BURNED TO LEATH.
Shocking Fate of Little Girl at Augusta.

shocking Fate or Little G1rl at aug uSta.
AUGUSTA, Nov. 13.-Au tight year old
daughter of Daniel Eason, colored, who resides
on Prospect street, in this city, was. so horribly
burned by her clothing being set on fire Satur-
day morning that she died yesterday. Itseems
that Mrs. Eason had left her three children
abed about half past six in the morning to go
to Mrs Bussel's, where she had been engaged
to work. MIR. Eason, who went away earlier
in the morning, was returning to the house in
order TO take the children up and give them
their breakfast, as he had often done before
when his wife was obliged to go away early,
was met by man who told him that his child
had been horribly burned. The only evidence
they have as to how the child's clothing came
on fire is from the two remaining children,
aged two and five years respectively. The
Oldest child says that the youngest lit stick in
the fire and then touched it to her sisters
dress. After the child's clothes were on fire,
sho rushed into the door yard and was met
there by an Aver boy who had been attracted
by her screams He tried to remove her CLOTH
ing, but finding that impossible took off his
coat and smothered the flames. DIR. Webster
was called and his directions followed, but to
no purpose, the child dying about O'Clock
yesterday morning in great distress.

Extract from ssPubIic LEDGER Phila-

THE NEW OLIVE BUTTER

is excellent for frying purposes There's something
in name, but probably nothing of The s'olive'' in
the butter except ils color; but, besides being
sured by chemists that this Is perfectly pure veg
etable oil, all house-keepers who have tried it Will
agree that it is extremely economical, and makes
very delicate frying material. Here was formerly
the situation in the kitchen over the trying pan:
You cou take lard, which was not cheap, and
fused np very fast; you had butter, which, besides
being expensive, required sklful cook to keep it
from burning; or you could use salad oil. which,
though costing alarmingly to begin with, required
so little to do the work that the cooking school
would tell you it was like the widows cruise it did
not seem to lose percephbly after frying fifty oys
tiers the bottle was nearly as full before. But
very few American housekeepers could be brought,
which is the frying material of all south Europe
We leave out of the list clarified fat, dripping
because there is seldom enough of this to do the
tire cooking with, even with conscientious person
in the Kitchen who understands how to save and
It all, as it should always be insisted The two
Destknown vegetable oils that this country pro-
duces are cotton seed oil and peanut oil. both of
which are understood to have been for years
exported TO Europe, coming back to us IN
wicker,coyered TASKS as italian olive OIL Real oil
i've oil from California is to small product yet
to count much in the home MARKET The manu-
facturers of the new olive butterwhich is not but
ter at all, but clear greensh oil-haye agreed to
give us home product, warranted pure, without
9he ocean voyage though, to conciliate our Iidicu
lous American prejudices, do not label it cotton
SEED or peanut OIL the fot mel OF which 1t probably
ls Anybody who tries it, will agree that it cooks
as well salad oi and all vegetable oils heat at
lower temperature than the solid animal fats, it
ooes not burn away or waste as rapidly as lard 1t
comes in convenient cans with mouthpiece, like
the kerosene oil can, that you pour off just
tne desired quantity for use, and, after cooking
this can be carefully strained and returned to the
can, except it has been used for fish, when it must
pc put in separate bottle and kept apart for this
use. 1t has slightly pungent smell when cooking

The Square Man.

The square man measures each
way, and he hasn's got any winny
edges or shaky lumber in him. He
is free from knots and sap, and will
not warp. He is clear stuff, and
don't care what you work him up
into, he will neither swell nor shrink,
He is among men what good kiln.
dried boards are among lumber to
carpenters, he will not season crack.
1t don't make any difference which
side of him you come up to, he is
square each way, and the only way
to get at him any way is to face him
He knows he is square, and conse,
quently never spends any of his time
TO prove it. The square man is on.
of the best shaped men the world ha,
ever produced; he is one of those
kind Of people who can't alter to fl
a spot, the spot must be altered t.
fit him.

,gr'mbling and growing over the
wrongs he bears, and the corruptions
he observes in the administration of
the government of others, he at the
same time evinces very little energy
and activity in correcting these
wrongs Or seeking to prevent their
recurrence. The farming interest is
the absolute power in the land, and
where they take the time and oppor.
tunity to protect themselves, they
seldom fail. They are not power
less in effecting wholesome legisla.
tion, but on the contrary form such
q gigantic unity that they can de-
mand it and necessitate It. But, If
the farming interest and working
element of the country are content
to turn over the matter of govern
mcnt to Others, and willing to leave
the politics of the day to be manipu-
lated by those who have keener re-
gard for individual preferment and
personal emolument chan public
good, just so long will their interest
be partially neglected, and they
made to bear the wrongs Of which
they SO greivously complain. Every
man is factor in the government
and as such has duty incumbent
upon him, and it is a mark Of good
citizenship as well as good manage
ment and high regard for self interest
for every man to take part in the
politics of the day, and see that
good men are elected to positions
of trust Hope News.

Mr.. Ben. II. Bacchus for reelection
to the office of County and Circuit
Court Clerk of Mississippi county
His announcement will be found un.
der the proper heading in our column
of announcement. Mr.. Bacchus, SC
far, is without opposition; and as he
has discharged the duties of the Office
with so much efficiency, there is a
widespread demand for his retention
he has served but one term, and
having proven himself the right mar
in the right place, there is no dispo.
sition on the part of the people tc
shove him aside. His record for f.
deity and efficiency in the discharge
of a public trust, will in his case, be
the best kind of electioneering docu.
ment. Let Ben. have the Clerks of.
fee another term.

We clip the following for the ben
eft Of the large majority of the vo-
ters who absented themselves from
the primary conventions, and who
though they had ar opportunity to
express their choice, and neglected
it, will be sure to find fault and
giumble at the action taken by
the few who had the manliness to
meet and select men to FIJI the vari-
Gus positions of trust on the State
ticket:
alt is often the case that you
hear agriculturists bemeaning the
idea that all Legislation and heavy
taxation is directed against their in
terest, and denouncing every politi-
cal movement as being subversive OF
their interests, and in direct opposi-
ton to all justice and fairness. And
while you hear this you preceive at
the same time the lethargy and dis
interestedness of the man toward
every duty whose performance would
tend TO shift the burden of which he
50 bitterly complains. He seems to
conclude that he is entirely discon-
nected with the management and
manipulation of his governmental
affairs, when in fact he is part and par
Gel, and necessary component in those
affairs for them to exist It all While

LIEUT.. KNIGHT, officer in charge
of the government works on the riv.

about 200 hands this week. The
water is too high to prosecute the
work undertaken, and rather than
squander the government money in
paying hands wages for doing moth
ing he discharged them, and will
wait until the water goes down. This
step, though against the interest of
the men who were getting big wages
for little york, might have been TAX
