Cured By A Miracle.

About three years ago, Jennie Grissinq-
er, young lady of this city, was affiict-
ed with disease of the spine, which grad
ually became worse, until she was oblig-
ed to take to her bed. She was attended
by physicians, who resorted to every
known medical expedient TO relieve her
except the application to the spine of a
red-hot iron. Two of them held O con-
suitatlon recently, at which it was deter
mined to apply this terrible remedy il she
would consent to 60 through the ordeal.
They communicated the result of their de-
nberations to her, but she protested
against any further experiments and said
she had made up her mind 10 trust her
case to supernatural agency for cure;
that something had told her she should
rise from her long confinement next day,
she rose accordingly, and sat in chair.
Inc following day she walked across the
room, and since she has atteneed church,
walking with perfect ease. Owing to the
protracted confinement she is weak, but
her spine, which was broken in three
places, has been restored to its original
firmness. The physicians were called in
to see her after she left her bed, and ex-
pressed their surprise at the marvellous
change. Even her lungs, which had been
serious affected, seemed perfectly sound.
MISS Grissinger, who resides on Allison's
Hill, attributes her cure to divine inter-
position in answer to prayer. She had
particularly fixed her mind on certain
passages in the Bible relating to promises
The young lady is daily growing strong
er, and expects to be restored to perfect
health.

TIE BENNETT-MAY DUEL.

One or two of the morning papers are
endeavoring to manufacture a sensation
out of the alleged arrival in this city of
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, and have in
quired anxiously of the District Attor-
ney what steps he should take in the
matter. For the information of those in
terested, it may not be amiss to state that
each and all of the principals and partici-
pants in the Bennett-May duel can walk
into any criminal court in this county
without fear of arrest, for the simple rea-
son that the District Attorney has not
been ,able to obtain a particle of testi-
mony against them, and consequently no
indictments have been found. DR..
Phelps action in refusing to testify be-
fore the Grand Jury having been sns-
tanned by the courts, all others concern
ell can adopt similar course, and refuse
to give evidence on matter which
might tend to criminate themselves. AS
the case now stands, neither Messrs,
Bennett nor May, nor any of the seconds
in the duel, need fear molestation.

ii w CRIMElN AVENGED I'm CALI
FORNIA.


A letter from Santa Cruz CAL, dated
May 90 says the murderers OF DE FeI-
rest Francisco Arias and Jose Cham
alis, were this morning found hanging
from the cross beams of the Upper San
Lorenzo bridge, dead their feet anil
hands being tightly bound with hay
ropes. On the night before last, men
were seen in the orchard back OF the
Jail but as no attempt was made To
lynch the prisoners the people conclu-
ded that the Law would be allowed to
take its course. at two O'Clock this
morning the jailer and under sheriff
were surrounded by body OF men.
These men broke open the ssjail yard
door and obtained from the officers
the Jail keys. 1t is surmised that the
prisoners were placed in a wagon and
driven to the police of execution, the
wagon being driven out from under
them after the halter around their
necks had been fastened to the beam
above. This morning the people gath
cred in large numbers, but there WAS
no excitement and while the regret
was great that Lynch law should be
resorted TO in this law-abiding com
munity-a city in which no one has
been executed without due process of
law since lS52-there was feeling of
security manifested and a general re-
lief that life was no longer endanger-
ell by the x stence of two as de perate
assassins as ever stretched hemp.
Chamalis was executed within three
hundred yards of where he was born,
and at the time of his death was 81
years of age. He was sent to the State
Prison from this county for three
years for robbing widow named
Rodriguez. He broke Jail was rearrest-
ed and served out mis- term. His time
expired in March last. Last Monday
night he was brought to this place iand
confessed all in the presence of four
witnesses. He said that Arias came to
the house where he was and asked him
to accompany the speaker to the cir
Gus. He replied that he had no money
Arias said that they would get some
and they went to the locality where
De Forrest was, and De Forrest hap
pening along Arias fired at him. De
Forrest not stopping Arias fired at
again when De Forrest fell. They re-
mained in the willows till all was
quiet. and then they dragged the MUIR
dercd man across the road. His pock-
cts were robbed of So Arias kept $3.50
of the amount and they went to the
circus.
Arias was 3S years of age and was
born near Pescadero. He still has re-
latives residing.iu this county. For
numbering q sheep herder in San Louis
Obispo he was sent to the State Prison
for three years, his brother having
been sent there for life for the same
crime. For robbiug the house of p,
Murphy, of Watsonville, he was sent
to the State from this county for two
years. For time he denied the muir
der of De Forrest but on being Eclose-
| ycross-examined indirectly admitted
the crime. BY request of Chamalis
they were put in different cells.

SOUTH CAROLYN A.

An address recently issued by the
Democratic Executive Committee OF
Charleston county. South Carolina, con-
tains declarations that will command the
hearty approval of just and liberal, ,mlnu,
ed citizens of all portions OF the United
States. The common-school system Is
earnestly advocated, and the gratifying
and explicit statement is made That "the
Democratic party of Charleston county
are in favor of the immediate ratlhcatlOn
by the General Assembly of the amend
ment to the constitution adopted by the
people at the last State election levying
an annual tax of two mills for school pur-
poses and they pledge themselves to exert
their utmost efforts for the extension OF
the public schools in Charleston, without
distinction of class or color" Practical
measures of this kind, rigidly and perma-
nently enforced, will perform an invalua-
BILE service in obliterating sectional and
race animosties, in making the entire
body of American citizens a homogene-
Gus people, and in creating an enduring
foundation for the development OF the
diversified resources Of the South. An
other portion of the address says: "We re-
iterate that all pledges made by Governor
Hampton during the last canvass shall be
carried out in good faith; and what he
pledged for the State we now pledge for
Charleston county" This guarantee of
protection to all classes in the enjoyment
of all their rights forms an appropriate
addition to the promise of Jealous sup
port to popular education, and it is a
cheering sign of the times that such
measures are made prominent features of
the platform of the Democracy OF the me-
tropolls OF the Palmetto State. The force
Of these appeals is strengthened by the
fact that their immediate object is to
influence an election to be held to-mor-
row for seventeen members of the lower
branch OF the State Legislature, who are
to represent Charleston county. y.-PreSs.

A TRIBUTE TO GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHN
sToN.-At Richmond (Vs.) College on
Thursday night, Gen. Joseph L. Johnston
presented the Steel medal to Manly b.
Curry and made a very happy little speech
Capt. John S. Wise then came forward
bearing a beautiful collection of mag
nolias surrounded by green leaves, and,
addressing Gen. Johnston, said: II am
requested by few of your friends-a
thousand or more, and still very few as
compared with the whole number OF
those who love and honor you-to pre-
sent you with this tribute of their esteem,
which in detail and grouping is but the
type of the purity of character which
have marked the particular acts and the
entire career that have endeared you to
our people and made both laurels and
bays no stranger to your brow" The
audience here arose to their feet and
loudly applauded and cheered Gen. John
ston, as he gracefully bowed his acknow-
Judgments. The applause broke out
afresh as the band struck up "Dixie."

FIFTEEN HUNDRED IRON-WORK

"The Lothians" used to be regarded as
the agricultural paradise of Scotland but
times seem to be as bad there now as
elsewhere in Great Britain. 1t is estimat-
ed that in the past forty-two years the
price of labor has increased $50 per cent
for male servants and 100 per cent for
women; farm horses, POO per cent, and
the work of smith and carpenter, 100 per
cent; and on the other hand, the increase
in the value of what is raised offers no
adequate compensation. A farmer who
has lived sixty years in East Lothian
says that a great many farmers are wish
ing to give up their farms because they
| do not pay, and that he would give a
large sum to be quit of his but his land
lord will not consent. In England the
complaint is to the full as strong; mum.
bers of landlords have lately had to take
hundreds of acres into their own hand,
being unable to find tenants, and the end
must be such further reduction in the
rent of land as will tell heavily on tn,
landed intest. An investment of 5000 .00l
in land in England to-day would not b,
likely to yield more than $4,000 year
This is why none but thei very rich cal
indulge in the luxury.
