WEARY WATCHERS.

How the People of Charleston Spent tho
Nights Following the Recent Earth
quake.
Lying awake under the broad canopy
of Heaven, watching through the end
less hours of night, while helpless wom-
en- and children are sleeping around,
what horrors present themselves to the
imagination. The reverberating EARTH
quake, whose mysterious and resistless
force you feel passing beneath you like
a mighty wave of the ocean, is felt a
thousand times in imagination to once
in reality. To it are added the horrors
of yawning chasm and enguliing wave,
with the wild efforts to escape for your
self and loved ones, whom you see hold
ing for dear life to tree or twig, or flee
ing to some strong building that the wa
'ters can not overcome. The sky seems
of q pinkish tinge and the stars be-
dimmed by ncbulous haze. The air is
hot and sitting. What mean these por-
tentsp Shall the city be buried beneath
showers of gravel like those that have
already fallen? Will part of the main
land be broken off and slip into the seap
Wearied by wild imaginings such as
these, exhausted nature is about to SUR
render to conquering sleep, when sud-
denly you are conscious of an approach
ing shock, the buildings of the city
quiver like the leaves of the forest, the
great wave of mysterious force passes
under you with mere or less jar accord
ing to the severity of the shock, and re-
cedcs in the distance, leaving you ngain
prey to the horrors of imagination.
If the shock is of the second or third
rate of force rs compared with the great
shock, women and children jumped
from their extemporizcd beds e,n the
grecnsward and gathered around with
pale faces and trembling limbs, while
their beseeching looks stir your deepest
sympathies-words of soothing and en-
couragement are all you have to give.
You are MS helpless as they, but their
trusting you makes your words of
value. While you soothe and cheer
them rs best you may, You are in ward
ly cursing the coward men, who have
also jumped from their places Of re-
pose, and are hurricdly putting on their
coats and shoes, rs if they would flee
they know not whether. In five Or ten
minutes their excitement is over, first
one and then another returns to his or
her couch and finally silence settles on
the scene, save when the shout of some
negro exhorter on the next square is
raised to an unusual pitch and breaks
the stiffness of the night.
So wears on the weary night till the
dawn begins to illuminate the east, and
the cheerful crow of the cock is herrd
reechoed from roost to roost. Slowly
appears the welcome sun, and then tn,
camp is broken, people thank God tha
their lives arc still spared, and wens
their way to their respective homes, Il
take up the thread of daily cares AM
troubles, hat ready Mt IL moment
notice to flee to the open ground. =

Buying Stock in the Fall.

There is a time when the farmers may
avail themselves of opportunities in pur-
chasing that should not be allowed to
pass by. AS the fall is the beginning OF
winter, it is time when there is u sur
plus, and many breeders are desirous OF
selling. If they can not sell, and are
compelled to carry their stock over the
winter, they will add such cost to the
price and an addit onal sum rs we'll. for,
having gotten over the difficulty, they
will not then be rs anxious to sell.
Every day large cattle sales are adver-
tiscd to take place, and the prices OBJ
tanned are often very low compared with
the quality Of the stock, which places
the animals within the reach of all.
Hence, fall is the time to buy, and
farmers should not allow the opportuni-
ty to pass without so doing.-tarm,

See and ,h. Dumb Swear.
Every Watering place has character
of it's own, and those who have given
little thought to this are surprised at the
endless variety in the American resorts.
But what is even more surprising is the
influence that these places have upon
the people that frequent them, who ap-
pear to change their characters with
their surroundings. One woman in her
season plays many parts, dashing in one
place, reserved in another, now gay and
active, now listless and sentimental, not
at all the same woman ut Newport that
she is in the Adirondack camps, one
thing at Bar Harbor and quite another
int Saratoga or at Richtield. Different
tastes, to be sure, are suited at different
resorts, but fashion sends Il steady pro-
cession of the same people on the round
of all.
The charm of Richfield Springs is in
The character of the landscape 1t is n
limestone region of gentle slopes and
fine lines: and although it is elevated,
the general character is refined rather
than bold, the fertile valleys in pleasing
irregularity falling away from rounded
wooded hills in manner to produce
the impression of peace and repose.
The lay of the land is such that an
elevation of few hundred feet gives n
most extensive prospect, view of
meadows and upland pastures, OF lakes
and ponds, of forests hanging in dark
masses on the limestone SUBMITS, of
fields of wheat and hops, and OF distant
mountain ranges. 1t is scenery that one
grows to love, and that responds to
ones every mood in variety and beauty.
In whole summer tho pedestrian Will
not exhaust tho inspiring views, and
the drives through the gracious land,

knows them better. The habitues of the
place, year after year, are at q loss for
words to convey their peaceful satisfac-
ton.
In this smiling country lies the pretty
village of Richtield, the rural character
of which is not entirely lost by reason
of the hotels, cottages and boarding
houses which line the broad principal
street. The centre OF the town is tho

SOME MOONS.


.Just between the dark and daylighs.
When the sleepy time Is come,
And the angels hang tho stnr humps
In the windows OF tlielr homci
Babies sit and witch the new moon
Rocking paiIy down the sky,
Like n pretty golden milk bowl, -
Or n cradle swinging high:
Then with tlimpied arms uplifted,
And with shining cnger eyes,
They will reach far out To- grasp It,
Pull II boldly from the skies.
Moons will wane and babes grow older,
Age and sorrow come too soon,
D,it fresh hope, md luck, returning,
Shine with every baby moon.
In the melancholy dlipness
or the half moons g!iastly light,
Poets walk abroad and ponder,
Lst'ning to the voice of night.
Do they dream OF future glory?
OF n name to Inst for aye?
Do they plun a wondrous poem
To be wrtten out some day?
No one knows. but late and weary
Poets wander thro' tho night
While tho dim and drcary half moon
- Sheds on them pnle sad light.
Poets songs mny die unuttered,
Earth may mover hear their strain,
But above, whore thoughts are treasured
They shall find their songs again.
Whom the great round moon Is bcaming
With II tender golden light,
Lovers seeking deep cool shadows
Walk together thro' the night.
Just the old, old story over,
For n thousand times or more,
And as sweet to- dny-to morrow
As 1t ever was OF yore.
Out of shadow into moonlight,
Dreaming OF tho lie before you,
Wander on so happy lovers,
Mny the great moon long shine DER you
Happy careless days OF childhood
Cannot stay;
Golden visions OF the poet
puss away.
Love will rule the world for ever
And II day.

Treatment of Hog Cholera.

State Veterinarian Atkins. of Wisconsin,
has prepared circular on the treatment OF
hog cholera, which he will have printed and
mailed to the Health Officers throughout the
State. The circular says, in brief: ''If the
disease has prevailed in your locality, the
urgent necessity is a thorough cleaning and
careful disinfection. After disposing of all
old straw piles, manure heaps, and similar
substances, either by blowing under, burning,
or storing in secluded place, the pens should
be thoroughly cleaned by washing with solu-
ton of carbolic acid in the proportion of
five pounds to a barrel Of water, or copperas,
twenty flour pounds to the same quantity.
After disnfection the doors and windows
should be thrown open, and light and air
freely admitted. So great is the vitality of
the virus that in some instances it will be ae-
visable to abandon the keeping of hogs for n
season. All communication between healthy
and diseased herds should be suspended.
Visiting infected premises out of curiosity or
for gaining information has in several cases
cost our farmers dearly, for unfortunately they
not only carried home some knowledge of the
symptoms of the disease, but about their
clothes and on their soiled shoes lurked the
germs. The carcasses of diseased hogs should
be buried deeply, and not sold remembering.

Election of Bishop of the Diocese
of EaSton.

The eighteenth annual convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese
of Easton, comprising the Eastern Shore
counties of Maryland, assembled in Trinity
Church, Elkton, Wednesday morning, with a
full attendance. After some routine business
an election for Bishop was proceeded with,
and resulted on the second ballot in the cleo

canon law in the Virginia Theological Semi

in Clarke county, Va, in 1910. He is a
great grandson of Governor Nelson, of revo-
lutionary fame. His father was Thomas Mel
son, planter. DIR. Nelson was educated at
the Episcopal High School, near Alexandria,
Va, and at the University of Virginia. He
entered the University in 1858, and remained
there until the outbreak of the civil war.
Enlisting as a private, he served in the cav

teemed true man. After the war he engaged
in teaching in Albemarle county, Va. and in
the private study of theology. He entered the

Decoration Day.

Memorial services in honor of General
Grant were held Sunday night in the Hanson
Place Methodist Episcopal Church, Brook
lyn. The church was decorated with flowers
and flags. Among those attending were Gen.
Logan, F. D. Grant and wife. In the au-
dience were three ex-Confederate officers in
gray uniforms.
About 500 ex- Confederate and Union SOL
diers met in Charleston, West Virginia, on
Saturday. After addresses by ex-Congress-
man Vance, of Ohio, for the Union soldiers,
and Captain John S. Swami, for the Confed-
crates, the procession formed and marched
to the cemetery, where, with several wagons
loaded with flowers, they proceeded to decor
ate the graves of the Blue and the Gray.
The graves of the Union dead at Chicago,
were decorated on Saturday. The marching
column, composed of Posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic, was the largest ever
seen on the streets of Chicago on any similar
occasion. Ransom Post, of St. Louis, was in
line, having come as the especial guests of
the Posts of that city. Accompanying Ran
som Post was General William I. Sherman,
who marched in the ranks, on the right of
the leading four. He was quickly recognized
by the large waiting crowds on the streets,
and was wildly cheered. General Alfred
Terry was also one of the marchers, and was
cheered along the route. Governor Oglesby,
accompanied by several other gentlemen, &C.
cupied the only carriage in the column. The
veterans in line numbered four thousand.
The column proceeded to Rose Hill Gene
terry, where the chief ceremonies of the day
occurred. In the afternoon the veterans pa
raded a second time, accompanied by the
Police and State military commands.
