A SDMJHGR DAY.
With head on fingers inter wrought
I lie with all the world at peace ;
Each sun-gilt cloud a golden fleece
As rich as that which Jason sought.
Beneath the elm tree where I lie,
I see within the brook a tro at
From 'neath a sunken log look out,
And scan the pool with wary eye.
With gleams of iridescent light,
Tho dragon-il y on gauzy wing
Above' the stream hangs hovering,
Then, like an arrow' ont of sight.
I catch a flash of flittering flame,
And, from her hammock hanging
near,
Tho mother oriole can hear
As soft she sings her sweetheart's name.
Tte aenl of hearing tense and bare,
I hear a drowsy drone, and see
From bloom to bloom the bombie bee
Lounge through the amber, wine-warm
air.
Then every note of bini-born sound.
That down of all the feathered tribe,
The catbird, mocks with merry jibe
An echo of fall-voiced rebound.
Through half closed lashes' shading
mist,
A slanting stair the sunlight's rays,
.The far-off hills swim in a haze
Of purple, gold and amethyst.
Beneath the sun's alchemic test,
Boll, dust-like notes to life arise.
And golden-winged, the butterflies,
Float on the topaz air at rest.
Unto their work the mowers lean,
I hear the swish of swinging scythes.
Before whose sweep the tall grass
writhes.
And falls behind in waves of green.
And, giving .voice to joyous verse,
Pitched to the whetstone's treble ring,
To me are borne the airs they sing
As xhongh forgot the primal carse..
Ute patient oxen bow and strain
To storm browned barns from meadow
fields,
With harvest which the summer yields
High piled upon the creaking wain.
Loosed from the school-house near the
town,
A group of children laugh and jest,
The buttercup's chin shadow test,
And blow tho dandelion's down.
Adown tho West the sun sinks low,
As grows the twilight cornea a hush,
8ave where with vesper chant the
thrash
Sings in the sunset's afterglow.

Woman's Work.
By Bev. G. W. Hath
[An Address Delivered at tte Florida
Baptist Convention, Lake Cit!/.]
The female part of mankind have
never occupied as high a position in
society in heathen lands as in conn*
tries where the teachings of divine
velation are known. The heathen
man is considered by her lord
man-as ai/baast of buiden, a
any people possess, just that mm
-woman is elevated, loved and re
pected. Look among the savages
Africa, India and the wild Indians
.America. Look at the hundreds
:millions in China, where ber eiie
'ence is regarded as a misfortune, hi
?ife a burden, and her death a relit
In Mohammedan lands, where tl
people have a partial belief in tl
true God, her condition is just a litt
better. In Roman Catholic countri
they come a little nearer the Bibi
Woman's condition is something be
ter than among the followers of tl
false prophet. But not until we con
to Bible lands, where all have fri
and foll access to God's Holy Won
do we find womau elevated to h<
true position in society.
1. Woman was created for tl
helpmeet for man (Gen. ii : 18
Miriam, the sister of Moses an
Aaron, as a prophetess, assisted ht
brothers (Ex. xv : 20. Mary an
Martha, of Bethany, were unite
with their brotber, Lazarus, to entei
tain the Saviour. Aquila was assis
ed by his wife, Priscilla, in teachin
the great Apollos the way of Go
more perfectly. They also were helj
era of Pani in his missionary wori
Phoebe, a Bister in the church i
i Cenchrea, also helped Paul in h:
.missionary service.
2. Upon some occasions, it seeme
'-necessary that women should be kai
,<tr<; in gook works. Deborah, tb
{prophetess and judge of Israel, wc
the leader of God's people againt
their enemies, while the timid Bara
would not go forth to battle withoc
ber. Jael, a woman ol Ierael, kille
Sisera, and the honor of the victor
upon that occasion was given to
woman. Lydia is named as leadin
the way in believing the gospel, anc
in obedience to Christ, was the fire
baptized at Philippi, and the first on
in that heathen city to invite tb
apostles into ber house. It was
woman that led the inhabitants c
Samaria to belive on Christ.
3. Esther was instrumental at on
time of saving the whole Jewish pee
pie from a cruel death. (See boo
of Esther.) Especial mention is mad
of Rahal- and Ruth.
4. Hannah's name stands npon th
inspired record as making the -noolt
ana1 purest offering of comea alion t
God's service of any mentioned i
Old Testament history. (I Sam. i : 5
5. A Gentile woman, by her im
portunate faith, obtained a blessin
that had not been promised-th
most remarkable instance cf faitl
mentioned in the New Testament
(Matt, xv: 21-28; Maik vii: 26)
6. A woman of Samaria, was bless
ed in receiving, from the lips of th
Saviour, one of the most beautifu
and important discourses left on re
" ?-HMM Mm,.IMIIMI?IMI|
cord, in which He declared Himse
to be the Messiah. (John iv.)
7. The poor widow, who ca3C ht
mites into the treasury of the Lori
gave more, in the estimation of ot
Saviour, than any other. (Mar
xii: 42)
8. Mary of Bethany, with her bc
of precious ointment, did a lovin
service for Jesus, which placed ht
name high on the roll of honor in tb
New Testament.
9. The women who formed their
selves into a society, to minister unt
the necessities of the Saviour wit
their substance, followed Him "a
He went through every city and vi!
Jage, preaching the glad tidings t
the kingdom of God." "Mary, calle
Magdalene, Joanna the wife of Chuza
Herod's steward, and Sosanna, .am
many others," formed the society.
10. Woman followed Jesus notonl;
as He went about doing good, bn
even to the cross. When His dieci
pies-the strong men-forsook Hin
and wu away in fright, timid, gentle
weak women remained, braving eve
ry danger. And when they coull
minister to his wants on earth ?<
longer, with tender, loving hand,
they prepared the embalming spices
and hastened to His tomb. And ;
woman is the first to greet Him aftei
He arises from the dead. And sb<
is honored to receive the first mes<
sage given to any one alter his glori'
ou8 resurrection (Mark xvi: 9
John xx : 17.)
Tbe text in I Cor. xiv : 35 has evi?
dently been misconstrued. For while
it is improper for woman to enter the
pnlpit and become a public preacher
of the gospel, yet it is plain, from
the teachings cf the New Testament,
that she has more to do than simply
attend the meetings of the church
and sit, an idle spectator of what is
being done for the advancement of
the cause of Christ.
jf there is a Ladies' Missionary
Society in your church, are you a
member of it? If not, why not?
And if a member, are you discharg
ing your foll duty as a member? It
there is no Society in your church,
will you go to work at once and or
ganize one as soon as possible ? lue
voice of Jesus is sounding, oh, how
sweetly and earnestly, " Go work in
my vineyard to-day." Listen! You
can almost hear him say :
I gave my life for thee.
What hast thoa given for me. .
?'.Let our sisters arm themselves with
thtejrutb8 of the Bible inJ^Jxeircheadgj
ot" Jeeus, let them work patiently
and prayerfully to induce every 'amily
to take and read the Florida .Baptise
Witness, the Foreign Mission Jour
nal, the Heathen Helper, and other
good, religious literature. By these
means all the enemies mentioned can
be overcome.
Do not excuse yourself, my sister,
on the plea that you are weak and
incompetent ; this excuse will not paes
current in heaven. Follow the ex
ample of Esther.
Do like Mary did ; go sit at the
feet of Jeeus. Learn of Him all you
need to know. Get from Him and
His word every qualification you
need to have. Then go to work;
pray and work ; trust and work ; hope
and work.
And when the warfare is ever, and
a voice so sweet that it will enrap
ture thy spirit with ecstatic bliss for
ever shall speak to thee and any,
'.Well done, thou good and faithful
servant. Enter into the joy of thy
Lord."

Hon. D. T. Corbin, of South Caro
lina, was in the city last week. He
is a delegate to Chicago. He reports
the eighteen votes of his State as
safe for Arthur as long as there is a
prospect of nominating him. In t' J
event of being obliged to go for a
second choice the delegation will
make an effort to be united for some
one who can most surely carry the
great States of tNew York and Ohio
-especially New York. Personally,
the preference of the delegates take
a wide range. Gen. Smalls has a
strong leaning for Logan, and there
are several who think with him ;
Blaine has several friends, As ana
i ti ve of Vermont, Mr. Corbin prefers
' Edmunds. If Gen. Grant's name
1 should be mentioned he would doubt
! less get the delegation nearly solid.
1 But there is, so far, no other under
? standing than that the vote will go to
Mr. Arthur as long as there is a

The Fight in the Fourth Dislriet.
{Columbia Cor. Augusta Chronicle.)
It seems to be pretty well settled
that the liveliest Congressional race
in the State will be in this, the Fourth
District. The following candidates
are said to be in the field : Col. Le
Roy F. Yoomans, Col. Wm. Wallace
and Col. F. W. McMaater, all from
Columbia, and Col. McKissick, of
Union, Col. W. H. Perry, of Green
ville, and Col. Evins from Spartan
burg. This leaves Laurens the other
county in the district, without a can
didate, bot that county also will
doubtless be heard from before the
nomination is made, as she too bas
some good Congressional timber. All
of the gentlemen named are lawyers
and distinguished men. Col. You
mans is ex-attorney-general of the
State and perhaps the most eloquent
man in South Carolina. Col. Wallace
?is State Senator from this county,
and a man of sterling worth. -Col.
McMaster is a very able lawyer and
has been conspicuous in his advocacy
of the public schools of the State.
Col. Perry is State Senator from
Greenville, isa son of ex-Governor
Perry, and like his distinguished
father is a man of commanding in
tellect. Col. McKissick is a member
of the House of Representatives
from Union County. He is a man of
great natural ability and is a gifted
humorist. He waa elected to Congress
during the Radical days, but ot conree
was counted out. Col Evins, the in.
cumbent, has been three times elected
to Congress and has filled the high
position to the satisfaction of his con
stituents.
The Hon. Henry A. Gaillard, of
Fairfield County, has been nominated
by a correspondent of the Winnsboro*
JVews and Hexald for Congress /rom
the Fourth District, who saye : " In
electing him (Gaillard) to succeed the
Hon. J. H. Evins, the people of this
district would not only honor him,
but would do credit to their o'*n
good judgment ; and the State at
large would reap a rich harvest from
the long experience, earnest faithful
ness and acknowledged ability of a
representative so amply qualified to
fill this important and responsible posi
tion in our National Legislature." ?
Hydrophobia in augusta.
On Friday afternoon a young col
ored woman, named Annie Smith,
on him and ?earned the fact"? of tr.
case. The girl was bitten exactl
nine months ago by a dog which sho\
ed every symptom of hydrophobi
and both the girl and her paren
were in constant dread that she misi
at any time be taken with the terrib
malady, more especially at son
specified period aff - having bet
bitten-nine da*" ' .8 or month
She was taken sic Ljnt a week a?
and as she had been particularly fea

that her trouble was that awful mah

worse and at the sight of water wt
thrown into the moet terrible convu
sions. She would ask for water, an
when brought to her would grasp tb
tumble-, look at the water, then dae
it from her and hil back in spasm
Dr. Wilcox saw the girl and endea\
ored to give her some soothing dos?
which she tried to swallow, but failec
her throat being as dry as parchmen
She lingered in this terrible conditioi
suffering great agony, until Frida
afternoon when she became uncon
acioiiB and shortly afterwards diec
The girl in her suffering was eenie
times very much excited, but offeree
no personal injury to anyone. Tb
dog that bit her had been runnin
loose, exhibing all the rabid symr.
toms of hydrophobia. This ia tn
first case of the kind occuring in Au
gusta for five years and a clear caa
of hydrophobia. The girl waa fe
several days without water and mue

She wae an intelligent young woma;

Cheap Quinine by Tree-Trade.
The Philadelphia Record report
that the combination of America;
and European manufacturers of quin
ine which h as heretofore controlled th
entire market of the world, has gone
to pieces, and that there has been <
great reduction in the price of th<
drug. A prominent wholesale druj
dealer in Philadelphia says that "thi
effect of the tumble will be to re
duce the price of pills about 10 or lt
cents per dozen." About the 1st o
January European quinine was quotet
at $165 per ounce and America;
quinine at $1.85 per ounce. Durinj
the first three days of last week 10,
OOO ounces were sold in New Yorl
alone. The agents of the foreigt
I manufacturers on Saturday last of
fered to deliver future orders a
1 $1.07} per ounce. Buyers freely of
I fered $1.05 per ounce. Americai
I quinine sold in various lots on Satur
'? day for frcm $1.23 to $1 30 per ounce

soon arrive at some arrangement, ai
they claim that they cannot nell a
the present low figures.

From the Barmoell Sentinel.
Every South Carolinian who kno*
Sam Melton, and all who have nedi
or read anything of his doable-b??l
action mode of standing aside juros
will not believe, as he says,
discontinuance of the.-political
is the result of the Goveroment'oSr
ability to convict with Sooth Caromi
juries. Tbe Government ie diagoste
with Melton-that's the idea, anil
all probability has given him th
choice of sliding down, and out b;
the slickest ronte. What .makes. i
certain that Melton never desire*
conviction on substantial", evident
waa the compleiion of the, juriesvhi
endeavored to procure. Good mo?n
mg ! Mr. Melton.
From thc Kershaw Gazette.
Melton, with quite a flourish-^?
trumpets and a would-be: dramatii
posse, made the motion prefacing ii
with a long-winded speech.. He seem
ed to feel at last that he was in a bad
box, and seeks to take upon himseli
the credit of stopping them, at the
sane time of throwing the blame bi
inaugurating them upon his chief,
tbe Attorney General. The good
people of the State do not feel under
any special obligation to either of
them for the cessation of pers?cution,
and do not care which of the two
bej>un them. They have "felt the
iron heel of despotism, and it is a re
lief to know that a h?lt is cried.
From the Anderson Intelligencer.
No ene blames Mr. Melton for pros?
ecuting cases which were sent op to
tbe court. E/en if they were trivial
Le had the right to have them passed
on by the court, but ejrery right
minded man is obliged to condemm
in unmeasured terms his efforts to
pack juries for the purpose of secur
ing partisan verdicts opon partisan
and in many instances perjured testi
mony. It is a discredit to hie repu
tation to have prostituted his- abili
ties to so base a purpose, and it will
require years of proper conduct for
him to efface it
From the Chester Reporter.
Why didn't Mr. Melton exercise
his " discretion" at the first? He saw
the end from the beginning. He was.
well aware that theae cases had no
foundation in troth ; that they . wer, j
trumped np in the interest of de-:
feated candidates, or to gratify peivJ
sonaj oradges'. ' ? ^^LJ?
S^S^isTrics attorney' deserves ?o*
credit for discontinuing the cases, for
if a conviction hy means of a packed'
jury and fa?t witnesses could have
been obtained, innocent men would
now be languishing in Albany Peni
tentiary.
Frifui the Lancaster Review.
Democrat as we are to-day, we do
not hesitate to hail thia action of the
United States Court aa the harbinger
of growing icBpect for our common
country, and of the increased happi
nga and prosperity of all classes of
our people.
From thc. Raleigh Xcws and Observer.
The political prosecutions in South
Caroliua that were conceived in sin
and born in iniquity have died in
gloriously and no longer encumber
the dockets of the Federal Court.
Why ?T Is St.
There seems to be a complaint of
Bhort rations in certain sections of the
State. This should surprise no one.
It is obliged to be the caae when we
raise very little else tha cotton.
Cotton and the Lien Law are mining
our State. We make this prediction :
" Thal just so long os the Lien Law
remains on our statute booh, just so
long will there be scarcity of provi
sions in thc State" "Repeal it and
vx will hare an abundance cf corn,
wheat, oo.ts and meat."
There is no money for the farmer
at the present price of cotton, and in
order to make farming pay, supplies
for both man and beast must be raised
ac home. To repeal the Lien Law to
go into effect immediately would be
hard on numbers of farmers, and
time should be allowed them to get
themGelves in a better condition to
meet the great change. The Houee
of Representatives had the backbone
to repeal the law last winter but the
Senate backed down and refused to
sustain the House. Members of the
Legislature claim that if you repeal
the Lien Law, you take away from
the farmer his basia of credit. This
is done to catch the popular vote, no
doubt. We take the position that no
man can show that this law is of any
benefit to the farmers of the State.
The people of Abbeville county ahould
ascertain the sentiments of every
candidate for legislative honors, bc*
fore casting their votes for any of
them. It ia decidedly to the interest of
the farmer to have this law repealed
and he will be working against hie
own interest if he vote8 for men who
will not work for i's repeal.-Saluda

J Sentimental Suicide.
. ! A paragraph in the Col un? hin Yro
\ man states that "Mr. Tillman en-;
j dorses Senator Butler's opposition to j
j the Blair Educational Biil, and may j
speak, nu he will vote, r.gainst it." ;
Whenever we learn authoritatively '
thar Col. Tillman is oppossed to thia j
bill, we will furnish some very inter
esting reading written by this gentle
man May, 7, 1881, the published in
the Aiken Journal and Iitniew of
May 25, ISSI, while we were editing
its columns.
If such a thiug were possible, Mr.
Tillman wrote in f-tronger terms than
even Senator Butler in f.tvor of just
snch an npproprialion SB tho Blair
Bill p?o vides. B::t perhaps he too
has lal PH by the wayside before the
reactionary sentiment ou popular edu
cation. To all such men we say, be
ware that the day of reckoning cometh
not sooner than ie looked for. Let
them remember that our own white
children need common schools, and
that they are entitled to them-uot
HS a benefaction, butas a right which )
the State owec to enable them to
pr perly discharge the du*?es and
functions of citizenship. The amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
State3 forbid such a discrimination aa
would permit public schools for the
whites and none for the negro. There
ore it is folly to turn our back, from
motives prejudice on a great measure
which proposes to increase the com
mon echool facilities for our entire
population.
We legard Southern opposition to
this mensure as a epecies of .senti
mental suicide, without one mitiga
ting ingredient of common sense. To
refuse a wise and legitimate appro
priation by the United States Gov
ernment in aid ol'our coramou schoolf
when the people of the State are be

Tuberose Bulbs for Northern

who has MX acres under cultivation.
He bas a ready sale for all that he
can raiee, and the profits rue enormous.
It is estimated that ova, ?ere in tube

five aerea of cotton. The expense ol
cultivation ia light aa compared with
cotton, and it coats less to harvest the
crop."
Governor Cleveland, oi New York,
has signed the bill prohibiting the
manufacture and sale ol oleomargine.
The manufacturera of that article are
fuiicus, for they have a le-ge capital
invested in the bnsiress, and they
loudly denounce the measure as un
constitutional and unjust, and threaten
to carry the matter to the courts.
Whatever the result of their conflict
with the authorities may be, the
manufacturers have only themselves
to blame for the passage of the law.
If they had sold oleomargarine for
just what it was, they would not have
been interfered with, but wheu they
undertook to brand it ;: gilt edged
butter," they were carrying their
greed a little too far, and it is only
right to prevent them Irom imposing
on the public.
The Union Times says that in ad
dition to the usual choir of the Meth
odist Church at that place recently a
new feature was introduced, by the
accompaniment of the cornet and
clarionet. We wonder what the old
-time Methodists would pay to this if
they were in the flesh now. They
would not even tolerate an org*D, to
say nothing of a cornet and clarionet.
Verily the world ia moving.
" Mama," said a little five-year-old
boy uf this town the other day, "if
chickens' eggs will hatch little chickens
why don't you get some cat bird eggs
and hatch 60tne little kittens." Fact.
Oleomargine has found ita way into
tho F.ugliah market from this country,
and is creating coneiderab e talk among
the people there. It is certain to en
counter fierce opposition, and there
is a strong probability that stringent
prohibition laws will be enacted.
The only two living daughters ol
Geu. R. E. Lee, Mary aud Mildred,
make their home with their brother
Custis, who succeeded his father as
president of the Washington Univer
sity at Lexington. Mary has travell
ed all over the world since the war,
and both are most intelligent .ladies.
Neither of the daughters ever mar
ried. Two other daughters, Annie and
Agnes, died, one during the war and
the other after it.
Gen. Gordon writes from Khar
toum that he has provisions for five
months, but ia hemmed in by 500 de

Arabs. He wants the millionaires ol
England and America to raise
$1,000,000 for his mirror.
