contemporary De true there Is q mer~
chant in the French capital who has
been singularly favored by capricious
Dame Fortune under rather curious
circumstances. The paper we refer to
relates that recently a wealthy Paris
ian, a lover OF antiquities and %curiosi-
ties, purchased of the said merchant a
suit of armor for the large sum of 300,-
900 francs. or els, 900. Before it came
into the possession of its present owner
the suit OF armor had had a remark
able career. 1t belonged originally,
it is stated, to Francois |, and fell
one day into the hands of M. de
Rothschild, who bought it for $500
francs, disposing of it later on to
Lord Ashburnham for 25, 900 francs.
Years afterward the latter, in turn,
sold it to a London dealer in curiosi-
ties for 800, 900 francs, be again pass
ing it on 10 an English millionaire for
425, 900 francs. When the millionaire
died il was left unnoticed in the corner
of q lumber room, and the house, be-
ingafterward destroyed by fire, the cell
ebratcd suitofarmor was found among
the ruins and passed into the hands of
a dealer in old iron. 1t was uuearthed
in his shop not long ago by the Paris
merchant, who bought it at a merely
nominal price and cleaned and restored
il, after which be was lucky enough
to find a purchaser willing TO take il
off his hands, as has been said, for the
sum of e12, 600. So he did a remark
ably good stroke of business when he
bought it of the dealer in old won for

A Passenger Train for Columbia Almost
Wrecked.

COLUMBIA, Sept 30-A very remark
sble accident occurred this morning
on the Wilmington, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad about thirty miles
from Columbia. The train from Flor
ence due in Columbia about $50 A.
NJ, when on the trestle about a mile
west of the Camden crossing, which
leads to the Wateree bridge, ran into
tree which had been blown across
the track. The engine left the track,
but not the trestle, and dragged the
train over the crossties for q distance
of over hundred feet.
It seemed inevitable that the cars
would tumble off the trestle into the
swamp below, but by an extraordinary
and inexplicable maneuvre the train,
although it was derailed, turned to one
side and ran out on a side trestle
which had been constructed near the
bridge and afterwards filed in with
earth. When the cars tilted over
they rested on the embankment in
stead of dropping into the swamp.
The engine and two or more cars were
partly upset but not smashed, and
none on the train WAS injured. The
accident occurred between and $50
A. N. A special train from Columbia
went to the spot with promptness,
and the passengers were transferred
and brought to the city after very
short delay. The track has already
been repaired.

A Cure for the Blind Staggers.
1Narion Star.l

In the year of 1887 there were more
cases of this fell disease in horses and
mules than in any year since. In the
fall of that year so head Of horses in
Robson county, N. c., were reported
affected by this disease. At that time,
the writer, 8 lad of II years, obtained
the following prescription for the dis
ease. As soon as the attack IS discov-
cred bleed from two to four quarts;
give sixty to one hundred grains OF
calomel and fifty grains OF qaipine at
one to two hours intervals until one
hundred and fifty or two hundred
grains have been taken. Battle the
head with cool water, ice water if
possible and occasionally wetting the
topsof the head from the eyes up with
spirits turpentine. Keep the animal
as cool as possible, and in two or
three days the case will be cured.
The writer has just treated a case
for himself in this manner and the
animal is well to show for herself and
she was cured in two days. Drs. D.
F. Miles and J. E. Jarnegan assisted
me in the treatment. If you think
this statement worth room in your
valuable paper you will please publish
it for the benefit of all who may have
animals attacked with this disease in
the future. 3. W. JARSEGAN.

federate prisoners in Federal hands,

federate prisoners in Federal hands
26,436 died. According to an official
| report of Surgeon General Barnes oi
the United States army, the Federal
prisoners in Confederate hands num-
bered 270.000, and the Confederate
prisoners in Federal hands num-
bered 100000. Less than 9 per cent
of the Federal prisoners in Confeder-
ate hands died "as the result of the
treatment they received" while more
than IL per cent of Confederate pris-
oners in Federal hands died from the
treatment which they received. The
Federal prisoners in the South re-
ceived the same rations of food as the
Confederate soldier in the field. The
Federal prisoner and the Confederate
soldier Jared alike in the matter of
clothing. The Confederate soldier
and the Federal prisoner died because
the Federal Government would not
allow medical supplies to be brought
into the Confederaoy, The Federal
prisoners at Andersonville passed res
olutions on September IS, 1864, and
addressed to their own Government,
in which they fixed the responsibility
where it belonged. "While allowing
the Confederate authorities all due
praise" the resolutions declare. 'for
the attention paid to our prisoners,
numbers of our men are daily con-
signed to early graves, In the prime
of their manhood, far from home and
kindred, and this is not caused By the
Confederate Gov;,nment, but by force
Of circumstances" The sscircum-
stances" referred to have already been
described. The next resolution adopt
ed by the Federal prisoners at Ander-
sonville is as follows:
"Resolued, That, whereas in the for
tunes Of war it was our lot to become
prisoners, we have suffered patiently,
and are still willing to suffer, if by so
doing we can benefit the country; but
we would most respectfully beg to
say that ne are not amllang to suffer to
further the ends Of any party or clique
to the detriment of our honor, our
families, and our country. And we
would beg this affair to be explained
to us, that we may continue to hold
the Government in the respect which
it is necessary to make a good citizen
and soldier" -
These facts have been published
over and over again. The suferings
of the Federal prisoners in the South
were the result of their heartless de-
sertion by the Federal authorities, and
not of their treatment by the Confed-
crate Government. The reflections of
the Inter- Ocean upon the South are
unmanly and untrue. The war is over,
and there is nothing in its record from
first to last, in all the great strug-
gle, Of which the South should be
ashamed.

Metropelitan fashions for Autumn.

Among the first items of interest to
the fashionables who are returning to
town are the novelties in dress goods,
especially those that are to be worn
for the street and general informal oc-
casions, for this is the portion Of 8
lady's wardrobe in which all women
are interested.
It must be confessed that there is
something wonderfully attractive in a
new and elegant stock of seasonable
dress goods, and no one who is priv
ileged to go through such an assort-
ment can wonder at the enthusiasm
that is exhausted in exclamations and
adjectives; nor is it at all remarkable
if womankind, carried away by such
delightful and beautiful things, makes
haste to secure such dresses as suit
her fancy, too often indeed without
regard for their becomingness, and
not unlikely without thought as to
whether or not they are suited to her
style, complexion, or circumstances.
It is, however, a matter of fact that
the majority of women give by far
too little attention to such matters,
but content themselves with buying
only for the looks of the material.
When goods are all, or nearly all, Of
a high order of artistic excellence,
one cannot 60 so far wrong, but in
seasons when there are eccentricities
and innovations, the practice is not at
all to be recommended.
Fine, soft, close-woven serge, dag
onal, and camels-hair are among the
leading fabrics. There are plain and
figured goods for combination cos
tunes, and mixed and plain for more
sober suits. Woolens of all grades
have brocaded or figured borders or
panels, or strips of figured design for
garniture for sleeves and waist.
There are brocadings in silk or
wool grounds showing very large
roses lilies, thistles, fruit, bouquets,
sprays, and festooned garlands OF
flowers, ferns, grasses, and foliage,
with trailing vines and thick, rough
stalks with few buds and blossoms.
These stalk or branch designs are
seen in all classes Of goods, from del
icate India silk to the heaviest mate
lasse fabrics, which are used for win
ter cloaking. i.
Another feature of autumn wool
goods is the popularity of armure
weaves of various sorts. There are
alternate stripes of armure and plain
weave, each stripe of some styles hav-
ing an independent design brocaded
over it; others showing spreading
patterns which cover the width from
selvage to selvage. Some of the
flowers are four or FIVE inches across,
being of course greatly conventional
lied, in many cases so much so that
the original character of the pattern
is altogether lost, and the so-called
flowers are like nothing known to the
most attentive student of nature.
Superb fabrics of fine wool, with
net brocading of cut and uncut velvet,
are among the novelties in the autumn
importations. York Fashion b.
zar for October.
