It Brought Him to the Grave,

His race was almost run, the feeble old man
sitting by the fountain in the park and vacantly
staring into the splashing water says the
Detroit Tribune. Ever and anon distressing
cough shook his emaciated frame and sent an
unhealthy, purple blush into his hollow cheeks
Even the very busy people, hurrying to and
fro with thoughts fixed upon selfish ambition,
were fam to notice the aged invalid and to
wonder at seeing such a wreck abroad At
length youth OF noble carriage paused before
the pitiful figure and regarded him with sad in
terest. You are very i'll, the young man
ventured sympatheticaly; "can l not help
you" The careworn, pallid face lighted with
sudden joy. You are very kind, indeed, -
gasped the sufferer. I" A fit OF coughing
interrupted his words, and it seemed as
if the frail thread OF life must snap
with the CONFUSION. "I-am-past-help."
The paroxysm was gone and the poor body was
trembling for sheer weakness. "My friend -
the old man faltered when he was finally able to
speak, II am warning. have killed myself
by my perversity." DRINK suggested the
youth. The invalid shook his head. Cigar

The ire-fghting incident at Camp North
en- day before yesterday, when the First
regiments quarters were threatened. recalls
another fire-dghting incident in which some
Georgia troops-the First Brigade Georgia
militia, the State Line brigade and the
Forty -seventh Georgia regiment-took a
leading part. The scene was laid at Honey
Hill, s. c.. in November, 1854. Some ZOO
confederates, including the Georgians men,
toned, we're being hotly pushed by about
5000 federals. The confederates were get-
ting the worst Of it, as might be supposed.
considering the proportionate numbers
engaged, and a flank movement was about
to be begun against them which would have
wiped the plucky little band out of existence
But just at this juncture the confederates
took advantage of a circumstance that
changed the fortunes of the day. A large
field Of dry broom-grass separated the COM
batants. This was instantly set on fire and
burned furiously, with a wind sweeping the
flames toward the invaders, who were
thrown into great disorder. While the
federals were fighting the fire and shedding
unwilling tears. because of the smoke in
their eyes, the gallant l, 700 were getting
fixed" And when the union forces finally
came, the Georgians and Carolinians were
prepared for them, and then and there
gained one Of the most brilliant victories of
the war, small though it may have been as
to the effect it had on the re-
suit of the war. History records
it that in that engagement the federals lost
between 800 and 1000 men killed and
wounded. while the loss of the confederates
was but four killed and forty wounded.

Senator Mcmillan on Tuesday introduced
resolution in the Senate which has set all
Washington agog. The resolution is the
first step by the government in the direc-
ton of taking possession of the entire water
front of the city Of Washington, which, it
is commended, belongs to the government,
but which merchants, ship owners, and
Others have occupied for many years, and
which. no doubt, they think they own by
right OF squatter sovereignty. AS the prop
erty in question includes all there is OF coal
docks, steamboat wharves, lumber piers,
warehouses, etc., in the District of Columbia,
the introduction Of the resolution greatly
d1sturbs the business community. The
legal advisers Of the government, it is under.
stood, say that the occupants of the water
front property have no sort of title. and that
the government has the right to demand
rental for every foot of the property covered
by the terms of the resolution.

Some northern newspapers are com ment-
ing favorably upon an incident that trans
pired during the visit Of Admiral Gherardi's
feet to Charleston. All the officers of the
squadron attended the opera one evening.
At the end of the third act the whole troupe
came before the curtain and sang the Star
Spangled Banner" The actresses carried
small American flags in their belts. During
the singing of the patriotic song all of the
officers stood up, and the whole house fol-
lowed suit. and when it was finished ap-
plauded the song with an energy and fervor
that made the incident impressive. Such
incidents as this. occurring in the very
''cradle of secession" is enough to make
rabid sectionallsts ashamed of themselves.

What Does Hill Purpose to Do ?


There is good deal of speculation as TO
what course Senator Hill will pursue with
respect to the presidential nomination now
that it is evident that he stands no chance
of getting it. Three-fourths Of the states
have chosen delegates, and it is doubtful il
he has a hundred supporters among the
whole number. OF the states that elected
delegates on Wednesday New Jersey and
Washington instructed for Mr.. Cleveland
and Kentucky and Colorado gave no instruc-
lions. In the Colorado convention there
was considerable applause for Senator Hill,
but there was none for him II the Ken
lucky convention. Indeed, the chances are
that the Kentucky delegation will favor MIR.
Cleveland il it appears that Mr.. Carlisle has
no prospect Of getting the nomination.
There was very strong Cleveland senti-
ment in the Kentucky convention, and if it
had not been known that Mr. Carlisle was
candidate it is pretty certain that Cleve-
land delegates would have been chosen.
A day or two ago it was thought that
Senator Hill was considering the question of
the advisability Of withdra wing from the
contest. There was report to that effect
but it was not generally credlted. 1t is
probable that he entertains the hope of being
able to dictate the nomination. If he does
he will remain candidate until the nomina-
| ton is made.
But is there any prospect that he will
have sufficient power to name the nomineel
There is nothing to indicate that there is.
The convention will be controlled by Mr..
CIavalon1i5 frianIo r..
fails to get the necessary two-thirds of the
convention, they will dictate the nomina-
| ton. From present appearances, therefore,
Senator Hill will be without any special
influence in the convention. He will neither
get the nomination nor say who shall
have it.

The confessions OF Deem'ng, which cons
tinue to appear at intervals although the
murderer is dead, tend to show that he
went about his butcheries in cool and
calculating manner. A few days before his
death, in relating to a Jail official the de-
said he killed her with an ornamental battle
ak during a quarrel and then carried the
body into the yard and. cutting the throat,
bled the corpse in order that decomposition
might be delayed. Only a professional
butcher would have done such an act.

"Tom" O'Brien, the ''bunco king" is fest
making a reputation as one of the cleverest
scoundrels unhanged. He was recently SEN
fenced to ten years Imprisonment at Albany.
N. Y. for robbing man Of $4,000. After
serving only a week or two O'Brien man
aged to slip away from deputy who was
taking him to a court, and esca ped to
France. Two or three days ago he was ar
rested by the Paris police, but in less than
twenty-four hours he had so successfully
played upon the confidence Of his captors
that he was again a free man. He began
by extravagantly admiring everything
French, then he denounced the Germans in
unmeasured terms, and finally invited his
guards into a cafe to taste little wine. The
policemen were simply charmed by the
elegant manners Of their captive, and soon
he became host. During the midst OF the
wine-bibbing O'Brien excused himself for q
moment and stepped toward the rear Of the
saloon. He has not returned yet, and the
oolice are sad.

The Philadelphia Press classes the cleo
ton of republican President this fall
among the possibilities-not probabilities
please note. 1t SAYS; What the Repub-
hcan party wants is not merely to nominate
q candidate for President at Minneapolis,
but to nominate him in such way as to
make his election possible If the nomina-
ton is made in a certain way the election
is possible; if in any other way it is not
possible, according to the belief of this high
class republican organ. After the conven-
tion the Press will probably say that the
nomination was made in the possible"
manner.

Those hot-headed Marylanders in the
neighborhood Of Charlestown who lynched
James Taylor several days ago because they
thought he had committed an assault upon
little girl are about convinced that they
made a terrible mistake-they killed the
wrong man; Taylor is believed to have been
innocent. Had the law been allowed to
take its course such state of affairs would
never have come about. However, there is
an opportunity for the law to take its
course 10 the case Of Taylor's lynchers, and
It would do well to make an example Of
them.

Ken1ucky's sepatate Coach Act.

From the Net0 Orleans Times Democrat tDent.)
The separate coach" act, It may be said for
the Tooth time, does not deny equal civil rights
to tfie negro with the white man. Equal civil
rights on railroads do not lpostulate riding in
the same cars. When equally good transporta-
ton accommodation is provided on separate
cars, the equal civil rights demand Of the
constitution is not only fairly but fully complied
with.

He Thinks It ia Democratic.

Senator Irby. of South Carolina, insists
that the platform adopted by the demo-
cratic state convention of that state last
week contains only genuine democratic
doctrines. 1t will be remembered that the
convention adopted the Ocala platform
without making any material changes in it.
But If there is no doubt that the platform
contains only genuine democratic princis
pies why does Senator Irby think it neces-
sary to say>anything in defense OF it9 Is it
not because It needs defending?
Senator Irby has assisted in the ado ption
of other democratic platforms and he did
not feel called upon to defend them. The
reason was that it was apparent to every
one that they were democratic from Begin
ming to end. But that the platform he
helped TO adopt last week is democratic is
not so apparent And that is why, doubt
less, ne is ont in an interview.
The fact is, the platform he defends
would, with q few additions. be pretty
good third party platform. However,
there is one provision of it that will be ap.
proved, and that is that the Democratic
! party Of South Carolina will vote for Mr.
Cleveland If he is the party's nominee

Pirates in Savannah! How the heart of
the small boy must have palpitated when he
read in the MORNING News yesterday that
there were pirates along the water front.
But there is nothing romantic about these
Savannah pirates. They do not sail in a
"long, low, rakish craft" with the skull and
cross-bones at her masthead. They do not
dress in dashlng costumes and arm them
selves each man with seventeen horse pistols
in his belt and bowie knife between his
teeth. They may do little plank-walk-
ing, but the plank is always between a
wharf aud vessel in dock and they walk
it in order to reach something they can
steal. These river pirates are mean. low
down sneak thieves, not worthy of passing
thought by the Economically inclined young
people who have drawn upon stories of sea
adventures for all they know about pirates.
Instead of being embalmed in literature
these local pirates are apt to be buried in
prison cells, If the authorities can catch
than

John 7. Elliott WAS before Magistrate
sasss this morning on the
charge Of trespaas preferred by
Charles +. Ayers, Brandy wine hundred
farmer. George T Brown represented
Elliott. The testimony showed that
Elliott had removed from a firm Ia
Brandywine hundred about two years
ago, and left a tread machine on the
farm The incoming tenant, Ayrss, agreed
TO let the machine rsmkin on the property
providing that suitable amount Of
storage be paid. This was agreed to. but,
when EliotS came to remove the
machine, Ayers stated that the amount OF
storage offered by Elliott was
insufficient When Elliott went 10
the farm to get the M I
chine he was refused IL. he therefore
swore out a writ Of replsvln and secured
the machine Ayers thsrsupon issuad a
warrant Tor his arrest for trespAas.
After hearing eight witnesses this
morning Magistrate sasAe dismissed the
case
