THE FARTENG ROUE* There's something in the "parting hour" Will' chill the warmest heart, Yet kindred,, comrades; lovers, friends,. Are fated all to part. But this I've seen?and many a pang Has pressed it oh rhy mitid? The one who goes is harpies Than-those he leaves behind. No-matter what the journey be, Adventurous, dangerous, far, To the wild deep or bleak frontier, To solitude or war, StiU something cheers the heart that dares In all of human kind, And they who go?are happier Than those they- leave txmmd. The bride goes to the bridegroom's home With doubtings and with tears. But does not Hope-her rainbow spread Across her cloudy fears ? Alas! the mother who remains What comfort can she find 3 ui this s the gone is happier Than: one she leaves behind, Hnve you a friend?a comrade dear? An old and valued friend? Be sure your time of sweet concourse At length will have an end. And when you part?as part you will? I take it not unkind, If he who goes'is happier Than you he leaves behind. God wills it so, and so it is; The pilgrims on their way, Though weak and worn, more cheerful are, Than all the rest who stay. And when, at last, poor man subdued, Lies down to death resigned, Slay he not stUl be happier far Than those he leaves behind. Mr. Elliot as a Reformer. .A correspondent of the Greenville Republican discusses the fitness of Congressman Elliot as a political reformer, and makes some pertinent inquiries on the subject: Mr. Elliot, after his eloquent appeals in be? half of civil rights for the colored people on the floor of Congress, comes home to South Carolina and forthwith comes out in the role of a "Reformer" of the Republican party. He has evidently not been inaifferent to the popu? lar feeling which exists in the latitude of Wash? ington and among the honest members of the Republican party generally in regard to the misdoings of the Republican party of this State, and, taking hi$ cue from President Grant's recent utterances, he concludes that the time to "unload" in South Carolina has about eome. Now, we do not object to having a reforma? tion in our ranks, and we are of those who think it high time that there should be such a reformation. What we do object to, however, is Mr. Elliott's assuming the role of chief in such a movement, and, by his eloquent speech? es here and in Congress, making the Republi? can party North think that he is the tit man to lead in such a movement. We have no desire to bring up, for their own sake, old memories of Mr. Elliot's short com? ings for the sake of showing that he has not such a record in the past as to inspire confi? dence for the future. But it is due to the Republican party of this State, it is due to the cause of an lion est ad? ministration of public affairs, and it is due to the people of this county, that they should know something of the man who seems to ask that he shall be entrusted with the leadership of the cause of reform in the Republican party of this State. First, then, can Mr. Elliot or any of his friends, point to a^y public action of hife since he first came to South Carolina, which would indicate that he really desired an honest ad? ministration of the government of this State? On the contrary has ne not voted and worked for the passage of some if not the most of these measures? Did he not leave his seat in Congress to come to Columbia to work in the interest of Gov. Scott when he was threatened with impeach? ment, and did not his reward come in the shape of a five thousand dollar payment out of the appropriation for the Armed Force Fund ? In Congress did he not vote for the Back Pay Bill, and when he came home did he not boldly defend the measure in a published let? ter, m which he sneeringly said he never in? tended to return his back pay into the public Treasury ? Did he not do as much as any man in this State to help increase the public debt by adding to it hundreds of thousands of dollars in pay certificates for the legislative session of 1871-72, which ho as well as every one else of common intelligence, knew were issued for services which were never performed, and in the names of persons who had no possible connection with the State Government? And who did more than he to cause the elec? tion of the present State administration which be is now so earnestly opposing? We ask these questions because we want some evidence on which to base our faith in Mr. Elliot's new promises. We want something more than his words, tittered before the campaign opens, to convince ns of the fact that he is really in earnest in his desire to bring about such a change in the affairs of this State as shall be a reform in ear? nest, and not a reform in pretence merely. We must confess to many doubts of Mr. Elliot's sincerity. In fact, we believe his talk and his eloquence mean little more than i that a change is needed, and it don t make much difference what sort of a char ;e it is, I provided only that he shall derive some benefit from it The reputation of most of the South Carolina Republicans, unhappily, for us, is not of the best, outside of our own State. To shut our eyes to this fact would be the stupidest blind? ness and folly. Our party pledges have been broken too often. Our foremost men have often been too selfish and too corrupt to merit anything but scorn from the world outside. Six years of Republican administration here j have been six years of misrule and contempt for the rights and understandings of our politi- I eal adversaries, and even have compelled those who would gladly lend us a helping hand to distrust and repel us. Can we regain our lost vantage ground and show that we can and will reform our own errors ? We think so, and shall try and do our part in this work. Mr. Elliot may really mean to do the same, but he must show works of re? pentance as well as repeat words of penitence before we can look up to him as the rising man in the new movement which is to result In our political purification. Republican, j The Public Printing.?The bill to regu? late the public printing of the State has become a law. In its passage every point made by the CommercicU in its attack upon the printing swindle is fully substantiated. By the provis? ion limiting the expense hereafter to fifty thousand dollars per year, the General As? sembly virtually admits that when it voted an average of three hundred thousand dollars a year for the past three years to the Republican Printing Company, that it was the author of and a partner in a fraud upon the State of just the difference between $300,000 and $50,000. In other words, we believe that we will some day be able to show that certain Senators and Representatives have divided, during the past three years, nearly three-quarters of a million of dollars among themselves under the thin disguise of payments for printing. We do not want any better vindication of our course on this matter than the action forced upon a re? luctant legislature by the power of publicity.? Port Royal Commercial. ? Some of the cities of modern California are on the very sites where ancient races had their dwelling places and their burial mounds. The skeletons of an unknown race have been found in San Francisco sand hills, and work? men enraged in cutting down a street crossing at Nap* recently unearthed the remains of nearly one hundred persons. The skeletons had been partially burned before interment. Mortars, arrow heads, knives made from Ob? sidan, and a shell ear drop were discovered. ? The odor exhaled by bags of commercial fertilizers don't put one much in minchof the fragrance of thelillyand honeysuckle.^ X Graphic Pictmre of Life in Texas. Maj. E. C. McLure, formerly editor of the Chester Reporter, is writing a series of letters to that paper from his new home in the Lone Star State. We make an extract herewith from one of his letters, which portrays domestic life in that region: "Texas is a good place for men, but is hell on women and oxen," is a remark that I had very often heard before I came here, and one, also, that the readers of the Reporter have no doubt very often heard- After an experience of near three months I am prepared to pro? nounce it, in many respects, a remark worthy of all acceptation. As the oxen come dragging their slow lengths along through the deep and sticky mud, with so measured a tread that the wagon behind them can scarcely be seen to move, it requires nothing more than a sight of their necks bowed by the heavy yokes and their bodies- covered with the splashings of the road to realize the truth of the saying so far as these patient, dumb creatures are concerned. And the women, too, are bowed beneath the yoke of domestic servitude. Servants are not here, and cannot be had. This portion of Texas, being only a grain producing country prior to the war, did not contain a great many negroes and since the war the immigration of the nation's pets has, very wisely, not been encouraged. What negroes are here are, if possible, more worthless and unreliable than the negroes of South Carolina. This is owing to the fact that their scarcity makes a great demand for them, and enables them to be just as trifling and lazy as their nature prompts them to be without any fear of not being able to get employment at any time they may want it. A great many families are not able to get domestic servants at all, and a great many others do without altogether rather than be annoyed with such as can be got. The result of which is thai the ladies here have the burden of all their household work on their own hands; and this applies as well to the rich as to the poor. I know a good many ladies whose husbands are in very easy circumstances and making money that do all their own cooking and house-clean? ing. Thi3 necessitates considerable labor on the part of the head of the house in the way of carrrying wood, making fires, fetching water, etc., etc.; that is if he is a man with any soul in him and disposed to relieve his wife of all the drudgery he can. Such being the case, this is the very country for men to come to who have once been rich and who arc struggling along under a load of poverty, striving to keep up appearances and to present to the world a hollow show of prosperity. How many men there are in all the Southern States who are being prematurely aged by the harassing cares and anxieties consequent upon trying to support their families in the same style they once flourished in, lest, perchance, their neighbors may think they are going down in the world 1 This is the country for all such. Here a man can feed and curry his own horse, black his own boots, make the fire in the stove for his wife to cook their breakfast by, and still be "a man for a' that." He won't have some rich neighbor (who probably stole his money) to turn up his nose and sneer at him for having been doing menial tasks; for the probability is that his rich neighbor here has been doing the same things before he left his home for his banking establishment or counting house. This difficulty about getting domestic servants, coupled with the fact that, on account of the nature of the soil here, women are absolutely prisoners in their houses during the prevalence of bad weather, are the postulates upon which the remark above quoted is based iu so far as it relates to women. Of all the snares that beset young girls, none are more dangerous than the love of dre*s. Mothers should be on the alert to guard their daughters against it. Elder sisters should not forget that young eyes are looking at them as examples, and are much more impressed by the living models before them than by any amount of "good advice." Nothing is of greater im? portance than the companionship permitted to young girls. Not only do overdressed com? panions induce the wish in themselves to over? dress, but if the gratification is denied, "covet ousness, envy, hatred, and all uncharitable ness," are very likely to find birth in hearfs that might be otherwise full of better feelings. An undue love of overdress has been only too Even in young children the passion for over? dressing is seen. Little girls, with the excep? tion that their dresses are shorter, are now clothed in all the expensive elaborations that distinguish the attire of grown women. Their skirts are covered with quantities of ornament0, frills and double skirts. Their feet are encased in the most costly boots, and their ankles dis? located with high heels. The hats they wear are in accordance with the rest of their toilette, and even padding and hair dye are not unfre quently used, and deception, culining, fraud, inculcated along with vanity and reckless ex? penditure. One would expect to find neat, plain dress in Sunday schools, if anywhere. Yet we are often pained to see children who come for free instruction, decorated with feath? ers, gilt ornaments, quantities of ribbons, silk mantles and double skirts. Thus arrayed, it is not wonderful that a general spirit of rivalry is engendered, scholar vieing with scholar, not in the acquirement of learning and piety, but en? vying one another's finery, or puffed up with vanity at the possession of some special gew? gaw and sneering at their less overdressed companions. We have heard mothers, with tears in their eyes, complain that they could no longer send their children to be instructed on Sundays, because they were unable to buy new or finer clothing, and the children were persecuted on account of their shabbiness? nay, even ridiculed for appearing constantly in the same bonnet?neat, but not fashionable. What do the mothers of these children con? template for them? How much better to at? tire them in simple neatness, to inculcate at? tention to instruction, to discipline their char? acters to moral strength, and teach them to lay the surplus, now wasted, for some better pur? pose?to aid their start in life or to help father and mother on a rainy day. "But they must do as others do, or they will be despised," is the foolish and often fatal argument. The ex? ample and persuasion and firm perseverance of one good mother would be sure to induc^many who know her?some, perhaps, who ridicule loudest?to follow her example. ? Gen. G. T. Beauregard has written a letter to United States Senator Gordon, urging the Democrats in Congress not to stand upon the order of giving relief to Louisiana in its distress, but to accept that plan which may be the most effectual. While he believes in the old Democratic doctrine of State rights and non? interference in local affairs, ho thinks that the the case of Louisiana is exceptional; that if it is not absolutely without a Republican form of government, the form is so perverted that Congressional interference cannot be a precedent for future encroachments. He sees no way out of the difficulty but in a new election, and in this believes the people should be protected by the United States authority, as in the former election tbey were overthrown with the ap? parent co-operation of the United States officers. ? It is related of the late Senator Wigfall that on the collapse of the Confederacy, while crossing the Mississippi to make his way into Mexico, in the assumed character of an ultra Union man, he was informed by a Federal soldier, who was on boaid the ferry boat, of the intense satisfaction he would experience if he could fall in with and hang to the topmast limb of the vallesf. tree the Texan arch-traitor. "Yes I too, would be pulling at one end of the rope," vehemently responded Wigfall. Love of Dress. ? At a whist party in Ohio recently a dealer found his hand to consist of the whole thirteen trumps. It has been calculated that if the entire population of the earth, taken at one thousand millions of persons, were to deal the cards incessantly day and night for one hundred million of years, at the rate of a deal by each person a minute, they would not have exhausted the one hundred thousandth part of the number of the essentially different ways iu which the cards can be distributed. The odds against the dealer holding thirteen trumps may be taken in round figures at one hundred and fifty-nine thousand millions to one. ? Few are aware of the vast number of people that can be placed in a small space. When we speak of millions of men we are apt to picture to ourselves an almost boundless mass of humanity; yet a million of people standing together, each person occupying four square feet could be placed on a paten but little over a mile square. A square mile will accommodate 7,955,000. The whole popula? tion of the United States would hardly cover two and a half miles square, and the population of the entire world could easily be accommo? dated on a tract twelve miles wide?less in extent than some townships. ? California is a great State, and does things on a great scale. Hearing that the temperance crusade was at hand, and that the women were preparing for prayers and sing ing in the streets, the Legislature passed a bill making it a misdemeanor to invite any person to drink, or to accept an invitation to drink at any public bar. California is said to have a dry season for half the year. If the Governor signs that bill it will be dry all the year round. SIMMONS REGULATOR THE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY.
