THE use of hickory pick-handle by strong and able bodied jailor to quiet the boisterous actions of drunken prisoner within the county jail. does not meet with the cordial appreciation of the people of Florence, and the general sentiment is expressed that it was an outrage that demands the most searching and impartial in- vcstigation. Had the club been wield- ed with equal effect outside of the jail in overcoming resistance to arrest, there would exist some excuse for the deed, but to strike down an unarmed and absolutely defenceless prisoner within the jail, under any pretext save in the defense of life, is abhorrcnt to the civilization of the present age and cannot be regarded as other than brutal and cowardly. The circum- stance of this kind, detailed elsewhere, has aroused q strong localindignation, and public sentiment condemns the act as cruel and unnecessary. The people properly hold the sheriff re- sponsible for the acts of his subordi- hates and his disregard of the public interests by the retention of assistants so unfitted for the responsibilities of the office is severely commented upon, particularly since he has left his affairs in their hands and gone 10 the mountains for q season of recreation.

Copper Kettles Bad.

Cider is turned into vinegar upon ex- posture to the air, by the oxygen gas in the air, which unites with, or oxidizes the alcohol, changing it into acetic acid, of which vinegar is only weak solution. Pickles are colored green by boiling in a copper kettle, because the vinegar unites with the copper, forming green colored salt, similar to verdigris As this color ing matter is unwholesome and poison ous, the practice is not one to be recom- mcndeu.- boston Budget.
