(a HSBb Three young men of Abbeville eerreptloua- m HS if loft tho ritv a nleht or two ago by tbe . Ir light of the moon for parts unknown. ni I As the hands of Johnson's clock pointed I to ten, MeBsrB. Gottlob Neuffer, Cbevls Bond- wi I ly and James Hemphill wended their way jg ' toward the vague and visionary south. After I five hours plodding the lonely lanes they Iei espied the cozy outlines of a coon oabln on tb the weary wayside, and as sleep lay heavily I on the eyes of all living things except the hoot owls and sand blind bats, a move was made to "turn In.', Morpheus promptly V( snatched eaoh of these young gents away of from the lonely cot to the far off land of Nod. je As the shadows began to climb tbe hill of old Long Cane they awoke and with a re, past of fresh air and water from a purllug tt spring, hied them on toward the southern eroas, even as the faithful son of Mobammet ti faoes|to the black Kabal stone aDd tbe mighty city of Mecca and withholds not his atrength until his lips have touched tbe saored rock. On and on, across the watershed of rivers, over winding streams and lilting brooks. rc with faces set to tbe south and hearts afire 01 with an ardor old, this trio of determines I] kept their oourse. As the hours of the day & grew small and the Bhadows lengthened, an nnnsual brightness lit their eyes, even as tbe c< Hashish brings light to the eyes of tbe Id- tt dlan devotee, and as the brook sparkes In the ai light of the newly risen moon.' m No miner's steps were lighter when the , V yellow glint of gold strike the eye; no flight of bird of passage more bouyant when VI the land of the long leaf pine recedes and the purple peaks of its long lost home begin to CI lengthen and grow on the dim and distant horizon, than were the steps of tbese young C( men aa their Journey drew near its close. The ardor of the mounted moslem on the p sacred elephant as he approaches the holy temple of Buddah's tooth, fades and flickers aa a oandle, a mere tallow dip, when compared with the mighty aro when'we know the hLo zealousness of these young zealots. , "And a woman (a young woman?a pretty i young girl) was the cause of it all." U ? . ? al KSV, ' > w One Way to Establish Steamship Lines. as One of the visitors to Charleston with the P South Carolina Press Association waB Mr. W R. Bradley, of tbe Abbeville Press ana Banner, and in bis aooount of the meeting be has made a suggestion which might possibly be turned to tbe advantage of ibis community. . i. One of tbe mosi pressing needs of Charleston Just now is tbe establishment of Bteamshlp d( lines between thta port and the foreign mar- .. kets. We must look to the sea for the up n< bulldiug of our commercial interests, and there is not a single line of steamships regularly engaged in the foreign trade of ibis tt port. "Ifyonwisbto go to England." says Mr. Bradley, "you must go a thousand miles "away to oatcb a boat. You can't get to the "Bermuda Islands, a few hundred miles east "of Charleston, without going by New York "to get there." This Is true, and "pity'tis 'tis true." There kt onght to be, and will be in time doubtless, a remedy for this condition of affairs. Mr. C( Bradley suggests a remedy. We do not know 1 that It Is practlceable, bnt at any rate It Is m seriously made, and It Is worthy of considera* < Hon. His remedy is stated as follows: "We might borrow the transports Sheridan, P< and the Sherman, the Logan and the Thorn- p a and put them on these lines that don't ** pay. England lent three or her transports to ou the Canadian Pacific Railway; the Empress of Japan, the Empress of China and the Empress of India, without which the Canadian Pacific Railroad would have amounted to nothing. In this way the Southern, or the Seaboard or the Coast Line might borrow our 8ij transports during peace and make them ser- ,. viewable Instead of permitting them to rot at their piers. . . New York oonld not borrow oar ships because she has lines to all parts o! the world already, but Charleston could." Probably so. At least the effort Is worth 6r ; , making. We do not know, of course, wljat ijv measure of co-operation we might expect pa from the railroad systemB named, nor whether It would be practicable to obtain from the Government the use of the ships i which Mr. Bradley suggests; but Charleston ~n mast take the Initiative, and, if it would do & , aa, we are strongly inclined to the opinion 11 tCat it would receive all practicable aid and m encouragement rrom the railroads serving thiacity. The establishment of direct steamS akin II rv AO Kofmnnn Pho rloctrsn onH fAroicrn ? oounlrlee would be of Immediate and vest ' benefit to this city, and auy plan which 1V1: promises the development ol oar foreign trade deserves careful and serious consideration. The hope of Charleston Is In the sea. ] We must look to tbe sea.? News and Courier. fr( The time of our proud Independence of the la) government Is passed. We have been too ti\ "blggity" to ask tbe government for anything an lnoe '65, and tbe government b as been spending money lavishly on the north, while the 5;' south has been pouting. J TIMES CHANGE. aD We are ready now to take whatever we can ex get. We are ready to ask, beg, and Impor-c tnne the government for any tblng tbey are \ trilling to give away. Tne souin is ioriy years oeninu in iu snare r or tbe spoils. We've been upstairs, under the jjc bed, pouting for forty years because we were pU T. spanked. In the mean time the other kids yy were down stairs cutting watermelons and gjcantaloupes and things and having a good j) time generally. But we, we were going to pj make them sorry, by not asking for anything. We are crawling out from under the bed now, with a grin on our face, look out for ^ us! We're forty yearB behind and hungry! a|] We want publio buildings, we want lands QQ drained and reclaimed, we want a better gt commerce, we want many things that we can ^ j get, and will get, If we go at It right. Let's aj, keep the grin on our face. The fellow that jWears a grin gets more than the one with a /own. Tbe Monumeut. The foundation for the monument has been finished. It makes a substantial pedestal, and is situated di. rectly in the middle of tbe square, and will be visible from all parts of the f square. The foundation is a good one, being ch constructed of heavy rock and con- ?f crete* Mr. J. A. Millwee, who has seen the thi ahaft at the marble yard, pronounces ret it a very beautiful one. He thinks it f?ri is the best design of the kind he has ^ yet seen. mi The military band from Charleston Ce will furnish music for the occasion.

The Sirio struck a rocky reef known s Bajos Hormigas and sank soon after, tern first. Hormiga9 Island lies bout two and a half miles to the eastward of Cape PaloS. The Sirio was owned by the Navigaione Italian of Genoa. Before be committed suicide, the aptain declared the steamer had 545 lassengers on board, and the crew lumbered 127 men. The Sirio had 171 lassengers when leaving Genoa, but dditional Spanish passengers were aken on board at Barcelona, where the essel touched a few hours before the isaster.
