"THE OTHER lOUNt MAN" A CLASS-DAY ROMANCE. 0, mother, I've bad a gorgeous time! I was theie from eleven till ten, Such glorious fun, such a beautiful place and, mother, such splendid men! o I wish I wa.e a student! and mother, I saw Cousin Ned; He has grown to be "perfectly lovely," and he had a still lovelier spread. Fo - only think, mother, as Fan and I got out of that horrid car, Cou,in- Ned came up with another young man, so we didn't need dear papa. But we ;ave him our shawls and umbrellas to iold; and, Ned, he went off with Fan. But he introduced me-mother, why do you frown?-to his comrade, theotheryoung [man. IIe was "perfectly splendid!" We went to the church: and, mother dear, wasn't it fun ? I recognizcd lots of fellows there before the oration was done. And, mother, what are "Peelers?" I thought it a regular sin For the whole Freshmen class to cry "Pcel ers ?" and make such a noise coming in, He carried me round to the spreads, mother; it was just like a matinee ball; And then he and I had a tete-a-tete in roman. tic old Holworthy Hall. He made me smoke a wee cigarette; I drank my first glass of champagne; And I fibbed when he spilled ice-cream on my dress-for I told him it wouldn't (stain. Then I went to the dance round the tree, mo ther; it was really a beautiful scene, Though the Sophomores pushed the poor Freshmen round; I thought thatwas ter (ribly mean. While the Seniorsembraced one another with such fervent affection and vim, That, mother, I really felt jealous when I saw all his friends hugging him. When we got through that horriblehugging, we went to a lot of nice "teas;" And then we adjourned from the rooms, mo ther, to a quiet spot under the trees. He was splendid! he said I was lovely. Do you think that was quite the right thing? And mother, he gave mea keepsake; see, here it is-only a ring. I spoke to him by his first name, mother; you really don't think that he'd care? Ile called me by mine and, and I didn't. I gave him a lock of my hair, Which he kissed, and then put in his watch, mother; and a watch, you know, lies (next the heart. Papa cruelly came at that moment, and I alas! had to depart. Ile said he would walk to the station; now, mother dear, wasn't that kind? Ned and Fan made remarks about -'spoon ing," and giggled like children behind. But, mother dear, while we were walking how nice it was!-down to the car, He said something "perfectly splendid." I'll tell you to-morrow, mamma. An Editor's Tormentors "M. QtAD'S" EXPERIENCE. No one ever comes up into the rooms of the top story of a four-story building set apart for the staff of a daily paper. This is why every article reads so evenly and smoothly. All you've got to do if you belot.g to the staff is to climb up there, sit all day long in the deep, grim silence, ard when midnight comes you can lower yourself down stairs writh a 't consciousness that every article will read like clock work.

[South Carol'nian. The Liberal Movement. Telegraphic dispatches in the city dailies represent the recent Liberal de monstration in New York City as a great success. The meeting is said to have been the largest ever held in that city, and that the first gun fired for the coin ing Presidential election was under im posing circumstances. The great tide of National reform which has swelled and surged for months, and passed through the length and breadth of the land with irresistible volume, rose to its highest point on this occasion, and never since the Cooper Institute was built has such a tremendous audience filled its spacious hall. This is indeed cheering, and a hopeful sign of the future. We have the privilege of looking on at the surging of this mighty tide, and hoping. The Simm' Memorial. It will be remembered that an effort is being made to raise a fund toward erecting a monument in memory of the late, highly gifted and lamented Wm. Gilmore Simms, and that committees were appointed for every county in the State. Newberry is expected to give with the usual liberal and open-handed generosity which has always heretofore been exhibited whenever her citizens have been called upon. The c:mmnittt e appointed for Newberry feel the ttm s embarrassment at this juncture, in view of the present troubles now resting on the county, and as they are asked and expected to do a part in this work and report to a genera! meeting, state frank ly, in justice to themselfes and the com muanity, that nothing can- now be done. The whole business of the county is made stagnant by the sweeping arrests which are now going on,,and all trade comparatively being stopped, and a bare ly perceptible circulation'of money, they feel that it would be not only a waste of time, but foolishness, to . call upon th tir fellow-citizens for aid in this matter, when they so much need it tbemselves. Should any one feel a desire to con trib ute to the cause however, no matter how small the amount, the comimittee will be glad to receive it and forward the samne to the chairman, Alfred Iluger, Esq., in Charleston. Committee for Newberry, Rob't Mc Caughrin and T. F. Greneker. Rest-Political Rest. The experience of the past few years is sufficient we think to convince the minority in this State that their true and, at present, only abi.ding interest lies outside of politics. We have led the for lor-n hope long enough; and have been kicked, and buffeted, robbed arnd impris oned,in the vain effort to right the wrongs which exist in the State government. Every effo)rt mnade to produce harmony of action h-:s resulted in injury and per secution. It is time now to let politics alone, and exercise a pissivism or stoic ism in all that relates to State or Fede ral elections. Had this policy been adopted long ago, we fi rmly believ-e it would not only have been infinitely bet ter for us pecuniiarily- and socially, but politically. The dominant party having no opposition, and nothing to whet its sword of hate and revenge against,would have been weaker to-day insteadl of stronger, and the signs of deliverance from oppression greater. We should make no issue with the party, suggest nothing, a-lvise nothing, but let them go on and ont, till by the natural law of events the wrong shall righ t itself. If thc sensibie, and moderate colored citizens want reform in the State govern ment, and are anxious for the white peo plte to assist in achieving so desirable a consummation, and ask for it, let it be given, and it will be given. Further than this we can do nothing, and it is the sheerest fully to attempt anything. Aside from this w-e may wvell discard poli tics, and let elections alone, better never vote again than,that in the attempt to do we!1, our people should be made to suffer as we are now suf'ering. Let the Re plublicans have the whole field to them selves, and it they split, and tight among themselves, it is their own Light and not ours. What we want now particularly is rest, rest from politig. E'very energy should be concentrated on labor and the developumen t of agriculture and trade. Especiaily let the farmer go to work now, an-i make food crops, and work with a will, and make everything tell, and our word for it a different aspect wid present itself ere lung.

We take the foluloirg from lthe Caro lina Spartan, wl:i paper compliains justly and indigantly of the brutality of Deputy- Marshal C. L. Casey, who it says while acting as deputy marshal ini der Major Johnson, was guilty of the most outrageous and riotous conduct at Unionville. who is now under indict. ment in the United States Court for black-mailling, for which be was deposed from ofce by Major Johnson, and who has bpen restored to office by Marshal Wallace. The Spartan relates that, a few days ago, this man Casey, accompained by a squad of United States soldiers, rode tip to the residence of Cnptaiu David Ander son, one of our most respected and weal thy citizens, residing on North Tyger River, s!ren miles from Spartanburg, and informed him that he was arrested for intimidating voters, and ordered him to report in town to the United States commissioner. Captain A. inquired of him who had wade the affidavit for the warrant? ie replied he had made it himself. Captain A. then inquired who was to prove it? Ie answered by giv ing the names of two colored men then in Captain Anderson's employment. Captain A. conscious of his innocence, came to town as ordered, and, on appear. ing before the commissioner, that officer (who we believe has striven to discharge the unpleasant duties of his office honestly and conscientiously) informed him that he knew nothing of any charges or war rant against him. Casey being sum moned, and finding that his rascally scheme, whatever it may have been, had not succeeded, attempt.d by a most barefaced and miserable subterfuge to get out of the scrape by saying that he only desired Captain Anderson to come over and pay some revenue tax still standing against him. We take pleas ure in saying that, so far as our infor mation extends, the soldiers who have accompanied Casey in his peregrinations through the county have demeaned themselves with propriety, and are not at all responsible for anything he has done or said. We heartily agree with the Spartan that such conduct on the part of government officials is without excuse or palliation, and that even an insult offered to those who are nieces arily arrested under regular form of warrant, exhibits a brutality shocking in the extreme. It is dastardly to take advantage of authoritV to insult a defenseless man, andi rone but a coward would do it. That nothing of this kind has taken place in our county, we are glad to say, the of2cers to whoi are entr-usted the dutN of making arrests, act with proper regard for the feelings of their prisoners, as well as for their friend-:. Aid this is but right, a truly brave man and officer will never dis grace himself nor humanity by being else than a gentleman of heart and feeling under all circumstances. Again do we say, that we are pleased that no sueh record, so far as we hive I e ird, t a:i te brmught against the officers in authority in Newberrv, and we trust that so long as they are engaged in this, to us unl,'easant duty, that they will ever ttu; have a proper regard for the feeliugs of the unfortunate.g The Condition in Stath Carolina The following is an extract from a private letter dated Spartanburg, S. G'., received in New Yor k by a mercantile firm of that city from a South Caroliua corresi.ondent, and published by the Jouir nal of Conmmerce: "Business is very dull here at present. The country is in such a disturbed state now there is nothing doing. The deputy United States officers with troops of sol diers arc scouring thre country day and nig'.t. arresting men every whe-re. They are I ringing old mien, some of them ol eight V and :ninety years, some even o:1 eru'che4, and lodging themi in jail. Some of these old men, I feel satisieud. have rt>t been away from their homes a night for tern or twernty years. Hundreds are leaving thre country, because no marn knows whose turn is next. We have a perfect reign of terror here. Troops are under arms and galloping in every di rection. This region was never, in fact, more quiet and p,eaceable than it is now. Money and politics seem to be the ob jects of the raid. You will scarcely see a citizen passing in the streets; and as for crops, there will t.e very little made this y-ear,if this thing goes on any longer. I saw them brin~g in some old mien to-day, who could hardly walk. I hope you gentlemen will be as lenient as possible. I have a good deal of money out, which I cannot collect at present. The same may almost be said of New berry, and it may be well to give such extended notice of the condition of af fairs, as thnat those abroad who realize the trade of the part of the country, may know what to expect. It is true that this county has not been so hardly dealt with as the one above named, but it is nevertheles, true thnat business of all kinds has received a blow from which there is no telling wvhen it' will recover, We do not exarggerate when we say, thai business is lite: ally at a porfect star.d-still. The cotton in thre cournty is held back in a great measure, antd only brought ila when dire necessity forces its sale. We are in a sad condition. Col- D. Wyatt Aiken In a letter to the Abbeville Press and Banner, says: "it is my purpose, dur ing the next ix miornths, to canvass the State with a view of awakening a more lively interest in the cause of agriculture. If the far muers, farmers' families and all others di rectly interested in agriculture will lend ime their ear, and hear hmy advice, I am vain enough to believe I can be the horm ble intstrume-nt of saving. them thousands of money annually, hereafter. I propose counselling with tire citizens of my own County befor-e going inrto other par-ts o1 the State." We shall look for the coming of Col. Aiken with lively interest. If over there was a period in our history when an awakening was needed now is that time. Agriculture and trade should oc cupy the attention of the public now to the entire exclusion of politics.

Noah and thte rest cf them not being t!e to comb their hair, presented an unusual bject in thte head gear line. and she and the s of thte women were continually run by e rest of the crew Mrs. Noah's unfailing ply was, "Wait till thte water falls," and as ch the style was known. When the ark ruck ground she put her head out of the or. (and such a head!) and exclaimed at te top of her voice: "Is this Are-a-rat?" nd the impression was, and is to this day, at it is very much like it." TuE DoL.LY VARDEN.-Mucht has been tid of thte D)olly Vat-den style of dress and Lt not muchi is kuowtt about it. For the euenit of the cnrious we give a Philadelphia sband's description of he figure made byI is wife in the "style'': "It is a dress with sunflowers, and cabbages ad pumpkins worked all over it, and a lot snakes squirmning around for a back round.

It is the first time that such a arge and general stock in this line has been Litempted here, and we see no reason to loubt that the energetic and spirited pro )rietors will make it a complete success. oVe take pleasure in inviting attention to heir large and elegant stock. In this con iection we state that their mill for grinding ,rist and meal is of sufficient capacity to mipply all demands made on it, and that his and their Tannery are in successful ope ration. We learn that D. . Phifer has been ap ;ointed County Treasurer, vice T. P. Slider, iho has been arrested. And that J. J Car ,ington, has been appointed Sheriff. Mr. C. ias given bond, but has not yet received lis commission. In the meantime Mr. Wal ter Ilouseal is acting sheriff forCoroner Sum mer who succeeded Sheriff Paysinger. We 6vould here correct a mistake which we learn hat "Salud.4", a correspondent of the News has made, to-wit : That two of Gov. Scott's fficisls are imprisoned-T. P. Slider and J. I. Houseal. It may be that Mr. Slider was an ippointee of Gov. Scott, but Deputy Sheriff [Iouseal was appointed by acting Sheriff oroner Summer. We have seen several officials of the S. C. R R., in our town of late, who were explain Ing to our merchants, the benefits to be de rived from a transit of freights to this sec tion per the South Carolina Road and its :onecting lines and ramifications, via Charleston and Augusta, In this connection we arc pleased to state that we met the lion. 11. T. Peake in our town recently, on business connected with he Laurens I. R. We hope that the day is ,ot distant when the people of that section ill again have communication with the out ,ide world through her railroad. Mr. Peake Avill be the right man if the rehabilitation of he road is left to his care. CotPLAINTS.-Many of our subscribers ,vho have the HERALD left at the PoSt Of ice in town, coMp*ain to us that when they ;o there and ask for the papers are told Ihat there are none for them. How -this is ve cannot understand, the papers are regu arly placed there and should be forthcom. ing when called for. We hope that a little more attention will be p:id to the proper distribution hereafter. And not only is this so in regard to the HE.rALD but to .ho.e from abroad. We state that for the convenience of our patrons who take their pip-rs fram town, that our office box is at their disposal, and that all papers left in it will he carefully preserved and ready when called for. The weather seemed displeased with the thermometer last week for reaciling 85, and it forthwith became quite cool, and thunder sd with lightning Flora is making her toilette very prettily, and spreading her green carpet in all the pleasant places of the earth for the chiidren to sport upon. Soon we shall have timeand sage,and catnip and calamus, the latter of which will no doubt be in greet demand. Everybody longs for fresh spring leeks, and tender radishes, and fragrant celery, and marrowy spinach, blood-enriching cress, with biting horse-rad ish, summer savory and parsley; to say no thing of the grand list of nutricious and suc culent esculents, among which are the early pea,-the potato, en robe de chambre, so good ror putting lime into children's teeth; and the grand cauli-fiower, fit for an Epicurean feast, &c. The trees are putting on their summer clothes, right sh arply. We hope they'll not be taxed for the "wearing of the green." Scars is t sa; . A gentleman at Machias, Me., over 70 years old, says that "for 43 years he has not been without crying children in his house." At Xenia, Ohio, r. man drank a glass of whiskey, said "charge it," and fell down dead. An argument in favor of the cash sys. tern as well as of temperance. Some music teacher once wrote that "the art of playing a violin requires the nicest per ception and the most sensibility of any art in the known world." Upon which an edi tor comments in the following manner: "The art of publishing a newspaper, and making it pay, and at the same lime making it please everybody, beats fiddlin' higher than a kite.' A young gentleman who went to Maine tc eMine into the condition of a mill after the late freshet, reported by due course of mail as follows: "I find a darn by the mill site, but no mill by a dam site." SCnAPS-ALL FOR THE LADIES. "Come where my love lies drenminig," and see how she looks without paint on her face.

A Cincinnati Judge has decided that ablow from a husband inflicted upon a wife is suffi cientFround for a divorce. But how is it when the wife does thre blowing? Among the contributions to the Jubilee fund of a religious society in England was one of 42l, given "as a thank offering for an excellent wife in Heaven, and an excellent wife on earth." Far sweeter music to a true woman than the tones of harp or piano, touched by her hand, are the cheerful voices of husband and children, made joyous by her presence. It would never dio at all for women to be miisters-they would give such intermina bly h-o-n-g sermons: and would mostly end with "~A man!" instead of "Amen." An imaginative writer says: "Woman is compounded of three articles, sugar, tincture of arnica, and soft soap. Sugar, because of sweetness which is apparent in most women -alas!i that in some it should have acidula. ted into strong domestic vinegar; arnica, be cause in women is to be found that quality of healing and soothing after the bruises and wounds which afflict us men in the great bat tIe of life; and soft soap, for reasons too ob vious to need specification." THE MUnEn oF TirE INNoCENTS.-No community, however moral or religions, or well governed in its municipal department, but may expect to be startled out of its wits, especially in the anomalous times in which we live. We have no less th an six churches in this blessed town of Newberry,allof which are spiritually taken care of by good met and true, have an Intendant and W ardens of character arid intelligence, and municipal laws cnough for a town of its size ; besides which we have United States Marshals and Constables sufficient to frighten the souls 001 of men, women and cbildren,nd keep down any appearance of disorder or crime. In fact the people of this community are a peculiar people, and are well guarded and looked af' ter, and yet occasionally there will crop out the winter and backward sPriug "Ot nearly every kind of crop down besides. an1 politi cally and agriculturally we have been ;ble to do but little. The animal kingdom too has been quiet-the beef market showing the poorest, bluest meat-the birds of the air and the fowls on their nests have done but little also, and yet sometimes we hear of things which we little expected. Just so was it a few mornings since, we heard a cry-it was a peculiar cry-a young, feeble cry, but one which we scarcely failed to recognize-all married men having families and children soon become familiar to the sound of this cry, and can tell it among a variety of other sounds. We heard it. It did not increase in volume, it was too young for that, and rather grew weaker and feebler for luck of strength, but the first sound was sufficient. We fol lowed It up and saw-oli-and strange to say not an officer of any kind was about-yes,we saw an old citizen of this town, a member of the Methodist church, with curly locks, a father of an interesting family-one of whom married not long since, under favorable cir cumsiances, and is living in the fear of God, and the blessed hope that the present politi cal troubles may soon be ended, and we all sliall be permitted to dwell peaceably under the vines and fg trees of our own plan'ing. Yes, we saw this man,and the cry came from under his arm ; it was hard to believe, but truth is strouger than fiction ; this old, re spected citizen. upon whose head the frosts of sixty winters had fallen, and not a grey hair is yet visible, after an early breakfast, took a stnd,and meeting a colored man and here is the strange part, where were the Uni ted States Marshals all this time-lie met this colored man, one of a class of citizens for whose welfare and happiness the govern ment has almost made a portion of the people bankrupt, and stopped him on the highway, and proceeded to-oh for strength and abil ity to go on with this tale. The white man had money and the darkey none, but he had that which he prized as much, three little chickens, and he was persuaded to part with them. And this is what we saw, this old whi:e citizen, with these little unfledged chicks going towards home, his hungry ap petite callous to their tender cries. It was cruel. Those were the first which have been brought in. We understand that foul mur der was committed on these innocents, and that the citizen who did the deed shows no compunction of conscience, and is still at large. General News Items. Over $90,000 worth of horses have been bought in Fayetteville since the 12th of December. It is ieported that there are seventy-five counties in Texas in which there is not a single Sunday school.

A man in New York recently bled to death after having five teeth extracted. Every effort was made to stop the bleeding of the gums, but proved fruitless, and the patient gradually died from exhaustion. No matn ever gets his money's worth out of a newspaper unless he reads the adver tisintg columns at tenttively.

In Tahiti society is divided into sects, the white merchants and shopkeepers who have fair faceed wives, and half-castes and their friends The former have been chiistened the mean whites, and the latter thc dirty browns.

"The Life of the Flesh is the Blood." This being the fact, it is very obvious that when the blood becomes. corrupted the whole system becomes corrupted also. To relieve this, the true policy undoubtedly is to direct the remedy to the, source of the disease. It is in this manner that Dr. Tatt'e Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight acts. Its specific effect is on the blood; it purifies it, vitalizes it, and expels all distemper from the system. Being free from violent Minerals, it is adapted to general use. The old and young may use it; the most delicate female, at any time, may take it; the weak and enfeebled will be strengthened by it; the tender infant, who may have inherited disease, will be cured by it. For Syphilis, and all its trains of evils, it is a sure antidote.
