much money before and he felt good. Hi

more in fnery for them. He boughta fan.

It would be strange il paralysis should

In Harrisburg there is said to be girl
suffering from facial paralysis who has en-
ployed her jaws SO constantly in gum chew

member OF the fanny sets it right
1t is not generally known that one Of the
most distinguished and beautiful women in
Washington society suffers great annoy
ance from occasional facial paralysis, which
she attributes to the habit OF chewing gum
acquired at school.
Just now when the voice Of woman is
heard in politics, on the platform and from
the hustlings, it would be sad should the
onward progress Of the sex be stayed by
the paralysis Of chewing gum.

Justice Yields a Partial Seep:re.

The Columbia Register of Tuesday contains
an account of difficulty which occurred in
that city on Monday afternoon between Capt.
". 3. Lowrance and John Bauskett. Esq,
United States Commission in which Baus-
kett used pistol and an innocent by-stand-
er came near losing his life. But it IS the
same old story. The Register says: The
whole affair is most regretable one; and it
is matter for congratulation thai Ire con-
sequences were not more serlcrS. At last
accounts no arrests had been maze, and no
complaint lodged With the police by either
party to warrant one"
# neither of the gentlemen involved wish
to make charge, the grand jury of Rich
land county should certainly i'm estlgate the
matter When a poor negro is found with a
pistol, or razor, in his pocket he is sent TO
iail, charged with carrying concealed weap-
ons; but here We have United States Com
missioner, in cur capital city, in sight Of
the State House. under our boasted demo
cratic government, with a deadly weapon IN
his pocket and ready to use i. on the slight
est provocatlon.
What is our State government coming to:
When has a man with money and political
influence been punished in South Carolina:
Are our State laws made and executed for
the protection Of gentlemen $50 called) and
for the punishment Of poor men and ne
groes? If the grand jury OF Richland county
does not sift this matter to the bottom, and
bring John Bauskett, Esq, to justice for
carrying pistol (if for nothing else) every
man Oh it will be false to his oath. The
sooner few such men are made to suffer
the extreme penalty OF the iaw, the soone,
the reprehensible practice of carrying con
cealed weapons will be broken up.
/ We shall watch this case with much inter
| est to see if the gentlemen Of the jury
have backbone enough to do their duty

Food That Nav be Taken With the Fingers

A: an official dinner a few nights ago {,
distinguished society belle from New York,
one of Mc!\llister's four hundred, was Oh
served to handle the wing of a chicken with
her fingers and afterward daintily nlbDlc a
"drumstick" the same way without the use
of knife or fork Some of the Cabinet and
administrati on ladies', only one Of whom
belongs to the four hundred, marvelled al
this and thought it showed ''lack of breed
ing" The one authority, Mrs. Whitney re-
marked that the action of the young lady
was ip perfectly good form.
The list Of things that can be eaten from
the fingers is on the increase. 1t includes
all bread toast, tarts and small cakes, celery
and asparagus, when served whole, as It
should be. either hot or cold lettuce, which
must be crumpled in the fingers and dipped
in salt or sauce; olives, TO which a fork
should never be put any more than knife
should be used on raw oysters; straw-ber-
ries, when served with tie stems on, as
they should be, are touched TO pUlveriZcd
sugar; cheese in all ferns except Bric OF
Roquefcrt or Cumbefort, and fruit CT all
kinds, except preserves and melons. The
latter should be eaten with SDooC or FORK.
IN the use OF TIE fingers greater indulge
is being shown, and you caaI2t, If you arg
well bred, make any very bad mistake in
this direction, especially when the finger

President Cleveland sent to the
Senate last Saturday the nomination
Of Ex-Governor Hugh S. Thompson,
to be one of the civil service commits
sioners, in place of Alfred P. Edger-
ton, who was removed because the
President did not think he exhibited
sufficient interest in and sympathy
with the civil service methods. It is
hoped that the Senate will confirm
She nomination, but it is possible that
body, which has Republican maj ior-
ity, will refuse to do so, and by wait
ing month, give to Harrison the
privilege of filing the vacancy. Mr..
Edgerton, it is claimed, will stoutly
contest for reappointment to the po-
sition. The Presidents letter re-
moving Mr.. Edgerton was brief and
to the point, consisting Of but one
sentence: ssYou are hereby removed
from the Office of civil service com
missioner" The President is very
anxious to leave Gov. Thompson II
q good and permanent position. Gov
Thompson, It win be remembered, re-
signed the governorship of South
Carolina, in order to accept the posi-
non of first assistant secretary Of The
treasury.

W. J. Whipper, the negro, who in the
days of good stealing was IN Associ ate JUS
tice Of Soutl. Carolina and lately Judge Of
Probate for Beaufort county, is now in Jail.
He has been imprisoned ostensibly for con-
tempt of court, in refusing to deliver to his
successor in office, the books and record, Of
the Probate Court. He has issued q long
winded proclamation to his dusky party in
which be claims that his successor was not
legally elected and therefore has nc right to
the books and records of the Office. But it
is stated from Beaufort that the truth is he
Las been consistently at the Republican
game of stealing. The books and records
are said to be in q shocking state, showing
that he has Systematically robbed every estate
that has been brought into his court. His
Irregularities, outrages and stealings are of
great magnitude, and must involve him in
numerous prosecutions. Hence his will
1ingness to go to Jail under the charge Of
cortempt, rather than submit to the expos
IRE of his crimes, and meet the punishment
he knows to be inevitable.

4 Traretiy OF Errors,

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The Daily Nesrs to-day

dated Tuesday:
Tie following are believed to be the cir
cumstances under which the death of the
Austrian Crown Prince took place: 4 beau
tiful young Baroness, not tall, but rather
dark, and Of lively disposition arrived at
Meyerling and took up her quarters at the
gamekeeper's house, not far from the castle.
No one knew of her being there except the
gamekeeper and his wife. At midnight
when the Crown Prince had bidden his

forester already equipped for the mornings
chase, went to the house to ask the game
keeper about details Of instructions on some
doubtful question.
He knocked loudly at the door and a win
dow opened and a man jumped out aud ran
away. The forester aimed and fired. The
fugitive fell, and when the forester walked
who had tainted. The shot had gone ln;o
his shoulder. The forester called for help,
and with another man carried him into the

Then the Crown Prince came to and was
taken by his own orders to the castle, where
his valet began to ask anxious questions
The Crown Prince said impahently: 81

The valet went out reluctantly, and the
Crown Prince locked the door and commit
ted suicide before mirror. The Baroness

A Plea for HarYinS Railroad.

SUMMERToN, Feb. ia day or two ago
8 petition was shown US, emapatlng from
Manning, the object of which was to pre-
sent to the Grand Jury the railroad run
ming out from that town parallel to the
road leading westward, as q nuisance, and
have it as such abated.
Surely the good people of the town are
acting hastily and inconsiderately, bei2 8
lead by impulse into condemnation Of one
Of the most important enterprises 1t has ev-
er had, and which if accomplished, would
result in great financial loss to its author.
Manning owes as much to Scott Earvin as
any other man who has ever lived there
To the manor born, he has given all his
| splendid energies to the building MP of his
native place--Snher inaustrionS energetic,
| scrupulously exact in all his business rela-
tions, he to-day is an example worthy the
imitation of all our young men. Manning
does not seem to know when she has good
thing. IF she is too small place for Scott
Harvin, why Summerton will welcome him
| with oper arms, aad let him build her brick
kilns, run saw mills, grist mills, gins, and
build all the railroads he wants.
# it was wrong to let him build the road
where it is, it will be doubly a wrong now
to make him move it. Two wrongs do
not make right" Speaking for great
many people here, Twill say that whenever,
during our past relations with Manning,
we have been compelled, laboriously to un-
dertake a trip there we have been always
obliged to 60 FIVE miles further than we
ought, and the Rarvin Railroad will not
impose much heavier burden upon US;
for, by going only mile further out CT the
way, We can get there and not come in col
ision with the railroad either, and We pro-
pose to continue our occasional visits if we
have to take the Wilson's road
For years we have been trying to get a
public road to the county seat In starting
| from here we have three routes, one for
some miles in the direction of Sumter, the
other towards Nelson's Ferry, points dia-
metrically opposite. and neither in any way
leading towards our destination. The
third route is through the woods, no road
at all, but where we really ought to have
one. But we have not as yet been consid-
cred of sufficient importance to be granted
this boon.
No, our idea is that the public road that
has been injured should citself condemn.

Illness of Senator Rhame, all the
cases in which he is interested have
been continued. Court will adjourn
