Dreadful Hurricnne-Greas Lnss ai
PORT ROYAL, s. c., Aug. 3d.
The hurricane announced by the
Signal Service Department passed
here Saturday. At Beaufort the
damage was considerable. Forty
lives were lost at Port Royal Ferry.
It seems that on account of the
storm the ferryman could not con-
vey the passengers across the river.
The passengers gathered in ferry
house awaiting the abatement of
the storm when the house was car
ried away by the high tide. Seven
bodies were recovered to-day. The
number actually drowned is uD-
certain, but the rumors vary from
twenty to forty.
the storm az Savannah.
AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. 30.-A ter
ritio hurricane visited Savannah
Saturday night. The velocity of
the wind was about 80 miles an
hour. Early in the evening the
Signal Service Office was unroofed
and the instruments destroyed.
About fifty private dwellings were
more or less injured. A number
were bruised by the falling of brick
and plaster, and q house swept
down the river and three occupants
(Mrs. Stokes and her two children)
were drowned. The loss of life
among the colored people occupy
ing little huts OH the plantations
and along the river was very great.
All the people on Shade Island
were drowned.

NEW YORK, August 3O.--The
W0rld's Macon, Ga, special of the

from the northeast on the Savan-

minutes the city was in darkness
and the parks. streets and squares
were rendered impossible by fall

loss of life is probably thirty five.
Many more were wounded. On

Life In Germany.

With IN outlay which seems miserably
small to the American, Germans con-
trive to lead O merry life. Fine music
and drama at cheap prices, tho love of
outdoor life and tho multitude of holi-
days which allow him to crafty it, q
passionate fondness for singing, an
abundance of beer, cheap wines and ci-
gars, will atone, in the German mind,
for great many other deficiencies. AS
to books, there is no country where they
are cheaper or moro abundant. Ten
thousand new titles are printed every
secures n good average culture. The
new empire is far ahead Of us, not
only in the organization of it's army,
but in the organization of its civil SER
vice and the conditions Of tenure of Of
flee. Its schools are in many respects
superior to ours We have borrowed it's
kindergartens and might borrow with
advantage some features of it's university
life. We have adopted its postal cards.
The money order system is very con-
venient, the money being brought to
your door. And do we not owe an i'm
mense debt to German learning? AS to
music and art, we must stand with our
hats off. With all its sauorl1raut, sausage
and beer, there is charm about
German home-life that cannot be ig-
nored. There is sweetness of affec-
tion in the family circle, q fidelity to
friends, stability of character and q
homely ingenuousness which the most
obstinate prejudice can hardly resist.
1t is a frank and innocent life, always
open to inspection.

There is no telling whether q Colo
RADIO mine will turn out a bonanza, or
"peter out" GA man can't see very
far into the ground" said an cold
hand" explaining why mining is so un-
certain. Some settlers take to farming,
seeing that the mining camps pay high
prices for food for thousands of men and
beasts. But even farming, though the
crops are abundant, has its risks, as the
following story, told in Mr.. Hayes
"New Colorado" plainly shows:
"I was mining up Central City," said
IN cold timer" and there came along
one day man with onions to sell. We
were glad to get vegetables about there.
"Well, sir, didn't say anything, but
1 allowed that farming must be better
business than mining, and had better
go into it myself. So I quit my claim,
and struck ranch, and hired a Dutch
man at $100 q month to take charge
"Well, my vegetables began to come
up. And one day, Tim Ewell, sort of
marketman, came along and stopped to
dinner, and knew he was counting the
cabbages in one Of my fields.
"Then says he, Joe, L must have
those cabbages,' and he offered me
800 for the lot, and I took him up,
and he pulled out bag of gold-dust.
But I didn't want it in the house, and I
told him to put it in the bank, and give
me check when he liked, and to send
for those cabbages any time
cat any rate, there was $4,000 in
that crop, and began to feel tony, tony,
Sir, I tell you.
"And as L was building my castles in
the air, the sun was kind of obscured,
and [ looked up over Table mountain,
and saw a queer kind Of cloud. And
while was looking, out came the sun,
and the air was full of millions of dia''
mond points, just Shintillating, shintil,

Science in Homeopathic Doses.

Coal gas is not explosive except when
mixed with known proportion of COM
mon air.
The humidity of the atmosphere is
greater above forests than over nom
wooded grounds.
Engineering has succeeded in putting
into steam only about one-tenth of tho
heat realized i'll the furnace of the boil
er; the remaining nine-tenths are lost.
The difference between the highest
speed attainable by an ocean steamer at
sea in good weather and the rate OBJ
tanned during a gale is tho measure of a
vessels strength.
No sufficient reason has been assigned
why sea-going mail and passenger
steamers should not be of cellular con-
struction.
Steam is cooled by expansion, while
air is heated by compression.

Energy the True Mark of Genius.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in one of his
lectures, describes with the clear sweep
of painter the vital necessity of en-
er8y and labor to even the most gifted,
In the present day of steam and punctu-
allty, the lazy man, no matter how ex-
traordinary his requirements, must al
ways fall behind in the race of human
life. He says:
"Genius unexerted is no more genius
than bushel Of acorns is o forest of
oaks. There may be epics in mems
brains, just as there are oaks in acorns,
but the tree and the book must come
out before we can measure them. We
very naturally recall here that class Of
grumblers and wishers who spend their
time in longing to be higher than they
are, while they should be EMPLOYED in
advancing themselves. These bitterly
moralize upon the injustice of society.
do they want a change ? Let them
change-who prevents it? If you are as
high as your faculties will permit YOU to
rise In the scale of society, why should
you complain Of mon? It is God that
arranged the lawof precedence. Implead
him or be silent. If you have capacity
for higher station, take it-what hfnders
you? How many men would love to 90

Getting Square With a Bursted Ronh

During the bank mania in the West
when every little village and hamlet
boosted its bank, one of these public
Accommodations" sprung up in Mount
Vernon, Ohio, under the cognomen of
"Owl Creek Bank" taking its name
from small but beautiful stream pass-
ing through the village.
The affairs of the institution went on
swimmingly for n short thine, but o. short
time only. Like all its kindred of
money representation, it was declared
lnsolvent. A morning or two after this
important fact had come to light, n mvs.
terious-looking person, wrapped up to
his eyes in cloak, presented himself at
the counter of the bank, tenderinp some
Of their bills, and demanded, in q seri-
Gus manner, their redemption in cold or
silver. He was told that the bank had
neither. He then demanded Eastern
funds.
"No funds on hand" was the brief
reply.

sonage, i've mo tolerably well execut-
ed counterfeit notes on solvent banks?

DAVIS BURTON was returning home
from Waco, Tex, in a wagon. He
stopped at Mills store at Hog Creek,
and asked the clerk to send him out a
cigar. The clerk was busy, and sent
another man, well known in the neigh
borhood. The latter brought out a
cigar and handed it to Burton, at the
same time presenting a six-shooter to
his head and demanding his money,
which Burton gave up to the amount Of
$40. The robber was not arrested.

fused to allow the body of woman who

tailed to be present at the funeral, with
instructions to arrest him if he created
any trouble, which he was prudent
enough to avoid.

ScOtchmen and Jews.

Jews aro to Germany very much what
Scotchmen are to England. They
come, they see, they conquer. They
invade the country at every point; be-
gin their career in garret and termin-
ate 1t in a palace. Many of the most
successful merchants, lawyers and ply
sicians In London are Of Scottish extrac-
ton. Lord Mayor Macarthur is all Irish
Scot. DR.. Andrew Clarke is Scott. So
is Mr.. John Pender, and so are score
of other equally eminent and opulent
individuals whom it is unnecessary to
particularizo. The Scot has an awk
wardly persistent manner of standing in
the Briton's sunlight and of being the
foremost to seize the prizes and the diff
fcrent good things of life. His nation
ality is quite as clear y defined and his
instinct is quite as aggressive and pre-
hensile as in the case of the veritable
Hebrew he has fewer amiable qualities
by way Of compensation, and he has in
finitely less sense of humor. Yet En-
Glishmen, when they have been hope
lessl y distanced by the canny aliens
from beyond the Tweed, try to live in
peace and amity with their rivals, and
| have no more notion Of making the homo
counties too hot to hold them than they
have of repealing the civil disabilities

Or $1l.j0 to every bale Of lint cotton,
a there is about ], 200 pounds seed pro-
duced to every bale of lint. Deducting
one.fourth of the seed for planting pur-
poses, the seed of the crop of 1879, if
carried to the mills, would have Welded
the gross amount of $40 593, $50, nearly
half of which, or $20 1877, 500, would
have come from the sale of the oil. The
meal or cake, hulls, etc, it is claimed,
pay all the expenses Of the mills; there
would have been, therefore, q clear gain
to the country Of over $40, 900, 900 in adj
dition to the profits from the taIe of lint
cotton.
The above is, however, a strictly gen
eral and commercial view of the matter
the farmer however, has n personal
and special interest in it. Above we
have assumed that the farmer sells all his
seed to the mills except those reserved
for planting purposes. If we stopped
right there, it is clear that his lands |
would be rapidly impoverished by this
heavy drain upon its feI eItilizing elements.
To prevent this, he must buy back from
the mills the cake and the hulls from his
seed. If he can get these, transportion
at same price he sells. his seed for, he will
be gamer, in that those substances will
contain all the fertilizing element, of the
seed of any value, and in better shape for
