Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, whose

as born in WinnL.boro, S. C., in

is uncommon energy and appli
tion accummulated an immense
)rtnne, which was dissipated by
e reverses of war.
Col. Aiken's early training wa,
L Mt. Zion College, under thai
oble teacher J. W. Hudson, where
, a boy, by his industry and hiQ
ianly independence, he gav
rest promise of future usefulness
Le entered the South Carolin
lege in 1845, and graduated
ith distinction in 1848. Foi
)mo years after graduating hc
1Ught s.chool in Winnsboro; loca
3d the Fairfield Berald; spent s
ar in Europe, and on his returr
~ttled down to planting.
A few years before the war
ving married a daughter of Mr
oel Smith, he moved over t<
>beville County, where he has
ssided ever since. Full of enthu
am and patriotism, he entered
artily into the grand contro
ersy of secession, and at th<
rst call for troops, joined the 7t1
gimen~t and was appointed Ad
ant. In the first year of th<
r he made a great reputation ir
rginia, as one of the most effi
at officers in the army.
At the re-organization of the
my ho was elected Colonel ol
e 7th Regiment, and endured al
ials, successes and reverses of
oble South Carolina Regimen1
e the period of another year
util in the battle of Sharpsburg
avember, 1862, in the terrifi<
barges, 'made under Jackson
ainst the right wing of Mc
lellan's army, Col. Aiken fel
hile urging on his men in th<
hickest of the fight, shot througl
e breast.
His comrades managed to re
rove his body from the field t<
hepardstown, where he lay fo
~onths from the effects of hil
ound. His ~friends hardly ex
ected a recovery from such
evere wound, but tbe brave spirr
fthe soldier sustained him udel
affliction which would havy
lled men of less will power.
The condition of Col. Aikeni
Lealth after this reveise, pre
ened him from rejoining his
aegiment, but his spirit was s<
estless, that, as soon as he conl<
novo about, he got an appoint
nent on detached service, whic]
vas commensurate with hi
trength of body, and rendere'
mportant service in the Ordanc
Iepartment until the close of th
After peace was restored he ben
I his energies to build up hi
battered fortune, and -as: a pri
ate citizen -boldly- attacked th
)and of robbers who governe'
ur down trodden State, whbeneve
i opportuntiy presented. On
)ublic occasioni he denounced th'
~adical Randolph in unmeasure<

r,
Hubbard and his minions, hurried ri
h
off to Columbia, and immured in
prison, from which, after a few V
days of cruel confinement he was
released under heavy bond, by
Judge Boozer.
Col. Aiken continued to devote
himself to his plantation ; but his
active mind, ardent temper and a
earnest patriotism could not be
confincd to such narrow limits, s
and he turned his attention to
building up the waste places of
his State. He re-organized Ag
ricultural Societies, established the 0
-Rural Carolinian, wrote and
spoke and talked incessantly to 1
educate our people up to their E
high duties. No man in the State v
has done as much to educate far- l
mers how to improve their farms, b
to raise provisions and stock; to f
educate their children and to a
strive for that independence which f
all noble people should aspire to. V
As an evidence of his success, the Y
farms of South Carolina surpass V
those of any Southern State. Col.
Aiken is still engaged in this 1'
noble undertaking, as the educator A
of the farmers of South Carolina, I
by contributing valuable articles a
weekly, to the News and Courier. t
But Col. Aiken is not a theorist S
only; his individual success vindi- t
cates the truth of his teachings. C
No man in the State raises better S
-stock or bas a finer farm. For a I
number of years he has with his a
own hands sowed his own wheat, V
planted his fruit trees, and en. 5
~gaged in practical improvements ~
on his farm. There are no slug- I
gards on his premises; every t
body works from the oldest to the t
youngest. He impresses on all, g
his own energy, and Leaches by a
his own example, that honest and t
judicious industry will re ap its re- I
ward. The farmers of the State t
owe himi a debt of gratitude they f
can never repay. a
Col. Aiken took an active part i
in the glorions campaign of 1876, r
and was rewarded for his labors y
by election to Congress, from the t
3rd Congressional District. Al- I
ready ho -has made a great name t
in Con gross for his untiring in- 1I
dustry, and his watchful care of e
his constituency. He promptly I:
attends to. all business entrusted r
to him, and labors and toils for t
the State and the whole South. a
He recognizes the fact, that he is r
but a servant of the people, and
he is too conscientious to eat idle I
bread. If earnest attention to his f
duties, kind and considerate con
duct to his constituents, a firm re- j
liance on the constitution, and a i
igrh inteligrence will secure agood i,
and honorable name in Congress, ~
Col. Aiken in a short while will (
attain it. The State in honoring
him will honor itself. e

NO. 24.
c
The early days of autumn re
ind us that the Exhibition is fast c
rawing to i!.s close. Everything
1 the Champ dc Mars is in mid- tj
immer, perfection,-the exhibits b
ere completed long ago, each dis- a
lay is carefully in its place, and I
ie myriad wonders of this in- h
astrial world never shone more t
)nspicuously than they do to day o
ith but two brief months more of t,
life left. Since the first of Sep- t]
.mber the average daily attendance il
as been above one hundred thou-'f(
md. This sudden increase from .
:p
vo thirds of that number is much f]
marked, but it is a part of the o
istory of every international fair d
at as its last days approach, the u
sitors multiply. We had a dry ti
Ad fearfully hot summer; the days t]
-e now cool, and the withering, p
istering heat of the low-roofed h
xhibition halls is changed by an n
r pleasantly fresh and invigora- c
ng. The Parisian, back from the e
a shore and the waters, who up p
) now has been content to read d
is Figaro in the morning for his v
nota of Exhibition news, appears ]
a the scene.
You may pick Paris out as. she p
>iters along in the galleries ad- s
Airing everything finding fault ij
rith nothing, and absolutely sub- v
me in her self-satisfaction and per- a
aps pardonable pride. The scores t
'om the provinces still continue to i
erive. They are warned, like the s
>reigners, that it will not be many I
eeks before this grand Exhibition t
ill be a thing of the past. Those y
rho have been putting off coming in
nd now that to procrastinate o
)nger means to miss the fair. The y
ericans seem to be the only peo <.
le who came early, remained late, s
d who have practically completed c
ieir pilgrimage. The statistics of t
eamship traffic show that some- d
ing like twenty-five thousand t
ossed the ocean during the past v~
immer, from the United States to c
~urope. As for the English there e
e many here now, but compared s
rith the influx of June and early I
immer, only a few. One remarks E
any Austrians and Hungarians.
do not think I have seen more of 1k
uese people here at any one time s
[ian I find to-day. They have a a
ood Court in the Exposition and (
e interesting people, though C
[ioroughly different from the c
arisians, in manner, life and ac- c
ion. To the French they all pass t
r Prussians, or Germans, and we i
l know that our Frenchman has i
ot yet forgotten the little un- t
leanstess that culminated by- t
ell, never mind, we will say, by r
ie establishnient of the third Re- i
ublic. But let us believe that ]
ie wound of Sedan is being a
ealed. The German military offi- i:
ials have accepted an invitation to c
e present at the coming ma- i
ouvres of the French army, and i
ie Frenchmen hav'e accepted a i
milar invitation from the Ger- a
uans.
We had this week, at the Grand '
'estival Hall of the Trocadero, the (
rst of three Russian concerts. The
rincipal performers were Nich. 3
ubinstein, the pianist, and the t
rothers Wienawski, one of whom ~
celebrated the world over as at
reat violinist. The Grand Duke ]
~onstantine attended and was sup (
osed, by his presence, to give '
dat to the occasion. The audience "
ias not large. In this respect the I
Lussian concert wgs quite similar I
the former entertainments given r
the Trocadero Salle des Fetes. '
one have been great successes E
cnancially. The orchestra of the '
filan La Scala, probably the
reatest operatic stage in the a
rorld, made some money. It gave C
s wonderful music. The musical C
ocieties from Turin drew fairly t
ood houses. Their concerts were i
rchestral, similar to the La Scala, t
t not so good. Gilmore's Ameri- x
an band, owing to misfortunes, I
as an absolute failure, and the il
nglish concerts were nearly as I

nd later the Roman musicians1

ent an orchestra here, but it wasi
ot advertised and nobody knew of
;. Even the greqt official French
erformances are poorly attended.
'he first was the most brilliant
fgair I ever saw, but things have
banged since June.
There are some strange ma
ines about the Exhioition. In
enious inventions they are, and to
ae multitudes that saunter the
ours away at the Champ de Mars
most marvels from another world.
a the United States section we
ave Edison's phonograph and the
Aephone now known everywhere,
ur clever little type-writer, and
je marvellous automatic machine
3at takes a length of metal closes:
s jaws on it, and spits out a per
let corkscrew. Yes, Edison's
honograph-I have an English;
-iend who~ calls it "Edison's fraud
f a tangible echo"-works every
ay and amuses the thousands. It
as not thus in the early days of
ie Exhibition. Just the time that
is 'tangible echo" was first dis
layed in the United States section
as slipped my mind, but before,
iany strange remarks were made
Dncerning its whereabouts, as
verybody knew that the sur
rising little instrument was daily
rawing crowds at the Rall in
rhich it was displayed, on the
soulevard des Capucines. The En
lishmen insisted that. it was a
iece of Yankee shrewdness not to
bow the instrument and its work
gs at the Exhibition while crowds
rere flocking to see it in the city,
ad paying two or three francs for
be opportunity. But it came, all
i good time, and still the city
how goes on the same- In the
talian Court there is a curious lit
le box. It is more curious when
on learn that it is a stenographic
ichine. You talk to the girl who
perates it and she records what
ou say after the type-writer fash
i. All is done by sound. I
pent a good fifteen minutes the
ther afternoon talking English to
be operator, who is an Italian, and
oes not speak my language. Al
Br I had finished she repeated
that I had said with tolerable ac
uracy. A type-writer and music
omposer is exhibited in the Rus
ian section. (It is not one of the
~eethoven or even Offendach ge
us.)
Germany has no industrial ex
ibit here. At the last moment
he sent some pictures, which are
dmirably hung. Many think the
rerman hall .is the best arranged
all the halls in the fine arts
Livision. Certain it is that some
f the French are abominably put
ip. The Austria art section is a
Loble one, and worthy of any
riter's best efforts. The choice
hat was made in selection excels
hat of every other nation. The
aantle of art is made to cover a
ultitude of sins (new proverb).
rrance knows it ; and the French
rt departmgnt is spoiled by hay
ag bad pictures hung at the side
f good ones. Putting old wine
nto new bottles was never half so
lisastrous as hanging a nude study
r which there is nothing objection
ble alongside some of the terri
le canvasses that disgrace the
ralls in the French Beaux-Arts,
laiming the same protection.
The exhibition of ho,rses closed
esterday. I have never seen finer
han those displayed. The Russian
reatures were magnificent, of which
en were from the stud of the Grand
)uke Nicholas. The Hungarian
*ntries were also greatly admired.
Lhe Normiandy working horses
vere generally accorded the first
>ace in that class. The English
ilooded stock was thoroughly ad
aiired as it always is and always
nil be, as long as England has
rich a marvellous turf as that of
nhich it boasts to-day.
This letter is like the chronicle of
