 !" Now, please listen to me. This mau Barker is attempting to deceive you understand that he is trying to get di- vorce from his wife"
 "l have no wife, you villa;n !" thun- dered.
 " Haven't you? Well, we'll see"
 Then he stepped 10 the door and said Mrs. Barker, please step this way"
 A tall, dark haired woman entered:
 " You shall not evade me" she said, approaching me. "You have mistre ated me but will follow you to the end of the earth. Oh, remember our marriage vow" :" don't know you !" exclaimed.
 She attempted to ,brow her arms around me. showed her back, and, looking toward the door, saw that Mrs. Annie Green with her hands over her face. was standing in the hall.

Well, this interesting obelisk is suffer- ing from atmospheric influences. The same climatic in fluences that have caused the descendant of the sturdy Hollanders to dwindle down to the proportions of a Fifth avenue dude, are at work on this monument. It is beginning to crumble. The geese show signs of losing their feath. CTS, and the owls look sick. There is
 moreover, Assure in the granite near the lower end of the obelisk, which, like civil service reform, is liable to spread, and then down it will come, like crash on Wall street. Already those who 20 to look at it and smile over the imbecility of the ancient Egyptians, stand of at a safe distance. It IS proposed now to give it coat of some chemical mixture tha. will neutrallze the effects of the local atmos- pherlc influences. The rain and the frost are what play the mischief with 1t. It should be taken indoors in winter, but is size prevents that being done. If it was not so large and heavy, it would have been stolen long ago out of the park. You needn't smile at the idea of the obe. fisk being stolen. That's the way we came by it in the first place, as the khe- dive had really no right to dispose of it.

Putting a Stop to MiscegenatiOn.

CHARLESTON, Sept. ia full
account is published of the recent
doings Of bands Of white reg1lla-
tors IN Fairfield, county, showing
that their motive is a determine
ton to abolish miscegenation.
Last July the regulators, COM
posed of the best young men OF the
county, visited farm near Ridge
wav, where lived white family
named Boyle. One Of the daught-
ers was living openly with q negro.
Two others kept a disreptuable
house for negroes. The regulators
whipped Boyle, his wife and two
daughters, and warned them to
leave the county in July. Boyle
begged to be allowed to harvest his
crop, and on account Of his poverty
he was given leave to do 50, but in
the meantime the original order be-
inc disobeyed, the regulators gave
the family another whipping.
Next the regulators visited par
ties between Ridgeway and Winns-
boro, and whipped them badly.
LLOYD Davis, who has q negro mis-
tress, was next visited. He got
away. His household furniture
was badly broken up, and his
colored family warned to quit.
Tom Davis, the richest merchant in
Ridgeway, reported worth $4,000,
was given ten days notice to quit,
because he had q negro mistress
He left his business il the hands d
his clerks and put out for Missis-
sippi. Ross Williams, living on
the other side of Ridgeway with q
negress, was visited and showed
fight, but was severely whipped, as
was his mistress, and ordered tc
leave. About ten families, al
mixed, have felt the power Of the
regulators 50 far,
TIE excuse the regulators give il
that the grand jury does not TAX
cognizance of those living in opel
adultery, because it is so hard t
prove the existence of such fact
The people could not be reached
by law, and so it was determines
to reach them outside OF the law.
The chief offenders, whethe
warned or not, are dissolving thei
establishments and leaving, ant
fear of exposure and punishment
prevails.
The regulators disguise them
selves while visiting BY GOVERNS
their faces with cloths. No weap
ons but hickory switches have bee
used.
If such band of regulator
were to pass through our town an
parish there would be weeping an
wailing without number. Miscegee
nation is carried on in our midst j
the most shameful and braze
manner, and nothing short OF
band Of regulators can put an en-
to it.

Powerful Medicine.
Arkansaw Traveller.

AS d physician, the colored gentle
man has not taken high rank.
Doctors who graduate with honors
refuse to consult with him. They
question his skill and spurn his
roots and herbs. Sometimes,
though, the effect of his medicines
must be acknowledged. Several
days ago, an old negro whose son
had been taken violently i'll, sent
for DR.. Simeon, q man whose COM
plexion is q perfect harvest of mid
night, but who believes that there
is in the woods a remedy for every
disease. How is he, doctor q

General Dispatches From the Cap

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 22-Ths In,
teTDa Revenue Bureau is preparing a
schedule of taxes to be assessed against the
great western Manhattan and other distillers
Of Peoria on account of the excess of spirits
over gauge measure found in recent ship
merts made by them to Philadelphis, New
York and Baltimore. Assessments win be
forwarded to the collector at Peoria for col
lection. Taxes undoubtedly will be paid
according to the understanding they had
when spirits which had been seized
for examination were released. 1t
is stated, however that payments
will be made under protest aud that distil-
lers will take legal steps to recover the
money. Their claim for remittance of the
tax will, it is said, be based on the ground
that the spirits in dispute were gsugsd twice
BY the gauaipg rod in the only manner rec
cgnized by law and duly certified by the
proper officers OF the government and that
the action OF the commissioner in causing
a subsequent examination BY cup was IN
uthOrized By Law and not binding on distil-
lers
