..JIMu TILLMAN DYING.

A dispatch from Ashevillc says that
James Fl. Tillman, formerly lieutenant
governor OF South Carolina, has been
brought to the North Carolina health
resort from his home in Edgefield, S.
c., in an apparently dying condition.
The nephew OF Senator Tillman is suf-
fering from tuberculosis and it is feared
by his family and friends that he has
little chance OF recovery.
We were talking the other day with
gentleman from South Carolina who
mentioned this case. He said that
Jim" Tilman had been in "a decline"
ever since the killing of Editor Con
zales, of the Columbia State. At that
time, our informant told us, there was
hardly finer-looking or more intel
ligent and attractive man in all South
Carolina than the lieutenant governor,
who might have continued brilliant
career, but for the staining of his hands
with blood. The killing Of Mr.. Con
zales probably killed the slayer also,
and it certainly blighted his life

Tho Ever Active Brain.

The question. Does the brain ever
rest?" would seem to be answerable
only in the negative. Unconscious
cerebration appears to be a necessary
concomitant Of the powers Of intellect,
and during sleep. whether we remem-
Der it or not, we are always dream
Ing; OF course, during waking time
we are perpetually thinking, thinking,
thinking-not always logically and de-
liberately, but. all the same, thinking.
Dream is the thought Of the sleep
time, when reason is out of the game,
and the fancy. or imagination, has the
reins, with nothing to hold her back.
We take many trip under her guild
ance that we are unable to recall when
she has resigned the reins into the
hands Of reason. Awake or asleep, we
are always busy. The mind never
rests.-New York American.
