American Exports to Germany.

Some interesting facts and suggestions
respecting American expectations to
Germany are communicated to the De-
partment of State at Washington, in a
report by the United States Consul at
Mannheim. Large quantities of Amer
lean meat are imported into Germany By
one firm at Mannheim-10, 900 hams in
a single order, and an enormous amount
of beef and sausages. sent in thirty days
from st. Louis, equal to German sau-
sage. The fear of trichina is the only
obstacle to large purchases of American
pork. A single ham infected condemns
the whole cargo. Rigid and trustwor
thy inspection is recommended before
shipment. Fresh beef twenty-one days
from st. Louis finds ready market in
Baden. American stoves begin to be
seen in Germany, and glass from Pitts
burgh meets with approval owing to it's
strength and clearness. American cot
ton cloths are bought carefully by the
German housewife. Sole-leather from
the United States is preferred to the En-
glish article. American preserved veg
etables, fruits, oysters, Holsters, ETC.,
are sold in large quantities in Germany.
Sewing and knitting machines are every
where accepted with change of name.
There cannot be doubt that the United
States are year by year taking away from
us some of our best customers.-PaU

A NOmadic Town.

Garland, Col, is a town on wheels;
whenever the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad finishes q section of road the
town moves to the end of the line. The
people of Garland are determined to live
at the end of the narrow-gauge, no mat
ter where it takes them. AS the line
will be extended to Alamosa next week,
the festive Garlanders are now preparing
to pack up and move it. The houses are
being taken down in sections, and in o
week or ten days the present site of
Garland will be deserted both by friend
and foe. Garland was built in week,
and at one time had about 1000 inhab-
itants. 1t is healthy place; it was
located about one year ago, and there
have been but seven deaths. There are
few that die, but when they do die they
die suddenly. The cemetery on the hill
contains seven graves, and we climbed
the steep declivity in the early morning
to inspect it. One is the grave of wee
babe, whose little lamp of life went out
after an existence of two months. The

a. Does Miss Sophie Litchfeld live
here ?" he asked of pretty girl who
was just coming out the front door of
the house pointed out to him as Litch-
fields.
"Yes, sir; please walk in; she's here
in the parlor."
Instead of a slipshod blowsy girl, Mr..
Cameron found Sophie to be very at
tractive young lady; quite as well-man-
nered and pleasant as Lottie FELTON,.
His visit was far longer than he intend
ed, for he ended by going all over the
farm with the father while the daughter
was making few changes in her dress
preparatory to spending the day with
her future mother-in-law. Mrs. Cam
eron had smiles instead of tears that
day, for she not only had her boy at
home again, but discovered that Sophie
was just exactly the sort of a girl she
had always pictured as Maurice's wife.

Maurice stuck to his determination tc

A Battle In South Carolina.

About 1900 men assembled in the
village of Edgeville, s. c., yesterday,
the occasion being the opening OF the
Democratic campaign by Gov. Hampton,
Judge Mackey, Gen. Garry, and other
leaders. Several companies of State
troops were present for review. The
speaking took place in grove half a
mile from the village. Among the au-
dience were James Booth, Thomas
Booth, Benjamin Booth and s. Booth,
and BROKER Toney and Mark Toney.
A bitter family feud has long existed be-
tween the Booths and Toneys. Several
years ago several men named Booth went
to the house of Abram Jones for the
purpose OF attacking him. They were
accompanied by Luther Toney. Jones
was prepared, and the assault was aban-
doned, but young Toney was killed by
one of the Booths, accidentally, it is
claimed by the latter. Toney's relations
regarded it as Intentional. On yester-
day BROKER Toney, a brother of Luther,
demonstrated with man who was abus-
ing Democratic negro. James Booth
walked up, took the part of the man and
drew a pistol. Toney drew his also, but
the parties were separated. About 2
o'clock Toney left the ground where the
speaking was going ON and rode to the
village. He was followed by the Booths,
and a meeting took place in the public
1 square. A terrible fight ensued, partici-
pated in by friends OF both parties.
Toney killed James and Thomas Booth,
and was himself shot in the back and
killed. Benz. Booth was MORALLY, Mark
Toney and w. l.. Coleman seriously, and
s. Booth, s. B. Ryan, J. w. Lott, DR..
Sanders and Clarence Seigler slightly
wounded. The seriously wounded were
spectators, not in the fight. About
thirty shots were fired. Gov. Hampton
ordered the company of State troops
under Adjt. Gen. Noise, to quell the
disturbance. Noise ordered the crowd
to dispense, but they refused, and ther
instructed the company to procure am
munition and fire upon the crowd if i
did not leave, whereupon they dispersed

Death comes at last, and with little pin
Bores through his castle-wall-and farewell, King
What Shakespeare said of the vanity of
Kings lives describes equally we'll the
frailty of human life everywhere. The
following singular story comes from
Toronto, Canada
A young man named Henry Hubbard,
aged 3S years, fell dead while walking
the streets. OF course, the usual in
quiry was instituted and examination
made. 1t was at first supposed he was
the victim of heart disease, but the most
vigorous search failed to detect any
signs of disease in that organ.
The doctors were puzzled; the man
was healthy, and in the full posses
sion of his powers; what could have
caused his sudden departure from this
world?
It was at last traced: in one section of
the heart, while under the microscope,
was discovered the minute point of a
needle. Death had been brought about
by this broken point of needle. But
how did the needle get to the heart /?
The doctors renewed their researches,
and were at last able to follow the course
of the needles point, which had first
entered the mans foot, and from there
had slowly worked its way through the
body TO the heart, when death resulted.
This is one of the most remarkable cases
on record, and shows from what slight
accidents death may result. All the
time the deceased man had no knowl-
edge of his impending doom; slowly and
surely the fatal piece of steel pursued
it's serpentine route until it came in con-
tact with the vital organ.

Criminal Statistics.

r. B. Sanborn has been collecting
facts regarding crime and criminals in
the United States. The number of con-
victs is now twice as great as in 1871,
the relative figures being 81, 600 and
10000. The greatest increase is in
Georgia, Tennessee and several Western
States. The number of persons in
prison as convicts, or awaiting trial, is
$4,000, of whom less than one-sixth are
women. About 10000 of the whole
number are in New York and 1920 in
Massachusetts, where the proportion of
prisoners to population is greater than
in any other part of the country. In
the South the higher prisons are gener-
ally made self-supporting by the labor
of the convicts, who are leased to con-
tractors, who may employ them any
where in the State. In Arkansas the
contractor pays nothing, but meets all
expenses. In Tennessee, Georgia and
Mississippi stated sums in money, be-
side expenses, are paid by the contract
ors. Mr.. Sanborn figures as follows !:
"The general result of the labor of con-
victs in the State prisons OF thirty seven
States (for Delaware has no central
PRISON. falls 81 100000 short of the
earnings requisite to support the 20, 900
convicts in those prisons last year.
That sum, divided among an average of
1000 State prisoners, gives an average
cost of something more than S43 year
for each convict. If we add in the sum
paid for the support of short sentenced
prisoners in isils, the total cost of the
60, 600 persons in prison throughout the
year 1877 would probably exceed S.
000, 900, or something more than $50 a
year for each prisoner"

Two Hundred and Sixty five Thousand
Kinds of Insects.

There is now on the way to New York
what is probably the most wonderful en-
genealogical collection in the world, and,
strange to say, it has been made by an
old actor, Mr.. Henry Edwards, of Cali
fornia. He commenced the task when
he was only 10 years of age. Since that
time, by purchase, personal efforts in
various parts of the world, and system
of exchange with something like 1877
correspondents, he has secured not less
than 900 species, comprising 265, 900
specimens. To pack these for trans
portation around the Horn occupied
three weeks of hard work of several
persons. They fill l, 036 boxes, requir-
ing space of $50 cubic feet. or eighteen
tons of ship measurement. The i'm
mensity of the collection may be in
ferred from the statement of this fact.
Mr.. Edwards is member of some six
teen learned societies in various parts of
the world; and has to maintain an i'm
mense correspondence with the great
scientists of the world, including Oar
win, Lubbock, Wallace, and other prom
inent naturalists in this country. Had
Prof. Agassiz lived the collection would
undoubtedly have passed into the hands
OF Cambridge University. It's future
disposition is in allegiance, but before it
passes from view it may possibly be ex-
hibited in public for the benefit of sci
entific admirers, in some accessible hall
in New York, which is yet to be chosen.
Those who have seen the collection de-
scribe it as wonderful.-New York

An important Decision.

A very important decision has just
been rendered by the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin. In the case of Benedict
against Westover, for libel, on appeal
from the Waukesha Circuit, the Su-
preme Court held that communications
from the agent of commercial agency
are not privileged, and that nm action
will lie for SANDER in such a communi-
cation if damage is proved, and if the
defendant does not prove the truth of
the libel. and that it was published from
justifiable motives. Commercial agcn-
cies may inflict much damage on bust
ness men by reports touching their char
acter and standing which have no solid
foundation in fact. The Wisconsin de.
cision will go far to correct the evil by
rendering commercial agencies more
cautious in their statements

THE BOND COURT DECIDES
FAVORABLY FOR THE TAX
PAYERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Our Edgefeld Representatives,, particu-
larly Senator Gary and Messrs. Callison
and Shaw, fought the Bond Court man
fully, and left no effort untried to compass
its abolition, but in vain. And in less
than two days after their different bills
were killed, the Bond Court announced
its first decision-a decision very much in
favor of the taxpayers of South Carolina,
inasmuch as it wipes ont more. than
$l,500,000 Of the fraudulent bonds. II is
probable that the bondholders will carry
the matter to the Supreme Court of the
United States; but the matter should, by
rights, be considered as settled, as the
people cannot be expected to go back on
the decision ef BOTH disinterested Bond
Committee and a disinterested Bond Court,
the members of both having been sworn
to do the square thing all round.
