A RIVAL REVIVAL.
"Boss," said Parson Nicholas, "I seed a 1
avticle in yer paper what said dat no man
can get along in his business lessen he adver- :
1 ises. Now does you really put dat statement
down as a fack ?" 1
"Yes, old man, the statement, in a meas- 1
ure is true." *
"Yes, well I'se sorter tuck up dat notion '
myself. I wants ter succeed in my undertak- ;
ings, so I wants yer to sorter fix up a advertisement
fur me." J
"What do you want to advertise ?"
"Well, yer see I'se running a revival meeting
out here at de Moss Rock church, an' wid 1
all my energy an?what sorter prize is it when
yer pushes a thing ?"
"Enterprise."
"Yes, sab, dat's it. A good word, too lemrae
tell yer. Well, wid all my enterprise I 1
couldn't get de sinners to come up to de
mourner's bench. De sinners tries to splain
demselves by saying dat times is hard, and

around me sometimes and tries to crow ober
rae. Now ef dar is anything what makes me
feel limphatic?dat's anuder good word, boss,
I got it from a show man?it's fur a buck nigger
to shake his kinks round me."
"Jes state in yer paper that Parson Nicholas

And put in dis here olinchin' clause : 'Mourners
what come to dis bench is warranted ter

for a year."
"Will you put dat in ? Yes ? Much obliged
to yer. Say, boss, can't you fling in suthin
about dat nigger preacher ober de creek stealing
corn ? Dat's opposition. Jes say dat he
stole six bushels of corn from a white man.
No; come ter think about it, boss, don't say
nothin' about de cornj because dat was fore
we fell out and I was wid him at de time.?

A Dry Season?"Stranger' I take it," observed
an elderly resident the other day, as I
stopped and asked if there were any blackberry
trees around his way,
"I judged so. I was* a stranger myself
wlfln I fust kim here. That was in the summer
of '49. Hottest Summer ever known in
these parts."
"Any warmer than this V" I asked him.
"Summut, summut! That summer of '49
the cedar trees melted and run right along
the ground ! you notice how red that ere dust
is!"
"Pretty warm," I ventured.
"Why, sir durin' the summer of '49 we
kept meat right on the ice to keep it from
cookin' too fast, and we had to put chickens
in refringex-ators to get raw eggs."
"Where did you get the ice ?"
"We had it left over and kept it in b'ilin'
1 Voo cir Tho fprnnprafiirft nf h'il
in' water ijvas so much lower than the temperature
of the atmosphere that it kep' the ice
so cold th#t you could not touch it with your
finger!"
"Any thing else startling that season ?"
"That summer of '49? Well, I guess!
The Hackensack river began to b'ile airly
in June, and we didn't see the sky until October,
fer the steam in the air. And fish! fish !
They were droppin all over town cooked just
as you wanted 'em There wasn't anything
but fish until the river dried up!"
"What did you have then ?"
"The finest oysters and clams you ever
heard of.- They wjilked right ashore for water,
and they'd drink apple jack right out of the
demijohn! Yes sir. You call this hot! I
feel like an overcoat!"
"What is your business ?" I asked him.
"I am a preacher," he replied. "By the
way you wanted blackberry trees. Just keep
up the thumb haud side of the road until you
come to the pig pasture, and there you find
the trees. Climb upon my goose roost, and
you can knock down all the berries you want,
if you can find a pole long enough."?Brooklyn
Eayle. Rules
for Riding.?In mounting, face
the near side of the horse. The near side is
the side nearest to yourself. If you stand on
the right side of the horse, which is the wrong
side, when you mount, you will face the
crupper. Then everybody will know that your
name is Johann Gottlieb ErnSigefolger;
If you cannot mount from the ground, lead
the horse to a high fence, climb up on the
fence, say "whoa" two or three times,
and jump over the horse's ears. You will
light somewhere on his neck, an I will have
plenty of time to adjust yourself while the
J * il. . j _u
horse is running away, ivnocner memou ui
mounting, largely practiced by young gentlemen
from the city, is to ballance yourself on
one leg on the fence, and point the other leg
at the horse in the general direction of the saddle,
saying"whoa" all the time. The horse, after
this gesture has been repeated a few times,
backs away, pulls the alleged rider off the
fence and walks up and down the lane with
him at a rapid gallop. This gives the rider in
about ten minutes all the exersise he wants for
a week.
If by some miracle you manage to get in
the saddle, hold on with both hands, and say
"whoa." The faster the horse goes the tighter
you must hold on, and the louder you must
"holler." i
If you are from New York or Philadelphia
you will shorten the stirups until your knees
are on a level with your chin. Then as you i
ri<Je you will rise to your feet and stand in the
attitude of a man i>eering over a fence to look
for his dog, and then suddenly fall into the
saddle like a man who has stepi>ed on a banana
I>eel. This is the English school. It is
hard on the horse but considered very graceful.
A man cannot wear false teeth, however
and ride in this manner.?Burliiujton Hawkeye.
t$r "What's the matter now ?" asked a fashionable
Austin lady of her husband, who
seemed to be depressed.
"I'm feeling very badly. I'm afraid I'm
not long for this world," was the reply.
"Fiddle sticks."
"No! I'm in earnest. It will not be long
l>efore you will be walking to the grave-yard
behind my coflin."
"That's just where you are fooling yourself.
I'll ride in a carriage or else I'll not be in the
nrocession at all."
Such heartlessness made him so mad that he j
went to work and chopped up a cord of wood,
and now he feels strong enough to run for almost
any office in the gift of the people.?

Shipments of Oats.?Reference was made
the other day to the very large shipments of
red oats over the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta and the Columbia and Greenville
Railroads, to Charleston and various points
outside of the State. Mr. Caldwell, of the
railroad service, has just furnished me with
the movement of oats from the single station
Df Greenwood, by way of the Augusta and
Knoxville road, from June 10 to August 15.
The total shipments amounted to 36,133 bushsis,
or 1,192,396 pounds. Of this quantity
2,264 bushels were shipped to Charleston, 773
bushels to Savannah, 970 bushels to Athens,
and 32,124 bushels bo Augusta. The shipments
of oats over the Columbia and Greenville
road from the beginning' of the season to
July 27, amounted to 2,361,134 pounds. Of
this quantity 720,907 pounds were shipped to
Columbia, 334,943 pounds to Greenville, 262,143
pounds to Charleston, by the South Carolina
railway, and 197,914 pounds by the Atlantic
Coast Line, 169.019 pounds to Norfolk,
426,397 pounds to Baltimore, 52,792 pounds to
Richmond, 48,058 pounds to Augusta, 23,559
pounds to Wilmington, and 36,331 pounds to
Atlanta. Abbeville county has led the" State
in the shipment of oats, the shipments from
Ninety-six amounting to 1,106,2:13 pounds,
from Greenwood to 495,093 pounds, from
Hodge's to 254,417 pounds, and from Abbeville
to 178,428 pounds.
In 1876 the oat crop in Abbeville county was
very large, sothat it has grown t) be a proverb
in that section that "red rust proof oats and
Wade Hampton saved .South Carolina." The
gods are with us this year, for a heavy yield of
red oats in campaign years may always be
taken as an omen of Democratic success.?

Electricity of the Human Body.?
Most jieople are familiar with the "spark"
which may be produced under certain conditions
bv stroking the fur of a cat ; and trav
elers in Canada and other cold, dry countries
have witnessed the still m6re remarkable phenomenon
of the human body being turned into
a conductor of electricity and the possibility
of lightning the gas by merely placing one's
finger?given the necessary condition of electrical
excitement?near the gas jet, without
any other agency.
Mr. A. W. Murcheson, the African traveler,
gives some more startling facts. He states
that, one evening, when striking an African
native in a moment of anger, with a cowhide
whip, he was astonished to see sparks produced,
and more surprised to find that the natives
themselves are quite accustomed to the
phenomenon.
He subsequently found that a very light
touch, related several times under certain
conditions of bodily excitement and in certain
states of the atmosphere, would produce a succession
of sparks from the bodies of native
men as well as from native cattle. A lazy
negro, it seems, yielded none of these signs of
electricity?a rather unfortunate circumstance
for his more active brethren, who may possibly
come in for a share of undeserved dogging
from the hands of future travelers in search
of electrical phenomena among the human
race. We are not aware that these facts have
been recorded by other travelers, but they deserve
thorough sifting by competent observers.
The Mormon Question.?A Salt Mike
dispatch of the 1st instant says the Utah commissioners
have made appointments of 24
registers for 24 counties under the Edmunds
law. These appointments consist of seven
Gentiles, nine apostate Mormons and eight
Mormons. Judge Hodge, a Democrat and a
strong anti-mormon, received the appointment
for Salt Lake county. These registers have
the ap'Kunting of assistants for every precinct,
subject to the approval of the commission.
There is much dissatisfaction among the Gentiles
over the composition of the registers,
and they cannot see how the Commission can
rtifnrr.i tlia Terriinw unci nprfnrm the dlltv
for which they were sent there, by placing
Mormons in the responsible position of registers,
the duty of registers being to exclude
polygamists from the registration lists.
It is also stated that John Taylor, Geo. Q.
Smith and Joseph F. Smith, prominent Mormon
leaders, have issued an address to the
Mormon people, reciting the measures taken
by the general Government for. the suppression
of polygamy by means of what is known
as the "Edmunds law" and exhorting the
faithful to stand by and uphold the plural
marriage, which they say "is a part of our religion
and interwoven with our dearest and
holiest hopes connected with eternity."
The Trade of Charleston.?The annual
review of the trade of Charleston was
published in the News and Courier of the 1st
instant, and filled two pages of that sheet.
The review, which is comprehensive, shows
a marked improvement in the trade and mercantile
prosperity of the City by the Sea.
Crop returns are so favorable as to more than
com]>ensate for the disaster of last year. The
yield of wheat, oats and corn far surpasses
that of any previous season in South Carolina.
The business, for the city for the past year,
foots up $75,000,000 agaidst $71,000,000 last
year, notwithstanding the falling off in the
receipts owing to the diminished yield of the
last crop. The trade in naval stores, lumber
and phosphate rock exhibits a very heavy increase.
The factories of the city now number
13, employing 1,450 persons and a new
cotton factory with 20,000 spindles is nearly
ready to start. The condition of truck farming,
jobbing and railroad interest is more
prosperous than for many years past. The
city debt lias been reduced $302,300 during
the last year, and provision has already
been made for the payment of the installments
of the debt maturing in 1883 and 1804, while
any increase of the debt for any purpose is
prohibited by law.
Three kinds of light are produced during
thunder-stems, and known as forked lightning,
sheet lightning and ball lighting. Mr.
B. G. Jenkins, F. It. A. 8., contends that
only the first of these is true electricitythunder
storms, according to his view, being
manifestations of chemical rather than elecr.nnr/rvtr

ists in tlie earth's upper atmosphere and under
certain conditions is drawn into the mixture
of nitrogen and oxygen about us, the chemical
union of the hydrogen .-and oxygen causing
the second form of lightning, which appears
to be almost wholly flame among the clouds,
and is the form most frequently seen. The
thunder is not so much the noise of electric
discharge as the rejwrt of gas explosion. Hall
lightning is probably not electricity, but gas
in intense ignition. The harmlessness of the
last two seem to indicate their non-electric
character.
Easy Comes Easy Goes.?The finder of
hidden treasure, the heir of unclaimed estates,
the land owner who "strikes oil," the holder
of the prize ticket in the lottery, or any other
son of Adam who finds his pockets full of unearned
dollars, is in a position of peril all the
more dangerous for the reason that it is unknown
and unthought of. An honest shoemaker
of our acquantance, who made a good
living for himself and family by plying his
trade, a year ago received $1,000 arrears of
pension money. He was a sober man with no
vicious appetites to gratify; but he bought his
wife diamond ear rings, his daughter a piano,
and set himself up as a shoe merchant, instead
of a shoemaker. The sheriff sold the poor
fellow out last week. His debts will follow
him for years. This man is the type of thousands
of his fellows.? Philadelphia Record.

ijgr A lawsuit at Andover, Vt., involves indirectly
the right of a public school teacher to
read the Bible in school. Farmer Hazelton
didn't want his children to hear the Scriptures,
and so the prudential committee arranged
with the teacher to haye devotional
exercises a few minutes before school oi>ened
each morning, attendance being optional with
the pupils. Hazleton imforraed the committee
of his intention to stop the religious exer-,
cises entirely. With that end in view he ininstructed
his children to attend them, and to ,
get up and leave during the reading without
the consent of the teacher. This was done,
and the children were expelled. The case 1
will go the Court of Appeals.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM?1882.
The Democratic party of South Carolina, in
vn-itn rYmvonfinn nsapmlilprl rpnffirmirur the
principles and declarations of the .State plat-'
forms of 1870 and 1878, and their continued
devotion to the principles of the National
Democraciic party, and pledging to that party
their earnest co-operation and support, declare
the following principles as formulating
the policy of the South Carolina Democracy
in State and Federal affairs, and invite
the aid and support of all good citizens in
carrying them into effect :
1. Wise and just legislation, the impartial
administration of equal laws, economy with
efhciency in every department of the State
government.
2. Popular education is the bulwark of free
institutions. Liberal appropriations for the
public schools for the whole people.
3. The systematic efforts of the Republican !
party to obstruct reform and destroy good
government In Sooth Carolina by turning to
partisan purposes the appointing power of the
Federal government is a standing menace to
the people of this State and a growing danger
to good citizens -in every -partbf-the Union.
The Federal offices in this State are made
political infirmaries and training schools for
the defeat of honest government in South
Carolina.
4. Honest home rule. The Democracy of
South Carolina, representing the taxpayers of
the State and a majority of the whole people,
invite and have the right to expect the sympathy
and support of their fellow countrymen
in their strenuous efforts to preserve an intelligent
and equal administration of the government.
5. The practice of packing juries in political
cases in the United Statee Conrt in this
State is a criminal violation of the inaliena-?
hie right of every citizen to a fair trial by a
jury of his peers.
(5. The extension of the franchise, as a political
result of the late war, has enlarged enormously
the number of present and prospective
voters requiring education in the public schools.
The burden was increased, while the aomiy
of the State to bear it was diminished. The
Federal government, by liberal appropriations
from the Treasury, on the basis of illiteracy,
should help the Southern States to cure the
evil of non-intelligent suffrage, A national
dangefr calls for national action and national aid
7. Civil service reform, appointments to
minor offices under tests that will indicate the
qualifications of the applicant, promotion by
merit, a fixed tenure of office, and no removals,
except for cause.
8. Blackmailing public servants, under the
guise of political assessments, converts the
public treasury, to the extent of the contributions
called for, into a campaign fund for the
advancement of a i>oltt;ical party, thus taxing
the whole people for partisan purposes.
9. The present protective tariff robs the
many ion the benefit of the few. The duties
on imports should be decreased, and an early
repeal of the duty on cotton ties, on the machinery
used in the manufacture of cotton
and wool, and on tools and agricultural implements,
will stimulate manufactures and be
a welcome relief to the farmer and laborer.
10. It is most desirable that the internal
revenue taxation be aboliBhed, so soon as this
can be accomplished without rendering permanent
the existing protective system. Rigid
economy in the conduct of the government
will hasten the day when the tariff shall be as
moderate as in the early days of The Republic
and the army of office holders employed under
the iutemaj revenue laws be disbanded.
11. The public credit?national and Statemust
be religiously maintained.
12. In the conduct of affairs in this State
the Democracy have been actuated by but one
desire, and that is to promote the greatest
good of the State. Only within the Democratic
party and by party action can defective
legislation be remedied without imperiling the
safety and well-being of the State. Democratic
unity is public safety and private security.
13. In the State, justice and equality for all,
to insure harmony and good will between the
races ; in the iJnion. no sectionalism in policy
orfeeling. An indissoluble Union of indestructible
States. One flag, one country,- one
destiny.

present to you candidates for State offices who
have equal claims to your confidence. The
Democracy of South Carolina have received
the nominations with unfeigned satisfaction,
and are determined to elect their candidates,
it will be an unmixed blessing to the State,
however, if there shall be a truce to political
strife, and honest men, with honest purpose
and without regard to their political associations
in the past, unite in voting for the upright,
capable and faithful candidates who are
now before the people. The Democracy cannot
be expected to continue.to load themselves
down with taxation for the benefit of their
former opponents, if these persist in preferring
political trampsor imported vagabonds toCaroliniansof

The principles declared by the State Convention
as formulating the objects and intentions
of the Democratiqg^arty are intelligible,"liberal
and progressive. They look to tbe preservation
of Honest Home Rule as the paramount
need of good citizens of every condition in life,
and they pledge to all the people the just administration
of equal laws, and economy with
efficiency in the conduct of the Government.
In the broader arena of National affairs the
South Carolina Democracy stand pledged to
the reform of the tariff system, so as to lessen
the burdens on the people, and to the reform
of the civil service as a means of purifying politics.
When the political workers shall no longer
have a hundred thousand Federal offices as a
lure and bait for their hungry dependents, the
power of combinations of unscrupulous politicians
will assuredly be broken, and for every
caudidate within his party, there will be a
fair field and no favor. The Democracy demand
likewise that the Federal Government,
by liberal appropriations from the treasury for
educational purposes, help the Southern States
to convert the present and rising generation
of freedmen into intelligent and responsible
citizens. In all things the South Carolina Democracy
solemnly bind themselves, before
their fellow-countrymen, to pursue that public
uniinu will nuike the whole nennle con
tent/by securing their rights, guarding their
privileges and fostering their growing prosperity.
The State Executive Committee remind
their Democratic fellow-citizens that, while
the control of South Carolina has been won by
the party, and with that control has come the
intelligent administration of governmental affairs
and peace in every Carolina home, the
lK>wer of the Democracy can only be maintained
and consolidated by eternal vigilance and
untiring effort. The Democracy are not so
strong that they can afford to disagree or divide.
Disunion now would be as perilous, as
in the historic campaign six years ago, when
the State was wrested from the grasp of the
ignorant and corrupt. Toleration there should
be within the party lines. There is ample
scope and verge there for the assertion of individual
views and opinions. But those who
abandon the party or oppose it, because the
measures they prefer have not been adopted,
make themselves the enemies of good government,
whether they choose to masquerade as
Indei>endents or boldly toun^t the black Hag of
the Republican party.""ToTitical solidarity is
as important as ever before, and there is less
excuse than in any previous canvass for - discontent
and desertion. Opposition to the
Democratic candidates and the Democratic
platform, in this campaign, must be taken as
proof of invincible ignorance, or of greed and
ambition that would sacrifice the brightest
hopes of the State for the gratification of personal
desires.
The State Committee earnestly urge their
fellow-Democrats to exert themselves to the
utmost to bring out a full vote, and to spare no
pains to swell the ranks of the colored Democracy.
By well-considered laws, repeating and
ballot-box stuffing are alike guanded against.
The Democracy, therefore, can. go into the
n, o ooonronon fiiof fho a+.mnjyfh I
Litll vitas v* 1111 ullo ooouhuu/v *u?V V?w uvivh^vii
of the opposition will not be increased by
trickery or fraud, and witli the satisfaction
of knowing that, in South Carolina, there shall
be, beyond dispute, a free and fair election.
By personal exertion, in exhibiting and explaining
to individual voters the benefits and
blessings of Democratic rule, the Democracy
can command the intelligent support and continuing
co-operation of the colored people.
To this end no labor, no persuasion, no argument
should be spared.' So will the Democracy
be proud of the triumph they shall enjoy, as
the lawful and legitimate result of just administration,
wise nominations, liberal principles,
and systematic and unflagging work.
This we owe to the State,-and we owe it to the
traditions of the master-race to which we belong.
Victory we must have ; and Honor with
Victory.
