An Alabama Romance.

Some forty years ago young man OF
Calhoun county, Alabama, named W. II.
Allen, abandoned wife and children, fam.
lily and friends, and, with several hundred
dollars in gold, made his way to the far
west, in search of a better fortune than he
was obtaining in his native State. He
was traced as far as Missouri, but there
LOST. Some time ago there was published
in New York paper the story of a man
who had been confined in an asylum for
the insane in New York State for twenty
years, the victim of railroad accident.
He had been picked up, a stranger, in the
streets of New York city, and was cared
for by the authorities. After these twenty
years had elapsed, the man suddenly
regained his reason, told his name and
asserted that he had investments of prop.
erty in California An enquiry showed
that what he said was true that the prop
erty had risen in value until twas worth
several million dollars.-Rome Tribune.

Large Counties are the Best.

Edit0rS IntclligeRce1':: 1t looks surpris
ing and upaccountable TO me why the
people of Anderson and other towns can
lie supinely down and allow our legiSla-
tors to make fools and knaves Of them
selves to the utter ruin of the State without
raising hand to prevent it.
Are you aware that South Carolina Is
the richest, most prosperous and most
enterprising State south of Mason and
Dixon's line? That she manuactures
more cotton, runs more spindles and
looms, oil mills, phosphate works, etc {,
than any other Southern State? That she
has more banking capital, discounts,
deposits and ready money per capita, and
that she makes more cotton, corn, &C.,
both per capita and per acre than any other
State south Of the Delaware?
Now, these magnificent results are un-
doubtedly owing to large counties, with
every County site large and prosperous
city, with their immense cotton factories,
oil, lumber and other mile, DC, with
splendid graded schools, electric lights,
water works, &C.. where farmer can sell
anything from thousand bales of cotton
to dozen eggs, or buy anything from
car load of mules to jews harp.
South Carolina is DOW, owing to large
Counties, the Empire State" of the South.
Contrast her with Georgia-with her $50 or
more little precincts called Counties-and
what do you see? Instead of large flour
ishing cities in every County furnishing
good markets for farmers to sell or buy
anything they please, you will see $50 or
200 little cross roads hamlets, with not
man in them able to buy 60 bales of cotton
or sell 100 barrels Of flour.
The logical result Of this new County
scheme will be finally to cut four Counties
from Anderson. Now, take four.fifths of
its patronage from the city Of Anderson
leaving the same amount Of County taxes
and what will she become? Look al Old
Pendleton and reflect.
The most tyrennicsl, not to say fascally,
part of the whole new County scheme is
the sequestering of a portion of our County
and adding it to thejurisdiction of another
without the consent of the people inter-
ested. This is contrary to every prin ciple
of international law and justice, and il
done, the people Of Anderson should ap-
peal to the Courts in rotation, and that
falling, TO still higher tribunal.
The citizens of Anderson should not
delay q single day in raising two or three
hundred dollars and sending two or three
good and true men to Columbia to work
against this crazy and ruinous scheme.

A Half Million Steal.

LINCOLN, NEB., Feb. 27.-The ex-State
treasurer, Jos. BARLEY, is tonight nomi-
nally in the custody OF the sheriff with a
possibility of going to jail in the event of
his inability to secure bai.. Decisive &C.

The Missouri Supreme Court has rem
dered decision which opens to women
nearly all.the elective Office of the State.
The decision was made in the case of the
Stale against E. P. Hostetter, clerk of the
st. Clair county court. Mrs. Maggie D.
Wheeler was elected to succeed him. He
refused to surrender the office, on the
ground that women were ineligible to
hold Office. The State sued to oust him.
The Court holds that woman is eligible
to hold any elective Office in the State
which is net specifically barred against
her by statute. It developed in the trial
ofthe case that most OF the early statutes
specifically barring women from holding
Office have been so changed by amend
ment or repeal that there are now few
Offices in the State to which women may
not aspire.

Glass Swallowing.

I notice in the Baltimore Sun that a
man in your city processes to eat glass,
screws, knife blades and the like. The
Sun says that the medical faculty exam
ined the man and could not account for
his digestive power. Once, when hap
pened to be at Charleston, S. c., just such
q person was on exhibition. A prominent
dentist and his father-in-law, an eminent
physician, had warm dispute about the
man. The dentist declared that he had
examined the phenomenon and could not
account for his feats. He was, however,
satisfied that they were genuine. The
old doctor substantially said: "My son,
no man can take such things into his
stomach and live. am confident of that.
There is some trickery on his part and
delusion on yours" The dentist was not
convinced. lie had administered the glass
fragments and seen them disappear The
explanation, am informed, is this: The
performer is professional sword swal
lower. He conceals tube in his lower
throat and not a particle of glass enters
his stomach. This willprobably solve the
apparent mystery. once knew aJesuit
cholastic, from Switzerland, who SEEM
ingly swallowed glass, but I have no idea
that he really did so. All such startling
tricks are very simple when revealed

- Facts are stranger than fiction and
more easy to record. Frightened by a
blast in stone quarry near Atchison,
kas., a high-spirited horse attached to a
carriage containing woman das he'd
furiously down the street. The driver
sat pale and helpless in the vehicle, ex-
pecting to be dashed to death at any
moment. A workiDgman in the quarry
took in the situation, and at the risk of
his own life stopped the runaway horse
and saved the woman from being hurled
on the rocks and killed. The following
day the woman, who is in comfortable
circumstances, sent for the brave fellow
to bestow substantial reward upon him.
He responded to the summons and in the
interview which followed it developed
that the two were brother and sister.
Separated by the death of their parents
many years ago in Switzerland, and COM
mitted to different charitable institutions,
they had both finally drifted to this coun-
