastry.
The Emperor of Russia is fond of
game (I trust the “cheif’-is no player
on words.) lie drinks plenty of Bur
gundy and champagne.
The Emperor of Germany drinks any
thing—Marcobrunner, I.iebfraumilien
and Iloederer. lie is a simple-hearted
merry guest. Ho likes beef and sweet
dishes.
The Emperor of Austria is a serious
eater. He prefers beef and mutton to
poultry. He drinks Hungarian wines
and Bordeaux.
Victor Emanuel lias a strong appetite;
loves small birds ; docs not touch the
boars he kills. Burgundy is his wine.
The King of the Netbelands is a
splendid eater. Give him anything
and salmon; with good old wine. His
cellars are the.lineat in Europe.
The King of the Belgians has a
stomach nrr-hjgger than a sparrow’s.
Cannot eat Lunch; larks 'will do, and
old Burgundy.
The Ex-King of Hanover likes pheas
ants, grouse and smoked hams, Rhenish
wines and Moselle.
The King of Portugal is a miserable
guest; eats little, drinks less.
Alphonso XII. has a brave stomach.
Plenty of poultry, veal, dessert and
claret. * .
An Indian Duel.
A citizen of Sioux City, who hasEpent
much time among the agencies of the
up river Indian, says it is amusing, as
well as touching to hear an Indians,
sing his dea'th song. Our informant
was at Standing Rock a few months
since, and one day he observed an un-
sua! stir among tie, Indians. Soon two
bucks came forth from different lodgbs,
each with a gun in-bis hand. They
walked out some little distance from
the rest of the Indians and took posts
distance from each other about fifty
yards. At a given signal they "'tamed,
raised their rifles to theirfaces atrd-fired.
Beth fell fell, wounded—one fatally.
They were immediately surrounded by
their friends, who made no particular
effort to bind their wounds but simply
stood around talking among themselves
and gesticulating, while the wouuded
Indians, as soon as they fell, began the
death song. There was little music in
it. It was a sort of deep-down, unnat
ural tone of voice, kept up lor half a
minute or so at a time, when it would
cease, and the sufferers would in the
interim make a confession of all tne
evil deeds they had ever done. They
would tell of the massacres in which
the had bee engaged; how many Bcalps
they had lifted from the heads of white
people, the number of ponies they had
stplen, together with all sorts ef unim
portant evildojngs in their lifetime.
This accomplished, they wrre ready to
give up the ghost.— Cmaha Herald.

Extraordlnord Compact Between two Black
Politicians in Beaufort.
A Beaufort, S. C. correspondent of
the News & Courier says:
Quite an amusing questiongrewing out
of the result of the election has just
been mooted between twocolored politi
cians, and causes considerable merri
ment at the expense of one of the mem
bers of the Legislature, Joe Robinson
by name. It seem3 that he he was a
red hot and blind pupporter of Cham
berlain, and being a candidate upon
the Radical ticket considered it neces
sary to be excessively demonstrative.
Abram Jenkins, on the other hand,
was an equally ardent supporter of
Hampton to the bitter end, and had
to bear the shaft of malicious persecu
tion from his colored fellows in conse
quence thereof with more than human
fortitude. While party feeling was at
its greatest height, Jenkins who was a
candidate for the Legislature on the
Democratic ticket, and Robinson who
was a candidate upon the Radical en
tered into a solemn compact, reduced
to writing and seeled with their seals,
and which was duly recorded, that if
Hampton was declared Governor Rob
inson should serve Jenkins as his slave,
for the space of six months, and if
Chamberlain was the successful cantii-
pate Jenkins agreed equally to serve
Robinson, and to acknowledge noothtr
master for the same length of time. Ac
cordingly the day after the due instal
lation of Hampton,Jenkins, who is n
waiter at the hotel, sent word to Rob
inson, who is a mattress-maker, that
having no use for him himself, and not
wishing to be burdened with the ex-
E enes of feeding a servant, he had hired
im to Messrs. Waterhouse & Riker to
work upon their wharf, and ordered
him to report at 9 o’clock next morning.
Up to this time Robinson has not put
in an appearance, and Jenkins threat
ens to enforce his lien upon his services
through the courts. Jenkins says ’he
shall not go to Columbia with bis con
sent, aud, if admitted to his seat in the
Legislature, that he shall certainly
claim his salary.
Pencil Sketches in the East.
Here are some light sketches from
the pencil of an English traveler in the
East, a few months ago, that have lost
none of their interest by the develop
ments of the last week or two:
Makixg Turkish 8oi.dif.rs.
“On one side ef the way a train of re
cruits is landing from the Scutari boat.
* * * The recruits are tattered and
travelwom; some of them have evident
ly marched from the far interior of Asia
Minor to reach the rendezvous, and all
look as if the most meager fare, both
as to quantity and quality, had been
the best they could obtain. They
shuffle off in uneven file toward Gala-
ta; but it is surprisng how content and
alert they will appear when the} - re
turn a few hours hence equipped and
armed as soldiers, and on their way to
barracks in Sfamboul.”
Gen. Igxatieff.
“In the street, however, are all the
embassy palaces, except that of Eng
land ; and upon its execrable pavement
were to be met, so full was Constanti
nople of notabilities, some three or
four in an ordinary stroll. You could
scarcely miss, and would not fail to
notice, one sturdy, martial man, with a
resolute, restless face and ever watchful
eye, General Ignatieff.”
Abdul Hamid.
“Abdul Hamid has a slight figure,
but a Bhrewd as well as commanding
expression, in spite of ill health and
nervousness on his pale, somewhat Ar
menian face, with its long features and
close black beard, and he seems to won
der, as he bows courteously, whether
the cannon fired by his subjects or the
honor paid him by his powerful neigh
bors betoken the most lasting respect.”
Scene in Court-
“William, look—tell us, William,
who made you ?”
William who was considered a fool,
screwed up his face,and looked thought
ful and somewhat bewildered—
“Moses, I s’pose !”
“That will do,” said counselor Gray,
addressing the court. “The witness
says he supposes Moses made him; that
is an intelligent answer—more than I
thought him capable of giving, for it
shows that he has some faint idea of
scripture. I submit that it is not suffi
cient to entitle him to be sworn as
a witness capable of giving evidence.”
“Mr. Judge,” said the fool, “may I ax
the lawyer a question ?”
“Certainly,” said the judge.
“Well, then, Mr. Lawyer, who d’ye
s’pose made you ?”
“Aaron, I s’pose,” said counselor
Gray, imitating the witness. After the
mirth had somewhat subsided, the wit
ness drawled out:
“Wall, ne’ow, we do read in the
book thar Aaron once made a calf, but
who thought the darned critter got in
here!”
The judge ordered the man to be
sworn.
The Influence of Methodism.
Bishop Doggett, in a recent address
at Baltimore, said, in the course of some
statistical remarks about the Methodist
Church, that “in 1SOO there were less
than 700 ministers; in 1876, throughout
the world there wore 27,591 traveling
and 61,474 local preachers, making a
grand total of 89,095. The church pro
perty at present is valued at $80,000,000,
and the amount raised in a single year
for church andjother religious purposes
readied 820,000,000. In 1S00 thcchurch
numdered 188,005 members; in 1875,
4.27S.107, besides the Sunday school,
with 3,500,000 scholars and 600,000
teachers. Taking into consideration
other facts, there are not less than 10,-
000,000 of persons under the influence
of Methodism.”

Prof. Tyndall’a Warning-
In concluding an address to the stu
denis of University College (London)
Prof. Tyndall, who is unquestionable
one of the most indefatigable brain
workers of our century, said, “Take care
of your health. Imagine Hercules as
oarsman in a rotti n boat; what can he
do there but by the very force of his
stroke expedite the ruin of his cr ft ?
Take care of the timbers of your boat.’
The distinguish-d scientist’s advice is
equally valuable to all workers. We are
apt to devote all “tir et.prgits t*> wield-
ine tlie oars, our strokes fall firm and
fast, but few of us examine or even
think of the condition of our boats un
til the broken or rotten timbers sudden
ly give way, and we find ourselves the
victims of a calamity which could have
been easily avoided hy a little fare-
thought. What began with a slight
fracture, or perhaps even a careless ex
posure to disorganizing influences, ends
in the complete wreck of the life-boat.
The disease which began with a slight
headache or an undue exposure to cold
terminates in death, unless its progress
be checked, and the dieease remedied.
The first symptoi.s, the heralds of dis
ease. give no indication of the strength
of the on-coming foe, and the victim
trusts that his old ally, Nature, will
exterminate the invader. But Disease
is an old general, and accomplishes his
most important movements in the
night-time, and some bright morning
finds him in possession of one of the
strongests fortifications; and when he
has once gained a stronghold in the sys
tem, Nature ignon inously turns traitor
and secretly delivers up the whole
physical armory to the invader. Like
the wily politician, Nature is always
on the strongest side, and the only way
‘o insure her support is to keep your
vital powers in the ascendant. Keep
your strongest forts—the stomach ana
liver—well guarded. Do not let the
foe enter the arterial highways, for he
will steal or destroy your r tliest mer
chandise and impoverish your king
dom. To repulse the attacks of the
foe, you can find no better ammuni
tion than Dr. Pierce’s Family Medi
cines. (Full directions accompany
each package.) His Pleasant Purgative
Pellets me ispecially effective in de
fending the stomach and liver. His
Golden Medical Discovery for purify
ing the blood and arresting coughs and
colds. If you wish to become familiar
with the most approved system of de
fense in this warfare, and the history of
the foe’s method of invasion, together
with complete instructions for keeping
your forces in martial order in time of
peace, you can find no better manual
f 4V oo/i 4004100 4liow o Pnnnla Q
of these tactics than “The People’s

A Hanging Scene at Aiken S. C,
The Chronicle & Constitutionalist thus
describes the closing scenes of the hang
ing of a six foot negro murderer at
Aiken, S. C.: Sheriff Holley adjusted
the rope around the convict’s neck,
placed the blaclr cap over his head,
and left him standing alone on the
drop. As the sheriff reached the bot
tom step the triggers were sprung, the
drop fell, and Anderson was launched
into eternity. Tha rope had been sub
jected to a heavy strain, in order to
stretch it, previously., and pit dug un
der the gallows so that there would be
sufficient distance for the fafl.. The
great weight of Anderson, who was a
very large man, caused the rope to
stretch beyond all expectation. For a
brief moment after lie fell he hung per
fectly -motionless, then.. a convulsive
quivering commenced, and the legs
were thrown umMid let down. It then
became apparent' that the man’s toes
were touching the ground. Sheriff H.
and an assistant hastened to shovel
earth from beneath, but the rope seem
ed to stretch as fast they could remove
the soil. -The v body jerked spasmodi
cally in meantime. Finally, how
ever, the toesitf iing clear. The mur
derer felFprecisely at-12 o’clock and at
tweniyjninutes piist’that hour, life was
extinct. The crowd quietly dispersed,
and Aiken’s second execution since the
War, was over. 1 "

From Morgon county, Ga., the
following statement is sent: “The lar
gest crop of cotton ever made in Georgia
was by Mr. Thomas Worthen, of Wash
ington county, latitude 32. Mr. Worthen
planted an acre of common land for a
State fair prize, and manured it as high
ly as human avarice could desire, then
ploughed and ploughed until the soil
was broken up and mixed and made
perfect for germinating seed and pro
ducing the plant The season being
propitious, he made, as was testified
bv his neighbors, five bales, or nearly
2,500 pounds of lint or staple, and 4,-
500 pounds of seed. The record of
what I wreteis recorded in the books
of the State Agricultural Society of
Georgia.”
Shumla, the Key to Constanti
nople.
The most important fortress on Turkish
ground in the way, by which the Rus
sian army is apparently coming, is
Shumla, located in Bulgaria, forty-seven
miles from Varna, on the Black Sea,
near the railroad from Varna to Rust-
chuk. Shumla is located in a gorge on
the northern declivity of the Balkan
mountains, on the direct route from Rou-
mania to Constantinople. It is regarded
as the key to that city. The fortifica-
tioas are unusually strong. They resisted
the Russian assault in 1774, 1810 and
1828. It is very likely that the Turks
will make a desperate struggle north of
the Varna and Rnstchnk railroad, which
runs a few miles north of Shnmla.
Shumla has a population of 25,000 to
30,000, and is quite a manufacturing
town.—Courier-Journal.
