INDIAN RUNNERS.

The Indian runners are familiar
figures in Mexico. They are employed
by the government to carry the mails
among the Sierra Nevada mountains,
and make better time than any ami
NAL that could be employed. A run
ner will carry from 20 TO 80 pounds Of
mail and never be delayed by wash
outs or swollen streams. lie is al
ways on an easy run, that must carry
him along six or seven miles an hour
at least. He is nearly always dressed
in white cotton cloth, which makes
him a conspicuous figure against the
sombre green and black tints OF the
high mountain levels, and which, late
in the evening. causes him to look like
a ghost or specter fitting among the
pines and frs and moss-coyered bould-
ers strewn along the trail. The trails
on the steep places wind backward
and forward in stretches from 80 TO
IS yards in length, in order to find a
grade up which heavily laden pack
mule can make his way. But the
athletic carrier does not run the whole
length OF windings in descending hill.
He cuts off the corners at each end by
placing his hand on the edge OF the
trail and vaulting to the lower level
whenever the two levels are not more
than six or seven feet apart. All this
time he never gives up the little dog
trot that is carrying him forward 30
rapidly and surely. The carrier will
in half an hour go down a mountain
side that would take the best mule in
a bullion train or the heetest one rid
den by the little Mexican caballero,
the best rider in the world. half day
To accomplish. In ascending, too, the
carrier has methods of taking shorter
cuts up the sleeper inclines, so as TO
gain time and distance at every turn.

Poison of the Teeth.

Biting the nails is an exceedingly
dangerous practice, as the bitter never
knows when to stop, and at any mo-
ment is liable to bite into "the quick"
and cause blood poisoning. Even
when the utmost care is taken OF the
teeth, a poisonous secretion is apt to
collect on them, and the entrance OF
a minute portion OF this into the circu-
lation may prove as certainly fatal as
the pus on surgeons scapel.-Boston

Matter for Investigation.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. IA mater
which is us yet too vague to warrant con
lectures affecting the integrity of any
one, came to light to-day. Col. Lips
comb, late superintendent of the poni-
tentiary, who turned over the institution
and it's belongings last Saturday to his
successor, Col. Talbert, informed him
that there had been shortage Of some
$500 in the cash, that is, that the cash
shown by the books as being OH hand
was thai amount in excess of what was
really on hand. Mr.. w. ID. Bateman,
who WAS Superintendent Lipscomb's
clerk, and who was clerk of the board Of
directors, had made the amount good, as
Col. Iipscomb Informed Col. Talbert.
Under these circumstances Col. Talbert
sought the advice of Attorney General
Pope, who advised him to have I'LL the
| old books of the institution locked up
until an examination could be made, and
new ones put in use. a new set of books
was therefore procured, and the former
books are to be gone through to discov-
er where the error is.

a Fatal Fall in Charleston

CHARLESTON, Jan. S.-Yesterday
morning, about twenty minutes before
o'clock, a most horrible tragedy was
enacted at 1913 King street. the premises
OF the Forest House. Daniel +. Berry,
one of the three male occupants Of
Room II, at the Northeast corner of
the highest story of the house, precipi-
tated himself full thirty feet below
upon an old wagon body lying in Mr.
Thomdss furniture yard, breaking his
neck and otherwise injuring his body
1t appears that Berry had been drink
ing for the past two or three days. On
Wednesday night he got on another
spree, and was seen in some of the low
est dives in the city. He reached his
boarding house yesterday morning af.
ter night of reckless dissipation, about
half-past o'clock, and fastened to his
room, which was also occupied by two
OF his friends. The noise made by him
in going across the room to the window
awakened the two occupants, Miller
and Jackson, but by the time they
had fallen from the window and was
a mangled corpse.
Daniel +. Berry was over so years of
age although he scarcely looked 40.
lie lived few miles from the town of
Marion and has good connections. In
Radical times he was appointed Sheriff
OF Marion County, and served for four
years. Ever since that time he has
been familiarly known as "Sherilf''
Berry. When sober he was quiet and
peaceable man, but drink was his great
enemy and was the ultimate cause of
his ruin.
