NEW YORK, May IL The Times says:
"Dr. j. Ernest Metre will notgo to Nagasaki,
Japan, as United States consul. His COM
mission was signed, but will be withheld.
This is due to the discovery by the state de-
partment that Metre was recently arrested
for assulting Commodore Truxton in the
Ebbitt house, and that his wife has obtained
divorce from him on the ground of neglect
and brutality"
Secretary Bayard, speaking about DR..
Metre, who was nominated to be United
States consul at Zagasaki, Japan, said:
"Mr Metres commission is not signed and

Waiting at the Depot.

Waiting ut the Depot.
While waiting for the train morning
last week we listened with mingled feel
;ngs of astonishment and pleasure to rem
iniscences OF Texas by the popular and
courteous Capt. Sing of the Central railroad.
Becoming entaused with his subject the
Capt. said, What I've told SO far is moth
ing, the COWS out there are elephants CON-
pared with with the puny animals here.
Ny father had an OK he wanted to ship to
your own place Charleston. and they had
to build special box tor him, these little
cars with doors only II feet wide were too
small" Noticing something peculiar, the
Capt inflated him self, assumed dangerous
look and simply added that's fact gentle
men, lam a man Of the world and of curl
osities too, Ihave pig that car take q drink
from q SIX ounce bottle. The train cone
and we left. These statements are indubit-
able-the Capt. has reputation for veraci-
tv at least co-e1tensive with his conspicuous
Herculean powers.

sXxxr SWAMP, S. c., Oct. 18th 1885.
Nr. Editor We were surprised to hear
tbst the TINES had again chsnged editors,
and while regreting for the paper the loss
of SO able an editor, We can but congratulate
it that it has fallen into the hands of one,
whom we feel assured will exert his best
abilities to keep the Tn1Es what it now is
readable and interesting paper. Our
neighborhood is very dull now, duller in
fact than it hss been this year. The farmers
are absorbed in their cotton picking, and
the ladies in their fall sewing. which is
about IS bad as spring cleaning. The cotton
fslds are vary white. and in some Selds
where the catter-pillers have destroyed The
leaves. it looks as though the ground Was
covered by heavy fall OF snow. The fam
lily of Mr.. Noses Butler have returned to
Sammy Swamp after an absence Of nearly
nine years in Texas. Their unfeisned JOY
at their return to their old friends and old
home, illustrates very fully the truth Of the
old song that. There is no place like home"
His daughters, two of whom. are just rsrg-
ing into young lady-hood, will prove qnite
an acquisition to the neighborhood. One
of your fair Manning maidens. Miss Ella
Butler, has been visiting relatives in our
community for several days past. The
weather is perfect now-beaut'ful, hazy In
dian Summer, and as We stroll through the
quiet roads and lanes, ablaze with bright
autumn flowers and grasses and look across
the fields ofgolden corn and snow white cot
ton 20 the woods aglow with bright tingedfo-
liage, we often think what pleasure it
would be to the poor, tired shop and factory
girls of large cities to be in our place for a
while, and enjoy TO their hearts content
these beauties of nature,
We were amused at the attack made upon
'tMeipse7 by COX Farmer, and could but
notice the contradiction of the thing; for if
he is as he processes to be, an "Ox Farmer"
why in the name of absurdity does he fall
atoul Of one who is trying to champion his
class? 't0h! contradiction thy name is man,
especially ifhe be an 'Ox Farmer
We havea slight suspicion that if he
knew as much about factors as does Meipse,
he would not so rahantly weld the cudgel
| in their behalf.
Well, Mr.. Editor, we believe there is not
another item of interest in this community,
except perhaps, that since the ginners have
lowered their prices they are doing fine
business, and SO We Will say !Au reroir.

A SIMILAR COMPLAINT
came from farmers along the st. Hilaire
branch of the Manitoba in Pope county,
where stretch of thirty-one miles is with
out a station. The commissioners went to
this place in response TO a numerously-
signed petition from people living between
Crookston and st. Hilaire.
a large meeting was held on the open
prairie at the very spot where the station
is desired. There was large crowd wait
ing TO receive the commissioners, and they
were loaded with statistics showing the
population Of the country tributary 10 the
line, the product Of wheat, etc. The farm
ers say that il is unjust that they should
have no greater facilities for handling mer-
chandise than now exists. The only pre-
tense TO a stopping place is side-track
and small platform the length of car,
where the goods are unlOaded and left for
the owner TO come for them, there being no
agent to attend to shipping bills or protect
the stuff if the owner does not happen to
be there when the train arrives. The COM
misSioners ascertained all possible facts in
these two cases during their visits.
Gen. Baker said that crops in that part
of the state looked fair, and that as nearly
as he could ascertain there was about the
same acreage of wheat as last year, pos
sibly little less
