An Enjoyable Reunion qf the Protective Onion—Genuine Flow of Soul, In Greatest Profneton. The Bachelors’ Protective Union celebrated their fifth anniiai sympo sium, with the usual festivities, on the evening of Thursday, Starch 1. 'fhe hour announced for the commencement of the exercises was 7J p. m., and' promptly at that hour the sworn foes of matrimony began to gather. One by one (and occasionally two by two) they dropped in, and at length, after the delay usually incident to the gath- ing together of a body <6f fine-looking young men, the Union was called to order, the urbane and accomplished Grand President in tlie chair. On calling the roll, it was found that a majority of the officers were present, and the Union commenced their labors. The first business of public importance was welcoming to the ranks of those who proclaim aloud they joys of sin gle life several candidates, who, after hovering aronuct^he lighted candle of woman’s charms, had determined to tear themselves once and forever from temptation and danger, and go “where the wicked cease from troubling,etc-. Great enthusiasm was manifested by the members at the evidence of their growing popularity and power, as in dicated by this accession to their num bers, and eviry preparation was made to give the candidates a warm wel come. Everything being in readiness, the initiates wcr£ introduced and made members of the Union in ample form and with all the time-honored ceremo nial appropriate to the occasion. It may be possible that some feature* of ♦i.o »!*„•,! -vould be more honored in the breach than in the observance, bnt, Siowever this may be, we venture the opinion that the initiation will prove an occasion long to be remembered by those who participated in it. The election of was the next impor tant business. The Grand President was, in spite of his owU opposition, re-elected by acclamation. A like honor was conferred upon the Grand Vice-President and -ho Secretary. The big button for the most consist ent member was awarded to the Grand Vice-President, McCauts. The little button for the next most consistent member was awarded to the Grand J£Vosweating Attorney, Douglass. The new initiated members were appointed to the following offices: E. L. Witsott, to be Grand Captain of Hie Host; G. W. Ragsdale, to be Grand Mogul; O. W. Buchanan, to be Grand High Chancellor; K. Doty, to be Grand Tycoon. The Union then transacted some routine business, after which the of ficers of the body and their invited guests—a distinguished delegation ft-om the Bar and Press-^proueeded en masse to the WinnsbOro Hotel, where a tempt ing banquet awaited them. Of this banquet suffice it to bay that it was beautiful to the eye, luscious to the palate, and like the soft haze that sur rounds far distant western hills is the fond reminiscence of its departed joys. Peace to its ash—its crumbs. The keen demands of appetite being at last satiated, the members filled their goblets to the brim, and the regu lar toasts of the evening were drank. The first toast in regular order was: “The Press—as lopg as we have a fear less press, so long will the cause of the Bachelors be vindicated.” Responded to by Mr. H. N. Obear, who said: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Bachelors’ Decorative Union: The Press of business has prevented me from preparing a sot oration, with which to press upon your feeble intel lects in impressive language the high aims and noble objects of the Press. 1 regret this, for as the poet has said “Oppressed, Oh! press—oh press, “ I forget the rest, bnt you are all per fectly familiar with the well known lines., Even, ,however, had I had abundance thread-bate subject. Every village newspaper ooutaine from time to tim. an article upon the subject, invariably entitled, ‘^Printer’s l«k,” Instead, therefore, of wearying you with this “thrice told tale,”T will* recite for yOur edification a poem by unknown ate thor of the sixteenth century, in which the occupation and mental endow ments of the presiding genius of this mighty engine whose heart throb moves the world, are graphically de scribed: Upon a stool There sits a fooL Beneath that fodl ThereisastooL Stool, • Fool, Fool, Stool, Old Stent, ‘——foot. Bat there is one kind of pirew with which yon, as bachelors, are totally unacquainted: but which is neverthe less the most interesting press of all. A! the witching hour of a summer’s night so sbbliihcly described iu the famous lines— “ ’Tis midnight, and the sitting sun Is slowly rising in the West, The rapid rivers slowly run, The frog is in his downy nest, The pensive goat, the sportive cow Hilarious hop from bough to bdugh.” When sifting oh a bench beneath a wide-spreading tree in hor father’s front yard, while the dewy air to heavy with the odor of the * flowers, and the warmth is tempered with a gentle zephyr whispering through the trees; When the drowsy song of the katydid is heard in the far away, and tho wakeful scream of the “akeeter” is audible iu the neared ha’hd; when the moonlight shimmered through the leaves breaks upon you both in a delicious half light, when she looks up to you with & startled you-can-ask- papa expression in her amethyst eyes, and you are morally certain a big red ant is crawling up yonr leg, while with arm arouiid her 'waist you gently “Press her yielding form to thine." Then gentlemen, and only then, can mm iti Tycoon, the Grand Mogul and bring to justice thrlllfbg elor.^ If 1 Chronicle aft th&tls worthy of record in the life and career of the bachelor, volumes up6n volumes might be written; or conld I elaborate the fruitful theme with that eloquence it Aesefrvdr, I might detain ydu till the “crack of dobm.” v Surrounded as t Am with so many gentlemen of our oMar, nothing that I conld say wottM be necessary, bnt for the fact that our invited guests are the representatives of a class of humanity hostile to the bachlur—they are here to advocate a measure to which we can- subscribe, and which ft OUr sworn dUty to Combat with all the vigor and Energy we can command. The class referred to are known in the vocabu lary of the world as “married men,” and mildewed mortals thev are, who sit down in the shade of melancholy to inoitita the misfortunes of their own makihg. And still they tell us of the happiness of the mam age state. There is a principle in human nature, and, bachelors, don’t you forget it, which makes men, ay, especially married men, lohg for company! Like the fox in the table, they think it only right, if they have gotten their tails’ bobbed, why, we should have ours bobbed too. Beware of this unfortunate class of oor fdlOUNCitizcnsl Why, talk about yonr women and the connnbial bliss upon which they dilate so prdfnseW, but I (ell you, gentlemen, if the world is bereft of its oaqhelors it will become ohe great fcdnse bif mourning. * * • Fresh from the bands of his Creator, the crowning of his handiwork, he is the cap-stone on creation’s temple 1 Devoted to his convictions of right, & ue to every h.stinct of his nature, liC stands forth, the embodiment and the impersonation of honor, courage and resolution. The bright-faced sun, the culm, silvery moon, the glittering stars, all sing tdgeuim* frf this giand truth iu one nnceasigg song, and echoing earth answers to their strains. The Union aims to preserve his honor and pro mote his happiness Arid tells him to aVoid the wily machinations of the feminine gender. Bnt if vou slight this solemn warning, take this advice {although I ai diced): Lean and flower to flower, like the ‘ Eastern bird of Hope,” but don’t for God’s sakty let her come near enough to sprinkle salt on yonr tails-, or you arc none sparrows^ See to it, that she keeps her distance—“hands ott’ and talk it out”! It will “lend enchant ment to the view”, and your beauty will glisten like a tin teapot on “the summit of a heaven-kissing hill”! But if'dispite all your audacious general ship, you are conquered at last, yield like a martyr and a hero to the “bliss ful agony of submission” and die in embrace of your conqueror 1 Next in order was the toast “The Day we Celebrate—the brightest day of the year td the members of our Order.

A. Gaillard, who said: Mr. President and Gentlemen: It Is refreshing to find so familiar a title among the august personages around this festive board. I am called upon to respond in behalf of the “bar”. Now there is in this phrase a supicions ambiguity, but I assume that the par ticular bar in question is that repre sented by the—equivalent expression —legal profession. Of this bar, I may say at random—for I have no prepared speech—that it is an element in the social organization of all civilized States, and has a place in the economy of all communities, except China, Tur key, Africa and that small fraction of the old Feastervilte Clnb, that in the list campaign united with the Green back party. It must be confessed that its reputation in the community is de cidedly mixed, varying from that at taching to a most exalted and honora ble profession to that expressed by these familiar anecdotes: “The bar is composed of a set of learned gentle men, who are exceedingly active in rescuing your property from your opponents’to keep it themselves”; and by this—“Lawyers are very much adi dieted to ooutiiigent ices, which often suit this situation—if they lose the case they get nothing, and if they win it, I he client gets notbingi.” But, Mr. President, I have RAid that the profession of law ft a factor in all civilized society, and so it must be of necessity. Wherever civil and consti tutional liberty exists in an enduring form, it must rest upon the supremacy of the law; and wherever human ac tion is controlled regulated by la#, there maet be these whose function it it to learn, expound and teach the law, and to apply it to the transactions of life. But this, again, it too serious. If I were called upon, Mr. President, to exercise my legal acquirements in this club, I would invoke the powers of the law in arraigning the whole club for serious infraction of your organic law, from the President down, including the imposing potentates—the Grand Maharjah of Madagascar, the of time, yet the magnitude of the sub- roulf ‘ 6,W to talk of the wine press, the ject would ’nave qppuiicd me. 8? “ stance, What press: Forirt- Do yon wish me of the wine press, the clothes press, the express, the liberty of the press, or the printing press. All these are useftil in their way, particularly the wine press and the lemon sqneezer. Presuming it to be the printing press, however, I fearlessly state that the Press ft the most powerftil lever of this present age. It ft the mould—- sometimes the glass—of public opinion, and so netimes it succeeds in remuner ating the proprietors—this, bnt seldom, however. The far-reaching effects, the powerful influence and superhuman Wisdom of the press, is now but a Grand all; and I would bring to justice the Prosecuting Attorney himself, who, gnilty himself, has faded to detect and punish these offenders. I have wit nessed much that recalls these lines, taken at random fVotn an old collection I resorted to in younger d .ys— “The gentle pressure and the touch, The least glance, better understood than words, Which still say all and ne’er can say too much.’’ Bn* this is really too exciting, and I must desist, for t see you are restive under these tender thoughts! In conclusion, let me tell this com forting anecdotci in which the legal rights of lotfek‘8 are defined. It was a decision of a instiee’s court of Illinois— which though proceeding from a true “court of errors” and from another jurisdiction, would still have been pro nounced good law by your Grand Chancellor, when he sat upon the wool sack: An Illinois parent, entering a parlor, occupied by his daughter and her young man, was forcibly ejected by the latter^ He brought suit against the young man. and the justice ruled as follows! “I have heard both sides. Courting ft a public necessity and must dot be interrupted. A parent, under the laws of Illinois, must not enter the parlor when courting is afoot. The action is dismissed and the plain tiff must pay the costs.” The next toast Was “The Married Man—he who is willing to sacrifice himself for the good of his Country, shall always hare oor heartfelt sym pathy.” Reponded to by Major T. W. Wood ward, who said i [Unhappily Miyor Woodward Was unable to attend. Had be been pres ent, he would have said: * 4 * •] The next toast was “Tbe Bachelor- in the immortal language of the Akoond of Swat, ‘The noblest work of God.’ What a happy period in the world’s history when it was alone in habited by the bachelor Adam.” Responded to by Grand Prosecuting Attorney C. A. Douglass, who said! Mr. Presdent and Gentlemen} 1 am too ftill for Utterance 1 But in re sponse to the sentiment just offered, I cannot refrain sayinif a word upon the character of tbe gentleman who bears the distinguished title of tbe “Baete Responded to by Grand President Lauderdale, who said: Fellow-members of the Bachelors’ Protective Union: Allow me to 'con gratulate you and myself on being spared to see once more the dawn of another first day of March—the day of all the days to worthy bachelors; the day upon which we assemble to recount our adventures with the enemy during the past year, and whilst over flowing with joy and mirth at our vic tories within the past twelve months; still finding time to ‘drop a tear over the graves of our comrades who, although dead to us forever more, will still be found in “arms” I By a provision of Providence in regulating the affairs of this world, no joy ft so pure that it may not be tinged with sadness; uo pleasure so great that it cannot be dimmed by sorrow; no sun so bright that it cannot be clouded; the sweet is always mixed with the bitten And while we have a great deal to be proud of in what we see around ns to-ui^lft, Still there is an other side to the picture that is needed to truly represent the lives of the members of this Bachelors’ Protective Union. It ft true, fellow-members, that we have a goodly number around this festive board this evening, still our minds cannot help reverting to the past. Amidst all this revelry, who does not find himself sparing a thought to the tate of our comrades who have fallen by the roadside since onr last meeting? Reineinbcr that for the last four months this gallant host has been without aCaptain, as he has “Centered” upon other society; and the tall and manly form of the Grand Prosecuting Attorney rises at my left hand no more to thunder forth his charges upon you? devoted heads. Both of these Webe charter members; men who should have been strongest in the faith, and S et where are they? Indeed, by the chavior of some of our brothers dur^ ing the last twelve months, oiir society came well nigh earning the reputation which some outsider saw fit to give it, viz., a society for the aid and promo tion of marriage rather than its pre vention; It is true we have only had two “deaths”, yet there arc other cases almost hopeless, and to whom I think death would be a relief—that they would welcome rather than dread iti Now, geutlemon, as I have hastily reviewed the dark side of tbe picture, we will turn over and take a glance at the bright side, and here it is before us. This is really the first meeting wc have bad in which the ranks have been en tirely full; the limit has been reached, and although tbe past year has carried with it some of our best members, still, considering everything, think we escaped lightly. Some one has said that the number of marriages in Sooth Carolina ft regulated by tbe oat crop, and you aft know what a tremendous crop we had last year, the prospects this year, we will not lose a single member; When this Society was first organized its foes redicted that our first meeting would the last; but we have shown them that it was ito foolish boast, when we said that we would make this Society the most popular in town. We have been organized now for five years, and we are stronger to-day tbau ever be fore; Allow me to thank you for the high and distinguished houor yon have conferred. That you are '.ware of the preserve our stars and keep them at a telescopic distance.” Responded to by Grand Mogul G. W. Ragsdale, who said: In re8ponse,to that toast let me say it is with some diffidence that I as sume to speak on such a grand and inexhaustible theme. Hu would be a reckless man who could look upon those heavenly bodies, constantly re 1 volvfog about him and not be im pressed with a sense of his impending “disolution.” But aside from other considerations,'if would bo Ht-becom- ing this occasioa^tq speak lightly of this adversary by Whom not a few of onr most trusted and powerful mem bers have been eternally silenced. Fortunate would It bo to keep her at a telescopic distance, but I for one, eeni tlemen, do not believe this to be possi ble, and if they cannot be kept away from tis\ if a conflict they will have, why they must acknowledge the maxim that “to the victor belongs the spoils.” Q« looking for the promi nent features of womans character, Mr. President, we are met at once by the dlfficnlty that they Are all promi nent. It has been truly said that she is the “most remarkable c all walkin’ or creopin’ animals^’ But towering perhaps a little above others is her marvellous capacity for change, and this pestilent tendency, I hesitate not to say, has been tiro ynin of countless millions of men. It is chiefly on this account that so manv men have de clined to haVc anything, further to do with them, and it is justly owing to this that “no man can tell ..what the morrow will bring forth.” But, sir, the characteristic which has brought her so universally into notice, the characteristic upon which she relies almost entirely for distinction, I must not neglect to mention. £ refer, gen tlemen, to the appalling felicity with which she speaks the mother-tongue in every conceivable way by the pul pit and’the press, by the poet and the philosopher, the evils growing out of this peculiar accomplishment have been fearlessly (assailed, but it eur; vives, it stands to-day a monument bf 1 home rule. * * • • * If the thread of the shortest discourse be not straight, genttemen, it is surely some apology tliat it runs through a vast and complicated subject. After the regular toasts, the Secre tary produced a number of hills against different members of the Union, for damages sustained by long-suffering parents and relatives, in the way of 1 horse hire, wear and tear of front gates, and reckless consumption of candles, oil and fire-wood by the mem bers in their efforts to overcome theft enemy. After the satisfactory adjust ment of these peenniary matters, the Grand Prosecuting .Attorney read his bill of indictment against the seueral officers who had flagrantly violated the constitution and rules of the Order, In deep silence and with heads fiii- covcred, sympathetic resolutions in memory of the beloved brothers who, after a gallant but ineffectual struggle, had at last fallen victims of women— the arch enemy of the Order—were offered and adopted, “As so midst mirth and frolic the hours sped away”, and finally the time of parting cahto, and naught but a long to cherished remains of that festive scene., rxbo.
