ISoth cull iinpcnitivcly for reform. The canvass has been imiiited. however. and tin- issues are seemingly made uponcertain personal Jim s. W'liat. in my humble opinion, should have invited a temperate discussion by the best thought and ex peri'-nee of our State, has been unwisely forced into u purely personal is.->ue. marked by misrepresentation and invective. Disguise it as we may, there are large questions in South Carolina to be wisely solved, pressing public matters evolved by the slow growth of many years, either originating in antiquated precedent, or founded in an importe 1 constitution. To such high plane this year's canvass should have lai n raised and might have been elevated. but has not been: only an enforced personal campaign is in progress. Nevertheless, its general direction is toward reform, and the only prop( r course now. in mv opinion, is to surround it w ith every conciliatory in!hu nee and wisest counsel. The ultimate result cannot bring harm to South (V'olina, if a prudent management of the canvass is mutually agreed upon, \\:th recognition of the fact that conciliatory language is better than unmerited abuse. The excitement, of the canvass will presumably run its course, and the September Convention will finally decide fov the whole party. Then will come a season of quiet and rest, a time for calm reflection, which, wisely used, can be utilized to the benefit of the party and the State. You well aware that I have not at itu.v tmil' been mi active candidate for Governor. My position, publicly stated, has been, that I would take no step t<> that end. and yet I have h It. and have frankly said, that I would not decline a service-call which I felt came from a majority of the parly, in responding to which I might oe useful. Under the circumstances, and in the present condition of the campaign in ttie State. I would ask that you discontinue the mention of my name for Governor in your valued journal. With renewed thanks to my Itock Hill friends, whose good wishes I value, and in the hope that unoflicialiv I may be of use to our party and people, at all times 1 am yours respectfully, W\i. A.

Stanton, niateofthesclioon er Addie SpaetTcr. while fishing for bass three miles of St. Augustine drew his line and found entangled therein the strangest creature ever caught in the waters of this const. It is about six feet long, pure white and sealeloss. The head and face are wonderfully human in shape and feature. The shoulders are well out lined, and much resemble those of a woman, and tile breasts arejwell delined and show considerable develop meat, while the hips and abdomen continue the human resemblance. It has four flippers, two of which are placed at the lower termination of the I) xly, uiul give ouo the impression that nature made all effort to supply t lie strange creature with lower limbs. When it was drawn on board the schooner it pave utterance to a low, moaning cry 'like the sobbing of a child. Mr. Stanton will present his mermaid to the Smithsonian institu t ion.? Chicieo? Tribune. Gun Itosser's Suggestion. In a letter to the liichmond (YaA Dispatch. < ti n. Thomas L. Rosser writes: "Cien. II. l'l. Lee. Virginia's greatest son, has bee 11 honored by tho people of the South without re serve, and a majestic and beautiful monument has been erected by loving hands to his glorious memory. At the base of that grand structure are four reservations?one for Albert Sydney Johnston, one for Stone wall Jackson, one for A. l\ Hill, and one for J. K. IS. Stuart. These groat, good and heroic men should be pla oed at their post around (leneral Lee at once. Three of them were his ii' utonnnts, and aie inseparably bound ii)> with him in his military life, and he looks lonely without them. Now. I wi h to app al through the cohunu-> of your paper ( which reaches ill! \ lrgnunus) to tin- ciivaJry corps i 1 ilie Anuy of Northcin Virginia, ashing flmt superb command to place our great general, J.

The I hspateh suggests that the proper way to carry out this scheme would b; to form an organization and elect otlicers, including treasurer to receive contributions. -A boy named Dews performed a dung"rous feat in West Orange, N.

The contractor for the drain that has been laid to carry oil'the standing wutcr in the lots on \ alley road wanted to de termino whether or not the drain was free from obstructions, and offered the lad a small sum to go through it. The pipe is is inches in diameter, is laid s f< et underground, and is l.'juo feet 1 nig. Till1 boy accepted the oiler and entered the pipe. Half an hour later lie emerged safely from tin other end.

J living near this eit.v, gave birth to a eolt that had a lumpon its jaw which prevented it from sucking. The lump was cut oil", and on being opened was found to contain a lot of small-sized rattlesnakes. Mr. Ballard says the day after the mare was bred she was ?> bitten by a rattlesnake, but sutiered * no serious effect. The ipiestion that puzzles local scientists is by what means the rattlesnakes were propagated in the colt's jaw. Happy Women. What is it that makes women more smiling and happy looking than men? ^ We meet them on the ears, on the k, streets, in the country, by the sea \| shore, always smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes a dancing. Ah! the secret is they aim to please. It is an eifort in many instances for them to smile, and wore it not for a desire to look pleasing and nrettv manv would I a never smile a^^iin. Why? Because in a large majority of instances they don't feel like smiling. Tliey feel _ more like crying. With their nervous aches, weakness and hearing down 1 pains, life to them is ahurden.
