but as it proved, rather clumsy
trick, lie dccoyed a colo ed boy
INTO Mr.. Riggs lumber yard, and told
him to stay there and look for Il bot
tie or flask he had hid under the
lumber until he returned. He then
went up and got the police down to
capture the boy he said lie had
caught stealing the lumber. On his
way down however, the party met The
boy, who had come out. While the
police were going around to the
Western side Of the yard, he again
managed to dccoy the boy back into
the yard to the position in which he

ALMOST CRUSHED. Mr.. d. II.
Pace, machinist, who had visited
our County for the erection Of some
works, was taking the train on Fri
day merning, he was almost crushed
between the wheels Of the cars. He
was delayed a little by attending to
an express package, and the train
getting we'll under way, he attempted,
with a valisc. IN his hands, to catch
the ratings in one hand from the
platform and jump in. lie, however,
missed his toothold and his body
swung back against the carr between
itand the platform while he held on
with one hand. Ia this perilous
position he managed to hold him
self until the cars were stopped and
he was rescued. It should serve as a
warning tc those venturing too much
in jumping on the train.

IMMIGRANTs.-T Barnwcll I'co-
ptc says that immigrants in that
County have proven failure. They
are dissatisfied with their employers
and their employers are mutually
dissatisfied with them. Tie diHicul-
ty is, brother, that we don't get the
right kind. By the statistics Of wa
ges i'll different States Of the Union,
we don't believe South Carolina is
rich enough yet to get better labor,
and besides that, our farmers arc too
accustomed to the go easy style OF
the present labor. The kind of i'm,
migrant we want in South Carolina
is the land buyer.

Hygienic Value Of Mirth,

But, aside from all this, mirth has an
hygienic value that can hardly be over
rated while our social life remains
what the slavery of vices and dogmas
has made IL. Joy has been called the
sunshine OF the heart, yet the same sun
that calls forth the flowers of a plant
is also needed to expand its leaves and
ripen its fruits; and without the stimu-
lus Of exhilarating pasliincs perfect
bodily health is as impossible as moral
and mental vigor. And, as sure as o
succession Of uniform crops will ex-
haust the best soil. the daily repetition
of monotonous occupation will wear
out the best man. Body and mind re-
quire an occasional change of employ
ment, or else liberal supply OF fertil-
ling recreations, and this reonirement
is factor whose ommissio often fols
the arithmetic OF our political econ
omists.
To the creatures Of the wilderness af-
fiction comes generally in the form of
impending danger-famine or persist
ent persecution; and under such cir
cumslances the notifications of the
vital process seem to operate against
its long continuance; well-wishing ma
ture sees her purpose defeated, and the
vital energy flags, the sap of life runs
to seed, On the same principle an OK
is,ence of joyless drudgery seems to
drain the springs of health, even at an
age when they can draw upon the larg-
est inner resources; hope, too often
bailied, at last withdraws her aid; the
tongue may he attuned to canting
hymns of consolation, but the heart
cannot be deceived, and with its sink
ing pulse the strength of life GIBBS
away. Nine-teDths of our city children
are literally starving for lack of recre-
alton; not the means of life, but its OBJ
iect, civilization has defrauded them

Prosperity in Ireland.

The situation in Ireland in a material
point of view is exceedingly encourag-
ing. A great change has occurred dur
ing the past twelve months, and the
dismal tales of suffering and famine
that were waited across the Atlantic
have been succeeded by much more
cheerful intelligence. The farmers, as
n rule, are well off, for the good and
sufficient reason that the majority of
them either pay no rent at all OF only
such an amount as they deem proper.
A large number of persons, it is true,
have been evicted, but they and their
families are assisted out of the Land
League funds which are so generously
subscribed in this country. The cable
brings information, however, that one
portion of the population--namely, the
first laborers-are Disconnected, and in
some counties are marching through
the country demanding higher wages.
They are, in fact, on strike. This is
a good sign Of the times. A strike al
ways presupposes that the men engaged
in it are at work and earning at least
some kind of a living. II may be a
poor one. but half loaf is better than
no bread. which was the condition of a
large portion Of the population Short
time ago. Taken all in all Ireland is
perhaps as prosperous to-day as she
has been at any time within the past
ten years. IN. Y. Herald.

Slavery in the Transyaal.

Rather dark shadow is thrown up
on the Beers love of liberty by a num-
Der of aflidavits recently laid before the
British Royal commission in South AT
RIGA by natives and residents relative
TO the existence of slavery in the Trans
yaal, and the outrages TO which Eng
lish settlers and loyal Beers have been
subjected. Among the afiidayits are
three from natives who have been
bought and sold as slaves by the Beers.
one OF them having been in slavery for
ten years from 1866 to 1876 Mr..
Thorne, a curale of Gutenberg, testi-
iies that when Pretorious was president
ne saw in the streets of Pochefstroom
n number Of young natives just brought
as slaves from Zoutspansberg. One Of
them WAS owned by the state attorney,
and it was commonly stated that the
president himself was one OF the most
extensive slave-traders. He also saw q
copy OF a register kept in the Land
drosts Office of 4S0 men, women and
children who had been sold by one
Boer TO another one for n goat, an
other for blanket, etc. Many cases
of extreme cruelty came under his OBJ
servation just before the annexation.
A woman, for instance, was logged at
Kruggers Post so that she died during
the night, and about the same time q
native was chased and shot; but for
these things no one was ever punished.
