The commencement exercises of the Palmetto Collegiate Institute, at Lexington, were well worth the time and expense of attending. Large and enthusiastic crowds were present, Joe Allen in Our News Letter.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: As a rule, man's a fool, When its hot, he wants it cool, When its cool, he wants it hot, Never contented with what he's got. As a rule man's a fool, Yes, he's a fool as a rule; When its dry, he wants it wet, Not contented with what he gets. When it's wet he wants it dry, This is his continual cry; For as a rule, man's a fool, And should be plunged in the pool. Somewhere I have read where two armies met on the battle field and after fighting for some time, one side fell back and the opposing side mistook it for defeat. The opposite army had fallen back simply to recruit and get a better position. When this was done, it fell upon the enemy and won a complete victory. It will not do to be too hilarious and bouyant over fancied victories. Some time ago Billy with his mustered forces at command, fought a battle with his opposing enemy, Gen. Green, and fancied at the time he had won the day, but alas! alas! he has won neither day nor night. Gen. Green has returned with his tens of thousands and with the shouts of Gideon and completely taken possession. As for the night?well the mosquito has that. T "I V. ll . 1.5_ f JL read id ids latst wee* a pajjeio vi the farmers being discouraged and being blue. Well, Mr. Editor, it is quite enough to make 'em feel blue, if they want to see something blue, send 'em to Billy. No, friends, its not Billy who is blue, but his fields are blue (green) just the same. "Tne rains have descended"?and I liked to have said; the floods, have come and old Green is smiling a smile as broad as the editor does when he grins to the jingle of the silver dollar. He fancies himself monarch of all he surveys; and if these Mexican torrents continues, his fancies will be realized. I've heard in by gone days, where the General surrendered on conditions. The conditions were that he was to have every other row to bury his dead in, but if there is not a change soon, every row will be needed and then not room enough. If I have Qmnp <^rv weather awhile and had "Sage Plunkett's," famous "Brown family" with me and they would work as vigorously as they did catching that bushel of lightening bugs, think I'ds soon make the old fellow retreat with a double quick, to the tune of 4 Yankee Doodie". But, Mr. Editor, if present conditions continue, I fear Billy will have to re'rea*, if abie, to hU own tune and sing it himself. That young man who tried to catch his b9st girl with an ice cream festival, has about concluded to ice cream her next time for preserving Vnnnnr mnn. Vnil hftd ^unuuco.

We want a "locomotive j thresher1' to come down here now. Teach pies, sweet girl graduates, and grass and showers are all the go now, save now and then, when it j rains so hard till you can't go. Mr. Editor, is it possible that the j I monstrous, famous, carniverous, mule eating bovine, devouring, man consuming fish caught in the famous Black creek waters, that the supposed Dr. Crum who had partly rated his fish ship's craving appetite, after a post mortem and minute microscopic examination, turned out to be?
