Editor Orangtbxirg Democrat: <Qur legislators have now relumed .to, Columbia to attend to their legisla tive duties,and.it is the duty of their /Constituents, if they wish new enaot ?mcnts, or chunges made in the old, rto syit the present state of things, rthcy should be made known to their ^representatives by public meetings or through the press, and not be fault finding or censuring them hereafter /or what they werp entirely ignorant. There are two subjects to which the writer would call tbvclr attention du ring this session, namely : The Road Law and tho Fence Law. The old road law was enacted at a time, when the settlers were few, scattered along the public highways, but now the country is so thickly settled that farms ar,e from a half or less to two and three miles apart. From one to I the other of lJUese, as well as to mills and churches, roads have been estab lished whicli arc to '.he traveling pub lic at the present day, as necessary to be kept in good repair as what ate styled public roads. The majority of: our farmers are .compelled to travel j from one to ten miles of ihcse private j loads, already mentioned, before they ( reach the worked public road to their j market town. My opinion js, that if a law were enacted with the same penalties at tached as the present road law, rje- j quiring every laud owner to keep in ! good repair nil roads that pass through his lands, except those to his fields, the traveling public would bj greatly benefitled, much of the coun ty expenses lessened, a great port of the annoyance, incident to public road working, avoided, and the roads generally kept in belter condition 1 than at present. Leave to the Coun- J ty Commissioners the erection j and repairing of bridges. At the j dinner table of a eiligen of Orange- j burg, this subject was introduced and all the gentlemen present wprc in fa vor of such a change in our road law, - which is a good indication of the gen-' end feeling of the community. Jii tcfuience to the fence law, the j present one docs not meet the wants j of the peopl0, (I mcun the land own ers.) Much of the land is routed to tenants who cue but little about their condition. Brushing, the gun, a pack of curs, or the knife, is their remedy tb keep out jumping cattle.. This j is attended to at night when all honest citizens are in slumber. a neighbor of mine, now dead, once had a line cow shot, and at the appraise meat of the properly, this line heiler was valued at thirty-Qvo dollars ; on the day of sale she brought one and a half dollars. I had an old cow, a good milker, that had her windpipe cut last summer. I turned her into my pasture to die, but the gash heal ed. Anatomists know at what organ they aimed, but failed through igno lancc. We want a law requiring farmers to make their tenants build higher fences, or oiic requiring stock owners to fence their stock. I can not comprehend, what reasoning could have influenced our legislature to leave this, important subject to the vote of the people?it should be left to the land owners only to say what disposition they should make of thier propcrtj', real or personal. For a city architect, baker, carriage builder, gunsmith, or harucssmuker to have a say so about what disposition a farm er should make of his field or slock is incouqirehensiblp to me. Our farmers sbpuld call the attention of their rep resentatives to the mutter in order \.o have the defects in our road working and fencing syslem remedied, during this spesipn of our legislature. If our city voters wish a pasture, let the corporation pur chase a piece of laud bordering upon tho river, tax the citizens to pay for it, and many a mule, could he speak, would bray his thanks to the wisdom of such an arrangement. Something should bo done with these fodder thieving cattle that prey upon our farmers.' provender. . ? i A Farming Tkavei.eiu Tiik pedometer may become a ter ror to husbflpdfli when ajl tjie ladies find out the success of a shrewd Bos ton wife, who quietly attached one of these tell-tales to her husband when lie started to "go down to the ofllce and pos{, up the books.''

AY bile Jennie Hall, fifteen years old, was stooping over a piece of Ma chinery in -a lithographic ^establish ment in Philadelphia, bcr long, dang ling JhajU1 caught jn a belt, and in a 6qco-nd che ,was completely scalped. The sufferer, with the blood stream ing over her face, Bcreamed ie an ag onizing voice that .cquld bo .heard a block away? The wounded gUrlwbo was wild with pain was taken to a I hospital. Some of her associates | becamo hysterical over the horrible ?ight. Au investigation was made subsequently, when the cause of the accident was ascertained. It appear ed that the girl had imprudently been amusing hcibclf by permitting a lock of her hair to wrap itself around the small vertical shaft. She repeated Ibis twice, but at third essay the look became wrapped too tightly around the improvised curliug iron to be extricated and was torn from the head, most of the scalp going witj; ;t and considerable of the skin from the forehead close to the brows In the evening the girl's condition was reported as favorable, although erysipelas might ensue. Several years ago a somewhat similar acci dent occurred tu an Italian lady the wife of a mill proprietor iu the Jo wer | part of the city. She was passing through the working room where the I/joins u/crc clanking away, l;er long, beautiful hair, of which she was proud banging loosely down her back. A strand of it entangled in a shall, and like a Hash she, loo, partially scalped.

Stick to the Earm, Boys. At a time when liiere arc len men in waiting for every business oppoi lu nity that Ihn eilics afford, farmers, boys who have comfortable homes and fair chances for lite future, hi the country, had much better slay where tliey arc, rather than swell ibe army of unemployed in the cheap boarding houses of the cities. It is true that the cities would run to waste but fori the fresh blood and energy which 60! constantly eon^o into them from the' country, but it is also true that where one man makes a fortune, large num bers fail to get even a foothold. In very many respects, life in the country is sweeter, purer, hcallljeir, belter, and in every way more desirable than life in the town, Notwithstanding this is fo universally admitted to be] true, the farmers' boys who become dissatisfied with the farm, perhaps, because their work is not made so pleasant and profitable to them as it easily might be?will not readily believe it, or if they believe it they do not show their faith by their works.?New England HonusU'ad.

During tho three previous days, a very strong westerly wind had forced back the floating ice of the gulf into the mouth of Ute Neva in such quantities as com pletely to block the riyer. at that ?mo swollen to an unprecedented height by one of those sudden thaws which often occur at the beginning of the Russian winter. Th,c water con tinued to rise so rapidly that during the whole night of the eighteenth (Gth old style,) watchmen \vc;<2 stationed along the banks, while the ringdiig of bells and the firing of alurm-guns were unceasing. Many of the ?ituhab jtante, fearing the worst, got togeth er such of their belongings as they could carry olf, and lied for their lives. They were not an hour too soon. Early on the following morn ing the rivor burst its banks, the can als overflowed at the samo time, and within a few hours two-thirds of the main city wus under water. The houses upon the low-lying islands beyond the river were even more com pletely submerged, and the air was Idled with the crash of falling build ings, the shrieks of women and children, the incessant booming of signal guns from the citadel, and : the roar of the surging waters, which as they deepened, whirled along wag oi>3, barges, sentry-boxes, loads of Lay und the corpses of men und beasts. Toward the afternoon, boats i began to ply through the streets, in j order to rescue the inmates of the threatened houses ; and the reigning Czar, Alexander I., wan himself among the foremost in the good work. But notwithstanding all efforts,as well us the rapid subsiding of the JJood toward nightfall, the havoc was very great. Upward of 13,000 buildiugs ? were destroyed in St. Petersburg alone, and 480 lives lost without reck oning the scores who, having taken refuge upon the I roes in the Admiral ?ty-Square, escapsd the flood only to perish misciubly by the merciless froat of the succeeding night. The height of the inundation is still mark ed by a red linepuintcd on the houses which flank the river, with the signi ficant dute, "November 7th, 1824." Port Royal as an Outlet to tho West. Mr. P. Papin.of the Port Royal II ir bor Improvements and Steamship Company, had a conference with the Board of Directors of the Merchants' Exchange yesterday with a view to setting on foot among St. Louis bus4 iucss men a movement to organize a transporution company to curry their export trade of St. Louis to Port Roy al. There was but a slender attend ance of members of the board at the confcacuce, and it was arranged that another meeting should be held to-day.Mr. Papin explained bis plans during the informal conference held, and seemed to bo very sanguiine that a new outlet to the export trade of St. Louis could in this way bq suc cessfully opened. The harbor at Port Royal, he held, was better adapt ed for the export trade than any oth er on the Atlantic coast. It was nearer to let. Louis than New York, and as near as Baltimore, Railroad communication was established to the water's edge and the facilities for transfer and shipment were complete. The Iron Mountain, Cairo Short Line and the South eastern offersd three direct competing lines as far as Nashville. The natural advantages of the route are great, .and people there were anxious to see the trudc built up to something like it ought to be.

Romance in Beat Life It wasjour pleasure today at 11 1-2 o'clock to bo a witness to tho mar riage of Mr. Frank N. Pooscr., of licnton, Alabama, and Miss. Kate Curry, of tins place. ~T he ceremony was performed by Rev. G. A. Trcn holmn, at tbe residence of tbc bride's mother, Mrs. M. J. Curry. A num ber of the friends and acquaintances of the family were present and a uni versal interest was manifested in ?bo occasion, inasmuch as it was invested with an air of romance that is rarely ever met in the usual prosy matri monial world. Tho happy couple which a few ihours ago assumed tbc happy bans, alt^ongh having been engaged for pine mouJjis, bud never seen each otiicrj and never known "the bliss that's in a mutual glance." They became known to each other through Mrs. T. N. Bennett, of this place, who while ut'West .Springs lasi summer, more than a year ago, made tbe ucquaiplsnce ol out hero, who was on tbe watch-lower for a puttner. Mrs. Bennett gave tbe bride.lo him as his "ewcclbeart" but it was not until a mouth afterwards that be began the correspondence which has been consummated under such happy cjreu instances. The couple, not knowing thQ name of each other, corresponded under assumed names. At the expiration of three months they agreed to junmask. They then exchanged pictures,?hort \y after which a matrimonial pro position was accepted by Miss Curry. It was mutually understood, however, that the contract thus entered into was to be null and void if, after meet ing, cither ol them should be disap pointed in their expectation of what the other ougbt to be.

It's a half year's rint, and you may take it or lave it? av ye take it I'll go to the woikhousc ; av yo lave it I'll go to America on it." The agent opened the roll of notes and counted the money. "Why, my good man, there is more limn a half year's rent here. There's qyer four years' rent in tho bundle.''

A German philosopher and medical doctor?Dr. Williclm Schraoele?pro fesses to have discovered one of the four great secrets that have puzzled tlvo brains of mankind almost from the beginning ; and if his discovery be real he will see to it that he lives long enough to solve the other three problems of nature Ho claims to have found tho elixir of life, the gen uine and ocly elixir vitae, nt last, and now ine quadrature of the circle, the transmutation of metals and perpetu al motion will be child's play to him. To assert his claims lie lias written a voluminous book, entitled "Makrobi outik und Kubanik," developing a scientific method for the indefinite prolongation of human life. The work is attacked by the press and professors, but what of that? Dr. Schmocle iu a full- blown professor of pathology and a philosopher to boot, as his puichrncnts and medals certify. The elixir of life is simply lemon juice, to bo taken in prescribed quan tities, according to a.'o, and without any admixture of water, sugar or al cohol. Who would have thought that lemons contain the very essence and spirit of immortality ? Yet according to tliis authority they do. Hut even if the theory be true, the conditions seem to make it somewhat cumber some und impracticable. It lakes loo many lemons to add a few years to life , and presently the earth could not grow lemons enough to satisfy the increasing demand ; and alter the lemons of life were squeezed, what then? The lemon eating hubjt- may be commenced with equal certainty us to results ut any time of life, and there would bo uo use in any healthy man or woman beginning it under fifty. Uetween filty aud sivty four lem ons a day are prescribed, and one ad ditional lemon nday between sixty and scvent}*, aud so on for every decade to all eternity, or so long as a man can hold tho lemons. But it is evi tdont that'tho load of .lemons, would soon increase the load of lifo until un bearable, und continued existence would cost far more than it won Li amount to. Even if true, it would inevitably defeat the purpose. The book is published by the printing olliee of Brown University, which in vests it with the character of authori ty.?St. Louin Republican. The Moment of Fear. Bonaparte lost four aids-de camp during the short time he was in Egypt. One of them, Croisier, ap pearing to Napoleon to luck the prop er degree of boldness at the proper moment, he burst oui against him iu one of his violent and humiliating at tacks of abuse and contempt. The word coward escaped him ; Croisier determined not k> survive il; he i sought death on several occasions, I but did nol succeed till thw siege of Acre. He was in attendance on Xa I poleon in the trenches there, when I such a sliHtp lookout was kept by the ganison, that if an elbow or feather showed itself above or beside them, il was immediately graacd by a bullet. Croisier watched Ids opportunity and jumped upon the platform. "Come down, I command you !" cried Napo leou, in a voice, of thunder ; but it I was loo late ; the victim of his seven I ty fell at his feet. Mural, the chival rous braver of all danger, had also I his moment of fear, which lost him I the countenance of his general, until disploasure could uo longer resist the I brilliancy of his nchievmcnls. It was at the siege of Muulua, in the Italian campaign, that Murat was ordered to take charge of s body of troops that were making a sortio from the garrison. He hcsilated, and in his confusion declared himself wounded ; he was lemovcd from the presence of the general, and in every way dis countenanced. In Egypt ho was sent out on the most distant and danger ous services; in short, ho more than conquered his character before the battle of Aboukir, on which occasion Napoleon himself was obliged to de clare him superb. Ihe brave Mar shal Lannes one day severely repri manded a colonel, who had punished a young ofllcer for a moment of fear. "That mftn," said he, "is woise than a poltroon, \\\\o pretends he never knows fear." A German author has written a work called : "Kisses and Kissing.", llo should have had an assistant.? Two heads arc better than ono at such work. Work for the Legislature. Rowksvii.i.k, S. C, Dec. 4th, 1879. Editor Orangeburg Democrat: It is the duty as well as the privi lege of citizens of this county or any other county, to say through the press what laws and enactments they wish their representative to make, while at the Legislature. I propose to say my say, not ouly for myself but for my neighbors; for although speakers and editors use the pionoun, we, cor respondents are only permitted to use I. First, as to the fence law or stock law as tho Governor calls it, I will say in a few words, a large majority of our people are in favor of its im mediate enactment. There is no sub ject thut has engaged the atlen'ion of the fanners in this county more earn estly lhau the passage of a law by the L"gislatuie to relieve them of the tre mendous burden of making fences to keep out stock ; and this season espe cially, has proven to them thut it ! don't pay to keep up fences for the poor, miserable, raw-boned, lank-sid ed, weather-beuten slock in tbe woods. As a general thing, it takes six or eight cows to produce milk enough to supply an ordinary family ; and as to the hogs, when ibe cholera is done with Ihcni there is precious few left, and such jumping and destruction of crops it is feaiful. Second, As to increasing taxes "i. the school districts for schools, wc arc decidedly against it; in fact we arc against increasing taxes for any purpose whatever. Third, We hear so much about pay ing back school claims and county claims by an increase uf taxes or ad ditional .taxes. Now, Mr. Editor, there arc precious few people in favor of any such law, except those who hold such claims. I am iu favor of lolling them die out; for we cannot be held responsible for Radical ex travagance, and all who bought up these claims knew what they were do ing. Knew they were buying smutty claims and therefore ought to suffer, not those who have to pay the tax. Fourth, Let Ibe Legislature adjourn at tho timo fixed. The country don't need many laws?wo are too poor for so many laws. The fewer the better for every body. Indeed, it is a moot ed rpiostion if it were not better for the Legislature to meet only every two, or better still every three or even four years, and let the people have rest. Coustuyman*. An Elephant Plays Policeman. At tbe celebrated Eastern circus Orozi, recently performing at Pesth, tbe attendant was startled from sleep by the elephants rising to their feet ami trumpeting in a shrill tone, sig nifiecnt of great mental agitation. Looking around in the dark to sec if some stray dog or cat had got admit tance, he discovered a stranger with a dark lantern attempting to enter the property room adjoining. With out a moment's hesitation, be loosed the biggest of the three elephants, who matched solemnly out upon the would bo-burglar, seized him by one arni.with Irs potent trunk, and held him fast until tbe police, whom the attendant had promptly fetched from a neighboring station, oamo up and took the elephant's prisoner?who had in the mcau time swooned away ?into custody. Having consigned him to the authorities, "Kiraly" re turned to sleep, conscious of having done his duty. Not Muoh an Astonishar, Occasionally you will meet a young mau who gets on the train somewhere in Ohio, and when some follow pass enger asks him how far he is going, he will say, "Omaha 1" in the tone of a brake hi a n calling a station, and then look up and down the car to observe tho amazement and awo of the other passengers, and you will notice that he looks a little disappointed because they don't take off their hats and ask to shake handB with him and want to know where ho comes from and all about him.

A meeting of tbc Institute was hold in Sheridan's School room, on Saturday, the Glh instant. The at tendance was small, which fait we prefer to attribute to the inclemency of the morning, for we are not willing to believe yet that the teachers and friends of education in this county, are disposed to neglect n matter, which if curried to a successful issue, tnusU.rc?ult in much good to tho edu cational Interests of oor community. After the usual business^the subject of "School Discipline" was bHfigusscd by Messrs. Sheridan, Walsh, DrTTE:?s. Cgo!<6 and others. The discussion was animated, and wc believe, profit able. Prof. W. II. Lawrence deliver ed an instructive address upon the subject assigned him, viz: "Con ducting Recitations." Oiving to the lateness of the hour, further discussion was postponed, and, on motion, the meeting adjourn ed to meet the second Saturday in January, at 11 o'clock A. M. Our teachers are earnesfly invited to at tend that meeting, for we believe if you attend, you will be convinced that you arc to be bencfilled. Remember '.he second Saturday in January. Education. "A well educated gentleman may not know mahy lauguages?may not be able to speak any but his own? may have read very few books. But whatever language he knows, he knows preciselj'; whatever word he pronounces, he pronounces rightly. But an uneducated person may know ? by memory any number of languages, and talk them all, yet truly know not a word of any?not a word of his own."?RcsidK. How sadly do we mistake the term educated 1 We think, forsooth, if we are enabled to go through college, pass a creditable examination, and sport a diploma, we are educated ! How many graduates of the present day are prepared to do anything use ful? Young men leave college with the idea that labor is degrading. They reason thus: "1 am an educa ted gentleman, I must not waste my talents at farming, or carpe&terLng* Oh, no! I must keep my hands while and cl.an, wenr* kid gloves, ami be a lawyer or preacher'"?without even considering whether they arc mental ly or morally qualified for these posi tions. Equally erroneous are tho ideas prevailing in regard to female educa tion. A young lady leaves the sem inary thinking she is prepared for every emergency she is likely to meet in society, aud so she may be. Sho can dance, sing, play and talk non sense with her admirers. Sho may even be able to appreciate a good book and talk sensibly to older per sons, but can she bake, sew, dust, or has she any idea of the many small matters necessary to make home hap py ? She may be so situated in lifo that she will be compelled to learn all these things, and if she has not great mental aud physical strength, will find these duties she has been taught to regard as menial, very isk* some, Even in her so called accomplish ments she is very superficial. The same author from whom we quoted in the beginning, says: "A woman may always help her husband by what she knows, however little ; by what sho half-knows or mis-knows, sho will on ly tease him." Wt Wk observe from our exchanges that a number of school townships in various portions of tho State are making arrangements to organize g'aded schools by local '.axation. All the schools operating under this ex periment for some time are in a vig orous and satisfactory condition, and fully warrant the opinion that this mothod is a sure way of reaching all classes. Besides it is the only plan by which our schools can be kept open any length of time. It is fool ishness to depend altogether on the publi3 fund to run a school for eight or ten months in tho year. The sur est plap ia to supplement this fund with private fees. We have tented this oiuself and wo know whereof we t ? ? v . ^ speak. Lador and brain conquer all things.
