laborers were getting 81 per day and carpenters
from $3.50 to $3.50 per day, which are about the
regular rates now paid in this District. Painters
are also getting the regular union rates.

AFLoRIDA SINK HoLE.-Last Thurs
day it was discovered that a sink hole had
formed on the telegraph road between
here and Fort Meade, about ten miles
from here. The road ran near about
through the centre of the sink, which is
about forty feet in diameter and as round
as a circle. A pine tree, fully seventy
feet high, that stood by the road, went
down, and its top is few feet below the
surface of the ground. The sink has filled
up to within six or seven feet of the sur
face of the surrounding ground with wa
ter, out of which the tree top stands some
three feet. There seems to have been
sinking also of the surrounding ground
for distance of fifty yards all around the
margin of the hole. The water which
has appeared in the sink is of deep azure
color and very clear. This is not the
first sink that has occurred in this region,
which is noted for the number of its beau
tiful lakes, within the last few years, an
other one having formed few years ago,
about mile from this one. On account
of the light rainfall since last autumn the
lakes in that region are getting low, and
it is supposed that the water support to
the vault of some subterranean passage
from the nearest lake being no longer
present, the earth gave way and dropped
into the subteranean vacuum.-7dmpa,

A MAN-EATING HoRsE.-We have in
formation of a terrible affray which oc-
Cured in Anderson County last Tuesday
with vicious horse. John Coward, the
young son of the widow Coward, and a
member of the mercantile firm of Worth
ington & Coward, went into the stable
where there was an old family horse,
which had been known to be always as
gentle as dog. Suddenly the beast was
seized with fitof viciousness, and pitched
upon young Coward. Before he could get
away from the ferocious animal he was
almost literally eaten up. The horse had
bitten almost all the muscles and flesh
loose from both arms above the elbow;
had also bitten him furiously in the sides,
on the hips and other places. DR.. Cow
ard, uncle of the young man, was sum-
moned and gave all the surgical assist
ance and relief possible, but the wounds
were of very dangerous and serious ma
ture, and it was feared he could not sur
vive. A negro boy went into the same
horse afterward and was also set upon by
it and pretty roughly used, and it was
with difficulty he was rescued. The
horse was never known to be vicious be-
fore, and its conduct could not be ex-
planned. Young Coward wanted it kill
ed, but nothing was done about it. The
horse seemed finally to get over the spell
and was taken out and worked in the
plow the same day.-Knorvills Chroni-

TRUE FARMING.-The true farmer is
he who raises big crops and at the same
time improve his land; who understands
his business, attends to it and does it;
whose stock are of the best and in the
best condition; whose fences are always
in good repair whose farm buildings are
commodious and neat; whose dwelling
has the appearance of the home of civil
lied people; whose corn crib and smoke
house are full of corn and meat raised
by himself; who is surrounded by all the
necessaries and comforts of life; who
studies his profession and strives to
reach the perfection of farm economy.

prevent violence in the conduct of State
elections and unlawful to do 30 in the
conduct of national elections. Upon
this point the report says: "The common
sense of the country understands that all
elections in State, whether for members
of Congress or local officers, are by the
same electors, and those electors derive
their right to vote, as was decided by the
Supreme Court in the case of Miner VS..
Huppensett, 81 Wallace, ITO, from the
State and not from the United States.
1t is, therefore, as much the power and
duty of the State government to main
tain peace and order at elections for
Congressman as at elections for State
officers"
In conclusion, the report sums up with
the reiterated statements that the Federal
government has not, and cannot derive
from Congress, any right to preserve the
peace in State, either at the polls or
elsewhere, unless called upon by the
proper State authorities, and that it is
difficult to see how distinct reservation
to the President of the power to suppress
insurrection against State, when prop
erly called on, can be said to derogate
from the authority of the United States:
The report closes with the request Of
the committee to be discharged from the
further consideration of the subject.

The Meanest Man in the World.

Of all the mean characters that have
come under our observation, the mean
est of all is the dyspeptic cynic, to whom
grumbling has become second nature.
The weather is always too hot or dry; the
meat is too rare or too thoroughly cook
ed, too fat or too lean-in short, he
grumbles about every thing from his
coffee to Congress. He is always in want
of something he has not, and forever dis
contented with whatever he has. Con-
trariuess is his distinguishing trait. If
his wife desires to spend the evening
with friend he insists upon staying at
home. He warns all his bachelor friends
to beware of matrimony. His brain is
so full of whims and crotchets, there is
little room for reason or sense. But the
dyspeptic cynic reaches the acme of dis
agreeableness when diseased liver has
supplemented the grumbliDg by hypoch-
ondria. Then the slightest unpleasant
circumstance is magniied into something
momentous and terrible. The victim be-
comes distrustful of his best friends, and
all sorts of imaginary evils haunt the
weakened brain. This picture is not
overdrawn, as thousands of homes can
attest-homes in which domestic happi-
ness and harmony have been wrecked by
nothing more than a dyspeptic and
chronic disease of the liver. Given q
sound stomach and healthful liver and
the results will almost invariably be
healthful temper. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are unfailing remedies for
all chronic diseases of the stomach and
liver. Druggists mark them as the most
popular domestic remedies on their list.

THE REASON Somebody "a
crusty old bachelor, of course - inquiries,
Why, when Eve was manufactured of a
spare rib, a servant was not made at the
same time to wait on her.
Somebody else-e woman, We imagine
replies in the following strain: Be-
cause Adam never came whining to Eve
with a ragged stocking to be darned, COL
lar string to be sewed on, or q glove to
mend fright away-quick newP Because
he never read the newspaper until the
sun got down behind the palm trees, and
stretching out, yawned, isn't supper most
ready, my dearF Not he. He made the
fire and hung the kettle on it himself,
we'll venture; and pulled the radishes,
peeled the potatoes, and did everything
else he ought to do. He MIXED the COWS,
fed the chickens, and looked after the
pigs himself, and he never brought home
half dozen friends to dinner when Eve
hadn't any fresh pomegranates. He never
staid out late at political meeting, hur-
rahing for an out-and-out candidate, and
then scolding because poor Eve was sit
ting up and crying inside the gates. He
never played billiards, rolled ten-pins and
drove fast horses, nor choked Eve with
cigar smoke. He never loafed around
corner groceries while Eve was rocking
little Gains cradle at home. In short, he
didn't think she was especially created
for the purpose of waiting on him, and
wasn't under the impression that it dis
graced man to tighten new wife's cares
little. That is the reason that Eve did
not need q hired girl, and with it was the
reason that her fair descendants did," q

NOT AsHAMED.-The New York 1ri-
bune having in an evil moment remarked:
''It should be understood that we are not
ashamed of our past" the Louisville
Comier.Journal hits it thus between the
eyes: ave suppose not. The stealing of
So, ,000,0 900 from poor, defenseless negroes
is nothing to be ashamed of, of course.
Neither is the plunder of Southern whites,
the disfranchisement, again and again
accomplished, of Democratic voters any
thing to be ashamed of, of course. Nor
do we suppose the Republican party is
ashamed of the enormous crime Of steal
ing the presidency, and its habitual use
of fraud, perjury and force in 1876-'77; (;
nor is it ashamed of its bold robbery of
the public funds; its enormous waste of
the public money, wrenched from the
tax payers by grinding taxation, on po.
litical favorites. Nor is it ashamed of
the scrubby, and dishonest and drunken
officials it has put in Office; of the hide
Gus corruption it has fostered everywhere,
nor of its dishonest and anti-republican
programme for 1880. The Republican
party has passed beyond the feeling of
shame. 1t is the embodiment of mere
tricious cheek"

The True Code Of Honor.

The Rev. Prof. Dorsh, ex-President of
Roanoke College, Salem, Va, preached
the Baccalaureate sermon before the stu
dents of that institution June 9. The
topic discussed was, "The True
Transformation of Character" and in
conclusion Prof. Dosh said:
"This is the record of the covenant OF
Jesus, who when he was reviled reviled
not, when he suffered he threatened not,
but committed himself to Him who judg-
eth righteously. Would that this fact
and these words were written on the
hearts of all the young men of our land,
that they might be governed by the true
code of honor as exemplifed by Jesus
Christ, instead of the diabolical counter
felt which seeks revenge for wounded
pride in brothers blood. This exam
ple of Christ should be followed, and not
that of the man who appeals to arms to
vindicate insulted honor, too often the
mere fgment of his own imperious pride
and self-assertion. Can we justify the
crimes committed in the name of honor,
falsely 80 called? Should not the Chris
tian sentiment of this land place under
the ban of gentility, morality and religion
the too frequent appeals of late to the as
sassin's skill and the bravo's desperation
Shall q false sentiment still mislead our
young men and even our boys, and allow
them to sacrifice all that they should
love, and violate their consciences rather
than brave the taunts of fools? Who is
the truly brave mamie who forgives an
injury or he who seeks revenge? he who
gives challenge or he who has the
courage to decline it as the assassin's
refuge? He is truly brave who dares
do right at all hazards. He is the cow
ard who will brave the wrath of God
to escape the sneers that really brave
man will despise. 4,

Death of Gen. James Shields.

The history of Gen. James Shields who
recently died suddenly in the city of Of
tawa, Iowa, presents the grandest illus
tration of the attainments possible under
our free institutions, and it would be well
for the Republic if all who gain its hon
ors could wear them. He was born at
Dungannon, Tyrone County, Ireland, in
1910, and emigrated to America in 1926.
He pursued his studies till 1882, when he
went to Illinois and commenced to prac-
tice law at Kaskaskia. In 1886 he en-
tered the Legislature became Auditor
of the State in 1889; was chosen Judge
of the Supreme Court in 1913; appoin-
ted Commissioner of the Land Office by
Polk in 1845; served as lieutenant in the
Florida war; appointed by President
Polk Brigadier General q. s. A. in
1916 and served with great distinction in
the Mexican war, and for his distinguish
ed services in the battle of Cerro Gordo,
in which he was dangerously wounded,
ne was breveted Major General, and was
also severely wounded in the battle of
Chapultepec. In 184S he was appointed
Governor of Oregon Territory, which he
resigned. In 1910 he was elected to the
United States Senate by the Illinois Leg
islature over Sidney Breese, the then
Democratic Senator, but was rejected by
the Senate as ineligible, because of some
defect in his naturalization. He was re-
elected by the same Legislature and ad-
mitted to the Senate, where he served six
years. Subsequently he took up his resi-
dence in the Territory of Minnesota, and
was elected one of the first United States
Senators by the Legislature of that State
and served the short term of two years
from 1858 to 1860. At the end of his
term he went to California and became
on the 18th of August, 1861, Brigadier
General of Volunteers in the Union Ar
my, and on the death of General Lander
was assigned to his command. He gained
the battle of Winchester, March 23rd, in
the movements preparatory to which ION
the 23rd) he was severely wounded.
At the battle of Port Republic June 9,
1862, he was worsted by Gen. T. j. Jack
son. Retiring from military service De-
cause of disabling wounds, since ther. he
has been resident of Missouri, and at
times in such severely straitened circum-
stances as to require him to pledge his
sword, presented to him for.distinguished
services in the war, for his necessities.
In January, 1879, he was again chosen to
United States Senate by the Legislature
of Missouri to serve the unexpired term,
ending on the 4th of last March, being
one of the most remarkable things that
, has transpired in the history of this coun-
try. He is the only man who has repre-
Sented two States in the United States
Senate since the formation of the govern
ment, and when he entered the Senate to
represent Missouri it was the third State
that had chosen him IS its highest legis.
lator. At the time of his death General
Shields was agent for Missouri in the col
lection of her pension claims.
