Laura Bridgman recently died in So.
Boston aged about 60 years. Her life
was remarkable. When about two
years old she lost all her senses except
that of touch, thus her contact with the
outside world was narrowed down to a
pretty fine point. Her mind was quite
clear The object was to bring it into
contact with the outside world She
went to the Perkins institution for the
blind and was put under a course Of dis
cipline, the outcome of which was that
she learned to read, write, knit and
sew and could entertain visitors. She
was uncomplaining, cheerful, interested
in the affairs of the world. Her case
was unlike any other Of which we ever
heard, and shows what patience and
perseverance can accomplish under the
most untoward circumstances.

OUTRAGEOUS BRUTALITY.
A DAKOTA FARMER WAITED UPON
BY A BAND OF WHITE GAPS.
They Force q Confession, Put Chain
About His Neck and Lock 1t, Threaten
Him With Death, Burn His House and
Drive Him Away.

DoLAND, d. T., March ll.-Antoine Bel
anger came to Raymond yesterday morn
ing much bruised, and with a chain fas-
tened about his neck with paddock. He
said at his home, about twenty miles north
of Doland Saturday night that no was
aroused from bed by noise at the barn.
On going TO the barn door five men masked
with white caps, rushed upon him with
drawn revolvers and guns, and put the
chain on his neck and also a rope, and
raised him twice to a joist OF the barn,
threatening to kill him il he did not con-
fess he burned his neighbours building last
fall. He then, to save his life, confessed.
They then tied his his bands behind, and
bllndiolded him and took HIM TO the
house, broke the furniture. and poured
kerosene over everything. They took his
money, and loaded him and his trunk into
his wagon behind his team. Two men on
horseback with drawn revolvers followed
him eastward nine miles into the hills,
promising him death on his return, while
the other three reduced his house to
ashes. He says he knows them all and
officers are now after the men he has
named. He disclaims any knowledge oil
how his neighbours fire originated.

CAN'T TAX DRUMMERS.
An Ordinance that was Fatally De-
fective, and Which Did Not Come
in GunshOt Range Of the Subject.

Mr.. John Rughemer, q merchant taylor of
Charleston, came to Abbeville oh September
and G5deTs re- maSsy by ia sa%Rs Ssres or
ton. On the next day when he was about
leaving town the Town Marshal demanded Of
him licience tax of S5. MIR. Rugheimer OBJ.
Marshal to see The Intendant He did SO, and
offered to give bond. The Intendant declined
to accept thesecurity and Mr.. Rugheimer re-
fused to pay the tax and was arrested. he
then paid under protest and took receipt In
" hich 1t was stated that he woul d sue the
Council and test their right TO charge this
license. He then sued the Council for the
IS. The Council defended on the ground that
and the license tax lad been collected by
authority OF an ordinance passed Decemher
q, 1888, and still OF force. The case was tried
before NJ. P. DeBruhl. Trial Justice, on yes
terday.
on the trial 1t was shown that Mr.. Rug
heimer was merchant taylor OF Charleston
That he travelled for his own house aud look
orders for clothes, by sample, TO be made In
Charleston, but never carried or sold any
goods. The ordinance under which the tax
was collected was put In evidence In the
shape OF q printed slip taken from newspn.
per. I, had not been recorded and did not
have the corporate seal attached.
The charter OF the town authorizes the
Council 10 require u license tax OF all ped
dlers and actoners. The Trial Justice dccld-
ed that the Council had no power under It's
charter to require license tax of travelling
statesmen, selling by sample for established
houses, and that Mr.. Rughe;mer is not ped
dler and not liable for such tax, and further
that the ordinance imposing this tax Is void,
not being authorized by the charter, and void
also because the corporate seal was not afiiX :
ed to 1t and 1t was not passed and recorded as
required by the charter.

The good crops and the high prices have

Iq2IYN Loss.

A gentleman flom Donalds estimates tha:
the loss TO the cotton men at DOnaids-wi u a.
tempted big sale in one day-at betwecn
$1,000 and 81 100. lie came TO this conclusion
by calculating the difference in price which
they were offered for the whole lot, and the
prices at which they afterward rctaiIcd it.
The loss was occasioned because of the dc.
lay in selling and the constant fall in price OF
cotton.
The'loss which this county has sustained in
holding back cotton has been something
The Press ana Banner advised selling rs carly
rs possible, but Mr.. Terrell and some OF his
followers advised the pllnters to hold thcil
cotton for later developments.
When men, from patriotic motives, surren
der their own judgment TO the advice of any
corporation, shouldn't that corporation make
good the loss, which its members have su..
tined? We believe some Of the shrcwdes.
or their number acted on their own juGg.
ment, and sold their crops for about one cent
pound higher than their more confiding
neighbors can now sell their crop.
Now, as many poor men have followed the
dictation of the Alliance, is it anything bul
fair that the Alliance, and the richer broth
ren, together with those who have sold their
cotton at high prices, should make up at least
part OF the loss of those who have strictly
obeyed the directions of the Alliance.
The Press and Banner Is not particularly in
terested in this matter, but it really seems
that the burdens Of fighting the jutc trus,
should be borne somewhat equally. There
are many conscientious mcn who have
followed the Alliance plans strictly, and il
seems hard that they should be made to
suffer more than the brethren who sold thelr
cotton for big price. Let the burden bca.
equally, and let this be not the poor mans
fight in which be alone is TO suffer.
Believing that the Alliance will deal fair
~ Win all its members, is 1t anything but
just that lis poor members, who have fol-
lowed the advice Of their richer and more in
fuential brethren, should now be reimbursed
for their loss?
The loss OF 81 or S. n bale is q serious mat
ter Win poor man, who has Il big family to
support but IT would be small matter to the
whole club-wh!ch numbers so many incn
VINO arc able to help their poor brethrcn-if
the loss was made up to those who hayc lost
by following Mr. Tcrrell's alliance.
