DEATH OF HENRY BERGH.
The Career of Man Famous as the Friend
of Dumb Animals.

Mr.. Henry Bergh, the philanthropist,
died in New York Monday morning.
He was born in New York City in 1923.
After graduating at Columbia College
he studied law, and, having taste for
literature, wrote several dramas, tales
and poems while yet young. In 1868
Mr.. Bergh was appointed Secretary of
Legation at st. Petersburg, and after
ward served as Eice-Consul at the Rus
sian Capital. On his return to Ameri-
ca, in 1866, he organized the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
with which his name has since become
so we'll known, and to the success of
which he has since devoted not only a
very considerable private fortune, but
all his time and talent.
Whisperings of his true mission in
life came to Henry Bergh about the
time of his appointment as Secretary
of Legation at st. Petersburg, in 1862.
For years he had taken note of the
cruelties practiced on dumb animals in
European countries and the brutal
sports IN which animal life was sacri-
feed. His strong sense Of justice and
human obligation led him to regard
such cruelty as one of the greatest blem-
ishes on human character. In Russia
tie common people have or had a pro
found respect for official position. Mr..
Bergh's footman wore the gold lace that
served to distinguish members of the
diplomatic corps. One day he inter
fered in behalf Of donkey that was
being cruelty beaten, and made the
happy discovery that the owner of the
beast as well as the crowd stood in awe
of the gold laHe ofhis equipage. "At
last" he said, "I've found way to
utilize my gold lace, and about the best
use that can be made Of it." So he
formed a society OF two for the protec-
ton of dumb animals, his coachman,
as executive officer, sympathizing in
the work to the extent of the wages
paid him. Before leaving Russia he
determined to devote the remainder OF
his life to the interest Of dumb animals.
On the whole his success has been
steady and progressive. Tnirty-siX
States Of the Union have societies
founded on the Bergh model, and the
impulse of his work has been felt in
foreign lands. The society of which he
Was President has 325 agents in the
State of New York. Mr.. Dergh re-
ceived no salary for bis work, giving
his time and best energies to his work
of defending the animals who were in
capable of defending themselves
Next to Mr.. Bergh himself, the so
ciety's greatest benefactor was Louis
Borard, a Frenchman, who bequeathed
to the society S150,000. Wills aggre-
eating half million dollars in bequest
have been drawn in favor of the society
since by philanthropic men who are
still living.

softening and other disorders of the
brain, the various morbid conditions to
which the digestive organs are subject,
would be impossible except through
the action of some external force, such
as the swallowing of sulphuric acid or
blow on the head, or a stab with
knife, which would come clearly within
the class of accidents and of course
many of them would be avoidable.
Again, let us imagine that man knew
just to what an extent his animal appe-
tites should be gratified; that he had
ascertained definitely to what an ex-
tent, if at all, alcohol, tobacco and
other stimulants and sedatives should
be used; that his knowledge in regard
to clothing was perfect; that he had ac-
quired complete information of the
manner in which his house should be
built and heated and ventilated and
otherwise made sanitarily perfect; that
cookery had become one of the exact
sciences; that he was able to avoid the
effects of extreme heat, cold and mois-
ture; that, in word, he had nothing to
learn in regard to the best way of liv-
ing so as to preserve himself from all
morbifc causes; supposing all this, and
I admit that it is not very likely that
he will for ages upon ages acquire the
almost God-like omniscience necessary,
death would be impossible and the
eternal life to which we are told he was
born would again be his.
From consideration of these points
we perceive that people die.
First. From ignorance.of all the laws
of life.
Second. From wilfulness in not obey
ing the laws they know.

Pushing the Three C's.
Augusta Chronicle.1

The engineer corps of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago railroad COM
pany is now camped near Hamburg,
and propose to commence the survey
Of the route to Newberry, S. G. Few
of our people have an idea of the i'm
portance Of this enterprise. 1t is pro-
posed to build continuous line from
Charleston S. c., to the Ohio river 600
miles. The corps is now operating from
the Ohio river, at Ashland, KY, to
White House, KY, go miles; from
Rutherdfordton, n. c., to Blacks, S. c.,
As miles, and intend constructing a
branch to Augusta Ga, having consoli-
dated with the Carolina and Midland
for that purpose.
The general manager was here with
mining and railroad experts not long
since. He reported that in Kentucky
the lines runs through inexhaustible
coal fields, and his visit had as it's main
object, to ascertain the extent to which
this could be marketed. All the party
were much impressed with the impor-
tance of this as manufacturing centre.
1t was suggested that coal could be
shipped by barges to Savannah, thus
furnishing all the steamships visiting
that port, as well as supplying gas
companies, factories and private consul
mers. The idea was favorably received,
and it is within the range of probabili-
ties that in less than two years, this
will become the distributing point for
cheap coal, thus giving us fuel at rates
so low as to give a mighty impetus to
small manufacturing industries as well
as contributing largely to the comfort
of all our citizens.
A letter from General: Manager A. S.
Johnson, dated 10th inst, states that
arrangements are now complete and
that the line will be running to Angus
ia within eighteen months. This gives
us a competing line to the West,
through which its treasures of food and
other products may be poured into our
midst, and furnishes our cotton mills
new route by which they may send
their goods to Chicago, now the chief
distributing point for the Western and
Northwestern states.
Work on the lines has been delayed
for reasons best known to those in au-
thority; but all obstacles having been
removed, we may hope to hear the
whistle of the locomotive before We are
two years older.
THE OF THE LINE BEGUN.
Augusta Chronicle, 16th.l
The engineering corps OF the Three
C.'s railroad arrived on the c., c. & A,
railroad train from Rock Hill last
night, and registered at the Planters.
There are in the party, o. A. Rarnsaur,
chief; Fleming Ramsaur, B. S. Suttle,
c. c. Scruggs, W. c. Black, L. G.
Kingsley, Richard B. Rorison.
They have completed the locating of
the line from Camden, S. c., to Marion,
N. c. will begin to-day the relocating
of the line from Augusta to Newberry.
The old road bed of the Augusta,
Edgefeld and Newberry railroad,
which was absorbed by the Three C's,
was intended for narrow gauge and is
considered too devious for broad
gauge. The corps under Mr.. o. A RAM
saur will begin in Hamburg this morn
inc.
