The Burning Of Mr. Shirer's House.

We deeply sympatkize with our
townsman, Mr.. G. S. Shirer, il the
loss of his fine dwelling by fire. With
n great deal of labor and taste, and
large outlay Of funds, Mr.. Shirer had
succeeded in erecting near completion
structure unsurpassed for comfort
and convenience, and anticipated in
couple Of weeks Of moving his fami
ly into it. We arc glad to know that
by provilcntial act of insurance he
will not meet with an cntire loss Of
his outlay. But there is nothing :I.at
can pay him for the inconvenience
and discomfort which the loss of hi,
dwelling ncccssitotcs. The fire was,
without doubt, the act of ON inccn-
diary. Mr.. S. informs us thht he is
at perfect loss as to Who is tlh perpc-
traitor Of this hcinous deed, as he don't
think he has All enemy in the world.
There arc many vagabonds atrolling
about here who ought to be taken up
and their business ascertain@, and

what their business may be promptly.

these old claims arc held now by n
few, who have bought them. up for
about fifty, cents on the dollar, and

RnillOrs Of War.

Rumors of war In Europe have
been coming across the Atlantic with
more than usual frequency during the
past two weeks. First came the
troubles pbctwccn Germany and Bel
GUM; and scarcely. had the alarn.
thus occasioncd, subsidized, when the
visit Of the Gar to Berlin seemed to
afford fresh cause for apprehension.
Matters which under other circual-
stances could scarcely have attracted
public interest n, all, are now twisted
by the fertile brains Of newspaper
correspondents and tho nervous excite
n3ont of public opinion, into the most
certain prosnostics Of wars and desola.
tions. There can be little doubt, in.
t.eed, that sooner or later, war will
take place between the twtI great
military powers Of Europe; that there
will 1bo III desperate contest, rs to
whether France or Germany is to be
the ~dcspot of.the continent. : AT tic
same time it should be remembered,
that the other great nations are de-
tcrmincd, for the present, at least, to
prevent the outbreak and stavc off so
great calamity. While this spirits
i'll the ascendant it is the utmost folly,
rs well as inconsistent with moral
rectitude, to dish up sensations out of
every word, or action Of Bismarck,
and to interpret the vague threats Of
talkntive Frcnchmcn, as the fiery
breath Of revenge that only bloc, ,.an
quench.

FooD FOR LEAN WoMES.-If any

though nowadays we see a great many

and lank ones who sigh for the fashion

would be vastly improved in health
and appearance could their figure be
rounded with good solid flesh. Moth.
ing is more coveted by thin women
than full figure, and nothing else
will SO rouse the ire and provoke the
scandal Of one of the "clippcr-builds"
as the consciousness of plulnpncss in n

complaint milk is now given with ex-
cellcnt results. This idea that milk is
"fevcrish" has exploded, and it is now

milk pitchers OIL the table each meal
and you will also have sound flesh
and light doctors bills.

THE BUSINESS or THE w oRLp.-It
is poor consolation in advcrsity to
know that we are not alcne in our
misery, such rs it is, however, our
iron manufacturers may take it to
themselves. The depression Of the
iron trade is general throughout the
world. The production of pig-iron in
Scotland was less in 1874 than in any
of the last twenty years. At one time
there we're only thirty-two furnaces
blowing. out of 1872 erected, and the
production, 100000 tons less than in
1870. Russia, Notwithstanding its
activity in railroad building; imported
only 1921 900 pounds of rails, against
7,119,00O in 1873. In Prussia the
large steel works of Krupp has dis
charged some thousand workmcn, and

tractor is able and willing to do, and
the work will be pushed forward as ra-
pidly rs possible. 1t behoovcs our good
citizens to aid Mr. Livingston in every
way they can in its construction and
early completion, rs it will not only
be want filled long desired, but an
ornament to our town aud add one
hundred per cent to the value of the
property i'll its ncighborhood. A
word in regard to its front wc don't
think will be amiss right here. We
learn some of our citizens want it to
front west. We think, with ali due
Difference be it said, TINT this shows a
want of taste. The old Court House
fronted that way, but why? At that
time, the Town proper was west of
the Court House Square, and the
building was constructed OH its -cas-
ten suburbs. Now, what was then
the outskirts Of the town has become
the town proper, and is rapidly grow
ins, and going West. Then, again IL
south front, is always desirable in
the construction Of any building. 10
front the Court House south, it will
front direct on Russell Street proper,
and face the fine brick c,lilicc Of the
Orangcburg Baptist church.
We hope those who have the sue
ccssfnl say-so in the matter, will agree
with us, and front the new building
south.
