S~ew --Et " DEVOTED TO POLITICS, MORALITY, EDUCATION AND TO THE (AENERAL INThEET OF TE COUNTRY. v D. F. BRADLEY PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, OCTOXI. O. 5. NEW86LEANIN88. Ex-Governor Warmoth is now one o Louisiana's largest sugar planters, ani he says the sugar crop will fall off full; one-bAlf. The Mobile press indignantly howl a the published reports that the city is oi the decay. They assert that the citU Mobile is fast improving. The cotton crop of South Carolinj will unquestionably be short as con pared with let year's crop, but there i some reaun to hope that the loss wil riot be as great as generally supnosed. It is sait the Pensacola railroad hae Otc largest pair of track scales in Amer lca, which are 106 feet long, and can weigh three car's at once loaded with spar timber. Marion (Ala.) Standard: A Perry county woman, whose arms are cut of] just below the elbow, threads her needle by sticking it in her dreb and tuk ingthe thread between her two stunips of arms and forcing it through the eye of the needle. She does neat sewing, hoes corn well and can pick fifty or sixty pounds of cotton per day. Arkansas Democrat: The cotton vrop of Arkansas is much smaller than it was last year. But it must he renein bered that we lost a large portion of last * year's crop by bad weather, and much of what was gathered was of a very in ferior quality and sold for a small price. If the weather continues favorable for picking there will be only a small dif fercuce in the amount saved as com pared with last year. Mobile Register: 'lhere seems to be a fatal disease among hordes and mules in this neighborho)d. Within the forty-eight hours ending at dark last night eight horses and five mules have died. We also understand from Capt. P. F. Alba that he has several horses under treatment for the same disease, which is an aflection of the throat. Some apprehension among the owners of valuable animals exists for fear that the 4 disease may become epidemic. The State Virginian: The rains that have fallen in the past few days in nearly every portion of Virginia and North Carolina will benefit the grass and set the streams to running once more, but they come too late to help the tobacco crop. Indeed, some o I the most experianced tobacco planters are of the r , opinioni that the rain, ceming so late ne it did, will do the crop more harm than ,godd. But the tobacco raisers will have th consolation of knowing that the de -ficiency in quantity will be made up in a measure. The Madisonian : There is a negro in Morgan county, Lewis Jordon, who is thoroughly conversant with the rudi ments of the Latin language, knows a smattering of French, and is fast learn ing to read and parse Greek. He is a capital scholar in English grammar, and is ready in mathematics. He has ac quired this extraordinary amount of learning without the assistance of a prne ceptor, and seems charmed when under some great mental task. He hasn't an intelligent face, but rather the reverse, .appearing at times silly in the extreme. He Is about thirty-five years old, and feels confident that he can master sev eral languages before his death. He laughs at you when you ask if he could not progress faster if placed under a competent teacher. He is humble, po lite and strictly reliable. Knoxville Tribune: One of the most wonlderful phenomena that have come under our observation in a long time is a natural flow of gas fromi the earth, that burns with a brilliant flame whenI figniited. The spot where this gas es capes is about one mile from Oliver's Springs, in Anderson county, and im pregnates the atmosphere for yards around with the odor. The gas seems to come from a Spring on Coal creek, near the 'water, but for yards up the mountain side there runs a vein about a foot wide, which has been fired aind at times burns brilliantly. A t the end of the vein, on the bank of the creek, the gbhs burns with a bright yellow hlame and emits considerable heat. A pipe is sontethhkes introduced in the spring and at a distance of several yards burns readily. A traveler passing a few daya ago stuck in a small pipe in the vein, put two rocks, one on opposite bides of the pipe, and eboiled tea from the flame that was prodluced on igniting. The gau evidently comes from a coal formation su-1 is a niatural curiosity Persons go TOPICS OF THE DAY. CHARLEs y. GUITEAU will plead in sanity. THE Jews in Russia are organiging for self-protection. Rownrr has retired from the track with $50,000 to his credit, AMnHAN horses are carrying off all the honors in England this year. THE country is responding liberally to the suffering peoplo of Michigan. A PARISIAN clothing house is runsing its sewing-machines by electricity. ONE of Detroit's tough citizens uses nitro-glycerine to blow his nose with. PRIVATE board, as a rule, has advanced one dollar a week in nearly all the cities. A ST. Louis negro committed suicide throngh grief at the death of the P1resi dont. TiE public debt was reduced ov-r twelve millions of dollars during Sep teiber. SIXTY-EIGHT miles of black cloth were used to drape the department buildings in Washington. TRAvELING by balloon would be the better and more profitable way iii Mis souri and Arkansas. TiE rice crop of the United States this year is estimated at 1,500,000 bush elm, an abundant crop. REPORTS of the nut crop say hickory nuts are more plentiful than ever, but. ternuts a failure and acorns short. GTrEAU was pleased' to hear of the President's death because it put him out of pain. This is magnaminity, indeed. WESTON, of pedestrian fame, Is in the employ of the Church of England Tem perance Society. How men do drift about. QUEEN CHRISTINE, of Sweden, said that she loved men, " not because they are men, but because they are not wo men.' OwING to the change of administration William Walter Phelps, United States Minister to Austria, has asked to be re called at once. EHERE is little doubt but that the prosecutions of the Star Route con tractors wvill go right on as if nothing had occurred. WE ANNOUNCE, with a spasmodic shiver, that large hoops are being adopted by the leaders of fashion i tihe large cities. Girls, to your tents !. UNLEss some terrible penalty is at tached to attempts on the lives of pub lic men, we may expect an increase of crime in that direction. HARISN, tihe "boy preacher," charges $100 a week for his services. There is no telling what he will charge whieighe gets to be a man. MASON, who shot at Guiteau, will not be photographed, and pei-sons writing for his picture will save themselves time and r-.oney by taking notice. THE late rains over the country have started a rapid growth of grass, and the consumption of hay, for thle time b~eing, will stop to a great extent. No MAN, perhaps, was ever in a more trying position than President Arthur, and all well-meaning citizens can lbut hope lhe will be equal to the emergency. Tnis Detroit Free Press states there are 58,000,000- gallons of whisky stored in Kentucky. What a high old time there will be when people find out where it is. AUGUST B1~rMONT, the New York banker, who spends his summers at Safatoga, pays $1,000 a week for hoard for himself and family of 'half a dozen persons. THe number of days from the time of Garfleld's election to his death (includ ing those two days) was "329." Were this a superstitious age, the fact might not be regarded merely as a ooincidence. URItNG the past twelve years it has cost $302,345 for "furnishing and re pairing " the Executive Mansion a~t Waishington,, and yet we read that the furniture is oMr and must be replaced. The amount does look rather stingy. IT SEEMS to be the oase that the Mor mons supply the White River Utes with ammunition, and it is rumored nlow that, having nlenty of that artien thoy wml refuse to stay on their new reservation. it would, perhaps, be to tho interest of the Mormons to endeavor to cultivate Uncle Sam's good opinion. Ex-1REstItN' AYES seems to have an enterprise on hand about which the )ublic know very little. He owns a farm of 500 acres near Bismarck, D. T., which cost him from sixty to seventy-five cents an acre, worth now $15 per acre, and the past year a wheat crop on it yielded him a profit of $15,000. . HEits is the new Cabinet as it is or ganised in some of the New York pa pers : Secretary of State, U. S. Grant ; Secretary of the Treasury, Levi P. Mor ton ; Secretary of the Interior, Senator Jones; Secretary of the Navy, Judge Settle; Secretary of War, Robert Lin coln ; Postmaster General, Senator Fre linghuysen ; Attorney G'neral, Geo. S. Boutwell. YOUNG men should take courage. Several years ago Jenny Henry, a young girl with scarcely enough to sustain her, settled on a tract of land at Ash Creek, Kansas, and by economy and hard work, now owns a farm under a good state of cultivation upon which there is a com fortable house, well-furnished, and other valuable improvements. She will make a living for some man. FARM products, on the average, are a third higher than they were a year ago. Within a few months wheat has advanced from 87 cents to $1.50, and corn from 45@047 to 76@80c. Flour has advanced $2 on the barrel. Potatoes that last March were selling at $2.25 per barrel are now bringing $3.35. What price potatoes will bring by next March we do not like to predict. They will be high anough evidently for those who are con pellel to buy. Ex-MINxsrEn ICRISTIANcY doubtless feels somewhat discouraged. First, a divorce suit unsettles his nerves, then comes ia challenge to fight a duel, and before lie recovers from the shock, bir glars entevr his apartments and steal $3,000 worth of diamonds that had been given him for safe-keeping. This iS about the point reached when thoughts of suicide crowd themselves one upon another. TIrE Sexton of Lakeview Cemetery, Cleveland, avhere General Garfield is buried, says that one day last fall tle President-elect and his uncle, Thoimas aarfleld, since dead, and buried in the cemetery, came out to inspect the mon ument of the Garfield family. The old uncle was a jolly fellow, and, while talking, said, laughingly, to the nephew : "Now, James, if you should be so per verse as to die, with so many honors tulck upon you, here is plenty of room .to bury you, and a place left on the stone to inscribe your name." WE HAVE another terror llow ini antici pation, that of cholera. This disease seems to recur at mntervals of seventeen years. It visited us in 1849, and again in 1866. The. cable announes that it has broken out among the Mohanancdan pilgrims in Mecca, and also in the iRus-. Austrian frontier, two distant point~s onl .the road from the East. It mayv be that this is ominous of its return here in 1883, and as sanitary lawvs are its only preventive, it is essential that they be strictly heeded. CORN is no0w woi't~h eighty (cnts the b~ushei, and the prospects are, that it will be higher. Wh~en money wais chi(apJ and corn brought one dollar the buishll the fact was recorded as an event wort hiv a place in the history of commierce ; but wihat shall we say now, with money at par, of tihe price which this product promises to attain. The d (ifference hotw ev'er, betwveen then and now is. that then tile high price attained was owing to the cheapness of mioney and1( ani un usual demand ill the markets, whereas the present status is a result of the scarcity of the corn prodhuc'. It is of little benefit to the farm'r how high ,orn is if he have none to sell. T1HE Cincinnati (GuZet(/ pa~ys the fol lowing tribute to the integrity oif Jav Oooke : The examplle which Jlay (kooke presents of recovery from bankruptcy to) honorable solvency, after having been hounded from wealth to p)overt~y by heartless and undiscriminating persecu tion, is not equaled probably in finani cial l-itory. Every lover of integrity and personal worth will rejoice to know that the great dispenser of greenharks and salesman of Government bonds ini the hour of the Nation's fiery triail i.s likely to pass the evening of his days in affluence in the elegant home he pro vided in days of affluence, wvhiich was cheerfully surrendered to sati-fy both needy and rapacious creditors, but is now recovered by his recuperated meanis to the use of the worthyv owner. ta-r r Vus.IsasoN, a C'olor,io ouitlhi'w who wva' kindly nsistaed ''. vor the range" by the vigilants, was highly con nected in Indiana, an well as with the limb from which he mde his last ap )earane in public. His gradl(ulcle was Joseph Wri'ight, who was Governor for several terms, then United States Sena tor, and afterward Minister to Berlin. His grandfather was for many Years a member of the Indiana Legislature. His father was a cousin of the Hon. .Tames F. Harlin, of Iowa. Bert had for sey eral years figured as a border bar-room hero, and the murder for which his lifo was taken wan wanton, brutal and cow ardly. When about to die, however, his bravado proved trustworthy. lie ad justed the noose himself, remarking, "Boys, I'll help you all I can," and coolly kicked over the chair on which he stood. FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS. WHEN reduced to extremity by hun ger, the wolf will swallow mud in order to allay the uneasy sensations of his stomach. TrERE is a species of crow in Flor ida that gives vent to a series of haw I haws I in exact imitation of the human voice I A WILD elephant may generally Ie tamed, so as to be conducted from place to place unfettered, in about six months. IN the Guildford Endowed Grammar School, in England, where the school master is held responsible for every vol ume, which, if lost, he is bound to re place, one master, to decrease his risk, carefully packed all the books inder the floor, vhere they proved a banquet for the rats and mice. TnE curious library of old Samuel Pepys, the well-known digrist, is im prisoned in its original book-cases at Magdalene College, Cambridge. No one can gain admission to it except in the company of two Fellows of the col. lege, and, if a single book is lost, the whole collection goes to a neighboring college. Tu Norwegian lemming is an animal about the size of a mouse. They live under the stones in summer, under the snow in winter. They hiss and bite. About once in ten years they migrate in large armies. They march in a straight ime. They cross lakes and rivers. They go straight through hay-stacks rather than go around. Nothing stops them, Aot fires, cascades nor swamps. If a man stands in their way they will jump at him as high as his knee. If struck they will turn around and bark and bite like a dog. Foxes, lynxes, owls, hawks and weasels will follow them and destroy large niinbers of them, but it doos not check them. They continue their course until they reach the sea into which they plunge, as persistent and progressive as ever, until the waves exterminate them. THE microscope shows a variation in the thickness of human hair from the 1-250th to the 1-600th part of an inch; but, notwithstanding such fineness, it is a massive cable in comparison with other fibers. Thus the thread of the silk-worm is many times finer, being from the 1-1,700th to the 1-2,000th of an inch. This, however. is nothink to the slenderness of the spider's thread, which has been found in some instanc~es to be no more than 1-30,000th of an inch in diameter. Tho fibers yielded by the vegetable kingdom are also of astonish ing minuteness. Thus, every fiber of flax is found to be composed of a bundle of other fibrils, which are about 1-2,500th of an inch in diameter. Simi lar fibers obtained from the pineapple plant have been ascertained to be no more than 1-5,000th or oven 1-7,000th of an inch in diameter. IN the British House of Lords Lord Brougham once mentioned two some what-remarkable facts showing the ne cessity of having a safe place for the deposit of wills. The first case is one in which one of his noble friends, as heir at-law, lost, and another of his noble friends, as a devisee gained, ?30,000 a year. How the first Iost it, and the last gained it, wats by a will being found in an old rusty box, in an old traiveling carriage, and which, therefore, might have ben very naturally lost by acci dent or destroyed by ignorance. The second case was one, also, in which some of his noble friends were con cerned, and the sum in question was no less than ?160,000. This sum would have been entirely lost for the purposes for which it was intended if the inquiries relative to the existence of a will with respect to it had been instituted in win ter instead of in the suimmer. The will was searched for everywhere, but could nowhere be found, until, at last it was discovered in a grate, and stuffeAi like a piece oIf waste paper through the bars; if it had been winter instead of summer, in all pro'bability when the fire had been lighted it would have been destroyed. " GAru" says that a public man at Long Branch told him that when Zach Chandler hciinl of tho nomination of Lincoln in 1860, he began to curse in a terrible manner, and said that Lincoln was a muiserale clown, anid that Seward was the only man in the country fit to be elected andw who could have carried it. Somebodly spoke up at the telegraph om~cE, where this talk was going on, and said. "' Yu und1lI~erate Mr. Lincoln ; lhe is a inmi or int~eet ;a fine lawyer ; an ex (cllen1t debalterOI, anid a man of decisioni of (lbaraciter anid fir'nmess of purpose."

She wore a sage-green polonaise, shirred up behind the back, And several plaits with gusset loops Were henistitched in with black. The drab corsage-that fair comage Was biased down before; The skirt was airnply fiounced in griy; And barely touched the floor. A colar-band of crepe do chine, Or Batinot ecru, Just reached unto her dainly waist, And was of mauvish hue. Her hat-Lut, no, an angel's pen Were nee.led on the earth To paint, that, bat and costunie as They jujst wrrived from, Worth. 'like Isifiuential Wouuaan. We generally picture her as a leader -f fashion, stately and beautiful, the ceiter of her coterie. Her moral qiali ties are not considered at all ; and that is where we err. When the rich wonan can sh1ow to the world only a life of fashion and idleness, she is deserving of open censure and disgrace, so long Us there are hungry bodies, minds or souls crying for some of her ainildance. To whom much is given much is required. Let plillie opinion mete ont its wratlh of censure upon the fashionable, idle voman, who is a disgrace to her sex because of her aimless, useless life. Let the expression " best society" mean those who do good deeds, who leave tle world happier and better for having lived, instead of those who have been most idle aid aimless. The " influeintial women" of every community are those who are doing and daring, that tie world miy he niade purer and better, whether they are fashionable or uinfaslionable it matters not.. A Wonirk's AlKe. A case was decided not long ago be. fore the appeal court at Metz, in Ger many, which shows how a lady's age is a matter entirely within her own-control. Fraulein Catherine Mal was engaged to a desirable partner, to whom she had1 imprudently declared her ago at six years less than it really was. As soon as the moment arrived for producing the certificate of birth, she was aware that her little deception would be discovered, and she feared that the match would be broken off. She, therefore, took the liberty of altering the official document so as to make it correspond with the statemenit already made. The cere mony took place, and the husband was duly untited to a lady whom he believed to be q.uite a jeunc! ingenuc. Unforta nately, the certificate, in passing thr'ogh so.mle office, happened to bo minutely examined by one the clerks. The bride was charged with the oflense of falsifty ing a public document, and condemned to spend, if not her honeymoon, at least three of the first months of her married life, in plison. She had tie courage to appeal from the sentence, and cause the case to be argued out before the court of Metz, which reversed the decision of the inferior tribunal, and acquitted the lady on tle groundv that she did not in tendl to commit an illegal act, but had bieen actuated only by "female vanity." larce Maideuns and dae Cenus~. Th'le Misses McFarlanes are three maiden ladies-sisters. It seems thes one wvould niot trust the other to see the censlusH paper lilled upl, HO they agreed to brmng it to me to fill it in. "Would you kindly fill in this cenus1 paper for mue ? " said Miss McFarlanie. " My sisters will look over and give you t heir pamrticulars b~y and1( by." Nowv, Miss McL araane is a very nice ladly, though Mrs. Cameron tolls me she has been calling very often at the manse sinlce tihe minister lost his wife. Be that a it may, I said to her that I would be hiappy to fill up the paper, and asked her mn tihe meantime to give her own p~ar ticulars. When it came to the age col umn, she played with her boot on the carp~et, andd drew the black rib~bons of her silk bag through her fingers, and wvhispered : "You can say four-and thirty, Mr. McLauchlin." " All right, ma'am," says I, for I knew she wvas four and~-thirty at any rate. Then Miss Suisani camne over-that's the second sis ter, really a handsome young creature, with, fine ringlets and curls, though she is aL little tender eyed andl wears specta ('les. Well, when we came to the age colunmn Miss Susan played with one of her ringlets, and looked in my face sweetly, and said; " Mr. McLauchilin, what did Miss McFarlane say ? My sister, you know, is considerablhyoldebr than I - am-there was a brothe ir be "Quite so, my dlear Miss Susan," said I; "' but you see the bargain was thast each of you was to state your' own age." "Well." said Miss Susan, still playing with her ringlets, "you can say-age, 84 years, Mr. McLauchulin." In a little whlile the youngest sisterl came in. "' M~iss McF'arlane," said ise, "'Senlt mie over for the censusli paper." "Oh, no, my dear," says I ; "' I can not parlt with thle paper." " Well, then," saidl she, ''just enter my name, too, Mir.

Sho had been a favorite pupil of mine, and I was rather pileased with what hoad happenen. "But what," I aslwd Ier, " has all this to do with the census ?" " Oh, just this," continued Miss R. bina. " I hAd no reason to conceal my age, as Mr. Fraser knows it exactly, since he baptized me ! Ho was a young creature then, only three-and-twenty; so that's just the difference between us." "Nothing at. all, Miss Robina," said 1, " nothing at ill; not worth mention ing." " In this passing and changeful world," salid Miss Robina, " three-and-twenty years are not much, after all, Mr. Mc Lauchlin." "Much?" said I. "Tuts, my dear, it's nothing-just indeed what should be. " I was just 31 last birthday, Mr. McLauehlin," said Miss Robina, "and the minister said the last time he called that no young lady should take the cares anc responsihlties of a household upon herself itil she wat--well, eight and-twenty ; and he added that 31 was late enough."
