FLIRTING WITH POLITICS.
Duke of Marlborough to Appear In n
New Role.

The Duke of Marlborough is about to
appear in a new role. There will occur
at Blenheim Palace, the dukes seat at
Woodstock, oxford, August 10. one of
the largest political demonstrations Of
recent times. Its object is TO celebrate
the third unionist victory in the cleo
tions. Three thousand delegates from
the conservative and liberal unionist as
sOciations throughout the country will be
present while the gathering will number
In all about 1000. Mr.. Balfour and Mr..
Chamberlain will make addresses, and the
Duke of Marlborough will preside. The
Duchess of Marlborough will entertain this
great throng at luncheon in huge tent
especially erected upon the historic
grounds. All the unionist members of the
house of commons have been invited. The
palace will be opened for public inspection
and. in fact. Blenheim will be en- fete as
1t has not been for many years A dis
tinguished house party will follow sew
eral of the most prominent persons pres
ent remaining to the end of the week
Among the features of the fete will he a
recital upon the celebrated organ in the
long library. boating upon the lake and
the rendering Of band music during the
entire day.
The Duke of Marlborough said to a rep-
resentative OF the Associated Press:
NO significance is attached to this fete
so far as am concerned; / did something
similar i've years ago, only on much
smaller scale. / thought this would be
good for the unionist party effectively
prove It's cohesion and the concord which
prevails In the party. and also give the
leaders a chance of personally thanking
their agents and workers: so / asked them
all TO come to Blenhein''
The Duke of Marlborough Is not going
TO the United States, and has not the
faintest idea of succeeding Lord Minto as
governor general of Canada: he character
iZed both reports as utterly unfounded.

PRESERVE THE PARKS,
The Government Should Buy Private
Land for Public buildings.

Land for Public Dundings.
From the New York Tribune.
1t was an unwise generosity on the part
Of New York when the southern part of
the City Hall Park was surrendered to the
national government for the site of the
building which contains the post office ana
the federal courts. 1t is true that the To-
ca ton OF the old post office in the sham
bling and hideous structure which was set
up in Nassau street, where the Dutch
Church formerly stood and where the fine
building Of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company now gratifies the eye, was not a
suitable place. and II is true also that the
Immediate vicinity of our city hall is the
proper situation for the headquarters of
our mall service. But the country was
rich enough at the time when 1t was de-
cided to abandon the Dutch Church prop
erty to buy whole block from private
owners in Park row or in Broadway, and
to raise a stately I.ile which would be gen.
orally praised as creditable to the nation
and an impressive example of architecture
as applied to public buildings Not a foot
of the charming, picturesque and precious
area of the City Hall Park should have
been sacrificed. Before any part of il was
given up 1t was too small Every inch OF
1t should have been preserved for park
purposes.
Had the entire territory of the park as it
appeared ir - lies and in earlier years
been reserved forever, as it should have
been, how much more attractive would
have been the visa from the front Of the
city hall, and how much better off would
the people of New York be now. Before
the Washington department was permitted
ito occupy large part of the park space
this was a delightful relief and breathing
place in the roaring current of Broadway
trade New Workers should have cherished
Battery Park. the Bowling Green and City
Hall Park in their entirety with fond af-
fection. and should never have permitted
any encroachments upon them by elevated
railroads or by large buildings in addition
to the well proportioned city hall. In con-
venience OF approach to the Brooklyn
bridge. In opportunities for crossing from
Church street to Park row, In many ad-
vantages and qualifications. Manhattan
could rejoice in these days II the City Hail
Park as 1t was in the old days had been
kept secure from spoliation. The federal
building is not majestic or impressive. not
a fine example Of architecture. Mail street
is by no means satisfactory roadway. IL
was a sad blunder when New York's birth
right in the lower part OF the old park
was sold for a mess of pottage. But the
error Is not likely ever to be repaired

A correspondent inquiries whether lemons
possess the virtues that are so frequently
ascribed to them. What science has to say
in reply is that the fruit is anti-scorbutic
in its nature, and that its employment as
preventive of scurvy is Illustrated In the
familiar use Of lime juice, product practi-
cally the same as lemon juice The lemon
contains various acids. citric acid among
them, with citrate Of potash, and these
acids oxidize in the blood into carbonates
Of potash and carbonic acid AS scurvy is
believed to be due to lack Of potash salts

lemons. potatoes and fresh vegetables gen.

OVERRIDING Specialization.

There are too many who advise young

Of applied science to be purely practical"
In preparations-to learn one thing very
thoroughly and neglect everything not
bearing directly on the professional work
they intend to do. This view of the course
essential to success, in the case of cleo

Electrical Review has no use whatever for
the risidly specialized education which
produces men with an exact knowledge of
particular branch of applied science, but
without Information on other matters and

o men of the pencil and pen, amid
your unappreciated work you need en-
couragement, and you can have it.
Printers of all ChriStendOm, editors, re-
pOrters, cOmpOsitOrs, pressmen, pub
fishers and readers of that which is
printed, resolve that you will not write,
set up, edit, issue or read anything that
debaseS body, mind or soul. In the
name of God, by the laying on of the
hands of faith and prayer, Ordain the
printing press for Righteousness and
liberty and salvation. All of US with
some influence that will help in the
right direction, let us put our hands to
the work, imploring God to hasten the
contamination. In a ship with hun
dreds of passengers approaching the
South American coast the man on the
lookout neglected his work, and in a
few minutes the ship would have been
dashed to ruin on the rocks. But a
cricket on board the vessel that had
made no sound all the voyage set up a
shrill call at the smell of land, and the
captain, knowing that habit of the in
sect, stopped the vessel in time to
nificant means now may do wonders,
and the scratch of n pen may save the
shipWreck of n soul.
Are you all ready for the signing of
the contract. the league, the solemn
treaty proposed between journalism
and evangelism? Let it be Il Christian
marriage of the pulpit and the printing
press. The ordination of the former on
my head, the pen of the latter in my
hand, it is appropriate that l publish
the banns of such a marriage. Let
them from this day be one in the mag
nifcent work of the worlds redemp-
ton.
Let thrones and powers and kingdoms be
Obedient, mighty God to thee,
And over land and stream and main
Now the scepter of thy reign.
Oh, let that glorious anthem swell,
Let host to host the triumph tell,
Till rebel heart remains,
But over all the Saviour reigns

Christianity was called upon to give
an illustration of the sacred Scripture,
BLESSED are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God"
"You say that it is hard to worship a
God who cannot be SEEN" said he,
land that you have no inward evidence
of his actually. A mirror from which
all the quicksilver had dropped away

find no trace of the objects placed be

Negroes Among the Creeks.

Of the 10000 people belonging to the
Greek Nation, according to the latest
report, no less than 5000 are negroes.
These negroes are among the most pro-
gressive members of the tribe and are
said almost to control its policy in i'm
portant matters. So influential, in fact,
are the former slaves of the Greek Ma
ton that one of the most prominent of
its head chiefs was L. G. Perryman, a
man Of negro descent and appearance.

TILLMAN'S SUCCESS.
Has the Pension Bill Passed That
He Had Long Worked For.

Senator Tillman is happy, says the
Washington Post The pension bill in
which he was interested has been signed
by the president.
A few days ago Mr. Tillman swore be
fore Almighty God that he would not let
any pension bill pass the senate until his
own particular measure had been acted
upon. He had constituent down in
South Carolina, named jim Thomas, who
fought in the Mexican war. He was 4
brave man, beyond doubt, for he climb
ed the hill of Chapultepec and helped to
pull down the Mexican colors and raise
the American flag. In another battle lie
had his arm shot off. He got his pen
sion, but having in 1861 given aid and
comfort to the Confederate cause, his
allowance was cut off. The senate agreed
to repension him, but the house held up
the bill. That is, the holding up process
lasted until Mr. Tillman delivered his
ultimatum, and then the bill wS passed.
Now pension bills go through the senate
as if they were creased.
It sometimes pays, says Mr.. Tillman,
to show your teeth.
But the end is not yet, for the passage
of the bill is virtually a repeal of the law
which disbars Mexican veteran from
receiving pension because he sympa-
thized with the Confederate cause. And
there are thousands of these old veterans
in the South.

Mr.. c. W. Jaques and Miss Lula Gruber
were married. The contracting parties
are well known in the county.
The increase of the pension fund by
the recent legislature is we'll received in
this county. There are a good many
needy Ex-Confederate soldiers and the
money spent in this way is for worthy
purpose.
There is increased interest in this
county in the South Carolina.Inter-State
and West Indian Exposition, which
opens in Charleston the 1st of next De-
cember. Business men think it great
thing and it is to be hoped that definite
action will soon be taken to secure an
exhibit of Colleton county's resources at
the Exposition. Everyone should work
together to have Colleton fall in line
with the progressive counties of the State
Organized effort on the part of those
interested should be made at once.
