They well 11 know that with mo?t farmers their : sons cannot receive college education ' if they have to pay for tuition.

These frcn tlenien say tne poor larmei ou^m nvi to be raxed to educate the rich. Why, who pa\s the bulk of taxes? The amount appropriated to the South Carolina Colleges requires one who iwns $1,000 to pay a tax of teH cents (or two cigar* or one drink) a year, and it lakes $10,000 to produce o >e dollar rax. And yet tlu-y say that thi? tax oppresses poor farmer?. They don't object to free school tax, and yet tne College appropriation would not run the fiee ?ehools lour days in the v ear. These <rcntlenvn cannot fool me; thev knt>w that those of hisrh ' 1 ?:..J uuivuon ana inuueu minu* run mc State; and hence don't want the sons of poor farmers to have the only p\>s*ible chance of a high education. All 'hose things must he guarded against. L"t u< nold a convention and iiiMnit none except those who are farmers, and tanners only. Mo^t of the ! lawyers are also farmers, bat these | must not be admitted. Also care j should be laken to exclude those tner| chants who are also farmers; for the | majority of these also own farms. I Let the* convention be of Simon-pure I fanners. ! From the foregoing it will be readily | seen to what extent some men will i allow their prejudices to run against j a certain other class of men, who in J their imagination they think are their j natural enemies, and are using every j effort to df-feat the progress of the j rlass to which they belong. The I author of the above communication j orgets that it is an acknowledged fact .! that upon the farmers of the country j depend the prosperity and progress of every professional man, whether he j be a lawyer or merchant, and it would certainly be the height of folly to even attempt to prevent in any way the | progress of that class of men to which I the writer of the above belongs. He | thinks it is high time that some check j was pur upon that class of man de i nominated their "natural enemies," 01 i account of the fact that they are ap | propriating all the fat office* of th< ; State. He again forgets that it was i ! constituency largely composed o | farmers which elected these men t< j office, and we are forced to the belie j tnat when they were elected they (th< ! farmers believed them to be suitabli ; aud competent men to fill the offices t< | which they were elected.

A remarkable outbreak of religious | hallucination occurred on this iaiaml | this year. About January last a report : was out that a young girl had seen { visions and was under some influence | not belonging to this world. fL r*cx; citeir.ent soon communicated itself to j otlu-r-:. and in the course of a few weeks | i some twenty younjr giris uerc aifected. They then organi/.'-d religious meetings :in<! much excitement was. a;:*.-:!. I went at onre to s.v what took place at these ir.ee'. in us. Abrut iifty p< oplo sat round in a room singing.. clapping i hands and stamping the feet, keeping time lo a kind of usonoUuiio ehant. The girls who saw visions were standing in the center, sometimes walking up and down. They had a vacant kind of stare. ! Gradually the singing uuiekened, until I at last it became fast and furious. Then j the girls would dance, shout, and bark I like dogs. i After twentv minutes of this they | would fall down with a shriek. Their j strumitis, cries, and foamings at the I mouth were dreadful to see, and in many j cases it took four or live men to hold I them still. After the lit was over they would lie exhausted for about one hour: then, when they came to, they gave very detailed accounts of the visions they had seen. A great deal of these visions was, of course nonsense, but one thing was remarkable?they spoke of people doing things many miles from the place. Upon inquiry it was found in some cases that what they had seen corresponded exactly with the events. , One most remarkable feature in this 1 ^ 1 '* ***?' fA OUtD1 CUR "WllS tnill it iii> iiuL i.'uiitiiiLHi iv one spot. Almost simultaneously in ' every settlement on the island (the island is forty-five miles long and twelve broad in places) similar outbreaks Recurred. iiirls living :il a distance of ' five or ten miles from the scene of the ' "shouting meetings," as tliey were call[ ed. would be seized. Being seized with a kind of frenzy, they would mn, as if by inspiration, to the spot. where 1 the rest were assembled, no matter how i far. ; Most of those attacked with the fits . were people who belonged to the baptist k /i ,.,..,,,^1,. ?|?,:r visinrK won! society, v/uiisu^inmujt mvu . ? not of the Madonna, but of the distinci tive predestination doctrines of their . sect. Very glowing accounts were , i given of the various punishments and tortures reserved for the wicked in hell. 1 and they were most liberal in disper.sf ing these punishments among their > friends. ^ Up and down the island about 400 or 500 people were seized, and it was at 5 tirst thought it was a kind epidemic of 3 hysteria. In a few cases girls of highly j respectable character were seized, and, g although they did not see visions, yet 8 for weeks they would have fits daily, and e such was their superhuman strength that I have seen a young girl of 16 u struggle out of the grasp of lour strong s men. The outbreak lasted from January to July, anil at one time it was feared it would lead to serious consequences, for all the people who gave credence to the visitors neglected work and abandoned themselves to holding meetings '' day and night for singing, shouting, barking, and listening to accounts of the " visions seen. In the daytime, and especially on f Sundays, they had processions with banners. This led to some bad feeling, and '* in a few eases the law had to be appealY etl to in the interests of peace. It was a * singular tiling that although they organg ized themselves into a sect, and all who ^ disbelieved in the visions were "hcre* tics," yet tiny showed the utmost eourt esy and good-will toward the church, but toward their own particular de.111*1 flw> VOIMAIK axiu bltv TJH.1VV*.; VWI\.* wvv?w D they displayed great animosity.

Many of our pro^rss-loviivg-?con" temporaries would be rather alarmed at > the discovery that the principle of our social, medical, and euucatJonai re> forms during the iast two hundred years - has been a restored trust in the compei tc'/icc of our natural iiislitintx. .So for' eign was that rule of conduct to the moral standards of the middle ages that - its importance was recognized only in its apparent exceptions, the supposed "evil propensities of our unregcner::*.c nature," such as poison-habits, sloth, * and sexual excesses. The real significance of such aberrations would reveal ; the difference between natural appetites ' and abnormal (artilicially acquired) api petcncics, and teach us the necessity of 1 ir?r^vi?irr tlm iticfc tr* ! nil persuasive instincts, and occasional1 ly to otherwise unexplained aversions. But even within those limits a critical study of our protective int.iitions would suprisingly show in how many respects : the hygienic reforms of the last two hundred years could have been anticipated by the simple teachings of our senses. For the wards of instinct a temperance sermon would be as superfluous i as a lecture on the folly of drinking boiling petroleum, for to the palate of a j norm:u living being?human or animal ; ?alcohol is not onlv unattractive, but j violently repulsive, and the baneful passion to which that repugnance can be forced to yield is so clearly abnormal that only "the infatuation of the natural depravity dogma could ever mistake it ; for innate appetite.
