THE RADICALS NET.

Bolivcr, Mackuy, Taft & Co..
had fixed up Il meeting at
1T. Motto on Saturday, at which they
expected to have Il nice time all to
themselves, poisoning the minds of
the colorcd people against the whites
i'll order that they might regain or
retain Office TO themselves. Things
however did not turn out us they
wished. The Democrats headed bv
Col. Haskell, Gen. Izlar, Mr.. Jrrvcv
and Capt. Wannama!icr came up just
rs their little side show commenced
and requested Il division Of time.
Then comes the Quandary? To let
the Democrats speak would spoil
their game: but to refuse would be so
glaring buckdown that it would
hurt worse than the speaking? SO
after some hesitation, and with great
reluctance, they consented, on the dis
advantageous condition to the Demo
Gratis of allowing them only one hour,
and the Republicans to have the re-
ply.
Out of the enormous colorcd vot
ing population Of TT. Motto and
St Matthews, not more than 800
colorcd people were present
Bolivcr, the Everlasting. was. Tie
first speaker. He had evidently
modulatcd his tone considerably
since his Orangcburg cttuson, and
his speech was mild affair.
Col. John G. Haskell and Capt
ST. Julien Jcrvcy then ma lie speeches
ON the Democratic side showing to
the colorcd people present, who were
very unwilling hearers. the benefits
which they were enjoying under
Democratic rule in better schools
and material prosperity which they
did not receive under Radicalism,
and setting forth in their limited
time rs many Democratic truths as
they could.

The Seven Bibles of the World.

The seven Bibles of the world are the
Koran of the Mohammedans, the Eddas
of the Scandinavians, the Try Pitkes OF
the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the Chi
nese, the three Wedas of the Hindoos,
the Zendavesta, and the Scriptures of
the Christians. The Koran Is the most
recent of these seven Bibles, and not
older than the seventh century of u
era. 1t is a compound of quotations
from the Old and New Testaments, the
Talmud, and the Gospel of st. Barna-
bas. The Eddas of the Scandinavians
were first published in the fourteenth
century. The Pitikes of the Buddhists
contain sublime morals and pure aspira-
tons, but their author lived and died in
the sixth century before Christ. There
is nothing of excellence in these sacred
books not found in the Bible. The
sacred writings of the Chinese are called
the Five Kings, liking" meaning web
of cloth or the warp that keeps the
threads in their place. They contain the
best sayings of the best sages on the
ethico-polit1cal duties of life. These
sayings cannot be traced to a period
higher than the eleventh century B. G.
The three Vedas are the most ancient
books of the Hindoos, and it is the
opinion of Max Muller, Wilson, john
son and Whitney that they are not older
than eleven centuries B. @. The Zent
davesta of the Persians is the grandes,
of all the sacred books next to u Bible
Zoroaster, whose sayings it contains
WA born in the twelfth centuryB B. G.
Moses lived and wrote his Pentateuch
fifteen centuries B. c., and, therefore,
has a clear margin of 300 years Older
than the most ancient of the other sac.
red writings. 9

ainruInr murder.

Twenty miles above Muskegee, I. T., 3 white
man, name unknown, occupies house with his
daughter On Perryman's farm. A man nam ed
Church, acting Postmaster at Toulouse, near
the scene of the murder, was riding past the
house, when the daughter came out and called
to him. He hailed for her to come up, and as
soon as she did SO she drew a pistol and fred
twice. The first ball struck Church in the left
breast, passing through his heart. The second
broke his shoulder-blade. He died sitting on
his horse, and it was some moments before 1
movement of the animal caused the corpse to
fall into the road. The girl returned to the
house after the shooting, where the body was
taken when found by some passers-by. The
crime was not denied by either the girl or her
father, though the former said her father
placed the pistol in her hand and told her to go
and shoot that man, and she obeyed hin. The
parties afterward attempted to escape by taking
to the Arkansas River, but were captured, and
are now in the hands of the officers. No motive
for the crime j giyen.

Walkinp.StickS.

Walking-sticks for ladies, says the
London Globe, so we are told by an Or
acle OF, fashion, are coming into favor
again. Thus does the whirligig of time
bring round his revenge for a discarded
custom. The Empress Eugene made
the carrying of canes fashionable for
her sex during the gay days of the sec
ond empire. But back in another cent
ury we find the women as appreciative
of the walking-stick as ever was
Sir Plume, of amber SNUFF box justly vain,
And the nice conduct of a clouded cane. ;ga
Ladies' advanced in life walked with a
staff between five and six feet in height,
taper and slender In substance, turned
over in the upper end in the manner of
a shepherds crook, and "twisted
throughout the whole extent" Some
times these wards were formed OF a pale
green glass, but oftener of wood, ivory,
or whalebone. A writer of1762, speak
ing of the most fashionable sticks of this
period, says "Do not some of Is start
about with walking-sticks as long as
hickory poles, or else with a yafd of
vanished cane scaped taper, and bound
at one end with a waxed thread, and the
other tipped with a neat ivory head as
big as'a silver penny? ?" 1t is, indeed,
as an appearance of fashion more than
as an appendage of personal utility that
we regard the walking-sticks of. modern
times, though in all ages man has made

support under WEAKNESS and old age.

The official figures show a total population in
Charleston, s. c., of 50,043, a gain of LOST
since 1870, which is equal to 2 1-5 per cent.
One of the Supervisors of a N interior district
furnishes the official figures of ten counties
showing a gain of AZ per cent. Upon this sub
ject, the Charleston Ne,os and Courier, MOTTO
ing the charges Of fraud in the Northern press,
says: "Nobody in South Carolina objects to
a recount. There is entire confidence in the
substantial accuracy of the census just taken,
and there is no desire to have credit or obtain
representation in Congress for a larger popula-
ton than the State has. 1t will be q crying
shame, however, if the recount is to be made
at the expense of the present Supervisors, and
enumerators. They can be punished severly if
they have stuffed the census, but It'll indefensi-
BILE to cut OF their pay for the benefit of a
second set Of officers, unless it shall be proved
that they who have already done the work have
been negligent or unfaithful. The conspiracy
to defraud by a miscount, if it exist anywhere,
is in the proposal to take the census over
again"

Light. Mo-. Noise.

One of the members of the bar inSara-
toga, who thoroughly enjoys a good joke,
relates the following, and applies the
moral to himself: He was counsel In a
case before Judge Pratt, referee, and
during the progress of the trial became
a little bit noisy, as he sometimes does,
when the Judge looked up and said to
him: "Mr. -, did you ever hear of
the manwho was lost in the woods during
a thunder storms" On being answered
in the negative, the Judge continued:
ga man, in attempting to pass through a
piece of woods, lost his way, and. while
he was in that predicament a fearful
thunder storm came up. The woods
grew awfully dark. The roaring of the
wind and the crashing of the thunder
were terrific. The man was frightened
and started to pray, but, not being used
to that business, said: ooh, Lord, give us
a little more light, and a little less noisel'
I don't lei you, Mr.. -" added
the Judge, but the audience supposed all
the time that the Judge did mean him,
and now that he thinks of it himself he
inclines to hat opinion also.

Trapping Gophers.

The-Santa Ana (Cal.) Times says
that the farmers of that valley are
catching the gophers in the following
manner : GA trench is dug about three
feet deep, by two feet wide, across the
entire premises, and barrels, boxes, o.
cans are placed at convenient distances,
which are sunk deep enough so that
the mouth comes even with the bottom
of the trench. Now, in digging a trench
three feet deep, the subterranean pas
sages and general run of the gophers
r cut off and left open in the trench,
and, as the gopher does most of his
work and travelling in the night, he nat
urally tumbles into the ditch. when
once there, his next move, naturally
enough, is to hunt for another passage
whereby he may continue his journey,
and the consequences are that he fol-
lows the ditch until he comes to nj of
the boxes, barrels, or cans, which he
tumbles into, when 10, and behold, he
is caught in q manner from which there
is no escape. Very often the farmer
will make a haul of fifty or sixty of a
morning, and not a good day for
gophers either"

Rnirht. nr Pxthiaa.

The meeting of the Supreme Lodge of the
Knights of Pythias at st. Louis the past week was
largely attended. The procession is estimated
to have been three miles in length. The re
port of the Keeper of Record and Seals shows
a decrease in the membership in Pennsylvania,
Maryland. Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Georgia, Nevada and Ontario of 3,699 mem
bers, while the other twenty-seven jurisdictions
show an aggregate gain of 5,642, making a
net gain for the year 1879 Of 2, 943. Notwith-
standing this decrease of numbers in some
Jurisdictions, all of them show a decided finan-
cial improvement. The capital of the lodges
has greatly increased, and the amount paid for
relief during the past two fiscal years is $47,-
778. This has been done by an average Of 8 500
members, divided smong 1,4O0 lodges. The
receipts for the past two fiscal years, ending
July 81, 1880, has been $41, 265, and there is
now q balance in the treasury of 8 1857. The
mount contributed to the yellow fever suf-
ferers in 1878 was $S,ss3. The number Of
members inthe order December 81, 1879, was
s7,715. The number of uniformed members
are about 2,150, embraced in ffty-four di-
visions. In the drill OF divisions of Knights at
the Fair Grounds for the Merchants prize of
$500, the Lafayette Division, of Lafayette,
Ind, was the victor. The Indianapolis and
Evansville, Ind, divisions, and Dayton and

The American Girl.

The defects of the American girl may
be done away with by giving less prom
inence to the purelyintellectud or
purely, practical side of her education.
ForS while one class of men is striving to
solve the problems of life by educating
women Intellectually, there is another
class which is shouting for education ia
domestic matters. While the professors
at Harvard are rejoicing over some girl
who can take in their PHILOSOPHERS or
their mathematics, the newspaper editor
sings the praises of her who can roast
turkey, bake bread, or make her own
dresses. Neither gives the poor girl any
chance to exist, but only to work, with
either hand or brain. No one says to
her : "You are not only yourself, but
possibly the future mother of other be-
ings. Do not, therefore, allow yourself
to be driven by either school of apostles
beyond what you may do easily, COM
fortably, or pleasurably. The healthy
balance of your nervous system is far
more important to you and your future
family relations than all the mathemat-
les or, dressmaking, or even roasting of
turkeys. Occupy yourself steadfastly,
but without strain, without hurry, and
without emulation. Find out first what
you can do best, and, even if it does not
come up to somebody else's standard,
learn to content yourself with that

Robin Red.breast.

The English robin, after whom our
robin is named, has some very pleasant
traits of character. For one thing, he
is tender-hearted, and is often known to
feed and comfort suffering birds, whether
they are of his own kind or not. Stories
are told of homesick birds shut up in
cages being visited by robins and cheered
up by social ~chattering, and also of
their being supplied by the same generous
little creatures with worms and other
nice morsels of food. Young birds which
fall out of the nest before they can fly,
seem to be the special care of the robins.
They will feed and care for them, and at
last teach them to fly, and fly away with
the grateful youngsters. The bird we call
a robin. though he is quite as interesting
as the English robin, and has his own
pleasant, lively ways, has really no right
to the name, being in fact a thrush.
Whatever we call him, he is a bright, in
telligent fellow, and nothing can be fun
nier than to see him jerk a worm out Of
the groundfor his breakfast. Jeru-
salem Messenger,

Horribly Rutchered.

On tine road leading from Sidney, Ohiu, to
Port Jefferson, was found the other day the
body of a woman with the head in a pool of
blood, up against the canal bank in the we Is.
The head was battered, the h&:r clotted with
blood, and the face disfigured beyond recogni-
ton. Near by the body was a broken rail
stained with blood, evidently used in complet-
ing the tragedy. On the opposite side of the
road was one of the woman's slippers, hair
switch and hat. The body is identified by the
clothing as having been that of q woman who
was cook on a canal boat. A post-mortenl in
vesSigation revealed the fact that the woman
WAS at six months CESSATION with twins, which
was undoubtedly the cause leading to the trag-
edy, thus rendering the crime a triple murder.

Horrible Tale.

following horrible tale comes from Read
ing, Pa: ga most horrible discovery has been
made here by the Board of Poor Directors of
Berks County, who found an insane man inn
prisoned in a hut in the Blue Mountains. For
twenty-seyen years he has never seen the light
of day. His habitation was made Of rudely
e logs. The name Of the lunatic is BENZ.
-Sechler, aged tifty-fiye years, and a native Of
Germany. He has been chained in the hut for
twenty-seven years by his brother, who fed
him. The lunatic in all that time was neither
washed, clothed, nor shaved. Under the hut
was a place where a fire was built in winter, the
heat of which went up through the cracks in
the floor. The lunatic was accustomed to beat
the sides Of the hut with his hands, mumbling,
kicking, and screaming. Arusty chain was at
tached to one of his legs. He made a violent
resistance when he was removed. He was
brought to Reading dressed in a petticoat.
His captors were John Bowen and J. W. Sal
lade, Of the county Alms-House. The chain
on his leg has not been filed off. 1t is reported
that he became insane by bathing in a cold
spring in an overheated condition. The affair
causes great excitement"

rerrtble sta,e OF Aralr..

1t is stated that in the counties of Norton,
Jewell, Washington, Smith, Decatur, Rollins,
Phillips, Graham, Trigo and Ellis, in Kansas,
the people are actually starving. The number
who are thus suffering is placed at q, 700. An
appeal has been made to the st. Louis Ex-
change for relief. The cause of the affection
is drought. In this locality last years crop was
only a limited one, not at all what was ex-
pected. Since then one disaster has followed
another, and the crops have all been destroyed.
Some of the farmers have sowed and planted
four times during the year, while many have
done SO three times, but their efforts were un-
rewarded. Last fall they sowed wheat, but it
died. There was no snow to give any moisture,
and no rains, and this crop persisted. Spring
wheat was sown, but that failed also, on ac-
count of the severe drought. Corn was next
planted, but another plague a~ppeared-the
green-worm-not the army-worm, but similar
in appearance. While it destroyed some fields
entirely, it only ate up the stalks of the others,
and these last revived, and there were hopes
that some of it might still be gathered in; but
the people were once more disappointed. The
chintz-bug followed the green-worm and COM
pleted the destruction of the latter.

you to know that in this world of adulter-

me to such an extent that the least ex-

Hop Bitters. I used one bottle, but did
not see any change; another did sochange
my nerves that they ire now as steady as

Mans Age.

Few men die Of age. Almost all die
OF disappointment, passion, mental or
bodily toll, or accidents. The passions
kill men sometimes, eveI suddenly.
The common expression, choked with
passion, has little exaggeration in it;
for, e though not suddenly fatal,
strong passions shorten life. Strong
bodied men often die young weak men
live longer than the strong; for the
strong use their strength and the weak
have none to use. The latter take care
of themselves, the former do not. AS it
is with the body, so it is with the mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or. like the candle. to run: the
weak to burn out. The inferior animals
which live temperate lives have generally
their prescribed number of years. The
horse lives twenty-five, the OK fifteen or
twenty, the lion about twenty, the dog
ten or twelve, the rabbit eight, the
guinea pig six or eve years. These
numbers all bear a similar proportion to
the time the animal takes to grow to its
full size. But man, of the animals, is
one that seldom lives this average. He
ought to live a hundred years, according
to physical law, for five times twenty are
one hundred; but, instead of that, he
scarcely reaches on an average four times
his growing period the cat six times /;
the rabbit ever eight times the standard
of measurement. The reason is obvious
mar is not only the most irregular and
the most incorporate, but the most la
borious and hard worked of all the ami
mails. He is also the most irritable of
all animals /; and there is reason to
believe, though we can not tell what an
animal secretly feels, that, ret than any
other animal, man cherishes wrath to
keep it warm and consumes himself with
the fire of his own secret reflections
