que ell aumento de crin,ina,idad
por este concepto es indicio eyi

A GREAT CARGO OF COTTON.
Shipped from Charleston-A Notable In
cident.
Especial to Register.

CHARLESTON, October 31.-An ocean
tramp, the steamship Giengoil, went
to sea to-day, crossing the bar with
cargo Of 5000 bales of cotton, which it
is claimed is the largest cargo of cotton
ever slowed on an ocean steamship in
any port in America. The ship only
drew seventeen feet Of water after be-
ing loaded. Her cargo is valued at
100000, and the freight list at $4,000.
The incident is important, for the
reason that it proves that deep water at
the bar is not an absolute essential for
Charleston's Importance as seaport.
The tendency of wooden ship-building
is to build vessels oflight draught and
at the same time heavy carrying
capacity, and a good many people in
Charleston are of the opinion that it
woulG be a wise thing for the million
aires of the city not to wait for the
tardy and niggardly appropriations Of
Congress to complete the jetties, but
that they should rather invest
some of their surplus hundred thou
sands in getting possession Of railroad
to the West and in the establishment
of a steamship line to New York or
Baltimore and to Liverpool.

nality of our legislatures and boards of
imported aldermen, the slander and
blackguardism Of Presidential cam
paigns, the falsehood and ignorance of
our sham statesmen whom the mob
sets up as leaders and representative
Americans, the pillage by law that our
people not only endure but seem to en-
joy, the humbug and universal chica-
merry in legislative, executive and ju-
dicial halls, 1 am often tempted to fore
swear America and make my home in
some other country. One thing keeps
me true to lay native land. All my
loyalty has a feminine string to it. I
might swap countries, but where could
lind countrywomen equal to my own?
| have wandered in many lands and
have seen the women of every nation
beneath the sun; but nowhere
have ever found any comparable to
our own glorious daughters of Colum-
bia. They combine in themselves all
that is noblest and brightest, sweetest
and best in the feminine character of
all other races. I admire and love my
fair countrywomen, North and South,
East and West. Beauty and woman
hood arc bounded, thank God, by no
sectional lines. No 'thern and South
er" blonde and brunette, black eyes
and brown eyes and blue, raven locks
and golden tresses, 1 do homage to
them all. In Murray Hill palace or
far Western cabin, amid Dakotan
snowdrifts or Floridian orange groves,
every American woman is queen.
Her throne is in every true mans
heart, and her seeptre is absolute,
though wreathed with flowers. She
has the God given right to dress as she
pleases, and when she pleases herself
she always pleases me-"

A HOUSE DROPS TWELVE FEET.
Terror-Stricken Inmates Flee from Their
Residences at Night.

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, October 90
For some time portion of the suburbs
of Plymouth, known as Carry Hill,
has shown signs of a caving in of the
surface. About 3 o'clock this morning
the house occupied by Henry Fox, and
about halfan acre surrounding it, went
down fully twelve feet. The shock was
sudden and very violent. The inmates
of the house were thrown from their
beds, the house tipped over and the
rear extension was torn loose from the
main building and not long after col5z
held together, though the walls were
split and gaping.
Tne family were 'terror-stricken and
fastened out of the falling house in
their night clothes. All the furniture
and household goods were destroyed or
damaged, and every bit of plaster was
torn from the walls. It is certain that
other cave-ins will follow, as the ground
is still working in all that vicinity and
seems to be settling slowly.

The Canals Of Mars.
Rochester Herald.

NJ. -Schiaparelii, the Paris astrono-
mer, thinks it is curious that 80 many
of the canals of Mars are parallel, some
of them have been thus doubled up
since he first began to make observa-
tions of that planet. The people of
Mars have unquestionably taken that
idea from the earth. They have OBJ
served the great railroads of this coun-
try building parallel lines into each
others territory, and, knowing that We
are unusually enterprising here,
thought it was a good enough idea to
apply to their canals. They will dis
cover the error before many more di-
vided days pass by. Ifthey could get
telephone connection with monthly
meeting of the board of directors of the
Chicago, Burlington and Northern, the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, or
the Central Pacific, the canal builders
of Mars would hear something from
which they might profit.

A School Teacher Publicly Gained by q
Mayor.
Especial to Register.

GREENvILLE, November IA SEN
sational personal encounter took place
on Main street here to-day between
Hon. S. ~ Townes, Mayor of the city,
and Prof. W. S. Morrison, Superintend-
ent of the Graded Schools, and one of
the best known teachers in the State
The two neil had had Il misunder-
standing about punishment admin
istered by the Superintendent to the
Mayors son, but the matter had been
apparently amicably settled. This
morning, however, Mayor Townes met
Superintendent Morrison on the street
and suddenly began beating him over
the head and shoulders with a light
walking stick, breaking the cane into
bits, but without intiicting any serious
or painful injuries. The parties were
separated, and 50 far there have been
no further developments; but it is
generally believed that the end is not
yet. The affair has created surprise
and decided sensation in the city, and
is all the talk. Public opinion is unde-
cided.
