He is now in China or Jajtan or far Cathay, and lie will cross the Pacific ocean and land at San Francisco in July, during tnc <u?i; days, lie is a man of few words jiud if let alone lie would say as lie touched the American shore, "Every do>r lias his day. 1 have had mine. Let me alone. Let me rest. Ulysses has spoke." But his friends will not l?t liim alone. 11 is friends are that "kind-hearted" sort that Sheridan, not I'll i 1 Tecum sell, used to swear at, and they have a plan. They mean to form a grand (iraut procession at the the Golden Gate, the modern Oslia, they mpau to blow the trumpets, beat the drutn as they march along, rather, are whirled along the Union Pacific Railroad, the modern Via Appia, they lneao to conduct the triumphal procession in the triumphal cars right up to Washington, the modern Koine and they mean to carry Ulysses 8. (irant, the modern Caesar, into the Capitol. A magnificent programme. It beats Barnum. It 5s even expected that the great African lion*, Blaine, Garfield, and other wild beasts, will be let loose in the streets as the procession moves on, to show how tame they are. All this will happen if the >'f llio oortnln will fates are prupuiuu^,?. v..*, like, if Grant will permit it, if his friends can have their way. Much virtue in an "If." Wants to Put the Women to Worli. The Sumfcr True Southron thinks some provision should be made foi putting our women to work. We think there should w some provision made for putting our lazy men to work. As a rule, in this country tlu women do more work than the men, Many a poor woman does the cooking, wahsiugand house-work for a whole family while the husband lies about in the shade, doing nothing. The great trouble with our lazy, half-civilized men is, that they think their wives should be their slaves. We have no respect for the man who tines not help his wife in her arduous duties of housekeeping. We want to hear no more such reflections on oui women who do more than their whole duly, unflinchingly and uncomplainingly. Senator Hampton's Speech. The press of the State with almost one accord, are strong in their endorsement of Senator Hampton's last speech* in Congress. It was truly a national speech, and ?our only regret is, that it was not delivered earlier. Senator Hampton, contrary to the predictions of an envious few, has taken no inferior stand among the able and distinguished Senators at Washington. There is this about Hampton, he is always equal to any emergency, and he has never failed to perform the full measure of his duty in any capacity. South Carolina is as proud of Hampton iu the Senate as she was of him as her Governor. William Gillmorc Simins. A most interesting oeremony took place in Charleston last Wednesday? the unveiling of a monument of the South Carolinian novelist, poet, essayist, historian, William Gillmore Simms. The monument is in the form of a bust of Simms in bronze, said to be a faithful likeness ami ol excellent wortnanship. Hon. W. I). Porter delivered a speech on the occasion which was worthy of novelist and of the orator. Who is tli? next one of our illustrious dead whom our people delight to honor? Is it not Timrod?the Keats of South Carolina? Is it not true tliat for inm Somewhere wnitintr for 11k l>irt!i, The shaft Is in the stone? Appohitingjiwlitors and Treasurers, Our neijftbor of the Cluster Reporter is disposed to scold the Governor for his appointments of Auditor and Treasurer of Chester, although thai paper admits that the appointments were unexceptionable. The Governor in our opinion did right. He has rights as GoVernor which even the dear people should respect. It is an implied want of confidence in the Governor when they assume to take control of the appointments for which lie alone is responsible. Adger College. "\Ye have received an invitation to be present this week at the Commencement exercises of Ad?,er Collage. "Walhalla, and regret very much our inability to attend.

The Newt and Courier yesterday evening gives the sickening details* o( a homicide which took place in Sumter last Saturday. Jack Rogers shot and killed W. G. McCuthen who was unarmed, at a game of base ball. *They had a difficulty a year ago. Itoger* notified McCuthen that he would kill him or whip him last Saturday. He killed him. Wf have given much or our spact Ibis week to the proceedings of tin State Press Association which wc liope may be of sufficient interest tc repay a reading. The representative of tJie Press ana Banner endeavored to make his report as short as possible. The oflieial report covers all that lit did not touch upon. Hampton on the Presidency. General Wade Hampton recently visited New York, and while there fell an easy victim to the inevitable interviewer. With regard to the Democratic nominees for President and Vico-Presiuent he is quoted as follows. "Wo do not intend to ask a place upon ti*> Presidential ticket for a .Southern man. We want the party in the North to pdaee two good men on the ticket and we will support it for the national success of the l>emocriitic party. With reference to the particular choice of the South tor particular Presidential candidates, I do not think the South has made any. I believe iliat there has been a feeling that in justice to lint old ticket, it should be rcnom iiiated. There are many reasons, however, which may be urged against this, aud tbe refusal of Hendrlx to put in uomItmion again seems to render it impossible. I don't think tho South a copper who the .next Presidential candidate may be, as kaig as he is a strong national % mail. They do not care where he comes from ?r what his financial views may Ue." ?

Fpon going] n alH.ut four wiles beyond Toccoa Falls, the' train was stopped in full view of what Is call-1 ed the "natural fountains." Here two Jets or j streams of water rise perpendicularly, one to j the height of titty feet, thcother to about two-' is thirds of that helehth. The Jets are perhaps { til an inch in diameter. The streams of water j that arc thus sent up remain in shape and; body tor two.thirds the distance they rise, j when they separate more or less and form, 3? grr at drops of water which after completing! ill tie ir ascent come down on the face of tlie J rock, near Uie rising point.

We are informed ; that in the neighborhood there arc some six j or eight of these fountains. As they have ... been sending up tin'lr waters for only a few months the curious have been seeking to |j" know the cause of so mysterious an appear- ' . anee. We have heard it. accounted for in t he I" severing of the mountain. II. Is alleged that i Ij. I (lie mountain rock throuuh which (his water rises has cracked ami rumor asserts that a t.

If this l.e true . the natural Inference is that a portion of the B. mountain rests on a subterranean lake, and | that the water line]iits no more convenient | outlet than these fountains eomcsfromtheJn- ( !l" i nermost recesses of the earth in this mysterl-1, st j ons manner. We irivcthcsc speculations anil ( |y i rumors for whatthcy are worth, hut the fact V | that the water rises, as slated above, cannot , .* j he disputed.

To many of your readers who are familiar with this sccium of the ,v) State is known the existence of a well de- |,:l lined and unbroken ridge which divides the j j,j waters of the Savannah ICiver on the onejco side, and the waters of the Saluda on lliejW( other. This ridge, or back-bone, nccesstirily co higher than any postlon ot the .surrounding country, is coiiiicelcd without a break to one of the large spurs of the Jllue Hidge. Ad- ' vantage of tills was taken o.v the cliiel en-1 th gincer.
