ALL" by Mrs. Justus Batchelder, came last
on the programme. In her essay the vale
dictorian showed that industry, concentra-

hardest labor. 1t is popular idea that the
successful men are the lucky ones, but the
men of genius are generally the hardest
workers. without concentration of ener-

He was jostled by three itinerant musicians
as he was walking in Gray's Inn Road.
When he protested against this rudeness,
him foul names and threatened to strike
him with a camp stool. Hewston, in de-
Tending himself with his umbrella, drove
the ferule into the musicians eye. The
man fell to the pavement and soon lost con-
seriousness. He was taken to the Royal
Free Hospital, where he died Hewston
was arrested, but has been admitted to bail
in the sum of $4,000. Mr.. p. A. Collins,
United States consul general at London,
and Mr.. l.. A. Lathrop, United States con.
sui at Bristol, became his sureties and

Expose the Swindlers.

Darlington Democrat.
Last week an article was published
in the papers of this city touching up
on the policy and equity of patroniz-
ing travelling solicitors for city grocery
houses, otherwise known as peddlers.
A few cases in point may be of in
terest to our readers.
A merchant in certain town in
this county was offered by a farmer
ten pound package of tea, for which
the farmer paid IS cents a pound, for
eight pounds of tea which the merch-
ant was retailing at As cents. He
politely but firmly refused. BY re-
quest the merchant sent sample of
the rs cent tea to Chicago tea house,
asking for prices on same. The reply
came back, ave have what appears to
be the same goods at q cents, and a
much better grade at SO cents"
Another striking feature in the
transactions is the ridiculously large
quantities Of certain articles purchased.
1t appears to have been nothing at all
unusual for a man with family of
three or four to buy 100 pounds of
roasted coffee, and other things in
proportion. One man who, so far as
known, is not directly interested in
the bakery business, is reported to
have purchased ten packages of yeast
cakes.
We are credibly informed that in at
least two instances the money to pay
these swindling bills, was borrowed
from the home merchant as a "maiter
of pure accommodation" * A
certain merchant of our acquaintance
offers to discount bills purchased from
these travelling farmers benefactors :"
at least IS per cent, and still make a
handsome profit.
When we think of the ruinously
large quantities Of goods purchased OF
a perishable nature, such as roasted
coffee, tea, yeast cake, ETC., much OF
which will become practically worth
less unless used in a short time, we
can arrive at but one logical conclus-
ion - the purchasers were hypnotized
