By some means We failed to get
the Piedmont Headlight week before
last, but while in Columbia We were
told that Editor CAN'T had poured
hot-shot into US. We Immediately
wrote for copy containing the
article and instead Of finding hot
shot, We discovered that CAN'T had
been doing some slop-slinging. He
said that be would state for our ed
i6cation that Senator Irby had never
accused him of opening other peoples
letters: of course, insinuating in
most cowardly manner that We had
been so accused. Now to show the
character of this miserable hypocrite
we looked all through our desk for
q letter from him Immediately after
that slanderous accusation was made
against US; but failed to find it. We
have it somewhere and will yet run
upon it. In this letter he expressed
his utmost confidence in our inno-
cence Of the charge and offered his
services to us in case we were to have
personal conflict. He professed
great friendship and denounced our
prosecutors. Now that we differ
with him on many points and oc-
cssionally roast him for his incoa-
s;stsncy he retorts by peeping through
the fence and making faces at US with
that mis6t countenance he carries
about with him. Some follower Of
Darwin ought to secure that counter.
ance to exhibit from lecture plat
form.
No, Senator Eby has never accused
CAN'T of opening letters belonging
to other people because he knows
nobody would give CAN'T the oppor-
tunity; when the Senator talks be
does not want to make himself redic-
ulous and when he said sIarry can
out-Ge them ALL" he knew his man
and knew what he was talking about.
In making this fling at US, CAN'T with
monkey-like imitation is only mimic
ing the Spartsnburg Hearld. That
paper had something to say about
this letter opening business by way
of retort during the campaign and
before the matter was placed before
the court, but it has had the decency
not to repeat it since our vindica-
cation.
If CAN'T believed the accusation Of
our opening other peoples letters
was true, his letter to US was wilful
deception, and may We be delivered
from such friends. # he believed
she accusation was false and the
"work of a william" as he expressed
it in his letter, then he is even worse
than the william for stealing his
weapon to strike US with.

Telling Trees With Gun Cotton.

The lumbermen of Sweden, Norway,
Russia and several other countries across
the waters, as well as those of British Co
lumbia, Canada, Montana, Wyoming, Min

way OF telling forest giants which beats
anything that can be done with an AK in

man. 1t Is one of the most simple opera
tions Imaginable and consists of binding q
series Of compressed cakes Of gun cotton
around the tree trunk with q small COP
per wire. To this wire battery of suffi
cient strength is attached and at the prop
er moment current of electricity Is
turned on, which explodes the gun cotton.
The forco of such an explosion has the ef-
feet OF telling the tree instantly, the sew

An Estimate of Wellington.

The place / should be inclined to assign
to Wellington as general would be one
III the very first rank. equal, if not supo
rior to that given to Napoleon. In esti-
mating the comparative merits of these IL
lustrious rivals it may be conceded that
the schemes OF the French emperor were
more comprehensive, his genius more daz-
zling and his Imagination more vivid than
Wellington's. On tho other hand. tho
latter excelled in that GOODNESS of Judgment
which Napoleon himself described as "the
foremost quality in general 1t must
also be remembered that as soon as Napo-
leon had attained supreme power in France
tho whole resources of that country and of
great part of the continent were at his
disposal.
He could raise enormous armies, incur
vast expenditure and sacrifice large num-
bers of troops in carrying out his plans.
Moreover, he was absolutely unfcttered in
his selection Of the best qualified officers
for commands and staff appointments.
Developing a system of tactics which
proved extremely effective against his con-
t1nental enemies and until his last cam.
paign only opposed by second rate gen.
erals, Napoleon gained victories so decisive
and overwhelming that for "a time he was
believed to be invincible. His presence on
the field of battle was regarded as euuiya-
lent to force of 40, 900 men. Lord Rob-
