A HORRIBLE MURDER.
One Woman Slabs Another Woman to
Death,


We learn of a most horrible affair that occur
red in Pickens county last Saturday night, the
10th inst. 1t seemed a party had been given at
the HOUSE Of Mr.. Hambrick, at which quite a
number Of both sexes had assembled. Among
the number were Mrs. Southern, the married
daughter Of Mr.. Hambrick, and also Mrs. Cow
art, formerly Fowler, who was divorced from
Cowart. The dancing had been kept up to a
to her father, Mr. Hambrick, and asked him
for his knife. In reply as to what she wanted
with it, she said she wanted 10 cut tooth
brarh. The knife was given her, and shortly
afterwards she became involved in angry con-
troversy with Mrs. Cowart, who was at that
time ON the floor with the dancers. One VOID
led 10 another when blows were exchanged.
Mrs Cowars was knocked down and just as
two otler women were lifting her up, Mrs
Southern stabbed her in thu throat and breast
seven times, Mrs. Cowart falling to the floor
a ghasrly corpse, besmeared in the crimson
tile Of her own lifes blood, while the specta-
tors looked on paralyzed with horror. Final
iy gentleman requested that no one leave the
house until the guilty We're arrseted, when it is
said the husband of the murderess drew his
pistol and refused to have the motion put on liz
passage, and the house was cleared. AT last
accounts Shei # Lindsey of Pielsens had war
rant for The arrest of four persons, including
Mrs. Southern, her husband and father, aud
was enropte 10 make the arrests. Jealousy is
said to be cause Of the sad affair.

Contraction and Expansion.

John Henry was with Julia the other

contracting and expanding the currency,
and which do you believe in p
"Well, my sweet" said John, pull

circumstances. In some cases l should
advocate contraction of the currency,
and in others, an expansion of it. 1t is
according to the circumstances-that is,
the condition of things"
"But what is the difference between
the two, and how do circumstances af-
feet them That is what want to know,
John?'
"Oh, that is easily explained" said
John, in tone of great cheerfulness.

Remedy for Insect Bites.

When mosquito, flea, gnat, or other
noxious insect, punctures the human
skin, it deposits or elects an atom Of an
acidulous fluid of poisonous nature.
The results are irritation, a sensation of
tickling, itching or of pain. The tick
ling of flies We are comparatively indif-
ferent about; but the itch produced by a
flea, or gnat. or other noisome insect,
disturbs our serenity, and, like the pain
of wasp or a bee sting, excites lis to
remedy. The best remedies for the
sting of insects are those which will in
stantly neutralize this acidulous poison
deposited in the skin. These are either
ammonia or borax. The alkaline reac-
ton of borax is scarcely yet appreciated.
However, time will come when its
good qualities will be known, and more
universally valued than ammonia, or, as
it is commonly termed, hartshorne. "
The solution of borax for insect bites is
made thus: Dissolve one ounce of borax
in one pint of water that has been boiled
and allowed to cool. Instead of plain
water, distilled rose water, elder, or
orange flower water, is more pleasant.
The bites are to be dabbed with the 90
luton SO long as there is any irritation.
For bees or wasps' stings, the borax So
luton may be made twice the above
strength. In every farmhouse this So
luton should be kept as household
remedy,

"COniugate mt Home"

A London weekly paper makes itself

the daughter of an American minister

she was discovered one day writing let
ters, and observed :" am writing my
declensions. This London is good
enough sort of place for airtations, but
I mean to conjugate at home" The
young lady here referred to was the
daughter of Massachusetts, millionaire,

Lemons u Cure for CONSUMPTION,

A correspondent of an English medi-
cal journal furnishes the following recipe
as a new cure for consumption: Put
dozen whole lemons in cold water and
boil until soft (not too soft, roll and
squeeze until the juice is all extracted,
sweeten the juice enough to be palata-
BILE, then drink. Use as many as a
dozen day. Should they cause pain Or
looseness of the bowels, lessen the
quantity and use five or six day until
better, then begin and use dozen again.
BY the time you have used five or six
dozen you will begin to gain strength
and have an appetite. Of course as you
get better you need not use so many.
Follow these directions and we know
that you will never regret it if there is
any help for you. Only keep it up
faithfully. We know of two cases where
both of the patients were given up by
the physicians, and we're in the last
stages of consumption, yet both were
cured by using lemons according to the
directions We have stated. One lady in
particular was bedridden and very low;
had tried everything that money could
procure, but all in vain, when, to please
afriend, she was finally persuaded to use
the lemons. She begun to use them in
February, and in April she weighed 14O
pounds. She is a well woman to-day,
and likely to live as long as any of lis.

A New Material for Paper.

At Los Ang .les, Cll., mill for re-
ducing the desert PALM" or cactus
plant, to proper shape for paper manu-
facture is fully established. To make
paper the material is first carved in
block, then pressed down a shute to a
shedding machine, then boiled in i'm
mense watts and beaten up ii to pulp in
ray engines. 1t is afterward treated in
the usual way. The palm grows in aka
line deserts where there is not an average
annual rainfall exceeding four or five
inches. The whole Mohave desert, from
Tehiehipa to the Colorado river, prob
ably about forty thousand square miles,
contains large groves of this tree. 1t at
tains an average height of about fifteen
feet, branching at the top, and will aver
age about six inches in diameter. The
whole boly of the tree is fibrous, and
after the earthly matter is removed every
portion becomes paper pulp.

New York in the Hot Season.

The streets of the better portions of
the city, where rich people live, are a
silent and stony desert. The house
fronts are closed, and as grim as the
tombs of the Pharaohs. In the poorer
parts of the city, say along the wards Of
the east side, there's more life. At all
times of day knots of languid men and
women lounge in the shade. Slatternly
and dirty children, ragged and half
naked, swarm on the sidewalks. The
sunlight rains holly down into a street
noisome with the refuse of poor kitchens.
Indescribable smells arise on every
hand. Everybody is sweltering in suf-
fering silence, and the only sign of &C.
tivity is the appearance of the huckster
who drags his unwholesome load of gar
den stuff through the hot street, bowling
his cry in answer to his sad brother who
bewails "rags, bags, bottles" as he
totters along the sidewalk. The whole
picture is striking illustration of the
mort abject misery of human civiliza-
ton,

The Young Gentleman Who Specialized.

There is n young gentleman in a
steamship office in Baltimore who. having
in his clerical career noted how mer-
chants with large capital and enterprise
from time to time made various sums in
specializing, thought he too would sud-
denly grow rich. He studied from day
to day the way it was done, and the i'm
port manifests, with values, etc., al
aided him in his search for points and f.
nally he got, as he related to q reporter,
"the whole business" What should
he do? What article of demand should
he import? A consignment of Hartz
mountain canary birds furnished the
sought-for inspiration. These birds
must be fed. Careful inquiry developed
the fact that there was only moderate
supply of bird feed in the city. and the
cable flashed the order for barrels of
bird seed to be shipped by the next
steamer. cit came" relates the young
gentleman in question, "and I had a
corner on the market. There was abso-
lutely and positively not enough of bird
food in the city, Independent of what 1

An Untrayelcd Young Lady's Fright.

A Boston gentleman Just from Chicago
tells the following curious and interest
ing story: Shortly after the train started
a young lady named Emma Lehman,
who was travelling to her home in Tenn
pleton, Mass, attracted considerable
attention by her strange behavior.
Never having journeyed alone before,
she expressed some anxiety about reach
ing her destiny in safety, which drew
the attention of two young men to her.
who volunteered their advice, and each
recommending different routes, they
complicated matters to such degree
that before reaching Buffalo the sensitive
girl was badly frightened and was in
evident fear that she would never reach
Templeton. On arriving at Buffalo she
Mt hazard took the advice of one them
and left the train. The man whose
advice had not been taken then accused
the other in the lady's presence of trying
to mislead her, which induced her to re-
turn to the train. She was laboring
under great excitement. and appeared to
be temporarily insane. As the train
moved out of Rochester, without word
she ran out on the platform and jumped
off. The train was stopped and she was
overtaken by the railroad officials and in
duced to return. Guided by her subse-
quent actions, the officials determined
to watch her. After leaving Albany she
talked wildly and incoherently and tried
several times to jump from the train,
and at last succeeded while her guar
dams were asleep. The train, which was
moving slowly, was stopped again and
the young woman was captured while
running like n deer down the track.
During the rest of the journey her
screams and struggles were fearful, and
it required the assistance of several men
to control her. When the train arrived
at Palmer she was given in charge of the
station agent, who promised to see that
she was taken to her home in Temple
ton.

Grace Dariing's Home.

On Longstone is the lighthouse which
was Grace Darling's home. A writer
who visited the lighthouse says: We
landed, and were courteouslv received
by the keeper h the house, brother of
Grace. He showed us all over the build
ing, which was in excellent condition.
SO particular was he with regard to
cleanliness that he obliged us to take off
our boots before he would conduct us up
stairs. He informed MS that, when the
government inspectors paid their visit
the last time, one of them had drawn q
white handkerchief from his pocket and
passed it along the top of the doors, to be
sure that no dust had been allowed to
gather there. Here We saw the little
room that had been Grace's chamber.
Everything is religiously preserved as it
was when she lived there. Brave mai.
