Columbia, February 12.-Both Houses have passed a bill which re quires gypsicB and other itenerant horse dealers to pay a license to trade in horses, the license being fixed nt $600. Bands of gypsies aro not so common about the State as they used to be, but if they are compelled to pay tho license they will be seen about no more. As is well known, they aro the slickest of slick horse traders, and it is likely that some constituent of the author of the bill got worsted in a horBO trade ; hence tho bill. AB ono legislator re marked, there are other Blick horse traderB at large who arc not required tO pay license. Electricity Captures a Burglar.

I ?hm a Strong, his grandmother, Mrs. Davis, and his aunt, Mrs. Dinsmorc, had a thrilling experience in Shade's creek, near Bessemer, yesterday. They were driving in a one-horse wagon to visit neighbors on the other siile of the creek. The ereek was swollen and the horse was drowned. The wagon then went sailing down tho creek. The occupants were in tho wagon unable to get to shore for five hours and were li nally rescued after much difficulty. Tho wagon, in which the party remained, lodged against a tree, to which ropes were thrown. During thc voyage down tho Stream Mrs. Davis, who did not expect to survive her experience, wroto her will and carefully tied it to a piece of drift-wood so that it would be found in case she was drowned.

After the usual formalities tho lady passed on to join a group of ladies win ic husbands were in the same circe as her own. A frigid nod from ono and a haughty reply from the other made it all too phiin that she was unwelcome, for sonic ono had recognized her as a former Bales woman in a large store in New York, an establishment where, prior to her father's death, BIIO had been ono of the most valued and esteetnnble patrons. With consummate grace she withdrew from tho circle and was about to leave tho parlor when Mrs. Roosevelt, with her character istic tact and discernment, stopped to her side and extended her hand and said : 'I think we ha.dly need to be introduced as we aro such old friends. I am BO glad to meet you here,' and placing her arm around tho young woman who had so often supplied her wants at tho New York store, Mrs. Roosevelt led her to a sofa and chatted with her for fifteen or twenty minutes in tho charming manner which is inherent in the wife of the President of the United States and which has endeared her to the people of this country."

An Advance Step In Education. I write a Hue to caution you against various reports circulated around the oountry on so-called educational topios, seemingly the outcome of very vivid imaginations. At the recent meeting of the trustees of the Foabody Educational Fund, in Washington, it waa deemed advantageous to the twelve Southern States for whom the iucome o' the fuod ha? been devoted for tbtrtyflvo years, on oertain linos, that an advance step should be taken to meet tho new conditions in Southern education-now far ",u advance of a gene ration ago. It ts determined to create the "George Peabody College for Teachers," on bleher educational lines than have ever before been undertaken in theSoutb; a committee has been appointed to study out and present,this most interesting and important matter to a future meeting of the trustoes; it will require the most mature thought, time and a largo sum of money to make the proposed onange in administering the Peabody fund on thu new hue, and it follows of oourse that tho trustees are not going away from their educational work in tuo South. The considorable sum of money re quired for this large and important edu cational advanoo is believed to be in sight, and tho Intellifont composition of tho cc munit i co gives the assurance of a highly satisfactory result.-Wm.
