Literary.?The April number of]
Demorest's Monthly Magazine has j
four Easter cards of roses in oil colors,
which are really gems of art, two steel!
engravings, and numerous illnstra-1
tions,' The contents are varied and j
interesting. "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

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

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.

wise is to noid its own; me <jai jum;:

i India humming birds are also used in j

; 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- !

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.

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 |
? " ?
: - r ,-v - - - . ; .
the Mississippi valey will be very (lis- j
astrous) and unless the general govern- j
mcnt take active steps to prevent a recurrence
of it, a great part of the eoun- J
tfill h<?vn tr? ?hs.ndniied tn the i
ruthless waters, as the State authorities
arc powerless to undertake the tast.
Most truly,

VOTES FROM a A LEX.
An Excitlsc Deer-Hant-Prog^essive Farminc
Ope ration*.
Salem. 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

We heard a young man say he was
de(a)r huntirg, however, he did not
have the least desire to kill it, but to
pet it.
The fanners in our section are making
a fair start in their preparations to
plant. All seem to he as "busy as
bees," and are greatly in hope of good
seasons and good crops this year.

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. Let us get

A Missionary Lecture by the Kev. Hampden i
c. DuBose.
The Rev. II. C. 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

the people who wor \5p him, although
they know hijn to have been merely
human. But Confucius is worshipped
by the literary classes, as the God of >
Office. 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. |

Airaih, the "Chinese believe that (
Ilades is a counterpart of their empire, 3
that for every official in China there is \
a god in their Hades, and as there is a
relation in offices in this world, so ,
i 1 I
iheir gods also Rotate in office.
"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

Moon, atfd Empuror of four hundred j

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

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

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(

at the Baptist Chttfclu- In addition to
this there is a Union Sunday School of
recent organization at Colonel, Davis1"

last Sunday Mr. Samuel McCormick
was elected superintendent? a place
competently filled. Mr. J. E. Jones
was chosen secretary, and a trio 01'
teachers were appointed to take charge j
of the respective'classes. This is. as
above said, a good move and inav it so I
continue. Couldn't we organize a {
Young Men's Christian Association? I
Fanners generally are progressing'
finely with their operations for the j
present season, hut-wo have heard of;
some that are rather behindhand in j
comparison witlrlast year. As we pass j
alomr the Cainddiv and Longtown road j
our eye is attracted by the beautiful j
oats-fields arrayed in living green, j
