This Administration is travelling
in the footsteps of it's predecessor,
and q little more so. For years the
country has had it dinned in its ears
that the naval establishment was q
sink of extravaganza, and yet Secre-
tary Whitney's estimates call for
$35, 100000, double the sum that
Secretary Chandler had. This is
grotesque, TO say the least.

Attacked by Ants.

DAYTON, OHIO, July 2S.-Mr. Islah
Buncrat, farmer living near Chambers
burg, a small country village few miles
from here, had most wonderful expert
ence to-day, narrowly escaping being
killed BY ants. He was picking black
berries in a wild patch Of underground
in dense wood, when suddenly he dis
turb,d millions upon millions of large,
black ants. They were under a thin
covering of earth which he stepped on,
and almost instantly they crawled up his
pantaloons' legs, and when he tried to
knock them off showed fight. Before he
could get out of the heavy growth of
brush he was covered from head to foot
with the pestiferous ants. They bit him
and crawled into his nose, ears and
mouth. He yelled for help but soon
became blinded with the myriads of ants
on his head and face, and before he
reached the edge of the wood fell help
less to the ground, utterly at the mercy
of the ants, and was only saved evidently
from death by the timely arrival OF his
brother. The insects were the common
blacl; ants, of very large size. Bum
crat was bitten by them all over the body,
and, while very sore, it is thought, pro,
viding the bites are not poisonous, will
recover. The case is without prece.
dent in this section of the country, and,
it is believed, had not aid arrived when
it did, the ants would have not only
killed but eaten their victim.

Feet to be Proud OF.

Miss Fannie Mill, of Sandusky, Ohio,
is a young woman who has a positive
genious for feet, and possesses the high
honor of wearing the largest shoe in the
country, her number being twenty mines.
Her shoes bave always been made to
order, and until recently in her own State,
but now that Miss Fannie is old enough
to &c, into society her father has had q
handsome pair Of kid tops manufactured
in this city, and the shoemaker who con-
structed them has them on exhibition in
his show window on John street, where
they attract great attention and elicit
many expressions of admiration. lie
material of which the shoes are made
would have been sufficient to manufac-
ture eight pair of ordinary ladies' shoes.
The soIes are cork, and the shoes or but
ton tops. The length from stem to stern
is 10 inches and the breadth of beam is
~ inches. The "waist" of the shoes ID
ISL inches, the instep measurement 193
inches, and the ball 10 inches. The top
of the shoe, which comes up to the calf
of the leg, measures 204 inches in cir
cumference. The heels are So inches
wide and a. inches long. Four chamois
skins were used to line the shoes, and
they cost Mr.. Mills S45, besides the
freight charges to Sandusky. Mr. Mills
is a welI.to.do farmer, and Miss Fannie
is pretty blonde, weighing 160 pounds,
and of ordinary height.-New York

Terrible Accident on the Air Line.

GREENv1LLE, August 5.-A terrible
smash.up of the south bound train No:
so on the Air Line Railroad occurred
three miles north of Wexford shortly
before 8 o'clock this morning. The train
was considerably behind time and was
running, it is said, at q speed of about
forty miles an hour. From what | can
gather here the following are the main
particulars: When the train was round
ing a sudden curve at the point named,
known as Meeting House Curve, which
has long been feared by the engineers as
a dangerous curve, the second class
coach, wrenched by passing around it at
so fearful speed, was thrown from the
track, and rearing partly on end fell and
rolled down the steep embankment,
making two complete revolutions before
reaching the level. The ladies' coach
Immediately behind it was also thrown
from the track and turned over on its
side. Two sleepers on the rear of the
train also jumped the track but were not
overturned. Conductor John Ransom,
who was in the second class car at the
time, received spinal injuries from which
lie died at Wexford at o'clock this after
noon. A negro man, name unknown,
received injuries that will probably prove
fatal. Two white men, names unlearned,
were seriously hurt, and eight other
passengers received wounds of more or
less severity, but none of the latter seem
to have been dangerously hurt. MIR.
Charles F. Hoke, the we'll known COM
mercial traveller, was in the 6rst'class
coach at the time of the smashup, and
received severe and painful bruises about
the head and hips. Mrs. Wilcox, of
Greenville, received painful bruises on
the head, and Mr.. White Smith, of Spar.
lanburg, is reported to have been simi:
larly wounded. The accident is described
as most fearful and heartrending one,
and the escape of the passengers from
immediate and awful death was indeed
miraculous. Great heroism is credited
to Miss Mamie Law, of Spartanburg, and
Mr.. Lee, one of the passengers, who
had wonderful presence of mind in the
great excitement following the fearful
catastrophe, and we're of great service to
the wounded and terror stricken passen-
gers. 1t is impossible 10 obtain here the
full list of the wounded or the detailed
particulars. The accident caused the
stoppage of all trains on the road to-day
until this afternoon, when track around
the wreck was completed, and travel is
now unobstructed.

Tic Wine Of the Peach.

The finest wine made now is made of
the Juice of the peach. You grind or
mash the peaches and press them, as you
would do apples in making cider. You
then strain it and add two pounds of
sugar to every gallon of juice: Cork
tight, and put in o syphon, air.tight,
with one end resting in bucket of water,
so that the gases may pass off without
admitting any air into the barrel. This
must remain undisturbed until fermenta-
tion ceases. 1t must then be drawn off
and bottled, or put into clean barrel.
I have drunk wine made from grapes
and apples, but have never met with
anything to equal the wine of the peach.
Peaches and all other fruits may be
grown without seed or stones by simply
inverting the scion. The best way to
propagate peaches, apples, or any other
fruits, is to take the water sprouts and
cut a hole into an Irish potato and bury
them about five inches deep, and mulch
them. Peaches dried whole would be
much better than when cut, if grown
without kernels, or stones. Cherries
would be much better for cooking, as at
least one.half the juice is lost in pitting.

income of $250,000 of the trust fund

to 100000 from Grants book, with a
certain Congressional annuity of $1,000.
Her sons are all married and presumably
able to take care of themselves, aud her
only daughter is married and comfortably
provided for. The income will be more
than ample for all possible wants, and
she should not be paraded in the news
