Charleston, s. O. April 17.-Dar-
wins missing link has been dis
covered in Laurens county. The
fact that q boy now over twelve
years of age still wears dresses
has long excited the curiosity of
Dorroh community, in that county.
His parents explained this by say
ing that he was deformed and
could not wear ordinary trousers.
The boy runs and jumps as well
as other children and shows no
signs of deformity. The mystery
has been solved by a physician
who recently attended him while
he had fever. He says that the
boys back bone Is prolonged into
a tail about eight inches in length,
and that it is covered with thick
growth of hair. The tail wags just
like dogs His parents have at
tempted to make the boy wear
trousers, but whenever the caudal
appendage is bent to one side it
pains him. The boy is active and
in perfect health.

Government by Snap of the Finger.

A few days ago a cigar.maker
walked into the office of Mr.. VIII.
liam Strange, Of Paterson, N. j.,
who employs 1000 persons in his
large silk mills, and demanded that
he sign an order which would rev.
olutionize the dyeing shop. Mr..
Strange declined to do SO, where.
upon the cigar maker at once went
out, and as he passed the dyeing
shop snapped his fingers, at which
signal oil the operatives In the
shop dropped their work and left
the premises. They subsequently
admitted that they had no griev.
ance, aud that they were indignant
at being ordered to stop work,
but they claimed that under the
laws of their labor organization
they had no option.
Mr.. Strange, who seems to have
acted coolly and fairly, told his
people that he could not do bust.
ness on that plan. If it had come
to this, that stranger and an out
slider could walk along the corri
ders of his mill and stop all the
work he had In hand by snap of
his finger, he would shut up his
mandatory and employ his capi.
tai in other ways. And he should
do this, not In passion or out OF
spite, but because he could not of.
ford to do business under such
conditions. He would not feel
justified ia assuming the responsi
bility of contracts, in making In
vestments in real estate and ma.
chlnery and the like, If his whole
business could be paralyzed at
any moment at the whim OF die
taor.
The love Of power is an instinct
with all, and 1t is not surprising
that the labor element, now that II
sees the strength to be derived
from association, should like tC
use that strength more or less
wantonly. But ignorance ant
passion will ruin any cause. La

Novel Phase Of the Striking Mania.

st. Louis, No., April 16. = The
children in three of the public
schools in this city have become
dissatisfied with the rules now
governing them, and they threat.
Gu a general strike, unless their
grievances are rlghted before
Monday next. They demand long.
er recesses and shorter hours.
At the Madison school thirty of
the scholars failed to respond at
roll call this morning, but these
are all who have actually struck.
At the Higdon school notice
signed by the "St. Louis Associa
tion,n calling upon the scholars to
strike to-day, was found posted
npon the school building this
morning, but three members OF
the association were convicted by

The following story says the st.
James Gazette, has not, we believe,
before appeared In print: A tray
eller just at the close of the Revo'
lutionary war was crossing the
Fishkill Mountains at the time
when it took about a hatful of Con-
tinental money to buy a breakfast.
He had no money, but he had a
copy Of a famous little book one
of the earliest printed books IN
America called "The New Eng.
land Primer" which contained the
shorter catechism of the Scotch
Church. 1t was a little book, but
1t had pictures with rhymes, such
as "In Adams fall we sinned allp
lie counted out a number of these
pages after eating his breakfast
and handed them to the old lady
who had served him. She didn't
know much about reading; but
she took them, looked at them
closely, spelled out a few pious
words and said: That's all right.
am so glad that Congress has at
last got some money with a little
religion in it."

Prof. Otto Lugger, sent as spec.
ial from Washington to investigate
the buffalo gnat, and with whom
an interview was published in the
Appeal some two weeks ago, has
concluded his work, and passed
through the city yesterday on his
way back to Washington. He was
seen by an Appeal man, who in.
quired If he had made any further
discoveries of interest. swell,

overflow instead of breeding the
gnats, has had a contrary effect;
and this year a great number of
their immature larvae was Destroy
ed by back water in the various
streame. All indications point to
the belief that buffalo gnats will be
exceedingly scarce for the next
three years, and the few local
swarms which will appear will not
be numerous enough to do any
damage"
The Professor claims to have
established as q fact, that the buf'
falo gnat breeds only In clear run'

Texas Jim and Other Toughs.
[Conslitution.l

During the recent troubles at
Fort Worth, Texas, one of the
most determined conservators of
the peace was the notorious Jim
Courtright.
Everybody in this country and
in Mexico, too, has heard of Texas
Jim. The man is a typical border
ruffian. He is a red-handed tough.
In Texas, in the territories, and
on the other side of the Rio
Grande, he has killed a man when.
ever his pistol cracked, and 1t has
cracked pretty often. just at
present Jim IS keeping rather
quiet. He is wanted in Mexico,
for murder, as usual, and there is
an urgent desire to have him stand
and plead in several other places.
Under the circumstances the
strikers were dumbfounded to see
Jim at the head of a squad Of citi.
zens organized in the interests of
law aud order. The situation
bristled with difficulties and bayo.
nets. On the one side stood the
desperate strikers, aud ON the
other the indignant citizens, mill.

A negro named Henry WadIing,

ton, formerly of Deer Greek, but
who has been living in Madison
county for some time past, on
Monday last killed a son of Mr.. r.
j. Goodlow, prosperous planter,
living about four miles from Flora.
The negro has not yet been arrest.
ed. 1t seems that young Goodlow
had ordered Wadlington and a
number of other negroes not to
cross a certain field. On the eve-
ming in question Mr.. Goodlow met
the negro as he was crossing it
and some words ensued, the ne

The painful news was received
in this city yesterday Of the killing,
near Crockett. Texas, on the 18th,
of young Sidney F. Swayze, for
merly of Natchez, and whose
mother, Mrs. j. F. Chesney, is o
resident of our city. Two mon
named Rattersee and Jordon are
charged with the killing and from
the accounts we have seen it was
a cold.blooded assassination, the
young man at the moment Of the
murder, being engaged in feeding
the stock ON the place where he
was employed when his sssassins
slipped up ON him and shot him
dead. There had been previous
trouble which led up to the killing.
Rattersee and Jordon have both
been arrested and there is consid.
cradle feeling against them for the
crime. Young Swayze was q ma
tive of Wilkinson county, a nephew
of the Swayze's of Adams county,
and was aged about tweDty-three
years. He was at one time en-
ployed at Mr.. l.. q. Aldrich's china
store in this city, and was very
highly esteemed by all who knew
him. He was quite q promising
young man and his untimely death
is deeply regretted. - Natchez

ciate the fact that the pistol was
dangerous when cooked, and moi
being able to let 1t down, she
handed it to the little boy, and
told him to take 1t down stairs and
get some one to uncock 1t. The
