fruit and shade trees by the females in
;he act of laying their Eggs. The
injury becomes serious only when the
Insects ere exceptionally numerous.

ing these insects will make their ap-
peararce during the last week of this

Pole, etc.

The manual OF arms" is "aH the go
now," since we have our guns. We
have two field peices but have not had
the pleasure of fixing them yet.
A flag pole one hundred and fifteen
feet high was cut in the woods, but has
not been. moved to the college yet. 1t

Dan Wicker has recovered from his
recent illness and is in his usual place

Clemson and Furman teams, was
played here last Saturday. The score
was eight to eleven in favor of Fur
man. Our team hasn't been practicing
but a week aud half. One of our
men did not play and we had to take
Que who had not practiced. Come
again boys, ,we'll beat you next time
sure.

Rough on Single Y.

4 reporter of The News and Courier
recently met a prominent distiller
from the West who is thoroughly
posted in the details OF the internal
revenue laws, and who presents some
startling facts in connection with the
defunct dispensary law.
controlled the dispensing of all the
goods purchased from the Mill Creek
Dislilling company, of Cincinnati, and
from other dealers, were obliged to
bottle and place in other small pack
ages the entire purchases made by
them, and which small packages were
distributed to the various dispensaries
for sale.
The regulations of the internal rev.
enue department are very plain and
explicit regarding the change of pack
age, and every dealer, Lo matter how
large or small, is required to enter for
retail every original package which Re
desires to bottle or place in small pack
ages. The govern ment keeps an Off
cial record of every barrel bearing a
revenue stamp, from the moment that
it come into existence until it is finally
disposed of, and when dealer enters
for retail or bottling package OF
liquor he is obliged to make a report to
the government of the package, giving
the serial number of the stamp, and
when he has drawn off the contents
and placed the same III bottles he is
obliged to destroy the STAMP. These
goods having once been bottled can
afterwards only be sold in bottles, and
there is no law or regulation by which
they could be dumped back into bar
rels.
As Tillman's y rye seems to have
lost its flavor these bottled goods are
practically worthless. The State car
no longer sell them as before, and un
less the governor could dump these
goods back into barrels and thus put
them into shape where they would
have some commercial value he wou!C
/ be unable to return them to the Mil
Greek Dstilling company Or to other
| creditors Of the State. The various
dispensaries all over the State are full
of these bottled goods, which unde'
this condition of affairs, are practically
worthless and which are certain Il
cause great loss to the State.

4 Spar:anburg Invention.

The Southern Progress, an Augusta
magaziue, has the following:
Christopher Brothers, Of Spartan
burg, S. G., have just completed 2
novelty in the way of a steam engine,
which is destined to create revolution
10 motive powers. This strongest
points of this engine and the points
that make it superior to all other ell
gines is the fact that there can no dead
centre, VIII le there is nut one cylinder;
thus giving, with half the working
parts, the SAME results that are 20 be
accomplished with q compound en-
glue. It gives live steam on one side,
with expansion on the other. There is
high an low pressure. Having no dead
centres it does away entirely with
pistous and rods, eccentric and eccen-
tric rods; guides and slides. 1t will
run either way, being reversed by
means of throttle, which also cuts off
steam. 1t has no steam chest nor
port valves, thus doing away with all
Of the most delicate and complicated
parts Of the old engines. 1t can he
operated by gas, Steam or compressed
air The main working parts consist
of only three pieces.
The inventors are thinking about es-
tablishing a plant in Augusta for tie
manufacture of the invention.

A Cure of Snake Bite.

To the Editor of the Scientific Aneri-
can: Last fall, in company with Mr.. H.
Carlo, Of Cape Gracias,, Nicaragua, I
was coming down the River Pis-pis in
the Sumo country, from the Constancia
gold mine. Stopping one evening at
Sumo Indian village, We found that
the chief had been bitten the foot by
tomdgQs, the mnst venomous snake iii
this country. The man was in the
most pitiable condition. Thin, watery
blood was issuing from the mouth,
nose, ears, and even from til. tattoo
marks on his arms and breast. His
urine was also discolored by blood.
The people were all clamorous for us
to give him some Nericdn seekiG
(American mediciue). knowing that we
always carried medicine chest with
us. 1t happened that We had been
discussing that same day the various
remedies for snake bites, and Mr..
Carlos had said that he heard that 70
cauterize the wound with carbolic acid
and give the same externally was a
sure cure. After explaining to them
that il had been so long since he had
DCSil pISlSb ~ IL II'S IC sI'sSiu.C W
cure him, we decided to try the above
cure. The question was how much TO
give him. We decided upon three
drops dissolved in glycerine, in halt
wiueglass of water. We gave hi,n two
doses at an internal Of half hour that
evening. Two hours after he second
dose we gave him an emetic that great
lv relieved him and he soon went 70
sleep.
The next morning we give him
another dose Of the acid and left him.

A PROTEST AGAINST DELAY.
A Big Meeting in New York Urges the
Senate to Pass the Tariff Bill.

New YORK, May "A great mass
meeting, called by representatives OF
| forty-two business houses of the city,
TO protest against the Senate's delay IL
| tariff legislation, was held in Cooper
Union last evening.
Charles S. Fairchild, ex-secretary OF
the treasury, presided and made a
speech III which he said that lie thought
the income tax an unwise measure, but
that thee were many things worse
than it, one of which was TO have no
income at all.
James G. Carter delivered the princi-
pal speech of the evening. He de-
tended the income tax as the most just
and equitable form of taxation. There
were manifestations Of approval and
disapproval when be said that. Mr..
Carter also denounced Senators Hill
and Murphy for their attitudes toward
the Wilson bill. This seemed to please
the large audience hugely.
a storm broke when Frederick r.
Coudert took issue with James G.. Car
ter aud roundy denounced the income
tax measure as bad, dishonest and un-
democratic. One-half of the large
crowd bissed and interrupted this ex-
preston of opiuioD, the Others cheered
and applauded and hurled back the
epithets applied TO Mr.. Coudert by his
opponents from the body of the hall.
Resolutions were adopted to the fol-
lowing effect:
That we should prefer more con-
sistent and courageous measure oftarif
reform than is now pending, but we
urge that it be passed to a final vote so
that we may be relieved from the ex-
tortions and expressions of the McKin-
ly tariff.
"That while we are opposed to the
income tax provision we are more op-
posed to the existing system Of tariff
taxation, which casts on the working
classes nine-tentbs of the burden of
taxation, and extorts from them an
enormous tEibute for the benefit of a
few.
THAT we desire the income tax
clauses be stricken out. We deem their
retention DO excuse for the vote of any
Democrat against the bill as whole,
and demand that every Democratic
Senator and Representative vote for
the repeal of the Mckinley law.
THAT the defeat Of the bill by Dem
ocrats would be disaster to the Ma
ton and an act of treason TO the DEM
ocratlc party"

| Mr.. Bessemer very well. He is mod
est man who never sought to- make q
fortune, but he has taken the rewards
Of his great Invention. and be told me
the last time saw him in London that
that he had got out of his invention
G., 900, ,000-nearly $4,000, 900. The
| contribution which he made to the
| world by that invention in the saving
it has effected in the ordinary opera
| lions of society is simply ircalcuiahle.
| If | were to say we were saving 81 O0o,-
! 900, ,0UO i year in this country alone AS
the result of that invention applied 10
every branch of industry, particularly
in the transportation of thu goods and
the products of the country. l should
certai1ly underestimate the amount.
And now am going to say something
even more surprising. Taking the world
together, the saving effected by that
invention is greater than the total
value OF all the movable capital Of the
world one hundred years ago.
"Oue man, by single invention, has
contributed to the aggregate wealth of
the world more value than existed
fifty years before his birth. Now he
has got ten millions of dollars. 1t is a
great SUN. He will leave it to his
children, who have done nothing, have
contributed nothing, to the acquisition
of this money. Whom has he robbed?
Whom will his children rob? Whom
would be the gamer if be had never re-
ceived one penny for his great dlscov-
cry? How much would the distribu-
tion Of his 100000 over the face Of
society add to the fortune Of any single
individual, and how much has bis in
veDtion added to the fortunes Of all
mankind?
Not that would not impress upon
the possessors of these great fortunes
their obligations and duty, but, even if
men refused to perform those duties, it
is an extraordinary thing that the laws
of nature would step in and compel
them to do it. A man with fortune
of Sl0C, ,00O, 900 who locks it up in his
vault gets nothing from it. 1t is only
by expenditure that be can get any
thing ou: Of it. Of course, l should
like TO see it expended on what we all
regard as enlightened and philan-
thropc objects, but there is no expend-
iture, that is not immortal; that does
not benefit society.
ut is true that when he drives g.
fine coach and gives fine dinner it
may not be as productive a use of it as
if he spent it in another way, but it is
a use. 1 heard some one criticise Que
of my friends for paying 100000 for
picture. But the answer which [ made
was: 1T seems to me that he ought to
commended for taking 100000 Of his
money and giving it to some one else.
Even supposjng that the picture was
not worth cent, the other man still
has the money, and will distribute it
in his turn.n

THE RACING TRAINS.
The Fatest Speed Yet Made on any South
ern Road.

The third and last race of trains be-
tween the Richmond and Danville and
Atlantic Coast Line roads took place
April 29th, the victory falling to- the
Richmond and Danville. The con-
test is for the purpose Of obtaining.from
the government the fast mail contract
between Washington and Jacksonville,
Fla. The first race was won by the
Richmond and Danville, the second by
Coast Line, the latter, it is claimed on
account of hot boxes on the, Rich
mond and DanVille train, and now the
third and deciding race has been won
by the Richmond and DanvilIe.
The Richmond and Danville flyer
left Jacksonville on the Florida Central
and Peninsular road at 1885 in the
morning with six coaches and bag
gage car attached with 249 passengers.
and pulled into Washington at 6:lO
O'Clock the next morning. The dis
tance is 765 miles and the run was
made ia l9 hours and 40 minutes-an
average of about 40 miles per hour.
The train ran from Columbia to
Charlotte. JOG miles, in two hours and
II minutes; from Rock Hill to Char
lotte, 25 miles, in 26 minutes.
The distance from Jacksonville to
Washington is u miles further by the
Coast Line than by the Richmond and
Danville. Consequently the govern
ment ruled that the Coast Line should
! nave 35 minutes start of its competitor.
Under this regulation the Coast Iine
left Jacksonville at 10 o'clock 35 min
ules before the Richmond and Dan
vile, but the Coast Line train did not
reach Washington until 7:05 the next
morning, IS minutes after tb. arrival OF
the Richmond and Danville.
The Coast Line train consisted of four
coaches aud baggage car and had
125 persons aboard.
The Plant system showed up we'll in
the race. Out as far as they went the
run was particularly good, and the
men of the plant system, who have
had things under control in this race
have reason to be congratulated. The
average time of the Plant system in
the race was Al miles per hour; of the
Atlantic Coast Line 5S4; Of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
3l.9. Ifthe liues north of Florence had
kept up the speed that was made from
Jacksonville to that point the train
would have gone into New York at
o'clock a. M. instead of LII p. N.
