The stornicst Region.

In reply TO the query of which is the
stormicst region of the ocean Pearson :
Weekly says: Taking tho question III
the ordinary sense of the words, this
evil distinction must be given to the
region lying about Cape Horn, or Cape
Smoke, as it is aptly and with good
reason called by mariners. 1t is true
that no storms so violent as the hurri-
canes of the West Indies, tho cyclones
of the North American Atlantic coast
or the typhoons Of the China seas are to
be met with here.
But on the other hand, the waters
of Cape Horn have never been unvisited
by storms for moro than n week or two
at stretch within the memory of man
Standing OH the outpost of the world,
Cape Horn is the meeting place of ocean
currents of very different temperatures
from the icy cold waters Of the Antarctic
drift to the warmth of the Brazil and Pc
ruvian return currents. The prevailing
winds are from the northwest and west,
and these coming from the warm regions
of thc Pacific condcnsc into thefog which
sailors call 'Capo Horn blankets and
which are the sure forcrunners of storms.
The extremely low level to which the
glaciers Of Terra del Fucgo descend,
the perpetual congelation Of the subsoil,
tho meeting of conflicting winds of very
different temperatures, are all direct OF
Indirect causes combining to make this
the most constantly stormy region of the
world.

ing the object of envy OF the entire
newspaper fraternity in this country.
1t gave, as a leader to its South Caro-
linian news, what purported to be a
statement from Governor Tillman him
self. The Herald has shown it's great
ness by frankly admitting, in a subse.
quent issue, that it was deceived as to
the truth of this item, explaining that,
in answer to a telegram sent to the

for the answer which was expected from
Governor Tillman, and which was used
over his name.

out OF $3.50 by Davis. The bartender
received one of Davis circulars, and he
and keitsch determined to capture
Davis. They came TO New York, and
met Davis at the Vanderb Hotel
They suspended negotiations for the
green goods long enough to notify the
police, and the green goods operator was
arrested. The Roanoke citizens were
very much disgusted at being locked up
as witnesses pending further exam

THE SOUTH Carolina SITUATION,

Petersburg IndexAppeal: There is
much senseless criticism BY the news
papers Of Governor Tillman's course in
dealing with tho insurrectionar coun-
ties in South Carolina. This unjust
criticism Is the outgrowth Of ignorance,
I'd, in greater degree, of prejudice. In
enforcing the laws and upholding the
authority OF the State government,
Governor Tillman is only performing
his sworn duty. 1t is charac teristic OF
the N an to perform this duty as he does
everything else with promptness OF de-
cision and vigor of action.
We have been inclined to believe with
our esteemed Petersburg contemporary
from the beginning of this trouble, and
as the true details Of the unfortunate
calamity came to hand, we are more
thoroughly convinced than ever that
Governor Tillman has acted in this
matter as only man in his capacity
could have acted.
While opinions may differ as 10 the
best methods of4controlling the liquor
traffic, whilo many may not agree with
Governor Tiilman in the views he holds
or commend his pohty in the past, it
must be admitted tina, he was con
fronted with situation at Darlington
which seemed 10 require just such
urgent means for suppression as he
used.
lie had every reason TO believe that
the whole section was up in arms and
threatening dire vengeance against his
constables. J As u man quick to act and
OF Hrm determination, he calls out the
militia and declares two counties in a
state of insurrection. 1t was a renec.
ton against the officials tof those
counties, to be sure, but it was. appar-
entity, rebuke we'll merited.
AS result of the whole war, which
has stirred the whole State and excited
the whole country, four men lie dead
and an enmity against the governor has
arisen which it is not probable thattim
will efface. The episode has served to
bring out point from which other
States may profit in the future, and this
point is in connection with the citizen
soldiery which the State supports. We
cannot commend the course taken by
the several companies in disba ling
when called into action rather than
obey the commands Of their chief.
1t was entirely wrong for each and
every man in those com panies to retain
their position aud commission when
unier such an emergency as has hap
pened they would know that they were
not in accord with thoir commander
Their resignation should have been sen
in when they found that they were no
in sym pathy with his views and hi
policy.
By their &C tions last week these mer
have shown themselves to be rank de
serters and not worthy OF the name o
soldiers Such as they cannot be de
pended upon al any timo, and it is only
under such emergencies that theil
worthlessneS becomes apparent.

a Joke on LongfeIIow.

A good story of Poet Longfcllow is
told by the Bath (Mc.) Independent.
Theodore S. Mcclellan was foreman of
the printing establishment of Joseph
Griffin when Longfellow, then living
in the Barrows' house. issued his first
volume of poems and worked on the
book. Longfcllow was very painstaking
with his manuscript and always used to
send in the copy for each form nicely
stitched together. To distribute it
among the compositors it had to be cut
apart. This annoyed the poet greatly,
and he protested earnestly against the
mutilation. Three different proof sheets
wero sent him, it being understood that
if the last proof was not returned to the
Office within half an hour the form could
be struck off. On one occasion Long
fellow wrote on the back of the first re.
wise:
Mr.. Griffin, Mr. Griffin
If you let that devil" Theodore.
Cut my copy any more,
I'll destroy him in jfhn.
The lines We're set up and printed in
the final revise, which was sent to the
poet, and then taken out. The boy had
hardly reached the office when Longfcl-
low rushed in, white with excitement
and fear, lest tho form had been run off
His relief OH discovering that he was
tho victim of n practical joke may be
imagined better than described.
