In Chickerng Hall Yesterday afternoon a plano
forte concert was given by the Misses Louise aud
Jeanne Douste. Seven wears ago these Young women.

proliges and caused considerable surprise and loud
comment. Since then they have continued their

A SdMPLE

There are only four counties in South Caro-
lima that were permitted to give Mr.. Blaine
majority In those countless the Republican
preponderance was 80 great that Democrats
shrank from the crime and shame which an
attempt to carry them would have involved.
One of them was created since 1880 the other
three had then 1887 white and 7O.936
colored inhabitants These four counties were
all put into one Congressional district by
Democrats, in order to leave as few Republican
votes as possible in other districts. As they
do not adjoin each other-Sumter is at the
nearest pout about thirty miles from any part
of Georgetown, and both more than seventy
miles from any part of Besufovt-and cornec-
ton had somehow to be made in order to comply
with the requirement that a district shall be
composed of contiguous territory. strips were
picked out of six other counties, with care to
put into the district as many cOlored votes rs
possible, and even then the connection is not
made and the distrIct is not a constitutional
one except when the tide is out. The Official
description of this most remarkable Democratic
continuance, rs it appears in the Congressional
directory, reads thus:
Counties Beaufort Georgetown. Sumter and Berkeley lex
cepng the towns OF Mount and Summervle and
tween the South Carolina Railway
tho Ashley River below the County Of Col
letonD the lower township OF Riohland County;
the townships Of Collins. Adams Run Glover
Fraser. Lowndes and Blake IN the County Of Coeion;
the townships OF Amelia Goodbye Lyons Pine Grove Poplar
Providence vancos In the County Orangeburg; the
Townships nderson. Hope Indian. Kings (eKoeptng tho
town of Ringston) Laws, Mingo Penn Ridge and
Turkey county of Williamsburg and that portion of
barestoD County composed of James Island Folly Island
Morr1s STAND island living between them
.ror OF Charleston and the from
and below high. water mark
How any decent person ever brought himself
to adjudge this a compliance VITA the law
governing the formation of districts 1t Is
hard to understand, but such was the district
contrived by South Carolina Democrats to
gather in $4,000 Republican majority, and
thus to leave the other districts of the State
such that they mignt by especial effort be
carried for Democratic Congressman. Robert

THE DEAD PRO-HOON.

The newspapers of Friday last contained the
news that the British PROV oon of North Burmah
had passed away. None OF them added 10 the
melancholy announcement an extended or even
a brief oulogy upon the life and services OF the
deceased, the general omission being, OF course
due to a bad case of pressure upon columns But
il was just well For the pro-Woon as we are
all aware, not person who courted noto-
riety. Those who knew him best say that he
never sent a personal 10 the North Bur1nah
journals conveying the information that "our es.
teeaned and justly popular fellow-citizen the genial
pru-Woon, left town this morning and will
spend the heated term at the seaside He was
not that sort Of a parsonage. He cared passing
little for the attention OF the crowd the pro-
Woon did, and would seem TO have found his
highest enjoyment in the discharge of his official
duties. in making a frstclass collection of UNI
brellas. in supervising his stud OF elephants and
idols. and in recognizing the baseball system of
his country so US TO make the fatal clubbing of
the umpire justifiablc homicide.
Since the passing away of the Alsoond OF Swat
in the midst of his golden PRIME no similar
foreign casualty has made 30 deep an impre ssion
on tho American people. And naturally. The
late lamcnted pro-Woon is gratefully remembered
by thousands on this continent because OF the
ability and peIsistency with which he cham
pioncd the amendment 10 the game laws OF Bur

there will be general disposition to forget
That ne had ever been so weak and shortsigbted,
and We doubt IL even the most unfceling OF the
antl-Woon gang will be betrayed into abiding to
the circumstance. The proWoon had not been
very prominent Of late years. and we distinctly
remember not to have seen his name on the list
of those present at the last meeting OF the Con
cord School of Philosophy. Still the whole
soulci way with which last spring he threw an
abandoned youth whom he caught whistling airs
from the Mikado out Of a fourthstory North
Burmah club window awakened no little en-
th,siasm for him at that time in sensitive mus-
cal not to speak of other circles. Then again
politicians remember him because OF the sagacfty
no evinced in his canvass for the Prov oonslip
Discarding all such transparent nonsense as "pac-
ing himself in the hands Of his friends. he placed
himself in his own hands. and that so slulfully
that he entered the canvass with North Burnah
practically solid for him And the fact that on
the first ballot he received 1s4 votes although
there were but 100 delegates in the caucus shows
how strong his fences were.
But he has gone. We may see his like again
but VIC doubt it. A really able pro-Woon who Is
also trustworthy, has the courage OF his convic-
tions is not addicted TO playing the concctna IN
private and abstains from writing to the news
papers to inquire what the duty on pig iron
in 1s32-that variety Of pro-Woon is rare we
extend to North Burmah sympathy. X. L.

Congress appropriated 100000 at the last ses-
