CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

COLUMBIA, S. O., May 18.-An extra
ordinary homicide is reported from
remote section of Williamsburg county,
this State. M. W. Dennis, white man,
was conversing after supper with his wife,
and they, after awhile, got to quarreling.
Dennis became greatly excited, and
attempted to give his wife a genuine
whipping. She demonstrated, but he
continued his endeavor, and she then
proceeded to defend herself. Happening
to have in her lap piece of iron, she
used it in her own defense, striking him
on his head and killing him instantly.

away from home during the evening,
leaving their children in charge of Mrs.
Lewis, Mrs. Llewellyn's mother. Shortly
before midnight, the house took fire and

The Probable Origin Of His Name.

There is no doubt or ambiguity with
regard to the earliest part of Judas Iscar.
lots name. Judas is merely the Greek
or Hellenistic form of the Hebrew "Ju"
dah," familiar to everybody. But "Is-
CARROT" is, as it has always been, puzzle.
At least half a dozen interpretations of
the word have been suggested by
philologists, but no one of them is in all
respects satisfactory. The most seeming
of their number is that the word is
condensed or corrupted form of the two
Hebrew words "Ish Karioth," meaning
a.the man of Karioth," Karioth being
village in Southern Palestine, where per-
haps Judas OF hin family had their origi-
nal. The name, however, is of no
consequence for our present purposes; /;
and we have remarked it only to show
the mystery attaching to the man in
every phase of his surroundings.
With regard to his birth, legend and
myth are as copious as in conjecture
with regard to his name. Here are two
of them, for which we are Immediately
indebted to Moncure Conway:
In the spocryphal Gospel of the in
faucy," it is related that demonical boy,
brought to the child Jesus, strikes him
whereupon Jesus weeps, and Satan comes
out of the boy in the shape of a furious
dog. This boy was Judas.
According to another legend, Judas
mother had dream before his birth that
her son would murder his father and sell
his God. To avert this the child was
sunk in the sea, but was cast on shore.
He vas adopted by a king and queen,
who had q son, whom Judas slew. He
fed to Judea, became the page of PLATE,
and after the predestined murder of his
father, learned from his mother her
dream. In terror and contrition Judas
bears of prophet who forgive sins;
when he throws himself at his feet, Jesus,
recognizing his predesti ned betrayer,
accepts him as disciple, and intrusts
him with the purse 80 that Judas avarice
might be excited and the plan of saliva.
ton not fail. Judas thus became heir
apparent to the internal throne, and in
mural pictures of Eastern churches he
appears seated on the knees of q majestic
Satan.-Ne,o Orleans States.

most prosperous farmers are those who
avail themselves of the animal factory
to the fullest extent, and while the "cot;
ton.tot" is wearing out his land the estock
farmer is annually and rapidly improving
his. The introduction of thoroughbred
males ali over the South would in two
years double the value of live stock in
that section. A Merino buck introduced
to flock of native" ewes will raise the
wool product in the offspring from two

hundred pounds to the two.year-old

pioneers. The situations at times were
such that although undertaken in all
good faith and sober earnestness, the
outcome was so ridiculous that q plain
historical statement of the facts in the
case would fail fat. The pioneers Of
those days afford q delightful contrast to
the lugubrious "funny man" of to-day,
who is proverbially of sad and solemn
aspect, whereas the ffuntiersmen would
joke in Che very face Of death. The
following story, which is youched for as

on certain day an election was held in
the town. "A sea.captsin whose vessel
had just come up from San Francisco
stepped into one of the polling places,
and with true American independence
declared he would vote. His Whig
principles, however, were not in favor
with the Democrats, who held the fort,
and the result was that objections were
raised to his asserting his right to vote,
and the captain was finally conveyed to
the doot, very much against his will.
The hardy sailor, tall, well-built man,
considered, the advisability of "clearing
the place out" but the counsels of 8

back to his vessel, where, after sundry
potions, he fell asleep. Early in the
evening he awoke, and announced that
he was going up into The town again.
His faithful ftiehd accompanied him to
restrain any undue exhibition of animal
spirits which might be the result of
excessive use of another kind of spirits,
and together they walked up the street.
As they proceeded on their way the pair
came upon store where with, at q long
table, sat the victors in the recent contest,

to rub together-a sure sign that his
anger was rising. Asmall pig sauntered
.leisurely down the street, picking up a

Sherman is Discouraged.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Senator Sher-
man talks about politics among his friends
with more freedom than he would in.
dulge in in addressing the public by
means of speech or an interview. He
is reported to have expressed to some
friends within few days considerable
encouragement at the prospect both as to
his party and as to himself. He regret.
ted deeply that the Presidential campaign
had been pitched on the Southern issue.
he said the people in New York didn't
care whether the negroes in the South
voted or not; on the whole they rather
preferred that the negroes should not
vote. What the people in New York
wanted was business. They wanted the
South to prosper. The South had better
government and more order aud more
credit and offered more attractive field
for enterprise with the white people in
control, and consequently. New Workers
we're not going to exert themselves vio-
lently in behalf ot the Republican party
if the only purpose OF that party was to
create disorder in the South and interfere
with its commercial development and
try to get the political power of the South
into the hands of the colored voters.
This being the view of the business
Republicans in New York Mr.. Sherman
had no expectation that the Republi.
can party would carry New York. Indi.

Republicans concentrate the fight on In.

How II Is Done.

A Minnesota plew manufacturer, in a
letter to the New York Evening Post,
shows how the Eastern Steel Trust pro-
tected by the high tariff, robs Western
farmers on plow. He says:
''The modern plow is mostly steel. The
cost of the material IN it other than steel
is about fifty cents. We get our beams,
molds and lays cut to shape at the mills.
You see that the change in price of steel
makes u large difference in either tho
profit account of the manufacturer or in
the cost to the farmer. Until last year,
and for some years prior, we had been
getting our steel at 41 cents a pound.
There was nothing to indicate that the
mills were not doing prosperous busi-
ness at that rate. Their statesmen were
actively soliciting orders, their trade was
good, and read occasional accounts of
the increase in their facilities for supply
Ing the demand. Last year the steel trust
was formed and the price advanced rap
idly, until now the steel we bought last
year at Al cents pound costs us 104
cents q pound-an advance of 1875 per
cent. This is not due to any increase in
the price of iron or wages, but solely to
the rapaclty of the trust and the trust is
made possible by the unreasonably high
tariff"

PROBABLY no innovation ever spread
more rapidly among farmers than that of
dehorning. From the time that Mr.. H.
H. Haaf began the practice, systematic
ally, down in Illinois, a few years ago, q
careful perusal of the half-dozen agricult-
ural journals coming to the RECORD has
failed to show the less or damage of u
single animal by cutting off its horns,
and hundreds of correspondents who
have dehorned their stock are we'll pleased
with the result. At first the practice was
criticised on the score of cruelty; but it
was easily shown that there was only
a brief pain, and nothing like the pro-
longed suffering caused by branding and
other necessary operations. 1t is also
rightly claimed that the deaths and injury
both to human beings and brutes through
the medium of horn -thrusts Is sufficient
excuse for.removing the weapons Hun
dreds of thousands of cattle throughout
the West and Northwest have been de.
horned, and the saws are yet working.
1t seems probable that within few
years full-grown horned animal will be
curiosity. After the older cattle are
operated upon it is little trouble to keep
the herd in "muley" state, as the horn
germs can be taken from the calves in a
twinkling.. Some people will say, "Why
not raise polled CATTLE and be done with
lt?" Many will probably got to that in
time but most farmers have horned cat
tie, and cannot conveniently make the
change. Besides, u large number of beef.
raisers believe that Hereford and short
horn blood--especially the latter--is more
desirable than Galloway or Aberdeen
Angus. Here in Emmens County, too
the writer among them-a number have
had their cattle dehorned, and we have
yet to hear of one dissatisfied with the
result. We find that cattle with horns off
are more like sheep that they do not
have to be tied that as many as can get
to it will quietly feed at a manger or
drink from trough; that they can be
kept cleaner, because they are able to
choose places for lying down and that
there is no Hooking" and gering. Fur
thermore, it is certainly true that, as more
animals can be kept in building of given
area. they are warmer, more comfortable
and quiet, and therefore less feed is re-
quired to replace wasted heat and keep
them in good condition. We should like
to hear from those of our farmers who
have tried dehorning.
