A BABY'S ADVENTURE.

A remarkable incident has occurred on
the Midland Railway at Birmingham. A
lady, on reaching Saltley Junction with
a quantity of luggage and baby, wac
told that she must change for New-Street
Station. In her hurry she placed her
baby in a frst-class compartment and
then went to the goods van to look after
her boxes, but before she could return to
the compartment where she had deposited
the infant the train started, leaving the
terrified lady standing on the platform.
Almost distracted, she cried aloud for
help and tainted away, but on recovering
consciousness was placed in cab with
instructions to be driven to the central
station, Birmingham, as last as possible.
The baby, in the meantime had been
carried through the tunnel kicking and
screaming to the alarm of other passen-
gers on the train, and on arrival at New
twas found, to the establishment of the
railway officials, to be the only occupant
of the carriage. 1t was at first imagined
that some one had deserted the child, and
and a conference was held as to what had
best be done with it. Just at this time
gentleman sauntered up and inquired
what was the matter. Before an explain
alton could be given him the baby, who
had so far been crying and screaming
Justify, suddenly began TO clap its hands
and look pleased, whereupon the gentle
man exclaimed; why, Gear me, this is
my own dear neice." The gentleman
had arrived at the station with the inten-
ton of meeting his sister, Naturally
the greatest excitement prevailed as to
what had become of the mother, but the
arrival of the affrighted lady in acab
quickly set matters right.-PaU Mall

While Ida Anderson, of Brooklyn, aged
II years, was going to shop, young man
of light hair and complexion met her at
the door and asked her to let him wrap
up some money which she had in her
hand. The girl gave him the money and
he pretended to wrap it in piece of pa
per which he handed to her, but when
she opened the paper the money was not
there. The same day Sarah Mcmahon,
of Brooklyn, aged IL years, was seut on
an errand by her mother. On the street
she was accosted by young man who
asked her to let him see her peck
aud when he returned it she found that
the 50 bill which it contained was miss
ing. Evidently ssme mean spirited thief
has taken up the "kimchin lay" which
Dickens gave to Noah Claypole in "Oliv-
er Twist" The cowardice of this sort Of
thieving is almost as bad as its dishones
ty.
The particulars are given of horrible
accident near Waukau,s Winnebago Co
Mr.. Trougert, section boss on the St.
Paul, his wife and baby, accompanied by
his daughter and her husband and child,
who live near Rust Lake, were riding on
a hand-car. Mrs. Trougert's bat blew off
and in reaching out for it her baby slip
ped out of her hands in front of the
car. The little one was caught UP by
the gear wheels and in an instant was
crushed among the gears and wound
about the shafts of the machinery, being
torn limb from limb and its flesh cram
med in the mashes of the cogs The car
was thrown from the track, and those up
on it were hurled same distance Both
women were seriously hurt and are now
in precarious condition, while the other
child was also fatally Injured. The re,
mains of Trougert's child were pried
from between the wheels and gearing of
the car, and its body was so tightly wedg.
ed in places that it had to be cut loose.
The pieces of the body were placed in an
old shoe box at Waukau.
A few weeks ago when the prospects
seemed to indicate Republican victory
in Ohio, some of the Democratic news
papers, such as the New York Sun and
World, began to hedge and assert that the
result in Ohio would have no national
significance whatever, and gave as a rea-
son that "local questions overshadowed
all others. But now, since the state has
astonished them by going Democratic,
they pretend to see in it the .forerunner
of gfeat national victory for the Democ
racy next Chicago Journal.
Ex.Secretary of State VIM. M. Evarts
has been honored by some western trav-
elers. The honor consists in the naming
of mountain peak at the northeast cor
ner of the Yellowstone Park "Mount
Evarts." The melted snow from Mount

"the battle rages." We suppose they
allnde to the vain struggle of all other
shoe houses South of the Potomac to
compete with them; to compete with
them either in goods, low prices, OF we'll
deserved popularity. And certainly no
struggle could be vainer than this. AS
regards Edgefeld, in view OF Mulherin
&c Co., the only battle that RACES is to see
who can get to them first each season
all seasons-and buy the most from them.
And as regards Edgefleld, all things else
may fail and fall, but not Mulherin q
Co! When the Day of Judgment comes,
Edgefeld people will all be found hop
ping about in shoes from Mulherin q

MANGANESE IN DEMAND.-A letter
was received yesterday by gentle
man now in this city asking him to
obtain twenty pounds of manganese
ore from the deposit near Dorn's
Mine, in .Abbeville County, as a sam
pie for Mr.. S. J. Ritchle, of Akron,
Ohio, who speaks Of coming South
and desires to have the ore analyzed.
Mr.. Ritchie is a capitalist who wants
to invest some money in South Caro-
lima, and, if the ore proves satisfactory
to him, will probably seek an invest
.nent in developing the deposit. The
sample will be sent to him as soon as
it can be procured. The deposit OF
manganese at Dorn's Mine is exceed
ingly fre.-NeaOs and Courier.

hood Of Batesburg seems to be in
tested with a gang Of bale cotton
thieves. Mr.. Lodwick Hartley and
DR.. II. M. Folk have each had two
bales stolen from their gin houses, and
two or three others have lost one bale
each. Some good detective work
ought to be done and the rogues fer.
reted out. It is a bold and daring theft
to drive into mans gin house lot
at night and carry off two bales OF
cotton. but having succeeded in so
many instances, unless more vigorous
measures ale adopted to ferret out the
guilty parties and oring them to jus.
tice we may expect to hear of still
further depredations in the same line

Be Up and Doing, Highway Super
intendentS and 0verSeesS.

In another column, County Com
missioner Dobey warns all highway
superintendents and overseers in his
Division to at once call out road
hands and begin work. In the pres
ent condition of orr highways, small
and nice work in detail would be al
most thrown away, but now is the
very time for certain preliminary
hard work and heavy ditching. There
fore Commissioner Dobey's call is
wise and opportune.
And now is also the time for us to
say in general way that our County
Commissioners need not be afraid to
spend time, labor and money on the
roads. The people will cheerfuily
sanction outlay in that direction; for
our bad roads are an evil which they
feel seriously, and see the necessity
for correcting every day and hour
Many steep grades which are now a
terror to farmers can be avoided by
slight reflections in the present lines
Of the roads; an hundreds OF holes
and gullies and rocks which will cost
a wheel apiece can be filed, removed
rendered permanently sale, by wise
work and the avoidance OF temporary
makeshifts and slovenly patching.
And as regards the roads near our
town, we night say to our merchants
that it is probably the most import
ant matter that csn now receive their
attention. Good dirt roads are worth
more to us now than any railroad or
other improvement, for many dollars
at or near the edge Of our trading
territory can be brought here by
smooth ana easy thoroughfures.
Let the people think about this
important matter, talk. about it, slim
ulate the Commissioners 10 vigorous
action, and vigorously aid them.
