Under the caption Of Horrible, if
True" in your last issue, you indulge
in some very considerable indignation
at the manner of the removal of the
bodies Of Owens and Fallon from their
resting place on Mr.. Pechette's land.
The main facts are about as you stated
them, and we would let the disgrace
full affair rest without further comment,
were it not for the fact that in the
article alluded to, blame would seem to
attach to Mr.. Pechette, who is in nc
way responsible for tic ghoulish trans
action. Nh. Pechette simply desired
Mr.. Toombs, as the responsible party
to have the bodies removed. de
did not get a permit for their removal
as you infer. Who it was that remove
the bodies We DO not know, nor do w
care to inquire. 1t was some bralnles
brute, evidently. VULCAN.

Fifty Years of Welded Life.

A correspondent furnishes the
Telegraph and Messenger a brief
synopsis of Bishop Pierce's re-
marks on the occasion of his gold
en- wedding last Monday. The
speech was eloquent review of the
Bishops labors for the past fifty
years, and a triumphant vindica-
ton of his choice in the compan-
ion Of his life. He had been sent
to Savannah a young man, and re-
quired, on account of some difficult
ty between some members of the
church, to keep bachelors hall in
the parsonage, rather than board
with either of the contending fac
tions. He tried this for one year
and determined to get some one to
keep house for him. He found
his present wife, who was, like
himself, poor in this worlds
goods. For he had determined
never to marry any woman who
had more than he had. He did not
intend to have it thrown in his
teeth in after years by any woman
that she had supported him, or by
her money lifted him up. He
courted her and they married at
the end of the year. He had 81
and she had IS, and with this
they started life in Charleston,
s. c. He had found her good
and safe counsellor and friend in
all the past years. They started
poor, AID held their own wonder
fully. Yet they had never want
ed. They had reared and educat-
ed their children, all of whom
were present. He paid beauti-
full tribute to his children for their
kindness and devotion to their pa
rents, He wound up the whole
by adopting the old custom, and
saluted his bride with a kiss.

Are all the Weeylls Dead?

Meeting DIR. J. E. Godfrey a
few days since, he remarked that
he had some good news for u.s.
On asking what it was he replied;
"Well, the weevils are all dead
I went through a good part of my
corn the other day,and found not a
single one alive. My neighbors
have examined their corn, and
they tell me that it is the same
way with them. You may depend
upon it, the severe freezes killed
them all"
On going home we found that
the same state Of affairs prevailed
in our weevils by the thou
sands, but all dead. We have
heard many old farmers say that
in all truth they chad never seen
the like" of weevils in corn before,
as troubled the crop of 1888. The
corn in nearly every field was full
of them before it was gathered
Had they continued their ravages
much longer, there would have
been nothing left for hogs and
horses. But they are dead and
gone, and we are glad of it

Sleeping Together.

Somebody has said that more
quarrels occur between brothers,
between sisters, between hired
girls, between clerks in stores, be-
tween apprentices in mechanic
shops, between hired men, between
husbands and wives, owing to cleo
trlcal changes which their nervous
systems undergo by lodging to-
gether night after night under the
same bedclothes, than by any 9th
er disturbing cause. There is
nothing that will so derange the
nervous system of a person who is
eIlmlnative in nervous force than
to lie all night in bed with anoth-
er person who is absorbent in
nervous force. The absorber will
go to sleep and rest all night;
while the eliminator will be tumb-
ling and tossing, restless and ner-
vvous, and wake up in the morning
f,retful, peevish, fau1t-fnding, and
discouraged. No two persons, no
matter who they are, should ha-
bitually sleep together. One will
thrive and the other will lose.

The democratic Nationa. Con
vention...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-St
Louis, Chicago, Louisville and
Cincinnati, are the cities whose
candidacy for the honor of enter
tanning the next Democratic Con
vention is the most prominent
Indiana Democrats talk something
of Indianapolis, arguing that to
hold the convention there will
tend to secure Democratic ascen-
dency in that State. New York
men talk of Saratoga. They talk
of the political effect that will en-
sue in New York State. But the
Western men hold that it will be
too inconvenient for Western dele
gates to come all the way to Sara
toga. Louisville seems to be do
ing the most work just now. A
Kentucky member of the House
told me to-day that the city of
Louisville had raised a very large
sum of money to secure the con-
yentlon. The opponents of ex-
Senator Mcdonald and the oppo-
nents of tariff reform in the party
are, however, against Louisville
The former says that Louisville is
too near Indiana, and that the Nc
Donald clans of that State would
overrun the city and get up a hur-
rah for their chieftain, thus Sc
curing an unfair advantage. The
opponents of free trade say that
Louisville is the hotbed of that
idea, and it will not do to go there
with a convention. Chicago is
strong and has many adherents.-
So also has Cincinnati, but the
candidates nominated there the
last time were defeated. st. Louis
seems to be the strongest. The
Missouri members say that al
though she has not made much of
a, demonstration, yet she wants the
convention, and wants it bad. At
the proper time she will come out
strong, they say. They put for
ward, too, the statement that Til
den and Hendricks, who were
nominated there, were elected
The chances seem to favor st.
Louis.

POlitcneSS.

One day in suddenly turning the
corner OF a street a young lady
ran with great force against a rag
ged little boy aand almost knocked
him down. Stopping as soon as
she could, the lady turned and
very kindly said to the boy: 81
beg your pardon, my little fellow,
l am sorry | ran against you"
The poor boy was astonished.-
He looked up at her for a moment
with surprise, and then, taking off
about three-quarters of a cap he
bowed very low and said, while q
smile spread itself all over his
face:
you can have my pardon and
welcome miss; and the next time
you may run agin me and knock
me clean down, an L won't say a
word"
After the lady had passed on he
turned to his companion and said:

ding and it kind a took me Of my

From the Constitution:-The
rebellion in China, which was
suppressed by Chinese Gordon in
1861, was more dangerous and
extensive outbreak than the one
now terrorizing Egypt. lnChina,
as in Egypt, the trouble had a
false prophet at it's head, and the
rebellion obtained such Roadway
that the imperial government
struggled fifty years to pat it
down, but without success. Cor
don whipped the rebels and re-
stored peace in less than a year.
He was offered a magnificent
palace and a fortune Of 100000,
but he declined all pecuniary re-
ward. He returned to England
where he endeavored to avoid the
notoriety thrust upon him. From
all of which it would appear that
Gordon is either a hero or G
crank.

More Work and Less Snobbery
Needed.

We like the yankee idea best;
that every man and woman ought
to work, and that all kinds of COM
mon labor is honorable. What
disgrace should there be in cook
ing, sewing, running a shop, keep
ing stall in the market house,
driving hack, currying horses,
or even black boots? Why should
society outlaw those honest people
who work enough to have clean
dress on Sunday, and to owe no
man anything but love. If there
were more labor and less snob-
berry, we would have better fences,
nicer yards, more productive gar
dens, fatter hogs, and better chill
dren. The whole South needs
overhauling. The fence rows
need cleaning out, the gullies need
filling, the houses need painting,
the churches and parsonage need
repairing, and numerous debts
need liquidating; and nothing but
hard work will do these things.
There should be a stampede from
the parlors into the kitchens,
workshops and fields.
