A CHECK TO CHANDLER.
The President Said TO bo Opposod:to Ex-
trcme Lckislntion for tho Month


trcme LcKislation for tho south.
In course Of the last two or three
months the President has had numer.
Gus conversations with Senators and
Representatives on the subject of
Southern affairs. AS intimated in his
annual message, he Is in favor of the
passage Of a supplementary Federal
election law, but it is understood that
he is not willing to 60 to the extreme
length advocated by such malignant
demagogues "a Chandler and others,
Any law designed to control the man
ner Of elections must be formed to
meet his views; otherwise he is not
the man to sign it. 1t is not believed
he will be inclined to favor any meas
ure the effect Of which would be to in
terfere or influence in any way the To-
cal elections in the South. Mr.. Hur-
rison is a strong partisan, but he has
alwas been strict constructionist of
of the constitution, and according TO
the reports of those Hho have talked
with him, he finds no warrant under
existing circumstances for any at
tempted interference by Congress
with local government in the
South.
The hope and design of such men as
Chandler is to pass measure broad
enough to make federal appointees
practically supervisors of local cleo
tlons in the South. The initial step in
this programme was his presenting in
she Senate yesterday of a "cooked
up' petition relative to the Arkansas
State election of 1888 There are Re.
publicans in both houses, however,
who share the opinions of the Presi.
dent and will not be inclined to graf
ity Chandler's malignity. Whatever
election measure is finally passed will
in all probability be confined to regu-
iatlons concerning the manner ofelec.
tlons of members Of the House of Rep
resentatives. The idea ofthe Repub
licans is that law can be framed the
result of which will give to them n
sufficient number Of congressional dis.
tricts in the South to overbalance anv
thing short Of an overwhelming tidal
wave in favor OF the Democracy in the
North. The President and some 9TH
er leading Republicans think the par
ty should be satisfied with this. Such
calculation is not sound because it is
based upon the assumption that the
entire nergo vote is to be held in per-
petual slavery by the Republican par
ty.-Baltimore Sun.

What the Flood AccOmDlished ed

CAIRO, Ills, March 6.-The Ohio
river is now over fifty miles wide at this
point. 1t extends from the Cairo levee,
which holds it backed up 45 feet above
low water mark, into Kentucky, till it
strikes the hills there, forming one solid
sheet of water, except for the narro "
strips OF rock bound earth upon which
the Mobile and Ohio and Illinois Cen
tral railroads run south. A mile below
here it joins the Mississippi, which in
turn extends into Missouri another so
miles, making the combined width of the
two rivers over one hundred miles

a Human Hand PctrifipI.

MIR. w. III. Jones, Of Atlanta, made a
remarkable find in Florida "A few DAYS
ago. This is no more nor less than ne
triticd human hand. 1t was found i'm
beddcd in the SAID, only n few feet
from the surface, between Cockledge
and Cocoa, on the Indian river.
'"Thc hand" says the Times Union,
"must have been severed many years ago
perhaps by the Indians. The faQcrs
are partially closed, the thumb resting
lightly against the fore and middle fin
gers, and 1T was young woman's hand
one Of the most shapely, refined and
delicate that could be imagined The
tapsring fingers, nail and dainty wrist
belonged, one must imagine, to lady
Of great beauty. Near the wrist Joint
is the clearly defined mark of brace
let. Tracings Of ne veins, muscles and
arteries, and the porous condition Of
hand and wrist, indicate that it is the
natural human hand, pctrihcd. Tho
crcnses in the palm are perfect. No
stone or marble Of which we have any
knowledge, at present, could present
such features, and if it was the work Of
an artist his name would rank with that
OF the hncst sculptors of ancient or mod
ern times, nor would such work likely
have been thrown away or lost"

Does Farming Pay?

lhls question is constantly asked and
always provokes discussion. Whether
farming pays, says the Columbus En-
qulrer Sun, depends more on the farmer
than anything else. Among the many
farmers in the State who can answer the
query atlirmatively is Hon. James NJ.
smith OF Oglethropc county. He is now
without doubt the largest aud wealth
lest planter in the State, a plain, prscti-
cal, common sense man who began life
after the war poor hoy without dol.
1"-" o"Pit"l-,-, We hrsA it from "A oeptIe-
man who recently visited OgIethropo
county that Col. Smiths receipts from last
years operations ranged somewhere be-
tween $l5O.O0O and $200,O 900. One big

bushels of corn, wheat, oats, etc. Col.

The chaplain was badly beaten, in fact

On hearing OF the fight, the colored

pot with the avowed intention of lynch-
ing DeTrevillc.
The white people Of the town of
Orangeburg also assembled and a con.

of the affray and soon euietcd matters by
sending the students back to the col.

Cardoza is q brother Of L. l.. Cardoza

KILLED THE WOMEN.
FcrrlIe Table Of African slaves
TImR of ThIraf


A letter from Zanzibar says that
over year ago a caravan of 300 Arabs
left the East Coast tc 20 into the in
terror to trade. They have now re-
turned and QUE of the chiefs relates
their adventures. Arriving at Kayiron-
do on the northeast shore of Victoria
Nyanza,, the Arabs saw that the ma
tives had good deal of ivory and
that they had no guns. They attack
ed the tribe, and before the shooting
had gone on long the natives were
willing to do anything to make peace.
Alter long palaver with the chiefs
the Arabs agreed to leave the country
upon the payment to them of two hun
dred tusks of ivory and two hundred
young women. The natives were glad
TO get rid of the enemy even on these
hard conditions. AS soon as they re-
cslVed the ivory and the women the
Arabs started for the coast. They had
a terrible time in the Nasal country.
There was a drought and they almost
persisted of thirst. Then provisions
became scarcer and scarcer and the
whole party was in danger of starya-
ton. Finally the Arab chief decided
that in order to save themselves and
their ivory it would be necessary to
sacrihce their female slaves, who were
very weak from their deprivations and
could march no farther.
That night all of these 200 Young
women were shot 10 death, and their
bodies were left in the camp for boasts
OF prey. The victims happily had not
moments warning of their impend-
ing fate. Each murderer selected his
victim, and the horrible crimt was ac-
complished SO speedily that few of the
women made any outcry. With their
forces thus summarily re luced the
Arabs were able to pull through the
desert region, obtaining little more
life.
The chief who related these facts
IN Zanzibar showed no compunctions
whatever for the tcrribls crime in
which he had assisted, but he mention
ed the massacre only to give au idea
Of the great loss they had sustained by
the necessary sacrifice of their 200
slaves. 1t is curious fact that some
OF the murderers were troubled in
mind because their necessities had
compelled them to eat rats and other
unclean food, which is prohibited to
Mohammedans on the march.

Regulating Hours OfLabor.

RICHMOND, Va, March 6.--The bill to
regulate the houIa Of labor in factories
where females and children under four
teen yeara Of age are employed, passed
both Houses and went to the Governor a
few days ago. The bill provides that
no child under the above age shall work
in any factory more than ten hours q
day. Since it's passage, the Governor
has received numerous protests against 1t
from Lynchburg, Danville and other
prominent tobacco manufacturing points
Of the State, with urgent requests to
withhold his signature, unless he wished
to SEQ the factories ruined. Notwth-
standing these applications and protests,
the Governor to-day signed the bill, and
it is now law.

Should Keep Her Half Still.

a loving young husband Of Cincinnati
possesses pretty young wife and sweet
little baby who is as good as he can be
in the daytime, but who has penchant
for making the air resound with his
cries. The dear little thing was giving
his usual concert several nights ago.
His audience was tired out. The chap
py father was trying hard to persuade
the old sand man to fill his eyes and
transport him tc the land Of nod. Still
the baby yelled.

husband, "hadn't you better get up and
walk around the room and get your baby

ed by the committee to Judge White,
the treasurer, he thereupon turned
It over to Mr.. Hernandez, who Re
quested that the leaders designat-
ed should call 1t his Office for their
proportion Of the fund in his hands.
Messrs. John Fitzpatrick Of the
third ward, and Thomas Duffy. Of
the fourth, refused togo to Mr.. Her
nande1's Office to obtain from him
the checks for the amounts allotted
to their wards respectively. I vol
unteered to 60, and informed Mr..
HeEnandes ct his Office Of the fact.
He gave me . check on the Ger.
mania National Bank payable to my
order, for the amounts allotted to
the third and fourth wards, I think
some fifteen hundred dollars or
more. endorsed the check, col.
lected the amount, returned 70 my
Office while the committee was yet
in session, and delivered the whole
amount by me collected to Messrs.
John Fitzpatrick and Thomas Duff
fy. The balance left in Mr.. Her
nandez's. hands after the election
was directed by the committee to
be paid over to Judge White, the
treasurer.
The Time Democrat still further
charges that Senator-elect White
accepted SO, 900 from the Lottery
Company to assist him in his per-
s0nal canvass for the Senate.
