He was born at Maitland, New South
Wales, about thirty years ago, and learned
blacksmithing and boxing when youth.
At the Australian gold fields he developed
to be good allround athlete. In pugil.
ism he was pupil of Pete Jackson, with
whom he fell out, and who is said to have
vanguished him twice, once with gloves,
and once without in a bar-room brawl.
Slavin made tour through Queensland
and conquered every local pugilist who
stood up before hirh. Later he won sew
eral fights in Sydney, but Mike Costello
checked his career of victory in two drawn
battles. Jack Burke of England was de-
feated by Slavln, who afterwards went to
England, where he changed the order of
his Christian names. He defeated Goode,
Jem Smith and Joe McAuliffe. His last
fight was in Hoboken, N. j., in June,
1891, where he defeated Jake Kilrain in
nine rounds. Slavin is taller than Sulli,
van. He is enormously large chested, but
comparatively woak in the lie gs and loins
In condition he is considerably lighter
than the redoubtable Bostonian.

A Word for the Orphans.

Times are tight aad there are hun
dred childred to feed. That is the state
of affairs at ihe Thornwell Orphanage.
Think of it, there are children gath
cred together at Clinton, from nearly
every Southern State. They are father
less and motherless and would be
homeless but for the good hand of God
who has gathered them under these
protecting roofs and raised up friends
to help them. You, reader, are one Of
those friends, if you will quickly sit
down and write out a check or enclose
a gift to DR.. Jacobs, Clinton, S. G., and
help him to feed those orphans. Or
send a barrel or flour or a sack of corn
or barrel of peas, or rice, or molasses.
The children are from seven different
denominations. There are as many Of
Baptist origin as Presbyterian and as
many Of Methodist as Baptist among
them, so don't stand back on account
of a word of doctrine. They don't
send off a child there because the,
parents did not happen to be of their
faith.
Thanksgiving is close at hand. The
very time to give a thark-otfering to
the helpless.
Christmas is close by. How could
you forget to make the orphans happy
at such time. And mark you, if you
and people like you do not pity and
help these orphans they will have
nothing to eat or wear.

calf had begun on the roses. The sight
made me sick away down. The front
yard looked like q man with one side
of his whiskers shaved off. My first
impulse was to rush frantically forth
and kill the calf. My ne-v was to drive
her gently over to the other side and
let her eat that down, so as to restore
the equilibrium. Then I wondered if
they were not thick enough for me to
take some Of them up and replant the
side that was desolate, but the ground
was too hard and dry, and so I drove
the aggravating beast to the lot and
shut her up. My comfort is that I
bought that calf to please Mrs. Arp,
and Captain Peacock never told me
that she was fond of chrysanthemums.
called my wife to the door and pointed
to the pitiful spectacle. She never said
word. She never said 81 told you
So" but she looked sad, like somebody
was dead. For little while she posed
as martyr, and then resumed her
household duties. The trouble is that
every time we go to the front piazza
we see it and it mars the pleasant pros
pect. 1t keeps US from feeling calm
and serene. But by and by the flowers
will fade aud leaves will fall, and then
we will forget it. Old Father time is
good doctor.
Well, I haven't been to see King
Solomon, and I am not going until the
controversy is settled. The Baptistc
say it is a good thing and the Methodists
say it is very bad thing, and so I will
wait uk$il the Presbyterians have their
say. Oua preacher hasent said word,
Heard Ian say that the Baptists
were increasing more rapidly than he
ever knew them, for there were $4,000
new ones in the show every night.
Maybe they were the same old ones
who keep on going. But it is we'll for
US that the preachers stand like senti-
nels on the watch towers and warn the
people. They may sometimes cry
danger when there is no danger, but
they are nevertheless, the best sentinels
we have got. There may be extremists
and fanatics among them, but had
rather risk them for good advice and
good example than any other profess
sion. They are the leaven that leavens
society. They are the salt that pre-
serves morality. They are our comfort
in trouble and sickness and at the open
grave. Good people honor them every
where. There is not a college in our
State, male or female, but has preach
er at its head, their moral and high
tone and Christian influence over the
youth of the land inspires them to
noble conduct and goes down from
generation to generation.
Blessings on the preachers.

Three Unsuccessful Ventures.

The inventors of the various flying
machines or devices for travelling
through the upper air, that have been
heard of this yea., especially in the
West, have all failed to get their ma
chimes ir working order. But they all
declare that they will yet win success.
The Chautauqua dress reformers now
admit that they have been unableto
introduce their new style Of feminine
garb beyond the geographical limits OF
Chautauqua. But they still maintain
that they will yet introduce it every
where.
The artificial rain producers, who
have been operating for the past four
months in Texas and Colorado, and
whose boasting has resounded over the
country, have given all the necessary
evidence of the failure Of their expert
ments. Bat they still boast that they
will yet bring rain when it is wanted.

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL.
John 81. Iuman and the Calhouns have Per.
fected their Financial Arrangements.
1Special to News and Courier

Especial to News and Courier.j
NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
Richmond Terminal affairs are rapidly
Strengthening out and Wall street is
to-day less doubtful of the company's
future veal. There has been so many
irresponsible stories about the concern
circulated, both in print ard prattle,
that facts are worth premium. What
ever else may or may not yet remain
unsettled, one thing is absolutely cer-
tain, that the floating debt of the Geor-
gia Central Railroad is entirely pro-
vided for. ALI the papers pertaining
10 the matter are signed and the money
is up. It is never safe to report a fnan-
cial undertaking in Wall street a sue
cess until every detail has been accom-
plished. Consequently while the Gen.
trails negotiation has looked very pron-
ising for several weeks past, it has
never been cock sure until to-day.
The arrangement is entirely satisfae-
tory to all concerned. 1t puts the Cen
tral beyond the possibility of any
monetary stringency, and makes new
friends for the property eminently
worth having. The strong banking
house of Speyer & Co., together with
other prominent firms with influential
foreign connections, constitute the syn
dicate which has taken the loan.
Great credit is due John G. Calhoun
in this matter. Through his personal
efforts the arrangement was effected.
The success of the negotiation silences
all talk against the Calhoun brothers,
and makes their position in the Termi-
nal management enviable and secure.
They are stronger to-day than they
have ever been.
John II. Inman will remain the head
of the whole Terminal system as long
as it suits his pleasure to retain the
place, and he and the Calhouns are in
thorough accord. MI. ".

A TRANSACTION IN MAKING RAIN
Sale Of a Rain Company's Secret Process for
$4,000.

TEMPLE, Ten, Nov. 9.-Rain makers
have been at work here. They came
from Kansas, are called the Interstate
Artificial Rain Company, snd have
their headquarters at Goodland, Kan.
This company, Of which E. H. Muir
ply is President, was negotiating q sale
OF their secret to stock company, and
the experiment here was the last of a
series that resulted favorably. The
stock company, through its agent ac-
companying the party, signifed its sat-
isfaction with the experiments.
The party, consisting of President
Murphy, Messrs. Smith, Bush, and
Morris, arrived in the city on Sunday,
Nov. !, and commenced operation on
Monday evening IN small clubhouse at
the edge of town. The conditions were
extremely unfavorable for rain.
No results could be seen at first, but
on Friday the sky became overcast with
clouds. On Saturday a high south
wind prevailed, and on Saturday night
some rain came from the southwest.
On Sunday rain fell all day and at
night another arose. Reports from 100
to laO milesaround;this town show that
rain fell on Sunday in most localities in
considerable quantities.
The rain makers are jubilant and
claim the rain fell on account Of their
efforts. They closed the bargain for
the purchase of their secret upon the
results here aud yesterday left for
home. 1t is understood that $4,000
was the price. The process is
claimed to be fat used by Melbourne.

this room that if the medical fraternity
would acknowledge the efficacy cf his
treatment he would publish every fact.
in connection witn it. Forgie's case
was not test case by any means. He
was brandy drurkard, and one eat+se
worst I ever saw. He could hardly
walk when he cane here. He was not
discharged as cured, but went away
against my advice. His case was not
a failure. He took the bit between his
teeth and went away before be should
have gone.
"Now, here is letter from doctor
in Troy. 1t came three days ago. He
drank liquor for ten years, and is only
81 years old. He has been >at Fort
Hamilton and in the Christian Home.
Before he came 70 White Plains, on
July . of this year. he was drinking
daily anything oyer and above quart
of whiskey he could get. he left here
August II, and, as you see, he says in
his letter he has not tasted drop or
had any desire to do So"
After the talk with the doctor the .
reporter walked into the main hall of
the Institute. II was 5o'clock in the
afternoon. Thirty or forty men, young
and old, all we'll dressed, all bright
looking, were lounging around agood
many had their coats off with the shirt
sleeve Of one arm rolled up. They
talked freely, and not q man expressed
a disbeliefin the cure. Pretty soon the
doctor came in and went to a table,
and, taking a hypodermic syringe,
filed it with a red fluid taken from
shell-shaped saucer n front of him.
The first man stepped forward, held
up his arm, the doctor inserted the
point of the syringe, ana withdrew it
in a second. The whole operation did
not take ten seconds.
On the way to the station groups OF
men were going to be 'tspeared," )" as
they call it, and in the hotel there were
card parties and men playing billiards
and pool. There was temptation
enough, but no one seemed to heed it.
The hotel saloon keepers were unani-
nous in saying that they had seen but
one or two backsliders.

Wade Hampton.
darlington Herald

In their inordinate and insane desire
TO court popular favor, some of the sub
treasury papers have sc far forgotten
every sentiment of gratitudea as to speak
in disparaging terms of thCarolina's
most distinguished son-Wade Hamp-
ton. We very much mistake the tenn
a,ss Of the people if any number of
d6fss f6es sentiments of these
ofdcesesE d Who I'D not
repudiate with Indignation any words,
save those Of respect and affection, used
in connection with his name.
The very men who are speaking in
this way of him, would, few years
ago, have considered it distinguished
honor to have shaken his hand; and
simply because, in the exercise of his
judgment, he differed from them on
some public questions, must needs
speaks of him in the same terms they
might use in speaking of a professional
politician. They should never have
aught else than the scorn and contempt
of every true son of South Carolina,
and this alone should forever debar
them from securing any office of honor
or profit in the State. Have they for
gotten the dark days Offs, when Wade
Hampton held the destinies of the
whole State in his hands, and when it
was only by his courage, his unselfish-
ness and his great influence that we
were saved from the political robbers
that had brought US to- the verge of
ruin? Great as he was in war, be was
greater still in peace, and his proudest
record is that of the political savior of
his people. The knightly soul of Wade
scars far above the foul and
murky atmosphere in which his de-
tractors grovel; and when the present
generation shall have passed away,
and the record of Cardinals illustrious
dead is written up, the name of Wade
Hampton, the knightliest of a knightly
race, and peer of Sydney or Bayard,
will embazon one of the brightest pages
OF her history, while the names of bis
defamers will sink into we'll lnerited
oblivion.

believes that when the people vote
party into power that that party should

Crooked Work.

Alter all the excitement oS er the
tug -of-war in San Francisco, it Is
to be regretted that crookedness
should crop out.
1t is charged that a trick was
resorted to by several teams,
nearly all in fact. The anchor
man, who is the one at the end,
has the rope fastened around his
waist, and there is a big knot on
his right side.
During the tug the men are
frequently PROSTATE with their feet
against the cleats of the floor.
All the anchor man has to do is
to lie down so that the knot falls
behind a clcat, and ten teams
could not pull it an inch.
The knot holds the other team
level until they are exhausted,
while the team taking advantage
OF the trick are having a good
rest.
It seems impossible for any kind
Of sport to take place in San Fran
cisco without some kind Of crook
edness is attached to it.
