THE PRIORITY BILL,

The following is the text of the bill as
finally passed by the General Assembly, to
prescribe the priority of certain statutory
liens:
Belt enacted by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the State of South Car
olna, now met and sitting in General AS
sembly, and by the authority of the same !:
SECTION /. That from and after the pas
sage of this Act the landlord shall have q
lien upon the crops of his tenant for his
rent in preference to all other liens. The
laborers who assist in making any crop
shall have lien thereon to the extent of
the amount due them for such labor next
in priority to the landlord, and as between
such laborers there shall be no preference.
That all other liens for agricultural sup
plies shall be paid next after the satisfac-
tion of the liens of the landlord and labor
do now under existing laws.
SEC 3. That no writing or record shall
be necessary to create the liens of the land
lord, but such lien shall exist from the date
of the contract, whether the same be in
writing or verbal.
SEC 3. That all Acts and parts Of Acts
inconsistent with and supplied by this Act
be, and the same are hereby repealed.
AS will be seen by the wording of the
bill as above passed, the landlord is not
required to record his lien; but an amend
ment to the bill is now pending requiring
him to record his lien the same as the
merchant or other person giving credit to
the tenant.
SENATOR HAMPT0N'S BILL.
Notwithstanding the merriment produced
in the L. S. Senate on the introduction by
Senator Hampton of his bill making it a
misdemeanor for any Senator or Represen-
tative in Congress to recommend any one
for appointment in the Civil service, except
in writing when requested to do so, the
measure receives the endorsement Of many
thoughtful persons. The New York Times
endorses the bill and says:
Mr.. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina,
excited nothing but merriment in the Sen
ate by the introduction of bill making it
a miSdemeanor for any Senator or Repre-
sentative in Congress to recommend any
one for appointment in the civil service,
except in writing, when requested to do SO,
and then only giving information as to char
acter and capacity. Yet the thing thus for
hidden is an undoubted evil and a nui
sance; it is demoralizing to the members of
either house who indulge in it in the case
of Senators it is simply disgraceful, because
corrupting and often corrupt, and Senator
Hampton's bill would be heartily approved
by every intelligent voter in the United
States who is not after an office for himself
or for some one else. The amusement of
the Senators is quite eXplainable, and is, in
deed, natural, for both the conception and
the practice of purity and honesty in deal
ing with office and office seeking are to
them so unusualand incongruous as to seem
grotesque. But their conduct is not anus
ing to decent American citizens, who have
not the slightest sympathy with the rever-
ened seignors' merriment or with the vul
gar and contemplate habit of thought and
action from which it springs.

The Senate has passed the Presidential
succession bill as reported by the committee
of the Senate. Mr.. Dibble, of South Caroli-

viding for the same contingencies by way

President to preside over the Senate in the
absence of the first Vice-President.

Says the Philadelphia Press: Congress-
man Hemphill, of South Carolina, has re-
turned to Washington filled with the con-
vction that if the coinage of Bland dollars
is continued until they drop in purchasing
power to their real value the South will be
the chief sufferer. The South is absorbing
the largest share fthese eighty-cent dollars,
and when the inevitable decline in their
value comes, which must follow their con-
tinued initiation, that section must suffer the
most which has the largest volume of this
cheap currency on hand. If Mr.. Hemphill
can impress his colleagues from the South
with the undeniable truth of this fact the
suspension of the compulsory coinage will
he easily ACCOMPLISHED.

RUSSIA'S SYMPATHY.

So much has been said about
American sympathy with Russia be-
cause Russia was favorable TO the
Union in the late civil war, that
the shallowness of the argument de-
serves to be pointed out. Russia
cared very little what became of
the United States in the late war,
and the attitude of the Cars Gov.
ernment must be attributed to hatred
of Great Britain, and not love for
the United States. England appeared
inclined to take the side of the Con-

At last Terai- -Wallah was driven off, his

his legs. He fled stealthily and with 4

thrust in front Of Terai- Wallah to pre-

The Prince of BulI.Fighters.

Alfonso the king and Gayerre the
tenor have had their reign, and now it is
Mazzentini, the gentle bull-hghter,
who is arousing the enthusiasm of the
Spaniards. He is a young man Of tall
and elegant figure has good education,
and is possessed of dauntless courage
and sang froid. Two weeks ago. at
Malaga, this popular matador had an
almost royal reception. He drove from
the station to the best hotel, the Alameda,
a large crowd following his carriage all
the way; an immense concourse gathered
at the hotel doors to see him alight. The
following day, Sunday, about s, 900 people
went to the bull-ring to witness their
favorite's performance. Mazzentini is
very graceful and courageous, but, what
ever the Spaniards may say, he has neither
the fineness of Lagartijo, nor the unerring
hand of Frascuelo. On the afternoon
referred to he was unfortunate, killing
his bulls in really poor style. Sixteen
thousand reales (e160) was the amount
paid him on this occasion. He has often.
however, received as much as $500 for
an afternoons work in the arena.-Lon-

stir up her bang, brace up for few min

for hours. At a big dinner she will drift

BEYOND THE STREAM.

Beyond the stream there looms hill
Upon the hill there stands pine,
Upon the pine there hangs a cone,
Within the cone there lies a seed,
Within the seed there lies germ;
But sun. nor deew nor warmth, nor chill.
Will ever cause the germ to thrill
Beyond the stream there lies plain,
Upon the plain there rests cot,
Within the cot there stands crib
Beside the crib a mother cries,
Within it still dead child lies;
But mothers tears and prayers are vai:.
To call the child's soul back again.
Alone beneath the night pace;
Outlined upon the setting moon
The gaunt pine sprays its pallid CLEAN;
The cottage sends one golden beam,
A freely spark, twill vanish soon,
AS others live a,.A Leave no trace.
Oh, mystery of life. whate'er
Thou art none kuowoth, nor shall know
Until the tide OF Time shall roll
Between the body and tho soul
Until each soul shall homeward go
To that great Soul of whom we dream,
And life with Life Eternal share,
Beyond the stream, beyond the stream.

Speed of Carrier Pigeons.

''The ordinary speed made by homing
pigeons does not exceed thirtyamlles an
hour" said a well-known PENNSYLVANIA
railroad official. 'Instances are of rec
ord, however, of their doubling and
even tripling that rate of speed. Pig
cons were used as bearers of dispatches
as long ago as the siege of Jerusalem,
and were pressed into the service during
the siege of Paris by the German army.
The art of training them is supposed to
be carried to the greatest perfection in
Turkey. Young birds are taken half
mile away and then set loose. The dis
tance is increased from day to day until
they are able to cover one thousand miles
or return from the most remote parts Of
the kingdom.
''The Belgians take their birds to the
onne, and they make the distance from
those points to Antwerp, Brussels or
Ghent, five hundred miles, in ten hours.
been attained, but cannot give you the
exact time made. We used to send our
birds out on the Pennsylvania railroad
to Pitttburg, and as far west as Colum
bus. They returned, but the results were
not satisfactory. The mountains which
have to be crossed are infested with
hawks, and their tops are sometimes ne
veloped in clouds of mist, which confuse
the birds and send them out of their
way.
''The best results are now being OBJ
tanned by taking the birds South. They
follow the coast right up, with noun
tains ON one hand and the ocean on the
other as guides, and they make very good
time. Flights are often made from Char
lotte, N. c., to New York, distance of
$40 miles, and 1 have heard of several
from points in South Carolina, $50 miles
from New York, the object being to get
them to make one thousand miles. -
