= AT the examination for public school
teachers Of Abbeville, held on Saturday,
22ni ut., twelve first grade and two Sec
| ord grade certificates were issued to
'shites, and four second grade and twenty
nino third grade to colored candidates.
A bill has been introduced in the
New York senate providing that every
passenger coach on every railway Of the
State shall carry saw and an axe. Such
Il law vigorously enforced in every State
| would doubtless be the means OF sa"ing
| many lives.
= Hon. Stanley Matthews, Of Ohio, has
been nominated TO the vacancy en- the
Supreme Bench ns Associate Justice, in
place ofJudge Swayne, resigned. Judge
Swayne has been on the bench eighteen
years, and retires before too heavy a
| pressure Of work.
"A revenue force OH Sunday hight,
22nd ult., broke up an illicit wbiskey
still of 50 gallons capacity, near the State
line in Greenville County, and destroyed
| l,2OO gallons of beer aud 80 gallons Of
low wines appertainiug thereto. No
arrests were made.
= President Gonzales, of Mexico, has
telegraphcd to r. S. Hayes, President Of
the international and Great Northern
Railroad Company, authorizing the sur
vey of the International Railway from
Laredo to the City of Mexico. The sur
vey will begin at an early date.
One reason why the Democratic
papers are in favor of Bruce for the
Cabinet is that if Southern Republican
is to be appointed, he might as we'll be
gentleman and an honest man, and Bruce
comes nearer filling the bill than s.ny
active Southern Republican whose name
has been mentioned.
= Mr.. Hayes has ended tie suspense
in the ilthJu1::ial circui: oy nominating
District Judge Billings, OF New Orleans,
for the seat vacated by Judge Woods.
He will doubtless be confirmed, and then
Judge Pardec, an Ohio man, will step
into the district judgeship. There is moth
| ing Ill politics equal to au Ohio men.
= The wheat crop of southern Illinois,
Southern Indiana and probable of all
other territory OH the same parallel is
ruined by hard winter coming in con-
junction with the late planting. The dis
tricIs i'll which the plant is absolutely
killed by ice and frost include some of
the best wheat-growing sections O, the
country.
- The Horny Ne,cS says that an effort
is being made to organize joint stock
company tor the purpose of putting two
| new steamers on the route to Charleston,
one to run between Conwayboru', on the
Waccamaw River, and Charleston and
the other to run from some point on the
Great Pee-Dea, to make connection with
the th augh steamer tn Charleston.

s25i 3oo o5; police, Sa0,525; streets,
Slol $40; drains, $4,5Oo; Board Of
Health, $4,000; Aims House, $4,000;
fire department, $4,000. Total to run a
city OF $4,000 people. s566.76O05. In
one ninth as large, would require $780,.
GAO to keep her going.
= The Spartanbnrg Herald takes the
ground that good streets and good roads
are 9 public necessity" and suggests tue
appointment of city engineer and
county engineer, who shall receive sufii-
cieEt compensation to enable them to
devote their time TO changing aud i'm
proving the grades Of the streets aud
roads. In order to carry out the scheme
the issue OF interest bearing bonds is
suggested.
= On January 81 freight train on
the North Carolina Railroad going east,
consisting OF eighteen cars, including
passenger coach, was wrecked one mile
south Of G;bsonvillc. The engine and
twelve cars left the track, going down an
embankmcnt eight feet high. Conduc-
tor Halsey and fireman Hanning were
instantly killed. Engineer Murphy had
his left arm broken and was scalded.
The passengers escaped without injury.
Cause of accident unknown.
= The Southern cotton mill boom
seeics to have reached the North. The
Commissioner Of Agriculture of the State
is in constant receipt of inquiries from
capitalists there regarding the advan-
tages offered by the State for manuac.
turers. The latest was one from Phila-
delphia, asking advice as 10 tho best
location for cotton mill, and on various
other matters. The chief point of in-
quiry is whether the report that manu-
tactures are exempt from taxation for
I'll years is correct. This seems TO be
almost too gond for the moncyed men
there to hciieve.

= "A curious experiment is being made
in Chicago by doctor of the Ia Ame of De
Ia Banta. This is nothing less than au
effort TO make negreSs white. De la
Banta has so far been quite successful,
the face of his patient having bleached
considerably by tho use of the lotion
| with which he treats her. The doctor
does not in the least doubt the complete
success of his experiment, but is afraid
that he will not be able TO keep his ne.
gress white after lie has got her to that
color. His plan of operation is, he says,
very simple, and consists simply in de-
s,roying the color OH the cuticle of pa
tient, which makes negro black faster
than the blood can makeit. II, however,
the application of the lotion is given up,
the color returns to the cuticle and this
