A QUEER FIDDLE CASE
A Country Postmaster Kept His FiddIef IN
the Mel Bag
fCbarleston World x

/ r. = q r. - r-Eg :
Quite an amusing incident occurred
few days since on the Central Rail
road between Lanes and Sumter
breaking the dull monotony Of the
duties Of the United States railway;
station on this road which receives, st IS.
said, about one letter on the average
each week. The mail trains do not
stop at this place and the clerks catch
the pouch hanging on a post at the
station with an iron catch hook. Or,
a late trip the mail bag, when caught,
bounced into the car with some force,
and, flying open, disclosed the frag
ments of an ordinary country fiddle,
the splinters of which few in all dii-s
rections over the car. The clerks were
considerably puzzled as to what. class
of mail matter q fiddle belonged, and
how it could have come into the mail
pouch.
A few days later some light was
thrown On this matter by letter res
ceived from the postmasterat the sta
ton, who inquired very particularly
about a fiddle, which he said he had
placed in the mail bag to prevent the
rats from destroying the violin. One
OF his sons, whose duty it was toatten6
to the making up of the mails, know
ing nothing of what had been placed
in the bag, hung it out as usual on the
post, with the stated result. The re-
mains of the instrument were carefully
gathered together and sent to the
owner through the mail.

ONE DIES EVERY SECOND.
Some Facts About the Worlds Population
Over a Billion Inhabitants.

Here are some interesting facts about
the people who compose the popula-
ton of the world:
There are 1904 languages in the
world, and its inhabitants profess more
than 1000 religions.
The number of men is about equal to
the number Of women. The averege of
life is about thirty-three years. One
quarter die previous to the age of seven
teen. TO every 1000 persons only one
reaches 100 years Of life, says the Gold
en- Argosy. 70 every 100 only six reach
the age of siXty-tive, and not more than
one in SO lives to eighty years Of age
There are CT the earth 100000, 900
inhabitants of these 33,033,033 die
every year; 9l,S24 every day; $3.50
every hour, and sixty every minute, or
one every second.
The married arc longer-lived than
the single, and above all, those who
observe sober ana INDUSTRIOUS con-
duct. Tall men live longer than short
ones. Women nave more chances of
life in their favor previous to fifty years
of age than men have, but fewer after
ward.
The number of marriages is in the
,,roport;on of - ro every 600 indiyid-
ua,s. Marriages are more frequent
after cquinoxes-that is, during the
months of June and December.
Those born in spring are generally OF
q more robust constitution than others.
Births are more frequent by night than
by day: also deaths.
The number of men capable of bear
ing arms is calculated at one-fourth OF
the population.

PROSPECTING AT BLACKS.
The Ores Proving to be Richer in Quality.

Correspondence Yorkville Enquirer. |
BLACKS, November 19.-The Mag
netic Iron and Steel Ore Mining Com
pany are still pushing their prospecting
operations with the most satisfactory
results. About two thousand tons Of
ore have been taken ont of the lode
nearest the river-designated by the
miners as 'No. g." The width of the
lode has not yet been ascertained, and
as to depth, Col. Black thinks it ex-
tends not less than five hundred feet
down-probably thousand or fifteen
hundred. The ore taken out is said to
average from 40 to so per cent, and
your correspondent is informed that
Birmingham is offering S5 per ton for
the best of it. The company could
probably clear 50 at this price, butdon't
care to ship any at present. A shaft
has been sunk down about twenty
five feet on the "soft ore" at point
formerly worked by one of the old
mining companies. The ore proves to
be very rich and the quality improves
quite perceptibly as the shaft is sunk
deeper. The miners are experiencing
some trouble from the water at this
point. There seems to be no further
doubt about the quantity of ore in this
section and still less about the quality.
The operations of the Richmond
company, under the direction of Mr.
Garscine, are also progressing quite sat
isfactorily. Mr.. Garscine is making ar
rangements to ship some of his ores to
Virginia. He says that all the analy-
ses that have been made up to the
present are highly satisfactory and
thinks the ores are the finest that he
has ever seen. One variety he de-
scribes as rather peculiar. 1t is mag
netic oxide, quite black in color and
powders between the fingers like bath
brick, and although seemingly very
light, assays nearly 70 per cent. metallic
iron.

GENERAL HARRISON MAD.
He Takes Lady Reporters Book from
Her and Destroys Her Notes.
[St. Louis Republican. ]


C1NCINNATI, o., Nov. lion Friday
a large delegation of ladies visited Gen
eral Harrison at Indianapolis. On
Thursday Mrs. S. c. Haslett Bevis,
recently on the editorial staff of the
Evening Post, and we'll and favorably
known in local newspaper circles, went
over to call on the general in advance.
In to-morrow's issue of the Sunday
Telegram she will say that after great
difficulty she received an entrance to
tine house of Generel Harrison, the
door being opened by Mr.. Mckee.
There We're other ladies present. The
President-elect was in an adjoining
room, talking TO number OF gentle
men. The conversation was so inter
esting that she began taking notes.
Up to this time General Harrison had
not apparently been aware Of the pres,
ence Of the ladies', but in an instant he
was on his feet, and, in the language OF
Mrs. Bevis, "sprang" to her side and
asked her in imperious. tones if she had
taken note of what be had said. He
was told "yes,n whereupon he deliber
ately took the note book from Mrs
Bevis' hand and declared his intention
Of keeping it. The lady told him the
book contained many things valuable
to her which in no way touched him.
Turning over the book he found the
leaves on which Mrs. Bevis had writ
ten and jerked them from the cover anG
returned the remains. The lady ex
planned that she had no inteltion o
offending and was only doing her duty
to the paper she represented. Harrison
replied:
! your common sense should teach
you better than to come into my house
and make notes Of me and my family
and surroundings. 1t is an insult
Will not allow"
He was told there was no intention
of insulting him, and that she had
| come on ahead to seek an interview.
"You nor no other reporter can dc
that" was the rejoinder.
She was thea invited to another
! room with the ladies, and the Genera
treated them very pleasantly there.

AN EXTRA SESSION WANTED.
Republicans Anxious to Convene the Fifty
First Congress in March.

Some of the most practical men il: the
Republican party are expressing them
selves in favor of an extra session of the
Fifty-frst Congress.
It is one of the unwritten traditions
of the politics of Congress that an ad-
ministration which calls an extra ses-
sion is seldom benefited by it. The
strongest argument made for an extra
session is that the Republicans are like
ly to find it necessary to preserve all
the fruits of their victory, and to make
it certain that no untoward fortune
shall deprive them of their majority.
This suggestion is one which is certain
to receive.th the consideration of thought
full men of both parties
Ifprecedents of the last few years are
to be followed, in the Fifty-tirst Con-
gress there will be more than one va
cant seat created before December,
1889, by circumstances beyond the con-
troll of politicians orhuman ambition.
Some of the Republican leaders who
have given consideration to this subject
say it would be great risk to run for
their party to postpone organization till
December.
Considering the question from pa
triotic rather than from partisan
grounds, there can be no doubt that the
country would not be benefited by a
renewal of the excitement of Congress
sional contest and struggles for the con-
troll of the House because of elections
made necessaryt to fill vacancies in close
districts. caused by death. Republi-
cans, who under other conditions
| would strongly oppose an extra session
of the Fifty-first Congress, think it
will be Of vital importance to their
party that the new Congress shall as
semble in March next. Their pur-
poses would be accomplished by organi-
zation and by the appointment of a
committee on elections, and an inves-
tigation into some of the contested
cases, of which there are certain to be
many.
