Her writings appear in the popu lar Journals of the day, and her style is original and brilliant. Site is also an artist of rare merit. The life size portrait of Gen. It. E. Lee that adorns the armory of the Governor's Guards in Columbia, was painted by our fair young artist, and presented to that military organization previous to her leaving the State two yeats ago. It isa canvas of Immense size and one would suppose that it was executed by a bold masculine hand, but Miss Orchard 1.4 petite and fairy-like, with an artless grace and bewitching beauty.

Yesterday a young man in the employ ol Con tractor Gibbons, was entrusted with $xo, with which to pay a bill in a dlstrantclty by the purchase of a money order. The yonny man Is now missing.

Richmond.May 29.?Never has higher homage been paid to man, living or dead, than was devoted to the memory of the peerless I.ee to-day. On all sides there has been a magnificent display of surpassing love and devotion, and Richmond is again the Confederate capital. One of the most striking spectacles was the display made by the South Carolina soldiers and veterans. Governor Richardson and Major J. C. Hemphill rode in a carriage near the head of the column and were followed by (ien. Htmliam mid the Governor's staff. Immediately In their rear were the companies from the Palmetto Slate, a number displaying Palmetto fans in their guns.

Miss Miidred Lee. with her brothers, Gen. R. E. Lee, Gen. W. H. F. Lee and their families, sat near the platform on the stand. While Col.

Crops lire looking line. The health of our community Is generally good. Hailey's old store in which more goods have h?*en sold than any other house in town, that I has for years stood so conspicuous on the square, fronting every way is being rolled I further out to give place to the two handsome brick stores of Ualicy, Harksdale & Co. Mr. Wells, the contractor, will move the old store without any Interruption of the trade of the firm. Thus another distinctive mark of Greenwood as it was is being obliterated. Air. B. Keynolds is out again after several days indisposition. There wilt probably be one-third of a crop of peaches in this section. Capt. Mcl'aslun's advice at Lowmlcsvllle, for ''christians to vote for christian men for office" is very significant. I)r. Maxwell has given Mr. Wilkerson the contract for remodeling his house. Mr. J. T. Simmons is selling quite a number of nice phaetons. It is very unpopular and somewhat inconvenient to walk to church now, but we go, if at all, with the minority. i? ic rnmorpii that there will bo two wed dings in liucklevel soon. He v. Mr. Mathews lias been recuperating in Wiliiamston lor several days. Tiie exercises at Brewers Institute have closed, and Mr. Jewett and family have returned to their home in MassechuseUs for the summer. Mr. ('. W. Crews Is having his house remodeled and enlarged. .Some of our young men occupy their time after 0 o'clock in the evening by searching the groves, orchards.and shrubbery,around town, lor little birds which they delight in killing with their rifles. We call this cruel sport. What say our council ? Greenwood has had an actual, living, working League of Law and urder since last January, yet its existence camo like a thunderbolt from a clear sky when last week a notice was served on our druggists, by the League of Law and Order to surrender to them their United States License, or be prose cuted for selling whiskey illicitly. Without any disparagement to the right of the League of Law and Order, our drugglsls concluded that their licenses were issued by the highest authority of t e land, they refused to comply. Consequently, proceedings were instl tuted against three of theiu 011 Mouday by the League of Law and Order, through Kev. U. II. Carter, and many of our best citizens, who had bought whiskey purely for medicinal purposes, were unwitingly suminoiidcd as witnesses. All of whom were mad. Some of whom refused to testify. In short the outlook was that Judge Blake's office would be a tolerably warm place, with defendants and witnesses all mad, aud a determined prosecution. Fortunately, it turned out to be only a ?.irv blow." the whole matter beliis; settled by the League of Law and Order, and the druggists, resolving tliemselven into a committee of the whole and ratifying (lie old law, rc quiring druggists to sell whiskey only on prescription. The opinion here is that the only thing accomplished was that in fulure, any parties wanting whisky for strictly medicinal use will be forced to get a prescription. As the character of the witnesses prove beyond question that those who buy whisky to drink are the safest customers. We voted one prohibition ticket about ten years ago, li was elected, and we expected to see the town ' dry" and so far us we are concerned endeavored to make it so. It was a failure thou and has been a failure ever since. We have had the evil without the revenue, so as the lesser of two evils we favor licensed oar-rooms, but if the combined ettort of our churches, the League of Law and Order or any other human agency c.in suppress the wnlsky traflic In Greenwood we will ever afterward be a prohibitionist. Mr. Joel 8. Bailey Is still Improving. Mr. U. U. lientieiuan, of Spartanburg, has opened a stock ol watches and jewelry in R F. Dunbar & Go's store. He Is also prepared to repair tine watches and Jewelry. He tells the readers in another place what lie can do. From responsible gentlemen we learn that he not only u gentleman to the manor born, but an expert workman, having been raised up in the jewelry store of his father Mayor Henneinau, of Spartanburg, and afterward spending three years North. We therefore com menu uim to our tuiicui. We would like to see a better feeling exist between North uml South, and sometimes are led to hope that its era is beginning to dawn. The rising generation of both sections seem anxious to bury the injuries done both during the war, and an occasional, intlammatory, and to the South, insulting speech from such men as Ingalls, Morse and Sheppnrd. We can't believe, however, that they voice the sentiment.of the North. Au observant politician remarked to us today, that if Tillman went into ttie convention lacking two votes ot the nomination he would be defeated, basing his supposition on the result of former conventions more recent than that of Alabama, In which Kolb, the strongest candidate for several ballots was defeated.

In the Forum for June Is begun a series of autobiographic articles by some of the foremost men in England and America, pointing ! out the chief formative influences on their I education and careers. The llrst of these is by W. K. H. IjCClty, the author of "The Ills-! tory of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe." 11 It is one of the few contributions that this! eminent historian has ever made to period I -1 cals. He reviews the development of thought in England during the life of the generation Just passing oil' tnc stage. Col. Henry S. Sauford, the American mem < ber of the International Commission which | organized the Congo Free Stats, and himself, an African explorer, explains the political anil commercial Higiiiucance 01 uie worn uiai ; turn been done in opening tlie dark continent. Tliis Is tlie fullest account. Mini lias been any- i where published of the commercial oppoitu- i nltlcs of Africa and of the 'alior that has been ' Uone looking toward the building up of civili?ation there. There are two political articles In this number. Henry Chiules Leu. of Philadelphia, whose recent letter to the President provoked much controversy, has an essay on ' Kelich- , ism in Politics," showing the chief causes of I, bad municipal government. The Hon. Roger Q. Mills, discussing "New England and the ' New Tariff Kill," advises the New England j manufactures to favor the reduction of unties | 011 raw materials, polntingout that they de-! pond chlelly on nianufactiires and that cheap j | raw materials are necessary for continued ( prosperity. A third art icle, which lias a noli-1 tical bearing, is "Public Control of the Tele gruph," by Mr. Bronson C. Keeler, who pre- j sents the leading facts about the development ], and the conduct of the telegraph In all conn-j tries, to show that governmental control hits , been belter than private control. He has col-' lected a great mass of statistics about tolls i, and the use of the telegraph in dilliront conn- j j tries. Mr. Edmund Gosse, the English critic, lays clown wnai ne conceives id ue me iiiiuim me development of Hie novel in the future, explaining whereiij the modern tendency to cxccksIvo realism has suite red a rebound. , Other articles are "Culture atul Current Orthodoxy," by the Itev. l)r, A. J. F. Behrends, which Is a liberal orthodox statement of the changes of creed ; "Genius and Woman's Intuition," by I'rot Lester F. Ward; "Encroachments of tlie Sea," by l'rof. W. J. -Metice; "The Exhaustion of the Arable Lands," by 0. Wood Davis; and "Defence.'-' Against Epidemic Diseases," by Dr. Cyrus Edson. THE INSTINCT OF THE BETTER PART OF HUMAN NATURE. U'lial a lli-othcr Kill tor Has to Niiy of, (lie ISoycott of tlic I'ress and Haulier. Cheraw /lejtortcr. The Abbeville Press and Banner is still talking about the beneficial results to that paper of the boycott which was put upon it. a few months ago. Instead of the I'-rcxs uiiil Banner beiug Injured by the action of the Alliance, the paper is in a more flourishing condition than ever. This will always be the outcome of such intimidation?a paper that expresses Its honest convictions, no matter how much it may ollcud some of Its readers, will be upheld in the end. The Alliance in this county has not so far attempted any boycott?the nearest approach was the condemnation the other day of the I\'cws unit Courier and /{( porter by some of the farmers of Alt. Crogran. But this was not the action of the Vlliance we are happy to say, not that 1L would injure the xtt-porivr, uui uie finance wuuiu uu me Miiieicr. When that.organization presumes to toll newspapers nix! people who see lit lo dill'er with them that they must think so ami so or be boycotted, then the thinking men belonging to the Alliance and those outside, will join hands and give a heartier support than ever to those papers or people. It is an instinct or the better part of human nature lo rebel against the persecution of a letlow being. FOR CHARLESTON. I ? , Kcv. John Uhsh I,eaves (lie Cliiircli of the Atonement.

N. Guy of Lowrysville had his leg amputated on lust Teusday. Last week he paired a "corn" between his toes and on the next day took a violent pain in his leg. On the following morning his toe was black and gangrene set in and rapidly spread unlil it reached above his knee, where the leg was amputated. The operation was performed as a last resort by Drs. Anderson, Brawley, Davega, r ~ mu~ ijove iiJiu jLUcvyuiiucii. jl iic upcrnuuu was successfully performed, the leg being taken oft' above the knee. It is said though that the main artery did not bleed, indicating that the desease had progressed above the place of amputation, and there is little hope of hi* recovery." It is stated that forty-one per cent, of the crimes in Germany last year were committed by intoxicated persons. A temperance editor of Lincoln, Neb., recently fouud a coffin on his doorstep, placed there by the liquor men to indicate his fate if he continued to "[>er8ecute" them, whereupon the editor sold the coffin for seven dollars and presented the money to the W. C. T. U. James Carlyle, the last surviving brother of Thomas Carlyle, whom he closely resembled in appearance, died lately near Ecclefechan. Dumfriesshire, where his famous brother was born, and beside whose remains his own have been laid. Mr. Stanley is still receiving honors at the hands of the English and repay ing their attention with some rather unpleasant truths. A recent English paper says that at the city of London banquet given him, "Mr. Stanley, in returning thanks for himself and for his companions, said that the Congo might have belonged to England had Englishmen listened to his lectures between 1878 and 1884. Belgium was reaping 100 per cent. England might have had East Africa. But her journalists see everything through opera glasses. Germany to-aay has the lion's share, and can not fail to win in the long run." Home is the place where we may talk of what we have done without bei;jg charged with self-adulation. There is the place where we^may express gratification without being thought silly. There is the place where we may lounge without being thought ungraceful. There is the place where we may forget all our annoyances and troubles. Home is a ble.ssed harbor for storm-tossed mariners. Get Ready fou Your Funeral.? It id embarrassing for a preacher to have to make out a case in a funeral sermon. The case ought to be made ready to hand. Made out by the integrity and holiness of the conflined life.

Messenger oj Peace. The country lost six hundred and flfty-six thousand men, or about onesixth as many as there were slaves, and three billions and seven hundred millions of dollars, not including the ? loss of the labor and industry of the vast armies, North and South, during , the four years of war. "The valuation set on the slaves, at . v4$| the request of Abraham Lincoln in 1862, by members of Congress from the Border States, was three hnndred dollars each, and assuming their number at four millions, which is an over-estimate, the value of all the slaves in the United States was one billion and two hundred millions of dollars, or less than one-third of the money cost of the war. "But it is questionable whether Iom of the men and money was the epeat est detriment, The subtle moats evil which pervades society and invades every household, and is clearly traceable to tliis source; the record of increasing crime which blackens the journals of the land, and takes its date ' ? and beginning from 1862; the feverish war spirit which survives in military organizations and the minds of men, producing an imminent tendency to war, which did not previously exist; the sectional feeling between the North and South, outlasting generations; tbe contention and bitterness of confl.cts between races and between castes, make an accumulation, a sum total of evil, beyond calculation. ******* "Abraham Lincoln, wise and far-see- 5 ing, blessed with special opportunities for clear and distinct views of tbe issue, and a true understanding of affairs, gave the weight of his great ^ name and juudment to compensated emancipation in 1862. He was overborne by the passions of men and the din of war. But subsequent events Iidvp vindicated hiu wisdom Tho riat was great: the North approached much uearer to finaucial exhaustion than was then publicly known." Arrow-Heads. From The Indians Friend, Philadelphia. We may be color blind as to the In- - M dians's skin, but we can see the value of his land from afar. There is not ouly an Indian question, but also an Indian answer; nave ,K you heard both ? --J Let it be kept constantly in mind that an Indian has rights as a man, they who jleny him these rights wrong . their own manhood. The object of Industrial education, ^ so far as the red man is concerned, is not to develope the American Indian, but to evolve the Indian American. General Armstrong says that until a late tour of observation he was seven -v^aa years behind the facts; but tbe landgrabber wasn't in his company,?this last is generally ahead of the facts and * the Indian. -^9HH Tne white man says: "The only ' good Indian is a dead Indian the : red man m many parts ot tins fair land hasn't yet made up his mind i whether there are any good white men p, or not,?alive or dead. . ' ' : For all the wrongs done the Indian . Z we must make answer to God. The Thorne typesetting and distrib uting machine is worked by three men : one attends to the supply of type to the distributer, another worke the keyboard for composing, and a third removes the type ana justifies . Vfl them. The three men do about the y.j work of seven compositors. Some years ago a Catholic priest in Canada named Martin turned Protea- " tant, entered the Methodist ministry? if we are not mistaken?and married. Recently he resolved to return to the Catholic church, and with a view to liiis lie emereu into currespuuueuue with the archbishop in those regions, who gave him the receipt by which he should save his soul. J us t now many or what penitential pills he should swallow we do not know ; but the first was to be to desert liis family. His wife knew nothing of the matter. The husband disappeared, but she expected his return till some nuns called on her to inform her that her husband was to see her no more; but that she and her children could rely on them for care and protection in the convent. Of course she thought she had had enough of Catholic protection, and so declined. There is something a little remarkable in this affair, it is not strange that as mau should take it into his head to desert his family, for it is not sufficiently unusual to be strange, but is a little strange that a bishop could be found that would lay down such a rule of repentance and reformation. Of course tbe bishop claimed that the man was not married, not Vinvhiur hoon murripH hv a nrit?st,r if "M""b wvv" """ -v " i ?- ? ? therefore he had demanded that the rite of matrimony between this man , and his wife should be solemnized again, and this time by a Catholic priest, we would only pronounce it a piece of impudence ; but to command the profligate to leave his family, and to command him to commit this crime in the name of religion, is blasphemy, and an insult to civilization as well.? Pacific Methodist. s * ^ ^ An English paper mentions that Rev. Baptist Noel, at a late meeting of the Baptist Union, staled that the other day he was staying in Cornwall with a. gentleman who meutioned that there was au item in the parish book to this effect: "Paid to Mr. Soand-So, seven shillings and six peuce, for driving away Methodists." Now, Ill mat parisn mere were juuriccu Wesleyan chapels, and they were all filled. The population of the place was 10,000, and the whole of them, with the exception of five families, were Methodists. This result was attributable to the earnest determination of the first Methodists to preach the Gospel to every creature. They did so, and the Lord went with them. The Government of Manitoba has withdrawn all help from denominational schools, and the Catholics are in a rage. This is a wise move, It is an outrage that money raised by taxes should be used to maintain denominational schools. There is certainly some consideration due compositors. They are not overpaid, and every piece of poor manuscript makes a difference. An article written so villainously as to take twice as long to set it up as it oiiirhf. to hike inst doubles the work or divides the earnings. If this is not stark robbery, it is a form of imposition which touches it very closely. Write plainly, and use paper freely.? Northwestern. Never judge by appearances. A shabby old coat may contain an editor, while the man wearing a hightoned plug hat and supporting a cane may be a delinquent subscriber, says an exchange. A young lady, visiting for the first time in the country, was alarmed at the approach of a cow. She was too frightened to run, and shaking her parasol at the animal, she said, in a very stern tone: f'Lie down, sir! lie down!" f
