An Heroic Efee3.

''Greater love hath no mau than this,
tnat man lay down his life for hiu
'lfiend-." This is what Chief Engineer
Balm, of the steamer State IF Florida,
did. The only woman saved from the
wreck OF that vessel was Stewardess Jane
Mcfarland, of Glasgow, and she owed
her life to the .self.sacrifice of the chief
engineer He was in one of the boats
when ne saw that this woman was left on
the sinking steamer. He gave her his
place, returned to the Florida, and went
down with her. Such deed recalls that
thrilling scene OIL the sinking Birken.
head many years ago. There was only
room in the boats for the women and
children, and there were many British
troops on board. At the command Of
their officers those brave men put all the
women and the little ones In the boats ;
then drew mp with parade steadiness on
the deck, sfd as the vessel sank ;hs7
fired voliey and went down with her,
their ranks unbroken to the last. Thai
was collective heroism, but it was no no.
bier than the perfect self: devotion and
manliness which the Scotch engineer
displayed when he deliberately gave 10
bis own life that helpless woman might
be sayed.-Neto York Tribune. -.

A Cyclone In lancaster County,

On last Wednesday evening a destruc.
tive cyclone struck Mr.. Henry Duncan's
plantation in this County, doing consid.
| erable damage to his outhouses and fences.
uprooted large oaks in his yard, stripped
many trees of every vestige of branches
upon them, and literally dest7oyea his
orchard. 1t had the appearance of being
large ball Of smoke bouncing along at
a rapid rate on the surface of the earth.
When it reached the dwelling it com.
pletely enveloped 1t and hid It from view.
and q neighbor CHANGING to see it, mis-.
took It for smoke and thought the house
was burning.
In the Eastern section Of the County
the wind and rain were accompanied by
q most destructive shower OF hail, which
literally ruined the vegetable gardens and
field crops wherever it fell. A regular
cyclone must have struck Mr., Calvin
Massey's plantation in Chesterfield
County, near the Lancaster line, blowing
down many of the outhouses, and then
| swept down both sides of Lynche's River.
annihilnting everything in its pathway.
s little negro was blown 6eYeFs, hundred
yards and not found ill next day, Whnt
the wind failed to do in the way of
destruction was fully accomplished by the
mammoth hailstones. One hundred.
acres of fine young cotton on Mr.. Mas

ing of every acre.. The plantations of
Richard McManus, Erwin Robertson, f.
NJ. Lowry, Emanuel Faile, Samuel Belk,
Jefferson Funderburk and others along
and near the banks of Lynche's River
were subjected to similar treatment. Mr..
Jefferson Funderburks house was blown
down, one of his arms broken by the fall
ing timbers aud his wife fatally injured
by stroke across the breast by dying
limb. Q
The thriving little town of Taxshaw
came in for its share of the damages. Mr..

down but large bodies of line timber de-.
stroyed and many of his tenants will have
to replant their entire crops. In .act,
distressing accounts of the storm coma to
US from that whole section of the County.
1t will be difficult matter for many os

A Long Lost Husband Found.

MARIETTA, Ga, May 14.-Six years
ago there lived in cozy country home at
Battle Creek, John Maginnis, who had
but year before won the heart and
hand Of Miss Emily Rogers. A little
girl blessed the first year of thei- married
life, The young couple were among the
attendants at Camp.meeting on Salem
Camp Grounds in 1879. One night the
revenue officers entered the tents and ar.
rested six men, among whom was John
Maginnis, and carried them off to At.
lanta on charge of illicit distilline,
The young wife was in the greatest grief
at the loss Of her husband, aud the whole
congregation was deeply stirred by what
In their eyes was desecration Of the
sacred spot. Mr.. John Hockenhall, since
dead, who was one Of the wealthiest citi.
zens of Dawson County, proceeded short.
ly after to Atlanta for the purpose of
giving bail for the arrested men. On
arrival there he was told that Maginnis
had effected his escape under dozen
shots fired by his guards in the skirt of
woods near Cumming, bat that in tie
darkess of the night they found it impos.
sible to find him. a week and q month
passed and no word came of the missing
man, and Mt last it was believed that he
must have been wounded, and, escaping
to some out of the way place, died. The
young wife, however, clung to the belief
that her husband would return, until at
last there seemed no ground left for
hope.
A young man who had been former
lover pressed his suit, and ct last Mrs.
aginnis agreed that If nothing wes
armed Of hey husband By May ehs would
J stem to him. May came aud, more in
t1rrowful resignation than in Joy, Mrs.
Maginnis began making preparations for
her pdptials. On Friday q bearded man
made his appearance at her house and in
him she found her long lost husband.
His story Was that he was afraid that the
revenue officers would take him away.
and going West he got into the cattle
business in Montana. Neglect 10 write
for month made him ashamed to write
later, and thus years past until the week
before Inst, when, having counted his
possessions at Helena, Montana, he found
himself worth $4,000. He then deter.
mined to come in person for his wife and
child, and yesterday the happy family
took Western and Atlantic train for
their distant home.

When Sugar Was Invented.

The exact date of the invention of
6ussr is lost Ia the midst of fable, How.
ever, sugar is said to have been known
to the Chinese three thousand years ago.
and there 10 not much doub: but that The
manufacture of the article was carried on
under the Tsin dynasty two hundred
years before Christ. A strong claim for
priority has been made for India, Prob.
ably the Hindoos learned the art from
the chinese, and from China the knovl.
edge. was carried farther West. Three
hundred and twenty-five years before
Christ, Alexander sent Nearchus with
large fleet down the Indus to explore the
adjacent countries. When that officer
returned from his expedition he brought
to Greece IN account Of honey (sugar)
which the Asiastics made from cane.
without any assistance from bees. This
was the earliest idea the Western nations
iiad ot sugar, the JsUs, Egyptiaas, Haba.
iohihns and GreskB knowing nothing OF
its use. AS late as A. d. $50 sugar was
prescribed by Galen, tho famous physi.
clan, as medicine. Before tho discoy.
cry OF America sugar was costly luxury.
used only on rare occasions. During the
wars of the Roses, about l455, Margaret
PastoD, wife of very wealthy country
gentleman. Of Norfolk, wrote to her hus.
band begging that he would "vouchsafe"
70 send her pound of sugar. As late as
100 oil England consumed only twenty
million pounds in the course Of year,
but since the consumption has greatly ii.
creased, twenty million hundredweipht
now being used by the English people.
The process of refining sugar was not
known in England previous TO 1859.
That was probably an invention of the
Arabs. A Venetian merchant learned
the secret from tho Sasacens of Sicily.
and sold the art for one hundred thou.

sition and threats of her father aud

cured buggy and, accompanied by his
son, started in hot pursuit. Biggs and
his intended bride, unconscious Of the
chase, arrived at the river, and entering
q skif started across. Hardly had they
left the bank, however, when the pursu.
ers dashed down to the shore. Jumping
into another boat the young LADY, father
and brother followed the lover, at the
same time calling upon them to stop.
When about half way across the river
the fngitives were overhsUled, and, drop.
ping their oars, the father and his son
sprang into the boat. The former grap-
pied with Biggs and his son took his
sister into the other boat. A struggle
ensued between tho irate father and
young Biggs, in the course of which the
akif was overturned aud the father and

her brother reached the shore in safety.
The news Of the affair spread rapidly,
and the next morning searching party

weighs two pounds. 1t 10 finished in

It Eakes its own steam, pumps water
