 Great progress in temperance work has been made in South Carolina. Eleven out of thirty-four counties grant no license. Nine other counties have each only one li-
 cense town. In eight other counties the i-
 cense towns number two each. Charleston

 They don't neince matters in the great
 West. Thus Kansas paper says: The Rev.
 Boggs, who has been preaching to the Pres
 byterians of this place, threw up his position in disgust last week. He said he hadn't eat en square meal since he came into the town. and if he can't get better church he will go into the book canvassing business The trouble with the Rev. Boggs was that he wasn't 8 rustler, and our people don't want any other kind of a man.

The members of the Democratic State committee-nine in number-have been questioned concerning the matter and their replies are interesting. Four are opposed to the law, but only two favor it's repeal.

This is | very encouraging showing considering the | class of men from whom it comes, men of l influence in their community, but naturally | inclined to value highly the effect of patron age.
 The New Orleans Times-Democrat com plains that some northern papers do not un- derstand the facts regarding negro emigra Eon westward. It says that the emigration l of the negroes is small compared with the white emigration; for every negro who leaves i've Or more whites go. As for the cause 'it is the same spirit that carries thousands of New Englanders westward every year; the spirit of adventure, which has risen in ,he negro with freedom, the desiire to get cheaper or better lands than he has been 1 If the emigration westward, l put within the same lines of latitude, is any ! evidence of oppression or of serious dissatis- action on the part of the negroes, it might with equal reason be deemed proof that the white people of Vermont and Massach usetts Ire driven from home by oppression"
 Judge Dyer of Illinois has under consid. ,ra- ion some interesting questions of law. A uit was brought in the United States dia rict court to recover $1O. 900, the amount of
 paid up life insurance policy. The insured ! committed suicide. The plea of the com 'any was that death was intentional and not \ aused by accident, and that the company | vas not liable for damages. The plaintiff 'leaded insanity as the cause which led the | deceased to kill himself and that he was not T T esponsib1e for his acts. In his charge to l a he jury Judge Dyer instructed them to find a ccording to the facts shown by the evidence, c ut devised special form of verdict that the z 'oint of law might be left for decision by the D 'eneh. The decision of the jury was that q he deceased committed suicide by hanging t nd that he was insane at the time." The . losing clause is 'tand if upon the foregoing | acts so found, the court is of opinion on F natter of law that the plaintiff is entitled to ecover, then we find the issue in favor of ; he plaintiff and assess the damages at $10, t '53.
