Some Of the South Carolina alliancemen
are not wholly satisfied with the election of
Mr.. Irby to the United States Senate. Col.
Keitt, a thorough-going allianceman,
asserts that Mr.. Irby's election ''was not
only an impediment to the work of, but
crime against, the order" According to
Col Keitt, State Senator Stokes ''sold out
the alliance for the shadow of being
governor Of the state four years hence
That is pretty serious charge for one
allianceman to bring against another, and
doubtless Senator Stokes will have some
thing 20 say in defense of himself. Ii
would have been remarkably strange.

Morbid Winklng by Miners.

DR.. Smell persists in his opinion thai
there is no reason for supposing that ny.
stagmussor the nervous disease which
manifests itself in morbid winking oil
the eye, so common among miners, is at.
tributable to working by the imperfect
light of the safety lamp. The fact that
the complaint is found among the workers
with naked lights is in itself sufficient to
throw doubt upon the long-prevalent
theory. The Government Inspector of
Mines for the Midland District notes, or
DR.. Stokes's authority, the case of man
who, after working with the Davy lamp
for fourteen years without injury, pro-
ceeded to work at pit where candles
were used. He had been employed three
three and ope-half years, and during the
last twelve months he experienced symp-
toms of nystagmus, and had ultimately
to leave work and seek medical aid. DIR.
Smell has collected mass of facts and a
record Of large number of instances of
men suffering from the affection, which
will, he believes, be very corroborative
of the views he has before set forth,
namely, that the prime cause of the affec-
tion is to be found in the position as
sumed by the miner at his work.-Lon-

Curious Epitaphs.

While strolling in the fields near
small hamlet not thirty miles from Ro-
chester, / came across an antiquated
graveyard overgrown with ivy and
MOSES, the stones of which bore dates
between 1896 and 1920. scraped the
mold from few OF the stones and
brought to light these inscriptions. This
one is modest.
"My body to the grave / give,
My soul TO God hope is fed;
When this my children
You do see, remember me-"
This. on a child's grave, is not without
pathos:
'This lovely bud so young and fare
Cald hence by erly doome.
Just caught TO show how sweet a flower in
Paradise would bloom"
This one also preserves the phonetic
method:
''Youth like a morning -four,
Cut down aud withered in an hour"
Notice the unexpected word-diyision
in these:
ITO worlds Of sperits | am gone,
And left my friends beh-
ind TO mourn.
My body lies here in the dust,
My soul is stationed wi
tn the blest
SHARK, my gay friends, to you my voice has
been,
Refrain from folly and forsake your sin;
Still from the dead l fain would seni my
cries
Trust in the Saviour, don't His grace de
spise."
This is as good as any have seen;
"a thousand ways cut short our days,
None are exempt from DEATH

Did stop my mortal breath

The King of Spain,s Foibles.

The Paris Figaro thus describes the
King of Spain; "He is small, very small
but sinewy, restless, full of fun, and pre-
cocious. He dreams of uniforms, flag
and battles. He will not have toy horses
but for two years has desired live
horse, in order to run races. He say
thou to all people. He likes to nick
name the old Generals. For instance
Marshal Martinez Campos, chief of the
military cabinet, is called 'Campitos' by
the child. When he does not get what
he wishes at once he grows exceedingly
angry and can be quieted only by the sof
words of the Queen Regent. He is stub
born. He speaks excellent English al
ready. What offends him especially il
the knowledge that he is still a child
He would like to grow large at once, b,
a man with great mustache without de
lay. He cannot understand how the
King of Spain can be so small"

A SONG OF REST.

Obi sing me a song of evening,
A song Of peace and rest,
When, weary with useless flying,
The wild birds seek the nest;
When the lamps OF home are lighted
And those we love draw nigh,
And overhead the kindly stars
Are smiling in the sky.
The day has been dark and dreary, -
The shadows fall thick and fast
And my limbs aud my heart are weary
From battling with the blast
And now as the shades of evening
Creep darkly DER the land,
sigh for a breath of peace and rest
And the touch of friendly hand,
Ny thoughts turn back in the twilight
To scenes long passed away,
When, free from the thrall of labor,
wandered in childish play;
see the vine-clad doorway,
Where oft my mother stood,
And the thoughts of home l know no more
Come DER me like flood
Then sing me a song of evening,
OF peaceful love and rest;
am weary of useless striving =
Aud 1 long for the sheltering nest.
The rugged shadows of evening
Are filling all the land,
And sigh for breath of love and rest
And the touch of a mothers hand.

The wOrs. Smell in the World.

NM. Bauman and Fromm, expert
menting in Freiburg, Bresgau, on the
organic derivations of sulphur, caused
hydrogen sulphide to act upon acetone
They obtained trithio .acetone and new
compound, non-volatile and crystalline,
and at the same time very volatile sub
stance was given of, to whose odor all
the most ill-smelling substances hitherto
known were as altar of roses. The dis
coverers think this gas is monosul.
phureted acetin, but they have yet beer
unable to isolate it. Their efforts il
that line, although they used the most
perfect apparatus at their command to
prevent the escape of the smallest quan-
tity of the gas, brought an indignant
storm of protest frcm the whole city.

Ais the showing Of deposits in the State

tionally good financial condition, with
almost enough cash on deposit to liqui-

property was sss, 900, 900; the actual
valuation in 1891 is 81, ,5S5, 100, 300

'Tis the bubble on tho fountain,
Rising lightly ere 1t dies;
Or, IL here and there a hero
Be remembered through the years,
Yet to him the gain is zero
Death has stilled his hopes and fears.
Yet what danger men will dare

May be heard some eager mention of their

What is wealth.
'Tis rainbow, still receding
As the painting fool pursues,
Or toy, that youth, unheeding,
Seeks the readiest way to lose;
But the wise man keeps due measure,
Neither out of breath nor base;
He but holds in trust his treasure
For the welfare Of the race.
Yet what crimes some men will dare
But to gain their slender share
In some profit though with loss of name and
health.
What is life2
'Tis the earthly hour of trial
For life that's but begun;
When the prize Of self-denial
May be quickly lost or won;
'Tis the hour when love may bourgeon
To an everlasting flower;
Or when lusts their victims urge on
To defy immortal power
Yet how lightly men ignore
All the future holds in store,
Spending brief but golden moments all In
strife;
Or in suicidal madness grasp the knife.
What is deathS
Past its dark, mysterious portal
Human eye may never roam;
Yet the hope still springs immortal
That it leads the wanderer home.
Oh, the bliss that lies before us
When the secret shall be known, -
And the vast angelic chorus
Sounds the hymn before the thronel
What is fame, or wealth, or lifeS
Past are praists, fortune, strife;
All but love, that lives forever, cast beneath,
When the good and faithful servant takes
