I of some eighteen years of ate. was arrested i charged with stealing fifteen dollars from t he ; money drawer of Messrs. A. M. Hill Sons' ] I bar-room. He was carried belore Trial Justice DeEruhl, for preliminary examination,! when that officer committed him to jail in \ (IftfiLlllt. nf hnil Tho nrnnf vv;i? en f. I to warrant the Trial Justice In his a?ten,; though Wilson denied his guilt. The money ( was found In his si.oc. unit an iron or brass, knacks was found in his pocket. Wilson had i bwn idle lor some time, and harl b en loafing 'j'bont town more or less for several weeks. I lie is a poor Irish boy, who came to this country some four or live years ago,and is in a f-transje land, where the law will likely be'enforced against him with more energy f>r stealing tlfteen dollars, than it would have been if he had gone to the store and slain the owner. The S. V. K. R. Tiie work of laying the iron on the Savannah Valley Railroad progresses. The construction party have arrived at the river, and ! are now putting up the temporary brldee 1 which will soon be finished, when the cars! will pass over the stream, and the tia-'k lay- j ing will be continued. The depot at Dr. (ii- 1 bnrt's is bcin^ built. At a ineetimr of the Directors last week, It was determined to build a depot at I)r. Link's.

Durst it Co., of GrcemVood, is \\ Lining fame and reputation in every section of the county by the sn'crtdid inducements which they ofler to customers, who no many miles to s'ce those mcrcnantsand tobuy their goods. They have recently bui't two of the most elegant brick stores to be found in the un-d nintry, an J lhey are now better prepared than ever to give good bargains. Our Greenwood correspondent, will, 110 doubt, keep our read ers informed as to tlie progress mese jiciiulmen are malum* in inducing all of Abbeville county to trade with them. Fair, liberal, courteous, reliable, they always serve to their customers to the best of every thing. We Are Sorry. Mr. I. L. Sibert of iHmalds, says that he Is poins? to Florida.

Many persons roil at a circus, but the last jne that was in Abbeville gaveour merchants t good trade. The business of.

The idea of building a railroad to counecl I the great city of Chicago with the little ham let of Aiken would be extremely funny were it not so supremely ridiculous. The Neiv York Observer speaks of ex-Gov eruor Moses of this state as a ''retired politician." Yo*. the Massachusetts State 1'rlsoi: is a pretty "retired" place we imagine. We were pleased to see Judge Wallace rule in the Ferguson case that reading newspa pers did not disqualify a man from sitting or a jury in a murder case. Time was when U have read a newspaper account of a mnrdei barred a man from the jury in that ease as etleetually as if lie wore near of kin to the ac cased; and as only the belter classes of peo pie read newspapers, the result was that ig norancc largely predominated in the Jury box. As a general thing newspapers simplj recount the fact of a killing, and this cannot or at least should not, form tbo basis of an ooinlon. Thursday evening of next week is the rpg nlar monthly meeting of the Foreign Miswfmintv a? those meetings under [ OIU'M" J President Galloway's administration promise lo be unusually interesting, there should be a la rye attendance. Professor Hood and Mr. It. S. Galloway went down to Aiken last week to whoop up the Carolina. Cumberland Gap and Chicago Hail road project; but we have no idea that their presence in that neck o' woods accounts for the defeat ot the bond proposition. Speaking of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railroad enterprise, it strikes us that when the people of one of the termini of a proposed rail road defeat a proposition to give it bonded aid, it is about tune to throw up the sponge. The first page of Iho Press and Banner of last week which fell in to our hands' was dated "December 31, 18>i." The printers who get up your' outside" must be anti-prohibitionists; but we have our doubts about their being very "pronounced friends of temperance." The little ones had a candy pulling at Mr. William Power's on Friday evening last and a dinner party at Mr. JJob Urowniee's on last .Saturday alti*rnoon. Mr. J. S. Robins, of Wilcox county, Alabama, former student of Evskine, was united in marriage last Wednesday evening to Miss C.J. Williams. What do you think it is that Professor Huxley calls a "corollillorial dicotelidlnous exogen V' Only a primrose. Colonel lugersojl has announced twelve lectures in the South this season. Well, as the | Christian religion has survived the attacks of the subtle Hume, the witty Voltaire, the profound Spinoza, the learned Uibbon and the eloquent D'HoIbaoh. we presume it will be aide to stand up under all the blows dealt it by tlie brilliant lifter.soil. Lieutenant Mattison of the Anderson Military Institute spent last Sabbath with his parents at Donaldsville. We notice tiiat, Mr. M. M. Cllnkscales is offering his personal property for sale with a view of going West. He will first, look aiouud the JVoncStar State and if not pleased there will try pome other section. Mr. clinkscales is a most excellent citizen, and his many friends regret that he will leave us. Success attend him wherever he may decide to I unite. . , The Ilev. Dr. May field, who has been supniyins the Dapti^t churches at this place and Donaldsville, has tendered his resignation to take etl'cct t tie 1st of January next. The Doctor has made many friends here, and has served his people with zeal and fidelity. These congregations are now endeavoring to secure a successor to Dr. Mayllcld, and it is hoped that they wiil be ahlo to get one who will locate in one or the other of the two towns, as a pastor is needed as much as a preacher. The people of our sister town D >n ildsvll'e have taken a longst^pin the right direction. After repeated cil?irts tor yet-rs to have good school on a cheap basis, the citizens in and around the town concluded that they must | put their hands into their pockets. This they have uone, and having secured a first-class teacher at a liberal salary, they now have a li'rst-cl-iss school. . The Rev.' VV. I,. Pressly preached a very excellent sermon last Sabbath morning based on IjuIco 18: 21, 25?' How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom ol Uod. Fo'r It Is easier for a camel tu go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to en tee into the Kingdom of God." The reverend gentleman s iiiukuUbI'i uiium, n'u particularly .sy on this occasion, anil his though ts were largely interspersed with apt and beautiful prose and poetical quotations. The sermon throughout was able, eloiittent and impressive. The remains of Mrs. Sarah Black, who died last week at her home near Greenville, were brought down to Donald's la<t Tuosday and interred in the eenn-tery at Sliiloh. iMrs. Black formerly resided near Anlreville, in this county, aud has many friends in that sec Lion. We see no good reason why the congregation of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church should t?e summoned by the ringing of the bell a full hour before services commence, as was the case last Sabbath. Most persons like to be punctual in attendance at church when the service opens, but they do not like, to have their patience as seveieiy tested as it was last Sabbath. l)r. Grier has not favored our people with a sermon since the communion services in the early part of June last, and all of them are getting impatient to hear linn again. A temperance paper says that the "contents of the beer kens emptied in Chicago last year would float the American navy." The people of Chicago must he exceedingly moderate beer-drinkers if what they swallow in ? year is only suflicient. to lloat the American navy. It is surprising to what a great extent slang expressions are used by young Indies. Even Here 111 Due West?"tiie Athens oi Mouth Carolina"?we are sorry to say the young ladles, or some of them at least. Indulge In the use of slang, and the writer lias heard from them such phrases as "you're giving me taffy," "don't give me away," &e. Such expressions as these coming from a man may be tolerated; but when uttered by a young lady from whose lips only pearls should fall, they [ shock tiie relin-d ear and oftentimes product afeeiingof disgust. Slang may beexpressive but it is inelegant, and therefore should not interlard a lady's conversation. A learned writer in one of tho scientific maiiiizinos declares that hanging is one ol I the most, humane methods of putting crim I inals out of the world that has yet been dls covered.

The writer has been subject to vertinc all his life, and knowing that his neck is safe lie has concluded to make a lfrst-class corpsi out of the first man lie linds ' advancing" ot: him; provided always, that said man be 11 Jew or a negro.

We understand tlmt something in humar shape recently entered tiie grounds of Liu Female College grounds and covered will scurrilous writing the monument erected t< I tiie memory of that good old man, the Rev I J. I. Bonner. No words that your cor res pondcntci'in command are sutlioiently strout I to express the feeling of utter loathing tha | every manly man must have for the desptca j ble wretch who would deface a monument 01 ' a tombstone erected by loving hands to coin j memorate the virtues or mark the last rest , ing place of a departed dear one.- The mean ! est sneak-thief who walks the earth is a saini I compared with the tliiny or thimjs who com 1 mitted this act. A precise person remarking upon Shaks i peare's line, "The good men do is olt Inter ret with their bones," carefully observes tha 1 this interment can generally take place with out disturbing the bones. ! The "hackene.ved phrase" that "prohibllioi ' does not. prohibit" is sustained by the statis I ties of the Internal Revenue Bureau, whicl show that notwithstanding the prohibitory I amendment to tiie Iowa Constitution wen J into cfleet nearly two years ago, there are to 'day half as many distilleries and brewerie and more than half as many saloons in tha | Slate as there were previous to the adoption < j the amendment. l)id prohibition prohifil ; there would not be a single establishment ii I Iowri to-day where liquoriseithor manufactured or sold, wholesale or retail. Missouri, under. a high-license law, inn ices a better showing| in respect to reducing the number of suloous tnan Iowa, does under a prohibition law. _ That prohibition hinders the sale of liquor we readily admit;, lhat it prevents the sale of it we most emphatically deny; And this denial is not based on what wo have heard out/ oil personal uuservauon; in your editorial columns of Itvst Week you ! propound this question: "Did any man cverj a see an iinti-prohibitionist. who was ritit ii| pronounced friend of temperance?" Although it would not be dillicult to discover a | - vein of "sarkasm," as Artemus Ward used tb ; . spell it, running through this query, yet we j will presume that it is asked in good faith and answer it In tlie same spirit. Yes; the writer lias seen many anti-prohibitionists who wore not "pronounced ' Irieuds of temperance or any other kind of friends. Now, - having given you a frarlk answer to your question, perm it us to ask you one. Is it neci essary that a man should he a prohibitionist to be a friend of temperance? 5 It may be news to some of your readers to be told that under favorable circumstances 5: the Atlantic steamers now make better time than many of our railroads. The Elruria re. cently averaged l?.l knots from land to land; A calculation shows that 19 1 knots are equal to 21,'Jill statu to miles, which is belter time t than that made by the trains from Omaha to . San Francisco, they averaging but 21.903 stat' lite miles an hour. i /vt ;i nauuain-scuoot noi, a uiu.i*huu mura from bore, the lesson embracing tlie miracle of tho loftves and fishes, the teacher asked one of the little boys of his class how he accounted for the fact that live loaves of bread were made to serve Ave thousand people. "Well," replied young hopeful, "I don't know; but I suppose the bread must have been the same kind that my sister Mary hakes, anu very few of the people could eat it." We notice that a man was convicted In an Ohio court not long since of "barratry," his neighbors having sought that way to get clear of him. Not many persons are aware that under the code of some States when a persons becomes too troublesome, by reason of Ills disposition to foment dissension and strife, he can be proceeded against by law and punished according to the degree cf his offence. But such is the fact, and the only regret is that the law is not general and frequently appealed to. There should be somo lawful way of those whose only object in life is to make others unhappy. We dislike very much to refer to mistakes made by printers, but one in a paragraph of ourlast week's correspondence so completely reversed our meaning that we must needs call attention to it. The last clause of the first sentence of the paragraph defining tne position of the Democratic party on Prohibition was written thus5 "Kor if there is one principle of the Democratic parly more distinctive than another It is opposition to sumptuary laws." The typos changed the word , "distinctive" into "destructive," thus enurej ly changing our meaning and making us sny what was tarlhest from our thoughts. We , were not. discussing the merits or the demeri its of Prohibition ; and even if we had been we would not have been foolish enough to , say that opposition to sumptuary laws was the most ''destructive" principle of the Democratic party in the face of the fact that the Democracy had just triumphed In a national election on a platform declaring that it was so opposed. The death of Mrs. Robert Burdette, wifo of the well-known humorist of that name, has , just come under our notice. The married life : of this couple, presenting as it did an exam- ; pie of clinging support on the part of the i wife and of loving devotion on the part of , the husband rarely it ever equalled, merits more than a passing notice. Just, after their engagement Mrs. Burdette had a very violent ; attack of fever, which left her not only a cripple for life but a hopeless invalid. Real- . izing that in this condition she would be only a burden to Mr. Burdette. she wrote to him and asked to be released from the engagement. But like the true man that he is he would not hear to it, told her that her help- , less condition made her more dear to him ; than ever, and insisting on their marriage, Hi a oot'ftnmnv wta i>or i'nrmivl fthn n great sullerer thereafter. In the summer Mr. " Burdctte would take her to some seaside resort, and ti?e tender manner in which he , cared for and watched over her, lifting her in ; and out of the little carriage which he hnd ' I procured for her and wheeling her around as | a mother would her Infant, won for him the ; admiration of all who looked upon tiiis rare picture of man's devotion to woman. Mrs. liurdette was a devout Christian, and when , the message of death came she was fully pre- , pared to go. Just before her death her little ' by, movod boy a sudden Impulse, rushed to ! her side anil threw his arms about her, She kissed him fondly and said, "God bless my baby." This was her last blossitig on earth. When the cud had nearly come she said in I broken accents, checked by her troubled ! ( ! breathiu?; "Lord, into thy hinds I commend I my spirit," and then with hef last fleeting], breath exclaiming, "Mother! Mother!!" her j pure spirit passed from earth to heaven, and ( the wasted body rested without pain for the j' first time in many years. Mrs. Burdette was! as near a perfect woman as it is possible fori poor, weak humanity to be, and the writer, | who Knew her well, desires to pay this feeble ; tribute to lier memory. i Due West, November 2,18'5. It seems to be an easy matter to "haug" a Jury in this country. "The wild bird hath her nosts-the fox his rave? Mankind their country?Israel but a ?ruvc." The defeat, or rather snowing under, of the reguiar Democratic ticket In .Spartanburg is what may be expected all over the South. No party cau long survive without active, or' gam zed opposition. The absence of this and the Introduction into politics of prohibition ?un oiVtgVowth'of New England fanaticism? will sooner or later work the overthrow of the Democratic party In the South. The rays of the sun streaming through the stained-giass windows of the Associate lie! formed Presbyterian church sometimes plays I fantastic tricks with the costumes of the ia-l Idies. At times they are made to appear as'i variegated as Joseph's coat and as gorgeous 1 ' ?>" ? tmll.ulau?n ti ml minn when Mia I light strikes them amidships, and rigs them out in the national colors?red, white and blue?they strongly resemble a garrison flag at half mast. In accordance with a reccommendatlon of the late Synod, last Sabbath was observed by the Associate Reformed Presbyterian cougre; gatiou as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer that the Lord would send additional laborers in'o the field. Mrs. Brown, who conducts "The Household" i department of the New York Observer, makes this suggestion ''If every one dtessed plainly but neatly for church services, persons in j moderate circumstances and the poor would i i be more likely to attend." Miss Josie Chiles, of Troy, Is visiting her sistc^, Mrs. J. B. Bonner. Miss Jenpie Grier and Miss Julia Kennedy leave on the 10th Inslaut on an extended visit to friend* in Florida. Then there will be i weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in a certain quarter. Which is the safest element to incorporate Into our population?the hard-working, fru; gal, peaceable Chinaman, or that other class j ol foreigner* who murder, burn and pillage the unoU'eiidlng Celestials? There never was , a more demagogical cry raised than that oi i "The Chinese must go," and the recent terrible scenes enacted in the West?which are a disgrace to our civilization?is but the lcgitli mate fruits of the attention paid to the caterwaulings of the Dennis-Kearney politicians , who raised that cry. Our good friend Bonner speaks in the last Presbyterian of a couple ''happily married." , Yes, they are all "happily" married. The un-> happiness comes in when the better half brimrsin tlie corn dodder raw on top and !! burned at the bottom, or the "boss" s.ays out f till twelve o'clock, at night at a meeting of . the "lodge." It may be interesting to those young ladies i who contemplate marrying tillers of the noil > to know that the Medical World?good an; thorilj*?calculates that each fanner wears out, on the average, two wives and a half. I We are glad to" know that the Synods of j South Carolina and Florida have sustained ; I)r. Wood row, for we cannot but think he has . been unjustly treated. It was made obllga> tory upon Dr. Wood row to teach Evolution, , the onsy restraint put upon him being that ; lie was not to teach anything at variance i with the doctrines of the Southern Piesbyl tcrian Church; and as the latter had never delivered itself 011 the subject, it was inipos sible for the Doctor to have taught anything 1 in opposition to its doctrines. No law. no : transgression. The church can express its ' views on evolution now, and demand that > Dr. Wood row's teaching shall conform to s; those views ; but lie cannot he deemed to have erred by doing that which was not adjudged : to bfc wrong until after the act was commit> ted. 1 We once heard a mother cive this excellent 1 advice to her daughter: When in the com' pany of gentlemen never utter a word which! j you would not utter were other ladies pros-1 > j ent. Heading the ot her (lay the dying testimony I i; of a number of devout Christians, we were! ; ! reminded of the last words spoken on earth ' i i by Dr. J. J. MeCants, of Columbia, who tilled | ) the position of State Treasurer during the| . war. He was stricken with paralysis at the! home of a medical friend near Glenn Springs, i 5 whither ho had gone for his health, ami died t in ti few moments after being carried into the house. Noticing the Doctor's lips move, his friend bent over him and heard him whisper - | with ills latest breath; "I am fording the ri v er on its bed." Having been an earnest., dc-; voted Christian, the ' river" lie spoke of was; 11 taken to mean the Jordan of death, and by I - i "fording it on its bed" that lie was crossing over safely and without fear. - With the editor of the IJoston Pilot, we i! would like to ask what is the meaning of t: Democratic victory If the offices, the patron-1 age and the books remain in Republican mi nus 1 In politics, as in all other affairs of life, we should always be willing to "render unto 1 Ciusur the tilings th.it are Ctosar's." Tliere/ lore,notwithstanding the evils the Radicals t wrought when in power in South Carolina, - and for which they cannot be too severely s condemned, we should give them credit for t having given to the people of the Stale a lio- j If I publican form of government. Previous totjthe war the people of South Carolina had! j | very little voice In public affairs, either St.ite | or national. The Governor of the Slate and the Presidential electors were chosen by the Legislature, and as the question ot who should fill the positions was never in.ide an issue in the election of Representatives, the people were virtually debarred from expressing their will. Indeed, time was when no man could say who the electoral vote of South Carolina would be cast for. Congressmen were elected by a popular vote, it is true: but is fair to presume that the people would nave been deprived of this privilege hud not the matt?r been iczulated by United States laws. The State was un oligarchy, pure and simple. But tills has all been changed. Now the fnnt'coc ltnvn o I t V% a oolontinn nf l Vlf?lr rulers; and wo have "a government of the people, for the people, and by the people," The Episcopal Congress, in session at. New Haveri recently, ltidultred in a long and acrimdnloUH debateon "Tlie Etiiics of the Tariff," and some of the reverend brethren indulged in criminations and recriminations which would scarcely be tolerated ill our national bear garden?the lower house of Congress. We venture the assertion that 110 convocation of prelates or other represontativc.s of . the much abused CatholicchurCh will ever be , found discussing the tariff or tiny other polilicnl question or endeavoring to fasten tlie charge of heresy upon one of their number lor teaching that man was only an improvement upon the horse. No man ever has ' or ever will hear politics discussed in a Catli- i olicassemblage. And just here, Mr.. Editor, i if you will grant riid spiice, I will say for the information' of those who are continually prodding at Catholics and tlie Catholic Church, and at the same time know nothing of the doctrines taught by the latlcr, that its articles of belief arc held in tlie main by the great Christian denominations of the whole world.

Amidst Its doctrines there Is not one which, if properly cultivated, is not calculated to heighten piety; amidst its laws there is not an injunction but what is framed to prevent disorder; amidst its points of discipline there is not a practice but what is adapted to strengthen the life of grace, and its ritual the sublimest harmonies of music, the beauties of nature and the tributes of genius are employed to proclaim, honor and adore the Chri.stlnn religion. To tiiis ancient church, more thaD anv other?I might say than to all other?influences is due the present civilization of the world.
