The spirit OF Consultation.

The Abbeville Medium comes at Us
with considerable vim for having sup.
ported Carpenter for Governor in 1870,
and for having advocated Horace
Greeley for President in 1872. It gives
ns the opportunity to say word upon
subj cot which is not clearly under
stood. The editors in charge OF our
political columns in those days, Col.
Thomas, in the one instance, and W.
II. McCaw in the other, were men in
whom we end the country relied for
sagacity. honor and discretion. And
they we're right in taking the position
to which exception has been taken.
They and we did not regard the blots
in the character or the previous politi-
cal opinions or the bitterness even of
the men whom we supported, because
they then represented the policy and
spirit OF conciliation. We were not in
condition to reject the olive branch.
What else could we do in either case2
So fur as people of South Carolina
were concerned, neither the Govern.
orship nor the Presidency was politi-
cal canvass. The candidates alluded
to embodied simply the idea of con-
ciliation and harmony. Coming be.
fore us with this claim, it was just ae
natural and proper to sustain them
frankly, as 1t was to uphold Sumner.

The IMPROVEMENTS .--Thore are
eleven stores in process OF construc.
tion in this city now, and even with
these, the demand for business houses
will not be satisfied. Two men are

Flre-brand., Arrow. ana Death.

1u puOllsulnR Oltter ana abusive ar
ticles from the Northern press, bear
ing ignorantly but viciously upon the
question of race. the Union- Herald
maintains that its object is to show
what really is "the temper in the great
public sentiment of the North upon
our affairs" It disolaims any object
to stir up bad blood, but the direct
effect must be to irritate those who
cannot comprehend what right fellows
of the North or anywhere else have TO
discuss their affairs with such gross
ignorance and such shameful asperity.
Nobody cares particularly what they
think, especially when their thoughts
go 80 wide of the truth and of facts.
The Union Herald puts forth the doc
trine. that the "struggle between the
Republican aad Democratic parties in
the South is one essentially between
the two races" Is not that, practi-
cally, advice to the negroes to consider
every Democra. Or Conservative the
enemy Of his race? Then it gathers
mp the rakiugs and scraping. of the
newspaper sewers, and makes itself q
conduit to pour them upon our people.
The evident intention-or We won't
say that the effect of ,his-is to vex
those of the white race who arc thus
befonled, and to excite and e1hilarate
the other to carry out practically into
action the dirty, vile aud cruel thoughts
thus generated. Dees not that tend
to harm, to ill.fee!ing and bitterness
between the two? Since it started I:
candidate for Governor. it continually
talks OF the "troubled condition of
affairs in this State" Where is the
trouble? There is little in Barnw we'll,
where. at Blaokville and Bamberg, the
white people have to keep watch and
guard, and there was little at Ridge
Spring; there were exclusively negro
fuses at Georgetown and on James
Island. We fail to see any difficulties
likely to involve the peace and good
understanding of the two races. The
most dangerous symptom is the too
ready use OF threats, the too forward
advice of incendiary speakers to the
negroes to take vengeance in !hei rown
hands for imaginary evils. Another is
the unnecessary and unwise thrust
ing of this theme upon the atten-
tion of the negroes. They are made
to think that there is conspiracy on
hand to enslave them or work them
fatal injuries. That is what the u. H.
Is doing by it's parade of Northern sen.
timent, such as it is. and it's sugges.
tions thrown out to the blacks that
everything turns upon race.

the daughter of Mr.. Joseph W. Shook,
OF Sugar Valley, was ont gathering

when black snake ran up her clothes
and coiled itself twice around her

Water for Children.

1t is particularly with those who have
been accustomed to water drinking,
that it would show its good effects in
after life. During the first nine months
the infant is to be nourished by its
mothers milk, which serves as food
and drink it is gradually accustomed
to other sustenauce during the period
of weaving. After this is accomplished,
however, the infant should have fresh
water as we'll as milk.
By water drinking in childhood and
youth, the foundation of durable
stomach is laid, and thus a healthy
body throughout life. The nervous
and blood systems are over-e1cited by
spices, beer, wine, chocolate, coffee,
ETC., and thus constant artificial state
of fever is maintained, and the process
is 80 much accelerated by it, that chill
dren fed In this manner do not attain,
perhaps, half the age ordained by ma
ture. Besides this, experiences has
taught that they generally become pas
sionate and willful, having neither the
will nor the power to make themselves
or others happy.

The Trichine Hogs.

Mrs. Threnart, one Of the sufferers by
the trichine in Aurora, Ind, by which
half dozen persons nearly lost their
lives, had two pigs, which she was fat
tening in pen in her garden for her
own family use. During the summer
these pigs were allowed to run in the
streets Tor short time, after which
they were again kept in the pen. With
in few days after they were penned
up, one of them began to droop and re-
fused to eat the animal stood upon it's
legs us if unable or unwilling to move,
and when forced to move it appeared to
be very stiff and its muscles tense ;
breathing was somewhat difficult. With
the assistance of her son and neigh
Dor Mrs. Threnart administered repeat
ed doses of sulphur and milk, and after
three or four weeks the animal began to
eat freely and gained in flesh, and when
killed seemed to be healthy and in good
condition. The other hog, which was
in the same pen, remained perfectly
we'll, and careful examination of his
flesh did not reveal any traces OF
trichine. These facts are interesting,
as they show that hog may be fatten-
ed in the same pen and kept In close
contact with one diseased with trichine,
without contracting the disease. They
also show that hogs apparently healthy
may be swarming with trichip@, making
their meat poisonous. The flesh OF the
hog which poisoned the persons must
have contained thousands Of trichine to
every square inch.
There is nothing in the appearance OF
the flesh of the diseased hog which the
eye alone and unaided could detect, ex.
cept, perhaps, that the meat had rather
a lighter color, and some very minute
grayish specks were perceptible to the
eye. The fat parts looked healthy, and
had the proper consistence.

How Herrings Feed.

Herrings, as is well known, swim
about in immense shoals, miles i'll
length and breadth, coming to and
from particular stretches Of sea, In
what seems rather capricious manner.
There have been several theories re-
specting these migratory habits. One
thing appears to be certain they obey
the instinct which leads them to favor
ite spots for feeding, and also for
spawning. That instinct, however, is
universal in fish. They do not go where
there is deficiency in their appropri-
ate food. The Mediterranean, for ex.
ample, has no fsh worth speaking of,
except the sardine. The reason is,
that there being no recession OF tides,
and consequently no seaweeds to en-
courage the growth OF crustacea, as
food for fishes, the water contains com.
paratively little animal life. The food
of the herring is believed to consist
iehyof minute crustaceans and floating
infusoria, but small fishes are also de-.
voured. The quality of the herring is
very various, and is evidently depend
ent on the nature of the feeding
ground.

A Strange Case.

The Waite-W Waller polygamy case is
certainly the most singular that ever
that ever came before the courts Of
Maine. Mr.. Waller, Mrs. Holden, his
sister, Mr.. West, q brotner-in.law Of
Waller, and Waller's sister, Elizabeth,
identified Mrs. Waite positively as old
Walters wife. His daughter Carrie,
eleven years old, and son John, seven
years old, testified that she was their
mother. John q. Stiles, of Pictou, also
identified her, and several witnesses
swore to her identity, and photographs
of her children were produced and
proved to have been in her possession.
The indictment in the case charges that
Catharine Waller, alias Carrie M.
Kent, alias Carrie M. Waite, on the Goth
of May, 1862, married John Waller, at
Pictou, Nova Scotia, and on the Oath
of April, 1873, while her husband
Waller was still living. no divorce hav-
ing been granted to either party, and
no separation of seven years having
occurred, she was married in Portland
70 Edward F. Waite, feloniously, know
ingly and unlawfully committing the
crime of polygamy. The defendant is
about thirty years old, of slight figure
and attractive appearance. She denies
ever having seen Waller, who claims to
be her husband. Also ever having
known the five children who appeared
as witnesses. During the entire trial
Mrs. Waller. Waite has maintained the
most perfect composure. The evidence
is overwhelmingly against her, and il
she is guilty, her acting is wonderful.
Her last husband (Waite) still believes
her innocent.

A Horrible Scene.

The Sydney Empire publishes a mar
rative of q shocb ing occurrence which
recently took place at Newcastle, New
South Wales. Among other demonstra.
tions, it says, to celebrate the abolition
of the tonnage dues, there was bonfire
on Shepherds Hill. The firemen, eager
to make the affair as successful as pos
sible, poured kerosene oil upon the
burning heap, but for some time this
had simply the effect OF creating o
momentary blaze, which would subside
as soon as the kerosene was consumed.
Lewis Wood, member of the brigade,
then mounted the heap, took the can
IN his hands, and commenced pouring
the oil on the fire. He was warned by
some Of the danger herein, but took no
heed of what was said. Presently, an
awful explosion took place. A dull
sound, like the booming OF distant
cannon, was heard, and an immense
volume OF flames shot out among the
crowd. When the shock was over, the
unfortunate man Wood was seen rolling
down the burning heap in sheet of
fame. The oil had apparently splashed
over his clothes, and as he emerged
from the heap he was mass Of fire.
He struggled to his feet, and gained
the open space. his cries of despair be-
ing terrible. The flames had got such
a complete hold of his oil-saturated
uniform that the work of putting them
out was next to impossible, and he sank
to the ground exhausted. Some of the
firemen took off their coats, and tried
to beat the flames off, but they still
chung to their unhappy victim, and it
was not until he had been wrapped up
in several of the large coats of the fire.
men that the flames were subdued.
His heavy uniform had protected the
trunk of his body, and his helmet had
also prevented the flames from reach
ing his head, but his face presented an
awful sight to look at. He fingered, in
indescribable agony, till Sunday after.
