An Old Lexington Family.


be interested in the following account
of one of the daughters of Rev. John
Rauch, who lived two miles from
town on the Wyes' Ferry road from
Lexington. Mr.. Rauch was for
many years director Of the classi-
cal and theological seminary. Many
of the young men boarded with him,
and he was of much service to them,
as he seemed to know the whole
Latin course by heart. He was a
most genial and excellent man, and
the State of South Carolina lost
much when he was removed to Mis-
sissippi. He entered the Lutheran
ministry in his old day, and did good
services for the church.
Senator McLaurin of Mississippi
has family of which he may we'll
be proud. Mrs. McLaurin was Miss
Laura Rauch, born at Lexington, S.
c., but brought up in Mississippi.
Her father, of German descent, was
one Of the finest classical scholars of
the State. Mr.. and Mrs. McLaurin
fell in love when they were children
at school together. She was married
when she was not quite 20 and he
two or three years past, and they
have remained devoted lovers ever
since.
Mrs. McI4aurin looks very youth
full to the mother Of eight children.
She is fair, with blue eyes, abundant
silky light brown hair, and has q
slender figure of medium height.
Her manner is pleasant and winning.
There eight children-seven
daughters and one son, Anselm j.
Jr., a bright and clever lad of IL,
wonderfully unspoiled considering
how many sisters he has to pet him.
The three eldest daughters
Stella, Delta and Daisy-have grad
uated with high honors and are &C
complished beyond the average we'll
educated girl. They are all pretty,
with beautiful complexions and fine
figures. Stella, who became last
April the bride of DR.. Berry of Jack
son, Miss, was considered one of the
most perfectly beautiful girls in the
south as well as one of the most tai
ented.
Delta Upsilon, the second, has
diplomas in four languages besides
her own, is we'll read in ancient and
modern literature, takes a deep in
terest in the leading questions Of the
day and talks we'll about them, but
is rather reserved. She is a graceful
and fearless horse-woman too.
Daisy Ellen made her debut last
winter and became belle at once.
She is somewhat taller than her sis
ters, with beautiful, erect figure
and fine carriage. Her complexion
is exquisite, her expression bright
and animated, and there are pretty
dimples in her cheeks. She sings
and plays we'll and recites finely.
The other girls are Mary, Irene,
Grace and Jean, schoolgirls yet, and
Laura, the baby, a blond fairy 5
years old.

Intrudea on a poker eamc.

Out in lola, Kan, they have a town
marshal who is given to infringing
upon the most sacred rights of Ameri-
a citizenship. But his last exploit
is likely to cost him dear. He intru-
ded upon a poker game for the purpose
Of arresting one OF the players who
was charged with stealing a horse.
The accused person has demonstrated
his innocence and now brings suit
against the marshal to recover the
value Of a large jackpot which was
under discussion when the arrest was
made. The quondam prisoner alleges
that he held an ace full--whatever that
is-when he vas hauled off to prison,
and that but for his arrest he would
have iniallibly gathered in all the
funds in sight. He feels that he should
be reimbursed for the loss he sustained
and therefore sues for the amount. II
there is any justice IL Kansas he will
get a judgment.

A BABY's

Here is story vouched for by a Lon
don journal, showing how a small baby
once got his mother into serious diff
entities and then made amends by get
ting her out OF them again. II seems
that a poor seamstress with a child in
her arms was tried for the theft OF
three gold coins. She said in defense:
al went to my employers house on
business. / carried my child in my
arms, as IL is now. l was not paying
attention to it. There were several
gold coins on the mantel-piece. and,
unknown to me, it stretched out it's
little hand and seized three pieces,
which l did not observe until | got
home. l at once put on my bonnet and
was going back to my employer to re-
turn them when l was arrested. This
is the solemn truth. as l hope for
heavens mercy"
The Court could not believe this
story. They upbraided the mother
for her impudence in endeavoring to
palm off such a falsehood for the truth.
But she so pertinaciously asserted her
innocence that a novel experiment was
tried in her favor. One of the officials
proposed to renew the scene described
by the mother. The gold coins were
placed on the clerks table. The mo-
Their was requested to resume the po-
sition In which she stood at her en-
ployer's house. There was then a
breathless pause in court. The baby
discovered the bright coins, eyed
them for a moment, smiled and then
clutched them in his fingers with q
miser's eagerness. The mother was
at once acquitted.

Lizzie Rordeu Again.

A Falls River, Mass, dispatch says
that the local branch of the young NO.
mans christian temperance union,
comprising eighty of the best known
and most highly respected ladies in
Falls River, has been ordered to vacate
its rooms in the Andrew building. The
building is now owned by Lizzie Bor-
den, who was tried and acquitted or
the charge Of numbering her father and
~stepmother August 4, 1892. The cause
of the order to vacate was that Lizzie
Borden, who was formerly a member
of the union, had been cut socially by
her old companions. She says she
does not propose to have tenants upon
her property who will not at least treat
her civilly. Miss Borden has been
leading a very retired life, but from
time to time she encounters people
and meets with snubs. The indigna-
ton OF members at their eviction is
aggravated by the fact that while Liz
xie was in Taunton Jail the Union be-
came the subject of ridicule for passing
resolutions Of sympathy with her.

Pointer for Men.

Mrs. G.. w. Gallagher, wife Of the
pastor OF the Atkinson Memorial Con-
gregational Church Of old Tacoma,
WASH, is the leader OF a new religious
sect. A number OF women, principally
married, have renowned their hus-
bands and men generally, unless the
latter have become sanctifed, as the
women believe themselves purified by
God and sanctified beyond the touch
Of unsanctified mankind.
The movement has met with sufi-
cient popularity among married and
unmarried women and a few men to
warrant the leaders in renting a hall
TO discuss the subject Of universal
sancti6cation, which they consider an
important m in a higher civilization
and ethics. As a result Of adhering to
the spirit of the principles OF the new
sect there are reported several matri-
monial inilicities, regarding which
Mrs. Gallagher says that if either
the husband or the wife is sancti6ed
and the other is not they cannot get
along together.
II is currently reported that Rev.
Gallagher is displeased with the new
sect's plans and would seek divorce.

Ont OF His Legitimate Field.

A certain well-known Congressman,
who has been reelected a great many
times, is somewhat Of a farmer, or at
least he thinks he is, and one day last
Summer the old fellow who has charge
of his farm told him they needed a pair
Of mules on the place. He thought 30
himself, and without consulting any
body he bought a pair and sent them
to the farm. The next day he went
out himself and found the old man
looking the mules over.
"Well, Henry, what do you think
OF them?"
The old man wasn't enthusiastic.
"What did you give for 'em ?" he
inquired cautiously.
"Three hundred dollars"
Henry made a careful examination
of them.
"Well," he said, shaking his head,
81 guess you know purity much all
there is to know about runnin' the
government, but you don't know a dern
thing about mules" which opinion
subsequent facts proved to be correct.

The Federal Government undertakes
TO lend each college about 81, 600 worth
Of munitions of war, and the college
in each case must give bond for the

One day, in a mining district, a la
borer named Murphy was killed by a
boiler explosion. His friends collected
what could be found OF him and put it
in a bag. They then selected one Of
their number, and directed him to take
the remains to Murphy's home and
break the news gently to his widow.

the bag, and, or reaching the house,
his knock was answered by a woman.
Does the widow Murphy live here"

here" replied the woman. You're

To CURE DRINK CRAVING.


II is now universally acknowledged
by competent authorities that inebri.
ETY. is a disease, physical as well as
mental and moral, and to give the
pledge Of total abstinence to the invet-
crate drunkard without specific in
structions what to do next. and expect
him to keep it, Is to look for a stupen-
dous effort which only the man Of
sound mental energy and bodily vigor
can perform. An expert writing on the
subject says that the first step in the
progress of true temperance reform
must be the recognition OF the fact
that the Irresistible craving for strong
drink is the effect of causes which must
be got rid OF before the drunkard can
be considered as safe from temptation.
The various patent remedies can in no
sense be regarded as q cure, for the
only cure in the real sense Of the word
is to get the whole man into better
condition, his blood purified and his
will strengthened. Diet is OF extreme
Importance, and if skillfully directed
will ean away the craving naturally
and without danger to the individual.
All sailed and heavy food stuffs should
be avoided. To cultivate a distaste
for alcohol, oranges are more effective
than almost anything else known.
They should be taken n at a time,
before breakfast. at IL 4. NJ, at l PM,
at 3 p. NJ. and 6 p. NJ, and the last
thing on retiring. Apples and lemon
juice are also excellent.-Louisville

A San Francisco dispatch says: Col
onel Boone, the animal trainer, has
not given up the hope OF bringing off
the fight between his lion Parnell and
the bear Siskiyou, which was stopped
some time ago by the police at the
Midwinter Fair. A permit has been
granted by the Supervisors Of Solano
county to exhibit trained and wild ami
mails in feats Of strength, and the plan
is to have the fight between the lion
and the grizzly bear at the Vallejo
race-track July A. Aspecial train will
be run from San Francisco on that
day, and the projectors Of the fight tx
pect to have 10000 people in attend
ance.
II the fight does come of it promises
to be one Of the bloodiest exhibitions
which ever took place In a modern
arena. Parnell is a full-sized Numid-
can lion with a long record Of bloody
deeds. 1t was Parnell who killed his
keeper during the first week Of the fair.
Shortly after this he got hold OF n Of
Colonel Boone's pets, q brown bear
cub, and chewed it out Of existence
before any one had time to interfere.
He is totally untamed and as blood
thirsty a brute az one can imagine.
Siskiyou is a fully grown specimen
of Ursus Horribalis, with claws five
inches long. The two-inch bars Of his
cage are bent like wires by the mon
ster's strength. Boone was to have
brought this fight off in his arena at
the Midwinter Fair about a month ago.
The seating capacity Of the arena,
which is 1900. was all sold at 500 a
seat. The Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals, however, had
sixty officers and a squad of police on
hand and prevented the brutal exhi.
bition.
