The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1889-10-30

Dean-afterwards Archbishop
Trench, in his instructive and inter-
esting work on ''The Study of Words"
derives our word sincere" from the
Latin, "sine cera," without wax
with reference to pure or strained
honey. The poets, of course, soon
gave the term and its derivaties
the secondary fgurative meanings
which are now commonplace, while
the original Specification has become
obsolete. Only a shoemaker could
close letter with "Yours, without
wax" nor could he do this sincerely,
unless his wax had waned.
There was novel spectacle in the
city Yesterday, and it attracted con-
siderable attention on account OF its
uniqueness. A white man, wearing a
white hat and white suit of clothes,
drove two white horses; the wagon
contained four bales of white cotton,
wrapped in snowy white cotton bag
ging; and at the moment it turned the
corner of College street on its way to
the cotton platform, some one ex-
claimed, "What remarkable coinci-
dence," and pointed to two red-head-
ed women on the opposite side of the
street.-Charlc:te Chronicle.
It has been said, and it is probably
true, that no other tract of land sixty
miles square in the world contains so
many natural wonders as Yellowstone
park. The park, indeed, might be
bit of land from some other planet,
pieced into our earth, so far as resem-
blance to any other locality is con-
cerned. The canyon of the Yellow
stone river is thousand feet deep,
and the stream plunges into it over a
precipice 800 feet high. The time
will undoubtedly come when the Yel-
lowstone Will be one of the greatest
health resorts on the globe. The gey-
sers or boiling mineral springs are the
most wonderful feature. Some of the
large ones hurl water to height of
800 feet. When the silica and other
minerals held in solution crystalline,
orange, yellow and red tints of almost
unearthly brilliancy appear. Scien-
lists have decided that the Yellowstone
wonders were produced by volcanic
action. Volcanic fires fan below the
surface of the earth heat the waters of
underground streams into steam. In
seeking to escape the steam hurls the
mud and water out with it.
The Neac York Tines Of Thursday
says: Zone of the topics that was
much discussed by politicians yester-
day was Governor Hills speech to the
Convention of Young Mems Demo
cratic Clubs on Tuesday, and partic-
ularly that part that eulogized Mr.
Cleveland and his Administration. 4
prominent Tammany man explained
it as shrewd politics. 1t IS only since
the Governors return f,om his South
ern trip, he said, that we have heard
him speak in complimentary terms of
Mr.. Cleveland. He is now playing
deep and shrewd politics. His South
ern visit has expanded his ideas. He
found, to his regret, that Mr.. Cleve-
land is infinitely stronger now, not
only in the South but throughout the
country, than he ever was before. This
is political brick wall that the Gov
ernor recognizes, and against which
he is reluctant to knock his head. So
he resorts to dissimulation, and to
insincere and turgid encomiums of
Mr.. Cleveland. His remarks are just
one year too late. They can't benefit
Mr.. Cleveland and they can't hurt
Hill. The sham is too Aimsy not to
he 2iscerned at once.
