DEVOTED TO POLITICS, MORALITY, URSAATIOY AND TO TVL GX.INLOI. By Do Fe B3RADLEY & 00 PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, hY1,18.VL .N NEWS GLEANINGS, A large number of ship carpentere have arrived in Lake Charles, La., from New Orleans. A great deal of boat build ing is in progress there. The- Live Stock Journal learns that the New Orleans, Chicago and St. Louis railroad has erected a vast amount of barbed wire fencing along its track in Southern Mississippi and Louisiana, and will soon have it all along the line, so as to keep off stock from the track. The Little Rock Gazette publishes specifications of material and work i required to build a hospital for the in sane at Little Rock, Ark., from which it t appears that the main building is inten- I ded to be sixty-three feet front by one hundred and four deep, and the wings each one hundred and fifty-six feet long and forty feet wide. New Orleans Picayune: Texas towns grow so fast that the population is al. a ways ahead of the returns. According i to the last census Galveston had 22,253; ' San Antonio, 20,561 ; Houston, 18,646 . I Austin, 10,960; D~allas, 10,358. At Blackville, S. C., a correspondent 1 of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Constitutionalist cays the So~lh Caroli na railroad has built a shed 200 feet long C and fifty feet wide, intended for a cotton N market in the fall, and to store fertil- I izers in the spring. The sub-treasury at New Orleans has t been notified from Washington of the discovery of a counterfeit $10 gold coin, an imitation of the New Orleans coin- r age of twenty years ago. About ten years ago a number of these counterfeits were in circulation, but of late years none have been seen. The Houston (Texas) Post says that Fort Worth has an artesian well 360 feet, deep, and the water rises out of a bed of white -sand fourteen feet eep. The well affords about 100 barrels of freestone water per hour, which is sufli cient to supply the needs of the whole city. The Confederate monument in Talla hassee, Fla.,' is seventeen and a half feet high. The base is of gray sandstone, on which rests an immense block of white marble, with appropriate inscriptions engraved. A tapering shaft of pure white marble, surmounted by an Egyp tion shaped marble vase, rests on this rock. Chattaniooga (Tenni.) Tradesman: The expense of the great Cotton Exposition ait A tlanta will reach a high figure. To run the machinery will require not less than two miles of shafting. All sorts of novelties in the manufacturing line are to be shown. The enterprise will be a success in all resp~ects, and every city in the South shoul take a hand in it, foi its own benefit and for the encourage ment of our king of industries. For cotton is now more truly king than ever of exports, and soon to be king of South ern manufacturies. Charleston News and Courier; Tuition at the South Carolina College is abso-a Ittely free, except in the dlepartment of literabure, where the students pay such fees as may be agreedl on with the in structors. The South Carolina College< is emphatically a poor muan's college. It is supported by tihe annual interest on the invested proceeds of the sale of the] agricultural land script given the State by act of Congress. The whole fund was. lost, but it wvas replaced by the present State government, and the inter est is regularly paidl. This interest main tains the College at Columbia for whites, and the Clafin University at Oratnge burg, for colored persons only. Judge A. S. Merrimon, having been invitedl to address the prohibition conl vention at Raleigh, N. C., respondedl in an able, lucid and fervent speech, in the course of which he said: All legislation is a bundle of compromises. This bill was not what many people wanted, but seldom are statutes just what we wish. Whatever else it may be, prohibition is in it. The question must be discussed in the light of reason, and it must be plain ly discussed. But remember this: The act prohibiting the sale of liquor is as much a law as any on the statute book. The Logislature does not ask thme people to adopt or reject this act, hut only its penal provision. It goes into full force and effect on the first Monday of Octo ber next. The county Commissioners cannot issue a licence after that (late. It is therefore idle to speak upon the stat ute, for it is not a public question, beinig already a law. The Sunland Tribune, of Florida, bwenty miles where boats are required to go outside, there is an inland passage f four or five feet depth all the way rom Tampa bay to Punta Rassa, at the nouth of the Caloosahatchie river. By )pening a canal for eight miles at what s called the "Hanlover," in the vicinity >f Casey's Pass, the inland route, the [ribune learns from Coptain James Mc Cay, who is perfectly familiar with the ntire coast, can be made complete from rampa bay to the mouth of the Caloo abatchie for light draft boats, such as ould go up much father than ;eA-going teamers, the rivers of Manatee, Miakke, 'eace creek and Caloosahatchie. The L ribune says that it is chiefly along hese streams that all the best farming atnds below here are found. CHAINED HIMSELF. low a Texas Farmer Arranged for Alto Death fromu Elyd rophaobla. A Dallas (Texas) letter says: "A tragic eath has just occurred in our neighbor ug county of Hill worth relating, and orthy of Virginius or any other Roman ither. One year ago Georgo Arnold aino to Dallas on private business, and hile walking the streets was bitten by , worthless cur which was frothing at lie mouth, and showing other symptons I hydrophobia. Mr. Arnold becaine *larmnied and very much excited when onvinced in his own mind that the dog vai mad. He went to a physichia and kad tii wound severely cau terized. 1hn, going home, he was still very un asy, and dreaded hydrophobia so much hat he lunted up a) mald-Stonio anid had t applied for several weeks, off and on.

The other lay he began to experience strange feel ngs, and at onee concluded his time had some. He then procured a twelve-foot race-chain and strong lock and went to he woods. After writing his wife a aln letter, in which he told her what was ,bout to happen, giving directions as to is wishes after death, and pouring ont L volume of love for her and their chil Iren, lie ran the chain round a tree, Irew it through the large ring at the md, and then wound the other en Lround his ankle so tight that it would iot slip over the foot, locked it with the ock, and threw the key far beyond his eachi. The body was found two lays Lfter, still chained to the tree. There vas all the evidenco necessary to show lie horrible death from hydrophobia. he ground was torn up to the full length >f the chain, the nails of the ingers vrenchied off, and all hisfront teeth out in crathing and biting the tree, and every bread of clothing oft' his body. The hod' vas dread fully lacerated with these, the maly weap ons the tmadmuan could un.e.

'"Arnold was originally from Talla lega, Alabama, where he married1, and vhere his widow has many friends and 'elatives." An Old Tragedy Revived. Thme Princess Caroline, of Denmark, vhio recently died in her eighty-eighth rear, was a seconid cousin to Queen Vic oriai. Them deceased Priness was5 the laughter of King Frederick VT., of D~en nark, and the wife of Prine Ferdinand, >f the same house. She had been widow since 1863. 11cr father's nother was the Princess Caroline Ma ilda, of England, and~ a sister of George [IT. She was born in 1 751, andl marriedl *vhen only fifteen to Christian VIT., King of Demnark. In 1 768 she became lhe mother of thme father of the lady who aus just dliedl. Introduced wheni very 'ounig into at dissolulte court, shte was idd~y and impilruident, but, as shie always )rotested, not guilty of infidelity to 'ier husband. Shte was very pop ilar, except with thme Quien dlow iger and another beldamne of thea roryal house. Theay .were aso - lut ists ini theory, while the young; Quteeni favxored a representative goventment and raiisedl Struenisee, thie Court Phlysiiant, to the position of Prnimo Miniister. Shte showed him many favors anid was doubt less fair from discreet. Finially thie dlow igers ando their tools induced the weak minded King to bielieve thatt his wife hasd betrayed hinm. She was obviously more fond of thie brillianit young Minister thtan of her besotted spouse, bitt, as shie claimed they were onily friends. Never thieless, Struensee wvas arrested ,Januaary 16, 1772, and, with his friend Bh-and, soon after beheaded. Hie died p~enitentt ly, acknowledging his worldliness aidl other follies, though he nmade ito 'ontf( 5 sion of the main charge. Thei Queen was takeni into custody at the same time, andio wouhld have been exected also, had not the British Embilassadlor interposed. As it was, she was kept ini captivity duir mng the remainider of her sh ort anid un happy life, which enided May 10, 1775. A pathetic letter addressed by her to lher brothier George III. is empl'mtic in her asser tion of her innocence. It is gen erally believed that sho wrote the truth, -line innati G~azette.

Kate Yale's Marriage. "If ever T marry," Katie Yale us.ed to say, half lin jest, half ineariest-"If ever I marry, the happy mian- or the unhltappy oie, if you pleasHe'-h1a! ha! sha1tll b(! a r)sl-[)oU )oYsCsmg these three qnalifications: 'First, a fortune. "Secold, good looks. "And thirdly, common sense. "I mention the fortune first, becattse I think it tho most ieedful and desirable qlualification of the three. Although I could never think of marrying a fool, or a man whose ugliness I would be ashalled of; still I think to talk sense for the 0110 and shine for the other, with plenty of money, would be preferable to living1 obscurely with a handsome intelli gent miai-to whom economy might be necessary. I do not know how much of this seiti mont came from Katie's heart. She un doubtedly indulged lofty ideas of atation and style-for her education in the duties and aims of life had been do fielit, or rather erroneous; but that she was capablo of deeper, better feelings 110110 doubted, 'who had over obtained evenI a partial glimpse of her true wo man 's nature. And the time arrived at length, when Ktie was to take that all importan__ t step of which shte had1( often spokeni so lightly; whten shte was toJ de'monstrate to her l1riendts how muiich oif her heart was in the wordls wVe have quloted. At the enhanttting atge of eighteen she had many suitors; but as she niever gave a seious't thought to more than two, we will follow her~ examlo, discarding all except tho~se favored ones, and consider their relative claims. If this were another than a true story I shouJtld ctinitily use an artist's privi ege, and1( atim to p~rod~uce anl efet b~y mainhg at strong conitrat b etween) these two favored individuals. If I could have my way, One should 1)0 a poor genius andi somewhat of a hero; the other a weatlthiy fool and somewhat of a knave. But tihe truth is: Ounr poor genius was not much of a genmus, nor very poor, either. He was bJy plrC5ofeso a teach)er of music, and ho could live very comfortably in exercise thereof--without tihe most distant hope, however, of ever attaining to wealth. Moreover, Frank Minot possessedl ex cellent qualities, wvhich entitled him to h)e called by discreet elderly p~eole a "fine character;" by his companions a "noblie, goodl fellow;" and by the ladies generally a ''darling." Katie could not help loving Mr. Frank, and he knew it. lie was certain she p~referred his society even to that of Mr. Wellington, whom alone lhe saw fit to honor with the a ppellation of a rival. This Mr. Wellington (his companions called him "dtuko") was 1no idiot or hump back, as~ I could have wished him to be, ini orIder toJ make a good story. On the 'ontrary, lhe was a man of sense, educa tionh, good looks, andi fine manners; and there wats no(thing of the knave about him, that I could over assortain. Besides this, his income was sufficient to enable him to live superbly. Also he was considered two or three degrees handsomer than Mr. Frank Minot. Therefore, tihe only thing on which Frank had to depend was the pow'.r he possessed over Katie's sympathies and affections. The "duke"-although just the man for her in every sense, being blessed with a fortune, good looks, and comimon sense--had never been ab~le to diraw these out; and the amiably conlceitedl Mr. Frank was not willing to bielieve that site woumld sult er mere worldly considera tions~ to control the aspirations of the heart. HI owever, she said to him 0one day, when lhe pressed her to dlecidle his fatoe she saidl to him with a sighi: "Ohl, Frank! I am sorry we have ever met.!" "Sorry ?" ''Yes--for we musitt part nowJ ' "Part ?" repeatedl Franik, turning pale. it was evidlenit he had not expected this. "Yes-ye's," said( Katie, casting dlown her eyes with another piteoius sigli. Frank Bat by her side. He placed his arm around her waist, without heeding her feeble resistanuco: he lowered his Vvice, and talkvd to her until shte he, the proud Kfatio-wept-wept bit terly. "Katie." said he, then, with a burst of passion, "I know you love me! But, you are proud -ambitious-selfish! Now, if you would have me leave you, say the word, an1d I go!" "Go!" murmured Katie, very feebly --"go!" "You have decided ?" whispered Frank. "lI have!" "Then, love, farewell!" He took her hand, gazed a moment tenderly and sorrowfully upon her beau tiful, tearful face; then clasped her to his bosom. She permitted the embrace. She even gave way to the impulse of the instant, and twinled her anns about his neck, but in a moment her resolution came to her aid, and she pushed him from her with a sigh. "Shall I go ?" he articulated. A feeble "yes" fell from her quivering lips. And an instant later she was lying upon the sofa, sobbing and weeping pas sionately-alone. To tear the tenacious root of love out of her heart had cost her more than she could have anticipated; and the certain ty of a golden life of luxury proved but a poor consolation, it seemed, for the sac rifice she had made. She lay long upon the sofa, sobbing and weeping passionately. Gradually her grief appeared to exhaust itself. Her breath came more regular and calm. Her tears ceased to flow, and at length her eyes and cheeks were dry. Her head was pillowed on her arm, and her face was half hidden in a flood of beauti ful curls. The struggle was over. The agony was passedi Shie saw Mr. Wellington enter, and arose cheerfully to receive him. His manners pleased'her; his sta tion and fortune fascinated her more. He offered her his hand. She accepted it. A kiss scaled the engagement-but it was not such a kiss as Frank had given her, and she could not repress a sigh. There was a magnificent wedding. Splendidly attired, dazzling the eye with everything around in the atmosphere of fairy lane, Katie gave her hand to the man her ambition-not her love-had chosen. But certainly ambition could not have made a better choice. Already she saw herself surrounded by a magnificent court, of which she was the acknowl. edged and admired queen. The favors of fortune were showered upon her; sie floated txrionaly npon the smooth and glassy wave of a charmed life. Nothing was wanted in the whole cir cle of her outward existence. to adorn it and make it bright with happiness. But she was not long in discovering that there was something wanting within her own breast. Her friends were numerous; her hus band tendcr, kind andl loving; but all tihe affetions sihe enjoyed could not fill her lhe'art. She had once felt .its chords of symn p~athy moved by a skillful touch; sihe had known the heavenly charnm of their deep1, dlelicious hiarmtony; and~ now they were silent, motionless, muffled so to s1)eak in silks and satins. These chords still and soundl~less, her heart wa's deadl; not the less so b'cauise it hatd beenm killed by a golden shaft. Having known and felt the life of sympathy in love, shte could not but mourn for it, unconsoled by tihe life of luxury. In short, Katie in time became mnagniicently miserable, spIln didly unhappy. Th en a chmange became applarenlt inl her husband. Hie couild not longer re -main I lind to the fact that his love was not returned. Hie sought the conmpanly of those whose gayety might lelad him I to forget the sorrow andl despair (of htis soul. This shiadow of joy 'was unsatisfactory however, and~ imnpelledl by powerful lon. imgs for love, he went astray to warm his heart by a strange fire. Katie sawv herself now in the midlst of a gorgeous desolation, burning with a thirst uniconquerable by gollen st reams, that flowed alroundl~ her; p)anting with a hunger, not oh the food of flattery couldl aipp>ase. -i he reproached her husband for desert ing her thus; and he answered with an gry and~ dlesperate taunts of deception, and a total lack of love, which smote her heart heavily. " You do not care for me," he cried; "then why should you complain that I bestow elsewhere the affections you have met with coldness?" "But it was wrong, sinful," Katie re monstrated. "Yes, I know it!" said her husb~and, fiercely. "It is the evil fruit of an evil seed. And who sowed that seed? Who gave me a hand without a heart ? Who became a sharer of my fortun',, but gave me no share in sympathy--who devoted me to the fate of a loving, unloved hums b~and ? Nay, do not weep, andl unclasp your hau da, and sigh and sob in such desperati.>n of impatience--for I say nothing you do not deserve to hear." "Very well," said Katie, calming her self; "I will not complain. I will not say your reproaches are undeserved. Bit granting that I am the cold, deceitful thing you call me--you know that this state of things can not continue." "Yes, I know it." "Well?" Mr. Wellington's brows gathe~rd (lark ly; his eyes flashed with determination; his lips curled with scorn. " I have made up my mind," said he, "that we should not live toigethmer any longer. I am tired of being called the( hushand of the splendid Mrs. Welling ton; I will move in my circler, you shial shine in yours. I shall place no restraini on your actions, nor shall you on mine WVe will ba free." "But the world I" shrieked Katio trem bling. "The world will admire you the same -and what more do you desire?" asked her husband bitterly. "The marriage of hands, and not of hearts, is a mock ery. Few know the conventional men ing of the term husband and wife; but do you know what it should mean? Do you feel that the only true union is that of love and sympathy? Then, enough of this mummery I Farewell! I go to consult friends about tio termsof separa tion. Nay, do not tremblo and cry, and cling to mo now-for I shall be liberal to you. As much of my fortune shall bo yours as you desire." He pushed her from him. She fell upon the sofa. From a heart torn with anguish she shrieked aloud: "Frank ! Frank! why did I sond you from me? Why did I sacrifice love and happiness to such a fato as this ? Why was I blind till sight brought me mis ery?" She lay upon the sofa sobbing and weeping passionately. Gradually her grief appeared to exhaust itself; her headlay peacefully oni her arm, over which wept her dishevelled tresses until, th a start, she cried: "Frank! oh, Frank, como back I" "Here I am," said a soft voice by her side. She raised her head. Sho opened her astonished eyes, Frank standing beforo her. "You havo been asleep," ho sai(l, smiling kindly. "Asleep?" "And dreaming, too, I should say not pleasantly, either." "Dreaming?" murmured Katie; "and is it all a dream?" "111 hope so," replied Frank, taking her hand. "You could not mean to send ine from you so cruelly, I know! I waited in your father's study, wiero I have been talking to him all of ai houir. I came baick to plead my cause opeo more -and found you here whero I left you aSleel)." " Oh, what a horrid (ireaml!" nitrmuired Katie, rubbing her eyes4. 'It wasso like a terrible reality, that T shudder now to think of it.. I thought I was married!" "And would that, bo so horrible?" asked Frank. "1 holupe then you did not dre'tamil You Were mariedif'- to Ine!" "No I thought L gave my hand, witli out Imv he-art."
