Blind Tom.

What is he? An enigma, mystery. Z
something that no man can understand,
phenomenon no living man Can explore.
His performances arc astounding they are
more-marrellous. What secret power,
what comprehension can there be in that
scattered and ill-baianced mind that can
grasp, aye, master, sonata of Beethoven,
the immortal, Of Chopin, a rhapsody CT
Liszt? Yet he does it. That upseemly
skull of Blind Toms envelopes brain that
is the strangest compound of weakness and
strength, obtuseness and perception, i'm
becili,y and genius that ever mortal man
beheld. Blind, uncouth, unnatural, in
coherent in thought and speech, he yet
performs great things that many bright
and penetrating mind would aspire to
in vain. No more striking or improb-
able contrast could well be imagined than
the gTimacing, swaying, gesticulatiug Tom

the masterful and inspired Tom seated at a

this mental phenomenon, do so. 1t cannot

splendid audience last evening, at the

that ranged from Toms own incoherent
talk to the profoundest creations of Chop
in, Beethoven, List, and other composers.

would miss it again. Wonderful and in

The Supposed Orangeburg Negro.


The sheriff of Orangeburg came up
last week to get the negro who was al
rested in this county the 2Sth inst, on
the suppesition that he was the person
who committed an outrage in that coun-
ty. After seeing him the, sheriff was
very doubtful as to his being the proper
party, and therefore declined to take
him, requesting. however. that he be
held over till further revidence could be
obtained as to his identity. He sentup
Saturday the following description Of
the negro who committed the outrage ::
almost a mulatto; heavy build, weigh
ing not less than $50 pounds; knock
kneed; bad teeth; thick lips. The ne
gro in Jail is almost black; is of light
build, weighing not more than 125 or
1870; is not knock-kneed, on the contrary
is bow-legged; has perfect set of
teeth; and fer negro has thin lips.
The only evidence against this negro
is his own confession, which. consider
ing bis utter im5ecility, is not worth a
copper. Besides this, if reports be true,
there is another reason that would rem
der the confession worthless even tho
the negro were of sound mind; it is
said that the confession was forced from
the negro by threats and demonstra-
tions of the pistol and the rope. If this
be true it was grave ofense and an
outrage of law and order. Suppose the
negro had been l7uched upon a confes-
sion thus obtained, as he would very
probably have been Lad he been taken
to Orangeburg.
1t seems to be quite evident now that
this is the wrong negro.
The negro was examined yesterday
by Drs. Folk and Glider, and pronoun-
ced a lunatic. The Sheriff sends him
down to the Asylum to-day.

Sniffles' Cow.
Sniff1es has a garden. most family
men who have a habitation and q name
have one, and it is a pretty fair garden,
at least so he thinks, and has been care
fully worked up. He keeps cow.
! which keeps his children in milk, and
his constant care is to keep her in
shucks, and also to keep her in her pen.
Garden and pen are close together
there is barley in one hnt not in the
other, except when basket full is taken
from the latter. His cow being an ami
NAL of high intelligence has made note
of this and has often shown a wiling
ness to get in and crop the srcculent
grain and thereby save the trouble of
cutting, but Sniifles objected to this, and
kept his eye on COW and gate. In an
unguarGed moment the gate was left
open and the next the cow was IN. She
cropped here, and cropped there; over
yonder the barley looked higher and
must be sweeter. and she went over
there; up in Il corner she spied a hot
bed. and the plants in that looked differ"
ent-they were cabbage plants and very
fine. 1t did not take long to get there.
The box or bed is six feet long and
twenty inches broad, and she scooped it
up lengthwise, and having no cards she
left five footprints in token that she had
called and there was no one in. The
next visit vas to bed of tender rad
ishes, to them she rendered the tender
est regard. and then through a row Of
onions. This vegetable was not 10 her
taste. and she put her foot down on
them bursing them deep into the soft
mould. There was nothing else above
ground to damage, but suspecting seed
to be in the ground in other places this
intelligent COW took steps to prevent
them from ever coming to the light and
succeeded. To Sniflles' credit, be it
said, he did not utter single cuss
word.

What word shall friendship wrire
For friendships page SO fair
What thought shall kind intent indite,
That shall be treasured there
Wealth might ask for thee,
Freedom from every sorrow.
Each day more blissful still should be,
With an unclouded morrow.
But rather would seek
For thee, my fair young friend,
That better life, patient and meek,
With golden, fruitful end.

To temper down the sun;
Bright ev'y hour with kind deeds made,
Aud Heaven when all is done.

Almost a Fire.

Almost Fire.
Mr.. T. R. Wright while walking
along the street Friday about - o'clock
saw smoke issuing through the cracks
of the large wooden building on Boyce
Street, next below the Treasurer's office.
On the door being opened a carriage
cover in the upper corner Of the front of
the building was found to be in blaze,
and one of the studs of the building had
also caught from it and was blazing.
The fire was extinguisbed without diff
Guilty; but if the discovery had been
only few minutes later it would have
been impossible to save the building.
The wind was blowing furiously, and
had this building gone there is no tell
ing where the fire would have stopped;
it would certainly have resulted in
terrible confagration. The building is
used by Messrs. Coppock and Martin as
a warehouse for the storage of buggies,
and by Mr.. Jno. A. Kinard for the sto-
rage of cotton. The origin Of the fire
is not known. The front door had not
been opened during the day previous to
the discovery of the fire; the back door
had been opened for portion Of the
morning by Mr.. Kinard, who was haul
ing cotton out of the warehouse to the
depot. 1t is possible that some one may
have slipped in through the back door
and started the fire, but not at all pro-
bable. The most probable theory is
that the fire originated from spark
from the stovepipe of the Treasurer's
Office adjoining; but a carefal exami-
nation revealed DO defect in the hue.
1t is very strange altogether.

Ice House-Commendable Enterprise

Mr.. A. G. Jones has shown an
enterprise in tue bailding of an ice
house which entities him to great cred
it, and which we are sure will be ap-
preciated by the public, and result in
the end to his profit, it is hoped. The
building Of the ice house or receptacle
for ice has been attended with consid-
cradle outlay, and more, perhaps, than
he can possible get back in dollars and
cents in one season, but he will have
the satisfaction Of knowing that he has
filed a long felt want, and done that
which no one else has heretofore had the
courage to do. Ola capacity to hold 3d.
900 lbs, our community need be under
no apprehension hereafter but that IN
article so essential can always be had,
and that. too, at e price far below what
has been paid for it in the past. All
praise to an enterprise which will do so
much for Newberry.
