FoR THE HERALD. Very Beautiful ! There is, Messrs. Editors, such a pathetic simplicity about the following little poem we clip from a very old number of the Edgefield "Advertiser" that we feel sure it 'aillcommand the tearful admiration of many mothers and many sisters among the num ber of your readers. As the "Advertiser" well expresses it: "The writer has attempted a most difficult thing in introducing the lisp ings of child-hood into a piece of such ten der reminiscenses. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it would spoil the production, the reader woulul laugh outright. But in this instanece, the thoughts arc so pare, tbe image so lovely, the expressions so exquis ite, that the smile quickly yields to the tear, and we feel that we are in the presence of a true poet." L" A fair girl stood upon a flowery knoll And held within her hand forget-me-nots; And by her side a little baby boy In his third summer, fairer in his bloom Than all the flow'rs around them dew-be sprent, And breathing sweeter incense up to heaven. The little brother's prattle was of "Dod" Who made the flow'rs. His face so innocent Anon upturn'd to gaze upon the sky That then seem'd mirrow d in his gentle eyes; Anon bent downward to behold the flowers Whose moist lips seem'd to kiss his tiny feet, And-smiled his infant smile of love on them. And when his sister kiss'd the flow'rs she held. H is baby thought he vented thus in words: "What makes you tiss the sweet forget-me nats, You tiss 'em 'rause they love you, don't you Margie?" Cold winter passed. Again the girl stood there Upon the selfsame knoll, but all alone. 'Twas early spring; nor yet the flow'rs ap pear'd Save here and there a lone forget-me-not. Sadly she gazed around, while Memory Walked softly where the little boy had been. The birds sang sweet disporting in the sun, And soon the flow'rs would ope their dewy lips, But other eyes than his would gaze on them. As erst forget-me-nots were in her hand; Her thoughts were with her brother,-he in heaven. But when again the flow'rets touch'd her Was it from them a whisper'd voice came forth Thrilling and melting all her soul to tears: "What makes you tiss the sweet forget-me nots, You tiss 'em 'tause they love you, don't you Margie?" (From the New York Herald.] An Obnoxious Appointment. COLTMBIA,May 26.--The announce nent to-day of the appointment of Mr. E. M. Brayton. of Massachusetts, to fill the position of Collector of In ternal Revenue for this State, recently made vacant by the resignation of L. Cass Carpenter, has occasioned some surprise and much disappointment. It was generally believed the appoint ing power inclined to the choice of a native Republican, or, at least, of one less obnoxious to the citizens of the State than Mr. Brayton may be said to be. Ex-Governor R. K. Scott was a prominent candidate, and his claims were earnestly seconded by a large number of influential Democrats, in eluding, it is said, Governor Hampton himself. State Senator John R. Cochran, an Independent in politics and a native of this State, was also strong!y recommended, and, it is said, was supported by Senator Patterson until he annomieced his intention, in the event of his receiving the position, of appointing none but native Demo crats to fill all the subordinate offices in his district. This resol-ve on the part of Mr. Cochran, however, fatal to his prospects, was wisely dEsigned, and calculated to secure ttie popular support for an oficee, which, under the syste. of deputies whieb ha3 prevailed here since the war, has been particu larly offensive to all classes, for reasons nOW tolerably well understood in all quarters. A CARPET-BAG TRIUMPH. I Mr. Brayton cannot command any degrec of such popular countenance for the reason that he is only recog nized as an alien and] an officeholder. His history, so far as known here com mences at Augusta, Ga., where he held the offiee cf Clerk of Court under Governor Bullock's administration, until the overthrow of the Republican party in Georgia, when he removed to this State to represent Aiken County in the Republican State Legis lature. At the close of his term in this capacity he was appointed by C overnor Chamberlain upon the famous Bonanza Commission, and later be came the Republican candidate for Solicitor of a Circuit which did not iuelude his nominal home at Aiken. Disappointed in this mlove he applied for his present position, which was secured for him through the combied influence of ex-Governor C hamnberlain and Mr. Patterson. His appointment over the two rivals above named is accepted here as significant evidence of Mr. Chamberlain's influence with the President. Mr. Chamberlain, who is now here on a farewell visit, has just effected a sale of his fine residence in this city to a brother of Governor Hamptou. THlE EXCURSIONISTS.--The New berry excursionists, numbering about seventy-five persons, arrived here ac cording to schedu.le last Thursday eve ning. The concert giveu uder the auspices of the Newberry Band was quite creditable. Moore's hall pre sented a novel and pleasing sight from the presence of so many strangers. The hop after the cenclusion of the concert was enjoyed by all present, g(te a number of our townsfolk being on the floor. The party left for home at a quarter past 2 A. M., Friday, no doubt pleased with their trip. [Ninety-Six Guaardian.

The Herald is in the highest respect aFam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. The Government vs. Private Contracts. What would be the practical effects of a usury law we are unable to say, or even to conjecture. But we are opposed to governments in terfering in any way to regulate or modify private contracts. If we had never had a homestead law nor a bankrupt law, especially the lat ter, the country would have been better off to-day, and it is the great risk occasioned by these laws that makes interest so high on borrowed money. A person should be allowed to make whatever contracts he chooses, and should then be bound to the very last dollar he owns or ever shall own for the fulfillment of that contract. Big Fire at Union. A fire broke out in Mr. Briggs' store in Union, opposite the hotel, Sunday about 12 o'clock. When first discovered the interior of the store was ablaze. It extended then along the street in a north-easterly direction, sweeping everything in its course including the railroad depot and machine shops. The origin is unknown-supposed to have been from a match thrown into a fireplace upon old paper. The following stores were burn ed: W. iR. Briggs, J. T. Hill & Co,, J. M. Gibbes & Co., G. P. Ja coby, R. F. Briggs, W. E. McNace, Dunn & Co., W. R. Davis, and oth ers. No dwellings injured. Loss $100,000 ; insurance $30,000. The Legislature was called to gether for the specific purpose of levying a tax and making an appro priation. It met the 24th day of April, and the purpose for which it met has not been accomplished yet. There has been entirely too much speechifying. Young orators, fresh from classic halls, must air their elo quence on every occasion, and tlie people "pay the piper." We hope the next Legislature will be com posed of experienced business men who think twice and speak once. The IEllenton case was given to the jury Friday morung, after a fair and dignified charge from Chief Justice Waite. The jury failed to agree, and a mis-trial was ordered, The jury consisted of six whites and six eoi ored-all [Republicans except Geo. W. Williams.

Our Washington Letter. W ASHINGTON, D. C., May 30, 1877. In the revived reports of our new party organization, there is now the same lack of intelligent method as before. The movement thus far has been based ou an idea that by com mercial arrangement between gentle men of more or less notoriety, a foun dation could be laid, and that a new party would arise and rest upon it. Observing men, who watched the rise of the Republican party, will laugh at this. The people accompanied by a a few prominent men made the party before the politicians knew it, and the wavering and twisting of most of the latter class before taking part in the movement was at once painful and amusing. The truth seems to be that there are two ways, and only two, of organ izing a new party, and that one or both of these will be employed now that Mr. Hayes has an opportunity. He has the position of President, and the strength this mere fact gives him is great. He has the offices and will have them four years, and that fact is not to be depised. 'He has the sup port of many honest Republicans who were ready to quit the party if any man supposed to be a mere politician had been its candidate, and of many others who, while they would per sonally prefer a more Radical man, believe the courae of Hayes will strengthen the party. Thus he has the prestige of our highest office ; the spoils and the support of many Repub licans. This way of using the ma chinery given one for the pu,rpose of killing off the donors and then offering it as the price of support of others, has been tried before, and not always without s.epess. This is the way Mr. Hayes can organize a party. The other way is' for some man to seize upon the people in a timie of genr eral discontent, and compel them to follow him. There never was a time more auspicious than this. Trade and industry are depressed. The "1grd times" are all-pervading. The bulk of the .1tepublican party in the South and in parts of the North is at least not kindly disposed towards the Administration. The hour is waiting for the man. TPhe i'are combi.nation of sagacity and boldness which is necessary, with the added vir:.ue of popularity throughout the country, may be 'difficult to ilnd, but I think will appear ere long. In regard to the Brazilian Mission, tendered to and declined by 14og?p, the report now is that a gentleman from Boston, identified with the trade of that country, will receive the ap poit,mert. The .growing importance Iof our commerce with South America, and more particularly with Brazilian cities, and the belief that our trade may be indefinitely extended in that diretin give.s (Teaer importance to the selection of a Mrinister to Brasli than heretofore, and should make the appointment a siubject of carefil con sideration by Presi dent Hayea. Except1 in the case of the French Mission, to which Noyes, of Ohio, is.assigned, no indcation has been given of the citi zens to be hZ~ionore with the higher diplomatic positions, but ther Presidentj has stated that to every place a new .man will be appointed. A ,mmber o'f the Cabinet says the< Presidcnt is entirely satisfied with the condit ion of affairs in South Carolina I and Louisiana. so far as Governors fampton and Nicholls are concerned. I think the conntry will cordially ti agree with the President that these gentlemen have done in every way all they could to merit the confidence of ai good apd patrotic citizens. I see that the question is raized a s to whether the investigation into Cue-t torn House affairs was in the line of c geuine reform, or only a means ofi giving Secretary Shprmap an excuse to turn out friends o.f Senator Conk lig. The answer to this question will t he had only when the removals re- s commended are made. But one oanu imagine the delight of a small and cold blooded man, like Sherman, in infieting such punish ment. The only g thng plearly dewonstrated by the in- y vestigat~oz~ was t~e necessity for simn- r FOR THE HERALD. Broadbrim's New York Letter. No. 20. Phe Sunday-School Celebrations---A Gambler's Strike for Fortune---Remarkable Suicide Stewart's Home for Working-Girls Romance of Southern Life, &c., &c. We have had no lovelier day this eason than that which greeted the Sabbath-school children at their cele bration on Wednesday, the 23d 'of 1lay. For many days previous prayers had been going up from thousands of nxious little hearts that the weather would be fine and the surroundings propitious, and surely the petitions >f these innocents were not unheeded at the throne of grace, for it was im possible for the weather to be more perfect. A pleasant rain came pour ing down the night before which ef fectually sprinkled the streets, and the sun rose bright and clear in an atmosphere perfectly delightful. Ear ly in the day the streets were alive with children all decked in their holi day attire; the costumes were of the gayest and liveliest character,. and a profusion of flowers and colored rib bons lent additional beauty to the scene. The schools were abundantly provided with banners, flags and guer dons, on which were inscribed all sorts of quaint devices and mottoes-"Our Little Lambs," "Papa's Pets," "Mam ma's Joy," "The Lord will take care of us," "Happy Day," and in one miniature division I saw, "Hold the Fort;" 'nd "Ninety and Nine." All Brooklyn was out to see the children march, and thousands came from New York to enjoy the holiday, for, as an eminent preacher said when giving out the notice of the celebra tion, this was St. Children's day. By noon full forty thousand children were gathered in the various avenues and streets prepared to march to the ren dezvous. The main body of Sunday school scholars went to Prospect Park, and a more beautiful spot for a review could not have been selected .in the whole of the United States. A mag nificent lawn of about sixty acres car peted with the softest and greenest of velvety grass, was covered with this miniature army as they filed past in regiments, brigades, and battalions. The sight was at once grand and in spiring ; banners of every hue in the rainbow fluttered in the breeze, stir ring music from a multitude of bands rang out loud and clear, and the chil dren, with bounding hearts and spring ing steps, marched proudly on, wav ing their beautiful little flags and hua aing to their heart?~ content.. While surveying the splendid pa geant, and sharing the joy of the forty thousand little ones who were as happy as the spring birds above their heads, I could not but feel sad to think that there were fifteen hi.ndred little chil dren belonging Co the Universalist and Unitarian Sunday-schools who were dened the privilege of marching in that beautiful procession by the wretched Pharisees of Brooklyn. It is no longer a question of religiou~s difference-it is outside the pale of denominational faith. It exhibits Christian humanity in its most pitiable and despicable aspect to think that a lot of hide-boundl sectirians i this enlightened year of grace, 187'7, should transport us at a singie bound to a sondition of bigotry and intolerance which would have disgraced the world three hundred years ago. I do not nvy the feeling of tese self righteops Suiiday-school' superintendents; per haps they never wcrc children them elves. Xet it is pleasatit tQ remIeVber bhat there was an humble man aivay own in Galilee once, whose sweetest consolation was found among these little ones, and who said, on a mnei rable occasion, "Suffer little children to epmec unto ipe an4l forbid thoru not,-for of such is the Kingdom of Heave." I mentioned in my last week's letter hat a gambler by the name of Lopez bad married a Fifth Avenue heiress. ie returned to ller father's house ifter the marriage and learning Lopez's ;rue character, her father is trying to saye he my~riage annulled. This week Lopez sued out a writ of habeas ,orpus to get possession of the girl he came into court, refused to have oything to do with him, and the udge eumde her to the custody of er father. Brooklyn has furnished us with an >thler first-class sensation. On Tues lay asp a jeweler, by the name of stenmacher iguarreled with his wife Lbout some trifling matter. She was woman of violent and uncontrollable emper, and in a fit of passion she ci4 a dose of gyanide of potassium od killed herself. On Wednesday. dr. Stenmacher made his will and vrote a long letter to his son an. iouncig his determication to die; he hen dresse4 bimyelf in his best lothes, laid calmly down beside his Lead wife and blew his brains out. 13 real and personal property amount g to about twenty five or thirty housand 40lae h6 left to his son, tating in his last letter that he was nae to bear the disgrace of his ~ifes suicide. - The Stewart institution for working irs, after laying idle for three or four ears, is now going to be finished. It all looas if Mr ewart's money which he succeeded in accumulatiung he may eventually get a monument that posterity would feel justified it remembering. Among the pleasant alleys and lane, of Central Park on any bright sunn3 afternoon may be seen a venerable white haired man led by a pale bul sweet-faced girl. Every spring and fall you can meet them, along by thE main drive, or sitting in the mall, o perchance down by the lake, a littlE rustic seat under a spreading oak be. ing one of their favorite resorts. I is five years since I met them first but during that time I have encoun tered themi every season. At first] was strucc with his long, venerabl< beard and the silvery whiteness of hi! hair, and it was some time before suspected that he was entirely blind for his eyes wefe always open. On< afternoon, while sitting down by the lake, he passed leaning on the arm o1 his faithful attendant. A gentlemat was sitting by me to whom I made passing remark on the venerable ap pearance of the old man, and the stranger asked me if I knew him ; ] replied that I did not. Said he, forty years ago that old man was one of th< foremost merchants of the city o1 New Orleans. He had inherited t large fortune from his father, whc was long the head of one of oui staunchest mercantile houses. HIE traveled in Europe, formed new mer cantile alliances, and on the death o: his father he became the head of the house. While abroad, be met, in the 'city of Bordeaux, the daughter o: Mons. S., one of the great wine mer chants of that city. He proposed was accepted, and after a delightfu sojourn of two months he bore hii beautiful bride to the Crescent City One child was born to them, a daugh ter, and for years their house was the center of that lavish and splendii hospitality for which the South wa: so famous forty years ago. Busines: called our friend to Europe, and hE left his house and wife in charge o1 his partner, a man whom he hai known from boyhood. Communica tion in those days was not as rapid a it is now, and his journey occupied about five months. When he re turned, his wife had fled, and witl her his faithless partner. * Then com. menced the weary search, running through long and bitter years. Al one time he heard of them in Souti America, at another in Australia, al others in the various capitals of Eu rope. At last, one evening. in the autumn of 1841, he found himself it the little village of Chamouni, whici nestles at the foot of Mont Blaoe The next day he started to asveni the mountain accompanied by guide, and turning a sharp point o rock was brought face to face witi the heartless destroyer of his home, Like a tiger he bounded on him; the path was narrow arid the precipicE terrible, but he never stopped to thin! of that; the/struggle was brief, and locked in the death grip they hott rolled over the precipice together. The guide was horror-struck ; as soot as be could summon assistance he de scended into the valley below, to find one of the contestants dead and the other barely alive. They took hini i;p tcnderly and bore himi to the vil age, where lhe lingered between life and death for months. At last hi recovered, but his sight was gone for ever. He returned to his native land but not to the city of his desolation His daughter died some years ago leaving this girl, who is now the old man's only companion. He nevei speaks to any one but his guide, hi~ tionghts seem ever bent upon the terrible experience of the past, and calmly and hopefully he awaits the time when, with her sins washed away, purified and redeemeod, lhe shall rgeet her he once loved so well on the other side of the river.

We had the pleasure of meeting a goodly number of your handsome gen tlemen and pretty ladies from town : Two lawyers, one cotton buyer, Clerk F of Court, one dentist, one M. D., and six young ladies. One of the afore mentioned gentlemen manifested such a decided preference for spring chick en, that those unacquainted with him were very much surprised on learning that he was not a Methodist preacher. Another, a handsome young fellow, didn't take kindly to spring chickens -indeed the elegant dinner had no attractions for him. According to the opinion of a fair companion, of con siderable experience in matters of that kind, he was laboring under an affec tion of the heart.

So different here from what it is in South Carolina; your farmers may work bard all the year, and then make nothing-yes, come out in debt. Here the farmers can work with a will, be cause they are sure to have their hearts made glad by bountiful crops. This yea grasshoppers have made their appearance in different parts of the State, and have for the first time done some little damage in local ities, but I think the damage amounts to but very little; anyway crops of all kinds are looking fine. This section of country is blessed with good water, good health and pleasant breezes all through the sum mer. If there are any of my old friends who intend leaving South Carolina in search of a better country, direct them to this as the country for which they are looking. Mr. H. C. Wiskeman and Cal. W. S. Chalmers are with us on the plantation-both wish to be remembered to you. We are glad to know that old South Carolina has come out from under carpet-bag rule, and has once again a Governor of whom she may well be proud. Respectfully, JOHN E. WEBB. .iew A .2 71iscellaneous.
