WAKING UP.

There seems to be some humanity left In
South Carolina. The governor of the State
has offered reward of 5000 head for the
arrest and conviction of the white men who
broke into Barnwell Jail and butchered the
eight negro prisoners and witnesses. He has
offered reward of $500 for the arrest end
conviction of the white man who took q
negro prisoner away from the Barnwell con-
stable, drove him into the woods, tied him
to tree, prayed with him at great length,
and then shot the top of his head off. About
both these atrocities his excellency has ex-
pressed himself in terms of regret and indig-
nation. So, too, the leading Democratic
newspaper Of the State, the Charleston News
and Courier, has denounced the perpetrators
of tho crimes with unsparine severity, and
demanded that no pains be spared to bring
them to justice. "The time has fully Gomez
1t said, ''for South Carolina to prove to the
world and to itself that murder is not. one of
the recognized institutions of this State and
acceptable to It's people. Let as not mock
ourselves longer with pretenses and asser-
tions of law-abiding and God-fearing
spirit. We must rid the community of the
brutes and iends who dwell among us, or
divide the responsibility for their crimes
with them, and be ranked with them"
This is the right kind of talk. Action in
harmony with it will help to restore the sad
ly damaged reputation of the State.

THE NEXT WAR.

Much interest is felt by military men and
those who keep track of warlike inventions
in the next war. It is expected that what
ever battles there are will be short and very
serious, for with the present arrangements
It will not take long for one side to annihil-
ate the other If it can got chance to do it.
Infantry can now fre twenty volleys to the
minute, and with smokeless powder can see
what they are firing at. The attacking force
would be at q disadvantage, because they
could not, while in motion, FIRE 30 rapidly or
20 accurately. Soldiers exercised in target
practice In various forms become capable Of
hitting an object of the size of q man pretty
certainly at the distance Of twelve hundred
yards. or nearly three quarters of mile.
But, IL at the distance of half mile, only
enc shot In ten reaches 1t mark, their fire
would be more deadly that any hitherto
known in battle, and no troops could endure
It. The last half mile over open ground
would be impossible even If the ordinary
magszine guns only were used, and few
Gatling guns we'll managed would make q
clean sweep.
At first sight It seems 30 plain that 1t will
not pay to fight with the new weapons that
one might almost expect that there would be
no more fighting. But some way will doubt
less be found to carry on war. People who
must fight will be ingenious enough to find
some way to do 1t.

Says clergyman who hes worked In New
York city for many years ~ missionary:
As every one knows. the young tough Of this
city is pretty hard to reclaim. Nevertheless,
have seen many Of them give up their evil
courses and become excellent citizens. You
will doubtless be surprised when tell You
how know when tough has crossed the
Rubicon, 80 to speak, into the world of de-
cent people. As soon as he begins to say
fourth instead of tfourt,' have no longer
any doubt Of his reformation. II Is shib-
boleth that invariably indicates moral rev.
olution. The inability to pronounce the
sound of 'th' is universally characteristic of
the New York hoodlum, and when he really
begins to reform he at once applies himself
to the mastery of this difficulty. Maybe I
will write book some day on the ethical
import Of pronunciation; certainly 1t is
suggestive subject.
A branch of the Baltimore Society of Dis
appointed Lovers was organized at Whining
ton. Deleware, recently, by Joseph T. Clark,
who is president cf the Baltimore organizes
tion. A dozen wsll-known young men in
town, including lawyer, several politicians
and prominent merchant, met in one of the
large hotels. Mr.Clark explained the nature
of the organization, saying 1t was a mutual
consolation society, and any man to be eligi-
BILE to membership must have been engaged
and the engagement must have been broken
by the fair one. He, severely denounced
flirting, and said that caused nine-tenths of
the woes of man. Ten men appended their
names to the constitution and each related
his experience in striving for matrimonial
honors. The constitution requires every man
to shun female society at all times, and a
violation of this rule means expulsion. A
lookout committee was appointed to search
for new candidates.

At, and do ever 30 much besides that nobody
ever would have learnt 'em In the tenement
houses that most of 'em came out of. How
many boarders. That don't exactly re-
member. a. 1t is fifteen years since left
there, but am sure the house will hold con-
siderable over fifty, and in my day It was
nearly always full, though the girls were be-
ing constantly sent away, some to the Wsat
and some to take situations here in the city.
How are they fedg Well, at that time they
might have been better fed. I always
girls ought to have had a stew for their sup
per, as the boys have in their lodging house,
instead of being put of with bread and but
ter and tea. Bread they have plenty of, but
only butter enough for one slice. For
breakfast there is-or. should say, there
was no lunch given to them that worked
out, though they wouldn't get none of the
meat and potato dinner that the stay-at-
homes had In the middle of the day. Things
may have changed since then, and suppose
they have, for, as I say, Pm telling you of
fifteen years ago. Did the girls clothe them
selvess Not always, but there was lot of
clothing sent in from time to time by the
Children's Aid society and their friends, and
as these rich people never half wear out their
clothes, the girls that came in without
enough on 'em to keep 'em warm were made
more comfortable than they ever were be-
fore. Between what ages are they takena
Fifteen and twenty-five. Now and then
there will some younger than fifteen be
taken, but hardly ever one over twenty-five,
as women at that time in life are supposed to
earn enough and know enough to keep 'em
out of mischief. Sometimes girls will be
sent in by police justices. who think that
all they need to set 'em in the right road is a
little discipline of the kind their own folks
amt fitted to give 'em. Some of 'em has
fathers on the Island, and some of 'em has
mothers there, and it does look at such
that stands between them and the gutter.
It's my opinion that half of the girls who 60
to the bad are sent there by the fault of
them who ought to have brought 'em up
different. A young Rirl-and real pretty
one, too-came to the Lodging House one
night when I was there, and says she:
Mamma told me this morning that wasn't
to come back to her if I didn't get some work
to do, and can't get it because never have
been taught nothing. If was to go home
now, just as like as not I'd find her fighting
drunk, and then she'd beat me like the
dickens ~ -
"That girl was took in, and the last I
heard of her she was a first-rate laundress,
getting all the work she could do. If abe
had been turned away, don't like to think
of what she would be now. There amt but
few young girls that are vicious by nature,
