A CHARLESTON PARALLEL TO THE BEND
Err BUrCHERIEs-The recent revelations in
regard to the atrocious murders committed
by the Bender family, in Kansas, will proba-
bly recall to the minds of some of the older
citizens of Charleston similar series of mur-
ders that occurred near this city, more than
half century ago. In that day, travellers
did not enjoy the facilities Of railroad trans
portation, and in consequence there were many
little wayside inns scattered along the public
highways, some adjacent to the cities, and
others more remote. Such an inn was kept
few miles from Charleston. Being near the
city, it was quite common for travellers, going
or returning, to stop for rest and refreshments.
1t was kept by two people, a man and his
wife, who were accounted to be honest and
withal, very prosperous persons. Theirhostel-
ry was convenient to the travelling public,
and therefore popular. Occasionally, trav-
eler would suddenly disappear in very mys.
terious and unaccountable manner; but no
suspicion attached to the hospitable inn-keep-

DEATH OF A COMPANION OF AARON BURR.
An elderly man named Robert Pagan, who
claimed to have been connected with the
Burr.B .Blannerhasset expedition to establish
Western empire, died in Natchez, Miss, last
week. He was more than 100 years old, and
was in the possession of all his faculties, and
followed his occupation of carpenter until
comparatively recent period; when he fell,
receiving an injury about the head, from the
effects Of which he began gradually to sink.
When an offer was made to send for a physi-
clan, he replied that it was no use, "that the
machinery was worn out" and that he was
about to die. Ripe with years, he died peace
fully and without a struggle.

WHY Coal OIL LAMPS ExpLoDE.-A cor.
respondent at Port Penn, DEL, moved thereto
by the terrible accident in New Castle Hun
dred, on Monday night, sends US the following
suggestions in regard to the explosion Of coal
oil lamps. He says:
: When lampsare filled they cannot explode !;
but when partially filled, if not screwed tight,
the space inside the lamp over the oil is filled
with WHAT'S called "fre-damp" in coal-mines,
viz: air and vapor of coal-oil or its gas.
1t is very remarkable that accidents with
the best coal oil do not more frequently oc'
cur, especially when the fame is blown down
the chimney in extinguishing lamp which
has been burning all highland particularly
if during the evening it burned freely and
created vacuum or spaceabove the oil, which
was heated and subsequently cooled during
the night when the lamp was turned down
and left to burn with very small fame. 1t
is manifest that the higher priced oil is more
apt to explode under these circumstances.
The burner should be screwed down perfect
" tight and the wick should fill the tube ;
moreover, be trimmed every day, and lowered
before the lamp is blown out. Anthracite
coal stoves will explode, or any other fuel,
upon throwing sand or dust on top Of a fire
when freely burning, so that the gas or pro-
duct of combustion be forced into the ash.pit.
Every one is familiar with the illustration in
what are called "air-tight stoves" and no anx.
iety is necessary in using these or coal'oil
lamps, if we recognize the cause of accident,
and do not depend on false security in the
use of what are vulgarly called non-explosive
nils

A WORTHY EXAMPLE.

The Richmond correspondent of the Peters,
burg Appeal furnishes the following: "More
than two years ago, young gentleman OF
this city, son of well-known banker, grad
uated with distinction at the University of
Virginia, and came home preparatory to en-
tering upon his profession of civil engineer.
While here he determined, in order the better
to fit himself for practical professional life, to
serve an apprenticeship in machine shop.
Accordingly, his father paid five hundred dol
lars to firm of Baltimore machinists for the
privilege of entering him in the large estab-
lshment over which they presided, with the
understanding that he was to be treated as
other workmen, except that in consideration
ofhis theoretical attainment his apprenticeship
should be only two years in duration, and that
as soon as he deemed himself proficient in the
details of one department. he should be allow
ed to go into another. The young man went
to Baltimore, entered the shops, and with an
energy and decision Of character as commen.
dable as uncommon, has now nearly served
out his term. He entered as helper at an an
vii in blacksmith's shop, and having passed
through all the various departments Of a man.
moth iron working establishment, is now at
the head of the draughtsmen, having worked
his way up by merit alone. In such high es-
TEEN are his services held by his employers,
that so far from charging him for his oppor-
tunities for the acquisition of information
which their works afford, they now offer him
salary of three thousand dollars year to
remain with them in position, the duties of
which are not only light and agreeable, but in
perfect accord with his tastes. He will de-
cline, however, for the present, and will take
a vacation this summer for the purpose Of in
specting objects of interest to his profession
that may be found in Northern shops and
foundres. do not know that it will be
agreeable to him or his relatives for these facts
to be published, but I shall not consult them,
for the example is one which ought to be held
up to young men who need encouragement in
their search. for success in life. The name of
the young gentleman is John Dove 1saacs.
He is the eldest son of VIM. B. Isaacs, Esq,
of Richmond, and the name.sake and grand
son of DR.. Jno. Dove, the eminent Mason"

WHAT Work WILL DOL have heard
great deal said about hard times, and the
bottom rail getting on top, and have been
bothered to know what it all means. think
I have struck it, however. The wool-hat
BOYS and others who went to work after the
surrender, are the parties that are getting on
top and solving the vexed problem. They
are the ones that are getting the greenbacks,
and greenbacks constitute the lever that turns
the wheel of fortune I give one example:
Three sons of T. J. H., of Worth county,
last year, with two mules, raised twenty bales
of cotton, seven hundred bushels Of corn, be-
sides oats and potatoes in abundance.
They paid out fifty dollars for labor in chop
ping out and picking, and after settling all ex-
penses, including bagging, ties, bacon, etc.,
they netted over twelve hundred dollars, and
are ready to begin another years labors.
This is but one of the many similar exam
pies in Worth and Dooly, that have fallen
under my immediate observation this last
season, and it puts me in mind Of old times,
when boys had to work. I wish l had
daughter to give to one of these young men
when he gets old enough to marry.
The industrious, working, faithful boys OF
this country are going to get on top, and no
mistake. Labor and energy will place them
there in spite of destiny. They will own the
lands now growing up in sedge, and cultivate
them, too, for it is a fact that where the white
people are working and attending to their
business the freedmen work we'll also; and
such planters are making money.-Cor. A.

n@ A matron gives the following advice to
girls: Girls talk and laugh about marriage
as though it were jubilee, a gladstone thing,
a rose without thorn. And so it is, if it is
all right; if they go about it as rational beings,
instead of fmerry.making children. 1t is Sc
rious thing to marry. It is life business,
and that Of heart and happiness Therefore,
never do it in haste; never run away to get
married meyer "steal MARRIAGE" never
marry for wealth, or standing, or fine person,
or manners, but only for character, for worth,
for the qualities of mind and heart which
make an honorable man. Take time, think
long and we'll before you accept any proposal
consult your parents, then some judicious
friend, then your own judgment. Learn all
that it is possible for you to learn ofyour pro-
posed husband when all doubts have been
removed, and not till then, accept him.

THE JAIL CURE.

Halls Journal of Health contains the fol-
lowing remarks relative to dyspepsia and
other difficulties, which will be interesting to
all concerned:
It ought not to be an unusual fact that per-
sons who are sent to Jail, very uniformly come
out at the end of few months sleek and fat;
so much so that often their best friends scarce
ly recognize them.
IF any man wants to be broken of liquor
drinking or smoking cigars, he has only to
have himself sent to the penitentiary. The
celebrated individual in Wall street few
years ago, who "made paper" with such an
unstinted hand, that is, forged names on notes
and collected the money on them, was proven
on the trial never to have been seen without
cigar in his mouth never to have been seen
without complaining of headache, and had
physician in daily attendance, who was
more successful in getting pay than in curing
the "paper" maker he diagnosed and prog
nosed the state of the mans pocket better
than the state of his constitution, for on being
asked by the court why he collected $500
quarter in advance for infnitesimal pellets he
very gravely replied, he saw what would be
the end Of it, and that he had better secure
himself while he could. This same "paper
man" was sent to the penitentiary for four
years; he fed on prison fare, plain and at reg.
ular times; never was allowed so much as a
single puff; attended most assiduously to his
duties as book-keeper; gained fifteen pounds
of flesh in less than three months; served out
his time; left the prison in robust health,
went over to Jersey, and is said to be one Of
the most efficient Sunday school superinten-
dents in all the "region round about" :.
Penitentiary board will cure any curable
case of ofdyspepsia for it involves two essential
things which are most potent remedies-plain
food at five hours interval, nothing between,
and steady muscular exercise. The remedy
will be as efficient out of a penitentiary as in
it, but one man in million will try it of his
own accord. Plain food, taken at regular in:
tervals, accompanied with moderate physical
exercise, will cure any case of dyspepsia which
can be cured at all no medicine ever has or
ever can cure that malady; nothing can cure
it but rested stomach and nourishing food.
