We received a great portion of' ur learning hero, and the mind's eye everts with lovely interest to this lace, as one endeared to us by a housand tender associations.

Tho unrestrained liccnse of tho eolored spectators, or a portion of them, to hoot ind jeer at tho visiting club, reflects severely upon somebody. These | panics, being intended for mutual en- ( joy men t and social amusement, should , be conducted dcccntl}* and in order; | irul everything should ho rendered ( xs pleasant as possible for all parties. ; Surely tho Town Council, if applied , lo, would use its authority to preserve order. Spectators should not bo allowed to interfere in any way with the game. Of course well raised, sensible people will conduct themselves with propriety on all occasions, without advice or coercion from any source; but, unfortuuately, a large majority of tho present citizenship * 1 I i 1 T ? 1 tias ueen sualy negiecieu m uunj euucation. Tho language and conduct of tho large crowd of colored boys, on the occasion referred to, to say the least, was very unpleasant to some of the spectators, and must havo been annoying, if not offensive, lo the visiting clubs. If the Abbeville Club is unable to protect itself ar.d its visitors on its own premises, and the Town Council will do nothing to preserve good order, it is to be hoped that we havo seen the Inst match gamo of Baso ];all at Abbeville. Doubtless the Abbeville Club isn't guilty of any willful, intentional neglect of visitors. The circumstances and surroundings here arc peculiar. No other place in the County, or perhaps in tho upcountry, labors under so many diflifnliiVc in such o?isos The antinathv and antagonism of the two races are more marked and stronger here than most other places. Each party is, to some extent responsible for this state L)f things. As to which part}' is most Lo blame, opinions arc various and conflicting. ''0 mores! 0 temporal" VETO.

All amusements of j*outh to which virtuous women arc not Admitted, rely on it are deleterious in their nature. All men who avoid femalo societ}' have dull perceptions, and arc stupid,, or have gross tastes and revolt against what is pure. Your elub swaggerers, who aro sucking the buts of billiard-cues all night, call female society insipid. Poetry is uninspiring to a yokel; beaut}* has no charms for a blind man ; music does not please a poor beast who docs not know one tu0e from another; but as a true epicuro is hardly ever tired of water, sauce, and brown bread and butter, I T ei't IVvr?

Onn of the great benefits a man may derive from woman's soeicty is, th:it ho is bound to bo respectful to her. The habit is of great good to your moral men, depend up( n it. Our education makes us the most eminently selfish men in the world. We fight for ourselves; we push for ourselves, wo yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes and say we won't go mif \vn mpf'nr ourselves and our case: , and the greatest benefit that comes to a man from a woman's socicty is, that ho lias to 'think of somebody to whom ho is bound to be constantly attentive aud respectful. A Thrilling Adventure. ? A friend sends us an account of a thrilling equestrian adventure of a Morganton belle. The lady in question was out riding with a gentleman last week. They were riding rapidly down a long slope when the gentleman's horse stumbled and fell. The lady's horso cleared both him and rider at one leap and then became quite unmanageable. Two hundred yards further on a narrow lane was blockaded by a negro, mule and cart square across it. Her horso was careering at full speed. To pass around was impossible, to stop equally so. but the agile animal at ono lcarlui bound clcarcd negro, mule and cart. Our charming equestrienne never for a moment lost her balance, and was laughing gaily when her horso was checked two miles further on. Xobodv hurt, but rumor hath it that the horse carried the negro's hat off on his hind hoof and that the negro has since combed a horse shoe out of his wool.?Exchange. The New Postal Law. ? The P/.e/ o-nirp Gazette for Julv eummari zcs what the new post office bill accomplishes, us follows: 1. Prepayment of newspaper postage after January 1, 1S75. 2. Gives free delivery to all newspapers, to subscribers only, (daily, semi-weekly, weekly, monthly or quarterly,) within tho County in which they are printed and publiehsd from July 1, 1874. 3. Makes a uniformity in all matters other than newspapers, as third class, limited to four pounds at one cent for each t wo ounces. All papers now circulate free iu the Uounties wherein they are printed, and receive their exchanges free.

Rut eiich things arc past finding out. Mr. Jo well is a wealthy leather dealer and manufacturer, and has been on terms of the j most cordial intimacy for many years , with the President. IIo entered political life in 18G8, when ho ran as the Republican candidate for Governor of , Connecticut, and was defeated by J James E. ^English; was elected in 1869; defeated again by Mr; English in 1870, and re-elected in 1871 and 1872. In 1873 ho declined a renomination, and a littlo later was appointed Minister to Russia, the duties of which place ho has Dcen aiscuargmg not quite a year. The vacancy in the Mission to .Russia has not yet been filled. It is one of the finest oppoinlments in the gift of the administration, the chief draw back being the severity of the slimato. It was for a long timo held by the lion. F. W. Pickens of ~ " i i ? I Ihia State, and moro recenuy uy Judge Orr. The Moon as a Farmer.?A farmer tells us that ho docs not doubt that fully one-half of tho tillers of the soil in this country believe in the good and bad influences of tho moon in tho development of vegotation, and year after year they follow the directions that have como down to ' - n us from l'ar-off generations 01 men. The same remark will hold good for agricultural communities the world over. Products that fruit under ground, as potatoes, turnips, &c., arc duly planted in the dark of the moon, while those that fruit in tho light arc planted and sown in tho full of the moon. The same rule holds-, they say, in the setting of fence-posts ahd the laying of shingles; if set in tlje dark of the moon posts will last longer, and shingles will not curl up as they say they will do if they are laid in the light of the moon.

Wa&hinyton, (Towa,) Press, Tiie Tomato.?Dr. Bennett, & prcf fcssor of some cslcbrity, considers it as an invaluable article of diet, and ascribes lo it very important medical properties: 1. That the tomato is one of the most powerful aperients in the materia medica, and that in all those affections of the liver and organs where calomel is indispensable, it is probably the most effective and least harmful remedial agent known to the profession. 2. That a chemical extract pill can bo obtained from it which altogether supersedes the use of calomel in the cure of disease. 3. That ho has often successfully ti'eatcd diarrhoea with this article alone. 4. That when used as an article of diet, it is almost a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia and indigestion. 5. That the citizens in ordinary cVi/nii/i i.-,nlro nso of it either raw. cooked, or in the form of catsup, with their daily food, as it is a most healthy article. "A wonder of mcdieal science," may well bo applied to Dr. Wistar'a Balsaru of Wild Cherry. It is nearly half a century since this remarkable remedy was introduced to the public, and yet the immediate and enviable reputation Which it gaihed by its wonderful cures of coughs, colds, hooping cough, soro throat, influenza consumption, and all bronchial complaints, is to this day fully sustained.
