Our Job Department is well supplied with material for Job I Work, and our assortment of new job I type is as good as can be found in any country offioc. The Proprietor is a practical printer and will give his personal Attention to this class of work. Our work compares favorably with the same class of work executed anywhere, and is always put at the lowest living rates. The New Schedule. We aro pleased that the new schedule Is giving general satisfaction to our people. We begin to feel that we aro much aoarer to our chief commoreial city than over before. Some rumors that the old schedule will be resumed at an early day has createdan unpleasant feeling of distrust as to the permanency of the present arrangements. We have no means of knowing certainly what will lie done, but wo have no fears of a retrogade movemeat now. We would as soon expect to ?e>e the old stage coach mail line adopted as to expect our railroad to go back to the echodnle which was run a quarter of a century ago. The fast schedule is a necessity ami our citizens arc becoming accustomed to the new hours, which suits many of as better than the old time of arrival. Noithor tUo railroad authorities or the business interests ol' i'h.irleston will permit of a discontinuance of tho present very satisfactory schedule. Tho citizens of the up-country enn now go to Columbia one day and return the next, arriving at tl.o capital at 3 p.m., au 1 remaining in tho city until after twelve o'clock the next day, giving ample time to see State otlicials, bauk otljcers, fa'., to transact any ordinary business. Jiy this arrangement a day's time and exponses are saved to every man who has i business at tho capital. In these"hard ; times this is quite a consideration. J Tho Negroes Going to Liberia. It socmsto us that the negroes are the i easiest people fooled in tho world. There ; . ?i... * 1 ims in?vur ihx'u a umv .utiv mv mu> u?<?i liicy hiivou't been followinga delusion of some kind. They aro now greatly ex eroised almnt tho glowing accounts of Liberia and the groat benefits they will receive by emigrating to that EI Dorado. Mow, wo care not two straws whether Uioy go or not, but wo dislike to see them robbed oi' their money to raise funds for wJint the projectors term "necessary money." We advise the darkey to lot Libeiian agitators severely alone. They uteau no good to them, ( i The War. ] l?uring the |?ist week the Russians, i numbering about tifty thousand, have ^ been badly whipped on tho South sido of J tho Balkan Mountains soon after thev < had effected tiioir victorious passage 1 across this dillioult harrier on tho march 1 to Constantinople. This is a serious de- i feat and will prolong tho war. Wo liavc ! but iittle sympathy for tho intolerant J iuoliammeuan iuvk, nnu wu Iiuvt" no regrots for Russia's dolbat. We should like to see England take possession of the Turkish capital, together with tlio naval military strongholds of this ancient city, nnd should he glad to see the Sultan tlriven into Asiatic Turkey, hut would regret hi see Russia take the Mohainmo<lan capital.

What One Sunday's Ruinous Worlt Will Cost the City of Pittsburg. The following ostimato of the cost of the Pittsburg riot by the New York nr....I.I n/u>niiiit ?Vi? damage done by loss of life and the crippling of a scoro or more of persons, nor the shattering of the social laws or order that may bear more fruit at any time: "Tho taxpayers of Pittsburg would have been less* likely to allow a handful of ruffians to convert their city into a pandemonium if they had realized tho couse<pieneo.i to themselves of that night's hideous work as fully as they now will be made to do. Kight millions of dollars is the lowest estimate of the loss caused by the tnob, aud many place it at $ 10,000,OOO. Already one pawnbroker, whose place of business was ransacked by the crowd, has sued to recover $?J,00U; a'leading lawyer notifies tho city that claims amounting to ?15(j,0(K) have been entrusted to him for collection, and so it goes. A l'ittsburg paper estimates rudely the liability of the county at ?113 per voter. The total -amount being funded at live per cent, Vith tho allowance for a sinking fund, the annual levy of Pittsburg will bo increased from $(!'KJ,0OU to $1,200,000. In other words, for the next twenty odd years every resident of Pittsburg who .pays taxes will have Ins burden doubled, bocansc, actively or passively, he aidod last Saturday's rioting. In" aeeordauce with the invariable) rule, this increase ol -the municipal burden will fall upon tlie "man of last rosori?tlio laborer. When <hb projHjrty holder has to >pay $1,1)00 more in taxes, he raises the rent of his Tenants each if ltX), and each of them taxes <*ach of his ten individual customers 81 :to reimburse himself. These things in><lictnte the probablo cost to the peoplo of PUtsbnrg of their practical course in pocourage. It will be expensive, but . if they learn tho lesson thoroughly, it will .prove-to be cheap in the end." Murder Will Out.

Editor Press unci Banner: Having had occasion lately to pan; through a considerable portion of ou; county it afforded nie much gratifieatioi to liud such encouraging crop prospects There is doubtless a much larger acieagi being cultivated in corn the present yea than in any yoarxsineo tho war and a a general thing it is looking finely.

Jn the vicinities <i Cedar .Springs and White Hull the .sea sons have nut been so favorable, and tli crops were beginning to show si^ns o failure but 1 think they have luwl rain within the last few days. I was especial ly delighted with the'good managenien and high culture as manifested by tli growing crops of Mr. John Wilkcrson, u White Hall. lie is most pleasantly sit uaicd, has a good farm, and, what is bos of all, his labor, to a largo extent, is o that class which is entirely reliable?be ing composed of himself and three sons l^w.i? sorry that circumstances won such :is prevented mv spending a night as 1 had fully intended doing, with nn old friend Captain Willis Smith. I hop"! that ere this he has had line rains and tha the eveht to which ho was looking will no little anxiety has come and gone am in consequence thereof he is feeling a: proud as if it had been the lirst of tin kind in his experience. While in the White Hall section, spent a night with General Bradley thai whom a more practical, intelligent, am worthy citizen can nowhere be found ii our County. 1 will here express at opinion which'I have long entertained which is, that the Democratic party mad< a mistake in not sending him as one of it representatives to the Legislature. He i quite sanguine of the ultimate success o his net enterprise?the building of tin Greenwood and Augusta railroad?am from what ho t?'lls me I think there is ; lair prospect for the enterprise. Tin company has made formal application ti the (J over nor for a largo number of th penitentiary convicts, and as beiii] thus emploped wovld not only free th tiix-pavers ol tho State of a heavy bur then iii the matter of their support bu would contribute largely to the pcrma neat iutprovemeut of tho country, am great couvonicuco of a largo number o our citizens, I see no reason why the sip plication should not be granted. I will say, for your encouragement that your series of articles in oppositioi to the "uew county" has mot with genera approbation ou tho part of the citizens e tne White Ilali eouutry. I have met lately, \Tilh quite a number of tho lax payers of tho township of Ninety-Six Greenwood and White Hall, which ar embraced within the lines of the propos ed new county, and, lrom what 1 liav gathered, 1 aiu of the opinion that if 111 matter was left to a voto of these tow n ships that a large majority would b found to oppose the scheme. 1 am sorry to see so much serious oppo sition, on the part of uiany wiiite men o intelligence to tho new fence law. 1 liav serious doubts as to its be-ing adopted a the approaching elections in any of tin townships. Anderson county will n< loubt adopt it, and as 1 am salisliei w hen tried it will be found to give entin satisfaction I am encouraged in tin thought that it is only a matter of a lev l oars at most with us. I was strucl ivitil the wisdom of a remark made by ai >ld colored man when speaking on tin uihject. Ho said tho legislature aliouk lavo passed tho law without consulting ,he people?that a few would have fount ;iuIt with it fur a while, but, as they liav< lone in the ease of tho election of\Judg< Willard. they would soon become rocon ::i!ed to it. In which opiuion 1 l'ully con ur. Yours in haste, R. E, II. Tho Fencc Law, Editor Press (ind Banner : I notice iu your last issue a com muni ation from Little Kiver in oppoxitiou U ho proposed fence law, which seems tc no to bo entirely on 0110 side ol' the fence [ do not know certainly who Little Kivoi s but judging from the tone of his articlt L take him to be a neighbor. If Ian ;orreet I dou't think he has many bi> jaks or small ones either, and as for his jid lield pines, he hud better keep them i ivhile longer as many of them will tak< ,wo to make one rail cut, lie says lien m Little Kivor the cattle enter upon tin ivinter campaign in tolerable conditioi mil with what little feed we can giv< hem they get fat by spring.

AVliy, sir, all the fat of: ;rown ox in the spring would not inak< Imlf clown respectable eyes of grease in : pot of soup, lie says that Saluda in hi; trticlc that if the change is effected tlx iountry would soon be covered with cam md nutrieious grasses and asks wlmi .jood would they do with lite stock fcncec up the whole year, and suppose that tot men could herd ten head of cattle, watci thom at noon and drive them up at night md asks, will it pay? According to hi: views, 1 admit that it would not; bu "Little Itivor" seems to think entirely o [?rescnt profit, ignoring the future ad vantage which would certainly accrue ti the country under the proposed change Wo could improve our lands more in tw< years under the change than in five undo the present system. Every iutelligen farmer knows that land is materially in jurcd by stock running on them in al kinds of weather. I have seen my botton lands in the spring so trodden by stoel during the winter that it was almost im nowilili' tr> ci't. t.hiun in ponrlition for tin I ? ? n ? ?crop?not u square foot but 0110 or mor hoof prints, deep in the soil.

Again, ho says i you want to see stock decrease "nios beautifully make the change; that man; farmers would kill half, and those wli' could not provide pasture for all Well, be it so, better have half thai the present number of scrub* I have three cows giving milk at presen all young and I will give them all for on that will give four gallons of milk pe day. Let us examine the other side an* soeif stock are and will decrease faster b; the present system than the one propos ed. A and H are neighbors, A has a tei aero held in corn with a poor fence, J has a cow which tresspasses 011 said Held Now it would cost A perhaps fifty dollar to build a good fence around his Held So it is cheaper for him to kill and pay 1 for his cow than to build his fence, an in this way stock will certainly decrease Again he says that as for neighbors join ing and making a pasture in com 1110 would do very well, but suppose neithc of them had the land to spare what then doos not this look very much like "Littl River" was on his own side of tho fene ami saying to his neighbor I need all 111, land for cotton and corn, so you inus furnish mo pasturago for my stock Now in conclusion, E would say that have no idea that the law will pass i: Calhoun township, at present, but it wil eventually have to be adopted. THE OTHER SIDE. Fruit.?When fruit does harm it is he cause it is eaten at improper times, ii improper quantities or before it is ripen ed and fit for the human stomach. J distinguished physician has said that i liis patients would mako a practice c eating a couplo of good oranges befor breakfast, from February to June hi practice would be gone. Tho principl evil is that we do not cat enough of fruit that we injure its finer qualities with hu gar; that wo drown them in cream. W need the medicinal action of tho pur fruit acids in our system, and their cool ing, corrective influence. A Cure for Small Pox.?"I ati willing to risk my reputation as a publi man," wrote Edward Hino to the Liver pool Mercury, "if tho worst case of smal pox cannot bo cured in three days, sim ply rty iuo use ui vruiuu ui utrinr. \j 11 ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in pint of water, drank at intervals who cold, is a certain, never failing remedy It has cured thousands, never leaves, mark, never causes blindness and avoid tedious lingering." Bishop Gilmour, (Konian Catholic,) a Cleveland, has issued a pastoral prohibi ting public appeals exoeptt for publi charities; also round dancing and nigh lancing for public charities orchurcl purposes, the selling of wine or beer imd moonlight excursions or picnics con [inucd after nightfall.

That may be considered rough } 1 medicine, and yet it might be as true as n *1 the book of Absalom, as Dow ir, used H p j to say. I wish it had told you at tne same J1 r | time'that if you did not turn out on the y * ] 1 lth of August ami vote against that mon- n 0 sirons proposition which is intended to t j require eve ry poor man to fence up his ? 1 cow all the year, that you might go to J the devil for want of milk next summer j ' or some other time.

KOTUN\SOJs\ j Thr Koskttc Paiity,?The rosette parly and moonlight social, given under " tho auspices of tlie ladies of the Baptist 2 church, on last Wednesday night, was \ decidedly one of the linost*treats of the k season, *Tho beautiful grovo in front of ' tho private dwellings, on the northeast t j side of the Square, was the spot selected ; for the occasion. At dusk the grove was ? lighted up by a largo number of Chinese t lanterns, and this, combined with the re- : 3 fuhrcut lieht of a full moon, illuminated tluTscouo'with almost daylight brilliancy. 1 The grove was well provided with seats and other accommodations necessary to n the pleasure of tho crowd. The chiof centre of attraction, however, was the post office, where Ibrtuno dealt out to the H gentlcmcu their partners for the evening, t 15y an admirable plan the rosettes were J placed in a sealed envelope, as well as a J ticket entitling tho holder to supper for } himself and companion. The awards of j ' the fates were of course very incon- ( ) gruous in many instances, but all happi- t 1 ly contributed to tho amusement of the jj : evening. Tho supper room was amply ? r stocked. l!y appreciated courtesy tho * ' neighboring residents threw open "their !j ' parlors, and thus contributed to tho en- r , joyments of tho occasion. The affair 1 will long remain as a'charmiug episode I ' in our community, and the ladies certain- J ' ly deserve thanks for their successful ef- t j forts to render charitable entertaiimients t ' popular as well as agreeable,?j\'uteti/-fti.z t j Guardian. J t i jjciorc ifiurrmce. Ijovora' quarrels arise from different u * causes; sometimes from inero intensity f ' of allbctioii making undue exactions, and s at others from causes which, properly 1 understood and appreciated, would warn J ' tlio parties of the impossibility of tiieir J 1 ever living happily together. , * For instance, a young man who is on- I ^ gaged linds his alliauced very jealous. ' I* Whenever they meet other ladies in soci- h . ety, sho treats him with great coolness. ^ 1 This chills his ardor, and makes him dis1 contented, so much so, that he is in doubt j 1 about marrying her at ail. lie has in . ' fact, come to the conclusion that if he be- I i liovod she would treat him after marriage f J. in the same way she does now, he would 1 uever marry her. I As a general proposition, it may bo laid 1 down that persons will not change essen' tiallv after marriage. A bolioi that they ' would, has been tiiu cause of countless I 1 unhappy marriages. They will be just about the same after as before, and, if 7 anything, a little more likely to give way to strong, natural proclivities, or pecul. iarities of temper. v If Vim wmflil nnf m.irrv ft voiilirr wo- ^ man, provided you behove she would continue to boas she now is, without any _ vory marked chango in hor disposition, ~ then yon do a very perilous thing to marry her at all. , The same rulo, on the other hand, ap' plies to the young men. Many and I many a girl has made a shipwreck of hor " happiness for life by marrying a young '* man in the confidence that after marry' ing she would wield such an inlluonee j over him as to reform his wild habits. c She linds her inlluonee diminished rather than increased after they aro married, j and disappointments, disagreements and misery necessarily follow. Marry no oneAvith whom, without any chango of j character, you aro not satisfied. U ??>? ^ Remedy for Trouble. ' Work is j-our true remedy. If mis| fortune hits you iiard, you hit something ' else hard ; pitch into something with a ' will. There's nothing like good, solid, ' absorbing, exhausting work to cure , trouble. If you have met with losses, ^ you don't want to lie awake and think ' about thein. You want sleep?calm, ? sound sleep?and to eat your dinner with j an appetite. But you can't unless vou work.

There are some groat troubles that only time can heal, and perhaps somo that '- never can ho healed at all; but all can bo n helped by the great panacea, work. Try i- it, you who are atllicted. It is not a patV ent medicine. It has proved its ellioacy if since lirst Adam and Evo left behind if them, with weeping, their beautiful e Eden. It is an efficient remedy. All s good physicians in regular standing e prescribo it in cases of mental and moral ; disease. It operates as kindly, as well, - leaving no disagreeable sequelae, and wo e assure you that we have taken a largo o quantity of it with most bonolicial results. - It will cure more complaints than any i nostrum in the materia mediea, and t I eonies nearer to beinir a "cure-all" than < 11 any drug or compound of drugs in the e market And it will not sicken you if j you do not take it sugar-coatod. e A sow belonging to Mr. John Eison, a | bitten by a mad dog on the 29th of May, a was attacked with rabies on the 29th of July?just two mouths?and died the a following day.

There is no nation moro fluent in conversation than tlio American. Tho French are moro valubio, perhaps, their , anguage permitting greater rapidity of mmuciation tlian tno English.

In almost all homo 1 sircles there is much talking done during he day, but wo "tear there aro lew who do lot reserve their most brilliant convorsa.ional powers for other assemblages than ho home group. Many a father comes lome tired; ho lias worked hard and alkod a great deal, told amusing anoclotos, and displayed much wit. JIo has :oitio home t\? rest. He takes out his paler, and is soon oblivious to everything tround him.

Such a home, whether the abode if wealth or otherwise, cannot be a ] loalthy and happy one. As a parallel, lraw around the evening lamp of anothyi* jomo circle.

' An exciting tompor is one against ivhich to guard both one's own heart and :ho nature of those who are under our " :ontrol and influonco. To give and to alow, to suffer and to bear, are graces 1 nolo to tho purpose of a noble life than old, oxacting selfishness, which must lavo let all who will go tvithout, which . will not yield let who will break.
