Original Anecdote.
Mu. Editor :■—1 propose to give } T ou
an occasional anecdote tor the amuse
ment and entertainment of your read
ers.
The first is of the gifted but lament
ed Judge Robert W. Charlton, of Sa
vannah.
Many years ago, when Robert was
quite a young man, hjs father Hon. T.
U. P. Charlton, with his family, spent
every summer in the delightful little
village of Clarksville, North EastGeor
gia.
One day Robert was passing along
the street in Clarksville, and it hap
pened lo be election day. Members of
Congress were then elected by what
was called the general ticket system
and not by districts as they now are,
when he was met by a verdant Demo
crat of the mountains, who accosted
him thus :
“Mr. Charlton are you the man that
is runriin for Congress.”
“No sir ! 1 am no candidate—my
father is, however, but may I ask, why
this inquiry /”
“Nothin only I hav’nt voted yit.”
“If it is consistent with your feel
ings I would like if you would vole tor
my father.”
“1 would jest as soon vote for him
ns any body.”
Mr. C. thanked him, and thinking
perhaps his friend was seeking a treat,
invited him into a neighboring bar
room.
“What will you take r”
“I never drink any thing, but I see
they have, some ginger-cakes, I would
as leive take one of them with you as
not.”
“Very well, give us a cake.”
“My brother is in town with me.”
“All right, take him a cake with my
respects.”
Another cake was purchased and
the two friends parted, “Greeny” to
find his brother,, and Mr. C. to join in
the merry dance with his young friends
in a parlor hard by. “The golden
hours on angels wings” passed rapidly
awav with Mr. Charlton. His friend
was soon forgotten.
Late in the afternoon when there was
a pause in the music and the dance,
our verdant friend, very much lo the
surprise of every orfe, stalked into the
parlor, inquiring for Mr. C. Of course
all eyes w’ere directed to our friend as
he approached Mr. C. Drawing from
his bosom a 4 by 0 inch cake, he said.
“Mr. Carlton, here’s your cake. My
brother had voted afore I seed him.”
Mr. C’s embarrassment was not
greater than his admiration for the fel
low’s honesty.
HAG.
Burned Alive.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, furn
ishing the particulars of the late catas
trophe on the South Carolina Railroad,
which was announced in the telegrams
Sunday morning, says:
About 2 o’clock yesterday morning,
the up passenger train from Charleston
reached the Congaree trestle, across
which a decayed tree had fallen. The
train was made up of two passenger
coaches, filled with passengers, and
the mail, baggage and express cars,
besides ten or twelve box cars heavily
freighted. Immediately before reach
ing the break in the road, caused by
the fallen tree, which had broke the
superstructure of the trestle for sev
eral feet, one of the .firemen, Charley
Burns, discovered the chasm, but
thought it the shadow of a tree across
the track.. When still nearer, he dis
covered its true character, but too late
to stay the progress of the locomotive,
which jumped the break, and meeting
no track on the opposite side, keeled
over into the abyss, twenty feet below,
thirteen freight cars following and fall
ing one upon another into the chasm.
The locomotive, in falling, caught the
engineer. Mr. Seaborn Hargrove, who
was hurried beneath its ponderous
weight. Mr. James Gilbert, fireman,
was also entangled in the wreck of the
locomotive in such a manner that ex
trication was impossible, and his body,
if not killed outright, was completely
roasted to death by the lire in the en-
gine.
As soon as the shock was tell, Con
ductor Evans hurriedly ascertained the
cause, and discovered the horrible death
hanging over his engineer, whom,when
he reached the engine, by sliding down
the trestle timbers, he found still alive.
The most earnest and laborious exer
tions were pul forth by Conductor Ev
ans and others to rescue the unfortu
nate man, who retained his conscious
ness and appreciated the full extent of
his terrible position and the utter hope
lessness of his relief. By this time,the
cars next the engine were discovered
to be on fire, which was observed by
the engineer, who calmly importuned
his friends to leave him to HTs manifest
fate and protect themselves from the
burning w r reck which threatened to fall
upon them in a few minutes. With a
kindly message to his wife, he announc
ed his willingness “to go,” and calmly
folded his arms across his breast, to
await the terrible fate which hung over
him. Finding all efforts to extricate
him futile, with heavy hearts, the
friends of this heroic man were forced
to withdraw themselves from further
exposure to the fiery death which was
suspended over them, and leave him
to his awful fate.
The bodies of the two men were ex
tricated from the wreck during ihe day
yestetday. As if dying with folded
arms, the right hand and left arm ol
the engineer was burned completely
off, together with his legs at the knees,
and other parts of his body charred to
a complete crisp. The head and both
arms and legs of the fireman, Gilbert,
were burned off’, presenting one of the
saddest spectacles upon which human
eyes ever rested. Ofall the harrowing
scenes of the terrible disaster, the hor
rible death and mutilations ot these un
fortunate men were most melancholly,
and claimed the sympathy of the stout
est hearts. The other fireman, Char
ley Burns, was se verely scalded and
badly bruised, but unconscious, as it
were, of the extent of his injuries, was
enabled to extricate himself from the
wreck, and walk out of danger. Al
though suffering greatly yesterday, he
was cheerful and was brought from the
scene to Branchville, by Conductor
Moore, whose train arrived here last
night, and to whom we are indebted
for many of the particulars which w r e
give. He was carried to Charleston,
his home, and ihere are strong hopes
entertained of his recovery.
The remarkable preservation of the
passengers from die dangers which
threatened them in the common ruin
and destruction of the train, by fife, is
attributable to the fact that the Cars in
advance of the passenger coaches com
pletely filled the break and chasm,
leaving the passengers unharmed on
the track, when the two passenger
coaches were uncoupled from the burn
ing train, and shoved to a sale distance
down the track, by which they were
preserved from destruction.
Thirteen heavily laden freight cars,
locomotive and the baggage car arc
piled in one common ruin, with about
sixty or seventy feet of the trestle de
stroyed by the fire.
The origin of the fire is confidently
attributed by some of the passengers to
matches shipped among the merchan
dise in the freight cars. Olliers re
gard it as having been communicated
'ded, if necessary, to deceive the pa
tient.”
The remedy was discovered by Dr.
T nzukee, of eninent reputation in the
Western States, some lour years ago,
and used with great success by him,
Messrs. J. E. J. Coddington and the
writer of the communication referred
to. The latter also says :
“As yet it has noL been tried in spas
modic and other characterized asthma
or in the stridulous cough of pseudo
croup, nor has it been tried for the re
moval of cough in ordinary affections
of the air passages and bronchial lubes.
Why it should not prove eqnally effica
cious, experiment only can elucidate.”

Successfu! Free Trade Meetln
sells.
Wonders will never cease ! One of
the most notable signs of the limes is,
that a successful free trade meeting
has been held in Masachusetts. Upon
this important event, the New York Ex
press discourses thus :
“Honest manufacturers begin to see
that there are two sides to the Protec
tive Policy, and that even if it enriches
the manufacturer for a season, the pol
icy may be so overdone, as to create a
ruinous competition at home, and also
that, in the long run, living upon the
Government is neither safe nor pleas
ant. A reasonable free trade does not
object—certainly not at present—to
customs for revenue, and to all the ad
vantages for home manufactures inci
dent Lo pure revenue duties. They
hold, however, that beyond revenue
for the support ol Government, no taxes
on imports ought to he imposed,* and
that all deficiencies should be met by j
direct tax. Mere Protective duties

The difference, and its Remedy.
We alluded, yesterday, to the extra
ordinary fact that there is a difference
often cents per pound (National cur
rency) between the price of cotton in
Liverpool and that paid in our interior
markets. Was such a disparity ever
known before 3 Is there any other
cause for it than the character of the
currency, and the reckless and unscru
pulous speculations ol Northern “mid

cotton passes ? Had such a disparity
existed before the war, when itoin S to

and gave out lo her companions that
she could outjump Mike Flynn if her
brother could*not. Kate became very
earnest in her asserverations, and to
satisfy her, a match was made for a
purse of $75, and greatly to the sur
prise of her friends when the match
came off she won it. This greatly
shamed the Flynn jumpist and his
friends, so Miss Kale was challenged
to another contest, for $200 a side,
which came off at Savin Hill, Tuesday
afternoon.
The affair attracted quite a crowd lo
witness the sport, not less than four
hundred people being present. Kate
made her appearance dressed in flowing
red flannel drawers, a la bloomer, with
while merino shirt and a pair of pretty
gaiters tightly laced Lo her feet. Mr.
Flynn was dressed nearly in the same
manner. The arrangements being all
completed, the exercises began, Flynn
leading off’with a leap of ten feet and
three inches.
The patentee claims the power to trans
mit messages ten times as rapidly as
an expert penman can write, and to do
as much business over one wire as can
be done over ten wires by the Morse
system of transmission. The rates
contemplated are one cent per word
for all distances, the cheapness of
which could not fail to draw from the
mails all business correspondence, as
well as much of a private character
that cannot afford lo wait for postal
transmission.
POLYGAMY DEFENDED.
A man in Boston has written a book-
in defence of Polygamy. VVe quote a
paragraph in which he shows how the
mutual association of friends may ri
pen into love, and even into a polyga
mous marriage. He says :
For example, there are two female
friends residing together, and mutually

ten leet four and a half inches. This
created great excitement in the crowd
and nerved up Katie for something
better. The second leap was called
for, when Flynn came up to the scratch
and cleared ten feet seven inches, This
was a very long jump, and the Flynn
party felt greatly encouraged. But
Katie was again introduced, her friends
cheering aud feeling confident that she
would beat. Carefully she placed her
liLlle gaiter bools on the line, and,
Straining every muscle in her well-knit
fratno, made the leap, leaping ten feel
nine and three-fourths inches. This
was too much tor her competitor, and
amid the plaudits of the whole compa
ny Katie retired with her purse of $400.
As this affair has created great excite
ment in the neighborhood it is not im
possible that Katie maj- be started for
another match.—Boston Herald.
Cure for the Whooping Cough.-*
A physician writes to Dcmorest's Month
ly Magazine an interesting communica
tion on the nature and treatment of
whooping cough, and adds : “The
remedy lor the cure of this terrible dis
ease is simple. It is within reach and
procurable by all. Perhaps its very
simplicity will cause it to be neglected.
T |is simply to administer the decnciion
or infusion of the common castcnea vesca
chestnut leaves, or, if better understood
chestnut leaves “tea.” Thejinfusion is
prepared in the ordinary manner that
tea is daily prepared for domestic pur
poses—to-wit : Pour one quart of boil
ing water on one ounce of the chestnut
leaves and keep covered. When cold,
an ordinary tea cup full may be given
three or four times daily, the last at the
time of the patient retiring to rest for
the nigbt Sugar and milk may be ad-
A wealthy young man of their acquain
tance calls upon them frequently and
admires them both, and thev enjov his
visits, for neither of them has anv other
male associates. At length he invites
them both to a public entertainment.
Neither of them would be willing to
leave her friend and go with him alone,
nor could he well endure the thought
ofenjoyiug himself abroad with one
while the other would be deserted and
neglected at home—the other who
would enjoy the entertainment so
much, and whose enjoyment would so
much enhance theirs. Now’, if this
triple companionship shall ripen into
friendship, and the friendship into love
and the love shall result in a triple mar
riage, where, is the degradation/ Would
it not be still more heartless to desert
either of the friends now when each
heart is thrilling with the harmonious
music of the triple love ?”
While Thad. Stevens was a 3’oung
lawyer, he once had a case before a
bad-tempered Judge of an obscure
Pennsylvania Court. Under what he
considered very erroneous ruling, it
was decided against him ; whereupon
quoted in Liverpool on the 4th, 6§d.;
in New York on the loth (noocean tel-
egraph then) life. ; and in Columbus
on 18th, lOfc. Here is a difference of
2c. per pound between the Liverpool
and New York quotations, and 1 cent
per pound between New' York and Co
lumbus. There has been no material
increase in the rales of freight (on a
gold basis) or of insurance, since then.
But there hassbeen a great depreciation
of the currency for which cotton is sold
in this country, and a substitution
at the North of commercial gambling,
with all its tricks and frauds, for the
legimate speculation of former years.
“Rings” to control the price ol cotton
aud other products are one of the dis
honest devices ol this species of specu
lation. The New York “ring” is now
buying cotton, and is resorting to ev
ery trick and every advantage which
the possession of money give3 it, to
keep down the price until it has secur
ed enough of the staple ; and one of
these tricks is doubtless the restriction
of money facilities for the purchase of
cotton in the South.
If no other cause than those mention
ed above can be given lor the differ
ence of ten cents per pound between
the Liverpool and our Southern mar
kets, is not the remedy obvious . 3 Must
it not be reached by the planters with
drawing their cotton from the control of
the Northern “middle men,” and from
purchasers who buy with an irredeem
able and ^fluctuating currency? Direct
trade with Liverpool will afford the rem
edy, and we do not believe that any-
thing else will.— Columbus Enquirer.
CUBA.
Dr. W. C. Tincker has come from
Cuba and give much information to the
Tribune.
He has seen most of the Cuban
chiefs—Jordon, Marcano, Maximo,
Gomez, Figugeola, Hernandez, Peral
ta, Perdoma, Marmol, Hall, Vincente
Garcia, Rubalcalva, etc. These offi-
cets, in the eastern department, have
20.000 troops armed ; 30,000 are ready
for arms. They are organized well
for the service—have 40 pieces of ar
tillery, Napoleons, Parrotts, Wiards
and mountain howitzers—a tolerable
supply of ammunition. Quesada has
6.000 cavalry, infantry, and artillery,
in the Camagucy department. He
commands this, and also is general-in-
cliiet. The whole people are enthusi
astic and act as scouts and spies. The
Cinco Villas department has troops di
vided into small squads. They claim
25.000 armed men in this section ; but
there are probably 5,000. The great
Sugar estates are here.
Dr. Tincker thinks there are 28,000
armed Cuban soldiers, properly equip
ped. The policy is to avoid heavy
battles, and annoy the enemy with
small skirmishes, Jordan is held in
high esteem for his tact and abilities.
The people are confident of success.

The following is a description of
Cespedes :
Reporter—You have seen Cespades?
Answer—Have seen him, and talk
ed with him frequently. He is a man
about 45 years of age ; is a middling
stout gentleman agreeable temper, and
is quite mild mannered. His complex
ion is fair, though of dark brown hair
and eyes. There is no pretense about
him. He is no talker, yet when lie
speaks it is to the purpose. He reaefs
English well, and speaks it, though not
fluently. At first view one would take
