a Queer Indication OF Prosperity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--United States
Consul Frisbie, at Lyons, France, writes
that the consumption of champagne is re-
garded as an indication Of the business
prosperity of the country importing it; and,
as the sales for the United States show an
increase of 1884, 924 over those of 1884. the
deduction is drawn that business is IN a
fiourishing condition in America On the
contrary, European nations have curtailed
their orders, showing according to the
champagne barometer that mercantile
dealings are dull; and the Consul attests to
the truthfulness of the latter fact.

E. j. l.. LYTroN, who died in New
York recently, was thrown from a
horse in India couple of years ago,
and after the accident persistently as
serted that his heart had been shifted
from the left to the right side by the
shock. The autopsy which was made
proved that such was the case. The
heart was, however, in a healthy con-
dition. and, as near as could be ascer-
tanned, his death was caused by ex-
haustion from pulmonary hemorrhage.

An Iron-Ore Famine Threatened-Larse
Sales.

CLEVELAND, ", Dec 12.-Inits annual
summary of the iror-ore industry of the
country, the Iron Trade Rerieto says that
more Lake Superior ore was sold the last
year than ever before in the history of that
industry, the sales aggregating 2,93S, 4S6
tons. There remained at the close of navi-
cation on dock at Lake Erie ports 1,O45, $40
tons, of which all but 10000 tons were
sold. In consequence of this exceedingly
small surplus, and the increased demand
for ore especially for Bessemer steel m1k-
ing, an iron-ole famine is threatened.

4 Youthful Hero.

1t is reported that 2 tragedy occurred re-
Gently in the dense forest that skirts the
little village of Nashville, Wood County.
George Andrews, lad about fifteen years
old, was hunting DEER and by the aid of his
hound struck trail and soon came upon
the deer Andrews fired twice and badly
wounded the buck which dashed off, pur-
sued by the dog. The boy followed, and
after about two hours tramping discov-
cred two Indians dressing the deer, having
previously killed Andrews hound The
boy, nothing daunted, ordered them to de-
sist, and claimed the deer as his own, tell
ing them be had killed it. One of the In
dams drew a knife and started for young
Andrews, threatening to kill him; but the
boy did not scare, and quick as fash he
fred, shooting the Indian through the
heart. As he fell the other Indian jumped
for his gun. Young Andrews was too
quick for him, to, and shot him through
the head, killing him instantly. The boy
at once went to the settlement and report
ed what had taken place. His story was
generally discredited, but party was
made up and found the bodies. No arrest
had been made, and doubtless would not
be, as the grit and pluck of young Andrews
excited much admiration.

Ola Hichory Jackson,s Vnse,


All visitors to the Exposition should call
at the Department of South Carolina and
look at this interesting relic of the old hero
of New Orleans.
In 1916 the ladies of South Carolina pre-
sented to General Jackson a magnificent
vase of silver weighing 600 ounces, and in.
scribed appropriately, in acknowledgment
of the obligations of the sex to the hero who
had saved their sisters of New Orleans from
the grasp of Packenham's soldery, who had
been inspired by his promises of booty aud
beauty to stimulate them to the capture Of
the place.
When Jackson made his will he be-
queathed this vase to his executor, Andrew
j. D0nnelson, to be bestowed on him who
should distinguish himself by the greatest
bravery in the next foreign war.
MIR. Donnelson concluded that the bravest
man would be found in the Palmetto regi-
ment, band Of men universally awarded
the palm Of herosm in the Mexican war,
and he sent the jackson vase to Governor
Aston Of South Carolina, to be awarded to
the bravest man of that regiment.
The Governor, unable to distinguish
among this Spartan band, presented and
conveyed it to William B. Stanley, Presi.
dent of the Palmetto Association, and his
successors in office.
Captain Stanley took it to the Exposi.
tion, to the meeting Of the Mexican Vet
Grams, and left 1t with the South Carolina
Department, TO be gazed on and admired
by all who reverence heroic patriotism.
The Captain, a noble, erect and soldierly
old man uncle of our Stanley OF Green
villel, with Jake Martin and four others of
the Palmetto Regiment were present at the
meeting of the Mexican Veterans, and ex-
cited almost as much interest as the vase
OF which he was the bearer. Long may he
live to enjoy the honor, renown and troops
OF friends that surround him wherever he
moves among us. He is now Mayor Of Co.
lumbia, s. c., and looks to be good for
twenty years more, and likely to be tho
survivor OF the Palmcttos of whom fifty

Origin Of a Slang Term.

One who has studied up says that the
word "snidc," which has come into
general use, like many slang words,
means more than the nearest English
word in its meaning. There is the
''snod," from the provincial English,
which means 'sly, cunning" and is
derived from the word ''snood,n used
in fishing tackle and in the way artful
young misses tie up their hair so as to
tie the young mans heart within.
The word "schnide," from Pennsylya-
MIA Dutch. means the cut rs applied 70
a tailor, who is called schneider"
and probably cuts the cloth too short.
''Sniden Is now applied TO almost ey-
erything manufactured which is under
quality. A ''snide' buggy is one
loosely and painted up to
look well, but out Of which the spoke
will hy driving round the turns. A
''snide" piano Is one which has a well.
vanished case and brass fxings. but
with n harp like that in Tara's halls,
and which will soon be mute.-Tr0J
