The State Fair

The annual State Fair is over, and
many Of us have enjoyed the pleasures
incident to the occasion. In all re-
>pccts. perhaps, the Fair was not as
large as last ycar-but it was in others
a greater success. In the exhibit OF
horses we don't think there has been
anything to excel the ring of two year
Odds exhibited on Wednesday. The
show Of cattle, sheep and goats was I'M
historically fine. The Jerseys were
perhapt the handsoulest display; but
there were some fine herds of liuern-
seys and Ayshircs. In field crops, We
thought the display not very good. In
machinery, household departments &C.,
there was great variety.
Rcevcs's celehratedBand Vas the deci-
dcd attraction Of the Fair. 1t consists
of thirty pieces and discoursed the finest
music we ever heard. The concert on
Monday night at the theatre was delight
full, and each day and night the band
gave open air concerts that pleased all
who heard them. Columbia spread it.
self in the effort to entertain the vasI
number Of visitors who filled her hotels
and crowded her streets.
Tuesday night an open air concert was
given ut the State House grounds
The "Sca Of Ice was performed ever,

the Hall Of the House Of Representa-
tivcs, where representatives Of the elit,
and beauty Of the State were assem-.
bled. Abbeville had there. gallant son.
and lovely daughters, who were not sur
passed by any of those present.
On Friday night the grandcst torch
light procession we ever saw took place
There were the students, the militar,
companies, the drummers in Mothc,
Hubbard dresses, mounted rcd shirts
and all the bands in the city. An,
there were fire works Of all sorts ant
descriptions. The procession marched
from the post office to the State House
grounds, where Governor Thompson
Senators Butler and Hampton and 9th
or distinguished gentlemen addressed tn,
crowd, which was simply wild with en-
thuSiasm.
iAfter the parade came the ball give,

Successful Drainage,

NtN tIh 4iiltH.l
The Concord School OF Philosophy has
rcappoartd this year, but in an extremely
mild form. IL has assumed the character
Of Emerson worship, and nearly all the
former symptoms OF an acute philosophical
nature me wanting. During an entire
week the victims OF the school have dis
cussed Emerson from every possible point
OF view, and have so thoroughly exhausted
the subject that unless they decide TO take
up Mr.. EmCrSon's organs one by one and
discuss bis stomach, lungs, and liver, there
need be little fear Of another outbreak OF
FmCrsonian character next year. The Con-
cord School OF Philosophy may not be to.
tally eXtirpated for several years to come,
but Il Is safe 10 say that 1t will never az in
appear in epidemic form.
Two years ago, when the experiment OF
draining Concord was begun, there were
few even among the advocates OF the
measure who ventured 10 hope that IN the
course OF two successive summers philoso-
ply would virtually disappear from Con.
cord. The effect OF the new drainage sys-
tom was, however, Immediately perceived.
The number OF cases OF philosophy which
occurred during the summer following the
completion OF the main drain was one third
less than during the two previous years.
The next summer saw the completion
Of all the smaller drains and a diminutiou
in the number OF philosophy cases that as
tonished the best sanitary experts. This
year the disease still exists, but TO so small
an extent and In such mltigated form that
II no longer causes any dread. During the
last winter not single fresh case OF philoso-
ply was reported 10 The Concord Board Of
Health, and several patients who were SUI.
ferDg from II in its chronic form unmis-
takably improved In health. OF the thirty
two decided eases az philosophy reported
in Concord LAST week, seven were OF the
chronic type, twelve were imported from
ST. Louis, Chicago, and other unhealthy
western towns. and the remaining thirteen
were not thought to be dangerous.
This Is q grand triumph for sanitary
science. The Concord School of Philosophy
had become st one time dangerous centre
Of infection, and in hundreds OF instances
philosophy was carried from Concord IN
books or articles OF clothing TO remote
places, where its sudden appearance
created genuine panic. All danger from
this source has now ceased. II is true that
philosophy does exist in Concord, aud
may lie contracted by visitors TO
The town who expose themselves reck-
lessly, but the disease has lost its yigor, and
In most cases readily yields TO treatment.
II would be interesting to know whether the
town authorities in their successful efforts
10 extirpate philosophy made use OF disin-
fectanis or depended wholly upon drain
age. DR.. Koch Is said 20 maintain that car
bolic acid is certain, II properly applied, TO
Kill the germs OF philosophy OF the Concord
type, and IL could be wished that the Con-
cord authorities had practically tested the
truth OF this assertion.

TRIED ON THE TRAIN.
One OF the Most Remarkable Cases on Re-
eor6-Fipeds,.0 for Carrying a Sllng-Shst.


eorc-Fined go for Carrying Slung-shst.
pittsburgh Dispstch.l
One OF the most novel trials on record
took place on passenger train OF the Mem
phiS and Little Rock railroad between
Lonoke and Little Rock. Judge L. T..
Vaughan, Of the Circuit Court, was on the
train. After IL left Lonoke county man
psmed q. b. Farmer, OF that county. was
arrested by a deputy sheriff. The charge
against the prisoner was for carry
ing q slung-shot. The law in Ar
kansas against carrying deadly weapons
is rigidly enforced. When the prs-
oner learned that Judge Vaughan was
on the train he went 10 him and begged
for an immediate trial. He said that his
wife was sick. and he did not want 10 be
taken away from her. The learned Judge
is character in his way, aud said that he
would try him at once. He declared the
court open for business, and called Farmer
to the witness-box-tha Is, TO q seat in the
car--and asked him whether he desired to
plead guilty or rot. The passengers coll
lected around this novel court and
watched the proceedings from various
perehes on scat-ralls and from the aisle.
Farmer replied: "Your Honor, desire
to plead guilty."
"All right" continued the Judge; "the
prisoner pleads guilty. assess bis fine az
$40. Mr.. Sheriff, take the prisoner"
This ended the brief trial, aud the pri-
soner paid his $40 TO the sheriff. At the
next station he got OF the tram TO make
h,s way home rs quickly as possible TO his
sick wife. This Is the only case Of justice
on the wing Of which there Is any record.

pears to be coming in the direction OF the

that it can be seen only by means OF tele-

the wanderer may yet come within sight OF
tie unaided eye. The nearest very bright
object apparently is Antares, the cuTiously
scintillating star now to be seen low down

barely conspicuous above the house-tops,
and so the stars OF the constellation Lupus
