Of the lungs are SoHENoK's PuLaIoN1o

The Pulmonio Syrup ripens the NOR

cough will throw it OF, the patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to henl.

Death OF sanoho Cooper. ged Nearly
Hundred Year..

Hundred Years.
One of the few connecting links OF
the remote past and the present was
severed on Monday, April 6. by the
death OF Sancho Cooper. By many
cherished memories and associations
will the name OF this venerable man be
long venerated in Columbia. He was q
pillar OF the church from very young
man down to exceeding old age, where,
with a spirit vigorous as ever, yet from
physical exhaustion he resigned, with
tears and prayers and blessings, the
burden he had 80 long and faithfully
borne. into younger and stronger hands.
For very many years q cass-leader of
the colored membership of the old
Washington Street Church of Colnm
bia, (even that ono, the first OF any in
the place, built under the auspices of
the Rev. John Harper, in 1904 he gave
not up his connection with it and the
one succeeding it, till there was no
longer place for him, as for any member
of that church, burnt to the ground in
1860. Nearly by the tiuo ..ao i11esou /.
chapel had been erected, the colorcd
membership had succeeded in building
for themselves house of worship. aud
had effected Il separate org4niz .tion.
Yet Sancho's henrt was over in the
church OF his first love-his "denr old
Washington Street Church." as he
called it, and as from the door Of his
home he deserted tho spire of the new
ono, soon to be completed, hs prayed
Gods blessing upon it forever. The
Rav. William Martin, SO long connected
with the Washington Street Church us
pastor and missionary, he had engaged,
long years ago, to ''preach his funeral. :"
That sacred commission was performed
to large congregation, from the text
Matthew XIV, II. But the memory of
Sancho Cooper, whose name wus as a
household word tn the old students of
the South Carolina College, has also a
reflected classical association as BODY
servant to the distinguished President
of the College, Dr.. Thomas Cooper,
who. at his death, as reward for San.
cao's faithful services. left him his
freedom, together with an annuity.
Sancho firmly believed DR.. Cooper's
early religious training, (for his pareuts
were devOut Methotlists,) bore fruits in
his last days, and on his death bed, in
proof of which, he attested many facts
lie fully expected TO meet his old mas
ter, where no mists or shadows obscure
the vision of
''Things unknown TO mortal sense,
Unseen by reasons glimmerins ray"
Not many more faithful Christians
than Sancho Cooper will ever hear from
their Lord aud Muster, "Weil doue!"

A Sea Devil.

The Brighton Aquarium is the pres
ent home of ~ sca devil caught near
Hastings. This monster fish is Of a
d,lsky brown color, tadpolc shaped,
that is, all head and shoulders. It is
about five feet III length, and some
three feet across the fappers. The
mouth ut once arrests attention. It
stretches LITERAL wright across the crca-
lures face, aud when closed us much
us it can he, resninetcen inches.
At the edge Of each jaw arc two or three
rows of teeth, hard, strong, and point
cd, set like the prongs Of rat-trap.
those Of the lower jaw directed ohlique-
]y inward AMI once iutcrlockcd upon
prey, escape would bc hopeless. It is,
however, when open, that the enormous
capacity of the fish's mouth is apparent.
If the fish chose to strain Il point, a
Observation-Disclosures cask might. be got
into it. At all events, it is circular
shaped, over y foot in diameter, and
little less than two feet deep. The fish
is very rapacious ; and had not nature
endowed it with a special continuance
for procuring food, itwould fare badly,
being but Il slow swimmer. TO this
contrivancc it owes its name, the
"Anglcr' fish. On the top of the head,
between the eyes and mouth, are two
tcn'lrils, each about q foot in length,
one having ut it's end Il tlcshy substance
which serves as i, halt. When angling
for meal the Devil Fish covers itself
partly beneath the sand or weeds,
hoists these tenlrils and bi,lcs his time.

A New Needle.

A lady in San Francisco, the Chroni-
Gle Of that city says, has invented new
needle, the Improvement consisting in
making IL needle of any size without an
eye for the thread, but with, instead,
!. hole bored longitudinally into the
head or larger end thereof to the depth
OF quarter of IN inch or tlcrcal,outs.
which hole is arranged with IL screw
thread. The needle, it is claimcd, will
carry any kind of thread, and can he
used for every purpose. It is thought
it will bc valuable, also, as II surgical
needle, as it will require but one thread.
the advantage Of which will he that a
smaller hole will be made in passing !,
needle through any substance than
would have to he made by the partially
doubled thread of the ordinary eyed
needle.
