over the defeat Of Trenholm's coal,-

their defeat on the ground that it was
"inexpedient to adopt any platforms"
but the fact is, the convention did en-
tertain the resolutions and proceeded
to vote on them seriatins, and the ma

were tabled, and this tables the policy

Monday Last.
REVIEW OF TWO OF OUR FIRE
COMPANIES.

-
OIL Monday last the streets of Orange
burg were busy with life and cheerful
faces, especially among the Fircmcn.
The afternoon Of that day was set
apart for review by the Mayor and
the Board of Fire Masters Of the
Engines received the day before by
the Independent Citizens and Comet
Star Fire Companies. The Engines
were richly decorated, and pl escntcd
very handsome appearance. Both
companies are composed Of the lest
and most substantial Of our colorcd
fcllow-citizcns, and were spoken Of
very flattcringly by every one who
saw them on parade.
A little after o'clock in the after
noon the two companies formed into
line OH Market street and were re.
viewed by Mayor Bvliver and the
Board Of Fire Masters. After the re-
vicw-which was highly satisfactory
The Mayor was introduced and
gave the Fircmcn there assembled
some good advice. He told them
that they should obey their officers on
every occasion. Thot should be their
highest duty, and with such resolu-
ton Oh their part match could not
catch in Orangeburg that they could
not put out. He was proud to see the
good feeling which existed between
the white and colored Firemen. II
the same sentiment could find ex.
preston everywhere, we would all be
the better off for it. Mr.. Boliver
pledged himself to do everything that
he possibly could for the futherance
Of The interests ST the Fire Depart
mcnt, ard closed by bidding them a
good afternoon.
Mr.. Riggs was next introduced.
On. account Of peculiar circumstances
he hnd not been able to attend the
meetings of the fire companies, but lie
fclt'vcry proud to meet the Indepen-
dent Citizens and Comet Fire Com
panics under such favorable auspices.
Was an old fireman and understood
its duties. Let cach company en-
dcavor to emulate the other, and both
would become efficient Mt fires.
Would have new hose for them short
ly and would always tnkc pleasure in
doing his utmost to keep the two COM
panies up.
DIR. Elliott followed and was lis.
tened to with marked attention. He
warned the companies aguinst all
wrangling, and told them that the
first duty of firelncn was obedience to
officers. Where there was confusion
there was no obedience, and consc-
qucntly no efficiency on the part of
those who encouraged it. If the COM
panics kept this in mind they would
prove great bcicGt to the town.
Capt. Jas. Z. Izlar spoke next.
Confessed that lie was not only pleased
bnt satisfied with the exhibition be.
fore him, and was gratified that the
Citizens and Comet Fire Engine Com
panics were not composed Of few
persons, but were made up of a num-
Der Of strong and stalwart men

The Difference.

There was man who said to himself,
whenever I devotea dollar to pleasure
I will devote ten cents to charity. This
idea he got from personal experience,
for he had been chosen for single day
collector for contributions to celebrate
an anniversary, and also collector for a
fund for poor widows. he went forth
with the two appeals; in the right
pocket he putthe money secured for the
celebrationand in the left the money
given for widows. When he got home,
he took account, and found that five
hundred men had con tributed for the
celebration, and only five for the poor
widows. Then he moralized. Now
here, said he, in this hand I have two
Thousand dollars, alto be burned up in
bad smelling fireworks, and with this
five times as much value in buildings
that these fireworks will destroy. On
the other hand, I have twenty dollars
for Thousand of hard working widows,
who to-day cannot be sure of their din:
ners, and then this reckless man saidl
loud enough for all the world to hear =
Go to the average citizen with an appea,
tor a starving fellow creature, and you
may get penny and you may not but
show him that you can waste thousand
dollars In five minutes in noise and
smoke, and he will Immediately give
you his check for the thousand and
thank you for calling. If Hail Colum-
bia were poor widow, she might starve
unless she could eat frecrackers.

A Smart Boy.

A traveller stopped at Brussels in a
post chaise, and being sharpset he was
anxious to buy piece of cherry pie be-
fore his vehicle should set out but he
was afraid to leave the public convey
ance lest it might drive off and leave
him. So calling lad to him from the
other side of the street, he gave him a
piece of money and requested him to 60
to q restaurant in the near vicinity and
purchase pastry and then to make as
surance doubly sure, he gave him anoth-
er piece of money and told him to buy
some for himself at the same time. The
lad went off on run, and in little
while came back, eating piece Of pie,
and looking very complacent and happy.
Walking up to the window of the chaise,
he said, with the most perfect noncha-
lance, returning at the same time one of
the pieces of money which the gentle
man had given him:
"The restaurant had only one piece of
pie, left, md that I bought with, my
money that you gave me"

in the forenoon of the 25th, having
marched continuously all the previous
day and night. Seeing the upper OF
southern extremity of the village, and
probably Understanding its extent, he
ordered Reno to ford the river and
charge the village with three companies,
while he, with five companies, moved
down the right bank and behind the
bluff, to make similar attack at the
ys..c12 end. Reno made his charge, but
finding that he was dealing with force
many times his own numbers, dis
mounted his men, and sought shelter in
the timer which fringed the river bank.
The position appearing TO him un'
tensble, he remounted and cut his way
to the river, forded under murderous
fire, and gained the bluff where he was
subsequently found. Here he was after.
ward joined by Capt. Benteen with
three companies which had just reached
the field, and by Capt. McDougall with
his company and the pack mules. The
position was Immediately after COM
petely invested by the Indians, who for
more than twenty-four hours allowed
the garrison no rest and inflicted severe
loss. But for the timely arrival OF re-
lief the command would have been cut
off to man. The number saved with
Reno was 329, including ffty-one wound
ed. The loss among the Indians was
probably considerable, as bodies have
been found in every direction, and they
left behind only small portion Of
their dead.

How Hesing Received Sentence.

When sentence was pronounced Hes
ing stood as if deprived Of the power OF
movement. It was one of those mo-
ments which occasionally occur in a
court OF justice when there is such
painful intensity of excitement as for a
few seconds to rob every one present OF
their power to say or do anything.
Hesing clung to the railing behind which
he stood, and the fearful whirlwind of
emotion that passed over his face was
only observable by the judge and the
automation.li clerk. CONSERVATION
was plainly visible upon the faces of the
ten defendants left sitting in the jury
box. The Judge at last considerably
came to|the relief of the fallen giant.
You may take your seat, Mr.. Hes
ing" he said.
The cid man turned, stumbled back
to his chair, and without raising his
eyes to gaze upon the curious crowd
watching his every motion, buried his
face in his handkerchief aid burst into
tears. 1t was, indeed, a bitter moment.

Germany to America.

Mr.. Cadwalader, acting secretary OF
state of the United States, presented
Mr.. Schlozer, the German minister, to
the President for the purpose of dehv-
ering an autograph letter Of oongratula-
tion from the emperor of Germany. Mr..
schlozer in presenting the letter stated
that he was instructed by his majesty to
deliver upon the fourth day of July to
the President in person an autograph
letter of oongratulation upon the occa-
sion of the centennial anniversary, and
wished to add his personal good wishes
for the United States.
The President briefly replied, assur-
ing him OF his satisfaction in receiving
this evidence of good feeling on the part
of his majesty; that his kind express
sions toward the United States were full
ly appreciated, and that the letter should
be properly acknowledged. The letter
is as follows:
William, by the grace Of God, Enape-
ror of Germany, King of Prussia,
etc., to the President of the United
States:
GREAT AND GooD FRIEND {: It has
been vouchsafed to you to celebrate the
centennial festival of. the day upon
which the great republic over which you
preside entered the rank Of Independent
nations. The purposes of its founders
have, by wise application Of the teach.
ings of the history of the foundation Of
nations, and with insight into the dis
tant future, been realized by develop
ment without parallel. To congratu-
late you and the American people on the
occasion affords me 80 much the greater
pleasure because since the treaty Of
friendship which my ancestor of glori-
GUS memory, King Frederick H., who
now rests with God, concluded with the
United States, undisturbed friendship
has continually existed between Germa-
ny and America, and has been developed
and strengthened by the ever increasing
importance of their mutual relations,
and by an intercourse becoming more
and more fruitful in every domain of
commerce and science. That the welfare
of the United States and the friendship
Of the two countries may continue to in
crease, is my sincere desire and conf
dent hope. Accept the renewed assu-
rance of my unqualified esteem.

Tho Bill to Suppress Lotteries.

The fact that both Houses OF the Uni
ted States Congress have passed q bill
which will have the effect, if carried out,
of entirely suppressing the lottery bus
mess in the United States, or even the
circulation of lottery tickets or adver'
tisements, has escaped public attention.
Such q bill was sent to the President for
signature. The first section relates to
the circulstion through the mails of OBJ
scene literature, and is slight amend
ment- of the present law. The second
section amends section 1894, so that it
will read as follows:
No letter or circular concerning lotte-
ries, so-called gift concerts, or other sim
liar enterprises offering prizes. or con:
cerning schemes devised and intended
to deceive and defraud the public for the
purpose of obtaining money under false
pretenses, shall be carried in the mail.
ANY person who shall knowingly deposit
anything to be carried by mail in viola
ton of this section shall be punishable
by a fine of not more than $500 nor less
than s10O, with costs Of prosecution.
