TURNING CHARITY TO AoooUNT.-One
very severe winter, when distress was
terribly prevalent, soup-kitchen was
opened in a destitute neighborhood,
the lady patronesses themselves, for the
sake of economy, taking it in turn
to superintend the supply OF the
soup. The faces of the applicants
became in time so familiar to their
benefactresses that one day, when q
little girl who was in the habit of taking
only one plate asked for three, the lady
in charge said, "Three penny plates
to-day, my dear? How is that?" " Z
you please, ma'am," replied the child,
with suspicion of pride in her tone
"we have some friends coming to din

A LUsUs NATURE.-A singular natu-
raj curiosity is found OF Sadawga Pond,
in Nottingham, VT, consisting of 100
acres of land floating on the surface of the
water, covered with cranberries, and even
sustaining trees fifteen feet high. When
the water is raised or lowered at the
dam of the pond, the island rises and
falls with it, and fish are caught by
boring hole in the crust and fishing
down, as through the ice in the winter.
A similar island once existed in small
lake near Bangor, Me-, and there are
many such in Southern Florida.

Means What He Saws,

Though combinations strong as proofs OF
Holy Writ and as numerous as the sands on
the sea shore, were produced to prove tha. the
proprietor Of DR.. Sage's CataTrh Remedy is in
earnest, and means what he says, when he
offers $500 reward for any case of Catsrrh
which he cannot cure, yet there would lie some
skeptics and fogies who would continue TO
shout 90 Himbug p "HUMBUG !" at cannot
be, because DR.. Homespun says Catarrh cannot
be cured" Now, this DR.. Homespun is the
identical, goOd-natured old fellow who honestly
believes and persists in declaring that this
earth is not round or spherical but as fiat as a
"slap-iack," and does not turn over, otherwise
, the water would all be spilled out of Deacon
Bascom's mill pond. But astronomical science
has positively demonstrated and proven that
DR.. Homespun is wrong in supposing the earth
to be fiat and stationary, and medical science
is daily proving the fact that he is no less mis-
taken and behind the times in regard to the
durability Of Catarrh. In short, it has been
positively proven that this world moues, aud
that medical science is progressiUe-the opinion
of DIR. Homespun to the contrary notwith-
standing. That DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
will cure Catarrh, thousands who have used it
attest.
Then buy it, and use it, in doubt do not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all over the land

Clary complains bitterly that they ransacked

seems on his furniture. and carried of his

in such careless way as to brighten the
whole family. In order to apply impair

visited the chamber of the colored girl and
also overturned her bsd clothes in their
dilligent search for the missing Mr.. Clary.
1t must have been great larks for
the soldiers, but was rather unpleasant for
the women. All this Mrs. Sue Sledge, who
was present on the occasion, corroborates.
and alleges in addition, that the soldiers
visited the upper part of the house, where
cotton was stored, searching around with
lights, and disregarding the interests of the
insurance companies in the most painful
manner. This playful little episode under
the management of Landaulet Williams
the chief Of the department of justice, took
place between one and two o'clock in the
night. 1t is to be hoped that these are not
fair specimens of the style in which the en-
forcement act is carried out.

disastrous especially to women, grow out of
the condition pointed out by these facts. In
the first place, the whole country is trem-
bling on the brink of bankruptcy. Could a
strict economy be enforced, not invading
comfort or even beauty of dress, instant relief
would be brought to general financial strin-
gency But worse than financial damage
comes of woman's extravagant ways. An eff
fectual embargo is placed upon marriage and
a ruinous drawback on the creation of homes
and the virtues of proper domesticity. The
young man of the city can not marry
without extreme danger of bumili-
iation and distress. Hence the opposite
tendency to ruinous vices and demoraliza-
ton. In fact the prevailing sentiment on
the subject of marriage is already
thoroughly demoralized. 1t costs too much
to live in the city. Reform must come
and will come. If in no other way, it will
be through the terrible ordeal Of failures
and enforced bankruptcy when poverty has
to be confessed to its consequences openly
assumed. There are two methods by
which safety, prosperity and happiness can
be restored. They are work and retrench-
ment of expenses. Say what we will. be-
fore these troubles are over, these two
methods will have to be adopted. Tho gar
ment will have to be cut with regard to

Shaken, even in view OF the awful condition
OF southern society. II is willing to believe
that If pernicious federal influence
We're removed, the south would right itself
without the restriction of single privilege.
So its faith in the self government
OF the North holds steadfast. Like
the sea which receives the waters of
many rivers and the refuse Of many harbors,
and yet remains pure and clear, so the great
tide of American nationality will take in
and assimilate the most homogeneous ele-
ments, and at the same time preserve it,

A special to the Sentinel Friday gave
a full account OF the strange murder at
Anderson. This morning we give complete
details OF everything connected with the
crime and those suspected of completely in it,
It would seem that the Mowson family is
ore that stands in very bad repute in the
the neigbborhood, and the old woman &C
cused OF the present crime, has, according
to her own confession, been guilty
OF participation in the death of
her daughters child, which was thrown into
s field and died from exposure. And yet it
is hard to believe that she took any part in
the murder of her unfortunate son. From
the evidence it appears that ne was her pet.
She INDUCED him in the use of money, made
allowances for his caprices and finally decided
him hcr property. No hing save jealousy
al the prospect of his counting girl of the
neighcorhood could influence her against
him. The sentiment of the people of Ander-
son, which is by no means lenient toward
her, appears to acquit her of the crime.
The common explanation is that the
elder brother was the murderer, and that
the mother only discovered the crime after
it was committed. The horrible alternative
was then offered her of hiding the killing of
one son, or exposing the guilt of the other.
1t is difficult to conceive a more tragic sit
uation, and few readers will hesitate to
pronounce her course-if this explanation
De accepted-a natural one under the cir
cumstances. The only thing left
fer her to do, was to aid
in saving her remaining son from
the gallows. Her curious conduct in regard
TO the boys absence, and her endeavors TO
throw suspicion on Lane indicate that she
was burdened with the secret Of the murder.
The story of the crime recalls series OF hor-
rors. and the readers fond of such things
may sup full of them.
