A Forgotten Man.

Southerner, who saw much of William
Gilmore Simms in his later years, says
that Simms was sschoice in the selection
of his language, and that "if the subject
required grave thought and anything like
elaborate discussion, he delivered himself
in an oratoric style, bordering upon the
tragic. He would rise from his seat, pour
forth food Of words-strong and full OF
meaning-he would quote alternately
from history, philosophy and poetry, and
suit the action to the word and the word
to the action; not infrequently falling
into the loud declsmatory tone, and
occasionally, like Thomas Carlyle, throw
ing out a jagged sentance, such as you
would characterize as rough and uncouth,
but packed with meaning. It would be
Simms talking and no one else; he seems
to feel it to be so, and made you under.
stand the fact. Hen dealt in abstrac.
tions at the expense of his concrete In
dividuahty of intellect, opinion and self
esteem. He was, therefore, dogmatlc'
He was not unlike DR.. Sam johnson
As it was said of Pericles, his tongue was
armed with thunder. He would fulmin'
ate, whilst his style was strong, heavy
and sometimes difuse. He had an ardent
temperament and vivid imagination, 9
methodical mind and az inexhaustible
fund Of electic knowledge; and withal,
the command of his vernacular as to cor
rectness and elegance, as well as force.

A Negro VINO Can Get Five Thousand
Dollars.
GREENvnIE, s. c., May 30.-A man
named Hudson from near Augusts, Ga,
was at the stationhouse yesterday In
search of lame negro to whom the
courts of Georgia had recently granted
$40, 600 damages from railroad compa-
ny for his foot having been cut off In 8
railroad accident. The name OF the
negro, the railroad, and the place where
it occurred were withheld, but he e1-
hibited such credentials that proved be-
yond doubt That bis mission is genuine
one.
The negro had turned the claim over
to lawyers, who were to have half, if
they won. After hard fight, they were
successful. The case then went up to
supreme court, but during the time the
negro became discouraged and left the
neighborhood. Several months ago the
supreme court affirmed the decision OF
the lower court. Hudson was then en-
ployed by the lawyers to find the mis-
sing man. He traced him from Augusta
to Greenwood, s. c., from Greenwood to
Pelzer, and thence to Greenville. Here
all positive trace Of the wandering
darkey ceases, but Mr.. Hudson says he
proposes to stay in Greenvile until he
either finds his man or where he has
gone. If he can be found he will come
into possession OF S., 1000, which will be
fortune for the poor wounded negro
who is wandering from place to place
end living from hand to mouth.

A Gorgeous Swell Dinner.

The following details of dinner which
was given the other day by New York
lady may be read with interest by people
who want to know the latest thing in the
way of American extravaganza:
The dinner table was arranged about q
miniature lake, in which palms, lilies and
ferns appeared to bs growing, while
tropical trees rose from the banks amid
miniature parterres OF flowers. Small
electric lights, with vari-colored globes,
were arranged about the lake, and elec-
tricity was introduced under the water
of the improvised lake, and caused to
dance about in imitation Of vari-colored
fish. There was fountain in the centre
of the lake, and colored glass ball,
lighted by electricity, spurted up and
down Jet of crystal water. There was
no cloth on the table, and each of the
twenty courses served at the dinner was
placed before the guests on natural
palm leaf. The wall and room decora-
lonesome of which came from Florida
and South America-generally we're Of
smila1, ferns, ivy and palm, mandarin,
banana, orange, and other trees. Hang
ing among them were hundreds of very
small colored electric lights.
The decorations of each plate cost
thirty dollars, the favors sixty, and the
menus were painted to order at ten
dollars apiece. The trutfies came from
France, and the strawberries cost seven
dollars and five cents per bunch of five
berries. Roman punch was served IN
oranges hanging on the natural trees,
the pulp of the fruit having been deftly
removed, so that the guest picked the
oranges from the branches.-London
Court Journal.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1888-06-06

both these toilets are worn with large
black rounds hats of straw, with the
crown nearly covered with long stemmed
flowers and the brim capriciously bent to
suit the taste of the wearer.
Cashmere, yelling, Bengaline, India
silks and black lace are the materials for
the new toilets worn at afternoon recep-
tons and weddings this spring. Gray is
in greater favor even than last year, and
is trimmed either with ribbon of the same
shade or else there is silver galoon or old
fashioned gimp on the waist. The polo
naise and princess style, as we'll as all
straight designs, are worn by all to whom
they are becoming, especially those with
full plump figures that do not require
drapery about the hips. The English
fashion very generally prevails, of wear
ing black hat and small black wrap,
either mantle or jacket, with dresses of
any color no matter how light. The
anglomaniacs take futher pleasure in
wearing small fur capes late in late in the
season with black lace dresses.
A feature of new French dresses is an
attempt to do away with the high stand
ing collars so long in favor, leaving the
throat bare as low as the collarbone and
finishing the neck of the dress with g
turned lover knife plating of silk like
that of the dress, or else draping lace
barbe along the sides of the neck, arrang
ing it in fan-like pllited bow in back
and front. This new departure will only
be adopted by those with short, fair
and plnmp neck and throat, hence most
of the imported dresses brought over
this season when cut in this way require
little guimpe OF net or embroidery or
else kerchief like folds of India silk laid
close against the otherwise uncovered
neck.
For misses, graduates and very young
ladies are pretty dresses OF white yelling
or of China silk made with round
gathered skirt, and round plain waist
buttoned behind and cut off even across
just under the arms, to be filled .out at
the top with a guimpe of figured net or
embroidery permanently set in. The
sleeves, of mutton-leg shape, are Of the
material of the guimpe without lining.

THE CAMPAIGN DEVELOPING.
A Serious Scandal on Cleveland, and
Blaine's Private Papers Stolen.
Especial to the Baltimore SUM

Especial to the Baltimore SUM-
New YORK, May 2S.-A few loca
Democratic politicians, who pride them
selves on being anti-Cleveland men
have been holding secret conference
with some Blaine Republicans in thi
city within the past two or three day
for the purpose Of putting into effective
form q sensational statement" deroga
tory to Mr.. Cleveland, which they declare
will be made public in time to kill the
Presidents chances for denomination
1t is promised that pamphlet will bt
issued on Thursday or Friday that vii
'sstartle the country" The anti-Cleve
land men, who in almost every instance
are Hill partisans, talk gleefully about
afidavits yet to be produced which will
convince the country that Mr.. Cleveland
has violated social proprieties in the
Whit, House in such way that the
mere telling of the story will convince
the country that he is untitled to be
President. These significant insinuations
would would be as so much idle gossip
were they not encouraged by the In
dorsement of some of the most active Of
Blaine's supporters. The positive asser-
ton made by some of these men ''that
sworn statements will be laid before the
St. Louis convention" such as will
make Cleveland's candidacy an impossi-
bility, indicates that the Blaine mana
gers have brought themselves to believe
that another campaign of scandal and
vituperation will help their candidate.
The story that the nti-Cleveland people
promise to give to the public the latter
part of this week relates wholly to per
sonal matters, and it is 8 stcry that must
either be substantiated by the most in-
controvertible proofs, or it will over
whelm and disgrace forever its authors.
New YORK, May 2S.-An Augusta
(Me.) special to an evening paper says:
s.During a conversation with one of Mr..
Blaine's personal and political friends
last Saturday he gave our reporter a
piece of news which has never been
made public. Did you know, remarked
the gentleman, sthat MIR. Blaine's house
was broken into some time ago while he
and his family were absent and all his
political and business correspondence
and private papers, involving financial
operations, which were in his library,
were overhauled and portion of them
abstracted? Well, such is the fact. The
matter has always been kept a secret in
the hope that the thief might be discov-
cred, but he never has been, at least l
never heard he was. I don't think that
anybody in particular was ever suspected
of being the thief. The supposition is
that the robbery was perpetrated in the
expectation OF obtaining something
among Mr.. Blaine's private papers which
might be used to his political injury If
ever wanted. / never learned the char
acter of the papers stolen. When the
robbery was discovered the floor of the
library was found to be Uttered with
letters and papers, which had evidently
been carefully examined. Every drawer
was found to have been ransacked, and
its contents either disturbed or dumped
upon the floor"

A WONDERFUL BANK.
Which Pays Dividends Of $50 Fer Cent
Per Annum


Per Annum
The Chemical Bank OF New York city
is probably the strongest financial insti-
tuition in this country, and its prosperity
and success have been marval in busi-
ness and financial circles. A New York
letter gives the following Interesting
points in reference to this wonderful
moneyed institution:
Ten shares of Chemical Bank stock
were sold the other day on the Stock Ex-
change at So, GOO a share, without the
bi-monthly dividend of 25 per cent.
This is the highest that this stock has
yet sold for, and it has long been noted
as commanding the highest premium
of any bank stock in the world. First
National Bank stock commands 81, 600
per share, the Fifth Avenue Bank $500
Der share, the Bank of Ireland S275 and
the Bank of England $3.50.
The dividends of the Chemical Bank
have for long time been at the rate OF
5 per cent bi-monthiy, with an additional
dividend of 10 per cent some time during
the year or an even 100 per cent per
annum. The dividend declared for the
first of March and to be continued there
after is 25 per cent bi-monthly, or $50
per cent per annum. Last year the bank
paid s., 600, 900 in dividends, equal to the
amount of capital stock, and carried a
surplus of twice the capital stock. 1t Is
very seldom this valuable stock finds its
way to the market, and then only IN the
settlement of some old estate, and when
q sale takes place it attracts great atten-
ton. John B. Manning was the purchaser
at the sale.
In1S43 or 1914 David Wolfe, the father
of Catherine Wolfe, bought POO shares OF
Chemical Bank stock at par, or for $40,
900. To-day, that same stock, at the
price commanded, would be worth S72O,
600, and has paid more than $l,00O,OOO
in dividends since the day it was pur-
chased.

A Somnambulistic Editor.

Editor j. G. Darlington, of Laurens,
who, by the way, publishes one OF the
best of the Carolina weeklies, is a
somnambulist. While glancing over the
matter in preparation for the issue of his
paper Tor the current week, he noticed
an article telling of the destruction OF
Laurens by an incendiary fire. Efforts
to ascertain who wrote the article, or
what printer put it in type, failed. 1t
soon leaked out that Editor Darlington
had written and set up the article while
asleep, walking from his residence to his
Office in the dead of night to do so. The
account of the fire recited, among other
things, that the loss occasioned by the
fire would foot up $4,000, with one
eighth nce.-Augusts Chronicle.
