A naturalist who has bestowed attention
upon the sea and its inhabitants says that he
has observed whole shoals of herring, 'in
their anxiety TO escape when pursued by
whales, piled up above the surface of the sea
to IA height Of from three to six feet On one
occasion the fish formed a mass even with the
top OF the mast of a fishing boat, namely,
about fifteen feet and had part of this mass
fallen into the boat it would doubtless have
sunk" There is on record another curious
description intended TO convey an idea of size,
namely. that of "a pumpkin SO big that eight
men could stand around it"

NEW CINCINNATI COURT HOUSE.


1t is Planned, but When VIII 1t BE
Finished?
Two years ago this spring the people of
Cincinnati had an impression that justice
had not been done in a murder trial A col
ored murderer was sentenced to imprison-
ment instead of to be hanged Thereupon
the indignant populace pro led to wreak
vengeance, not on the judges who bosSei the
trial, or the jury who let the prisoner off, or
yet on the lawyers whose eloquence magne-
tized the jury, but on the magnificent Hamil-
ton county court house. They riddlad it and
set it ON fire The fire des' royed the finest law
library west of the Atlantic states. The
damage done was almost incalculable. A
vast amount had to be added to the tax list
of the county, and the citizens will have to
go down INTO their pockets and pay it. 1t
was jolly sort of vengeance that.

This would never do, thought Anarchist
Fieldon. He sprang upon a wagon and
called wildly on the people to kill the police
hirengs. Word wa sent in moment to a
police station, and 1875 men started at once
to the Haymarkct. $40 arms!n cried Fieiden,
as they advanced on the Sc ne. Police In
speclor Bontield ordered them TO dispense
in the name of the law. A second time he
gave the command. The next moment it
seemed as if earth and ky split open. The
policemen marched in ranks, one row behind
another number of bombs were seen to
fall between the second and third rows.
Policemen dropped to the ground shattered
and bleeding Some Of the Socialists drop
ped too it is sad. Immediately after the
explosion the officers fired volley after volley
from their revolyers into the crowd who
replied to the bullets with knives, pistols and
clubs. They had come prepared, but they
were dispersed. In few moments they
broke ranks and fed before the officers, in
ali directions It only proved tor tha thous-
anth time what they ought to have known,
that "A few well-armed, determined, drilled
mon, who ,tand shoulder to shoulder like a
stone wall, can put to flight a hundred times
their number.

A valiant champion of the cause of the
workingman is John j. o Neil, the St Louis
congressman. He is chairman of the very
important committee of labor of the house
of representatives. just now he has his
hands full in investigating the causes of the
recent labor troubles throughout the coun-
try and principally in his own city.
Mr. ONeil was a St Louis boy, and will
be 40 years old on June 25 He received a
common school education, and was in the
civil service OF the government during the
war, after which he was engaged in manu-
featuring pursuits For the indomitable
energy, perseverance and pluck which is
shown so well in his portrait he was elected
to the legislature of Missouri in 1872, and
was twice reelected. The workingmen's
party nominated him for congress in 1873,
but he withdrew from the fear of injuring
their cause through the risk of defeat. He
was elected to the Forty eighth congress a
Democrat, and Immediately received d
place on the labor committee, of which h,
became the head ON his election TO the pres
ent congress.

he is sure the favorite American make of
machine could have held its own with the
British manufactures, He also says there
are rumors over the water that the coming
cycle is to make u mile in less than two min
utes Over 800 cycles were exhibited at the
Stanley show, 400 different varieties. The
steerage and brake apparatus of tandem
should be controlled by one person. One
tandem at the show had the driving wheels
OF a bicycle and tricycle. connected Dwarf,
or so-called safety bicycles, are pronounced a
delusion and snare.

Bachelors Never Die.

The New York Herald quotes from its
jacksonville namcsakc to prove that
bachelors never die, thus:
John Kelly thought Tilden too old and
frail to run second time as President
John Kelly is dead. The stalwart Chan
dlor wrcstcd the Presidency from Tildcn
Chandler is dead. Grant, it is said,
would have arrested and imprisoned Til
den if he had attempted to claim the
office he had been elected to. Grant is
dead. Hancock WAS chosen as q more
likely man to live through the Prcsidcn-
cy than Tilden. Hancock is dead. Hen
bricks seemed to have long life ahead
of him rs compared with the man at the
head of the ticket. Hclldricks is dead.
Seymour, Mcclellan, all the old candi-
dates are dead. Meanwhile Tildcn thinks
there is nothing SO invi8orating as work
ing away before the mast on his yacht.
The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1886-07-15

is severely plain; there is SO little varia-
| ton that the prospect soon becomes
monotonous. A feature is the bread gal
lorics, with their immense pillars; nearly
every building has them.
In these great houses there is room for
hospitality. The people haven't as much
money as we have in the North, but they
know how to spend what they have bet
ter. A Now Orleans gentleman said:
GA great many people live comfortably
on nothing" If they have but n dollar
they spend it like king. Society sccms
to be their life. Breakfasts, lunchcons,
dinners, balls and receptions! They
never tire of the crush, the chatter, the
music. They work rs we play. Tho
women are beautiful and well educated
generally. Men idcalizc them. Their
sway is absolute. Tho result is doubt
less beneficial. They try to 1.-Two up to
the standard which their male friends
have set up for thcm-mortals that arc
but one step from heaven. 80 link be-
tween woman and an angel" Per
haps too great a part of their lives is
spent i'll society; tho stream Of insin-
cority and ilattcry which is poured into
thor cars year i'll and year out is apt to
wash away the freshness and simplicity
which constitute woman'S greatest charm.
They read good books, and consequent
ly are broad-mindcd. They have prncti-
cal ideas, and make the best OF wives.
Their pale faces will not compare ravoru-
bly, with tho rosy checks Of Northern
girls, III the eyes of Northern mon ut
least. They ruin their complcXionS by
using powder; Mt II very carly age their
faces arc colorlcss. Congress might pass
an anti-facc powder act, on the ground
that beauty is gift from tho gods for
the benefit Of mankind, and she who
ruthlessly destroys it is fit subject for
fine and Imprisonment.
The men do not average as we'll as the
women. They are able, but do not know
how to make their talents servo them
They lack energy and application, and
possibly opportunity, although men
ought to make opportunities. Very few
of them still cling to the idea that work
is degrading, that gentleman must be Il
loafcr.
Amuscmcnts arc lbcrally patronizcd.
Tuesday was the Mardi Gras festival.
There is no holiday in the North like it.
business Is suspended, and the whole
population appears on the streets. Fully
hall the people wear masks and highly
fantastic costumes, and arc given due
license i'll speech and manners. From
early morning until late at night they
blow horns, dance, sing and play the
fool generally. They are better citizens
for the frolic; it .rcvivcs their interest in
sober things, and cOnvinccs them that IL
little nonsense goes long ways.
Mobile has about 40,0 900 inhabitants,
and is better off than many other South
crn cities. 1t is delightful place for
winter tourists, anu as its fame spreads
throughout the West it will furnish win
ter homes for people who object TO severe
| weather.

Wine Recipe.

The following is Mr.. \. f. Broadwn-
tcr's recipe for making al excellent table
wine from blnckbcnics, grapes, musca-
dimes or apples:
Fruit, 2 bushels; sugar Cbcst whitc) 80
pounds; mash the fruit, put into a 40 gal-
Ion barrel, then put i'll the sugar. Add
water until the barrel is filled to within
4 inches of the bung, and shake the bar
rel until the ingredients arc thoroughly
mixed. Thcn cover the bung with some
thin cloth to keep out insects. Let it
stand ten days to formcnt, then add
water to within 2 inches of tho bung.
Now stop the barrel perfectly air tight.
Introduce Il syphon-bcing careful that
it does not dip into the iquid--and let
the outer end dip into Il vial filled with
water. The gas will escape through the
syphOn into the water and not allow any
air to enter the barrel. Let the barrel
remain III this condition unmolcstcd 4
months, and the wine is ready to draw
OFF. After the wine is drawn of, lcavo
the pummacc in the barrel and add q
few pounds Of common sugar or molasses
and fill the barrel with water; let stand
to make vinegar.
