An ARMY Officer ON Charleston.

Col. Batchelder, U. S. A., who went to
Charleston to make an official report up
on the condition OF affairs there, has re-
turned. He says:
The people have everything in their
houses that they need. 1t is true that the
frail articles, such as vases, pictures
and looking. glasses, are broken, but
these can hardly be considered pec;
essaries. The loss will fali principally up.
on the owners of real estate and not upon
the people at large. He did not see any Of
the pitiable gases Of distress that the pa
pers tell about The business section OF
the city is in ruins. There is scarcely a
brick house in that portion of the town
which will not have to be torn down, but
most of the people OF Charleston live up in
the Northern portion Of the city, and near:
iings remain intact: The only damage lhoy
have sustained is in the loss OF chimpeys
and the breaking off Of the plas,
ter, making the walls look less even and pref
ty than they were before. There is no reason
why the people SHOULD not return t0 their
houses. There is 90 danger. No one was
killed in q housee during the earthquake,
but all thase WIG dice, were killed in the
streets: N9 :, 99e Was killed ed by : .to wooden dsn
through the falling Of the brick stores and
warehouses. 1t would be good thing for
Charleston to have a storm and make the
people get into their houses. As for the
working CLASSES the earthquake is a bene:
fit to them, for it provides them with plen:
ty Of employment at higher prices than
they were earning before:

The Situation st Charleston.

1t is learned that in round numbers
40, 900, OF the 60, 900 inhabitants OF
Charleston have alb andoned their honses
and are sleeping in the open air. depot
has been opened for the distribution oi
the supplies to the poor, and means oil
transportation have been provided to
take suffering families to points as far
north as Baltimore.
Dispatches continue to pour in Offering
aid. About 500, 600 have already reached
there. 1t is believed that the contributions
will finally aggregate $500, 600. Money sent
by registered letter or by express to Mayor
Courtney or the relief committee comes
in the most desirable shape. although
many contributions arrive in the form Oi
postofIice orders, drafts. etc. Shortly after
10 o'clock Monday, the 9th inst, the scenes
OF despair and fright at the city hall were
again renewed by the falling buildings in
the vicinity. The great crowd near ST.
Philips church, where the tall spire is be-
ing torn down fled precipitately.
The subsistence committee meet reg
ularly and supply provisions to all who
are needy. There is still strong disposi
ton to remove the women and children
from the city to spare them further danger
and anxiety. The main objective points
are in upper and middle South Carolina
In Columbia ample quarters have been
provided for all refugees, and offers OF shell

The Daily Life Of the Pope.

A Naples correspondent of The Lon

years of age, leads very regular life,
and is in a fair condition of health
At 6 A. NJ. he celebrates mass in hi:
private chapel. ATT he takes break
fast, consisting of chocolate and milk,
with sometimes raw eggs beaten up
Immediately afterward he receives the
visits of his court, and Cardinal Jaco.
bini reports what has occurred in the
world, and gives him an account of the
letters received on papal business.
Besides these official letters, others ar
rive in great numbers from all parts oi
the world, most of them being from
priests, missionaries, monks, and nuns,
while others contain sums of money
from penitents, and many are petition.

have been translated and their contents
briefly reported to the pope. Trey are
placed in the papal archives. Hun
dreds of kilograms also arrive each day,
the greater part asking for the benedic-
ton in articulo mortis, which naturally
often only reaches its destination after
the petitioner is already dead. For its
telegraphic correspondence the Vatican
makes use of a numeral cipher. The
greater part of the morning is thus
passed in business. At l o'clock the
pope dimes, and afterward retires to
his private room until the heat of the
day is past. At 6 P. NJ. he repairs to
the Vatican garden, where his carriage
awaits him. At the prettiest spot In
this garden there has lately been erect
ed an elegant kiosque in eastern style,
and there the pope remains for some
time, taking coffee and other refresh
ments, and surrounded by intimate
friends. The conversation runs on the
topics of the day. and ON the articles
concerning the pope or papal politics
that appear in the Italian Or foreign
journals. Precisely at sunset the party
breaks up. and the pope returns to the
palace, his physicians having advised
him never to remain out Of doors after
sunset on account of the malaria which
prevails in the valley below Monte
Mario At about 9 o'clock, after pray
ing on his knees for half an hour, his
holiness retires to bed.

His $500 Trunk.

There was one man who didn't take
kindly to the late accident on the West
Shore by which doaen or more trunks
were smashed and their contents ruin
ed. When the passengers were notified
to exhibit their checks and make a
statement of damages this man ex-
hibited his piece of brass and declared
that nothing less than $500 would make
him whole.
'Pretty valuable trunk" remarked
the official.
Eyes. sir; was going to Europe for
. year."
The passengers gathered at the
wrecked car to identify what had been
saved, and as the parcels We're handed
down the number of the checks were
called of. Pretty soon out came q
thin, lean, cadaverous old carpet-bag
which did not seem to contain more
than shirt and pair of socks, and
IS the number of the check was called

There was q general laugh at his ex-
penseA during which he retreated to the

asked him how he came to make such
mistake" and he replied:

The Earthquake Felt at Sea.

Capt. Clark II. Jewctt. OF the schooner

that he experienced on the Lehave banks
the earthquake that prostrated Charles

The appearances at that time indicated
slight wind, but all was quiet, when sud
denly black wall seemed to rise on the
water, and II mighty wave came rolling
in that fairly lifted the schooner on its
crest to height that he never before knew
wave to reach. Then the schoon-
er went down like getting over n bank. and
was buried with the foam below. Emerg-
ing from this wave with sails torn from
her and with the crown work OF the top
mast gone the schooner encountered a sec
ond wave, but nothing to be compared to
the first, A terrific gale followed.
A sailor said:
He happened to look ahead just as the
great wave came In sight. There was a lit
tie wind and the tremendous mass OF wa
ter looked so like q great hill that he cried
Breakers ahead!" The next moment the
steamer struck against the seeming cliffs

Important Railroad Decision in Dakota.

Judge Mcdonnell at Fargo. OAK, ruled
on a very important question. In 1883
the legislature passed a law imposing a
tax upon the gross earnings OF the rail
roads and the real estate. This is in lieu
OF all taxes on other property. The recent
case was that OF Ramsey County vs. The
st. Paul, Minneapolis Il Manitoba Rail.
road, and it came up on a demurrer, and
Judge Mcconnell holds that the law SIM
ply exempts all land and property used for
railroad purposes, and that town sites
and other speculative property are taxable
in addition to the gross earning tax. This
decision does not affect the Northern Pacit-
ic as it's land was secured through an act
OF congress and not by purchase.

AN INGENIOUS CLOCK.

The Complicated Time-Piecc Constructed
by an Indian Firm.
A clock-manufacturing firm in Cal
cutta, India, have lately completed a
veryingenious time-piece in the shape
ofan- eight-day clock, which strikes the
hours on large, full-toned gong and
chimes the quarters on eight bells. In
connection with the clock there is a
perpetual calendar which gives the cor.
rect days of all the various months.
including the twenty-nine days of Feb
ruary in the leap-year. There is also
military procession worked by the
clock. representing various branches
of the British army, consisting of artil-
lery, cavalry and infantry, and the staff
in review order There is also a
sentry on duty who salutes q drum
mer. who beats the drum, and
bugler who raises his bugle to
his mouth every few minutes. All of
these figures are arranged at the top of
the dial There is also q musical in
strument, which plays while the pro-
cession is marching in review. Near
the bottom of the clock is placed a.
military band which is concealed by a
curtain, and which is raised every hour
when the music Is playing and the pro-
cessionis moving. and falls again inn
nediately after the clock has struck,
and remains drawn until the next hour.
The case, made of ebonized mahogany,
sabout six feet high, three feet six
inches W de, and two feet six inches
deep, hi hly ornamented with brass
trimmings. The circles on the dial to
show minutes. hours, days of the month,
etc.. are engraved and silvered. The
center and sides of the dial ara richly
enameled. At the sides of the case are
massive brass ornamental handles and
ornamental fretwork.-Chicaoo Sun.
