[communicated.] Editor Orangeburg Times : Permit me through your valuable columns to suggest to our Represen tatives in the Genetal Assembly aud more especially to Representative S. Dibblo, whoso abili:y a.s a lawyer renders him moat m-cful iu this par ticular, and o ?r .Sena-tor Hon. 8. L Duncan whose untarnished reputa tion ought to make effective his in fluence iu the Senate, to repeal Sec tion ? of the Act of 1872-3 "Entitled An Act" to Revise and Amend An act Entitled "An Act" to reduce all Arts and parts of Acts to Determine and j Perpetuate the Homestead into one Act and to Arneuti the same : Tho Section of the Statute referred to pro vides that "No wdver of the right of homestead however sol em I y executed shall be binding upon tlie head of a family." Under this provision ofour law no person, whose misfortune it is to possess less than 01,000 real pro perty and ?/300 personal property can avail himself of the use of his pro perty to the end of securing himself or his friend from the most unjust im prisonment on the most unfounded charge whatsoever. Experience has brought the truth of this statement home to many of your readers, black and white. Tho homestead act is a humane provission of our law, as well as a preventative against a landed Aris tocy on the one side and pauperism on the other. It provides Sijme means against families resting on the County for support, yet notwithstanding this virtue of the Homestead act, italao as a fort said, causes many a poor white or colored person to lie in jail, soon after the close of one General I Session to '.he commencement of another upon some charge which the Trial Justice i-i unacquainted with the case or the subject?no fault, of theirs and also the nccn-jftd-01' those who oiler themselves us not possessed of ^le val** ? exceeding enomotts sum ok 61500. Who can reflect on the a vages ofour late civil war r.nd say that a man ought to own Si?OO by hottest toil ? More than all this to restrain a man from the abso lute use of his property, is in my oyin ion contrary to the doctrine of Fee simple where the estate isuncoudition la and the property absolute. While we keep in our minds eye the protec tion tho act gives to the family it must be remembered how fcarful y it works against that head of a family who is deprived of securing his liber ty from unjust restraiut, by o ffering his property in security of his ap pearance At the proper time and be fore the proper Tribunal upon any charge made. Let the Section of the uct be repealed or the value of the Homestead reduced and this will bring gladness to all. Yours Truely, D. A. St it a k er. Reunited at a Child's Grave. Many years ago a young gentleman ol Manchester, of good character and honorable connections, had the mis fortune t?> fall out with his wife?a beautiful girl of only eighteen sum mers. lie speedily arranged his busi ness affairs, and \vi thoutformalit> look an abrupt leave of his wife and a sweet little bob". He traveled far and lingered long in many strange lands, without communicating intelli gence of his whereabout.), and without knowing, or curing to know, the fate of bis dear ones ut home Iu the meantime the little (mo had passed away, and the w ile, broken-hearted and disconsolate, kept the faith she had pledged at the altar. Many years had elapsed since her truan t husband had left her, ami in all that time it was her habit to visit the Hille grave of her dead infant, with the same deep mourning dress she had dunned tho day of the burial. A few evenings ago it so chanced that fate brought her husband hack to this city, who, immediately upon his ar rival, sought out the .Mttlo grave, where, by tho dim twilight, ho en countered a stange figure in black. A heavy veil hid the face; but his was open and clear, and seemingly un altered. The discovery of cither's Identity was but a moments lira*?a groan?a shriek?aud husband and wife firmly clasped in loving em -brace.?Richmond Slatc. A Key to a Person's Name.

If it be found in but one column it is the top letter ; 11 it occurs in more than one column, it is found by adding the alphabe-iacl numbers of the top letters of these Columns, and the sum will be the number of the letter sought. By Jkking one letter at a time in this way, the whole can be ascertained. For example take the word Jane. J is found in the two columns commenc ing with B and II, which are the second and eighth letters down the alphabet; their sum is ten, and the J tenth letter down the alphabet is J, I the letter sought. The next letter. I A, appears in but one column, whete stands at the top N is seen tu the ddumns headed B, D and H; these Jk^he^sja?^'!, fourth and eighth^t give the fourteenth, and so on. The nie of this table will excite no little curiosity among those unacquainted with the foregoing explanation. - - - Air ond Light. Air is essential to human life, and as respiration destroys its vital quali tics, the ventilation of rooms which ure intended for habitation should be a primary object in all architectural plans. Architects, however, seldom provide for the ventilation of rooms otherwise than as they provide for the admission of light. Now, the properties of light and air, with re ference to our domestic requirements, piffer in some important particulars ?of which it may not be amiss to give a brief enumeration. Light moves with uniform velocity; air is eotneiiines quiescent, and sometime* moves at the rate of thirty miles ttu hour. Light, diffuses itself with much uniformity; air passes jn a current from the point of its entrance to that of its exit. Light, whatever be its velocity, has no sensible effect on tho human frame. Air, in the shape of a partial current, is both olfonsive to the feelings ami productive of serious diseases. Light, once admitted,sup ples our wants till nightfall. Air requires to be replaced at very short intervals. Light may be convenient ly admitted from above; air requires to be admitted on the level of tho sitter. Light, by the nfU of ground glass, may bo modified permanently Air requires to be variously adjusted according to its direction, its velocity, the seasons, the time ot t he day, the number of persons assembled, etc. Be Agreeable at Heals. Every ons can do something to add to the social life at the. table. If one cannot t^k, lie can listen or ask quo* lions and draw out. others who can talk. Good listeners arc as necessary as good talkers. Nuver argue at tho table; but tell pleasant stories, relate or rend anecdotes and look out for the good of all. Sometimes a single anecdote from a paper starts a convor sntion that lasts during the meal time. A family table ought to be bright and cheerful, a sort of domestic altar, where every one casts dowu his or ho r Offering, great or fiinall, of pleasant ness and peace; where, for at least a brief space in the day, all annoyauces aro laid aside, all stormy tempers hushed, all quarrels healed; every one being glad and content to sit down at tho same board and eat tho same bread and salt, makinjj it, whether it were a rich repast, or a dinner of herbs, equally a joyful, al most sacramental meal.?Dr. IIol brbok.

A Detroit saloon keeper has suffer ed pecuniary loss at the t.auds of dead beats, and has ransacked his brain for a remedy It does not pay to knock a man down because he has no money, aud harsh words collect a crowd aud give a place a hard name. The other day the saloouist got the idea be bad beon struggling after. Ho ringed up a wire, a mouth-piece, and other parts of a telephone, and was ready for the first case. It came along yesterday morning. A well dressed and deceut- looking man cal led for brai.dy, swallowed it aud soft ly said : "I'll call around and settle as soon as I can get a check cashed." "All right?all right," smiled the saloouist, and he stepped back to the mouth -piece and called out: "Chief of Police, are you in ?" The beast halted to hear what was going on, and the saloonist continued : "All right. I want to give you a description of a suspicious-looking character just gouo out of ray saloon. Are you ready ?"

A Terrible Tragedy.?Passen gers by tho Wilmington train last evening report a horrible tragedy as having occurred yesterday morn ing in Kobeson County, about ten miles from Lumborton. Two men, Grimslty and Falk, nut in the road and became involved in an alterca tiou, which led to a fight, in the pro gress of which Grirasley drew a pistol and fired upon Falk, killing hiui al most instantly. Thereupon a son of Urimsjey, who was present and wit nessed the difficulty, moved by some impulse which is not yet explained, produced a pistol aud killed his lather even before the breath bad left the bedy of the latter's victim. Young Grimslcy then escaped. It is said that the elder Gri.nsley had threat end to kill his son, aud that the latter stuod in fear of his life at the bauds of his father, but, so far as is learned, there was.no inimediato cause for tho patricide, as the young man was in no present danger.?
