Gems and Disease.

Many curious stories Of the healing
Of blindness and diseases by gems are
to be found in ancient works, and it is
said that the Emperor Theodosius was
cured Of blindness by a stone Of great
brilliancy which was laid on his eyes.
What this stone was history unfortu-
nately does not say. The diamond,
ruby, emerald and opal were supposed
to warn the owner Of danger by chang
ing color. Pliny says Of the diamond
that it is not only an antidote to poi
son, but that it has the power to free
the mind from vain fears and to give
bravery. Worn in the ephod Of the
high priest it determined innocence or
guilt and was used to detect accused
persons. This gem is dedicated to
April and, worn by those born in that
month, is lucky.-Myerson's Magazine.

Another Bullet Found.

Last week Magistrate W. r. Wright
and DR.. c. E. Kinsey went to Charleston
and had the body of Willie Cutter disin
TERED. He is the young man who was
recently killed at Midway by two negroes
The body was buried at Magnolia GENE
tery in Charleston. Another bullet was
found in the body. 1t had taken effect
in the left arm, gone through it and
striking a rib, had gone round IN the
back. The bullet was cut out of the body
and is now in the custody of the officers
Isaiah BARLEY, who has been confined
in Jail since the killing, was released on
bond one day last week. A motion fol-
bail was made before Judge Watts and
bail was granted in the sum OF $4,000
Mr.. ]. D. Copeland and the negro's father
signed the bond.
There is a general belief that BARLEY
is the party who shot Cutter. The testi-
mony of the eyewitness is that they
could not say who did the shooting, but
that BARLEY cursed Cutter and that
Anderson told him to come on and let the
white man alone. It is also said that
Anderson did not own pistol but BARLEY
did. However, Anderson is likely to be
captured, and it is to be noped that he
will be caught and both negroes tried for
the killing.

AN HOURS WALK.
You Would Hardly Think 1t Mean$
Travelling SS,253 Miles.

Have you ever thought OF the dis
tance you travel when you are out On
an hours stroll? Possibly you wall.
three miles within the hour, but that
does not by any means represent the
distance you travel. The earth turns
on it's axis every twenty-four hours.
For the sake of round figures, we will
call the earth's circumference $4,000
miles, and so you must have travelled
during the hours stroll 1000 miles in
the axial turn of the earth.
But this is not all. The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and a long but rapid trip it is. The dis
tance of our planet from the sun we
will put at 100000 miles. This Is
the radius Of the earth's orbit-half the
diameter of the circle, as we call 1t.
The whole diameter Is therefore 1884,
100000 miles, and the circumference,
being the diameter multiplied by
3.1416, is about 57s,0OO,0OO.
This amazing distance the earth tray-
els in it's yearly journey, and dividing
it by 365 we find the daily speed about
1,5S6,OOO. Then we get the distance
you rode around the sun during your
hours walk, divide again by twenty
four, and the result is about $4,000
miles. But this is not the end OF your
hours trip. The sun, with It's entire
brood Of planets, Is moving in space at
the rate Of 16O,OOO,0O0 miles in a year.
That is at the rate Of little more than
4ss,OOO miles a day, or 1s,250 miles an
hour.
So, adding your three miles OF leg
travel to the hours axial movement OF
the earth, this to the earth's orbital
Journey and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
YOU have travelled in the hour 85,253
miles.

If San Francisco is wiped out the Con

the matter to q successful conclusion. II

raised about $500 in cash. Several hun
dred more was subscribed and it is now
nroposed to collect these subscriptions
and raise enough money by additional
subscriptions to build the monument.
A few weeks ago city council issued
instructions to the policemen to notify
ali parties who had gates opening on the
sidewalks of the town that this was
against the law and they must be changed
We know that the policemen notified a
number of people, and yet very few gates
have been changed. We changed oul
oates and we think other people should
be compelled to comply with the law
Very little attention has been paid to the
orders of council, but if few 7lolators
were brought before council and lined
there would be change.
