A sum in gross hs been appropriated for all the surve,s provided for in the bill, and unless o1, people show an interest in this matter and set forth the great importance the improveim;: f the Broad, the at tention of the chief engineer may be directed to other localities pressiI ,he demands of their localities for immediate attentiun, and thus per chance consume the appropriation t! the exclusion of the Broad. Columbia has no little intere.t i this matter, and so has Lexington. Fairfield and Chester. In view (f this, we would suggest to Mayor Stan by to call a meeting at au early day for the purpose of forwarding through our Representatives in Congress peti tions for the speedy and thorougi survey of the Broad, which is navig: ble with few and inexpensive iu provements to and beyond the Air Line Railroad. Our people shoull not. be remiss in this matter, and we respectfully suggest to our neighbors in the contiguous counties that they should at once move in this matter and.move as one man. ,EDITo. REGISTER A meeting of the planters of Mt. Pleasant, New berry County, was held ou the 'Ist of March, to urge upon our members in Congress the importance of securiu, an appropriation from that body to open Broad River for the uavigation of steamers of light draft. Mr. Ww. H. Ruff was called to the chair and Mr. Munroe Wicker ap pointed secretary. Col. Ellison S. Keitt, by invitation, addressed the meeting in a clear arnd forcible speech, in which he demon strated that the work was eminently practical at a small cost, considering' the immense good results that will flow to the people not only of this section but the entire State. Col. Keitt, at the conclusion of his speech, offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas the opening of Broad River to steamers of light draft will not only greatly facilitate and cbeapen the transportation of our crops of every kind, but will opeu up a stu penduous industry by making available the immense granite beds that line its .banks, and which by actual tests of specimens furnished Gen. James Jones, Superintendent of the State. capitol before the war, was pronounced to be the best, but was unavailable for want of transportation; arnd whereas the opening of Broad River to the navigation of steamers will give us water transportation throughout the heart'of the State from the mountains to the sea : Resolced, That we earnestly re quest our members in Congress to urge the sui-vey of Broad River at the earliest moment, and to spare no 'effort to get an appropriatiou sufficient to remove all obstructions and make it navigable for steamers of ligh tdraft On motion of Cul. Keitt, it was or dered that a copy of' the proceedings of the meeting be sent to THE CoL UMBIA BEGISTER~ and the :Vew8 and Courier. There being no further business, on motion of Mr. Thomas lHutcheson, the meeting adjourned. WXM. H. RUFF, Chairman. IMUNROE \XICKEn, Secretary.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIUGHTH PENSIONER OF FRAUD.-D. T. Cor bin of South Carolina, the defeated contestant for the seat occupied by Senator Butler, was nominated to be (Thief Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah by Hayes to-day. Corbin was given $10,000 by the last Con gress to reimburse him for the ex j enses of his contest. This sum was more than enough to cov-er all the ex penses incurred by him in prosecuting his claim to a seat in the Senate. But Corbin's political services in South Carolina in 187G demanded recognition. Hle helped to manipulate the Canvassing Board of the State in the interest of Hlayes and ex-Gov Chamberlain. Haves was counted in, but Chamberlain,- who had the same right to the office of Governor that i layes had to the oficee of President, was dropped. Three thousand dollars a year of the people's money will be uiven to Corbin as his reward. Cor bin is the 108th pensioner- of fraud. Jno. T. Bean, of Station, Texas, says: --I have sent to LDR.

There died in Baltimore the 4th instant a laldy Whose life has been an eventful one. In 1803 Jeronje Bonaparte, younuest brother of Na poleon, came to this country and fell in love with Miss Elizabeth Pat terson, then eighteen years of age, the daughter of a rich and distin guished merchant of Baltimore. Thev were married December 24th, 1803, by Bishop Carroll, brother of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It was a pure love match. They remained in America till the spring of 1805, when they set sail for Europe and landed at Lisbon. Napoleon, having heard of his brother's marriage without his consent, sent orders to all ports under French authority forbidding the couDle to land. From Lisbon Jerome hurried to Paris to concili ate his imperial brother, directing his wife to proceed by sea to Am sterdam. When the vessel reached Amsterdam she was not permitted to land, and she thence went to Camberwell. near London, England, where her son, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, was born in July, 1806. TI Jerome s intercession with his bro ther was of no avail, and he was for-ced by the Emperor to marry Fredrica Catherine, daughter of the King of Wurtember-g. After the separation at Lisbon, Madame Bo naparte never saw her husband again, except once: they met by chance some years afterward in the Pitti Gallery at Florence, when Jerome's second wife was leaning on his arm. He started back and was heard to remark: "That is my former wife." He left the city the next day. Madame Bonaparte has passed the greater portion of her life in Baltimore, where she died. Her son Jerome has a son who was born in Baltimore in 1832; he graduated at West Point in 1852: resigned his position in the Ameri can army and accepted a commis sion in the French army from Na poleon IHl. He came over fr-om France a few weeks ago, and re mained with his grandmother till she died. Respectability. What is it ? Silks and laces, dia mends and g.old ? Then some of those fallen creatures popularly known as "Cyprian s" are highly re spectable, for their dazzling and costly costumes, purchased with their own honor, rival the ward robes of queens and duchesses. Broadcloth and fine linen, patent ether boots and elegant beavers ? Then some of the vilest scoundrels that w'alk the earth may lay claim to this distinction. These do not con stitute respectability. Neither does noble parentage, nor wealth, nor distinguished family connections. Character-, and that alone, makes one respectable. To be respect-able s to be deserving of respect, and he who dischar-ges the duties of his position to the best of his ability is worthy of respect, wvhether his sta tion in life be denominated high or ow, whether he wields the hammer or the hoe, the plane or the plough, or whether the lines have fallen to im in one of the learned profes sions. An honest man dignifies his position, but no position can give ignity or respectability to a man who is deficient in character. How any are like whited sepulchres, dll beautifali without, but w\ithin illed wih corruption I And how~ any an honest, noble heart beats eneath a rugged exterior. A. rug ~ed exterior is no sign of an honest eart ; neither is a line exterior a sign of the reverse. We cannot udge from outside appearances. M-orth makes the man, the want f it the fellow."

In the debate of the 1st instant on the Army Bill tile passions of party ran hig ti.e House laid aside its digni ty, and the members- pitched into each other in the most approved style of ward politicins. Belford, R., of Colorado, charac terized the Northern Democrats as coward v and treachcrous. and warn;d the South against relying on them ; he said that in 18,q- the Democratic party would retire to the rear. Chaluers. D., of Mississippi. re plied to Garfield's speech of the day before in which he declIared that the Democratic party, 'n re insing to pass the approLriation bills without the amendments, was acting in a revolutionary mlannr ; he denied the statement of Gar fild, that the Southern Democrats in 1861 threatened to shocot t1he Union to death.

The Republi cans say that Hayes will veto the bill. The Democrats are deter mined to repeal also the juror's test oath and the supervisor law. The trial of Rev. T. DeWitt Tal madge. by the Brookiyn Presbyte. ry, for lymng and deceit is still pro gressing, and has developed a great deal of "the old Adam" in the reve rend presbyters. Somne idea of the manner in which the trial has been condu.cted may be inferred from the fact that when on Wednesday last the hymn "How blest the tie that binds" was given out to be sung the audience roared with laughter. Rev. Dr. Spear, counsel for the ac cused minister, thus characterizes the prosecution: "This whole mat ter has its source and seat in the animus of hell. It has been origin ated in the spirit of hell, and pur sued in the spirit of hell." He also said, that before the trial was over there would be more than one man's character assassinated. A bill has been introduced into the Virginia Legislature to make "cowhiding" a felony, punishable1 with imprisonment in the peniten tiary for not less than live nor m~ore than ten years, and a line of not more than 8500.

For several weeks the negroes of Louisiana and all along the Missis sippi River have been drifting in large numbers to Kansas. The farmers of Louisiana have become seriously alarmed, and many of the largest planters have been left with out hands to cultivate their planta tions. The New Orleans Picayune, of March 26, says: "The negroes, like a flock of frightened sheep, or a drove of insane swine, are making head first to the river, and nothing but the most detrmined efforts will prevent the depopulation of the upper country. . . . The col ored churches in St. Louis, have banded to)ether and are furnishing the needed assistance. In this work the local committees are aided by the Anti-Slavery Society of New York." The St. Louis Repluican mys the negroes are coming in by hundreds on nearly every boat, on their way to Kansas, and that the banks of the river are lined with those waiting for passage. It is said that 60.000 negroe are leaving Louisiana for Kausas. Femnale Pedestrians. Eighteen women, ranging in age from 16 to 55. began a six days walking match in Gilmore's Garden, New York, the 27th ultimo, the prizes being: to the winner the champion belt and $1,000, the sec ond best 5300, the third $250. Only five were able to continue to the end. One has died from over exertion, one is in the hospital al most dead, and others are injured for life. The winner, a young wo man, did not appear to have suffer ed any ill effects from the walk. The five who held out made the fol lowing miles in the six days: 372, 352, 336, 300, 292.

A young moan, stylishly dressed, who gave his name as Morgan, was eaught Monday, the 31st ult., in stealing $20,000 of money from the office of President Simonds, Char leston.

Dent was tried in Columbia last week for the murder of Jno. S. W. Harris with a pistol on the night af October 7th, 1878. The jury re turned a verdict of not guilty.

Thne Physical Paradox. It has beeni said that "the blood is he source of life." It is as truly the ource of disease and death. No life. hat is to say, no healthy tissue can eC generated from impure blood, no rgan of the body can normally per orm its functions when supplied with u;pure blood. The fluid that should mrr life and health to evr pairt, -arries only weakness and diseas:e.i Slood is the source of life, only when t is pu're.

Mr. Monts is six feet tall. weighs ontie hundred and forty-five pounds, and though neady eighty-one years old, has a remarkably straight and stalwart body, evincing at one time a possession by organization of I vigor. ous and sound constitution. He was never fleshy,. but of a firm and com pact frame. Though naturally provi deit and energetic he early acquired the muore frugal and industrious habits which in after life so signally crowned his manly efforts with success. Owing to his father's financial depression, he received only a meagre education. He was raised by pious and devoted parents, who early taught him a pro per regard for the deserving, the true and the good. Always self-possessed and de.liberate, and by his well poised temperance lie has the rare faculty of begetting in others that inspiration properly modi fled by a serenity of mind and wanner, which so characteri:es his every day deportmeut. There is no flash, blister nor enthu siasm in his religion, but rather a composed and exalted mailiness which always give a hirh moral tone to his whole bearing with men, and a silent but deep impression of piety and de votion in his daily communion with his God. As ini his moral, so in his social na ture, nothing is wanting. A true, warm and steadfast friend, a most ex cellent and sympathetic neighbor, a devoted and loving husband, and a father, if it were possible, without a faulIt. His wife was a Miss Mary E. Sease, born June 18, 1801. She was the seveuth child in a family of eight chil dremn, of whom only one other lives to mutually claim a sister's best and purest affectio--a sister. Mrs. Marga ret E. Shealy, seven years her senior, and who now resides in the Dutch Fork of Lexington. S. C. Mrs. Monts is a blonde, of medium height, weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, and though nearly seventy eight years, still retains a cheerful aud sprightly demeanor, a blithesome and happy disposition. Her educational advantages wverc superior to those of her husband's, as is evinced in her perfect familiarity in her extreme old age with that class of languages of the great Teutonic branch, commonly known as Low German. She, too, was reared by Christian and affectionate parents, who ever threw around her such associations and memories as to beget in her the highest regard of woman's true mils sion. This she has ever filled, and has shrunk only from what love, hon or. innoece and religion dictated. On the 22nd of February, 1820, sheO was married to her present hus band, Mr. John A. Mouts. ''Leaving all to be his wife, Clinging to him as her life." Both husband and wife, in infancy, by b2ptism, were consecrated to the Lutheran Church through the minis try of the Rev. Joseph Wollar, and joined the same, respectively, fourteen years thereafter. In 1831, eleven years after their marriage, together they joined the Mthodist Episcopal Church, South, in which faith they have lived ever since as devout and exemplary Chris tians,exhibiting in their daily walk and :onversation the lovely virtuies and onsoling graees of godly and righteous persons. In 1841, when the desire to ruigrate became so prevalet--when South Carolina gave so many of her oble r.ons to people other States, they, too, imbibed the same spirit, and left ov. 15th, of the same year, for the hen far West.

Thc longevity of life and generally well developed and ex ercised bodies are remarkable both in the family of Mr. Monts and that of his wife, thus verifying the great truth of the first Promise, "thy days shall be long upon the land, which the Lord, thy God, giveth thee." The same is inherited by their children, through abstemiousness and apprecia blv transmuted to their children.

What a centralized powe. could the old gertleman controi iiere the re-es tablishment of a patriarebal govern ment possible ! The writer is of the opinion that a parallel case uf organic fruitfuless and exuberance is not to be found in any of the Southern States. More wonderful is it, that these old people are still "keeping house" as a matter of choice, to give that constant and pleasant employment which few natures, even in extreme old age, necessarily require. Every year does the old gentleman cultivate ten acres of land, including the little patches set apart for the less substan tial aid dainticr products, as deter Wined by the average farmer of Mis. sissippi. The old lady still attends to the domestic duties of both parlor and kitchen, and seems to. exult in the heavier duty. Their horse, to all the children so dear, "old Jim," is .32 years old, and is gentlest and most do cile when driven by his kind master. Their buggy is 50 years old; and is safest only when under their care. Mr. and Mrs. Monts, alias Uncle Adam and Aunt Betsie, throuuhout their whole country are loved as c-hil dren in their purest innocency. Ev ery S::hbba th, when not too& inclement, they attend New Chapel Church, about a mile distaut fromi; their cozy and cormfortabl little homec, to join others of Go-d's people in mnaking yo cal wvith songs of praise the blessed and holy day. ''Thus calmly their life, Free from sorrow and strife, Hathi spun out its quiet thread; And thus do they knit Frm the shadows that git Fond loves of the living and dead. "And though old age hath silvered Their heads and bewildered Their thoughts of the dim days of yor-e, Yet, conning old memories o'er and o'er, Old grand pa and ma is sitting, He smoking, she knitting, Orreading by light from the farm house floor. "The love~d ones of youth, With their fondness and truth, Have passed through the old farm house door On Death's drooping plume; B3ut their memories perfume The tranquil content of that farm house floor, And their musical feet On the golden street Iy faith they hear from the farm house door! And soon through that portal, In raimnent immortal, Shall go the old folks of that farmn house ho-'r, In pride, not in :neekness In strength. not in weakness To join in God's love With their dear ones above; Thetn we shall behold nevermore, as of yore Him contentedly smoking Hecr musing, not moping, Or basktig in fire light of the farm house floor."

Hair Vigor For restoring Gray Hair its natural Vitality and Col A' which is at once agree able, healthy, Sand effectual for preserv ing the hair. Faded or gray -hair is soon. * restored to its original color, with~ the gloss and~ freshness of yiouth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub-. stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PREPARED BY Dr. I. C.
