General Wade Hampton.

Hon. Wade Hampton, who was recently
inaugurated Governor of South Carolina,
was born in Columbia, S. G., in 1918. lie
is a grandson of zen. Wade Hampton, OF
Revolutionary memory. He practiced law
serving in the meantime in both branches
of the Legislature of South Carolina until
the outbreak of the Rebellion, when he re-
cruited and took command of the Hampton
Legion, otherwise known as the "Black
Horse Cavalry" This troop was at the
battle of Bull Run, where Hampton was
wounded. He was made Brigadier-Gens
eral after this engagement, and received
other wounds at the battle of Seven Pines
and at Gettysburg. He was made Lieuten-
ant General of the Confederate army in
1864. At the close of the war Hampton
returned to his home and professed, with
the same temper as Lee and Longstreet, to
he interested only in the reconciliation OF
the opposing sections. He was as deter
mined foe in the field as any one arrayed
against the government during the Rebel
lion, but when the struggle was shown 20
be useless he lost no time in regrets. but
gave all his energies to reconstruction.
Hampton was unanimously nominated fol
Governor on the 10Th Of August last. Since
that event he has been the centre oil the ex-
citing affairs i'm South Carolina. and has
had an immense influence with the people.

The sltro Tunnel

The Sutro Tunnel, though 1t is designed
for private rather than public uses, viii rank
among the great engineering works not
only of this, but of any age. The tunnel
was designed to afford a horizontal outlet
for the immense deposits Of silver ore in
what's known as the Comstock lode under
Virginia City, in Nevada, These deposits
are 1900 feet below the surface of the hills
under which they lie. At rough estimate
5000 tons Of waste rock are lifted 2,00e
feet daily, and the water has to be pumped
into system of cisterns 200 feet apart, at
enormous labor and expense. The tunnel
was projected by Adolph Sutro, German
engineer, and begins in the Carson Valley,
four miles east of the lode, which it is in
tended to pierce at depth Of 1000 feet.
It has now been driven over Is, 600 feet
into the mountain, and Is progressing at
the rate of about 80 feet per week. -Four
perpendicular shafts were started, at equal
distances along the route, from the surface,
to meet the main tunnel. The workings
from the first shaft and the entrance met
about three years ago. The second shaft
encountered body of water, which burst
out SO suddenly that the workmen were
obliged to flee for their lives, and the shaft
became well. The main tunnel reached
this shaft in 1875, aud drained the water.
The third shaft was also drowned out, and
the fourth has not reached the level of the
tunnel. The headway which is made is
unexampled in tie history of engineering,
owing partly to the firm nature Of the rock,
and the question of its completion is only
matter of short time. A ganglion of
tunnels will follow the vein in all directions,
and the water will drain itself into the
Carson River, while the ore and waste rock
will be easily run out on the horizontal
railroad.

What the Colts are Doing.

At Colts armory, in Hartford, about
four hundred men are now at work. In
the Baxter engine branch the orders have
been larger during the past thirty days
than for many months past, and, in addi.
tion to the demand of the home trade,
three engines have been ordered for Eng.
land, several for South America, one fol
Copenhagen, and one to go to Jerusalem
Several men are at work on W. B. Farwell's
new gun, which is like the Gatling. The
Arms Company has just entered upon the
manufacture OF new style of pistol,
know as the "self-cocking" or double
action, which combines all the merits OF
the ordinary Colts revolver, with the
additional advantage that pulling the trig-
ger both raises the hammer and discharges
1ha mecnEgaigR224 nEsaR24 Is s,p The of the
sure is exerted in cooking, whereas in
nearly all other weapons On the self-cocking
plan the pressure necessary is so great as
to be severe strain on the muscles of the
forefnger, and to prevent accurate shoot
ing. There are six chambers the cart
ridge used is the thirty-eight calibre,
central fire, and any cartridge of this cali
bre made in the country may be used. In
a recent test Of this weapon it showed
extraordinary penetrative powers. The
barrel is three and half inches long, and
the whole weapon only eight and quarter
inches, while the weight is only twenty
three and half ounces, or fraction less
than pound and half.

Some Very Remarkable Winters.

The New Londcn Telegram says: Now is
the time to- trot out paragraphs about
remarkable winters-winters that have dis
tinguished themselves by being either
colder or warmer than the law allows. No
well regulated newspaper will neglect his
duty. Referring back to our files we find
that in 1172 the temperature was SO high
that leaves came out on the trees in Janu-
airy, and the birds hatched their broods in
February. In 1889 the weather was
equally mild, and the maidens of Cologne
wore wreaths of violets and corn flowers at
Christmas and Twelfth Day. In 1421 the
trees flowered in the mouth of March, and
the vines in April. Cherries ripened in
the same month of April. Peaches ap-
peared in May, and little boys commenced
to fall out of apple-trees little later. In
1879 the trees were covered with leaves in
January, and the birds hatched their young
in February, as in 1172. In 1856 the same
thing was repeated, and it is added that
the corn was in ear at Easter. To the best
Of our memory there was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters Of
1888, 1907, 1909, 1917, 1859; finally, in 1862
even in the north of Germany, the stoves
were not lighted, trees lowered in Febru-
ary, and outdoor bouquets were showered
on the newspaper offices without numb,r.
It seems but as yesterday. Coming to
later dates, the winter of 1867, when it
shundered at Paris ON the 28th of January,
and that of 1865, the year of the inundation
of the Seine, may be mentioned as very
mild.

Mark Twain as a Reporter.

reported on morning newspaper three
years and it was pretty hard work. But
enjoyed it's attractions. Reporting is the
best school in the. world in which to get a
knowledge of human nature and human
ways A nice gentlemanly reporter
make no references is well treated by
everybody Just think Of the wide range
of his acquaintanceship, his experience of
life and society. No other occupation
brings man into such familiar social re-
lations with all the grades and classes of
people. The last thing at night-mid-
night-he goes browsing around after items
among the police and Jail birds in the lock-
up, questioning the prisoners, and making
pleasant and lasting 1rIenuslilps ss.H~~s +a..
worst people in the world. And the very
next evening he gets himself up regardless
of expense, puts on all the good clothes his
friends have got, goes and takes dinner
with the Governor, OF Commander-in-
Chief of the District, the United States
Senator, and some more of the upper crusts
of society. He is on good terms with all OF
them. and is present at every gathering,
and has easy access to every variety of peo-
pie. Why,I breakfasted almost every morn
ing with the Governor, dined with the prin-
clpal clergy, and slept in the station
house.
A reporter has to lie little or they would
discharge him. That is why left it. l

can lie, but won't, Reporting is fasci-
mating, but then it is SO distressing to have
to lie SO. Lying is bad-lylng is very bad.
Every individual knows that by experience.
I think that for man to tell lie, when
he cannot make anything by it, is wrong,

The House May Elect Hayes.

A remarkable article i'm The Pu6Isc this
week suggests a novel solution OF the
Presidential problem. It's essential points
NAV be put in few words: Suppose the
Democratic theory should prevail the
right Of either House or Senate to reject
the vote of any Stats be recognized, aid
the question come up ON the votes OF Ore
gon South Carolina and Florida. Neither
branch of Congress could be expected to
decide so momentous a question without
debating it. The Senate has no. rules limit
ipg debate. Tt discussed the paltry Finch
hack business for over two weeks. lt
could hardly be expected that Republican
Senators could finish all they would want
to say on SO momentous question as tne
Presidential succession short of three
weeks. But the Joint Convention cannot
count the votes until the 14th of February.
If the houses separate whenever question
il raised about the vote of any State, ana
the two branches proceeding to debate, the
Convention can do nothing but adjourn
from day to dav until decision is reached.
But in less than three weeks the Fourth Oh
March will have arrived, when the present
House goes out Of existence. The Senate,
therefore has nothing to do but to debate
