Editor Probably a description of a Ashing excursion undertaken by a few of Our villagers on tbe eve of June, willdocbrest some of your readers, or rather be a lesson to those who would like to embark hereafter. On said day about Uiree p. in., a party.of aiileft town to meet one Mr. Fisherman who had promised to teach them the mode of catching and eating flsb. Well, they lauded first on the Outskirts of the swamp at Mr. Fisherman’s dwellieg, but did not find him as per agreement; but were instructed to continue on their journey to the lake, where they would doubtless meet up with him. After landing at said lake and going through all the usual duties incumbent upon fishing excursionists, such as digging bate, cutting wood, building fires, singing songs and hollowing generally, the party quietly sat down to await the coining of aforesaid Fisherman. About 8 o’clock at night Mr. Fisherman not having turned up, It was suggested that a few ash poles bo cut and fishing lines tied thereto, and that the same should be baited with fat bacon and set out for catfish. In a few moments after Urls 4t was suggested that suppe# should be commenced, whether there was fish caught or not. ' Well, the corn meal was mixed up with lake water, and the bacon was fried ; alter which all was called up ; but before grace was allowed to be said, it was suggested that the whole pany take a little corh first, aud by a unanimous vote the chemical Was imbibed, next the supper, that fish supper, corn bread and fried bacon. The meal being over, all hands thought it best to fish a little, but one who said it wau no use as "our mans vill soon be here ; ” and as the party looked upon said speaker ns sort of boss and fortune-teller combined, there was no fishing done. But soon tbe aforesaid boss was snugly couched under one of the buggies and snored so loudly that thdowls began to answer him iu the swamp. Arousing him from Ills ahtiober, j i-*t as an owl squeaked, lie ran out from Under the buggy, and said, " dere boys, our mans is coming. Don’t you hero him holler?” Well, after a long time he was persuaded that the noise catho from an owl aud not the Fisherman. After being con vinced, ho remarked, •'Yell, vat dus dis d—n ting costs any way? Let me ze I brings ^ pk meal, 14 lbs bakin and oun dollars rort of coffee and $11 worth of veels dat broke down in town,” and theQ by way of casting stews.” “ Veil den ; bow much? ” “ About a double handful.” "You don’t say so? You dink we can daste de fish ? ” “Iduno, sir, but I speck you can, if they ain’t nil cooked up,” “ Veil, den ve dries it; cum up, boys, and let’s dry do sdew. Oh ! first, lot’s dry some more dat corn fore we eat des eubber.” >Jv 0 And all the hands tried the corn, but not all the supper. Howpver, as soon as supper was finished, the boss struck up the familiar piece, “ Yen der ban bekins to blay, Yen der ban bekios to blay.” All joined tbe chorus ; and on inotfbn it was agreed that the whole party break up tbe fish and go back home, nine miles to travel and three o’clock In tbe morning. The party arrived at homo about day-break, and the boss went off immediately to our town wood workman and was informed, “ Dat dem veels und gosts 15 or 20 dollars,” he says, “the next dime I von’t go a visblng,” and so won’t I. And now in our town there are six wiser men, our German boss—our Trial! Justice and hia constable .and^ com mittee of young merchants!. + I'aftliiouablc Society. I News and Courier.l V k ' ^ • - * Once launched in society, it is the duty of every debutante to make her self as attractive aa possible. The un written law is strict on this point. It is assumed that those within the charmed circle are deeireus of giving a fair equivalent for the entertainment they receive. Nothing, however, will destroy a debutante more effectually than an attempt to appear superior to her surroundings. The way to retain the approbation of society is not always the way that self-respect would dictate, cr true dig nity could follow. To reign a supreme favorite Implies more amiability than most people t^ould care to possess. “ What man is tbefe who offendeth not?” And the woman who attains that degree of perfection Is le&s sensi tive or more accommodating than one need desire to be. Extreme forbear ance is bad in anybody, however charming it may be from asocial point of view. It is the duty of woman to cultivate a sharp tongue" and fiery scorn for everything that is base, indeli cate and irreverent. The popular fijj vorlte, by reason of'UiA office^ rffust contrive not to see unpleasant things If she succeeds, she will retain the crown, but her success will be no es pecial credit to her. It was secured by the sactiflce of something far better and more valuable. Perhaps the saa- Mest fate that can befall a young per son is popularity, ihe idol consider ed rhofct worthy of ancient I'eVerehce was too holy to be profaned by com mon eyes much less by common touch. Contrasting the slights, humiliations, annoyance aud hcart-borninge of the most fortunate of social toilers with the serene life of those who are con tent to shed their light on something better than socifety, it becomes a mar vel that candidates for social honors should ever be found. . The best wo man is tbe ene of whom least is known, aud wh is consequently least discuss ed. Aud the beat man is one vj^ose dignity and self-respect keep the host of idlers at a distance where they can respect his worth, if unable to appre ciate it. Breakdown ttfe barriers and the crowd of fools will be increased by one more. Let a woman seek social ( are sometimes heard dUfCusping the means o.f saving china, carpets^ and furniture from, the ruin which awaits these household gods at the hands of the geatlemon 1 who will certainly aboee the hospitality they accept. In such circles, even the presentation in society of a young girl Is not unfre quentiy celebrated by "B*. In the end, is a disgusting orgy, Prudent house wives talk of covering their carpets or hiring a public ball for the-occasion; but W rarely occurs to them that it would be still wiser to procure appro priate substitute# for their innocent daughters. No solicitude Is shown on that score. Girls must hat# " society,” and young men will get'druhk, and the sooner any squeamiShcpse is over come, the better it will be|»r the com fort of ail parties! To discriminate between drunk and sober is to court Social ostracism. The worldly-wise toother holds that it is to toler ate the Inconvenience of an occasional debauch, than to lose a I4r,ge portion of her visiting circle. \ q , What can be expected from a creed which teaches that society is the nll- essentiai thing, and that it# morals are immaterial? What hope is theie for the pjrre in heart, or for the voluntari ly depraved, who are taught alike that society is ths-wupreme eilt of life, and then learn, by observatiotfj that socie ty means studied Laud and «. U u gilded corruption ? And this i# tbe a social deiiy to which women aw taught to sacrifice themselves, and for which men court eham© and disgrace! There is a doss of bunsless young men who are hardly less ,treprehensi ble than bold sinners. These affect fe«ta!lN of' the If all Murder. On the morning of June 11, Mrs. Jane L. DeForrest Hulj, wife of Dr. Alcaao Hull, of No. H9 West Forty-second street, New Yoek. was found dead in her bed-room. HI is bound hand and foot, her feet being tied ouo to each side of the bed wUh#U^£»«f sheeting. Her hands were tied tightly at the wrists and .crossed over the bleant. There was a piece of,sheeting over her mouth tied at th® back of her bead, and she was blindfolded. A trunk beside the bed was open and bad been rifled of its most valuable contents, while the rest of them were left scat tered about the room. She bad evi- dentlj^dled by violence after her em erald and diamond ringa ij^dbeen torn from her fingers. The hotTO she lived in wa»a four-story stone one, set in a block of handsome buildings in its rare style of architectuie. Mrs. Hull leased the house and kept lodgerfl. The dis covery of her death was made just be- for 7 o’clock by Nancy Francis, the colored cook, who slept on the top floor with the chambermaid, Nellie West. They got up at ^bout tbe same time and lit tbe fire in the kitchen. Presently Nancy went up stairs to get her instructions from her mistress for the day. As she reached the top of ■the stairs she noticed that tbe front door was open, but she did not appre hended anything wrong, till she went into the front parlor and found the folding doorfl open.

Air. Fisherman not having put in an ap pearance up to 1 o’clock, it was Sug gested by the boss, “ Dat we cook au- nudder subber.” Just at that time their cook who was trying to catch a Cat-fish, fell into the river, so the boss called out, "You Shim, you come rite away out dat ilaoe aud cook us anud- der subber, ve ho# got aldready 2 lull woggles our oun shack vish und you meks up a sdew rite away—rite away, you hear dab” Well, Jim cut 2„q, lb*, fat bacon and pat tbe meat to boiling ; after which he soaldsd the cat-fi#bj»nd jack in the same way and mixed the same with the boiling bacon.

It Is unnecessary to say that the desired object is found in tbo person of an ineXperiPficetl giL, or of a mature ond who happen# to have no inconvenient big brother. .Embarrass ment, Igeorrtuce, and the; fear of of fending, have led many women to sub-* mit to what they |$now to be an hnper-' tiuence,,. There is an aoupodiug scale, Bbe who- peunits a familiar address will not 1 be savage if Aer hand Is touched.

And if he can approach her without reverence, something of her holiness has gone froth her. Lastly, whether the meaning is plain or not, it is well to impress on every gir l that while " kiss i» the aurora of love,” it is also unquestionably " the sunset of chastity.” If women only knew their worth there would be fewer tragedies to re cord. Suppose that, as a aacmi sis* terhood, they refused to recognize the ma# who was fuLe to hio^^ter self, or was false to one of theff own num ber 1 How long would the scandals and outrages of society, or privat# life, exist? It may be urged that tbe erection of any rigid standard of mor- aliiy and propriety wbuld deprive its advocates of that sine qua non, a pro posal. The uniuiated thay fear this. But among men it is an open ffocret that nothing so much incites than as a seeming obstacle to his lordly will Remove it, and the most witching wo man loses the secret of her enchant ment.

Taken at its best, it is a pitiful king dom over which society reigns. What ever is mean flourishes, its baseness concealed under smooth conventional ities. YY hatever is good and true fails to please, unless accompanied by mere tricious graces. The typical m^n Of society are those whose record k would not be proper to mention in the presence of the fair women who con tend for\heir approbation. Whatever the reason, it is certain that the belle of society may wttbet away ouplucked, wbil# the humble wall flower i# select ed as the one best adapted to create and preserve a happy Lome. But how ever valu or silly faehlohable women may be, th# poorest among them is only too good for the class of toeo surrounding them.

There was a pillow on a sofa by a window, both sWes of whjch were bloody. A dark dtVss of a thin texture and a light t-hawl both of which belonged to Mrs. Hull, were wrapped around her throat, but not tightly. These and the bed clothes, as well as ber hair, were siturated with cologne and water, from which It is in ferred that her assaiDnta bat’not in tended to tnhrder her, and had made an effort to revive her. Both eyebrows were singed. Her lingers were badly torn In the act of pulling oil her rings, but not enough to account for the blood on ths pillow, and there was not a spot of blood oh ber body or on the bed clothes. It looked as if the blood; which had probably come from her nose and ears, had been washed off, and the pillow removed. Everything about tbe room Indicated that Airs, Hull, who was a stout, portly woman. weighlBg fully three hundred pounds, had made a struggle. Her gold watch and chain, a mosaic ring on which was a full length portrait of a dancing girl, two solitaire diamond rings, a pair of cameo ear-rings, and a set of amber jc*e ry, except the buttons, were car* ried xway. Th# greater part of these were in a cabinet in the dining room adjoining. On tbe top of this Cabinet were some eighteen large pieces of sil ver plate, which were not disturbed. Capt. 'Williams was summoned from tbe station house, and he, with detect ives, made a search of the house and questioned the inmates, but failed to get any valuable Information. Mrs. Hull was last seen alive on the previoud night at 11 o’clock, when she had been playing whist and chatting cheerfully wbh her buffband and some friends who had called upon them. A colored Cook who had been in the service of the Hulls about seven months had been discharged about six weeks befcffV, after a violent quarrel with Mrs^ Hull. The detectives are looking after her, though her residence is not known. A Bedlington terrier dog to which Mrs. Hull W:is very much attached, had been poisoned about three weeks be fore the murder. Airs. Hull was about 58 years old,-the daughter of Lawrence DeForrest, an old Broad street dry goods merchant. She was married to Dr. Hull when she was 16, and the union has apparently always been a happy one. Not lotg after ber marriage she visited England with her husband and was presented to Queen Victoria. She was then young lady of extraordinary beauty. She was in fate life a member of the Sorosls club, and fot many years took an active part fn all measures looking to the advancement of women in the social or rather professional scale. She Was also fond of literature, and a literary #oclety was for several years • \VA*hlngb>»1# filled wilh beggar*, <tld and young, black and white, male and female. Strangers are easily gulled by them, but not so ihe old stagers. These pests pipe ihe same tunes. They want “ a penny to buy a loaf of bread,” to " help mother out of a sick bod.” The whole system is a lying one and ohght to be abated by the police. Now and then, perhaps, a really needy person Is refused, but not often. There is much rhlsery and hun ger, but it is silent and proud. The other day I met a friend of old times, who had not had a morsel of food la fotty-elght hours, and kneW not where to lay his head. In other times he had held conspicuous posts In tbe ser vice of the United and Confederate States. At the end of the war he pos sessed 9200.000 In gold, but was swind led out of It. Now he often wants bread and is seeking employment of a menial kind around the Capitol. I oould mention other cases, sadder even than this, but it is not necessary to do so.

Corbin on Judge Mackey; I-ynCk I.arr in Mparinnburg;, At twelve o’clock on Monday night a body of one hundred and fifty armed men entered Spartanburg on horse back and proceeded to the jail where they demanded John Moore, a prison er committed for the outrage and mur der of Miss Fannie Heaton, on the 5th Inst. Sheriff Thompson, having been warned that an attempt would be made to lynch the prisoner, bad re moved him to the Air Lino Railroad, about a mile from io*n, intending to board the northern bound train and reach Columbia, but be bad been watched, and before the train arrived, the lynchers secured Aloore and took him to tbe scene of the murder, near Welford, twelve mile# distant, where they hung hung hira at ten o’clock on Tuesday. The lynchers bad given no tice on Monday night that the hang ing would occur at ten o'clock on Tues day, and six hundred persons were present. Moofe made no confession, but maintained a stoic indifference to tbe end.—Lexingtoff Dispatch. Rough on John Shkiiman. —Talk about " nepotism " under Grant; but just make John Shertoan President of the United States, and the true mean* log, not only of the word but of tb# system which It represents, will be un derstood. it will be not nephews only but his "sisters and bis cousins and his aunts.” In the early period of tbe war, while Sherman was Senator, he got etery male relative be had on earth placed oh the pay-roll, and when the war was over there wasn’t one of them among tbe killed, wounded or missing.—St. Louie Globe-Democrat. - In a letter received recently AIL Cor bin answers tbe remarks of Judgtf Mackey, as follows : I thank you for the newspaper #lip containing Judge Mackey’s remarks: I bad seen them before. It is hettalnly not pleasant fur any one to receive tb# delkato attentions of a polecat, as ait that can be done Is to bury your clothes, fumigate your pefsoh and cleanse your self bfefore ^ou can again endure your self or society can endure you. You will gain nothing by retaliating apod the polecat, becaus# his stench is the greatest of all stenches, and the less you have to do with him the better yod are off. Judge Mackfey is the worat polecat I ever met. I had occaelou once in 1869 to help kick him out of of tbe CUy’Councll of Charleston Tot attempting to murder one of hi# fellow- aldermen in hie seat—while Che C>oalJ- cll was in session be fired three shot# at him—and he has never, ceafied sloop then to throw his polecat stench at me. I never pay any attention to him, as even In South Carolina he 1# an out law and outcast In eodety. I could not have anything to do with him with out belittling myself. A charge of powder would be waited on him, as, like tbe sickening animal I have com pared him to, would only more completely contaminate th? atmo sphere around him.
