THE WOES OF WEALTH.

When the heirs of rich man fail
to be satisfied with the distribution of
his property as he wills it. and seek,
after his death. to adjust their claims
through the Courts, as they almost al.
ways do, the lawsuit becomes q regu-
lar Gabriels trump in uncovering
skeletons that were before securely
locked in family closets. Where the
heirs are not so very near OF kin 10
the testator this is not so difficult to
understand but when brothers and
sisters quarrel with one another over
deceased fathers legacy and bring
up all his weaknesses and failings gen
orally from the grave of a charitable
oblivion, the thought arises, "Where
has filial piety fed tor" Indifference
to family ties and family reputation
seems now TO be social weakness in
our own country. In the history Of
the past we read how princes and
courtiers were frequently instrumental
in getting parents or brothers out of
the way in order that upon their dead
bodies they might step opower, wealth
and consequence But the sovereign
people have imbibed this vice of roy
atty. The Vanderbilt heirs seem 10
care nothing Tor their dead fathers
reputation II is bis money that is the
focal point Of all their love and inter.
est. Honor does not put in an ap-
pearance at this trial. In New Jersey,
the other day, man killed his mother
and sister and attempted to kill bis
father because the gift of bis fathers
farm to himself had been charged with
the support Of his parents. The Mo
lock of greed destroys all the man
hood and all the soul that might be
expected in these images after divine
model, and in this sense money is the
root of much, if not all, evil.

A CURIOUS DEATH.
A MAN KILLED BY A PIECE OF FLYING
STEEL THE SIZE or A SPLIT PEA.


On Friday last about noon, q man
named John Hevel, while working in
the quarries near the Henry Clay Fur
mace, was seen TO stagger by his fol
low-workmcn and then fall. He was
picked up, and seemed all right, and
said that he had been bit in tho neck
by piece Of stone. He then fell down
again, and became unconscious, The
workmen did not know what was the
matter with the man and on examin'
ing his neck they found only mere
scratch, but discovered that the veins
began to swell. DR.. II. 4. Norris was
summoned, and he had the man taken
to his house, which is in the rear Of
Engwicht's hotel on Front street.
The doctor saw that Hevel was past
all human aid, but summoned DR.
Craig, OF Columbia, for CONSULTATION
and after lingering until ! o'clock on
Saturday morning Hevel died.
Deputy Coroner L. D. Roath sum.
moned Messrs. Abram Sunny, J. X.
Fldler, John Naylor, +. X. Curran,
Sohn II. Fidler and Samuel +. Frey to
act as jury, and appointed Drs. Norris,
Craig, Houston and Withers to hold a
post mortem examination. They found
that while Hevel was engaged in
breaking stone, he was struck on the
right side Of the neck by piece Of
flying steel, the size OF half a split
pea, from the hammer ofa fellow-wOrk
man. 1t penetrated the neck about
an inch and q half obliquely forward
below the angle of the jaw, just escap.
ing the main trunk Of the jugular vein,
penetrating to the carotid artery,
which 1t pierced, making an incision
about the firth of an inch across that
vessel, fhe elasticity of the artery
caused the bit Of steel to defect It's
course, IN which il severed a number
Of the branches of the jugular. Pass.
ing on, il struck the clavicle, or collar
bone. 1t was arrested about an inch
below the clavicle and beneath the
skin, from which place it was removed
by DIR. Norris as soon as the patient
was seen. The hemorrhage was en-
tircly sub-cutaneous and sub.musoular,
none appearing externally. The blood
from the severed veins soon filled the
loose cellular tissue OF the whole neck,
dstending il enormously, while that
from the wounded artery formed a
sack, or pouch, pressing fearfully
against the trachea, or wind.pipe. Drs,
Houston and Craig were called to a
consultation and the conclusion was
reached that the case was beyond the
help of medical skill The wisdom OF
this diagnosis was fully established by
the post mortem examination.
The jury then rendered a verdict
that the deceased came 10 his death
"by being struck in the neck, accident.
ally, with a piece of flying steel from
the hammer of o fellow workman, at
the quarries at Chiclies, cutting a
number of branches OF the jugular
vein, causing strangulation from in
ward hemorrhage. "
Mr.. Hevel was q man about sixty.
eight years old, and leaves a wife and
seven children to mourn his loss

AMENITIES OF WAR.
HOW MCCLELLAN AND CUSTER TREATED
AN OLD WEST POINT coMRADE.

In the Summer of 1852 when Gen.
erals Mcclellan and Joe johnson were
commanding the two opposing armies
IN the attack and defense of Richmond,
freak of fate or decree OF destiny or.
dered a singular coincidence in the SIT
uation of the Northern and Southern
cadets. Custer was acting on General
George b. McClellans staff and his for
mer friend on that OF General Joseph
L. Johnston, each as aid TO the com
manding Generals Of the Northern and
Southern armies. On the day Of the
battle Of Seven Pines, or Fair Oaks, the
Confederate commander was severely
wounded by shell, and his place al
terward filed by General Lee. The
same day Johnston's young aide was
captured by the enemy while in the
discharge of bis duty, and taken to
McClellan's headquarters as prisoner
Of distinction. He had been known to
the Federal general when at West
Point, and being courteously recogniz-
cd was treated with much considcra-
ton. Here, too, he met several young
officers who had been cadets at the
same time with him, by whom he was
welcomed with much cordiality and
glee-kindest and most cordial was
Custer. II was singular, striking
scene one that merits description
among the incidents Of a sectional war.
The blue jackets greeting the gray, foes
meeting as friends, hands clasping
kindly that were armed in deadly strife
against each other. Just small green
spot in the dreary desert of war To
Clusters care Mcclellan especially con-
signed the young Confederate officer,
with the charge, given in serio,comic
tone, that, "The prisoner should rot be
treated very severely, hut allowed a
cigar and other reireshmonts OCCASION
ally" So that night there was rather
a iolIificationin one Of the headquarters
tents which the party occupied. Re-
hcarsing scenes at West Point in which
they had mingled "skylarking' at
Benny Haven's, and other hap-hazard
irolics, stories of study and drill, and
mutual inquiries for friends scattered
South and North amid the ranks of the
contendiug armies. Afterward, when
the Confederate prisoner was ordered
TO be sent to Fort Delaware in parting
with his acquaintance again, Custer, his
generous guardian, suddenly struck
with kind thought, exclaimed impul.
sively; "You must have some money,
Jim those pictures in your pockets
Confederate currency don't pass up

From this, says the iStockholder, il
will be seen that the great mass ol man
kind uses the silver coinage exclusively
Even in the populations under gold
silver is the subsidiary coinage, and i,
in use for all the daily transactions Of
life But people who talk Of gold be
ing the unit OF value for the rest of the
world, of course do so ignorantly. The
localities in which we arc most inter
ested for the extension Of our trade
that IL, Mexico, South America and
Asia-use silver exclusively.
But the opponents of silver oppose
it, because it is not in common use
throughout the world, but because it:
remonetization in the United State:
would cut down the profits of thl
Eastern money.lenders, by making
metallic coin plenty and accessible al
cheap rates to all who desired to turr

secret of their opposition.

Poles Modern Whist in Rhyme.

IT you the modern game Of whist would know,
From this great principle its precepts flow.
Treat your own hand as to your partners Joined,
And play, not one alone, but both combined.
Your first lead makes your partner understand
What is the chief com ponent Of your hand,
And hence there is necessity the strongest
That your first lead be from your suit that's longest,
In this with ace and king, lead king then ace:
With king and queen, king also has fist place:
With ace, queen, knaye, lead ace, and then the
queen,
With four small Ones ace should first be seem
With queen. knaye, ten you let the queen pIecede;
In other cases you the lowest lead
Ere you return your friends, your own suit play
But trumps you must return without delay
When you return your partners lead, take pains
To lead him back the best your hand contains,
II you received not more than three at first:
II you had more, you may return the worst.
But If you hold The master card you're bound
10 play 1t, In most cases, second round.
Whene'er you want lead, it is seldom wrong
To lead "up to the weak or ''thro' the strong"
In second hand your lowest should be played,
Unless you mean "Trump signal'' to be made;
Or ii you've king and queen or ace and king,
Then one of these will be the proper thing.
Mind well the rules for trumps, you'll often need
them,
When you hold five, 'tis always right to lead tbem
VI IL the lead won't come in time to you,
Then signal to your partner so to do.
To lead thro' honers turned up is bad play,
Uuless you want the trump suit cleared away.
When second hand doubtful trick you see,
Don't trump i5 if you b old more trumps than three
But having three or less trump fearlessy.
When weak in trumps yourself, don't force YOU
friend,
But always force the adverse strong trump hand.
For sequences stern custom has decreed
Inc lowest you must play if you don't lead.
Vhorv
For strong ones are too valuable to lose.
