Fatal Lamp Explosion. While Jack Adams, colored, of Cokesbury, aged about twelve years, was lighting a lamp last Saturday night, itexploded?the cause of the explosion being a small sized wick in a large size burner, the blazo passing down and igniting the gas in the lamp. The oil was scattered over his clothing, and he was so badly burned that he died in a few hours. Let the reader remember that it is the gas. ?nci not me on, wuicu expioues. Off to Columbia.

We had a call last Monday from Prof. J. D. Backenstose, President of the Brewer Normal school for colored children, located at Greenwood. This school and properly is under the control of the American Missionary Society, and is 1 chiefly a Normal school for the training of colored teachers. There are usually j about one hundred and twenty-five pu- -j pils in attendance, about one-half of | whom are being prepnred tor the business i of teaching.

Grand Juror, cxcuscd on ! account of sick Hess In family. J. II. Hampton, petit Juror, excused on ac-, count of sickness, The Judge** Chnr^e to the Grand Jury. His Ilomr charged the Grand Jury : Gentlcmrn of the Grand Jury: I am sorry to see that crime seems to be on the increase in this HUite. I have been struck with the number of cases in the Sessions Court. I have j |ust held the Court at Anderson, a large and Important county, and although the Solicitor labored with great diligence In the discharge jf his duties, only three days were lelt '.o the .1 vll business. Ithough th?-re were on the Equity docket about ninety-nine wises. It X'oura to me that r separate Court for the* trial :>f these criminal cases would perhaps save j money to the counties. I am wury to see that some of the newspa-1 pers have misrepresented what I have said1 ;l*e where on the sutiject of eilucation. It Is aj mistake to suppose that I have any objection ' :o the amounts appropriated by the I,cgisla. i lire for education, either In the common ichO'ils or the University. Hut I think it is; iinUtake to attempt to give more than the lid I men ts of education In the common , ichools. The efforts to teach calisthenics and he higher branches In the common schools ' s a mistake. NoKtate can atTord to do more! han teach the rudimeutsof education In her j wminen schools, to teach the people to read,! uid write,and cipher, that they may read the ' :urrent news, the Word ot God, and transact lieli ordinary business. If there be a genius J imong those who attend these schools be will i 'Ise above his difficulties and find means to ittaln that higher education which the University atlbrds him the opportunity to reach. | s'obody ever heard of an educated peasantry, j ,( you give a laborer too much education vou ipoll (in for a laborer. Mo that I am strongy in favor of every dollar that Is appropriated to schools being used in the way Indicated -lor the common schools, and also for kecpng open the University. i UC-'lir IV/ nuj HVIC, or. ? ?-v. , >u this circuit, that I am worry to sec you have i ?o stenographer. The Legislature seems to lave an erroneous Idea that that otllce will ten tux on the people. It costs now about 12Sa day to run the Court a stenographer vuuld save about two days time at each term >f the Court, thereby saving three to fouri ui ml red dollars to the county, which Is more han the fee* and salary of the stenographer rould amount to. Having a stenographer to ake down every word of the Judge und the vltnesses. enables cases lo be heard on appeal ust exactly ns they were heard on circuit. It irevents too disputes and troubles in the setlement ol' cases. There Is no necessity to harije you at length on your duties. You lave served for the year, and are aware that on have general supervision of the county. >Inkea close and rigid examination of al' j iiibllcotHces, and see that no oppression or xtortion is practiced, nor any duty neg- i I'Cted. The hours of the Court will be from ten to our. My experience Is that a continuous! esslon enables us to do more work than by i reakiiig in on the day for an hour or two. hen too It gives Jurors and witnesses who ive within striking distance of town, an oportunity to go liouie at night and look after 1 heir affairs. lit llonor pay* a Tribute to the' Memory or Mr. Burt. | His Honor then rose unci reuil the tollowlng eautiful eulogy on Mr. Burt: Since I presided here last, (he Good God has ailed to his eternal rest, your trlend and my < rleiiO, Mr. Arm!.stead Burt. H" died us he . ished to die, without ? siruxisle or Living rouble lo Ills friends, on a lounge in his ofce, with Ills tO"tli-uiek in his huud and his rm gracefully lying over his heart. The otinc men of the village gently raised his uuch on their shouldeis. and bore liltn, with dIcuid st?>|> to his home. The next day e was buried in the church yard or the Kpisopal church, where he loved to worship. 1 think I can speak of him with perfect undor and, without resorting to the exaggeralon of cul<>glum. When I came to the Bar, (r. Burt noticed me with that kindness he > I ways extended lo his Juniors, and our picas- j ( nt intercourse and association continued I uiil it ripened into friendship. We met con-1; tatHly in the courts of Barnwell, Kduefleld. j id in the Appeal Court in Columbia.

Vt lie most distinguished lawyers, not only ot Ills Circuit, but of the State. Ho was a powr in the Circuit and Appellate Courts and ras always heard by Bencn ami Bar with lnf>rest and attention. I doubt if any Judge <>r iwyer ever listened to one of his carefully repared arguments, who did not f'-el. at Its I'^e. that, he had been Instructed and imroved. His deportment waHeininently coureousand kind, firm and resolute in the per rmanceot Ills duty, believer forgot that be . as a lawyer of the old school, ami what was tie to his noble profession. Ills learning was rofouml, his eloquence touching, his cool, alm. cultured bearing never disturbed, lellher the insolence of a witness, the asxuIts of the opposing counsel, or the adverse ulingot' tue Bench, ever Jo?tled bis equability, or d<-terred him from hts resolute purose. To the Junior members ot the Bar he ras a friend, a genial companion and a 1 i??ral Instructor. I venture to say. that no oung member of the Bar ever went to Mr. lurt for advice who did not come away tniressed and grateful fot the kindly manner ii which It was commiinlca t? d. And ttie roof ot his ability Is illustrated by the men ritti whom he contended. Wardlaw ami PerIn.

But why speak o" j lr. Burl to yon, who knew him so well and ave been eye-witnesses of his triumphant ueccss. He vhsh splendid lawyer, as he was model gentleman. A? >a Legislator, both In the State Leelsntureand the National Congress, Mr. Burl iialntained a high position, his Inlluenee ras always commanding, and It is counsel, in oromittee and on the Moor, always listened o with marked attention. I do not think it ra? the taste of Mr. Burt to be a politician, here was liothin-.' of the dema'-otue. or elecloneerer In his nature. He was too excln- . lve for that. Hut he lovtd the approbation >f his fellow citizens and when they called ilin to office, strove with all Ills tine powers to idvance their interests. He was not an oflleeeekcr, but wherever placed tried lodohls Inly nnd never fulled. A purer patriot, a nore faithful Representative, a more loyal illizen never'lived or died. As h friend, lie ras as true as -teei, hh brave as he was lion st, as honest as lie was faithful. Sleep in peace lirave heart, true friend, lovtl citizen! You have left an example which, f our.youne men of the profession will folow. will continue It to he, the bulwark of Ihertv, the defence of Justice und the con:rollifiK element of society'!
