A Palfcetlo Traea of tha Waa Bo tneea the States. RoralllnK the historic Incidents clna terliiK about South Carolina's execu tive mansion. Mm. Tuaddeus Borton writes In Tlie Ladles' Home Journal of tu shocking tragedy that occurred there toward the close of the war. Thla was the death of the daughter of Gov ernor Pickens immediately after her niarrluge to Lieutenant Le IloeheUe. "On the afternoon preceding the even ing of the marriage the northern army began shelling Columbia, but prepara tions for the wedding continued. "Finally the guests were all assem bled, and the clergyman was proceed ing with the solemn ceremony and bad Just joined the right hands of the hap py pair when suddenly there waa an awful crash, and a ball from the ene my's cannon penetrated the mansion and burst 4n the middle of the mar-riao-e chamber, scattering Its death dealing missiles In every direction. There were screams and a heartrend- , Ing groan, mirrors crashed, the bouse shook, womeu fainted and walls rock ed to and fro. "When the first confusion was over, It was discovered that In all the crowd only one person waa Injured, and that was the bride herself. She lay partly on the floor and partly In liw lover'a arms, crushed and bleeding, pale, but very beautiful, her bridal gown drench ed with warm blood and a great cut In her breast Laying her on a lounge, the frantic bridegroom -besought her by every term of tenderness and endearment to allow the ceremony to proceed, to which she weakly gave consent, and, lying like a erushad flower a) leas white than the oamoiuas or nor onaai bouauet. her bnatlt coming' In short gasps and the Mood flowing from this great, angry wound, sua nvunnnrea yea' to the clergyman and reoatved her husbnnd's first kiss.

Whera Thoaa loll br IH straat Fakirs Are Proeare. Snonzea sold by the street fakir are rather captivating In appearance. Urge and almost white, and the price ranges from BJo 10 cents each. People who have bought sponges at a drug store know that no such looking articles can be got there for so little, money, and so they Invest But they don't Invest more than once, because ine sponge soon .falls to pieces, whereas a good sponge will last far years. Somebody started a story years ago that the reason the fakirs could sell these sponges so cheaply was because they bought them from the nosptraia, and there are some people who still ps- lieve tt. As If men devoting au tnetr energies and skill to ameliorating tba Ilia of mankind would spread disease br distributing old and possibly germ Infected snonaes. Aa a matter er race auraeona sponges are small and smooth aa velvet being close grained. Tba fakirs' sponges are tba cllpplnga off the big sponges sold to liverymen and others who need large sponges. The parts cut away bare little body and would soon tear loose, - The raKirs bnv these bits, trim tbem Into shape and then give them a bath ta uuatsa muriatic acid.- After lying there for 13 hours they , are taken out and washed in clear water and dried, xnxy bleached. In other words, but at still further detriment to the sponge.1 Rev- ar of rtoaa texture, the mesh M mi more rotten by the acid, and that It why they soon fall apart But so far aa disease la concerned they ire aa pore aa any sponge bought In the finest drag stores-Chicago Tribune. ;. v ;.. .

We certainly have not much time to spare nowadays, even to reflect on what the rush and hurry ana dusuo oi modern life are coatleg ns. Now and again, however, there U borne In upon us the sad realisation or ine lossea we sustain as we tear and ecramuis through what we now call life. And is not one of these the power of establish- lns:loee friendships? It Is a aad reflection, nut ine more we think of It the truer we shall find It to be, that we no longer have time to knit together those bonds of true friendship and affection which Donna our predecessors together and made lira aweet to them. We are always in a hurry, rushing here and there, we meet and snow many people In crowds and yet never have time to understand them, to give them or gain from them sympathy. Wa can scarcely spar an hour that 1 un connected with soma form of enter tainment or soma business matter to thnaa wa call our ckwaat friends. Letter writing has been reaucea to Its least common denominator aa time presses oa as heavily, and we have no pursuits that wa can share with our so called friends that enabla US to study each other's characters.

Before the meetln closed It was resolved to buy two more palis and another ladder and that tba company should be uniformed. Jericho woke right up. Heal estate began to Jump, Tom Blgelow put down lx rods of new sidewalk, and Homer Lee repainted bU barn and put new hinges on bis gate. People who came over from Dob Da Ferry and witnessed the specrit of enterprise went home Jealous of the town, end a llghtntn rod man said that the bustlln reminded him of the early days of Kansas City and Denver. It wasnt a week before the Wldder Taylor's smokehouse got afire at midnight, and PNeg Beott runs the alarm bell In a way to turn the hull town bottom aide ap la Ave mlnlts. That Ore company went at that conflagratlpB to conker or die, and In 17 mluiu tha red tongned names of destruction had bin doused out and Jericho was safe, in a IsetU speech wblch follered the Are Squar Denver said that Roma In her palmiest days never equaled tba occasion, and Ph0 tna Johnson declared that the thanks 0d eangress would be apoor reward fur such heroism.

During a recent ceremony to St Pe ter, Rome, one of the crystal chande liers suspended from the celling began to creak, ominously, and tha people be neath It hastily scattered. In a mo meat the mis fell and was dashed In to a thousand pieces on the floor below. In Bt Peter's a few days before when the workmen were suspending these chandeliers they were taking tbem out of piles of numbered boxes, for Bt Pa ter's, like a theater, has many "proper ties" and la decked In a different man ner for its different ceremonial. Cords run ever pulleys fastened far ap aloft and with these the chande liers were hoisted to their place. Bt Peter's Is so enormoua that the eye there ta continually aWcelred. Tha chubby cherubs at the boty Water font, leek to be the stke of ordinary babies, yet they are aaB4y ear fast talL and a man ata-rdtog bteode tbem look Ilk a dwart When the workmen were hoisting thee cbaadellarf from tba door, a traveler noted wish amasement that tba masse of crystal were over eight feet high. Yet when hoisted to their place f ar np to the dim helghta they looked about the ate of a man's bead. Workmen In St Peter1 are called "asnpletrlnL" They take their' name from the basilica "San Ptetro" "san pletrmo," plural "ssnpletrlni" They have a set of lofty scaffold mounted on rollers. These they move from pUce to place about tba vast church. They are not unlike our Are departments' water' towers. - Ladder after Udder run up th scaffolding, and by their aid they reach place from 100 to 160 feet above the floor. Other Ingenious scaffoldings are used for work on the Inside of the dome. . Been up there the "sanptetrlnl" look like file crawling on the celling.

The Irish peasant la still, thank heaven, what Sir Walter Scott called blm after the visit of th great novelist to Ireland in the early thirties-he Is still "the gayest fellow to the world under dlfflcultte and afflictions.'' He baa a cheerful way of regarding cir cumstance which to other would be most unpleasant and disheartening. A peasant met with an accident which resulted In a broken leg. The neigh- tmra of eonrae commiserated him. "Arrah," he remarked, with a gleam of satisfaction In his eye aa he regarded the bandaged limb, "what a blessing It Is that It wasn't me neck." Yes. the irrepressible Irishman has a Joke for every occasion. Two country men who had not seen each other for a long time met at a fair. They had a lot of things to tell each other. "Share It's married I am," said O'Brien. "You don't tell me so!" said Blake. "Faith, yes," ald O'Brien, "an I've got a fine, healthy bhoy which the neighbor eay I the very plcter of me." Blake looked for a moment at O'Brien, who was not to say the least remarkable for his good looks, and then said, "Och. well, Wbafa the harrum so long as the child's healthy" And yet a peasant to whom a witticism thus spontaneous ly spring may be very simple minded. The peasants' passion for rhetoric till Induce tbem to commit to memo ry Imposing polysyllables which they often mhtnpply, with the most amusing and grotesque results. I heard a nurse- inald exclaim at a crying child In her arm. "Well, of all the ecclesiastical children I ever met you're wan of thlm." A landlord In the south of Ire land recently received a letter from a tenant In the following terms: Tee Beaaee flopta this taos yoa la health, aa It kma aw at er-arot, roar Bill kaa lanaaiiated ata poor oald doakey. .
