No Dreams in Perfect Sleep.

A theory is that in perfect sleep there
is little Or no dreaming. This issupport-
ed by various considerations. The natural
presumption is that the object of sleep
is to give rest, and that perfect sleep
would imply the cessation of brain
action; and tits found that "the more
continuous and uninterrupted is our
dreaming the less refreshing is our sleep !"
Recent experiments appear to confirm
this view. The effects Of stimuli, whether
of sound, touch, smell, sight or hearing
in modifying the dreams without awaking
the sleeper-or in awakening him-all
point in the same direction; and though
there is always some aense of time when
awakening, which proves that the mind
has to some extent been occupied, in the
soundest sleep, it is 80 slight as to seem
as if the person had just lain down,
though many hours may have passed.
Whereas, just in proportion as the
dreams are remembered, or as the fact Of
dreaming can be shown by any method,
is the sense Of time the longer. l do not
speak of the heavy, dull sleep which
without apparent dreams, results from
plethora, or sometimes accompanies an
overloaded stomach, or is the result of
overexhaustion, or occasionally super
venes after protracted vigils, but of the
very sound sleep enjoyed by the working
clases when in health, or by vigorous
children.-Rev. j. III. Buckley.

Horrible Death.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Aug. 7.-While two
boys-Jackson Moore and John Harvey
aged about II years, were hunting
squirrels across the river in Arkansas to-
day they discovered large rattlesuake
coiled upon rock apparently asleep.
Moore said he would capture the snake
alive. BE crept up to the deadly rattler
and by quick movement caught it
firmly below the head and heldit at
arms length in triumph. Suddenly the
snake coiled itself around the boys arm.
He became frightened and attempted to
to throw it off when the reptile struck
him in the neck. Its fanges became
fastened in the flesh. The boy screamed
with horror, and, grasping the snake with
both hands, tore it loose and flung it to
the ground. He then fell in swoon,
while his terrified friend fed for assist.
auce. The nearest house was two miles
distant, and when help arrived the poor
lad was past help, and died in agony.
The snake was found coiled close by,
and when killed measured four feet nine
inches and had eighteen rattles.

James a. Hoyt, in his touching and beau.
tiful memorial-"Afection's Tribute to
J. Nardin Brown" said: "It was charac.

Again, he said: "He fell at my side at

It may be opportune here to say, that
it is due to the influence of Maj. ]. ii.
Whitner that the Palmetto Rifles were
organized, and it was the first Company
that enlisted for the war from this
County. It was color.bearer to the old
Fourth Regiment S. G. Volunteers, COM
manded by Col. Ball Sloan, which was
the first Regiment sent for the defence of
the coast. The Palmetto Rifles we're
composed of noble, patriotic, high souled
young men, who proved to be prodigies
of valor on the battlefield. Whether
right or wrong in the cause they
espoused, they were earnest, honest
patriots, who thought their first duty was
to their State, and that it was right to
take up arms under her constitutional
edicts, to repel or suppress insurrection.
They were splendidly drilled by Maj.
Whitner, aud most elegantly equipped.
Though they we're sad at parting with
home and friends, they were sanguine as
to the final success of our cause. Biv.
ouac and camp were to them magic
words, and war only fanciful dream,
full of thrilling expectation. But, alas !
when they we're called upon to endure
every hardship, and sutfsr every priva-
ton in defence of their homes and fire.
sides, they fought to the last with the
true spirit and bravery that have ever
characterized our Carolinian boys.
In this, the last quarter of the nine
teenth century, the South is rapidly pro.
crossing, and developing, as it we're, into
a new condition of things, but amid
these constant changes and the many
problems that agitate the present, we
should not forget the past. To preserve
authentic records Of their past should be
the glory of any people. A great deal
of useful information relating to the
local history of Anderson might be col
lected, which is in danger of being lost.
The compiler Of such material would
deserve the thanks of our whole people,
for it would be the result of untiriug and
patient labor.

The Woman Candidate.

Mrs. Belya A. Lockwood, the candi.
date of the equal rights party for Presi.
dent, recently said to Herald reporter:
NEARLY every one knows something
about Mr.. Cleveland. He has had four
years Of administration, which have been
very successful.
"Mr. Harrison does not appear able to
stand the fatigue of handshaking, and !
don't know he'll pan ont in that respect.
He has already had one attack of nervous.
ness, and as the newspapers facetiously
call him, he is the son ofhis grandfather
'But I think all the candidates are
most estimable and honest men. Mr..
Fisk has been chosen by the religious
and teetotal party, and represents their
views, I have do doubt.
"Of course, am too modest 10 say
anything about myself. I cannot now
say what work we will accomplish, but
ne are sanguine of doing q great deal.
We expect to succeed in getting an
electoral ticket in every State and an
elector-man or womau-in every Con.
gressional district in every State, and ne
expect also to have electoral tickets
printed and distributed to the remotest
corners of every State. And we further
expect men as well as women to vote for
us-men of the South as we'll IS men of
the North. We know that the civiliza.
ton of the past has been civilization OF
force, and gradually we are coming out
of that into civilization of the mental
and moral faculties in which brain, not
Drawn, will be the ruling force; and ne
believe that the women Of the country,
ifthey we're all permitted to vote to-day,
could hardly make it worse. We don't
expect any wonderful revolution if the
women of the country are permitted to
vote, as we believe they will be in the
near future, or any greater difference in
our habits and customs than there was
when the negro was permitted to vote.
We suppose the women will still wash
dishes and mind the babies, and that
men will plow and gather in gain. But
We don't expect that the men are going
to hold all the Offices in the future or
that they will get all the soft places and
control all the money. We believe that
the world was not made for man alone,
neither VAS made for woman alone. We
believe that God created them as q
supplement to each other, and that human
government will never arrive at any
state of perfection until the councils OF
men and women are equally mingled,
and the woman has as many rights and
privileges as the man."

THE RAILROAD TAX CASES.

The dispatches this morning announce
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided the railroad tax cases,
involving the contested taxes of 1884,
1885 and 1886. The decision, except on
one point, does not cover any important
ground not traversed by the decision of
two years ago. The question of the in
vasion of the Fourteenth Amendment was
not taken up by the Court in the present
decision, for the very good reason that it
was disposed of in the former decision, the
Court having settled eonclusiyely the doc
trine that corporation is person within
the meaning of the amendment. The new
point now decided-in the main case,
four cases being before the Court-reIates
soley to the taxation of franchises. The
former decision is practically affirmed, and
it is added that the State Board of Equal
ization cannot include in its assessment
property assessable by, and actually as
sessed by counties and that the franchises
granted to railroads by the Federal Gov
eminent are not taxable by the States 1t
is singular fact that when Colonel Hay
mond presented the case before the United
States Circuit Court he dwelt upon this
latter as the leading point, but the Court
ignored it, and now the Supreme Court
adopts it as the pivotal point on which the
case is made to turn. The decision clears
the way to the proper assessment of rail-
road property, disposes forever of great
deal Of contentious matter, and in sustain
ing the positions assumed by the railroads
efectually disposes of subjects that have
been availed of for political capital to the
injury of material interests of the people
