Tex thousand dollars put in the mail at New York bv the Park Bank for the First National Bank of Charleston has gone est ray, and the postotfice authori??|-\ ties are in search of it.

A correspondent of the News and Courier suggests Hou. James L. Orr, of Greenville, and Col. William Elliott, of Beaufort, as candidates for Congressmen at large. A good suggestion. It may, however, be found advisable to redistrict the State. A special session of the Legislature for that purpose ought not to occupy more than ten or twelve days.

One by one the carpet-baggers are revealed to their Northern admirers iu their true light. A correspondent cf the Hfezcs and Courier, writing from Sumter, says: "Speaking of the probable candidacy for the next Governorship, General Bratton is the strongest man vet men tioned for the place in the eastern section of the State. Judge Kershaw, were he a candidate, would no doubt sweep this section of the State ahead of all opposition. Bat I am not nominating the Judge for Governor, for I would rather see nun continue to Jtiolu the place he now so nobly fills." "When cotton spinners declare dividends of from ten to twenty per cent.' while cotton growers are thankful to make both ends meet. it shows conclusively that there's a screw louse w>mewhere. Yet the cotton spinners in the United States number only 180.000. while the cottoh raisers mu.-t H' _ largely exceed a miliion. Five men mffer that one may grow rich. For tliis let us thank the tariff. We don't oppose factories, and we sincerely trust oar people will secure a full share of the profits as the tariff goes. But no . country is well governed that shows so great a disparity between the profits of two leading industries. The Supreme Court of Tennessee, ? by a "division of shrce to two, lias pronounced unconstitutional the Funding Agt passed by the Legislature last last winter, which provides for paying the par value of the bonds, with inte I'll& : ' est at three per cent. The "low debt" }>arty wished a-.50-i bill, that is fifty |j>er cent, principal and four per cent, interest. The bill just declared unconstitutional was passed by a combination of Republicans ard high-tax Democrats., 2tfuch speculation is inriulged^r^as to how party lines will be drawn i&the coming campaign. The proposition to recognize silver a? money and to fix a relation-between ic&nd gold, has been rejected by Engianfe, France, Germany, Italy and other powers. The tendency of political economists nowadays is to make gold the single standard and to reduce silver to a mere commodity, such as iron, cotton or sngar. A.s the United States annually produces a orast amount of silver it is to our in I? (west to secure a market for it by JiHvimc it declared a legal tender all ?%*er the world; but in the present temper of Europe, the dollar of our dadoes will circulate only to a limited ektt\t even in the United States. Arthur surprised even-body on ^ Friday by nominating Conk ling- as Associate^Tustice of the United States Supreme xJoart. Senator IJoar, 01 Sjv'i jkj:i8sacuaseics, OOJCCI?U lu uuuicumiv Hpfe: consideration, and the nomination had to lie over; but it is thougiit the Sen-! *te will undoubtedly confirm it. When j Ooukling was Senator he defeated the! of Senator Hoar's brother | J ?and this may be an fct of retaliation, | Conkling is undoubtedly an able man i and a fine lawyer. Whether he will I abandon polities for the bench, or j whether he will make a good judge,! remains to be seen. He once refused the Chief Justiceship offered bv Grant. That was when he thought the Presidency within his grasp. Gexkkal Skobeleff, the Russian : hero, in u rccent speech in Paris to ; Servian students, gave great offence to t Emperor Wiiiiam, by declaring that j all the Slavonic races must be united j in one great nation and that Russia ; will ere long have to try conclusions 1 with Germany, the power that has thus far prevented this desired consummation. Skobelefi'is one of the leading generals of Europe, and he evidently desires to gain fresh laurels in a struggle with the Kaiser. Ger! many is jealous enough of her great j neighbor now; and any such talk as ! ainiPYiiKf thr* Dnnnhpan rinncinallties ! to Russia or securing Constantinople i for the Czar, is calculated to make i Bismarck put on his war paint, and j execute a war dance in spite of the | gout. Skobcic-iT claims to >peak only for himself, but it is possible that the ! Czar deems German troops better tar; <rets for bombs and firearms than his own sacred person. The United states raises a surplus revenue of over a hundred million dollars every year, and doesn't knowexactly what to do with it. She should first pay back the unconstitutional cotton tax stolen from the South* and then pay other just claims, as that for the use of the Citadel in Charleston, and pensions for disabled Florida and Mexican veterans. Then she should reduce the tarifF, so that consumers may buy more cheaply either at home or iu foreign markets. The proposition to reduce the surplus revenue by removing the tax on whiskey and tobacco and bank checks is a snare. What people wish is not cheaper whiskey or tobacco or bank checks, but cheaper bars and coats and pots and kettles and shoes, thinjrs that they must have, but on which they now } pay heavy taxes for the benefits of a | favored class. Leave the internal | revenue alone, if necessarv, and reduce 1 j a ?/Y? tne larm. The Question cf Cloture. The British Parliament is wrestling i with tho problem of how to choke off | filibustering, an innovation introducJ ed from America by Parnell and his ! followers, to the great scandal of the ! law-abiding people of Great Britain, j So great has been British reverence | for liberty of speech that the "previous I question" is unknown in the House of | Commons. And it is a strange in| stance of tenacity to old customs that j although thirty home rulers last year | held six hundred other members in {their power by the policy of obstruction, yet Mr. Gladstone is by no means sure of securing the passage of any measure that will close debate. The House of Commons differs in several respects from our A merican Congress. The sper.ker is a standing officer, tlie present >peaker havi ng served for many years, regardless of i lie complexions ot the majority. Again, though the House consists of ?ix hundred and fifty odd members, f;?rty is a quorum qnired to pass private biils. It is claimed that if the right to close debate be left with the speaker alone, this will cause him to be regarded as a partisan, and destroy the dignity of the office, while if a mere majority of members be required, circumstances may arise in which twenty-one members may choke off a minority of twenty. The proposition is to require a definite number of votes to secure the call of the previous question. Almost all nations, except England, have some device for closing a debate: but considering the great abuse of this prilvi'ege as a gagging measure in the hands of a strong majority, such as existed for a number of years in the House at Washington, it becomes an important question whether the uld traditions of Parliament should now be reversed. Yet, with a revolutionary element, such as the Home Rulers, m the House, something is necessary to preserve the dignity and power of that body. The previous question, 01 "cloture" as it is ealled, will probably be adopted in some form, in spite ot the great opposition now existing. About Glucose. TVhen a purchaser goes to his grocer for syrup nowadays, he is confronted by the question whether he prefers '-cane syrup" or ^glucose"; or if the grocer be not a pattern of honesty, the alternative is not presented, and the inuocent purchaser goes off in the : belief that lie has invested in the coni centrated inice of the sugarcane, when ! in fact he has secured only a chemical ! preparation of Indian corn. "What is gincose? A few years ago that question conld have been answered .only by one acquainted with science. Now gincose is as freely j talked about as -starch or soap or | grindstones or threshing machines, | though its composition may still be i unknown to nine out of every ten who ' deal in it. As over 200,000 tons of it j are consumed in tins country alone, a I few words as to its composition and j uses arc not amiss. The ordinary sugar is cane sugar or sucrose. Besides this there is a substance ordinarily known as grape sugar, which forms or old raisins and such substances, and which, differs from caue sugar as to granulation and j as to its comparative want 01 swecii ness. This is glucose. Scicnce disi covered long ago that starch can bo i turned into grape sugar or glucose, i In our college days we saw glucose | successfully made from a piece of old ! shirt, and indeed it can be made from i any number of articles. The process I is, briefly, to take" any substance eon; taining starch and treat it to a soluj tion of sulphuric acid, which changes | the starch into glucose. As starch is J cheap and sulphuric acid cheaper. j glucose cau be made at the cost of two ; to four cents a pound. It is largely ! used in the adulteration of sugar and [ candy, and especially in the manu' facturcof syrup, of which it may form a part or even the sole ingredient. | Glucose, or "corn syrup" as it is called | sometimes, is not as sweet as cane ; syrup, and while wholesome, if pure, : is sometimes deleterious from the ! neglect to wash out or neutralize all | the sulphuric acid. Glucose has been made heretofore from corn, which has advanced so much this year as to make this inuch needed article quite expensive. The demand for it is very large and exceeds the supply. Heretofore t lie profits of manufacturing it have been very great at the rate paid for corn j during the past few years. During ! the trial of a recent lawsuit in Xew I York it came out in the evidence that J I the Buffalo Grape Sugar Company sold : to one agency $100,000 worth of grape j sugar, or glucose, per month. That i company is now lining nearly 6,000; bushels of corn every dav in the week, j j A bushel of corn weighing fifty-six j j pounds will yield thirty pounds of j sugar or glucose; the average net j profit on a bushel of corn is between forty and fifty cents, since when the price has materially advanced. This would make the average profi.'S of 1 lie j i Buffalo Grape Sugar Company over j i ?1,000,000 a year, on a capital now | invested of $4,000,000. The maim-j factured glucose is used chiefly for making table syrups, candies, for i brewing purposes, as food for bees, i and for making artificial honey. It is i estimated that 11,000,000 btwK-ls of ; corn will be used this year by the i various manufactories In the United i States:. As will be seen it has become i in the past few years a mammoth in: dustrv. But since glucose is an adulterant, the rise in the price of corn which l brings it approximately even to the I price of the real article, is a serious j grievance to the Buffalo firm and I others; and already some cheaper sub! sti^ute must he sought for. It is | thought that this has been found in | cassava, a semi-tropical plant, which ; has tubers like a potato, attaining ! sometimes the enormous weight of j seventy pounds each. The cassava | grows freely in Florida, the yield, it j is said, sometimes reaching twenty tons an acre, or seven hundred bushels ! ?twenty times the average yield of ! corn in Illinois; or, ten tons of glucose | per acre from cassava, to a half a ton : iron J corn. jme Wissava giucuse is ui j tine quality. If this be true, the day ! is not distant when Florida will be come one grand cassava bed, and ! glucose syrup will be so cheap and i abundant as to drive the genuine arii! cle out of the market. This is souic| thing for syrup-and-buckwhcat eaters to ponder over. Kev. Jo si ah Obear. The Rev. Josiah Obear died at his home in "Winnsboro on last Saturday ! afternoon, lie had been gradually j failing for some time, though his last illness was quite sudden. On Friday ; afternoon he was taken with a severe | pain in the head, accompanied with some symptoms of paralysis, and it was soon apparent that he was affected ! with apoplexv. lie became uncon! scious in a short time, and so continued | until four o'clock on Saturday after ; noon, wften ne orcarneu xns ja^r. j ne i funeral took place in tlie Episcopal ; church on Sunday afternoon, and was ! attended by a large concourse of peo pie. The obsequies were conducted j by the Ke\r. II. O. Jndd, of Columbia, ; who also delivered a brief address, ali ludiug in touching terms to the life, i services and character of the Christian j priest whose earthly labors had just : beeu closed by death. The services | v ere concluded at the cemetery, and I me 11uuwm'iUTerred m theTaroily plo'. ; | Mr. Obear was born at Newberry, j Vermont, on the 24th of January, 1810. After receiving a thorough collegiate education he entered the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1838. He came to Winiisboro in 1841, and assumed the rcctorate of Sr. John's Church in this place, and also engaged j in teaching. In 18-49 he returned to the North, remaining there about six years. Resuming his residence here lie opened a school for young ladies and children, and from that time devoted ; his time and talents mainly to teaching, | though he frequently officiated as a i minister. For the past seven years he i has regularly ministered to the Episcopal congregations at this place and at Ridge way, being, in 1878, chosen as rector of the parishes of St. John's and St. Stephen's. His last ministerial labor was the beginning of the Le:iten services on Ash-Wednesday, only three days before his death. He was married in 1841, and was the father of six children, three of whom?two daughters and a sou?remain to honor his memory It would seem an easy and grateful task to pay a just tribute to the memory of a man such as Mr. Obear. TJip qualities which endeared him to all who knew him, and which inspired the respcct of all he met. were those seen in his every-day life. We need not search his record to find that he was a Christian gentleman who commanded the confidence, the affection, the reverence, of those among whom he lived. Ifis qualities were evinced in his unswerving walk through life, his devotion to duty, his kindliness of manner, his sympathy 111 time of trouble, and his conscientious, though un 3 i - I .11 osienrauous, enu'avors louiscnarge. ait the functions of his sacred office. Living tlms, it is not surprising that he should luive acquired that good name which is better than riches, and that his memory should now be revered alike by all classes. It may truthfully be said of him that he had the goodwill of all. Yet it must not be inferted that it was procured at the price of his convictions. No man, perhaps, was more tenacious of those things to ; which his conscience bade him hold | fa>t?yet no man had more charity in ; his heart, or more tender regard for : the feelings of others. In the domestic J relation lie lived up to his own teachi ings and as father and husband has ! j left memories sacred to the hearts of i widow and children. The honor that j j I they do to his name, the tribute they i pay to his virtues, the flowers which ; they lay upon his bed of clay, are but parts of that general homage which men delight to pay to departed worth. ; After those flowers shall have faded, \ ! long after the grass shall haveverdured , the now new-made grave; the name of I JosiahObear will be remembered and ! | revered, as that of one whose life was j spent in doing good to his fellows, and j j in earnest endeavor to discharge all!

I V \ V \ TK? FARMERS' MISSIOS. \ A Powerful Plea for Crops of Provisions j and improved Agriculture. The following extracts are taken from ! the annual address of Hon. Thomas Hardeman, president of the Grange j Agricultural Association: It is the people as much as it - is the ! country that makes prosperity ami success. The thrifty man will be thrifty anywhere. The idle, the ex- i iravagaiit, the non-progressive will he ! drones and thrift ess (-very where. The j disposition to emigrate from Georgia : homes is prompted by a want of activity and encouraged by farming without method, extravagance, based upon credit too easilv obtained, and a criminal rei'u;al to keep up with the progressive spirit of the age. A well adjusted system of farming, regulated by j an enlightened culture and carried on by all the improvements of modern in-1 vention, will insure success and pre-1 vent emigration; it will lili the store! houses with provisions, the barn with j cereals, the coffers with money and i \\*lines with comfort and contentment, j Emigration will then cease and mortgage liens will he classed among the criminal follies of the past. Homes without household comforts have no attractions for the young;; homes without supplies and support j for man an;l beast have no permanent hold on the affections of either young or old. Are you surprised that th-3 ambitious hoy of this generation or the thrifty man desire to abandon such homes and seek others in the imaginary Eldoradoes of the West? It is otherwise wkh self sustaining, homes, where plenty crowns the boards and intelligence -illumines the hearthstones. 'Whoever heard," said ai essayist before my county society, "of a fanner moving to Texas" who hud a crib full of corn? Who ever heard of a man going >?'" ni' Jii'iiwr CniH nut. nil uuxmui.tv;, a .crop lien, with si crib full of corn?

Who ever saw a mortgaged mule?that special object of care of the philanthropic Bergh?boinir Jf.fned from a crib full of corn? Selfsupporting countries only furnish cribs full of corn. I liked to have said a crib full of ear corn. That is superfluous; for who ever heard of a crib full of sacked corn ? Agricultural statistics do not record it: for. like the teachings of the Prophet to Ephraim, it is only "here a little and there a little" in the contracted barne of the country, and tiiat little too often unfit for the consumers use.

You have no money to buy new [ lands, and you have no longer labor I you can control at will; hence the ne! cessity of concentrating labor and ! means upon a narrower area for a. corresponding increase of vieid per acre. This can be affected by lab.jr-saving machines, with which our farmers gen| eraliy are but little acquainted. He i who visited the Cotton E.\p< silion ; must have been painfully impressed ! with the idea that we were so ignorant ! of these inventions aids which were so 1 economical:}' employed by other agrij culiurists, who kept pace with the ! march ot scientific and economic agri euiuire. Europe. under the teachings of agricultural science, has taken a step in advance of our country, and today steam. instead of horse power, is plowing her lands a id rea* :;?g her harvests. Steam culture is now in successful op eration in England, Scotland, France, I Austria, Russia, Italy, Germany, India, West Indies, Detnarara and Peru. The steam plow may be ridiculed?so was the steam engine which now transports your commerce, laughed at by the wagon and cart unbeliever; so were the spinning jenny and mule ridiculed by the skeptical spinner of other days. As in other industries, so in j agriculture, science will perform the ; work of hands, while natural agencies, ! under educated control, will cultivate your fields and gather" your crops. Away then with your prejudices against I scientific improvements, which are | formed in ignorance and nursed, be cause they were unknown tu your fathers. Science tells you thut ROTATION* OF ClCOPS increases tlte productiveness of your lands, and that "nothing is more exhausting to the soil than repealed cropping? by the same product," yet most of our farmers, from necessity under their system, follow cotton with cor ton and corn with a little corn, thereby exhausting their soil and crippling their industry. A good example is set you by the most successful agricultural countries in Europe, of a rotation system (forced in some by statutory regulations) biennial, triennial, and, in others quadrennial?and each successive year adds to the fertility of their soii. ISoi-ides improving your soil this rotation system would give you more cereals and better results, for I still adhere to an opinion given you years ago, that with cereals as the main crop and cotton the surplus, your p rot it account would be larger than miller your present system. LastK , farmers are enemies to their proies>ion in this?they underestimate and decry it. This is evidenced in the j tact that few of them study ii and fewer I still are educating their sons to master i it. Rest assured there will he no j grand success in any calling or profes| sson that docs not cornmaud the love | of those engaged in them, success is i the reward of effort and effort is enerj gized by a love of the occupation in which we labor.

If you would kci?i> it clean never put il in any pocket except one of leather. Those pockets which are lilted with cloth, cotton or calico, give by the constant friction a certain tin 11*. which enters most watch cases and makes its way to the delicate parts of the watch. See that your pocket is turned and cleaned often, and take an old linen handkerchief and wipe carefully all the dust from under the backs, bezel and cap of the case. But above all you must be sure that the case fits firmly, and to be sure of this, select' one where the parts (centre, backs, cap, &c.) are each made from one piece of metal. . mi T * SJCC DACC) T> . jl lit, oixsinikj uyco i Air^i oilrFE>ED OK FILLED (jrOLl> WATCH CaSE is so made, and not only docs such a Watch Case become stronger and ti; more perfectly, but it enables the manufacturers to tnru and form three picces of metal (the outer ones being gold and the inner one of an inferior metal) into shape for the round parts, making to all appearances and practical purposes just as good a Watch Case as the solid gold, at about one-half the cost to the purchaser.

They are the result of years of careful study and practical experiment. and are the most effectual remedy yet discovered for diseases caused by derangement of the stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effeotual treatment. Aver's Pills are specially applicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimilative processes, and restore regu Jar healthy action. Their extensive use by physicians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, is ons of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. j3einj$. compounded of the conccntrated virtues of purely vegetable substances, they are positively free trom calomel or any injurious properties, and can bo administered to children with perfect safety. Aran's Pills are an effectual cure for Constipation or Costiveness, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetito, Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizzi- i ness, Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors.

They stimulate the appetite and digestive organs; thev operate to purify and enrieh the hlood/and impart renewed health and vigor to the whole system. PREPARED SY DR. J. C.
