he was not forgetful of his daughter
He made arrangements with a lady,
with whose husband he was tolerably
intimate, to act as NelI's ehaperon. and as
that young lady herself was by means IN.
attractive, she was not long before she
knew a good many people in Manchester.
Her chaperoD, Mrs Montague, was one of
those vivacious ladies who contemplate
passing an evening at home with dismay.
This restless lady could not bear the idea of
not assisting at everything that was going
on in Manchester, and would work with
untiring patience and assiduity to obtain
tickets. The more difficult they were to
come by, verify believe, the more she en-
joyed it, and she was perfectly callous to all
social rebuff in matters Of this nature.
Some years ago, Nellie, while under the
wing of Mrs. Montague, chauced to meet
Frances Smerdon at dinner party, and
the lron~master's daughter at once con-
ceiyed a strong liking for the quiet, reti-
cent lady-liks glrl. Miss Smerdon, who
had come on a months visit to Manchester
oontrived TO see a good deal of her new
friend in the course of her visit. In the
first instance the liking had been entirely
on the part of Frances, but gradually
Nellie thawed under the advances of her
more impressionablef friend. and before Mis-:

Lynden, as soon as be knew who she was

much struck at discovering that he haC
blossorued into large iron master on his owl
account. Although reticent about his owl
past as ever, he told Frances that he anC
her father had been school-fellows. and thi.
seemed an additional link in the friendship
of the two girls. 1t had subsisted nov

= Narrow Escape.

DENVER, Col, Feb 3.-A Newcastle,
Col, special says: What almost proved
to be another Mammoth mine disaster
occurred here last evening IN the Grand
River coal and coke mine. Just at 3
o'clock. as the day-shlft, composed OF
seyentv-iive miners, were about 80
leave the mine, a terrific explosion oc-
CURED and Immediately black smoke
came pouring ont the side OF the noun
tain. .Ien. women and children rushed
towards the entrance Of the mine only
to be driven back by clouds OF smoke.
Above the roar Of the escaping gases
the cries OF the imprisoned miners
could De plainly heard by their wives
and children
Soon willing hands 5raVel the great
danger and started the hosting ma
chinerr, relieving each other as fast as
their comrades became exhausted.
Soon the seventy-Gye miners were
brought to the surface, some more dead
than alive, and none Of them any TOO
soon, Us the flames Immediately reach
ed the shaft and came up with such
force that it drove everybody away.
Explosions have followed every few
hours. At2 p. m. the excitement is so
great that it is impossible to tell if any
one failed to get out.
1t is thought several have persisted.
Had the explosion occurred when the
miners were at work not one would
have eScaped The mine has been on
fire several times before in the last ten
years, caused by the miners lamps
igniting the gas, which has always
troubled them.

A Sunlter Sensation.

SUMTER, Jan. 3l.-There was quite
a sensation here yesterday. On Thurs
day night the police were told that there
was white child IN a certain negro
house in the city that had been brought
or sent there from neishboring county
to hide a young woman's shame. and
that the negro woman was being paid to
take care Of it. It was said that the
child WAS suffering from neglect and the
police were asked to make an lnvestlga-
ton. Yesterday Chief Of Police Weeks
visited the house Of the negro woman,
Phillls DAVIS. and there found white
child which, the woman said, had been
given to her and that it was only three
weeks old. The child was shown and
was apparently in good helth and doing
as we'll as its surroundings would adj
nit. The negro woman said that the
child's mother was named Williams, and
though she did not know what county 1t
was from, the name of the place is in
Clarendon county. The woman SAID
the child was given to her about ten days
AGO. and that she had since received and
answered one letter oflnQulry as TO how
the child was getting on. 1t has not yet
been decided what steps. ii any, Will be
taken in the matter. Your correSpon-
dent is informed that unless the child IS
mistreated or neglected nothing can be
done with any ofthe parties to the trans
action,

Terrible GranGerS.

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 29.-John Living
ston, president of the New \ ork Farm
ers' Alliance, was in town to-day at the
Grand Pacific. He left Kansas yester-
day. He went there to say good word
for ingalls,. He returned because he
was afraid of his life, the Alliance men
there having threatened him. He said
Kansas was in a state bordering on an.
archy, and he would not be surprised II
the scenes of the French revolution were
enacted at any moment. The farmers
out there are desperate, he says, ana
ready for anything. Thousands OF them
are being sold out under foreclosure,
and this together with the fact that tie
Anarchists have secured a strong foot
hold in the Alliance makes the prospect
for the future dark one.
The feeling of the farmers against
ingalls, is intense, and Livingstone says
his ,ifewas threatened at Topeka as soon
as it was ascertained that he came there
to say good word for the brilliant Sen
ator. Senator-elect PETER, Livingstone
adds, is a physical wreck, and cannot
live many months. The more reputable
farmers are forming a new Alliance:
free from the pernicious influence of
the Southern Alliances. Congressman
elect Jerry Simpson and Willetts, an
Alliance leader, told Livingstone that 1t
ingalls, had been elected heN Nlyingstone)
could never leave the State alive. The
present Alliance is a dark lantern con-
Germ which has put spies upon tie track
of every farmer member of the Legisla-
ture.-New York Herald.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-President
Polk of the Farmers Alliance, speaking
of the complications which have arisen
through the action of some OF the south
ern legislatures in declining to partlcl.
pate in the Worlds fair in the event OF
the passage of the election bill, said:
The truth about this matter IS, that
the direct results from the Worlds fair
are to induce immigration and the IN
vestment of capital For obvious rea-
sons the people of the south feel that
they will get more benefit from the fair
than any other section. They feel that
this election measure, whatever its mer-
its are. will be converted in a sectional
issue. They feel that sectional agltators,
both north and south, will make 1t a
bloody shirt issue for 1892. If this view
is correct, as believe it is, its effort Will
neutralize any effort we may make at
Chicago to induce capitol and labor IN
the southern states. twill thus not only
check the material progress now deyel-
oping in the south, but Will retard 1t Tor
years to come. The views Of the great
industrial organization Of the country
are sufficiently and unequlvocally eN.
pressed in resolutions on the subject OF
Suffrage adopted by the Federation OF
Labor, which is broad enough and qu.,-
able enough for any American cltlZel
to stand upon.

Gives It Up.

WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator
Aldrich returned to Washington from
Rhode Island this morning. During the
morning hour he was busily engaged
consulting number Of his Republican
colleagues upon the condition OF the
business Of the Senate, and the pros
poets Of successful outcome OF any fur
ther attempts to secure the passage OF
the cloture rule and elections bill.
AS already Indicated II these despatch
es it was found there was pronounced
indisposition on the part Of a number OF
the Republican Senators again to enter
on what they regarded as a hopeles
struggle in view Of the fact that the Re
publican "bolters'' are still presumably
of the same mind as they were when
they voted to lay the closure rule aside.
Consequently it may be stated with pos
iliveness that the managers OF the cleo
ton bill have finally decided to abandon
the measure, in the interest OF the lm-
portant public business remaining to be
acted on.
AS result Of this decision is con-
ceeded on both sides Of the chamber that
the necessity for an extra session dlsal-
pears. The decision has been communl-
Gated to the Democratic Senators.

4 Miracle of Surgery.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5.-At last nights
meeting of the medical society DR.. II. 5.
Prewitt told of a remarkable case he
had just attended He was besieged by
reporters, but positively declined to give
the name Of his patient. as the family
wished to avoid notority. The patient
was a woman of unusual intelligence
who had for several years been success
full as a school teacher. When she was
about fourteen years of age she was
struck in the back of the head with a
hammer in the hands of a boy. The
immediate injury was taken care Of,
but a short time after the girl became
completely blind in her left eye. Dur
ing the years that followed the young
woman suffered from constantly re-
curing attacks Of severe headache, the
pain beginning at the seat OF the ear
Iy injury, passing to the blind eye, anc
then to the right eye, which also was at
times sightless. These headaches re-
Cured so constantly and were so pain
full that insanity was feared and the
st. Louis physicians were consulted.
They took out a portion of the bone in
the young woman's skull, and, besides
alleviating the pain and headaches, COM
pletely restored the lost sight. The
case is looked upon by the doctors as
one Of the miracles OF surgery.

What It Costs.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The follow
iur is an extract recently written for
a magazine by Senator Carlisle:
While our population III 1880 was
only sixteen times as great as IN .9O
the expenditures Of the National Gov
eminent, excluding all payments upon
the interest and principal Of the public
debt. were more than one hundred and
thirty time as great. In other words,
the population increased from 1926, ,2l4
in 1890 to 62,4S0,540 in 1890, While the
ordinary annual expenditures rose
from Sl,919,592 to the sum OF S26l ,63i,-
2O3. If we take the year 1910, twenty
years after the adoption OF the consul
tuition, we find that the population
was 7,239,SS1, and that the expenditures
were S5,311,CS2, Or - cents per capita
In 1880. eighty years afterwards, the
population was less than nine times as
great as it was then, but the ordinary
Expenditures were more than Tor.
ty-eighc times as great, and amounted
to S4.19 per capita.
From 1880 to 1910, Including the
period Of the Seminole war, the popula.
ton increased 3267 per cent. and the
expenditures increased 50 per cent:
from 1910 to 1850. during which tine
the war with Mexico was commenced
and prosecuted to a successful termlna-
ton, the population increased So.S7 per
cent. and the expenditures Increased
90 per cent; but from 1880 to 1880, a
period of profound peace, population
increased 24.57 per cent. and expendl'
lures increased 50 per cent. The ordin.
ary expenditures for the current tlsca!
year, 1891, will be at least - per cent
greater than in 1890. although the pop
ulation, as shown by the recent census
is increasing at a rate Of less than 277a

Judge Pefler on the South.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 4.-Judge PETER,
who is to succeed Ingalls, in the United
States senate, has this to say of the race
question in the south: The race issue
is for the southern people to settle
among themselves. If we had IL in
Kansas we would resent interference
from outside. fis not northern or
western issue, and the people who are
face to face with its difficulties should
be let alone in their methods Of deal
ing with it. Ihave lived in southern
community, and know what the pro-
blem is. Let it alone, and the two
races will come to an agreement Tar
more satisfactory, Intellectually, NOR
ally. and in every other way. than any
that can be forced by Federal legisla-
ton or southern lecturing."

Eight Days Out.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Feb. 4.-Four men
living eight days on one 'possum on a
deserted island is the outline Of a sen
sational story related in Augusta to-
day. Mr.. J. O'Brien, railroad con-
tractor, building the Southboand Rail
road from Savannah to Columbia, is
authority who voucheS for the truth OF
the story. O'Brien says in removing
his camps from the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic Railroad to the Southbound
Railroad week before last, when they
reached the ferry at Stony Bluff, seven
ty-ive miles telow Augusta, to cross
| the Savannah River, two mules got
lost in the woods.
Four white men in the party started
hunting for the strayed ANIMALS.
When they got several miles off, the
river commenced rapidly rising, and
before they could return to the ferry
the water got beyond bounds and coE-
cred the ground several feet. The men
realized their peril, and sought refuge
on small strip of land, which the va
ter completely encircled and formed a
little island, in the heart Of the dence
swamp. The four men were forced TO
remain on the island eight days. await
ing the water to recede, which has not
vet returned within its confines.
Eight days on an island were trials OF
suffering and distress. The men were
without provisions, and no possible
means of securing food. Each day
they swan out in the stream IN hopes
of striking dry land that would LEAD
back to the starting point. but water
was everywhere. Equanimity was
DESTROYED, and death from starvation
stared them ID the face, fo- there was
no sign of a raven. and it was appre
hended among the men that in their
craze to satisfy hunger they would fin,
ally have TO resort to cannibalism. AL
thev had to eat in eight days was an
'possum, which they caught III the
drift wood, and cooked by a lire on the
| island.
A searching party, in boats, was
started after several days had elapsed
and the men failed to return after the
hunt of the mules, and found the party
living on an island, weak from starVa'
ton. and almost perished to death
They were saftly padded to stony
