 In days of antiquity in this beautiful grove grew a wonderful tree, round which 8 prowling figure, sword i'll hand, seemed 10 be constantly expectant of an attack from some enemy. Yet he was the priest of the grove, and. by the or der of his office, he would some day be killed by the claimant who wished to succeed him. To gain his position he had slain his predecessor, and, in course of time, must himself be slain. Such is brief context of Strabo's version The branches of the tree might not be bro- ken, except by runaway slave. This bough gave him the right to challenge the priest, and, if successful. to assume the title of liking of tho wood. .' Ira. dition tells that this was the bough which AGneas plucked before he jour neycd to the lower world.
 In tie familiar story from Ncrsr mythology of Balder tho Beautiful we recall tho facts that he first dreamed and had great foreboding of evil, yet he belonged neither to earth nor heaven. His fellow gods, anxious to protect him, took an oath from fire. air, earth and water, stones, trees and plants, sick nesses and poison, birds, creeping things and four footed beasts that they should not injure Balder.
 Being thus invulnerable, the gods amused themselves by throwing stones and logs at him. Then Loki, the nis chief makor, discovered that eas. of Walhalla grew the mistletoe that seemed too young and innocent to swear Pulling it, he placed q branch in blind Hodur's hands, who threw and struck Balder dead. Then his body was placed cn his great ship Ringhor, the funeral pyre was lit, his faithful wife, Nanna-whose tears had fallen on the fatal branch and been turned into pearly berries-and his warhorse were burned with him as the ship drifted away toward the northern sky edge
 Now, when we recall that the sacred sacrificial fires were kindled periodical ly, we can read plainly aEd clearly tho myth of Balder. He was the tree spirit. the beautiful sacred oak which could uot be injured CT wounded by the axes or weapons of mCrtals But the oak must be cut down for the sacred fire, and only in it's heart life-the mistletoe could 1t be wounded When it was plucked, the mighty tree tottered and fell.

In Full Blast.

The Charleston correspondent of the
Columbia Register says the first "orig
inal package store" for selling liquor
in this State under the provisions OF
the recent decision Of Judge Simonton
of the United States Court was opened
there Thursday. j. s. Pinkussohn, as
agent of a New York firm, imported
one thousand cases of liquor, via the
Clyde Line steamers. the goods were
hauled through the streets, and, with,
out being molested by the State con-
stables, we're lodged in a store room
on King street, the city's leading
thoroughfare. The establishment was
opened at once and began selling Ii
qlor in original packages. 1t contin-
ued business throughout the day with
out trouble. Within the next few
days several other similar establish.
ments will be opened here. All the
stuff sold today a in gallon packa'
ges, but in a short time packages con-
tanning pints and half plnts of liquor
will be placed on sale. Exactly what
action is TO be taken by the dispensary
authorities in this connection is not
yet known.

The Toad.

It's great value to the pomologist

ed, on account of its destroying in
sects, especially those injurious to
vegetation. We should. therefore,
cultivate its friendship and assistance
as well as that of birds. Every tidy
housewife detests the cockroach and
other vermin. Two or three domesti'
Gated loads will keep the coast clear OF
these. The toad is possessed of a tim
i'd aud retiring nature, loving dark
and shady places, but under kind
treatment becomes quite tame. Many
instance are cited of pet toads re.
naming several years in families and
doing valuable service. All that is
necessary to ecure their 20 cooperation,
indoor or out, is to provide them cool
and safe retreats by day, convenient
access to water, and they 60 forth to

duties without money and without

their aid are enabled to keep in check
the multiplication of the insect tribes
which prey upon their fruits, etc.

BY Explosion OF Fire Works.

A match carelsssly dropped by one
of the workmen in the fireworks fac
tory of M. Shure, at the corner of
West VanBuren and Halsted streets,
Chicago, caused a terrific explosion
Wednesday night. It was shortly at.
ter the closing time of the factory and
many of the workmen had gone home,
other wise the loss of life must have
been very heavy. As it was a number
of the employees were badly hurt and
the flying rockets and candles struck
several people who were passing on
street cars and on the sidewalks. The
force of the explosion was so great
that nearly all the windows in the
block were demolished, and the Shure
building, which is a four story struct-
ure was badly damaged. Immediately
following the explosion the building
was ablazs from cellar to roof and the
fire department had a desperate strug.
Gle before it succeeded in ext1nguish-
ing the flames. The building was al
most entirely destroyed by the fire,
however, and such portions of the
large stock of fire works as had not
been scattered throughout the neigh.
borhood by The explosion were des.
troyed, causing a heavy loss. The ex
plosion caused a wild panic in that
portion of the city for a time. The
streets were crowded with people 60.
ing to their homes and the street cars
which passed the front Of the building
every minute were packed with pas.
sengers. The flying missiles struck
a number OF people on the cars and
one man who was gazing into a store
window fully 400 yards distant had
his attention suddenly attracted to
other matters by a rocket which hit
him squarely in the back. He fell to
the sidewalk unconscious and was
carried to the hospital before he was
able to give his name. The majority
of those injured have received but
triding hurts and will be around with
in a day or two. The loss to the build.
ing and contents is estimated at $780,
600.

The Duty on Rice.

In the United States Senate on
Wednesday while the tariff bill was
under discussion on the rice paragraph
Allison, in charge of the bill, with.
drew the committee amendments re-
ducing the house rates, thus letting
the house rate stand. Mills moved to
strike out the entire rice paragraph
and substitute a new n placing a
uniform duty of 40 per cent. sd valo-
rem on all grades of rice. 1t was re-
,iacted, yeas 10, nays 40. Five demo

Five Hundred Perish.

Meagre particulars have reached
this county by late steamers of a. dis.
aster which bsfell the fisher nan Of
Chusan archipelago, off the coast of
China. Ga May 9th, when all, or at
least, most of the fishing boats were
out o a the fishing banks, a terrible
gale sprung up. OF the several hun
bred boats out at the time, very few
returned, and it is estimated that
some five hundred men lost their
lives. The storm was one of those
sudden ones for which the coast of
China is noted, and the fishermen had
no chance to seek shelter. Their
light boa.s were smashed to atoms
and they we're left to fight a hopeless
battle with the merciless waves. The
storm swept over the entirs archipela.

of Hanchow Bay on the eastern coast
of China. Several large junks were
lost, in which scores persisted.

Monks Roasted Alive,

Twenty five Catholic Monks were
recently roasted by the natives of the
Phillipian Islands, against whom
Spain is now conducting q merclless
war. In consequence of cruelties
practiced By the S panish troops on the
rebels or those suspected of being in
sympathy with the cause, the rebels In
revenge perpetrsted acts OF cruelty on
the helpless monks who came in their
clutches. The customary mode OF
roasting pigs in the island Is sticking
q bamboo to a pig and then fastening
it to an iron, roasting it over q slow
fire. This was done to the monks, the
bamboo being thrust through them
while they were alive.

considered the resolution of Senator
Tillnan concerning the South Carroll

An Original Package Store Opened.

The Charleston correspondent of the
Columbia Register says the first "orig.
nal package" establishment was open
ed in that city Wednesday, at the COR
ner of Meeting and Market Streets, by
WelIbrook Bros. The firm will only
sell a case as a whole, and will not
venture for the present to break a
case. The constabulary are well aware
that the Wellbrock Bros. had received
a stock of liquors, but say that they
do not intend to seize them as long as
the cases were not broken. The firm
are very careful and are feeling their
wav along. They will not sell half
pints until they are assured it is not
against the law. Wellbrock Bros. are
said to represent 8. Gugenheimer &
Co. Of Savannah. 1t is reported that
another Original package" store will
be opened on King street tomorrow.

rattlesnake knowing there was NO
whiskey within a hundred miles. Gcd
help us if the new evangelism is to
prevail" He expressed surprise al
Mr.. Bacon's statement that the cotton
manufacturer needed assistance. he
said it had generally been understood
that the cotton manufacturers were
exceptionally prosperous.
In conclusion MI. Vest said that he
had, as a Southern Democrat, always
pointed with pride to the fact that cot,
ton was admitted free of duty, as
showing the Democratic consistency
in supporting free raw materials.
Hence his disappointment that this
amendment should be proposed by a
Southern Senator, as it would justify
and open the way for a duty on wool
lumber and all other articles classed
as raw material. Indeed" he ex.
claimed, 1t leaves us naked, without
argument"
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas also opposed
the amendment, in an incisive speech.
He agreed with Mr.. Vest that the Re.
publicans would support the amend.
ment in the hope ofacreating dissen'
ton in the Democratic party, and ad,
ded that they would all support it for
the purpose of securing an excuse for
increased compensatory duties on cot
ton manufactures. He argued that
the small inportations could not affect
the price of the entire domestic crop,
and said that the duty would only add
to the price of cotton goods. Mr..
Jones said that the cotton growers
would not be misled and deceived by
a proposition so palpably thin as this.
MI. Bacon answered briefly that if

Mr.. Tillman, addressing his associates,
land at the little end you see the le-
gend, Tariff for revenue only in

In conclusion, the Senator said he
believed in securing for the South as
many benefits as possible. Hs arraign-
ed Republican Senators for the inc.
qualities of their legislation and for
Keeping Cuba under the heel Of
Weyler." They claimed, he said, to
be followers of Lincoln, ''but you are
unworthy to tie the shoe latches of
that great man." The Democratic
Senators claimed to be followers of
Jefferson, while they were abandon
ing Jeferson's cardinal principle Of
equal rights to the people.
After the Cannon amendment had
been further debated by Mr.. Allen of
Nebraska, Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Can.
non, a vote was taken on it.
The affirmative was given by Mes
srs Allen, Butler, Stewart, Harris and
Heitfeld, Populists; Cannon, Mantle

Roach and Tillman, Democrats. MI.
Tillman announced that his colleague,
Mr.. McLaurin, would have voted for
the amendment.
This closed the consideration of the
cereal paragraphs of the agricultural

OF the bill, asked that the further con.
