Ravages Of the Black Death.

The beginnings of ,he black death
arose in China about the year 1888
with drought and famine in the great
river plains, which were followed by
foods so violent that 100000 people
perished. Great telluric couvulsions
occurred over the sam ~racts. The
mountain Tsincbeou feI, in and vast
clefts were formed, from which it is
said that noxious vapors ascend. Any
how food and famine were followed
next year by terrible plague, which
carried off 100000 of the wretched
Chinese, while in 1887 q still more
dreadful famine destroyed another
100000.

What She Was Charged With.

w Asst S4s w d. S1tGsSSU w 4VA.
About ten years ago I witnessed
an unusual occurrence in the circuit
court room at London, Ky. Judge
Robert Boyd was the presiding JUS
tice. One morning, shortly after the
court had opened, Andrew Jackson,
the foreman of the grand jury, ap-
peared before the judge in charge of
a woman, who, he stated, had re-
fused to testify before the grand
jury.
The Judge, with very polite bow,
said to the woman: MADAM, it is
your duty to tell anything you may
know about any violations of the law
10 this county, except, Of course, such
as may have taken place in your i'm
mediate family. It would be very
disagreeable to me to have to punish
you in any way, and T trust that you
will 60 at once and answer the ques-
tions that may be asked by the fore
man of the grand jury
I'LL be burned if I do," she said
with whitening look of scorn.
"Mr. Clerk. enter q fine of $40
against this woman" said the court.
"Now, madam, you 60 and testify to
this jury at once"
"You 90 to HI, you durned old
fool" the woman retorted.
"Mr. Sheriff, take her to JAIL
roared the Judge.
"And hain't I already in jail for
selling whiskey. and brought out of
Jail to testify?" she said, and with
an inimitable toss of her head she
passed out of the court room.
Being very fond of the Judge and
quite intimate with him, I arose and
said to him, as if I had not fully
gathered what was going on: MAY
I inquire of your honor what the
lady is charged with ?"
II don't know, sir; but I think she
is charged with dynamite" replied
the court with a look of evaporation.

ard essential to the moral an relig-
ious life of the iniividusl and to the
welfare of society and the church.
We take, as text for short sermon,
THE moral phase Of the political
campaign in South Carolina"
We bad hoped that the present po-
litical campaign would have contin-
ued and ended, as it had began, on
high plane, free from mud singing
and vituperation and offensive person
alities. In behalf of the sober,
thoughtful citizens and Christian
people OF our State, we enter our
protestagainst the mud singing busi-
ness in which some of our candidates
for Office are indulging. Personal
abuse, recriminatiop, charges and
countercharges by competing candi-
dates is mean snd pusilianimous. We
have had quite enough of that sort
of campaign mud in South Carolina.
It would be far better TO dispense
with the political campaign, if it's
only purpose is to afford an opportu-
nifty for a scramble for Office. A po-
litical campaign should be clean, fair,
honest, educating, conducted on a
high plane of discussion, iE which
the great issues before the people are
presented, not in way to stir up
strife or to appeal to the passion and
prejudice of men. but dispassionately
and intelligently. A man who does
not possess the ability to discuss in
telligently the principles embodied in
a political platform, is Intellectually
incapable of dischargiDg the duties Of
the Office which be seeks; and the man
who plays the role Of the political
mountebank and INDUCES "Billings-
gate" is morally unfit for any position
of public trust.
We note with pleasure that some
of the candidates scorn the use of
abusive language-and treat their
competitors with the utmost courtesy.
We take off our hats to these gentle.
men and thank them for their exam
pie of gentlemanly department and
manly independence in the political
arena.
