[From the Home Journal.] Requiem. BY JOHN A. CHAPMAN. They say the child is dead; how still he lies! Ease comes at last to that lonTg-snffering breast; A balmy-sleep seals his deep-dreaming eyes; He's passing, ising to the Land of Rlest. Ab, sball we say that this i6 not the best? Sure, Heaven is better far than earth can be; He, bappy child, will wake among the blest, Where pain comes not, where he can only see Pure splendor, peace and joy, and heaven eternally. Dear mother-heart! Thou lovest him passing But One loves him and thee, One better And wiser far than any tongue can tell; Does He not know? He builds each flow -raad star, Heles in everything; and though there are Dark clouds sometimes, that hide Him fom our eyes, Yet noq;ht in all this universe can mar The perfect splendor of those cloudless skies To which your angel-child in God's good time shall rise. Trust I&A; the gentle Shepherd of the sheep Will-bear him to green pastures far away; And he will wake from his deep-dreaming sleep Beneath the Tree of Life. The winds that play About hm where he lies, the ligh t of day -That fashes from the river as it flows, Are winds and light of heaven. 'Tis always 'May --In that celestial Land; each breeze that blows Bears on its wings a balm, a solace for all woes. And you will meet your fair immortal child In thatbright Land of Beauty and of May; Where, like a star, pure, perfect, undefiled, He'Lshine while endless ages pass away, Untouched by Time or any slow decay, Untouched by any evil, grief or pain, The chld you love, the child of Light and Tour baby-boy, pressed to your heart again Q then indeed you'll know God took him not in vain. South Carolina. Brief Mentions. Out of eighty-four murderers in -Boston, and its immediate vicinity, durin -the past eighteen years, only two have been hanged. The--Nw Haven Register says the insted pin factory turns out nearly amillion pins per day, thirty-six millions per week, or about a pin for eaeb man, woman and child in the n Tited States. Now then, "what be cmes of all the pins ?" The Beecher case has been a Big Faanza ta the lawyers. Mr. Evarts oeeived $25,000, Mr. Tracy $10,000, Mr Hill $5,000, Mr. Beach $3,000, 6"MFllerton $2,500, Mr. Morris $2. -0O and Mr. Pryor $2,500. Mr. Shernan refused to accept money for Is-services, .Feathers are shooting out all over the toilettes, the fashion gossips say. Feather fans, feather parasols and feather hits are all the go. Feather -triminings are now arranged with so much iightness and beauty, that they are considered as suitable for summer as winter wear. They are mounted as fringe as well as bands, though it is snabands they are used for the trim ramgIin of bonnets and parasols. The Savannah Advei ser, says: 'We were informed by an old planter, *bico had just returned from a visit to several of the rice plantations con tiguous to Savannah, that the high Jand rice is suffering terribly from drought. From what he has seen, and facts obtained from these in a po sition to. know, with whom he cou versed, the gent al idea prevails that not more than an average crop will be made, i,at in value the increased pro duact in good cereals, it is thought, will fully counterbalance any appre kended loss that may be sustained by the poorer qualities." The latest demonstration of the Ply nouth biren was a "surprise party" at Peekskill on Thursday. The whole crowd, trustees, deacons, Sunday school -tcehers. choir, and so on, to the num eir of four hundred, went up the river -on a special steamer, with a brass band and other accompaniments, and, land. - o -ag at Peekskill, marehed. to the be. loved pastor's home. Although it a complete surprise, the town was decked with flags and the whole par ty was handsomeiy entertained. -Speeches were made an~d tears were -.wept in torrents, and the meeting broke up with three cheers fcr Beech '. er and the whole ticket. In Chester they have a very uniquc way of rebuking a man for allowing kis crop to get "-in the grass." When. ever the neighbors see a field in that condition they go at night and erect a Iong pole at the fence, with a striped fiagc nailed to it and beneath the flag a board is placed with '-Gen. Green is elected here," or "Maij. Green is the bighiest candidnte here," and many oether such devices to notify the passers. '-by of the condition. Some get angry at it, but the wise go to work and clean Gout the cerop. After that is accom. Aliushed, we would suggest th'e device be changed to "Gen. Green defeated --by Capt: Work."- Union Ti,ne.. -THE LATEST AG;oNY.--This is l,ow a victim says it feels : "'Take a man and pin three or four large table cloths ;. about him, fastened back with elastic *and looped up with ribbons ; draig alJ his own long hair to the midd of his h 'ead anid tie it tight, and hairpin cn about five pounds~of other hair and a big bow of ribbon.

AN APPEAL TO TH1E COLORED RACE TO LEARN TO STAND ALONE-TiE FRAUDULENT NATURE OF THE! FREEDMAN'S BANK. During a speech at a Fourth of .July celebration at Hillside, near Washington, Frederick Douglass al luded to the condition of the colored race and said: All we ask is a fair field to work in, and the white man to leave us alone. We have been injured more than we have been helped by men who have professed to be our friends. They are lawyers without clients, broken-down ministers without churches, wander ing teachers without schools. They are great begiars. They have the gift of begging down to a nicety. They are great at getting out circulars. They scatter them broadcast over the land as leaves before autumnal gales. If you are worth anything, they will find out where y(u live, and if you never got a letter before you will get one now. Fellow-citizens, we must stop these men from begging for us. They misrepresent us and cause the country to look upon us as a poor and helpless Deople. They say, "Please give some thing to help to educate the poor black people, but do I pray pay it to me." And if it is a hundred dollars, it is reduced to about a hundred cents when it gets to the "poor black people." We do not want, we will not have these second-rate men begging for us. We protest against it. Referring to the Freedman's Savings Bank, he said : We have had a Freed man's Savings institute; but we.don't want any niore. Our white friends told us that if we had cents to bring them to theni,aud they would take care of them; and if we had dollars, or hundreds, or thousands, also to bring them. They told us they had a goos and a golden egg. Yes, we put our millions there, but where are they now ? The men who wert into that bank, a few years ago, poor men, are now domiciled in beautiful homes, and now drive their fine turn-outs. It makes me feel badly to think how we have been robbed. Just enough honest men have been put into the bank to insure its success. But while they put in two sound apples. they slipped in five or six specked ones, and they. were sure to turn the specks down. Hie urged the colored people to stop begging for themselves, and if they built churches, not to ask the white people to pay for them ; if they have banks, colleges, and papers, not to ask other people to support them, but be independent. In concluding he said: "We propose to cut loose from all invidious class institutions, and to part company with all those wandering a'endicauts, who have followed simply for paltry gain ; and we now bid an affectionate farewell to all these plun derers, and in the future, if we need a Moses, we will find him in our own tribes." HONESTY IS THLE BEST POtICY. -The Winnsboro' Neres says that Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, in a public ad.. dress delivered at Winnsboro', said: "The enormous percentage will ruin "any man, and he who is compelled to "give one ot these liens has gotten so "low down that he might as well run "his cotton off when gathered." We sincerely hope that Col. Aiken has been misunderstood, or that he attached some special and uuusual meaning to his words. Their common and accepted meianinig is that a farmer who has borrowed money, on the security of his erop, is justified in running the crop off to evade payment of the debt. This operation is usually called swindling, and is not the sort of advice the public expect from the Master o1 the State Grange, who is also an officer of high rank in the National Grange. It is probably true that farmers sometimes pay a higher rate of interest than is prudent; but they seek the money, the money does not seek them, and their failure to comply with their obligations injures net only their own credit, but that of their neighbors. The statutes provide a quick way of reaching a crop, itf any attempt be made to defeat the lien upon it ; but infinite harm will be done if any speaker be allowed, without rebuke, to, advise farmers that they are justified,I under any circumstances, in endeavor ing to avoid complying with the terms of their bargain. Such conduct would prevent many farmers from getting money at all, cause a higher rate than the present to be charged those who do get mvney, and would give South Carolina a bad uamae throughout the Republic. IIoniesty is th~e best policy! ! (Newcs and Courier. MR. Ml3J3IJNGER 'S UEWS ON TIHE SPARTANBURG & ASH1EVILLE RAIL RoA.-We had the ple.asurie of meet inu on the cars, last Saturday, iou. C.'G.

The suit against the ex-Treasurer for the trifling sum of half a million of dol- s lars, which. he is accused of havingspir ited away, is still in progress. The i tate is represented by the Attorney- r 3eneral, and Mr. Rion, of Winnsboro, o -he Defendant by Messrs. Youmans, d Eloge and C. D. Melton, of Coltmbia. There must be a good deal to be said t pro and con, at least in the opinion of be lawyers, as each has spoken at least ive hours. The result of the trial is looked for with great interest. t At a late hour, last night, the jury e brought in a verdict of $75,000 for the e tate. Mr. Youmans gave notice of an ppeal for a new trial. Courts and Juries. A late criminal case tried in.the r essions at this place suggests the fol- C lowiug remarks: After the Judge's r harge the jury were shut up in a v small, hot, ill-ventilated room, filled 1 with offensive odors. from before sup per until 10 o'clock next morning. s without anything to eat and without I 'he shadow of comfort in the way of rest. Nothing was allowed them but r water and light. We do not complain f the Judge; he only in his instruc-- t ion to the constable, acted in con- e ority with ancient usage. This a incient usage, however, is a remnaut 4 >f barbarism, and it is high time it be swept out of existence. The juror has in unpleasant duty to perform, and r why it should be made more disagree- e Jile than necessary, we cannot imagine. [t looks almost as if we desired to e punish him instead of the criminal. o Does it strengthen his memory to starve him,? Does it enlighten his judgment te make him lie on the'hard loor ? Does an empty stomach stir up< his conscience and sore bones enliven( his love of justice ? Do exhausted .1 nerves increase his powers of calcula tion, and does an irritated temper pro mote the chances of agreement ? Shall( the stomiach of an ostrich and the skin of a rhinoceros force the weak of body] and tender of limb into a verdict against their sense of justice ? No, Let the jury be made comfortable ; let them be placed in a condition where they can unrestrained exercise the pow ers of mind needed. Let them have their ( regular meals at meal time. if theret be no prospect of a speedy agreement, and let them have such conveniences for rest as may be procured. Let them remain together comfortably until theyt are convinced that no agreement can be had, let them say so, and let thet Judge simply or4er an entry of mis trial. The practice now is to instruct one juror not to answer to his name when he is called, and then declare it a mistrial under the supposition that but eleven men had been la the jury room. This may be the technical way of declaring a mistrial, but it hardly coports with the dignity of the court. If we were a juror under such instructions we could hardly be in duced to co?ifess by our silence that we had been derelict in our duty or that we had by some process of magic escaped from the custody of the con stable and transported into the realms of Oberon; especially as at such moments the Judge and Sheriff and Clerk of the Courit, and all the lawyers generally, look at poor No. 12 with intesity, to impress most forcibly upon him his real genuine substantive presence.1 Let us do away with these remnants of feudal barbarism - and technical sophistry by legislative enactment, if it cannot be done in any other way. As to the manner of bringing about the change we can offer no suggestions, that's for the lawyers to say. The International Rifle Match. We are a Christian people-so call od ; we dwell with p)articular unction upon the spreadl of Christian civiliza tion ;it has been dinned into our ears for the last 1800 years that Christ's is a Kingdom of peace and we take weekly collections to send this message to the heathen. Open your books and there you will find history to be but a string of battles from Babylon to Sedan. For th~ la~ 49 years the whole of' Europe1 has been but a huge 1;a'gksmnith shop1 to forge arass of death and destruction Science is exhausting itself to 'devise mens for lIilitg tester; they have becoi hamering aind driing to change the steel and flint into the piercussion ; the percussion into the needle gun and h.spt;toe noteMue and Snideand theer ind t eache sande nfe prores they habn atrying sthie (ifnmrogesenthey avltte bwar tosn he ~nIDr(Jvcment* by a little war tosco how V ~i.

Our neighbor of the P)rogressive aade a very happy mistake the other ay in reference to the above subject. t had been just flished across by able that Gladstone had written an rticle in the July number of the otemporary, and had come to the onclusion that the Church of England ras worth preserving. The types of ur neighbor announced to us that lladstonec thought the Church of %ngland w-is not worth preserving. Se side with the types as to the rorthiness of preservation, whatever lladstone may have said. We are ecidedly of opinion that the Church 'stablishmenit does not deserve pre rvation and is nowv near its dissolu ion. We, of course, have no refer ince to the Episcopal Church as one if the Christian denominations, but >f the State Establishment. But )ladstone himself shall explain as to hat matter. In one and the same bodly, we see w'o asp)ects, two characters, perfectly listinet. That body dleclares herself and s suipposed1 by the law of the country o he the ancient and Catholic Church >f the country, while it is also the Na onal estahlishmnent of religion. In he first cap)acity', it derives its lineage end commission from our Savior and he Apostles; in the second, it is offi -ered and controlled by the State. We nav speak of holding the Church to ether, or of holding the Church and he State together. I am far from >lacing the two duties on the same ~round, or assigning to them at common levation. Nothing has convinced us more of he necessity of Disestablishment he separation of Church and State han the labored effort of Gladstone o prove the contrary. The ceremonial tself and the judicial 'decisions have >th descended to the merest childish ess of formality and casuistic hair plitting. Listen to Gladstone and judge for ourselves: B~y some mental process, which it eemns diflicult for an unbiased under tanding to comprehend, a controversy vhich may almost be called furious, has >een raised on this matter. It of course ransends-indeedi, it almost scorns he bounds of the narrower question vhethe(r thec one or the other posture is greeabile, or*, as may perhaps better be aid, is more agreeable to the legal pre riptions of the rubrics. For it is held, md held 0on 1both sides by persons not neonsiderable either in weight or numi >er., that if the priest looks eastward at his point of the .service he thereby affrms he d/ocines of the Real Prescence and he Euecharistic Sacrifice; but that if on he contrary he takes his place at 1the Zrth end of the altaror table, lhe thereby mts a negative on those doctrines. J f he truth of this contention be admitted, vithiout doubt the most formidable con equences may then be apprehended rom] any possible issue of the dlebate. t is idle to hope that even judges cn reserve the balance of their minds ven the air comes to be so thickly :barged wvith storm. We may say al nost with certainty that there are many iow reckoned as niembers of the Church >f England. whom, on the one side, the m4irm ation of those pinci pies woulId listract and'might dlisplace, while, on he other, their negation would p)recipl ate a s::hism of an enduring character. As many of ou.r readers no doubt re cox;iderably interested in the mat cr and would like to hear the views f the celebrated stat.esman and con ~rversionalist, we gtive the following )reositions which he annonnees to be he result of his exana~tiop, They ire not very lucid ; they require like bill three readings ; and after you nanage to guess at the meaning hey are not very satisfactory: (which are to a consid3rable extent ex elusive one of the other), the better for the Establishment, and even for the Church. s IV. If litigation is to be continued, 1 and to remain within the bounds of 4afety. it is highly requisite that it shouhl he confined to the repression of a sneh proceedings as really imply Uln faithfulness to the national religion. V. In order that judicial decision on ueremonial may. habitually enjoy the h large mwasure of authority, finality, and respect which attaches in general to the sentences of our courts, it is requisite that they should have uniform regard to the rules and results of full historicaT investigation, and should, if possible, al low to stand over for the future matters insufficiently cleared, rather than le cide theni upon partial and fragmentary evidence. If the great champion of the Es tablishment can show no better ground t for its-continuance we would not be at all surprised to hear of its downfall at ti any moment. i -- - - _ _h Shad, Shad, Shad. cl "Broad River is being stocked with t I'- ti young shad, under the direction of t Prof. Baird, United States Fish Com- t issioner. Eighty thousand were g placed in that stream on Saturday P last." Just think of it. Are we not en- d titled to half a dozen out of the 80.- - 000? Our gutters are tributaries to Broad River by way of the Saluda; r a close calculation makes it seven and a half for every voter of Newberry e County, white and black. Just think i of it, home made shad ; none of your a adulterated importations; shad to the d manor borv, with the flavor of the cavalier under his fBus. His parents t have sent him off to travel into foreign 0 parts; his delicate health requires a sea voyage, as the doctors have advised. f He will be back next Spring, no doubt, P in the bloom of youth and health to see the old lady; but we are afraid r the sheriff will have a warrant against c him for having murdered some small fry on his home passage, and we are apprehensive that he will be condemn. ed to be put to the stake in a frying pan, aud that the Judge will order ine-to eat him. I can almost taste him now. Peace to his bones. Latin on Medals. The Transit of Venus Commission of the United States voted a gold medal to Dr. Henry Draper for labors performed by him preparatory to the1 observation. The inscriptions are ac-1 cording to some fast-fading, foolish custom in Latin. The Commission style themselves "VTeneris in sole spectandce curatores." If the ghost of Cicero does not rap his indignation through the Eddy Brothers we shall loose all faith in spirit manifestations. Dog Latin is no name for it. A Fran iscan monk would blush at it, and the .Epistolx Yir-orumn obscurorum are not within reach of comparison. From the above scrap of La:.in one might possibly conclude that the guar dians of Venus went to the Probate Court while the little Miss was wait ing in the sun-it being a cold day until they had made their returns be fore the Judge ; a transit Commission would enter nobody's head. Cannot ourlearned nmen quit the folly1 of using ridiculous Latin when. they might express their meaning in decent English. Cicero deserved well of his country in his time and day and is entidled to rest.1 We copy the following from the Wilmington Star ; it might be well1 to follow elsewhere the precedent set by Judge McKoy: The jury in the case of the State vs. William Fisher and John Fisher, arraigned for an assault with intent to kill G-. W. Harper. rendered a ver.diet1 of "not guilty" yesterday morning at 7 o'clock as to the defendants, after havingr been out about eighteen hours. When the Court convened at about 9 o'cl'ck A. M., His Honor, Judge McKoy, aft.er hearing what the verdict: was, ordered the Sheriff to call the jury, and on understanding from them what verdict they had rendered, he re-t marked that there never was a plainert case of guilt submitted to a jury for consideration ; that society was not safe or secure when so flagrant a violation of the law was disregarded and the offenders let loose, unwhipt of justice. He ordered that the names of the jury be stricken from the jury list, adding to the injunction that none of them should be allowed to act as jurynmen, either as regular or tales1 jurynmen. He further remarked that the jury were either incompetent to act or were corrupt.1 Official ist of atents Issued by the United States Patent Oficee, for the week ending Saturday, July 10th, 1875.

Until about eleven hi 'clock at night the little negro boys gI mve to run about in gangs and yell to at ake up for the work they didn't do in ot ;he day. They wouldn't be free unless o hey were allowed t:o yell, and block up he side walks. When the boys retire he dogs commence wvhere the boys left >ff.

Well, the dogs corn- us nence their -concert at eleven sharp, b< md keep on until daybreak. If I were a 0 make the tenth part of the fuss, Mr. ditor, I would land in the guardhouse n less than five minutes. But then, P~ gou see, I have never been emanci- Ic ated. At the last election for Town ouncil, the cry was "wvet or dry," next at me it shall be, with your aid, Mr. Edi- ni or, "dog or no dog." There is no use at 'or dogs nohowv, except in Bologna and i sreenville. Let them go there if they st spire to be useful citizens. t Now, Mr. Editor, precisely when the t logs close their concert the chickens omec theirs. The interval is not ong enough to take a lemonade. We ii ire not opposed to chickens, nor do wve H hink you are, Mr. Editor, dead or alive. te We like even their music, but when the 01 ervous system has been strained to its se tmost tension, the bar-k of a grass- if opper will make you jump. As soon tt s the last rooster jumps dowvn from he fene and 'flaps his wings, the boy umbers up the steps to fetch water, and V hen good morning, Mr-. Editor, to sleep r the balance of the daiy. If the law loesn't protect the sleep of a citizen, vel, nervous p)eole will think of vigi- St ane committees. But then, Mr. Edi :or, although 1 am a nerv-ous man, I ti a conscientious man. I have pon- & Ired long and deep) whether I would b' > warranted by the moral law to go d ,o Dr. Fant's and buy an ounce of ft trychnine. I have looked through te aly and Abercromubie and Wayland, ft )ut could fmnd nothing on the subiject. a What little sleep the dogs let mue have v( s spent in the consideration of that b uestion. There is but one way of ti onming to a conclusion. Our D)ebating Y ociety is defunct; there is, however, a ourising one at Pomiaria composed of tI' alented young men. I think they haveb lecided the question whether tlic eye intionl of Mary, Quceen of Scots, was ustifiable to the satisfaction of all the yarties concerned(.

EmTOR HERALD :-The country und Orangeburg was but little )wn to our Low Country residents til the war, when many refugees in below found their way thither, I located themselves there during ise trying times. Many portions are hout doubt very healthy, and I think summer settlements around the [road end of the town, exteiding ae distance, and also the settlements the river road, form a part of a ir of the Sand Iill reaion running -ough Richland, Barnwell and Ker Lw, and much the same character as ridge upon which Aiken lies. [ send you an extract of a letter m a lady sojourning not many miles in the town of Orangeburg :" used myself with recalling the nes of the beautiful wild flowers on ride up in the cars, as I had no a to talk to. Large clusters of the grant "sweet briar," wild sage (sal t lyrata) spread out on the sides, J the beautiful pond lily expanded blossoms over the still and quiet .ter. The "sweet bay," "wild core sis," the very curious "Saracenia." side-saddle flower, the "wild pink," oneysuckle," "scarlet woodbine" nicera), the orange-colored flowers the "Asclepias," or pleurisy root, a little yellow ;-ascynuni," "trumpet wer," (bignonia),the variegated flow of the "Catalpa," chrysanthemum, anthemum. tradescantia, autirrbi m or wild snap dragon. and many ers too numerous to mention lend eir fragrance to the gale, or please e eye, with their bright colors con sting with the deep and varied ades of the forest. "And now that I have arrived at y destination, and looking at the ospect around as I sit writing at my en window, the same thoughts again come uppermost in my mind, and I i filled with the thought that God s indeed scattered these natural auties around us-nature's great par rre is disposed with no niggard hand. ie book of nature is open to all-who a or who will read its beautifal wri gs and teachings. Reaching out y hand, I can nearly touch the nches of a fine lagerstromia nearly full bloom, its clusters of pink, crape te blossoms gently swaying in the ~ht breeze; next are two large wild ange trees, (Cerasus Carolineus;) yond, stand two large and sturdy e oaks (quercus vireas), and beyond e enclosure stretches a field of pro ising cotton (gossypiumn), until re tly looked upon as the King and egulator of Commerce. On the other de, the verdant stalks and long Ian olated leaves of the Zea Maize or dian corn bend to the pas'sing breeze -th the orchard trees, plums, (pru is), peaches, (amygdalis persica), and the garden adjoining, watermelons, ushes, cucumbers, all of the genus tcumis, promise a grrateful tribute to * palate. "Just without the gate grow any iantity of June (or dew) berries, ickleberries, gooseberries and bull 'apes (vitis), ready for making pies d jelly in their turn, and a host of her beautiful flowers and vines, one the prettiest of which is the May pe (passiflora), now in full bloom. "The woods, too, are indeed full of ~tural beauties ; last but not least is e minmosa sensativa or sensitive ant, with its lilac flowers (reminding of the oppoponac in the Fall with ;) and its leaves, all closing fast on ing touched, or at the appearance of storm. I was always devoted to otany, and inflict this on you, not to wish you, but only because I felt nely." The mind attuned to appreciate d love the beauties of Nature is ver at a loss for companionship rong her lovely works; "sees good' everything"-reads "sermons in nes," and "looks up from Nature up Nature's God." And with what autiful things the Great Creator ts garnished this world in which we re ! Is it not another evidence of is goodness to us, that He has scat red and spread such loveliness in Lr path, and bestowed on us the se of appreciating their beauties, we avail ourselves -of the oppor nities to do so. Music, painting, flowers delight us th harmonies of sweet sounds, our sion with the bright contrasts and ac rd of colors, and attune our minds to 'eater purity of thought and delicacy feeling, and enable us the better to ipreciate the refinements of life ard rengthen us for its conflicts.
