HULL AND JOK,
Cam#, dear old comrade, you and I
Will steal an hour from days gone by—
The shining days when life whs new.
And oil was bright wilh morning dew—
The lusty days of long ago,
When yon were Bill and I was Joe.
Your name may flaunt a titled trail,
l*roud as a cockerel's rainbow tail;
And mine as brief appendix wear
As Tam O’Shanter’s luckless marc;
To-day, old friend, remember still
That 1 am Joe and you are Bill.

And grand you look in people's eyes*

In big brave letters, fair to see—
You first, old fellow ! oflthey go!—
How are you, Bill T How are you, Joe ?
You’ve worn the .fudge’s ermined robe:
You've taught your name to half the globe;
You’ve sung mankind a deathless strain ;
You've made the dead past live again ;
The world may call you what it w ill,
Hut you and I are Joe aud Bill,
The chaffing yonug folks stare and say,*

They talk like fellows in their teens!
Mad, poor old boys! That’s what it means"-—
And shake their heads; they little know'
The trobbing hearts ot Bill and Joe.

'WhileJoe sitg smiling at his side;
How Joe in spite of Time's disguise.
Finds the old schoolmate in his eyes—
Those calm, stern eyes that melt and fill
As Joe looks fondly up at Bill.
Ah, pensive schollar, what is fame?
A fitful tongue of leaping flame <
A giddy whirlwind’s ficle gust,
That lifts a pinch of mortal dust;
A few swift years and who can show
Which dust was Bill aud which was Joe?
The w'eary idol takes his stand,
Holds out his bruised and aching hand.
While gaping thousands conic and go—
How vain it seems, this empty show!
Till all at once his pulses thrill;
*Tis poor old Joe’s “God bless you Billl”
And shall we breathe in happier spheres
The names that pleased our mortal cars.
In some sweet lull of harp and song '
For earth-born spirits none too long,
Just whispering of the world below
Where this was Bill and that was Joe ?
No matter; while our home is here
No sounding name is half so dear ;
When fades at length our lingering day.
Who care what pompoug tombstones any ?

DARLINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1869.
NO. 4.
Dunton,
Dantnn, more than any man whom the
French Revolution threw to the surface, renl-
iie* the popular idea of a revolutionists.
In person he was almost gigantic—tall ami
maacular His head was large, and covered
with atiff black hair, and his eyebrows bushy.
His features wore bold and irregular, aud
were by some called ugly, but when lit up
by the fire of his intellect, their coarsuess
disappeared in harmony. His voice was
powerful—iu the outbursts of his oratory,
terrible—and was likened to thunder and a
lion’s roar. Courage, audacity aud power
manifest iu his bearing, and hia career did
not belie bis appearance,
He was born in 175G at Arcis-snr Aube,
of well-to-do farming people, and was educa
ted for a lawyer. He went to Paris to fin
ish his studies and there commenced practice
aau barrister. He sought the acquaintance
ofMirabeau. Camille Desmoulins. Robespierre
Marat and others, notable for their devotion
to revolutionary ideas lived economically
and spent his days in the assembly and his
aighta at the clubs. He ventured to speak,
and the dcserning were not slow to perceive
that io the orator a great power had arisen.
Danton attached himself to the Girondists,
and, says Lauiartin. Madame Roland flatter
ed him but with fear aud repugnance, as a
woman would pat a lion.
Daily he grew in popularity, and with
Marat led the formidable club of Cordeliers.
The Court sought his influence bv bribes, and
in the pride of his strength he exclaimed:
‘shall save the king or kill him !’ The revo
lution, however, was greater than Danton. ‘
He who would live in it or be trampled ■
in its path. After the hasty and sudden j
flight of Louis to Verennes. he advocated
bis dethronement, and declared in the assem
bly that hesitations in pronouncing the
throne vacant, would lie the signal for gen-
■cral insurrection. When Prussia, in 17‘J2
invaded Prance iu vindication of royalty,
And spread terror on every side. Danton, by
bis brave words, gave courage to the nation.
‘Legislators !’ said he, ‘it is not the alarm-can
non that you hear : it is the pat-dr.-c/iari/r
•gainst our enemies. To conquer them, to
burl them back, what do we require ! Huons
Jant ‘If rim<rrrf. • t rnritrr oY / ((loor-v, t(
tmjour* <lc Fuuilacr,: To dare, and again to
dare, and without end todare ” In afew weeks
fourteen republican armies were in the field,
repelling the allied forces with vigor and sue-
ress which set Europe aghast. Tor the kings j
death Danton voted, hut like the A bln- Sieves 1
Assigned no reason. In his defiant style, he
said : ‘The coalesced kings threaten ns ; we •
hurl at their feet, as gage of battle, the head j
of a king-.’
Under tho Revolution, Danton was first ,
n minister of justice, and then president 1
the Committee of Public Safety—a body •>! i
six men, who were in trusted with absolute
executive power, and who theref re bare the
infamy of the Reign of Terror, lo lio
course of events, Jtobespeirre was asoeiic.
Cold, severe, cautious, and uncompromising,
Iu Robespierre’s presence, Dunton’s power
seemed to desert him, as if he were u bird and
Robespierre a snake. Feeling that the con
test was unequal, he resigned office, and,
with his young wife, retired to rural privacy
near his native town of Arcis. In domestic
confidence, he asserted that the reason of his
retreat was horror at the approaching fate
of Marie Antoinette.
Robcspirre was of far too suspicious and
envious a temper to allow an adversary to
escape so quietly. Danton likewise had asso
ciates who keenly felt his absence from the
field of action. He was recalled from Arcis
to Paris. He met Robespierre, aud was ac
cused by him of embezzling the public mon
ey. lie retorted by calling Robespierre a
sanguinary tyrant. This dispute fixed his
doom. His wife and friends urged him to
fiy. ‘Whither fiy !’ answered he. ‘If freed
France cast me out, there are only dongcons
for me elsewhere. One carries not his
country with him at the sole of his shoe.
He heard of the arrest of his friends, aud
that his own warrant was made out, yet he
would uot move, saying: ‘They dare not,
they dare not!’ But he forgot that he had
Robespierre the merciless, the inflexable to
deal with. He was denounced by St. Just
as a traitor, and on the night of the 31st
March, 1764, was orrested. Brought up for
trial on the 2d of April, he was asked by
Fouquier Tinville his name and place of
abode. ‘My name,’ said he, ‘is Danton : a
name tolerably well known in Revolution.
I am thirty-five years old. My abode will
soon be in nothingness, but my name shall
live in the pantheon of history.’ He defend
ed himself with wild and scornful words, but
was silenced on the ground that he was inci
ting the people to revolt. No wituesscs were
called against him, and his own witnesses
were refused to be heard. As a mutter of
course, he was declared guilty.
In prisou he affected indifference. ‘They
think to do without me,’ said he ; ‘they de
ceive themselves. I was the statesman of
Europe. They do not suspect the void
which this head .’caves.; (pressing his cheeks
between the palms of his large bands.) As
to me, I laugh at it. I have enjoyed my
moments of existance well ; I have made
plenty of noise upon earth ; I Lave tasted
well of life—let us go to sleep! In the cart
in which he was taken to execution, he had
thirteen companions, and among them Ca
mille Desmoulins, the sprightliest spirit of
the Revolution, who could not believe that
be would be allowed to die. He wriggled
to get free from the cords which bound him
until his clothes came off. crying at the same
time: ‘Generous people! unhappy people !
you are undone, your best friends are sacri
ficed ! Recognize me ! save me! I am Cam-
ile Desmoulins!’ ‘Be calm, my friend,’
prayed Danton : ‘heed not the wild rabble!’
At the foot of the scaffold, Danton was heard
to ejaculate : O my wife, my well beloved, I
shall □ever seethe more !’—then, in tempting
himself—Danton no weakness!’ He was the
last to suffer. His last words were to Sam
son, the executioner: ‘You will show my
head to the people—it is well worth showing!’
Aa it fell Samson caught the bead from the
basket* and carried it round the scaffold
amidst the howls of the people.
Danton died on the 4th of April, 1794.
Robespierre's triumph was brief: his own
death was soon afterwards.
T'be Bad Mill.
A minister had a miller in his parish who
was very proud oi his mill. It was a very
busy mill, grindinir mid whirring the whole
seven days o tii week, One day the min
ister took his sack of wheat to get it ground
to flour.
“A very fine nill, this.” said the minister
“the best built I ever saw.”
The miller often heard that said, and he
thought it was no more than just.
“But." continued the minister, ‘‘it has one
bad defect
Crops ami lav Dor.
••A de' ■ t ! What air ?” asked the miller
*'‘th 'leal oi surprise in his tone. *
"A very sc.. ns detect.”

Mr. I>HVin.
Some of the incidents attending the arri
val and sojourn of cx-Prcsidcut Jefferson
Davis iu Baltimore, are striking indicative of
the interest and love in the hearts of the
Southern people, that still follow him who is
the impersonation of their “lost cause.”
The Southern people know the unselfish
fidelity with which Jefferson Dsvis sustained
their sacred cause, and they are justly proud
of the unexampled dignity with which he has
represented people, whether as their chosen
ruler, their vicarious martyr, or as an exile
iu foreign climes. Evry courtesy shown
Mr. Davis by foreigners has been gratefully
noted by the Southern people, every distiuc-
t>on, accorded him, is accepted by the South
as an ascription of praise to her own virtues,
of which he is the fitting exponent.
Remember the unflinching, unmurmuring
fidelity with which he demeaned himself
through that four years’ night, and
recalling the bitter hatred and unscrupulous
mendacity with which he was pursued, who
can fail to contrast him with those who were
his accusors. kVhere are the Joe Bown*,

Bro. Martin at Jcirinsalem.
We extract the following interesting para
graph froman article by Bro. Bobert Morris,
in the Evergreen, for March 15th.
One of the most agreeable episodes in ali
my visit hero was an assemblage of Free
masons in the vast quarries that underlie
the northeastern quarter of the city of Jeru
salem, and the opening of a moot lodge there.
This event occurred in the afternoon of
Wednesday. May 13, at 5 o’clock.
A description of these enormous caverns
seems necessary to preface the subject. The
entrance to them is under the city walls on
the north, a short distance to the cast of the
Damascus gate. This opening was first dis
covered about ten years ago by Dr. J. T.
Barclay, author of the celebrated work en
titled “The city of the Great King.” At
that time the entrance was extremely difficult
of access; but when the Prince of Wales was
in this country a few years since, it was made
easier. In fact the matter of entering and
traversing tho entire quarries is now one of
the lightest aud pleasantest parts of the trav
eller’s business in Jerusalem.
A city that has been seventeen times cap
tured, and often partially (and several times
totally) destroyed, has of course drawn im
mediately upon the building material of the
vicinity. Add to this fact that tho native
stone around Jerusalem is friable, and dis
solves rapidly in the open air, and the read
er will understand that somewhere in the
vicinity great quarries must exist. These as
I said are on the north side, and under the
north side, and under the northeast quarter
of the city. On the north side a space of
several hundred feet in width and a quarter
of a mile long, has been quarried to the
depth of twenty-five to fifty feet; while ad
joining those excavations on the south, and
imuediately under the city, there is a cuv-
tbc Cotton Megnra; by us, the grc:i
Ijgn ^unrry t '8uii ft. is her* that we opened
good snpply (if candles,
as
alities, and religions, such as this is. He
professed a willingness to do any part in the
introduction and rc-establishment of the so
ciety here, aud showed how much of tho
misery to which this country has been sub
jected, might have been spared, had freema
sonry existed here during tho differeut crises
of its history.
We separated, and endeavoring to return,
to the entrance through the devious and in-'
terminable passages of that enormous cavorn,
lost our way, and came nigh being compelled
to remain there until our friends would
search for us, the next day. However, by
good fortune, this evil was spared us, and wc
reached tho city gate before it was closed.
The vast quarry thus consecrated by mason
ic forms shows at every point the marks of
the chisel as well defined ns the day the
workmen left it. Slabs of stone partially
dressed, are lying upon tho floor; others
partly cut out of the wall, stand where a few
more blows would detach them. Many em
blems of crosses, Hebrew characters, etc.,
remain, and the next visitor will see amongst
them the Square aud Compass as cut by
hand.
There is an elegant myth connected in
the literature of masonry, to the effect, that
upon the arrival of Hiram Abif, at Jerusa
lem, Kiug Solomon conducted him to a point
near the junction of tho Mountains, now
termed Olives and Offense, and showed him
the range entitled Mount Moriah, which he
had sclecled as the site of his projected tem
ple. I sought that spot, and endeavored to
summon up the scene iu its mitaml colors.
There was a long narrow ridge deeply fur
rowed by raviues divided primarily into
three peaks by cross valleys, the top of the
range rising more than 290 feet above the
bed of the valley of Jehoscphat, on the (cast,
and that of Tyropaeon on the west. Upon
that most illy-fitted hill, the King had or
dained the construction of his temple. The
top to be cut off—the sides to be raised by
Jtol) pcfmrtmcitt.

The great moral ideas of the party in pro
gress are practicably carried into effect in
proportion to their exaltation to positions in
the gift of the State and nation, and the
multiplicity of rings organized for the steal
ings from the highest to the lowest official
are not only reliable but appalling. We
hear of the Whiskey rings, the gold rings,
the Bine Ridge Kail Road rings and last tho’
not least, there seems to be rings quite adap
ted to the moral ideas of Radicalism and
which infect the domestic circle.
Late telegrams inform us of quite a dis
turbance iu Columbia occasioned by tho
horsewhipping of one James Kavanah by a
colored man, one R. B. Elliot, Assistant Ad
jutant General, on account of an insulting
note written to his (Elliott’s) wife. Such is
the results of the politico-social missegination
doctrine of the day. It is very evident that
R. B. Elliottdoes not believe in the teachings
of Anna Dickenson, Elizabeth Cady Staun
ton and other fast women of the times, but
discards frcelovism preferring that his breth
ren should be trooly toil in all things.-

He is embodied of perpetual miasma. The

feet square,
eut shelves had been left by the original
workmen, which answered for seats. An
upright stone in the centre, long used by
guides to set their caudles on, served us for
au altar. About ten feet above the mas
ter’s station there was an immense opening
in the wall, which led, for aught 1 know, to
the original site of the tempie of Solomon.
We were perfectly tylcd by silence and dark
ness, and in the awful depths of that quarry,
nearly a quarter of a mile from its opening
we felt as we never had before how impress
ive is a place which none but the all-seeing
eye can penetrate.
Laying the open Bible on the central stone
three burning candles throwing their lustre
upon it. and the trowel; square, Arc., resting
near it, a few opening remarks were made
by myself to the effect that never, so far as
we know, bad a free-masens’ lodge been
formed in Jerusalem since the departure of
the crusading hosts than seven hundred
years ago ; that an effort was now making to
introduce freemasonry into this tho mother-
country of its birth ; that a few of us breth
ren, providentially thrown together, desired
to seal our friendship by tho associations pe
culiar to a masonic lodge; that for this pur
pose, aud to break the long stillness of these
ancient quarries by masonic utterances, wc
had now assembled and would proceed to
open a moot lodge under the title of Recla-
tion Lodge. This we now proeceded to do
in a systematic manner. A prayer was of
fered echoing strangely from that stony roof
that had heard no such sounds for 1800
years, and the other ceremonies proceeded.
Remarks were offered, very feeling and
appropriate, by the venerable Henry J’eter-
mon, Prussian consul at Jerusalem, a mem
ber of a Royal York Lodge at Berlin, a free
mason of many years experience. Brother
Peterman is the deputy of his Grand Lodge
to the Lodges of Palestine. He is a gentle
man of great learning and the highest social
standing, speaking eight languages with flu

Ambergris.
This is a grayish substance frequency
found floating on the sea or thrown upon the
coasts of warm climates, supposed to bo the
results of deceased whales. The sailors say
it is owing to the whales having dyspepsia.
Whenever they find a lean or sickly whale,
t^ey are very eager to secure it, hoping to
find ambergris in the carcass. The whales
that produce it most abundantly arc found
in the Indian (Jccon. A few months ago^
during 1868 the barque Elizebcth, of New
Bedford, struck a large old sperm whale near
the Island of Madajfrscur. On cutting him
open two hundred and eighty-five pounds
of pure ambergris were secured, wortli about
twenty thousand dollars. This is the largest
amount ever obtained from one whale. The
quantity usually found is from twenty to
one hundred pounds, varying according to
tho age of the animal. Ambergris is au im
portant article iu the manufacture of perfu
mery, having a peculiar and exquisite frag
rance, to which manufacturers of cosmetics
arc partial, and the value they set on it varies
according to the strength of its fragrance,
which differ iu dificrcnt whales. It consists
of a hard waxy and fatty substance, called
ambcrinc, of a light grayish color, sometimes
streaked with dark yellow or brown. It is
found near the lever of the sperm whale, nnd
appears to be funned by secretion. Where
sperm whales are found dead from natural
causes more or less ambergris is usually found !
in them. The lovers of choice wines will j
undoubtedly be pleased io learn that delicious ! A T 'm, K \V‘l o ' L*-’,* ^'V'' '’f 1

Whale-Catchisg hy Electricity.—
A London Jinn has just obtained a patent
for a method, startling to ••old salts” in its
originality, for catching whales by means of
electricity. By their plan every whale boat
is provided with a galvanic battery. Wires
from opposite poles run down to the points
of each set af harpoons. When the whale is
sufficiently near, two harpoons arc thrown ns
