dseboats are gradually developing S-lto a recognized feature of American summer life-west as well as east of the Rocky Mountains. The fashion has been imported in the last place from England; j; but it's origin may be traced to China, h. dia and other oriental countries, large proportion of whose population is born, lives and dies on these floating homes Houseboats can be leased quite as cheap ly as cottages for the hot months of the year, and they offer many advantages which are afforded neither by the country villa nor by the summer hotel to those in search of change of scene and air.

Gov. CoFFIN's appointments for factory inspector and railroad, labor and bank commissioners are all good ones. That of labor commissioner is most criticised, perhaps, for the reason that there are more disappointed applicants in that case than in the others. Col. Horne was born in Ireland. He served through the war, beginning as private and rising to cap taincy, also serving as aide-de-campe. At the close of the war Col. Horne studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1869
 He represented Winchester in the general assembly of 1884, and was United States consul at St. Thomas, West Indies, under President Harrisons administration. In 1887 he was appointed aid with the rank of colonel on the staff of Governor Louns- bury. In the western part of the state, where Col. Horne is best known, the se- lection gives very general satitfaction.

St. Louis Star-Sayings: Disguised re- gently with the number of Germans who asked to be excused from jury duty on the ground that they were unable to speak the English language, Judge Edmunds nounced, plainly, that he would issue hereafter naturalization papers to no for eigner who cannot, at least, make req sonable attempt at speaking the language of the country. The decision was called out by the case of one aged German, who has been voting for fifteen years, and was unable to understand an English word or phrase.

A Greenville Company Organized to
Construct IL Through.
The State, Goth inst.
Recently there has been a great deal
OF talk about building short railroad
line from Charleston to the West
Knoxville, Tenn, via Greenville, run
ming directly from the mountains to
the peaboard and vice versa. This talk
seems to have started the ball rolling
looking to the construction of such a
road, for yesterday the Secretary of
State issued q commission to Frank
Hammond, w. e. Beattie, James A.
Hoyt, a. G. Furman, Lewis w. Parker
and Joseph Mccullough, as the c0rpor-
at0rs of the Construction Company of
Greenville, formed " for the purpose
of constructing railroad from the city
of Charleston or such other point in
this or any other State as they may de-
termine by way of Greenville, in the
said city and State, to the city of
Knoxville, in the State Of Tennessee,
or to such other point as they may de-
termine." The capital stock of the
company is to be 100000, divided into
100 shares OF 81 900 each.
What there is behind the organiza-
tion of this company is not known
here, but 1T looks as If the Greeuville
business men at least are meaning
business.

Several changes were made in the
State constitution, most of them minor
in character. The most important one
was the abolishment of the offices of
treasurer and State lecturer and de-
volving the duties thereof upon the
secretary and the vice president re-
spectively.
1t was decided to continue the publi-
cation of the Cotton plant as the offic-
ial organ of the Alliance and run it
henceforth upon an extended scale.
The election of officers resulted in the
choice of the following:
President-Jos. l.. Keitt, Newberry.
Vice president and State lecturer
j. @. Wilborn, of York.
Secretary and treasurer. w. Reid,
OF Spartanburg.
Executive committeeman N.
Elder, of York.
Delegate to the National Alliance
j. w. Bowden, Anderson.
A resolution of thanks was adopted
directed to the Columbia Alliance and
Its friends for the cordial treatment
accorded the member while in the
city.
After the installation OF officers, the
alliance adjourned sine die.

ANOTHER STAR ON THE FLAG.--
Another star, the forty-tifth, is TO be
added to the flag. The new star will
represent Utah, and the order for its
addition to the national colors has peen
issued by Secretary Lamont. The star
will be added to the right of the fourth
row from the top. The order for the
addition OF the star is accompanied by
one changing the size of the colors.
Heretofore the standard has been six
feet by five. The new order makes
the regulation size FIVE feet six inches
by four feet five inches. The order
provides for the new colors to be is
sued to all infantry, artillery and the
battalions OF engineers, and also for
new standards for all cavalry. The
new flags will be very handsome.
They are to be made of the finest
American silk, and their cost will be
quite considerable. Utah will not
attain statehood until the fourth day
of next July, but all the flags hereafter
contracted for and issued will contain
the star heralding the admission ol
that territory into the union Of the
United States.

much interest was shown in the well

and spirited speeches, full of sugges-

Taibert, Mr.. Bowden, Mr.. Pickett and

the Alliance took recess until 8

THE NIGHT SESSION.
The night session Of the Alliance
was a long one. The members went
at their work with the intention of
completing the business and adjourn
ing sine die before morning, and they
did it. The final adjournment was
reached about q. m. The only feature
of the nights work was the election OF

occupy the position of a confidential
staff officer with Gen Lee during the
entire period OF the war for Southern
independence, as Col. Taylor himself
claims in the preface to his admirable
argument, based upon indisputable
facts, and which bears witness to the
matchless valor of the Confederate
sOldiery.

quered," in the light OF such figures,
is in order:
Speak, history! Who are life's victors?

A REv1LER STRUCK DUMB

A REvILER STRUCK DUMB.-A
special to the Savannah Morning
News from Athens, Ga, tells of a
remarkable incident that occurred at
a big Methodist revival in progress
for the last week at High Shoals, Id
miles from that place. William
Hogewood, living at High Shoals, was
once Methodist, but had turned un.
believer. He would attend the meet
ings, go in the church, but soon
coming out would get crowd around
him and ridicule the whole proceed
ings. Sunday afternoon, while loudly
railing against religion, ETC., and while
in the midst of a sentence, he suddenly
stopped, and has not spoken since.
Everything possible has been done to
restore his speech, but to no avail.
The man is sound and hearty in every
other respect. He went to the church
yesterday and was seen by the minister
to be shaking all over. He took paper
and pencil and wrote few lines and
handed the note to the pastor, who
read it to the meeting. 1t was 81
