He's a Guardsman.

II. Wadsworth Slack, formerly u
school teacher Of this place, was ap-
pointed last week as Il Guardsman on
the Columbian Guard at the Worlds
Fair. He was appointed by Col. Ed
mund Rice, commandant Of the Guard
at Chicago. The company is composed
Of eighteen hundred men. They are
provided with handsome uniforms and
badges conspicuously worn which show
their authority to make arrests and
promote peace throughout the grounds
which comprises six hundred and forty
acres. The Prof, in speaking Of
the Worlds Fair, says: "This is the
most wonderful, most grand and perfect
event Of the known ages of the world.
All people, if possible, should see this
greatest OF events, for such wonders
will never, in the years of the present
generation, be again. Up to June, first

Big Berries.

Casper F.. Hoffman, DR.. j. B. Neale,
over in Clearfeld county on fishing
excursion four days last week. They
had excellent weather, good time and
caught about 300 trout. Casper Hoff-
man, the jeweler, has had, up to the
present time, good reputation for ve-
racity, therefore, we will not doubt his
word, publicly, nor will we vouch for
the following story he tells about their
outing: "Our most thrilling experience
was with Alex. Riston in a teaberry
patch. We got into a place where
there was nearly thousand acres OF
berries, which varied in size from hen
egg to large pumpkin. We were
climbing hill mile long which was
almost perpendicular and it was covered
over with teaberries. Alex. Riston was
behind the rest of the party and some
one broke big berry loose from the
mother stem and it started down the
steep hill at a great speed, getting
faster and faster with each turn. Alex.
saw it coming, but could not get out OF
the way soon enough and he was almost
killed by the collision with the tea
berry. His wounds were dressed by DR..
Neale and he was helped to the top OF
the hill, where, after eating his usual
number of trout--twenty-five-and rest
ing six or seven minutes he was able to
again join the party"

mon..rous forco Of Tornadoes.

Much has been said about electricity
as factor for destructiveness in the va.
rieus gyrating storm clouds known as
cyclones, drechoes and tornadoes. In
all of this voluminous mass Of so called
scientific opinions and deductions one
fact seems to have been entirely over
looked-yiz., the almost resistless force
of wind when moving with high ve-
locity. When the velocity is but fifty
miles an hour the pressure of air In mo-
ton is equal to twelve pounds to the
square foot, and when this velocity rises
to 100 miles per hour its force rises to
the equivalent Of 40.2 pounds to the
square foot, the augmentation Of force
being always proportional to the square
of the velocity.
It needs no further elaboration or am
plifcation Of this statement to convey
to the intelligent reader an idea of the
monstrous mechanical force which such
rapid travelling mass of air must have
"a power great enough to tear down
any structure that has yet been built by
man, or to uproot whole forests of the
largest trees now growing on the sur
face Of the earth.-St. Louis Republic.

An Hour in the Legislature.

This editor spent little while
in the House of Representatives of
South Carolina the 7th instant,
during the discussion of the
prohibition bill. Four speeches
were made against prohibition.
From &aese speeches we glaaned a
l%5Sre--- to which ne wish 10
call the attention of our readers.
They are the same old stock OBJ
iections we have been hearing all
our lives.
1t was rather amusing to hear
one gentleman concluding his
speech for the saloon turn preacher.
He said prohibition was "countrary
to the genius of Christianity" He
argued that "the bill il. removing
temptation would hinder develop
ment of true Christian manhood"
It is rather difficult to treat this
sort of "argifying" seriously. In
the first place we remember he
said there would be more liquors
sold under prohibition than under
license; now he thinks temptation
would be removed and Christian
manhood have no opportunity
for development. This caps the
climax. Saloons are needed to
make strong, vigorous Chris.
tians. How strange that Paul
Peter, Luther, Wesley, Finney
and men of their kind have never
caught on to this noble idea til.
the sage of Richland appears on
the scene and gives them "paten'
process" for the Strengthening ot
Christian manhoodl The Church
must change her tactics and recon-
mend the saloons with the praye:
meeting and the Sunday school.
We would suggest to the gentle.
man that he errs grievously if he
locks his doors at night. He
should assist in developing the
honest of the country. We may
not need the Decalrgue any longer
since prohibition is contrary .tc
the genius of Christianity, and
eight of the Ten Commandments
are prohibitory.
But enough.-The Soldier.

THE PEOPLES PARTY FUTURE.
When asked as to the strength
and future of the Peoples party,
the Ex-senator replied: "We
thought we had them downed two
years ago, but they were stronger
than ever this year. Had the
Democrats not fused with them L
believe the Republicans Would

are gaining in numbers, largely
from the Republican party. They

the old soldiers. In the Convention
which nominated w. HI. Harris

were 276 Ex-Union soldiers, and
he was placed in nomination by
a one-armed veteran. This is even
more surprising from the fact that
Harris was on 'Stonewall' Jackson's
staff. / do not believe the party
will ever become a great factor in
politics, as the leaders are not
men of much ability and character.

"What will be the future of the

Before replying to that question
Senator Ingalls, took several long
puffs at his cigar and said: "Well,

THE VOICE THAT CALLS.

Where forlorn sunsets flare and fade
On desolate sea and lonely sand,
Out Of tho silence and the shade
What is the voice Of strange command
Calling you still, as friend calls friend,
With love that cannot brook delay,
To rise and follow the ways that wend
Over the hills and far away?
Hark, in the city, street on street
A roaring reach Of death and life,
OF vortices that clash and feet
And ruin in appointed strife;
Hark to it calling, calling clear,
Calling until you cannot stay
From dearer things than your own mos
dear.
Over the hills and far away.
Out Of the sound of ebb and how,
Out of the sight Of lamp and star,
It calls you where the good winds blow
And the unchanging meadows are;
From faded hopes and hopes agleam,
Itcalls you, calls you night and day,
Beyond the dark into the dream
- Over tie hills and far away.
