Some time since, John B. Hubbard,
The notorious Revenue Detective and
United States Marshal, on q raid into
Pickens County, behaved, as usual, in o
most outrageous and defiant manner,
breaking up guns without cause, cursing
and abusing persons, and finally got into
a difficulty with Mr.. J. NJ. Potter, who
he greatly abused by personal violence.
A warrant was issued for him on charge
ofassault and battery with intent to kill,
but the Sheriff of Pickens County was
prevented from arresting him by o United
States Lieutenant, who stated tha. as
Hubbard was airevenue officer he could
not be arrested by tho State authorities,
and thus the rascal was allowed to escape.
The warrant, however, was forwarded to
Columbia, and Trial Justice Marshall
had him arrested, and, in default Of bail

why Is It that the mountain creeks,
which frequently accumulate large guam
titles of debris, do not cause fevers?
The correctness of this position is attes-
ted by science, which teaches us tho con-
nection of the animal and vegetable
kingdoms. Men in respiring give off
carbon, which, if taken into the lungs
again in quantity, is destructive Of life.
Trees and vegetable growth absorb this
noxious gas, and give of in large guam
titles oxygen, which is most necessary
for man. OF course, We do not mean to
say that malarial fevers cannot exist
where there is q growth of forest, but we
60 believe that they would be very rare,

Perilous Adventure of Mother and Child.

A mother and child were near drown
ing in the canal near the lock at Fifth
Street. yesterday afternoon. Mrs. An
drew Hurlburt, the woman referred 20,
lives in a house not 10 feet from the
canal. The ice is broken into large
cakes, and there is quite a swift current
at this point. She has a large family
of children, several of whom were play
ing on the, ice, which was sufficiently
buoyant for their support, when n of
the girls, about 10 years of age, slipped
and fell into the water. The mother,
hearing screams and diyining the cause,
rushed at once to the spot, and, in the
endeavor to pull out her child, her
weight becoming too great for the ice,
it was bent down ahd she thrown into
the cold water headlong.s0ngcoming
to the surface, though gasping for
breath, she was fortunate in Selling
hold of the edge of another cake. 1t
broke, and she was nearly again swept
to certain death, when her son, s. little
fellow of not more that eight years,
caught her hair and sustained his moth
er till help arrived. The whole family
we're assembled on the edge of the ca
nal, gazing with terror at the scene
their united cries brought assistance,
and the mother and the little girl were
drawn from the water in a benumbed
and exhausted condition.-Daytoa CO.,

The Trouble That Was Caused by a
III ~aej S~tationer's Sign. r

A. w. Anderson keeps q stationery
and notion store at No. Ill South Four
teeth Street. The next building north,
No. 1O9, is q dwelling standing back q
short distance from the street and oc-
Scupiee. by a gentleman named Teas
dale. Anderson's store is built close to
the sidwalk, so than his north wall
takes the place of a fence at the south
side of Teasdale's front yard. Just be-
fore Christmas Anderson decided to
paint a modest sign on the side of his
building, which looks towards the
north, and asked his neighbor for the
privilege of placing a ladder on his
premises for the painter to work On.
Permission was refused, and the painter
had to let himself down from the roof
to accomplish his job. The sign, when
completed, read, "School books, no.
tons, toys, cigars and tobacco" the
words reading from the top downwards.
This was not a very serious matter ap-
parently, but Anderson says Teasdale
told him his wife had declared she
wouldn't sit in her window and have
that sign staring her in the face.
Consequently Teasdale went. at it and
OOIip " hoLIOW 1dGtGCG WOIh ClSiI W GllS
top of Anderson's store, completely
~obscuring the sign, while in summer
it might also serve as a trellis for
climbing roses. On seeing this, Ander-
son retorted by setting the painter at
work, and in a short time the entire
portion Of the wall not covered by the
lattice was emblazoned with huge char
acters in the gaudiest Of bright eolors,
intermingled in the most i~nharmonious
fashion, while at the apex, above all the
rest, grinned a hideous skull and crossed
bones. No sooner was this accom-
plished than the carpenters were at
work, and directly the screen grew to
obscure the entire side of the wall. An
derson looked and saw that still the
chimney projected above the envious
screen. Forthwith the painter deco
rated the chimney, and straightway the
sheltering screen grew up before it.
The lattice was mostly painted, and
Teasdale looks upon it with some salts
faction as really adding to the looks of
his front yard. He thinks that, when
covered with climbing foliage next
summer, it will be altogether lovely.
Meanwhile Anderson has procured a
broad piece of sheet iron, and had an
other artistic skull and bones painted
on it. He proposes to place this ontop
of the chimney to-day or tomorrow,
and the end is not yet.-St. Louis Re
publican.

A Horses knowledge Of Time.

| am always pleased to see anecdotes
relating to the intelligence OF animals.
| am sure you are doing a good work
by publishing such anecdotes, for they
seem to educate the people into an ap-
probation of the rights and wrongs of
our DUMB friends. .Bayard Taylor's in
terasting variations in your Sunday
edition reminded me of my old and
faithful horse Charley, now dead, whom
| had driven in my daily rounds for
nearly 10 years. Like nearly all ply
sicians' horses, he had learned to stand
at the door of d patient without being
hitched. But he would not remain be-
yond a particular time. My habits were
quite methodical, and | usually drove to
the stable at II O'Clock noon and 6
p. m. Charley SOC learned this, and,
whether he associated the hour with his
feed or not, certain it vas that, if | left
him unhitched at either of these hours,
as soon as he heard the deep clang of
the old Courthouse bell he would be-
gin to shake his head, stamp with his
feet, and, if some one did not appear
and either hitch him or get in and drive
off, he would start off alone in about
ifS nIiuuUt d4tcI buS DtiI CcdSSO ~ lilly /.
This habit of his / soon learned, and
have often convinced increduIous per-
sons of the intelligence of the horse by
asking them to watch his motions when
the bell sounded. He would start of
very slowly, shaking his head, and
looking back as if saying, 81 cans
wait much longer" If he heard the
door or gate open, even if he was q
block away, he would stop and LOOK
back to see if [ was not coming to him,
I never knew him to run to the stable,
but he would go from my office on
Washington Street to his stable, severa!
squares away, through the crowded
streets, without any collision or dam
age. After / removed to Twenty.sec-
ond Street, Charley kept up his old
habit. For several weeks, if he heard
the - or 6 O'Clock bell, he would start
off down town, in a meditative way.
The police came to know him and his
habits, and rarely took him to the sta
ton. He soon came to know that he
did not board down town. and would
go. to the new stable. He certainly
knew the numbers II and 6, for he
would not start off at II and 8 O'Clock.
1t is proven by a large amount OF testi-
mony that some animals can couns, or
that they associate certain numbers
with certain things, which is nearly the
same after all.-Cor- Chicago Tribune.

What viii Surprise an Indian.

EH ii s.
The Indian has actual and common
experience of many articles of civilized
manufacture, the simplest of which is
as entirely beyond his comprehension
as the most complicated. He would be
a simple exclamation-point did he show
surprise at every thing new to him, or
which he does notunderstand. Hegoes to
the other extreme, and rarely shows or
feels surprise at any thing. He visits
the States, looks unmoved at the steam
boat and locomotive. People call it
stoicism. They forget that to his igno-
rance the productionof a glass bottle is
as iRkcrutable as the sound of the thun-
der. A piece of gaudy calico is a mar
vel; a common mirror q spectacle.
He knows nothing of the comparative
difficulties of invention and manufac-
ture, and to him the mechanism of a
locomotive is not in any way more mat
ter of surprise than that of a wheel
barrow. When things in their own
daily experience are performed in what
TO them is a remarkable way, they do
express the most profound astonish;
ment.. have seen several hundreds OF
Indians, eager and excited, follow from
one telegraph pole to another a repair
er, whose legs were encased in climb
ing boots. When he walked easily,
foot over foot, up the pole, their sur
prise and delight found vent in the
most vociferous expressions of applause
and admiration. A white lady mounted
on a s~ide-saddle, in what to the Indian
woman would be almost am impossible
position, would excite mere surprise
and admiration than would a Hoe

Industrial Education in the Common
Schools.

No child can proftably attempt to
learn any industrial pursuit, however
simple, without the average school
amount of such information and dis
cipliAe. 1t is true, several millions of
the American people are destitute OF
such primary education. But the re-
suits Of that defciaacy are now upon as
in the ruinous and shiftless habits of
work, the wreck of health, the destruct-
i've fanatieisms and dangerous preju-
.dices, and terrible hostilities of our So
cial and political state. 1t is, then, not
wise to risk the general training in ele-
smentary knowledge and discipline now
ggehsiaa the peoples schools for the
asake4 of III atsis@somewhat obscurely
called industrial education" So lit
tie IN be known, at this age, of the
ability or the destiny of the boy, that
any such attempt must be afumbling in
the dark; often a miscellaneous perver-
sion Of faculty, and a cruel robbery of
the only opportunity to acquire that ele-
mentary knowledge and discipline, with
out which no trade can be we'll learned
jealousy of the new institution of sewing
in city schools, especially when pushed
with the zeal shat fires the heart of
many of its lady advocates. The trou-
BILE with the women of America is not
their inability to darn their children's
stockings, and mend the ruptured gar
ments of their ''men-folks," but a gen
eral want of mental discipline and ele-
mentary knowledge, which keeps them
ignorant, narrow and vulgar-the kind
of wives and mothers and women that
perpetuate all the evils of the time
