Only 7.5 votes were cast, as follows: For Intendant, J. J. Neil, 74. For Wardens, R. J. McCarley, 75; G. B. Dunn, 74; G. B. McCants. 74: G. A. White, 73. Messrs.

"The Admiral's Ward," j by Mrs. Alexander, grows in interest j as it progresses; ".Society Life," by j Jennie June, i? an excellent article,! and twenty-four others are not inferior in merit. There are also "Current j Topics of the Day," "Work Table," j "Kitchen," and "Fashions for Spring," leaving nothing more to be desired for a family magazine; and the price at two dollars a year places it withiu the reach of every family. The Tozer Engine.?We invite particular atteulion to the advertisement ot Messrs. Tozer & Dial to be found in another column. Mr. Tozer has devoted vears to the effort to bring his engines up the highest standard of perfection recognized among machinists. His engine may now be said to possess all the latest improvements, and all the features calculated to give it strength, power, simplicity and durability. These engines have been extensively used all over the State, and the universal verdict is that they come fully up *? * m r_ ' to representation. .Messrs. iozer <? Dial have done little to "push" or "puff" their work, and the reputation attained by their engines is simply the result of solid merit. As will be seen from the references given m the advertisement, the engines have beeu used by several prominent and successful the 'Swa** satisfactory results. The Election at Ridgeway.?A correspondent of the Register, writing from Ridgewav, March 27, says: The only stirring event of the day has been the election of lutendant and Wardens for the ensuing term. There were two tickets?a 4iwct'? and "dry." There are here no extreme inen on either side. There was no bad feeling between those whose opinions and ballots differed. Ours is a peaceful community; but, like too many places in our land. Ridgewav sometimes has her living temperance lecture staggering on the street. The friends of temperance had buoyant hopes of success, but the "wet" ticket carried the day. The following are/the officers elected: Intendant?Wr. II. Huff; Wardens?J. A. Simpson, W. E. Parker, J. H. Coleman, J. P. Cooper. Some of the foregoing are advocates and supporters of the "dry" ticket, but being elected on the "wet" they will act accordingly. The dry ttcket was as follows: For Intendant, Jno. A. Simpson; for Wari.'ens," "\V. H. Ruff. A. A. Morris, W. M. Coleman and E. K. McQuatters. Messrs. Ruff and Simpson though elected on the "wet" ticket are opposed to licenses, and we arcfhformed that soon ~ * "? * X?-.. - / A.L. ? 14. 4.U alter tne declaration 01 uie re&iuu mc? resigned. Another election lias been ordered for the second Monday in April. Judge Withekspoox.? We publish from the Darlington News of the 16lh, the following merited compliment to Judge Witherspoon, who presided at the recent term of the Darlington Circuit Court: The Jndge comcs to as not e:itire!y ss ? strainer. From the earliest time in the history of the Pee Dee, the name of Witherspoon has been known in the section now composing the Fourth Circuit. He brings to the bench all the energy, promptness and manly decision which has characterized the name since the days of ihe Revolution, when its members were conspicuous in the forum and in the field; for we find the name of Witherspoon among the signers of the Declaration of Independence as well as on the roll of Marion's famous Brigade. Judge Witherspoon, as the Senator from York county, and the presiding officer of the State Senate, is also known to the people of Darlington county. His just and impartial decisions while presiding over * l? <-? * /)/\1 1-v, u;a</ u^uuuiabivg vvuji ^ viv VIH UVI; in keeping with the honesty of his character; and his ridings upon the bench have proved that theLegislature was wise in placing him there. A lawyer, as his father was before hiiru enjoying the confidence of the people <\f liic ii?t!cominiitt' AiiH J?v* thorn nlMf cd in high position, lie ha? proven himself a man, and bids fair to rise still higher in the affections of the people of South Carolina. It is with pleasure that we welcome such a man among us. He unites in his character all the energy and progressiveness of the new | with the court:}* dignity of the old | Si ..th Carolina gentleman. SriuxG Styles.?The millinery esj tablishments are now opening their j new spring styles, which to the ladies offer superior attractions this season,' the designs in flowers being: especially fine and beautiful. As to the popular styles of bonnets and hats, a New York j fashion letter says: Bonnets and hats, it may be said, are j slightly changed from last s a on; i wide riins are favored, and both large I and small shape*! are fashionable. The | 'poke* sks a little r closer of the ears j and has a more drooping front. The ! snug little capote is as daintily d5sposj ed as ever, while the decorations afford a free field for astlietic display. The Gainsborough will continue in favor. rr>t~ ? j. l n- r- *t.A r-? 1 ] lire w iuu t>riwi> jur i.iu anu I summer, are very attractive, those in | plush and felt being designed for this / and next month. The turban, like wise is to noid its own; me <jai jum;: i is various, chiefly of featlier. West j i India humming birds are also used in j | combination with other styles of plum-1 i age and with rich ornaments of beads ! ' and sparkling stones these are often ' ; set with fine eflect in works of silver i land gold of filigree formation. Tur; bans of silk are also embellished with . flowers and feathers. Pretty straw j turbans for summer wear come in a i great variety of shapes and colors, be-1 j ing designed for suit wear, where the ! | color of dress, gloves and chapeau are j ofihe same shade. ''This freak of j j fa-hion." savs an authority, "is mod- I I estly beautiful, and the quietness of the | ; tone is charmingly appropriate for i i young misses." About Silkworms.?A correspon- j dent who has had considerable ex peri-! ence with silkworms sends the follow- 1 in#items of information concerning! I them. At birth and for the first ton ! days the color of the worm is blackish j or obscure. As it grows, it casts its j skin at stated periods and turns whitish or bluish, and, when, ready to spin, vellow. It is covercd with scattering1 i C? I hairs, and lias a little fleshy tubercle j on the upper part of the last ring-. It ! feeds on the black mulberry, the white I mulberry and the osage-orange leaves.' After acquiring its full growth as a ; caterpillar (three inches in length) it; proceeds to enclose itself in an ovalshaped ball or cocoon, which is formed i by an exceedingly slender and long j filament of fine vellow silk, emitted : from tho stomach of insect, nrenaratorv i < to its assuming the shape of the chrysa- ! lis 01* moth. After a short spare it eman-? cipates itself from its silken prison.! The female having deposited her eggs, j from 300 to 500 in number, both in- j sects terminate their existence. Be- j fore spinning, the worm fasts thirty- j six hours and seeks a place to construct j its cocoons. The eggs should be kept j in a dark, cool place to hatch these I ( worms. Then the caterpillars should j be placed in frames made of light j wood, similar 10 snue iraines, wnu i tac'-s nailed around the edges and Dex-11 ter cotton latticed over tliis frame, j Tiie worm should be lightly covered i with the leaves, on which they feed, J and these replenished as needed. After j the worm envelopes itself in the co-; coon eight days elapse, when the balls i are gathered. The life of the chrysa- ! -s ? thn i iiflcs isucsiryyuu u\ v-\[ju>tui; iu mt, , sun. The length of reeled silk obtain- I ed from a single cocoon varies from j 300 to GOO yards. Those cocoons which have been perforated cannot be reeled but must be spun, on account of the breaks. It is best to sell the cocoons to those who understand their manipulation. Damp leaves are injurious to ' * Kn (fOtK- ! me worms, jluc innts uuuum uv ^un. ered when the dew is off thera, and they will keep two days.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS. ] Higher than Ever Kefore--How our Friends I are Fating. From an Occasional Correspondent. j Fi.owekt Mound, La., March 27.? 1 As the flood of the Mississippi River is j | an absorbing topic of the day. and one j | in which a great many fbel concerned; j | for the benclit of my friends and the i j public of my native county, I drop you a few lines in regard to the situation j in this section of the State. (Concordia j Parish.) We are overflowed here J from crevasses in the levee from Vicks! btirg down, and we went under about i the 5th of this month. The water is .{ now two and a half feet higher than ! the high water of 1874, being higher ! than ever known by the oldest inhabijiMK. Notwithstanding the unprccei deni < height to which the water lias j attaii. 3, the loss of stock in this sec- j i tion das been comparatively light,J ; and the loss of life, none within my] j knowledge. A great many head of | ; 8'ock have been shipped to high land,; ! and t!ie balance are now mostly afloat j * on raft?. The washing away of our ' j fences constitutes our greatest loss, as i ; it will greatly retard our plant ing 1 j when the wa er subsides. A great I ! many persons have also left for the i ' hills. The cfiect of this overflow upon | ?

March 29.?As it is an oc- j currence so unusual- 5n our county, and yet so thrilling in its delightful ex-1 citement, I have thought some of your readers, who are lovers of the "horn and hounds"', might be gladfto hear of a good, old-fashioned deer chase, which took place in our neighborhood on last Wednesday afternoon. It is impossible for me to tell you just how j much real fine sport our party enjoyed, j The fact of its being of a kind which is { rare, of course heightened the pleasure. Probably some one asks, ''But where did this deer come from!" Allow ine to explain. A gentleman in this section. Mr. William Martin, has had for several weeks a pair of deer over one year old. One of them escaped from the enclosure a day or two ago, whereupon he invited a party consisting of seven, to take a dcer-lmnt with him. We had only six dogs along, but all * i J 1 ffoori ones. Alter naving nau consiuer:tble trouble to track the lost deer, and to get tho dogs well on the scent, , we, at last, were rewarded by seeing "The an tiered Monarch 01 the w.isre spring ri^m his heathery coucii In haste." When "Lula," "Hie," "Belle." "Sallie" and the others got a fair run, 'twas "music to our ears," and, really, it < sounded as if there were fifty dogs in the pack. Mr. M. was in hopes the deer would return home, but the dogs caught and killed it in about half a mile of his house. We returned home greatly in the spirit to go again, if we | get the chance, especially since we j 1 * rt rvi/?/>n nf T-niticrm !

Please excuse the first efforts of A School Bor. GOSSIP FROM GUM SPRING. Everybody Busy on the Farms? Interesting Services at Pine Grove Church?Political! Notes. Simpson's, March 29.?After a long* silence I will endeavor lo give yon a a few dots from this section. The health of the people is very good, and everyboby is busy with farming operations. From present indications a large crop will be planted. There is a considerably less quantity of guano used this year than for several years back. The small ?rrain looks very promising, and the best of it is that a good crop was put in. The late windy weather had dried up the land to such an extent that the recent rain has been very acceptable. News in our neighborhood is very scarce, and if it were not fo.;; the regular visits of your very interesting paper we would not know what was going on in the next railroad station. In your account of the accident that befell Mr. M. S- Abell you stated that the accident occurred near Major W/WjMrni.riv ulifn if reall** occurred very near Simpson's Turnout. One of the mules died the same night after being hurt in the evening-. Tiie other mule is still on the roadside with a broken leg, besides other severe injuries from which it cannot possibly recover. It was your correspondent's pleasure last Sunday to visit Pine Grove Church, south of Cedar Creek, where he met a goodly number of old acquaintances, worn in time for Sunday School? which is in a good condition, with Mr. J. Wash. Robinson as superintendent. After the exercises of the school were over the pastor, the Ren. A. J. Cauthcn, made a very touching' address in behalf of the missionary cause. At the conclusion ot'his remarks he proceeded to organize a Juvenile Missionary Society. Twenty-five children and young persons responded to the call, and at once organized themselves into a society by electing the following young ladies and gentlemen as officers: Miss Jesse 0. Robinson, president; Mis? Mary E. Abell, first vice-president; Miss Carry Ballentine, second viccnfp?iilpnt: Miss Virginia Christmas, third vicc-pn;j>ident; Miss Kittie Iiroom, secretary: Mr. TIios. P. Leitner, corresponding secretary; Mr. Leonard Robinson, treasurer; Mrs. Mair<pe Robinson, Jady manager. After the election it was resolved that the ocictv be known as !he "Rosebud Juvenile Missionary Society". It is understood that the little folks in this society intend to work for the misson cause in Urazil. Alter rne orgauization was completed the much loved and zealous pastor preached a very able and interesting' sermon from the 37th Pslam, 18th verse?something not hard for him to do. A two-days meeting will be held at Pine Grove fchnrch, commencing on Saturday before the third Sunday in April. This will also be a sacramental occasion. We natice a suggestion-in a late edition of your paper, to organize the Democratic clubs for'the coining campaign; Now, wear-call trying to be loyal, and we are also trying to make a crop; and until we do this-, don't send the many candidates down on its, for as surely as a club has a meeting:, so surely you will see the candidates looking up the dear people.

DuBose, Presbyterian missionary to China, delivered a most, interesting and impressive lecture on "Wednesday evening upon the ?mr1 r?n?tfiiris of those stran<rt? IV4,54V" O ~ people. Beginning with a description of the three beliefs of that country, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, he sketched in n masterly manner the merits and defects of each, and showed how each was nothing more than mere idolatry. Confucius himself would orrKoof of fllO cloulch Iflnloft**' nf ataiiu a^llrtov. t*V V.JNy AUVIUKi; W? the people who wor \5p him, although they know hijn to have been merely human.

Every man in China hopes to get an office some day, and as office is given by competitive examination, knowledge*is the <fivai lever, and as ? 7 Confucius is the embodiment of know ledge he is universally worshipped. | t Jk \ I s I I \ liven school children bow down and ? - ? -*" Af P/iir>fnnint tViof VCIl^rUlV 1-IH5 i^ vi vuinuiuo* IUUV he rnay:assist thfem in their studies.

"WhatGod.presides over such and such a plp.ee :r was asked. "I don't know/*" answered the Chinaman. "Don't you know your own God?" ' No. You see a new governor was ^ appointed to this place a few days ago, and we haven't heard yet what God is to represent him in Heaven." The " /? ? i ? j._ c??., < .fcmperor oi cnina, oesiues uemg oun j? of Heaven and Brother.of the Sun and j | Moon, atfd Empuror of four hundred j million human beings, is also Master of the Gods, and appoints them just as he appoints his mandarins. Buddhism, has mere warmth and religion about it than Confucianism. It leaches of rewards and punishments, but it has no idea of a vicarious sacrifice. Man works out his own redemption, he believes in the transmigration of souls, and his hope is that his soul after death will enter a higher plane j in this life. Every woman prays to become a man and every man to be-1 come a mandarin. Buddhism is an j imparted religion, and was introduced by foreign priests. This teaches a lesson to the Christian churches, that China may! be converted in spite of her * o]ctlni(litious*! v*" Taoism was then sketched, and idol worship was graphically described.

Mr. DuBose is yet young, being only thirty-six years of age; but he has been ten years a missionary and will return to China this summer. He lias ability, zeal and the same earnestness that impelled the Christian fathers to j preach the gospel despite all difficulties. He is a son of the Rev. Julius J. DuBose, who for a number of vears was pastor of Aimwell and lioreb churches in this county, and who is still affectionately remembered by the people under his charge. Ilis son worthily wears liis mantle. Mr. DuBose preached at Jackson's Creek on Thursday, and then left for Presbytery, after which lie will return to Alabama and prepare for a second visit tc his mission. May succcss attend him. CHIPS FROM LONGXOWS. A Very Ple:??ant Fighting Party-Sunday School Work?Progress of Farming Operations . Loxgtowx, March 30.?I trust you would not scorn a few chips if they were thrown the Longtown block into your sanctum. We arc all wiile awake here in almost everything except politics, a subject of which there is verylittle discussion, cither among colored or white. I must tell you about our big "fishnic" down on the banks of the graceful Wateree last Friday, the 2-ith inst., amid the grand old water-oaks and cotton-woods. We all gathered, a merry little party of fifteen or thereabouts, of both sexes and all ages, at the residence of our host, Mr. J. D. Ilarrison, about 10 a. m., and after exchanging a few notes, togetljer tfith the collecting of ! tiiose DasKecp,; we ten ,11110 Jine :mu , marched riverward. AVay we went, i and after a spell the valley of the grand old Wateree came lo view. Our little party fished, and "cotched" a minnow also a "wee sma" catfish, more proper lv kitten-fish. After tiring of this i "streak o' luck", dinner was announced by our kind and generous hostess, who contributed largely to the repast, j which we enjoyed to our hearts' con tent. A laughable incident occurred \ that contributed very much to the amusement of the young folks. One of the gentlemen, Mr. , a fewdays previous expressed to our hostess his affection for such dclecacies as puffs aijd eggs, and to show that she regarded his wishes, the two dishes graced the table for his special benefit. On proceeding to dissect the triangular piece of dough, fully expecting to enjoy its lucions contents, lo! our friend found himself completely sold. The incision showed that it was filled with a quantity of motes and cotton?the e^g being equally delusive, a quantity ot brasi beiiur substituted for the usual COUl?lllS? l^iuiiui uin[;uiuij^\i? we proposed to take a stroli up the river 1o visit the celebrated Indian mound, evidently the work of the aborigines. We do not remember the exact dimensions, but it is of a large size, dotted here and there with frees and jrrass, entwined with bamboo. After .securing a few relics of pottery, and to king a view of the valley araund we retraced our steps to the place of rendesxous. From thence we turned homeward and visited the vault near hv. where renose the remains of the Harrison family.' Our host, who is an embodiment of fnn and mischief, di~ played some of his talent by making a sly raid upon the'locks of a fair young maiden, as she tipped along uticonscions of the theft. The lock of the "bonnie brown hair" is still with us. We arrived at Mr. Harrison's about dusk, and after .discussing our day's journey we dispersed, ranch indebted to our host and hostess fer their kindness a id'generoBity4 bestowed upon us duriuir the day.l( ; - The -pCtfpWOT JLjongrown jtre.uoinir a y. good knd prom^'thmgtiMlced. in the organization of a new Sunday School at the Baptist Chttfclu- In addition to this there is a Union Sunday School of recent organization at Colonel, Davis1" schoolhonsc, in lijpper Longtown.
