beautiful Sabbath morning Of the
22nd inst, peacefully passed away
that noble husband, the kind and
aficctionate father, and the brave
and worthy citizen, Mr.. Robert
Richards, formerly of Charlcston on.
Many here with sad hearts fol-
lowed his remains to their last rest
ing place and bchcld him consigned
to tie qnict grave in Orangcburg
Village No doubt too, those citi-
zens of Charleston who knew him in
his young manhood and pride, will
likewise heavc q sigh and deeply
meurn The death Of this gentleman,
expressly those Of the IIHa Fire
Company who can remember him
while an,oilircr OF that Company, and
who BY devotion to duty while in the
Fire Department comparative
wrecked his health. While Mr..
Richards loved his old home in the
"City by the Sea- unhappy calami-
tres preventing him l,t'n ming after
the war, since then he has been re-
siding in OrangeLurg County. where
he leaves family, many relatives
and large concoursc of friends, who,
while they are sad at his removal
from among them, love and
reverence his memory.

REYERIE OF THE FEMAL EDITOR,

Miss Eva G. Kinney, on taking the
editorial chnir of the Ellis, Kansas,
nentff'yhf, writes III the following
light headed way: :
"iiow glad We are We We got 10 he an

we knew just how to run paper, and
now we've got such IL splendid
chance.

Fast Trains.

There seems To be a disposition
among the leading railroad officials to
foster the fast-runniny policy. This is
perhaps result of the formidable COM
petition that now exists on the leading
trunk lines. A prominent official OF
one OF the lines centering here. while
discussing the subject Yesterday in a
gossipy way. gave il rs his opinion
that the Inauguration of the fast-run-
ming policy on the trunk lines would
doubtless be followed by many if not
all the leading roads of the country. al
of which are now in better shape. he
believes. to run trains at a speed of tif-
~ miles per hour than they were if
teen wears ago. While he deprecated
reckless railway travel and believed
that il should be discontinued by all
corporations. he believed that the
growth OF engineering science during
late years had been so far advanced
that increased speed nowadays was as
safe As it was practicable. He pointed
out where the American roads are now
capable of making as COOL time as that
of the best of the English schedules.
but frankly admitted that the schedule
average in this country is below the
English average. He holds the opin-
ion that. considering IFS great territorT.
America should at least equal the En-
glish average, and thinks that present
indications point to a speedy Inaugural
ton of the fast-running policy. Chicago

The Earth Drying Up.

There is abundant evidence that the
amount of water on the surface OF the
earth has been steadily diminishing for
many thousand OF years. No one doubts
that there was Il time when the Caspian
Sea communicated with the Black Sea,
and when the Mediterranean covered
the greater part of the Desert of Sa-
hara. In fact, BIOLOGISTS tell us that at
one period the whole of the earth was
covered bv water, and the fact that con-
tinents OF dry land now exist is proof
that there is less wafer on our globe
now than there was in its infancy. This
diminution of our supply of water is
going on al the present day AT a rate so
rapid rs to be clearly appreciate. The
rivers and smaller streams of our At
lantic States are visiblv smaller than
they were twenty-five years ago, Coun-
try brooks in which men now living
were accustomed to fish and battle in
their boyhood have in many eases to-
tally disappeared, not through any act
of man. but solely in consequence OF
the failure OF the springs and rains
which once fed them. The level of the
great lakes is falling year by year.
There are many piers on the shores of
lakeside cities which vessels once APP
preached with ease, but which how har,l-
lyreacb TO the edge ofthe water. Earbors
are everywhere growing shallower
This is not due TO the gradual deposit
of earth brought down by rivers or of
refuse from city sewers. The harbor
OF Toronto has grown shallow in spite
of the fact that it has been dredged out
so that the bottom rock has been
reached. and all the dredging which
can be done TO the harbor of New York
viii not permanently deepen il. The
growing shallowness OF the Hudson is
more evident above Albany than il is in
the tide-water region, and. like the
outlet of Lake Champlain, which was
once navigable by Indian canoes at all
seasons. the upper Hudson is now al
most bare of water in many places dur
inc the summer. In all other parts of
the world there is the same steady de-
crease OF water in rivers and lakes, and
the ram all in Europe. where scientific
observations are made. is manitestly
less than it was at period within man 5
memory.
What is becoming of our water9 OBJ
viously it is not disappearing through
evaporation. Tor in that case rains
would give back whatever water the
atmosphere might absorb We must
accept the theory that, like the water
OF the moon, our wafer is sinking into
the earths interior. " T. Times.

Good Advice.

Advice is cheap and easily obtained;
but not good advice; tba, is not so easy
60 give. The handspring of advice
which is really worth having is an
earnest aud sincere desire for the good
of the one We counsel. apart from all
selfish considerations. This is rarer
thing than We imagine. 1t is much
easier 20 wish that another may be ben
Gifted through our means than TO take
a keen satisfaction in all the good that
comes TO hiri from any and every
source. Yet until we can do this we
are not in a condition TO give him ad-
wee. Cor il viii be so tinged with refer
cnce to self that it will not reach his
case. This disinterested regard is the
only channel through which we can
really find out what is the right thing
Tor Inn TO do in any given case; for
only by thorough sympathy can we so
enter into his individuality as to see
things from his point of view. II is not
yer, much 10 the purpose TO tell him
what arc would do in his circumstances,
merely substituting cur own will for
his. nor vet TO pronounce dogmatically
and without hesitation upon his duty.
We have TO consider what he should do;
and If we have Il real and honest desire
To aid hlE, and a. sincere sympathy
with him. we shall be able. for the time
being. 10 step ont of ourselves. to for

judices, our self-interest and self-will-

his place. to realize his abilities and
disabilities. his knowledge and ignor-
ance. his advantages and disadvantages.
his possibilities and impossibilities
There is no iron rule that can be laid
down for all alike; what is easy for one
is hard for another: what is reasonable
Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1881-12-01

to expect from one is too much to ask o,
another. If we would direct anyone
how to reach a far distant city we must
first know from what point he will start;
so if we would advise anyone wisely
concerning his conduct in life we must
know whereabouts he now stands. in
order TO show him the right direction
TO take. If we could fully realize the
great difficulty of so approaching the
peculiar position, character and feel
ings Of another rs TO find out what was
really the best thing for him to do, we
should be much more reluctant to give
advice than we now are.
