VOLUME IX.-_NUMBER 2070 CHARLESTON, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 18^2._EIGHT DOLL4HS A YEAR. A SWEEPING CHALLENGE FROM ALPHA OF COUNTIES. ?he "First County In the.Stace" Her Banter to tn? Commonwealth Glorious Times at the Abbeville Fair [FROH OtTB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ABBEVILLE C. H., November 1. Were I to speak simply my feelings for glorious old County of Abbeville, I would sav three oheers and. an encore. She stands the alphabetical bead, and Justly deserves position agriculturally amongst the sister hood of counties. Let each speak for them selves. Abbeville banters the Slate at Columbia Fair of 1873. She ventures to as ' sert she can show at that time more well stock, better samples of field crops, splendid specimens of the handiwork of fair daughters, better horsemen amongst sons, and prettier women amongst daughters than any county lu the State. What county will accept the banter ? Messrs. Editors, why don't you attend or eead representatives to our county fairs ? Ton would meet with a welcome, and you would experience an honest hospitality no where else, and at no other time administered in or outjjf the State. And then, too, yon would "rub against white folks" all the time, ?or though, politically, we are shrouded lu dark ness most of the time, this all becomes dis pelted at our fairs, because they call out the people, and "by the people," I mean those who lately stayed at home when the political elec? tions failed to excite Interest enough to bring them ont. Be sure to come to our lair next fall, for we Intend to show you how a man can run when he is tied up in a bag, and who can slip down the greased pole the quickest, and will leave for yon to Judge who ls the best rider, for really every man and boy In the county rides so well, he thinks the world can't beat him. You should have been here during the past week. Kentucky's best were here, both man and hone, and yet Abbeville held her own with both. Canada waa represented, but "shoo fly, don't bodder" Abbeville. Two year old oolts that Kentuckians thought "hard to beat in Lexington;" sucking colts that the world couldn't beat; three year olds that . would do credit to any country, and so on tin yon reach the "two-forty nags," were scat? tered all over the grounds. And then walk around that romantic spot where the babbling brook supplied maa sind beast with Nature's purest beverage, (and sometimes art helped Ute draught amazingly,) and you could never lack for the sight of a be a util ul animal. The stately Durham, the beautiful Devon, the nimble Brahmin, the sterling Ayreshlre and the bardy scrub were all there. And sheep I Why yon should have seen them. Wool as floe as silk, horns as long as your arm, and rams as ugly aa the-. Yes, you know what I mean. Well they were all there. And the beautiful Berkshires, the compact Essex, the bardy grades of the coarse-hatred native, rooters, were as thick as could be desired. ' . , Bot. why dwell solong on the stock ? Let j os look into, the "Floral Hall," and what do j we see ? Is It flowers ? Not much, but bales I _cuy cotton and native hay, and clover hayM, and pea-vine hay, and wool/and lots of j bushels of every kind of grain that was ever IJ grown anywhere in the worid,it seemed to me. I j And thea up-stairs-roast pig, bolled ham, I ' batter, bread, cakes, Jellies, Jams, fruit and I ? wine. Doa't lt make your mouth water' n Why it was a sort o? Noah's Arie in the house- 11 bold department. Nowhere did I see de-1' flclenoy until I looked for the handy-work o? 11 the tiny Angers of the women of Abbeville. The tatting and twisting and knitting, and I quilts and couaterpanes, &c., ftc, were not-l so numerous as heretofore; and why not ? I could not tell, unless it was tbatTtheladles I were more interested In the outdoor sports I than the display of their own labors, for I j beard a venerable lady say, "Ob, if I was only I a man and was rich, I would own the finest horses Ut tba world." I could not blame her, however, for she made the remark when ten boys, the oldest not fifteen and the youngest not twelve, were riding for a premium. Oh, I wish you could have seen that display. Every one of them on a horse supplied by I mme of oar Kentucky friends or other exhlb-1 itors7 and yet the Utile fellows rode like Comanche Indian?, and with more grace than the Dake of Wellington. Th? committee could not decide to whom to give the pre- j mlum, so oat of their owa purses they con- J tributed enough to award a premium to each I of the. tea contestants, giving* the first to I Master David Aiken, son of our president. Bight here let me make a correction in an editorial of yours last week. You reported Colon el Aiken as our president. He was pres? ident for three years, but during the past year Captain P. IL Bradley has been our president, and last olght Colonel Aiken was again elect ed, and the board of directors revised so as to get our best working men on the list; and now the association sets out with a prospect ot be lng In a few years an institution that will de clare a dividend to its stockholders, beside I giving them the privilege of exhibiting all articles free of cost, and attending (he fairs with their lam liles without money and without price. Can't I induce yon to take stock ? Many of the successful contestants who re-1 oelved premiums amounting to ten dollars j declined taking them, and asked for scrip en- I titling them to one share of stock in the com- I pany, this stock being worth ten dollars per I share. This ls a capital procedure, for lt will I most assuredly build up the Institution, and make its^tock la a few years demand a pre-1 mlum. i . These people certainly have a splendid conn try, and they seem to know lt, for I seldom meet a man that wants to emigrate. They I seem to think Abbeville ls the spot. And I doubt If they are not correct ia their judg? ment, for surely 1 have never met, nor have you, a flaer body of mea ead a prettier collec-1 tlou ol women than congregate here during fair week. I hope at the next fair in Ootober, 1873, THU "NEWS will be represented here in I propria persona, and then you can speak for I yourself, even if you be like the boy the cow ran over-have nothing to say. Yery truly, A. C. H. j THE CLOSE COMMUNION QUESTION. BOSTON, November 4. At a conference of the Baptist clergy of Boston and vicinity to-day, a committee on olese communion reported, first, that Chris? tian baptism consists In the Immersion of the believer In water la the name ol the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and ts a profession of bis faith in Christ ; second, that Christian churches ought to be composed of such regenerate par? sons only as have been baptised on profession of their faith In Jesus; third, that the Lord's Supper ought to be observed by Christian churches only; fourth, that the Invitation of courtesy to partake of the emblems should be given to none but orderly members of churches properly constituted.

THE LAST AHB MOST CHARMING OF THE ARTHURIAN IDYLLS. Gareth and Lynette! Tbe growth of Tennyson's greatest work, lo the field of narrative rather than emotional poetry, has been one ot many years. The end of the last decade Baw the first of the "Id jilt of the Klug," and to-day the last of this series of Arthurian romances completes the cycle. "Gareth and LyDette" does not follow In order. "Guinevere" bas already ended the serle?, and "The Last Tournament" has been interjected. This Idyll follows "The Coming of Arthur," where it finds an appropriate place as an episode of the palmy days of the Bound Table, when honor and purity existed unsullied In Camelot, and when - out of bower and casement shyly danced Eyes of nure women, wholesome stars of love; And all about a healthful people stept As lu the presence of a gracions king. The poem not only shows no sign of flag? ging interest or waning power in the narra? tor, but ls as fresh In Incident, as rioh In laney and more free from all trace of over? strained sentiment than most of the others. It also is written in a brighter and livelier mood. The severe laureate seldom designs to make his readers smile; but his picture of the fair and mocking Lynette ls as mirthful as lt la charming, and Kay, the grumbling old seneschal, 1B an excellent comedy character. The story ls not weighted with any of those moral problems that Tennyson sometimes broods over In his verae. It veils no metaphy? sics and opens up no vistas of speculation; but tells directly, though with much beautiful Illustration, the tale ol a bright and good boy whose sole thought and desire ls to become a knight of Arthur's court. Gareth was the son of Belllcent, a widow. He was of noble lineage and full of courage and ambition. Having long entreated his mother in vain lor permission to leave their quiet castle and to seek service with the king, she at last con? sents, provided Gareth will submit to one con? dition which she ls to impose, and that ls that he shall go disguised to Arthur's hall and bire ilmseif to serve as a kitchen scullion for a pear and a day. Nor 1B he to tell bis true lame to any one during that lime. The poor mother hopes that her boy's pride will revolt rom such a condition, but he accepts it and raes to Camelot. . There, ascending to the jreat audience chamber, he finds the king surrounded by his knights and sitting in Judg? ment. Tbe scene is strikingly portrayed, and ive extract a portion of lt: Then Into hall Gareth asocndlng heard s. velen, the voice of Arthur, and beheld Far over heads in that long-vaulted hall The splendor of the presence of the Ring Throned, and delivering dcom-and look'd no more Jot felt his young heart hammering In bis ears, ind thought. "For this hair shadow of a lie The truthiul Biog will doom me when I speak." Then came a widow cry lag to the King, 'A boon, air Ringi Thy father, Other, reft rrom my dead Iori a titi I with vt lenee; "or howsoe'er at first he proffered gold, i et, for the field was pleasant In our eyes, Ve yielded not; and then he reit us or (t ?errorce, and left us neither gold nor new." Said Arthur, ?'Whether would ye? gold or Hold ?" ?o whom the woman weeping, "Nay, my lord, ?he field was pleasant In my husbaud's eye." And Arthur, "Have thy pleasant Held again, ind thrice the gold for Ut h er's use t??feof,_. Lccordlng to the years. No boou ls here, -- > int justice, so thy say be proven true, icoursed, who ?roui i hs wrongs his lather did rVoul J shape himself a right l" And while che past, jame jet. ano'her widow crying to him. 'A boon, Slr Kin ii I Thine enemy, King, am I, ?Vlth thine own hand thuu sie weit my aear lord, L knight of Other tn the Baron?' w.tr, When Lot and many another rose and rought vgaio?t thee, saying thou wert basely born, held with these, a id loathe to ask thee aught, iet lo I my husband's brother had my son Thralled lu bia castle, and hath starved him dead; ind Btaudeth seized of that inheritance ?Vhlch i bon that aleweat the aire hast left the son, 3o tho' I scarce can ask lt thee for hate, jrant mo aime knight to do the battle for me, . ii. l the foul t hier, and wreak me for my son." Then strode a good knight forward, crying to him, 'A boon, Slr King l I am her kinsman. L 31ve me to right her wrong, and slay the man." Then came Slr Kay, the seneschal, and cried, <A boon, Slr King ' ev'u that thou grant her none, This railer, that hath m ck'd thea in fall ball sone; or the wholesome boon or gyve and gag." But Arthur, "We alt, Ring, to help the wrong'd Thro' ail our realm. The woman loves ber lord, toace to thee, woman, with thy loves and hates I The kings or old had doomed 'nee to the flamen. Aurelius Emrya would have scourged thee dead, ind lither slit thy tongue, but get thee hence ?est that rough humor of the kings or old letun? upoa me I Thou that art her kin, Jo likewi-e; lay him low and slay him not, But bring him here/that 1 may Judge the right, according to the jubt ce of the King; Then, be ne guilty, by that deathless King rVho lived and died for men, the mau ahau die." And many another suppliant crying came ?Vlth noise of ravage wrought by beast and man, tnd evermore a knight wonld ride away. Last Gareth, leaning both hands heavily Down on tho shoulders or the twain, his men, ipproaoh'd between them toward the King, and "A boon, sir King (lils voice was all ashamed,) For see ye not how weak and bungerworn l Beem-lean in if on these ? grant roe to serve Por meat and drink among thy kitchen knaves A twelvemonth and a day, nor seek my name, Hereatter I will fight." To him the King, "A goodly youth, and worth a goodlier boon I But an thou wilt no goodlier, tuen must Kay, Ibe master OL the meats and drlnka, be thine." Gareth's life among the kitchen louts was by no means an agreeable one; and Kay, out ol sheer perversity, made lt all the harder. But the youthful spirit was not disheartened, and every menial duty was thoroughly performed. Meantime his mother repents ot the hardship she has put upon her son, and sends him arms and frees bim from his promise. Thereupon Gareth goes straightway to the king and con? fesses the slight deceit that he has practiced, bul begs the king's forgiveness and permission to go upon the next knightly quest that shall offer; but he begs the king to still regard him as a menial until such time as he shall have proved himself worthy to be a knight. The request Is granted, and soon after, at an au? dience in the council hall, the young and beau? tiful Lynette comes to beg of the king that Launcelot may be sent to free her Bister, the lair Lyonorn, who 1B shut up in Castle Peril our, where "a river runs injtbree loops about her living-place," each passage guarded by one of three formidable brothers, with a fourth, more terrible, In possession within the walls. Gareth claims the quest, and, in pursuance of the promise, but to the intense disgust und indignation of Lynette, who sees in bim only a kitchen knave, lt ls assigned to bim. They ride away, Lynette disdaining his company and ridiculing his pretensions with fierce re Tilings. At last they come to where the first of the hostile knights ls stationed: Then to the shore or one of those long loops Wherethro' the serpent river coli'd, tbey came. Rough .; hi cte ted were the banks and steep; the stream Full, narrow; this a bridge of single arc Took at a leap; and on the fur- her aide Arese a si ken pavilion, gay with gold In streaks and ray*, and all L>-nt-li.y m hue, Save that tl e dome was purple, and above, crimson, a Blender banneret fluttering, And theretofore the lawless warrior paced Unarm'd, and caning, "Damsel, ls thia he, The chaTplon ye have brought from Arthur's hall? For whom we let thee pasi." "Nay, nay," she said, "Slr norning star. The King In utter scorn Or thee and thy mnch folly hath aent thee here His kitchen-knave; and look thou to thyself: See that he fall not on thee suddenly, And slay thea nnarm'd: he is not knight, but knave." And he that bore The star, being mounted, cried from o'er the bridge, "A kitchen-knave, and sent io scorn of me l Such fight not I, bat answer scorn with scorn. For thlB were ?hame to do bim further wrong Tnan cet bim on bia feet, an J take ma home And arms, and so return him to the King. Come therefore, leave thy lady lightly, knave. < Avoid: for lt beseemed not a knave To ride with each a lady." "Dog, thou Heat. I spring from loftier lineage than thine own." He spake; and all at Aery speed the t * o Shock'd on the central bridge, and either spear Bent but not brake, and diner knight at once, Hurl'd as a stone from out of a catapult Heyond his horse's crupper and the bruise, Fell, as If dead: but quickly rose and drew, And Gareth lash'd so flercelyi%lth bis brand He drave his enemy backward uown the bridge, The damsel crying, " Wefi-strioken, kitchen knave I" B Till Gareth's shield was cloven; but one stroke Laid bim that clove lt gro veiling on the-grtund. Then cried the rall'n, "Take not my life; I yield.? > And Gareth, "So t his a am sel ?sk lt of me, Good-I accord lt easily as a ?race." She reddening, ' Inaoient scuMoa. I of thee? I bound to thee for any favor aak'd l" 'Then sball he die." And uaretu there unlaced Hts helmet as to slay htm, bnt ano sbrlek'd, "Be not do nardy, scullion, as to slay One nobler than th y sel r." "Damsel, thy charge u an abounding pleasure to me. Knight, Thy lire ls thine at her command. Arise And quickly pass to Arthur's hall, and say His kltchen-knavehath sent thee. See thoo crave His pardon for thy breaking of his laws. Myself, when I return, will plead for thee. Thy shield ls mine-farewell; and, damsel, thou Lead, and I follow." [r Lynette now begins to'think better ol her champion : "Methought, Knave, when I watched thee striking on the bridge, The Ka vor or thy kitchen came upon me A little tain tiler; but the wind hath changed : i scent lr. twenty-fold." And tnen she sang, "0 morning star, that amliejt in the blue, 0 star, my morning dream hath proven true, Smile sweetly, thou I my l J ve hath amded ou me." This song of Lynette ls 'one of those dainty lyrics that Tennyson Is sq* fond of Incorporat? ing in his narrative poems. It ls charmingly Intercalated with remarks which show the gradual decadence of disgust In Lynette's mind, and the slow growth of admiration and of .love. - Thus, when the second brother, calling himself the "Noonday Bun," ls over? thrown In a combat in mid-stream, Lynette sings, Interspersing her verses with remarks depreciatory of Gareth : " '0 Sun' (not this strong fool whom thou,'slr Knave, Hast overthrown thro' mere unhappiness,) .0 Son. that wakenrst all wjaitss or pam, 0 moon, that layest all to sleep again, Shine sweetly-twice my love hath smiled on me.' " I '. "What kno west thou of love song or of love? Nay. nay. God wot, so thoa we: t nobly born, Thou bast a plea*ant presence. Tea, perchance " '0 dewy no were that open to the sun, 0 dewy flowers that close when day ls done, Blow sweetly-twice my love bath emited on me.' "What knnwest thou of flowers, except belike. To garnish meats with? Hath not our good King, Wno lent me mee, the flower of kltchendom, A foolish love tor flowers? What stick ye round The pasty ? Wherewithal dook the boar's head ? Flowers ? Nay, the ooar hath rosemaries and bay. " '0 birds that warble to the morning sky, 0 birds that warble as the day goes by, Sing sweetly-twice my love hath tinned on me.' " " 'What knowest thou of birds, lark, mavis, merle. ~~ - - i^.--? What, dream ye whan th?y utter forth Ma - -music growing with the grow og light, Tn el r sweet son-wu rv hi p ? These be for the snare, (So rnna thy fancy.) these bs for the spit, Larding and basting." But when the third champion Is vanquished, Lynette Bings her third canticle and accepts Gareth as a worthy knight: "I lead no longer; ride thou at my side; Thou art the kingliest of all kitchen-knaves. " '0 trefoil, sparkling on the rainy plain, 0 rainbow, wltn three colors after rain, Shine sweetly ; thrice my love bath smiled on mc.' It ls only when Gareth Bleeps in the mysti? cal cavern, to gather strength for the final combat with the last guardian ot the Lady ot 'Lyonore, that Lynette allows her heart to speak. The scene and the words are among the best passagee ol the poem: Nigh upon that hour When the lone hem rorgaia his melancholy, Lets down bis other leg, and stretchlog dreams V Of goodly t upper in the distant pool, Then tarn'd the noble damsel smillog at him, And told bim of a cavern bud at hand, Where bread and bj ken meats and good red wine Of Southland, which the Lad 7 Lyon ors Had sent her coming champion, waited him. Anon they passed a narrow comb wherein Were alaba of rock with figures, knights on horse Sculp'ured. and deckt lu slowly waning hues, "air Knave, my knight, a hermit once was here, Whose holy hand had fasblon'd on the rock The war 01 Tune against the soul of man. Know ye not these?" and Garethlookt and read In letters like to those the vexlllary Hath left crag carven o'er the streaming Gelt "Poosphoras," then "Merldlea"-"Hesperus" ?Nox"-"More," beneath five figures, armed men, Slab after slab, their facet? forward all, And running down the Soul, a Shape that fled With broken wings, torn raiment and loose hair, For help and shelter to the hermit's cave. "Follow Oie faces, and we find lt. Look, ^ But aU about lt Oles a honeysuckle. #5 Seek, till we find." And when they son g ht and found, Slr Gareth drank and ate, an 1 all his life Past toto sleep, on wbnm the nubien gazed. "Sound sleep be thine ! sound cause to sleep bast thou. Wake luaty I Seem I not as tender to him As any mother ? Ah, bat such a one As all day long hath rated ac her child, And vest hts day, but blesses him asleep Good lord, how sweetly smells the honeysuckle In the bush'd night, as If toe world were one Of utter peace, and Kve, and gentleness I Full merry am I to lind my goodly knave IB knight and noble." It is with the easy defeat ol the sham knight calied Mora, and the feasting In the oaatle of the liberated Lady Lyonore, thal the Idyll closes. As will be seen from the extracts we have made Irom this Idyll, it ls full of delicate landes and noble thought, clothed In language that ls at once elevated and simple. It has the romantic Interest Inseparable irom all these tales of malled warriors falling upon each other In deadly fight. Old as they are, and familiar as ls the paraphernalia of closed visors, rushing steeds, splintered lances, and flashing swords, lhere ls a stirring charm about them that never quite wears efl*. Be? sides, Tennyson has worked out his story quite dramatically, and carries us on with heightening Interest to the close. The poem will be found lull of suggestions for the pencil of the Illustrator, and we are confident will be the most generally popular ol all the Idylls of the King.
