Struck Dead,

One of the most terrible instances OF
scoffer struck down in the moment
of his blasphcmy was revealed before
MIR. Carter at the Rose and Grown
Tavern, East street, Lambeth walk,
recently. The deceased was an en-
gincer named Thomas Hudson, aged
G7, who resided at "a Saunders street
Lambeth, and had been employed at
Messrs. Mauds!uy's for twenty-five
years. lie returned home at n quar-
ter.past 5 o'clock on Thursday even
ing, and asked his daughter-in-law TO
get him an egg from the fowl-housc.
On proceeding into the yard lie be-
came excited, and after using
lright!ul oath in reference TO his
death, he ran into the parlor, vomitcd
blood, and fell dead in the arms of Il
female who had been nursing his
daughter. Mrs. Fall stated that de-
ceased did not say, "God strike me

character. The jury found verdict
Of death from excitement" and the
Coroncr's experience enabled him to
narratc 4 parallel case. A number
Of persons had assembled in tavern
at Putney, when man charged an
other with taking from him twopcncc.
The man after b>ing accused, said,
"May God strike me dead if l did

hundred and fifty thousand taels,
which is more than half Of the land

year in silks, game, satin, velvet,
pearls, rcd and gilt paper. But the
emperor deserves no sympathy. Were

Only a Camp Rumor.

Among the stories Of Confederate
army life, is one recently given TO
the public rs follows: There were
two men in q Mississippi regiment
discussing the Scriptures. One of
the men contcndcd that the Scrip
lures were Of divine origin, anil The
other said they were Of human invcn-
ton, and asked his opponent, in one
of the arguments which they were
continually having, if he believed the
story of Jonah AMI the whale, 10
which the other replied, EYES" "Do
you believe that the three Hebrews
passed through the fiery furnace
without feeling the hcat" persisted
the inlidel. "Yes," came the answer
again. "Do you believe" came short
ly, "that Samson slew all those thou
sands Of Philislines with the jawbonc
of an ass?" 1t was just after the bat
tie Of Shiloh, and the believer in the
inspiration Of the Bible had just had
some tough experience IN the difficult
ty Of lighting only four to one.

the last homclhrust, 81 always re-

A Graceful Tribute.

The Columbia RcgiSte1 has an cdi
torial on the present administration,
in which, while fully recognizing the
weak points, it also commcnds the
general course Of Mr.. Hayes policy,
and winds up with this graceful trib-
ute to the wife Of the President :

Reaction Of the Sexes.

The kitchen is woman's kingdom.
Here she works her will-basing,
boiling, stcwing, frying, mopping,
washing, ironing; emphatic ally ruling
the roast. For ages she has rcigned
and wrought unassisled and unqucs-

hating any innovation, size has been
content to do everything just as her
mother used 10. 1t is only within n
generation or two lha: science and

than the hearth stouc is abolished,

closed in an iron box. Clumsy and
awkward rs the boxes doubtless we're
ut first, it would have been long be-
fore women, if left TO themselves,
would have ventured TO improve the
pattern yet the secret history of the
patent ranges, patent ovens, and the
thousand and one neat contrvances
that adorn the kitchen OF to-day,
would show that woman's wit, not
less than mans wisdom, lies at the
bottom of the change. Steam at last
lends its magic fingers TO her toll.
Monday morning has lost half its ter
rors; for now, instead Of the tub, the
corrugated board and the bendcd
back, the sole agencies used by our
foremothcrs, 4 crank is turned, and
10! the scrubbing is finished; another
crank, the clothes are wrung; while
another returns them ironed. Leave
the kitchen and ascend the parlor.
One Of its ncatcst pieces is the sew
ing machine. The days of never
done, cycs-aching, sewing, extending
from mother Eve to Elias Howe, are
over ut last. A buzz Of wheels, a
rattle Of The shuttle, and a ward OF
seam is done. Women probably in
vented sewing by hand men taught
them TO sew BY foot. One can easily
believe that woman first learned OF
the angels TO sing men made the
beautiful piano to accompany her.
Now let us just take one glance
at the other side. Visit some fac
tory or machine, shop: where women
never go. Grease, dirt, and disorder
are the leading features. Man, how
ever he may be an ingenious animal,
is, not an over neat one; and here
his deficiency becomes patent. If
men know their true interest they
will open every door for the advance
mcnt of woman TO equal knowledge
and skill with themselves, and in eve
ry department will profit by her keen
instinct, rs much rs by their own
vauntcd science.

The Last Legislature.

The last Legislature has passed in
to history as the weakest and mos,
cNtravagant body that has assembled
III Columbia for many years. The
time was consumed in devieing and
lur,hering new schemes for the i'm
poverIshmcnt Of the people. In adj
dltlon to the current expenses Of the
government, s191, 900 was voted 10
agricultural college; 100000 in
work and sl0.0OO,OOO in water power
to the Columbia Canal; $4,000 to
the Charleston Canal; $4,000 on the
Blair estate in York county was given
up; thousands Of dollars ofback taxes
on the Blue Ridge Road were remit
ted; the Catawba Canal was given a.
way; the tax bill improperly passed
at an cNpencc TO the State of twenty
thousand dollars in round numbers
and so from the opening 10 the close
OF its career the Legislature pf 1872
50 stumbled along. All Of these cr-
rors have been the result Of a desire
to make fair weather with the voting
masses and to gain the applause of
an unthinking press.-AJJcviVc Ne

The Duty of Taxpayers.

Since the adjournment OF Congress the Dis
trict Commissioners have been making every
possible effort TO induce our taxpayers to re-
duce the large sums charged against them as
ueinquent taxes The Commissioners state
that In their efforts before the congressional
committees for District appropriations they
have frequently been met with the argument
that the citizens aud properly holders here
strive to avoid the payment OF all taxes and to
throw the whole expenses OF running the Dis
trlct government upon the United states In
support OF this statement, members point to
our list OF delinquent taxes; and it was Under
this impression that the proviso was added to
bhe "a section OF the act of June 4, 1889, making
appropriations to provide for the expenses of
the District government for the fiscal year end.
Ing June 80. ISL. as follows: THAT the said
commissioners shall not make acquisitions
upon the appropriations from the Treas
ury OF the United States for a larger
amount during said fiscal year than they
make On the appropriations arising from
the revenues OF said District" The Commission
ers state that they desire at the coming session
to go before Congress with as clear a tax sheet
as possible, and thus defeat the force OF this old
argument against making appropriations for
District expenses. The effect OF this proviso to
the law is fairly presented In the letter OF NJ
Dent, published in THE STAR OF July 10th, In
iCialiou W TIC appropriations available IOr
street work the current year, showing that
without regard TO the estimates OF the Conms-
sioners. or the appropriations made by Con-
gress for District expenditures, not dollar of
the money of the United States, In excess OF the
revenues of the District deposited in the T. S.
Treasury, can be drawn On account of such ex-
penditure. The recent opinion OF Attorney
Riddle upon the construction OF the act of June
4, 1850. ia relation TO the remission of penalties,
In which he includes the fifty per CENT penalty
for non return OF personal property, has had
the effect OF reducing the delinquent tax list
very materially. Collector Cook states that
many OF our citizens against whom delin-
quent taxes have been standing for several
years. have already come up and squared ac-
counts, and very different showing will be
ready TO lay before Congress at the next session
than formerly. IL is manifestly public duty
under the circumstances for Taxpayers to
promptly come forward and pay their dues.

Republican Fighting Chances in
the south.

The republican managers, 1t appears, do not
intend TO permit the democrats to have every
thing their own way In the present canvass In
the southern states. While republican leaders
do not evince much hope Of being able to OBJ
tain any electoral votes In the south, they re-
gard 1t wise policy TO encourage the mainte-
nance OF party organization In that section and
TO attempt to regain few Congressional dis
tricts. TIE states of North Carolina and Flor
Ida appear to have been selected as the most
hopeful fighting ground for the republicans, and
returns OF the latest elections In both do not
contain figures that warrant the democrats In
Claiming them as absolutely safe for their party
In 1876 North Carolina gave Tilden majority
OF li,UlO over Hayes, and, as Is well remem-
DSded, the result In Florida was contested, 1t
was so close. The DEMOCRATS claimed trtfling
majority on the face OF the returns, which the
republicans denied. The electoral vote was
awarded TO the republicans. but the state courts
decided Ii favor OF the democrats, which gave
them the control OF the state government. In
1876 the democrats carried all except one con-
greSslonel district In North Carolina, While In
ISIS they were defeated In two districts, and
shown to be In minority In another. The fall
Ing Of In the democratic vote In 1878 Is, per-
maps, one OF the causes which leads the republi
cans to hope for at least partial success In the
state this year by vigorous canvass In that
state the republican party has better organi-
ton than elsewhere in the south, and its can
ddate Tor governor is highly esteemed by men
OF all Parties. The democrats, however, have
possession OF state and county patronage, as
well as control Of the election machinery. and
1t Will be uphill work to dislodge them In
Florida. the majority returned for the demo-
cratic candidate for Congress In the second
district, over his republican competitor. In 1915,
was only thirteen IL has always been claimed
by the republicans that this result was pro-
cured Illegally, and the seat of the democratic
incumbent In the House is now under contest,
In the first district, in ISIS, the democrats got
majority Of 1921, which, added to the IS In
the other district, would give them In the state,
majority OF 1924. The national contest,
though, win bring out much larger vote than
was cast In ISIS, and IL Is claimed that this In.
crease Will be In favor of the republicans.
The legislature TO be elected will choose L. S,
Senator TO succeed Mr.. Jones. The democrats
are secure, however, OF the legislature. The
state Is so districted that even with an adverse
popular vote they would retain the legislature
In the last general assembly the democrats had
majority OF thirty-four On Joint ballot, which
shows the disparity between the popular and
legislative vote.
