REGISTER, 22nd.

TO all interested in the early compile
ticn of the Columbia, NcwDerry and
Laurcns Railroad, and hatincludes
about every one, it will be gratifying to
learn that yesterday County Treasurer
Derrick Of Lexington paid the coupons

in aid of the road. These townships
were Broad River, Saluda and the Fork,
and the total amount Of the bonds on
which the interest coupons was paid
was $4,000.
The officers of the road have also re-
ceived information from the Treasurer
of Newberry County that the coupons
of Township No. 8 would be duly met
July 1, proNimo.
1t is expected that Mr.. Adams, the
contractor who is to do the work of
grading the line from this end of the
new bridge to the site of the company's
freight depot. at the corner of Lady and
Pulaski streets, will commence opera
tions this very week, ard after begun
the Ws=ss Vii be pushed to prompt conf

York, Mum, of Chicago, and Lyman
and Perkins, of Boston" some ofwhich
names the Sun does not recognize,
while it is impressed by the absence
from the list Of the names Of the
Goclets, the Rhinclandcrs, the Stuy-
vestants, the Standard Oil baronS,
Moses Taylor, :'and a host Of others
more or less entitled to benamed among
the great millionaires." but Of whom NJ :.
de Varigny has evidently never heard.
Whatever else may be thought of the
French authors list, and of the Suns
list, named and suggested, one signiti-
cant fact is brought out by comparing
them with each other. With all the
power at their command for doing good,
the names of but one or two men who
are mentioned in the whole category are
associated in the public mind with any
beneficient work or deed. Many Of
them, it seems, are not known outside
of the community in which they spend
their time and money. TO the rest OF
the world they are as much cyphers as
their own servant or the beggars at
their door. He must have a small soul
indeed who can possess so vast means
for achieving honor and accomplishing
worthy aims, and yet fail so completely
to make use Of his opportunities as to
escape even the poor distinction Of
seeing his name on the roll of "million-
aires"

Committee of the Whole.
Youths Companion.

After the general debate had ended
on the tariff bill, Il proposition WAS
made, by the member ofthe H0uS" of
Representative WHO had charge Of the
Republican leaders, to dispense with
the consideration Of the bill sin the
committee Of the whole"
Perhaps some OF the readers Of the
Companion do not know what is meant
by this phrase, or ifthey do know, they
NAV not be aware what is the object of
"going into committee rs it is called,
on bill. The committee of the whole
is exactly what the term suggests. Its
membership is the esame as that ofthe as
sembly. The British House Of Commons
calls the committee 4 committee of the
whole House, In the United States
House of Representatives it is usually
termed "a committee of the whole on the
State of the Union" The Senate COIL
siders bills ''as in the committee of the
Wh0le,' but It's system Is signify dli-
ferent from that of the other House Of
Congress.
When the House Of Representatives
adopts a motion to so into committee
of the whole, the Speaker leaves the
chair, which is taken by some member
designated by the Speaker. y new set
of rules comes into operation, much
simpler than those of the House itself.
Some of the changes should be men
toned. There is no calling Of the roll.
All divisions are taken by rising or by
passing between tellers.
Again, there is entire liberty to offer
committee on every bill, as the Senate
does, many crude and unworkable sec
tions would be made more intelligible
and practical.

DICKENS on CLEVELAND.
"The Son Of This Father" Says he viii S7re-

From the Philadelphia Times. |

From the Philadelphia Times.l
New YORK, June 15.-Charles Dick
ems left for England on the Servia
to-day. Before starting he said: 81
have made special study of the
political situation, which is now at
tracting the attention of thinking men
of both continents. It has been said by
Americans that Englishmen usually
overlook the political features Of Ameri-
can life. In my mind there is no doubt
that Mr.. Cleveland will be reelected.
And he ought to be elected: because he
is the best, most honest and honorable
President you have had since that
grand man, Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Cleve-
land has conducted his administration
firmly, honestly and has shown himself
an enemy to jobbery.
"What can the Republican army do?
1t is in the position of an army on the
defensive, while the Democrats are on
the attack, and their nominees record
enables them to be in such position
which in warfare is, you know, the
most advantageous. Mr.. Blaine is the
worst man the Republicans can put for
ward. He has but one cry for his fol-
lowers to rally to: "Put up big wall
of protection, so that these awful En-
glishmen can't climb over it and gobble
up American labor"

The First Persian Railway.

4 correspondent describes the extra
ordinary sensations caused among the
native Persians by the construction of
4 railroad between the postal stations of
Mahmoudabad, on the Caspian coast,
and Amol, about twenty-five miles in
the interior. Some five miles of rails
have already been laid, and along these
locomotives are now at work, in order
to hasten the extension of the line. The
engines are objects Of unceasing Won
der and Of absorbing interest to the
natives. Scarcely the slightest concep-
ton of the power of the kissing mon
ster, even after a months observation,
appears as yet to have dawned upon the
crude intelligence Of the inhabitants.
AS the locomotive approaches, the
crowd Of astonished natives retires for
safety to a distance, and there follows a
screaming chorus of eXclamations.
There are upward Of 1000 men engaged
in the construction of their pioneer
Persian railway. The majority Of
them are Italians, the remainder con-
sisting Of nomads and nondescripts,
who were previously engaged on the
Baku section of the transcaspian line.
The Mahmoudabad and Amol Railroad
is being constructed entirely for COM
mercial purposes. Difficulties, delays
and considerable losses have been eX-
perienced in the landing Of material at
the port, where the water is shallow,
and the canoes lashed together to form
lighters have frequently collapsed.
Steamers of light draught cannot ap-
proach within three miles of the shore.
Despite all this, however, the con-
struction of the line is making fairly
good progress. 1t remains to be seen
whether the success of the enterprise
will give the necessary impetus to the
construction of more important railway
lines in Persia.

The Southern Brethren at Chicago.
from the Chicago News.

The wags have great fun mimicking
the typical southern republicans. Those
not yet captured by Alger are reported
as going the rounds of the delegations
in pairs and talking like this:
"Nlah names Cunnel Blower, sab,
of Joejah, sab, how dye? Ahm right
glad ter see yer. This yere's nah
altahnate, sab, Cap'n Smart, sab.
We're just looking around. Don't mind

This is said in each headquarters as
long as the colonel and captain can
keep their feet.

THE MORMoNs GOING TO MEXICo.
They buy a Big Estate in Northwest Chi
huahua.
GSt. Louis Globe-Demo crat.

ELPAso, June ia few days ago
Solon Humphreys, Judge J. B. Cros-
by, and the other owners of the great
Coralitos Hacienda, which embraces a
large portion of northwestern Chihua-
hua, and is among the largest in Mexi-
co, sold a portion of the estate to An
drew J. Stewart and George NJ. Brown,
both of Salt Lake City.
The tract thus sold embraces nearly
100000 acres of the agricultural and
grazing land, and has railroad line
projected. It now transpires that the
sale is to parties acting in behah of the
Church Of the Latter-Day Saints, and
that this purchase is only the first Of a
series which will be made in various
parts of Mexico, but chiefly in the
northern states of that republic. An
extensive emigration from Utah into
Mexico is evidently contemplated by
the Mormons. Some two years ago an
experimental colony was sent out to
the vicinity of the tract just purchased,
and it proved complete success in
every respect. Their farming, garden
ing, fruit-growing, and cattle-raising
prospered in their settlements along the
Casa Grande River in the most surpris-
inr manner
They have built schools, churches,
and store-houses, and have managed to
get on a footing of friendly sympathy
with their Mexican neighbors. They
appear to have given up the practice Of
polygamy, to all outward appearance
at least, and con port themselves as
model citizens, although it is very ap-
parent that they yield 4 blind and
implicit obedience TO their elders, bisll-
ops, and other spiritual superlors.
Recently all accessions to their number
have come from some Mormon settle
ment in Arizona. The purchase money
of the tract recently bought amounts to
$780, 900.

AN ANCIENT ENGINEER.
"reminiscences of Mr.. II. G. Raworth-Rail-
ways as they Used to Be.
News and Courier.

There is only one oldest railroad en-
gineer in the world and Charleston has
him. He is Mr.. H.. G.. Raworth, of
Aiken, who is residing with his son-in-
law, Mr.. H. G. Walker, and of whom
some brief mention was made yester-
day in the News and Courier.
Mr.. Raworth is the brother of Mr..
E. F. Raworth, who gave to one
of the finest engines on the South
Carolina Railway and who was former
ly superintendent Of the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad.
Mr.. H. G.. Raworth will be - years of
age in December next. He is still hale
and hearty, and only three years ago
was obliged to retire from the service of
the South Carolina Railway by reason
of impaired eyesight. He began life on
the railway in 1929 as an apprentice in
the "shops' in Charleston. He is,
therefore, reminiscence of the paleo-
zoic age of railways. He was there
when the 'Stowbridge Lion came
over from England, and the "Best
Friend with the wooden spokes to the
driving-wheel, and the up and down
sugar-loaf boiler. The engine then had
no cowcatcher. There was no engine
then that could keep up with much less
catch COW or a calf on a mile stretch
up or down grade.
Mr.. Raworth took charge ofan engine
in 1854, and until comparatively re-
cent date has been on the road con-
tinuouSly. He recalled with much
pleasure the circumstance that he
''pulled' John c. Calhoun to a big
Notification meeting in Charleston,
and that the great statesman stopped to
refresh himself at Woodstock. a pic
turesque old ruin about fifteen miles
from Charleston, the greater part Of its
picturesqueness having been caused by
the earthquake. 1t usually took about
ten hours to make the trip to Branch
Vile during that period, and sometimes
the train, when it left Charleston, would
not be heard from again for week.
They did not have any second Sec
tions, excursion trains, green signals
and all that sort of thing when they
were learning the alphabet of steam
locomction. The trestles were built on
stills, and when the engine got off the
track all hands got out and lifted it up
tenderly and replaced it. The second
section never went out until the first
section came back, because if it had not
come back there could not have been
any second section. When there was
an accident, say at Georges Station, on
Monday the train had got back to town
on Wednesday with the news and
another train hand went up to help
him on Especial" horse, or perhaps on
an "extra" hand car, if they had any.
There was usually long rest at Branch
Vile, waiting on stage coaches from all
parts of the then civilized world, and in
the meanwhile they all, passengers,
conductors, train dispatchers, telegraph
operators, superintendent, general
managers and directors, used to play
kenOat "Our House, which cost some-
thing less than a million dollars.
Mr.. Raworth is in the best Of health
and is not atall aware ofthe distinction
in the railway world.

Act of John Quincy Adams.

The following has lesson not only
for politicians but for others. 1t shows
Mr.. Adams to have been possessed of
very pure and noble principles, and
strength, and courage to carry them
out, for the purest and most exalted
principles are corrupted by lack O.
courage to assert or force to execute
them
a. Incident which occurred during
the administration of the second Ad-
ans, heretofore, We believe, unpub-
lished, illustrates the difference be-
tween the general principles which un-
derlay the politics of that day, and
those which control our own.
Mr.. Adams made out list of men
whom he had chosen to examine into
the condition of the United States
Bank, and submitted it for approval to
his Cabinet.
The appointment Of these men would
bring each of them prominently into
public notice and stamp them with
official approval as possessing excep-
tionable ability and incorruptible hon
or.
Mr.. Clay, glancing over the list, OBJ
jected to one name upon it.
"Mr. Adams" said he, "that man I
know to be one Of your bitterest enc
mics. He has been your opponent
throughout the whole of your political
career. He deserves no preferment at
your hands" ~.
Mr.. Adams color rose. He took the
list, and looked at it in silence; then,
in his usual grave, measured tones, he
said:
II am sorry to hear that, Sor I am
assured that he is an able financier, and
a man of the sternest integrity. So he
does not like me, eh? Well, Mr.. Clay,
as it is the interests of the country, and
..ct mine, which we must consider in
this case, we will let his name stay"
Mr.. Clay nodded approval. THE
President" he said chad risen to an
admirable height fself negation. But
I should not have climbed there, I
fear"

Electrical Storms Ind Nervousness.

4 physician who has taken much in
terest in the effects of electrical storms
upon sensitive persons writes to the
Rochester Democrat:
"Your article in to-day's issue is Of
great interest to me, as I had stated yes
terday to my friends that there was GER
tainly a good deal of disturbance in our
atmosphere and undoubtedly another
solar disturbance was in full blast, for I
have never been more depressed in
energy, and my nervous system was
slow to respond to any stimulous. In
somnia, from which I have suffered ut
times, was in full sway last night, and
after a restless night, was fully awake
at 4.30 o'clock this morning. These at
tacks OF insomnia 1 have watched for
the last year or more, and they inva-
riably occur wf,eI1-the solar activity is
at its height. An increased arterial ten
sion is perceptible; and I have some-
times been obliged to resort to proper
remedies to procure the needed rest |
felt in want of, and to prescribe the
same to others of a nervous habit. There
are people so constituted that in health
they do not feel these deprcssions, but
if closely watched, more or less marked
symptoms will be observed, especially
in those of nervous temperament
In this connection, it will be rcmem-
bered that the physicians attending
General Sheridan attributed :. recent
relapse to atmospheric causes. This re-
lapse occurred during the severe electri-
cal storms on the south Atlantic coast.
The interest in this subject is likely to
increase. 1t would certainly be of ad-
vantage for physicians to know whether
electrical tension in the atmosphere or
the progress of ofdiscase is the immediate
cause Of Il patients depression. Those
weakened by disease are susceptible TO
electrical changes. If these changes
are sufficient to disturb the magnetic
needle, the human organism must also

After the Battle.

TT. +. Galwey in Chicago Herald.]
Perhaps the most shocking sight OF
the battlefield the day after the battle
was the evidence of the rascality which
the helpless dead afforded. The writer
has seen many battles-how many it
would be hard to say-yet he never
saw one dead body on the field the day
after the battle that all its pockets were
not turned inside out. There were some
soldiers, especially when late in the
war the number Of substitutes had
become large, who were degraded
enough to rifle the dead, but most OF
the vjllainous work was done by the
camp followers, the horde Of hired
teamsters and other civilian employees
and attaches ofthe army.

The Patriarch of the Piedmont.

SpARTANBURG, June 2l.-The oldest
man now living in the Piedmont sec
ton is "Uncle Johnnie Fielder" Of
Laurens County, but there is no record
of the date of his birth. He fixed it in
the year 1850, but his children make it
1882. According to his own belief he
is now in his l0Sth year, while his
children believe that he is JOG years old.
He was fully grown and married when
the war of 1872 broke out, and he vol
unteered and went with his regiment
to Charleston. That was seventy-siX
years ago. The older people who have

A Change in the Columbia Female college,
ISpecial to Charleston World !

COLUMBIA June 20-A change in
the faculty of the Columbia Female
College will be of interest to The
Worlds readers. An election is held
annually at the end of each session.
When the election came up this year
Prof. L. B. Haynes was requested by
President Darby to resign. The request
was not acceded to- and Professor
Haynes was dismissed, and Colonel
John G. Clinkscales was elected as
resident professor in charge. This
action was brought by the prominent
part taken by Mr.. Haynes in reference
to the formation of a third party, his
general support and stand Oh the EIoli-
ness Association matters, and his
advocacy of woman's suffrage. Miss
Mary Yeagin, of Laurens, has resigned
as teacher of English literature.
