Some Curious and Interesting Facts
and Figures.

A DEMOCRAT reporter called at the en-
ployes' entrance TO the postoffice this
morning, gave three mystic taps, whis-
pered the password through the keyhole,
and was admitted to that wonderful
wilderness of pigeon holes, mail bags,
ETC., that is peered at so curiously through
the general delivery windows. After
wandering helplessly around for several
minutes, the reporter succeeded in arous-
ing the attention and sympathy of Mr..
Ed. White, the busting attache who
distributes the incoming mail and makes
up the free delivery reports.
One of the first things Mr.. White
did to satisfy the appetite of the news
gatherer was to hand him the following
order just issued by Postmaster General

American Paieontology.

1t is one of the peculiar advantages
Of the North American Continent to
the scientist that the geological strpc-
ture of its great interior is compare
lively simple, SO that its history can be
easily read. 1t follows that the history
of the suggestion of life is recorded
with the same regularity, and may be
read by those who will bestoY the neg
essary labor upon it, Those who have.
during the last ten years, devoted
themselves to this study have been re-
warded by the discovery of the course
of Development of many lines of ami
mails, so that it is now possible to show
the kind of changes in structure which
have resulted in the species of animals
with which we are familiar as Lying on
the surface of the earth at the present
time. Not that this continent has Civ
en- us the parentage of all forms of ami
NAL life, or all forms Of animals with
skeletons, or vertebrate, but it has
given us many Of them. To take the
vertebrate, we have obtained the long,
since extinct ancestor of the very low
est ~vertebrates, Then we have discov-
cred the ancestor of the true fishes.
We haYe the ancestor of all the rep
tiles, of the birds, and of the mammals.
If we considered the mammals, or milk
givers. separately, we have traced up q
great many lines to their points of de-
parture from very primitive things,
Thus we have obtained the genealogi-
cal trees OF the deer, the camels, the
musk, the horse, the tapir, and the
rhinoceros, of the cats and dogs, of the
lemurs and monkeys, and have inn
portant evidence as to the origin of
man. We have the primitive mammals
from which all these kinds that I have
mentioned drew their descent, and from
which, no doubt, many other lines were
derived which we have not yet discov-
cred in North America. Such are the
lines of the elephants, the hyenas, the
bears, the hogs, and the oxen. The
ancestors of the strange, pouch-boar-
ing marsupialia, have been found in

REJOICING AND WEEPING.

Phases of Actual Life at Beaufort
BEAUFORT, July 2O.-Withln the past
week Beaufort has literally been called
upon to ''rejoice with those that rejoice
and to weep with those that Weep" On
Tuesday morning at 7:30 O'Clock quite
number of persons assembled at the
Episcopal church to witness the marriage
ceremony ofMiss Grace Whitman, daugh-
of MIR. j. Whitman, of this town, to Mr..
William Bristol, also OF Beaufort. The
happy couple Immediately left on the
train to visit friends at the North.
And on Saturday the church was filled
with sympathizlng friends and acquain-
tances, met together to attend the funeral
of Miss Annie Stuart, the lovely and &C
complished daughter of DIR. Ii. NJ. Stuart.
Miss Stuart about a month ago was in
Savannah to attend as bridesmaid on Miss
May Elliott, Of whose wedding an account
was given In the NEWS. She did not seem
well on her return and gradually grew
worse and worse until Friday. when she
passed away. She was lovely in her life
and her death has left a void that cannot
be filled. The sympathies Of the entire
community are with the bereaved parents.
1t is something of a coincidence that ST.
Helena church has in one week lost both
her organists, and filed the place most
acceptably.
The numerous friends here and In other
places of Mr.. Stephen Bull Fowles have
been deeply panied to hear of his death.
which occurred last Tuesday at Flat Rock,
n. c., where he had gone for his health.
Mr.. Fowles was most estimable young
man, liked by all who knew him, and lit
orally without an enemy. He was tai
ented lawyer, and had his life been spared
would have made his mark.
Rev. M. A. wilkins, of the Baptist
church here, has been quite i'll from ty-
phOid fever, contracted while attending
the deathbe of his brother in another
part of the State.
DR.. PriOleau has returned from his trip
to Saratoga, benefited in health by the
change.
Beaufort seems more popular, as a sea
side resort, this summer. than ever be-
fore. judging by the number of excursion
lists that come and 90. The bus is quite
success; has almost paid for itself al
ready. 1t also does duty as street rail-
way out of train hours.
We are to have new enterprise here in
the shape of a foundry, which Capt. Town

the court house.
1t is said that the Pilot Boy ia going to
desert us, ana hencefOrth to ply only be-
tween Charleston and Edisto. We trust
IL is not so, as Beaufort without the
Pilot Boy will not know herself. Excur-
sions in any other boat will have lost all
their charm.
Two or three days ago a cOlored man
named Jacob Pettigrew was drowned

Within 200 or 300yards of the hotel stands
an old Spanish fort, built of stone and
oyster shells. We visited the fort in a
body, taking pains to carry along our
guns, knives, etc, not with the aim to
use them, but as necessary precaution.
We entered the fort by means of a small
hole in the wall, which led to the second
floor. The first thing that drew our at
tention was two old cannons of ancient
design. Further Oh we discovered that
large trees of cedar and myrtle had
sprouted In the ground floor and had torn
up the second floor in making their way
upward. The stone walls are feet thick,
100Xl00 feet long, and about the same in
height. One cannot visit this fort with

when he looks upon such strong masonry
and remembers that 1t was done more
than 300 years ago.

ARRIVED AT.

This and other conversations with Pom
peV induced me to tell him ofsOme conclu-
sions had arrived at on the subject of
future reunion Of soul and body after
death when visiting the famous anatomi-
cal museum of the UffizZi gallery of Flor
encein 1898. These views were published
years since in the Augusta papers on
reading DR.. TRlmage's sermon about the
reconstruction of the body at the resur-
rection, and lately, L think, In the MORN
ING NEWS, and have been recalled to my
mind by seeing in a recent issue of the
NEWS the same, or similar, views attrib-
uted to d. d. Wheden, LII. D., the same,
presume, so terribly tlayed by Bledsoe
some years ago in the Southern ReUie2C.
Pompey took my explanation 80 the
necessary and unavoidable one, and lived
and died in the belief that this body was
only a temporary dwelling place, in de-
parting from which he would put it of
like suit of clothes before going to bed
TO awake next morning just as he had
been before lying down. At first the idea
was rather vague, but gradually he seized
it in its full significance, and
finally undertook to impress it on
his fellow servants. He was
a constant attendant on my sisters
Bible class at the quarters, and under
standing the full force of the expression,
'as the tree falleth so it lieth, ;" he took
that for his text, and on it with rude elo-
quence tried to show that the character,
tastes and habits we form here determines
our happiness or misery hereafter. Hear
ing, as a great and strange piece of news,
that Pompey would preach one night,
PLAYED EAvEsDRoPPER.
For once l heard a discourse which,
rough and often amusing as it was, could
be initiated in our most eloquent pulpits.
One of his remarks was this: "YOu, Ben;
you set thar, looking so piuz like, wild
your mOuf full o. tobaker, in chuch. You
tief massa oyster when you got fiat load
for we at de landing. You grabble him
letter when you get whole half bushel for
yer 'lowance. You drunk all de rum YOU
can git. You must marry yer wife by
white passOn from de Episcopal book, and
yet you beat her, quarrel wild her, cuss,
swear, and hab three four broad
wife besidel Suppose you dead
and go to hebben? How you git long. you
tink, when deres no oyster nor letter for
you to tief dere? No wife TO beat dere,
no broad wife to run arter, no GUESSING
and swearih' 'mOng de angels. 1 guess
you find yOu's out o. place and dat fodder
place would please you better if it wasn't
for de fire and de birthstone and de debel
and de pitchfoTk dats derew
Now, this, although but a paraphase Of
what he said is really such, and decidedly
only so far fiction as the wording is con-
cerned. The meaning is the same, and
contains as much true doctrine as we find
in many of our churches to-day, and put
in shape better understood by the mass
of our churcb-goers than more polished
and philOsophic preaching. r. w. II.
