SIBYL'S AVERSION.
Sibyl Kenmere was a petted, pampered ,
darling of wealth-a young lady fond of j
all the luxuries and enjoyments of lite- ?
a leader in society, though, to give Sibyl !
her due, she never ?et herself up as a '
leader; she simply did what she pleased,
not caring what anybody thought about
it; but what Miss Sibyl please?! to do al
ways seemed lo be just the thine-at
least so society must have thought, for it
would rise and do likewise.
We have her word for it that she did
not mind being dictated to, but she would
not submit to being dictated to by bim,
for, oh, how she detested !
Now, thc gentleman Miss Sibyl desig
nated as "him" was thc only one of ber
intimate friends or relatives who had her
interest at heart that attempted to dic
tate t<> her since the day she took it upon
herself to "come out" as a young lady,
and to this first and only dictation she
refused to submit, so we must leave Sibyl
to the tender mercy of our reader to pa**
j judgment upon her.
""Mother, I will mit put np with it any
longer!"
Sibyl's cheeks were atlante, and her
dark eyes dilated, as she gave vent to the
above.
'Well, well, the course of true love
ne- er runs smooth. Herbert has been
o fing something awful again, I suppose,"
said Mrs. Kenmere in a soothing voice.
"Mother, I know you arc only talking
lightly, but it does provoke me when you
speak of love between Herbert Talfourd
and me. If you only knew how I detest
bim ! and I will not submit to his inter
ference any longer."
'My dear Sibyl, I understand how you
detest him better than von do yourself,"
and Mrs. Kenmere smi fed quietly. "But
what has happened now ?"
"Why, I was driving alone in the Park
yesterday, when he came up to nie, said
it looked anything but lady-like to see a
young lady ?mt alone driving a pair of
fast ponies ; and be stepped into the
phaeton, took the reins deliberately out
of my hands, and drove mu home."
"And, my dear, he suid what was per
fectly true. I never drove out in HUCII a
style ; and you are setting a very bad ex
ample, Sib- 1. Already I hear com
plaints of Jjlie Slome, Elsie Harrington
and several others driving a fast pair,
and all because they have seen you doing
it."
"Why, mother, i never ask any ono to
follow my example. I do as I ??lease,
and I have a perleet right to, so long as
I know in my heart I do nothing wrong,
and this day puta an end to it ; if Her
bert Talfourd interferes with mc again I
hall certainly otlend him."
"My dear, you must remember he is
an old friend ol the family, and nt pres
ent our guest. If he were not very much
interested in your welfare he would nut
speak at all to you, for I'm sure your
conduct and speech have often give him
"Well, I will not be dictated to by
him, and he can hereafter take an inter
est in some one that will appreciate it
I don't. There I"
Sibyl's "there" must have settled it,
for Mrs. Kenmere said no more, but suc
cumbed, aa she had done all her life, to
ber willful child.
"I do detest him, and I won't put up
with it," murmured Sibyl, as she made
her way to her own room, with an angry
flush upon her beautiful face.
As sue opened her room-door she saw
her maid sitting weeping, and instantly
the anger died out of her face, and a look
of sympathy was in it? stead.
"Is vour little nephew any worse,
Marie?" asked Si hy I.
"Oh, no, Miss Sibyl, be's not worse,
but I could not keep back my tears when
I came hom ?. I am crying out of pure
fratitude. /our kindness has saved his j |
ife, Mi?fl Sibyl. Can I ever do enough
to repay you."
"The little fellow is much better,
then ?"
And the society belle turned away, and
with a quick movement touched ber eyes
with her handkerchief.
"He will be no time recovering now,
the doctor says, and he owes his life to
you, Miss Sibyl. Oh, how can I ever
repay you ?"
"You can repay me in one way, Marie
-by never saying anything more about
it. "Have you been to tho Atwood??"
"Yes, Miss Sibyl ; I took the wine and
the fruit, as you told me."
"And how is Mr. Atwood?"
Mr. Atwood was the husband of Sibyl's
seamstress, a man who bail been very
prosperous at one time, but who had
fuiled in business, mid also in health,
until his wife had to take in sewing tor
thc support of bim and their two chil
dren.
Everybody knows what support the
needle of one frail woman can give a
family.
They were on the direct road to starva
tion when Sibyl Kenmore's maid found
out their condition and reported the
same to her mistress.
"Very low indeed, M?BS Sibvl ; be can
not last many days," answered Marie.
''Is there anything else we cnn do for
her, Marie ?"
"Bless your tender heart, my mistress,
you have, already supplied all their
wants. The doctor says nothing more
can he done for his patient."
"Order the carriage early to-morrow
morning, Marie, and we will call there."
"Oh, you are so good, Miss Sibyl !"
Sibyl suppressed a sigh as she said :
"If those who had enough and to spare
of this world's treasure do not give to j
(.Sod's destitute who should?"
Sibyl returned from her drive next
morning, cast aside her bonnet and man
tle when she entered the sitting-room,
and, seeing Herbert Talfourd seated there
ridding, shs Attn?? herself into m r-htiir
exclaiming:
"Ob, dear! I do not know what to do
with myself."
Herbert Talfourd half-closed his book,
and looked over at her half curiously,
half pityingly.
"A victim of the demon ennui, I sup
pose," said Herbert.
"I 8UppCi6 so.!!
And Sibyl smothered a little yawn.
"You see i have attended to all my
dress-making and shopping for this week,
und here it ia only Wednesday, leaving
mc all the rest of the week with nothing
to do. There is no new novel out, and I
feel too tired-or lazy, if you like-to
drive, visit, or gossip."
Sibyl uttered thisspeech defiantly, and,
half closing her eye*?, leaned back in ber
chair.
"And you have never anything to
think about but shopping, visiting, etc.,
Sibvl?" said Herbert, with an air of re
proach.
"Why of course not."
And Sibyl opened wide her eyes and
flashed defiance at Mr. Talfourd.
"What else should a leader of society
have to think about ? I beg pardon. I
forgot what a tine contempt Mr. Talfourd
entertained for leaders of society."
"And yet," said Herbert,' without at
tempting to contradict Sibyl's remark,
"what glorious opportunities for doing
good have the (cadera of society ! Think
of what an example you might set young
ladies, und elderly ladies. Sibyl, who fol
low in your footsteps. You call yourself
i leader, Sibyl, while you ?it here with
folded hand?, nnd thc beggar crying nt
pour gate-"
"Well, let one of tho servants gire him
icincthing to eat. Do you wish mo to go
town and answer the knock?"
And Sibyl's defiant laugh filled the
.oom.
"Oh, Sibyl!"
And Herbert Ttvlfouro's handsome face
looked graver than ever she saw it.
"It is not the cry of one, but ol' thou
sand* that rends the air around you.
Flic starving, the homeless, the dying arc
'caching out their bands to such na you
[br succor, and you sit here and say you
liave nothing to do."
"I said I was tired, Mr. Talfourd," and
Sibyl rose ; "too tired even to sit und lis
ien to you talking this morning. If you
will excuse me-"
"Sibyl !"
Hu was beside her, and had her hand
clasped in his.
"I know how you detest me, for I have
.ifton heard you saying it, but I will
ineak out, anti you must listen to me this
time, for i will never lecture you again.
Sibyl, for tito sake of those who are in
luenced by you, you must rise to a better
life, for remember that
" - -No life
L'an be |>urer in its purpose, and strong in
its strife.
And all life not be purer and stronger there
by !. "
"And if Mr. Talfourd has finished his
.ay, i'll have thc pleasure of bidding you
rood morning," and, quickly withdraw
ing her hand from his clasp, Sibyl swept
from the room.
Herbert Talfourd stood motionless
where Sibyl left him, his heart torn by
.'onflicting emotions.
Sibyl Kenmere was the only woman ho
?vcr loved, and his love was in vain,
lie could not tell her that he loved her
while she felt as she did toward him,
neither did he wish her to know that he
iv aa her slave whilo she lcd her present
life; *br Herbert hated the Bo-called
leaders of society, gay butterflies of fash
ion. But before to-day bo could not be
lieve that Sibyl was given up body and
soul to frivolous gayety. She was a
moiled, petted child, but he thought that
he heart in her bosom beat warm and
true.
One, two, three weeks nnssed away,
md if Herbert Talfourd bad turned to
ce, Sibyl thought he could not be colder.
Ile never interfered with,'never advised
1er now. Perhaps >t was this letting ber
levcrely alone that made Sibyl forget
how she detested him.
Now this non-interference might ac
:ount for Sibyl no longer detesting Mr.
I'alfourd. hut why it should keep him
continually in the young lady's mind we
utnnot say. Sibyl was not a moment
done with her thoughts, and very often
when she was not alone willi them, they
were on Herbert Talfourd.
"What can have come over me ? I am
lot like myself," Sibyl would say in her
iwn mind, aa sue wandered through the
nouse like a restless spirit. Hut one day
while sitting thinking of Herbert Tul
fburd, she burst into tears, and with a
woman's fine consistency, wondered if he
was never again going to take any inter
est in her, and in ber tears she mur
mured :
"I do some little good secretly that he
knows nothing of; but hu spoke the
trtuh- openly I set a bad example. Oh.
ihall I ever meet another man ns good
ls he !"
And after this flood of tears, Sibyl was
very confident that she no longer detested
Herbert Talfourd.
* * # * * #
"Hu is dying, mitts, dying fast," Haid
Mrs. Atwood, us olby! stood by the bed
ode of thc sick man. "Hut God has
been very good to him, miss. He has
?cnt bim another friend to-day, Mr. Her
bert Talfourd, whom we knew in our bet
ter duys, and oh, Miss Kenmere, he bas
dready promised my husband to provide
for me ami the children. I told Mr.
Talfourd that you had promised to do
that ; but you have already done f?
much-so very much for us. Mica Ile?
mere, that I am glad somebody has come
to your relief."
Sibyl's heart gave a great bound.
Shu never could humble herself to tull
Herbert that she had always gone among
Loo poor and needy and helped them ;
hut now bc knew that shu was not given,
heart and soul to dress, fashion and gay
ety, nnd-shu was glad.
"Miss Kenmere, my best friend," said
the dying man, opening his eye.'?, "you
may never again nee me alive. will
von say a prayer for me, for He will sure
ly hear au angel's voice."
Sibyl, with tears in her eyes, knelt be
side thc bed and prayed aloud.
While Sibyl's voice lilied the room the
door opened and a man entered.
In an instant hu took in thu scene be

side, he dropped on his knee beside
Sibyl, bent his face on the coverlet, and
wept from the fulness of his heart.
When Sibyl finished her beautiful
prayer she simply turned and laid ber
hand on the man's head, saying
"Herbert, (Jod bless you."
And kneeling there, with Sibyl's hand
upon his head, Herbert knew that his
love was not in vain-that he would
never again hear how she detested him.

LONGSTREET ON GETTYSBURG. I
The lire itt Fighter's Narrative nf ?hat fatal j
Way.
A narrative of tho Pennsylvania cam
paign, from thc beginning to the dose,
written by Gen. James Longstreet, is
published" in thc Philadelphia Times.
(ten. I/ongstreet tells some things that
have never been told, and reviews the
operations of 18(53 from a point of view
that is in many respects more advanta
geous than is possible to any other man
now living, since no man now living was
so prominently concerned in them.
THE FIGHT ON JULY 1ST.
The encounter on the 1st of July (Jen.
I^omrstreet shows to have been wholly
accidental, and it wits then that he be
lieves Lee committed an error in not
either vigorously prosecuting tho tempo
rary success, or else manreverlng so as tn
compel Meade to make the attack, (len.
Longstreet continues as follows: When I
overtook (?en. Lee at 5 o'clock that after
noon he said, to my surprise, that he
thought nf attacking tien. Meade u?mn
thc height.'< the next ?lay. tien. Lee was
impressed with the idea that by attacking
the Fed?rala he could whip them in de
tail. 1 reminded him that if thc Fed
erals were there in the morning il would
be proof that they had their forces well
in hand, and that"with Pickett in Cham
bersburg, and Stuart out of reach, wc
should be somewhat in detail. Ile, how
ever, did not seem to abandon thc idea
of attack on the next day. He seemed
under a subdued excitement, which occa
sionally took possession of him when
"the hunt was up," and threatened his
equipoise. The sharp battle fought by
Hill and Ewell on that day had given
him a taste of victory.
THE PLAN OK ATrACK.
When I left (icu. Leo on the night of
thc Isl I believe that he bad made up
his mind to attack, but was confident
that ho had not yet deten tined ns to
when the attack should be made. The
assertion first mndo by Gen. Pendleton,
and echoed by his confederates, that I
was ordered to open the ut tack at sunrise
is totally false, (.len. Lee never in his
life gave me orders to open an attack at
a specific hour. He was perfectly satis
lied that when I bad my troops in posi
tion and was ordered to attack, no time
was ever lost. On the night of the 1st I
loft him without any orders at all. On
the morning of the 2nd 1 went to Gen.
Lee's headquarters at daylight and re
newed my views against making an at
tack. He seemed resolved, however, and
we discussed tho probable results. We
observed the position of the Federals,
and got a general idea of the nature ol'
the ground. About sunrise Gen. Lee
sent Col. Venable, of his stall", to Gen.
Ewell's headquarters, ordering ?lim to
make a rcconuoisance of thc ground in
his front, with thc view of making thc
main attack on his left. A short time
niiorivonid li? fellowed Co!. Venable ::;
person. Ile returned at about ll o'clock
and informed me that it would not do to
have Ewell upon the attaek. He finally
determined that I should make'the main
attaek on the extreme right. It was fully
ll o'clock when Gen. Lee. arrived at the
conclusion and ordered the movement.
Our unny wns stretched in an elliptical
curve, reaching from the front of Round
Top around Seminary Ridge, and envel
oping Cemetery Heights on the left;
thu- covering a space of lour or five
miles. The enemy occupied the high
ground in front of us, being massed with
in a curve of about two miles, nearly
concentric with the curve described by
our forces. His linc was about 1,400
yards from ours. Any one will s^o that
the proposition for this inferior force to
assault and drive out thc masses of troops
upon the heights was a very problemati
cal one. My orders from Gen. Lee were
"to envelop the enemy's left uti?.! begin
the attack there, following up as near as
Iinasible the direction of the Emmetts
mrg road."
THE BATTLE OPENED.
My corps occupied our right, with
Hood on thc extreme right and McLaws
next. Hill's corps was next to minc, in
front of the Federal centre, and Ewell
was on our extreme left. My corps, with
Pickett's division absent, numbered hard
ly 13,000 men. I ren!i?ed that the fight
was to be a fearful one, but being assured
that my flank would be protected by the
brigades of Wilcox, Perry, Wright, Posey
and Mahone moving en echelon, and that
Ewell was to co-operate by a direct attack
on the enemy's right, and Hill to threaten
his centre and attack if opportunity of
fered, and thus prevent reinforcement*
from being launched cither against my
self or Ewell, it seemed that we might
possibly dislodge thc great army in front
of us. At half-past 3 o'clock the ordci
was given Hood to advance upon thc
enemy, and hurrying to the head of Mc
Laws division. I moved with his line
Then waa fairly commenced what I dr
not hesitate to pronounce the best tbret
hours' fighting ever done by any troop;
on any battle-field. Directly in front c
us, occupying the peach orchard, on i
piece of elevated ground that Geu. Lei
.i...:_i ,__ ?" ,9L._i i."i.i r... i.:.. .._?:i

lory, was thc third corps of the Federals
commanded by Gen. Sickles. My mei
charged with great spirit and dislodge!
the Federals Irom the peach orchard wit!
but little delay, though they fought ?tub
bornly. We were then ou the crest o
Seminary Ridge. The artillery wa
brought forward and ?nu into position a
the peach orchard. The infantry swop
down the slopes and soon reached tin
marshy ground thut lay between Semi
nary and Cemetery Ridges, fighting thei
way over every foot of ground and again?
overwhelming odd?. At every step w
found that reinforcements were pourini
into the Federals from every side. Noth
in;-, coUii4 hiop IT-y mon, However, ?r?i
they commenced their heroic charge o
tiie side of Cemetery Ridge. Ouratlae
was to progress in the general directio:
of the Emmetlsburg road, but the Fed
oral troops, as they were forced fror
point to point, availing themselves of th
stone fences uud boulders near the moun
tains as rallying point*, so annnyed on
right flunk that Geu. Hood's division wu
obliged to make a partial change of fror
so as ti relieve itself of thia galling flan
fire. This drew Gen. McLaws ti lilt!
further to thc right than Gen. Lee ha
anticipated, so th-t the defensive ad var
tages of the ground enabled thc Federa
to delay our progress until they coul
occupy Little Round Top, which thc
just then discovered waa the key to the
position. The force thrown upon th
point was so strong as to seize our righ
as it were, in a vise.
THE CHARGE UP CEMETERY RI DOR.
Still thc hattie on our main 1'jis coi
tinued to progress. Tho siter .ion was
critical one. My corps had bi en fightii
over an hour, having encountered ar
driven buck linc after line of the enem
In front of them was a high and ruggt
ridge, on its crest the bulk of the urn
of the Potomac, numbering six to on
and securely resting behind strong po.*
tiona. My brave fellows never hesitate
however. Their duty was in front
them, and they met it. They charger! t
the hill in splendid style, sweeping ever
thing before them, dislodging tho eneu
in tho face of a withering fire. Win
they luid fairly started up the second
riilge I discovered that they were suller
ing terribly from a fire that swept over
their right and left ilauks, 1 also found
that m> left flank waa not protected by
the brigades that were to move m echelon
with it. Mc Laws' line was consequently
spread out to the left to protect its Hank,
mid Hood's line was extended to the right
to protect its flank from the sweeping fire
t>f the large bodies of troops that were
posted on Hound Top. These two move
ments of extension so drew my forces out
that I found myself attacking Cemetery
Hill with a single linc of battle against
not less than 50,000 troops.
My two divisions at that time were cut
down to eight or nine thousand men, lour
thousand having been killed or '.rounded.
Wo felt at every stop the heavy stroke of
fresh troops-the ettirdy, regular blow
that tells a soldier instantly that ho hus
encountered reserves or reinforcements.
Wc received un support at all, and there
was im evidence of co-operation on any
side. To urge my men forward under
these circumstances would have been
madness, and I withdrew them in good
order to the peach orchard that we had
taken from the Federals early in the
afternoon, lt may he mentioned here ns
illustrative of the dauntless spirit of these
men thul when (?en. Humphreys, of
Mississippi, was ordered to withdraw his
troops from the charge he thought there
was some mistake, and retired to a cap
tured battery near the swale between the
two ridges, where he halted, and when
ordered to retire to the new line a second
time he did so under protest. Our men
had no thought of retreat. Tiley broke
every line they encountered. When the
order to withdraw was given a courier
was sent to lien. Lee informing him of
thc result of the day's work.
A MAHVELLOUK ASSAULT.
Before pursuing this narrative further,
I shall say a word or two concerning this
assault. I am satisfied that my force,
numbering hardly 13,000 men, encoun
tered during that three and a half hours'
of bloody work not. less than lj.5,000 of
the Federals, and yet their charge was
not checked nor their line broken until
we ordered thom to withdraw. I found
that night that 4.529 of my men, more
than one-third of their total number, had
been left on thc field. History records
no parallel to the fight by these two di
visions on thc 2nd of July at Gettysburg.
EWELL'S INACTION.
It maj* bo imagined that I was aston
ished nt thc fact that we received no sup
port after we hail driven the Federals
from the peach orchard and 1,000 yards
beyond. If (Jen. Kwell bad engaged the
army in his front at that time (say -i
o'clock) he would have prevented their
massing their whole army in my front,
and while he and I kept their two wings
engaged Hill would have found their
centre weak, nnd should have threatened
it while i broke through their left and
dislodged them. Having failed to move
at 4 o'clock while the enemy was in his
front, it wr.s *tlll moro surprising that he
did not advance at fi o'clock willi vigor
and promptness when the trenches in
front of him were vacated, or rather
held by one single brigade, (as (icu.
Meade's testimony before the committee
on the conduct of the war states.) 11 ml
be taken these trenches and scattered the
brigade that held them he wo .d have
found himself in the Federals' flank and
rear. His attack in the rear must have
dislodged the Federals, as it would have
been totally unexpected it being be
lieved that ho was in front with me.
Hill charging noon thc centre at the
same time would have increased their
disorder, and we should have won thc
Held.
O KN. LEK'S DETERMINATION.
I did not see Gen. I ce that night. On
thc next morning he caine to see me, and
fearing that he was still in bis disposition
to attack, I tried to anticipate him by
saying: "General, I have bad my scouts
out all night, and I find that you still
have an ext 'lient opportunity to move
around to the right ol' Meade's army and
manouvre him into attacking us.'' He
replied, pointing with his fist at Ceme
tery Hill: "Thc enemy is there, and I
am going to strike him." I felt then
that tt was my duty to express my con
victions. I said : "General, I have been
a soldier all my life. I have been with
soldiers engaged in fights by couples, by
squads, companies, regiments, divisions
nnd armies, and should know ns well as
any one what soldiers can do. It is my
opinion that no fifteen thousand men
ever arrayed for battle can take that no
sition," pointing to Cemetery Hill. (len.
Lee, in reply to this, ordered me to pre
pare Pickett's division for tho nttack. I
should not have been so urgent had I not
foreseen the hopelessness of the proposed
assault. I felt that I must say a word
against the sacrifice of my men ; and
then I felt that my record was snell that
Gen. Lee would or could not misconstrue
my motives. I snid no more, however,
but turned away. Tb a most of the morn
ing was consumed in r/aiting for Pickett's
mc:: and getting into position. Thc plan
of assault was as follows : Our artillery
was to bo massed in a wood from which
Pickett was to charge, and it was to pour
a continuous fire upon the Cemetery.
Under cover of this fire and supported
by it Pickett was to charge.
Our artillery was in charge of General
E. P. Alexander, a brave and gif'twd ofli
cer. I bad instructed Gen. Alexander,
being unwilling to trust myself with the
entire responsibility, lo carefully observe
the effect of the fin: upon the enemy,
and when it began to tell lo notify Pick
ett to begin the assault.
PICKETT'S CHARGE.
The cannonading which opened along
both lines was grand. In a few moments
a courier bronglit a note to (Jen. Pickett,
ii-hr* ivnu utiirwljmr n.>pr ?ne ffotU A ! 0 X li ti -
djr, which, after reading, he banded lo
me. It was as follows : "If you are com
ing ut all you must come at once, or I
can't give you proper support; but thc
enemy's fire has not slackened at all ; at
lci"st eigmcen guns aro still firing from
thc cemetery itself."
After I had read the note Pickett said
to me : "General, shall I advance'.'" My
feelings had so overcome me that I would
not ^.peak for fear of betraying my want
of confidence to him. I bowed adinna
tion and turned to mount my horse.
Pickett immediately said, "I shall lead
my division forward, sir." I spurred my
horse to t'.r wood where Alexander wn?
stationed with artillery. When 1 reached
him be told nie of thc disappearance of
ibo seven guns which were to have led
thc charge with Pickett, and that his
ammunition was so low that he could not
properly support the charge. I at once
ordered him to stop Pickett until tho
ammunition bad been replenished, lie
informed me that ho had no ammunition
with which to replenish. I then saw
that there was no help for it, and that
Pickett mustadvance under his orders. He
swept past our artillery in splendid style,
and the men marched steadily and com
pactly down thc slope. As they started
up tho ridge over one hundred- cannon
from tho Drcastworks of tho Federals
hurled a rain of cannister, grapo and
shell down upon them; still they pressed
on until halfway up the slope, when tho
crest of the bill was lit with a.solid sheet
of flame a* tho masses of infuntry rose
and fired. When tho Hitiokc cleared
away Pickett's divinion wa? gone. Near
ly two-thirds of hin mea lay dead ou the
field, and the survivors were sullenly re
treating down the hill. Mortal man
could not have stood that fire. In half
an hour the contested field was cleared
and tho battle of Gettysburg was over.
The Trnih About Liberia.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 6.
The department of State bas received
information from Liberia on the subject
of the condition of that country mid
its adaptability for colonization. Il is
represented that the frequently repeated
statements as to thc fertility of thc soil
and the beauty of the c ?untry are correct,
bul that me climate on I ho seacoast is
very dangerous to all but the natives.
Horses, mules and donkeys cannot live
there. Horses are found in thc interior,
but when brought to the seacoast sicken
and die. Although as to temperature
constant summer prevails, yet tho mias
matic influnce caused by tho heavy rains
alternating with hot sunshine causes
sickness during six month of the year,
and during thu remaining six months the
power of the sun is such that it is almost
impossible for any but natives to work.
The mean temperature is about eigty-five
degrees, but on account of the dampness
of the climate the heat is sultry, depress
ing and weakening. There is still very
little civilization, and very little agricul
tural enterprise.
Liberia has never produced sufficient
food for her own consumption, "rid al
though she should be a great rice-grow
ing country, rico is imported from Eng
land and other countries, and sold at four
dollars a bushel-twice tho cost at which
better rice could bc grown and sold there.
Flour is fourteen dollars a barrel, butter
one dollar a pound, and hams from five
dollars to eight dollars each. Other pro
visions arc proportionately high. There
is mit a plow in usc in Liberia, and the
agricultural implements arc of tho most
Iirimilive character, such as eu tl asses,hoes,
lill-hooks, &.C.. Thorn aro no public
schools. The immigrant has to compete
with the native labor. The natives are
strong and hardy, and one of them will
do the work of a horse nt fifty cents a
day.
The settlers wanted in Liberia, as
thoughtful and prominent Liberians re
cognize, arc those who can afford and
would prefer to pay their expenses of
voyage and settlement.
Tlie .nek hilly country is said to be
fine and Healthy, but it is penetrable only
by tho foot-paths which have been cut
by the natives through the almost im
penetrable forests, and everything must
be borne ou tho heads or backs of native
carriers, as there are no roads. The fact
is that the settlers cannot go tn tho "high
hills mid undulating plains" said lo bein
thc interior of Africa without means to
provide themselves with roads, and with
out treaties of commerce ned friendship
'.'.:!!'. thc r-.,;.; petty ' i ?gs, wS?C ar?
in many instances ci'oe.- openly or
covertly hostile. Il wuild frequently
be noccHsnry to enforce auch treaties by
means of an armed force, as England and
other European powers which have
African possess i uns have found from ex
perience.
An interesting account of the plan of
African development carried out by the
llritish at Sierra Leone is given. At
first young Africans from the colony were
educated in Europe, with thc view of
qualifying them to liai? .'.id lend their
countrymen, but it was found that such
education somewhat unfitted them for
their lifo in Africa, and, therefore,
schools and a college were established at
Sierra Leone for the education of young
Africans, hundreds of whom are now ed
ucated yearly and prepared to tako an
active part in the development of their
country. So fsr as yet seen this plan of
thc evangelization and civilization of
Africa by the indigenous peoples with
the aid of foreign nations seems practi
cable and likely to succeed. Tho estab
lishment of manual labor schools in Li
beria is suggested. Some of the native
tribes, especially tho Vei tribe, forty
miles from Monrovia, are of remarkable
intelligence, ami could be niadi.'. usn of in
the development of Liberi:..
A pille Trees.
It is well known to pomningists that
apple trees form their fruit buds in tho
early part of thc growing season on wood
of the previous year's growth. Aa a
matter of course, in thc bearing season,
the-so fruit buds must bc grown and per
fected while the tree is taxed lo sustain
the growth of a crop of fruit. If this
crop of fruit is very large, '.liing every
part of the tree, there is but little chance
(br thc production of fruit-buds for the
next season. Sometimes, in the bearing
year, there will bo a section of tho tree,
from some i nknown cause, barren, and
that section #111 produce n good crop the
next year, while tho portion which bore
will be barren. Wo have irees of this
character in our orchard. These facta
go to provo that the apple tree can not
perfect a large crop of fruit annually.
This is a great misfortune. Thu apple is
such a wholesome luxury, such a neces
sity lo gone living, that it is very desira
ble that there should be au abundant
supply every year. Is there any means
by which so desirable a result can bo ac
complished ?
We know of but ono way, and thnt i
such a difficult one that we can hardly
expect it to bo employed to any consid
erable extent. It is to remove tho blos
soms from a part of tl.o trees on the bear
ing year, or, perhaps, it would bo less
labor to cut or pick oft the young fruit as
soon as formed. We think this would
bo pretty certain to induce the growth of
fruit-buds for tho next year's crop. But
will this change bo permanent, so that
tho trees thou fronted will '?olltinilO tr,
I . " -- '. . .i ._-e
oear meir largest crops m mc vvma ui
scarcity ? Wo can see but one cause that
may prevent it, and that is the fol! . wing :
Every few years occurs a season when,
from some cause or other, (perhaps a
heavy frost while tho trees are In bloom,)
there is a completo failure of thc crop.
Then ali the trees would form fruit buds
and probably boar P heavy crop the suc
ceeding year. We think this also ex
plains why orchards planted different
yoars, and perhaps beginning to bear in
alternate years, after the lapso of a few
years are all bearing together.- Cor.

The foll?n tag ufTidavU reveals ?onie of
tho true inwardness of the election of J.
J. Patterson to tho .Senate and the part
played hy his man Friday :
JOINT INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE,
COLUMUIA. Sept. 12, 1877.
J. Felder Meyers, Esq., being duly
sworn, deposes on oath as follows:
J. Felder Meyers is my name, residence
in Orangeburg, S. C. I was a member
of thc legislature from Oraugeburg
County for the sessions of 1872-3 and
1873-4.
The election of John J. Patterson to
the office of United States Senator was
during the first of these sessions, in De
cember, 1872. A abort time before the
slid election Gen. H. O. Worthington
carno to mo, nnd said that Patterson
wanted to see me, that Patterson h'dd
some money for tho boys who would volo
for him. I don't recollect positively
whether Worthington named any specific
amount or not. Worthington on several
occasions urged ?ne to go and see Patter
son.
I called on Patterson nt his rooms, over
where Kino used to keep, and was ushered
into Patterson's private room by Gen.
Worthington. There were several in tho
room nt the time ; don't remember who,
except that Senator Jamison, of Orange
burg, was one. Patterson asked them to
0 out, as he desired to see me on private
usiness. They went out, and Patterson
and myself remained in the room.
Patterson began tho conversation by
speaking of the excitement over tho ap
proaching election of United States Sen
ator, and said ho lind euchred Scott and
some others in some railroad transactions.
I think ho mentioned the Greenville
Railroad for one, and thai, while they
didn't expect to bc elected, they wore
trying to makehimspend ns much money
as possible. That ho was ready to spend
thc money, and ns tho members of the
Legislature bad had tu spend a good deal
to got here, he didn't expect them to vote
for him for nothing. He said ho had
Senator Jamison, and that ho thought if
ho could get mo he would Becuro tho
House delegation. He then asked roo if
1 would voto for him, and I told him I
had not thought over tho matter yet, but
I would give him an answer before the
election. Ho then said that if I made up
my mind to vote for him he had five hun
dred dollars for mc, and to call in and
get it, and to bring tho House delegation
from Ornngcburg along with me if I
could. I then left him.
I saw Mm again on tho morning of tho
day before the election ; he was in com
nany with Worthington, I think. I told
liim I had made up my mind not to voto
for him. Ho said ho had the Orange
burg Senator and tho balance of. tho
members from Ornngcburg, and that I
had better come over with tba r^st. If?
? renewed the offer of fivo hundred dollars
if I would do sn, I declined the oiler.
At tho election I voted for R. K. Scott.
Resides the five hundred dollars at the
first interview, Patterson also told me
that we, i. e., his Orangcburg supporters,
could have the control of the postofilec at
Oraugeburg if ho was elected.

The natives wera full of auocdotes of tho
visit to their settlement at Capo Ingle
field of a party of white men, who canje
among them many years ago, perishing
io a singlo winter of cold anti hunger,
and who were buried with their books,
papers ami valuables beneath heaps of
stones. From tho Esquimnux's descrip
tion, these mon wcro cvidcutly the rem
nnnt of Franklin's exnoditiou, whose fate
and burial-place hud been before un
known. The natives exhibited several
relics as proof of thc accuracy of their
statements, and Rn ry succeeded in ob
taining from them sonic spoons, one
marked with Franklin's crest and tile
others with an unknown monogram.
Thc natives offered to pilot tho crew of
the A. Houghton to thc mounds, but thu
sailors were in no condition to make a
thousand miles' journey of exploration.
Mr. Rarry's story, however, has induced
Morrison & Brown, tho well known New
York shipping agents, who fitted out tho
Polaris, to send an expedition next
spring, under Mr. Rarry's command, to
discover tho burial-mounds of these last
of Sir John Franklin's men, and obtain
the valuable relics which are probably
preserved lhere If the Rritish govern
ment's offer of $100,000 for the recovery
of the recels of tho expedition is still
open, thc firm will equip a. vessel nt their
own expense ; if not, they will try to se
cure subscriptions of $15,000, and, if that
fails, they will send a whaler, BO that the
expenses may be defrayed by cruising
for oil. Mr. Rarry proposes to land on
the western shore of Hudson's Ray, and
reach Cape Inglefield, 500 miles distant,
by means of sleds and dogs. Sir John
sailed on his fatal expedition, with tho
ships Erebus and Terror, in May 1845.
Tho protracted absence of tho party
caused great anxiety, and ir? 1848 bogan
the series of rescue expeditions, by the
Rritish Government and by private par
ties, which have cost so great an cxpen
i .Hture ot treasure to so little eUect. Lady
Franklin's faithful devotion caused re
peated efforts to be made, for many years
after hope itself hid died out of cory
other heart ; and in 1850, at Capo Riley,
the explorers carno upon tho site of a
tent, paved with small stones, and tho
bones of birds. At Recchy Island, near
the entrance of Wellington Channel,
empty meat-cans were found, and tho
embankment of a house; also working
places for carpenters and other workmen,
and finally threo desolate frozen graves,
whore members of the party were buried,
who, it appeared by the mark? ou tho
j stones, died in tho winter of '45-0. Mc
clintock ii '59 found fu'thor traces of
the lost expedition ; but this latest dis
covery, which comes now, after Lady
Franklin's faithful soul has joined her
husband in another world than ours,
