The South Carolina university has 200 students at present, , The water courses in various parts of the state are very low and the dry spell continues. 1 Throughout the state, even in the southwest counties, a white frost whs ob served Friday morning. The ball of the South Carolina club will take place in Columbia on the night of November 11th. It promises being a brilliant affair. In Newberry and Laurens counties there are many fields which have not yet been invaded by cotton pickers. It is estimated that about one-eighth' of the crop has not yet been gathered. The work of repairing bouses in Char leston goes on bravely. Business is said to be improving every day and the people are hopeful, if not happy. The residents of the city have enjoyed immunity from earthquake shocks for nearly ten days, and confidence has been wonderfully re stored. ALABAMA. ( The nail factory at Brierfieid is ship ping 400 kegs of nails daily. The frost has been general in Alabama and thick ice has been reported from many places. About 100 arms and hands have been tom to pieces by gin saws in Alabama this season. Thirty-five acres of land, laid off in town lots, recently sold in Russellville for $3,626.50. A number-of cases of illicit distilling have been before the United States court at Huntsville. 'The next session of the North Alabama presbytery is to be held in Gadsden .in April next.

In the circuit court in Eutaw, the case of the state against Amos Washington, indicted for murdering a peddler named Teddy Meehan, in Sumter county, Ala bama, in November, 1885, was tried on a change of venue from Sumter county, and the jury rendered a verdict of guilty and sentenced him to be hung. This was the same case that was tried in Sumter county in February, 1886, and which, on appeal to the supreme court, was re versed. Counsel for defense say they will again appeal the case to the supreme court. : GEORGIA. Primus Perkins, colored, is in jail at Bainbridge, charged with incest with his daughter, Lizzie. His wile swore out tne warrant. A wealthy pitizen of Americus refused t6 accept national bank notes in payment for a real estate sale made the other day, demanding gold instead. When gold was immediately produced by the pur chaser, he decided that he could proba bly get along with the bank notes, and no doubt did so. Mrs. Erwin Hayes, an old lady seventy years old, living in Jackson county, on the Athens and Jefferson road, fourteen miles from Athens, met with an accident on Sunday night last that resulted in her death the following day. It seems that for some time Mrs. Hayes’ mind has been affected, but no restraint was kept over j„r. On the Sunday night mentioned the lady was. wandering around the house with a lamp in her hand,-when, it is supposed, she either dropped the lamp or it exploded, scattering the’ oil over her person, that at once became a solid sheet of flame. 'Mrs. Hayes lingered in great agony until Monday, when she died. Colonel A. K. Childs and Mr. Walter Childs have returned to Athens from Nacooehee valley,bringing with them all ( the teams and mining outfit. Their gold mine was leased for five years to Mr. Johnson, formerly of Charleston, | who had married a daughter of Mr. Williams. Mr. Johnson bears the entire expense d working the mine, and pays Messrs. Childs & Nickerson one-fonrth of all the gold he gets for rent. This mine was paying handsomely, and. the reasons for leasing are that a great many petty and annoying suits had been brought that mo fettled in the trade. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, | BUDGET OF FUN.

Bishop Whipple’s Experience Related. A terrible accident occurred on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail way on Wednesday ; last. The following is the statement of 8n eye-witness: Bishop Whipple, who arrived direct ffom the scene of the Rio wreck, says: ‘•The freight train reached Rio about twenty minutes before the limited train which was wrecked, and the switch had been left open, ! Our train was going-at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, so the train officials said, and the courage and bravery of the engineer cannot be pursed too highly. He stayed with the engine, and I have never known- an air brake to be set sq- quickly and strongly as that ohe was.: I was in the first sleep er, and had a befth in the end next to the day coach. ; Mr. McGinnis, of Morris, Was ih a berth opposite me. The instant of the shock he sprang from his berth and ran to the front end of the car, but it was impossible to get out at that end, for it had telescoped. He rushed back and cried out : '‘Come and help me save these people who are being burned to death. ’ I had been awakened but a few minutes before and had looked at my watch. It was 12:30 o’clock, I followed McGinnis in my Rocking feet. He ran faster than I aid! when I came to the burning coach li. had taken I wo children from a woman near the rear of the coach. She said her name was Sherer, of Winona, and asked him to save her children for their father was living. We both tried to lift the woman from the car, but we could not, for she was wedged beneath the broken seats. A moment after we reached her her dress took fire, and she faintedapd was burned to death before our eySTi TTbere was compara tively little 8cresf 0 g coming from the car, but there wtv “rather low moan of suffering; and IJSSfieve that most of those who perished were killed outright. The car was’telescoped at both ends. Mr. Ames, who was An the train, saw the passengers in that coach and so did my wife, and they think there were seven teen. There were two sisters of charity who boarded tliq train and were* bound for Winona. There was a mother and daughter whose -names are unknown. Three young men, a middle aged man, Mrs. Sherer, her mother and two chil dren; a man that got on at Columbus, two men who boarded the train at Water- town Junction, and a man who climbed out at the top. lie and the two children were saved; Tlik others were burned to death. Everything was done that could be done for the comfort of-the passengers who were left. The ladies on the train were especially kind in caring for the two motherless children. One was a little girl about four years old and the other baby a little boy! The passengers in the sleeping cars had some slight bruises,but none were seriously injured.” Bishop Whipple said as for himself he was in good condition, though the ex citement had affected him somewhat. The, other passengers say that Bishop Whipple was among the most active and cool-headed of all the passengers and did gallant service in trying to save the poor woman who was being burned to death, not ceasing his efforts until the flames drove him away, THANKSGIVING DAY. AN OPPOSITION TRAIN. The Nashville and Chattanooga rail road in conjunction with the Weslern and Atlantic and Georgia Central, will put on a cannon ball train to run to Jacksonville, Fla., to compete with tne East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia system. A lively war is anticipated, and there is talk of a renewal of former hos tilities between the East Tennessee and the Western and Atlantic. THB ROME AND DECATUR RAILROAD.

Attorney General Garland has given an opinion to the secretary of the treas ury that national banks must deposit in terest bearing bonds to secure their cir culation and that the called three per cent bonds cannot bs used as a basis of circulation.

A young teacher in one of our primary departments spent the greater part of an afternoon in describing the appearance and habits of the mole to her class. And when she had finished she, said: “Now, children, I want you all to try and re member what I have told you, for I shall call upon one of yon to repeat it to-mor row.” Accordingly on the morrow she began by asking, “What did I talk about yes terday?” Up flew a dozen hands in the air, sig nifying that the owners were ready with the answer. “Youmay tell me, Carrie,” said the young teacher, singling out a five-year old who had seemed uncom monly eager to be singled, and the five- year old, with a beaming smile, in a loud and cheerful voice proclaimed: “A wart;” Chicago Tribune. She Knew It. ' “There!” exclaimed young Spriggins, suddenly, as they were all sitting on the piazza. “I must go and get shaved. My- face is as rough as a cow’s tongue., I tell you it feels uncomfortable to have these little short bristly hairs all over a fel low’s chin.”'; Miss De.Puyster always gushes when young Spriggins says any thing. “I know it,” said she now effusively. And then’ everybody leaned forward and asked her all at once how she knew it,. but Miss De Puyster only blushed painfully and said that they were horrid things. ~S(r>mm>ille Journal. Sentiment and Hard Prose. lie was rather sentimental, and he and his friend were in the park. A little way off two ladies were seated. One of them was very pensive and extremely pretty. She was resting her cheek on her hand, and her eyes were full of far- off contemplation. “She's pretty, isn’t she?” said ho. “By Jove, I’m falling in love with that girl. I wonder who the fellow is she’s think ing about? I say, wouldn’t it be pleas ant to think a pretty girl like that could sit and dream about you as she’s dream ing about somebody? Let’s walk past and look at her.” SO they Walked slowly past. The maiden was still wrapt in contemplation, and, as they passed, her companion said, quite distinctly: ' “Now, Emily; this is all foolishness.

Little Aleck was a small-sized African who was employed in a newspaper office as the errand boy, says the St. Paul Globe. He was rigged up in a blue suit. A cap with the name of the paper thereon completed his Showy costume. He be came very much interested in the work. In sport the editor of the paper called little Aleck in and told him it would be among his duties, whenever he saw an item of news on the street, to bring it in the office. “Now,’l said the editor, “if you should happen to run across a dead man, or a lost child, or a runaway horse, bring it into the office. Do you understand?” “Yes, sah,” replied Aleck, “I done ketch on.” .. , Not long after the conversation Aleck, while walking along the street on an errand, saw a runaway horse coming down the street. The horse passed him, and Aleck took after the frightened ani mal. Several blocks away, the horse got rid of the carriage that was attached to him by running against a lamp-po-t. Be fore the horse was able to get under headway after the little accident, Aleck had him by the bridle, and was on his back riding him down town. Straight to the newspaper office Aleck rode the horse. Once there he dismounted, and leading the horse to the door of the busi ness office, yelled out to the editor, who happened to be standing there: | “Boss, here’s a horse I done catch run ning away. Whar shall I put him while I go for dat,buggy what he smashed up?” Holding a Seat. “Will you be kind enough to watch my seat here and allow no one to net into it while I go into the smoking car and take asmoke?” asked the presumptuous passenger in the opposite seat of me. What else could ! do hut to answer yes, though I had started out on a pleas ure excursion, and this man’s condescen sion quite knocked all the pleasure out of the trip at the beginning, and now that fatal seat lay on my mind like my last year’s debts—provided I had some, . At the next station a big man came in, and spying the only vacant seat, pre-empted it on the spot, and pro ceeded to make himself comfortable. I sat a long time considering: how far my responsibility went, but I saw that 1 must do something, so I mildly whisp ered to him that the seat belonged to another, and he scowled and left ai the next station, where some ladies ■ got aboard. As a last resort I placed i.iy new hat over in the seat to preserve it—the seat, not the hat.—and two of the females sat down on the hat. They did not appear to notice the hat, or probably thought it was the bustle, , and began to make themselves at home. I told'them as coolly as I could.that the seat was oc cupied. They said of course it was. I remarked that the owner’s hat was under them. They obliterated me with a frown and got up; the hat didn’t get up. Its get-up was gone. I tried to straighten out the hat and felt sick, so did the hat, I indulged inwardly in some strengthy secular language, and soon a tall, long- fellow got aboard,- rivhpse pantaloons Were poked into his boots to rest, and whose shirt yearned toward a wash-tub, and took the fatal seat without paying any attention to me waving him away, I had to do it, though I shuddered, I walked to him and gently and politely told him the seat belonged to another man, when, all of a sudden, he jumped up as if there was a tack in the seat and gave a regular Comanche howl, as I sat back into ray seat, wishing there was a trap door through the floor of the car. “This seat belongs to another, does it?” Where is the duffer? Where are his sypptoms? Nothing here. Where are his remains, his silk umbrella, his peanut shells, his tobacker spit, his chewing-gum shoes, his fur-collar over coat, his thirty-eight calibre valise, and his oye-glass? Show me, if you please, his assets, his liabilities, his heirs, ad ministrators, or assigns! Where is his mortgage, or his lien, or twenty years’ lease? I am Cross-eyed Bill from Bra zos 1 (and he parenthesized the name with a couple of long-horn revolvers). Are you the ozone, the canned fr s uit man who is; trying to preserve this seat for the coming man, or the rising generation?” I begged to prove an alibi, insanity, or anything legal that was necessary or would do any good, and begged him not to mention it, when in came the former occupant and asked the stranger shortly to get out. The stranger 1 got out, and the owner of the seat began to fall all over himself, to explore the ceiling with , his feet, to test the floor, to unhandle the neighboring seats, and when the stranger laid him gently down in the aisle and spread him out comfortable to rest, and recuperate, and catch his breath, and get his health back, and try' to feel better, and try to be easier, and wait for a doc tor, and gather his senses, I had time to think that it was the right way for a man to be served who will ask another to hold his seat during his absence.—Detroit Free Press. How Bohemian Glass is Colored. The ornamentation of the glass is done partly in connection with the exposure in the furnace and partly in the finishing shops, where the work is completed by cutting, polishing, tarnishing, etching, painting and . mounting in metal. The glasshouses have at their command a very complete color scale for transparent, opaque and clouded glasses. But it must. not be supposed that a crucible is placed in the furnace for each color, from which glass colored for each ornament is to be made. The colors are worsed out by means of what are called pastes, which are kept On hand in sticks or cake*. From pieces of these pastes, previously warmed till they are soft, suitablo quan tities fire cut off, laid upon the founda tion of white or colored glass, and then spread out by drawing Or blowing. By this means only is an economical, use of such costly materials as gold and silver compositions possible. Some of the gla-ses thus treated—gold, copper, and silver glasses—remain still little, or not at all, colored after the melting, shaping, and quick cooling, and do not take on that bright hue until they are reheated. This is the case with the new yellow silver glass, which con tinues uneolored after the intermelting of the silver salt until it is exposed in the furnace again. Very fine effects are produced by blending or : overrunning of paste colors, provided proper attention is given to the laws of harmony. A blue glass cup is, for example, overlaid with silver glass at its upper edge, and this is drawn down in gradually thinner tones till it fades away at the foot of the vase. Gold and copper ruby colors are thus Combined' with green glasses, etc. An other brilliant effect is produced when a still hot bulb of glass is rolled in finely pulverized aventurine glass, and after this is melted, and previous to the shap ing of the vessel,is overlaid with a coat ing of either colored of colorless glass.— Popular Science, Monthly. did you ever. Married in Two States. A whimsical marriage took place in the Eastern part of the State last Satur day, during an excursion from Lafayette to Dayton, Ohio, over the Lake Erie and Western Railway. While the train was crossing the dividing line between Indi ana and Ohio it was stopped by an ac commodating conductor, and David Clark, residing near Mulberry,candidate for Sheriff of Clinton County, assisted off the cars a lady named Mrs. Mary Hawkins, of Lafayette. The gentleman placed himself on the Indiana side of the line and the lady on the Ohio side. A j minister in attendance for the purpose straddled the dividing line and soon pro- nounced the couple man and wife. The j whole 800 passengers on the train then | formed a circle around the central, fig- j ures in this singular marriage and gave , them three cheers, the ever present | photographer secured a negative, the I band played, and the: train started up with everybody happy.—IndiaJiapoUs \ Journal- ■ T -■ ' .

Its external dimensions are fifty feet long by twelve feet broad and ten feet high, and a careful compu tation shows that within it might be stored about 1,250 tons, weight of gold bullion, equal in value to $550,000,000. It is, heavy in proportion to its size weighing 100 tons, rifts walls are be lieved to be thicker than those of any other steel room of similar proportion in use in the United Kingdom. With the view of insuring greater security than has hitherto been obtained, its walls are composed of a triple series of plates similar to those Which the firm have for many yesrs used in the manufacture of bankers’ safes. These plates are so tough ened and hardened ass to be prartically impervious alike to the force of blows leverage and cutting by , drills. This “compounding of the (plates,”; as it is (termed, involved an enormous amount of drilling, no fewer than 1,000 holes being pierced in each section. Admission to the interior of this strong" room is ob tained by means of three massive doors each seven inches thick and weighing a tonanda half, but on the hardened steel pins on which they are hung they swing with the greatest of ease. Apart from the great thickness of compounded hard and mild steel plates in these doors, the prin cipal feature they present is the patent diagonal bolt. These bolts, of whiel— — there are twenty in each door, shoot out from the edge of the door at opposing angles of forty-five degrees, and thus powerfully dovetail the door into tha frame at either side. Thus any attempted wedging between the door and its frame simply tends to bind these bolts tighter into their holes. Trade Winds. W. M. Davis has recently given in the American Meteorological Journal an ac count of the derivation of the term “trade-wind.” The original meaning of the word “trade” has been so far replaced by an acquired meaning that a ponular error has arisen as to the derivation of the common term “trade-wind ” Web ster’s dictionary says the trade-wind i« “so called because of great advantage to navigators, and hence to trade.” Woroea ter’s dictionary explains it as “To called because favorable to commerce ’’ But looking further back, the followin'- extract from Skeat’s, etymoW'cal lUS tionary is instructive: g “Trade-wind a wind blowing in a constant direct on iormed from the phrase ‘to Ki° n ’ trade,’ to blow always in tL , ow (course.” A step further ( i; Same ,ers_ that trade is “properly tw patn which we ‘tread.’ It on on -J • ■ literally, a ‘path.’ The M.
