Refusing Money for a Verdict

Amusing scenes occur in the Court
House as well as on the stage, and the
Court officials and spectators were
witnesses Of a little incident on Fri
day morning which excited the risl'
bles of those who appreciated the
situation. 1t is custom, and for
what reason few people know, and
therefore consider it more honored
in the breach than the observance,
in tho South Carolina Courts Of Com
mon Plsas for the attorney Of the sue
cessful party in a suit to hand the
foreman ofthe jury dollar in money
upon the rendition of the verdict
Our friend Mex. Scott, for the Fl st
time in his life, was foreman of a
Common Pleas jury, and when the
verdict in the case of Agnew rs
Adams had been rendered, Judge Ba-
con, counsel for the defendant, step
ped forward and rendered the .ore-
man dollar. The foreman looked
at the attorney in astonishment and
rejected the filthy lucre. The lawyer
insisted on paying the dollar, when
the foreman inquired why it was ten
dered. When told it was for the ver-
dict, the foreman grew red and pale
by turns and Indignantly spurned
the offer. The lawyer explained, the
foreman rejected, the lockers on gig

the foreman wsa assured by his com

did he Danish the thought that the

the verdict had oeen bought. When
the scales were removed from the
foreman's eyes, he remarked: II
thought it doggoned strange that a
lawyer would try to buy the whole
twelve men with a silver dollar"
The foreman had no scruples about
showing the dollar after the custom
had been explained to his satisfaction.

The new standard time Of the rail-

universal use. Returns made to the
secretary Of the Time Convention
show that Of the one hundred priuci-
pal cities of the country, exclusive of
the cities on the Pacific coast, seven
weight have adopted railway stand.
ard time as their official local time.
The Pacific lines, including the Un-
ion and Central Paci6cs, are to adopt
the standard time when their spring
schedules 60 into effect, and it is ex,
pected that The entire Pacific coast
will then come into the system. 1t
has been quiet revolution, but much
more thorough than the most san
suine friends of the reform expected
within 80 brief time, and it is easy
to see now that the towns still adher-
ing to the old order of things will
inevitably be forced into the new
system before long. Excepting in
Ohio, where six sites, and in Penn.
s7lvania, where three cities still main
tain their old local time, there are not
more than two cities east of the
Rocky Mountains where local time
different from the railway standard
is now used.

Senator Butler made one good
point in his speech in opposition to
the Blair bill. Referring to the a9.
tonishing increase Of cotton manu-
factures in the South, Gen Butler
cited the fact that during the past
three years, twenty five millions Of
dollars have been expended for cotton
machinery, and that seven millions
and half of this amount was the ad-
ditional cost caused by protective du-
ties. Let the General Government,
said the Senator, lift these and simi-
lar burdens from great productive in-
dustries, that annually increase the
ability OF the State to support her
schools, and the result will be found
far more profitable and acceptable
than direct appropriations for educa
tion from the Nations! Treasury
There is no reason, however, why
the South should not have both aid
for education, and free machinery Tor
cotton spinning and we&ving.-.Ecrs

The New Baptist Church at Lees

LEEsyI1IE, 8. G.. April 4.-On last
fourth Sunday the first regular ser
vice was held in our new but incom7
plete church house. Although the
morning was unfavora9' we had a
good congregation. We shall never
fnrget the brotherly kindness of Revs'
j. E. and Pierce Watson, the pastors
and members of the Methodist church
during the months we worshiped.in
their house. About three fourths of
our church remain unceiled owing to
our inability to raise funds with which
to complete it. A debt of about two
hundred dollars has been created in
bringing the work up to where it
now rests. Without the further aid
of brethren, sisters and friends, thor
opgh completion will be considerably
delayed. This is not desirable. We
want our house complete and fur
nished. Just small amount from
the hands of the Lord g willing work
ers will do this.
At the risk Of mourning their dis.
pleasure, I will state that Miss Carrie

Alleged Discovery of the Original
Mosaic Manuscripts.

LONDON, April S-Literary circles
and the learned societies are excited
over another discovery of sundry
musty scrolls Of parchment contain
ing what is alleged 20 be the original
manuscript Of the Mosaic books of
the Old Testament. The scrolls are
said to have been found in Arabia on
the route that the Israelites must
have taken after their fight from
Egypt towards Palestine, and have
been brought to St. Petersburg.
where they are nov being examined
by DR.. Harkavy.
DR.. Ginsburg, of the map and
manuscript department of toe British.
Museum, being asked hi: opinion IS
to tie genuineness Of the alleged dis
covery replied that the most natural
supposition was that the present
manuscripts were audacious forgeries,
like those attempted to be palmed
off upon the Berlin AMI British mu
seums by Solomon Shapiro. who com
mitted suicide last month. Still, he
was not prepared to give positive
opinion to that effect, but was wait
ing with intense interest, which was
shared by all the professors on the
staff Of the Museum, for the report
of DR.. Harkavy's investigations.
D.. Harkavy, he said, was one OF
the most accomplished OF living He
braists, AMI it would be impossible
to deceive him as to the true charac
ter audvalue of the alleged discovery.

The People Of Georgia Show How
Soon a Good Man is Forgotten
by Their LaxneSS in llon-
Oring his Memory.

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 9.-.When
the late Gov. Stephens died move
.ment was put on foot to purchase
Liberty Hall, in which the dead
statesman had spent bis life, and erect
upon the ground monument to his
memory. After most strenuous eff
forts the amount collected thus far
is only $37l.95. So it is very likely
the project will have to be abandon
ed. What makes this apathy to
ward the collection of money for such
a monument more remarkable is the
fact that hundreds Of young men in
Georgia owe all they have to the late
Governors generosity during his life.
For the last forty years Mr.. Stephens
never had less than ten benefciaries
receiving education for which he fur
nished the whole means. These men
have gone out into the world, entered
the trade Of law, many Of them
amassed fortunes, while all of them
are well 10 do. Notwithstanding all
this, when modest sum is askedito

efactor most niggardly replies are
received. This shows how much graf
itude this people have. The body OF
the late Governor, which yet reposes
in Atlanta, will be removed to Craw-
fordsville in e few weeks, where it
will be placed beside that of his
mother, whom be never saw. Mr..
Stephens used to tell that when a
boy it was his wont to 60 to the grave
of his mother, and, flying upon his
back thee. he would look up into the
passing clouds and endeavor to catch

Genuine American Trichinosis.
A Case in a New York Hospital--How
ills Caused and How it May Be
Avoided.

New York, April lO.-Antonio
Pisino, the young Italian who was
taken to Bellevue Hospital Monday
night suffering from what was found
to be trichinosis, is recovering.
The trichina," said DR.. Biggr,
who has charge of the patient, "are
becoming encysted and as soon as that
process is over they will not be capa-
BILE of doing any further harm"
"How does man get trichinosis?"
the reporter asked.
From eating raw pork. OF course
the pork must contain trichirn. but
it is just as essential that the meat
should be raw, for if the meat were
properly cooked the trichinm would
be killed"
But how does the trichina get
into the pork IN the first place
From the hogs eating the raw
flesh of other animals, particularly
the entrails. The process islike this.
The hog devours the flesh Of an ami
NAL containing the eggs or cysts of
trichinm. When these embryos get
into the stomach the process of diges.
tion dissolves the cysts and the living
trichipn are set free"
DR.. Biggs showed the reporter a
trichirm that had been removed from
Pisino's arm, through the microscope.
The worm looked to be a little more
than an inch long and was curled up
like the letter "s."
"Tne actual length Of the trichir@. :"
said DR.. Biggs, is about one twenty
eighth an inch, and its diameter one
six hundred'h Of an inch. We re
moved from Pisino's arm piece Of
muscle about as large as small pea.
l calculate that it contained from
400 to 500 trichipm Professor Vir-
chow estimated that in half pound
of ham infected with trichinn'th there
were no less than 100000 of the
parasites. "
How could trichinosis be pre-
vented p
By abstaining from eating raw or
only half cooked pork. Another and
perhaps better way is to have all pork
examined before it js sold, as is now
done in Germany. Professor Vlrchow
said that be found trichin@ in one
out of seventy. five American hogs

hogs raised, in Germany he only

Mr.. Editor :. Your denunciation Of

casion for equal surprise and regret
to some Of your readers. We can
not see betrayal of trust" in his
refusal to surrender the educational
Ii. e., sociaD interest Of the mass Of

the hands of the party controlling
the u. S. Government. There has
been repeated evidence since the days
Of negro legislation, forced upon
South Carolina by .. S. bayonets, as
to what the result of such a surren-
der might De- and, for one, I synpa-
thize with the sentiment that the su-
pgeme question in debate was not so
much one of constitutional right or
policy, as Of self-protection,
Tue bitter sectional spirit illustrat
ed by Senator Sherman, who would
not trust the South to administer the
fund provided by this bill, the intro
duct!on Of amendment after amend
ment fixing the distribution Of The
fund with the y. S. Government, and
the fear lest these conditions should
be overlooked by men of both PARTIES
in their anxiety to secure the money,
presented the whole matter in new
light. The humanity Of North and
South was invoked to break down
space enough in the walls of constitu-
tional defence fer the admission of
this votivs offering to Minerva. Who
could say what use would be made
oil it?
Our Senator merits grateful con-.
mendatioD for rising high enough to
look over the immediate golden ad-
vantage, to the cost of enjoying it.
