HE ADVANTAGE OF MURDERERs.- In
view of the great number of murders daily
committed, the New York Herald speaks
thusly:
Hanging, if successful-that is, if it
break n mans neck-is the most sudden
death he can die. It ruptures the spine in
the Immediate neighborhood of the med,tlla
oblongata. and thus breaks up the communi-
cation of the nerve force or vital power to
the organs that carry on the human ma
chinery. IF the mans neck is not broken,
the first action of the cord is to close the
trachea, or wind-pipe and thus stop the
supply of air. 1t also congresses the large
veins in the neck which return blood to the
heart-the jugulnrs-but does not entirely
compress the large arteries that carry blood
to the brain, for these lie deeper. The i'm.
mediate physiological effect is congestion
OF the braln-a congestion not dissimilar in
its commencement from the congestion of
drunkenness, which is generally regarded as
agreeable, and the consequence of this con-
gestion-a consequence that perhaps follows
III three minutes after the pressure of the
cord is felt-is the total abolition of con-
scious sensation. The man may struggle
and writhe in n way terrible to see, but
these struggles are like those of commissions
generally-painful only to the beholder.
Therefore, If man is hanged successfully
he feels only the one sickening sensation Of
the plunge before he gets to the end of the
rope-three seconds of horror. If he is
hanged unsuccessfully, by strangulation, he
feels the same three seconds, and, in addi-
tion, between the pressure of the cord and
deep congestion of the brain, three minutes
of swimming, drowsy, uncertain unensi-
ness-at the worst, three minutes and three
seconds; and this is all we give of misery to
murderers Compare with this the pain
that man suffers before he dies from any
ordinary illness, the drawn out wretched-
ness of his three weeks of fever, the days of
agony with rheumatism and the bent for
ward, restless nights before this rheumatism
finally brings his damaged heart to q stand
still; the months of slow death entailed by
cancerous stomach; in fine, compare the
history of any fatal disease with the short
shrift of hanging, and then reflect that our
humanity now obliterates the murderer's
three minutes and three seconds by the use
of chloroform. Really it is fine age, and
if man is tired of this world and wants to
get out of it on easy terms, the thing for
him to do is to cut his neighbours throat and
be hanged-under chloroform."
Wonder if the Herald man ever tried the
experiment.

The Expulsion OF the Courier Reporter.


Mr.. EDITOR: Mr. j. T. Sloan, jr., the
Columbia correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, was expelled from the House Of
Representatives few days since. because
he had boldly brought before the world
facts which cannot be denied, relative to
the disgracefnl action of one Of tho colored
members towards the University Of South
Carolina; because he has unhesitatingly
brought to light the proceedings OF that
House; because he has spared no pains to
expose any one who was deserving of public
censure; because he has welded his pen in
defence of his lost, but still beloved State,
giving accounts of many blows strnck
against her Treasury; for these reasons he
has been honored in the eyes of those who
are respectable and educated in this State,
for his expulsion from that body, which has
preferred to grope in the darkness of its
proceedings, and allow no one to remain in
the walls of the building occupied by them,
who is fearless enough to put into public
print the truth-the brightest of all virtues
concerning their proceedings.

LIE LADIES BENEVOLENT SOCIETY FOR THE
SICK POOR OF COLUMBIA. The annual meet
ing OF this much needed charitable assooia-
tlon takes place on Monday next On the
occasion oil its members are earnestly in
vited to attend, and those who cannot do
so, it is hoped, will not fail in sending in
the small amount Of their annual subscrip-
! tion-(SD one dollar It is hoped the
society will receive many additions to its
list of membership. Impoverished as this
community has been and still is, surely there
are few who cannot spare one dollar a year
for the poor. Not for the nell poor-for the
poor who are able by daily work to earn at
least their daily bread, but for the sick
the dying poor-are the aims of this society
strictly appropriated. When well enough
to work, no matter how poor, they are no
longer recipients of its bounty, and there
can possibly exist no imposition in the be-
stowment of these aims; for the city divided
into wards, with visiting committees ap-
pointed for each, individual cases are thus
seen Into before relieved. For the means
at its disposal, no system of charity can
possibly do more unqualified good than
this; and plausible objections against other
public charities cannot, by any possibility,
be made to this, and no excuse for not Civ
ing, can he predicated of the character of
this unobtrusive but most efficient charity.
Our city pastors and physicians we'll know,
from the scenes of want and woe they are
compelled to witness, how much this "Good
Samaritan" society has accomplished in the
past for the relief of many ready to perish.
1t is the oldest benevolent society in the
city; we hope it will never die out, for not
only ''the poor we have always with u.s."
but the sick poor Any contributions from
gentlemen or ladies, not desiring to become
actual subscribers, will be thankfully re-
ceivcd by the Treasurer. We hope this ap-
peal will not be made in vain.

as being true, for I have followed the sea

FRUIT TR e ES.

Everything in its proper season Is golden
rule. And if you cannot plant, and should not
prune, trees at this season of the year,-two
or three important things should be done now.
Now, with deep, frozen snow about the trees,
is the very best time to get rid of that pest
the canker- worm; for three good reason-a
more leisure time, better light reflected from
the snow to see them in, and easier reached
on this snow elevation. If, near the ends of
limbs, you sec a greyish ring, looking like In
dia rubber, it is q canker-worm nest, having in
it many hundred eggs, each of which, under
incr easing warmth, will become one of those
vile worms. And the only remedy is to cut
them off i}0is, not forgetting to bu,n them. For
we have known people to remove and throw
them on the ground, where the eggs will grow
into the worm just as well as on the trees. A
few moments thus devoted to tree, may save
you many dollars. If on limbs beyond reach,
our method is this Tie some stout, cutting
shears to one end of pair of long, light sticks,
like bean poles; in this way the most distant
limbs OF the largest trees may be easily reach
ed. But most OF them may be reached by
se!f-supporting ladder, which every home needs
for variety OF purposes, and which is seldom
seen. Make common, light ladder-say 10
or u feet long let the upper rounds 60 through
and project three inches on each side of the
ladder; make two sticks like the sides Of the
Ia ider but lighter for convenience in carrying
bore hole in the upper end of the sticks,
which put on the projecting end Of the round
tastcn in place with leather washer and q nail;
keep under cover when not in use,-and you
have for life very simple, but very useful ar
tice Try it.
One other thing you can, and should, do to
fruit trees 01ry Examine the wax where they
have beeu grated, or where used for other
purposes Winters cold has so contracted the
WAX that it has either fallen off, or been SO
loosened as to be worthless, leaving the bare
wood, and the growing graft-split, to the fury
OF storm and sunshine, like an unheaed animal
wound, without protection. In both cases,
lose not moment in dressing up the wounds

in Washington, and that had taken neat
way of giving him hint, and he rushed
out and bought all the gold his credit would
cover.
''f1e wrote me an account of his transac-
tlons whose magnitude almost turned my
hair gray; and while he thanked me for my
hint he begged me to be sure that my infor-
nation was correct. | thought at first he
was crazy, and then [ became pretty near
crazy myself, thinking what might be the
consequences of the mistake. The first
thing | did-this was the next day, you
know-was to rush into Riggs, and ask the
latest gold prices.
"Guess my delight when l found them

that gold would fall quick as it could rise.
The feeling grew on me until, pretty nearly
half demented, | went into the telegraph
office at Wizards and dashed off
''It's all a sell, and big one.''
"Well, the old gentleman took that as he
had the other one, and not only sold out,
but went short to the full extent of his line.
1t was the luckiest thing in the world for
sure enough, within forty yeight hours things
did go down with a crash. [ began to feel
superstitious there was something uncanny
about it, and | packed my kit and made
fast for New York. ! did not attempt an
explanation, but steadily resisted all the old
gentleman IS entreatles to 60 on with it any
further. | even managed to persuade him
to close up his gold account and quit it, I
had Lucille to help me in that.
"The net figure was a very handsome
one ! tell you, and there was little trouble
about making the other arrang gements after
my bank account was made up. My honor
ed father-in-law had the blndest faith in
my judgment; but | told Lucille all about
it. What's more, l don't and won't specu-
late, and l wont do business for any firm
that does. It's all clear case of luck"
