self is perfect fortress. The work on
it was begun so years ago, and not a
stick of wood was put into the struc-
ture. J. Frazee was the architect, and
he spared no expense in making it
burglar proof and fire proof. The
granite walls are feet thick, and the
floors are of steel and marble. Stone
and iron were used for the interior
walls, and the arches and ceiling are
of solid masonry. Even the roof is of
granite, and so curved that projectile

probably be deflected if it struck it.
The granite roof is studded with ar
mored turrets strong enough to with
stand hailstorm of bullets and built
like the turrets on the monitors of the
navy. Portfolios pierce the walls of
these turrets. Some of them are small
just large enough to permit marks

through and draw sight, and others
are large enough to permit the use Of
a Gatling rapid-tire gun. There is an
arsenal on the third floor containing

suppress an exclamation when my eyes
fell upon an Associated Press dispatch
from London which read:
LONDON, Feb II, 1873.
An amazing fraud has been perpetrated upor
the Bank Of England by young American
who gave the name Of Frederick Albert War
rem. The loss of the bank Is reported to bt
from three to ten millions, and 1t is rumored
| that many London banks have been victimized
to enormous amounts. The greatest excite
ment prevails in the city, and the forgery
| for such 1t Is. is the one topic OF conversation
on the exchange and in the street. The police
are completely ut fault, although young
man named Noyes, who was Warren's clerk
has been arrested, but it Is believed that he Is
dupe.
The bank has offered reward Of $4,000 fol

Not O soul in all Europe knew I was
in Cuba, and so long as my name did
not transpire I was as safe in Cuba as il
in the desert.
Consequently I determined to go on
in the same way since our landing. In
the meanwhile l would watch the pa
pers, and if any signs of danger appear
ed could take instant measures for my
vafety.
The next French steamer for Mexico
was advertised to land at Havana for
passengers and mails for Vera Cruz in
few days, and I determined to sail by
her.

tion and rare detective skill let daylight
into the whole plot, and had reported
that whenever F. A. Warren was dis
covered he would prove to be Austin

DIFFERENCES IN HUMAN NATURE.

One of the most striking things in all
nature is the difference that exists be-
tween the various individuals of the
same class. 1t is said that if our pow
er of vision were sufficiently acute, we
should perceive that no two blades OF
grass, no two grains of sand, no two
drops of water were precisely similar.
We know this to be true of everything
which comes within the scope of our
observation, both in the organic and
inorganic world, and it is only reason
able to believe that the same law
reigns through the entire universe.
These differences become more OBJ
vious to us as we become more famil-
lar with the type.
We easily recognize the variations
in the trees of the forest in the birds OF
the air, in the beasts of the fields, in
the features and forms of the men and
women who surround us, and the
oftener we observe them, and the more
closely we scrutinize them, the greater
is the diversity that we discover be.
tween them. When we know per-
son we'll, it is impossible that we can
mistake him for any one else; his pc.
culiar expressions of tace and form and
manner are stamped upon our memo
ry and excite our instant recognition.
No two minds run in the same chan
nels, or think exactly each others
thoughts. Truth is many sided, and
multitudes of men and women stand
still, viewing continually but one of
her phases. Did they but move
around her, changing their respective
attitudes, they would appreciate one
another far better. Excellent people
sometimes regret that there are so
many differences of opinion upon a sin
gle subject.
If all were agreed, they say, how
smoothly and harmoniously might all
work together for the general good !!
They forget that, were it possible,
there would be no concensus of truth,
no gathering together of its many
features, no comparison of its many
aspects. 1t is just this mingling OF
sincere convictions that enables men to
correct their falacies, to retrieve their
blunders, to arrive at something like
wise judgment and correct conclu-
sions. Yet we chafe and fret at these
very differences, and attribute to them
many of the evils which really belong
to our unwillingness to recognize and
accept them.
Too often irritation, i'll feeling and
even anger arise from this innocent
cause. Interchange ofopinion, wheth-
er in ordinary conversation or in dis
cussions and debate, is among the
most instructive and valuable means of
forming true opinions, yet often it is
poisoned by a dogmatism that will
brook no contradiction, and a temper
which regards all dissent as a personal

LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE.

The Preaching of Mr.. Pressly-Danger o
the Cotton Elevator-Personal and 9th
er Notes.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HICKORY GROVE, October 16.-The
new schedule on the 0. R. and c. rail-
road spoken of, seems to meet with the
approval ofthe people here.
Mr.. William Sprouse has sent his
three children TO Cedar Springs instl'
tute.
A large crowd gathered at the a. R
P. church on Sunday to hear Rev. Jas.
Pressly. Mr.. Pressly is one Of the best
preachers that has ever visited our
town, and all hope the day is not far
distant when he will return. His text
was, II have trodden the wine-press
alone;" and from beginning to end, he
held the audience spell bound.
Rev. C. T. Scaife will open u pro-
tracted meeting at the Baptist church
here next Saturday evening. Mr..
Scaife is one of the most able Baptist
ministers in the State, and all who hear
him will be well paid.
Mr.. J. i. Strain paid visit to the
Mount Vernon Sunday-school, last
Sunday and gave sotne good advice TO
the children.
Mrs. f. a. Crawford, of Yorkville,
accompanied by her daughter, Miss
Winnie Davis, paid Il visit to her faith
cr, Mr. Jas Scoggins, on Sunday. They
returned Monday.
Rev. &. r. Harmon, of Rock Hill,
and presiding elder of this circuit, re-
turned home after IL pleasant visit to
Rev. j. H. Thacker.
Messrs. w. C. Thomson, Rainey and
Ratchford, Of Sharon, were over Sun
day visiting friends.
The late fire has made some men
think lately, and some steps will be
taken for fire protection.
There is no doubt here about the
elevator at the gin being dangerous.
Mr.. Martin says ne would not have
one if they would give it to him. Mr..
Moorhead, president of the mill, says
they have an elevator they will sell
cheap.
Mr.. R. L. A. Smith has been re-
elected superintendent of the Sunday
school for the ensuing year. MIR.
Smith earnestly requests parents to
send their children. T.

One days stay in Cuba convinced us
we could spend q month very happily
on the island, and discovering that Don
Fernando, the proprietor Of the hotel,
had furnished house in lovely situa-
tion to let, we resolved to remain, rent
ing the house for month at fixed rate
per day. This rate included the ten serv-
ants-sluves-in the house, he to fur
nish good horses and everything except
wine. The service proved good and the
cooking exquisite. This was rather ex-
pensive, but certainly handy kind of
housekeeping, taking all worry and
household cares from my wife's shoul-
ders.
Our house was on lovely slope in
full view of the gulf of Mexico and in
the midst of what was more like trop-
ical plantation than a garden.
I made the acquaintance Of General
Torbert, our consul, and was introduced
by him to the Spanish officials, includ-

cultivated the acquaintance of the lat
ter and frequently had him out to the
house to dinner and lunch and felt pref
ty confident that if any kilograms came
about me he would certainly bring
them to me at once for an explanation.
Even if my presence became known and
telegraphic orders for my arrest should
arrive no speedy action would be taken
and ample time given me to escape.

BI Worry seams the face with fur
rows, and has a bad effect upon that
sensitive organ, the stomach. Indeed
it is safe to say that unless encouraged
by a cheerful temper and bright, or, at
least hopeful thoughts, the stomach
will play truant or sulk or dc no good
work. The physiological explanation
of this is the close alliance of the SYM
pathetic nerves, which are worse than
the telegraph for carrying bad news
the worry and anxiety which depress
the brain produce semi-paralysis of
the nerves of the stomach; gastric
juices will not flow, and there follows
indigestion.

POCKET MONEY FOR CHILDREN
Children delight in having money o.
their own to keep or to spend as they
choose, and if allowed or required te
earn such spending money they soon
learn to appreciate its value. With q
timely hint now and then, they will
not recklessly invest their nickles, but
with happy, praiseworthy indepen'
dence will insist on furnishing their
own pennies for Sunday-school and
paying for their jackknives and fish
hooks and marbles and sand paper and
patent pencils, or doll equipments, and
whatever else weights boys pocket,
and is dear to little girls heart.

CULTIVATE Your CHILD's TEACHER.
The first thing to do is to visit the
school which your children attend.
Make point of this, even if it means
a sacrifice of something else, writes
Edward w. Box in an article on sour
Schools and Our Teachers" in the
September Ladies' Home Journal. Few
things can be more important than to
see for yourself the surroundings OF
your children during school hours.
Observe quietly, yet keenly; but re-
member that any observations or COM
ments you have to make, the teacher
of the class in which your child hap
pens to be, is not the proper person to
whom to make them. The principal
of the school or the superintendent is
the proper functionary for such purpo-
ses. The teacher is helpless; she must
accept conditions as she finds them.
She is an employee, pure and simple.
But seek her out and win her ac-
quaintance and confidence. Show her
that you mean to cooperate with her.
She knows that the best results can
be obtained when teacher and parent
cooperate. Invite her to your home
not in a general way but at definite
time. Make her feel that you want
her to b. something more than the
teacher of your child. Make friend
of her if you can; at least give her an
opportunity to show that she has an
other side to her nature than that
which she shows in the classroom.
The teachers burden is a heay one
rather than light one.
