Ii makes one sad to see our ami
able cOntreres of the States worried
so badly Owe the defeat of the Nor
rison Tariff Bill. True, it is a bitter
bill and one that has to be received
something like Peck's bad boy re
cclved tue %counsels of his kind par
ent, trusting that the tuture will
disclose the wisdom OF the acts
that to day are so hard TO bear.
Upon second consideration it is
to be hoped that the States will not
turn out into the cold, cold world,
the Democrats who prefer to follow
Sam Randall than to pursue the
thorny paths that Morrison treads.
The States is in the condition in
which Martin Van Buren, once
found hlm>elf, causing him to ex
claim, i'll the agony of his spirit,
"Our sutftrings IS intolerable,''
but afterwards he concluded that
he would trust to the "sober second
thought of the people.
Now does it never recur to the
s ates that the Randall Democrats
are placed in Il peculiar position =!
For instance in Louisiana sugar
growers believe that if the duty is
taken Oft of sugar, their industry
will be etfectually destroyed. They
may be wrong in their conclusions,
but beyond a doubt they are as much
entitled to their own opinion as the
States is to its own.
Believing therefore in protection
for their sugar, they have one of
two things to decide upon.
Either they must 90 over to the
Republican party, which past his
tory proves will put sugar on the
free list the first chance they
can ever get to do so. The Ha
wallan treaty, the proposed
Mexican and Spanish treaties
which the Democ.atic party has
Squelched proves this to be
ii fact that is incOntrovertlble !; or
they must remain with the Demo
Gratis, and take the chances that in
the revision of the tariffs. the du
ties on sugar will not btabrogated,
1t if they are reduced, the reduc
tion upon sugar will not be greater
than It will be upon ether indsss
aud in tue mean time Join 9th
er Democrats who Lave home in
dustlies to protect, to prevent any
further reduction on any Ameri
can industries.
There can be no doubt that the
is preferable.
1t might also recrr to the mind
of the able writer Of the States that
i the Randall wing Of the party
were to go over TO the Republicans
the d, mOcracy would find itself in
u very small hole, and instead OF
cracking its whip as the States pro
poses to do, it would soon be found
yelling Justify for help.
We deplore contentious ard dis
sensiOns in the ranks of the Democ
racy. now that 1t has a brilliant
future, but the fact is very evident
that the people of the United
States, and a large minority, at
least, of the Democratic party are
not ready to throw over the princi
pie of protection, at present.
1t would be far more desirable
and much more sensible that the
Otttime beaten low tariff men should
leave that question in allegiance,
and move forward on other great
questions of political policies, on
which the party is firmly united.

Wages In Germany.

Consular Dethmar, at Breslau, Germa.
NY, has made report to the Department
of State relative 10 agricultural labor.
He stated that the laborer usually lives
upon the estate, and is employed the
year round. The working hours are in
summer from 6 a. IN. to p. M, and in
winter from sunrise to sunset. He is
given fre. lodging and free fuel, aud it
customary also to allow his family the
use of one hundred square rods of land
for raising vegetables. As direct wages
he receives per annum SO to s23.80 in
cash, and twenty four bushels of rye,
three bushels of peas and one and one
half bushels of wheat. The laborer's
wife is bound to work in the fell when.
ever eequired and receives for days
work in summer II to ii cents and in
winter 10 to II. OF tea, meat, tobacco
and schnapps the laborer gets but little.
If he smokes Il pipe, it is but seldom,
ard his tobacco is unmanufactnred leaf
In harvest time he is treated to schnapps
to encourage him in his new work. The
government tax is no longer paid by farm
lsborers, but the commercial income tax
amounts to fifty or seventy five cents per
year. a writer on economic subjects
figures that laborer's family consisting
of himself, wife and five children under
twelve years of age, can subsist for sl.094
week, or S57 year. Consul Dethmar
also gives a tabular statement of the
wages paid to The miners and mine labor.

So! cents (which is paid 10 foremen, en-
gineers, and carpenters) to Isl and 16
cents paid to women and minors. The
average cost of the subsistence of q

In a Trance for Seventy Days.

COLUMBUS, NEB., January 12.-News
has just reached here from farm house
several miles north that Minnie Dishner,
Nebraska's sleeping beauty, recovered
consciousness on Sunday, January 8, the
seventeen day of her hystcro. ca,aleptic
trance sleep. The roads have been i'm
passable until the present time and the
news of her recovery could not be re-
ceived before. The girl fell into trance,
from which she has now revived, October
26 last. During this long interval she
had lain to all appearances lifeless, with
the exception of respiration and pulsa-
ton. When Miss Dishner awoke her
mind was apparently clear and unim-
paired. Her appetite and general feel.
iugs we're good, but her arms and legs
were paralyzed. She says she WAS con-
scious during the whole time of her pro-
trscted trance, but, though she cxerted
her utmost power to evince her conscious.
ness, sho could not move a single muscle.
She said she had no physical pain until
the for,ieth day OF her sleep, when the
electric battery Was applied. Since then
she has suffered thousand agonies of
body, and at times i: seemed as if her
mind wculd give way under the strain,
and she now complains Of terrible phys
icsl suileriugs in consequences of the
shock TO her system. The doctor in at
tendance says, however that she will
recover i'll short time and will also
regain the full use of her limbs.

Popping the. Question in Maine.

When was very small child re.
member hearing my father tell the fol-
lowing story: ga young man away down
in Maine went to see the idol of his
loutish heart one winters night. The
kitchen was the place of rendezvous, and
the kitchen fire the uninterested specta-
tor of their rival sparkiog. But, from
the distant position the two lovers took
from each other, I should imagine the
fire had it all on its side; for Hezekiah
sat upon one side and AIatildy on the
other of the wide, old.fashioned fire.
place. They sat as quietly as Quakers,
waiting for the spirit to move. The fire
cracked, the old clock in the corner
licked mournfully, the cattle stamped
uneasily in the adjoining stable, the cat
purred, but silence reigned between the
two. So quiet was it that mouse made
mistake, and thinking the company
had gone, scampered halfway across the
room, then scampered back again. Time
wore on, till the clock struck 10, when
the swain spied the tongs. For the fir,t
time in his life, he was attacked with an
idea. He was SO surprised that he
chuckled. Matildy looked up in sur.
prise. He took the tongs, aimed them
like gun, and said, sheepishly:
"Pm goin' ter shoot yer"
"What yer goin' ter shoot me fer?"
said the fair maid.
"'Cause love yer"
And SO in few wc.ds, was the all.
important question popped.

Thought lie Could See Clear Through

A specialist in throat troubles was
called to treat a Boston lady. who mani.
tested so much interest in his surgical
instruments that he explained their uses
to her. This laryngoscope," said he,
"is fitted with small mirrors and an elcc-
trio light; the interior of your throat
will be seen by me as clearly as the ex-
terror; you would be surprised to know
how far down we can see with an instru.
ment of this kind" The operation over,
the lady appeared somewhat ag,ated.
"Poor girl" said her sister, who was
present; "it must have been very pain
full" ooh, no, not that, not that" whis.
perei the Boston lady; "but just as he
fixed his instrument in place remcm.
bs:cl that had a hole in my stocking.'

A Deserted Bride.

BARNETT, January Son the evening
of Tuesday, December 20, near Willis
ton, S. c., at the residence of Robert L..
Wade, two of his daughters, aged re.
spectively sixteen and twenty -four, were
married, the former to young man
named Addison, aud the latter to Walter
Stroud, man about twenty five years Of
age, and by trade blacksmith. Both
couples babe their friends adieu and
started for Vicksburg, Mississippi, where
it was supposed they intended to locate.
They reached Thomson, Ga, the follow
ing day, Wednesday, where they halted
and put up st the Knox House, and re-
.mained until Friday, January l, when
they boarded train No. l, and got off at
Barnett with the expectation of finding
accommodations. Failing to do so, after
spending several hours, Addison and his
wife returned to Thomson by fast train
to spend the night. and Stroud and his
wife went to Sharon on tho Washington
branch.
Inseparating, the baggage of the party,
consisting of FIVE trunks, was checked
to Atlanta, and it was agreed between
them that they would all meet the fol-
lowing morning al Barnett, and proceed
westward by fast train. When Stroud
and wife reached Sharon they stopped at
the Edwards House, and the next morn
ing Stroud informed his wife that he
would run out to Harnett and meet the
other couple and would return on the
next train. He carried with him small
black valise, and when he arrived at
Barnett purchased ticket to Union
Point and joined Addison and his wife
and has no. been heard of since, but it
is supposed that he went to Atlanta, as
the baggage belonging to himself and
wife has been claimed there, aud he was
in possession Of the checks. 1t was very
hard for the lady to realize that she had
been deserted by her husband after being
married only few days, and when she
was enabled to view her position in its
true ight she wept bitterly, and remarked
that she would prefer death to having to
return to her parents roof under such
circumstances.
She was left without dollar and
among strangers, but she has been kind
ly treated and will be furnished with the
necessary means to return home. The
father of these young ladies, r. L.
Wade, is respectable farmer, and the
father of thirteen children. Walter
Stroud is the son of the Rev. w. H
Stroud, Baptist minister, who has lived
for some years in the vicinity of Willis
ton, Aiken County, and is the father Of
ten children. He is poor, but respected
where he is known. In 1875 he removed
from Langley, S. c., to Atlanta, Ca,
where he located ;or awhile, but nally
returned to Carolina.

The Gallant Dead.

We extract from "The Campaigns OF
stuart's Cavalry" by H. B. Mcclellan,
just issued by Randolph & English,
Richmond, the following touching Incl
dents which occurred in the late war
near Brandy Station:
"Butler had now secured a good posi-
ton, covering the road to Brandy Sta
ton, and where he might expect soon to
be reinforced by the 4th cavalry. More
over, he threatened the enemy's flank,
should he advance towards 'Culpepper
Court House. The one gun that had
followed Colonel Wickham from Brandy
Station was now available, and Butler
proposed to make a stand. But while in
the road, side by side with Captain Ear
! ley, (of General Stuart's staG), their
horses heads in opposite directions, a
she'll from the enemy struck the ground
near by, ricochetted, cut OF Buffers leg
above the ankle, passed through his
horse, through Farley's horse and carried
away Fariey's leg at the knee.
"The Hon. John T. Rhett addresses
his narrative, from which have already
largely drawn, to the Hon. NJ. G. Butler;
and thus describes a scene which, for
knightly courtesy and heroism, cannot
bo surpassed:
"After we crossed the stream the enc.
my placed gun in full view of us all.
While they were so doing you ordered us
to retire. As we were moving of 1 was
turned in my saddle looking backwards.
1 saw the artilleryman fire the gun, heard
an exclamation, and saw that the shot
had taken effect in the small group with
you. Captain Chestnut and myself, with
a few men, hurried to the spot. We first
went to you, sending some men to aid
Captain Farley. When we had placed
you in blanket you said to us: I wish
that you two gentlemen, as you have
placed me in the hands of my own men,
would go and take charge of Farley
ave went to Captain Farley, told him
that you had sent US, took him out of a
blanket and placed him in an old flat
trough. He was very cool, in fact pleas
ant and smiling, though evidently in
great pain. Just as We were about send
ing him away, he called me to him and
pointing to the leg that had been cut off
by the ball, and which was lying near by,
he asked me to bring it to him. I did
SO. He took it, pressed it to his bosom
US one would child, and said smiling:
1T is an old friond, gentlemen, and | do
not wish to part from it, Chestnut and
myself shook hands with him, bidding
good bye, and expressing the hope that
We should soon again see him. He said:
Goodbye, gentlemen, and forever. I
know my condition, and we will not
meet again. thank you for your kind
ness. 1t is pleasure to me that have
fallen into the hands Of good Caroinians
at my last moment
"Courtoously. even smiliugly, he nod.
ded his head to US as the men bore him
away. He died in few hours. have
never seen a man whose demeanor, in
the face of certain, painful and quick
death, was so superb. l have never en-
couutered anything so brave from first to
last"
Let the world, whilst doing justice to
the memory of this preur chevalier, see
the instructive love of fellow Carolinians.
at is a pleasure to me that have fallen
into the hands of good Carolinians."-
