carry on the institution.
In most of the noted colleges in
the United States the presidents get
at least eight or ten thousand dollars

three to FIVE thousand. Still, some
patriotic statesmen might be found

the possible. income of the estate
should be expended in providing
hominy and milk to feed the famish-

from home with them, and thus
would diminish the expenses of the

The HUMAN Observation-Disclosures
Brown-Sequard has recently been
making experiments to determine
whether the human breath was capa-
Bile of producing any poisonous ef-
fects. From the condensed watery
vapor of the expired air he obtained
poisonous liquid, which, when in
iected under the skin of rabbits, pro-
duced almost immediate death. He
ascertained that this poison was an
alkaloid, and not microbe. The
rabbits thus injected died without
convulsions, the heart and large
blood vessels being engorged with
blood. Brown-Sequard considers it
fully proved that the expired air,
both of man and animals, contains q
volatile poisonous principle which is
much more deleterious than carbonic
acid.

FOOLISH CONTROVERSIES.

"AvOid foolish questions" (Iltus,
iii:9). Our days are few, and are far
better spent in doing good than IN
disputing over matters which are at
best of minor Importance. The old
school men did a world of mischief
by their incessant discussion of sub
iects of no practical importance; and
our churches suffer much from petty
wars over abstruse points and unim.
portant questions. After everything
has been said that can be said, neith-
er party is any the wiser, and there
fore, the discussion no more pro-
notes knowledge than love, and it is
foolish to SOW in 80 barren field.
Questions upon points wherein
Scripture is silent, upon mysteries
which belong to God alone, upon
prophecies of doubtful Interpretation
and upon mere mokes of observing
ceremonials, are all foolish, and wise
men avoid them. Our business is
neither to ask nor answer foolish
questions, but to avoid them alto
gether. And if we observe the apos-
ties precept, (Titus, 19), to be careful
to maintain good works, we shall
find ourselves far too much occupied
with profitable business to take much
interest in unworthy contentious and
needless strivings.
There are, however, some ques-
tions which are the reverse of foolish,
which we must not avoid, but fairly
and honestly meet, such as these:
"Do I believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ? Am I renewed in the spirit
of my mind? Am l walking after
the flesh or the Spirit? Am l grow
ing in grace? Does my conversation
adorn the doctrine Of God my Sa-
viour? Am l looking for the COM
ing of the Lord, and watching as
servant does for his master? What
more can do for Jesus?" Such in
quiries as these urgently demand
our attention and if we have been
at all given to caviling, let US now
turn our critical abilities to a service
so much more profitable. Let US be
peace-makers, and endeavor to lead
others, both by our prayer and ex.
ample, to ''avoid foolish questions"
"Study those things which make for
peace. .'-SD,irgeOn.

A FAMINE IN GOLD.

"Probably nine-tenths Of all the
gold obtained by man has been taken
from placer deposits, and our Ameri-
can experience has been no excep-
tion to the general rule" remarked
an experienced mining operator in
speaking Of the past and future of
this valuable product the other even
ing. Previous to 185 our total
gold production amounted to 81, ,000,-
600, but between 1S47 and! 1887 about
81, 1,75O, 100000 werer 'contributedGto
our stock of gold. HOf this, nearly
three-fourths came from placers de-
posits. In 1S50-56 we obtained more
than so, 100000 per annum in gold
from the placers of California, and
almost nothing from gold bearing
veins. Now, with an annualhpro-
duction of $40, 100000 about one-half
only is from placers. Our owniter-
ritory has been so thoroughly explor-
ed that no considerable superficial
deposits of gold are likely to be dis
covered, and nearly the same thing
can be said of the entire world sa, -.
'"In the northern extension Of our
western mountain ranges in British
Columbia and Alaska there are prob
ably important deposits Of gold. It
is likely, however, to come from this
region in moderate but perennial
stream, and not in flood. Great
difficulty will attend the working Of
those mines on account of the cold,
long winters and the difficulty in
transporting supplies. Unless the
mines should prove richer than ex-
pected, there may be a. dearth hof
gold in the near future. In the Al
leghany belt of mountains, In this
country, there are large deposits of
gold, but they are difficult to work.
Still, industry and perseverance
may make them pay profit. Mex
leo may be expected to turn out
81 900, 900 year, but no more. The
west coast of South America yields
little but silver. ~Ta "1s '5i
"Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil
have on the contrary, always been
producers of gold. It is estimated
that from Brazil alone more than
81 ,O00, 900 in gold were obtained du-
ring the first 300 years after the ad-
vent of the Portuguese. Colombia
and Venezuela and now yielding
about s., 100000 each annually, and
little more than that can be expected
in the future. g.. -. s.el. sfi;
Australia produces about $50, ,000,-
900 year, and we cannot hope for
more than $5,0OO,000 annually from
Asia. That will cover itall. 1 don't
fear that you and I will ever suffer
from famine of gold, but unless
the North American deposits are
richer than is expected some one will
suffer" ."-NeaD York MaiIa,ad Express.

INDIAN JUsTICE.-In the early
history of this country, Appalachee
was, for a time, the dividing line be-
tween. the whites and the Cherokees.
There was constant trouble between
the two races that required friendly
adjudication to prevent bloodshed
there was q justice on duty named
Tumlin, to whom these issues were
generally submitted. He soon got
tired of the frivolous complaints Of
the Indians, and concluded that he
would have an Indian justice and
bailiff to settle their disputes. He
accordingly had one appointed who
willingly undertook to dispense JUS
tice. Some time afterward, Tumlin
met the Indian justice and wanted to
know how he was maintaining the
dignity of the law; the old Indian
replied that he was doing finely, but
had tried but one case. -, p. ...... -'..'.

AN AUTHENTIC AND DIsCOURAGING
rvpr ANAnToN on THE pEOIIEsT

AN AUTHENTIC AND DIsC0URAG1NG
EXPLANATION OF THE REQUEST.
TO the Editor of the Ne10s and
Courier: see so Llany false state
ments, misconceptions and ridiculous
exaggerations in the public papers
about the will of 10y father-in-laW,
the late Mr.. Thomas G. Clemson,
as to the amount of property belong.
ing to his estate, the terms of his will
and the amount that would accrue to
the State of South Carolina for the
purpose of founding an agricultural
college, should Mr.. Clemson's will be
valid and the bequest accepted by
the State, that l am impelled to
make a plain and clear statement of
the whole matter, 80 far as my
knowledge extends. ,.,......
In justice to myself, to my father
in-laW, Mr.. Clemson, and as both
father and guardian of my daughter,
who is the grand daughter and only
surviving descendant and natural
heir of Mr.. and Mrs. Clemson, and
the great granddaughter of the late
Hon. John G.. Calhoun, am induced
to take this course, for the reason
that frequent inquiries are made OF
me by numerous friends of my
daughter and her ancestors in South
Carolina, by some of the relatives of
Mr.. Clemson, who live out of this
State, and by friends and acquaint-
anceS of my own.
Most of the information, which l
here endeavor to give as correctly as
can, was derived from Mr.. R. w.
Simpson, who has had charge of Mr.:
Clemson's affairs as his attorney and
legal adviser for several years past,
and who is appointed by his will his
executor and trustee, and of whom
he speaks in the will in the highest
terms as his "trusted friend and ad-
viser." If the will is not contested
by me, as the guardian of my daugh-
ter, there would be left for the pur-
pose of founding an agricultural COL
fege in the State of South Carolina
probably as follows:
The Fort Hill estate, 825 acres or
whereabouts, the farming value OF 1T
being about $4,000. .t-r
Mr.. Simpson informed me that the
personal property, consisting OF
stocks, bondsand mortgages and 9TH
er securities in his hands, was about
S27, 900.
From this sum take the legacies,
payable in cash, SlS, 1000, and it leaves
$4,000. Mr.. Simpson, the executor
and trustee under the will, isalloWed
5 per cent. on the whole amount of
the estate by the will, and also, I am
told, 5 per cent. by law, making in
all 10 per cent. commissions on the
whole property. This would amount
to say $4,000. Deduct that from the
cash assets left of So, 900 and it leaves
$4,000. Then deduct lawyers bills,
expense of keeping up the house and
many other necessary expenses, and
1 think most people will agree with
me in thinking that there will not be
much left on which to found an agri-
cultural college except the S25 acres OF
the Fort Hill plantation, with a few
dilapidated and partly ruined build
ings:
But, even valuing the remainder
of the estate at $l5, 1000, an extremely
high estimate, the interest on this
sum of money at I ercent. would be
S1,050. t.5.
Not very munificent sums these to
found a great institution, and certain
ly the most incorruptible and eco
nomical statesmen could not reason

A JUDGES SENSIBLE WORDS
Judge Tuley oe cupies position
which enables him, almost compels
him, to collect statistics as to the
cause of divorce. In recent inter-
view he said: ... .' ~ n.. g'..
II would not add to, nor take
away any of the causes of divorce
now given by the statute. Lift were
practicable, / would prohibit by law,
any newly married couple living
with the parents of either within the
first five years. When left by them
selves their characters sooner assimi-
late and they much sooner learn that
in order to be happy there must be
continual and mutual self sacrifices
and dependence upon each other"
There is condensed in the last SEN
tence the result of much experience
by a close thinker. A vast; amount
of unhappiness might have been
avoided if every newly married
couple, and the parents of each,
could have been made to know this
before it was too late.-Chicago

neglected burrows were covered with
a thick growth of yellow sedge, all
wet with melted snow and shining
in the soft red rays of the setting sun.

moist, tangled fence-corners. Their
little blue home-spun frocks-for

DIR. BROOKS LETTER.
Another Hard Blow at Republican
Free whisky.

CHICAGO, August 6.-The letter OF John
A. Brooks, accepting the Vice-Presiden-
tial nomination of the Prohibition ticket
was made public to-day. After acknow-
ledging the honor conferred upon him he
denounces in the strongest terms the mo-
nopolists and trusts, which he says are
against the wholesome revision of the
tariff. He says the country will hold
each of the great political parties to its
platform, and that the platform OF the
Prohibition party is the wisest of the
three. He does not hesitate to say that
the surplus in the treasury is menace to
the business interests of the country.
The propriety Of taking the tax off
whisky must depend altogether upon the
purposel intended to be accomplished by
such removal. The tariff itself pleads
right to existence upon the grounds Of its
recognition by the Government and the
revenue it pays into the public treasury.
Strike down this defense and an out
ragged public would not long suffer its
continuance. The Prohibition party
would strike off that tax that
it may sooner destroy the traffic.
The purpose of the Republican
party in the repeal of the tax
is to reduce the revenues that they may
not have to surrender any part Of
the protective system. The Prohibition.
lists would take this arch-criminal out OF
prison to hang him; the Republicans to
set him at liberty. Every Christian will
approve the prompting of the one and
denounce the other as the consummation
of human sel6shness and infamy. The
proper protection of American labor
and the infant industries of our
country, may and does commend itself
to the majority of the people, but of in
fnitely more importance is the protec-
ton of our homes.
DIR. Brooks concludes by remarks re-
garding the sanctity of the home, refers
to the evil influence of saloons and en-
dorses Woman's Suffrage and the work
of women for Prohibition.
