Nc Reflections on Washington.

An ambitious man being elected to a West
ern legislature prepared with great care a
colleagues and please his constituents. He
waited for a fitting occasion, and then rising,
began:
"Mr. Speaker-When I reflect on the char
acter of General Washington and came to
a sudden stop. Beginning again, he sand:
Mr.. Speaker-When l reflect on the char,
acter Of General Washington and again the
failure of his memory brought him to a sudden
halt.
For the third time he attempted to go on,
but got no further than washington"
Il rise to a point of order, Mr.. Speaker ex-
claimed a waggish member. 1T is not in or
der for a member of this house to be making
reflections on the character of General Wash
ington."
This shot brought down the house and the
forgetful member.

Republican Primaries.

The attention of the Republican voters is di-
rected to the fact that the primaries for the Sc
lection Of Delegates to the several forthcoming
conventions IAN except county, will be held this
evening. They should be largely attended.
Considerable interest is being manifested in all
quarters and more than the usual amount of
wire pulling is going on among the friends of
candidates. The greatest interest seems to be
taken in the prosecuting attorneyship, for which
Charley Robbins, present deputy, and Ne WI.
Harding are the prominent candidates.

A Crazy Mans Freak.

A man giving the name of John Baker, who
says he is fifty years old, and CANT recently
from Cincinnati, was locked up at the station
house last night, violently insane. He was ap-
pretended by some big Four section
men, who saw him jump three
times from the Prospect street bridge
into Pleasant run, probably with suicidal intent.
He is n German, speaking no English. He told
one of the reporters last night that he owed q
forty nine- hundred dollar board bin, and if this
is true it is enough to drive him crazy.

Can a Drpnkard be Forgiven !
"a Nice Point of thurch Law Raised
.fI c.a in Georgia.

CAMILLA, GA, May 29.-The Beth
any Baptist Church is in danger of
getting into trouble. Very recently
the church has excluded two CT its
members upon the charge of drunk
enness. One of these members after
being accused appeared before the
church and made full confession CT
his guilt. He expressed his sorrow
and begged forgiveness at the>hands
of the church. Some mem ers of the
church took the position that under
the law as set forth IN the fifth chap
ter of First Corinthians, the church
had no discretion only in deciding
when member was drunkard, and
that when he was drunkard the
church was bound by the law to Put
away from among y urselVes that
wicked person" The penitent mem
ber having several times before been
charged with the same ctfanse and
reing thought to be -drunkard, was
upon motion excluded from the church.
Since that action another nember has
been drunk, and came before the
church in conference and acknowl-
edged his sin and begged forgiveness.
When the motion was made to for
give him speeches were made by two
of the members against the motion to
forgive, they contending that the pre-.
cedent previously set as we'll as the
law Of Christ forbade such action.
When the vote was put six voted to
forgive and two against it. The de.
corum of the church requires a unan
imous vote when fellowship is in
volved, and the two members voting
in the negative refused to yield and
a motion to defer the matter prevail
ed. There is some anxiety to know
how the case will terminate. The
discussion Of the status Of drinking
in the church bsa supplanted politics,
and men who never Were seen with
in church doors are qnite as argu-
mentative as if they had been dea
cons all their lives.

Ont Of His Misery.
The Third Victim of the cheraw
Tragedy.
Specia, to; the Reqister.


CnERAw,,S. c., June 3.-Mr. Jas.
Coward, who wasshot by the late W..
Boggan Cash, died to day at his moth
er's residence in Marlboro County.
The deceased had been removed from
his brothers house in this town few
weeks after the fatal shooting, and
after lingering three months. passed
quietly away. The Coroner Of Mari RI
boro was noti6ed, Of the fact to day,
and doubtless the necessary prelimi-
naries were transacted.
Your readers will remember that
the pistol ball wound from which
poor Coward died, was received on
the evening Of the 23rd Of February
last. The ball entered just below
the collar bone of the left side, and
was extracted, in contact on the right
ofthe Yertebral column, about the
second or third dorsal vertebra.
There was no evidence Of bemorrhsSe
and be. did not suffer from a cough
The orifce Of entrance and exit heal
ed perfectly in a few weeks. He
had from the moment he received
the wound complete paralysis OF the
lower extre mites, involving the blad'
de. and bowels. He neither had de
sire or control over these outlets.
His bed sores were unusually large
and we're mot always the result OF
pressure. The left nip joint was
..iisarticulated bya bed sore in that
locality. His digestion was good up
to q week or two ago. Early in his
cases he had high sfeyers, but. they
eubsided very much. His pulse vari-
ed from 100 to 100 most Of the time.
The loss of desire and control over
the excretions was regarded by bus
physicians as evidence of cerebral
: severance. He must have died from
pyenic fever, occasioned by absorp'
ton of pus from bed sores. His re-
mains will be inferred in the family
burying ground at New Hope Church
in Marlboro, TO morrow at II o'clock
and many citizens and friends from
Cheraw will attend. LEO.

As the work Of cutting the Pana.

Of the enterprise becomes more ap-
parent. For seven miles at the Pan
ANA end, and for three miles at the
Colon end, the width of the canal is
GIG fe. t, while for the middle seven
teen miles it is 3S6 feet wide, the
whole having a uniform depth of thir.
ty feet. The physical features OF
the country entail tremendously ex'
penaive excavations. The, Chagres
River bed is crossed several times,
and provision must be made to con.
trcl the waters Of that river. The
line Of the canal crosses a hill $50
feet high, rendering necessary a cut
ting Of that depth for over three
miles. There are 20,0c0 men engag
ed on the canal, most Of them ia
maica negroes. or the $l44. 100000
originally subscribed. two thirds have
already been spent, and it is ev..
dent that large additional sum will
have to be raised to complete the eX'
