Flower Thoughts and Fancies. Somebody says that flowers are the "fugitive poetry of nature;" and tc wild flowers most eminently belongs the remark. Our cultivated flowers can not be called "fugitive poetry,' we do not find them scattered along the roadsides, smiling to the brooks nodding on hills to every breeze. Not they ! They are collected -and placed in our houses and conser vatories, labeled, and surrounded by the costly aceessories which belong tc all volumes of collected poetry. But with wild flowers it is differ ent. We come upon them, indeed. as upon scraps of poetry tucked into the corner of some newspa per of every-day life, and in the one case as in the other, exclaim in a sort of patronizing surprise: Why, how pretty that is !" -One can not, however, he very well acquainted with the woodlands, with out quickly losing any feeling of pa. tronage he may once have had. There are so many dainty wild blos soms to harmonize with any mood in which they may be approached, be held, or gathered. We find all sorts of poetry speaking from them ; palest of blue hare-bells, which sulggest a dainty poem, full of tenderness without strong passion, which, indeed, they, as well as people, are better without. Then there are vio lets, blue and white and yellow, like little ballads, tales of unconscious hero ines ; gill-cver-the-ground, immediate. ly reminding one of scores of verses he has seen in the.neglected corner of some country paper; with blue bits of prettiness scattered here and there. but so smnall that one doesn't care foi the trouble of hunting them out; and besides, like ti- ose scraps of verse, there is so much of it that it can be had at any time. But flowers, also, tell us othei things; they are vivid reminders of peo pIe we have known, of faces we havt seen, hearts we havh~ learned to lov( and trust. Who can ever see a valley-lily without a feelingr of tender greeting or (to go from the pretty to the ab surd) who can look at one of those saucy Jack-in-the-pulpits, peeping ui out of its ereen sheath, and not ex ect it to'speak, and in an oration as ong as a country minister's, tell of its relationship to the regal calla ? Poo2 relatious, truly ! How indignant the calla wopld be ! Then there are the lovely blossoim f the spring-beauty, at which' one feels as much surprise as at finding a Perdita in a shepherd's cottage. The flowers of the mnullein are like f:nilies in a tenement house, pretty enough iodividually, but collectively well, they'd be rather unpleasant uests. to say the least of it. Antumn ilowers are like stories of the tropics. Their very names are sug gestiv e-golden-red, flaing-pinxter. trumpet-flowerms. And water-lilies I what shall we say of them ? Lovely, tearful Un dies, gifted with souls through un avoidable wretchedness. And, by the way what a beautiful allegory that is, andi alas ! how true to life. But if water-lilies have souls, wood land vines certainly have no con science.

Lov in-idleness, heartse.se, 'thoughts, certainly there never was a flow with so many pet names.

It is tr that Governor Chamberlain is a u tive of Massachusetts, and that I was not elected governor of Sou Carolina by the votes of the natur leaders of that State; but his own go qualities and the longing of Sou Carolina for good government ha united to make him a respected mag trate and a conspicuous figure American politics. We rejoice tb he came here to express the hearty ai cordial feelings of South Carolina i the anni7ersary of Lexington and Co cord. He did well to point out ai emphasize the fraternal spirit whi animated Massachusetts and Sou Carolina a hundred years ago. Th were inspired by one spirit of patri( ism, and South Carolina felt the blo that were aimed at Massachusetts keenly as though she herself had i ceived them. As we have recent pointed out, the people of these colo ies were very much alike in the fideli to their own rights and their quic ness to resent wrong. And it w that same spirit that made South Cai lina foremost in the late unhappy cc flict. Let us remember that politi< issues arise and pass away, while th spirit that achieves and deserves fre dom and national independence is o that cannot be too highly prized too vigilantly guarded. South Cai lila is fortunate in having such a gc ernor as Governor Chamberlain weed out corruption and bring bi overnment back to honesty and ecor ny.

A terrific tornado passed over Col umbla between 5 and 6 o'clock on Y- Saturday afternoon last, by which im mense damage was done to property, the full extent of which is not yet st ascertained. It pursued an easterly r course, and lasted half an hour. With the furious wind there was an immeuse fall of rain, with much hail, lightning o- 1 and thunder. The sky-light of the i- market was blown off and market pro es duce scattered in every direction ; the In steeple of the Presbyterian Church h was demolisbed, and timbers driven ie through the ceiling; a portion of the a- roof of Mr. J. H. Kinard's house was e blown in ; the roof of the carriage shop corner of Washington and Assembly )d streets was carried off, and the walls h broken; the handsome Iron Palmetto e Tree in front of the State House de j stroyed, and a portion of the roof of at the State House torn off. An enum id eration, however, of the nany build >n ings damaged would occupy too much n' space, and we only add that the effects of the storm were of a fearful and th destructive character, but fortunately ay there was no loss of life. VS Good Advice. as When it seemed certain that the jury in the News and Courier libel ne ase could not agree, and after it was ty determined to discharge them, Judge k- Reed said "that if they felt confident s that they could not come to an agree ment they would now be discharged. al Before discharging them, however, he at would like to recount to* them an e- incident of a jury trial that happened asome years ago in Georgia. It was a rtrial for murder, in which the jury ~failed to agree upon a verdict. They to were sent back to their room by the er court, but still there was no agreement. The panel was then questioned as to d the difficulty, and it was ascertained r that eleven of the jury were for ac en quittal and one for conviction. On as being questioned as to his persistence, lethe solitary juror for conviction de d,' elared that he had never met eleve: m such contrary men in. his life. Gen s. tlemen, said Judge Reed, I repeat er this anecdote, because it has been - rumored that there is one man on your so jury who is hanging your pane). This it is the rumor all over the streets. If re it is the fact it must come out ; you il are not sworn to secrecy. You have all sworn that you had not made up your minds and were not conscious of any bias or prejudice. If it is shown that any one man on that panel has been tampered with, or went into that lR box with his mind miade up, I shall ITsee that he is made an example of to a- all others, to show that they can't go into a jury box in this county with their minds made up without being e dealt with as they deserve. My en deavor has been and shall be to purify as the jury .box in my circuit, so far as I e am able, and to administer the law ewith justice and fairness to all." Lr The Edgefield Advertiser' says: ci"The grandest and most liberal private is entertainment which Edgefield has in seen since the war was given by Miss *n Lizzie Hollingsworth at her father's hbeautiful home, "Wildwood," two and a half miles from town, on Thursday ee night last. Upwards of two hundred id invitations were issued, and the young :is and gay were out en masse- a merry, O laughing, quaffin g, handsome, well idd'dressed crew. Mrs. and Miss Hol n- lingsworth arc ladies of very cultivated 2e taste, and consequently no one was e surprised to see beautiful harmony in all the elaborate decorations, arrange er ments and surroundings. The supper dwas literally worthy of the salle of e the Princess Metternich in Paris ; and hb the occasion was so particularly rose colored throughout as to impress itself ?, for long years to come upon the minds ul of our jeunesse doree." s The Adt'ertiser says truly that the s' ladies mentioned are of very cultivated . t.aste, and knowing them as wve do, we id are satisfied that the entertainment i-- was an elegant one, and a pleasant one r-to be at. sThe arrest of Niles G.

The Right Sentiment. At the memorial ceremonies cele brated in Augusta on the 26th, th< following healthy and happy sentimen was uttered by Gen. Evans. It wil find an echo in the heart of all tri men: "Let us do nothing to keep aliv the passions of the war. To stud, its lessons is prudence, to profit by it teaching is wisdom, but to stir up th old animosities is madness. Th voice of this monument will not b for war but for peace. It will sal to us, the Confederacy has expired its great life went out on the pu ple tide of blood that flowed froi the hearts of its sons.

More new gi-ound ha been put under fence, more new fen< Mg made. more farm improvement and more industry displayed,-than wa ever witnessed in our State in any on year previous to this." The libel case in Charleston ende in a disagreement of the jury. Eleve were for acquittal and one for convi< tion. The failure to convict is cot sidered equivalent to an acquittal, an the News and Courier, as we ha hoped, suffers no pecuniary loss by tb attempt of Bowen and others.

The subjects of health and dise:ase-ho to preserve the one and prevent the oth< -are of paramount importance to every il dividal. A thorough knowledge of the co: ditions to be observed in the physical deve opment of man-the avoidan.ce of those e' practices that generate much of the misei to which humanity is heir,and the fuillmel of those duties required for the preservatic of those wonderful health-trusts consigned man by his Creator-should form the bas of a rational education. The American mix is active, It has given us books of fictic for the sentimentalist, learned books for ti scholar and professional student, but fe books for the people. A book for the pel pIe must relate to a subject of universal il terest. Such a subject is the physical mal and such a book "TnE PEOPLE'S COMM.: SEs MEDIcAL ADvisEE," a copy of whic has been recently laid on our table. Ti high professional attainments of its Author Dr. RI. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., and il advantages derived by him from an extensi' practice, would alone insure for his work cordial reception. But these are not il merits for which it claims our attention. Ti Author is a man of the people. Hie symnp. hizes with them in all their eff'orts and a tainments. He perceives their want-a know ledge of themselves-and believing that a truth should be made as universal as God own sunlight, from his fund of learning ax experience he has produced a work in whic he gives them the benefit of his labors.I it he considers man in every phase of his e: istence, from the moment he emerges "froi a rayless atom, too diminutive for the sigh until he gradually evolves to the maturity< those Conscious Powers, the exercise < wJaich furnishes subjective evidence of 01 immortality." Proceeding upon the theoi that every fact of mind has a physical anti cedent, he has given an admirable treati: on Cerebral Physiology, and shows the.beat ings of the facts thus established upon ind vidual and social welfare. The Author b ieves with Spencer, that "as vigorous heak and its accompanying high spirits are large elements of happiness than any other thins whatever, the teaching howv to maintain ther is a teaching that yields to no other wha ever," and accordingly has introduced . extensive discussion of the methods by whic we may preserve the integrity of the syster and ofttimes prevent the onset of diseasi Domestic Remedies-their preparation, us< and effects-form a prominent feature of ti work. The hygienic treatment, or nursim of the sick, is an important subject and ri ceivs attention commensurate with its im portance. Nearly all diseases "to which fies is heir" are described, their symptoms an causes explained, and proper domestic trea ment suggested. To reciprocate the man favors bestowed upon him by a generous pu lie the author offers his book at a price (S1.5( little exceeding the cost of publication. 01 readers can obtain this practical and valuabl work by addressing the author.

Can't you let us dress as we - please ? It is one of our chief pleasures, so do let us enjoy it. It is "come out r of those hats," and "just as well be in sa corn sack." Now, that is a nice o place for a lady, isn't it? If you want s to talk about anybody, talk about the s men-they can protect themselves and e we cannot. And mercy knows you can find enough aginst them to both talk and write about. Now do for d pity's sake let us alone, and let us a dress as we like. We don't dress to please the men, we dress to aggravate each other. A LADY. d Now, did anybody ever.? Let them e alone indeed, the proposition is ab e surd. We were brought up in a dif n ferent school altogether. We love the ladies too much for. that, and for that reason would have them dress to please g the gentlemen, which we have always .e believed was one of the chief ends i- aimed at. We do not dispute the k point that they dearly love to aggravate e one another, oh no. The heathen i- Chinee are sufficiently posted to know that, and that it is not done by any ab surdity of costume, but by the bewitch n ing style of their loves of bonnets and y dresses, the fineness of the material, s and the cost of the same, together with the number; these are the daggers -which penetrate the tender points to 0 aggravation. We hold that the primc object is to please the g.entlemen, it is natural; and to do so they should con a tinue to look their prettiest, as in the _wood old days. The gentlemen have been accustomed to look on the ladies -as angels, and no one has "ever sighed -. or sought for change." It won't do, s ladies; by the love we bear for you, in memor~y of the dear past, the hope of the future, we beseech you with tears in our eyes to come out of those turn-up men's hats and those scanty sirts.

DE DEAR HERALD :-'Twas my good for >i tune to attend a three days' meeting at i Bethel Church, in the lower part of this dCounty. It was indeed a meeting long in to be remembered-conducted by Rev. e J. M. Boyd, Pastor, and assisted by his father, Uncle Mark. The Boyd's are too well known in Newberry for me to attempt to describe them here. 5The meeting commenced on Friday, h but it rained nearly all day, so I did not eattend until Saturday and Sunday. e Saturday I was in time to hear some excellent singing by the Bethel Singing e School. This school, under the man agenmen t .f R. H. Jennings, a most t- efficient ceacher, has improved wonder fully in the last year. and is an honor 's to the whole neighborhood. After sing inmg, we had a good sermon from Uncle Marion-of course it was good, who ever heard him pr-each a bad one? We spent t, Saturday afternoon and night at the Parsonage. There were only fourteen r of us there that night, but the "more 7 the merrier." Uncle Mark entertained e us with his old time jokes until dinner -was announced. We saw no servants -. during our stay there, but everything was kept in the most perfect order by r the three young ladies of Mr. Boyd's s house. Thei e is the place for a good Sman to get a good wife. Sunday morn n ing we were at church early, to witness h the Sunday School; and we were not 1 disappointed. 'Tis a large, well-organ - ized school, the best we ever saw in the country. Has nine teachers and sixty g three scholars. Old and young belong B- to the school-some dear little babies 1that can't speak plain, but to hear them h recite their lessons would sulrprise you. We were there in time for roll-call, aind y almost every one answered to their' names. Two or three young men came ~)in after the classes commenced to recite, rbut the extra shine of their boots and( ethe exceeding care in which their heads were combed and cravats tied was a Le sufficient excuse with them for lateness. d After Sunday School, we had a good, ~s old-fashioned sermon from Uncle Mark. After that was Communion, and such a ,Communion-five times was the large i-table filled. Perhaps we should not d mention it just here, but we could not Shelp but notice the hiandsomie silver i Communion service, . present to the y Church from Aunt Penny Jones - Sun 11 day night we had Love Feast, and such a Love Feast-soul-reviving, heart-stir Sring Love Feast.

IEDITOR :-I will now endeavor to fur iish you a very brief account of the exami m,;nn of Bethel Academy near this place, 'eginning Monday, April 19th, and closinp Wednesday, 21st. Monday at 8 o'clock a.m :he exIminarion was opened with prayer by Prof. 1). B. Bushy. Part of the examinins ommittee being present, Prof. Busby pro yeeded to examine the several classes, third ifth, seventh, tenth and thirteenth in sue cession. Commencing with the third. class or Webster's Dictionary. The examination a his class so pleased them that the member )f the committee came to the conclusion tha they themselves had learned something. ext the fifth, and then the seventh classei nderwent a very rigid course ot questioning Late and last in the evening we heard "tentl lass" echo from the doors of the Academy Soon this class assumed its seat before th committee. Greek Grammar and readin were the studies on which it had to be ques tioned. The members of the class answere< well, considering that they were questione< Dn the greater part of Bullion's English, a: well as considerable portions of Kendrick' Greek Grammar. On Tuesday, at 8 o'clock the examination was opened as usual witl prayer by Prof. Busby. The members dic themselves justice, considering the limite review they had. This day ended like th< irst, with a very small attendance. The onli amusement the students seemed to enjo! Monday and Tuesday was the delightfu ame of croquet, played by the members o the tenth and thirteenth classes at noon. Weduesday was more encouraging, not a being the last, but this was a day of mor, enjoyment to the students, and as the latte part of it was given to them for their exhi bition, was more effectual in drawing al audience. Despite the inclement weathe the crowd assembled within the doors of th, Academy. Afternoon, the Society (Bethel elected as its President, Prof. Busby. J Committee of five to decide the question t be debated by the Society was chosen, con sisting of Messrs. T. W. Holloway, T. T Wicker, J. A. Cannon, J. X. Berly and Davii B. Snber. After comfortably seating the audienci Master Geo. L. DeHihns appeared before il The young orator did himself credit and lei his listeners in an uproar of laughter. The: came Miss Mary Holloway and Master Erne Cannon in succession. "My Mother's Gol, Ring," (dialogue), by. Masters Johnnie Wicb er and Wm. W. Berly was well acted. Mi J. L. Epting was then called upon to occup; the "rostrnm" with his "Midnight Murder. Mr. Epting delivered his piece very well wit the exception that he had not committed th first of it to memory as well as he migh have done. "The Spelling Lesson," dialoga( by Messrs. John F. Hobbs, J. M. Alewin( Misses Chicora F. Holloway and Anna BI Counts, was well acted, especially the chai acter by Miss Holloway, who appeared to b an accomplished actress. Master Lawrenc D. Wicker then spoke his laughable extrac "My Mother's old Flesh Brush." I will d the young orator the justice to say that h spoke well. The dialogues, "Boy, whoi your Father?" by Masters L. D. Wicker arn Ernest Cannon, and the "New Preacher," b Messrs. W. C. Dreher, J. E. Berly, J.]I Hobbs, Win. T. Cannon, Luther Mille'r, an J. L. Epting had ample justice done then and had the desired effect upon the audiene and we were very much delighted with th extracts by Master Charlie DeHihns, Mis Elizabeth M. Counts, and the dialogue b Masters Joseph DeHihns and Jabez G. Car non. As the young orators and lively dis loguists had done their part, the debate the came next in order. Subject-"Is ambitio a blessing or a curse to mankind?" Affirm: tiv-Mssrs. Win. C. Drehmer, John F. Hobbf and Irenius L. Epting. Negative-Messr! J. M. Alewine, John E. Berly and Win. I Cannon. After awaiting the laughter arouse by the speakers and dialoguists to subside the debate was opened by Messrs. W. ( Dreher on the affirmative side of the que! ton. During his twenty minutes speech h showed not only the honors won and th illustrious men ambition has made, but th good of it in every day life. Mr. Dreher the resumed his seat. Mr. .T. M. Alewine the appeared before the audience, with his fiftee minutes speech, in defence of the negative His arguments and most elaborate speec were received with marked attention. M: . F Hobbs was then called upon to speak i behalf of the affirmative. Th is young oratC in a speech of eighteen minutes did the sul ject ample justice. While the other speaker were making use of every day life and ancier literature, he confined himself more partici larly to Ancieut and Molern History. Ever word of his speech was listened to with pel lect silence. Mr. J. E. Berly was then calle upon to defend the negative side of the quel tion. Mr. Berly begged to be excused, as h was not prepared to debate the question Mr. Cannon was then called upon, but begge to be excused as he too was not prepared Mr. J. L. Epting next appeared before th' audience in defence of the affirmative. Ma Epting asked why the others did not defen< their side of the question, and was answere< that they did not have the ambition to ris before such an intelligent audience, whici brought a shout of applause from the spec tators. Then for about a half an hour the members debated each side of the questiota Mr. Alewine made a motion, seconded b; Mr. Dreber, for a decision of the. subjec1 The Committee retired, and on returning. Da J. A. Berly acting as chairman, decided i favor of the affirmative. Thus ended thi pleasant exercises. O3IEGA. THE DEAD HEAD QUESTION. There has lately been a.great deal sai< by the press about dead heads. W< think many of our contemporaries en irely lose sight of the proposition up on which all their remarks on thi ubject should be based, which is What is a dead head ? The answe is a simple- one; he who -obtains through importunity, something fo nothing whether a puff in a newspaper a railroad, or steamboat pass, or theatre, concert or lecture ticket, o any other thing universally paid fo by decent people. Now can editors ~ecause they receive many compli entary tickets and passes, be proper yclyessed with the great army o deadheads-those contemuptibly meat creatures who are ever on thme alert t< get something for nothing ? We uni hesitatingly and most emphatically au swr, No ! and do so on the grounc that every courte~sy shown au editor in the way of tickets and passes, is paid for at least ten times over in th< way of editorial or other advertise mt--advertising which would in th< L)rdinary course of tusiuess, cost tly parties who receive it about twentj timetc the price of the few ticketh they bestow, generally with an air of ~eat liberality and as though they wero conferring a special act upon the ditur, while all the tiume they expect i "ip-top-Uotic." before, and favor. ble coment after their '"show," if 2erchance they run one, or number. ess puffs of "our railroad," or "our ine of steamboats'" if connected with itther of the latter.
