MISCELLANEOUS.
Gifts of Poison.

1t is time that respectable mer-
chants combined with consumers for
the suppression of all gift. prize and
lottery schemes in connection with
the sale of merchandise. These
schemes are not only demoralizing TO
legitimate business and to the morals
of the community. but in the extent
in which they are being carried in the
sale of articles of food have become
a source of great danger to the pub
lie health. They are, no matter in
what form they appear. nothing more
or less than dcvises to swindle hon
est and unsuspecting people.
1t is gratifying to learn that in
some instances the officers of the law
have taken hold of the matter. In
New York, and also in Chicago, par
ties who in this way offered gifts to
purchasers of their packages have re-
Gently been arrested upon indict-
ments for lottery swindIing. The
latest candidates, both for public ex-
ecration and criminal prosecution,
are the manufacturers of the alum
baking powders, who are both by
means of gift and lottery tickets,
disposing of large quantities of their

which are so well known to be detri.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Wheeling Register. writing of the
political prospects in the various COM
gressional districts of West Virginia,
has this TO say of ours:
In the Second District there are the
usual number of candidates, but the
expectation here among West Virgin
ians, is that Hon. William L. Wilson
will he renominated with but little
difficulty. Without disparagement
to the other aspirants in the district,
it can be said that should the DEM
ocrats of the Second District fail to
renominste Mr.. Wilson this summer
they will make a grievous mistake.
Few members of Congress have
jumped from comparative obscurity
into public prominence as soon, and
taken such n position in the front
rank in the House of Representative
as has Mr.. Wilson. He Is one Of the
leading members of the present Com
gress, and is recognized as such by
everybody. It is confidently expect
ed that he will be returned, as he
should be, with little opposition.
There are, however, said TO be sew
eraI prominent aspirants for his seat,
among whom are mentioned Judge
Brooks Fleming, of Marion county,
Hon. Junior Brown. of Preston and

al Want My Mother. !"

An old, old woman lay slowly dy-
ing. Her life had been one of care
and toll, of pain and sorrow. She
had outlived all of the companions of
her youth. Those of her middle life
had long been in their graves. In
her old age, with her two daughters
themselves decrepit with the bur-
den of seventy-five and eighty years
she had been Obliged to find a ref
uge and shelter within almshouse
walls. = -
But she was too old to care for
that Poverty and public charity
had lost all terror for her at last
She was oblivious TO her surround
ings. Her mind had let go its hold
upon the present, and her thoughts
busted themselves with the scenes
and days of childhood, and in plain-
tive tones she exclaimed:
'' 1 want my motheri Iwant my
motherl" acs
The daughters. hearing her call,
went to the bedside, asking, "What
do you want, mother7''
She looked at them with eyes in
which was no CLEAN of recognition.
All memory of husband and children
had long faded away.
Who are these old women here ~
she asked. H don't want any Of
them. Go awayl Motherl Motheri
Why don't you come? / want my
motherl' ~,
The poor old daughters, them
selves trembling on the verge of the,
grave, turned away, weeping. Their
mothers love had stood the test till
now, but in life's last hours she was
again little child, and as she felt
the chill of death stealing over her,
she longed for her niother's shelter
ing arms. rr :,
:. Mother, lam so tired and sleepyi
/ want 70 be undressed and go 20 bed.
Now hear me say ny. praysrs.' =, -.
The sheivelled hands clasped theml
selves together-as they had wont to
do. oh. so many years agoi-and the
trembling voice faltered out:
"Now I1ay me down to sleep.
Ipray the Lord my sonl IN keep:
II should die before wake,
pray the Lord my soul 10 takci
And this I ask for Jesps' sake"
!" Good-nightl" she added. softly,
after a moments pause. She closed
her eyes, hut opened them again di-
rectly. with an eager, happy look
Her daughters saw her face grow
young and radiant.
so motherl motheri I am so glad
you'v comet"
She stretched out her arms
There was one brief minute, and
then the weary pilgrim, whose feet
had trod the rough paths of earth
for nearly hundred years, was at
rest
.'where the child shall ind its mother,
And the mother hnd her child. "

An INCEsDrARY PAPER.

The Chicago Tribune is greatly
incensed because the negroes do
not poll full vote and control the
Southern States. 1t says:
1.-THE source of trouble is that the
southern blacks will not fight for
themselves, and any coercive power
to enforce their rights must be used
from the outside. White men or
Indians situated as the southern me-
groes are would make the rivers OF
the south run red before they would
submit to the usurpations and
wrongs which the blacks passively
endure"
The Tribune evidently means to
encourage or incite the negroes of
the South to commit murder and
arson. John Brown came South on
an insurrectionary tour and was
hung for it, and if the editor of the
Tribune would like to see the wo-
men and children made homeless
and their husbands and fathers
murdered to place the Republican
party in power in the South, and an
Ignorant and superstitious race
made rulers OF the white people, he
ought to come down in person and
advocate his doctrines. 1t wouldn't
be long before he would suffer the
fate that Chicago visited on his
brother Anarchists. Such treason.
able dtterances against his own race
and his own blood, shows that the
spirit Of hate is still rampant among
the Northern and Northwestern Re-
publicans. The negroes enjoy far
more political privileges in the
South than they do in the North.

SAVANNAH RIOT.

Thursday being holiday, there
were many idle hands in Yamacraw,
and a good deal of evil was done.
By noon a great many Of the idle
colored men we're partly intoxicated,
and were in a condition to do almost
any evil deed on a very slight pro-
vocation. A drunken colorcd man,
who was peace disturber, was ar
rested by policeman. He resisted,
and a struggle ensued. Dozens of
colored men and women rushed to
the assistance OF the colored man
who was fighting the officer. There
was serious trouble at once. The
officer used his pistol and the ne
groes used clubs, knives and stones.
Assistance came to the officer, and
more excited negroes Joined in the
ARRAY. There were hundreds of
them, and they acted more like dem
ons than human beings. The wo-
men were more reyengeful and
bloodthirsty than the men. They
urged the men to attack the officers,
and they led the attack. One col
ored man was killed. Three color
ed men, one white civilian and two
policemen were badly wounded.
About 80 negroes have since been
arrested.

He was convicted of burglary once
and sent to the penitentiary for four
years which time he served out.
He was again convicted for similar
oifense and sentenced for eighteen
years. He served four years of this
term, when Governor Gordon par
doned him out. He had not been
home more than six months before
he was caught stealing again. He
was tried, convicted and sentenced
tor one year this time.

Life is a composition of multi
tude of little things. Men design
not to be harsh and hard would
not be unfair. But not enough at
tention is being paid to the ameni-
ties OF life. A kind word, word of
cheer, of exculpation; a little gift, a
picture, a flower, a book, courtesy,
a polite bow, cordial smile-how
such little things convert the will
derness of life into an Eden.

"More manufactures" should be
the cry of the South, and every one
who feels an interest in the develop

should put his shoulder to the wheel
in this direction. We have the
country, the climate and the mate

featuring country on earth, if our
people could only realize this and go
to work with that vim and energy
that they should exercise to place
this section second to no other in
manufacturing industries.

BY decision of the court OF ap-
peals of New York, Cornell univer-
sity loses bequest of S1,500,000.
Some time ago Mrs. Fisk left that
amount to the university, but Mr..
Fiske contested the will, on the
ground that Cornell's charter pro-
hibited the possession by that insti-
tuition of more than So, 000,O 900 worth
of property, and that the limit had
been reached already. The court
decided in Dir. Fiske's favor, and
now the court Of appeals has affirm
ed that decision. A college with
$4,000, 900 worth Of property ought
to be well equipped anyway.
