Worry BADLY MIXED.


We recently published the facts in the
case of the discovery that a person who
had been known to the people there as
"Charlie Ward" was in reality woman,
and that she was the wife of a man
named Alfred Painton, whose leg had
been broken during a fight with sup
posed brother of the woman, named John
Ward. This case is again brought to
public notice by the fact that yesterday
Painton, who is in the General Hospital
there, was visited by woman and three
children, the former recognizing him i'm
mediately as her long-lost husband, while
the children recognized him as their
father. Painton's wife No. 2 (the wo-
man who wore the mems clothes) still
sticks to him, however, and does not pro-
pose to give him up without a struggle.
Wife No. l wanted him to return with
her to their old home in Pennsylvania.
Painton will probably be taken in Gus
tody for bigamy as soon as be is dis
charged from the hospital.

The London Times and tho Oboe
Player.
[The Athen8um.1 ]


An amusing story is current, which,
whether correct or not, illustrates the su-
preme Importance Delane attached to
politics. A critic in the Times, noticing
performance at Covent Garden, COM
planned bitterly Of an oboe player whose
shortcomings had, he said, been conspic-
uous. The oboe player wrote to COM
plain, and Mr.. Delane sent for Mr.. Ok
enford-in those days music was subordi-
mated to the drama in the Times ar
rangements-and addressed him in a
style which may remind our readers of a
welEknown scene in "Rabelais:" "Ihave
no doubt your assistant has been per-
fectly correct in what he says, but such
and such events are happening'-men-
tioning political occurrences in various
quarters of the globe-"and all these
the Times has to settle. We can not have
our attention called off at such crisis to
the complaints Of an oboe player. l beg,
therefore, that nothing Of this kind may
occur again"

Cool WILL BETWEEN THE People OF THE

so to the people of South Carolina upon the
above subject. God knows we do so in no spirit
of dictation but simply as citizen having moth
ing to ask and nothing to seek but peace aud
good will between oil classes and sections of our
fellow-cItizens and of the State we own and
cherish as q common mother We fear our un-
ofhce-seeking people are losing sight of the
common good in the personal partisauship we
are indulging in in some localities. To shout
for this or that man is catching, and depraving
as we'll. We may in the end lose sight of South
Carolinn and our supreme welfare in the angry
personal broils into which we may fall. Wearc
the best of us but human, and when the feeling
