gently confscated the doctors rifle,
leaning against the tree.
Macarthur, quietly smoking, was
awaiting the conclusion of the doctors
! observation, to add something in the
same line, when he became aware that
the clump of bushes Immediately be-
yond, and upon which he was absently
gazing, partly sheltered several crouch

take the outlines of the sinewy form
which, slowly rising from the ground,
obtruded between his vision and the
starlit sky beyond.
While the three sat specifies, seven
| fully-armed Indian warriors came forth
| from the darkness and made them pris-
oners.
The latter, who were so disposed to
admire their own precautions, had
left their four guns in such positions
that the red men had only TO pack
them up without struggling for them.
True, each tourist carried a pistol,
but they did not use them. The In
dams had not yet done anything for
which they deserved instant death.
But the seven wise aborigines meant
business from the first, for they robbed
the captives of everything excepting
! their clothing They took their guns,
pistols, ammunition, game (of which
there was not great deaD and horses,
leaving the owners in a most sorry
plight.
This was bad enough, but rather
singularly they spared the lives of the
white men, turning them loose, hum
dreds of miles from home.
Then, having made the robbery, as
complete as possible, the eaptors with
drew, and left the others to their medl-

A areenbaok Club was organized at Seneca

Greenback Club was organized at Seneca
City on lost Saturday. numbering sixty mem-
bers, with Rev. II. N. Hays as President. Mr..
w. W. Russell, Greenbaoker Of Anderson
county, Sns present aud addressed tho Club.
giving his views upon the Greenbaok question
and other kindred subjects as he understands
them. We learn that there were about 100 colorod
voters present to hear Mr.. Russell, but when lie
announced 10 them that this was a white mans
government and that the white man intended to
keep and hold it, tho negroes scattered as if q
bumb she'll had fallen amoug them. We suppose
the coored voters of Oconee from henceforth
will not take much stock in the Greenbach
movement. 1t is strange to our mind that
sensible man like Mr.. Russell should be at
tempting 10 build up new party in our Stale
and creating divisions and disscnsions in tho
Democratic ranks just at this Tine There can,
in the very nature of things, be only two parties
| in this State Qhe Democratic aud Republican,
for long time TO como. The Democrats con-
not afford 10 divide up and the Republicans or
Radicals in this State stick pretty close together.
Mr.. Hardy X. Cilsrap, of Oconee, has had q
rough experience at tho hands Of the Internal
Revenue authorities. IIc was arrested aud
| carried before Commissioner Thornley,, at Pick
ems, on charge Of selling liquor. On exami-
nation before that officer Giistrap was dis
charged. Later another warrant for the same
| offence was obtained for Gilstrap and no was
brought before Commissioner Thompson, who,
| upon examination Of The case. also discharged
him. Recently third warrant was obtained
for Gilstmp for the snmc offence and he was
brought before the latest Commissioner MerIick,
who, upon examination, sent the case up to the
Federal Court at Grcenville for trial. There
was some proof before Acssrs. Thornley, and
Thompson that Gilstrap had sold very small
quantity Of the liquor he had procured in Two
| gallon jug for medical purposes and the near
| approach of Christmas. This case has already
cost the Government over 500 and will cost yet
more, 10 sny nothing Of the Inconvenience oc-
| casioned Mr.. Gilsrap, who is well known in our
county rs n respectable, law abiding man. In
justice il ought to be said that the Commissioners
last named were not aware That warrants had
previously been issued against Glstrap and his
case inquired into by competent authority.

Firewood,

Wood seasons much more rapidly
when split, therefore it is economy not
only to fell and haul wood for fuel from
the lot before stormy weather and heavy
roads are at hand, but to cut it in shape
for stove and fireplace at the same time
Wet, sappy wood in not only wasteful,
but it is a source of veXatiOn and dis
comfort. In the burning of dry wood
the heat is nearly all of it available,
while from one-half to two-thirds of the
heat produced during the consumption
of green wood escapes latent and useless
in the evaporating sap and water.
In selecting wood for fuel it becomes
a matter of economy to take for firewOOd
such sorts only as will do best service in
range and stove, leaving behind for
rails, timber and fence-posts the varie-
ties which, while possessing little value
as regards their heating qualities, stand
in the foremost rank for durability un-
der exposure to the weather, other
things being equal. Shell-bark hickory
is regarded as representing the highest
standard among forest trees for fuel, and
calling that 100, other trees will compare
with it for real value as fuel as follows:
Shell-bark hickory, 100; pignut hickory,
90; white ash,S7 white oak, 50; dog
wood, 70; scrub oak, 73; white hazel,
p; apple tree, 20; red oak, 81; white
beach, 65; black birch, 81; yellow oak,
hard maple. SO; white elm, 5S; red ced-
ar, sc; wild cherry, 50; yellow pine, 81;
chestnut, so; yellow poplar, A; butter
nut and white birch, 43, and white pine,

Railroad Progress.

There is something in railroad pro-
gress at this time that is worthy of re-
mark However little we think of it
now, history viii record that in the last
days of 1881 the second dtranscontinental
pathway in America was broken from
sea to sea. With the laying of few
more rails and the driving of q few who're
spikes trains may be run from the Mis-
sissippi to the California coast and the
Southern Pacific line will be reality.
1t means quick transit, the development
of immense stretches of fair land and the
establishment of new and far greater
southwest than that which heretofore
has borne the name.
Meanwhile the third grand highway
is being pushed vigorously, and before
the rails of the Southern Pacific shall
have become bright from use the North
ern Pacific will extend from the lakes to
the western sea.
Even before the wheels are rumbling
their thousands of miles over these two
lines of steel, the ore that is to be
stretched from Chicago half way to the
equator is in the furnace. Even as the
people awake to realize the gigantic inn
port of the project the City of Mexico
will be brought within short week 8
ride of Philadelphia. The decade that
has Just closed was filed with the talk
of great schemes, but II one may draw
conclusions from the work Of this closing
year. the eighties win ba crowned with

A Hen that Sang.

A novel case was heard before Squire
Wilson of East Nottingham township,
Chester Co., Pa, recently. Last spring
farmer of East Nottingham had thirty
chickens stolen. Summer wore away,
but no traces of the lost fowls. A few
days ago the chicken owner visited q
farmer in the same township, and whilo
looking at the fowls on the premises
saw a hen which he thought resembled
one of the number stolen from him. He
inquired how the farmer obtained it,
when a conversation followed, and con-
cluded by, the poultry owner saying: '.H
that chicken comes to me when I call
her by name she is mine" This was
agreed to. ''Annie, Annie,'' called the
owner, and sure enough the hen came
to him. Jump upon my hand" Up
jumped Annie. '.Now sing for grain
of corn, Annie,n called the owner. The
pretty little hen Immediately began to
sing in her fowlish style solo which
thoroughly convinced the two men to
whom she rightfully belonged. The
thief and pet chicken were brought be-
fore the squire, who heard the story
and Annie's solo and sentenced the

Heating Cars With Chemicals.

The new plan devised by French en-
gineer for heating railway cars appears
to give satisfactory results so far. 1t
consists simply in the use for the foot
warmers of acetate of soda. substance
which has considerable latent heat, and,
dissolving at a certain temperature. ;;b-
serbs large quantity of heat. which be-
comes sensible during crystallization in
cooling. All that is required is to fill
the ordinary cases with sufficient
amount of the acetate, close them, and
place them in stove at about one hum
dred degrees. The cooling of case
thus charged and heated takes from
twelve to fifteen hours. Two warmers
are thereafter taken from the compart-
ments and placed in 4 stove, where the
crystals of soda acetate are re-dissolved,
hey are then ready for fresh use. The
advantages claimed for this system are.
No necessity of changing warmers every
5wo or three hours, or of maintaining
numerous employees to attend to them,
also economy in cost of heating, etc.

The tombs grow denser as we pass
down the valley, as the Jews strive in
life to locate their tOmbs as near in death
to Mount Moriah as they can. Now
we enter the dry brook Kedron. We
see Arabs digging in the piles of gravel
and rubbish for old pottery. What forP
To pulverize for cement. It makes rare
and valuable cement, and thus the ruins
of one age becomes the habitation and
support Of another. Then we turn down
the rocky, meandering Kedron, to the
fountain of the Virgin. 1t is said that
here the Virgin washed the clothes of
the Child. Various rubbish is told
about this fountain, and various modes
to account for the appearance of the
water were given, until some little sci
ence was brought to bear on the phe
nomenon of its irregular flow. We see
many women here washing clothes in a
most motherly way, and filing their
goat skins for the irrigation of their lit
tie gardens below. We retrace our
steps and go up out of the cave into the
somber light of the valley. Tombs of
the Judges and tombs of the
Prophets old and new, surround our
steps. There are tombs on every side.
Indeed, we begin to find the place pop
Will OtucIS OCSluC tuC uCou.
There are waters flowing here, and some
green results appear. Old Arabs in
striped mantles appear also with an
tiques to sell in the shape of coins in
the time of Titus, and pottery in the
age of Herod. We buy much doubt
fully, for ever so little. Now we are
under the southeast corner of the Tenn
pie plateau. How finely the battlements
stand. This is, indeed, Jerusalem, and
fills every expectation. From the village
opposite comes the sound of rude
flute and the jabber of multitudes. The
hills opposite are terraced and tenanted
to their tops. In the valley below are
some olives, some cabbages and cow.
A few carouba trees and many cavas; a
few vegetable plots and many donkeys.
From another point Sloan seems larg-
er village. We pass a well; there is a
bronzed Rachel at it, filling her goat
skins with water to irrigate her patch
below in the Kings Garden" The
lime rock and soil are very white, and
the dust and gravel very thick, and the
wonder is that, even with water, any
thing can grow here. Here we are
called on to examine SOME excavations
recently made bya German paleontolo-
gist. He had found the old wall of the
city, and was proceeding to make out of
his inner consciousness the Temple, in
all its parts and majesty of proportion,
when the good Pasha called halt on his
