The Obserc of last week says: The Obsereer of May 15th spoke of a blank petition that had been sent to this county by Superintendent of Education Coward. Last week, three weeks afterwards, the IIE: A_l) and the News reply to the article, and do so in such a way as to lead one who had not read the Observer's article, or having read it had forgotten it, to infer that the Observer had perverted the facts in the case. The IIEIALD "fears" that our article "was construed as in dicating that the work of obtaining signers was abandoned because the sentiment of our community was against it." It proceeds to give its own version "as a matter of fact." V hile the HERALD does not charge the Observer in so many words with saying the petition was aban doned because the sentiment of the community was agaiast it, nor that it was chilled by public sentiment, vet, its editorial being in the nature of a reply to ours, that is the in ference. Our remarks were not in the na ture of a reply to the Obserccr; the IIEIALD did not speak of the Ob sercer's article so as to lead any one to infer that facts had been _)erverted; and it did not charge our contemporary with anything, either directly or inferentially. The IIE1:ALD said nothing about the matter until it found that the O, screer's article had been construed by persons in Newberry ;as indi cating that the work of obtaining signers was abandoned because the sentiment of our community was against it," and it feared that it would be so construed elsewhere. This explains why our remarks were published three weeks after tile Oljscreer's article. 'The IIER1ALD did not proceed to give its own version "as matter of fact." It obtained its facts from tile citizen who carried the petition around, and the Ob.serter has not vet said that those facts are incor rectly stated. We said thlat the petition was presented to some twelve persons, tile majority of whom signed it; the Ob:sercer. says that it was presented to eleven per sons six of whom signe,1 it. Our contemporary mfighlt have added tihat one of the five refused to sign, on the soie ground thlat hie feared that it was an attempllt to injure Senator lhtler-he has sin1Ce signed the petition; anothler refused, not that he wa opposed to national aid, but because he had not decided about the matter: two of thle others were iln the saihe office withl the gentleman who had the petition in hlandl, and he knew their views be fore lie presented thle petition to them tile fifth was too busy to talk abo-ut the petition, but v:ould have signed it, and has since (lone so. Of tile nine to whom the peti tion was presented outside theC gen tliman's own office, we may say thlat not one was oiposed to it. The HE!AD knew most of these facts three weeks ago. We esteem our contemporary. and if we ever have charges to make against himl, we promnise that they- shall be plain andI specific. We think that a more car eful exam inationl of the matter will convince himl that lie has no0 cause of quar rel withi the Iih:AI. The Obsercrr. words, to which the Iv:uaIm referred three weeks alter they were published are as follows: Onhe of the blank petitions was sent to School Commissioner Boyd at P1 rosp)erity sever-al days ago. A f ter somec effort,3Mr. Boyd sueceeded in gettin.g tw:o signatures to the peC tition. Becoming discouraged he ser.t the petition to a citizen of the town of Newberrv. and asked hlim to carry it arounld. IIe did not meet with mluchl encouragement. and not having time to devote to the mnatter,. he retuirned the petition to 3Ir. Boyd. When it is re memnberedl how easy it is t.o se cure signatures to almost any sort of petition, the abov-e facts indicate very strongly if they do not prove, that the people of this section are opposed to national aid to education. especially in the shape of the Blair bill. Our contemporary will of course state what the II:aL state-d a week ago, that a petition' exactly like the one mentioned here has since been sent to Col. Aiken froml Newberry, signed by 120 persons. GRAS.Y GEEN STRATFORD. The quietest Tcwn-More of the Grass-Mor( Women than Men-The Rev.

'ihis is the third t ime we write you oh people of Newherry from this grassv town, and we are not weary either of the supreme quiet of the people and the exquisite refresh ment afforded by its everlasting and never ending slopes and levels of green and portive luxuries. It is the quietest place our eyes have ever rested on, and but for the con. tinual passage of the trains, one niight rest under the delusion that it was enjoying a long and health ful rest. But the swift trains wake up the echoes as they come and as they go, the livelong day and the night-it is no unconmmon thing for two and even four to pass each other at the uniform speed of be. tween thirty-five and forty miles per hour, and it is a novel sight to loot; at a passing I rain from the window of another-the one opposite to you looking as if it were a row of tov cars, so very small do they seem. For every one man or boy seen on the str"pts one's vision is grati fied b% the sight of six or eight women. Men are few here in day light, as the most of them have oc cupation in Bridgeport, and other contiguous towns, some even "earn their bread by the sweat of their brows" in distant New York. Most times the streets are nearly desert. ed, and only the butcher with his strong and husky black beard, the fish dealer, and if one walks on the main street on which are the half dozen stores and the post-office, su perintended by a pretty, active miss, and a few men seen. As each passenger train becomes due, the stillness is broken by the quick moving Stratfordite skurrying across the common to catch the train. Everything and everybody moves quickly here, a minute's time makes all the difference, for one moment lost and the train leaves you. No one is left however, the people understand the value of time, and are therefore always on time. As soon as a train leaves, silence reigns supreme, and not a soul is seen, but in five or ten min utes, the same running, hurrying, skurrying is seen again-and so it is all day. Yes, Stratford is a dear, delightful, quiet solitude. This is the home of the Reav. Ar thur Sloan, the Faith-Worker. We had the pleasure of attending one of his meetings last evening, and were much impressed with the truths which lie uttered. Read James v., 14 & 15. If this were some light or trivial sub)ject we could make ourselves understood, but it s full of significance, of solemn, eligious thought, and we can only ay from what we have seen, and hat we have heard, that we believe iss Curtiss in whose house these meetings are held, is a living and etive example of the working of ath. For twenty-five years she ad been afflicted, and only at brief ntervals had been exempt from ain and could walk. In March ast, to use her own expressive lan ~uge, she "carried her trouble to he Lord, and believed," and hei ath was so strong that from that oment "she was healed." We hve seen this lady, have spoken o her, and have felt the warm pres mre of her hand, hav'e looked into er clear, truthful eyes, and there s no mistaking the evidence. We ill relate one or two other instan es. A lady was brought here a few weeks a~go, from New York. She could not walk and suffered in ense, agonizing pains in her feet, nd she had been in that condition for years. She came, was the sub ect of sp)ecial, earnest prayer, was aointed by MIr. Sloan, believed. and was jistatlyj healed. She n:ulk &i to her templorary home, a (]ttr-' rvs of a ifei, w!t( to-dayi is v:ell. r. Sloan's mind was led in this irection only a few months ago, and about the first of January, lie believed that God would make him Iis instrument in IIealing those who would take hold of the revealed promise, and with bunble and hild-like simplicity believe in the Faith. We are thus particular. b; - ause we would have our readers anderstiad andl see the truth as it bears up)on us. We confess to skepticism when first told of this, but it is all clear and bright nowv. In pursuit of this feeling, the Rev-. gentleman, made his two children bothi amlicted,one with weak ankles, wichi prev'ented its standing sq1uare ly up)on its feet, and the other with a muscular twitching in hands and face-the subjects oftspecial p)rayer, humbly beseeching the interposition f the Almighty in their healing. lis prayer was answered--the next morning the blessed, grati!'x'ing sight of one child walllkg, anid the otier relieved of' the p)ainftul con tor. ions of its body, gladdened his sight. Mr. Sloanm is a Christian entlIem an, tho! oughly and heartily devoted to the work he is engaged in and is besides a ripe scho:ar, and his thioughts are clothed in a beautiful simplicity of languaige every action, every look, every' work. evidences him to be true. We ould relate several otler remarka ble instances of lIcaling,. but f'eel that these are suffiient, and we leave tIhe interesting subject with he reader for quiet thouht. The w;eathier has becomne sudden iX cool again,. and our Southern iood is cliill ed . but n1ot to such an extent as woul mamke ''our hair to rion e'd lik' <pilis un th min for anuv suc~h feat as tinat. Onem head, he has retired to his hole or to his retreat in the Jersey flats. u,ith the wind from the South and South-West they come in myriads, s but fortunately, unlike their South- s ern cousins, they have no "music L in their souls," a singing master is evidently neede I here on the Long Island Shore. When the wind f changes to the East or North, thee annoving torments suddenly disap- f pear. They are different from their cousins in that they are easi ly klilled. and confidiingly present v their bodies and wait the crushin, t finger, seldom attempting to fly. While on this theme we might as well tell all we know about this furtive insect, as to its character and habits. in its Northern clime. c The Stratford 'sketur is not a:nbi- a tious, but content to rest in the 1 low-grounds of the first story of the hou-e. it rises not an( soars not i: 1 yon_l the windows of the first floor. and from these windows it is excluded by frames of thin wire- r netting-these frames are set in and i are separat from the window frames which can be raised or lowered at will The upper windows are not thus protc(te(f for the reason above t stated. We impart this lesson in natural istory without charge. The e absenco of flies-house-liies we m:i .n-is a positive pleasure. 1 e have seen but one in our abiding , place. I'here is no use in knocking. they can't comrie in. Fly brusl.es at table are not needed. Vegetation is in its infa.cy here -potatoes not killed by the late frost. are only a few 'nlches in height; corn, beets, beans, &e.. are getting up and stiigglung for a place in Nature's big picture. t IIazy weather for three days past , has put an estoppel on our pur- I pose to draw a few of the den- , zens inhabiting the waters of the Sound from their recesses in the mighty deep-we hope soon however to hook the Black and the Blue fish, and bring them in. We are pleased to say that our health is improving, and with this we close this week's letter. 0 STRA TFORD, C'T. LE'i'rE1:. 11 SvT rrmm. C.. ,Junle 12, '84. We proinis.-d in our last letter to tell the readers of the IIrcn.m I)what ~ we saw at the great Circus Show of a the world-renowned Phineas T. Bar- 1 num, and as this letter will be en- S tirely devoted to this subject. we will commence with the beginning, and tell when we started and how we got there. The show was to 1e at Bridgeport, the home of the P Showman, we were at Stratford. At 8.30 we took the train. and in five minutes were on foot again, and the next moment in a beautiful e grassy park-there is grass enough o here to feed all the poor, half staf- f: ved cattle of South Carohina. and : suflicient left to supply another i. State. Here, with a conglomerate t1 mass of men, women and children e we waited the grand procession. c This provedl to lbe the most impos- t ing street pageant it has ever been1 I our good fortune to see. Wte made t a feint to count the magnificently t dlecorated bandl and show wagons,a cages, chariots, fine horses of every n color under the sun, men, women. I clowns, boys, besides the Zulus, tihe C Soudanis, the Arabs, and what nots, r which made up this b)ewildlering t show, but we were so lost in wonder v and amazement, that the attempt 1 had to 1be abandoned-there was t: too much to be0 seen. Ini one thing e we succeeded--thec count of thes elephants, there were twenty fouro in line,J .umubo, thme great. the~ Sacred or white elephant:, baby elephanLits, t besides others of this s)pecies werea not subjected to) the~ vulgar gaze of r tile uinwashe~d throng, but were keptv under cover. The cages of hoions, tigers. panithiers, wildl cats andl manmy other species, inl each of' wichl a keeper was st ated,. added much to the attractiveness oft this large and grand display of nature, art and wealth-for 1P. 13. is represented to be0 worth S10.000,000-on foot t.:o besides the elephants there were herds of camels, dromIedaries,. and other four. footed curiosities. Fif teen minutes were consumed in the~ passage of this grand show from the p,oinlt at whic:h we stood. Wte never expect to see another of its like-and the sight of this was glory (enough for one day. Ihaving a few hours to idle away till the hour of adumission to the in. ner sidle of the grand .show, we took the streets and made for the beau tiful Sea-Side Park, whmichm, in our view, is as fine a.s the West Point Gardeni at Charleston. The view is much more entended, and the Park lovelier. W hope we may he p)ardooed for this expression of of a sincere opinio(n. This scene so charming 1lolled th~e senses into delicious repose, anid was enjoyedt to its full. but there wa a voidl whichi grassy slopes,beautiful walks,0 sea brieeze, and restful seats could 1 satisfy. The craving for food made itself felt, and wve crossed over to a restaurant near,. anid quelled tihe inner unlrest by an :appl!icationi of blue fish,. clams and eoTice. It is needless to saiy that peac~e r.igned supremle from that moment--the operation was simple. and effectum:d anId (cheal). Another r:'.e in the streeCt cars. and we were oultside of the mim mense sjreal of canvas. P'assing thle ticket-takers the visitors to the~ great show fo.und themselves in th~e large p)avilion devotedl to the exhli bition of the living curiosities, in cluding Chang, the Chinese giant, thle Burmese. Zulus. Nubians, low. caste Ilindoos, Todas Indians and I other features, all of which were v gazed r'ponm with wondermen t by many of tile dlense tiumong. Here in an enclosure, uinder a mronsterf cnopy,~V and surronuned Iy Brah mins musicians and others. stoods the2 far-famedc white elephant. Overt his body was thrown ai notting of f goleni cord and a silvercehaini hunga from his cars. Now and then the - musicians would strike up their na ti.e tneon n nrinus1y fn-or1 in. rI truments, the melody o1 which omewhat resembled the noise of a oiler making factory. The ele >hant is of an ashen gray, with rhite or pied marks upon ears and orhiead. and his whole appearance ndicates that he is vastly different rom the remainder of the large herd. le was looked upon with ;reat curiosity by the tIousands ho either surrounded or passed hy lie euclosuire; all admitted the ele >hant to be more than ordinarily nteresting. In the next pavilion ras grouped the herd of elephants, neludiing Jumbo in charge of Keep r Scott, and the amusing dwarf nd trick elephant. Tom Thumb. rof. George Arstingtall, the popu ar train(r. here held a reception to is legion of friends. By the aid of ladder many children found al qp,ortun,ty to rest a few minutes ipon .Jumabo's towering form. Ile s th, l:irgest beast we ever saw. mnd is greedy as all elephants usu :ly ire. We judge his size to be one where from a piece of chalk up o a ineeting house. Leaving the monster and its >asket of little ones our wanler ng eyes were opened to the imi nense tent. which seats comn 6 ably ,lip j/,thllo(sumid peoplle. 'his assertion we know smacks of lunchausenism, but we assure the cader that it is none the less true, ,nd by two o'clock. when the grand rcliestra of twenty-four soloist: truck up the opening piece tlh, reat tei was Iiiil-d to -e;)leti('ii, n(1 by the time that the granh en ree took place many had to I ut up ithi standing room.

It is easy ow to form an idea of the imnineni: umi of money taken in at this show. otuit'it for yourself. realer,15,000 t 50 ets. and 5.000 extra seats Iey were all full-at 50 ets. each. Viat does this amount to? Sim ly -10.000. The daily expenses f this show are SG.000; enormous n't it? Well, as we said this is a Cir us letter. we will give a faint idea f what was seen besides the 15.000 tces. and the 10,000 waving falls. 'irst was the grand entree-tlhe and in splendid uniform heading he procession, thei. followed sev nty nine splendid horses, richly ap)arisonedi, and finely mounted, be male riders being v-ariously ressed; among these riders were senty' four female equestrians, welve (or fifteen clowns fantastic ly arrayed. a large number of po ies, we have failed to rememl er the number-these were follow at by elephants, camels, dromeda is and a variety of othler animals, ben caime a fine sp)ecimnen of the restern cow boy with his lasso, fol Iwed by Inidians and all the other ribes mnentioned ab ove, racing hariots drawn by four horses each, ingle one horse chariots, together ith all the other horse, foot and ragoons of which the huge institu ion is composed. You (aln form n idea of the immensity of space, eder, can you not. If you cannot, re are unable to give you a more Lad idea of it. Inside, and in the centre, of his wond(erful spread were three ings. one of which was covered rith a green carp)et. withl space ufhlict on its edlge for tile passage f. horses, another was covered with brown carpet. with similar space or horses, tile thirdl and( centre one as square and elevated. As soon1 s thle grand cavalcade had mlade s evolution.s.theC three wings were ach occupiedl and filled with a nickchianging and bright moving ariety of pierformI~ances. consisting f riding. gymnastics, aerobatics. ire walking. dlancing and a hun red otheCr things. somie failiar as ircus accompainiimeints, and many hat we nlever sawv before.

The greatest misfortune that can befall an individual is the habit of regar.iing his own opinion as of more importance than that of an other. What an unenviable char acter is such an one. We must correct our opinions by those of others. In the "multitude of coun sellors there is safety"-how wise how true is this. Ilow great is the aversion to the self-opinionated man, as we look upon him with our narrow eyes. which fail to see be vond our own nasal i:redominant. How, how, yes how. I f a canoe be connectcd by a cord with a distant ship, one in the canoe may draw himself to the ship, if he cannot draw the ship to himself. So, as has been said. is it with prayer. If it do not bring God to man, it will bring man to God. And this is always well for man.

How sugges tive too to the careless and indif ,erent man or woman, of a duty ther owe,. and which ther do not often pay.
