Of the Episcopal church, mysteriously
disappeared Just after his wite's death
DR.. Fountsnay was Mrs. FsltnNr's ply
siciaB, and had become greatly interested
in the case because Of some peculiar
features that appealed to his professional
zeal. He determined to steal the bedy
from the grave to perform an autopsy.
He had succeeded in removing it, and
was returning the earth, when be re-
ceived a stunning blow from behind.
Quickly turning, he found himself face
to face with Feltnsr, who again attacked
him.
The doctor struck his assallant on the
head with bis shovel, hoping to stun him
and escape. The blow was severe one
and Feltner was instantly killed. Dr..
Fountenay placed the body in the empty
coffiu and burIad it where his wife bad
lain but a few minutes before. The
doctor adopted the two children of his
victim, both of whom are living. Mrs.

SOUTH CAROLINA TO GO INTO THE BUsl-
NESS OF SERVING ITS CITIZENS.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April S.-The
Palmetto State, under the influence OF
Tilmanlsm, is going irtc liquor-selling
business as completely and thoroughly as
France, under the great Napoleon, made
tobacco a Government monopoly.
After July 1, when the new Evans Dis
pensary law goes into effect, liquor can
cnly be obtained at State dispensaries in
sealed packages of from half a pint to five
gallons. which must net be opened on the
premises. Druggists who dispense liquor
other than as compound in medicines are
liable to get into trouble. The liquor men
who banded to fight the act have been
informed by eminent counsel that the
law is not unconstitutional ana advised
to obey it.
One of the principal provisions Of the
law is that the Governor is instructed to
appoint State dispenser at a salary OF
$3.50, wto must be a total abstainer, and
he is to sell to the county boards ef con-
troll such spirituous liquors as have bsen
declared pure by the chemist of the South
Carolina College.
The State commission er cannot receive
more than fifty per cent. profit on his
sales, and all money received is to be
turned into the State treasury. All the
rules governing the commission shall be
made by the State Board of Control, com
posed of the Governor, Comptroller Cen
eral and Attorney General.

Trouble Ahead.

Several days ago we predicted that
there was trouble ahead for Secretary
Carlisle if he insisted upon claiming the
right to name the subordlnates in his de-
partment without previously obtaining
the Presidents consent. The prediction
is fulfilling more rapidly than we antlci-
pated. Already there are rumors OF fric-
ton and irritation IN the intercourse be-
tween the President and certain members
Oh his cabint not linked to Kim by per-
sonal ties like those that bind Bissell and
Lamont.
1t is stated that the presidents course
toward Judge Gresham and Mr.. Carlisle
has been SO arrogant and dominserlng
that these gentlemen now regret having
accented the honors he offered them, and
are considering the propriety of resignlng
at an early day as a matter OF self-respsct'
1t is claimed that Mr.. Cleveland, some
what after the fashion, not to say ego
tism, of LOUIS XIV, looks upon himself
as the Government, and seeks to degrade
his constitutional advisers into mere
clerke to record his WILL How he has
suubbed Congressman in regard to APP
appointments in their states and districts
is matter of.public knowledge.
All this is so oninOus Of trouble au\
NAV prove to be the rock on which Mr.
Cleyeand's administration will split and
pass into history as sad failure in the
face of grand opportunities.
If Mr.. Cleveland IS attempting to lmi'
tate jackson, he is simply overriding the
matter. And the attempt is all the more
ridiculous because of the absence of the
glamour, and romance, and heroism' and
achievement, and wonderful strength OF
character and will power that made Old
Hickory the most unique figure that has
ever appeared in American history, If moi
in the history of the world.-Iader'

CENTRAL OFFICE, LYNCHBURG, VA,
April II, 1S93.-On the 3rd thunder show
ers occurred along the n. 81 W. railroad,
and in the south-csntral counties, that
generally proved very beneficial to the
ground and growing vegetation. Light
rains on Sunday and Monday also proved
beneficial in the extreme northern sec
tion in other sections, there was general
~ only very light showers that were OF
very little benefit. The temperature was
decidedly above the average for this sea
son, except on Friday morning and Mon
day, and reached as high as s. to IS de-
grees on Saturday. The warm and dry
weather, in connection with moro than
the average amount OF sunshine, enabled
farmers to continue following SO that the
greater part of that work is now CON-
pleted, and generally the ground is in
good condition, though rather too dry in
some sections and on high ground. Some
corn has been planted during the past
week in the Shenandoah Vallay, in Prince
William and around Fredericksburg, and
in the southeastern counties, but good
rain is needed and desired to put the
ground in suitable condition. Wheat
oats, rye, and grass are generally reported
10 good condition. Tobacco plants are
doing we'll /; in Bedford county it is said
that more than the average crop will be
cultivated this year. Apple, peach. pear,
and plum trees are generally in bloom,
and the prospects for fine fruit crop is
generally excellent, though reports from
Irwin, Geechland county, state that peach
blossoms are comparatively scarce. and
in the vicinity of Savedge, Surry Co,
there are no peach bloom.
The potato and pea crops are later thar
usual, on account of cold temperatures in
March, and garden truck in the eastern
sections is not so far advanced a. usua
at this season, but general farm work II
well up. FAVORABLE rains during the next
few days is hoped for by all, and would
cause corn-p ianting to progress rapidly
and would improve all growing Vegeta'

The first of last week the mountains
west of Liberty wers fired in different
places, spreading rapidly. "Wednesday
evening it bad reached within a mile and
a half of this place. Al dark all turned
out and before day had the fire surround
ed and its course changed. The high
wind of Friday caused it to cross oyer
line again and the boys turned out but a
shower OF rain stopped its progress. Satur-
day the high wind caused the hre to
make towards Dellinger's gap, and the
men again prepared for a tough nights
fight but bard ram came up and stop
ped all further danger. The only damage
sustained was the killing of a fine lot Of
young second growth timber.
Our farmers are all busy blowing and
preparing their ground for oats and corn.
The ground had been very hard and dry
until the recent fine rains put 1t in good
order, and the wheat and grass crops are
growing finely.

The Paw and the Office.

There has been quito contest IN the
L. s. Senate as TO the pay o. the employ
ees during the summer vacation, or rather
until the organization of the Fifty-third
Congress. The Republicans claimed that
the present officials should continue un'
III the expiration of the present term,
and the Democrats were demanding an
election Of their 70 lowers. The problem
has at last been solved to the salts factisn
of each party, the Republicans agreein g
to the election, and the Democrats
agreeing to give mp the pay. Thus we
have two sets of officials; one lot at the
trough, and the other patiently waiting
fer their payday.

Virginian said be didn't want anything
with the discussing clerk, he wanted to

smiled and explained the situation to the
stranger.

man. Il thought this was a line of can

Spelling A
How a Mischievous Goat Prevented a
Pretty EIopement.

ETSLLy ElOPeuleuI'
A certain young lady who lives in
the annexed district has had her ro-
nance spoiled by the uncalled for and
gratuitous interference Of a glutton-
ously inclined goat. This young lady
had a beau who had proposed to her.
Her parents objected to the match and
forbade the young man to call on his
hearts idol. The young lady was des-
perate, as eligible beaus are not easy
to find in the suburbs. They re. olved
to elope.
The young man was to be under his
lady loves window at daybreak and
signal by means of a cord. 1t is almost
needless to state that the other end of
that cord was attached to one of the
large members of the maiden's pedal
eXtremities. The goat did not rest
easy that night and was wandering
| around the yard at an unreasonably
early hour in the morning. After
m~asticating all the sardine boxes and
empty tomato cans he discovered the
pendul0uS cord and resolved to take it
in as a desert.
When the cord was drawn taut the
| goat reared up on his hind legs in an
| effort to follow it up the side of the
house. He found that his efforts were
unavailing, and he gave a desperate
jerk. Then the trouble began. The
maid awoke. The goat gave another
violent pull that was almost as effec-
tive as that exercised by a ward Alder
man. The maid arose very suddenly
from her couch and heroically smoth.
cred a cry of pain. She stopped to de-
tach the cord and at the same instant
the goat gave another jerk. The maid
lost her equilibrium and thought that
she had also lost her toe, but the latter
proved to be an erroneous suppOsitiOn.
She crawled on all tours to the window
and cried hoarsely to her Suppose
lover: Don't pull SO, Augustus, III
come down"
Then followed another attempt -
u~nfasten the cord. The goat was p
sistent, however, and did not noti.o
the appeal save by several vicious mods
of his head that were each accompanied
by a feminine cry of pain from the
upper regions.
CraZed by the pain she again called
down into the darkness:
eff you don't stop pulling like that,
| Augustus, l won't come down at all"
Another savage jerk and a wall cf
bitter anguish burst uncontrolled FROM
her ruby lips. The cry was heard by
the mother, who fastened into the
room accompanied by an oil lamp and
a look of fright. The maid tainted,
the elopement was killed in the bud,
the maiden's toe was sore for a month,
but the goat escaped and there will ba
NJ cards sent out, as the youth and ti3
maid new speak now as the pass Jy.

A SUGGESTION FOR A PRESI-
DENT.

A story is told that the late R. B.
Hayes had for a neighbor i'll Ohio a
testy old fellow who ran q truck farm.
He was honest and upright, and Mr..
Hayes held him in high esteem, not
withstanding his lack Of the social
amenities and respect for persons. On
one of his visits to Ohio during the
presidency, he passed the old mans
farm and found him planting potatoes
in a patch near the road. The presi-
dent being somewhat of a farmer him
self. noticed some popularity in his
neighbours style of planting, and after
a few minutes chat he called attention
to it, and the old man argued the point
awhile.
after ALL" concluded the president,
Il don't think you are. doing it as 1t
should be done for the best results"
The old farmer rested his arm on
the fence and looked steadily at Mr..
Hayes and said:
They amt neither one Of u.s." he
said, above havin' fault found with
us; but eff you jest go on p~residentln
the United States your way, an L go
on plantin p~ertaters my way, L guess
we won't he no wuss off in the end"
Mr.. Hayes accepted the suggestion!
pleasantly and passed on.-OetToat
