IN SOUTH CAROLINA* New York Observer. "O winds of March, how soft ye blow Across this lovely land of flowers, The very winds that toss the snow On far-off Northern hills of ours! How strange to dream of storm and cold, Of frosty nights and days of gloom, When jasmine twines its wreaths of gold, And bright azaleas gaily bloom!" So musing, wandering on apart With idle steps, I chanced to stray To where, against the city's heart, An ancient churchyard nestling lay. A sapphire sky was o'er my head, Fre^h springing grass beneath my feet; That quiet dwelling of the dead Seemed made for slumber calm and sweet C'^eat names of old, their country's pride, Were graven here on many a stone; But, passing these, I turned aside To one low cross that stood alone. "He died at Gettysburg." it said, "An only son. Aged twenty years." Down on the grass I laid my head, And wet the grave with bitter tears; ' Forat that moment, to ray thought, Another cross appeared, to rise; Almost the self-same words are wrought Upon the marble where he lies: "At Gettysburg, just twenty-one"? My boy, my hero, young and brave f "He was his mother's only son"? Her heart is buried In bis grave. A voice was sounding in my ears, A voice that spoke with cruel tone: "0 foolish woman! Useless tears! Far better had you kept your own! Who knows which side the right doth lie? Dispute the question as you may, ?Two noble boys went out to die? One life was surely flung away!" "No, no!" I cried. "We needs must take Our journey oft through cloud and night; Yes, even at the morning's break. We turn, bewildered, from the light. The eagle minds, whose steady eyes Can face the sun, alas! are few, But since we cannot all be wise, Thank God, we can at least be true! "The gold is mixed with baser ore, But yet the furnace can refine; In self-devotion, evermore ; *? Some sparks of heavenly metal shine; And so the soldier who laid down , His life for what be-deemed the right, " He Surely'shall not miss thecrown Kept for all heroes in the--fight. "In years to come, when men shall learn To view this conflict from afar, True faith and courage then will bum, Amid the darkness, bike a star. Perhaps the children may exclaim, 'Our fathers stumbled in the night; Their grand devotion shall not shame Our better wisdom, wider sight.'" Then, rising from that holy; ground,. I pmckeaa leaf of budding palm, And laid it gently on the mound. "After the tempest comes the calm; Sleep, gallant boy?the life you gave Its precious fruit one day shall bring; As even now, from out your grave, The flower or sympathy doth spring." ?PkoFacb. SIGNS OF APPROACHING SPRING. Hark I hear the blue bird sing, And that's a sign of coming spring; The wild goose flies away up yander, . ? She's going north along with the gander; The bull froc bellers in the ditches, He's throw'd away his winter britches; The turkey gobbler steps around, ~vTbsdswells and struts and scrapes theground; The hawk for infant chickens watches, And prowls.around till one be cotcbes; The dogwood buds are now a swelling, And yallerjonquills sweet are smelling; The darkey follows his stubborn mule, And lively hollers?"Gee! you fool!" The honey bees are sweetly humming, And everything says spring is coming. / ?Bill Akp. Recalling a War Incident. Referring to the attempted capture of President Abraham Lincoln, the Phila? delphia Press couples the name of Mr. C. Irving Ditty, and says that "Mr. Ditty commanded the rebel cavalry company which was detailed to capture Mr. Lin? coln, in pursuance of the plot arranged by Wilfces Booth and John H. Surratt." To this statement Mr. Ditty takes ex? ception, and this morning publishes an account of the expedition, which reads as follows: "My regiment, first Maryland cavalry, commanded by Colonel, afterwards Gen? eral, Bradley T. Johnson, of this city, in June, 1864, was lying near Richmond, together with a large force of other cav? alry, when wo were ordered north, with several days' rations. I was quite unwell at the outset, grew worse, and on the first night of the march was hurt by a horse. I applied for a short sick leave, when General Johnson, stating that very im? portant movements were on foot which he could not disclose, but in which I would regret not to share, urged me to remain with the command. I did so. "A few days afterward we met General Sheridan at Trevillian Station and fought him for three days, when we returned to Richmond and we marched on Washing? ton and Point Lookout, in lower Mary? land, where there was a large number, of Confederate prisoners, whom we intended to release. "I heard nothing more, except vague rumors of the movement to which Gen. Johnson referred, until after the war closed, when I learned that General Johnson, not Booth, had planned the capture of Mr. Lincoln at the Soldiers' Home, near Washington, where he was then spending the summer. This plan would doubtless have been executed or j attempted, bad not Geueral Early or-' dered General Johnson to cover bis rear while he (Early) advanced on General Hunter at Lynchburg.'' The name of General Johnson being so intimately connected with this circum? stance, and Mr. Ditty being responsible for the assertion that "General Johnson, not Booth, bad planned the capture of Mr. Lincoln at the Soldiers' Home, near Washington," a News reporter called on . * Ganer&l Johnson this morning at bis office, and in a conversation gleaned the following facts from that gentleman: The General said that after the great cavalry- battle between Hampton and Sheridan at Trevillian, on June 10th and 11th, be obtained permission from Hamp? ton to proceed with bis command, First Maryland Cavalry and Bull's Light Ar? tillery, to Maryland, wherejthe plan was to make a rapid raid on "the Soldiers' Home, where President Lincoln stayed at night, capture him, and send him back to Virginia under an escort, while John? son's force was to be divided into two parties, one to cross the Potomac about the Point of Rocks and the other above Williamsport. This plan was frustrated by Early or? dering Jackson to guard the lower valley, while he went after Hunter at Lynch burg; and after that be placed Johnson in command of his advance into Mary? land and as his rear guard on his with? drawal from the State; therefore, there was neither time, inclination nor oppor -?tonity to attempt it. Neither Hampton, Johnson nor Ditty had at that time ever heard the names of Booth or Surratt, and did not know that such men existed. The plan of the cap? ture of President Lincoln was a military plan, originated by soldiers and to be ex? ecuted and carried out by soldiers, acting under military orders, and had in no way, shape, manner or form any connection with any other plan whatever. It was known to Hampton and John? son alone, and the latter afterwards com? municated it to Early. In consequence j of the communication Early forbade him (Johnson) from making direct to Mary . land to try to carry the plan out, and or -\4ered him to cover his rear until he ? Kwiehed to Lynchburg to head off Hun? ter. " Capt. Ditty, Gen. Johnson says, never knew nor heard of any such plan until after the war. *T _ ? Earl Beaconsfield was never better vthan at the present moment. Health and spirits are both excellent, and he is so good a walker that he tires out any lady friends who venture pedestrian exercise with him. BEAUTIES OF THE CIVIL SEEVICE REFORM. Extract from a Speech of the Hon. John F. House. Think of Washington, Jefferson, Ad? ams, Madison, Jackson, or any of the illustrious men who ! ave filled the Pres? idential chair, being placed in a position where a man who had committed a fraud to count them into office could boldly approach the White House and demand of them money for services rendered in such a cause. The bare suggestion is an insult to the memories of those illustri? ous men, which every honest man with the instincts of an American citizen feels like resenting with indignation. Yet Casanave made this demand of Mr. Hayes as compensation for his services as a member of the notorious returning board of Louisiana, and Mr. Hayes con? tributed $1,000 to relieve Casanave's ne? cessities. Why should he have done so ? It will not do to say that it was simply an act of charity prompted by goodness of heart on the part of Mr. Ilayes to re? lieve a friend in distress. I suppose there were hundreds, ay, thousands of men in the United States who voted for Mr. Hayes against whose property executions have been pending since his inaugura? tion. To how many such unfortunate friends has he coutributed money in their distress ? When Casanave first went to him he refused to do anything. When Casanave first went to John Sherman he proffered a hundred dollars, and said he was a poor man, and it was all be couid do. But when Casanave threatened ex? posure and demanded his reward the money was forthcoming. The act speaks for itself. No comment within the bounds of propriety could do the subject justice. Let the .American people look on and make their own comment upon the acts of the man who fills the place that Washington once filled, and upon the party who is responsible to the country for'having him there. But the beauties of civil service-Preform, as illustrated in the State of Louisiana, are by no means confined to the members of the Return? ing Board, ..From J. Madison- Wells down to the most insignificant liar that furnished his mite of perjury in an affi? davit, or the most obscure rascal that brought his contribution of forgery in the shape of false returns, rewards in the way of-Federal appointments have been bestowed with a lavish hand. H. J. Campbell, recognized as the head of the affidavit factory that was set up during the count in the custom house at New Orleans, when perjury was served out in quantities to supply the demand, was made United States District Attor? ney for Wyoming. Nearly all the elec? tors on the Hayes and Wheeler ticket found their services recognized by Hayes and his party in lucrative and comforta? ble appointmeuta. The following is a partial list of the less conspicuous agents who figured in the fraudulent count. It is taken from the report of the Potter investigating committee, and shows with .what care and industry Mr. .Hayes pro? vided for even the humblest man that took part in the scheme of fraud by which he holds his seat as President: SUPERVISORS AND PERSONS CONNECTED TVITH THE ELECTION.

Then re-read Mr. Hayes' lofty pro? fessions of civil service reform as embod? ied in his letter of acceptance, his inau? gural address, his first and last annual messages, his civil service order and the proceedings thereunder. Can any posi? tion, however exalted, can any charity, however multitudinous in its capacity to cover sins, rescue one capable of such professions and such performances from the contempt of every American citizen with virtue enough to admire an honest man and sufficient caudor to despise a hypocrite ? ? Russian securities declined from 2J to 5 per cent, when the news of the last attempt to assassinate the Czar was pro? mulgated. As the Russian debt is aoout $1,800,000,000, this decline represents a depreciation in that class of securities of $60,000,000. It would apparently pay the Russian bondholders to insure the Czar's life. The California Nihilists in this country could probably be induced to sell out for considerably les.s than $50,000,000. ? When a woman takes a queer no? tion she will have her own way, even in death. A young lady in Massachusetts was engaged to be married, when she died. She left $100 of her property con? ditionally to her intended, and $1,000 to a young lady friend. The man was to have the $100 on condition that he mar? ried the other girl, and he did so. ? Some wise man remarked: "No man hi hurt but by himself." Did that man ever visit a dentist? Did he ever play shinney with a mule? Finally, did he ever "sass" his wife, or dispute with his mother-in-law ? Profit, $1,200.?To sum it up, six long years of bed-ridden sickness, cost? ing $200 per year, total $1,200?all of this expense was stopped by three bot? tles of Hop Bitters, taken by my wife. She has done her own housework for a year since, without the loss of a day, and I want every body to know it, for their benefit."?N. E. Farmer. Hunting the Shears. Mrs. Major Wheelock, wife of that old pioueer and eminently respected citizen of that name, leaned over the banister the other morning and answered him : "The shears? Why, they are right down there somewhere. 1 was using them not five miuutesago." The major wanted them to trim off a horseblan'ret at the barn, and he marched into the sitting-room and up to the fami? ly work-basket. Of course they were there. He tumbled a ball of yarn, a paper of pins, a half-made garment, a button-box and a pin-cushion ofFon the floor, made a dive among the bodk'ns, worsted, threads and darning-needles, and the shears did not turu up. He stood the work-basket on its head, but it was no good. Thcu he went over to the what-not and raked off three or four photographs, rattled down a lot of shells and knocked off two books, but the shears were not there. He was red in the face as he went into the hall and called out: "I can't find hide nor hair of 'era, and I don't believe you ever had any I" "Now look again?that's a good man," she replied. "I kuow they are right there?" The major got down on his bands and knees and looked under the lounge. No shears. Then he stood up and looked on the mantle. The nearest approach to shears there was a bent hair-pin. Then he walked around and surveyed each windowsill and gave the work-basket another racket. "I tell you there ain't no shears there or else I'm blinder'n a bat!" he shouted from the hall after he had given the hall tree a looking over. "Why, major, how impatient you are 1" '"There's no impatience about it! I tell you the shears ain't here! No one can ever find anything in this house 1 I had to look a straight hour the other day to find the gimlet!" "If you don't see them in the bedroom I'll comedown." He entered the bedroom, glanced over the bureau and stand, pulled the shams off the pillows and whirled the pillows around, and then took down a hair oil bottle from a bracket and looked into it. The shears were not in the bottle nor anywhere else. Stay! They might have been carried under the bed by that mys? terious household tide which carries arti? cles Irom room to room in an invisible manner. He crawled under, bumped his head on the slats, got dust in his throat; and was backing out with blood in his eye when his wife called out: "Why, what on earth are yon after?" "AfterI After!" he shouted, as he almost coughed his head off?"I'm after them shears I" "Why, here tbey are I They were lying in my sewing chair, right in plain sight," "I don't believe it?I'll never believe it! I looked into that chair over ten thousand times 1" "Well, there they are." "It's no such thing! You've lost 'em or pawned 'em or traded 'em for gum. You've no more order in your house than an old cooper shop!" He walked past the chair into the hall and was going out when she called: "Dear, aren't you going to take the shears ?" "Shears? What shears? I'm going over to the store and buy me a pair of shears, and if any human being in this house ever puts a finger on 'em they'll suffer for it! I'll see if I can't have a pair of shears in my house after being married for upward of forty-three years!" And he pulled down his hat and slammed the door with all his might as he went out?Detroit Free Press. Celestial Sorrow. Commercial street was the scene of strange ceremonials receutly, the occasion bung the fuueral rites of Wrong Hip Ou, the senior member of the firm of Low Sing &Co., doing business in Sacramento street. Owing to the wealth of the de? ceased, the full ceremonies attending the Chinese mode of burial was indulged in by the sorrowing relatives and friends. Early in the morning an awning about twenty feet long was erected on the open street, and under it was placed a rude table covered with a gay red cloth. Upon it stood an elegant brazier filled with incense. Around the edge of the table half a dozen fancy candles were burning. Occasionally an attendant threw incense into the flames of the candles, thus making the air around fragrant with the burning leaves. Near the table were the remains, enclosed in a metal coffin, which was cov? ered by a scarlet pall richly embroidered. Yellow streamers fluttered in the wind, on them being written in Chinese figures various lines from Confucius' writings. Yellow being one of the mourning colors of the Chinese, the body was clothed in a rich yellow silk robe. On the head was placed a gilt crown. The queue was wound round the neck, and the face was well painted. Twelv0 attendants, with white robes, and white streamers wound around theif hats, kepc the crowd from upsetting the table and coffin. On the sidewalk, bent double and bound in sacks and white cloth, were the wife, sister and daughter of the deceased moaning and crying.. Around them stood a number of old women, stoically eating sweetmeats handed around in a box by a young girl, and taking no heed of the women at their feet, but instead talking to themselves and allowing no male to come within their circle. The reason for performing the ceremony In the open air was to allow all Chinamen who desired to gaze for the last time upon the features of the departed, and, since the relentless Joss hovers over the deceased, the opeu air is chosen to give the god more room. Chi? namen do not believe their souls euter the Celestial Kingdom until their bones are buried in the land of their birth. The soul remains around the body until it has been buried in native soil. Then, if Joss is willing, and proper atonement has been made by the deceased'sfriendB in the shape of bogus money, presents, food, &c, to conciliate the irate god, the soul is allowed to enter the celestial gates. The Chinese worship Joss, who is really the evil god, which they account for by saying that the true God is too merciful to hurt his children, but he has placed over them the wicked Joss, who cannot harm them unless they have done evil. The priest officiating was dressed in a black stole and cap somewhat resembling the garments woru by Catholic priests on funeral occasions. A hearse with four horses, followed by twenty carriages, with the usual accom? paniment of tom-toms and fiddles, con? veyed the remains to the Chinese ceme? tery, where they will be kept until the bones arc bleached and ready to be shipp? ed to China. The last ceremony was that of placiug eggs and biscuit in the vault where the dead are kept. The friends then returned to the house of the deceased, feasted on rice and confections and returned to their various homes.? San Francisco Chronicle. ? President Bussey, of the New Or? leans Chamber of Commerce, telegraphs to San Francisco that any number of Chinamen in the latter city may find em? ployment in the sugar, cotton, and rico fields of Louisiana. ? Nashville, Tenn., offers a purse of $100 for the best poem treating of "the fact that Nashville has reached her hun? dredth birthday," Nashville, dash vi He, slasbville, crashville, sashvillc, thrall villc, gasbville, hash vi lie. ? The Chinese appear to be leaving California faster than they are arriving. During November and December the ar? rivals at San Francisco of Chinese were but 571, whilst the departures for China were 2,110. During the fourteen months ending with December the arrivals were 5,699 and the departures 10,947. j ? A Democratic military organization, intended to seat Tildeu by force of arms, was generally believed to exist in the winter of 1877, and the New York Sun quotes interviews with Peter Bowe, the present sheriff of New, York City, and Major John E. Tracy, who say that the organization numbered 200,000 men, and J. M. Corse, "Hold the Fort" Corse, as its commander. It originated in an or? ganization of Union soldiers begun in the spring of 1876, and intended to offset the "Boys in blue" on the republican side. After the election, its leaders began cor? responding as to the possible need for using force to inaugurate Mr. Tilden, and perfected their organization, obtaining countenance and sympathy from officers high in the army and navy. "Baldy" Smith, Franz Sigel, H. W. Slocum, nearly all the Democratic brigadiers in New'York State, M. T. Donohue. "of| New Hampshire," which is probably a mistake for Massachusetts, Steadman, of j Ohio, and some others are claimed in the organization. Itdoe3not appear, how? ever, that arms or ammunition were ever collected or military organization effect? ed. The entire association was probably nothing more than one of those provision? al preparations for possible strife which occupied the attention of politicians on both sides up to the time when Senator Edmunds's electoral bill offered a peace? ful solution. This organization itself, it is worth noticing, divided after that bill became law. ? One hundred masked men rode up to the county jail in Winchester, 111., on the 17th March, battered down the door, disarmed the guard, and with revolvers in hand, compelled them to give up the keys; they then opened the cell of Joseph J. Field and riddled him with pistol shots. Field was incarcerated for murder, and had wealthy connections. ? The New York Herald finds in the Massachusetts Legislature 41 Republi? cans for Grant, 37 for Blaine, 36 for Ed? munds, and 75 for all other candidates, leaving Grant and Blaine badly in the minority.

Collector Swope writes to Ben Deer ing that in the year ending June, 1879, 8,111,781 gallous of whiskey were made in Kentucky.

A failure to do tl-.is in 1576 contribute!! greatly, to the loss by the Democracy of I lie fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls. The year LSSO promises to tie one of the most in torcsiing and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness a presidential election which may result in re-establishing tho Government of this country on the principles of its constitutional founders', or in permanently chancing tlte relations of the States to tho Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such an election with indifference. The Word, as the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which upholds tho doctrines of consti? tutional Democracy will steadily represeut tho Democratic party in this great canvass. It will do this in no spirit of servile partisanship, but tciune rately and firmly. As a newspaper the World, be? ing the organ of"no man, no clique and no interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture it ean make of each day's passing history in the city, the state, the country and the world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy first of all things in all that it publishes. No man, however humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain thai he hos been unjustly dealt with in the columns of the Would. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boast that it can silence the fair criticism of the World. Dtirihg the past year the Woiu.n has seen its dailv circulation trebled and Its weekly circulation pushed far beyond that of any other weekly news? paper in the country. This great increase has been won, as the World"believes, by truthfulness, en? terprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to itself and to its readers in dealing with the'questions of the day. It is our hope and it will be our endeavor that the World's record for ISSO may be written in the approbation and the support of many thousands more of new readers in all parts of this Indissoluble Union of Indestructible States.
