No admission fee is charged visitors to the

NIT from the superintendent; but lady who
visited the California pan-mill recently paid
800 for the privilege, and was taught lesson
in natural philosophy In this wise: Mr.. Long,
the foreman, was showing three ladies and
gentleman through the mill, and kindly ex-
pans, and SO forth. The quicksilver bowls
standing near the amalgamating pans at
tracted the attention of the visitors, and
they inquired what use the odd-looking
concerns were put to. He explained
their use, but the ladies did not seem to catch
the sense of his remarks very readily. They
seemed quite puzzled. Mr.. Long repeated
his explanation, but the ladies manifested
more surprise than ever. In order to make
himself understood, Mr.. Long then gave q
practical demonstration of the working Of
the bowls, by pulling up the stopper which
checks the inflow of the beautiful metal from
the pipe connecting with the supply tank.
The bowl Immediately filed with quicksilver,
the surface, looking clean and bright. The
party could not resist the temptation of
dipping their fingers In the metal. They
withdrew them as clean as when they put
them in. This susprised them. Mr.. Long

chief engineer Of the mill, having just been

out and rubbed it dry. The quicksilver hav-

looked bright as FURNISHED gold One Of the
ladies said it was beautiful, and another took

movement, but said nothing. The specific

BEHEADED FOR His CRIME.-A dis"
patch from Berlin, dated August 18th,
says that Emil Hoedel, "the tinsmith
from Leipzig" who attempted the assas.
sination of the Emperor William on May
II, in the Avenue Unter den Linden, aB
the Emperor was returning from drive
with his daughter, the Grand Duchess Of
Baden, has been executed. He was be.
headed this morning at an early hour in
the court yard Of the new prison. The
imperial warrant, decreeing that justice
should take its course, was signed on tho
9Th of the present month.
Hoedel's age was about twenty-one,
On the trial he protested that he had
not intented to take the life of the En-"
peror, but sought to sacrifice his own life
in a public manner in order to create
sympathy for the suffering people. Nu-
merous witnesses, however, testified that
Hoedel levelled his weapon direct at the
Emperor.
When informed that his execution wan
fixed upon, Hoedel became deathly pale.
He wished to plead for pardon, but soor
recovered composure when told that thiB
was useless. He asked for wine for sup
per and drank to the Commune and the
leaders of the Social Democracy. When
the sentence was read on the scaffold he
spat disdainfully and cried "Bravo!" He
repulsed the ministrations of the chaplain,
declaring them useless, as it would take
years to convert him. Fifty persons at
tended the execution, which is generally
approved. Official notice Of the exeeu.

TENNESSEE POLITICS. communica-
ton from Washington, under date of
August 18th, says that number of prom
inent Tennesseeans have been in that city
for several days, and it develops that their
mission here is to consult Judge Key in
regard to an independent party movement
in their State. The Democrats are badly
broken up over Republican issues, it is
claimed, and it is probable that an Inde-
pendent Convention will be held to NOM
mate opposition candidates for q State
ticket. The gentlemen who are here say
that if the Postmaster General will accept
an Independent nomination for Governor
the Republican Convention will endorse
him, and his election will be certain.
Judge Key is new holding the matter
under advisement, and the chances are
very favorable that he will give the move
ment his approval. He will not seek the
nomination, but if awarded him with any
great degree of unanimity, and if the
Republicans are disposed to accept him,
there is no doubt he will consent to run.
The President, it is said, encourages him
to do so, although he will regret to have
him leave the Cabinet, but the President
thinks with Judge Key as leading can
didate on an Independent Democratic
ticket, his Southern policy could be sub
jected to very favorable test.

The Chinese Sand Pear.

Just now good deal of attention is
being drawn to new pear, the Chinese
Sand Pear, so called in the South, and
especially in Georgia snd South Carolina.
A correspondent Of the New York World,
writing from Macon, Ga, gives history
of the new fruit, which we condense, but
state the main points of interest in rela-
ton to it. The Chinese Sand Pear, or
the LIE Conte as some call it, is not re-
cent introduction, the parent tree being
alive two years ago in Liberty County,
having been bought in New York or
Philadelphia, and planted there nearly
thirty years ago by Maj. Jack LIE Conte.
He bought of tree dealer, the seller
having labeled it "Chinese Sand Pear"
and saying at the same time the thing
would amount to little or nothing, for
the fruit would not ripen in this country.
But it did mature in Liberty County,
and proved such vigorous grower, with
such desirable fruit, that it was propa-
gated from cuttings, and has latterly be-
come we'll known and widely introduced
in Southern and Southwest Georgia,
MncIe tuc ClliudtC oCCuio PCSuiioily ooaE.
ted to it. The tree is free from disease,
bears early, natures its fruit in August,
stands drought remarkably well, and is ,
fast grower, attaining great height, and
having conelike or pyramidal form.
The writer states that the Chinese Sand
Pear is the only one which they can
make grow from cuttings, and in this re-
mark shows that the variety has at least
one feature which decides it to be very
different from others, and suggests that
it is this remarkable capacity for repro
duction which renders it so hardy, SD
prolific, and 80 we'll suited to the soil and
climate of Georgia, South Carolina, and
Florida. We shall be glad to hear mora
concerning the Chinese Sand Pear from
some of our numerous subscribers and
correspondents in Georgia; and glad To
hear that there is at least one pear that,
under all kinds of neglectful or careles,
treatment, bears as regularly and abun.
dainty as those venerable trees planted
along the second bottoms of the Ohio
and Wabash rivers more than century
ago by the early French settlers of the
Mississippi Valley.-Eome and Farm.

DAVIDSON COLLEGE, N. c., Aug. Z.


Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking you will not
object to a few lines from the Old North
State, will attempt to give you few
dots. You have, doubtless, before this
heard all of the particulars of the cleo
tion in this State, and 1 will not trouble
you with any election news proper. The
North Carolina press seems jubilant over
the victory, which gives the Democrats
nearly seventy on joint ballot in the Leg
islature. With all the great fuss about
Independent Democrats, Radicals and
Nationals, they have elected but the
merest handful of their candidates.
These will have no influence in politics.
From the mutilation of the Indepen-
dents in the election, there will probably
be -culled lesson to the Democrats to
beware of Independent candidates for
the Senate. There will be no such elec-
ton as that of Merrimon for his present
term. Whoever is elected must be elec.
ted as astraightout Democrat. Although
The Old North State has gained q sweep.
ing victory, it is not without its lesson.
Josia Turner, of Orange County, was
elected to the Legislature as an Indepen-
dent Democrat. He pleaded powerfully
to the people, alleging the great wrongs
done to him by the Democratic party in
not making him their candidate, and the
popularity of the man gained him eight
hundred Democratic votes. He is said
now to think of running for Congress,
and with such Democratic backing, the
RAIDS will perhaps elect him if he runs.
The danger to the Democratic party lies
in men so far forgetting themselves as to
listen to bolter, no matter what his
previous record is. It is notorious fact
that they always appeal, not to their own
party, but to any and everybody, and it
is significant that the Radicals are 80
ready to help them. Curious, isn't it,
when then Independents are such Jeffer-
sonian and staunch Democrats! Let
South Carolina put down every man
who bolts the party, for it is certain that
Radicals would not vote for simon-pure
Democrats, and the mere fact of their
voting for Independents tells exactly
what the so-called Democrats are. Some
Eof. the North Carolina papers were SO
determined to win that they advised
Committees to be formed to see that every
Democrat voted, and to haul those una
BILE to walk to the polls. Let South
Carolina note: anything to beat Rads !
Everything is quiet here, as this is va
cation. After September 18th, however,
when the College opens there will be life
enough. Davidson College is said by
Prof. Gildersleeve, Of Johns-Hopkins
University, to be the best College in the
South. 1t has now Preparatory De-
partment, taught by the College Profes-
sors, and affords an excellent opportunity
to any one to prepare for College,

- It is known in Washington that
shortly before the separation of General
Bristow from General Grants Cabinet
there arose the bitterest feeling between
the two, It is now positively asserted
that General Grant, before he sailed for
Europe, placed in the hands of friend
certain papers to the prejudice of Bristow,
to be used only in case the latter's name
was sent to the Senate in connection with
any Office, and that this is the reason MIR.
Hayes has never offered Bristow an Office,
The story has o doubtful look.

81 The New York Herald, true to its rep
fltation, IS shifting ground about the third
term question, without taking hold Of it,
for oz against Grant, with an evident de-
are to ascertain whether he will be the
next President or not before it commits
itself on the propriety of; his canvass in
1880 for q third election to the presi-
Sdeney. The Herald was the staunchest
8 opponent. Of the third term two yeara
ago, and 1t is q little amusing to, see how
il is preparing to advocate the same doc
trine it opposed, if it becomes convinced
; that Grant Is to be reelected President
ii 1880. The. Herald now says that its
opposition Is to three consecutive terms,
snd that it secs no;reason why a Presi-
Gent should not be reelected for any
number Of terms, provided such terms
are not consecutive, for; the e1-President
could not use the appointing power in
such cases to re.elect himself. This is
not the position. Of the fathers of the
republic ON this question: From the
revolution down to the recent war there
;sisss never q President VINO thought Of,
sscr would have consented to, third term,
and the fact that General Grant through
his friends is seeking to secure a third
term as President, against all of the
presidents Of, former Presidents, shows
that he is an unworthy and dangerous
public servant. 1T istrue he pretends to
desire to keep out of politics in the fu-
tare, but this is only intended to induce
gthe country to believe that the people are
forcing him to run, while as matter of
fact he has, his agents zealously working
tS secure his nomination. The New
YORK Herald did yaliant service to pre-
;zyent1lhis: nomination in 1876, and If it
wishes 10 serve the republic 1t should
continue TO oppose Gen. Grant, for he is
the most dangerous man to the cause of
! fee government that exists in America.
Yhe return of Gen. Grant to the ruler
Ssship of fthe nation will mean the destruc-
stionsof liberty and the Capitalization of
I the government. The friends of the
union Of our fathers will rally through
,out tile whole land in the next election,
and If: Gen. Grant should be the candi-
date Republicanism will; we believe, be
utterly overwhelmed. ~

The first affidavit sent on from South
