WHAT SHEPPARD AND ORR DID.

In 1876 when the Wallace House made
the famous march from Carolina Hall to take
possession of the State House, John Z. Shcp-
nard marched at the front of that column.
and when they reached the door of the House
Of Representatives It, was the strong arm and
the cool courage Of James l.. Orr which burst
the sentinel-guardedd door open. and under
that arm John c. Sheppard was the first man
to enter that Hall in defence OF the rights OF
the people Of South Carolina, and ever since
that time both of them have been IN the lore
front of every fight for the Democratic party,
long before b. Il. Tillman was ever heard Of
Call these men republicans Either of them
young intelligent and influential could have
had the highest reward from the republican

with all their might TO hur it from power.

1t has been suggested that investiga-
ton be made as to whether or not in.
sanity or nervous diseases are more prev
alent during periods of great magnetic
disturbances than at other times. During
the sun.spot maximum, beginning in
1888, cases of sudden insanity seemed to
be very prevalent. "At the present
time," remarks the Chicago Herald,
(Which is one of intense magnetic uu'
rest, large number of cases OF sudden
insanity are reported. Many people have
experienced that peculiar sensation IN
the head which is a warning Of an ap
preaching thunder storm. Although
this is merely temporary sensation, yet
it seems possible that if carried to an
extreme it might result in what has been
called heliocy. A field for investigation
is here apparent"

II is not often that the body OF a
famous General in active service, and,
what is more, king-maker into the
bargain, finds its way to the morguc,
writes the Marquise de Fontcnoy. Yet
this was the fate wkch befell the bril-.
liant Spanish General, Bonanz', the
other day. He was one OF the Generals
of division who, in 1874, associated
himself with General Martinez in the
nroclamation of Alfonso XII, as King Of
Spain. A few days ago the General,
whose family were enjoying the sea
baths at San Sebastian, died suddenly In
an omnibus in Madrid. He was In civil
ian dress, and as he had no papers about
him indicative OF his name or rank his
corpse was conveyed to the "depo'ito
judicial" or morgue, where 1t was
stripped and permitted to remain ex'
posed to public gaze for three days
among the pauper dead before being
finally recognized. The circumstance is
ali the more astonishing as the General
was well.known and popular figure in
Madrid.

IT is authoritatively announced
that the baseball season IS failure.
This is largely due to the rains that
have prevailed. But there are also
indications Of dearth Of interest in
the games Men do not wait eagerly
for baseball returns as they did sew
eral years ago. They are not base
ball mad. But, while there is mani
festly less interest in baseball than
there was, the subsidence is not in
amateur or non-professional playing,
There is nothing to indicate that the
passion that brings crowd into a
vacant lot at any time Of day to play
ball or to watch others play is sub
siding. The rains have not quenched
its ardor in the least or modified the
enchantment. 1t Is simply ball-play-
ing as business that the public is a
little tired OF. Even II the big clubs
OF professionals were to go out Of ex-
istence the game Of baseball would
be likely TO continue In high favor in

What the New York Post considers {

What the New York Post considers n
fraud of a peculiarly abominable cnar-
acter has come to light in Germany,
where a number of workmen and eu-
gineers employed at the great Bochum
Association for Mining and Steel Foun-
dry have been arrested on a charge Of
selling defective rails, wheels, axles,
ETC.. by means of a system of forgery.
This material was supplied to the Ger
man State Railway, aud then some for
eigu corporations. 1t appears that the
State Railway employed an inspector to
stamp such goods as had withstood the
regular tests. The incriminated work
men are accused of having made false
stamps, with which they marked mater
ial which had not been examined; with
repairing holes, cracks, and other de-
fects in the rails with particular
cement, and so giving the inferior and
useless material the appearance of fin
ished work, and with substituting re.
ected rails for those which the officials
had handed over to be stamped as sat.
isfactory, and marking the good rails
with the forged stamps. The incentive
to the frauds was the fact that the work
men are paid premium on the amount
of work passed by the inspector. How
long they have been indulging in these
dishonest practices, how general tho
distribution of defective material has
been, is still as uncertain as the possible
consequences OF the rascality.
