\ Thirty-rour Year Old Letter.

''lt is an exceedingly rare thing
nowadays In any civilized country
for a letter, properly stamped, sealed
and addressed, TO fail TO reach its
destination, said a Government
Official ''Somctimcs letters are
written which are never received,
hut the great number OF letters
which 90 to the dead letter officer be
cause they are not properly ad
dressed, or not addressed at all, serve
to explain the greater part Of these
rare disappearances Now and then,
however, some one somewhere in this
country Is astonished TO receive n let
ter that was written and posted
years before. Not long ago a lady In
Vermont re ,eivcd letter which was
written and bore evidence OF having
been mailed In 1850. The stamp on
the letter was obsolete, but the post

destination, as the stamp was good
at the time IL was tlrst mailed.
Where the letter had been all these
years was never explained. but IL
may be surmised that IL had slipped
into some crack or c.eviCc in the
course OF transmission, and remained
there until the making OF certain re-.
pairs revealed IL. 1t was then put

Why Ia ItP

1T is somewhat curious thing"
observed commercial traveller, that
even the most fastidious individual
who win reject with indignation a
tumbler that had been used by another
diner at hotel, will not hesitate 10
drink out of a cup or glass on a rail
way train, although it may have been
used 10y thousands of persons, many
of them of not over cleanly habits.
The same thing applies to the per-
sons who use the ice-water coolers in
public buildings or hotels. Why then
should SO much fastidiousness be dis
played by persons at hotel or other
table as TO the use OF tumbler from
which a single person had previously
drank?n

How Canadians aud Il .qutmaux Manage
Thoir Caalns Courssrs.
Mr.. Cameron in his talk with re-
porter told Of the dogs that are used
for sledging during the winter in the
Northwest territories of Canada.
Six or eight dogs are used on each
sledge. They axe fed only once in
twenty-four hours, aud that is in the
morning before the start is made, and
after the dogs are in harness. At
that time about four pounds of frozen
fish are given to them. Everything
must be in readiness for the start,
and the men must look to it that they
are at hand to jump on the slelges,
for at the very instant that the last
morsel of fish disappears the dogs are
off at n break neck speed. Strange as
it may seem, the drivers do not dare to
feed the dogs unless they are in har-
ness. Otherwise they would scatter,
and nothing more would be seen OF
them. They are driven with one long
rein attached TO the leader.
A whip with very short handle and
very long lash is used to urge them
on, though in most cases they need no
urging, for they seem to feel that the
faster they go the quicker they will
come To the post where food and
warmth and II lazy life await them.
They travel often as far as ninety
miles day.

RICH FAMILIES IN AMERICA.


Astors and the yandsrbiis Control Be-
tween Them Hundreds of MI lions
A careful estimate of the wealth OF
the Astors puts il at 5000 O000, 900, and
this makes the family the richest in
the United States. What is more, the
wealth of the Astors is in such shape
chat it cannot but increase, for the
reason that it is gilt-edged New York
City real estate, some of which has
within the past ten years increased in
value 200 per cent aud is still apprsSi-
ating. The policy of the Astors has
always been TO buy real estate on the
lines along which New York City is
now extending aud hold it for rise.
rarely selling, however, but building
and renting instead. The result is
that the Astor properties are in valua-
BILE lands, in brick, iron, stone and
mortar instead of in fluctuating stocks
and bonds, the fixed value of which is
always uncertain. As family the
Nanderbilts stand next to the Astors
in the matter of wealth, and their
riches must be considered in the
aggregate and in COMMON, since their
Individual fortunes are pooled, so to
speak. Iou will often see Cornelius
Vanderbilt, the present head of the
house, quoted as being worth $780,

Housekeepers hold an unjust
prejudice toward cotton seed oil.
That in other quarters this preju-
dice is gradually diminishing sta
tistics abundantly prove. About
half of last years product, 1,OOo,-
600 barrels of oil, formed a part
of lard; thousands of barrels are
sent to the Mediterranean and add
ed to olive oil; Maine uses it for
it's sardine (?) preservation; hun
dreds of thousands of barrels 60
to Holland to mix with butter, and
how much of it is mixed with but
ter and oleomargarine in this
country is very hard to find out.
It is at least pronounced by our
ablest chemists to be wholesome
and having good food value. Its
capabilities for publication are so
great that it seems incredible that
housekeepers should retain any
distrust of it, knowing as they
must the freedom from risk of dis
ease in it's use, as compared with
poor or rancid lard. 1t is much
pleasanter to use the oil of a seed
than that of an animal.

A Sensation in Aiken.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
AIKEN, July 30.-In view of the
fact that the Aiken dispensary is
to be opened on Aug. 1, under Or
ders of Gov. Tillman, Mayor
Chafee, on Saturday, 9th instant,
addressed the following letter to
Mr.. Jason V. George, dispenser at
Aiken:
"Dear Sir: I hereby notify you
that any opening Of the dispensary
at this place, except for the sale
of beer and wine, will be a viola
ton of the ordinance of this city.
In case of it's opening for the sale
of vinous liquors only 1 shall ex-
pect you first to procure a license
from the clerk of the city council" !"
This letter was served upon Mr.
George on Saturday, and that Off
cial sent it on to Gov. Tillman and
asked for instructions. He says,
however, that unless instructed
otherwise by the Governor the dis
pensary will open on time Wednes-
day morning, and he will not take
out a license. The mayor says If
he does he will be arrested and
fined the same as any other viola
tor of the ordinances of the city.
A short while after the detlara-
ton by the Supreme Court that
the dispensary law was unconstl'
tutional the city council of Aiken
passed an ordinance licensing the
sale of beer and wine. Under this
ordinance three licenses have been
granted, and beer and wine is
daily dispensed in this city to
those who apply for it. The mayor
basis his action on the unconstitu-
tionality of the dispensary law.
He says the dispensary cannot sell
liquors, and that to sell vinous
LIQUORS license must first be OBJ
talLed. The conflict will be watch
ed with Interest.

WHAT NAY COME OF THIS F.!
Hon. W.D. Evans Says the People
Do Not Like the Plan.

Soluinbla hcSlstct.
Hon. w. D. Evans, of Marlboro,
president Of the Farmers Alliance,
was in the city yesterday on his
way to Clemson, of which college
he is a member of the Board of
Visitors.
Senator Evans was asked what,
in his opinion, would be the prob
able result of the uneasy feeling
among Reformers brought about
by the dissatisfaction that the
Ccl,o.ton idea of having primary
in the Reform party was giving.
He said that the dissatisfaction
was widespread and that the plan
did not suit the people. "The only
way" be said, "to satisfy the peo-
pie is to have a general primary,
which is one of the fundamental
principles os Reform and which
was adopted in the first conven-
tion of the party. Judging from
the result of the Reform club
meetings in Mcrlhcro county there
will not be 10000 out of the 10000
in the State that will participate
in the primary as suggested by the
Colleton idea. This is because the
people do not like the idea and dc
not want the plan.
"The Reform committee should
either call the convention off OF
else adopt such uniform and SIM
pie rules as will give satisfaction
to the people in all the counties.
"The reason why the people are
dissatisfied with the convention
plan is because it is too much like
going back to the old ring methods
that prevailed before the days OF
Reform. If the Reformers cannot
elect their candidates in general
primary they do not deserve to
win any more than the Conserva-
tives do if they cannot elect theirs
by such means"
Senator Evans said that the peo-
pie were not party to the Reform
primary plan. They had nothing
to do with 1T. They did not make
up the committee nor could they
be bound by what the committee
had done. The candidates had
bound themselves, but it was diff
ferent as to the people.

A bill was introduced in Congress
a few days ago providing silver
medals for the Union soldiers from
Pennsylvania and Maryland for
their prompt action in volunteering
their services to go to Gettysburg
An amendment was offered extend
ing the honor to all soldiers who
volunteered under similar circum-
stances. This would have cost the
United States $4,000 or mora, but
both the bill and amendment were
happily defeated by Col. Talbert,
of South Carolina. "Private" John
Allen facetiously remarked that 1t
was not doing justice to the valor
of the soldiers to present them
medals made of the despised silver,
but by all means to make them OF
gold.
