The Iatsuigsncer this evening publishes what It
Claims statement of the views Of President Hayes
ON the Virginia debt to its editor Colonel
John r. Popham. during his recent visit to
Washington. The President said .--"I have nothing
to conceal withhold from any one,
and prefer that my position should be
known to all. do not assume to command or con-
troll the votes OF the republicans of Virginia. nor do
I seek In despotic way to influence tho action of
federal officers. Yet would be much surprised IL
tho republicans should ally themselves with the re-
adjusters In your State They should not counto.
nance or encourage or touch any proposition pro-
ject whatever that contains even tho germ Of repu-
distion. They must not sacrifice the great princi-
plo involved in the payment of the honest debts of
Virginia. even though to do so would result In
some transient advantage over their adversarics
This Is not question of to-day. but Of all time

HE APPOINTMENT Of conservative Ministry
Tor Quebec, as announced in our dispatches,
will have quieting effect on the politics of the
province. When Mr.. Lctcler dismissed his
Cabinet, which represented the majority in the
House, and called the minority into power, his
action was the signal for struggle which,
though fercely waged ever since, could have
only one resut-the ultimate overthrow of Mr..
Jolly. Now that the majority in the Legislature
more hold the rcins of government we may
look for steady Improvement in affairs and
decided advancement of the best interests of the
province Mr. Chaplain has grand oppor-
tunity and can well afford to be magnanimous.
TuE WEATHER--The influence of the storm
rcntre that has done 80 much damage over Nova
Scotia has now almost entirely passed away and
the pressure is increasing rapidly. The centre
of highest barometer is still over the Missouri
Valley. Snow is reported in the upper lake dis

Fifty Per Cent. Above Par.

The extract below tells in stronger lam
cuare than we can command how the toll
ing farmers have contributed to the prince
" wealth of the officers and share
holders of the phosphate monopolies.
The paragraph occurs in the local COL
lumns of the Charleston Ncws and Cou-
ricr. in notice Of an advertisement of
phosphate rock for sale:
"The Atlantic Company was organized
early, with a paid up capital Of 5000, 900.
An admirable site was chosen, and the
company succeeded in competing success
fully with Northern factors, while annu-
ally reducing the selling price of its
manufactures. The Atlantic Phosphate
Company has il the past six years aver
aged over 90 per cent. dividends to the
stockholders, and accumulated COM
mercial capital which shows on the books
of the company that each share is worth
over so per cent. more than its par val
ue. This arises from the ability with
which it has been managed, and the Sc
curing at once of ample cash capital"
There are few investments that have
for the past six years averaged 20 per
cent profit, and no farmer ever expects
half that amount. Many who have
worked hard to pay for fertilizers from
year to year, arc poorer now than they
were when they began six years ago.
Yet to resist the exobitant demands OF
these exacting taskmasters who have
conspired to enrich themselves at the
cost of the farmer is in the language OF
our Charleston contemporary, to follow
the leadership OF Kearney and B. F. But
Ter, and to become the "enemies of order
decency and peace"
The Stono Company offers thirty shares
of stock for sale. This company from
bad management, bad speculative invest
ments, and the want of a paid up capita
to begin with, has not Jared so we'll as the
more fortunate Atlantic. Notwithstand
ing these disasters, however, the Stono i!
still in healthy financial condition, ant
the idea is held out in the notice tina
with the increased price for phosphate
the stock holders will soon reap ricl
harvest in dividends, which have onl,
been delayed by the poor management o
the company's affairs in the past. Blu
here is the notice:
"The Stono Phosphate Company wa
incorporated about the same time as tn,
Atlantic, but the capital stock ofSl7O, ,OO'
was not paid up as promptly; the spccu
lative idea of placing the factory on Cen
trail wharf lost the company about S21
900. After the site on which the work
now stand was purchased, delays occurr
ed which caused The company heav.
losses, not only of money, but most valu
able time. 1t has taken them seyera
years to recover from these early misfor
tunes, but We are informed that the work
of the Stono Company are in good order
the capital of the company intact, an
that by allowing the profits to accumu
late they now have commercial capi
tai over and above the capital paid in c

encouraging to the stockholders VIII

their outlay, and it is hoped hereafte
that regular dividends will be paid b

A Deserted Town.

The only ruined town in the United
States, as far as we known, and certainly
the one which possesses the most singu-
lar history is found on the New Jersey
coast, hidden among the low wooded hills
which stretch back from the beach.
Stopping at little station on the Cen
trail New Jersey Rail Road, the traveller
finds the usual two or three new yellow
wooden buildings; but half mile be-
yond, in the midst of thick woods he
comes upon deserted, empty town.
There are rows of solid..y-built blocks Of
brick dwellings; there are great foun-
dries, and mills, and churches.
The grass grows knee deep in the
streets. Some of the buildings have
crumbled into ruin, and are bedded in
moss, bu. the walls of most of them are
standing. In the vacant rooms of the
unroofed houses, trees, have grown, and
rank weeds Aaunt gayly, while the Amer
ican ivy climbs up to the top of gigantic
chimneys, which used to belch forth vol
umes of fire and smoke, and waves its
crimson banner in triumph.
Ildll QULCH ISUDlCIS iailiIICo law
found shelter in the best of the old bull
dings, but their presence only seems to
make the solitude more apparent. The
town is enclosed in fence, and rusty
gate creaks on its hinges to admit the
curious visitor.
The story told BY the superstitious
neighbors, to account for iron works in a
lonely district where there was neither
ore, fuel, q market, or means oftranspor-
tation, is that the works were a mere
shield for the operations of the noted
pirate, Gibbs, and his gang, who used
them as place of deposit, coming and
going in the boats which brought the
ore up the inlet to the town. They al
legc that on the very day, forty years
ago, when Gibbs was hung, the works
closed, and the buildings have stood
unused ever since.
Unfortunately for the truth of the ro-
mantle story. the town belongs TO very
respectable family, whose estate has been
in litigation for many years-a sufficient
clue, probably to all mysteries.

The Easley, BeltOn ard WILLIAMSON
Railroad.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

An informal meeting of the corpora
tors of this road was held at Easley on
the 2lst inst. After full and free in
terchange of views on the present state
and future prospects of the road, it was
unanimously resolved to press forward in
the prosecution of the enterprise, as the
means may afforded by generous and
enterprising community. The cry Of
hard times was not considered a sufficient
reason for delay. The way to make times
easier and livelier is to push forward all
enterprises of public nature. In this
way, dormant capital will be put ahoat,
labor will be in demand, home market
will be created for farm products, and
thus in many ways will the whole COM
munity be benefited. Mcssrs. Bradley,
Childs, and McFall were in attendance
from Pickens, and inspired the meeting
by their jealous counsels. 1t is believed
that Pickens G. ii. township will furnish
the means for the grading Of the road
from Easley to that point. Two gentle
men have stated that they will subscribe
thousand dollars each to the enterprise,
provided the road goes by Pickens c. II.
The President Of the Corporators, Hon.
r. L. Bowen, was directed to confer with
each of the corporators along the proposed
line, to ascertain during the month of
March the amount Of subscriptions which
may be relied upon from each township.
If, at the expiration of the month, suf-
ficient amount has been subscribed to
organize under the charter, then he is to
call meeting of the stock holders, as
early as practicable, at Williamson, for
the organization of the company. With
the company fully organized, We will
then be in condition to push the enter
prise as fast as practicable. Let the cor
porators 30 to work at once, and get up
the subscriptions. Five thousand dollars
to each township will make double the
amount necessary to organize under the
charter, but not more than enough to
secure the grading of the road to Pick
ems. Offers have already been made from
reliable companies of the iron for the
track; and one of the competing compa.
nics proposes to take part payment in
stock. Whenever the work commences
tho success Of the road is assured VIZ

A Valuable Suggestion.

1t is easy to arrest the course of the
strcamlct among its native hills. But
when it has flowed downward into the
valley and been multiplied by 4 hun
dred brooks, it is difficult and some
times impossible task to arrest the mad
torrent of waters. Thus it is with dis
ease. In its earliest stages, when the
patient notes the first symptoms of its
presence (often indicated only by a sense
of languor, drowsincss, or slight head
ache), it is easy to arrest its progress
and secure relief. But when, through
carclcssness or neglect, is allowed 10 dc.
vclop, complications are apt to set in and
it is no easy task TO arrest it. Our grand
mothers taught their daughters that
"a stitch in time saves nine" A pill in
time saves not only nine, but ofttimcs
an incalculable amount of suffering as
well. 1t tile system DC kept thoroughly
cleanscd and strengthened, it is almost
invulncrablc to disease. When the first
symptoms of disease appear, two of Dr.
Piercc's Purgative Pellets, and a few
doses of the Golden Medical Discovery
to cleanse the blood, will. in almost eve
ry instance, arrest the progress of dis
ease and expel it from the system. Those
who have used them are the loudcst IL
in their praise. Their reputation is gen
uine, depending upon their merits alone

FIGHTING A TARANTULA.-Texa

FIGHTING A TARANTULA.-Texas
natural history is not without novelties
for the scientific or the curious readers
of more northern climes. Among them
is horned frog, which inhabits the prai-
ries west of the Trinity; from the tip
of the broad nose arises q cimeter-like
horn, sharp as knife point, and on
which, if you happen to step with the
naked foot, in puddle of water pain
full wound is received. Not infrequent-
ly has the otherwise harmless little ami
NAL been forwarded to Northern mu
seums as curiosity. But it isn't equal
to another Texas creature-the taran-
tula. He is the desperate of the spider
family; frequently attains the size of the
hand, and with its great, glaring, black
eyes and frightful claws, seldom fails to
present an appearance so formidable that
sensitive lady, even if used to seeing
the tarantula, will scream at the sight.
The tarantula is, in fact, only big spi-
der, and usually makes his home in the
open prairie, dwelling with his family in
nest concealed beneath the tall grass.
If you tackle him in his retreat you will
very soon repent your temerity, for he
springs at you like tiger, jumping to an
astonishing height-sometimes three or
four feet. He is one of the most poison
Gus of the family of the arachna, and his
bite is said to be more fatal than that of
the rattlesnake. In a sediment called
Grapevine Prairie, near Fort Worth,
some time ago, the son of q farmer nam
ed Featherstone was one day occupied
gathering rocks on the roadside. Upon
overturning large fiat rock he was sud
denly confronted by large tarantula the
size of a man. hand, snugly ensconced
in his nest along with number of young
tarantulas. The big one was yellow and
black striped, and displayed the same
inimi!able colors that nature bestows
upon the "beautiful snake" Selling 4
good stick, Master Featherstone attacked
the enemy in his stronghold, and was
met with an unexpected resistance. He
succeeded in breaking off one leg, or ra-
ther claw, of the devil-fsh of dry land !;
but the tarantula, enraged, sprang upon
the aggressor, and quick as thought, with
his great black eyes glittering with
iendish ferocity, fastened himself on the
boys hand and arm. Before he could be
dislodge the tarantula had inflicted two
probably fatal bites on the hand and arm,
both of which subsequently swclled to
three times their natural siZe-so viru-
lent is the poison of this desperate of
the prairies. The boy, however, succeed
ed in killing the tarantula.-7srds Cores
