The whole State OF South Carolina Is
at this time stirred by the crusade of
pulpit and press against "lawlessness
and disorder" Our readers must have
noted it. With keen relish we observe
that it is having profound effect
The time is rapidly approaching when
the laws must be observed by man and
beast, AS conclusive proof we point
with pride to the following editorial
from our esteemed contemporary, the
Summerville, Is. C) News:
"Pnblic attention was recently cslled
to the fact that goats and pigs were
running at large In the town, contrary
to one of the ordinances. Since that
time the Chief Marshal has, in the
proper discharge OF his duty, under
taken to have several goats looked up,
and it Is to be presumed that the owner
has been fined.
"rhis action of The chief has, we are
told, been harshly criticised in some
quarters, on what grounds we fail tC
understand. We hope that the chief
will continue to see that this, with
every Other, ordinance of the town is
enforced to the letter. The dieregard
of laws and ordinances In South Caro-
Una mas brought about condition Of

are taught that laws are made to be
enforced and not to be broken. The
running st large of one or two goats il
the streets is In itself very trifline
matter, but the fact tbat it is q direc,

an offense against law and order in th,

FARM FOR SEA GULLs.

Scheme of am old WhaIer Who Says
 He Knows the Birds.
 The thousands of sea gulls which have been making themselves at home in the eastern part of Portland, Ore, and on the water front for the past month or more show no signs of re- turning to their accustomed haunts along the coast, says the Portland Ore gonian.
 An old retired whaler who lives by the Ladd tract, where the gulls most do congregate to hunt for earthworms, etc., has an idea of capturing and con- fning lot of them and keeping them to produce eggs for. market. He has visited the arctic regions on both this coast and the east Coast and has seen whole schooner loads of eggs of gulls and other seagoing birds gathered about Labrador, in the Farallone islands and on the coast of Alaska and sent to mar ket. He has many time feasted on omelet of gulls' eggs, which find ready sale in many markets. He says they are not so delicate as hens eggs, hav- ing slight Hnge of a fishy taste, but they are wholesome and nutritious and are much better than no eggs at all, which of late has formed part of his breakfast very often. He believes that if the gulls were kept at Portland in confinement awhile and properly fed their eggs would be as good as hens eggs and much larger.
 Gulls are great producers of eggs, as he has seen miles of land and rocks covered with them. He proposes to fence in piece of land along slough, including a section of the slough, and to confine there as many gulls as he can procure and imagines that in lit tie while they will become tame and can be treated the same as barnyar fowls

DONKEY ENGRAVED ON BILL
Government Note of 1880 Supple
 ments American Eagle.

Government Note of 1880 Supple
 ments, American Eagle.
 Though it may not be generally known, a revelation unearthed at Los Angeles, Gal, shows that for the past twenty three years the honors of being the emblem of the United States have been divided between an eagle and a donkey, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 This unexpected discovery may come as shock to those who, above all things, hold the emblem of their coun- try sacred, but ten dollar bill circu- lating in Los Angeles and bearing the engraving of an American eagle and another bird, sometimes called Rocky mountain canary, proves beyond the shadow of doubt that an undignified practical joke has been played in the engraving department at Washington.
 The bill was issued In the year 1880, during which time an Englishman was fin charge of the engraving department. Whether the Britisher was one of that type that still hold grievance against the United States or whether he was one who endeavored to show that a Britisher has a questionable sense of
 
 humor is not known, but all the curren- cy that left the department while this gentleman was in charge bore the un- patriotic picture.
 The currency had been in circulation for perhaps year when the objection able donkey was noticed by the depart ment and called in. Within twelve months after the currency was tabooed every bill was accounted for with tRe exception of one. Bill No. A. 35,379, 766 could not be located until the other day, when it came into the possession of A. O. Craig, resident of Los Angeles.@ @
 MT. Craig noticed the bill was unlike the money now in circulation and upon reviewing the eagle that is engraved upon the back found large mule with white nose and Tapping ears.
 Though the foremost characteristic of the ignoble beast is similar to that of the average American in that neither will be driven to do what they dislike, still it is doubtful if the designer i'm proved upon the original idea of hav- ing the eagle on the money.

 The Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the new chaplain of the senate, is eighty four years old. A day or two after he began his duties he went into Senator Hoar's committee room, says the New York World. The senator was not there, but his clerk was. MT. Hale walked around the room and looked at the pictures. Then he turned to the clerk and said:

 ''Well,'' said the clerk, most of them are pretty old, are they not?"
 "Oldv snorted MT. Hale. T should think noti There's Senator Pettlfs of Alabama, who is eighty-three and has reached mature years, but the rest of them are young fellows so far as I can see"

 "The church needs men fit to be pres idents of railroads declared Rev. Dr.. Lloyd of New York, addressing the sixth missionary district at Kansas City the other day, says the Chicago Record Herald
 t.The reason" he continued, "that the men with the most manhood do not offer themselves for the priesthood nowadays is because the calling has been belittled by misrepresentation. If in ten boys one is delicate, that one will be the future priest. Why? Be acause he has had time to think and re- fleet.

Gibbs, according to his statement, began his fifty ninth trip to Europe and, notwithstanding that he looked hale and hearty, took with him a coffin for bis personal use, Gibbs created worldwide gossip four years ago when he appeared aboard ship with copper casket bound for Europe. It was expensively made and lined with white silk. He has made eight trips abroad with it. Gibbs has instructed the crew to put him in the casket should he die, dramatically seal it and send his body home to be ere mated.

A M1dwinter Message.

A Midwfnter Message. The snow lies deep on field and hill; The trees are stark and bare: No longer turns the busy mill: There's silence everywhere. Cold blows the wind o'er moor and fen From clouds of ashen gray; No stir or sound of beasts or men, No bird song bithe and gay. Will nature never wake from sleep? Can earth be bright again? Listen! Beneath the snow so deep hear a sweet refrain. The brooklet hastening on its way Down to the sounding sea. Beneath the ice I hear 1t say. Lift up your hearts with Slee" This very death means nearer life; Soon will the south wind sweet Blow warmly with faint odors rife, And spring with dancing feet Will come tho saddened earth to lsisa And waken into bloom, To change our woe to heavily bliss. To joy our present gloom.
