4 Fatal Dish of Sausages,

PITrsDURG, PA, January "a Ger.

nett, living in Pine Township, in this
county, partook of almost raw pork sau-
sages for supper last Monday. Yester.
day they were seized with violent illness,
which the attending physician pro-
nounccd trichinosis of The most violent
kind. The family consists of father,
mother and three children. The old
people were first attached. The doctor
thinks the children will die, but the
others may recover, although the chances
are against them. There is great alarm
in the ncighborhood, as several other
families partook of the same sausages,
but may have cooked them thoroughly
The hog whose flesh the sausagcs were
made from had been kept in a clean, dry
pen and fattened on corn.

A Talk With the President.

New YORK, January 3.-Thc World
will publish tomorrow Washington
dispatch giving a report Of an interview
of its correspondent with the President.
The correspondent inquired
"Do you believe Congress will carry
out your recommendations about silver?
Do you not think some compromise will
be the actual result accomplished ?''
The President said that he had no
means OF knowing what would be done.
1t was subject which had now passed
beyond his control or direction. He
had not the slightest wish or desire 10
influence in any way the consideration
of Congress beyond the methods en-
ploycd by him in directing their attention
to the subject through his official mess
age.
The President WAS asked how he re-.
garded Senator Beck's speech upon the
tariff. lie replied
"My own personal idea about that is
that the only practical way TO pass bill
would be to have the House committee
charged with this work take up the sub
ject in business fashion and modify the
presena law in such way as to help the
poor people who labor, and to take away
needless protection from the few who
have grown inordinatcly rich at the cx-
pense of the many. There arc many in
congruities in the tariff which could be
remedied by looking at the whole system
from a business standpoint"
Upon the subject of the Senate aud
the consideration by that body of his ap-
pointments, the President said: 81
have made no hasty selection Of officers,
but on the contrary, have given very
much time and investigation to the sub
ject, appreciating that very much de-
pends on the personnel of the Govern
ment. Possibly 1 may have erred in
some instances, but l am sure they are
few, and I have every evidence that the
country is satisfied with the new officials.
have no knowledge as to what course
the Senate will pursue, but l have no
idea it will assume to interfere with the
prerogatives of the President. | have
my duties, it has its duties. One thing
I do not believe, and that is that the
United States Senate will spend its time
in listening to petty criticisms of ap-
pointees which come from disappointed
applicants for office"

South Carolina in Congress.

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Neps and Courier, writing
under date of January 3rd, says:
Speaker Carlisle will announce the
House committees on Tuesday, the 5Lh
.instant, and not until then, despite all
reports to the contrary. The determina-
ton was reached after mature considera-
tion to prevent the worry and annoyance
of making changes of dissatisfied mem.
bers. Of course it is difficult to please
everybody, and the Speakers experience
in the past has taught him the necessity
for decisive action, otherwise the session
would be indefinitely prolonged in
wrangle for position.
South Carolina will have ut least two
chairmansbips, Mr.. Aiken being retained
at the head of the educational committee,
while Mr.. Dibbe will be..promoted from
the place he formerly occupied Oh the
public buildings and grounds committee
to the charm anship thereof Within
the past two or three days some one has
expressed to tho Speaker doubt as to
whether Mr.. Dbble really cared for the
first place on this committee, but this
doubt has been set at rest by an interview
between the Speaker and the friends of
the South Carolina representative, and it
is regarded as settled. In the past Mr..
Dibble has proven himself a valuable
member of this committee, and probably
no one is better informed SIS to the re.
quirelnents of the position.
Representative Hemphill will probably
be assigned place on the coinage COM
mittee, which will be one of the most
important of the 49th Congress, on
account of the silver agitation. 1t may
not be out of place to state that all the
opposition to silver coinage seems to have
been crystallized at New York. and hence
places on the coinage committee, of
which Mr.. Bland, of silver dollar fame
will.be chairman, will undoubtedly be at
a premium.
1t is probable that Representative
Dargan will go to the river and harbor
committee, thus ensuring Charleston
harbor a wa,chful and energetic guardian
and advocate for its improvement.
The lato Representative Evins was
chairman of the Territories committee,
but his successor, Mr.. Perry, will hardly
be given this post, and principally for
the reason that he is a new member.
This committee will have to deal with
the Dakota problem, the Republican
majority in the Senate being bent upon
recognizing Dakota as State, and being
determined to pass a bill to this effect as
early as possible.
In the last Congress Representative
Tillman was member of the pensions
and claims committee, but from his long
service in the House he will probably be
made chairman Of the pension committee,
as he was second to Mr.. Hewitt, of Ala.
bama, the former chairman.

Mall0nc'S Future.

WAsHINGToN, December 91.-Reprc.
sentative Brady, one of the few surviving
relics of Mahcneism, is at pains TO deny
the report that the ex boss will leave
Virginia, and further gave TO reporter,
in support of the denial, a roster Of the
families of reputation in the State who,
under Malone, have crossed over by the
Rcadjustcr route from the Democratic to
the Republican camp. Brady spins the
list out 10 great lerglh, and makes a des.
pcratc effort 10 show that Malone has
still u chance to rise again; but against
this may be put the significant fact that
John S. Wise has retired from politics,
and announces that in future he intends
to stick closely to his profession. Wise,
who has recently had an opportunity to
ascertain the condition of affairs in Vir-
ginia, is evidently without hope OF the
future.

Percentage.

The reckoning of percentages, like the
minus sign in algebra, is constant STUN.
bling block to the novice. Even expert
enced newspaper writer's often become
muddled when they attempt to speak of
it. The ascending scale is easy enough.
Five added to 90 is a gain of 25 per cent;
given any sum of figures, the doubling Of
it is an addition of 100 per cent. But
the moment the change is a decreasing
calculation the inexperienced mathema-
tician betrays himself, and even the
expert is apt to stumble or go astray.
An advance from 90 10 25 is an increase
of 25 per cent; but the reverse of this,
that is. decline from 25 to 20, is de-
crease of only 20 percent. There are
many persons, otherwise intelligent, who
cannot see why the reduction of lOO TO
so is not decrease of 100 per cent. if
an advance from so to 100 is an increase
of 100 per cent. The other day an arti.
Gle of merchandise which had been
purchased at 10 cents pound was resold
at 80 cents pound, profit of 200 rcr

the sale, said that, at the beginning of
the recent depression, several invoices of
the same class of goods which had cost
over 80 cents per pound had been finally
sold at 10 cents per pound, loss of over
200 per cent. or course, there cannot be
q decrease or loss of more than 100 per
cent, because this wipes out the whole of
the investment. An advance of from 10
to 80 is a gain of 200 per cent; but a
decline from 80 to 10 is a loss of only
GGs Per cent.-Ncw YORK Journal Of

ROAD DUTY.

The Legislature, at its recent session,
passed an Act reducing tho persons ex-
empt from road duty, so that no person
is now exempt except teachers, students
and ministers of the Gospel. The Act is
as follows:
SECTION l. That Section one thousand
and ninety, Title x, Chapter XXI, of
the General Statutes of this State be
amended by striking out the following
words "Members of the State and
county boards of examiners and school
trustees, members Of the board of asses'
sors for the assessment Of real estate for
taxation, millers engaged in grist or
merchant mills that are kept open for
six days in each week, guards, keepers,
employers and other officers of Lunatic
Asylums, and the Warner for five days."

The Columbia correspondent of the
Ne,os and Courier, speaking Of 1.-The Co.
lumbia Canal, says: ee. g7g
Mention of theli Canal suggests the
thought that few of those who have been
most loud in opposition to the so called
'Columbia ditch know anything about
its condition, orapparently care to and
out anything about it. Cemetery Hill,
the, great barrier across the Canal attits
middle, has been cut through, the river
wall rises high where few months ago
there were seething rapids, and now all
that is left of the huge. obstruction is q
mass of rock jutting; out of the hillside
in such shape that it can be quarried out
leisurely as the demand for srip-rap'
increases. ,i.. ~. s.!,s.;-si ;e;as.5
."The work. done during the last few
months is vast and it will impress every
one who looks at it with the belief that
much the hardest, longest and most
expensive. part Of the work has been
accomplished. The present upper termi-
nus Of the Canal is above the Cemetery
Hill and beyond the city limits. = The
ground TO be hereafter .traversed;is a fiat
stretch, of alluvial soil. The rock work
will be, Insignificant, and digging can be
prosecuted very, rapidly. F rom this
time forward steam dredges would expe.
dite the work a great deal, but the terms
of the legislative appropriation may
prevent their procurement. sf
''The Canal is giving mild and healthy
work to 25O convicts who would otherwise
remain idle in the: Penitentiary; it has
not yet taken a dollar from the State
treasury, and when completed and util.
lied it will yield South Carolina $4,000

cause they were not ratified:
con the morning of the 24th ult.,
about half an hour after the General
Assembly had adjourned sine die, Adam
Green, the porter to the Office of the clerk
of the Senate, found upon the desk Of
Senator Patterson, chairman of the com.
mittee on enrolled Acts, two Acts, both
of which showed all the evidences Of
having been duly and regularly enrolled
and sealed. They were entitled respect
lively 'An Act o.'.amend the charter Of
the Eutawville Railroad Company and
San Act to provide for and regulate the
incorporation of towns of more than one
thousand inhabitants in this State 1t
appears from the records that the first.
named Act was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Buist, and received its first
reading November "a, its second reading
November %, and was read the third
time December and sent to the House,
where it received its first reading Decem-
Der 8, its second reading December Is,
and its third reading December 10. The
House having made no amendments to
the bill, it was ordered to be enrolled for
ratification and:was sent to the enrolling
Office at once. On December 81 it was
returned to the Senate by the enrolling
Office and was Immediately delivered by
MI. L. T. Levin, the Journal index
clerk, to Senator Patterson, chairman of
the committee on enrolled Acts, who
gave Mr.. Levin his receipt therefor.
"Tho Incorporation Act was intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Smythe,
for the judiciary committee, and received
its first reading November 27, its second
reading December 2, and its third read.
ing December 3, when it was sent to the
House, where it was read the first time
the same day, the second time Decem-
Der l6 and the third time December II.
The House having amended the bill, it
was returned to the Senate the same day,
with amendments. The amendments
were Immediately concurred in by the
Senate and the bill was forthwith sent TO
he enrolling Office. 1t was returned 10
the Senate, duly enrolled and sealed on
December 1S, and, as in the case of the
Eutawyille Railroad Act, was at once
delivered to Senator Patterson by Mr..
Levin.
'It is the duty of the committee on
enrolled Acts to carefully examine, read
and compare the enrolled Act with the
original bill which accompanies it, and
if it is found to be an exact copy the
committee reports to the Senate that the
Act has been duly and correctly enrolled
aud sealed and is ready for ratification.
The record does not show that either of
these Acts was so reported to the SEN
ate."
The loss of the Railroad Act is a great
disappointment to the managers Of the
Eutawyille Railroad enterprise. 1t pro-
posed to allow the extension of the line
to Sumter and the North Carolina line,
and it is understood that work was about
to be begun on this extension.-Corcs-

The disease of tricbinosis is increasing

The disease Of tricbinosis is increasing
s Asprevalence through Pennsylvania and
Gnio, and isof occasional occurrence in
other States. Investigation has shown
that the little insects called trichinos are
contained only in the. lean meat of the
hog, and it is claimed by some that as
much as ten per cent. Of the Western
.shegs are diseased with it. These para.
sites are so small that they appear only
S under a powerful microscope, but when
eaten by persons they imbed themselves
sase muscles, causing intense pain and
general ysdeath. The danger Of contract
ing this disease is only encountered when
lean or half cooked pork or bacon is
eaten. If the meat is thoroughly cooked
Athe insects are efectually killed, as they
cannot stand ahigh degree Of heat; and
BY such cooking the meat is freed from
HE dangers of trichinosis. This is not q
Saasans subject to contemplate, for bacon
|sa1sd pork are staple articles Of food all
Eoyer the country; but the frequent oc-
currence of this terrible disease renders
it we'll enough to understand its causes
