Ton Much Affections"

A dispatch last week announced that
a ''young man" in New York had COM
menced suit against young lady of the
same city for ten thousand dollars for
kicking" him, claiming that his aliec-
tions had been damaged to that amount
by the aforesaid ''klcking.' This fellow
must have had a powerful stock Of ''af-
fections" on hand, and the young lady
must have been kicker" Of the first
magnitude. or he certainly couldn't have
suffered so severely. The jury ought
to acqmt the fair defendant on the
ground that no man ever owned ten
thousand dollars worth of affections"
at one time, and. further, that 1t is one
of the inalicnable rights Of our girls to
kick" whom they please. This is the
position we hold on this question, and
if an Orangeburg Young man ever gets
so ungallant as to sue one OF our fair
maidens because sic exercises her right
of ..kicking." The TINES AND DEMO
GRAFT would advocate ''ridlng him on a
rail-" There is no room ia Orangeburg
County for sncll .'tendcr hearted" man.

Is, says: Miss Josie Hill, Young
lady from Alabama. has been on visit
to relatives here for some time. Mr..
North Hill is her fathers brother. She
was about sixteen years old. and charm
ing in all her ways. Last night, about
ten O'Clock. sac retired with her cousins
to their room. Before wooing tired ma
ture's sweet rcstcrcr. balmy Sleep she
drew a chair up near the bed, and, with
tumDler in her hand. blew out the
light and drank something. Miss Alice.
her cousin. says she heard her make a
noise like the rustling Or unfolding Of
paper. Ia few moments she began
Having spasms, and before they could
send for physician she died." The poi

The Washington Gazette says Arthur
as President is san inbecileI;~butr IN
mercy TO him and to save the country
from shame, it refuses to speak what it
knows of the personal habits of the
President. Italso magnanimously refuses
to tell what it ''knows of some of his
Cabinet Ministers" 1t Itconcludes a dou-
blc-leaded editorial by saying:
s'All we have to say is that, from
knowledge and belief, no such an Ad-
ministratlon ever before existed in this
country, aud none like it ever should ex-
ist again. We admit the shame"
What all this means we cannot guess.
It looks like there is something ugly be-
hind. The Gazette claims to be of Ar
thurs party. and 1t is printed where it
ought to be able to gather such informa-
ton. If Arthur and members of his
Cabinet are guilty Of conduct that ''de-
grades" and 'sllames" the country. ought
not the American people to know it.
The Gazette ought to tell what lit knows
about the Radical Administration"

The elite Of the Old Bay State, with
the sainsly Hoar at their head, must feel
keenly the exposures now beng made
of the terrible outrages committed at
Tewbsbnry Almshouse. Massachusetts,
and the civilized world owo Governor
Butler a debt Of gratitude for unearthing
one of the greatest outrages Of the pre-

an idea Of the barbarous treatment re-
ceived by the inmates Of this ''charita-
ble', institution, we will make few cx-
tracts from the testimony Of sworn wit
: nesses.5 Mrs. Jennie E. Pope, an enl-
ployee, testified that she had seen Mr..
French take an insane woman by the
back of. the neck and kick her along the
yard until out Of sight, the women mean
while screaming loudly ,and that a woman
was put in cell and allow ed only bread
and water for three days because she
cried to sec her child. In the eyes Of
these human monsters this mothers love
for her babe was an objectionable crime
and merited severe punishment, which
was promptly inflicted in the manner
above mentioned by Mrs. Pope. DR..
Sanborn testified that while he was
student at a dental college he bought the
body OF a woman from Tewksbury for
fourteen dollars. The idea of spcculat-
ing in human bodies seems to be about as
revolving a thing as ''cultuah, and refine
ment" could stoop to, but when John
F. AlcGover, another witness, who work
ed.at a tannery, says that the skin of a
coiefed man was brOugLt to the tannery
from Tewksburry to be tanned, we feel
like calling upon DR.. Webster to so i'm

is wanted, they will be sent for. One of

State warrants audited without us. All

proved by us. Iftherc is no council to
