Now look out again for European | war clouds of varying darkness and ! size to suit news exigencies, since J Rassia has taken umbrage at Austria's j success in controlling the election of j the Prince of Bulgaria. $ | ? Tab speech of Mr. David Dudley Field in London on "Wednesday in fevor of international arbitration was an eloquent and forcible plea for that very desirable but very difficult scheme for promoting- peace between nations. ( The new carpet for the East Room ; of the White House is described as' j ! cream color, with chocolate border a ad j covered with a small flowering vine i with brown leaves and light pink and blac blossoms. "Jefiersonian simplloatr,^ says the World, "still dwells as a weeping hermit at the tomb at ^lonti cello." ? There is no doubt that the difiiculties between Russia and Austria have been greatly aggravated by the election ot the Prince of Bulgaria. A grandson of Louis Philippe, a IIun garian ana a uainoiic. it a-nam - that his power will never bo voluntarily used to the disadvantage of Austro-Hnngarr. These is a carious coincidence in the fact that just as Mr. Cyrus Field retired with a s'ight financial chill and a pain in the bank, Mr. George Gould was reported ill with a "slight plethora." Exactly how the sli ht plethora hit George, or whether he got it by contagion with Mr. Field, is not given to the anxious public, but the case is suspicious. ? ^ There is something in dreams after all. A man in Barrington, Fa., dreamed, three nights in succession that there was a box of gold coin buried beneath an oak tree on his farm, an/1 then he concluded to make a search. While digging with a pick he struck his left foot and nearly amputated his great toe. Then he limped home and resolved to dream no more about gold being found under an oak tree. Jobx Willakd Young is the youngest son of the late Brigham Young's Tc nhnnt fortv-three ilkOi. n AAV* uv w ( years of age and has ten sons and ten . daughters. He says his father left an estate worth about $2,500,000. lie willed about $22,000 to each one of his children. Brigham Young has as yet no monumejt. He lies buried near what was called "ihe Iron House," in Salt Lake City, and his family have * -* ?*-*-?nn :i rrfrTuiT'" design to mark his grave. Mr. George has occasion to doubt whether his championship of the case of Dr. McGlynn will prove an advanftage to him in winning sapport of workingmcn. At the picnic at Erie a number of Catholic Knights of Labor pat themselves on record as opposed to Mr. George's theories, and in the evening his lectnre on land aind labor was internpted bj load protests when he eulogized Dr. McGlynn. Mr. George ar-if his friends should take warning by this incident, and be mindful of the ineradicable prejudice of the American people against mixing religion with politics.?JV. Y. Star. A genius writes to the World from Walker Springs, Ala., that he has -??_ _ "invented a machine that will stop the wind from blowing, stop all storms sach as syclones, straight wind-storms, snow-storms, hail-storms," etc. The inventor's mode of spelling the word cyclones proves that he has a highly developed streak of originality. Just at present the virtue of his device r?/\f onnnnl fr? tho imagination. UWVJ ?v? "f f o With the thermometer up in the nineties a machine for stopping the wind seems to be aboat the last thing the public would demand. It is doubtfnl if an inventor would be permitted at present to prevent a "straight windstorm,K or even a small-sized- snow$' " ' storm. An inventor should learn to keep his finger on the public purse. Ahead of Edgefield.

When the elimax has been finally capped there is no use in going farther. Old Edgefield shonld now yield gracefully. Any attempt to beat the record as it now stands would be worse than a waste of valuable time. Mr. Withers and bis Critics. The editor of the Abbeville Medium < was able to criticise the valedictory < address of our young friend, Mr. < "Withers, before the Eupradian Society, i * la.-- ~ I omy oy resort 10 ? spwxes ui wrv>u quibling quite at variance with the roles of fair discussion. Suppose he did say "it is uow very ' . difficult to bang a white man iu South J Carolina for killing another wbitc 1 man; but it is impossible to I1211 g one J for killing a negro," is it not manifest c that all bnt the most hypercritical ?j? i?-3 -1? x 1 1 u ; would uuuersuinu mat uu lucaui suui i f killing aa constituted murder? The idea and not the word should in all *< cases be first attended to if possible. s But Mr. Withers disclaims the language that has been attributed to him, and auswers his critics fully and efFec- < lively for himself. There are those 1 who think that the parts of his speech \ whicli give these patriotic editors so ( much tronble are abundantly sas- { iained by facts of painfal and con- - MBffflWlMBIffi 1'1" ?fail ii latfnWPB?eaTi r: a spicuous notoriety. Wc choose to be- i lievc that his boldness of speech will serve his native State much belter than the editorial criticism ol those j who do not desire to hear the truth? j who set np bare shams, naked and f without shame. j Is it Merely a Temporary Triumph ? It happens every now and then in the trial of important criminal causes in which the public lake great interest i that the attorneys for the 'State permit their zeal to run entirely away with their judgment. Often when they h?ve e*> idence amply sufficient to conrtK<?vr r.ff*oT nnrl liTlOll tliC admission of other testimony of doubtful competency. The trial judge relying unavoidably to a great extent ou the State's attorney admits it. The appellate court, seeing no way whatever around the error, orders the long, tedious trial to be gone through wilh again. We predict that this very thing has happened in the recent trial of Jacob Sharp. The attorneys for the prosernfir.n W1 flhniul.int lofral evidence to i wv,v* "'O onvict, nevertheless they offered testimony, which was admitted, to show that Sharp had offered one Pottle a bribe at Albany about a year before the offense charged, and in respect to matters having absolutely no connection -with the indictment. There was some authority for receiving this testimony no doubt, but the attorneys for the prosecution could at the same time j very easlv have found well considered : cases in which it has been held incompetent. The defendant's lawyers no doubt rejoiced when this proor was admitted ; having no case at all they would naturally be only too glad to rclv on the errors of the prosecution. A Simple Question of Fact. The Barnwell People defends Judge J Aldrich in bis recent animadversions J on the State press; and after pointing out tbc way in which its misguided contemporaries have gone astray, concludes that "all this miscellaneous denunciation of lawlessness was started by the malicious brains of slanderous Yankee editors." We are pleased at all times to adopt the most cheerful view of an unpropiticus situation, but we do not wish to be numbered among those who "having eves see not and ear5? hear not" the things that most concern them. AVe had supposed that all intelligent observers perceive the fact that the la-.v of homicide is rapidly becoming a dead letter in South Carolina, and we still suppose that those who have failed to perceive it have been curiously oblivions to the acts and doings of the Courts of Sessions of this State during the last few years. The color of the skin has come to carrv with it astonishing privileges and immunities. To convict a white man of murder is now next to impossible. A,few zealous friends with a few dollars to spend is all that he needs to pull through, Judge Aldrich and the editor of the "Barnwell People Ja ihe-cmxirary notwithstanding'. It would be-sad indeed in this condition of things if a disinterested press could be estopped by the corrupt verdict of a jury. Courts do not sit in sccrc-t. The facts on which juries base their conclusions are published to {he world, and to the facts-the public have a right* to appeal. The legitimate cffice of the newspaper is right here. The press owes a duty to the people which it will discharge, regardless of the idiosyncrasies of any man. It will spare neither judge nor jury. In this great free country nothing is beyond the reach of just criticism. Prisoner at the Bar. How Will You be Tried? The policemcn of the press have about succeeded in tracking the negro compositors to the office of the Press and Banner. So that journal will haro trv arknoa ledffe the error of Its ways, and return at once to first principles, or boldly face the threatened proscription. Several of the State panel's endorse the sentiments of the Newberry Observer, and promise to have nothing to do with one who shows so little respect for "social barriers." On the other hand, while it excites the surprise of others to think that this ferocious enemy of negro education should be all the while giving practical training to "the man and brother," it is treated as a purely business transaction. Says the Greenville Neics, for instance: It is no business of ours, and we do not question the right of any man to manage his business as he likes. But thu uj...;..?vn nf nnbir_ precept and private practice extorts our wonder. "We expected the Neves to concede this right, lor it is a journal not without breadth of view. We may go a little further, however, and sav for ourselves that we not oniy have no objection to a man's managing his own business, but arc equally content that laborers, be they negroes, Chinese or Ubimpanzees, snaii sceK sucn employment as they may hare capacity for entering. This talk about social barriers is altogether irrelevant. Social equality cannot be forced under any conditions of life. It will take care of itself and its would-be guardians need give themselves no further trouble. In fact there is very little of that sort of thing in the world anyhow. Even in Lhis boasted country of republicanism Mr. A takes cognizance of his immense removal from the humble and lowly Z when there is no question of ;olor in it. But there is no ine in moralizing ibout it.

VJ At.* If the farmers of South Carolina did not get the kind of legislation they need it is their own fault. They have a large majority iu every county in the State, and can send just whom they please to the Legislature to represent them.? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. We will not go far wrong in pronouncing the foregoing a fair sample of what has formed the staple product of many of our exchanges for a loDg time, and wc hope it will be taken in good part when we say that we are becoming heartily urea 01 sucn suggestions. It would seem that those who offer them have come to think that the old formula of "a government of the people, for the people, and by the people," is really but a poor exposition of Democracy after all, and shuuld be amended so as to read, "a government of the farmers, for the farmers, and bv the farmers." I Such proposals, however, are in fact insulting to those whom it is intended in this way to propitiate. Where is the man who is mean enough to acknowledge even to himself a wish to nse the power of legislation to.elevate his class at the expense of others? We defend the farmers of this State against any such imputation. True, a few noisy light weights with great flourish of trumpets have already proclaimed such a political creed; but we may forgive these, when tvft reflect that thev know not what they do. Formulate the proposition in intelligible terms and put it before the thinking men of this State who follow the profession of agriculture, and it will be promptly repudiated with scorn and contumely. The farmers of this State want enacted wise ar.a just laws, that shall operate on the whole people?laws that shall be just to the farmer, and just, at the same lime, to all who have relations with him. Ca . the farmer on the floor of the Legislature look upon himself as being merely the representative of his class? If so, he is narrow indeed. Could Democracy be readjusted on snob principles? We refose to entertain the assumption. Let no law be proposed that is not a fair rule of action for all classes. A TRIP TO TEXAS. KUilliER XIN'E. Messrs. Editors: The good people of Ennis point out, with pride, to the stranger their public school building, and well they may, for they have one here of which they may justly bs proud. In company with mine host and the superintendent, who also was making his home for the time with friend Erwin, we pay this school a visit. The building, a commodious structure, is divided into a number of class-rooms, is furnished throughout with patent desks, map*, charts, globes and black-boards, and furnishes ample accommodations for the five hundred children who daily assemble here to be instructed and fitted for useful vocations in after life. It stands in the centre of an entire block, which is enclosed with a neat paling fence and . divided, in rear of rhe b.nilding, by a plank fence into two parts, designed as separate play grounds for the sexes. A well is located immediately on the dividing line, so arranged as to supply water on either side. The yard for the fcirls is furnished with ropes, swings, etc., the other being supplied with bats, balls, etc., for the amusement of the boys. The children were enjoying themselves as only children can at the time of our arrival, but were soon called from their sports by one of their number, a little fellow of about ten or twelve years of age, who rattled a drum for that purpose. At the tap of the drum they all "fall in" as a military company, or rather companies, and march in by twos at the command "forward." \Ve follow the crowd and go up to a large hall in the second story, where we are honored by a seat on the rostrum and get a good view of the hundreds of little faces before us. The opening exer cises consisted only or singing, witn a piano accompaniment. This over, each teacher, at the head of his or her class, retires to their respective class-rooms. We turn to Prof. Parsons and exclaim, "My, oli: the children!" "Yes," he replied, "thi3 is mighty rich land around here." The superintendent has no class, but his business is to superintend. "We go with him on his rounds and note theimproved methods of teaching now in vogue, finding ourself iuadvertently contrasting them with the mode which prevailed- in our boyhood days, when a long switch was placed over the mantle in the little log house, and we were told to "look heavenward." The class in mathematics, some fifty odd, was presided over by a lady," who evidently understood her business. More than half of this number were at the blackboards, either explaining their work Qn^DQTTnrincr tn /^pninhpr KJL UU1^^UU> wmvMi the knotty problem assigned them. The class in geography was also under the guidance of a lady, and was composed of little fellows* about ten years old. Upon entering this, room, the, superintendent canea out, "All who ha**e a sharp lead pencil, a piece of dr-wing'paper, a rule and India robber, will holdup their right hand," when up goes twenty or twenty-five little hands. "Now," said he, "we will commence to draw a map. From the top of the paper one-half j inch and three-fourths oi* an inch from the left hand side we will draw an horizontal line eleven and one-half inches long; beginning at the same ! point, we will draw a perpendicular line." "While this was being done he struck up a lively song? Oil! Kobin, robin rea-ureast, Oh! robin sing so sweetly, which was taken up by the whole class. We thought we had discovered the reason why these children were so hard to keep away from school.

Returning home, we drive out of our way x> call on another old Chester man ?M r.McCollum. This gentleman, who is now an old man, we met in the r Dad near his house, and here is wtat he said: "ilister I had no iearniu; ;; my father died when I was a little boy, and I never got to go to school, but many is ] the dollar I have packed from New 1 Orleans lor cow steers nnce i nave been here. The first yeai of the war I branded one thousand <alves, but a man came along and offer id me such a * pile of money for my her d that I sold 5 out, and if you will come up to the house I will show you tfce brand new ! hundred dollar bills nov.

This oM gentleman J went West when land w;.s selling at 1 twenty-five cents an acre but did not buy a foot of it; simply built him a l house and became what is called a squatter.

"Well," &aid I, "It s no use for ' any long talk abont it, you git ont the < money and Pit go ketch the mule. ' This, with the sale of a l>eef, raised the two hundred dollars, ano nere i am yet." To our left and adjoini ng the Mc- j Cullam farm is another, v hieh to our j mind comes very near filling all the \ requirements of the ideal farm and i home.

S lrrounding i it are the laborers' cottag ? and the large barn, cribs and stock ; >ens, which latter have also a goodly supply of shade trees and a liberal supply of water. In a trough in c ue of these pens we noticed about a bu ihel of salt. Near by is the farm of abo it one hundred acres, which is well cultivated in corn, wheat, oats and Millet, and which yields an abundanc i of winter food for the stock, which i he remain^-P.*kanify >it nrt*ooo cnn. 4 UCl Ul LliO xaiiU) i/uu^ iu i uoqj ou^/~ I ports daring the sammer.

An intelligent gentleman from this eitv snent the dav at a Dleas int gathering in the country recently, md he says he never heard the prohibition question mentioned daring the Jay. This view of the state of the ;ase is supported by the tact that so few, comparatively, have signed the petition for the holding of the election* Only a little over sixteen hundred people out of the whole county petitioned for the election, and this ifter signatures had been canvassed for ever since the middle oflast March, [f anything has been made plain, it is that the people of this county did not desire an election on prohibition after the Murray plain. (Columbia Record.) On Sunday, the 3rd, the Rev. W. B.

It would be well for all if more such sermons were preached, for the people have no such strong attachment to the government as they should have. Indeed, it seems to be ^onsirlerfid the correct thin<r nowadavs to pick the government to pieces and to revile all its acts. The duty to LJsesar is just as imperative as the duty to God, for God has established government among men, and He expects them to maintain it in purity and to )bey loyally its commands. Contempt and violation of the laws of the State inevitably induce contempt and violation of the laws of God. (Greenville Num.) There can never be a stronger or more painful illustration of the results 3f ignorance and the urgent need for the public schools than is given by the fact that in this Stale the whire men are joining the Mormons, while the oegrcs enroll themselves among the Co-operative Workers.

The Mount Lebanon (New j York) Shakers are a quiet com- j munity, secluded from the fret j and worry of the outside "world, j They are widely known, how- j ever, for their strict honor and | probity in business. The Shakers "believe that nar j tore has a remedy for every dis- j ease. A few have "been found? j the rest are as yet unknown, j Many were discovered by acei- j dent. Others; came to light as j the result of patient experiment I and research. Nervous Djfspepsia is a com- j paratively new disease, growing j out of tlie conditions of modern j life. It is a joint affection o? the digestive organs and of the I nervous system. These two \ were formerly treated as sepa- ; rate ailments, and it was left \ for the clear-sighted Shakers j to prove tli at the basis of this ; terrible and often fatal compli- : cation lies chiefly in the disord- j ?red and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. The^ reasoned thus:?"if we can in- : t n _ T_ . auce tne stomacii tu uu iw> work, and stimulate the excre- ' tire organs to drive out of the I body the poisonous waste mat- ' ters which remain after the life- j fiving elements of the food j ave been absorbed, we shall : have conquered Nervous Dys- j pepsia and Nervous Exhaust- j ior.

To a greater o?: less extent half the people cz this country suffer from it? both sexes and all ages. In no country in the world are there 60 many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or continual headache ; a dull pain at the base of "the "brain; bad breath; nau- | suwins prwrtatirvna +1ip rismcr I ?? ? j * ??? of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppression and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wakefulness and loss of sleep; dismncl iT'i-fT-i -p/-v/"vr1 ZiT* jvn tttTi An gUOU Ml XUXl.
