lOSTIN THE STROUD.

Here's song for the world-for the many
 who toll
 From the morn till the close of the day, With the hard, horny hands begrimed with
 the soil
 In the delvipg for bread in the clay A song that will tell of day with it's rest When hearts Iondly round us are bow d. And the hands that are horny and crossed
 on the breast Will be lost in the folds of the shroud \ song for the rich man, who rolls in his
 wealth,
 And the hero, with fame at his feet; From the mighty and happy with comfort
 and health To the lost, wandering wretch on the
 street To tell cen bright gold will be faithless to
 all,
 As the fame that will fade like the cloud, When little and great to one level shall fall And be lost in the folds of the shroud. When the humble shall lie in the same state
 " way
 As the millions in merit and worth When casket and coffin both find meath the
 clay
 Ample room in but six feet of earth When the echo is gone from the highway and
 street, s. That sung of one mighty and proud To prove, though the wide world be laid at
 thy feet,
 Twill be lost in the folds of the shroud -George E, Powell, in Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Czar's Family.

The empress of Russia has her daughters much with her. and has not even n SO called governess for them. Her own personal attendant and her lady of honor serve also for them. In part this springs from the emperor's love for simplicity of life. but m part, also, that they try to surround themselves with as few peo- pie as possible, so that as little as may be concerning their private lie should transpire to the outer world |, of whom they are, and not without good renson, much afraid. The em- press superintends in person the edu- cation of the two little grand duchesses, Nenie and Olga, nged re- spectively II and G. The emperor in his leisure moments tries to do the same for his boys. Especially he loves to give them music and dancing lessons, for he thinks him. self n great musician, and has n pre- affection for the eornet- u piston. Leisure Hours.

| UrtouUu accuracy.
 Itwas a period ofhorrible uncertain. ty, and when at last the clumsy craft floated right between the double rows of canoes the suspense was al- most unbeareble. From both sides scores of dark savage faces watched us sharply, keenly, so close, indeed, that one could see plainly their greasy locks, the ornaments glittering on their half naked bodies and the weapons firmly clutched in their quivering hands. We seemed to move by riches, and could scarce repress a shout of impatlence. Every eye was fixed on the chief, but in the face of Redvers' revolver that dusky in dividual, who held all our lives in his hand, dared make no sign, and so we | driited on in solemn silence.
 | l knew not how ferventlv the saw ages longed to let fly their deadly spears. Even the chief, doubting his own influence, was visibly disturbed, and think he was as much relieved os any person present when the boat floated past the last bunch of canoes and the open river lay ahead of us. l wheeled round, rife in hand, but not dacoit stirred, and in this po- sition we remained until q curve in the river hid the enemy from view.
 We held on to our prisoner until we reached a point five miles below where the river narrowed and grew swifter. Here true to promise, 1 em- parked him in shallow water, and, wading to shore, he plunged into the forest without a backward glance. We had little fear of pursuit now, for the country was more open and the current was strong, and before noon was safely arrived at Talo and an- chored our precious boat load of pro- visions along the bank.
 1t turned out to have been a very fortunate expedition after all The presence of such q force of dacoits in the neie ehborhood was very timely discovery, and when they erept down on Us after dark that same night they met with such defeat as assured a quieter condition of affairs for some 1 time to come.
 From one of the prisoners who fell into our hands learned to my cha grin and dismay that the dacoit chief whom l had held in such briefcaptiv- ity was notorious robber on whose head more than one price had been set. l readily understood then how groundless had been our fears when we tioated through the gaunt- let of the robbers, and l shud- dered to think how close l had stood to that sanguinary monster. Still, even had his identity been known, honor would have compelled me to keep my promise and release him.
 In very short time Redvers' pre- diction came true, for, though small bodies of dacoits still lurked in the inaccessible spots along the river. they maintained very frigid and distant demeanor towards the trad CTS boats, and before long we were living every whit as royalty as his royal highness, the rajah of Munni- pore.-Philadelpia Times.

An Expensive Cigar,

The costliest cigar smoked in New York is said to be a Havana Henry Clay, which is usually sold wrapped in gold or silver foil and which costs $1.25 apiece Ut retail. As to the cost of manufacture oi such a cigar n manufacturer says that it is who'll ly impossible to make q cigar whose actual cost, with the use of the cloic- est and most costly material through out, can exceed twenty-five cents. The cigar retailed in tho market for $l costs the manufacturer about fii- teen cents. There is n small added item of expense in stamping. and the boxing may ce made more or less cost ly; but svtn with these added it will be seen that the profit on ths higher grade of cigars is immense.

That Third Party.

TO the Editor of The Herald and
News: In your issue of the 18th IN
slant appears the following in the edi-
torial columns:
"Col. F. S. Keitt is advocating a
third party. The Alliance does not
want it. and Col. Keltt will be almost
alone in these parts in his advocacy OF
s1ch a scheme. We are not ready for
that yet"
The writer was not aware that any
one had authority to say what the
Alliance wants or does not want. one
not member of the order certainly has
no authority to speak for it. The mem
bers of the several organizations that
have confederated and will confederate
will determine next February, through
their delegates who will meet in Wash
inston City, whether or not they will
form a peoples party. The writer
smoke for himself alone and gave the
reasons for the faith that is in HIM.
Please reproduce my letter on the sub
iect that your readers may fully under
stand the matter. You will find 1t IN
the National Economist, the organ OF
the National Farmers Alliance, of the
18th and in the News and Courier OF
the 10th instant.
Very respectfully,

The Abbeville Press and Banner IS
kind enough to say, in reply to our
question, "Why should not Newoerry
have a canning factory" that it sees no
reason in the world why she should
not, except it be that the business men
and the men who have money 90 not
care to invest it that way. 1t was very
kind of the Press and Banner thus to
enliphten our mind and answer our
puzzling question that's puzzllng to
US, And still the answer is not salts
factory. Canning factories pay else
where and we think our citizens have
as much business tact as those OF any
other town and do not see why they
should not pay here.
But the canning factory is comlng'
and we are sorry we C t suggest TO
the Press and Banner some way by
which Abbeville can secure the services
of a good and first-class baker. An
advertisement in The Herald and News
is the best way we can think Of now.
Suppose you try that cotemporary. 1t
pays.

Library Society.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News:-Can you interest your readers
in the effort now being made to organ
ize and maintain in the town Of New
berry Circulating Library? Such an
institution could be made q source OF
great usefulness and pleasure; and, in a
town of Newberry's size and advant-
ages, a Circulating Library could sue
ceed. The privileges of membership
moreover, might be extended to the
citizens of the county, thus increasing
the influence and usefulness Of the Or
eanization. Rocks are cheap now; and
a library could be furnished at a COM
paratively small cost.
In connection with a library, there
could be supported reading room
where one could find some of the news
papers and magazines Of the day
Everybody who can read wants to read
The great trouble about the matter Isl
however. few have the means to buy
books. Is it not possible, however, tc
follow in Newberry the example OF
some other towns in the State and by
a union of effort obtain that which IN
dividual poverty denies one?

LIBRARY FOR NEWBERRY.

The letter from correspondent, pub
1;shed in another column of this issue
of The Herald and News, indicates
that an effort is being made to organize
a Library Society in the town OF New
berry. In fact, we to-day give place 10
the notice of a meeting which is called
for next Friday evening to consider the
subject. Regarding the practlcaolilty
and wisdom Of such an undertaking
there can scarcely be any question.
Years ago, before Newberry was near
so big a town, there was a library
society in existence here. To-day,
with college and with an improved
system of schools, to say nothing OF the
number of people in our midst who can
and do read, library could be maze
to succeed.
Few people have either the means or
the inclination to buy all Of the books
that each year issue from the press
Except in very rare instances, more
over, when one has read a book it is
laid aside and that is the last OF 1t. Is
it not possible, however, as suggested
in the letter referred to, for many-ny
pulling together-to enjoy advantages
single efforts may be unable to bring:
IT would not be unwise to make tne
experiment. Other towns have success
fully tried the plan; and we see nc
reason why Newberry, with so much
in her favor, could not do equally as
well. For the success of the under
taking The Herald and News will GER
tainly do ali in its power. May we
therefore, not hope that on next FIJI
day night the movement will be pu'
firmly on foot?

The News and Courieris cruel enough
to intimate that Col. Keitt wants a
third party because he was not elected
to the United States Senate by the last
Legislature, and now here comes the
Laurens Advertiser and says Col. heltt
wants a third party, and it wants to
know if the third party wants Col.
Keitt. Now we will not be so cruel as
to assign any such reasons to Col. keltt
for his advocacy of third party for he
has assured us that he was in no proper
sense of the word candidate for United
States Senator at the last Legislature
There is a probability, however, that
he would have accepted the office If it
had been rendered. And who would
not?

We direct attention to the communl-
cation in another column of DR.. w. f.
Pelham. He treats of live subjects and
in an interesting manner. They concern
the people of Newberry and their IN
terests. We do not all agree on
these important questions and a
little agitation and discussion will re-
suit in good. No harm can be done
by throwing on the light. When the
matter of water works and electric
lights comes to be tested we presume
the majority will rule and the minority
will have to submit. The Herald and
News wants free, square fightand Will

GEN. JOSEPH +. JOHNSTON.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, one OF the
great leaders of the Confederacy and
the hero of three wars, has passed
over the river to Join Lee and Jackson
and a host of others who have gone be-
fore. He was S. years old. Only few
weeks ago he attended the funeral Of
MS opponent in arms, Gen. Sherman:
and it is said the exposure on that oc'
casion hastened the end of his life. In
our next issue we will publish the story
of his life. One by one the great leaders
in the greatest war Of history are pass
ing away. Their memory should be
cherished by their descendants.

During the summer Of 1889 my eighteen
