Blows and Curses.

Dawn was about to break, cold
and gray
A belated pedestrian was the first
in all probability to hear the
sound of sickening blows emanat-
ing from the rear of the brown
stone mansion on the corner.
He paused and listened.
Presently there mingled with
the horrifying noise oaths of a
high degree of blasphemousness
and seething with passion.
The oaths and the blows, it was
apparent, had one and the same
source.
Obviously something dreadful
was being done.
Several belated pedestrians had
now assembled. They looked at
each other with blanched faces.
"Murderl" they gasped.
The blows fell like rain. The
oaths flowed no less copiously.
They could remain transfxed
with horror no longer. They burst
open the door:
"Whacher want?'
The woman who turned upon
them like q wild beast held jag
ged club in her hand, and her eyes
had baleful glare in them.
Presently they overpowered and
disarmed her.
"What do you mean?"
Her discourse was distinguished
by singular ferocity.
Several belaled pedestrians held
her while others searched the
prsmieses.
After a time the latter returned.
Softly they Whispered in the ears
of the former. Then they gently
released the woman. who after
they were gone, again fell to
pounding the steak for breakfast

DEAR ADVERTISER: The mar
riage of Mr.. John James Bell to
Miss Matte Sue, the Youngest
daughter of our friends Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. P. Covar, on Thursday
evening, the 18th inst, was an oc-
casion of much interest and pleas
ure to the friends of the manly
groom and his fair bride. Mr.. Bell
is a young mechanic of unusua al
skill-his work on our new Meth.
odist Church attesting his superior
qualifications as an artisan-dili-
gent in business, of fine moral and
Christian character, he is one of
our worthiest citizens. The gentle
bride is just "sweet SIXTEEN" but
possesses many womanly graces,
For some time she has been a mest
efficient typo in the office of the
AnvERr1sER, as you know. Doubt.
less she will prove "helpmeet, :"
indeed, to the worthy young man,
whom she delights to call "lord," {"
May they be heirs together of the
grace of life. May the Divine
Christ
with gifts of grace their heart,
endow,
OF all rich dowries best;
Their substance bless aud peace
bestow
Tosweeten all therest."

just Like A Story.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Dec.-Four
beautiful odalisques, or female
slaves, were. recently presented
by the Khedive to the Sultan of
Turkey and placed in the imperial
harem. The odalisques appear to
have had a captivating influence
onthe Sultan who paid SO much
attention as to excite the jealousy
of the others. The beautiful slaves
were found murdered in their beds
a few days ago, having fallen
victims to poison. The Sultan was
deeply enraged and ordered q rigid
investigation and severe punish
ment of the guilty. Three Eunchs
who hnd access to the apartments
of the victims have been arrested
on suspicion of having been the
persons who actually administered
the poison and at the latest ac-
counts were subjected ito torture
in order to compel them to make
full confession. The suspicion of
having instigated the crime rests
chiefly on one Of the concuEines,
who, until e~edalisques arrived,
almost monopolized the Sultan's
affections. In the present temper
of His Majesty it is doubtful
whether even she would escape
the bow-string or the Bosphorus
should sufficient proof of her guilt
bs adduced.

directors of the Southern Associa.

No More Politics.

WASHINGTON, Dec.-George G.
Tanner, q confederate soldier and
political follower of General Wade
Hampton, wrote him and urged
him to reconsider his resolution
refusing to again enter South
Carolina politics. He has also
outlined certain plans by which
he believed the General could
triumph over his enemies. To this
letter Mr. Tanner has received
the following reply:
Columbia, S. G. Dec. 18th.
Dear Tanner:-I am obliged to
you for your kind letter which
reached me q few days ago. Under
no possible circumstances or
persuasion would / take any place
offered me by South Carolina. I
was urged to become a candidate
for &C vernon at the last election,
but I refused, nor would l accept
the position if every NAL in the
state desired me to do 80. have
settled my accouts between the
state and myself and I am perfectly
satisfied with the result. I am
rejoiced only to know that the
affection of my old soldiers for me
remains unshaken in storm as
well as in calm. Thanking you
for your kind interest. Yours truly

AN ACRosTIC.

! J.
Written in memory of little
Gussie Glanton, the sweet and
bright little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Glanton, of Augusta,
Ga. Her death was simply pass
port to that long home where the
blighting dew of death never
comes, and where adieus and fare
wells are sounds unknown.
Gone to her long home beyond the
skies,
Unto Him who doeth all things well,
Send us back message,
Saving place for us to dwell.
In the arms of Jesus, darling,
Enrobed in purity sweet,
Give your parents blessings,
Loved one, until we meet;
Another tear we drop,
Now on thy cold silent grave;
Tomorrow we may be with you,
Der head, with angels, saved,
Now long sweet farewell.

A Pennsylvania mine boss is
Dragging about a mule which was
sharp enough to recognize q boy
who had set fire to the stable in
which she was. The mule was
badly burned, and when she saw
the boy she rushed on him and
would have ohawed him up if
he hadn't been rescued from her
fury. Up to that time she had
been so gentle that the boys
could play jackrocks between her
heels. But the mule that wouldn't
fire up and chaw a boy under
those circumstances isn't much of
q mule.

Recent curious observations
indicate that.our appreciation of
food depends largely-if not
chieay-upon the sense of smell.
A student 81 years of age had
inherited from his mother the
defect acquired by her in child
hood, of complete absence of smell,
taste and other sensations being
unaffected He could taste no
difference between tea, coffee and
water, In three trials out of FIVE
he confused bitter almond water,
but distinguished between either
and either and amonia Fruit
syrups were simply sweet, with no
difference of flavor. Cloves and
cinnamon we're recognized but
mustard and pepper gave only a
sharp sensation ON the tongue.

OFF WENT HIs HEAD.
While the Vulgar Herd Laughed
With Delight.

WlGu NclS uOs
PARIS. Dec Eugene Cramtpon
the murderer of two men, was
guillotined this morning, and the
canaille that gathered %o see the
execution greatly Ajoyed, the
spectacle afforded blythe miserable
cowardly wretch as he was liter
ally carried to the guillotine.
At exactly Z o'clock the prison
doors swung inward and the pro-
cession could be seen approaching.
Champion, who was III an agony
of fear, was supported by the
wardens and accompanied by a
priest. who, as he walked, read the
services for the dying. The grim
and awful red guillotine loomed
up directly ahead of the. little
party. 1t was only few steps
from the prison. After walking a
few feet Champion raised his eyes
and saw it. With a terrible shrek
he threw himself backwards and
feel to the ground All efforts to
induce him to. rise, was fruitless
and he grovelled Oh the aagstones,
begging most piteously for life.
To a person of any sensibility, the
scene was one of deepest horror,
but a crowd Of roughs and aban-
doned women took the keenest
delight in witnessing the abiect
fear and listening to the frantic
appeals of the hemurderer.
It became necessary for the
executioners assistant to lift
Champion to his feet, but even
then he hung limp in their arms
and they we're compelled to carry
him to the guillotine. While some
of the assistants supported him.
others quickly bound him and
threw him against the bascule.
Even then he did not cease his
struggles. His conto.tions were
terrible, but they did not last long.
The bascule was dropped into
place and the assistants showed it
forward until Crampton's neck
rested in the lunette. Then
Monsieur Paris attired, as
usual. in the conventional frock
coat and silk hat, touched the
spring holding the knife. Silently
and like a streak of light the
right blade fell, and Crampton's
head dropped in the open basket
awaiting it.
The execution was the most
horrible one that has been witness
sed in Paris in many years: The
crowd, highly pleased with the
entertainment the state had
afforded them, dispersed, laughing
and joking with each other.
Champion was an old offender
against the law. On the night
of March 8, last, he, in company
with two accomplices, went to the
billiard room of a wine shop in
the Rue St. Dennis. They broke
into an adjoining room and were
plundering it when the landlady
of tie place entered and surprised
them. The woman gave the alarm
and the thieves fled. A number Of
men followed them and were gain
ing upon Champion when he turn
ed and shot two of them dead
and wounded "a thid. His
aocompl plicesescaped.

For the love Of Barbara Allen.
He sent a servant unto her,

For the love Of Barbara Allen"
3If your masters sick and very sick,
And death is onihim dweliln',

So slow she went unto him,

And death Is Ger me stealin',
And none the better will ever be
Without the love Of Barbara Allen"

When our town was drinking,
You drank the health of the ladies all
around,
But slighted Barbara Allen"
He turned his pale face to the wall,
He turned,his back unto her,
"Adieu to one, adieu to all,
But woe to Barbara Allen"
She scarce had got one mile from town,
When death bell struck her,
And as it ringed it seemed to sing,
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen"

Sweet William died for me to-day,

They buried sweet William in one deep
grave,
And Barbara in another,
Out of her grave red rose sprung,
And out of his briar.
They grew and they grew to the top

And they could not grow any higher,
And there they met in true love knot
The rose around the hriar.
