NEWS IN BRIEF.
GENERAL FOREIGN NOTES.

A PARIS correspondent telegraphs that it
is reported that Don Carlos was ordered to
quit France partly in consequence of ex-
Queen Isabella's overtures to him. Those

pital full of patients, stole $1,000 from the
treasury and robbed all the commercial
houses. Only about half the houses COM
posing the colony remain standing. The
number killed was forty, with fourteen
wounded.

ments in the event of certain contingencies
No special preparation is going on at

facture of field guns. Only four thousand

gained in Philadelphia, has purchased
about 1000 acres of land in Virginia,
ninety miles west of Richmond. on the
line of the Richmond and Danville rail
road. A Catholic colony will be settled

hem in good condition; also other
buildings, some orchards and two mills.
A village site will be laid out, where
building lots will be sold. The estate
will be so divided that each farm shall
have a portion of cleared land and por-
ton of timber land. There is "man-
sion house" and lot, which will be re-
served for educational purposes in
the hands of some religious order. The
prices of the farms will range from IS to
$40 per acre, according to location and
improvements, payable in ten equal in

THE BEST SOAP for cleaning paint is
made by taking one ounce of pulverized
borax, one pound best brown soap, cut
in small pieces, and three quarts of wa
ter; put all in a kettle; set it on the
back part of the stove or range, until the
soap is dissolved, stirring frequently. 1t
must not come to boil; use with piece
of old, soft, white flannel. 1t cleanses
paint without injuring it; it is also bene-
fetal for hands, and much better than any
other soap.

A FRENCH journal describes simple
apparatus, just invented, for giving an
alarm when journal boxes are not suf-
ficiently oiled. 1t embraces a certain
number of metallic tubes with elastic
bottoms, filled with an expansible liquid,
the whole inclosed in a small cylinder.
The instruMent can be attached to a
turning arbor, and if the arbor heats the
liquid dilates, forming an electric con-
tact, which sounds an alarm.

THE manufacture of ice is conducted
IN Texas by means of a machine, just
finished, which produces cakes 80 feet
long and feet wide, weighing 10000 to
$4,000 pounds each. They are formed by
freezing fine rain or spray. The bottom
of the cakes are t.awed loose from the
inclined plane, and the blocks slide out
upon platform, where they are cut into
pieces feet square. Four large cakes
OF the frst-named dimensions are made
IN day. The works cost 100000

THERE is considerable distress in the
iron-working districts around Sheffield,
England, owing to the long depression of
trade and fresh dismissals of workmen.
In East Sheffield there are over thous-
and empty houses, whole streets being
almost deserted, owing to the overcrowd-
ing for economY's sake.

A SIMPLE and very striking test may
be made to discover the admixture of
cotton in WOODEN fabrics, by unraveling
the goods and placing little of the
fibre into a dish and dropping upon it
some strong nitric acid. The cotton will
be little or not at all affected; the wool,
on the contrary, will be changed to a
bright yellow. The color is due, in the
latter instance, to the development of a
nitrate

MARK TwAIN's success ON the plat
form is said to be much greater since he
did away with his manuscript. From
the written lectures he came down to
copious notes; from these to little card
with printed heads, which he put in his
waistcoat pocket. He dispensed with
this by substituting few marks on the
back of his finger nails, and then he
went it alone

The Supreme Court of Georgia has
established a ruling that is worthy of the

AN examination of the dusty old files
Of the English patent Office has revealed
the singular fact that an Englishman,
named Thomas Saint, patented in 1890
sewing machine which combines nearly
all the improvements and appliances of
the latest models. That was an English
mans idea on paper; it required Ameri-
can ingenuity to develop and utilize it.

HE largest and most profitable rail-
road in the world-the East Indian, from
Calcutta 10 Jubbulpore and Delhi-will
be sold early in 1879, and the India of
ice is already providing for it. The first
twenty-five years of its existence have
expired, when under the conditions of
Its incorporation, the secretary of state
has the option of taking it at cost price.
The capital is f30,5OO,00O, and the an
nual dividend has reached nearly per
cent, while the working expenses are
lower than on any other line. AS the
government guarantees per cent. on
the capital, and advanced not little in
the earlier years of the railways history,
the account is somewhat complicated.
and the interests involved, alike to the
country and shareholders, are of some
magnitude.

The Consolidated Virginia mining
company one night lately shipped SO bars
of bullion, weighing 1851 pounds and
worth S405, 4S8.O6. This gives as the
total shipment of the company for No
vember the sum of $1,417, 103.48. The
California company the same night made
their first shipment for December. There
were shipped 35 bars, weighing 1926
pounds, and worth S151, $1,000. This
makes total shipment that night from
the bonanza mines of 1874 bars, weighing
1866 pounds, and worth 1856, 63S.66
More than eight tons of gold and silver
bullion Is pretty good for one night.

ers," call was anticipated by some of us
in this section for all our strength from Is
to So Indeed, it was spoken Of pretty free
ly that the 'seed corn" would have to be
ground up. Under this conviction we met
at Hollands Store, in this township, then
Rock Mills beat, organized Company, reg
istered our names and ages, and elected
Col. J. w. Norris Captain, and went to
work. In the meantime there was NOV
ing among the boys from 12 to Is. They
formed Company and elected their Off
GERS, viz: - Hardy, Captain; 7. J. Holland,
Is. Lieutenant; Samuel Cunningham, End
Lieutenant. They uniformed in very pretty
style-a red shirt, blue pants with red stripes
up the seams. Whether this uniform was
selected to show forth thederision, contempt
and scorn which the women and children
of the South felt for the Northwestern brag-
gadocio, or in imitation of the New York
Zouaves, your correspondent is not fully aG-
yised. If tie foregoing be true, the first
military red shirts in this County sprans
up at Hollands Store. Youi claimant mar
ried one of our Holland Store girls, and for
the truth of these statements we give the
following references: Mrs. R. B. Hardy,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cunningham, Col. ]. w.

to whom honor is due" settles the red shirt

Good Digestion.

"Give us this day our daily bread and
good medicine to digest it, is both reyerent
and human. The human stomach and liver
are fruitful sources of life's comforts; or,
disordered and diseased, they tingle misery
along every nerve and through every artery.
The msn or woman with g9od digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles
they meet in the routine of life, where the
dyspepsic sees only gloom and stumbles and
eYowls at even imaginary objects. The

SPECIMEN FREIGHT RATES.

AS a specimen of the manner in which
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
treats the people of Anderson, we would
cite bill of freights received from st. Louis
by one of the largest and most influential
firms in Anderson. From st. Louis to
Greenville the freight was $40, while from
Greenville to Anderson it was $3.50, or it
was forty-two cents more from Greenville
to Anderson than it was from st. Louis to
Greenville. The same goods could have
been brought by wagon from Central for
rs cents, or s1.07 cheaper than the G. Il c.
r. R. brought them. Is it any wonder that
a road which pursues this policy is Ian
gushing in its business?

DEATH OF MIR. LANGsToN.

Our readers will regret to learn that Mr..
Samuel Il. Langston Of our town died on
Friday morning. the 18th inst, from the
effect of the paralytic stroke from which he
had been suffering for more than twenty
one months. Mr.. Langston had been iden-
tilted with the town of Anderson for
forty years, having come here when only
fifteen years old. During the time of his
residence here ne was an extensive and
skilled contractor and builder, and the mon-
uments of his work not only stand in An
dersop, but also throughout the whole of
upper Carolina. He filled the Office Of
Town Councilman in Anderson for num-
Der Of terms, and exercised strong iDtlu-
ence in town matters. In 184S he became a
member of the Masonic Order, and took
much interest in the craft. He served once
or twice as Master of Hiram Lodge at this
place. He was a charter member of the
first Temperance Division formed in Ander-
son, and was at the time Of his death o
member of this Order, in which he held va-
rious positions. Mr.. .Langston served
through the Confederate war. AT first he
was in the regular service, but later in the
war was appointed purchasing agent for the
commissary department of the government,
and as such was an efficient and valuable
officer. He was member of the Anderson
Baptist Church for many years before his
death, and was modest, upright and faith
full citizen and christian. Having been
stricken with paralysis on the 9th day of
August, 1876, and being confined to his bed
most of the time since, bis death was not
unexpected, but came 70 him as q deliver
from pain, when he was ready to 60 hence
with the calmness which marks the death
of the righteous. The funeral services were
performed in the Presb-t.1fs!an Church, in
the presence of large congregation, by
Revs. ]. S. Murray and D. E.. Frierson Oh
Saturday. Mr.. .Langstoa leaves wife and
several children, who have the sympathy

ment.

Mr. EDITOR: AS there will be an election
in Anderson County in November next for
State Senator, and some persons having
been named, We would name Col. Jesse W.
Norris. of this County. Most OF the old
men Of the County have known him for
many years. He is no candidate, and never
has been, except Of the Hampton stripe
that is, it:he should get the largest number
of votes at our primary election, which will
,come off some time this Summer, he will
then be candidate for State Senator at the
general election in November; but if he
fails to get the largest number of votes at
the primary election, We will cheerfully
support the Democrat who gets the most
votes at that election at our general election
in November. FRIENDS.
