The following sentence from recent
speech OF Senator Anthony, Of Rhode Is-
land, can hardly sound less than wonderful
to the landless millions of Europe. The
Senator Sen said, and no doubt correctly, that:
There is no part of the country where a
days labor that any man, with stout arms
ana a Wiling heart, however little he may
be skilled, may perform, cannot earn the
price of an acre OF good land, at the Govern
ment sales.'

Four PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH.
shocking accident took place in st. Paul's
Parish, near New Road Station, on the Sa-
vannah and Charleston Railroad, on the
night of the 18th instant, by which colored
man, his wife, his wife's sister, and baby
fourteen months old, met horrible death.
Nothing was known to be wrong until the
morning OF the 18th, when some persons
who lived in the neighborhood were
passing by and found that the house of the
deceased had been burned. Upon exam
lining the ruins they found the remains OF
the whole family so charred and disfigured
as to be unrecognizable. 1t tis supposed that
the fire broke out in the night, and that the
smoke suffocated the unfortunate people
while they were sleeping. A coroner's in
quest was held by James W. Grau, Magis-
trate Of Colleton County, and q verdict re-
turned of accidental death.
