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.

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

His Telephone.
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 ?"
'I bere was au interval of two or
three seconds, and the saloouist went
on :
"About five feet eight?light hair
?blue eyes?goatee?browu over
coat?black?"
I ''Say, you ?" exclaimed tho beat,
"here's your fifteen cents forthat
brandy 1 I had some change in my
vest pocket 1"
"Oh?ah?yea,"smiled the saloou
ist, and, taking tho money, ho went to
the mouth-piece and called :
"It's all right?I mado a mistake?
man is as good as wheat!''
The beat walked out without a
word, but as bo reached the street ho
growled :

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.? Charlotte (N. C.)
Obserrcr.
The origin and meaning of tho
word "wpman" having been quite re
cently under discussion in tho pages
of tho Londou Notes and Queries, a
Dublin man eeuds the following old
verse which he lately came across in
his readings:
When live hrought woe to nil mankind,
Old Adam called her woe-man;
But when sheuWd with love ho kind,
Ho then pronounced it woo-man;
But now with folly and with prido
Their husband's pockets trimming,
The ladies arc ho full of irAnna.
That people call them whim-men.

Gov. Colquitt, in a recent speech
at Columbus, Georgia, forcibly ap
pealed to bis people to make an effort
to regain their former prosperity and
social customs. This, ho contended,
could only bo done by raising their
supplies at home, paying oui of debt,
having full cribs and tmoke-hoUses
again, and building up onco moro
homes in which they could take a
pride.
