we took a walk over the company =

A remarkable Family.


A South Carolina patriarch is Mr..
VIM. Smoak, of Orangeburg, who
boasts of, perhaps the largest family
in the United States. He is of Ger
man extraction, and, having been
born in 1884, is now in his ninety
seventh year. He has thirteen chill
dren, ten of whom are still living, the
oldest being new 70 years of age and
the youngest 90. These thirteen
children have brought into the world
$50 children, 104 of whom are now
living, and they have had 400
children, of whom S9l are now alive.
There have also been 20 children of
the 4th generationof Mr.. Smoak's de-
scendant's, of whom all but 8 are now
alive. Thus the old man has SIS
living descendants, aRd has also seen
1I6 others, who are now dead. The
most remarkable feature of the case
is the fact that both the old man and
his wife lived to see their thirteenth
and youngest child grandmother.
The entire family have been in the
community where they now live for
sixty years, and there has never been
a criminal or drunkard among
them.

The Republicans have carried every
Northern State except New Jersey,
and that is Democratic by greatly in
creased majority. The Democrats have
been badly beaten. They have suffered
a complete Waterloo defeat. The "solid

more sternly defined to-day than they
were in 1860.
This defeat, 80 disappointing to those
who bad hoped for homes. administered

is the rOsglt Of an appeal 10 sectional

A yERY SAD AVYlIz.
A Nice YSuns MAN who was AmSashsd by
- syringe.


A RockIand young man until quite
recently was courting fat girl at the
north end and had progressed very "a
vsrably with bis suit. One evening
last week he dressed up in his best
clothes, carefully conbed his hair, and
started out to make bis tri-weekly visit
to bis fair one, who WAS waiting in the
parlor with fond expectation in her
heart and cold in her head, superin-
duced by the flnctuating weather. This
was, you might say, the prologue to the
tragedy. 1t appears, moreover, that the
fat girls fatber--wbo is worth many
thousand dollars in good sensible bonds,
and as consequences Is an object Of the
young mans tender rcgard--had for
several nights previous been the victim
Of some unknown miscreant who had
raided on his hen pen with disastrous
effect. Sick Of such foolishness, he had
prepared 4 CHASTITY retribution for the
fowl villains, and to this end had filed
a big garden syringe with Ibout a gal
Ion Of ancient beef brine, seasoned with
garlic and favored with assafoetida, and
was lying in ambush behind box,
where he could sweep every approach
to the hennery. The young man, who
is pretty well acquainted with the
whole family, thought he would sur
prise his girl by entering the house us-
expectedly by the back way.
Gaily up the back yard the young
man comes. Silently in ambush the
old man lies. Cbeerily the fat girl
warbles. Quiet, but awful, is ths syr-
inge. In the uncertain light of early
evening the old man sees figure
stealthily drawing near his guarded
pen. With bated breath he waits the
onslaught. The syringe sounds its
dreadful "wh-s-sp" and its dreadful con-
tents fy through the air like wild
and mad avenger. A yell that tore the
azure robe Of night, fairly knocked the
fat girl off the piano stool and curdlei
the old mans blood, followed the dis
charge, and when the neighbors rushet
in, under the impression that the Grant
boom had burst right in the neighbsr
hood, they found the unfortunate youn,
man paving madIy around on tn
ground, and screaming out awful Mex
can words terrible to hear, while th
old man hovered over the scene with
syringe in his hands, looking like a
animated figure escaped from an all'
CORY. Sympathizing arms bore tn
young man iLto the house, after the
owners had stopped their nostrils wit
cotton, and it REQUIRED the cambins
efforts Of the fat girl and eight frisn.

sat alone with my conscience,
In q place whore time had ceased,
And We talked Of my former living
In a place whore the years increased,
And l felt should have to answer
The question Il put to mo,
And to faco and answer the question
Throughout an eternity.
Tie ghosts Of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that thought were dead thlnEs
Were alive with terrible might;
And tho vision of all my past life
Was an awful thing TO faco,
Alone with my conscience sitting
III that solemnly silent place.
And thought Of y far-away warming
OF sorrew that was to DO mine
In LAM that then was tho future,
But now was the present time,
And thought Of my former thinking
Ofa judgment day 10 be;
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed Judgment enough for me.
And wondered If there was future

but no enc gave me an answer
And no ono came 70 save.
Then felt that tho future was pres, nt,
And tho present would never 60 by,
For II was but the ia ought OF my past life
Crown into eternity.
Then woke from my timely dreaming,
Aud th0 vision passed away,
Aud knew the far.away warning
Was . warning OF yesterday.
And pray that I may not forget Il
In this land before tho grave.
That ! may not cry In the future
And no one como 70 save.
And 50 have learned lesson,
Which ought 70 have known before,
And which, though learned II dreaming,
] hopO to forget no more.
So cit alone with my conscience.
In the place where the years increase,
And try TO remember the future
In the land where time will cease.
And know Of the future Judgment,
How dreadful 30 e'eF It bo,
That TO sit alone with my conscience
