some of them are Of public record.
The letter covers four pages, but for
the present one or two short extracts
introduced here as "Exhibit B" will
suffice:

After these letters had been read
more than a year ago, they were
carclcssly thrown aside f; but when
MIR. Latimcr made his vicious attack
on the The Enquirer at Tirzah some
weeks back, they became of renewed
Importance, and it has required
tedious search to bring them to light
again. They contain some additional
facts that arc quite interesting, but
which, for the present, will keep as
well as the others would have kept
had Mr.. l.atimcr conducted himself
with becoming circumspcction at
Tirzah.
AS TO Mr.. Latimcr's claim that we
had no concern in this photograph
enlarging business, we beg to differ.
We are willing to conccdc his right
to sell pictures on the floor of the
House, AS Congressman from the
Third District he is not our direct
representative; but when he asks
for the privilege, as the representa-
tive of all the people in South Caro-
lima, to sell pictures to the Senators,
we insist upon our right to protest.

Getting Away From Land.

The question has been asked, Is it
possible to sail 1000 miles from land?
This can be done at several points. BY
leaving San francisco and sailing
porthwestward into the north Pacific a
spot is reached where there is no land,
not even an islet, for 1000 miles many
direction. So, too, sailing from the
southern point of Kamchatka south
eastward ships reach point equally
distant from land of any kind, the
nearest to the north being the Aleu-
tian Islands and to the south the
outlying members of the Sandwich
group. In the southern Indian ocean
1t is possible to sail 1000 miles out
from the southern points Of Australia
and New Zealand and still be as far
from any other land, and the same may
be done In westerly direction from
Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point
q much longer distance might be reach
ed, for the southern Pacific between
the Horn and New Zealand covers q
space of 80 degrees Of longitude and
40 of latitude of absolutely unbroken
sea. making Its central point over LOO
miles from anywhere.

Cloud Mountains.

The highest of all the clouds are
those delicate, white, fibrous, detached
masses of frozen vapor; always seem
high against the blue sky. The top
myst point of the highest of these may
be ten miles above the earth. They are
called cirrhus clouds. Altogether there
are ten principal types of clouds. The
lowest, known as the stratus, are really
horizontal sheets of lifted fog seen on
damp days or in very damp localities.
These clouds are only a few hundred
feet above the earth.
Some of the vast bodies of vapor are
higher than the tallest Of the Alps.
They are undoubtedly snow capped
veritable mountains Of ice and snow.
It has been discovered that the tenn
perature on one such summit was rs
degrees below zero.
Were 1t possible for us to ascend In a
balloon and penetrate one of these
snow capped peaks from base to sum-
NIT we should travel first through a
layer of dry air, vapor and water, a
third of freezing vapor, water and ice,
and finally through the summit COM
posed of dry air, vapor and Ice, but no

Queer turkish Fish.

April 10 is the great fete day OF "Ba-

small church situated outside the walls
Of Constantinople, and 1t enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con-
quest Of Constantinople by the Turks.
AT the time of the invasion. however n
monk was cooking some fish there
when messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered Constants.
nople. The monk did not believe tho
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. As he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had great
reputation for Its healing powers.
A church has been built over the
spring dedicated 10 "Our Lady of the
Fishes" and on this day regular pill
grimage takes place from all parts Of
the town. Many sick are carried thith-
er, and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth Of the story is proved
by the presence In largo marble lined
tank In the church of the iineal de-
scendants OF the half cooked fish, Any
one who does not believe has only to
look In the water and he will see them,

An Anecdote of GreeIex,

A call was once made by a dozen
noted artists of the Academy of De-
sign. in 1870, on Horace Greeley. Mr..
Clarence Cook. then the art critic Of
The Tribune, had been saying things
about the academy exhibition which
caused the venerable chiefs Of that es-
tablishment to boil with indignation.
One day committee went down to
The Tribune to complain Mr.. Greeley,
having listened In silence to what these
gentlemen had to say, looked up from
his desk, twinkle in his eye. and
said, with his peculiar nasal falsetto:
Gentlemen, ! Judge from your re-
marks that Mr.. Cooks articles are
widely read. They will therefore con-
tinue to be printed In The Tribune.
Good morning."
