Goodbye, Brother Blair.
from the New York SUM-

The removal from the Senate of the
picturesque and prolific Blair of New
Hampshire will certainly result in a
material modification of the calendar
of business. For twelve years past the
industrious Senator has been the chief
fountain head of three or four classes Of
bills, and has poured them forth with
out stint. His pet hobbies have been
education in the South, the protection
of labor, woman suffrage, and temper
ance, and without him it is hard to see
how these in, erests can hold their own
in the Senate as they have in the past.
The country has. now probably seen
the last of the gigantic educational
scheme in support of which Senator
Blair has delivered so many sixty-page
speeches and consumed so many
months of legislative time. The num-
Der of labor and temperance bills that
will now 90 by the board is legion, and
as for woman suffrage, the champions
of that cause are bereaved indeed, are
in tears. Taking into consideration
also the remarkable abilities Of Mr..
Blair as an original, out unconscious
humorist, the withdrawal of the Sena-
tor from active political life must be
regarded as a public loss.

Now this reads like burlesque, but it
is actual, sober truth, the above eX-
tracts having been actually extracted
having been actually extracted from a
daily newspaper printed in Augusta,
State Of Georgia, in this Year of Grace,
1891. And we have no doubt it will be
a popular feature in the Herald, too,
and that many other newspapers will
see the value of the new scheme and
adopt it. 1t is smart" journalism and
likely to be profitable for awhile until
the good people who like that kind of
thing tire of it or the newspaper is
suspected of discriminating against
Mrs. Slusky's four-day-old baby or
neglects to notice the next tooth
achieved by little Frank Burnley Or the
new dress in which Marie Vaughan is
adorned.
1t is the legitimate, natural evolution
of the ''society news"-of the pander-
ing to tie small vanities and the taste
for notoriety and advertising and per-
sonal gossip and wherewith great
proportion of our human race is
afflicted.
When people who have many friends
or kin go or come, knowledge of their
movements has an actual value for
many other people. Occasionally there
is a public or semi-public entertain
ment which is proper subject for
pleasant description. But from the
"society news" with the heart burn
ings and petty jealousies, the wretched
little spites, the vacuos, idle curiosity it
feeds, and the vulgar, unsocial and de-
basing tendencies which it cultivates
and develops to rank growth, may the
Lord deliver us.

A BLUE GUM" NEGRO.
Case Which Has just Occurred in
South Carolina.
Especial to Augusta Chronicle. I


CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 2:2,-Quite
u sensation was created in st. Math-
ews, Orangeburg county, over the
death Of Nipple Brown, a prosperous
colored farmer.
Itappears that some time ago Brown
got into a fuss with "blue gum ne
gro named Tom Simmons, and in the
fight which followed Brown was bitten
on the finger by Simmon. In little
while the bitten finger began to swell,
got worse, and it was not before gan
creme had set in.
On Sunday Brown died. Coroner
Dukes was summoned, and an inquest
was held here to-day over the dead
body. Doctors Able 4 Able, who con-
Quoted the post mortem examination,
say that Browns death was caused by
the bite, and that the bite OF q "blue
gum" negro in nearly every case
proves fatal.
The negroes here are all wild over
the death of Brown, and with the ac-
customed superstition peculiar to that
race, imagine all manner Of strange
things.
\ negro with blue gun is ter
ror to them.

BORING TUNNELS BY THE SPARK.
Electricity to be Applied TO Making Holes
in the Andes,

The new railway which is to connect
the Argentine Republic with Chilli
will necessitate the boring of eight tun-
nels through the Andes Mountains ofa
total length of nearly ten miles. These
tunnels, in whose construction water
power and electricity are to be largely
used in a novel form, have already
been commenced at twenty points.
Since August last a cataract of the
Juncalillo river, which has fall Of
nearly 600 feet, has been made use oftc
supply the power in carrying out
the boring operations in the tun-
nels of Portilio, La Calavera and
La Cdmbre. The Portillo tunnel takes
a serpentine course through the mas
sive rock, and its upper side, 45o feet
above the entrance. The water of the
Juncalillo cataract is conveyed through
steel pipes half metre in diameter for
the distance Of about mile to the Jun
cal Station.
The boring machines employed in
these three tunnels require force Of
1000 horse power to drive, and this il
obtained by converting the water pow
er into electricity. The water, which
is carried through the steel pipes, is
made to set in motion ten turbines,
each of so horse power, which are con
nected with the electrical machines.
The electricity thus produced is con-
Quoted through strong insulated cop
per cables to and Calayera. From
Juncalillo air-pressure machines are
also supplied in the serpentiae
tunnel leading up to Portillo.
From Calavera four so horse power
dynamo machines generate the cleo
tricity for the Cunbre tunnel, where
six borers, all working at the same
time, are driven by eight air pressure
engines. On the Argentine side of the
mountains another cataract, near Ma
varro, has been similarly used for driy-
ing four turbines, each Of S0-horse
power. Owing to the distance Of the
western smaller portion of the Cum
bre tunnel water power cannot there
be employed, and the borings are being
carried out by hand. Wherever water
and electricity can be used the boring
operations are performed, it is estimat-
ed fully four times as rapidly as they
wouli be by hand.

in uniform, selected and trained tor
this service, and intended to assist
ladies and children in their toilets and
in other ways, as they may be needed.
The observation car is, however, the
chief attraction Of the rain. It con-
tains in front some sleeping berths, but
the rear and larger portion is fitted mp
like a handsome parlor. 1t has win
dows slightly bowed, odd things for a
railroad car. These give better view
of the country. The rear is almost all
of glass, to afford the best opportunity
for seeing. The platform outside is ex-
tended for open air observation. The
car is finished in mahogany and silk
embossed plush, contains elegant move
able easy chairs, sofas, and table, and
soft Wilton carpets and under foot.
There are two fine mahogany secre-
taries for writing, and all writing inn
pIements are at hand. There are por-
there's of silk plush embossed. There
is a library of fiction, travel, and ad-
venture, and the leading newspapers
will be furnished. There is buffet,
which will be in charge Of an artist in
the mixing line, and will furnish cigars
and liquors of all kinds. This room
is the lounging room for the whole
train, and whether the passengers de-
sire to read, see the country, talk or
lounge, he will find al inviting place
on some of the soft, rich cushions of
this palatial car.
Surrounded by such luxury, and
looking out upon the romantic pictures
which will be presented at every mile
of his journey, it may be we'll sur
missed that trip which may hitherto
have been looked forward to as ne
cessary evil will become an occasion
where one will "rock the tedious time
in adelightful dream" from which the
arrival at his destinations will seem
like a rude and unpleasant awaken
ing.
With these trains, the trip of $50
miles between Washington and AL
lanta will be made in nineteen hours,
FIVE hours less than the present time.
Such trains will be the first to be put
on any Southern line for all the year,
The trains will never be filled beyond
their capacity, and the additional
charge on them will be small. The cars
to be used are named as follows: Obser-
vation cars, ,Chevalier, Consort, Courtier;
dining and baggage cars, Acileus, De-
mitrius; regular sleepers, Senator,
Southron, Diplomatic. All will be
lighted by the Pintsch gas system and
heated by the New York safety sys-
tenn of steam heating. Every section
will have its own lights. Electric
bells are also supplied everywhere.
The cars were built especially for this
company. The value of the vestibule
arrangement in increasing the buffers
and thus rendering travel more safe on
such trains has been frequently DEM
orstrated.

The Sockless Statesman.
From the New York Sun

Jerome Socrates Simpson, the SOCK
less statesman from Medicine Lodge,
Kansas, is not product of American
soil, but was born in Vroomfeld,
hamlet five mi'es below Sarnia, Ont.
On the st. Clair River was his birth
place, and many traditions Of his youth
full exploits are now coming to light.
One Of these says that on one occasion,
when he and his stalwart brothers were
not expected at a party, they descended
upon the assembled guests, cleaned out
the young men, and danced with the
girls until morning. Along the river
jeremiah is still known as Capt. Simp-
son, for he sailed a schooner until he
had got together the $1,000 that gave
him the impetus to go West.

SENATORIAL ENDURANCE.
Speaking for Twelve Hours Without Be-
trayina Fatigue.
from the New York Sun.

J
WASHINGTON Jan. 19-The won.
, derful power Of endurance dis
played by Senator Faulkner of West
Virginia, in speaking steadily Ior
twelve hours all through Friday night
and Saturday morning, aud then st:cil-
ing to his post and taking part lii the
subsequent proceedings of Saturday
afternoon without betraying the slight
est fatigue, is the theme of much ad-
miring comment here, but it is no sur
prise to those who have hitherto
remarked the physical proves. of the
West Virginians in Congress. They
are indeed sturdy set of men, al
though not especiallyso in appearance.
This same Senator Faulkner in the last
campaign used TO travel all night over
rough country roads and then maze
stump speeches all day, for weeks in
succession, sometimes not sleeping half
an hour for two or three days at time.
He is not large man, and no one
would pick him out as one fit for that
sort of work. Congressman Wilson is
another indefatigable West Virginian.
Though frail in appearance and said to
be threatened with consumption, or
something of that sort, he can rival
Faulkner for hard work on a stuuping
tour, and his canvasses among the
mountains and wild coultry districts
in the interior of his State are said 20
be marvels Of endurance. Senator
Kenna is another good example of West
Virginian iron in the blood. He spends
much of his vacation time in hunting
and rcughihg it in the wilderness. Dur
ing the three weeks just previous to
the beginning of the present session ne
was on s0eady tramp through the
woods and mountain gofges of the
Allegheny divide and killed twenty
nine deer, besides no end Of smaller
game. These three men can probably
outlast any other three men in Con-
gress, thanks not to superior physique,
but to their lifelong habits Of outdoor
life.

that the two are cousins. The grand
mother of Mr.. Cleveland was Mehita-

REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS.
Venerable WoInenWhose Husbands Fought
in the War.
| From a Washington Letter.


The last Revolutionary soldier died
wears ago. But the revolutionary
widows are still with us. Twenty ven-
cradle women whose husbands 'fit" for
American independence are carried
upon the pension rolls. 1t is amazing
how the widows of soldiers hold on.
At the present time Uncle Sam is dis
bursting S3S,S47 year TO the old SOL
dlers of the war of 1872. But the wild
ows OF the old soldiers OF the war of
1872 are drawing in pensions the snug
sum Of 81 ,263, ,239 annually.
When We get down to the Mexican
war We find the survivors little the
best of 1t. They draw 81, ,72S, ,027 a Year.
The Mexican war widows get S695, ,054.
But the widows are creeping up on
the survivors. 1t will be only a few
years until the Mexican war widows
will be drawing more pension money
than the survivors. That is the way
the pension laws work out. At the
pension office this is we'll understood.
1t is explained in few words. The old
pensioners marry young wives and
leave them their blessings and pen
siOns.
The pensioners of the civil war will
reach their maximum in numbers
eight or ten years from nowif there are
no more pension laws enacted. But the
widows list will keep on growing for a
quarter of a century.
Fifty years from now there will not
be Grand Army man living. Seventy
five years from now grateful Repub-
lie will still be reimbursing widows for
what their husbands suffered at Get
tysburg and Chickamauga. Women
are vet to be born who will become
widows of old soldiers and draw pen
sions for their husbands services in the
war Of 1S6l-5.
There are to-day over one hundred
thousand widows on the pension rolls.
The pensioners number 100000. These
figures will be reversed in twenty
years. Ninety-ejght thousand widows
widows draw SD a month. Last year
the civil war pensioners drew ST., ST.
619. The civil war widows drew S1S,-
OO6,-S57, more than one-fourth Of the
magnificent total.
