Bitten by q Spider.


Mr.. Jno. White, of Pickens, living be-
tween Greenville and Easley Station,
was bitten on Friday last, while p]oWing
in his field, by q large black "bottle"
spider. The spider had gotten inside tho
quarter of his right shoe, and bit him
with vengeance near the ankle. Reach
ing down he caught the insect with his
fingers and MASKING it, threw it down.
In less than one hour afterwards Mr..
White felt the effects Of the poison in his
back and hips and stomach. he went
home and suffered the most awful agony
all night, the poison Of the spider affect
Ing his whole body from his head down,
until he was prostrated. 1t travelled
down his legs, burning like fire, and
seems to have settled in his left foot;
which is greatly swollen and looks as II
animmense boil was forming. he was in
the city yesterday being treated by DR.:
pain, apprehends no serious results here
after.-GrecnviUe Ne,cs, 4th inst.

The Universe.

Professor Proctor closes his lecture on
.The Star Depths with the following
quotation from Jean Paul Frederick
Richter =: -, -,
God called up man into the vestibule
OF Heaven, saying: "Come thou hither
and see the glory of My house" And to
the servants that stood around His throne
He said: "Take him and undress him
from the robes of flesh, cleanse his vision
and put new breath into his nostrils
only! touch not with any change his hui
man heart the heart that weeps and
trembles." It was done, and with 8
mighty angel for his guide, the man stood
ready for his infinite voyage; and from
the. terraces of Heaven, without sound OF
farewell, at once they wheeled into end
less space. Sometimes, with solemn
fight Of angel wing, they fed through
sahara of darkness, through wiidernesses
Of death that divide the. worlds of Life; {;
sometimes they swept along frontiers that
were quickening under prophetic motion:
Then from distance that is counted
only in Heaven, light dawned for a time
through sleepy film; by unutterable
pace the light swept to them, they, by
unut.erable pace, to the light. In a mo,
ment the rushing Of planets was upon
them; in moment the blasting of suns
was around them. Then came eternities
of twilight that revealed, but were not
revealed. On the right hand and left
covered mighty consultations, that BY
{ rcnnnter .positions bnilt up triumphal
/ vstes whose arcbitrages-horizontal, up
1;rbt3rested. rose at altitude, BY spans
that scanned ghastiy from infnitude.

was padding with his arm in the water,
an alligator swan fearlessly up and bit it
off without displaying the least appre.
hension."
"A volume of smoke arises constant
ly from the, midst Of o dense norass in
Walkulla county, Florida, and has for
at-least fifty years been mystery to the
people of that region. The spot is FIVE
miles from the nearest point to which
any person has ever penetrated. The
negroes believe that it is the entrance to
hell, and regard it With awe. Some of
the whites accept the theory of "a volcano.
Judge White, of Tallahassee, lately or
ganized an expedition to explore the
swamp but failed to make way in the
tangled rank growth.
"A woman at Cape Girardeau, Mis-.
aouri, who had suffered from husbands
neglect, traced him to q bar-room, where
he was playing cards with several com:
,panions. Setting a covered dish she had
in her hands down upon the table, she
said "Presuming, husband, that you
we're too busy TO come nome 10 dinner, |!
have brought you yours" and departed.
With forced laugh he invited his
friends to dine with him, but on remov.
ing the cover from the dish found only q
slip OF paper, on which was written: 81
hope you will enjoy your meal; it is the
iame your family have at home."
"A matchmaker in Newcastle,
Penn, says a Pittsburg paper, has com.
pleted set of three gold shirt studs, in
one of which is a watch that keeps excel
lent time, the dial being about three-eights
of an inch in diameter. The three studs
are connected by strap of silver inside
the shirt bosom, and the watch contained
in the middle one is wound up by turn
ing the stud above, and the hands are
set by turning the one below. But per.
haps the most remarkable thing about the
lilliputian machine is that it works with
pendulum like clock, and the pendu.
lnm will act with ease and accuracy in
whatever position the time-piece is
placed, even ifit be turned upside down.

THE CHIC EARTHQUAKE.

An American Naval Officers Account of
the Catastrophe.
WASHINGTON. May 1O.-Com. Kane arrived
with the Galena at Chic, April 7th. He says:
1 at once called on Governor, Sadyk Pasha,
and offered such assistance as it was in my
power to render. found that reports that I
had received of the disaster had been exag-
gerated. The loss of life cannot at the present
time be accurately computed, and estimates
vary all the way from 1000 to Is 600, the latter
being of course very much too great. In nv
opinion the number killed will probably be
about 5000 or 5000. There were two destruc-
tive shocks at intervals of quarter of an hour,
the first causing the greatest loss. "a After them
and up to the present time there have been
succession of minor shocks which, however,
caused no further damage. Almost all the
houses on the greater part of the Island have
been either thrown down or so shattered as to
be nninhabitable. I am having an investiga-
ton made OF the phenomena attending the Ca
tastrophe and shall communicate results in
detailed report. l have had parties ashore
every day extricating dead bodies, tearing
down unsafe walls and bringing in the wound
ed from the surrounding country. have es-
tablished a hospital tent ashore and shall
wounded which were brought in yesterday
completely filled up the space remaining in the
first tent. There are still hundreds of people
in the villages who have as yet received no
medical attention whatever. I have seen no
evidence of want Of food among the people,
the need in that respect having been amply
supplied, but want of medical care is extreme
ly pressing. Natives here exhibit most as
tonishing Indifference to the suffering of their
own people, and we have had to compel them
to aid in carrying the wounded. have been
much pleased with the zeal exhibited by the
officers and men of this ship in all the work
they have been required to perform since our
arrival at this place.
