Near CHARLOTTE Harbor, Fla, is a coast
where one can wade over fifteen hundred
feet from the shore. In certain seasons
this place il alive with men, axes in
hand, who await the large fish that seek
the place as means of escaping from their
arch enemy the porpoises. The mel
easily kill the fish with their axes, as the
water is as transparent as glass, and they
can see how to strike them without any
difficulty.

The Missionary Herald tells how the
Turkish government EFFORTS taxes from
its poor subjects. One poor woman, it
says, was tied to a tree with a large bag of
stones about her neck, for the purpose Of
compelling her to Pay taxes. In another
place . sick man had his bed taken from
him and sold, other persons are beaten
and some are sent to prison. It is a sad
cry Of poverty which % comes up from
all parts of the Turkish empire.

Common Errors.

= y. a.. ~
Nine newspapers out of ten, and ninety
and nine persons out of q hundred, when
they speak of "Congress" mean the lower
house alone, and call Representative q
Congressman. Tho Senate and the
House taken together constitute the Con-
gress, and a Senator is as much Con.
gresham as Representative is. A like
confusion of terms exists regarding the
words minister" and Ambassador
Our representatives at Foreign Courts
are not in any sense ambassadors. They
are merely ministers resident Only six
countries in the rtsorldvthe five great
Europeap~powers and Turkey-send or
receive ambassadors.
The difference between an net and a
law is alse very great but the conterlpo-
rary press generally speak of them as
identical. An act may bepassed By both
houses Of Congress, receive the Presi-
dents signature, aud go on the Statute
books, batfuntil the courts have passed
+ upon it,it is,nnt law. Many acts are
unconstitutional others are imperative ;
others again conflict with established
laws An act does not become law
until'i has proven its raison d'ete. An,
other un.American blunder which is
constantly made, is speaking of o private
soldier as common soldier. This may
do in European countries, where class
distinctions are rigidly observed in civil
as we'll assnlilitary life, but itwont do at
all IN this free and glorious republic
where, as the evangelist says, there is
nothing common or pnclean. These are
errors picked up. at random-but one

could light upon two or three billions Of

Soda Locomotives.

= ?
At the Baldwin Locomotive Works
there are in course of construction four
locomotives which are designed to be run
by soda, which takes the place of fire
under the boiler. Soda has much-the
same power as coal, without any of the
offensive gises which that fuel emits.
The engines are nov nearly finished and
are to be shipped within two weeks to
Minneapolis, Mimi, and .are;to beSrun
on the streets Of. that city, where steam
engines are forbidden.
/ The engine has much The same .ap.
pearance as passenger car. 1t is about
is feet long, entirely boxed in, with no
visible smokestacks or pipes, as there is
no exhaust or refuse. The boiler is of
copper, 843 inches in diameter, and Is
feet long, having tubes running through
it, as in steam boilers. Inside the boiler
will be placed FIVE tons of soda, which,
upon being dampened by jet of steam,
produces an intense heat. When the
soda is thoroughly saturated, which will
occur in about.six hours, the action
ceases, and then it is necessary to restore
it to its original state by forcing: through
the boiler q stream of,superheated steam
from stationary boiler, which drives
the moisture entirely from the soda, when
it is again ready for, use. The, exhaust
steam from the cylinders is used to satu-
rate the soda, and by this means all refuse
is used.
These engines are the first of their kind
that have been built in this country, and
are being constructed underline super
vision Of George Kuhler, German
engineer. The engines will have about
the same power as those on the New York
elevated roads, and will readily draw four
light cars. Soda gengines are now used
in Berlin and other European cities very
successfully, and they also traverse the
ST. tGothard Tunnel; under the Alps,
where steam engines cannot be used,
because the length of the tunnel renders
it impossible to devise a system of ven.
tilation which will, carry, off the foul
gases generated by Ia locomotive. So
overpowering would those gases become
that uuffocation would ensue. e.--Philadel-

Tie IeConte Pear.


The News and Courier has on several
occasions directed the attention of the
farmers of South Carolina to the claims
of the now celebrated LeConte pear, as
presented by its friends in this State and
in other States. The testimony in regard
to its general merits, including It's value
as a money crop, has been uniformly
favorabls, and every season adds to the
number of those who have tried its cul-
tiyation. with satisfactory results.
!. eslatest statement. that we have seen
in regard to the profits of the LeConte
pear, when grown for market, come from
Thomasyille, Ga, and is given by cor.
respondent of the Atlanta Constitution,
|swho has been visiting the large and val.
liable orchards near that place. To give
an idea Of the wonderful productions of
the pear in, question, the correspondent
srslates the. experience ,off MI. Leander
Yarnadoe, of Thomasville, who started
fifteen years ago with three small trees.
The aggregate profits derived from the
orchard thus founded have been $40 900,
this sum representing, of course, sales of
young trees as well as the fruit. A yield
Of twenty-five. bushels, itlis,said, is often
obtained from six year-old tree. The
lpears:1are readily soldin the North and
East at $3.50 to Sc q crate, or half bushel,
and at even IS a crate o tree Six years old
is worth $3.50 year. These figures will
not be regarded as extrayagant when it
is added that Mr.. Varnadoe's income
from his orchard, last year, was 81 900.

thrives unusually well in Thomas Coun-
,ty, but this fact is rather encouraging
than otherwise to South Carolina far.

inthat county are very nearly the same

an Experts Opinion of Exercise.

Take the heart-itself very bundle of
muscular fbers. We know that as long
as we live, whether sleeping or waking,
that wonderful organ keeps up its regu-
lar contractions and expansions. But,
when we use our muscles, their contrac-
tile force upon the blood-vessela helps
the blood along its channels, and thus
takes little labor from the propelling
heart. 1t beats faster but with less effort.
While helping the heart, muscular exer.
else helps the lungs also. More exercise
means for the lungs more breath; that is,
more air inspired and more cArbonic-acid
gas expired. By deeper breathings the
involuntary muscles are strengthened:
While the lungs and heart are doing
better work under the stimulus of mus
cular exercise, the heart pumping the
blood more certainly to the farthermost
tissue of the body and the lungs more
rapidly purifying the blood, other organs
are benefited. The diaphragm. that
muscle separating tho lungs and heart
from the stomach aud liver, IS rising and
falling. and, with the increased expan-
sion aud contraction of the walls of the
thorax, is moving all tho contents of the
abdomen to activity The liver, the
great gland of tho bply, has not only
moro blood sent TO it, but is quickcncd
to action, -" -

:BlaIne,s Opening Speech.

Mr.. Blaine's speech opening a the Maine
campaign discusses three questions. Of
these, the first, the labor question, is
matter of domestic interest. The second,
which has reference to the Cutting Incl
dent and the Canadian fisheries, belongs
to the domain of foreign affairs. Both
are discussed in MIR. BIaine's character.
istic.manners, He thinks the knights of
Labor should vote with the Republican
party, because it isthe party which favors
the continuance of the existing tariff.
That tariff is assumed to benefit the Ia
boring man in some Unexplained manner,
though the laboring man is probably
aware that under its operation his wages
have fallen to remarkably low point,
and are not likely to get much higher till
e}tariff tax on raw: naterial is removed,
as was proposed in the Morrison bill,
which Mr.. Blaine condemns. Another
argument addressed to the knights of
Labor has at first sight a novel aspect,
but on close inspection is seen to be the
bloody shirt made over sin a. new style.
The cclorcd voter in the South according
to Mr.. Blaine, is disfranchised. It re.
suits from this that his wages are low,
and he is thus enabled to hold certain
fields of labor to the exclusion of the
higher priced white labor of the North.
The tendency of this state of things, says
the Maine statesman, is to keep wages
low in the North. The iron aud cloth
made in Alabama are cheap because Of
the Democratic ascendency in that State
and at Washington. The remedy is, not
to taks.Northerli capital where it can: be
used'to the best, advantage, but to give
the Republicans the power at Washing
ton to re. enfranchise the Alabama laborer
and thus enable him to vote himself
higher wages. The fisheries question is
discussed no less smartly. Mr. Bayard's

ment to recommend to Congress COM
mission to frame new treaty. Mr..
Blaine has, Of, course, something to say
of Mr.. Bayard's "insolence and bravado
| toward Mexico" in contrast with his
supposed timidity toward Great Britain.
Mr.. Bayard's firm denial of Mexican
| jurisdiction in certain cases is the plain
fact which Mr.. Blaine seeks to distort.
| Cuttings release is sufficient answer, to-
all critics of Mr.. Bayard's policy. Last
lily, the local prohibition party Mr.. Blaine
eastigates as mere implement in Demo
cratic hands to embarrassthe Republicans.
On the whole, this effort Of Mr.. Blaine,
considering the amount of ammunition
he is reported to have been laying in,
does not do justice to his reputation as a
political debater, but would rather seem
to indicate decided break in the distin-
guished gentleman q. intellectual vigor.-

: The correspondent of the News and

during the last twelve years Que hundred
and tSelve cold blooded murders have
been committed in that County. That
number appeared on the criminal docket.
The best years for killing we're 1874,
when there were 16 indictments for mur-
der; in 1878, IA; in 1885, Is. The
poorest year, when Edgefeld was not
herself from somes reason, there were
only three murders. This was in 1879
and showed lack of the true Edge6eld
spirit. OF course there were many kill:
ings, maimings, gatherings and bruisings
that took place in these years that did
not get on the sessions docket.

authority for the statement that in Ken
lucky during the last five years twenty
Counties and two hundred and ffty.six
voting precincts in other Counties have
put a stop to the sale of intoxicating
liquors under the operation of the local
option law. Twenty.seven Counties arc
to vote or have voted this year under
special Acts passed at the last session Of
