Spartanburg, July 18.-Sixty thousand dollars was accidentally discovered at Pacolet buried in tho sand along tho banks of tho Pacolet river recently, but it was cotton and not gold that consti tuted this valuable treasure, says the Journal. A party waR prospecting on tho 8001)0 of tho recent Hood disaster along tho ii vor banks not far from tho site of tho warehouse at Pacolet when a small.bit of white cotton was noticed sticking out of tho sand Investigation followed at once and tho whito bit of cotton turned out to be part of a bale which in turn was one of a lot of nearly one thousand bale? of cotton which wero lying buried beneath tho sands all un known to tho workmen who had hundreds of times passed over this voritablo mino of wealth in buried cotton.

When overy halo was dug out and an inventory taken it was found that nearly ono thou sand halos of cotton, valued in round numboi-R at about $00,000 bad born rescued. Tho incident is ono of many of this kind showing tho strange freaks which the storm and flood played, con cealing goods and cotton in many in stances in such a manner that they are found with difllonlty.

Gloacehino Vineen/.o Rafaello Pecei, subsequently Pope Leo XIII of Rome, was born at Carpineto, Italy, March 2, 1810. His father, Sudovico Pecei, served with dist mo tion for sevoral year? in the army of Italy, and his mother, Anna Pros peri Bus!, claimed descent from the illustrions Cola de Riehsi, the last of the crest tribunes. Most of Iiis in telleetual gifts were presumably de rived from his mother, who was pos sessed of extraordinary talents. His early years were spent under the parental roof at Carpinoto. Here he developed that rare amiability and strength of character which dis tinguished him throughout his long career of usefulness. In speaking of his disposition nt this period his mother frequently remarked thal he was the source of great comfort j to her. Though never ?tout of frame, he was exceedingly fond of outdoor life in boyhood, spending mue,h of his time either on horse batik or in hardy sport of some kind. In 1818 he entered tho Jesuit col lege at Veterbo, where he distin guished himself by reason of his dili gent habits and mental accomplish ments. In 1824 he entered the col lege Romano, in the ancient capital, where he likewise took high rank among ibo students. During his educational career many premiums were bestowed upon him for pro ficiency in his studies. On account of his peculiar aptitude in philosophi cal branches of thought he was fre quently called upon before gradua tion, in spite of his extremo youth, to assist tito faculty in giving in struction in these branches. His mother never witnessed his formal entrance into tho priesthood, but sho died happy in the assurance that her noble son had fully resolved to con secrate himself upon the altar of tho church. Ono of tho most joyful moments of her lifo was the time when ho came home to visit her, wearing the clerical three-cornered hat indicativo of tho decision which he had reached in the matter. His father, at one time, wanted him to enter military life in emulation of his own example in this respect, but he cheerfully acquiesced in tho de cision which led his son into the priesthood. Having completed his edoational studies, the future pontiff, on March 10, 1837, became, through the ap pointment of Pope Gregory XVI, domestic prelate and referendary of tho Segnatura. On December 23, 1837, Cardinal Odescalehi conferred the priesthood upon him and subse quently he became apostolic delegate at Benevento, Perugia and Spoleto in succession. In 1843 Popo Greg ory XVI appointed him nuncio to Belgium and also at tho samt; time made him archbishop of Dam letta. Entering upon the duties which this dual responsibility imposed upon him, he remained at Brussells three years. On December 19, 1868, he was proclaimed cardinal by Pope Pitts IX, nnd on September 1, 1877, Pope Pius IX appointed him to tho office of Cardinal Acmerlengo, who had occupied that post. Subse quently on tho death of Pope Pius IX, on February 7, 1878, he assumed the headship of the church in tempo ral matters, made tho arrangements for the last solemn obsequies of tho pontiff, received the Catholic am bassadors and superintended the preparations tor tho conclave. Sixty-two cardinals were present at the assembly, which was hold at the vatican on February 18, 1878, to elect the suececsor of Pope Pius IX. On tho first day there was no elec tion, but on the second day Cardinal Pecei, having received tho majority of tho votes cast, was declared pope elect. On March 3, 1878, ho was crowned in tho Si?tino chapel under tho title of Pope Leo XIII. Pope Leo XIII grasped tho mitre with extremo vigor, but at tho samo timo with characteristic gentleness, fully realizing tho weight of responsibility which it imposed upon him. During tho twenty-one years of Ins reign thor \as never boon tho least dis play'of weakness of deviation from the fixed principios which he brought to tho chair of St. Peter. On his acoesaion to the snored office he asserted his bold polioy of inde pendence by rofnaing to accept the ecial Values in > O D S . almo. i0o? . 8Jo. good v-duo. 7^o. . 60. . 5o. . 60. . . ?o. lies, Lawns, Madrns, Cloths, Crushes ;| that we have ever carried. And thc ?AUKNIGHT. income regularly bestowed upon the pontiff by the Italian Parliament. In pursunnce of this same line of conduct ho Bccluded liiinsulf within Ibo enclosure of the vatican and from tho sanctity of that retreat issued manifestoes demanding the restoration of the temporal power of the church. No occupant of tho chair of St. Peter has ever been more jealous of the sovereignty of the church in temporal as well as in ecclesiastical matters than Pope Leo XIII. Being 08 years of age at the time bo assumed tho duties of his sacred office, it was not believed that Pope Loo XIII would long continue to exercise tho prerogatives of that office, but in spite of the predictions of wiso prophets and the infirmities of advanced years his reign has ex tended itself over one of the longest ] periods in the entire history of the ohurch. Only seven popes occupiod the chair of St. Peter during longer torms of years than Pope Leo XIII. In doaling with the different powers of the globe from time to time, Pope Leo XIII has betrayed tho abilities of tho profound diplomat. In great international difficulties he has not hesitated to offer tho ser vices of the church in the final ad justment thereof. This has been duo in pnrt to tho love of peace which has always been one of tho dominat ing principles uf Iii? life and in part to the jealous manner in which he has always asserted the supremo au thority of tiie church. In the recent Spanish-American war Pope Leo XIII proposed to arbitrate the dis puto involved, but bis services were not accepted and the issues of that dispute were settled at the point of tho sword. In 1895 Pope Leo XIII formally invited the people of Eng land to return to tho holy unity of? the church of Rome, but the people of England were too closely wedded to the established faith to consider tho overture of tho pontiff. On ac count of Iiis rare intellectual gifts, tho manifestoes of Pope Leo XIII have always been read with eager in terest by people the world over, re gardless of ecclesiastical creeds and affiliations, ami on account of his wonderful vitality he has always spoken with the tone of authority in matters of physical diet as well as in matters <>f ecclesiastical import. In this latter respeot he has been the pontiff of united Christendom. In taking the measure of 1'ope Leo XIII it may be truthfully affirmed that the ch mci) of Home never en joyed the administration of one in authority more thoroughly remarka ble in every sense if the word. Scholar, diplomat, statesman, pon tiff, author, l'opo Leo XIII will rank in history among the most illustri ous ocenpants of the chair of St. Peter. No False Claims.

BULL RUN NO PICNIC. Washingtonians Thought it Would be i Holiday-Witnessed by Thousands. Very few people there are wbo| are familiar with the ilute ou which falla the anniversary of the battle of | Hull Kim, nay8 the Washington Post. The date is remembered by and known to more people and comes nearer being celebrated in Washing ton an?! the district of Columbia than .in *"v other quarter of the Unit"' at i. T drst battle of Bull Run was fought on Julv 28, 1801, aud when that day arrived during the present month it saw large numbers of vete rans, ladies and gentlemen of the older generation und not a few of the younger, celebrating, in their own quiet way, this, one of the {1st of unofficial holidays. This state ment may bo a surprise to many, and cause some people to inquire why, in view of the fact that Bull Hun waa "a Union defeat and a Con federate stampede," as one writer put it, the rememberanco of that event has been cherished by Wi.sh ingtonians until the anniversary of | the fight has become a sort of half day, unrecognized, unlegalized holi day. This, perhaps, is best answered by a venerable gentleman, now fast approaching his 80th year, who, for many years, has been connected with the Army and Navy Medical Museum. He said : THE BULT BUN ANNIVERSARY. "Perhaps it is a little hard for out siders and newcomers to understand why wo Washingtonians set such store by tho anniversary of tho battle of Bull Hun, but to me the reasons aro clear enough. Now that tho civil war and its long train of at tendant evils are past and gone I dare say it would bc utterly impos sible for anyone to imagine or to I form a correct idea of tho altogether vague, mistaken and even frivolous view that people North and South took of tho war at the beginning of struggle. You see the country had enjoyed a long era of poaoo. From 1815 down to 1801, almost a half I century, thero lind been no war I worthy of tho name. Of course there was the Mexioan war and tho various Indian outbreaks, but these were left largely to the regular army to settle and did not affact nor con vulse the country ns a whole. All over the United States tho people had settled into a rut from which nothing short of a terrible war could have moved them, and had matters gone on in this way for an other half century we would have been a nation more backward than the Boers of South Africa. Therefore when tho civil war carno on both sides went about the matter in a lazy, perfunctory, dilatory sort of way, as though ono noisy and bloodless battle would settle the dis pute forever and a day. This ap pears all tho more amusing to mo now, as I look back over tho vista of years and think how, carly in .inly, 1801, we Washingtonians got| word that n battle was soon to bo fought out at Bull Hun. Our half I century of peace had rendered bloody spectacles a decided novelty, and I can remember, as tho day drew near, how tho city was all a-bustle and agog over what many looked forword to as tho greatest sight of their lives. Had any of Napoleon's veterans dropped into tl?e city a few days beforo Bull Hun ho would never have guessed that a battle was imminent. It was more like a city getting ready for a flower carnival, an exposition opening, ora grand holiday of some sort. Depart ment clerks woro bustling about, be seeching leaves of absence in order to tako their wives and sweethearts out to seo tho fight, nor were they obliged to beg very hard, for their superiors were quito as anxious as their subordinates to gape at tho battle whieh was to settle forever the question of secession, eto.

STA booming of oannon resounding over the hills told us that tho struggle j was on in earnest I vnuture to say you couldn't have hired s horse and rig for 910 au hour. I happoned to be one of tho spectators and so I know whereof I speak. 1 also ob tained a leave of absence, or, rather, I took it, in-as-much as the depart ment in whioh I was employed was descried and, joiniug a friend who had a horse and buggy, wo followed the throng out to where tho fightiug was in progress. On reaching the battlefield we joined a large orowd of sight-seers posted on a little hillook in the rear of a body of in fun try, which, by the way, had one cannon that was firing in a sort of desultory wAy, at the enemy, whose battery waa situ^led on an opposite rise beyond an inter vening hollow or gully. The latter were bombarding the Federal infan try at a pretty lively rate, and, as it seemed to me at the time, were using more solid oannon balls than Bhells. Many of these passed over the infan try, fell and rebounded near the spectators on the hillock in the rear. Instead of frightening any of us, from the very outset wo lost all sense of fear. The big, solid oannon balls from the Confederate battery were not at all terrifying. They seemed to bowl over to our side like so many baso balls, and, although moving at a very rapid rate, they oreated just the opposite impression, BO much so, in fact, that there was a great deal of useless dodging, whioh was at times quite amusing. Street arabs were on hand and whenever a cannon ball struck there was a general scramble of small boys, men and women to gain possession of the ball for a sou venir. One rather haughty lady, who felt it beneath her dignity to join in any such competition, pur chased a cannon ball from a twelve year-old youngster for $1, Others did the same. "My companion soon got tired of the spectacle and returned to his horse and oarriage, which were left tied in tho rear. Ho was afraid that, in the excitement, somcouo might steal it, but I was anxious to secure a cannon ball and he consented to wait for mo until I had secured one,_ provided it did not take too "long. I ran after several, but missed them. Finally, after two or threo disheart ening attempts the rebels fired one shot that played havoc among the in fantry in front of us, carrying off the hoads of two men whom I myself saw fall and scattering thc spectators right and left. I calcuhted about the spot where tho ball would strike, guessed right, remained where I was standing and beat tho others to it by several yards. The ball was covered with blood and before I rejoined my companion i had several offers of $1, *2 and $3 and as high as $5 for the ball, which I declined, preforing to retain the grewsomo souvenir of the first battle of the long four years' struggle, whioh I, at that time thought would be the last. I have the ball yet. Yonder it lies in tho corner. BOMKTHING D?IN0. "I had no moro than reached my friend beforo both he and 1 beonme aware that something extraordinary was in progress. As I climbed in the buggy I noticed several artillery men ride past at a dead gallop, with their harness traces cut. I had read of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow and of othor retrograde movements, but it was some time before I could get it through my head that aretroat was in progress. When I loft the hill the battle seemed to bo raging in a manner which, to a civilian like myself, seemed quite ideal and proper, and I could not understand the meaning of these artillerymen, who were now flying past in rapidly increasing numbers. I looked at my companion and he at mo and then wo asked each othor : "Is this a rotroat ?" "Wo drove leisurely along at first, a trillo alarmed, and slowly increas ing our speed as the moaning of tho thing began to dawn upon our minds.

We tried to stop several artillerymen so as to inquire of them whether thib was a retreat, who had ordered it, etc., but none of them would re main long enough to give a reply. Presently the road beoarae so ohoked with flying cannoneors and cavalry men, buggies and oivilians ou horse back that we were in danger of be ing overturned. Horsemen were bumping into un and I could see men throwing away guns and knapsacks. My companion had his buggy whip out ready to whip up his horse into a gallop, when someone in the rear yelled : "Run for your lives ; the enemy's oavalry ire upon ns." "Thnt settles it," muttored my companion between hif teeth and the way our horne got up and fairly dusted, under the stimulus j of my companion's whip, was a sight. We passed everything on the road and landed in Wnsbiugton safe and sound, although ou" poer animal was nearl/ winded. "The next two days were days of sorrow, fear and trembling for the people of this city. Everyone ex pected the Confederates to advance upon, storm and take the city im mediately and it was then, for the first time, that we begau to realize that tho war was a far moro serious proposition, as tho boys say nowa days, than we had at first imagined. When days passed and they did nothing of tho sort, and the Federal troops began to rotrieve their losses we were indeed happy and thankful. It was this thankfulness over our unexpected good fortune and deliv erance that has led Washington poo plo to remember the" day with feel ings akin to thanksgiving for our streak of luck in not falling into the hands of the rebels."

Killebrew, writing in a recent issue of the Southern Farm Maga zine, Baltimore, says : It is doubtful if any part of Aus tralia or of tho Spanish peninsula offers any greater advantages for sheep husbandry than the Southern States. Whether wo consider the soil or tho climate, the grasses or the forage plants, tho rolling' sur faces or the supplies of water and shade, the Southern States must be regarded as an ideal place for the prosecution of this industry. That soopo of country embraced between the Alleghany mountains on the east and the Mississippi river on the west and lying south of tho Ohio river, including tho States of Ken tucky and Tennessee, the Northern parts of Georgia, Alabama and Mis sissippi, and to which may bo added the Piedmont regions of Virginia, North and South Carolina east of I the mountains, prcsont features that) flockmasters recognize as hoing im portant for tho successful growth of I their industry. In this region tho cold is not so severe during the win ter as to make tho foeding of sheep a source of great concern, nor is the heat of summer so intense ns to | work a degeneracy, aftor a few gene rations, in tho oharaoter of tho fleeces. We hope to see the day] when our people will undertake the i raising of sheep as a business. One1 j thing is sure-when sheep come, I thc^worthless dogs will have to go. li I^r'A CLAY, OP KENTUCKY, DEAD. A Prominent Figure in National Politice for Years -Ninety-Three Yent Old. Lexington, Ky., July 22.-General Cassius Marcellus Clay, ambassador to Russia under President Lincoln, noted abolitionist and author, died at his home, Whitehall, in Madison oounty, at 9.10 o'clock, to-night. Dqatb was duo to general exhaustion. General Clay was born October 19, 1810, in Madieon oounty. Ile led a stirring life, which began tc tell on him in late years. He believed a oonspiraoy to assassinate him had been formed and some years ago for tified his home, Whitehall, and en tered a life of seolusion that ended only a few weeks ago, when the courts appointed a committee to take oharge of him and his effects. He was found desperately ill and has had every care since. The sur viving children are Brutus J. Clay, prominent in national polities, of Richmond ; Miss Laura Clay, noted as an exponent of woman's suffrage, Lexington ; Mrs. Dabney Cronshaw, Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Mary Barr Clay and Mrs. James Bennett, of Riohmond, Ky. His children wero all at his bedside. Some of them have not been in their father's house or seen him in years because of his peculiar hallucination that they were in a vendetta sworn to kill bim. Clay was one of the most pic turesque figures in American polities in the sixties. His home at White hall has been guarded by armed men. A loaded cannon sits in his hallway and his room is a veritable arsenal, gathered for the purpose of repelling an attaok of an imagiuary vendetta. Genearl Clay fought several duels when he was in active politics and bis abolition sentiments drew him into several bloody fights in Ken tucky. Several years ago? Clay created a groat sensation by marrying a 16 year old country girl. The girl was very ignorant, but Clay Baid he would eduoate her. Life with tho venerable general, however, palled on Dora and she fell in love with a young fellow named Brook. When Clay was informed he allowed Dora to get a divoroe and fixed a sum of money on her when she married Brock.

Rock Hill, July 25.-The Winthrop State farm is, no doubt, ono of tho most interesting places in this section just now, and is well worth a visit from any one who is at all concerned about farming and modern methods. Tho business has been a success, and, though the land was only or dinary several years ago, it is in fine condition to-day. Tho actual profit in money is small, but the improve ments would declare a big dividend. Aside from that, the college is fur nished with produce, fresh, health giving, and this, too, with all regular ity and promptness. The tract contains 144 acres, 8 acres being in an orohard of apples, pears and peaohes, 1 acre in straw berries, 2 in alfalfa and tho remain ing number in corn, sorghum cane, beans, cowpeas, etc. From the alfalfa three tons to the acre have been out and there will be two more cuts. This furnishes then a splendid yiold, and it is only two years old. The oanning plant is now in ope ration. Already 1,000 gallons of peaches havo been put up, and 600 gallons more of fruit and tomatoes will be preserved in this way. Sixty milch cows aro kept on hand, the herd being made up of Jorsoys, Holsteins, Guornsoys and good "scrubs." The beef cattlo, that is tho greator part of it, is bought and stall fed. In this way the students are given the bestbeof possible. One hundred and thirty head are consumed annually. From the waste products of the farm and college, 135 hogs are boing fed. No corn at all is given to them. As to tho corn crop every particle is fed to the cows and to the stock, nothing being wasted. The cattlo like the ensilage, which producos a fine quality of the richest milk. During the past year the superin tendent, Mr. Buist, expended $12,680.63, while the receipts amount to $12,845.67. This makes a good showing, and when it is remembered that great improvements have been made and that the girls have been given the choicest farm produce, it must be pronounced a splendid en terprise.

No government in the world goes to the expense that this government does, to give the people suoh frequent and detailed information about orops ; nor is there any other countiy which oould furnish reports so diversified and, from the point of view of all tho people, so hopeful. Size is io itself often, perhaps usually, au "lemont of strength. This is as true of a country as of an individual ; but the strength of this country lies moro in differences of soil and variety of climate than in mere extont of territory.
