C., is so closely interwoven with the history of the American Republic that it is difficult to separate the one from the other. The almost total destruction of that historic city by an earthquake on the night of August 3ist, 1886, becomes a matter of National importance, and forms a sad but interesting epoch in the history of the Republic. With the dreadful details of that fatal night the American people are already familiar, through the columns of the American newspaper press. Sixty thousand people were aroused from their slumbers by the fearful rocking and swaying of their houses, by / crumbling and falling walls, by the awful trembling of the earth beneath their feet and by the heart-rending shrieks of thousands of affrighted men, women and children, mingled with the moans of the wounded and dying. Many rushed out of their houses to meet death beneath thè masses òf falling debris which were started in motion by the terrible shake, and as the survivors gathered in the public squares and open places where instinct carried them, and women and children, half clad, stood shivering and trembling on the verge of an awful eternity, the heavens were lighted up by the lurid glare of flames that burst from four different quarters and simultaneously sprang into life, adding to the terrors of the situation and the horrible adjuncts of the fearful scene. In less than thirty seconds the fairest city on the South Atlantic coast was laid in ruins, her business paralyzed, her commerce destroyed and her people rendered homeless. After a night of unparalleled horrors, which no pen can picture, no toitgue describe, the men of Charleston stunned and dazed by the awful blow, awoke to the realization of the appalling fact that the accumulation of a life time, the fruits of centuries of honest industry had been swept away at a breath. Charleston had gone through many vicissitudes, many afflictions and much peril and suffering. Besieged by the British in the revolutionary war, her people made a manly and heroic resistance to the attacks of the invader. Year after year, prior to i860, her population was decimated by the ravages of that scourge of the tropics—the yellow fever. The birth-place of Secession, she was the 1first city to pay the penalty. Before the guns of the Confederate troops sounded the tocsin of war and opened on Anderson and his handful of faithful regulars imprisoned in the walls of Sumter/a devastating fire swept through her streets from river to river, devouring millions of dollars of property. A warning—it might seem—of the fate that awaited the doomed city. For four years the troops of the Union thundered at her doors for admission, and the guns of the historic Swamp Angel hurled a rain of shot and shell of fire and iron upon her devoted head. The grass grew in her streets and “ Desolation saddened all her green.’’ Then came peace and a gradual building up of waste places. In 1885, a cyclone swept over the devoted city, carrying destruction with it and wiping out over two million dollars worth of property. Offers of help came from all parts of the country. But old Charleston steadily and pluckily girded up her loins, faced her troubles and thankfully but firmly refused help. Her own citizens once more undertook the work of building up her waste places. A little more than a year had elapsed and her people had just begun to recover from the effects of that disastrous visitation when the hand of Providence was once more laid heavily upon this fire, storm and battle-scarred city. It is impossible in the limited space allotted the chronicler here to give the details of the awful wreck that was wrought in Charleston on the fatal night of the 31st of August. The pictures presented in this volume tell the tale more truly than pen can do it, and even these do not describe the situation in half of its awful reality. Ninety-two lives were lost. Had the earthquake occured in the day, the loss of life would have reached into the thousands. At that season of the year most of the inhabitants at 10 o’clock at night are in their homes and the streets are comparatively deserted. It is a singular fact that most of the persons killed or injured were either in the streets at the time of the shock or were rushing out of the crumbling buildings. Those who had the presence of mind to remain in their houses, went through a fearful experience, but escaped with their lives. Not a single person is known to have been killed inside a house, although many were buried under the ruins and were afterwards rescued. Most of the walls fell outwards. The chimneys in some instances fell on adjoining roofs and crushed them in, but no death is known to have resulted from this cause. Over 6,000 buildings either wrecked or badly damaged, and riot a single plastered interior in the city is said to have escaped uninjured. The loss in money has been estimated at over $5,000,000, but the actual loss will probably largely exceed that figure, owing to the high prices that house-owners have been compelled to pay for mechanical labor. The wages of carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers and masons for two months after the earthquake, ranged from $5 to $10 per day. The seismological record is appended here as a part of the history of the times : On the 27th August, a sensation was caused by reports from Summerville, a surbuban city, twenty-two miles north of Charleston, that an earthquake shock had occurred. It has since been recalled that the same shock was felt by a few persons in Charleston. On the 28th, shortly before 2ri five A. M., a very distinct shock was felt in Charleston, the force being sufficient to rattle the houses and awaken sleepers. From the 27th of August until midnight of the 30th of September, there were thirty distinct shocks in Charleston, the record having been kept by the writer. These were as follows : August 27 August 28 August 31 September September September September September September September September 10 September 12 September 15 September 21 September 22 September 27 September 28 September 30 1 shock, slight. 1 shock, slight. 5 shocks, destructive. 3 shocks, severe. 3 shocks, severe. 2 shocks, severe. 2 shocks, slight. 1 shock, moderate. 2 shocks, slight. 1 shock, slight. 1 shock, slight. 1 shock slight. 2 shocks, moderate. 1 shock, severe. 1 shock, moderate, local. 1 shock, severe. 1 shock, moderate. 1 shock, slight. In the record no notice was taken of any slight tremor of the earth, many of which occurred and many more of which were imagined. This completes the record. It only remains to be said that Charleston will emerge from this disaster like she has from many others. The whole country, as soon as it realized the extent of her misfortunes, generously sprang to her help, and with the help of the American people, a new city will arise from the ruins of the old, more beautiful to look at and in every way worthy of the memories of old Charleston.

In view of the apparently low prices at which cheaply made benzine and water paints are offered, and the difficulty experienced in discriminating between the best paints and paints of inferior character , we now add to our previous guarantee the additional guarantee of cost, thus placing the low price of our paint beyond doubt. We agree to furnish our paints free of cost to any buyer who, having painted his building ivith our paints, can demonstrate that our paint has not cost 10 per cent less for paint used, than cost would have been for either pure white lead and linseed oil or any other mixed paint in this country.
