MILITARY Service Among Ants.

| A gentlemen of this city, says the
Louisville Cotrier-Journal, one
morning recently, while walking in
his garden, observed two columns of
ants crossing the path in opposite
directions. Upon noticing the curl
Gus movements closely, he saw that
those going in one direction carried
the bodies of ants which he supposed
to be dead, while those going the
other way seemed to have deposited
their burdens, and were returning
to get new loads. It was the first
impression that the ants were en-
gagged in stocking new cemetery
with their illustrious dead In
order to Aote what effect % disturb
ance of their line would create, he
dropped little sand upon the
column. Instantly the apparently
inanimate ants sprang to the ground
and became vigorously alive, whilo
the carriers retreated in pusillani-
nous fashion. AS more grains were
dropped the ants became very pug
nacious, rearing up and attacking
each grain flriously. From this
singular conduct the gentleman con-
cluded that the ants were tho fight
ing members Of tho tribe, IT, sort OF
mounted infantry that was being
transported across tho country to
guard some new frontier settlement,
and that, as soon as the grains be-
gan to fall upon the column, tho
ants, thinking enemies had opened
fire from their catapults, allowed the
warriors to dismount and pitch into
action, while the carriers beat re-
treat out of danger. In view of the
circumstances, such conclusion
seemed warranted. At any rate,
antliind has been regarded since
Solomon's time as exceedingly clever
III all matters of domestic and social
economy, and there is no telling to
what degree of intelligence it has at
tanned i'll the progressive age Who
knows but what we daily tread un-
der our feet ant republics and insect
empi1 es, among which civil wars are
progressing that nccessitate the
maintenance of standing armies at
the public expense.

And such docs Robertson, of the
Rock Hill IS. c. Grange aspire to
be. He owns fine dogs and fine guns
and counts himself crack shot.

the truth, the birds do not look

it is stated to MS as u fact that n few

Of the house, as much as to say,
"who's afraid?" This is what we

ALLENDALE, s. c., November c.
Yesterday afternoon, on the $3.50 up
train for Augusta, there came to
this place two rowdy, suspicious,
looking characters, named Hutto and
Acock. ....
They were considerably intoxi-
Gated and worry soon began to, con-
duct themselves in riotous and
disorderly manner. One of thom-.
Hutto-introduced himself into ono
of the stores and grossly insulted
the owner and hie clerks, threaten
ing their lives if they attempted any
injuries TO him. Some of the NOM
bcrs of tho Town Council, and tho
Marshal, coming to the store about
that time, ordered his arrest, when
he humbled himself to his knees and
begged pardon if he had violated
any law. Ho thence went to n
neighboling bar room, followed by
tho Marshal to prevent the oxecu-
ton of his threats OH innocent and
peaceable citizens. Finding tho
Marshall Watching his movements
he drew his pistol and deliberately
shot him, without cause or provo
cation. The Marshal was colored
man named Edward Gilmore. 1t
was not thought at tho time that he
was seriously hurt. When it was
known, however, that the Marshtll
was shot q number of indignant citi
zens undertook to capture the muir
derer. He fed at their approach
occasionally stopping and denounct
ing and defying them. It would
have been an easy matter to have
killed him, but none caring to take
his life and finding him determined
not to be taken alive he kept them
at bay until night came on, when no
made good his escape. He was
seen on tho outskirts of tho town
this morning still, defiant, and it is
said has during the day made his
way to Bronson. Edward Elmore,
greatly to the regret of the entire
community, died of his wound to
day, about 3 o'clock, p. m. Acock,
the companion of Hutto, was lodged
in the guard house last night, but
WAS released this morning upon rep
RESERVATIONS by respectable parties
to his good character and usually
peaceable disposition. Hutto, we
now learn, is we'll known below here
as a desperate and recl1lss character.
Elmore's is not the first blood on his
hands. The Sheriff of Beaufort,
with several United States soldiers
passed up on the train to day in
search of Hutto and will go down
ward tonight. T. w. BAUM,

How Truff;eS Did r..

l returned to AshYille aftor an ab
sence Of three years and found Truf-
fles grown fat and jovial, with face
the very mirror of peace and self
satisfaction. Truffles was the village
baker, and he was not like this when
Iwent away.
"Trutlles," said I, show is it? You
have improved"
"Improved How ?"
"Why, in every way. What have
You been doing :"
just then little Gil CO me in with q
shattered shawl and bal efooted, to
whom Trullles gave loaf of bread.
On, dear, Mr.. Trut1lcs," the child
said, with brimming eyes, as she took
the loaf of bread "mamma is get
ting better, and she says she owes
so much to you. She blesscs you,
indeed she does"
"That's one of the things I've been
doing" he said, after the child had
gone.
you are giving the suffering fami-
ly bread" 1 queried."
"Yes."
"Have you any more cases like
that q
eyes, three or four of them. I
give them loaf u day, enough to
feed them"
and you take no pay?"
"Not from them .... Sc.
"Ah from the town 2"
"No here" said Trufflos, laying
his hand on his breast. I'll tell
YOU" he added, smiling. "Onc day,
over year ago, poor women came
to me and asked for loaf of bread,
for which she could not pay-shc
wanted it for her poor, suffering
children. At first I hesitatcd, but
finally I gave it to her, and as her
blessings rang in my cars after she
had gone, I felt my heart grow warm.
Times were hard, and there was a
good deal of suffering, and I found
myself wishing, by-md-by, that I
could afford to give away more
bread. At length an idea struck mo.
I'd stop drinking and give that
amount away in bread, adding one
or two loaves on my own &C
count. I did it, and it's
been q blessing to nc. My heart
has grown bigger, and I've grown
better i'll every way. My sleep is
sound and sweet, and my dreams are
pleasant. And that's what you see,
suppose"

MORTALITY AMONG EEIEpHANTs.-
We learn from the Raugoon B.rmah
Mail Of large mortality among ele-
plants in that district and q more
serious loss of the same kind has
been experienced by the Moulmein
foresters on the Thoungyeen side.
Tho Mail states the value of each
elephant is from 800 rupees to 1900
rupees. ($400 to $750) and that the
loss to their people in the aggregate
is very considerable greatly enhanc
ing the price Of these useful animals,
and increasing the difficulty and cost

H0r .cS Suffer from Bad Roads

We are all grumbling about our
ronds and our surveyors. Tho roads
arc miserable, and our system Of
making and repairing them is miscra
bio but we do not realize how
much we are losing by continuing
to use them i'll their present condi~
ton. The annual expense for Wear
and tear Of horses, carriages and
harness is enormous, but the loss
from carrying only half the loads we
might on smooth, hard and level
roads is very much greater. Sup
posinga horse can pull OH q level
road 1000 pounds, on road rising
one foot to tie hundred he could
pull but 800 pounds. If it rises two
feet in a hundred $40 pounds, two
and a half fcot 72O pounds, four feet
$40 pounds, five feet 400 pounds, and
if the rise were ten feet in q hundred
he could pull but $50 pounds, or
only one quarter the load he could
draw on a level road. Then, again
the condition of Il road, whether
hard and smooth, or soft and uneven
has much to do with the amount Il
team can draw over it. Experiments
made by NORM show that load of
5000 pounds will require n tractive
force of 1000 pounds to move it
over firm, gravel road, newly re
paired. On best kind of gravel road
315 pounds. On broken stone road
in good condition 1861 pounds on
a good pa, cment 1881 pounds. Ac-
cordmg to the above calculations, in
tho first case it would take eight hoi
ses to do tho work which once puld do
in the latter case. SO if both roads
were level, and we have 200 bushels
of potatoes to carry to market, we
could draw them on tho best paved
road with ono horse, while on the
new repaired gravel rond we should
need eight horses, and if tho riso
were ton feet in n hundred we should
require thirty-two horses to draw
the same load-Neao Eru Fdvmer.
