C., Aug 29.—Gov- ervor Tillman received information late this afternoon that a race riot was imminent at Harlem C small town in Orangeburg county. He ordered the Santee rifles of that county to put themselves at the die- posal of Trial Justice O. B. Whet- sel. The negroes in that section have formed a combination not to pick cotton for less than 50 cents a hundred for white farmers. An old negro who violated this agreement and picked for a white mau at 40 cents per hundred was taken out of his house last night and severly beaten. Several negroes were ar rested for the crime and this un doubtedly incensed the negroes Owing to the poor telegraphic facil ities there nothing further can be learned, A company of militia could quickly pyt down the trouble with- out bloodehed, Strange Act ofa Father. San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 28 —Last night Dr. Anderson O'Malley, a young New York physiciane, who had been in San Antonio for three weeks, shot his 3-year-old child acci- dentally and then killed it to put it out of its pain. His wife and him- self had been very neryous about burglars and have been keeping awake several nights. They heard the door in the children’s room creak and went there with a cocked pistol. O'Malley saw no one and poked his little nephew and his own sop with the pistol to cause them to turn over- The pistol went off, shooting the child in the side and the father then put the pistol to its head and killed it to relieve it of its misery, as he said he knew the wound was fata’. He is under arrest, almost insane.

Rev. Joseph Doddridge, in his ‘Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania.” gives a detailed and | realistic account of the pioneer life of | that region. He was born in 1769. His mother died six or seven years after- | | ward, and his father sent him to Mary- | | | | land to school. On his way thither he saw some wonderful things and had some surprising experiences, which he thus describes: At Col. Brown's in the mountains I for the first time saw tame geese, and for bantering a pet gander I got a se- vere biting by his bill and beating by his wings. I wondered very much that birds so large and strong should be so much tamer than the wild turkeys. At this place, however, all was right ex- cept the large birds which they called | geese. The cabin and its furniture were such asI had been accustomed to seein the backwoods, as my country was then called. At Bedford everything was changed. The tavern at which my uncle put up wasa stone house, and was plastered inside, both as to the walls and the ceiling. I was struck with astonish- ment. I had no idea that there was any house in the world which was not built of logs, but here I looked round the house and could see no logs, and above I could see no joists. Whether such a thing had been made by the hands of man, or had grown up of itself, I could not conjecture. When supper came on, my confusion was worse confounded. A little cup stood in a bigger one, with some brownish stuff in it, which was neither milk, hominy, nor broth. What to do with these little cups and the little spoons belonging to them 1] could not tell, and I was afraid to ask. I watched to see what the big folks would do, and then did the same, and found the coffee nauseous beyond any- thing I had ever tasted. I continued to drink, as the rest of the company did, with the tears streaming from my eyes; but when it was to end I was at a loss to know, as the little cups were filled immediately after being emptied. This circumstance distressed me very much, but looking attentively at the grown persons, I saw one man turn his cup bottom upward and put his spoon across it. I observed that after that his cup was not filled again, and I followed his example witha like happy result. PROGRESS IN AFRICA. A Country That Is Slow to Adopt the Customs of Civilization. Asacontinent it is the home of a vigorous race of mankind, which, while resisting assimilation with Eu- ropean civilization, defies permanent conquest. According to the Nineteenth Century, it views with equanimity, or at least is powerless to resent, the oc- cupation of its coasts and the more healthy contiguous regions; but the heart of the continent remains, and must ever remain, the home of the African. Allied races, and people who have for centuries undergone the searcely perceptible process of ace matization, may, it is true, effect a lodgment in the heart of Africa: but if they remain there, they themselves eventually undergo absorption into the primitive ¢ or suffer total extinction. Nature has, in short, off tropical 2 as the abiding home of the t uropean travelers, traders. missionaries, conquerors m: at their will and at their peril pene- trate into this dark sanctuary, but their sojourn is for and on the morrow the faint traces of their pas- sage are obliterated by the exuberant growths of barbarism.

WING FEATHERS. ‘The Marvelous Mechanical Provisions of Nature. Feathers are peculiar to birds, and in their typical form have a shaft or stiff central rod fixed at one end into the From the shaft grow xz the web skin and free at the other. two opposite sides of thi thin, flat plates, constitut or vane of the feather. ever, is nota simple, solid structure like a piece of fy r, or even the leaf ofaplant. It is composed of an im- mense number of horny | placed side by side and set ob on the shaft, to which they are fixed | by their inner ends. To understand what follows, I would ask my reader, says a writer in Good Words, to take a quill, or a feather of the wing of any bird that may be at hand, and look at it carefully. He will see that these separate filaments of whic’ the vane is composed, technically goose called barbs, although really distinct from each other and only attached to the common stem at their base, have a | curious tendency to cling together, so and as to form a continuous structure, that it takes a sli t but dist amount of force to separate them, and that after they have been pulled or] forced apart, if they are brought in contact again by gently stroking the feather in the or by waving it briskly they will join again as firmly as before. He will also find that S operation may be repeated an indefinite number of times. Of all the marvelous mechanical adaptations we meet with in nature there is nothing more wonderful than that which is seen in,every feather ofa bird’swing.

London hasa pet-dog cemetery. In this town when a very dear and be- loved doggie dies he must be buried all alone by himself, because the regular cemeteries have officials and lot own- ers who object to receiving other than human corpses within their gates. The London dogs’ cemetery is near the Victoria gate in Hyde park. In the rear of the gate-keeper’s lodge is a plot of ground which looks jike a tiny garden. In the midst of the flowers, however, are a number of small marble tombstones. Arranged in rows, each bearing some tender in- scription, with tiny rel paths be- tween and an arch of ivy to greet the spectator, one counts about forty of these pretty tokens of remembance. “Poor Little Prince” is the inscrip- tion of the duke of Camb d-and-gone pet.
