At Middletown, Conn, Oin J.
Clark has a curiosity which he thinks
IS the next thing to being miracle.
Last fall be felled an old cherry tree,
cut it into cordwood and threw the
sticks in pile into his woodhouse.
The other day he happened to look at
the sticks, which had become season
ed, and was astonished to note that
several of the sticks were covered
with perfect cherry blossoms. Twigs
had put out from the old logs, and
the flowers were on them. Such vi
tality in wood is unprecedented. Mr.
Clark has left the blossoms untouch-
ed, humoring a speculation that they
may develop fruit.

kindred subjects. Such discussions
will result in good.

Our Cylinder Press.

We feel good deal OF prde
in the fact that We are the first in
Clarendon, Sumter, or Williamsburg,
to buy cylinder power press. They
cost a good deal of money, and do
much faster and better printing than
the old style Washington hand press,
Our Office is the only one in the
three counties named above, that is
wholly supplied with power presses.
AL our newspaper and job work is
now done on power presses. We had
our press in Office last week in time
to print our last issue, and according
to promise the paper was duly enlarg-
ed and printed on the cylinder press,
With the aid of that competent and
efficient mechanic, Rob't Dean, our
force got the press properly set up.
We didn't say much about it last
week because We didn't know how it
would set, land good many papers
were imperfectly printed at first but
the press works beautifully now, and
We can freely brag on it. Our paper
is printed beautifully. And we can
didly think it is improved, too,

t6inEsSan ought to subscribe and
pay this $3.50; not simply to help and
encourage us, but especially to supply
your own family with a good pewspa-

one else to read? And even if you
don't borrow it, don't you think you
might make an investment OF three
cents week for your county paper!
We may, and very probably shall, dur.

which you can't agree. That's ali
right. You don't expect US to have

We make the following extract from the

there is evidently but little attention to the

T0HN COUNCIL REPoRTS.

The Sumter papers are freely dis
cussing the action OF the council Of
Of that city in posting up the ordi-
nances on the court house, instead OF
publishing them in q newspaper.
The two papers of that city offer to
do the work jointly for less than the
regular rates Of either. But the
council refuses to have the ordinances
published, preferring to have them
stuck up on houses

town council doesn't publish o. post
their ordinances. easS-
ous, and have proposed to our coun-
ell to publish their ordinances at their
own figures, or to publish them free,
giving as our reason that We thought
the people ought to know the Or
dinances, and i council thought the
expense Of advertising would be
condemned we would do it for moth
ing. We nave been here nearly seven
years, and two years they have adyer-
tised. One year in 1884 they paid
us $50, and another year, the next we
think, We insisted on doing it for
nothing, rather thsn for less, but
they told MS we had to charge or
they'd not give it to US, so we did it
for $3.50. The work is worth about
$125 or $3.50. Last year We tried to
get council to advertise, offering to
do the work at their own figures, but
suggested that it be given the two
papers here for $50. There was
some hitch and we could never get
counc;ss5 ssgs any aesiion: 4 year
gouncil published two annual re-
ports for the Two preceding years,
but the reports were SO condensed
that they gave practically no informa-
ton to the people.
We now publicly renew our offers:
CD To publish the ordinances and re-
ports for nothing; ~ To publish at
any price to induce them to publish
these ordinances and reports; (s) For
papers here to publish the ordi-
ices and reports for $50; ~ To do
1sny way council wants to do.
We write this article in all earnest

years doctors pronounced it a local disease,

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Doesn't Get Half a Chance to Beautify
the Buildings at Washington.
Joaquin Mier's letter.
Now have made a covenant with
mine eyes" as Job said, to not find
fault. Having in previous letters per-
suaded United States senators to keep
their big schoolboy heels down OFF the
desks; having laughed them out of the
foolish idea of going into executive
session. and clearing the galleries
merely because they wanted to smoke,
and having also banished the ever
present spittoon, or at least reduced the
annual bill for SpittOonS more than one
half, feel that have done enough for
the capitol, and that more interference
or advice might be misunderstood. But
! must pronounce against this business
this brutal custom OF scraplng down
our marble buildings as soon as they
begin to take on the dignity and come
illness of time and color.
Now, what would you think of mai.
who would go into the Dresden gallery
and give Raphaels Madonna a scrub
bling with soap and sand and ashesa Or
let us suppose the Greeks or Romans
had scrubbed and scraped their marbles
as we dOiin America How much Of
them would have been left for US to
look upon Let me tell you, for fact,
that if any man. or even any munich
pality, should attempt to scrape or scrub
building or any marble of any kind liz
Italy, why, the artistic and sensitive
Italian would simply make Rome
howl"
Why can net people who have charge
of our great structures learn little
something from those ancient states
where art first took form in marble. The
Greeks and Romans always let time and
the elements soften the outlines of their
temples, and no piece of architecture
was complete that had not been rounded
down and subdued in tone and color by
the perfecting ouch of time.
But here at Washington the build.
ings are perpetually defaced by scat
folds; and scrape, scrape, scrape. AL
the year through, and nearly every
where you lift your eyes, it is scrape,
scrape, scrape, till the noise, the dust,
the ghostly, glaring sight of the newly
scraped, and skinned, and scratched,
and mutilated columns and walls drive
you out of town.

she is in many things, knows much bet

Nature must take care of marble after
it has found its place. And the sooner
it takes tone from the elements and the
softening touch of time, the sooner it
becomes "a thing of beauty" For
what so offends the eye as this bold and
glaring and glittering white marble2

Methods of Long Range Shooting.

-
10 the general public the interest in Creed
moor was due perhaps largely to the pictur-
esque features of the contests. It was a strik-
ing novelty to see men shooting at a nearly
invisible target, and, in SO doing, getting
oto all kinds of awkward, uncouth attitudes.
lhe man who made bulls eye at 900 yards
received as much credit for his effort on ac-
count OF lying on his stomach as he did for
MS faultless aim. And on the other hand, he
who missed at the same distance had sympa-
thy mixed maybe with condemnation be-
cause he lay on his back and rested the muz-
gle of his gun on his toes. But after few
CONTESTS the novelty of the methods was of
not greater interest than the sport itself, for
people soon famiharized themselves with the
difficulties of long range shooting, they be-
heved they understood its peculiarities, and
they talked as learnedly about it as they do
now about balloon jibs and rocker keels.--
