Women Who Make the best Wives.

Members of Boston debating society
have almost come to blows over the
question, "What women make the
best wives? Culture was claimed by
many to be the first essential, love and
fidelity the second, and knowledge of
household duties and ability to properly
perform them, the third. None Of the
debaters, however, thought to add that
very necessary qualification health
without which wife is far from per-
fection. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Perscrip-
ton will renew the hue of youth in
pale and sallow cheeks, correct irrita-
ting uterine diseases, arrest and cure
liberation and inflammation, and issue
new vitality into a wasting body.

medicine for women, sold by druggists
under a locsitiue guarantee from the
manufacturers, that it will give salts
faction in every case, or money will be
refunded. This guarantee has been
printed on the bottle-wrapper, and
faithfully carried out for many years.

That Generous Offer.
1American Israelite,

Baron Hirsch's generous offer of So
00O,0 francs to the Russian govern
ment to establish for the Russian Jews
common schools, chronological and ag-
ricultural Institutes, etc, was not ac-
cepted by the Russian government
hence the baron can keep his 50,000,ooo
and employ the capital in another en-
terprise. The cause of Russia's refusal
to accept the donation is unknown.
The presumption is that the govern
ment does not wish to have the Jews
educated and trained in advance of the
orthodox Russians, of whom they are
already far ahead in mental abilities
and in all the ordinary trades, rs we'll
as in commerce, and advanced scholar
ship. The fact that such a generous
donation was rejected testifies again to
the barbarisnl of the Russian govern
ment and its policy to foster ignorance
and poverty among the so-called lower
classes, because dynastic and autocrat
interest want it so

The Anniversary of the Crater.
[RichmOnd Times, July 81.

Richmond Times, July 81.
A number Of middle aged citizens Of
Richmond will remember that yester-
day was the twenty-tifth anniversary
of the hottest day that the Confederate
soldier ever saw. Us far as combina-
ton of tIe weather and mans power
could work up the temperature. The
remarkable battle of the Crater opened
at daybreak with terrific explosion of
the mine that shook the earth and ech-
0ed to the heavens and back again.
Appalled, by the sudden stroke and
the destruction of the battery and q
part of the South Carolina brigade that
were blown in the air, the Confcderates
staggered back for while and the
Federal troops charged and took the
salients. The Federals pressed into the
broken lines, but the Confederatcs re-
covered themselves quickly and there
ensued one Of the most desperate fights
of the war There have been critical
discussions about this passage-at-arms,
and as to whom was due the credit of
restoring the lost battle. We are not
writing history, and only celebrate the
anniversary with one point of fact
which we can vouch for, and that is
that the Richmond Otey Battery,
commanded by Capt. David Walker,
had a good part of the work, and did it
well. The Richmond boys not only
worked their own guns, but manned a
gun of another battery that did some
of the best work of the day.
All Virginians will he glad to re-
member lfow that knightly soldier, Col.
John Haskell, Of South Carolina, dis
tinguished himself that day, as he al
ways did when the opportunity offered.
The final charge that restored the
line was made about noon by Mahone's
division.
Colonel Hillary Jones and other dis
tinguished officers of the artillery have
claimed that this famous fight was Won
by the artillery, and without pretend
ing to write history, We are inclined
to agree with that idea.
The Otey Battery boys, of Richmond,
think so and they ought to know.
ain sooth, twas an awful day."

The Bob Toombs Oak.

ATHENS, July 26.-Yesterday, during
the shower Of rain, a loud crashing
noise was heard on the campus, and
Banner reporter hastened to the
scene, expecting to find the walls ofthe
old Richardson house, which are now
BEND replastered, crumbled to the
earth. But such was not the case.
The noise was caused by the falling
of one of the large branches Of the old
Bob Toombs oak, in front of the col
lege chapel. 1t was one of the main
limbs OF the tree, which reached over
the walk beside the chapel steps, and
was the same limb that shaded the
great statesman on the occasion of his
graduating speech, from which event
he state-w0rn oak dates its name.

Madame Dis Debar, the spook priest
ess, who came SO prominently into pub
lie notice by her remarkable influence
over Luther Marsh, the astute and rich
lawyer, has now gone into retirement
which may or may not be permanent.
Her recent fat failure with Hermann
had the effect of breaking her up COM
pletely as public curiosity, though she
made occasional small sums by giving
sittings and selling pictdres painted hSr
spirit hands. With her eXtravagants
tastes, however, the few dollars that
she received in this way were entirely
insufficient to supply her wants. She
moved into fashionable neighborhood
with no better success; and was finally
turned out of her apartments on Thyfss
day last because she could not pay her
rent. Some admirer had given her
several bottles of wine, and although
she had hitherto not been alover of
strong drink, her load of trouble drove
her to seek forgetfulness in the wine.
Her actions of late had not been Of the
most gentle and amiable kind anyway,
and with the added stimulus of her POI
tations she became so untractable that
the kind friend who had taken her in
could no longer put up with her, and
insisted upon her finding other quar-
tiers. Another old believer, hearing of
her plight, look her to Brooklyn cen
vent, where she will pe cared for as
long as she chooses to stay. Only a fess
people know to what convent she has
been taken, and they refuse to say
which oneit is, as their object in send.
ing her there was to give her retreat
from the gaze and comment Of the pub
lie. Madame Dis Debar is a Roman
Catholic, and has always professed the
strongest faith in her religion. She
said that it was by means of this and
cross which she always had wita her
that she was able to command the in-s
habitants of the spirit world.

An Electric Disaster.

RICHMOND, Va, August l.-About
12.3OA. NJ. q storm broke over this
city, during which the city railway
stables, located just without the city
limits, in the west end, were struck by
lightning. The buildings took fire,
the flames spread rapidly, and before
aid arrived the entire structure was
consumed, and sixty mules and horses
were burned up. Seven street cars
were also destroyed.
The loss by the burning of the
stables is estimated at $4,000; insurance,
SAC, 500, all in foreign companies.

4 BOOM OR 4 BUBBLE.
The Vital Question Charlestonians are
Now Asking Themselves.
Especial to The Register.

CHARLEsToN, August lis it a
boom ora bubble? That's the question
that good many people in Charleston
are asking themselves at this time
anent the unheard-of number OF new
industries that are being started. The
old-timers can scarcely bring them
selves to believe what they read.
Nevertheless there must be something
at the bottom of this industrial cyclone.
The concrete facts are that q halt
dozen or more new enterprises have
been inaugurated within the past
thirty days. There is the Royal Bag
Factory, which has just doubled it's
capital; the Mutual Carpet Company,
which is said to have paid 81 per cent.
of it's capital stock since its Inaugural
ton; the mattress factory was organiz-
ed to-day, and several others already
mentioned in The Register. Then there
are two new banks inaugurated since
January last, the stock of both of which
as already quoted are 20 to IS per cent.
above par. What does all this mean?
Can it be possible that the rich men of
Charleston have at last realized that If
they expect to live and do business in
the place where they made their for
tunes, they must unload their bank
vaults, sell out some of their govern
ment bonds and invest their money in
enterprises that will give the thousands
of their struggling fellow-citizens a
chance to live and to feed their wives
and children? 1t would look So al
though as yet the names Of none of
these millionaires appear on the board
lists Of the new enterprise. There are
to-day in this city at least 5000 idle
men and boys fit to work, and upon
| them depend at least $4,000 womenand
| children. How do they live? No one
knows Think Of what the inaugura-
ton of a score or more ofsinall factories
| would do for these-thirk of the effect
upon the city if these 5000 idle but
willing workers were given employ
ment. Is it boom or a bubble? The
question is a vital one for Charleston,
A COTTON OIL REFINERY.
An application for a charter for the
| Charleston Cotton Oil Refinery was
| forwarded from here to-day. The capital
stock is to be s2OO,OOO, and the origi-
nators have already secured site on
the water front and the promise of all
the money needed. An opportunity,
however, will be afforded all the in
dependent cotton seed oil mills in the
State to subscribe and become inter
ested in the enterprise. The company
grew out of the needs of the oil mills in
the State outside Of those controlled by

| THE CHAUTAUQUA SCHEME.
The Register correspondent has been
at some pains to investigate the rumors
| that have been published here as to
the inauguration of a summer chau'
tauqua on Sullivan's Island next year.
He is unable to divulge the names OF
the promoters of the enterprise, but he
has undoubted evidence chat bona
fde effort is being made to accomplish
it, and that affairs have progressed 80
| far that the association is now trying
to purchase a lot on the island where.

THE QUIET OBSERVER.
Conclusions Forced on Him by Conteln-
plating the Lives OF His SeiGhbors.


Where do worthless men and women
come from?
From worthless homes.
This is probably the best direct an
swer that can be given to this compre-
hensive query, says the Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette.
Badly reared children develop into
worthless men and women. This is the
rule. The exceptions either way are
not numerous.
Occasionally you find boy or girl
IN respectable family whose instincts
are low and whose tastes are inclined
to be vicious. These are the "black
sheep" They are not uncommon even
in the best families.
Is there any necessity for these being
black when all the others are white?
In some instances there is, because
some children are born with very, low
order of moral sense just as some are
born with very low order of intelli-
gence.
The greater number of wicked and
immoral men and women. are such be-
cause of defective training rather than
because of inherent depravity. They
have not had the advantage Of an en-
vironment calculated to develop their
better natures.
This should be sufficient to show the
necessity of rearing children in such ?
way as to encourage the development
of the moral faculties as we'll as the
mental. This will afford the surest pro-
lection to society against crime and
immortality.
How many Of those who are inter
ested in providing for neglected chill
dren in foreign countries ever think of
+ those at home who are really in more
deplorable condition than those who
are engaging their attention
WHAT'S to be done about it,
One way is for society to take charge
of every homeless child and provide fol
its environment that will tend to de,
velop its better qualities.
Who are homeless?
All who are without the means OF
proper education and training. A
house and parents do not constitute
home in it's true sense.
Let society take charge of all the
clrildrep that are not properly trained
whether they have parents living OF
not. twill be cheaper in the end than
to allow them to grow up in wicked
mess until maturity, and then board
them in Jail or workhouses. Besides
Ibis will decrease the number of Grim
inafassc nd the amount of crime, and in
the samsSstio improve society.
SomethingS IN be done by improv'
ing homes, buSaaas a rule those who
have gone so far as to settle down tc
living careless. immoral lives, are al
most hopeless. They regard their chill
dren as accidents, and have no care fol
them beyond keeping them in fooo
and clothing: until they are able to take
care of;themselves.
What can you expect from Il home
the atmosphere Of which is reekine
with profanity and vulgarity? You
would be surprised to find purity anc
refinement coming from it. These are
two of the most desirable qualities ir
men and women. Without them so
c;ety would go to sticks in short order
They distinguish the civilized from the
unciviliZed.

NoRRIsToN, July 30.-Something OF
sensation was createdin Grand Army
of the Republic circles here last week
by the refusal of the Montgomery Gem
etery Company to- permit the inter-
ment of the body Of colored veteran
who died in the aims house. The de-
ceased was Henry Johnson, late of the
Sd United States colored troops. His
death occurred at the aims house a few
days after he had been put there. Zook
Post was requested TO- attend to his
burial and consented to do so, and their
undertaken directed the sexton ofthe
cemetery to dig grave 10 the lot do
mated by the cemetery company for
the gratuitous interment ofindigent eS-
soldiers. The sexton reported the
matter to an official of the cemetery
company, who objected to the mans
burial there. This action, of course,
created no little feeling amongst the
old veterans, who referred to the fact
that family had been allowed to bury
| their dog in the family lot in the Gem
etery. When seen this morning the
cemetery official explained his course
by saying that, inasmuch as the lot
had been donated, he thought the
managers ought to be. consulted before
burying colored man there. "If," ne
said, 1.-The veterans thought 80 much
of Johnson, they should not have
sent him to the aims house, but should
have found place for him at some
soldiers home" This explanation, it
is thought, will satisfy the belligerents,
and peace will reign over the body OF
the colored preserver of the Union.
