Like New York, Charleston is built
upon a narrow strip of land, surround
ed on all sides by deep water, and its
possible extent of wharfage is practic-
ally unlimited. The sea is but five
miles away, and the only thing that
places the city at disadvantage, COM
pared with Northern ports, is the bar
at the mouth of the harbor, which linn
its access to vessels drawing not over
seventeen feet of water. The two Jet
ties which are being constructed by the
Government are expected to remove
this difficulty. The north jctty, which
will be 1900 feet in length, has been
completed to height of about seven
feet for two-thirds of the distance,
and the south jetty, which will
have total length of 5000 feet,
has received the first course of
stone for about one third that
distance. The work is under the
direction of Captain J. c. Post, United
States army, who is hopeful that when
completed it will give a channel at least
twenty-six feet across the bar. So far,
over 100000 has been appropriated
for the work, and if no delay occurs in
future appropriations tho entire work
can be finished within the next two
years, and at a cost of something less
than the original estimate of 81 800, 900.

About a year ago Benjamin Hedrick,
of Newark, O., decided nearly 100 acres
of land to his son Charles on condition
that Charles should provide for his faith
Ell, who is 20 years old. Instead of
keeping his share of the agreement
Charles has endeavored to have his
father sent to the poor-house, and on
last Sunday he turned him out of his
house. The old man walked half a
mile in his bare feet to neighbOr's,
through the snow. His feet are so
frozen and swollen that he can not get
his shoes on. The citizens expressed so
much indignation over the matter that
the son took the old man home, but it is
not probable the matter will rest here,
as it is said an effort will be made by
citizens to set aside the deed.

The Wife of Moses.

Rev. Moses c. Welch, writing in the Ne1
Highlander, represents that the wife of his
great nsmesake, the Jewish leader and law
giver, has not received the attention she de-
serves; and in labored article he attempts
to make up, so far as he is able, the deficien-
cy. Like the wife Of Lot, who was turned
into a perpetual pillar of salt, Zipporah, he
thinks, should stand forever as warning to
the world. According to his account she
was another Zantippe; and Moses, to his dy-
Ing day, had special occasion to regret his
staying of the quarrelsome Egyptian, since 1t
drove him down into indian, where he mar
ried this daughter of priest. And yet he
considers that, as In the case of Socrates,
Moses was specially fitted for his mission by
the severe discipline administered by his
wife. This discipline, he says, was "needed
to prepare him to be successful leader of =
fretful, capricious, nnreasoning and rebel
lious people," Instead Of Moses having been
the ''meekest" of men,t text indicates that
he was the most "bowed-down, afflicted and
beplagued" of men. sr.T ssg..fs.l ..#I f

Charcoal ana lime for Fowls.
Exchange.

These two articles play very important
part in the management of fowls, whether
bred in q fancier's yard or on a farm. Char
coal should be literally fed, for no one thing
Is more conducive to health than is this. 1t
should be broken in small Jumps and put
where the fowls can get 1t it, and they will
eat 1t with great relish. We have seen 1t
fed to pigs with the very best results and
those which were treated to Il were never
trrou5led with disease or sickness, while
neighborlng ones were. This helps TO prove
its value, not only for swine but for fowls.
Where the birds are kept In confinement 1t Is
. very good plan to keep small trough In =
sheltered place, full Of small bits Of fresh
charcoal, and the fowls will soon learn to
help themselves. The value Of lime In the
form Of whitewash is well known, and those
who use II literally are the ones who keep
their focks healthy and clean. To render
whitewash more effective In dislodging,driv
Ing away and destroying lice and other par
asitic nuisanccs, the addition Of : little car
bolic acid Is invalnable,tor scarcely anything
else seems so disfasteful to the vermin. Air
siacked lime should be occasionally scattered
over the ficor Of the chicken house, TO remove
unpleasant and unhealthy odors, while {
little Of II should be scattered around the
yards aud runs; for material for egg-shells--
oystsr-shsll Inns Is the best for this pur-
pose.

The Changes Worked by Railroads.
.Siouz City Journal.

sDtouS N"y op"fH"s
Many old Western men who have spent
the best years of their lives in the roaring
mining camps Of the olden times, far away
from railroads, when fortunes were made
In a few months, when money was plenty
and everything dollar pound, still fondly
linger upon the recollections Of the past,
and especially oppose those improvements as
an innovation upon the prosperity Of mining
camps, as offering speedy transportation to
tenderfeet who bring Eastern fashions and
notions Of finance into countries which
should be consecrated to the pilgrims who
crossed the plains years ago in buckskin
breeches. This country now, to use an old
expressive phrase, is :" neither hawk nor
buzzard;" 1t Is too close to railroads to be
an isolated roaring camp, and ID too Ear
away from them to be benefited by them.
Much as we regret 1t there are no mere and
will be no more mining camps such rs
gladcened the hearts of men twenty years
ago. The railroad, are everywhere reach
ing out their arms aud feeders in every Ter
ritory. The first bull train scarcely starts
for the newly discovered mining camp before
the narrow guage railroad is following after
IL. They have become necessity; without
them there can be no progress. No town or
country tries the experiment Of being great
and progressive without railroad.
