A Weekly Paper Devoted to Temperance, Literature and Polities. VOLUME IL ORANGEBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1875. NUMBER 17. TIM:ELY TOPICS. (i MI nomi's romains hsive hoon laid away in tho gravo, ailor all, unattended by rioting or.diwmlcr of ?ny kind. THE Spanish government has opened a competition for cbuij[iuseni of a national air. Can it ho possible that all this tillie Spain has hoon without a national air? No wonder it is constantly in a slate of distraction. What would this country have hoon without Yankee Doodle? Till', newly arrived daughter of the duchess of Kdinhtirgh increases (?neen Victoria's tally ol grandchildren to twenty-seven, twenty-lour bf whom arc still alive, and that of her total living progeny to thirty-three, including three unmarried children and thc Princess Louise, who is married, but without family. _ W u ION you grumble at hard times and crippled industries, just cast your eyes Over the big water natl look at France, with one. .hundred and twenty-three thousand industrial establishments, and giving work to about one million eight hundred men. At least two-thirds of these are now losing a month's time and wages in order lo drill for a future war. THE explosion and destruction of the ironclad Magenta makes the second vessel ol this kind lost by thc French govern ment within two months. Thc sinking ol' the English vessel Vanguard, within the same period, by the lap of the spur of a neighboring vessel, is beginning to weaken conlitlence in thc durability of i ronch?is. _ IN Michigan's population of 1,300,000 lhere tire (i(>,:i27 more males than females. In Massachusetts lhere aro 60,000 more females than males. Under such circuit!, stances it would seem eminently projier for thc Michigan male surplus lo relieve Massachusetts of her female surplus. Doubtless the Massachusetts women would be more thai) willing. Tun annual report of the commissioner ol' education contains many interesting ot _ :i\oT-1Jfc?T^Thdrol?ro jciir?Tleti* in public schools upwards of S,DO0,U0O pu pils, with an average daily attendance of .1,600,000. Thc estimated population be tween six and sixteen years is 10,500,000. To support these children in school cost last year $74,000,000. TlIE fate of the passengers anti crow of tho City of Waco is yet unsolved. Thc theory that the oil stored on deck ignited from thc lightning and set lire to the vessel, wrapping her entirely in the Haines in a lbw moments, giving tho pas sengers no time lo escape tho awful death, seems thc most probable. If so, it is one of thc most terrible catastrophes of ?the year. _ CANADA has indulged in tho past in sonic exceedingly lofty boasting as to thc superiority of her buildings over those erected on this side of the frontier. Tho bursting of the grain elevator at Belle ville, however, is calculated to check such boasting in tlie future. Thc struc ture was of thc " cheap and nasty" order of architecture, and its fall scattered -10, (5(H) bushels of grain lo the winds anti the pigs. A NOTICE A lit JE thing nlxmt the monthly meeting of thc Massachusetts Total Abstinence Society, held in Boston, was a little speech by William B.S|MX>ner on tho prevalence of drinking among . clergymen, more than one-half of whom, lie said, drink wine. A large majority of thc Kornau Catholic clergy drink; a majority of tho Episcopalian and of his own denomination-thc Unitarian, some of the orthodox and Baptist, but very few ot thc Methodist or Universalist.* THE British commissioner to our cen tennial bas suggested, according lo For ney, that thc permanent buildings of the. exhibilioie'should he kept filled with in teresting objects, contributed each year, ' so that there may he a bi-centennial ready made in Jt?7i>- This would bc a good thing for Philadelphia, perhaps, lint there is no certainty that the rest of the country would find it cither pleasant or profitable. The coming centennial would bc an awful lxire if we had deliberately liegiiu preparing for it a century ago. A little matter of dispute bas caused tho disruption of a powerful Long bland camp meeting ?association. Thc dispute arose frofrt thc setting up of a billiard saloon and howling lilley on the grounds last suinmcr\ Tho advocates of theso sinful games nrWd in vain that they . would attract to\he grounds just thc class which riccdcuVost thc spirit of ti camp meeting. Their, opponents would not listen, but seceded and have formed another association. THERE is considerable discussion and difference of opinion as to how rapidly fish grow. A recent letter from England says that a salmon weighing eighteen pounds was caught in iiic Severn, wear ing a silver label. This was identified and proved the tish to bc one which was caught six months before and returned tn the water. At tho tillie it weighed niuo pounds. That is, it lind gained a pound and a half for a month, or nearly au ounce a day right along. VAI.MAKKDA lias origuitinted a new method of squeezing money out of the loyal in Cuba in order to provide, one nf the recently arrived regiments with horses. He has decreed that a "sacred contribution" of Ki per cent, on each individual's taxes in Havana must forth with he handed in. As all the money necessary lo pay the bills for thc subju gation of the Cuban insurgents must come out of Cuba, Spain contributing little or nothing, through inability to do so, the arrival of 8,000 troops must strike dismay into thc hearts of the most loyal of Alfonso's subjects and create much dissatisfaction. COCOA difiere widely from tea and collei*, in being a food or I lesli former, while they are rather condimenta and stimulants. One-half the weight of co coa consists of fat, and 20 per cent, of albuminoid material, whereas milk con tains 3.5 per cent, of fat, and 1 per cent, of albuminoid material; beef contains 2.87 per cent, of fat, and 20.75 of album inoid mittler; and wheat contains 1.2 per cent of fat, and l l.(5 per cent of album inoid material. In addition, cocoa con tains starch,.which is absent in milk and beef, and present in but a small propor tion in wheat. A Huston merchant, who imports near ly all the gutta percha which enters the United States, writes to the Scientific American to say Hutt "the only region of production thus far discovered is thc East India islands in the immediate vi cinity of Singapore." Thc principal use made of gutta percha is for insulating -t'?lrftgsoj/,? - ?ix.^K^-ami Mr'~"c^menting. India rubber is collected in localities all around the globe between thc tropics. The best conics from the banks of the Amazon river. Brazil produces annually about 14,000,000 pounds, and the Central American States, Africa, and the E.st Indies together about 15,000,000 pounds. The consumption of Bulbi rubber is about equally divided between the United States and Europe. Tl IK report of thc commissioner of ed ucation furnishes sonic statistics which are a fair test as showing the activity of Ihe various religious denominations in" the .matter of theological education. Thc Catholic, church leads with 18 seminaries, 144 professors, 1,2.'5S students. Thc Bap tist denomination has Ki schools, 53 pro fessors, and G38 students; thc Presby terian has 15 schools, with 74 professors and (il7 students; the Lutheran church, 13 schools, 52 professors and 12l> students; the Protestant Episcopal, 12 schools, 56 professors and 204 students; the Congre gational has 8 schools, 50 professors and 892 pupils; thc Methodist Episcopal has 7 schools, 58 professors and .'121 scindais; and the Reformed church has 8 schools, 12,professors and 81? st udents; thc United Presbyterians, Christians, Free Baptists and Methodists have 2 schools each ; and the Unitarians, African Methodist Epis copal, Cumberland Presbyterian, German Reformed, Methodist Episcopal South, Moravian, Swcdenborgian, Union Evan gelical, United Brethren, and Universal isis have 1 each. Respect for Women. Women are at a discount where there is no civilization. Tims it is a notorious fact that among the natives of Africa the fair sex is more honored in tho respect which is shown to tho cow than in that which the heaven-sent companion of man elicits there. Women have nothing lo complain of in this on the score of sex, hut may fairly insist that the particular members of their sex chosen for special hom ti* should be of their own species." The superior respect accorded to cows, loo, is entirely nt variance, with the spirit of modern intelligence; and until the men of Africa reverse, thc present dis tinction against th'e wives of their bosoms ill favor of those who hold a less intimate relation with them, there can he no fa vorable result of missionary enterprise. The difference is merely a zoological one -the difference between a cow and a horse. IL is exceedingly difficult for the missionary to persuado a true disciple of Mohammed that he should degrado his horse in a position in his family inferior lo that of a wife; far more difficult, In fact, than to convince a native African that ho has transposed the proper rela tive positions of thc mother of his chil dren and her too successful rival, the mother of his calves. In changing his field of effort, indeed, from the savage Stupidity of tho negro race to thc keen intelligence of tho Arabic race, the mis sionary finds himself further from, rather than nearer to, the highest civilization.

One of Horace Urcoloy's Old Leiters NKW YORK, July 24, 1857. Riv DEAR Sin: Seeing in tho Tribu n< thc death of your sweet child. whom I st well remember, impelid mo to write yon ii worth I oller no consolation, and 1 need not awuiro you of my sympathy lilli you and your wife arc still yoting ?Hid hopeful, other children will doubt/ less he lent you; and though you wil never (cruet this firstling of thc Hock nor (ail tb remcniher her with a pensive iind chastened sadness, yet you will liv< (o realize even in this state ofbeiiig, hov wisely prcsctent and merciful in UH chastiscnient which " smites lint lo heal.' Let mo give you in this connection ? leaf from my experience. T have had seven children of whon five arc gone. Of three sons none sur vive, and two of them were rcspcctfllllj live and a half and six years of ago whei they were reclaimed. I need not sa) how licautiful and good they were-Un carly called ?ire always tims. When tin first of them died my youth ended. ] thought I could never he so surely hittCI thenceforth. Yet in tine time then came another, not so delicate, so beau ti ful, so poetic ; yet so loving, so lender so devoted to nie, that I thought ! had never been understood before. ] cannot remember that during his si> years' abode with mc he ever wished t( contravene my will. I left, January 14, for that han western tour in brave spirits ?mil (root general health. At Ualesburg nftci leaving you, I had a letter dictated bj him, leaving him in excellent health. I heard no more until I reached Scranton Pa., on my way home, when it telcgrnn reached mo during my lecture, stalin] that he was dangerously ill of croup. 1 hastened home next evening at oighj o'clock only to (ind him dead au hom before, after enduring a severe operatioi and extreme sn Hering. With him i buried my last earthly aspiration. I haw two little daughters, one eight years old and another but four months, bavin; been born since his death, but they art very different from and do not rcplaci him. Did you not menu to see me this sea son'/ Kind regards to Mrs.-. Yours HORACE GREELEY. "Maurie! Conroy." Bret Ilario's first novel begins ns a serial in Scribner's for Novel iber, niul opens with the following description of thc Sierras in winier: Sjiow. Everywhere. As far as tho eye could reach-fifty miles, looking)' southward from the highest while ]>cak. rilling ravines and gulches, and drop ping from the walls of canons in white shroud-like drifts. Fashioning the divid ing ridge into a likeness of a monstrous grave, hiding the. bases of giant pines and completely covering young trees and larches, rimming with porcelain and bowl like edges ol still, cold lakes, and un dulating in motionless white billows to thc edge of the distant horizon. Snow lying everywhere over the California Sierras on tho If?th day of March, IS IS, and still falling. lt had IK'CII snowing for ten days; snowing in fundy granulated powder, ill damp, spongy (lakes, in thin, feathery pinnies {snowing from a leaden sky stead ily, snowing fiercely, shaken out of purple black clouds in white ilocctllent niasses, or dropping in long level lines like while laces I rom the tumbled and broken heav ens, but always silently. Thc woods were so choked with it, the branches were so laden with it; it had so permeated, filled and possesed earth and sky ; it had so cushioned and mu filed the ringing I rocks and echoing hills, that all sound was deadened. The strongest gust, the fiercest blast awoke no sigh or complaint from the snow-packed, rigid files of forest. There was no cracking of bough nor crackle of underbrush ; the over laden branches of pine and fir yielded and gave way without a sound. The silence was vast, measureless, complete. Nor could it bc said that any out ward sign of life or motion changed thc fixed outlines of this stricken land scape. Above there was no play of light and shadow, only the occasional deepening of storm and night. Below, no bird winged its Hight across thc white expanse, no beast haunted the conf?nes of thc black woods; whatever of thc brute nature might lune once inhabited these solitudes had long since flown to thc low lands. There was no track or imprint; whatever foot might have left its mark upon this waste, each succeeding snow fall obliterated all traces or record Every morning the solitude was virgin and unbroken; a million tiny feet had stepped into.the track and filled it up. I And yet, in the center of this desolation, m the'very stronghold of this \griih"for tress", there was thc marie of human toil. A few trees had been felled at the en trance of thc canon, and thc freshly cut chips were but lightly covered with snow. They served perhaps to indicate another tree " blazed with an ax, and bearing a rudely shaped elligy of a human hand, pointing to thc canon. Ilelow the hand was a cq tiaro strip of canvas, securely nailed against thc bark and bearing thc following inscription : NOT I CK. I'apb Conroy's parly of emigrants are lost in the snow ami camped up Ibis canon. Out nf provisions and starving! Left. St. .toe October Mil, 1S17. Left Sall Lake January 1st, 1818.

Thc language of su Hering is not apt to IK: artistic or studied, but ? think that rhetoric could not improve this actual record. So 1 let it stand, even as it stood this IGth day of March, ISIS, half hidden by a thin film ?if damp snow, thc snow whitened hand stiffened and pointing rigidly to the fatal canon like thc finger of death. The Woes of Herzegovina. Thc full text of thc pronunciamento issued to tho European Envoys by the 1 lerzegovian chiefs contains an eloquent statement of tho grievances which lcd them to revolt against their Turkish op pressors. It is brief and concise, but tull of dignity and energy, and forms au indict ment against the cruelty, in justice and oppression of their Turkish tyrants which will command for them the sym pathy of thc whole civilized world, anti the decision that they arc right in taking up arms to free themselves from their miseries. The catalogue of these mis cries is a fearful one. Under pain of being scourged and sent to prison, every cultivator of thc ground must give half his produce, to tho Aga, or official who allows him lo cultivate, and four times a year he must entertain thc Aga, his billowers and horses. Thc owner of a farm in Herzegovina has an agreement with tlie state officials by which he ex acts ten times the amount of rent fixed by the law. Thc Turkish census enu merators let free their own co-religionists, but treble the amount of imposts upon Christians, thus making them' nay not only their own but also the Turkish share of taxes. In litigation, as Chris tian proceeding against a Turk must have two Turkish witnesses, anti if he looses his case bc is thrown into prison. Tho wives and daughters of Christians arc. carried off by Turks and compelled by force to adopt the creed of Islam. If a Christian bears witness against a Turk, he can only live three days. The Chris tian churches oro ptlblicly defiled by the Turks. The Christians pay an eduat ional tribute to thc Sultan,but arc not al lowed to have any schools. Repairs upon the roads must be made liv thc Christians, ?ul tin? Turks ?ire freed from this duty, lt" Turkish troops need horst's, they are taken (rom thc Christians without ro .oinpcnse. If a Turk complains before t tribunal, lt?' can get immediate just icc. If a Christian makes a complaint', he.can not i'd a decision without bribing tho ticlge ten times thc amount of the claim. There is no integrity or justice and no security under Turkish rule. Such is ;i ?rief summary ot their grounds of com plaint. Hopeless as the case of Horwgnvmti may appear, lighting single-handed ?gainst her powerful tyrants, anti ilc ! ?ur red from the active sympathy of Eu ropean nations hy their own prejudices md schemes for national aggrandizement, I is impossible not to admire thc manly ipirit of their statement. They may mil ?vin freedom, hut tiley deserve it. - (Inniges in thc Kurth.. The date of man's appearance on our dobo (to say nothing of the beginning ol' trannie life) will probably ncvorbo aseer ainalile beyond a rude approximation; ?ut this much at any rate is certain, thal f "creation" is to be spoken of at all, t must be taken, not tts a single isolated iel, lint rather as an unbroken series ol' traductions, extending from thc dimmest .asl t<? our time, anti destined doubtless ?? extend beyond ns. Everybody knows, ays tito Westniistor Review, what Hie lature of the record is, everybody knows hat tlie crust of our planet, so far as wc lave sounded it, is composed entirely ol' mid, deposited in gradual successive ;tyers under water ; that these layers brough the slow but constant undula ions of Ute crust, have been upheaved gain, uulatctl to the enormous thickness f sixty or seventy thousand feet ; and inally, thai each deposited ns it harden d, preserved imbedded in thc mud tho hells and bones of creal ti res w hich died t the time of its formation. ?Similar [intuitions arc continuing at present; he soundings made, in the Atlanticocean ireparatory to the laying of tho lelc ;raphie cable, prove that over the whole f the immense area explored (1,(1(10 niles front cast to west, ami about 7<><> niles from north to south) tut exclusively inc chalky mud is being deposited, con isling solely til" thc hard parts of animals rhich have lived and perished in these egioiis.

Let us not smile ncredulously, far greater changes have ?cen wrought than those, and as far as ve can judge, by the same influenci?. When Scotland stood higher than il itands at present, it was covered with icc lescending front the Grampians; later, t became nu archipelago, and marine Mind with shells was spread over the [briner glacial drift ; later still, thc land emerged again, glaciers were reformed, [bongil probably to less extent, and Britain was connected willi the conti nent ; lastly, minor changes separated hihgland from the continent, and Ireland from England. Mullum in Parvo. No legacy is as rich as honesty, linties leave ingratitude to man. Self-trust is the essence of heroism. Light and lust arc deadly enemies. Lian oft. loses 1 M>lli itself and friend. When all else is lost, thc future re mains. Life is the arl of being well deceived. Jealousy dislikes the world to know it. True joy is only hone pul o ul ol' fear A knavish speech sleeps in a foolish car. Laws arc thc sovereigns of sovereigns. Diligence is thc mother ol' good luck. We forgive loo little; forget too much. Hope is a light diet but very stimulat ing. If till were rich, gold would bc value less. Many good purposes lie in thc church yard. Human knowledge is thc parent of doubt.
