malelic influence of the Kenaimas, each
larger Indian village keeps its peaiman

was that in which he placed himself in
the hands Of peaiman who undertook
to cure him of headache, and who, to
judge from the authors description,
had in him the making Of an admira-

TRUST HER NOT; SHE'S FOOLING THEE"
When the train left the Thellamere
station on its way to Irkford, our picnic
party was scattered about in different
parts of it, for the platform was crowd

find seats where they could Never
theless IL was not from pure accident
that Philip and Angela found them
selves alone in iirst-class compartment.
An extra carriage had to be put on
for the accommodation Of the too nu-
merous excursionists, and while the
Others had all been running about, and
squeezing themselves into already over
flowing carriages, Philip, turning to
Angela, said:
'Suppose you take my arm; there is
such crush. And if we wait quietly
we shall have n much better chance
than by rushing about as they are do

"Oh, anything not to be crushed by

sweetly, and she had accepted his prof

He could think of nothing more de-
lightful than to find himself left alone
with Angela, with no definite prospect
Of being separated. But that was a
chimerical idea not likely to be realized.
and accordingly it was only the next
best contingency which arrived; they
went in the same train with the rest OF
the party. but alone.

She descended the stairs and went
into the sitting-room, still kept In sort
of semi-twilight by the green blinds,
and there she found Angela on the sofa,
with Philip Massey on chair beside
her. Some low-spoken words had been
exchanged just before she entered, and
she felt her face flush.
"Good morning." said Philip, rising,

said Philip, who looked imperturbably
happy and satisfied, and who smiled
whenever he addressed Mabelle.
II am going to your house," she per-
sisted, obstinately; "I want to speak to

She moved toward the door, taking
no notice Of Angela's faint expostula-
tion that itwas too hot for such sudden
exertion, and upon her adoption of this
decided line of policy there remained
virtually nothing for the others to do
but to carry it out.
They, too, followed, and in another
moment the scene was changed to
Grace's parlor, with the blinds drawn
up, and the Berghaus contingent just
arrived, together with two friends OF
Hermann's, all talking loudly and volu-
bly,, welcoming each other, and finally
setting forth in body to go and find
,e omnibus which should take them
past the railway station they were GO
ing to.

IN THE WOODS.

They all walked up he street in the
blazing sun. There were the Fairfax
girls, Grace and Philip Massey, Thekla
and Hermann Berghaus. and their
youngest sister Louise, and two monde
script young men, acquaintances Of
Hermann. These formed the party,
and were taking advantage of the fine
day and bank holiday to go over to
Thellamere, country place some fif-
teen miles out of lrkford, and noted re-
sort of picknickers and holiday-makers.
At the top of Lawrence street stood
an omnibus, which would put the party
down close to the station by which they
had to leave town in order to get TO
Thellamere. Thekla Berghaus and
Grace Massey, whose friendship seemed
only TO become more violent as 1t was
tried by time-they had now known
each other for the prolonged period of
three months-lingered a little, and
followed somewhat in the rear of the
Others, who seemed almost TO make
one large group, except that Philip and
Angela were ever somewhat apart from
the others.
"Haye you decided when you can
come to us, Thekla?" asked her friend.

cheek was somewhat paler and thinner

She spoke resentfully.
"Well. at least he is making an effort

Thekla.

For about two months previous to the Goth OF
May he was engaged as teacher Of the band, and
that is the only relation he sustained to it. His
engagement being ended with the celebration,
he left Charlotte on the 22nd to fill an engage
ment as teacher of the Abbeville band, in this
State. Charlotte has many fine things of which
to boast--its Mecklenburg Declaration not
among the least-but it cannot with impunity
appropriate Yorkville's favorite cornetist. His
victory in the solo contest is small matter as
compared with the fact that he was employed
to instruct and brace up the Charlotte band for
the occasion of the Goth of May celebration,
even though the Charlotte press may not be dis
posed to yield the fact.
Mr.. Herndon has the congratulations Of his
friends on his success, which is greater than
would appear at the mere announcement that
only "Schloss, ofWilmington Herndon, of Char
lotte," played Our young Yorkville musician
thoughtlessly played solo on Monday night
before the contest, which was heard by several
musicians, and his performance caused at least
fiveto conclude that it would be useless for them
to attempt to compete with him.

YORKYILLE MUSICIAN.

The cornet solo contest was participated in by
Schloss, of Wilmington, Herndon of Charlotte.
Herndon won the victory and was awarded the
$50 cash prize. Herndon, who won the solo
prize yesterday, is a member of the McSmith
band, and the boys feel proud of his victory.
He is a splendid cornetist, and carrying the
weight of but few years upon his shoulders,
there is yet fine future before him. The Judges
declared him a second Levy.
The childlike simplicity by which the truth is
attempted to be concealed in the first sentence
above quoted from the Charlotte Observer OF
Thursday, and the entire misstatenlent of fact in
the third sentence, as to the gentleman's conec-
ton with the McSmith Band, render the Obser-
GERS intended compliment decidedly ridiculous
to those acquainted with the facts. "Schloss, of
Wilmington, Herndon, Of Charlotte" An in
genious expression, truly! How unfortunate
that the Obse, ver could not designate those ar
lists at least by the initials Of their naes so that
the public could know which one of the Schloss
family came up from Wilmington, and which
of the Charlotte Herndons it was who entered
the musical contest The facts, as we under
stand them, are that Mr.. S. Schloss. Of Whining
ton, and Mr.. Robert J. Herndon, native and
citizen Of Yorkville South Carolina were the con-
testants Mr.. Herndon is not citizen of Char
lotte, and never claimed to be. Nor is he, or
was he ever member Of the McSmith Band.

POLITICS IN THE STATE.

The Democratic County Convention for
Fairfield county will meet at Winnsboro
June 81.
- Fred Nix, Jr., Of Barnwell county, has
issued a proclamation to the faithful, urging
them to get ready for the next election.
The Edgefeld Democratic clubs are
practically unanimous against proposed
change from primary elections to the con-
vention plan.
The Barnwell People thinks that the race
for Congressman from that district will lie
betw cen Mr.. Tillman, of Edgefeld, and Col.
George w. Croft, of Aiken.
AT the recent reorganization of the Bel
doc Democratic Club in Barnwell county, it
was determined that all colored men of good
report would be received as members of the
Club, and that an affiliated club would not
be organized and attached as heretofore.
There is queer question in Barnwell
where some voters want to participate in
the Democratic primary elections, binding
themselves to support the State and county
tickets, but remaining free to vote for what
Federal officers they choose. The Execu-
tive Committee will decide the question.
The Spartanburg Herald says: ''Spar-
tanburg county has adopted the primary
election system. This has its advantages
and its evils. Probably its greatest evil is
that the electors are called upon to vote for
men concerning whom most Of them have
no positive knowledge"
The Democratic County Convention of
Chesterfield met last Monday in the tempo
rary courthouse, sixty seven delegates being
present. The convention plan was adopted
ed for the nomination of county officers.
They also adopted a resolution favoring the
nomination of State officers by the Demo-
cratic Convention in June, and deplore the
defeat of the Morrison tariff bill.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democratic State Convention of
Nebraska declared in favor OF Illden and
for Hendricks, and elected delegatesat large
who ore all Tilden men. All of the district
delegates are Tilden and Hendricks men
without any second choice.
The Democratic State Convention Of
New Hampshire met in Concord on the 2lst.
The unanimous sentiment of the Conven-
tion was in favor of Tilden and Hendricks
for President and Vice-President, though
no instructions were given the delegates.
-Tilden and the old ticket received tre-
meudous boom at the meeting OF the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee of Ohio, IN
Columbus, last week. It is claimed that the
Standard Oil Company have changed their
dictum from "Payne for President' to
"Tilden and REFORM" and sanguine com,
mitteeman of the First district thinks that
Tilden and Hendricks can carry Ohio by
$4,000.
The State Prohibition Convention of
Tennessee met in Nashville on Friday. 1t
was the largest ever held in the State. Over
four hundred delegates were present. 1t
was decided not to nominate ticket but to
support only candidates that would submit
the prohibition amendment to the people.
At the mass meeting on Friday night 81 ,20O
was raised to push the work.
Mr.. Chairman Barnum, who stands near
to Mr.. Tilden, thinks Flower, of New York,
is the man. He says that Flower would
carry New York by $1,000 majority, and ne
can carry New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut
and probably Ohio, besides the Pacific States
and the solid South. "F'lower," said he us
a man in the full vigor oflife and manhood,
a man of ability and ample fortune. He
would make James K. Polk kind OF
President. He is honest and competent"
- Tammany Hall, New York, was crowd
ed last Friday night on the occasion OF
mass meeting of the New York Democrats,
which was denominated "the first gun for
the Presidential canvass" The enthusiasm
was great, Mr.. Tilden's name evoklng loud,
long continued cheers WheneverltW men
toned. Congressman Dorshelmer presided.
Speaking of the conspiracy of 1876 Congress-
man Blackburn said he had used all the
powers he was capable of in preventing it,
and he was loudly applauded on saying it.
He denounced the fraud in earnest terms,
and referred to the Republican party as one
"drunk with spoils and demented and in
sane with power" Congressman Hurd also
spoke. The meeting was enthusiastic upon
general principles but was particularly de-
monstrative at the mention of the old tick
ct, Tilden and Hendricks. A long letter OF
regret was read from Speaker Carlisle, the
KEYNOTE of which was statement that the
necessity for the reduction of tariff taxation
and consequent decrease of the cost of pro-
duction was never more urgent than at the
present day.
