There Isl mystery as to who fred the
shot and how the ~cons.ables were
hurt. The weapons in the wsgon with
Durham and Fisher had not been fred.
A horse strange in the neighborhood
was found saddled and bridled this
morning lei q patch of woods u hun
drfd yards above the place where
the shooting occurred and an overcoat
was also found. This IL thought TO in
dictate thst a man was riding in rear
of the wagon and fired on the consta-
bles and escaped IN the darkness. On
the other hand o tIustw orthy man
from this city who slept at a house In
the neighborhood and came down
early this morning reports that he
noticed In the wet road the marks
where the wagon had turned out
of the road into the woods during the
rain and afterward started on down
aud that there were only the tracks OF
the two mules and no sign of any horse
following. 1t is possible that the
horse and overcoat belonged to some
man who had met Durham and Fisher
in the woods to receive whiskey as
they are said to have beeen in the habi,
OF delivering it in that neighborhood
Two barrels and a keg of whiskey
were found in the wagon. There wa
a great pool of blood at the poin'
where the shooting occurred.

SPARTANBURG, juno 2S-9.30 p. m
The verdict of the coroner's inquest
" as that Fisher and Durham came to
their deaths at the hands of persons
UNKNOWN. There was no one to testify
as the constables refused to do 30.
Pettigrew was brought to town this
evening. He may recover.
The bodies of Fisher and Durham
were carried to Tryon for burial at
their homes near by. 1t was believed
by persons who were on the ground
this morning that Fisher and Durham
never fired. Their guns were all fully
loaded. Several persons state that
some of the c%onstables said that they
would kill these two men on sight.
The town is quiet and there is no
suspicion of any trouble here. Two
of the constables surrendered TO the
sheriff, a warrant having been sworn
out against them. There was q fifth
special constable but his nam is no,

The FARM IIoME--It is n com
mon complaint hat the farm and
farm life are not appreciated by our
people. We long for the more ele-
CANT pursuits, or the ways and fash
ions of the town. But the farmer
has the most sane and natural occu-
patton, and ought to find life sweeter,
if less highly seasoned, than any
other. He alone, strictly speaking,
has a home. How can a man take
root and live without land? He
writes his history upon his field.
How many ties and resources he has;
his friendships with his cattle, his
team, his dog, his trees; the salts
faction in his growingcrops, in his
improved fields; his Intimacy with
nature, with bird and beast, and with
the quickening elemental forces.
CHING to the farm make much of
it; bestow your heart, your brain
upon it, so that it shall SAVIOR of YOU
and radiate your virtues after your
days work is done.-1he Ceniury

front OF the pulpit. After PRAYER
and a national anthem, some Young
man would read the Declaration of
independence. The children of that
day, and for twenty years later,
almost knew the "Declaration" by
heart, from hearing it read yearly
under circumstances so likely to
impress young hearts and memories.
Then followed the Grafton, usually
by some young graduate or lawyer,
selected perhaps II year before. A
public dinner or barbecue usually
followed, where toasts, speeches,
music and general good fellow-feel-
ing, marked the closing hours of the
day. OF course, our national vice
of excess in drink too often marred
the festivities of the day. Several
causes united to lessen Unpopular
interest in these celebrations before
the middle of the century. The SEN
timent and rhetoric of the o
tions" were in danger of becoming
stale-not deliberately insincere, but
~eXtravagant, secondhand, conven-
tional. And, unfortunately. sec
tional feelings became strong. Love
for the Union declined, and ever
hatred of it became more common,
with partisans, both North and
South. AT Il convention held in
Columbia, in 1888, an eloquent and
honest Disunionist defied any one tc

loved the Union. The yenefabl,
Samuel Warren, for many year,
president of Our State Senate, ros,

Animals and Music.

A recent German writer, who is
evidently both a lover of animals
and'a musician, says ''yes" to this
question most alphabetically. We
give an abstract of what he SAYS,
taken from De Auiur, Halle, Dc
ccmber 9:
Of course animals have an eur for
music! Look ut the birds; doesn't
the nightingale sing, and doesn't its
mate know and recognize the song !?
VI curse there are some people who
fail to recognize the fact that the
notes of birds are true musical notes.
but they are 50 /; in fact, the notes of
the speaking human voice differ from
musical tones only in their periodi-
city. AS soon us this is understood,
there ought to be no difficulty i'm
acknowledging that 'singing-birds'
really sing. Whoever will take the
trouble to attend closely to a can
AIRY birds song may satisfy himself
on this point. That such birds hear
and recognize each others songs is
proved by the following observation
OF the German writer referred to
above. He had II canary that always
began its song with II signal. An
other bird of II different breed, being
brought into the same room, first
sang its own song vigorously, but
soon learned and adopted the signal,
beginning its songs with it, just like
the other bird. Canaries, too. are
often stimulated to song by music,
for instance, hat of II piano, ~espec-
Tally when Il piece having high notes
is played. One, canary which was
too young to sing was first urged to
try his voice by hearing the Tam
ilauscr overture played. OF Course,
however, it is with song-birds as
with men-they have not all equally
good voices or equally good ears for
music. The mountaineers of Ger
many, whose occupation it is to
teach birds to whistle tunes, know
well. They distinguish also
several different varieties or types of
song among finches and canaries, and.
indeed, every bird has an individual

is nearly the same for each variety

songs of a people always show a
marked individuality and a differ

Outside of the bird world, there is
no power of song in the animal
creation, but there is often q we'll

and the camel are both very suscep-
tible to music. The circus rider
exercises his horse to the strains of

FROM the boston Transcript.
There was a scene the other day at
that particularly windy corner Of Hunt
ington avenue and Exeter street which
the Listener had never before seen the
like of. A very fashionable young man
had just come out into the wind from
the shelter of the buildings, when the
gale took off his hat and whirled it down
the street toward Copley square at a ter
rble rate
The young man looked helplessy after
it, In the midst of its flight it CHANGED
TO pass near a very pretty girl on the
sidewalk. She made a run for it, caught
It, and actually started a little toward
the young man with it; and as he pres
emily came trotting up she took out her
handkerchief, busted the hat and handed
it to the young man with a bow He
was actually too much dumbfounded by
the proceeding to utter a word of thanks.
He merely took his hat and thrust it
foolishly on his head, while the young
lady. with a faint smile on her pretty
face walked away, And there was not
q single bvstander, even in that conserv-
alive neighborhood who seemed in tho
least shocked, or. indeed, other than
pleased.
