Fence Law,

Editor Orange6ury Democrat:
The fence law is creating quite G
sensation and I fear it will be the
means Of dividing the Democratic par.
ty, for the poor must stand togcthe,
or be engulfed by tho rich. My op-
ponent, "Edisto," thinks no one
should be allowed q voice in so grave
question unless be be land owner.
| would remind my friend "Edisto'
that in order 20 carry out his views he
would have TO get the Legislature to
disfranchisc the poor before his way
could be made clear, and no doubt
many Of "Edisto's" followers would
rejoice at such . law. But l envy
not the rich man, nor would ! care il
he were ten times richer, for then the
poor would have q much better chance.
"Edisto" also refers 10 fencing in
slavery times when rails could be
drawn SO easily by Cutlec f. ON the
forest, and We would infer that it is
his grand objection to fencing now.
| say let every man get his living by
the sweat Of his face as the bread Of q
labOring man is said TO be sweet. l
am in sympathy with all who have
not timber sufficient to keep up their
fencing and would advise ali such
victims to write on and 60 10 wori;
tho right way. There arc too many
broken down farmers who have allow
cd their fencing TO rot down waiting
for the fence law to be abolished.
My friend .'Edisto" thinks that the
law, requiring man TO keep his fence
strictly according 10 its letter cannot
be enforced. | beg to differ with
him, because there cannot be {. law
which the State cannot enforce. "Ed-
isto" seems TO place great stress upon
The mere fact Of owning land as en-
titling the possessor TO complete and
entire control at the exclusion Of all
others; but from the very nature of
Inc casa there can be but one land
owner, who gave this earth TO his
creatures from the beginning to be en-
joyed by all alike. Man is only o
tenant at will and that will is the
will OF God. l would like To know if
"Edisto is Democrat, and if so on
what kind Of coup he was raised?
judge, however, on turtle soup be-
cause he has crawlcd out on land.

The Origin Of the S.

The editor Of the London While
hal Rcvieao at IL dinner recently pro-
pounded the following "What is the
origin of the sign for the American
dollar?' The American consul did
not know. 1t was suggested by one
OF the guests, upon the authority of
"Noles and Queries" that the sign
was a sort of monogram of the United
States, from ~. S." But this would
not do. The American dollar, SAYS
the editor, is taken from the Spanish
dollar, and the sign is to be found, of
course, in the associations Of the
Spanish dollar. We Uttered the ia
bic with books in the course of our
researches, bat proved my point in
the end. On the reverse Of The Span
isi dollar is q representation of the
Pillars OF Hercules, and around each
pillar is scroll, with the inscription,
"PluS ultra." This device in the
course of time has dcgcnerated into
the sign which stands at present for
American rs we'll rs Spanish dollars,
s. The acrol! round the pillars,
take it, represents the two sc:pcnts
sent by Juno to destroy Hercules in
his cradle.

The death Of Jennie Tyler, niece
OF the ex-Prcsident Tyler, was an.
nCunccd on The 18Th inst. Ten years
ago she was one Of the reigning bellies
Of Washington. She possessed also
comfortable fortune. Yesterday
her dead body lay stretched on ia
blc in rickety and sQualid tenement
of Brooklyn, her husband. William
Collins, being too poor to defray the
expenses of her funeral. 1t appears
that she has wealthy relatives in New
York, who refuse to bury her. Jcn-
nio WAS married twice. Her first
husband squandered her money; her
second husband, Collins, was poor
and thrown ont of work. 1t is said
that Jennic's father lives in Harris
burg, Pa, and her sister lives in n
handsome four-story brown stone
house in fashionable locality in
New York. Jennie Tyler was born
