WONDERS OF THE SEA.

The sea occupies three. fiftbs of the
surface of the earth. At the depth of
about $500 feet, waves are not felt. The
temperature is the same, varying only
triAe from the ice at the poles to the
burning sun of the equator. A mile
down, the water has pressure of over
ton to the square inch. If a box six feet
deep were filled with sea water and
allowed to evaporate under the sun, there
would be two inches of salt left on the
bottom. Taking the average depth of
the ocean to be three miles, there would
be layer of pure salt 230 feet thick on
tho bed of the Atlantic. The water is
colder at the bottom than at the surface.
In the many bays on the coast of Nor
way the water often freezes at the bot.
torn before it does above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look at
them in storm, one would think the
water travelled. The water stays in the
same place but the motion goes on.
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high, and travel fifty miles an
hour-more than twice as fast as the
swiftest steamer. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen times
the height, hence wave five feet high
will extend over seventy-fve feet Of
water. The force OF the sea dashing on
Bell Rock, is said to be seventeen tens
for eacn sJuaro yaid. Evaporation is a
wonderful power in drawing the water
from the sea. Every year layer Of the
entire sea, fourteen feet, is taken up into
the clouds. The winds bear their bur-
den into the land, and the water comes
down in rain upon the fields, to flow
back at last through rivers. The depth
of the sea presents all interesting prob.
lem. If the Atlantic were lowered
G,564 feet, the distance from shore to
shore would be han Il great, or 1900
miles. If lowered a little moro than
three miles, say 1860 feet, there would
be road of dry land from Newfound.
land to ireland. This is the plane on
which t.. great Atlantic cables were
laid. The Mediterranean is compare
lively shallow. A drying up of GGO feet
would leave three different seas, and
Africa would be Joined with Italy. The
British Channel is more like pond,
which accounts for it's choppy waves.

A Contractors Ghost Story.

81 never go much on ghost stories,"
began Contractor Van Duke, at the.
Clinton House, the other evening. The
old gentleman had been listening with
more or less attention to o series of tales
being told by the guests of the hotel.
"You don't believe in spooks, then,"
suggested one of the gathering.
"Well, don't know" the old contrac-
tor replied. "My experience in that
direction has been somewhat remarkable.
don't suppose you will believe mo, but
the story l will tell you is true can
produce living witness to it, and will
at any lime make affidavit to its accuracy.
Two years ago / was building piece of
railroad down 10 the Eastern part of this
State. Among the people who furnished
me ties was an old trader in whom | had
little or no confidence. AS the bills for
ties came in paid them promptly and
took receipts from every man. | knew
to the tie the number used. After my con:
tract WAS completed the old trader used
me for the price of fifty ties. The case
was tried and 1 was made to pay the
money. The old man had sworn to his
bill, and little or no defense could be
made. When I paid the money warn.
ed the fellow. told him he had peJured
himself. I predicted for him an unhappy
endine. About six months ago, l was
awakened at one o'clock in the morning
by this same old trader. 1t was dark in
my room. Just as plainly as | can see
you now he was there in life. He wax
ened me by calling my name. My part
ner was in bed in the same room just
few feet from me. called him and told
him of the visitors presence. He said
ne could not see him and laughed at me.
BE told me that was dreaming and sug.
gested that had better so to sleep.
While we were talking the old trader
called me by name. He said he had
been mistaken about the ties, and offered
10 return me the money. The vision
then vanished. My partner talked with
me of the matter before we went to sleep
again. The next morning he told the
story on me rs joke, but while we were
mt breakfast the news reached US of the
old traders death. he had died within
len minutes of the time Of bis visit to
me. have no idea how many more
calls of the same character he had to
make, but am satisfied his visit to ME
was the last one. That story is true rs
holy writ" the old man concluded: A
distressing silence followed its telling
and the party broke up before all recov'
cred.

Extraordinary Medical SIKH.

One stormy night, when the roadsw
well nigh impossible, son of Erin cal
into doctors cfice and desired the d
penser of physic to 60 to see q friend vi
was '.jist a.dyin'." He would not ia
no for an answer so putting the sadd
bags upon his horse, the physician start
out upon his journey. As soon as he sd
the sick man he knew it was nearly owl
with him, and remarked to the courier.
"Peter, you told the truth: 4: your friend
is just at the point of DEATH"
"Can't ye do ainytheeng for heem q
replied Peter. 4.
s'No; it is too late."
"But, docthor, aint ye goin' to give
heem anything at all at all?" FssA
"It will douo good"
"But, docthor, ye have come so far, j
would b. too bad to 60 back without
doin' anything" -
For the peace Of Peters mind, the
doctor now took small quantity of sugar
from phial, and placed it upon the dy'
ing mans tongue just as he was drawing
his last breath.
Peter, seeing his friends head drop
back, looked up to the doctor with Zig
eyes, and said, half in whisper, eOb,
docthor, an didn' ye do it quick p-Har.

What OH SO.Ccnt Horse Did.

An 50 cent horse in this County has
cultivated 90 acres of land thus fsc this
season. Last winter negro came to B.
B. Martins for bushel of com, bring.
ing tho poorest and most pitiable speci-
men of horsehesh ever seen. Cornelius,
q son of Mr.. Martin, gave the starved
animal a feed Of corn aud fodder, and
getting hissy,npathies aroused, he begged
his father to let him buy the horse. He
;q,t his consent and overlook the owner
litter he was on his way home, and
offered him so cents for the old frame,
which was gladly accepted by tho negro.
Cornelius began TO feed the animal judi.
ciously and he was soon ready for the
plow and has cultivated % acres of land
and is quito lively.-Carohaa Spartan.

The Acquittal of Ferguson,

John @. Ferguson, on his fourth trial,
was acquitted Of all legal blame for the
killing of Arthur NJ. Benedict. The
readers of the Press and Banner are
familiar with all the facts of the homi-
eide, and any rehearsal of them here
would be superAuous. Every man in
Abbeville County who has intelligence
enough to read a newspaper, has, it is
presumed, made up his mind as to whether
it was crime to 60 to the store on De-
cember "a, 1884, and shoot the Jew while
he was quietly pursuing his daily work.
But whatever opinions individuals may
hold as to the justi6ableness or unjusti-
fiableness of the act, and whatever the
public may think of the jury for the
verdict, Ferguson has been legally vindi-
Gated. Through the solemn forms of
law, he has been declared innocent of
any offence whatever. The jury have
declared that it was no harm at all to
"kill the damned Jew"
The theory of our system of govern
ment is, that juries not only reflect the
sentiment of the country, but that they
also, without fear, favor or Affection" !"
award exact justice in accordance with
the law and the evidence, bat we think
that verdict did not reflect the sentiment
of the intelligent and respectable public
of Abbeville County, and we believe the
verdict was not in accordance with the
law and the evidence.
1t seems to us that there is something
wrong in our jury system. While it is no
trouble to punish, even to cruel extent,
for Offences against property, yet the
law is seldom enforced for the protection
of the life and limb of the citizen. The
Court at every sitting, proves that proper
-ty is jealousy guarded, but the records of
the Court prove that juries are drawn
which refuse to convict for offenses against
the person-no matter how aggravated.
Is a peck of corn in neglected field Of
more consideration than the life of
human being2 Is the price of a pig more
sacred in the eyes of the law than the
life of q citizen? With this state of
affairs how long will it be before we will
be compelled to resort to lynch law7
If the present jury system, by which
all offenders against the person escape
punishment is continued, we must organ
ize for that protection which the law
