Front Jones Seminary. C a rous a Spartas: ThinkioK perhaps you? readers would not objeet to a few hints from th^s beautiful, romantic and secluded spot, I will endeavor , to tell you something abont it. Ic is situated among the sunny htlis of North Carolina, four miles east of Kings' Mountain and six miles west of 1 Oastonia. It is a lovely place for a 1 school. The Seminary consists of four large buildings. These buildings are situated just at the foot of Crawder's moon tain. Etid at early la the Mtkoi u March, | it was bright and warm, and often the girls were seen climbing this mountain I in Search of flowers, and eoming back from these walks with their arms fall of the beantifol trailing arbutus, which grows In great abnndanee over all oar Southern mountains. There are sevtffcty pupils and three teachers Cere now. On the 1st day of May the school gave an entertainment, ealled the "Ma? Pole Dance." Twenty-four beautiful girls, dancing around the May Pole, plaited the ribbons beautifully. The lovely Qaeen seated on her gorgeous throne, made of evergreens, ferns and flowers, attended by four maids of Honor and a guard of eight, was a sight lovely to behold, while the rest of the school made the hills eoho with beautiful music, to which all kept time. It was a pleasant occasion and a time long to be remembered by all who were present. On Saturday night, the 5th Inst., a "Tackey party" was given, which was a grand success. Most of the girls exerted themselves to see who eoald be the tackiest, and some very redieulous costumes were presented. A prize of a transparent cake of soap, tied with a blue ribbon, was offered by Miss Flora Johnson and was won by Miss Louise Colman, who was pronounced by the judges as the tackiest of the erowd. Three cheers for the "Tackey party." Rev. Mr. Hampton preaches to us occasionally. Twioe every month we go to Pisgab, an 1 R. P. ehureh about two miles from here, of which Rev. Mr. Galloway is pastor. He is a good preacher and a noble man. We have a young ladies' prayer meet ing in the Seminary which is conducts! hv the srlrls. It has a good influ ei.ce over all. There are several mineral springs hers noted for their medicinal water. The many springs, the lovely flowers, tbe beautiful paths, the dear good teachers, and the mother and father which we And in our Principal and his wife, all make life pass very pleasantly for us, although, of course, we some times long for our homes. In the Seminary is a Library consisting of 700 volumes to which tbe girls have access and many weary hours are made pleasant by reading these volumes. School closes Juue 14th, when we will leave the lovely scenes for the I dearer ones at home. With best wishes to the readers and s access to the Bpartan, I am sincerely Bmma Rcdisail,, All Healing, N. G. Jackson's Administration. warm times in his cabinet?hotts in south carolina. [BT MAJOR WILLIAM HOI.] Mr. Editor : I will proceed rapid with my recollections of Jackson's fir yesr of his administration, 1829. I su pose that most of yonr readers a better supplied with histories and ei cyclopedias than I am. I have none i either. Jackson chose VanBuren f< his Secretary of State; Ingham for Se retary of the Treasury; Branch tl Navy; Eaton, War; Barry, Postmaste n 1 ?* R.J T. \JUUC1AJ. XUC UVTVIUUICUV "?U "V terior department at that time. DL sensions quickly sprang up in the Cab net Mrs. Baton, it was said, was not lady, and the other Cabinet officer wives ?onId not visit her and retur her calls. Jackson took side* wit Eston and his wife. Eaton wm Jacl Oil's biographer, and was Senator i Congress from Tennessee when ai pointed Seoretary of War. It was sal that Jackson issued a private manifest for her calls to be returned, or the offl cers to resign. They chose to resigr Jackson ehoee for his new cabinet Liv ingston, of Louisiana, State Deparl ment; McLane, of Delaware, Treasury Woodbury, New Hampshire, Navy Cass, Michigan, War. I forgot wh his next postmaster was. Amos Ken dall was his chief of the Postoffiee De part ment during his first and secon< administration, but some one intervene< betwixt Barry and Kendall. YanBurei was appointed Envoy to England Barry, to Spain; Branch returned t< the Senate from North Carolina. Ing ham never held any office after his re tirement. Mr. Calhoun in his speed on the Force Bill, said there was noi a more clear headed man in Congresi than he. Livingston had been Senator in Congress from New York. H< had held some very responsible Uniter States offiee in that State. Some of hii subordinates stole large amounts of th< public money. Livingston went tc JLouisiana, practiced law, become ac author of law, made money, replaced ail the money his subordinates had stolen, and was one of Jackson's brilliant tiff it the hkt.tU nf \To? nt ?nH returned to Congress from Louisiana when appoiuted Seeretary of State. Towards the eloee of the year 1829, the active campaign of Nullification commenced. I will attempt to give my reeoileetions of that movement in South Carolina, refering to Jackson's administration, as I progress. I was not a voter until 11*32, but I will give an unbiased description of the movement. When I became a voter I voted with the Union Party. Early in 1830, Judge Huger reeigned his judgeship and same out a candidate for the lower Boom the Legislature from Charleston. Mr. Petigru reaJ?*v>d Attorney 'fTJitrn iiiijiUjfrr fsm Hip Mij Alkoo ^laee loi?harleeton, w?o had been killed by tse fall from a horse/ Parties became very much excited in most of the districts. The strife in Charleston was great; in Columbia the same. Edgefield was solid for nullification, Newberry the same; so were Union and Fairfield. Abbeville and Laurens were sharply divided. York was the closest in the State and remained so to the last. Chester had a large working majority for nullification. The Sand Hill districts were sll TTninn. Pcndlc ton, Mr. Calhoun's district, several hundred majority in favor of nullification. Greenvi.Ue, the hardest working mi nority in the world, led by Wawldy Thomson. Spartanburg was the field for the missionary from every part of the State. A man tbey sailed Ike Holmes, came from Charleston; Clowney, from Union; Irby and Young from Laurens. Hayne carried the "war into Afrioa" in his speech on Foot's resolutions. Webster encountered Hayne, and acoording to Everett, the diary man, gained a very slight victory, or it was rather a drawn battle. Judge Smith made a speech, and it was said, did not give Hayne the support he should have done. He bad been turned out of the Senate in 1822 for being a State rights man, or nullifier. I recollect reading the speech that he made in the Senate. He sa'd that in case of an assault of the North on the South, he would make a body guard out of his own negroes. His speech failed to attract the attention that Hayne's did. I will give a short sketch of the meetings in Spartanburg and Greenville, with regard to nullification. Henry C. Young, one of the missionaries, ranked as nearly a first class stamp speaker; McDuffle, Governor Hamilton and General Blair being oonsidered at the head of the procession of stamp speakers. Toons', though it was claimed by the Union men, was dambfonnded when he attempted to tell the Spartanhneg people^hat. Jefferson was the first nnllifler. i ha\e pat the cart before the horse. Barnet, the ex-Baptist preacher and ex-Methodist preacher, shouted, "the devil was the first nullifier." There was a great Union meeting at Spartanburg, saleday in October. All the candidates were called on for their political sentiments. Evins and Dodd for the Senate, botn against noiuueation; aiso Dr. Lewis, Memory Chapman, John Crawford, James Crook, Theron Earle and William Read. Dr. Winsmitb, it was said, spoke against the convention and then voted for it. He always claimed voting for the convention, bat he coald never clear it up satisfactorily, and it retired him from politics for twenty years. Mr. Earle declared himself in favor of a protective tariff. He issued a sensible circular advocating protection for home manufacturing. Mr. Earle evidently admired Hayne and MeDuffie's logic, for he commenced his circular wishing their ability to help him do his subject justice. A Mr. Cunningham, who was a tanner by trade, was called on for his opinion. He failed to maks himself understood and a brother tanner in the crowd shouted: "Tell them to salt their hides better." In Qreenville party splv!t ran high. Both sides put out candidates. On the Union side they were Harrison, Cobb 1 and Barry. The nullifier put out Waddy Thomson, Tandy Walker, and a Mr. Wickliffe. Harrison at the head of the ticket, it was said, had a slight hallucination of mind. The nnllifers told them their ticket consisted of one mad man and two fools. Harrison was t educated man. It was said that he hi studied law, medicine and theolog Frequently in his hallucinations 1 would drift over to Cashville, letting be distinctly known that he was strict! ly alive to a high sense of honor. It wi difficult at times for his friends to kee p. him from being badly treated by tt re Cashville rowdies for the keen sarc&si q. he frequuently indulged in. Mr. Stor had been elected to the Senate in 18' 5r as a Jackson man. c.

Waddy Thomson got eve j 700 votes running 200 votes ahead of hi ticket. Mr. Petigru was elected to fll out Aiken's unexpired term of the Ben ate in Charleston. He beat Dick Cunningham, who was a brother of Rober Cunningham of Laurens, who was i power in the Union party.

A New Crusade A Recent Convention in Canada of Epworth Leaguers, Christian Endeayorers, and members of other young people^ societies, Inaugurated a new crusade against the traffic in intoxicants. It arranged for a close allianee of all the young people's societies, of the churchesf for organizing a definite "plan of csunpaign" to promote first, total abstinence for the individual, than local prohibition for village, town, and county, and as soon as possible for the whole Dominion of Canada. The county at large, yea, the whole world,'has much to hope for and expect from this new movement To oar mindit indicates more than altaffdeeaae. ^nRnever Wesua get the young people of all the churches aroused on this subieet and united in the fight, whiskey will have to go. There are no obstacles that appear unsurmountable to the fiery zeal of youth. The customs of the past, though hoary with age and hedged about by legal phantasm of ''property considerations" and "inalienable rights" eannot obtain reverence from our American youth when they are linked with iniquity, as is the case with the liquor traffic, dive our boys and girls a chance, get their eonviotion, and faith, and courage firmly fixed, and they will sweep the abomination from the land in short order. lo the fight with the whiskey evil heretofore, two things have been lacking. All the Christian people have not been equally determined iu their oppo sltion to the evil, and there has not been that unification of forces that would bring success. This is rapidly changing. Good people are growing more and more earnest in the fight; and slowly, but surely, they are coming to that plaee where they can see eye to eye, and will join forces for the final fight. The young people will lead the way. We hope this new crusade will not be confined to Canada, but that it will spread to the United States, and then leap across the waters, and unify the youth of Christendom for the war. We call upon the Epworth League Convention at Cleveland, and the great Christian Endeavor Convention at Montreal, to take this question under consideration and formulate same plan by which all the young people'ssocitiesinthe United States can work together for the extermination of the liquor traffic. Whlnh Khali It Bara Adger, in the Augusta Chroni* ele, gives utterance to her "Tale of Woe" in the following words: Will somebody tell me what should a girl do, When three or four fellows come often to woo; She rmn't marry two. she can t marry three TTta Id a atrrnmoa. O wbMi shall It be? Sometimes I like Harry, sometimes I like Fred And sometimes 1 feel that I dearly love Ned; Hut bow to lose Willie I really can't see, And then my heart murmurs, "O which shall It be?" I know that with Johnny I really cau't part And to see Tom go would nlch break my heart. If any must leave me It sure can't be he, O somebody help me, which shall It be? Many a maiden of eighteen summers has often felt that blisssful, beatific be wilderment and they have really believed that all they have to do is to touch and take. It is a blaued time and it can be enjoyed only once- Like the down of the fairest butter fly's wing, the dew that sparkles in myriads of pearl drops on the graceful grass, the roseate hues that make the eastern sky resplendent at early dawn, this estatic joy soon passes away. One of these days Sara will be older. If she contln-' ues to hesitate, one by one her young friends will find other "sixteeners." The years will glide by. Harry will marry the other girl, and Willie will settle down into dignified bachelor hood. Sara will find that her beautiful brown hair is getting a little mxed with another color, because it "runs in our family to tarn gray when quite young." The poetry will be knocked out of her maiden meditations and her lament will run thus: Will any on* tell me what and old girl can do When gay, handsome young beaux refuse to woo? She cant marry even one, unless he proposes,? I'm In a dilemma and my bed Is not roses. Often I long for Harry and Willie and Fred And think I could be happy even with old Ned, But to lose them all-ah sorrowful day,?

The Governor said: "I -8 am glad that we know what the law is at last, and will be able to stop all tnis lc floundering about in the sea of uncertainty. I am only sorry that they did 16 not leave me the constabulary to help enforce it." y "Well, what will you do to enforce n this law t was asked, f" The Governor replied: "What ma chinery havWl got to do anything with. B" The sheffffsend police are under other officers. They are not under my con* trol. I can only lend my moral support U' to the law and what "official support I may have, but I wish you would tell i* me what authority I've got.

"Well suppose the municipal authority ties find they cannot enforce the law, - what then ? .1 "Vnn im f*klno fn* (mntA^ that th?T i cannot." e "Yes, I am." 1 The Governor then said: "Well, we a had better wait and see before we unf dertake to discoss Idealities.

Whathypocrisy 1 Glad?" when he had a circular issued to every 1 trial Justice in the State to prevent the 1 making of a o&ae to test the law; when he ten days ago made the Florence trial jostice discharge a prisoner in order to prevent jast such habeas corpus proceedings as have resulted in this decision; when the only way a determination has been secured was by having an arrest made by the mayor of Florence, who would not be stopped by his authority? The Governor becomes the role of the heavy villian better than that of sniveling hypocrite! "My proclamation" (assuming control of the police of the cities) was only of force until the dispensary law was declared off. That law being no longer law, I have no longer power to enforce it.*1 That is what Governor Tillman sa{d yesterday. It is utterly untrue His proclamation had no warrant In, or dependence upon the dispensary act; it was issuep by authority of the Ku Klnz statutes, which remain unimpaired, on the books. It was not annulled by the dispensary decision. It has not been withdrawn by him, and it Is to-day of the same force and effect as it was the day he issued it. He may not wish to control the police of the cities to enforce prohibition; bathe has every jot as much authority to do so as he had to control them to enfore the dispensary law. His wriggling and pre* varieation are contemptible. Ex-Dispenser Floyd of Darlington, in an inservlew in the Charlotte Hews, says, "Even now 'he dispensers are getting $50 a mouth for looking after fha llnnnn \ftnv nannla drtn't know this, bat it is so." Oar St. Matthews correspondent writes, "The dispenser here says that his salary if being con* tinned at half the former sam. He has to sleep in the bailding at night" Former dispensary in Colombia, Edgefield and elsewhere say that their salaries continue to to paid. Slnee the decision a store has been rented for a dispensary in this elty, whiskey is being received and money spent for freight and drayage. All this shows that the money of the State is being spent under ' the dispensary act in defiance of the decision of the Supreme Court. Not one ( dollar can be legally spent for anything ( connected with the dispensary system. ( and some taxpayer should at once apply i to the Supreme Court for an injunction ( to restrain Governor T'llman from thus j farther increasing the financial loss his ( unconstitutional act has caused. The matter cannot be too soon attended to. j i There is more catarrh in this section y of the country than all other diseases < nut together, and until the last few ] years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to care with local treatment, pronoanced it incarable. Science has proren catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hairs Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

A jonng man in the West, whose arm had been amputated, was attacked with diphtheria before his limb had healed. To the saprise of his physician, the matter Incident to diphtheria appeared on the stamp of the arm, instead of deposit- + ing itself as usual in the throat, and the ease proved to be a very mild one. The doctor profited by this strong intimation from nature, to whom manv of his professions pay very little heed, and when next called to visit a diphtheritic patient, blistered his chest. There most of the deposits showed themselves, aud the patient speedily recovered " At the that the above appeared?lsal ?oar literature on diphtheria was not only brief, bat highly contradictory. I had eome to theconclasion that the decease was a specific poison Involving the entire system, and not a local disorder; that the characteristic exudations appeared in the throat, not because it was any part of its morbid law to do so, bat becansethe thinness of the lining of the throat afforded the most favorable place for external manifestation; and not only the most favorable, bat the mcst dangerous, especially with young children. I had seen unmistakable diphtheritic deposits in fresh wounds on various parts of the body, and in the female genital tract, and had ask myself the question: Is it possible to bring this poison to the surface, on some part of the body, where it can be more directly and successfully combated than in the throat? I found by cautions experimenting that I could not udrive it oat" by internal medication. Then I decided to try blisters on the upper part of the ohest, though up to that time I had never seen sneh treatment ^advised. I was soon called to a neighborhood where diphtheria In a malignant form was raging; there had been several deaths, and some twenty children were then suffering from the dread disorder. The physician who had charge of the fatal cases had given up in despair and vacated the field. In the first house to which I was called there were four cases, the youngest, a boy of three years, seeming beyond all aid; fir allow he eonld not, and his straggles for breath were frightfnl. Using either, iodine and croton oil, I prepared a blistering fluid, and with a small brash applied freely to the apper portion of the child's chest, and lower portion of the throat. This was practically all I did for that ease at that boor, all I could do in faet for erery attempt to swab out the throat or administer internal remedies, met with sneh violent opposition that inetent suffocation was threatened After attending to the other eases, I left . ^ the blister had done its work in fine shape; the entire area painted waa well raised. Upon opening the blister, a sticky yellowish-colored putrid fluid escaped. In two honrs the blistered surface was thickly covered with genuine diphtheritic deposits, the child could breathe with comparatively little difficulty and no longer objected to remedies per mouth and in fact made a speedy recovery. Daring the two weeks immediately following the seeing of this ease, 1 treated twenty six eases of diphtheria and lost none. Ia every serious ease I blistered and have eontinaed the praotice ever since. I am not one of thoee pure bred jacks, whoelaim to be able to care every ease of diphtheria?the man hasn't been born that can do it, and no one but a quack and a fool at that woald claim it, bat 1 do claim to have been successful beyond the average, in the treatment of diphtheria, and I give the blistering part of the treatment large credit. Try it. J. F. Locke, M. D. Pills bury, Minn. The Study of the Bible. Some time since, when "the autocrat of the breakfast table" was asked to advise a student of English literature in the selection of books, Dr. Holmes named the Bible and Shakespeare as compassing the brightest thought and ' the most scholarly English to be found in the language. In line with the sage reasoning of the Boston scholar, the religions community in Washington has reeenllv loined hands with the American Society of Religions Education, whose purpose is to enlist the scholars of the country in devising more thoughtful methods of Bible study than hare hitherto obtained. Already fifty prominent scholars, who will be divided into four classes, to consider the family, the college, the closet and the Sunday-school, have " been chosen as fellows of 4 he society, and the work is to be carried on in earnest throughout the land. Annually these representatives of the society will be called together in Washington, and will join in a symposium of Bible papers, and read and discuss lystems of instruction. The plan of iisseminating the new system of study ind instruction in Bible lore, through fraternities who will systematically jarry the work into the hearts of families and Sunday-schools, is novel and altogether admirable. Aside from the uplifting spiritual enlightenment that must come from ipecial study of the Bible, carried forvard under such auspicies, the study >f the best examples to be found of English literature is no inconsiderable factor in this educational prop iganda. Following the lines of the jovernment Bareau of Education, the leadquarters of the society in Washngton will continue an extensive colection of all pablications relating to he Bible, which will be accessible to he public at all times. It would seem that the aid of the Christian Endeavor societies, already ixlstlng and admirably organized, night well be employed as adjuncts o the promotion of the systematic tudy of the Bible, undertaken by the raternities authorized to disseminate he good work. Religion and literaare will go hand in hand in this new rosade, so auspiciously inaugurated.? few fork Mall and Express.
