A CRUEL PRACrIcAL JOKE PERpETRATED
IN CHARLEsToN.-Charlest s. c., Nov. 81.
"A practical joker, with vicious tendencies,
created quite a sensation here to-day. The
Palmetto Dime Savings Bank, the only dime
savings bank in the State, was found this
morning with huge red seal posted on its
front door. Most Of the retail merchants on
King street do business with the bank, and
hundreds Of children, clerks and poor people
deposit their savings there. The news
spread like wild fire that the bank had
failed, and the excitement was intense until
1t was asccrtained that the red seal was
practical joke.
1t has been learned that the fend who
perpetrated the joke has tried it before.
No less than ak King etrsst storos have been
posted with the bogus rcd seal within the
past reehonths. The victims of tho red
seal hend had meeting to-day and engaged
detective to hunt out the Joker. They
have also offered reward for his capture

IMPORTANT LEGAL QUESTION DEcIpED.-
Judge Presley made an important decision
on the question Of interest and usury at the
late term Of Lancaster Court. This point
was made before him: That when notes and
mortgages bore interest at the rate Of 10 per
cent. per annum, with tho interest payable
semi-annually, the contract. was obnox-
ions to the statute which prohibits usury,
and that the makers Of the notes and mort
cages werc entitled to the claim of discount
under the statute for double the amount of
the semi-annual payments Of interest,
The Judge decided that he saw no error
in the fact that the interest was made pay
able semi-annually at 10 per centum per an
mum; that he himself had often drawn con-
tracts the same way in Charleston, and that
sometimes he had made the interest payable
quarterly, and that he had never heard OBJ
jections raised to such contracts. He sus-
tanned the form Of the notes and mortgages
and held that they were not usurious. Those
notes and mortgages belonged to the European
companies.

Be Careful of Baby.

The throwing of baby into the air and
catching him again is always risky prac'
tice, certain though the tosser may be OF
his quickness of eye and sureness of hand.
A sudden and unexpected movement OF the
child in his midair flight may result in
cruel fall.
A gay young father snatched up his baoy
boy one morning and tossed him 70 the
ceiling Twice the little fellow went flying
through the air and came down safely into
the waiting arms. The third time the ex-
cited child gave spring OF delight as hiS
fathers hands released him, plunged for
ward, and, pitching over his father shoui-
der, fell head downward to the Loor When
the poor baby came out OF the stupor In
which he lay for hours, it was found that,
although no bones were broken, the brain
had sustained an in ury that would IN all
probability render the child an imbecile.
Another baby snatched from the floor and
tossed into the air received d fatal wound
in the top Of the head from the pointed ORR
ament of chandelier. Still another child
slipped between her fathers hands as he
caught at her in her downward Hight, ana
although his frcnzied grasp on the babys
arm saved her from falling the ground IL
wrenched the muscles and sinews so cruel
