I A Memorial Tablet.
I Greeting the eyes of those who attended divine
service in the Methodist church of this
town on last Sunday, was the handsome
memorial tablet to the memory of the Rev.
James Moore and his wife Ann Moore. Upon
the tablet are these words: "In loving metn|
ory of James and Ann Moore the first. m<m'
bers of tb.ls church." About the year 1S20,
(under the preaching of the Rev. James
Travis, James Moore and his wife Ann Moore
were converted and joined the Methodist
{ church, and of them it may bo said, that un\
der the leadership of Mr. Travis, they were
v the founders of Methodism in Abbeville vil/
lage.
( How flttine a thing it is, therefore, that
I some uil'iiiuriui, mi-ii n un n uuu
usefulness should exist: ami how praisei
"worthy, that those who have entered Into
their labors, should thus acknowledge
! their Indebtedness to these servants of God.
, through whose labor tho first Methodist
, church was built, and whose exemplary life
and unceasing toll contributed so largely to
the success and power of early Methodism.
\ 1 he Canuou Ball Train oil" the Track
\ Again.
I Yesterday atnoon, as the Cannon Ball Train
l reached a point about a miie-and-a-half from
f the village, the passengers noticed that the
I coach had come to a dead halt, when Captain
Williams, the conductor, thought it worth
I while to go out and see why the train had
I stopped without his orders. He discovered
} that two freight cars and the baggage car
! were off the track, and the road considerably
torn up. The passengers walked to town, and
the postmaster employed Messrs. A. M. Iiill
A Sons to bring the mail to town.
The Press and Banner has no disposition to
complain about the frequent delays of the
cannon ball train, but we would suggest If it
is all the same to the authorities that they
arrange for the usual delays to be on another
day than Tuesdays.
/The finishing touch has been put on Judge
McGowan's house. To say the building is
elegant and unique in style, perfect in architecture
and with every convenience that heart
could wish, is but a faint description of it. It
f le of Queen Annie's style, finished off in highly
polished woods; much of the furniture
adorned with handsome mirrors has been
built in the recesses of the house. Next week
the Judge and family will moveintothls comfortable
home, where the string of tho latch
"will always hang on the outside of the door
) for his many friends.
' Mr. C. V. Nueffer and Miss Hannah
JHemphlll came near having a serious acci
|<lent on Wednesday night. On their way
from the church to Gen, Hemphill's, Mr.
) Ifeuffer got somewhat excited and drove ofi
the bridge into a ditch, the only injury, was
smashing the buggy and perhaps his heart.

Paused Away.
James Pctigru Boyce is a native of Charleston,
South Carolina, lie was born on the 11th
of January, ls27. His father, Hon. Ker Boyce,
was a native of Newberry District, South
Carolina. In 1827 lie moved to Charleston,
where be wus Known, until his (leutb, as a
successful cotton factor and a wealthy banker.
Ho was twice elected to the Stato Senate.
The mother of the subject of this sketch was
a sister of Hon. Job Johnston, Chancellor oi
the Court of Equity of South Carolina. Both
the paternal and maternal grandparents oi
I James P. Boyce were of Scotch-Irish descent
He was named for James L. Petlgru, Esq., a
distinguished lawyer of Charleston, and a parI
tioular friend of his father's.
Mr. Ker Boyce greatly desired that his son
should study law, but the Lord determined
otherwise, and in the choice of a profession by
the son the father gladly acquiesced. He entered
Charleston College in the spring or 1843,
and in 1813 went to Brown University, lthode
Island, wliere he was graduated in 18-17. During
a vacation In 1846, bo visited his home,
where Dr. Fuller, then of Beaufort, South
Carolina, was preaching with great power.
Mr. Boyce was converted, and baptized by
Ur. Fuller. The next year he was licensed to
preach by the First Baptist Church of Charleston.
In 1818, circumstances having barred his
entrance into Madison University, New York,
he went to Princeton, New Jersey, and enter,
ed the Theological Seminary at that place,
where he continued an appreciative and laborious
student until 1851. Returning to
south Carolina, he was ordained for the Gospel
ministry iu December of that year, having
accepted the pastoral care of the Baptist
Church of Columbia, South Carolina. When
asked by the chairman of the presbytery, Dr.
William Curtis, sr., whether ho proposed to
devote his whole life to preaching, Mr. Boyce
replied: "Provided I dfln't become a professor
of theology." This reply made the distinguished
divine hesitate as to the propriety of
the ordination of the youthful aspirant lor
theological honors and tribulations, but it

?>ix months prior to May, 1849, and before his
studies at Princeton, he was the editor of the
Southern Baptist, published in Charleston.
South Carolina.
In 185-1 Mr. Boyce's father passed away,
leaving his son with Judge Belton O'Xoal. of
South Carolina, Arthur G. Hose, Esq., now of
England, and James A. Whitesides, of Tennessee,
the executors ol his large estate. This
trust might have seemed enough for his talents
nnfl energies, but they were not abated in
the least, from his ministerial labors, and his
incessant planning In reference' to a Theological
Seminary for the South.
In 185-1, at the Georgia Baptist Convention,
which met in Washington, Georgia, Mr.
Boyce participated with deep Interest in the
discussion with regard to the formation of a
theological school for the South. In 1875 he
resigned his charge of Columbia to accept, the
professorship of theology in Furman University.
Tliis position he held until lie was elected,
in February of 1858, professor of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, then located
in Greenville, South Carolina, and entered
upon the duties of his office In October, 1859.
In .July, 1H5C, when Professor in Furman University,
lie delivered an address entitled,
"Three Changes in Theological Education."
This foreshadowed the peculiar feature of the
course ol study in our Seminary. The address
received the highest commendation of Dr.
Francis Way land, of Brown University. The
following is taken from a published sketch of
Mr. Boyce, by a pen unknown to the present
writer:
"After serving as chaplain in the army for
six months, during a practical suspension of
the Seminary, Mr. Boyce was elected to the
South Carolina State Legislature in 18U2. and
IC-C 1WVH.UIU r-v. * Wife 1.1IU *"||U U1 lliu
war. It may be staled that, in lsiti, he was
appointed by the Confederate government
special commissioner to secure the adoption,
by the States, of a plan lor the relief of the Confederate
debt, which he had himself brought
forward in the South Carolina Legislature in
1S<?2. Since the war lie has eschewed politics
entirely, and has devoted himself to resuscitating
and establishing the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary. It may safely be
averred that to him the Southern Haptists arc
indebted for the foundation and preservation,
under the most adverse circumstances, of
their Theological Seminary. For it lie has labored
unremittingly and most self-sacrilicingly
for years repeatedly refusing tempting
oilers of great emolument, that, lie might secure
to the Baptists this school of the prophets;
and, gladly be it said, with almost ccrjtain
hopes of success.''
! He was elected President of the Southern
I Baptist Convention in IK72, and held that position
until issa, when he declined a re-elec|
tion. 1 n lss,s lie was again elected ^'resident
I of the Con volition, and had he lived would
doubtless have been re-elected unalmously
every year, so long as he could have been Induced
to accept the position.
Flis health railing, ho went to Europe with
1 lils wile and three daughters, for a two years'
trip. While sojourning in I'au, France, it
pleased God to promote him to a place of Ills
own glorious abode, on the 2Sth day of December,

Smith & Son,
The Queen's Cake.
COMPILED BY JESSIE DAY.
Oue of the mo9t wonderful things at
the Queen's Jubilee was the mammoth
cake made by Messrs. Gunter, in
Berkely Square, the same firm, it is
said, who supplied the cake at the coronation,
fifty years ago. The Jubilee
cake is 9 feet C inches in circumference,
10 feet high, and weighs, without
the decorations, over a quarter of a
ton. The design represents the crown
k,. 1:~r, 1... ?
?utiiucu uj uuiia, nuiiuunuai uy a
temple bearing figures of Fame and
Glory, with trumpets in their hands,
heralding the Jubilee to the four quarters
of the world. These again are
surmounted by temples crowned by a
winged figure of Peace bearing the
crown of Empire; the panels of the
base, embroidered in Gold on white
satin, aud each of which is worth
three guineas, bear the royal monogram,
and between them are figures in
relief representing the four qnarters of
the world. Medallions between the lions
are correct portraits in relief of her
Majesty and his Royal Highness the
Prince Consort at the time of the royal
marriage, 1840; of the Majesty in the
year 18(57 (taken for Canada); of her
Majesty at the present time as Queen
and Empress of India. The other medallions
bear the names of the principal
portions of the empire. The border
round the top of the actual cake,
which is particularly well executed,
represents a garland of a rose, shamrock,
and thistle:
The making of the entire cake has
kept two specialists busy for the last
four months.
A special stand has been built for
this giant cake, and, standing on a
splendid cloth of crimson plush, it is
certainly a monument and a triumph
of the confectioner's art. A slice of
cake, which is shown under a glass
cover, gives some idea of the size of
the actual cake, which is almost lost
under the decorations, which are executed
after the design of one of the
heads of the firm with truly artistic
taste.
Woman Coming- to Honor.
At the trial of a minister before an
ecclesiastical court in Broaklyn, one of
the parties resented the application of
the term "woman" to one of the witnesses
as in some sense disrespectful.
He was promptly met by citations
from the Bible, showing that it was
there used as a perfecly inoffensive
nrmxv "Rnh if wnc nnf HDnnuaonr in crr\
nearly as fur back as that for a defense of
the term. The truth is, that the word
"lady," except when distinctly used as
a term of classification?that is to distinguish
a particular woman?has now
become in the best circles, both in this
country and England, an appellation
with a little burlesque in it, owing to
its general adoption by women in
humble positions in life. The cooks,
laundresses, scrubbing women, especially
among the colored people, have
all adopted it as a generic term describing
a person of the female sex, without
reference to her manners or position.
In other words, they use it instead of
"woman," and consequently, to those
who remember its original signification,
it is a little ludicrous, because it
is used most invariably to connote refinement
of person and manners.
"Woman" has, therefore, come once
more into vogue as the ordinary de
signauon ot the women who used to
be called "ladies," without, however,
driving "lady" out of use as a term of
classification. In this the Englishspeaking
usage has simply been assimilated
to that of the French, who have
always kept "femme" as a perfectly respectful
term. In fact, great particularity
in speaking of every man and
woman of one's acquaintance as a
"gentleman" and a "lady," has now
become almost a mark of rusticity
and, in grave cases, of which is called
"caddishness."
He tahat labors is tempted by one
devil; he that is idle, by a thousand.
Where there is no want of will,
there will be no want of opportunity.

The Dollar.
Our word dollar dates back to 1785,
when a resolution was passed by Congress
which provided that it should be
the unit of the money of the United
States. Another resolution was passed
in 17S5, August 5, providing that it
should weigh 375.(54 grains of pure sib
ver. The mint was established in
175)2, and was then required to coin silver
dollars containing 371.25 grains of
pure silver. This was due to the influence
of Alexander Hamilton. No
dollars were coined until 1794, and
then irregular. They are worth now
$100 each. In 1794 the coinage of regular
dollars began. Our coin was an
adaptation of the Spanish milled dollar,
a coin very popular wherever the
Spaniards traveled. The coin was
called "piastre," meaning a flat piece
of metal; it is synonymous with piaster.
It is supposed that the Spaniards
took the German "thaler," and called
it by the name of "piastre." The
word dollar is the English for thaler,
the first of which was coined about
1486, and corresponds quite closely to
our present American silver dollars.
The word thaler means "coming from
a dale or valley," the first dollars having
been coined in a Bohemian valley
called Foachimsthal. It was under
Charles V, the Emperor of Germany,
King of Spain, and Lord of Spanish
America, that the German thaler became
the coin of the world.
Arctic and Anarctic Iccbergs.
It is not generally known that a
marked difference exists in the form of
the icebergs of the two hemispheres.
Those of the Arctic ocean are irregular
in 9hape, with lofty pinnacles, cloud
capped towers and glittering domes,
whereas the southern icebergs are flat
topped and solid looking. The former
reaches the shore by narrow fords, but
the formation of the latter is more regular.
The northern are neither so
large nor so numerous as those met
with in the Southern ocean.
In 1855 an immense berg was sighted
in 42 degs. south latitude, which
drifted about for several months and
was sighted by many ships. It was
300 feet high, sixty miles long and forty
miles wide, and was in shape like a
horseshoe. Its two sides inclosed a
sheltered bay measuring forty miles
across. A large emigrant ship ran into
this bay and was lost with all on
board. Onlv about one-ninth of an
iceberg is visible above water. There
are several well authenticated accounts
of icebergs 1,000 feet high having beeu
sighted in the southern ocean. This
would make their total height 9,000
feet, or nearly two miles.

Two Hogs on a Train.
The other evening, on one of the suburban
trains going out of Boston,
there was a well known vocalist, who
appropriated to his sole use and comfort
two seats. While this luxuriant
wayfarer was enjoying so mucEwtfoom
there entered the car a man considerably
under the influenceof liquor. The
inebriate could find no available seat
save that which the first mentioned
passenger had appropriated, and going
up to tho latter the bibulous traveller
saidi "Move o-ver, please (hie!) I
want a s-seat." The other glanced up
with a look of inteuse scorn, but did
not deiirn further notice ilist then of his
interlocutor. The intoxicated individual
returned again to the charge with,
"Can't you move o-ver (hie!) and give
a fellow a seat?" "No, I can't and
won't; you are drunk," was the curt
response. "Well," stammered the
other. "I know I'm drunk, (hie!) but
I'll get over that. You're a hog, and]
will never get over it."
Brown (waxing wroth on accidentally
meeting Smith)?You [are a man
of your word, ain't you?
Smith?What's the matter now?
"You borrowed $10 of me the last
time I met you and promised to send
it to me in a letter."
"So I meant to do, but I heard that
letter postage was likely to be reduced
to one cent if Harrison was elected,
and I thought I would wait till then
before I sent it. You wouldn't deprive
a friend of a chance to save a
cent, would you?"

How She Understood It.?A
young man who was contemplating
matrimony, one day called upon the
lady of his choice, with a painful announcement
:
"Maria," he said, "I've just made a
startling discovery."
"What is it, Josiali?"
"I'm a somnambulist!"
"Oh, is that all? Religion makes no
difference to me. Why, my father
was a Catholic, and mother was a
Swedenborgian, but they got along
just splendid!"
Camphor gum is obtained by chopping
the wood and roots very line, and
boiling them until the camphor begins
to stick to the tool used for stirring the
mixture. The liquor is strained, and
the camphor crystallizes from it when
it is left standing. Crude camphor resembles
moist, unrefined sugar.

To character and success, two things

Don't Stay Late.
"Why did you stay so late, chlldren?"
asked an anxious mother, as her
boy and girl, the one sixteen, and the
other fourteen, came in after eleven
o'clock at night from a neighbor's
house. ;
"I couldn't see the clock from where
I sat," said Kate, "I didn't know how
late it was, and we were playing
games. Charley could see the clock
and lie knew, but I didn't."
"It wasn't my place to start," said
Charley, "it was yours. I was ready
to come awav anv minute vnn
the word."
"Well," said Kate resignedly, "I
shall have to sit up long enough to
finish my algebra examples, anyhow,
aud then get up early to learn my history."
It was after midnight when she 1
sought her bed, aud Charley was kept
up even later over hia Latin lesson.
At the neighbor's house the next
morning the question was asked, "Did
you enjoy your call last evening,
Alice?"
"Why, yes, mother, only they stayed
so late I was really sleepy the last of v ?
it, and I saw you yawning behind
your fan, cousin May!"
"Oh," said May, laughing, "I didn't
mind much, though they did keep me
up an hour or so later than I like, .yj?
They are bright young people, and
very good at all those familiar games. '$4
They suffered from the usual trouble ;/
of not knowing when to go, I've been
through it myself. It makes my
cheeks tingle now to remember how, m
when I was a school-girl, I went to ,
carry some flowers to our new minister's
wife, and stayed two long houra V
because I didn't know how to break \ 15
off the call. When she asked me to
come out to tea with them, I was en- :i
abled to say, 'ISo, thank you, mamma
will be expecting me, and so I got
away."
"Well, now," said Alice's brotlierof
twenty, "I sympathize with Kate and
Charley. We played Authors the last >
part of the evening, and that never
takes much less than an hour for one
game, as we play it. It was almost /J&l
ten when we fiuished the first game,
and then Alice said, 'Now, let's have ;;
another!" So what could thoy do?"
"I said it to be polite and hospitable,"
urged Alice. "If I had not, it
would have seemed like hinting that 'i
it was time for them to go, and, besides,
I wasn't sleepy then."
"You would have said it again at a
quarter of eleven, dear, with the same
kind motives, if I hadu't come to the
rescue," said May, smiling.
"Didyou? Oh! I remember now?
Was that why you said you were tired
of 'Authors,' and wished we would
play something else for a change? >
You set us to playing 'characters,' and
when it was Kate's turn to go out of
tbe room, she looked at the clock, and
exclaimed that she didn't know it was
so late, and they must go straight
home." ???
"It does really require tact sometimes
to get away gracefully," remarked
cou9in May. "I remember when my
sister and I began to receive social
calls, our most bashful callers were the
ones who stayed latest; sometimes, I
think, because they were not skilful in
taking leave. One of our friends, a
lovely girl, used to be much embarrassed
when her callers remained late,
for her father, a nervous, irritable
man, always gave her a sound scolding
afterwards, il her callers had not
gone by eleven o'clock. And once he
said this dreadful thing when a young
man, who was calling for the first t
time, stayed late?he came Into the
parlor at eleven, wound the clock,
turned off all the gas except one burner,
and said, bluntly, 'This is our hour
for closing the house!' Poor Nellie!
she never got over that, and we girls
were nil so sorry for her."
"But what would you do," asked
Harry, with, a rather conscious look,
"if you were making a call, and a girl
hid your hat when you were going to
take leave?" ? "That,"
said May, indignantly, "is
a downright rudeness. I would not
blame you if you did not enter the
house again for a year. A girl is illbred
sometimes from sheer heedlessness.
When she is a year older she
may know better. But you need not
be afraid, Harry, of losing the good
opinion of any of your friends, by
leaving at a reasonable hour. You
will at least not be thought a bore.
And if a caller enters after you do,
never out-stay him. That's a little
point of etiquette worth remembering.
"One thing more I'm going to tell
you, Harry, if you'll excuse your cousin
who has seen five years more in the
world than you have. Besides not
staying too late, don't begin your call
too early. The other evening when
you and Alice were going to see somo
friends alter tea, 1 neara you calling to
lier, 'Come, Alice, hurry up, or they'll
have gone out somewhere before we
get there?'
"Now, just think a minute. If they
wished to make a call themselves, or
to go to a lecture, or an evening meeting,
wouldn't it be rather unfortunate
for you to get there in time to hinder
them, change their plans, and deprive
theui of something which might possibly
be a greater pleasure than even
your call?"
"I see!" said Harrv. "and UDon mv
word, cousin May, I wonder I didn't
think of it myself! Tell me more
tilings!"
"You don't need them," said May,
brightly. "1 isn't often you give any
one a chance to find fault with you,
Harry. Come, let us go out and play
tennis. I want to learn your way of
serving a ball before I go home."
