4 Negroes Cool Suicide.

Rock HILL, S. c., June 13.-Quite
an excitement was caused in East
Chester last week by the suicide OF a
negro by the name of Josiah Crawford,
by drowning himself in the Catawba
River on last Sunday. Sunday morn
ing he insisted on his family going to
Church, saying he did not feel we'll
and would not go. After the family
left Crawford went down the river
meadow, where he had his COW tied to
Craze, and cutting the rope by which
the COW was secured, went to the river
bank where he hung his hat and coat
and tied his handkerchief on a limb
overhanging the water. Then he tied
his hands with the rope and passed it
around his neck several times, and
walking out upon a bent tree, jumped
into the water. That afternoon when
the COW went home with the rope cut
the family suspected something was
wrong and went down to the meadow
to ascertain whatit was. Tracks were
discovered leading from where the COW
was tied down to the river and where
Crawford $ coat and hat were hanging,
but none could be found leading
away. They concluded at once he had
drowned himself, and as he did not
make an appearance the next morning
their suspicion was confirmed and a
searching party was organized and the
river thoroughly dragged without sue
cess. Last Wednesday Mr.. kirkpat-
rick was standing on the river bank at
the point where Crawford was sup
posed to have jumped in when the
body suddenly shot Up out Of the wa
ter, which is said to be thirty feet deep
at that point. kirkpatrick was so
surprised, he though the dead man
was after him and made tracks as fast
as lis feet would carry him. Later
on a party secured the body, and held
an inquest. Some Of the negroes say
the devil ran Crawford into the water,
and can not be coaxed to 60 near the
place. Few negroes commit suicide
and they say this is warning to them
all that the devil will catch all who do.

The Ante. BeIlum Negro Preacher.

The ante-bellum negro preachers
were the product of the times, and
differed from the mass Of their race
only in the fact that they were shrewd-
er and more eloquent. Among them
were many men Of piety, good sense and
burning zeal. In others there was a
combination of cunning, superstition,
excitability and volubility almost in
iescribable.
To the former class belonged a
noted negro preacher of Culpepper
County, Virginia-an old man of
blameless life and venerable appear
ance, who so entirely commanded the
confidence of the white people, and
whose influence with the people Of
his own race was so wholesome, that
no one thought of enforcing statute
against him then existing which re-
quircd that at every gathering where
six or more negroes were assembled a
white man should be present. De-
spite this statute Uncle Jack came
and went as he pleased, trusted
by the whites and vcnerated by the
blacks.
At one of his meetings party OF
mischievous young white men planned
to have little fun at the old man $
expense. Waiting near the door OF
the rustic chapel until the service was
concluded, the party approached the
old preacher and their spokesman
said "Old man, we are officers Of the
law and patrolling this beat. You
have violated the law and we are going
to whip you for it. Come along with
us.
They led the way to thicket near
at hand, Uncle Jack following in 81
lence. o.,
"Have you nothing to say old man p
asked the spokesman.
Nothing, Marstcr," said Uncle
Jack. -
"Perhaps you don't think we really
intend to whip you," said the young
man, "but we will. Have you moth
ing to say to that ?" r.,
7'No, sir" said Uncle l,2 Jack 81
have nothing to say. The fact is,
marsters, 1 have often wondered that
I have never been whipped before.
St. Paul was much better man than
1 am, and they whipped him almost
everywhere he went. I have preach
ed much longer than he did, and never
had whipping in my life. 1t seems
to me, my young marsters, that l
ought to have at least few licks.
The young scapegraces looked at
each other in confusion, and it is need
less to say that Uncle Jack was not
whipped.

Braddock's Sash.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Mrs. Bette
Taylor-Dandridge, only surviving
daughter of President Zachary Taylor,
now an aged woman, living at Win
chester, Va, has discovered among
the relics of her father the long-miss-
ing sash of General Braddock. This
sash was sent by General Gaines to
General Taylor just after his brilliant
achievement on the Rio Grande, in
1876. A historian of that time says:
General Taylor took the sash and
examined it carefully. 1t was OF un-
usual size, being quite as large, when
extended. as a common hammock. ln
the meshcs of the splendid red silk,
that composed it, was the date OF its
manufacture, 'l707' and, although it
was l4O years old, save where the dark
snots that were stained with the blood
Of the hero who wore it, itglistened as
brightly as if it had just come from
the loom. Upon the unusual size OF
the sash being noticed, General Worth,
who had joined the party in the tent,
mentioned such was the oldfashioned
style, and that the soldiers sash was
intended to carry, if necessary, the
bearer from the field of battle.
'It was mentioned in the conversa-
tion that after General Ripley was
wounded at Lundy's Lane his sash,
similar in form, was used as a ham,
mock to bear him from the field, and
that in it he was carried several miles,
his body swaying between the horses,
to which the ends Of the sash were
securely fastened
Mrs. cambridge found the valuable
relic carefully wrapped upin linen and
labeled, ''Braddock's sash. 1t was
found with her fathers two military
sashcs. Mrs. Dandridge was formerly
Mrs. Bliss, and presided over the
white house in the short year her
father was President. On the death
Of General Taylor, what remained OF
his personal effects were placed in his
army chest, and remained there until,
at the death of his widow, they were
sent to Winchester, Va, the home OF
Mrs. cambridge. The sash is OF very
dark red silk, some twelve feet long by
four in with, and near the center there
are three dark, black stains, each as
large as woman hand, the marks OF
General Braddock' life blood.

Never.

Never neglect daily private prayers ;

God is present, and that lie hears

Never neglect daily private Bible
reading; and when you read, remem.
Der that God is speaking to you, and
that you are to believe and act upon
what He says. All blacksliding be-
gins with the neglect of these two
rules.
Never ask God for anything you do
not want. Tell Him the truth about
yourself, however bad it makes you !;
and then ask Him for Christs sake to
forgive you what you are and make
you what you ought to be.
Never let day pass without trying
to do something for Jesus. Every
night reflect on what Jesus has done
for you, and then ask kyourself: "What

What Dynamite Is.

Very few people have . correct idea
of what dynamite is, OF what it is
made, and the uses to which it is put:
To the French belongs the honor of
it's discovery and its fret practical use.
Nitro-glycerinc is the force of all
high explosives. Dynamite is the
name most usually given to these cx-
.plosives, though other names are
sometimes used. Dynamite is simply
nitro -glycerinc mixed with various in
gradients. itro-glyccrine is made by
mixing sulphuric and nitric acids with
sweet glycerine, the same that is used
by the ladies to prevent chapped
hands. Mixing the acids and glycer-
inc is where the danger lies in the
making of nitro=glyccrine. The mix
ing tank, or agitator, as it is called by
dynamite makers, is steel tank, fill
ed inside with many coils OF lead
pipe; through which, while the mix.
ing is in progress, constant flow OF
ice water is maintained. The flow OF
ice water is used to keep the tempera-
ture of the mixture below 85 degrees,
as above that point it would explode,
and hole in the ground would mark
where the factory had been. The nj
ro-glycerine is stored in large earth
enware tanks, which are usually sunk
in the ground, to guard against blows
or severe concussion. The other in
gradients for making dynamite are nj
trate of soda (Which is found only in
Chilly, carbonate of magnesia and
wood pulp.
Dynamiteis put in paper shells usu-
ally one ard fourth inches in dame
ter and eight inches in length, and
weighs about half pound to each
shell or cartridge. 1t has largely
taken the place Of black powder, for
blasting, as it is many hundred times
stronger, and consequently more eco
nomical. 1t is used chiefly in mining
all kinds ores, coal and rock, and in
submarine blasting and railroad build
ing. Without its aid many railroads,
especially those crossing the Rocky
Mountains, could not have been con-
structed without it He'll Gate, in the
East river, New York, could not have
been destroyed and without it the
miner, at prices now paid for mining
ores, could not earn his bread.
Dynamite will not explode from any
ordinary fall or jar; it will burn with
out explosion, and freezes at forty
two degrees, ten degrees above ordi..
nary freezing point. The bomb Of
the anarchist is made Of metal or
glass and filled with pure nitro -glycer-
Inc, arranged so as to explode by Sc
we're contact with any hard object.
These bombs are, of course, never
made by reputable dynamite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are
invested in the manufacture of dyna-
mite in the United States, and its use
is constantly on the increase. The
fumes of nitro-glycerinc produce in
tense headache, which can be cured by
taking very small dose Of it inter-
nally.-Detroit Free Press.

Hanged Himself With o Shs ct.

BALTIMORE, MD, June7. 7.-Gustave
Liebman, Of St. Louis, member Of the
firm of Liebman & Dellevic, tobacco
importers, committed suicide at the
Howard House to-day. He cut the
bed sheets into strips and twisted
them into rope, with which he hang
ed himself to the bed post. The sui
eide stretched himself along the floor
lengthwise, and having made the
strips of the sheet of a sufficient
leng gth to permit Of his head being
elevated few inches from the floor,
deliberately strangled himself to death
by pressing downward on the rope:
The dead man had been member OF
the baltimore firm of Licbman & Del
lcvie for ten years. He was 81 years
old and unmarried.

How Animals Count.

A Russian physician has been max, !;
ing some curious experiments to lind
out how far animals can count. lie
declares that the crow can count up
to ten, and is thereby superior IN
arithmetic to certain Polynesian tribes
of men who cannot get beyond i've or
six.
The doctor had dog which was
accustomed to bury the bones it
found, each one in separate place in
the garden. One day, wishing to test
the animals power of counting, the
master gave it no less than twenty.six
bones, which were all buried one after
another in special hiding.places. The
next day the dog was given no more
bones, and so was forced to dig up the
old ones. Without any hesitation he
uncovered ten, and then came to
stop. After whining and running
about as if in state of great perplexi-
ty, a new idea seemed to enter the
canine brain, and again the dog began
to dig up the hidden bones, and this
time he added nine to the total before
his memory again failed him. Then
there was a second period Of whining
and perplexity, after which the seven
remaining bones were found with some
difficulty. The doctor concluded from
this that twenty-six was too large a
number for the dog to take in all at
once, and that he had been obliged to
remember the bones, as it were, in
three shorter series.
The cat, it would seem, is even less
of an arithmetician than the dog, not
being able to count as far as ten: Be.
fore giving his cat it's regular piece Of
meat, the doctor would put it under
the animals nose, and then withdraw
it five times in succession, and it was
only the sixth time that he would give
the cat the morsel. This number was
repeated every day until the cat grew
accustomed to waiting five times, but
would spring forward Of its own accord
at the sixth presentation. Having
thus demonstrated that pussy was able
to remember up to six, the doctor tried
to seven, but without success. AS
soon as he attempted to perform the
experiment with higher numbers the
cat became confused and would jump
forward for the meat at the wrong
time. The number six, therefore,
seems to be the limit of the cat IS
power of counting.-Boston Journal.
