tumorous Department. A Boahdino Houses Secret.?There is a very pretty young widow who lives in one of the family hotels and there is also a dashing young man at the same place. The widow is a person of whom one may say that she keeps her affairs to herself, which Is mere figure of speech, because at a family hotel nobody can keep his affairs to himself. At any rate, she doesn't tell anybody what her Intentions toward the young man are, and when the hammer squad meets for exercise, the widow's reputation is frequently on the anvil. She and the young man sailed through the parlor one recent evening, and a lady who had lifted her eyebrows as high as she could without tangling them in her pompadour, turned on the elderly gentleman and spoke. Her voice was low and confidental. "You know Mrs. Dash, very weli," I iniriK, sne aaiu. The elderly man admitted it. "Well," went on the lady, almost in a whisper, "I wish you'd tell me in confidence, Just what the relations between her and the young man are." The elderly gentleman looked all around to be sure that nobody could hear Then he leaned forward and spoke behind his hand: "If you won't let it go any farther" said, "I wll tell you that, so far as I have seen, they are very pleasant." A Great Chance.?He entered timidly, says an exchange. He stood befort the editor, twlst'ng the brim of his soft black hat, with long, white, poetic fingers. "I am sorry," said the editor, "I am very sorry. But we cannot use your poem. That is final." Tears welled up in the young man's eyes. He swallowed. "Why?" he said. "Well, to be candid,' the editor replied, "neither in prosody nor in construction is this poem meritorious. The idea Is old. The sentiment is maudlin. The expression Is atrocious. The rhymes are vile." But now a light, as of great Joy, illumined the poet's face, and he cried eagerly. "Give me back my manuscript. Give It back to me." "Very well," said the editor, "but I don't see what you can do with It. "Set it to music." cried the poet. Make a popular song of it. With the qualifications, you ascribe to it, undoubtedly it will be the hit of the season." On a Cash Basi3.?An eminent physician in P had cured a little child of a dangerous illness. The grateful mother turned her steps towards the house of her son's saviour. "Doctor," she said, "there are some things which cannot be repaid. I really don't know how to express my gratitude. I thought you would, perhaps, be so kind as to accept this purse, embroidered by my own hand." "Madam," replied the doctor, coldly, "Medicine is no trivial affair, and our visits are to be rewarded only in money. Small presents serve to sustain friendship, but they do not sustain our families." "But. doctor," said the lady alarmed and wounded, "speak?tell me the fee." "Two hundred dollars, madam.' The lady opened the embroidered purse, took out five bank notei of $100 each, gave two to the doctor, put the remaining three back in the purse, bowed coldly, and took her departure.

The other afternoon a stranger wandered Into the office, evidently by mistake. He held a slip of paper In his hand, and said, hesitatingly, that he was "looking for a lawyer by the name of " "Ah, yes, certainly, sir?sit down." said the excited young attorney. "Well, you see It's this way. mister," began the caller. "I've been sued by a fellow out In Cicero. Between you and me, I hain't got any case at all; but I've got enough money to make a fight, and I'm going to do It." "My dear sir," cried the lawyer, grasping the visitor by both hands, "don't say another word. You've the best case I have ever seen." An Indian's Wit.?Last winter, when the Indian football team from Carlisle, Penn., came to Chicago to wipe up the gridiron with their paleface brethren from Wisconsin university, the copper-colored visitors received a great deal of attention at the hands of the young women students of Dr. Harper's school. A group of the grirls surrounded one of the swarthy athletes, and, having taken him prisoner, began to crossquestion him. "Tell me," remarked one gushing, radiant creature, "why do you red people paint your faces when you go on the warpath?" "For the same reason, I presume, that you white ladles powder your faces when you go upon the warpath In society,'' quietly replied the Indian. t'T The passengers on a trolley car were very much amused recently by a conversation between two colored men one of whom was a deacon In a down town church. He introduced the subject of a new fence around a graveyard. and asked his companion, who had more worldly Inclinations, for a contribution for that purpose. His reply was: "What yo" want a fence 'round dat graveyard fo'? Ulve pussons doan want to get in. and I'm doggone sure de dead one's ain't a-gwine to try an' git out. I ain't got no money foh graveyahd fences." And the argument was clinched right there.?Detroit Free Press. Expkkt Opinion?Physicians as a class are supposed to be indifferent to poetry.

HISTORY OF SOi From the First Settle the Rev< By REV. ROBER-] From the Yorkville Enquirer of 1876. INSTALLMENT VIII. Administration of John Yeamans On the 19th of April, 1672, Joseph West retired from the office of governor of the colony, settled at Ashley river, and Sir John Yeamans was publicly proclaimed. This was the beginning of a series of calamities, both to the immigrants and the proprietors. Yeamans had won for himself at last the approbation of the proprietors in the manner in which he had conducted their affairs at Cape Fear. It is however, doubtful whether or not he ever had anything in view except the reparation of his own ruined fortune. The proprietors from the beginning were favorably disposed toward Yeamans. He and they had many views, respecting men and things, which were common. The majority of the proprietors were cavaliers, and so was Yeamans. Whatever may be said regarding Yeamans's gubernatorial career at Cape Fear, he signally failed at Ashley river. He commenced a course " s * ?-t- I -U Vi n t V* A VlQ/1 01 conauci Wllltll auuncu mai lie hum no desire to advance the welfare of the infant colony or to promote the Interest of the proprietors. His acts resembled those of a selfish landholder. He who had ruled at Cape Fear with the affection of a father, now grasped with the rapacity of a miser. No sooner was he proclaimed governor than the whole face of things was changed. On the 20th of April, the very day after he assumed office, the people were assembled and a new parliament chosen. Stephen Bull, Christopher Portman, Richard Conant, Ralph Marshall and John Robinson were chosen members of the Grand Council. The deputies of the proprietors were Colonel West, Captain Thomas Gray, Captain John Godfrey, Maurice Matthews and William Owens. The influence of West was not lost, notwithstanding the fact that he was removed as governor. He remained true as steel, both to the people and the proprietors. Yeamans had a plantation in Barbadoes, and he had a definite knowledge of the wants of the community. He knew the kind of merchanJise that was in the greatest demand there and which would command the greatest amount of money. All Yeamans seemed to have In view was the amassing of a fortune for himself, ro effect this purpose, he commenced auying up the produce of the settlers and shipping it to the Barbadoes. rhe colony was thus, If not impoverished, retarded in its progress; and i ho nrnnrlptfirs In their efforts to support the colony, were Involved In i heavy debt. They became disheartened and concluded that in the future they would be more sparing In granting supplies. The colonists asked for a supply of stock. This was refused them by the proprietors on the ground that It was not the lntenion of the latter to establish a. colony >f graziers but of planters. The official character of Yeamans has 3een supported by a certain class of t>ld writers; but it Is clear that they were favorable to him because of lis political notions and ecclesiastical connections. Those who defend Mm said that he Incurred the disapprobation of the proprietors by makng too many and too large demands upon them for the welfare of the colony. This conclusion is not well supported. The inhabitants of the colony would scarcely have been dissatisfied with a governor who was thus zealously striving to advance so much, and there was no prospect that the demand upon them for supplies would come to an end. There Is one fact which must settle this matter forever. It is this: Sir John Yeamans was poor when he was made governor of the colony, and when he died in August, 1674 he was rich. He had no other means, or making his fortune except his plantations and his traffic with the colonists. During the Infancy of the colony, manual labor was all, or nearly all, performed by white servants who bad been brought from England, ind by Indians who had been either bought from their enemies or captured In war, and sold Into slavery to defray the expense of the war. It was customary for the Immigrants to hire an Indian hunter. Such an Individual could be procured for less than five dollars a year, and he would supply a family In meat of the choicest kind all the time. Governor West Again. In May. 1674, Joseph West was again commissioned governor and made a landgrave by the proprietors. Sir John Yeamans, on account of bad health, had. previous to this time, gone to Barbadoes, where he died in August of the same year. On the departure of Yeamans the people selected West to be their governor, and the selection was confirmed by the proprietors. When West commenced his second term of office, the colony was in a bad condition. Dissension had sprung up, and old animosities which had been lulled to sleep, were aroused in all their original strength. The very existence of the colony was threatened. Yea mans by purchasing the products of the people and sending them to the Harbadoes, had reduced the colony to the greatest extremity. Famine began to stare them in the face. The cry for bread was heard in various quarters. Open rebellion was plotted. The facts concerning it are few, but the inferences are plain and easy. The proprietors, with the exception of Ashley Cooper were cavaliers: the people were mostly Dissenters. Ashley Cooper and John Locke, who were intimately connected from the beginning with the plantcnlnnv were favorable to the Dissenters, whilst it was the evident intention of the other proprietors to establish in Carolina the Church of England. The members of the Church of England were favored. They were regarded as men of culture. whilst the Dissenters were regarded as an ignorant and quarrelsome set of people. Xo doubt, there was some truth in this. The probability is, that whilst the Dissenters had more mental power, the Cava ( I'll CAROLINA. T v, C ment to the Close of ?, olution. 11 ti P T.iTWATV. T>. T>. g b a w a Hers were a more refined class. They a had no love for each other, and hence could not live long together In har- *. mony. Religious Liberty. a It Is true that the first set of laws tl drawn up by the proprietors granted w each Individual the greatest liberty g( In religion. In these Fundamental e' Constitutions there Is no denomlna- p tlonaJlsm. It Is evident that some rr peculiar and only temporary circumstance Induced the proprietors to be C( so liberal. This liberality was dye to ol Ashley Cooper and John Locke? t mainly, however, to the latter. None is of the proprietors were men eminent rl for piety; and although Ashley Coop- ai er was nominally a Dissenter, he was w too much engaged In other schemes u to devote much attention to the cul- ai tlvatlon of his own heart. He was a tl man of talent, and we should respect ij his memory. He Is the author of c< what Is known In England and Amer- rr lea as the Habeas Corpus Act. John id Locke was a great man. and It would u appear, a good Christian. He seems b; to have Imbibed the spirit of his dl- tl vine Master. He had less prejudice In his mind than was common among st the men of his age. He said: "At g. the day of Judgment I will not be Q] asked whether I was a Lutheran or tl a Calvinlst, but had I embraced the tj truth In the love of It." In the first set of Fundamental j Constitutions, signed by the proprl- - etors on the first day of March, 1669, ^ three sections have special reference |a to religion. They are sections 100, 101 and 102. Other sections have tj reference to religion, but not so a] special as those referred to. We quote them accurately: r) C. In the terms of communion of r! every church or profession, these fol^ lowing shall be then, without which no agreement or assembly of men. under pretence of religion, -shall be ti accounted a church or profession S( within these rules. . 1. There is a God. 01 2. That God is publicly to be wor- c* shipped. "f 3. That It is lawful, and the duty of every man, being thereunto called by those that govern, to bear witness P' to truth: and that every church or dl profession shall, In their terms 'of l communion, set down the external way whereby they witness a truth as in p' the presence of God, whether it be by ?l laying hands on or kissing the Bible. as in the Church of England, or by tj holding up the hand or in other sensible way. " C.?1. No person above seventeen g years of age shall have any benefit n, or protection of the law or be capable of any place of profit or honor, who is not a member of some church oi or profession, having his name re- H corded in some one, and but one reli- je gious record at once. C.?2. No person of any other church or profession shall disturb or si molest any religious assembly. p Provision was also made that any Individual might leave one church or denomination and Join another; and" also that slaves be permitted to con-: nect themselves with any church they might see fit. All this, was liberal? C Christian, we might say?but It is nl fi>nm the future conduct of n( the proprietors, that they did not hi mean all they said. These Fundamental Constitutions w were to "remain the sacred and unal- h; terable form and rule of government hi of Carolina forever;" but the proprl- st etors did themselves, on the first of H March, 1670, change these Funda- r( mental Constitutions. One of the dl changes Introduced is in these words: P' As the country becomes to be suf- w flciently planted and distributed into Ir fit divisions, it shall belong to the Parliament to take care of the building of the churches and the public maintenance of divines, to be em- kl ployed in the exercise of religion ac- a cording to the Church of England; which being the only true and orthodox, and the national religion of a; all the king's dominion, is so also r< of Carolina; and therefore it alone rJ shall be allowed to receive a public maintenance by grant of Parliament. J1 In 1672 the proprietors drew up a' and signed what they styled the "argrarian laws." The evident tendency of these "agTarian laws," was 1C to give the proprietors and colonial le aristocracy the permanent control of sc the colony. In February, 1673, whilst th West was temporary governor, the te Fundamental Constitutions were pro- d< posed to the people for adoption, but w by them rejected. Everything was T calculated to stir up old and bitter r feuds. Yeamans had bought up, at ci a mere nominal price, the produce of la the inhabitants and sent It to Barbadoes, and the immigrants were too ai dependent on the proprietors. No T doubt the large number of them were ls not disposed to do much for them- ei selves. Some of them were gentle- q' men of ruined fortunes. They were 4,1 not accustomed to labor. Others, no doubt, were idle and prodigal. c( The adherents of the Church of Eng- w land were Jealous of the Puritans; si and the Puritans on the other hand, had not much good feeling for the ti Cavaliers. Public sentiment In the sj little colony was in a state of general c< ferment. At such times a leader Is ? rarely wanting. At this time he ap- rn peared In the person of John Culpep- per?a name afterward prominently connected with an Insurrection in North Carolina, which under his dl- , rectlon was successful in deposing all the officers in the Clarendon colony. Troubles With the Spaniards. Florence O'Sulllvan had been placed on an island, (which In honor of him, is called Sullivan's Island) in charge of a "big gun." He was charged to fire this gun on the approach of any "topsail" as a warning to the inhabitants of the town. O'.Sullivan, during the confusion of the colony, had been forgotten, and was reduced to a point bordering on starvation. Incensed at such treatment. he quitted his post and joined the discontents of the town. This was not all; for at this time, the Spaniards at St. Augustine, having learned of the state of things in the colony, determined to take advantage of It for its destruction. For some reason there seems to have been a disposition on the part of the servants to run away from their masters at Ashley river, and go to the Spanish at St. Augustine. We cannot suppose that the Spanish were kinder masters than the English. No doubt, the reason was that the servants who were inclined to run away were Catholics, and they were ill ut ease in a Protestant colony. At the time of this disturbance, a noted scoundrel by the name of Brian itzpatrlck, ran off to the Spaniards, nd communicated to them the unseted state of things at Ashley river, he Spanish sent out a party of men rho encamped at St. Helena island, aptaln Godfrey was sent out with a ody of fifty men. So soon a9 Godrey approached the post of the Spanirds they fled. In order to meet the necessities of lie colony, one ship was sent to Vlrlnla and another to Barbadoes to ring supplies. Before these returned ship sent out by the proprietors dth supplies and a few immigrants, rrived. This changed the appearnce of things. Florence O'SulIIvan as required to give security for his iiture good behavior. This calamity taught the colonists very Important lesson. It taught iem to depend on themselves. It as an evil In Itself; but It resulted In ood. The attentive observer of vents cannot fall to discover the suerlntending providence of God in the lost trivial occurrences. In the neighborhood of Ashley river jlony, there lived two powerful tribes f Indians?the Westoes and Saranas. he latter had their home near the ilndlga, now called the Savannah ver. The former were the relentless nd uncompromising enemies of the hlte man. Between these two fortidable tribes a fierce war broke out bout the time of the disturbances In le colony at Ashley river. So bltterr was it waged that both tribes were ampletely ruined. It Is worth retarking in this connection that Provlence seems to have paved the way j< >r the settlement of South Carolina a y reducing In one way and another S( le number of Indians. j, Previous to the settlement of the tl :ate by the English, disaster had T reatly reduced the number of some n f the tribes, and the hostility of the e ibes to each other kept their ranks P linned. f< It should not be forgotten that Ashsy Cooper, one of the original pro- a rletors, by his agent. Dr. Henry Woodward, purchased, in 1675, a irge tract of country from the Inlans. The deed of transfer specifies 'p countrv sold as that of the "Great I rid Lesser Castor, lying: on the river iyewaw," (now called Ashley,) "Che ver of Stono, and the fresher of the ver Edlsto." The price paid was a valuable parcel of cloth, hatchets, eads and other goods and manufaclres." This deed was signed and ;a!ed by the marks and seals of four ilefs, with the marks of eleven war iptalns, and what Is stranger still, by ] 'ourteen women captains." If Penn- 1 flvania can boast that William Penn urchased her territory from the Inlans, South Carolina can boast that ord Shaftesbury purchased at least j irt of Jhe present state of South Car- I Ina. At a later date, the Indians ceded to le English all their lands as far as le Appalachian mountains. Thlu last rant seems to be accompanied with 0 compensation. The fact that Ashley Cooper. Earl r Shaftesbury, was the author of the [abeas Corpus act. and that he, at ast In part, purchased the soil of auth Carolina from the Indians, lould cause hiu name to be held in -ateful remembrance.
