The proprietor of the New Hotel gave a Christmas dinner to a number of invited guests, which would have done credit to any house in the country. Mr. McCrorey Is obi icing. energetic, and efficient, and under his management the New Hotel Is sustaining its former high reputation as being one of the best kept hotels in the State. With a wellfurnlshed table, good rooms and polite and attentive servants the traveller may always expect a pleasant home at the New Hotel. Mr. J. S.

Wardlaw. of MtCormick, which was i standing near White's corner, doing some damage to the carriage. Mr. Wardlaw's family had Just gotten out of the vehicle. Kcv. S. A. Weber. This eminently chrlstaln gentleman nnd 1"lented preacher, who has had charge of the M.-thodist church at this plan? for the last year, has been assigned to tTnlon, aud will serve that people from this time forth.

In Honor of All the I>?nd. **' The "L? d?e of Sorrow." a branch of the colored Masonic fraternity, held a perfoamanco in the Cot<r>. House last night. Much preparation had been made, and we presume the remit was entirely satisfactory to all concerned, including actors and spectators. Fell on Bannns Peel. Mr. J R. Cunningham one of our most highly respected citizens stepped on a l?anara peel last Thursday morning, which threw him to the si lewalk, when lie was so severely hurt that lie has been confined to his bed ever since. Su|'p?r for the Homeless. The "Homeless" of the Abbeville Literary Club will entertain the club at the Xew Hotel next Friday night. Thomas P. Cothran will thii flveni' The store? and bar room s were nil closed on Christmas day, and our pttbilc square presented a dull appearance. Except for the fire j rtckers I lie roman candles, the skyreckete, and the crowd of colored boys, the square would have had the appearance of Sund.iv. We never before saw roman can lies arid skyrockets burnt In day light. Every night the square has been lighted up by flying balls of Are. The greatest fun seemed to be In shooting roman candles at the back of a retreating negro. Miss Axna Joses, of this village, has Just returned from Orcenville, where she has been taking instructions In music under the tuition of Prol. DeCamps. She has a talent for music instrumental and is quite an accomplished youna lady, whose literary education nas eminently qualified her as a leacher in our schools, and whos? skill in instrumental music, together with her ability to impress pupils, make a teacher of no ordinary merit. A majority of the conntrv presa have attspendvd publication this week to give printers and edliors an opportunity to enjoy the Christmas holidays. The times are so dull that the Press and Banner is much tempted to follow suit, but as we several years ago abandoned the plan of suspending 011 Christinas week, we expect henceforth to prlut every week in the year, until we give up the Job entirely. A large crowd of people, both white and colored, are expected to be at. the village next Monday, Sale Day. vCry many farmers and laborers have not arranged for another year, and we shall expect to hear much of agriculture on Monday. Mr. R. C. Wilsox, who has been in the Press and /fanner office for several years, will I turu his attention to agriculture next year In I the neighborhood of Warrenton. IT he makes j as a good a farmer as lie is a printer, he will be one of the most successful farmer of our: u lauvu. Mb. w. s.

Mr. Arthuu Sassaro, typographer In the Regular office. is on h visit lo his parents in Abbeville. Arthur is an excellent type setter, and his steady habits make him a pride to bis parents. Colonel and Mrs. O. T. Calhoun were in Anderson last week. Mrs. Calhoun going to see friends and relatives, while the Colonel went to argue a case before the Master of that county. It Is quite likely that the whlskoy men will-not complain of Senator Murray's bill falling to prohibit, 1' the people choose to close the bar rooms In Anderson. Colonel O. T. Calhoun has rented the handsome house of Mr. T. C. Seal, and will make that his homo next, year, while Mr. Seal will live in the New Hotel. Pr. J. Lowrie Wilson did not go to Nashville, Tennessee, last week, as he expected to do. His health was such that he thought It better for him to stay at heme. Mr. W.

The charades at Donalds last Friday night were quite a success. The performance will beTepeaied to-night (Wednesday) for the benefit of the school eouse. An unusual number of turkeys were sold in this market during a few days before Christmas, and many of our people had a good dinner on that day.

Cnpt. O. H. Mnttison Seiflonsly Sick With n Complication of Ailments. Cnpt G. M. Mattison, a prominent citizen of the neighborhood of Donaldsvllle, who lias ! hpon more or less Identified with every public enterprise in hlR neighborhoodnnd county for half a century, Is now at home in bed seriously affected by a complication of ailments. His heart does not act with Its accustomed regularity, bis lungs are threatened with concestlon,and bis lower limbs are without sensation, and, It is said, they are paralyzed. We learn that there Is no immediate danger, but fears are entertained that, he may not recover. Capt. Mattlson Is over seventy years of ae'e, 1 and has ever been a useful and popular citlzen. In whom the people have often expressed their confidence at the ballot hox. He was magistrate before the war, and during bis official career learned something of the law, and this knowledge together with his ptactiee of surveying, enabled him to prepare title deeds and mortciices. and in this way often served his neighbors efficiently and acceptably at a very small cost. His correct business habits and obliging disposition. In- 1 spired the confidence of a large circle of friends who have for years looked upbn him as a beloved patriarch. He lias been most useful to the whole people of Abbeville county in the capacity of County Commissioner. Several years ago he took hold of the county affairs when the county was deeply in debt. By a wise economy and by a judicious expenditure of the public money, he soon relieved the county of debt. He Is at present Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners for Abbeville county.

John A.Logan, United States Renntor from Illinois, and the unsuccessful candidate for Vice-President, on the Republican ticket,' in 1><S4, died yesterday. The death is sudden and surprising. It belongs to the region of the whutly unexpected, und perhaps, because it is difficult to manyof us to realize that they who were marked men In publicllfeln the Civil war are now well advanced In years. Gen. Logan was a peculiar compound. No personal dishonesty was ever Imputed to him. Nor was he mean, or Jealous. Vigorous in Intellect. desperately in earnest always, in temperament tiery nnd Impetuous, he scorned restraint and cave scant heed to usage. But he was Impartial in these respects. The canons of grammar were as cheerfully violated as were the rules of war or the etiquette of debate. Gen. Logan was nn uncompromising parti sail. but. he had u food heart. There was nothing malevolent in tils character. The country could far better have spared some reputed saint, or actual Iceberg, In our politics than hot-headed, ambitious, volcanic, but able, faithful and generous "Black Jack," of Illinois. lUcni, vorn imu tiour, Yes, times are hard.

Reviewing the Work of the Famous Corps of ltldcmen nt Ge?ty?ftnrfr I saw that this was a movement to flank us under cover of the wood, and the enemy was already in front of our extreme left I therefore determined to attack, violently too, in hopes of throwing the column into confusion and thus to gain time for a change of direction of the coi-ps on our left I rode back a! out 100 yards and gave the order: "Follow mc; advance firing; double quick, march!" No sooner was the order given than you responded, to a man. At the same time the enemy opened lira upon us. Never were car: ridge boxes and pistols emptied quicker or with mora effect. We not only doubled up the column but throw it into cchfusion. The enemy has confessed to have had several hundred killed or wounded by this attack, but the main point gained was tho time necessary to put tho Third and Fourth corps into position to receivc tho enemy from tho south instead of the west, which saved tho army from a violent attack on tho flank and perhai? the rear, tlie result of which would have been very disastrous. When this had been accomplished I retired what was left of the command, and I regret to say that about one-half wero still on the ileld, killed or wounded. Wo halted at tho rear of tho gallant Third corps, when I gavo Hflirt trnrn fit". <V\I* fllltv t/1 Sf?n tothf^front. Everyman stepped forward, sonio with bandages on their arms, others on their legs or heads, saturated wilih blood. Then began the old story of reorganization? making captains of sergeants and lieutenants of corporals. I heard one wounded man say to his comrade: "That hill" (referring to tho Little Round Top) "isonr place." I remarked: "Yes, my man, you are right, and you will bo taken there in a few moments." Soon after tho men were put in that position the enemy advanced hi such great numbers up the gorge from the south, as originally intended by hini, that it was difficult to keep supplied with ammunition. So I went around taking cartridges from the boxes of the dead men and giving them to those who were firing. I wait taking some cartridges from a man whom X saw fall, when he looked up, recognized me, arid said: "Colonel, give mo one mora shot." I pu; the cartridge in tho gun, cocked it, arid portly held him up while ho find. I was so impressed with the cool courage and determination of the man that I wish?l to savj bim for on officer, so I told his comrado t) take him to the rear. When he lifted tin wounded man up he turned to me end said ill an undertone, "This man cannot live." I tol l bim to make the trial, and he carried the wounded man off. In a few mome its I came al ong and gave this secoad man some cartr ridgos, and in the act of his taking them I rocoguized him:' He did not boa; t to mo cf Ilia hnv-inrr return rnl hut when I sujlcc to hilll of it he said, ' Yes, be is dead," took the cartridges and went on firing as delil-eratcly as though not only bis own life but the whole Union depended upon his special aim with the rifle. In a few minutes he, too, was mortally v.-ounded.?Gen. Berdou's Gettysburg Address. Screnndo of tho Spanish Lover. , But on tho whole the Spanish sludbnt and tho serenadcr was, at tlio period oi my visit, conspicuous by his absence. In Barcelona I hoard a groat deal of street music of a peculiar liind, but not elsewhere. During my wanderings nt night about Cordova I occasionally, but not often, saw the cloaked cavalier before the grated window of his fair one if it Was at the first storj*, or under it if tho forbidden chamber wore in the second. This scarcity of midnight trysts with a cruel wall between might have been an acciJrot of the season, for if wo aro to beliovo the poet, it is not in autumn that a young man's fancy lightly i.ums to thoughts of love. There is something depressing about tho first chill winds that sweep down f rom lofty mountain chains upon ralleys of the rose and plains of almost eternal summer, and tho Spanish lover, though of a somewhat fiery passion, is not above their influence. None of those that 1 saw paid tho slightest attention to the apniwir>liin<* fnntfall of tho strancrer. nor did tho wearer of the white drajwry, seen in a ghostly way in the inner recess of tlio window, endeavor to withdraw from foreign observation. In one insfance the loving intercourse was earned on under difficulties. The window was far above tho wall, but by mounting on a small box and reaching up his arm to its full height the cavalier was able to touch the end of the linger of his charmer, who reached her white arm down as l.'ar as possible. To tho ordinary observer this would seem a very fatiguing and unsatisfactory style of lbvomaking, but this midnight pair evidently did not tire of it, for having passed the spot before midnight and mode an extended tour, I returned by the same place and found tho lovers still fondly and painfully touching tho tips of each other's fingers.1?Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. Varying Value of Gold Dust. Tho value of gold dust was not known to thn earlier miners in California. Marshall oiul those who were with him at the sawmill race had never seen, gold hi its virgin state before the discovery. The first gold sold at Colona, it is said, only brought $8 an ounce, but it afterward rose to $10, at which figure it remained for some years. Sellers an# buyers did not for a long time recognize any difference in the value of different dust. '' What are you paying for dust to-day?" was the question often asked by the miners of the dust buyers. Thus, in those times no more difference was recognized in the quality of different gold dust than is tb-day recognized in the quality of different sand or sawdust.Buyers mixed their dust together when they sent it to the mint, and paid an average price for it all. This was a very good thing for the miner who had poor dust and very unfair to those who had dust of the best qualitj'. Afterward it was found that the dust as it was taken from the earth varied greatly iu value. Some of it, according to mint returns, was worth even as low a.-s $'J an ounce, and some was worth $20 and :nore. This is on account of the fact that a greater or less amount of baser metals, silver, copper, etc., is always found in alloy with gold in its natural state. Gold dust always differs as much in appearance as it does in quality. Some of it is yellow and bright, and some is dull in color?dark green and black. The bright yellow dust is not always the best iu quality, as might ordinarily be supposed. Some of " ? otoi* minwl h is lipon almost I,LIU J-IUI black in color. There is also no uniformity ih tho form of particles of gold dust. Some is fbio and flour-like, some is coarse and smoothly worn, and somo is rough and scraggly.?San Francisco Pest. Ho Was Entirely too Argumentative. "Say, Gregg, I've had my salary rai:>ed." "Stockton, how did you manage it?" "By argument. He was giving you $30 a week and myself but S'-'O. I convinced him : of tho injustice, and he's goi.tg to pay me $5 more. That was liberal, wasn't it? It equalizes things, you see." "Yes, Stockton, and that's precisely what I object to. I wish you had been less argumentative. He took $5 a week ofT my salary - --?* ? ?? l>Ut1n,1AlnKtrt in oruer 10 uuu ib tu juuis, ?* uuautii-u.u CMC .. , .
