The Grip Epidemic. Apparently the grip has come to stay. When this mysterious disdase hret ap peared a few winters ago, it was hoped that it might vanish after ravaging various parts of the earth; but it returned and it still continues to reappear With the approach of cold weather. Great Britain and the continent of Europe have been suffering from it for weeks past, and there has been a large increase in the death rate by reason of it. The disease has also manifested itself in various parts of the United States al ready, its prevalence being reported sim ultaneously in places as far apart as Dover, X. H., Leavenworth, Kan., and Memphis. It is most insidious in its attack, but it is a consolation to be as sured by the medical profession that it can be guarded against to a great extent by maintenance of the general health. Nobody can be to careful about taking cold or running'any risk of overexhaus tion, for it is when the system is thus weakened that one is most liable to be- rictim.

Bennett this morning, was followed at a? out 10 o’clock with the rumor that Mrs. Bennett had dropped dead at her home. ^ Investigation proved that the rumor was true. It seems that Mis. Bennett was standing in the hall when the coftin for the babe was brought in. The shock was pro bably too much for her overstrained nerves and she feli to the floor and expired in a few minutes. Physic ians were summoned and restoratives speedily applied, but to no purpose, the vital spark had fled. The com munity is greatly shocked over the x lanimauon. j occurrence. Mrs. Bennett bad not to be not only gay. J been ill, but was probably worn out and prostrated by the sickness and death of her child. Heart failure was the cause of her death.

The Savannah News says: It would not be in the least surprising if the South Carolina legislature should adopt the guillotine for the punishment of rapists, as proposed by Representative Williams and reported in our dispatches yesterday. All the scheme needs to in sure its acceptance is Governor Tillman’s sanction, and as lie is apt to do unex pected things the sanction may be given. It may be doubted that the guillotine would have any greater moral-effect than the gallows, but the establishment of a state guillotine would create another of fice, that of executioner, to he filled by the governor.
