tunity of pledging their money, Iheirl

The Chair, however, in assuming thcjw
honor, very generously declined making! -1S
many remarks, but, in his pointed man-j v
ner. set at rest a!! doubts of the whole1'
scheme.

In the last issue of the Abbeville Me-\

he ilosdvs. Hemphill have indulged in ,

"On us wh.cn dunces are satiiic
"We take it i'?r :i panegyric."
The editor <>f the newly Hedged week-.
, the Abbeville Medium, seems deter-j
nncu io loree n:s paperinto puuiiciiu-i
oo. AVe would advise him to wait tin-1
I its \Yiivr-fvrthers have grown a little |
>nger, before ho permits it to venture
:i such /lights. Praise is pleasant to
ie students of Xewherry College; hut!
hen tiicy receive such a flattering noce
from one who managed to perform!
10 remarkable feat of graduating with ;
F/>v honors at Rrskinc College, they I
ave indeed readied the "no plus ultra";
r (heir desire*. The editor lias certain-1
given birth to finite a pungent crit-J
>tn?"the mountain lias brought forth
mouse." We see plainly that he does
ot believe that any good thing.can |
mie out of any institution save the onel
i# which he graduated, and in mc nrsi
of lee which lie lias deigned to take of
udents of Xewberry College, has as-j
red-to that class of would-bc critics,
ho
Damn tvita faint praise, assent with
civil leer,
nd withoutsneering, teach the rest to
sneer."
Our aspirations do not soar as high
the editor's; wo leave him to
\Ihfhlni the ii'orld by moans of his
icrished Medium?wo will not try to
ib him of the honor almost within hiss
asp, but will rest satisfied if our deites
exercise a salutary cfleet within
more contracted circle. The wise
litor certainly possesses a wonderful
r-ulty for propounding I;r%ait;/problems.
i!l him "Our Sphinx." \\ o uo not
ink, however, that he will devour any |
dim this time. lie has given us a
lestion which admits of no debate;
a puissant pelf is an unanswerable arunent
in the affirmative.
The Chimera of being an editor ruinating
in that vacuum in his cranium
lore baiins ought to bo, lias doubtless '
slroyed its lifv*t intent." Could we 1
!y discover the intent of a brainless
ad, a new era would certainly dawn
