It IB the suddenness of the approach of tlio earthquake , Us power and the absence of any Indication when tliu thine Is u\cr , or rather under tiiat makes It awlul. That bravery Uhlcli leads a man to rush to u rescue In water or lire , that prompts him to strike down an cncuiy ami asserts physical man hood does not apply to thu p.uilcs In earth quakes. Strong men become as weak as women or children. If Charleston Is pl\cn pioper encourage ment she will benelit bv this visitation , so tar as business and all that goes to make n successful city Is conccined. It will re sult in putting some new buildings In thetc , and tli.U is onu of the fjrc.itcst nerds ol thu city. Them was not a more dilapidated city in the United States than Cliailcdton before tliu calamity of August : il cnmo. The buildings weio not only old In aichltectnro , hut they had long been built. They seru toitoiiim fiom aje , and \\cie icady to tall at the slightest indi cation. Wlien Jlnally thev did topple they weio a pel feet mass of s.ind and lime. There was no mortar In the debris. It appears that the buildings worn consttuctcd bufoio our present knowledge of brick and btono ma sonry was discovered. Such a tiling as hair in the lima and sand an hnpnit.int lugiud- lent to mortar was not known , lam told that in the middle of the last century , w hen niany of these stinctures vveio put , uu , that n plaster was tu.ulo 01 pulverized shells and llino which took the place ot mortar , and that it was sometimes superior to the moitar of the present day. An old builder at Cliarlcston , speaking ot the character of the buildings there , said : "The work was well done , on the whole , n century and a half ago. What has made these buildings weak and miuio them fall MO wildly is ic. ; The cyclone a year ago loosened ened the walls In many places , und thLs jar , these constant reeiu ring shocks , have done the work of demolition , It is tlio most dilll cult thing In the woild , however , to base good woik put In buildings here. The giont majority of it Is done by colored men who lay no claims to any special ability us mechanics. Why , thteo-loniths of tlio sand used In tbu constiuction of build- Incs here duilnc the pahtlifty yeais was se cured by dlgirlng holes In the ground r.t thu points where the Work was done. The soil heie Is veiy sandy , as you will see , but by this Indifference almost as much mud as sand ha.s , onu Into the lime for moitar , licsldes.whcn you put tlio avciago hod-man hnre to woik at mortar ho is just as apt to put twice as much llmo In as he should usu as ho is to put In too much mud and sand Tliu material used has been and la now very Inferior. " A member of tlio relief committee said this About rebuilding tlio city : " 1 don't think Charleston will everrecovcr 'from ' this calamity. Her business has been kept up by the cotton and rico trades. Those have lor years been shilling to other cities. ando ha\e not held our own. The preat bulk of tliu loss by de.sti uction of buildings falls upon an aristocracy which has been sus- t allied nioro by pride than wealth. It owns tliC' > o blocks Of business houses , which atolls only huppoit. It has no other means and cannot rebuild. Pride family pildu will not permit the transfer to porboiiswho have the means to icbuild , und unless assistance comes from thu outside tlio lota where thu wiecksot misinoss houses stand now must bo vacant. When the debris is taken away. Charleston has less real wealth than ny other city of Its'sl/o in the country. You will ob.seivc that , as a into , the wholesalers have not large stocks , the bank deposits aio not heavy , and short-Umo bales are the rule. Business piopcrty does not pay good rents , and residence prppoitlesaio. a hindrance It you do not occupy them 3 ourself. " 1 was especially Impressed with the supreme premo quietude of Charleston. In times of excitement in northern cities tlio streets are filled with people by day and by night. In Charleston In thn day time ono will not meet half a do/en persons In a block In traversing the butdncss portion of the city , and will frequently walk two squares In the residence poitlou of the city without encountering a solitary pedestrian. During thu most ox- cltlui : nlichts I was there I would walk squares and squaiuK in going to and from the telegiaph olllees without seelufe a dozen IMJO- nlo moving. There were many In the sheets , but they had camped out lor the night. AH ot thu residences boiu thu old-fashioned roomy pia//as i mining around each story , and thn members of the families not actually ( iniplo ) cd spend theh tlnm In thu siesta thu salt biceros produce when ono reclines thus In tin ) shade. There is voiy little pushing work lu Cluiloston at any time. Tliu very air Is enervating to the noithern man and tlio nativu lias Inherited an inclination to take the world easy , and this ho cultivates. Tliero is n piofoundness about the appreci ation of the people of Charleston of what the noith Isdolnu lor them that rcmuneiatesono lor what ho gl\os. The natives look noith now torashlKtancu just as thu llttlo boy turns to his matcinal ancestor for advice In tlio hour of trouble. Thi'io aroyet In ihoclty Homo of the men who helped to bombard Kurt Kumter and Inaumni'.to the very Initial blow given the gou'rnment ; and what Is more , they speak of It with pitdo to this day , At this moment , ho win 01. they speak of "tho gou'innient at Washington" as"urov- ! ernment. " and aa eainoatly anticipate assist ance as the child could hopu for aid fiom a loud father. The magnanimous treatment the noith Is extending to thoNu people will solder their patriotism to the old llag and weld them llrmly to the constitution. U Is not a uuicly occasion to niako tlio lemarlr , but It may Lo said Vnat whatei or Charleston lucked of reconstruction ten dajs ago nho has received aid and in such abundance that she oanghuto others.

Tlio Siato Pair. Ilr.s JfoivKs , la. , Sept. I'J. ( Special to the HIM : . ] The state fair for I8b0 has passed Into hlslory. Looked at In ullTcient ways It has been a success and a comparative failure , or at least a disappointment. Consulerinn the weather , and the faet that this was the first year of the fair In Its permanent qmutors , It has boon quite successul ! , and the losults are quite BMtlfyliiK. Hut at the same time , be cause of the weather , which has been ralnlnc most of the time , the fair has not attracted the number of people that weio expected. The fair seems to bo having a streak ot bad luck. Last ear there was but ono day dur ing the fair when It did not rain. This ye.vr it rained on the days that are usually re garded as the big days , and kept thousands of people away. "This Is a queer country you have , " said a Kontloman fiom out of the state , who was altondlnf ? the fair. "Hero > ou have baked and slwled all the summer long , and now th.it the fair has come , just when you need good weather you have the hardest rains of the season. " "I'll tell you what's the matter. " said a solemn looking gentleman standing by , "Providence is against the fair , because It keeps open on Sunday. " Well , something seems to bo asalnst the fair , and the reason of the relluious Kontlc- man , maybe taken Into consideration. At any rate the fair would tie about as well If it didn't onen In name , as it practical y doesn't In foct till Monday , As It now is tiioiiRh the fair Is adveitlsed to benln on I-riday. t HI ex hibits are not In place till Monday , mm com paratively few people attend till then. Iheie is but llttlo demand heio for a Sunday dis play , as thcru usually is nut much to sec till Monday , and many have a mojudlco against openlnu' the irates to paid admissions cm bun- day. It wouldn't bo a b.id Ido.i to close on Sunday next \ear , andnco what the weather will be. Arrrn THI : DHUHOISTS. Gradually the connulssloncis of pharmacy are KctthiK after thu drmrsiistsi who violate the piohlbltoiy law , bnt not half as active as they oiiKlitto. In many localities , the law , so tar ns It applies to duiKRlhts is a perlect laice. Men obtain Ihnior almost as easily as a dose of quinine. In many stores tlio purchaser Is not ifmilred to fill out the foininl application. stntliiB for which of the excepted uses mechanical , medicinal and culinary ho wants the liquor. In other cases w hero ho is luqutreil , he is often allowed to sign any name bnt his own , and as a mat ter ot fact usually does. So that if the liles of a druirirlst's book were looked over they would show , In many instances , that Gov ernor Larrabeo or Clover Cleveland , or per haps St , John or some other tumpciancc apostle had purchased very freely at some dnnt.stoiesot that which is commonly sup- to come within tlio prohibition of the law. There Is tills to be said lor the new law , bowover : That a best it Is an experiment. Jhe last legislatme was importuned , to do soine- tliinc to regulate the s.iles of liquor for pur poses not tin bidden bv law , and this tenta- ti\c statute Is the result. It is possible , oven jiobable ) , that the next legislature will be called upon to m.ike some changes In it strengthen where it Is weak and piovlda for some of the contingencies that expeiionco can suggest but were not anticipated when the law was framed. There is a gno-.l deal of complaint by many , some even saying that it is just as bad to have the druggists sell bottled tled liquors as they do ns it would bo to have the saloons running In full blast.

ThD Oareor of tbo Famous Jumper Who Perished at Goneseo Falls. 3 ho Oillum of Sixty Vcara Ago ami His Sensational lionps ills Knrty II To , UN Vaulting Ambition nnd Ills UiMtlt. Urodlo nnd Donovan at the lirooklyn bridge , autl Grnlr-mi at Niagara , have striven In vain foru fame the world will never accord but to the ono person who earned it by pr only of claim. The name of Sum Patch is as immortal ns that of Hip Van Winkle , though not quite as fabulous. Tlio place of his leap nt Niagara is dtiil pointed out to the in- nuhing tourist at tliu fulls , nnd thou sands of travelers , who dally nnd nightly pass tlio spot vvheio the Goiiesco dashes over its heights nt Rochester , endeavor to catch a glimpse of the place where lie ninilo his last leap. As long as these famous waters run the renown of tlio ilanng jumper is assured , and no weak Imitators can ever hope to boiir the palm tiway from him. For the benolltof its younger readers IholJiii : will briefly give some account of the adventures of the remarkable person who jumped into fame and finally into eternity more than half a century ugo. Ho was ot obscure origin , and was born in Providenci- . I , in 1807. His childhood and boyhood vverejpas.sed us a wharf rat , spending his ihiys in picking up wliatovor'unconsidored trillus ho could lind without an immediate claimant , nnd his nights where night found him. He then became a sailor , and being a skillful swimmer , iiuiuseil himself by jumping from yard arms and bowsprits into the sea. Abandoning the sea lie led a roving lite on tlio land , and about the time lie reached hid twentieth year found himself ut Patcrson , N. J Here lie was employed for timu in n cotton mill , und here , also , ho commenced tlio career tl.at led to ultimate immortality. lles'ules the fulls of the Pussaic , which Frank Slockston , in "Rudder Giunge , " inimortili/.od ; us a "dry falls , " Patter son has , or had in the ilays of Patch , a famous eluism bridge , suspended .some eighty feet over tlio Pussaic river. From tins bridge in 1827 Sam made his first daring leap , ami became the hero of the hour. After this lie went about the country jumping from yard aims and main tops and all sorts < > t Alv./.y heights. In tliis same year of 1827 the eyes of the whole country were attracted to Niagara Falls by a widely advertised .scheme that a vessel , or ns it was called , the Pirate Michigan , would Do sent down the rap ids and over the cataract with a cicw of furious animals on board. Thousands of people from all parts of the country journeyed to Niagara to see the specta cle1 , and oil the 8th of September , 1827 , tlio brigMichigi an , a condemned vessel , was sent over th cataract. On board the vessel was a crew iu elligy , an oh ! buf falo , an old and a young boar , u fox , a raccoon , nn eagle , two geese ami a dog. The young bear escaped trom the vessel before the falls were- reached , and suc ceeded in swimming ashore ; the rest were carried with the ve.ssel over tlio falls. One goose was recovered below , the only survivor pt those that made the descent. This exhibition created so great an excitement throughout tlie country that Sam Patch determined to outdo it. Proclaiming as his motto that "gome tilings can be done as well ns others , " ho avowed bis intention to make u leap from the top of Niagara 1'alls into the river oolow. On His way to Niagara Sam envo ; exhibitions whcrevi-i Iiu cuulu find a suitable place , und coming to Roches ter lie there undertook to leap the falls of thoGenessce , a height of 100 feet. As part of the show Sam had n pot bear which lie invariably caused to make the lirst leap. His hr.st exhibition at Roch ester was given in the presence of a large number of spectators , the banks of the river being crowded. Ascending the heights at the place selected , drugging His ucnr after him. lie calmly surveyed the crowd below him , and then shoved reluctant bruin off the ledge into the depths below. The animal's descent was successful and ho swam ashore. Then Sum followed him. Leaping straight down , his feet together and his hands pressed to his side , ho shot like an arrow into the pool beneath. When the crowd saw him emerge from tlio water a great cheer resounded , and the people rushed to the water's edge and curried him tri umphantly up the bank. The report of this feat , with that of the others which had precedctl it , attracted great crowds to Niagara to witness the leap to bo made there. The place whence it was made is called "Sam Patch's Leap , " and is pointed out to the visitor to this day. It is on the west side of Goat island near the Uiddle stairs. A ladder was raised , the bottom resting on the edge of the river , the top of the 'lad der inclining over the edge of the river , the top of the ropes fastened to the trees on the bank. A small platform reached from a ledge of rocks to the top of the ladder. From this elevation Sam made two successful leaps in the presence of vast crowds of people. Sam was now invited back to Roches ter , to repeat and even excel h is former performance. In tlio parly days of No vember , 18. ! ) , the newspapers of that vil lage contained an advertisement like this : 1I1G11EU YKT1 SAM'b JjAfsTJUJlPI "SOMI : TIU.NO.S CAN UK noxi : AS VVKI.L AS OTIIKH8. " T1IEIIK IS NO MISTAKE IN SAM PATCH I Thou followed the announcement that on Friday , November 18 , at 2 o'clock p. in. , he would leap from a scaffold twenty-live foot in height , erected on the brink of tlio Gonoseo Falls , into tlio abyss below , a distance nf 125 feet , On that chill November day every available spot on the river bank was crowded with people , who had come from Canada , from Oswego , from Huffalo and from all the surrounding towns and vil lages , to witness tlio crowning achieve ment of tlio great lumper. It was to bo his hiht great feat m the United States. Already ho hud signed an agreement to go abroad , and it was his ambition to leap from London bridge. At the appointed time , with n light heart anil full confidence , ho reached the fulls and climbed hand over hand up n polo to the platform. It bus been charged that he was drunk that day. Most of the reports so have it , but an rye-wit ness who was with Sam throughout the ilay , ami who accompanied him to the falls , in an account published only a few years ago denies this and says unit Sum had but one irink | of brandy , anil that ho was in no degree under the inlluenco of liquor. Standing on the platform and bowing to the vast throng bflow Him. Sam spoke ns follows : "Napoleon was a great man und a great general. He eoiinuoiod armioj ami he conquered nations , but bo couldn't jump the Gi'iiesoo mills. Wel lington was a great man and a great sol- iher. Ho conquered armies , ho _ con quered nations , and ho conquered Na- liolenu , but he couldn't jump the Gene- lu see Fulls. That was left forme to do and I cnii ilo it and will. " Ho threw Himself forward , but instead of descending - It ing in an erect and arrow-like position , Hiicli us lie had always before maintained , ho fall sprawling with his arms above his Head. When ho struck the water a thrill of horror wont through tlio vast concourse of spectators , and , whenafter some minutesthe body did not reappear , tlm crowd incontinently-lied as if some terrblio disostci was coming upon them.

The prcachors denounced all the spectators us if the brand of Cain was upon them , and charged that they were murderers in the sight of God. Throughout the country the adventures of Sam Patcli filled the newspapers for months Poems were written in his praise nnd honor , but none of them have uornc his name to posterity. His fame has out lived the poetry. The following is the conclusion of u tribute to him In ono ol the newspapers of the day : "Go , then , say we , to the sacristan of the tcmplo of fnmn , f Inur tlio nichti und place the pod- ostaj for P-itch. and lut the priest who ministers to immortality niako it the panegyric of Sam that his ambition was without blootlshcd ana his patriotism was pure , for lie fell in his country's falls.

Perhaps the greatest sot-back that the tempenuico cause has received In this city fur u long time , were the recent disclosures mndu by n reporter ot the Every Saturday.

These old soldiers , Imlo and hearty In appearance , huve in arc hod In procession annually and are the finest specimens of robust old ago in the city. For some time pa t there has been con siderable agitation In tills section over the temperance question , the adheicnts of the cause going so far as to demand absolute prohibition.
