900 Miles an Hour bY Rfil

From the San francisco Chro0icle.
When George Stevenson asserted his ability
TO run passenger coaches at a speed OF twelve
to fifteen miles an hour, scientific and practi.
cal men deemed him 6t for lunatic ASYLUM,
but time has shown that trains may be run at
a much greater velocity without materially
adding to the dangers of raj way travel The
flight OF the fast express on the Pennsylvania
railway is mark ed exsmple of the POSSIBLE
ties in the way OF sustaining. high rates of
speed. This road now runs the fastest train in
America. Nine hundred and twelve miles, in
cluding seven stops, are omplished In 95l%
hours. and the average time is $3.50 miles an
hour. sorttou of the distance is run al the
rate of rs miles an hour. At a speed of 80
miles an hour the driving wheels of the loco
motive on this train make 25S1h revolutions a
minute. VIM. Nanderbilts squirt of 81 miles
in 81 minutes on the New York Central is de-
clared to be the highest rate of speed ever
attained In this country. but this speed was
not a surprise 10 good engineers. many OF
whom are 1frm in the belief that 100 miles an
hour will yet be accomplished on American
roads.
Thirty -one years ago Col. Mcggs read
paper before the New ! ork Farmers Club on
Future Travelling" in which he expressed
the belief that railroad cars could be safely
propelled by steam at the rate of 0 miles an
hour. He said: 1.-THE Emperor OF Russia has
taken the first great step toward what deem
the ultimatum Of RAILROAD travel. Instead OF
cutting what / call mere drill through the
country and going around everything in The
way for q straight line. he has out broad way
for 500 miles from st. Petersburg 10 Moscow
He has made 1t all the way 200 feet wide, 40
that the engineer sees every thing on the road.
This is part Of the futurc-the rail- DAD from
point 10 point with Mathematical line; the
rails ten times stronger than are now used:
the locomotives on wheels OF far greater di-
ameter; the gauge of n relative breadth: the
signals and times perfectly settled; the roads
on both sides during the trHnsit OF trains
having the gates OF the walls al ciosed-then
instead OF travelling 100 miles an hour we shall
more safely travel 800 lies an hour "
One of the latest efforts at Improvement in
locomotives is that of a FrenchmHn named
Estrada. who has con strSeted an engine which
he calls La Parisienne. La Parisenne. when
watered and fired, weighs ~ tons. It's driving
wheels six in number are 81 feet in diane
ter. The cylinders are outside, with valve
boxes on the top. The diameter OF each CYL
indsr lie 1917 inches and the length OF stroke
is feet and 81 inches. This engine is built
'r high speed, and Will carry pressure of
200 pounds 10 the square inch above the at
mosphere, or an absolute pressure OF 2i5
pounds. Estrade's engine is designed TO run
at the average rate OF ~ miies an hour.

You can sing when roses bloom,
When the air is full OF May;
Can you sing when roses fall.
When the freshness fades away?
You can work when hope is bright,
When the morning fills the sky;
Can you work when clouds arise,
When the glory passes by?

You may never know 1t here,
Nothing will be found in vain.

COL. RICHARDSON IN
MANNING,

On his return to Columbia, Col.
Richardson rested Wednesday night
in Manning. In the evening the citi-
zens Of the town congregated in front
of the Central Hotel where he was
stopping, and after music by the col
ored Brass Band, with three lusty
cheers, the next Governor of South
Carolina was called for 3.
Presley Barron, Esq, introduced
Col. Richardson, who was received
with regular Democratic yells. He
spoke feelingly of Clarendon, his ma
tive heath. Ny home, said he, that
has made me what I am, and for
whose welfare I would hold no sacri-
fee too dear. Col Richardson rap
idly reviewed our political history
since '76. He recurled to the horrors
of the Radical reghinle when Moses,
Scott and Melton, held the reins Of
government, and violence and disor-
der reigned supreme. Comparing the
state of anarchy that existed at that
time with the peaceful prosperity Of
to-day, Col. Richardson said the duty
OF every citizen now is the preservation
Of these rights and liberties. There
are solemn problems to meet-the
question of labor now agitating the
country-the reconciliation of the
two races to the preponderance of the
white race, and the tariff problem,
which is sapping the wealth OF the
country.
Expressing his thanks for the COM
pl,ment shown him, he concluded by
urging the people to always and for
ever remember that to South Carolina
they owed their constant and most
devoted energies.
Col Richardson is devoted to Clar-
endon, his birthplace and home, and
the people of this County delight in
honoring her distinguished citizen.
Clarendon is enthusiastic over the
bright prospect Of giving to the State,
the next Governor.

in the mire OF adversely. Remember,
in conclusion, said he, that united
we stand, divided we fall" and that
the people OF South Carolina can only
hope to rule by complete harmony
among themselves.
Col. Richardson spoke for an hour
and half, ard was Literally applaud
ed by his appreciative listeners.
'sTwo Ghosts in White farce,
down on the programme, had to be

The Messrs. Briggs and Mr.. Tom
Brailsford, who are expert violinists,

to the enjoyment Of the evening.
Prof. Lanham, the principal
of this fourishing institute,

that time his success has been almost
phenomenal. Owing to his herculean
efforts commodius two-story acade-
my is nearing completion, and his
school has grown to be one of the
standing educational institutions Of
the County.

Sermon by Rev. L. D. Bass
in the Manning Baptist
Church.
Continued.

A multitude of the evils OF life are
overruled by God.
For some OF the evils which befall
US, no blame attaches to US. The best
things often injure, as fire, water, wind,
rain and sunshine. Their immense
power to benefit make them capable of
harming and even of destroying.
The water may bear down house and
harvest, but the freshet far away feeds
a thousand thirsty fields. The storm
as it desolates, lifts the miasma from
an empire, drives the sicknesses from
a thousand homes, and prepares the
earth for the plough and the seed. Go
where there is none and you have a
Sahara. There is terror in the skies,
but how little injury is done by all
that roaring and flashing tumult and
what a sense of God awakens beneath
the lightning and thunder. If evils
OF this sort were removed, how much
good would perish with them. The
wheat would be rooted out with the
tares. Better as it is! God toucheth
the mountains and they shake; he rid
eth upon the sky, he walketh upon the
waves Of the sea. And when Fear
cries aloud, an answering voice is waf-
ted over the pillows, 1t is I, be not af-
raid And now as to that solemn fact
of Death which confronts US; it is nee
essary that We shall die, in order that
there shall be support, a place and
an employ for the generations that
come after us. We die for prosterity
resigning life's gain and labors to our
children. And it is good for us to die,
for thus we attain to q higher destina-
ton. It is our glory that we are but
! short time here, in imperfection, il
want, in unrest, preparing for better
and nobler lie. No man is truly
great until ne dies. And many a
man has felt it 10 be so and has hail
ed the final hour with a desire that
quenched every other feeling in his
breast.
Ii death is painful, this is the con
sequences OF sin: The wages of sin is
death. Rom. 6:23. The life of the
best man deserves death and they all

Anything to Beat a Railroad.

In speaking of the movement of the
general passenger agents to head off
the ticketscalpers, the New York
Dolly Indicator says:
The railroads have not adopted the
rule requiring limited tickets to be used
only for continuous train rides, without
excellent reasons. The roads have no
desire to prevent passengers from stop
ping over at places along their lines
On the contrary, they have heretofore
made it as convenient as possible for
people to do this very thing. But how
has the travelling public shown its ap-
probation of the courtesy? Simply by
trying, in every possible way, to swim
die the railroads whenever theV saw
chance. a man wants to go to Buffalo
what does he do? Buys a ticket to
Chicago, and when he gets to Buffalo
sells the unused portion of his ticket to
a scalper. The railroad is dOublv
cheated. First, it carries the original
swindler to Buffalo for less than it
takes a passenger who is too honest to
indulge in the luxury of cheating the
railroad and, second, it carries anoth-
er man from Buffalo to Chicago at less

| traveller, who cannot arrange to buy
more tickets than he intends to use,
never thinks of going to the railroad
Office for the tickets he wants. He
patronizes the scalper and helps that
one to skin the railroad. So it goes,
the railroads by an extension of court
esy have been victmized and robbed
by the travelling public. The everyday
traveller at all times has his eyes open
to the chance to beat the public And
so widely has the influence sp cad that
even staid, hOnest-gOing people, who
travel only occasionally, have come to
think it quite the thing to deal with
scalpers, and assist in whatever swindle
may be necessary to effect a saving for
themselves of few dollars. We are
glad that the railroads have decided at
last to protect themselves from the dis
honesty of people who claim to be more
than respectable"
