DRIFT FROM THE DELuGr.
Wow Several Horses Escaped From

From the Johnstown Democrat.
AT syarious times we have published
some remarkable incidents of the escape
OF horses at the time of the food, and had
supposed the matter was pretty nearly. IL
not altogether, exhausted. The following
items VIC have through Trustworthy
source.
Mr. \. p. Hartzel, dealer in tobacco, liy-
Ing IN upper end OF Morris street, is the
owner of nice little black Kentucky
horse, which was in a stable on the back
end OF his lot on the afternoon of the
Hood. The stable was washed from its
foundation and carried up near Brinker
Brothers' store; and the horse on
the morning after the flood was
found, not in the stall where he was tie1
but up in the NOV, having gone up tho
steep steps. The only way Of getting him
down was to construct temporary gang
way. Strange as II may appear, he was
not injured in the least, and can be seen on
our streets now doing daily work.
An iron gray mule belonging 10 Mr..
Mcfeeters, was carried from the lower
end Of Kernville mp into the yard of
Joseph Hinchman, and lodged near the
top OF o fruit tree, from which he finally.

The Aiken Tax Shortage.
Augusta News

COLUMBIA, April 2S.-A statement
having been published that Treasurer
J. E. Murray, of Aiken County, had
defaulted IN the payment of his State
taxes to the extent of Sl7, 600, Comp
troller General Werner was asked Sat-
urday for particulars. He said that he
had paid two visits to Aiken for the
purpose of investigating the accounts
of the treasurer, and will go there
again on May 13 10 60 over them with
the grand jury, examining them
thoroughly. Mr.. Werner said that be
had ascertained that much ofthe short
age was due to the fact that
the treasurer had allowed tie
county commissioners to oyerdraw on
him. In other words, he had paid
county demands with State funds ap-
parently to the extent of 6,6SS. In
cluding this the amount he now owed
the State, less his commissions and the
South Carolina railway taxes yet to be
collected, was about $4,000. The State
treasurer and himself were looking in
to the matter very closely, and Mr..
Murray's bondsmen had made ar
rangements to pay the State the full
amount due it. Treasurer Murray
has been in Office ten years.

Slang Words and Phrases.

From American Notes and Queries.
"Dun\ is word now whose meaning
is known to every one who under
stands the English language. About
the beginning Of the century a con-
stable in England named John
Dun became celebrated as first class
collector of bad accounts. When others
would fail to collect a bad debt Dun
would be sure to ct it out of the debt
or. 1t soon passed into current
phrase that when person owed
money and did not pay when asked
he would have to be ''Dunned."
Hence it soon became comman in such
cases to say: "Iou will have to Duu
So-and-so if you wish to collect your
money"
Urtil the nomination of Franklin
Pierce for the Presidency the word
"outsider" was unknown. The COM
mittee on credentials came in TO make
its report and could not get into the
hall because of the crowd Of people
who were not members Of the Con-
vention. The chairman of the Con-
vention asked if the committee was
ready to report, and the chairman of
the committee answered: "Yes, Mr..
Chairman, but the committee is un-
able to get inside on account of the
pressure of outsiders. The newspaper
reporters took up the word and used
it.
"You are daisy,' is used by Dick
ems IN David Coppertield," in the
sense of calling a person daisy in a
way to express admiration, and, at the
same time, to laugh at ones credul-
ity. Steerforth says to young Copper
field: David, my daisy, you are so
innocent of the world. Let me
call you my daisy, as it is so
refreshing to find one in these
corrupt days so innocent and unsophis-
ticated. My dear Copperfield, the
daisies Of the field are not fresher than
you."
"Too thin" was given currency by
the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of
Georgia, in the United States Con-
gress i'm 1870. Some members had
made reply to Mr.. Stephens and the
latter had his chair wheeled out in the
aisle and said in that shrill piping
voice which always commanded ST.
lence "Mr. Speaker, the gentle
mans arguments are gratuitous asser-
tions made up of whole cloth. And
cloth, so gauzy and thin that it will
not hold water. 1t is entirely too thin,

Medical Classics


The following heretofore unheard of
Information in regard to breath and
breathing was made in Kentucky re-
Gently by school-boy of II years who
wrote an essay on the subject We
breathe with our lungs, our lights, our
kidneys and livers. II it wasn't for
our breath we would die when we
slept. Our breath keeps the life a-going
through the nose when we are asleep.
Boys who stay in room all day should
not breathe. They should wait until
they get out in the fresh air. Boys in
a room make bad air called carboniclde.
Carbonicidc is as poisonous as mad
dogs. a lot of soldiers were once in a
black hole in Calcutta and clrbonicide
got in there and killed them. Girls
sometimes ruin the breath with corsets
that squeeze the diagram. A big dia-
gram is best for the right kind Of
breathing"

TO TEST REEDS RULINGS.
The Democrats Will Take a Case to the
Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The DEM
ocrats have a case they may get into
the Supreme Court to test the constitu-
tionality Of the act of the speaker in
counting members who do not vote TO
make quorum.
They refrained from voting on the
Dingley bill, and it passed by l3s af-
frrnative votes, the speaker counting
a quorum. 1t is the purpose of the
importers to resist the operation of the
bill if it is passed by the Senate and
receives the Presidents signature. BY
taking test case to courts, when an
attempt be made to collect the duty
imposed on worsteds by the bill, they
can get the question before the Su-
preme Court.

Tired of tie dance and festivities, a

aud played hide and seek with the

washed-the most appropriate thing
the waves could have done.
At a few minutes to midnight the
signal for leaving was given, and all

who seemed to be completely exhausted
with the evenings sport. They had
leaned their heads together, and had
quietly sunk into the arms Of Nor

head-rast myself, and suggested as
much to the young lady on my right,

were married, and that it was a newly
