THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

A Weil-known Editor Pays a Warm
Tribute to MIR. Joseph w. Sarnwel!.
From the NerOerry Herald and Ne'es.)
We heard while in the city, and
then we have observed in the
newspapers, that Charleston is to
have a candidate for Congress from
her district. We have wondered
many times why Charleston was
so generous as to let Beaufort
have the Congressman for so long
when she had the votes and a
large proportion of the interest.
We have no doubt Col. Elliott has
made good Congressman, but he
could not have the interest in
Charlestan that one OF her own
would have. 1t is stated that
State Senator Jos. w. Barnwell IS
70 enter the race, and If he does
we have no doubt he will be elect
ed. He is very useful member
Of the State Senate and is law
yer of ability. If elected to Con-
gress he will make valuable
member OF that body, for he is
able, faithful to every trust, and
conscientious and fearless in the
discharge of duty and the advoca-
cy Of what he believes TO be right.
We hope he will be elected.

1t is generally used as an argu-
ment against rotation in the mat
ter of congressional representation
that a man is never able to obtain
influence or accomplish anything
uutil he has been in congress sew
eral wears. We think that If
pushed we might name one or two
who have done good work in their
first year, but that's no argument
in favor Of changing them.

An Interesting Discovery.

Al interesting discovery has reward ed the researches Of officials at Hamp- ton Court palace, London. There has always lurked a suspicion that the walls of the famous Queen Anne's drawing room. which is in the center of the east wing of Wren's famous building, contained more than the sec- ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was it supposed than an im- portant work by that once famous dec- orative artist, Verrio, had been con- cealed from the public eye since 1735, owing to stupendous act of vandal, ism, which, 1t is presumed, was car- ried out by Queen Caroline in 1735. probably to prevent the apothesis of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became queen. The date is known by the ex4 traordinary act of the paper hanger of that time, who, In covering up Verrio's work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging. In taking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were intended for Ken sington palace, it was noticed by an official that the top right hand corner closed to the ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the general scheme of the beautiful ceiling, which everyone had seen and admired, and which repre- sented Queen Anne in the chariot of Justice. dressed in purple lined with ermine. Over her head Is a crown, held by Neptune and Britannia, while surrounding and floating in the clouds are various allegorical figures repre- senting Peace and Plenty, etc. The discovery now made shows that the whole of the walls were originally painted by Verrio in the same manner. the subject being Queen Annes apotheosis as Queen of the Sea in the four great quarters of the glote.

HIS CRAVE NEGLECTED.
The Resting p.ace of Charles Dickens Is
 Virtually Unmarked.

From the London Mail: The sugges. ton has been made that a monument to Charles Dickens should be erected in one of the public places of this city It is not at all likely that the proposal, however warmly 1t might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of perpetuatioa would be in direct op- position to the expressed wish Of the novelist. who desired by his work alone to live in the heart of his countrymen The will of Charles Dickens, from which the following lines are taken, very clearly expressed the masters wishes; T conjure my friends, on no account, to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial whatever. I rest my claims to the re membranee of my country upon my published works and to the remem- brance of my friends upon their ex perience of me in addition thereto" ]" To this wish the members of the fami ly have always given the strongest adherence and have already diseoun. te0dHceQ ana Will cOulluue lO ulScouF- age any attempt to set the provision of the will at naught. Some years ago Edwin Elwell gifted American seulp- tor, completed in marble full-lergtb portrait figure of the novelist, with Little Nell looking upward to the face of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family, who, out Of respect to the wishes of the novelist, refused to countenance the movement, the offer was declined. In these cir cumstances it is hardly probable that any memorial, at least of public char aeter, will be attempted.

How Glass Affects Bacteria

The extreme delicacy of many sci entific processes is indicated by the report of Dr. Martin Flicker, Ger man investigator, that bacteria are af- fected favorably, or otherwise, by the character of the glass containing the water in which they are suspended. Marked differences in the behavior of cholera germs were noted, according vessels used. The degree of alkalinity imparted by the glass to the water is believed to be an important factor in these experiments.

BOAT DRILL IS TERRIFYING.
Performance Aboard ship That Always
 scares the Passengers

boat drill is an interesting per formance when one sees 1t for the first time, provided he knows that it is com ing; but it's tefrors are real for those who do not expect it nor understand what it means. ssFha second day out, while I was sitting calmly on deck said ! woman who crossed the ocean this summer, q heard the bell ring yio- iently and continuously. Looking around, I saw two able seamea drag ging a heavy hose and in anotH r sec ond the water was turned on full force. Then the crew began to appear on every hand and to tear about in the widest way Meanwhile the bell con- tinued to ring and the captain stood on the bridge giving orders. wondered if l had time to go for my pocketbook or for life-preserver. I did regret that l had not read more carefully the di- rections for putting on the life-pre- server. Meanwhile I tried to find out how near death we were, and just what was the cause of our doom, but the men to whom appealed were as much u ti.aA4k5ACu UT dS lS4CIduI dS l. l eS, tAe ships on fire,' answered one. An other said he didn't know whether there was fire in the hold or whether something had broken about the en- zine. The crew was busy getting the lifeboats over and hadn't time to an- swer any questions. I saw two women crying and clinging to their husbands, and one woman was about to leap overheard when she was restrained by man in white coat and apron, who, l think, was cooks boy. The cooks boy told me at last that it was drill to test the men. Don't try to eneour- age me- I protested; T would rather know the worst It must have been over in five minutes, but learned in that time to feel what it meant to be sure of death at sea. I asked the cap- tain why he didn't warn the passen- gers of what was coming. Because the men would know, too,' he replied, and wouldn't find out then how many men slept on duty.'"

Feudalism in Hungary.

Inconceivable as the anaehronism may seem to the western mind, the agrarian system of Hungary has not yet issued from the feudal form. The Hungarian farmer of today is virtually a serf, bound to his master, the hered- itary owner of the soil which the peas ant tills, by the tangible tie Of per sonal liability. The Hungarian feudal lord of today is entitled to fifty days labor from each male adult who dwells on his land. The seignior iS at liberty to demand this feudal contribution at whatever time may seem best to him, with the frequent result that the ten ant farmer is employed in gathering his masters harvests while his own crops are rotting after rainfall or are being consumed by an early frost or suffer damage from one or more of the many possible causes which ren. der destructive the slightest delay on the part of the harvester in gathering the fruits of years labor.-s.

Process of Getting the Fruit In Shape
 for Shipment.

for Shipment.
 The gang moves in a bunch, clip ping off the translucent clusters of muscatels, arranging them uLon the trays to shrink and shrivel under the rays of the sun into the concentrated delicaey we know. Behind them the lines of trays lie, basking array of shimmering fruit, and some one inter- ested is showing the clusters together, that the tray shall be honestly filled. for the workers are paid by the tray. After two weeks exposure in the dry heat the Ii. ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men, one on either side, placing an empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing it, then. carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. 1t is at this stage in the curing that the grape is most delectable. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst. and the sun- warmed balls are drops of honey-double distilled, so sweet they make you long with a great thirst for the red water tank shimmering in the sunlight fC ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on eating even while your palate is eloying with the sweetness. In another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con- tain from 150 to 160 pounds, and as the raisins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from the others and placed therein, the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried to sweating house, a closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly, the drying having made the stems ex- ceedingly brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the packiug-hou to await the grading and packing.--Land of Sunshine.
