ROwDYIsM IN SPARTANBURG.-L Lately
there have been two dangerous rows among
the negroes of the town. Down below the
Spartanburg and Union depot one man was
severely cut by another, and his life was
despaired of for few days. Another dis
graceful fight took place out on tho Howard
Gap Road, about Bas Weaver's. Three or
four persons, some of them women, took a
part in this. A double -barrelled shot gun,
pistols and a savage dog were the weapons
used very freely. Two or three were wounded
but none seriously. The dog is supposed
to be the most peaceable and law-abiding
member of the families engaged in this row.
We would suggest to Sheriff Thompson to
keep his hiygers handy, for they will be
needed to hang a colorcd brother soon, if
they do not stop their foolishncss. Spar
tan.

SKIN GRAFTING.-The Hartford Post
tells the following story of the experiments
made on a Windham County boy: "On
the 3lst December, 1878, jesse, an eleven
year.old son of Edward Morgan, an infuen-
tial citizen of Canterbury, fell into a shall
low vat containing solution of potash in
boiling water. He struck on both feet, the
liquid coming nearly up to his hips, and
instantly the skin of the legs commenced
to peel off, 1t was found that the flesh on
both legs had been so thoroughly boiled
that no cells remained for new skin to
form a growth upon. The boys life was
one of excruciating agony for months. Last
April young physician determined to at
tempt the salvation of the lads life by skin
grating. The boys parents imploring him
to undertake the operation, he was finally
induced to try it. Over 1000 CRAFTS were
used, the mother of the child, noble hearted
Irish coachman in the family, the lad him
self and many Of the neighbors submitting
portions of their cuticle for the operation.
Hundreds of visitors fockcd to see the pa
tient, and implored the doctor to try piece
of their skins in the operation. The pieces
of flesh were pulled off with forceps, and
we're about three times the size of the head
of pin. The process of grating is similar
to that employed in horticulture. Tho
gratis grow fastest in the Spring months.
One of them is put on q muscle, where it
sinks in and deposits cell, after which the
top sloughs off. Although the work is not
yet complete, the legs are nearly restored
to their normal and natural functions, and
the child can walk q short distance without
crutch, but is still very weak from exhaus-
ton aud emaciation."

CHICKEN CHoLERA.-Mr. w. II. Huff,
one of the most successful poultry breeders
in the State, gives the following as n sure
preventive of that prevalent and very dis
astrous disease known as chicken cholera
viz: "Capsicum, rosin, copperas and sui
phur, in equal weights, thoroughly mixed
Feed in corn meal Dough- tablespoonful
to dozen fowls, to be given daily as long
as there is any appearance of the disease
afterwards, once or twice q week till the in.
fection entirely disappears. A piece OF
coarse cloth saturated with the same prep
aration and spread under the eggs, will pre-.
vent breeding of chicken lice or other yer.
min in nests" Mr.. Huff assures us that
he has never had diseased chicken since
tho introduction of this preparation. 1t is
certainly worth trial, as it is generally a
fatal disease.

A ROMANTIC GIRL OF THE PERIOD
One day last week man at Fort Wayne,
Indiana, employed young man to lay some
carpets. He was handsome voun" man,
%%::..55 romantic cast of mind not at all in
harmony with carpet-laying. He met the
daughter of the house, who also had ro-
mantle streak and an admiration for hand
some young men, which, it seemed, was as
likely to absorb carpet-layer as any one
else. She fell awfully in love with the car
petlayer we are speaking of-or, rather, she
believed she had done so. He fell Just as
awfully in love with her, and, being very
romantic, she didn't take the trouble to in
quirs anything about the carpetlayer. He
was just too beautiful for anything, and SO
romantic, and that was all that was re-
quired to make q good husband. The
young woman agreed to marry him almost on
sight. She did not even say anything to
her father about it, fearing that he might
be willing, and thus Illustrate her romantic
little schemes for an elopement. She had
her tender young heart so set upon sliding
down rope from back window that she
couldn't bear to think Of being disappoin-
ted. Well, of course, she had her own ro-
mantle way about it; the programme was
carried out in charmingly romantic fash
ion and the carpet-layer and the young wo-
man got away to Indianapolis and were
married before the situation of affairs was
suspected. The young woman concluded
it was just lovely Three days after there
was another elopement to which the roman
tic young woman was not party. Her
husband gathered up all her jewelry and
what little money she had and went away
to find another romantic girl to eIope with
The young wife has gone back to her papa,
and very likely in week will be making
arrangements to fall into the clutches of
another good looking carpet layer Ever
so many girls grow up that way.

GLApsroYE's REVIEW OF THE WORK OF Hrs
MINISTRY.

The new Lord Mayor of London gave the Gus
tomary banquet at Guild Hall, on the 9th ultimo.
Nearly one thousand guests attended. Gladstone.
Challomel Lacoeur, the French Ambassador, and
Condostaulos, the Greek Minister, were received
with enthusiastic cheers. The American Minis
ter was also present. Gladstone, in reply to IA
toast to Her M~ajesty's Ministers, said that the
abundant harvest was one fortunate circumstance
for Ireland. 1t would be the duty of the Min
listers to carefully examine the condition of the
law in regard to the wants of Ireland, and If
they found occasion to believe its provisions were
insufficient for the happiness of the people, they
would not scruple to call on Parliament to deal
with the subject in a spirit of equity and justice.
ulepitimate influences are at work in Ireland.
The maintenance of public order is to be con-
sidered before the improvement of the law.
Those who wish to occupy evicted farms are OBJ
structed by menace, intimidation, crime and the
infrinpements of the rights of free citizenship.
Although the Government is anxious to promote
a practicable improvement In the land laws, yet
we recognize as a duty above all Others the duty
of enforcing the law for the purpose of order.
The obligation is incumbent upon us to protect
every citizen in the enjoyment of life and pro-
perty, and it may be that under certain circum-
stances we may be compelled to ask for a certain
increase of power. We will never anticipate
such q contingency, yet if it arises We will not
shrink from the obligations d%eyolving upon US.
Although the Zalu war is ended. yet another

India we have not yet accomplished all we wish
Some portion of Afghanistan has been restored to
a more hopeful condition. We have been able to
diminish by 80, 1000 men the force engaged in
Afghanistan. Referring to the Eastern question,
Gladstone said I" The late Premier justly stated
that If the treaty of Berlin was carried out il
would be very beneficial. and that England
would not shrink from the obligations OF the
treaty. When we came into power we deter
mined to uphold the treaty. We deny that We
are enemies of Turkey on the contrary, We have
pursued a policy by which Turkey may continue
to exist. To Justify that existence two things arr
necessary, the fulfllment of international obliga
tions, and that the condition of Ottoman subjects
be rendered tolerable by equal laws. No pro
gress has yet been made on the great question al
to European concert. We did not wish it to bt

England's Most Progressive Colony.

The Falkland Islands have an area of LOOT, 900
acres. mostly devoted to sheep farming, which has
proved very profitable to the present settlers,
wool being exported from islands that a few years
ago produced nothing but %penguins and sea lions.
1t is only thirteen years (lS67) since the first set
tiers, under Gov. Robinson, landed on West Falk-
land, and already there are many fourishing
g. stations . of sheep and cattle thereon. Some of
the smaller islands have since been taken up by
men with a hundred pounds of capital, and as the
climate is the healthiest in the world the only
wonder is that more Englishmen do not cast their
fortunes in q dependency of Britain where there
is no income tax and where sheep and land may
be obtained on easy terms. Times.
The accounts received from this new and pro-
gressive little colony. are exceedingly interesting.
The Falkland group, has, a somewhat similar area
to the Hawaiian group but has none of the advan-
tages Of regular communications, and vicinity of
good market. as enjoyed by our islands. And its
export is not likely to figure so largely in Pounds,
Shillings, and Pence but we think the Falkland
ers with their short start of thirteen years. are
likely soon to have, if they have not now, a larger
yearly balance to their credit, than we Hawaiians.
The Falklanders are grassing down their islands,
and it is expected will run about three million
sheep, besides engaging in a variety of agricul-
ture. Their average clip is said to be Glib or they
may reasonably produce say 5000, OeOfb of good
wool, that nets there at Port Stanley 1Od or zoe or
So, 500, 900. And deduct a third for production.
a high estimate ; and there will remain in the
pockets of the Falklanders 50, 4OO9 900.
Perhaps sugar is our best product but we will
suppose. that parties of experienced shepherds,
such as have settled around Port Darwin in the
Falklands, or that settled our island of Niihau.
had commenced fifty years ago. to grass down
with Bermuda grass, every plain, bill slope aud
ravine Of this Archipelago, not available
for sugar cane so that there was now
abundant pasture covering over one million of
acres of pastoral surface within this group, we
could be comfortably taking care, in spite of
occasional d~roughts, of two million sheep, which
would now place good solid balances to the credit
of all our land owners. all over the islands,
instead Of the delusive balances on sugar account
admitting however, that the shepherds did not go
into politics.
Always bear in mind the difference between a
twenty thirty or fifty thousand dollars sugar plant
of machinery, and a dollar and a quarter pair of
sheep shears.
