We arc Informed that Mmc of our cltir.on* arebelng annoyed by Judicial process Issued nut of tha United States Court, under clrcumiitunces which are exceedingly reprehensible. Wereral year* ago these citizens were engaged xllstllllng peuch brandy. Their stills were regularly reglstred, and the brandy retained ? tin til caused according to law. The ofllcer made out the tax, which wan paid unci receipts given, *nd it was thought thut the law had been fully compiled with. The distillers were Inclined to take great credit for the Integrity of their course. But they were no! Initiated Into the vnln trlckn nnd dark ways of Republican official* and were awakened from their condition of seir-complacency by no less a person than a Deputy United States Marshal, who served upon them, a summons to appear In Charleston to answer to a claim by the United States, in one Instance for the normou* sum of one dollar and eighty cents deficiency In tax paid. This deficiency was ascertained by charging thedlstlller with W per eont., of the utmost capacity of his still, uud he was found to have fallen short of the rot] u I red amount by two gallons, and without notification of the deficiency Judicial process Ik served upon the Innocent offender and expenses ton times more than the amount sued for, Is entailed upon the defendant. Thocourts of this great government Is tuis prostituted ns an engine or tyranny oy corrupt umcuun to squeeze from our honest citizens the profit* of tbelr toll, to All their own pocket* thelr wlth. Those official* appreciate the fact that their days arc numbered and the relen of honesty wllUoon he Initiated by the election of General Hancock, and so they nro improving: the xhort leane yot left for them. Happy Mac. Our friend Mr. M. B. McSwceney of the Jlamptnn Guardian Is the happiest editor In the state, as the following will testify. Delinquents read It, and consider the sorrows of the poor, whom you mny owe. The Guardian nay*: "Wo wish to express publicly our slncore thanks to the large number of our subscribers who have so prom ply responded to our cal 1 and have paid up and renewed their subscript Ions. AVe are also gratified and encouroeed by the flatterlne number of new subscribers, many of them from a distance, who have had their names entered upon our books, and will hereafter, we hope, be permanent patrons of the t-Anaof u-hot tro hni'A nf. ^uanii'im uc nttv iv>n<? ten said before, that we have more poorl, reliable subscribers and fewer bud ones than any othor publisher In the State, and we fed proud to make the statement. Our blnck Hut Is a very nhort one, and is growing smaller every week." John Robinson's Show. This mammoth circus exhibited here ve?terday. and drew one of the largest crowds that has be<*n In Abbeville for a great while, and we think they were all pleased, for the pealN of laughter that came forth from the well filled canvass, seemed to indicate the greatest merriment. Mr. Lowlow Is an expert In his calling, and by hi* funny grimaces, well put Jilts, and happy Joke*, produced the great ex t lun. and put his nudlence In good humored nnd happy frame of mind. The newest feature of the show, was the performing dogs, the best we ever saw, and Is well worth seeing. 1 Taken all together It is a good show, they endeavor to doall'hey advertise, and one can well spend an hour or two with pleasure and interest al their exhibitions. The Literary Club. The I,It era ry Club met at the residence of Judge McfJowan la*t Friday night Mr. NV. A. Templeton, presiding, and Mr. H. T. Wnr.linur Swroinrv Mr D It.

It held In Its mouth a "cord which supported a scroll ; this scroll 'contained the resolutions which the club had passed. Near the top of the scroll was the eoatof arms of Georgia and South Carolina hlended together which represented the friendship that existed between the two clubs The Palmetto bore the motto of Carolina, and the Constitution that of Georgia. We hau exhibited to us a specimen of the Jlerlong cotton raised by Mr. J. Brown Cowan. This cotton is of the flne?t quality, the fli>re much longer than the common kind and readily commands from a quarter to a half tent more than the cotton usually sold In our market.

They nre iianu lug upon the hook of uncertainty, waltini . to know whether tney are to he reappoints and what their salaries arc to I>o. With the Superintendent the aeonylsove as lie was re-elected by acclamation at tin last meeting of School Hoard. For twelvi months more, at legist, he knows liis ac a. complishcd head in nafe on his stalwart shoul ul ders. Hut the teachers are not assured tlia their services will be required further. Yea before last the reappointing huisness wai .r< left over till fall, apparently to give the ladlei uj a good long season of nervous irritability. It Is true that the teachers are general)} . reelected, which tends to make this annua J" form of reappointment still more of a farce hut since the form Is ulwaysgoncthrough.tin 1S" free-school Instructors, and the best of then can not. help a certain degree of uneasinesi ie aseach June draws near. The political Schoo id Board of the period increases the element o uncertainty. It would be against nature loi f. a teacher with prominent political friends no' to be given a place under apoliltical Schoo Hoard, even though a better tcnchcr had U tie shoved out to make place. Such Instancei " are not'unknown. 11 So good reason exists for thus harrowing up so largeand faithful a class of publlcscrie vants every year, just at the beginning oi jf the hottest season, when all the resource* of phlloxopny are needed to overcome the p. weather alone. Public-school tcacliers should ^ hold their places during good behavior. Thej should bo allowed to go on and builo their little homes, and establish themselves in life as other people do. 'i'hen only free from outside anxiety, they could put their besl efforts In the work, which Itself has peri plexltles enough. n As it is. except in a few highly favored Instances, the lifoof the American publlcscnool ie teacher Is not much bettor than that of n v Methodist preacher. There can be no element ' of happy permanency in it. In the rural districts the system of rotation In office Is carried to such an extreme that the same teacher '* can rarely "git the skule" for two successive terms. He Is like a tree torn un bvthe roots ? every year. ?. Another peculiarly harassing farce to the public-school teachers is the distressingly frequent examinations they are subject to. '* It has been well and wisely said there Is no reason why a teachvr should be overhauled and examined over again at stated periods, e anymore than a doctor or a lawyer who h.'is once obtained his diploma, or, Indeed; a inln. later who has been ordained. She lsconxtant" ly exercising her mind in th? branches In which sho gives instruction, and it is not llkee ly she will forget the three H's, The whole buslurst Is a solemn humbug. For a year be> lore she ts snnnnoned to pass the dread ordeal the teacher must spend the hours when she , ought to be resting, or at least hunting out IIv' lug information, in conning oversuch mighty mysteries as how to go by water from Jericho ' to C'onfedrit X Koads. and who Is the author of the popular saying, "Spare the rod and B spoil the child." It is hard to see Just how or where the Idea R of thus chucking the unfortunate schoolmistress under the harrow every two years could have originated. Probably It was the plan of 1 some severe reformer, who wished to "exploit Ills Ideal" as the French say. The highest certificate here Is the State certificate, having which, th? liarpy pedagogue need nevermore; be examined 111 Ohio. But very few ever get that. It require* a list-of accomplishments as long as ttie moral law, > and its standard is so lofty liiat popular report says a Professor of Chemistry In un Ohio 1 school of high standing failed to meet Its requirements, In his own particular branch. All this, however, would nmko !t none the less commendable If many more teachers aspired to get the State certlflcatc than do at ! nri>Ki?nr A nmltlntp fur nil nsslstjint 'k or com mon-school certificate who answers correctly s 70 per cent, of the questions Riven her, receives her credentials for two years. If she nets eighty per cent, then she receives ft certificate for five years, while nlnely per cent- stretches out the respite to ten years, llut she can not i t:et the ten years' certificate unless she has hail two years, experience as tcacher in grad. t'tl schools. Many of the older touchers have five years' j certificates. Coinj>arattvely few have thein * for ten years. An additional incentive to study would he put before the aspirant for > excellence if this, ten years term were lengthened out for life. Ninety per cent, in fourteen different studies is tin ordeal which will do for once In a lifetime. At any rate, by nil the laws of common sense, a speedy end oii-jlit to be put to that wretched reexamination nuisance which keeps teachers in a twitter from oneyeaa's end to unottier. + Interesting1 Letter. Dr. Honner last-week published in the^.ti \tociute Hc/urnied Presbyterian a most, interesr;| lug letter, from which we takn the following I extract, and regret that we have not space for j the whole of it. lie writes first of l.ansli:g' burg, as follows : in tins pli-annnt littlo city, whioh He* 'on the Iiml . ?nn nb<mt ten miles abnvo Albany, I li.ivc boon >pi n<l lug u few <la\s with foino rood friend*. Ascompar rd with Albany or Trov, it is a quiet city. It hag about seven thousand inhabitant?, and In celebrated mainly for ltd oil cloth anil brush factories anil its breweries. It is the home of tnanv people who work or do business, In Troy, three miles below. A horse j lailroad connects it with Troy and also with Cohoes and Wumrfnril, t*o thriving town* on the other able, ! tue west siile ol thu river. On this mail, which runs from the lower end of Troy to Wnterfonl, trnrei -lug the lull lentrth ot Trov ami Lnnsinghiirg, a distance or ft"ven miles, yon C4ii travel tho whole distance lor six c. nts. Tl.e ua.eiiiig here, in this whole country strikes a Southern mat) with wonder. Krom Albany to Troy, for instance, there is a Steamboat running every hour of the day ; on the east bank of the river isu UailrnaU wiili a train also every hour; on the west b >n* tlieie is along the river bank a hurst* rail 'I road and then a little further out tho Delaware & Hudson Canal Company rllns a railroad train every I hour, nnd then on the name track the New York Ceil| tral railroad runs another train very frequently. And 'I on these boats and all trains there is almost always a I crowd. And besides all these modes of conveyances : for tiade sud travel, there is running along the river bank u Cunal, which seems to be doing a heavy business, for the river is full of their boats, going u|i nud down, behind steam tugs. As I have passed along in the midst of this bustle, I have feit that it was no wonder thai tbi se people, when they come down South among us, and see our sparse population with (heir inore staid nnd quiet ways are all'euted more or less r ope, tnat we ore lurking In push. They ought not to , forgel that *bile tlioy are a manufacturing people we ^ are engaged in agrlcu'ture, sod while they iive In a ) odd climate where I hey must work hard to live, we . live in a warm climate where less labor is necessary to sustain human Hie even in comfort. Mill 1 conleas ! that I like the buzr. and whir of lln se manufacturing . countries, and 1 wish that the S?utb had more of them . and 1 feel sure that In the,coining yearn, and at a , period not far off, either, we will hare more of them. . They give the appearance of life aud health to a coun. try, at any rate. *Jn Lansingburp there am number of very hand[ some privute residences, among them Is one (hat atl traded iny *]>ecfal attention, and I c >uld not but feel . that South Carolina had Soma claim upon It. It was . erected by Mr. Benedict, who left here a lew years s a;o without means It Is said, and look up his abo'le In Columbia, 9. C., during the reign of the Radicals In our S.ate. lie was a member, it is said, of the l'ubI lishing Company, in those days when, to put it softly, _ money was plenty in Columbia, and the result was that when times chaiiTed in i?outli Carolina, and the j new administiatiun came in, Mr. B. cmiio'back to . Lanslnpburg und built this elegant mansion. The . printing business was very protltnble In Columbia in e those days, as were other kinds of buslni s*. Fortunes were made in a hurry. Hut unfortunately many of , thebe fortunes were lost almost as rapidly as they ! were won. ond Mr. B.'? constitutes no eacept'on to the . rule, lie built an elegant mansion and furnished it -I !.. W.. i_ > t.l_ .......... (j Clllililllii wiur a I.VII. to ill UM I vuiiotc B11U t works for hia living like other honest men. The Schools of Lnnsingburg constitute one of Its ,f chief attraction. It so happened that I was thrown In K company with sevoral of the teachers of these schools frequently, and I confess that I wns pleasantly impressed. They seem to lw devoted to Ihelrwork?are bright and intelligent, energetic, thorough going, ! d< termined that no boy or girl, man or g woman siiall lilt the Anger of complaint against them and say; "1 am an Ignoramus and you are the _ cause of it." Through these teachers I received an Inj vltatlon to visit the schools and was Introduced to the Principal, Mr. t'oinsock. and had the pleasure of learning something of the methods used by the Principal j and Ids subordinates. When I state that Mr. OouiSock has been in charge of these schools for lorty one years, It wlll'lie seen Mi oncc that he Is no ordinary man. From ,f him I learned tkat lie cotnmeuced here with thirty (1 I scholars, and taught for several yours in a very small t, room with a brick floor. Now he has over one thousand pupils, under his control as Priniclpal of the e Graded School of the town, with good substantial e brick buildings, furnishes ample room for all. The efg fort to establish public schools in the town forty year! t) ago was an up-hill business, hut the plan h s Ions since commended itself to the tax payers, and there la y little or no objection to the system. A new feaure has been recently adopted in these schools, called Tin(L Qulncy System. It was tried last year, with one teach' her and some assistants. Now for its special use 11 jf new building has been erected, and two principal! P with several assistants are In charge. The Qulncy 8ysIV tem seems to be tlie Kindergarten of Oermanv Americanized and Improved. It proprosea to make the [. schools u pl.-as.ini place for the child, to afford it entertainment while it Is taking the first steps in learning, y Ky this system the child it taugnt to write and read (I before is Is "taught its A. B. Cs. litdied It is nevei n taught the letteis of the alphabet. The child is expect f, ed 11 learn them, and does learn them, while learning to road. This latter accomplishment, learning to read n It Is affirmed, is acquired in lets time In this way that t- In any other. Miss Howes, who is at the hear J of the Quinsy department in these schools, secim ! to be master of the situation snd knows evidently .. what she Is about. Mis? Florence Morse, who was i tmpil of Miss Howte last year is now her chief u*sfs tant. or rather, presides in one of the Qiilncy schooli of the town. I had the pleasure of looking in upon Mrs. Kinney who prerides with grace and dignity as Principal It n one department of Mr. Comstork's sreools nud also o hearing u class under tuition of Miss Qiiaekeiibush x. The hours spent In visiting these schools were jde#s )r ant and will not soon beforgotteD. 'e Colonel Pride sets the Matter at rest. 117 A nderaon Journal. ul Col. Cad. J.

P There is one myth common to th Celtic race in many places, a mytl a which tells of a mighty city submerge p for the wickedness of its inhabitants In Ireland the waters of Lough Neagl are supposed to cover the vestiges o euch a city, and in Wales the Bay o Cardigan. But the myth has associ 1 ated itself, in most detail and consist ency, with the Bay of Douarnenez. A '* a matter of fact, traces of Roman road n leading (rom inland to the bay, trace ^ of Roman buildings on the He Tristan s and at many points of the shore nea the town of Douarnenez, point certain ly to an important station which ex iated at this point of Gaul, and oi e ground upon which the sea has a o least partially enoroached. These ro r mains, in the days when legends grew must have been far more conspicuou than now. The popular imaginatioi seems to have taken hold of them, arit of the reputation of a certain Gradlon Who, as far as real history shows, seem.' to nave naa a nisioncai existence a count over a small principally in th< Black Mountains in the sixth or sev = enth century. With these data, andwitl that national myth of a submergec city in their brains, they have fash loned a legend like this: "Gradloi the Great was King of all Cornwall and had his capital at Quimper. Whei he and his kingdom were converted ty Baint Corentin, he made over tho clt] of Quimper to tho government of tha Saint, and went to live and rule his do minions from another city by the sea This city was called Is, and was oni of the mightiest and goodliest in th< world; but men lived there too riot ously. It was built on low ground be fiido the sea, and the waters were kep out by a pair of great sluice-gates o which no man had tho key?a key o pure gold?but the king only. Nov King Gradlon had a daughter, th< Princess Dahut, and loved her dearly But Dahut cared neither for God no: man, and was first in all manner o riotousness; and the lovers that wen brought to her nightly she was won to murder before dawn, and send thei bodies to be flung into a pit far withii = the country. So God was angry agains - Dahut and ngainst that city. And on< day King Gradlon met Saint Corentii lor ?s others say his disoiple Sain Guennole) in the forest of Nevit; an< J the saint said to him, "Beware; to the wrath of God is about to make it self felt against thee and thine." Bu the king took no heed. And one nigh arter tne reast was over, tne ioui nen< f camo in the guise of a lover to Dahut and caressed her,and asked hor for tin golden key from about her father',1 0 neck. And Dahut -went to her fathe where he slept, and took the key fron atouthia neck, and gave it to her lover 1 And the foul fiend vanished away, an< took the key, and turned it; and th< . sluiee-gates were opened and the water; ' went over the city. And King Gradloi leapt upon his horse, and rode for life and Dahut begged with a great voici that he would take her behind him And he took hor behind him; but th< eea pursued them; and a voico cried "Let go the accursed one that ride* behind thee," and Dahut's arms wer< * loosened,and she fell,and was drowned y nud the waters were stayed; and th< (] place where she fell is called Poul t- TWiut to this day.?Cornhill. tkaonl^o children courage. fcourage is a vital element of chri3 tlan chivalry. Without it, indeed neither truth nor fidelity to promise can be hoped for. The coward is sur< J to lie when truth means punishment and sure to retreat from his engage mcnts when they involve peril. W< need valiant souls that haye learnec to endure and scorn pain, and to fac< danger fearlessly and promptly wher duty requires. Some parents evadt this vital part of training by glosses and deception. A mother who has taken her boy to the dentist's to get a 1 tooth out,wili often say,if he is shrink Ing, "Sit still, my boy, it won't hurl i, you. ''Now she knows it will hurt him: but thinks il' she can only get him b"j this di'vice to sit still and let the den> tist got hold of the tooth, then his dis* oovery of the pain will not hinder its extraction. This is a double mistake, It destroys her boy's confidence in her for he detects her in a lie. And though it get the boy this time,to sit still, it ie under the delusion that there is to Ix no pain, whereas ho should be taught to face the pain and to scorn it. This makes the difference between the cow ards and heroe3. A regiment of pol troons could march up to a battery as cheerfully as a regiment of heroes, i: they thought there was no enemy al the guns. The difference is that he roes know the clanger and yet face ii valiantly. _ ^ < K:OlA: Ol-' Sl'KNAMES.
