GENERAL ORDERS,
No. 25.
It appears from sundry petitions and official
representations that the present scanty supply of
food in the CarolinaS is seriously diminished by
the large quantity of grain consumed in numerous
diStillurieS, put up and worked in defiance of the
revenue laws of the United States; it is represen
ted that few or none OF the requirements of law
are observed in any of these establishments that
the officers of the internal revenue service while
endeavoriDg to assess and collect the whiskey tax
are frequently treated with disrespect and some
times menaced with violence; and that when
offenders are prosecuted in the civil courts and
violations of the internal revenue laws indsputa-
bly, proved, uries fail to convict the parties it is
further shown that this unlawful traffic makes
food dcarer in places where large numbers are de-
pending upon public and private bounty; that
the Government is, besides, detrauded OF large
amount of revenue that the authority of its civil
officers is brought into contempt; and further
more, that the mischief complained of tends to
increase poverty, disorder and crime; therefore,
in the exercise of the authority vested in the
Commanding General it is ordered that
I. The distillation or manufacture of whiskey
or other spirits from grain is prohibited in this
Military District. Any person so engaged or en-
ployed will be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
The possession of still or other apparatus for
this purpose will be considered presumptlve evil
dence OF violation of the revenue laws, and the
party parties using the same, on whose
premises, or in whose possession the same may be
found, will be arrested and brought to trial before
a military tribunal composed of the Commanding
officer OF the Post and two officers of the army
next in rank on duty within the territorial limits
of the Post. If the eXigencies of the service do
not permit the detail of other officers, that fact
will be duly certified and the Post Commander
will hear and determine the case.
II. The penalties, punishments and forfeitures
prescribed by the several actsof Congress for dis
tilling manufacturing whiskey other spirits
in violation of the revenue laws, will be imposed
and executed by the military tribunals hereby au-
thorZed.
III. No sentence extending to Imprisonment,
forfeiture of stills, liquor other property, or
the imposition of fine or other penalty will be
carried into effect until reported to these Head
quarters and approved by the Commanding Gen.
eral.
". All troops of the United States, Magis-
trates, Sheritfs, Constables, Police and Others in
authority are required, and all citizens are solc-
tied, to be vigilant in detecting and prompt in
giving information of the violation of these or
ders. Commanding officers will be held respon-
sible for their enforcement.

DESTRUCTION OF TABLE ROCK AT MAG
ARR FALLS.
The far-famed Table Rock, on the
Canada sid of Niagara Falls, which has
excited the admiration Of thousands
from all parts Of the world, and from
which multitudes have gazed on this
masterpiece of natures wonders, is no
longer in exietence. 1t was at one
time an extensive platform, juttiDg far
over the water below the falls
Portions have been falling for nearly
fifty years. In 1918 n mass 100 feet
long and 40 feet wide broke off and fell
into the flood below and ten years Ia
ser, in 1928, three immense masses fell
with crash that sounded out above
the eternal roar of the fails. Again, Il
fragment fell in 1929, and in 1850 a
huge mass 200 feet in length and 100
feet in thickness. Other portions fell
in 1857 and 1868. At one time up
wards of fifty persons had been
standing upon the rock but few min
utes before one Of these portions fell
The only loss sustained, however, was
an old hack, from which the horses
had been taken but few minutes be-
fore.
Owing to the frequent breaking away
Of portions Of the rock, it has of late
been regarded as dangerous, and per-
sons have been warned against going
on the rock or underneath it. Visitors
have thus been debarred some of the
grandest views to be had of the Horse
shoe Fall. The danger is gone, but
with it the view, Of which Charles
Dickens wrote:
1t was not till I came on Table
Rock and looked on the fall of bright
green water, that it came upon me in
its full weight and majesty. Then Nj
agara was forever stamped upon my
heart, an image of beatty, to remain
there changeless and indeliable, until it's
pulses cease to beat forever"
For two weeks past efforts have been
made to disengage what remained of
the rock, blasting with powder. Ad-
vantage was taken of deep chasm
formed by the weight of the projection
to sink hole ten or fifteen feet deep,
and then insert in the crevices an i'm
mense blast of powder. At P. NJ. to-
day, the match was applied, dark col
umn of smoke and sand arose, and
terrific crash was heard, and the last of
this once magnificent rock, still huge
in its proportions, and weighing hun
dreds of tons, rolled in the seething
cauldron below. LC.D.

Mr.. LINcoLN's DREAM.-In the
course of Judge Pierpoint's argument
yesterday afternoon he alluded, with
most impressive effect, to dream of
Mr.. Lincoln, which on several occas-
ions had occurred to him before great
national calamities. This dream he
had the night before his assassination.
and the next day he mentioned the fact
to General Grant, among others, say,
ing that he feared some great evil, and
expressing strong desire to hear from
Sherman, who was then in North Car
DINA, and whose army was the only
one not in telegraphic communication
with Washington. Judge Pierpoint
did not relate the dream itself; but Mr.
Lincoln related it before his death, and
like everything in any way connected
with that sad tragedy, it cannot fail to
have most pathetic interest. He
seemed to be at sea in vessel. that
was swept along by an irresistible cur.
rent toward a maelstrom, from which
it seemed no power could save her
Faster and faster the whirling waters
swept the fated ship toward the vortex,
until looking down into the black
abyss, amid the deafening roar of the
waves, and with the sensation of sink
ing down, down, down an unbelievable
depth, the terrified dreamer awoke.-
The same terrible dream Mr.. Lincoln
had four times; first before the first
battle of Bull Run, again before the
second disastrous defeat at the same
place, again tefore the battle of Muir
1teesboro, and finally, as above men
TONED, on the night before his own as
sasslnatlon. MIR. Lincoln had at last
come TO recognize the dream as a Dor.
tent OF some grave disaster. and one
can hardly consider his SO reoa a,,G oi IL
a mere superstition. Whetbey u WE .. ~
