THE LAST MAN.

BY ANYBODY BUT THOMAS CAMPBELL.
Lines found upon young gentle
mans desk dedicated to "Big Sleeves"
and marked copied"
/ dreamed a dream the other night,
When everything was hushed and
Which made each hair stand up with
fright,
Stiff as IA porcupine's last quill.
Methought that ladies' sleeves had
grown
To such vast and monstrous size
That there was room for them alone
And none for man-beneath the
skies.
The beast and every creeping thing
Had died. The flowers bloomed no
more;
The grass and tender herbs of spring,
Were withered on the desert shore;
Ten million leagues of biggest sleeves,
Stretched everywhere-a funeral
And on the earth. and trees and
leaves,
The suns bright rays could never
fall.
On Ararat's cloud-curtained peak
The last man stood with pallid
face,
Sick, trembling, weary, worn and
weak,
Sad remnant of a smothering race.
In vain ! alas poor man in vain
His footsteps sought that rest of Old
For clouds of sleeves soon filed the
plain,
And hid the mountain in their fold.
Still bigger grew those sleeves apace .
Until they reached the summit
high
And streamed above the poor mans
face
Like snowy banners in the sky.
Then looking DER the precipice
snake room for woman's sleeves!'
he cried
And, fiinging down the dark abyss
Made room for woman's sleeves, and
died.

buildings will be completed without
work being stopped. The building

TILLMANITES IN A MOB.
Col. Dargan Run Out of Edgef1eld
Where He Was to Speak.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 27.-Yester-
day mob of white men drove Col.
John j. Dargan out of Edgef1eld,
| where he had gone to deliver speech
advocating fair treatment of the
negroes in the approaching election OF
delegates to the Constitutional Con-
veDtion. Col. Dargan has spoken on
this subject IN Columbia and Charles
ton, and had made appointments to
speak in several smaller towns Of the
State.
Edgefield was among the number
He had been warned by letter and
OtherN Sc that if he persisted in his
efforts, which it was believed were
calculated to incite the negroes, that
he would be killed. Crossbones and
coffin pictures haye been sent to him,
and he has been hanged in etfigy in
several places in the State because of
his denunciations of the personal
methods of Senator Tillman and Gov.
Evans.
The trip to Edgef1eld has been
looked forward to with curiosity.
The township had decided to hear
him speak, but yesterday morning,
soon after his arrival, the town was
over-run with Tillmanites from the
country districts, who held a meeting
and decided that he should not be al
lowed to speak. A committee was ap-
appointed to tell him so and order him
to leave town Immediately.
Col. Dargan received the committee
and agreed not to attempt to make
his address, but he did not consent to
leave town. When he appeared on
the main street of the town he was
followed by mob, who hooted, jeered
and swore at him. Several who went
to his support were treated in SINH
lar manner, and the mob becoming
more bolsterous, Col. Dargan with
drew to the office of a friend, which
was soon surrounded by a howling
mob, who dared him to attempt TO
make speech. AS the situation was
becoming threatening, it was decided
hest for Col. Dargan to leave town,
which he did, in company with few
friends, who escaped the notice of the
mob. TIE Tillmanites say that he
will not be allowed to make another
speech in South Carolina.

A Three-Eyed PaD.

Thomas Crysel tells the Wilkesboro
Chronicle of an interesting curiosity
over on his plantation. A negro ten
ant owns pup week old or little
over that has three well developed
eyes. Two of them are in their nat
ural positions. The third eye is about
half way between the other two and
is somewhat higher up in the head.
The pup is lively and doing well, and
acts just like any other pup would. 1t

GREAT RELIGIOUS EVENT
THE INTERNATIONAL EPWORTH
LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Composed of 8, 900 DeIegates--Chorus
of 500 Trained Voices-Sun-Rise
Prayer-Meetings to be Held.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 81
One of the greatest events in religious
circles OF the present year is the Inter
national Epworth League Convention
which opens here today. The conyen-
tion is composed of $4,000 delegates
representing more than 1000, 900 mem
bers of the Epworth League and in
cludes the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the Nj. E. Church South and
the Methodist Church of Canada.
The last international convention of
the young people of Methodism was
held in Cleveland two years ago and
was notable event even among the
great conventions which have been
held in that city, but this convention
will easily eclipse all its predecessors.
The committee on management has
at great expense secured the tent used
at Cleveland last year by the Inter
national Convention of Christian
Endeayor and it is used as the princi-
pal auditorium and provision has been
made for overflow meetings in the
churches. Roth branches of Method
ism in this city have worked together
heartily in arranging entertainment
for the gathering and they have sue
ceeded we'll.
The music is under the direction of
Rowland ID. Williams, well known
throughout the South, as a music
director. There is a chorus OF 500
trained voices; a male choir of 100
voices; the arion glee CLUB, l6 voices;
and an orchestra of thirty-six instru-
ments and the Park sisters, of Boston,
who are unparalleled as cornetists,
players on the trombone and other
Instruments. A special feature is the
arrangement for 1000 school children
to lead the singing.
"A large number of the bishops, of
both sections of Methodism, are pres
ent and participating in the conven-
tion. Among those who have special
parts on the program are Bishops
Vincent, Joyce and Troburn, of the
NJ. E. Church, and Bishops Hendrix,
Galloway and Fitzgerald, of the M. E..
Church South.
One of the novel features of the
convention is sunrise prayer-meetings
every morning on Lookout Mountain.
The delegates will have plenty of time
during their stay here to visit the
various battletields of the civil war in
this vicinity.

THE ACTS OF A MADMAN.
He Kills His Wife, Shooting Her
Twice

Twice.
The Charlotte Observer Saturday
told Of horrible affair which occurred
near Huntersville, Mecklenburg coun-
ty, yesterday afternoon.
a white man named Sims, who is a
farmer, was at work in his cotton
patch when 3 or boys Of the neigh
borhood passed along. They hollered
at Sims, not meaning any harm, but
he took it as an insult, and went out
to the roadside to resent it. The boys
seeing that he was beside himself with
anger, were very much frightened,
and one of the boys told him they
meant no insult.
As Sims turned to go back one of
the boys remarked that if he had any
work to do he had better go do it.
Sims turned again on the boys, furi-
ouSly. One of the bravest in the
crowd picked up rock and threw it
at him. Sims put his hands to his
hip pocket, drew forth a pistol and
fired at tie boys. The ball struck one
(nanIe not known) under the eye, it is
thought, mortally wounding him.
the house. His wife saw him coming,
and divining intuitively.that he meant
harm to her ran out of the house and
across the field. Two boys in the field
saw Sims and tried to stop him by
throwing rocks at him. He turned on
the boys and tried to get shot at
them, but they ran and got away from
him.
He then pursued and caught his
wife, who, frightened nearly out of
her wits, had hidden in the field. The
demented husband, with pistol still
in hand, took aim as soon as he got in
range of his wife and fired. She fell,
the ball having struck her in the
body. Sims then put the pistol to his
| wife's temple and fired, killing her
instantly.
Sims left his wife in the field well
| tering in her own blood and went to
Huntersvjlle and gave himself up to
| Mr.. ]. w. Mullen. He said the reason
| he killed his wife was that he knew
| he would either be hung or sent to the
penitentiary for life for shooting the
| boy, and he could not bear to be sepa-
rated from her.
The boy who was shot was taken by
| the other boys in the crowd to a
neighboring house and physician
| summoned. His chances for life are
slim.
Sims was carried to Charlotte
| and lodged in jail.

International Prison Congress.

PARIS, June 29.-The International
Prison Congress convenes here tOmor-
row with delegates from all civilized
countries. Some fifty propositions and
queries are enunciated for debate, of
which some are very broad. One OF
the questions which will attract a
great amount of attention and which
has already been much thought Of, is
"Are Prisoners entitled to salary ?''
The recommendations of past con-
crosses have been adopted in many of
the prisons of the world and have
worked we'll therefore, 1t is conceded
that the results of this congress will
accomplish much good in the manage
ment of prisons.

HARDIN THE WINNER.
NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR OF
KENTUCKY.
A Silver Man to Run on n Gold Rup
Platform-R. f. Ford Nominated
for the State Treasurer.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 26.--The
Democratic State Convention of Ken
lucky has certainly endorsed the ad-
ministration, with special tributes to
President Cleveland and his distin-
guished coadvser Secretary John
G. Carlisle. No "outing" was
ever productive of more effective re-
results than that of Secretary Carlisle
to Kentucky and the Memphis con-
yention. The silverites, including
Senator Blackburn, attribute their de-
1eat TO the recent speeches of Carlisle
and the circulation that was given
them.
The financial plank, as adopted, is
as follows: We reaffirm, without quail
ficat'en the principles and policies
declared by the national Democratic
platform of '92, and declare that our
present Democratic administration is
entitled TO the thanks of the party
for its courageous and statesnlanlike
management OF public affairs, and we
express our undiminiShed confidence
in the Democracy and patriotism OF
President Grover Cleveland and his
distinguished co advisor and secretary,
John G.. Carlisle of Kentucky.
The names of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle were received
| with prolonged applause.
When the convention reasSembled
at 7:30 p. N. General Cassius NJ Clay
| and z Wat Hardin were nominated for
Governor. The vote resulted: Hardin,
1861; Clay, 3304; Stone, &c; Waiter
| son, ,.
Before the ballot was announced,
| the Clay men moved that the nominal
tion of General Hardin be made unan-
| nous, and it was carried with great
hurrah. II. Il. Tyler was nominated
| for lieutenant governor.
General Hardin, the candidate for
| governor is as pronounced for free
| silver as Senator Blackburn, and
made his race against Clay on that
| issue. He was not, however, objection
able to many sound money delegates.
| FORD FOR STATE TREASURER.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 27.-In the
| Democratic State convention today,
Il. Il. Ford was nominated for State
Treasurer. Mrs. James Bennett, a
daughter of Cassius .Marius Clay, pre-
sented woman suffrage address,

The bureau of education is making
a compilation of the school laws of
various States. 1t will show that the
regulations as to appointment and
qualification of teachers and their
methods of teaching vary greatly in
the different sections of the country.
Difficulty has been met by the bureau
in obtaining the State statutes, and
in many cases they have been bought
outright from the States. The COM
pilation probably will be published
next autumn, and after publication il
the annual report of the commissioner
