1t has been suggested that Governor
Hampton should retaliate by refusing to
surrender any Massachusetts criminals
happening to be in South Carolina, should
Governor Rice demand them of him.
This, it seems to us, would b9 poor re-
yenge. Governor Hampton would glad
ly disclaim all interestin Massachusetts
thief and would cheerfully hand him oyer
to Justice. The affection which Cover
nor Rice entertains for loyal Republican
candidates for the penitentiary, though
very beautiful and touching, is not a
thing to be emulated in the South-Dmt'
Gazette.
A correspondent of the Charleston
rs. C1 News thus writes of the rice crop:
HT venture to assert that not since the
Introduction of this cereal into America
from Madagascar in 1902, has it met It
with greater injury than by the terrific
storm of the 18th September, nor have
those engaged in Its culture sustained
heavier losses by any previous storm"

ARTEMUs WARDS POWER OF RIDI-
cULB.-"Artemus Ward at Cleveland
is the title of an article in Scri61,er, and
the following extract shows how apt at
repartee the great American Humorist
was: In repartee Browne had scarcely
an equal among the journalists of his
time, and his pen was held in wholesome
fear by rival members of the fraternity.
He had always a ready answer for any
that attacked him, and he used his power
of ridicule in reply to his assailants. One
day he found a neat package on his desk, (,
which, on opening, he discovered was a
Jack knife. A reporter on morning
paper-a notoriously homely man-heard
of it, and made paragraph to the ef-
feet that Browne richly merited the
knife. That evening Browne retorted
by naming the person, and saying:
"He is the hOmeliest man in America.
He has broken five cameras in endeav-
oring to get picture of himself to send
to the children of bitter personal enc
my, .maliciously intending to frighten
them to death He has been offered a
good salary to stand UP in a corn-tield as
a scare-crow. He is compelled to get up
three times every night and rest his
face. In his courtlng days he was utterly
unsuccessful until he had procured a
mask. He has a gait like saw horse,
and when he walks the sidewalks the
very bricks recoil in horror"
Not content with this chastisement, in
the next issue, under the gulse of spec
ial dispatch from Charleston, whore Os-
sawatomie Brown was on trial for trea-
son, he said:
"The jury in the case of Ossawatomie
Brown, charged with murder and treason
brought in verdict of guilty at 10 O'Clock
this morning, and at II o'clock he was
sentenced by Judge Barker. The judge,
after dwelling with great force on the
enormity of the prisoners crime, sen
fenced him to sleep one night with
naming the rival reporter "and," said
the judge, with a trembling voice. "may
God have mercy on your SOUL" The
prisoner fell with an agonizing shrek to
the floor, and there was not dry eye il
tie vast concourse of spectators. An eff
fort will be made to get his sentence
commuted to hanging"

DR.. TeGt and the Associated Pre.s

Under the date of April 10Th the Bangor
agent of the Associated Press sent despatch
which appeared in the newspapers the next
day containing statements prejudicial to the
character of the Rev. DR.. B. f. Tefft, late pro-
prietor of the Northern Border newspaper. The
charges therein made were substantially that
DR.. left had been indicte at the February
term of the Supreme Court at Bangor for de-
frauding parties induced to invest in the North
ern Border, among them one Eli Rigby who COM
planned that he was swindled out of his home.
stead and farm in Upper Saltwater for worthless
newspaper stock; and that the doctor had also
been guilty of Irregularities while acting as
executor of his sisters estate in wego, New
York. and been indicted therefor. 1t was fur
Their stated that Rigby had secured settle
ment by which his farm had been restored to
him, and that New York officers had found DR..
Tetft at Lewiston, and that he had settled with
his Owego bondsmen.
To these charges Dr. TeffG made reply
through the columns of the Lewiston Journal
that every material allegation was absolutely
false, and that the despatch was full of false
hoods of calumnious and criminal character
The Bangor Associated Press agent now rises
to defend his dispatch, and in leading arti-
Gle in yesterdays Wing shows by the deeds
themselves that Eli Rigby did mortgage his
farm to Mrs. B. f. left to secure certain notes
for $4,000 given for Northern Border stock, and
subsequently conveyed it outright to DR..
Tefft's daughter. He also shows by CODY of
the record that DR.. Tefft was indicted by
the Grand Jury at the February tern. of the
| Supreme Court for defrauding Eli Rigby BY
| false representations regarding the Northern
| Border newspaper, and furthermore he proves
| By the deed that DR.. Tefft's daughter did re-
convey to Mr.. Rigby his farm, aud that too for
| $4,000, just the amount of the notes he had
| given for the newspaper stock. With regard to
| the Owego matter the Press agent publishes
| copies of three indictments found in the Court
| of Oyer and Terminer, of the county of Tioga
in New York against DR.. Tefft for obtaining
money under false pretences from the legatees
of Laura j. Norton, of whose estate he was exc
cutor, and also copy of the application of the
District Attorney of T oga county for requ
sition founded on these indictments, which ap
plcation was granted.
This answer amply justiies the Bangor
agents despatch. 1t shows that it was found
