The Poor Czar.
New York Times.

Perhaps the strongest comment
on the present condition of affairs
il Russia is furnished by the care
tul arrangements which were
made to protect the life the Car
on his homeward journey from
Berlin to St. Petersburg. The cable
flashes the report that from Ber-
Iin to the German frontier the road
taken by the Gar was guarded by
German infantry and cavalry, so
arranged that not an inch Of the
track was beyond the sight OF a
watchful soldier. The life of the
Emperor of all the Russias is in
a foreign land, but as he approaches
his own dominions, the danger in
creases thousand fold. It turks
at every railroad station in Russia,
and may spring up at any polnt OF
the road. To guard against it
$4,000 men are patrolling the track
from the German frontier to st.
Petersburg-a large army engaged
in the one business of watching
over the safety of one of the great
est monarchs of the earth. The
humblest peasant in his broad
empire, if he has the wisdom to
keep his mouth shut, can count
with reasonable certainty on llv-
ing until death comes to him in
the due course Of nature. His
Emperor, less fortunate than the
peasant, has the reasonable GER
tainty of eventually falling, as his
father did, at the hand of an
assassin.

AN ALLIANCE BOYCOTT.
The Farm ers Seemed Determined to Shut
Spartanburg Out in the Cold.
Especial to Charleston World.


SPARTARBURG, Nov. 3-There was
meeting in this city On yesterday of
the Spartanburg County Farmers Al
lance. The attendance was large. 1t
is understood the object was to take
action on the resolution they made a
few weeks ago concerning the boycott
Of the city Of Spartanburg. They are
so bent on secrecy that your correspon-
dent was unable to get any informa-
ton as to the actions taken. It is quite
evident that they are still strong in
thes stand. There has beeR littse or
no alliance cotton sold ia the city since
the resolution to boycott, and from the
small amount sold it seems that nearly
all the farmers in the county are alli-
ance sworn. They have good hold
on the county farmers. Yesterday
their headquarters in the opera house
was crowded from morning to night
with county men pricing goods ffom
the alliance agent, Mr.. Zimmerman,
who has room fitted up; in which be
keeps samples Of goods, and when the
farmers want goods they give the order
to the agent who Immediately orders
them.
Your correspondent was informed
That store would be opened up and a
heavy and complete stock kept for the
farmers Their alliance store will pro
bably be kept in the vacant store-room
under the Merchants hotel.
It is not known whether the farmers
are holding the cotton or selling it at
some other market. But, on the terms
that they desired in this city, it is GER
tain they will never find market
here. 1t is general opinion that they
will soon come to terms, the majority
of them not being able to hold their
cotton, and the prospects of any other
market coming to their terms are very
slim.

The Curfew.
crime.

Erroneous notions have long pre-
vailed concerning the original
object of the curfew. The custom
of covering up fires about sunset in
summer, and about eight at night
in winter, is supposed to have been
introduced by William l., and to
have been imposed upon the aA-
glish as a badge of servitude ; and
it has often been quoted to show
with what severity the Conqueror
sought to press bis cruel govern.
ment even to the very fresides of
his subjects. But this opinion does
not seem to be well founded, for
there is evidence that the same
custom prevailed in France, Spain,
Italy, Scotland, and probably all
the other countries of Europe, at
this period. The curfew was in
tended as a caution against fires,
which were then very frequent and
very destructive, as so many houses
were built of wood. and of such
fires the Saxon Chronicle makes
frequent mention. Again, the cur
few is said to have been used in
England at a much earlier date
than the Conqero's reign, and by
so good a monarch as Alfred the
Great. He ordained that all the
inhabitants Of Oxford should, at the
ringing of the curfew at Carfax,
cover up their fires and go to bed ;
which custom, it is stated in Pes
hall's 'History of Oxford" " ''is OBJ
served to this day, and the bell as
constantly rings at eight as Great
Tom tolls at nine,' 1t is reasona-
bic to conclude that the Conqueror
revived or continued the custom,
which was previously established
in Normandy.
The curfew is mentioned to
late period as a common and ap-
proved regulation, which would
net have been the case had it been
originally imposed as a badge of
servituds or a law to prevent the
people from meeting at their fire.

or Use in Diphtheria and Group.

". +. White Of Chester, sends
the following, whose value he has
tested: In a report to the French
Academy of Medicine, DR.. Dietholl
stated that the vapor Of liquid tar
and turpentine would destroy the
6brinous tissues which choke up
the throat in Group and diptheria.
He described the process of treat
ment as follows: Take a teaspoon
full each of tupentine and liquid
tar; put them in tin pan or cup,
set fire to the mixture, taking care
te have a larger pan under it as
safeguard against the spread of the
flames. A dense: resinous smoke
asisas. making the room dsak. The
patient Immediately seems to ex-
perience relief; the choking and
rattle stop; the patient falls into a
slumber and seems to inhale the
the smoke with pleasure. The
fbrinous membrane soon becomes
detached and the patient coughs
up microbes, which when caught
in a glass, may be seen TO dissolve
in the smoke. In tie course of
three days the patient entirely
recovers. This remedy has proven
successful in many instances, and
householders everywhere should
bear it in mind. A prominent gen.
tleman in Charleston, who applied
the treatment to his child, after the
sufferer was given over as incura-
BILE by his family physician, sug-
gests that before burning the in
gradients named, all such articles
as would be likely to be injured by
the thick smoke should be removed
or covered up closely.

A Progressive Virginia City.

To the editor of Herald and News:
Have Won anv idea what time can do

do, but one cannot realize this awful
fact without first seeing or orexperienclng
it. Last March two years ago Went
West, as q great many young men do.
After staying out there and seeing the
veritable cow boy and his bucklng
pony. and the genuine jack rabbit, /
concluded to come back to Virginia.
What sight met my eyes when | ar
rived at Roanoke, the synonym for
success and wealth. Where were once
vacant lots, buildings were being con-
structed which would cost from $50, 900
to 500, 900. These figures may seem
TO some as exaggerated, but they are
true, for know the editor saw one OF
these buildings when he was here last
July.
Roanoke is going ahead. Only
few days ago farm was bought just
outside the city for which was paid
ST., 1000. Two furnaces are i'll full blast
and the contract for the third has been
let. A rolling mill for making iron
from the crude ore is in full operation.
The American Bridge and Iron Com
pany is working full time. and is ever
ready to make bids for bridge work,
furnaces and anything else in iron
work. The machine shops are run
ming on full time and are turning out
ears at the rate Of ten day. There
are other smaller industries doing we'll

winter and spring, spend S25,0Go put

street railway is now operating about

Notwithstanding all this seeming
prosperity it is impossible sometimes
for men to find employment. Like all
new towns and cities, the supply is
greater than the demand. Roanoke

destined IN the future to be, if not the
city, one among the first i'll the whole

sources are all here, SO there is no
reason why she should not prosper.

Another Jonah.

A story is told by Herodotus
which bears a striking resemblance
to that connected with the name OF
the prophet Jonah. Somewhat
abridged, it runs asfollows !: Arion
the Mithymnean, who in the days
Periander, King ofCornithy resided
for some time in that city, is said
to have been carried to Tenaru on
the back of a dolphin. He went to
Italy, and there acquired a large
fortune, apparently by the exercise
of his unrivalled talents as a har::
pist. Wishing to return to Cor
NTH with his wealth, he embarked
at Tarentum in q Corinthian YES
sci but as soon as they were out
at sea the sailors determined to
murder him for the sake Of his
money. Perceiving their inten-
ton, he offered them all he had to
spare his life, bit the men were de-
termined to be rid of him. Reduced
to extremity, he entreated that they
would at least allow him to put on
his most valuable dress, and also
permit him to give them speci.
men of his musical powers, prom
ising that as soon as he had finished
he would destoy himself. They
complied, retiring to the centre Of
the ship while he made his arrange
ments. Having dressed to his taste,
Arion stood with his harp upon the
side of the vessel, where he sang
them a quick, spirited song and
then leaped into the sea. The ship
pursued her course to Corinth, but
Arion, so the fable relates, was
taken up by a dolphin and carried
on it's back to Tanarus. He has
tened at once to Coriuth, and told
his strange adventure to Periander,
who would not believe him until
he was confronted by the sailors
with whom he had sailed, who,
when they say him, confessed their
crime.

law, and who, from their manner of
making known their occupation
we're recognized by the name of

the powers of memory increased
with it: ITO be sure I do.' Then
come into court and swear it? 2
And straw-shoes went into court
and swore it. Athens abounded in

''straw-shoes" still, but they do not
wear their Distinguishing mark.

solely because. in Babyfonia there
existed, by the side OF the decimal
system Of notation, another system,
the sexagesimal, which counted by
sixties. Why that number should
have been chosen is clear enough,
and it speaks we'll for the practical
sense of those ancient Babylonian
merchants. There is no number
which has so many divisors as sixty.
