The Inter- Oceun is determined to
have revenge in some shape. 1t
now comos at the South in this way:
"Fho ex~Confcdcrate Congress had
spittoons, but their cxpcctoration
was imperfect. The Southern
chivalry prefer n nice clean floor or
Brussels carpet to cuspidor for
tho receptacle Of their surplus
snliva. The practice of this pro-
ference in the House of Represents
tntives will make low carpet ncccs-
sary every session. AS measure
of economy, it would DO vol to place
troughs full Of sawdust along each
aisle. They should bo wide and
fiaring at the top, because the South,
crn statesman scattcrs whom he
spits."

Masonry in Indiana.
From The ST. Joseph Hcruld.

A Masonic Lodge in Indiana was
presided over by Master who had
an exaggerated notion of discipline.
One night he met his lodge in called
meeting (not member absept) to
instruct them in the work. Teach
ing them the use Of the gavcl. he
had just called them up with three
knocks, when he leaned too far back,
fell through n window to the ground
-four stories-and broke his neck.
Picked up next moliling, ho was
buried decently, but not a Mason
camo to the funcral Moro strange
still, not a Mason appeared any
more in that village. 1t was incN-
plicable. Forty women left widows,
2lo children left orphans, eighty
four merchants left in tho lurch with
unpaid bills. Twenty years aftol
that somebody went up into the
fourth story, broke open the door
and bcheld tho lodge, lodge OF
skeletons Strange, but true, they
had strictly obcycd the orders Of tho
". NJ, and, waiting for knocks tc
scat them starved to death. Each
was standing in an attitude of ro
spoctful attention, "looking to the
East ) and had no pitying citizens
taken them down, they would have
been standing thcrc still.

lC IS Mghly SratltylnS, indeed, to
know that the State has such q
noble army of martyrs ready to tell
so much; but the question arises,
"Who the deuce will bo Lett to be
tald on?" Tho next sceno in tho
drama will bo enacted when Pat
terson returns to Columbia in
custody of tho sheriff, and, finding
himself face to fnce with those of
his comreors who have already
crossed over the river and arc free,
will say, "Shalso not thy cory locks,
I cannot tell a lio. Worthington
and tho Legislature did it. He
bought them, and they sold them
selves and I WAS elected Senator.
1 committed no crime. Let me,
too, turn Stato's evidence, that L
may testify against them" And
the poor legislators will catch it.
Of course the Inves hgating Com
mittce and the Stato officials know
what is right, and outsiders, having
no Insight, have no right to criticiso
their action. But We must insist
that there shall be no lnore noUe
proscq,tiS than arc absolutely ncces
sary. All the scoundrcls are
equally guilty, and careful discrimi-
nat ton must be exercised in SAYING
which shall go free and which shall
sullor. The people will not be
satisfied, otherwise.
We arc told that money is what
the State wants. This is an cHtor.
She wishes condign punishment
inflicted on tho thieves who have
Laid her low No moro than a
private person, docs she wish to
compound q felony. She wishes to
mako such an example of this
riotous Radical crew, that they will
be by-word and warning to all
public officials in all ages and all
climes. Tho recovery of percent
uge Of 'stealaSe, whilo the thieves
hold the balance, will be no COM
ponsation for o. bankrupt State, on
outraged people, homes made DESC
late, families orphaned by the IN
accustomed cares and tolls to which
parents have fallen victims, and the
general pail THAT overspread our
people during all those hidcous
days of Tadicnlism. The clinking
of the guinea cannot heal the wound
that honor feels. There must be
something more. The pcnitcntiary
is the place for thieves. They
should go there.

JUDaE :KERsuAw delivered an
opinion at the recent coWlt in Lam.
caster, affirming the right of amar-
ried woman to redeem lands sold
at tax sale, more than ninety DAYS
previous. The law says that the
husband is liable for tho taxes of
tho wifo, and the Judge held that
this relieved her from liability for
his failure. The act providing that
a married womanmay, within ninety
days after tho expiration of her
disability (covcrturo) redeem lands
forfeited by her husbands neglect,
was construed by tho Court to
entitlo her TO redeem ut any time
previous to tho expiration Of ninety
days after the death Of her husband
For these reasons he dccrced in favor
of the plaintiff.

1t removes all eruptions, itching

BY its tonic properties it restores

We hold our breath while tho
discussion is in progress between
tho Wadcsboro Ueraid and the
Monroe Eapress. The Wadesboro
Xcruld said balo Of now cotton
had been received and sold in it's
town from Monroe. The Monroe
E@2'ress jumped it. The Ue'"t0
said it meant to say Morven instead
of Monroe, and that it was the
printers error. The E.rpress don't
believe this and accuses it's contcm-
porary Of falsifying the facts. The
Ucruld hurls back the insinuation.
The E;tpress then spells tho Ueral0
walters name with little letters and
speaks of him as "that person"
Tho Herald retorts upon the editor
Of the E1Vress, who was borne in
Wadesboro, that he has no respect
for the place where he first saw the
light, and cites an instance Of whore
he said in his paper about eighteen
months ago that the Wadesboro
girls had big feet. Tho E.rpross
editor tells about how noble he
thinks tho Wadcsboro girls are, and
says the Xe,'ald man is uncouth and
impolitc. The Xeraid says the
E,o2'rcss man is uncivil and ungen~
tlcmanly The Eapress man then
calls tho Ucrul0 'this fellow and
tho controversy closes for this

brains in his feet. Meanwhile the

HeYers Sisters.

1t looks as ii the best show in Ottawa for years
| is to be the promised entertainment by the Hey
ers Sisters on Wednesday evening, May 9th
These are the same sisters that created such a
turore at the great Gilmore Jubilee in Boston in
1879. Though ladies Of color, they were born in
Nova Scotia, but raised and educated in Califor.
mia, where, at a very early age developing such
surprising vocal powers they were afforded every
facility for attaining thorough musical educa-
ton, until their 14th and 18th year. Then they
came east and enjoyed more training under an
able maestro in Boston until they made their sur.
prisng debut at the great Jubilee, Us stated above.
They were subsequently taken in charge by the
Redpath Lyceum Bureau and under Its auspices
have been giving concerts through the country
with very marked success. About year ago
some Boston genius constructed for them com.
ic opera, entitled "Out of Bondage" in which
there are six or seven characters, the sisters
bearing the leading parts. Among others be.
longing to the company we notice the name OF
Sam Lucas, whom many of our people will re-
member as the jolly end-man in Callender's
Georgia Minstrels that visited Ottawa two years
ago. Their entertainment however, must not
be COMPOUNDED with minstrel show" 1t en-.
tirely novel in its character, but more like an
opera, affording full opportunity for the highest
display Of the musical powers OF the performers,
mingled with rlre dramatic Interpretation. Nor
is there anything of the low comedy sort about
1t, the entertainment is in every respect artistic
and refined. We have before us commendatory
notices from over hundred leading newspapers
of the country, the language of all which agrees
with the Brooklyn Eagle, that an this company
the musical world has something in which to
take pride"

Workers In Marble.


| 1t gives us pleasure to call attention to the
new firm of marble workers Of this city, Messrs
Baldwin & Kuyl, whose shop is located in Hos.
sacks row on Main street. Mr.. Baldwin is too
well known in this community to necessitate
further mention than his connection with the
firm. Mr.. Kuyl is native Of Belgium where he
was educated. In art education, however, he
finished by graduating some years ago at a Par
isian Academy of Design of high standing, since
which time he has been actively engaged at his
profession, giving such time and attention as
only lover will. The firm therefore are spe-
cialy qualified for doing fine work, and pride
themselves on their ability to show new and noy-
el designs. In the future we expect tokeep our
readers posted on THAR doings. Both are prac-
teal men, workers in the shop themselves, and,
conscious of merit, invite an inspection of their
designs and workmanship and an opportunity
to furnish estimates, etc.
