[Cousin Sally Dillard is a story that must not die, and as it has been some time since the public have been called upon to laugh over its exquisite ridiculousness, we will give it a start again.] Scene.?A court of justice in South Carolina. A beardless disciple of Themis rises and thus addresses the court: "May it please your wor? ship and you gentlemen of the jury, since it has been my fortune (good or bad I will r;Ot say,) to exercise myself in legal disquisition, it has never befallen me to be obliged to prosecute so direfully marked an assault. A more wilful, violent and dangerous battery, and finally a more diabolical breach of the peace, ha3 seldom happened in a civilized country, and I dare say it seldom has been our duty to pass upon one so shocking to benevolent feelings, as this which took place over at Capt. Rice's in this county; but you will hear from the witnesses." The witnesses being sworn, two or three were examined and deposed: One said that he heard the noise but did not see the right; another that he saw the row, but did not know who struck first, and another that he was very drunk and couldn't say much about the skrim mage. Lawyer Chops?I am very sorry, gentlemen, to have occupied your time with the stupidity of the witnesses examined. It arises, gentle? men, altogether from a misapprehension on my part. Had I known as I do, that I had a wit? ness who was acquainted with all the circum? stances of the case, and who was able to make himself clearly understood to the court and jury, I ab.ould'not have trespassed so long on your patience. Come forward Mr. Harris and be sworn. So forward comes the witness, a fat, cbutTy eld man, a "leetle"' corned, and took his oath with an air. Chops?Harris, we wish you to tell about the riot that happened the other day at Captain Rice's, and as a good deal of time has already been wasted in circumlocution, wo wish you to be compendious, at the same time as explicit as possible. Harris?Adzakly, (giving the lawyer a know? ing wink, at the same time clearing his throat) Captain Rice, he gin a treat, and cousin Sally Dillard she comes over to our house and axed me if my wife she moun't go ? I told cousin Sallv Dillard my wife was poorly, being as how she had a touch of rheumatics in the nip, and the big swamp was up in the road there having Been a great deal of rain lately, but howsoever, as it was she, cousin Sally Dillard, my wife she mout go. Well cousin Sally Dillard then axed me if Mose he moutn't go? I told cousin Sal? ly Dillard that ne was the foreman of the crap, and the crap was smartly in the grass, but how? soever, us it was she, cousin Sally Dillard, Mose he monl. go. Chops?In the name of common sense, Mr. Harris, what do you mean by this rigmarole ? Witness?Captain Rice, he gin a treat, and cousin Bally Dillard, she came over to my house and axed me if my wife she moutn't go? and I told cousin Sally Dillard? .Chops?Stop, sir, if you pjease; we don't want tc hear about your cousin Sally Dillard er your wife; tell us about the fight at Rice's. Witness?Well, I will sir, if you will let me. Chops?Well, sir, go on. Witness?Well, sir, Captain Rice, he gin a treat, and cousin Sally Dillard she came over to my house and axed me if my wife she mountn't go. Chops?Here it is again. Witness please to stop. Witness?Well, sir, what do you want? Chops?We want to know about the fight, and you must not proceed in this impertinent story. Do you know anything about the matter before the court ? Witness?To be sure I do. Chops?Well, go on then, and tell it, and nothing else. Witness?Well, Captain Rice, he gin a treat,? Chops?This is intolerable. May it please the court, I move that the prisoner be commit? ted for a contempt. He seems to be trifling with the court . Court?Witness, you are before the court of justice, and unless you behave yourself in a more becoming manner you will be sent to the jail; so begin and tell mo what you know about the fight at Rico's. Witness?Well, gentlemen, Captain Rice he gin a treat, and cousin Sally Dillard? Court?(after deliberating,) Mr. Attorney, the court is of an opiuion that we may save time by letting the witness go on in his own way. Proceed Mr. Harris, with your story, but stick to the point. Witness?Yes, gentlemen. Well, Capt. Rice, he gin a treat, and cousin Sally Dillard come over to our house and axed mo if my wife she moutn't go? I told cousin Sally Dillard that my wife she was poorly, being as how she had tho rheumatics in her hip, and the big swamp was up; howsoever, as it was she, cousin Sally Dillard, my wife she mout go. Well, cousin Sally Diilard theu axed me if Mose he moutn't go. I told cousin Sally Dillard as how Mose was the foreman of the crap, and the crap was smartly in the grass, but howsoever, as it was she, cousin Sally Dillard, Mose mout go. So they goes on together, Mose, my wife and cousin Sally Dillard, and they comes to the big swamp, and it was up as I was telling you , but being as how there was a log across the big swamp, cousin Sally Dillard and Mose, like genteel folks, they walked t he log, but my wife, like a darned fool, hoisted her coats and waded through. Chops?Heaven and earth ; this is too bad ; but go on. W itnes3? We 11, that's all I know about the fight. Something for the Girls.?If a young man greet you in a loud, free and hasty tone ; if he knows precisely where to put his baud on his hat; if ho stare you right in the eye, with his own wide open"; if ho turn his back to you to speak to another ; if he tell you who made his coat; if he squeezes your hand; it he eats heartily in your presence ; if, in short, he snee/.e when you are singing, critiei.-io your curls, or fail to be fooling in fifty ways every hour, then don't fall in love with him for the world. He only admires you, let him do or say what he will. On the other hand, if he be merry with every one else, but quiet with you ; if he be anxious to see that your tea is sufficiently sweetened and your dear person well wrapped up when you go into the cold ; if he talks very low ; it his cheeks arc red, and his nose only blushes, it is enough. If he romp with your sister, sigh like a pair of bellows, look solemn when you arc addressed by another gentleman, and, in fact, if he be the most still, awkward, stupid, yet anxious of all your male friends, you may "go ahead," and make the pour fellow happy. A New State Administration Demanded. The"time has come for the people of South Carolina to rise up and assert their freedom, and maintain a just and economical govern? ment. We have no excuse left us. A change must be made or we sink into the vortex of ruiu never to rise agaiu as a party, and we will richly deserve to fall. Four years the Repub? lican party has had control of this State. The two first years were an exhibition of skill aud tact in bringing about a state of prosperity and hope for the people, and all classes of citizens were beginning to rejoice in prosperity. But the unblushing speculations and extravagances of the last two years has been beyond all paral? lel in this country. The cause of this is found in the men who have controlled our finances, and ruled the Legislature?by their stupendous schemes and bribery of men who have been the I willing tools in their hands. The people should rise up in their might and depose those men, and place in their stead men of higher integrity and moral worth. Let the people move in the coming election, and see to it that not one of those who have been the willing tools in the hands of the bribers, j be returned to the Legislature in the coming elections, and that thoso officials who have destroyed the credit and depleted the Treasury, do not get back in order to do so> again. We propose, during the campaign, to pay attention to the gentlemen and their deeds of bribery and corruption. Wc will give the figures and the facts, and if they can get over them, we shall see how they do it. We shaU pay our respects to the Treasurer, the Financial Agent, the Blue Ridge arrangement, the Greenville business, the Impeachment trials, the Valida? ting rascality, and to a number of smaller peculations. Also some of our State Senators, whose hands have been deep into the crimes of fraud and peculation. If one has the desire, there is enough to bring out to damn every in? cumbent in office almost in this State. Those who may not be guilty of direct participation, are so by neglect of duty as public officers in not bringing their guilty partners in office to condign punishment, when they have clearly violated the laws and the sacred obligations imposed upon them to discharge public trusts. Men who know the commission roughs, when they are in a position to prevent their perpetra? tion, are equally guilty of the crime with those Iwho are principal in the commission. Now- is the time to sift them, and bring them before the people.?Missionary Record., Radical. The Czar's Reception of Gen. Sherman and Party at Moscovr. The Cincinnati CommerciaVs special New York dispatch of the 13th furniishes the follow? ing: A letter from Moscow, Russia, dated May 20, gives particulars of the first meeting of General Sherman and party wi;h the Czar Al? exander. General Sherman arrived at Moscow May 18, after ten days' steady staging from Sebastopol. Next day the Czar leaves St. Pe? tersburg to visit Crimea, and it was announced he would stop fifteen minutes at Moscow to change locomotive. General Sherman and companions donned their full uniform and re? paired to tho depot to await the Imperial arri? val, and were conducted into tho Imperial rooms provided there. The space around the depot was carpeted and beautifully festooned with flowers, and there were assembled there the chief dignitaries of the city, with their gorgeous uniforms, officers of the Imperial staff, several ladies of honor, and a sprinkling of citizens in citizens' dress. The centre of attrac? tion was, however, two young Grand Dukes, who, accompanied by their preceptor and the confessor of the Empress, where on their way from Yulta to St. Petersburg. They were dressed in the uniform of Lieutenants of the Russian army, and the eldest, who is about fourteen, looks like Alexis. They appear to be very nice boys, aud when General Sherman was presented to them they both uncovered and stooa looking up in his face, while talking to him with as much respect and admiration as if he had been Peter the Great. They both speak English very well. Several of the*ladies pres? ent, who spoke English very fluently, asked to be presented. At last the train bearing the; Emperor came. The Emperor soon after appeared on the plat? form dressed in his usual uniform, and wearing a white fatigue cap. He stepped down from the car and commenced talking with those around. With an air of authority he advanced, stopping here and there to say a few words to different persons, and then stepped up to Mr. Curfcin, shook hands with him cordially, in? quired about his health, and expressed his sat? isfaction at seeing him again, to which Mr. Curtin responded, and then presented General Sherman. His Majesty extended his hand, asked the General how he had enjoyed his trip through Russia, expressed himself very glad to make his acquaintance, and hoped the rest of his stay in Russia would be pleasant Mr. Curtin then presented Lieutenant Grant and Colonel Audenreid. But the Emperor did not give his hand to Mr. Grant, but simply hopiug he was well, continued speaking to Mr. Curtin and General Sherman, and soon after walked away, aud the reception was over. No words of friendship or greeting for his father, no regrets for his short stay in Russia, a cool, a decidedly cool reception, more than matching in coolness that of Alexis in Washington. The Emperor walked about the platform a few min: utes, talking to different persons; had a few moments conversation with the eldest of the two young Grand Dukes present, and then got into'the train, which immediately commenced moving off amid the cheers of the people. From Fatiikr to Sox.?One day a young man entered a merchant's office in Boston, and with a pale and careworn face, said : "Sir, I am in need of help. I have been un? able to meet certain payments, because certain parties have not done as they agreed by me, and would like to have $10,CO0. I came to you because you were a friend to my father, and might be a friend to me." "Come in," said the old merchant, "come in and have a glass of wine." "No," said the young man, "I don't drink." "Have a cigar, then." "No, I never smoke." "Well," said the old gentleman, "I would like to accommodate you, but I don't think I can." "Very well," said the young man, as he was about to leave the room, "I thought perhaps you might. Good day, sir." "Hold on," said the merchant, "you don't drink?" "No." "Nor smoke ?" "No." "Nor gamble, nor anything of that kind." "No, sir, I am superintendent of a Sunday School." "Well," said the merchant, "you shall have it, and three times the amount if you wish, Your father let me have$5,000once, and asked me the same questions. He trusted me, and I will trust you. No thanks?1 owe it to you for your father's trust." Re-Vacctjjation.?An infant should be vac? cinated not earlier than a month after its birth ; if it takes well, another careful vaccination at about fourteen will ordinarily be a life-long protection. At a small-pox hospital in Eng? land, it is the invariable custom to re-vaccinate every nurse who enters t he establishment tc take care of the sick, and in thirty-four years there has not been a single case of a nurse havig taken small-pox. The older persons get after vaccination, the lc-is likely arc they tc have any form of the disease. ? A young lady having set her cap for a rather large specimen of I he opposite sex, and having failed to win, was telling her sorrows to a couple of confidants when one of them comforted her with these words: "Nevermind, Mollie; there's as good fish in the sea as ever was caught." "Mollie knows thai," replied the ONE BY ONE. Tho following beautiful lines admonish us, as what does not, to prepare for that hour, , when wo shall stand upon the margin of the river, and alone enter into its icy tide. The author is unknown: They arc gathering homeward from every land, One by one. As their weary foet touch the shining strand, Une by ono, Their brows are encircled in a golden crown ; Their travel-stained garments are all laid down, And clothed in white raiment they rest on the mead, Where tho Lamb ever loveth his children to lead, One by one. Before they rest they pass through the strife, One by one. Through the waters of death they enter life, Ono by ono. To some are tho floods of tho river still, As they ford on their way to the heavenly hill; To others the waves runVtoreely wild, But all roach the homo of tho undented, One by ono. We, too, shall como to that river's aido, One bv one. Wo are noarer Its waters oach eventide, One by one. Wo can hoar the noiso and dash of tho stream, Now and again, through our life's deep dream ; Sometimes tho floods all its banks overflow, Sometimes in ripples tho smaU waves go, One by one. Jesus, Redeemer, wc look to thee. One by one. Wc lift up our voices tremblingly, One by ono. Tho waves of tho rivor aro dark and cold, We know not tho spot whero our feet may hold, Thou who didst pass through in doop midnight Strengthen us, send us thy staff and thy light, One by one. Plant thou thy feet besklo us as we tread, One by oue. On Theo lot us lean each drooping head, Ono by ono. Let but thy strong arm around us bo twined, Wc shall east all our fears to tho wind. Saviour, Redeemer, bo thou in full view, Smilingly, gladsoincly wo shall pass through, One by one. English and American Girls. An English traveler writes: I can assure you that, having lived in different castles and man? or-houses of Great Britain, and been accus? tomed to the industrious habits of duchesses and countesses, I was utterly astonished at the idleness of American fine ladies. No English woman of rank (with tho exception of a few parvenues,) from the Queen downward would remain for one half hour unemployed, or sit in a rocking-chair unless seriously ill. They almost all (with hardly au exception,) copy the business letters of- their husbands, father?: or brothers; attend minutely to the wants ol the poor around them, and even take part iu their amusements and sympathize with theii sorrows; visit and superintend the schools; work in their own gardens; sec to their house? hold concerns; think about their visitors ; look over the weekly accounts, not only of the do? mestic expenses, but often those of the farm and estate; manage penny clubs in conjunc? tion with the working classes, to help them tc keep themselves; and with all these occupa? tions, by early hours, they keep up their ac? quaintance with the literature and politics ol the day, and cultivate the accomplishments oi music and drawing, and often acquire, besides some knowledge of scientific pursuits. Th< late Marchioness of Landsdowne was so weli acquainted with the cottagers in her neighbor? hood that she used to visit and look at the corpses of the dead, because she found thai her doing so soothed and comforted the be? reaved. I have known her to shut herself ur. with a mad woman in her poor dwelling, whe used to lock the door, and could uot be inducet to admit any one else. Lady Lansdowne's on? ly daughter used one hundred guineas (giver by her father-in-law, Lord Suffolk, to buy s bracelet,) to build pig-styes, with his permis? sion, at her husband's Tittle country residence, She educates her own children without assis? tance^?teaching the boys Latin and the girls all the usual branches of education. The latt Duchess of Bedford, I accidentally discovered when on a visit to Woburn, had, for thirty years of her married life, riseu at six o'clock summer and winter, lit her own fire, made some tea for the Duke and herself, and them as h< wrote his own letters of business, sho copicc them, and they came down to a large party oi guests at ten o'clock, to dispense brealcfast, with? out saying one word of their matutinary avo? cations ; so that you might have been a visitoi in the house without finding out that the Duk< or Duchess had transacted the necessary busi? ness of the day before, perhaps, you had risen I rather mention those that are gone to theii reward than write of women still among us j but you may believe me when I say that I an constantly among those who live such lives o: energy and usefulness, but they so employ themselves without ostentation or an idea thai they are doing more than their simple duty. A Rattle-Snake Bite and a Ride foi Life.?The Burlington (Kansa?) Patriot sayi last week Mr. S. T. Champlin, of Pottawato mic township, liviug on Long Creek was bittet by a rattlesnake on the right hand. He was handling corn at the time, and as he reachet down to the corn-pilo the snake, which was coiled up, unperceived in tho corn, struck him his fangs entering the finger next to the litth one, between the knuckle and the middle joint As soon as Mr. Champlin found he was bit ten, he mounted a horse and started for town as no whiskey or other remedy was close a hand. His hand and arm began to swell rap idly, and the pain was intense. After riding i mile, he stopped at a neighbor's and procuret a glass of alcohol, which he reduced with wa ter and drank. This probably saved Mr. C.'s life, as he informs us that the torture from tin bite had become so severo that he could witl difficulty sit in the saddle. He at one. puT;e< for town as fast as possible, and at Wolf Creel he found its banks full, but did not hesitate t< ride in. The swift current swept him from hi: horse, but he clung to his mane with the hanc which was not disabled, and his hor.se carriec him across. On his arrival in this city Dr Douglass administered powerful. stimulants using spirits freely and drenching the arm witl iodine. The arm was swollen very full, bu the Doctor soon had him out of danger. ?Mr Champlin was bitten at 2 o'clock in the after noon, and arrived in Burlington about 3, so lu had ridden nearly twelve miles in an hour The snake was killed, and measured twb fee and a half in length, having eight rattles. ? Ono of the most extraordinary facts re vcaled to us by Dr. Livingstone's exploration: in Africa is that the high "tableland of the in turior, with its rich agricultural resources, it noble flora, its fine temperature, broad imam seas, and inexhaustible stores of mineral wealth is rendered all but impenetrable to civilize! men, certainly beyond all reach of coloniza tion, by one of the most apparently insignifi cant of causes, a lly. This terrible insect is : little brown, yellow-striped fly called the tsetze scarcely larger than our common houschoh pests, hut whoso sting is absolutely fatal. S< deadly is its poison that it is said three or fou flies will kill the largest ox. Seen after tin bite, which gives little or no pain, staggering and blindness come on ; the body swells to ar enormous size ; tho coat turns rough, and in : few hours follow convulsions and death. Am yet this deadly poison under tho effeetof whicl the horse and ox, the sheep and the dog fall ai if plague-stricken, is perfectly harmless to man to wild animals, to the pig, mule, ass and goat Here is an achievement of science that wouh bring glory to the discoverer?the discovery o some antidote to the sting of this venomous fly which would open the treasures of Centra Africa to the use of the world, Billinsgate.?Josh. Billings, being alive, yet spcaketh. He says: I wouldn't undertake tew korrekt a man's sektariah views enney quicker than I would tell him which road tew take at a 4 comers, when I didn't know myself which was the right one. I haven't mutch doubt that a man sprung from the monkey, but what bothers me iz, whare thekussid monkey sprung from. Whiskey friends are the most unprofitable ones I kuo ov, they are always reddy tew drink with them they hain't dry. Yu kan't hire a man tew be honest, he will want his wages raised every morning. The most successful men i have ever known are those who are konstantly making blunders, but never seem tew kuo it. It may be a leetle vexashus, but I don't kon sider it any disgrace tew be bit by a dog. Abuse generally iz helthy, but sumtimcs it cums from so low a source that it don't do a man enny good. Every man should know something ov law? if he knows, enuff tew keep out of it, he is a pretty good lawyer. Hunting for an honest man is just about as much like work az trieing tew trace out a kat's pedigree. When a man iz thoroughly lazy he iz good for nothing only tew shoot at. The Distinction.?The following neat re? ply was made to a school-board examiner, who said: "What is the difference, little boys, now you have heard all about missionaries and their good work from your preceptor, between a Christian and a Cannibal ?" A boy of ten, noted for his good appetite, and the consequent love of fun which always accompanies it, said with a grin: "Why, master, I'll tell you; one enjoys hisself, and t'other enjoys t'other peo? ple." ? The quickest way for a man to forget all common miseries is to wear tight boots. ? The first coal mine in the Uuited States was dug near Kichraond, Va. ? Punch says it is very natural for a man to feel girlish when he makes his maiden speech. ? A contemporary says of a very prominent militia general that "his sword was never drawn but once?and then in a raffle." ? Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you promise him ; if he is a good hand, pay him a little more?it will encourage him to'do still better. ? The Daubury News says that when a couple of young people strongly devoted to each other commence to eat onions, it is safe to pronouuee them engaged. ? A gentleman in Massachusetts, being threatened with a contagious disease, said tc his littleson, who, in an affectionate mood, wish? ed to embrace him : "You mustn't hug me : you'll catch the scarlet fever." Willie, stand? ing Dack, looked in amazement upon his papa 1 (who, by the way, is a pattern of propriety,] and quickly asked, "Why, papa, who (lid you hug?" ? ? As a rill front a fountain increases as it flows, rises into a stream, swells into a river, so symbolically are the origin and course of s good name. At first, its beginning is small; it takes its rise from home, its natural source, extends to the neighborhood, stretches through the community, and finally takes a range pro? portioned to the qualities by which it is sup? ported ; its talents, virtue and usefulness tut ? surest basis of an honorable reputation.

RICHARDSON, Administrator with Will annexed. June 27, 1872 51 ?* SOMETHING NEW. Buttonhole, Overseaming and Complete Sewing Machine in One!! We request the Ladies, and all others want? ing a perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from personal examination, this superior and excel? lent Machine. It is no exaggeration to say tliat it will execute a greater variety of sewing, with fewer attachments and less labor, than any Machine in the world. It is a decided im? provement on the older Machines in market; and the superior skill, workmanship and ma? terials employed in its construction are a guar? antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and enable tho Company and its Agents to War? rant every Machine they sell to give entire satisfaction. It is comparatively noiseless, and runs with such case that the most delicato female can oporate it all day without fatigue. A Plnladel phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says : "In New England, the home of the Sewing Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine is without a rival?1. Because it will do every? thing that any Machine can do, sewing from tho finest to the coarsest material, hemming, felling, cording, braiding, binding, gathering and sewing on at the samo tune, quilting, etc., better than any other Macine. 2. Because the tensions are more easily adjusted. 3. Bccauso it can work a beautiful buttonhole, making as fine a pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will embroider over the edge, making a neat and beautiful border on any garment. 5. Because it will work a boautiful eyelet hole. 6. Be? cause it can do overhand Beaming, by which sheets, pillow-cases and the like aro sowed over and over. 7. Because you can quickly ran o and lower tho feed to .adapt it to thick or thin cloth. 8. Because you have a short, deep bobbi j, by which tho thread is constantly drawn from the centre, the tension is conse? quently even. 9. Because tho prosser-foot turns back, that tho cloth may be easily re? moved after being sewed. Because it is two Machines in one, and has no springs to break, and nothing to get out of order." We tako the liberty of roforring to tho fol? lowing ladies, citizens of Anderson and vicin? ity, who have tested our Machines. The tes? timony of these ladies is certainly a natter? ing evidence of tho popularity attained by these Machines within a short time : Mrs. Edmund Murrah, Anderson. 44 Robert Keys, 44 44 Georgia Brown, 44 44 P.
