The strange thing about the splenic
fever that was reported to be killing cat
tie by the thousands in the Indian Terri
tory is that it disappeared as suddenly as
it was reported to have appeared. This
is not the way splenic fever acts. 1t
generally hangs on killing cattle day after
day until the frost comes. 1t was the
frost of investigation that killed it this
season.

PHOSPHATE BEDS.
SOUTH CARoLINA's DEPOSITS OF LIFE.
GIVING ROCKS.

SOUTH CARoLINA's DEPOSITS OF LIFE
GIVING ROCKS.
The phosphate beds of Charleston, S.
c., have proved of grea. value to the
place, and they have more than COM
pensated for the gradual loss of the
cotton trade which has gone largely to
the cities north or to Savannah on the
south. These beds and the great
"Ashley fish basin" are the most Won
lerful and inexplicable formations
known to geologists. The deposits
consist of nodules of phosphate of lime,
thickly inter persed with the huge bone
and teeth Of an tediluyian mammalian
and marine mammoths of gigantic pro-
portions. The mastodons, giant balloons,
prodigious gorillas, lizards thirty three
feet long, and other huge graminivor-
GUS and carnivorous quadrupeds lying
in the same bed with briny leviathans,
voracious marine vultures and other
monsters of the deep. The beds have
been styled by Agassiz as the greatest
curiosity of the world" and they con-
stitute by far the most valuable fertili-
zer known to man since the exhaustion
of the Peruvian guano deposits. That
they are an almost in-exbaustible source
of wealth TO the whole state may well
be Judged, and thousands of people
are engaged in getting the fertilizers
to market. The amount of trade in
phosphate rock in Charleston amounts
to several million dollars year, and it
is increasing steadily year by year as
the demand for the fertilizers becomes
more general throughout the world
The deposits underlie vast region OF
the country, thirty miles wide and sew
enty miles in length.

this great deposit and in their estima-
tion of the quantities Of rock contained
in the deposit. The rock forms the
bed of many rivers leading to the ocean,
and crops out of the land ut many
points. The river deposits are mined
with crowbar, pick and dredges. The
land rock is excavated with pick and
shovel and it is found in seam rang
ing III thickness from three TO thirty
inches at a depth of about ten feet be-
low the surface of the ground. The
country in which the rock is found is
generally level, and the soil is soft and
moist. The rock is sounded for by a
long, sharp pointed steel rod, When
rock is struck from six to ten feet be-
low the surface test pit is sunk TO as
certain the thickness of the stratum
and to find if the rock will analyze up
to the standard.
From the mines the rocks are h1nl-
ed in dumping ears to the washers
The rock Is here crushed into pieces Of
uniform size. 1t then falls into troughs
or tubs resting on an incline. In each
of these tubs an octagonal shaft, cased
in iron and set with blades or fiukes,
revolers, which turns the rock around
and forces it out Of the tubs upon
screens. While in the tubs it is SUBJ
iected to continuous and powerful
stream of water which cleans it of all
foreign matter.
There are sixteen companies now en-
gagged in mining the land rock, with a
joint capital of about $2,00O,O00. The
production of these mines averages
about 100000 tons of rock year This
industry has been the bedrock of
Charleston life for many years, and
now it seems all along the coast the
perennial fruits of the earth, which in
themselves are things of beauty, win
become as valuable in commercial
sense as the fe-giving rock which has
been vitalized by the decaying bones
of antediluvian monsters. Side by
side with the rivers and fields which
furnish forth phosphate rock are the
broad savannas and low-lying islands
where melons, cabbages, asparagus,
potatoes and strawberries flourish
abundantly. Large quantities of these
products are shipped north every year.

An excellent old couple had, through a
long life of bard labor and close econ.
omies, accumulated competency for
their old age.
The responsibility Of the large farm
became too great for their advanced
years, so much trusted son-in- Law
was placed at the head of affairs. This
arrangement lasted for while, and
then the same transaction Of the form
er instance was enacted, the whole
property being transferred to the
daughter and her husband, and in re-
turn the old people were to be cared
for while they lived. Soon after this
the old father died For number of
years the aged mother lived with her
daughter, according to the stipulation,
then the daughter died, leaving the
mother dependent on the son-in law.
The mans true nature then asserted it
self.
There are people who are seemingly
honest, whose regulations are good
but like Pecksniff Of Chuzzlewit fame.
their true characters are never known
until some peculiar circumstances or
condition of life calls for action that
will be a test Of their real natures. It
was SO with this man. When he found
himself the legal owner of all the prop
erty, and absolute power vested in his
decisions, it was astonishing the greed
and selfshness that he manifested
The old mother was made to suffer
great privations, many of the comforts
to which she had always been accus-
toned being withheld from her. Ere
long he married again and the feeble
old woman was i'll his way. Finally
her prosecutions became unbearable.
and she was compelled to seek refuge
in the home of relative. She saw
the dear old home and all of its belong
ings, the result of hers and her hus-
bands life of toll, the property of one
who unjustly owned it, while she was
a mere pauper in life.
The love of money is one of the
strongest passion in the human mind.
For it men will commit the most ter
rible crimes, life will be hazarded. fear
ful risks be run; and the fear of
neither the gallows nor the grave will
stay the hand that is itching for gold.
Occasionally filial love and sense of
duty are stronger than the desire for
money. Where such is the case old
parents may safely trust their future
to the care of son or daughter. But
human nature is too weak and life too
uncertain for feeble old person to
take the risk of placing the means for
comfort and independence beyond his
control. When sons and daughters
urge old parents to abdicate their prop
erty rights in their favor in return for
care given them, it may be safely con-
strued that the love for gain is strong
er than filial affection.
There is nothing more pathetic in
life than feeble, dependent old per
son, whose subsistence is grudgingly
given by hard hearted. penurious rela-
tives. 1t is fate from which every
human being might pray to be exemp-
ed. And when old people possess
property which is the result of their
own labor they should keep it in their
control that they may be independent
of hard, selfish world during the
mental and physical infirmities of old

GOING TO LAW.

Law has been called . luxury, but
surely more with a view to its cost
than to the pleasure men can derive
from resource to il. Save in very ex-
| ceptional cases-such as the settlement
Of great question of principle i'll
which whole classes may be involved,
and in which the parties to the case
are really representative individuals,
through which circumstance personal
bias or animosity is largely removed
from them-law is the resort OF the
foolish and imprudent. In nine
cases out of ten Of mere litigation,
narrow mindedness and l-temper have
much to do with it, and, once in the
| whole machinery seems contrived, by
a hundred little articles, to fan the
flame rather than to ally it. We CRATE
fully remember, as relief to the de-
pressing story Of what We may call
legal hunger, the case of Mr.. Thomas
Brassey, who, in all his long experience
as contractor, engaged in the most
extensive and complicated transactions,
only once allowed himself to be led in
to a lawsuit, and that, he tells us, was
in the case of Spanish railway in
which unfortunately, he had partner
who would not rest satisfied without
recourse to law on some point in dis
pute. Mr.. Brassey declared that he
would not enter on another lawsuit in
any circumstances whatever; his conyic-
ton being that, even il you won your
case. 1t would not repay you for the
loss of temper and of peace OF mind,
the strength taken from your business,
and the general disarrangement in
your affairs consequent OH such pro-
cess.
Sir Walter Scott, who knew well
what going to law means, being him
self lawyer, has embodied for us the
passion for law which grows with what
it feeds on in the person of Peter Pee
bles; and Charles Dickens in nothing
showed more humor and more sympa-
thy than in his most graphic pictures
of the characters who, like ghosts,
haunted the old Chancery Courts in
London. And George Eliot in the mill
on the Floss we'll illustrates the alb
sorbing power of the law mania, even
on minds otherwise so strong and
healthy as that of Mr.. Tulliver:
"'W hat want, you know, said Mr.
Tulliyer; what want is TO give Tom
