proposition which I respectr..ii..
...?i? -
iiiiij innrvc lU VAJ11IIC1I I
u Mr. Elder, a Virginia artist,
has painted a full length, life-size
portrait ot the late Gen. It. E. Leo,
which has given in Virginia universal
satisfaction. Several of our
Southern cities have given Mr. El
der orders for copies of this supo
rior painting. It was painted from
life, Gen. Lee giving Mr. Elder all
the sittings required. My pover?
ty alone preveuts ine from carrying
out a cherished wish to paint
the picture of Gen. Lee, and when,
some months ago, I had arranged
to do so, und the lamented subject
had promised me the sittings, his
unexpected illness and death put
a tinal stop to my purpose. I
have been cncouiaged by several
of our citizens to propose, through
your honorublo body, to paint a
copy of Mr. Elder's original picture,
life size, and present it to tbu
City of Greeuville, it my fellowcitizens
will bear my expenses to
and from Richmond, and while
there painting the picture. My
friends are ready to further the
subscription, and I respectfully ask
Council to give the proposal their
approval and support.
14 Very respectfully submitted,

"Tuesday, Dec. 5tli, 1871."
On motion of Alderman Walter,
fifty dollars was appropriated to
further the purposes of Mr. Guerry,
provided the balance was subscribed
by the citizens and friends
of Air. Gncrry.
The Mayor submitted a letter
from His Excellency the Governor
in reference to the sale of the State
Works to Council.
On motion of Alderman Cline,
Resolved, That tho Committee

provided, in their judgment, the
a;ne can be purchased on reasouuole
terms.

To the'Honorable City Council,
Greenville, South Carolina:
Gentlemen : Some time since,
tbe Council appointed a Commit
tee to wait upon ine in regard to
tlie purchase ot^art of lot of Dev.
B. Manly, for the purpose of
straightening street in front of lot:
afterwards your honorable body
appointed nu appraiser to appraise
said lot,' 1 to appoint one for Dr.
Manly. Said appraisement has
been held. (Result, officially, I
l have not received.) Said Ap
praisers have assessed damages to
said lot to tbe oxtent of about one
hundred and fifty dollars, or a
new fence in front of said lot.
As representative of Dr. 13.
x i *
xuluiuj} x iu enter mis my
Proteet to said result of Ap
praisers, on tbe following
grounds:
1. Never having been waited
upon officially by tlio Committee.
The Chairman of the Committee
had a conversations it h me, after
hearing from Dr. Manly, and I
stated to him I thought it was
worth $500, and new fence, and
requested him to call together his
Committee ; which Committee was
never called, and I was never
waited upon by tbem. Next no
ticel bad was that an Appraiser
hurt Knon I... K...1 ?
?vv? uj IHIUY.
2. No notice was given me ot
the time of appraisement, nor did
1 know when it was held until at
tor it was decided, and do not now
know where the line runs cutting
off the lot, except from hearsay,
expecting to be present when the
appraisement was held.
3. Satisfied the Council does
not desire to.injure any of its citizens,
without just compensation, I
object to the valuo placed upon
that portion of the lot cut off for
purpose of windening said street;
at the same time, do not wish to
convey the impression that the
Ap, naisers did not act conscientiously
in the matter, not having the
facts before them, and supposed
Dr. Manly desired tho straighten
ing of the street. Dr. Manly is
satisfied with the street as it is.
As representative of Dr. Manly
I beg to render this my Protest,
and trust gentleman of the Council
will give it due consideration.
If the Council shall soc proper to
appoint an Appraiser, wlioee opinion
lias not been formed, I will do
the same, and will meet with
them, aud after consultation about
tho fine to bo run, will agree to
leave it to them ; they to select a
third party if they cannot agree.
Your humblo servant,
Julius C. Smm.ii,
Agent for Dr. Manly.
On motion, the Report ot the
i %
Appraisers was received and
adopted.
On motion of Alderman Cline,
Resolved, That it is tho desire
and purpose of this Council that
its administration shall he characterized
by a spirit of progress,
| looking to the improvement ol
the city in all it bearings, wheih
er financial, commercial or mechanical.
Resolved, further, That no action
of the Council shall ho so
construed as to imply partiality
for Mie improvement of one sec
tion of tho city over another, and
each st'tion shall ha entitled to
tho favorable consideration of
Council, in just proportion to its
location and merit.
Resolved, further, That the
thanks of this Council are due
Capt. John Westficld for the spirit
of improvement and enterprise
manifested by the etfort he has
made in bringing into market a
large number of fino building lots,
heretoforo lunch desired to be
had. / 1
Resolved, further, That the action
recently taken by Council, as
to tlio receiving of Washington
Street and John Street, be ho
altered and amended as that they
be received unconditionally.
Resolved, That a copy ot these
Resolutions be sent to Capt. \Vcatfield.
On motion^ Dr. .A D. Hoke and
Robert McKay were appointed
Appraisers to assess the value ot
the laud propro6fed to t>e taken by
the city for the purpose of opening
a street, from a point on the
Buncombe Street, north of Mrs.
Elford's lot, and ruuning north-'
east to a point ou C. B. Stone's
land.
On motion of Alderman Ilammett,
Resolved, That tho street foi ce
be discharged after this week,
and only a sufficient number of
hands be employed during the
winter months to keep up the
most urgent repair* on the streets.

A Word to Young MenSidney
11. Stuart, the celebrated
New \ ork criminal lawyer, who
died the other day, was a Beltmade
man. He started out in life
as a saddler's apprentice, and at
the ai/e of twenty wxa urm-et.lv
able to read and write. But the
boy bad energy, ambition and
faith in himself. A lew years of
bard and solitary study enabled
him to leave tbe saddler's shop,
and step by step, to ascend tbe
ladder ot professional success. 11c
made both fame and fortune.
There is a lesson in tbe lives of
such men, and it should not be allowed
to pass unheeded. It is a
very common thing to hear our
youug men remark that the war
ruiued their educational prospects.
They could full into no greater
error. If they would begin the
work of self-culture in earnest,
they could soon make up for lost
time and obtain a first-class cduca- ]
tion. Begin the work this winter ! |
We have a good library in the
city, and books are In reach of
every one. Organize literary societies,
debating clubs, and private
classes. Let billiard rooms and
saloons alone. They are the
avenues to perdition, and ruin
those who frequent them, mentally,
morally and physically. An
hour or two every night devoted
to mental culture would be pleasant,
stimulating and improving.?
Great progress could be made even
in one winter, ai d the result would
be that grandest triumph of human
energy?a self-made man 1

lowing summary of the destruction
i by the Michigan fires has been
> supplied to the Cleveland Leader.
The brief recital is more suggestive
of misery and wretchedness than
that of burned squares and business
bloeks. Beginning below
Port Austin, Iluron County,
Grindstone City, a place of 300 inhabitants,
is half destroyed ; then
i follow New River, three buildings
burned ; Huron City, 500 inhabi
tants, totally destroyed; Port
i Hope, GOO inhabitants, half gone ;
Forest Bay, 200 inhabitants, every
house gone; Sandbeach, 400 inhabitants,
all destroyed ; Centre
Harbor, 150 inhabitants, everything
gone ; Rock Falls, 300 in-1
habitants, balf of the town burnt;
Elm Creek, 150 inhabitants, totally
destroyed : White Rock, GOO inhabitants,
every house consumed;
Verona Mills, 300 inhabitants, eve
ry bouse in the place gone except
the minister's. Thus were the little
villages of this region scourged,
the destruction in the country was
proportionately great; the farming
townships of Sheridan, Bingham,
Paris, Verona,Sherman and Sandbeach
were traversed by the flames,
which lapped up everything in the
shape of houses, barns, fences,

A Bkki.in correspondent of the
New York Nation relates the tolj.
lowing : u On the entry of one of
the Mentz regiments (the eighty- j
seventh, which is recruited in Nassau,)
1 witnessed a little incident
which is worthy of being narrated
here. The regiment was on its
way to Schlostplaiz, when a stout,
resolute woman broke through the
ranks, put away the otlicer at the
head of the stpiad, and embraced
her husband, loudly crying : 1 lie
has belonged to you long enough,
now he is mine cuico more, and
you will not get hold of him again !'
When the other women standing
along the street, and eagerly watching
for their turn, noticed this un
ceremonious procedure there was
no longer any restraint ; they all
broke into the lines, and each ot
them seized her son, husband or
sw eel heart. The Captain could
not defend himself against this invasion,
good naturedly sutfered to
pass wiiat lie could not stop, and
led his men and wourcii to the
Schlossplatz, where amid the cheering
ot the people the women assisted
the soldiers in unstrapping
their Li i ill Clicks or held their mn..
die guns, while ill the other hand
each curried u bundle of modest
citizens' clothes, and afterwards
ull ate and drank merrily together."
Skcrktof Sucokss.?A merchant
who, from being a very poor boy,
had risen to wealth and renown,
was once asked by an intimate
friend to what ho attributed his
success ill life.
*' To prompt and steady obedience
to my pareuts," was the rc- ,
ply. " lit the midst of many bad
example* of youths of my own
age, 1 was always able to yield a |
ready submission to the will of my '
father and mother, and 1 firmly 1
believt that a blessing lias, in con 1
sequence, rested upon me and ull I
my eftbrls."

A Grand Pkojicct.?Profi w >r
Maury's work, entitled the 44 Ge- i
grapliy of the Seas," together
with its celebrated wind and cur- ,
rent charts, it will be recollected,
worked a revolution in navigation,
and his labors ha*e received a
world-wide recognition. Do now
contemplates a kindred work for (
the land, calculated to be not le?s
beneficial to agriculture than were
his wind and current charts to
commerce and navigation. But
in order to get the materials neces
sary to his scheme, l'rofessor
Maury conceives it necessary that
the General Government should
lend a helping hand. He wants
the establishment, by international
cu-upuru,iion, 01 a general am systematic
plan of meteorological observation
and crop reports, and
suggests, in furtherance ot this object,
a conference of leading meteorologists
ot all nations, commissioned
by their governments, like
that which was held at Brussels in
1853, tor the purpose of connect
ing with the plan now proposed
the system that was then devised
for the sea?ot arranging details
and providing a general system of
observations.
I low the Would Judges Christians.?There
are persons who
judge of Christians us a man would
judge of apples, who should enter
an orchard and go 6tooping along
upon the ground in search of them,
lie picks up one, a hard, green
thing, no bigger than a walnut.?
lie bites it , it is &our and bitter ;
it puckers up bis mouth and sets
his teeth on edge. " Hal" lie 6ays,
throwing the untimely fruit away,
"1 hear them speak of apples as
being so delicious?I'm sure I
don't think much of this one."
lie picks up another which looks
vellow. There's a hole in it. hut
lie don't know what that means,
so he bites into it and finds a
worm.
4iI>ah ! apples delicious, indeed,"
he cries in disgust ; and then picks
up a third which is crushed by his
touch, for it is rotten. So ho condemns
apples, because he has looked
for them upon the ground instead
of on the trees above his
head, where they hang ripe, juicy,
and luscious, a chief treasure of
autumn. Just eo men judge of
Christians, so long as they take tor
lair samples those that lie rotten
on the ground.?//. If^. Beec/icr.
GnmoN says : 44 Every person
has two educations ; one which he
receives from otheis, and one more
important which he gives himself."
Hard conditions draw out a man,
and you and I are better for such
an education. A man needs to be
hackled and spun just as much as
raw cotton does. And the best
gin tor him ir., first oxy gen (gin for
bodily health,) and secondly the
gin ut grinding circumstances, to
make a mental man of him.
He needs to be pulled through
; narrow places as much as the wire,
before be will be lit for bridging
i lie great gorges and chasms of
life, which swallow up the bloated
and capon-lincd.
It a man were offered ten times
as manv gold eagles as he could
P e>
cairy, he had better send them
twenty miles from home and swear
that ho will nei> dim ot ll>??n>
except that he walks hack and
forth for each one by one, before
he spends it. A dollar it never
worth a dollar to a man until he
has given a dollar's worth of work
for it by hand or brain.
?- What
to no wiie^t Anoky.?" I
get mad 60 quickly, and then I'm
sure to say something that I'm sorry
tor ever afterwards."
When angry, count three before
speaking," answered the boy's
father.
The next time the l>oy fell into
a tit of anger with one of his
school fellows, lie remembered the
advice of his father, and counted
three, liy this time he was able
to keep back hard words that were
ready to leap from his tongue, and
so saved himself the grief of
shame and repentance.
Try this remedy, ouick tempered
boys and girls, it is be6t, of j
course, not to get angry ; but if you
do happen to lose your selfcontrol,
then put u seal on your
li]>s, and remain silent until your |
hot blood has cooled a little, and
utter a while you will be able to
keep your temper from breaking
out ami doing both yourself and
others harm. i
