IN THE TWILIGHT. As we grow old, our yesterdays Seem very dim and distant; "We grope, as those in darken'd ways, Through all that is existent; Yet far-off days shine bright and clear With suns that long have faded, ? . And faces dead seem strangely near To those that life has shaded. BK As we grow old our tears are few For friends most lately taken, But fall?as falls the summer dew From roses lightly shaken? When some chance word or idle strain, The chords of memory sweeping, Unlocks the flood-gates of our pain For those who taught us weeping. As we grow old our smiles are rare To those who greet us daily, Or, if some living faces wear The looks that beamed so eaiiy From eyes long closed?and we should smile In answer to their wooing, 'Tis but the Past that shines the while Our power to smile renewing. " As we grow old our dreams at night Are never of the morrow; They come with vanished pleasure bright, ? Or dark with olden sorrow; And when we wake the names we say Are not of any mortals, But of those in some long dead day Passed through life's sunset's portals. [W. E. Cameron. KANGAROO HUNTING. Chasing the Animals with Fleet Horses Through Australian Wilds. From the San Francisco CJironicle. The kangaroo, as is well known, is found only in Australia and Tasmania. Its means of locomotion and defense are so peculiar, and its swiftness so great, that the chase of it is attended with excitement and dangers wholly unique. The hunting the fox in England is over comparatively smooth ground and mod? erate-sized fences, with well-trained horses, while the kangaroo has to be chased over new country, full of holes covered with wild grass, over ditches, fallen trees, among trees and their branches, on horses that have no supe? riors in the world in speed. Then the dang. ? s that you are to eucounter when you overtake the kangaroo, though not in the reality extreme, are as great as those met in the tiger bunt as usually conducted, while in the latter you have not the excitement and danger of the chase. The place where I write is about 200 miles from the ocean shore, on the banks of a beautiful river, shaded with eucalyptus trees. These trees are the natural growth of the country, cover a large part of it, and are believed, both here and in Europe, to so destroy malaria as to be a sure guarantee against fevers . of all kinds. The couches are examined before retiring at night to see if there are any snakes in them; but none are found. A native, with two women, is camped on the shore near by. Their camp is a half circle of piled up logs, three feet high, while on the open side toward the water, glares a brilliant, fire, lighting up them and the darkness with a lurid, fan? tastic savageness. These natives resem? ble the African more nearly than either of the other four of the human races, and come without doubt from that stuck. Their hair can not be strictly said to be cither hair or wool, but most nearly re? sembles the latter. They are of good size, dark brown, well made, and don't encumber themselves with much cloth? ing. One of their weapons of war is the boomerang, and it is a curious affair. It is made of very hard wood, three feet long, four inches wide, one inch thick at the center, and bends edgeways, so as to make a third of a circle. With the hand they are said to throw this implement 150 yards, cutting off the head of an enemy, and having the weapon return to the feet of the fender. I have seen it thrown that distance and return to the person who threw it. The full-grown male kangaroo is called "boomer," and is about seven and a half feet long from his nose to the end of his tail, the tail , being about three and a half feet of this, _ and one foot iu diameter at its base. He N|? on grass, sometimes invading the i^?of the frontiersman and eating up all hah as. He stands on four legs when feeding, and at no other time. His tail is full ?f powerful sinews, but it is used only to ?ssfet in theepUiferiutn while sitting, stanoH^p^o^tne toes, and run? ning. In a sitting posture he is about four and a half feet high; but when he stands on his toes to survey the country or an enemy, be is taller than a man. He has a soft, gazelle-like expression, but the white teeth gleam between the open lips. His color is brown, tending in age'toward red or gray, according to the species. They weigh (the male) from 150 to 170 lbs. each. The meat tastes somewhat like venison, but it is not very good, though the tail makes excellent soup. The female is under six feet in length, and is different somewhat in ap? pearance from the male. The young, when born, are only an inch long, and are first seen nursing the mother in the pouch in front, where she carries them. They remain in this pouch till they are eight mouths old, and weigh about ten pounds, and long afteward return to it on appearance of danger. When the mother -is hard pressed by an enemy in a chase she throws the young one out of the pouch, who thereby makes its escape. There are kangaroo dogs, very swift and strong, especially adapted to hunting the kangaroo; but no experienced dog will tackle one of them without somebody to back him. Tbey iump about fifteen feet at a time usually, but sometimes twenty or more, and their swiftness is prodigious. Nothing can apparently overtake them in a fair race, and the usual way is to practically surround them. When hard pressed they place their back to a tree for the fight; or, in preference they always strike for the water if there is any near. They try to seize their enemy with the forepaws, and then rip it from top to bot? tom with the middle claws of their hind feet, which are very sharp. If they are in the water they try to hold their enemy under it until he is drowned. They will always leave a dog to attack a man. At 9 o'clock this morning ten men, in? cluding myself, started on horseback, with four dogs, ou a chase. All were experienced in the business except a young Englishman and myself. We took no firearms, a large stick being the only weapon to be used. We had no dif? ficulty in finding the animals. It was disdained to avoid such fences as we found, and we jumped several of a height of four to five feet, always approaching them at a full run. We divided the party, half going to each side of a partly open plain. I soon saw a large kangaroo and two small ones coming toward our party. We waited until they were near enough to see us, when they made a right angle and went off at an astonishing pace, in jumps of fifteen to twenty feet in length, going from eight to ten feet in the air at each jump. We "went for" the big one, but he quickly got beyond our sight, the three having already distanced the dogs. The kangaroo dogs hunt by sight, like the grayhound. These three were all lost, we learned as we met at the point agreed upon. We next surrounded an? other large tract of forest plain and mea? dow, this time dividing the dogs. In a few moments a hundred or more kanga? roo came bounding toward the party with me. The dog with me started for them, and all the dogs and men were at once in pursuit. The kangaroos divided into several parties, each dog selecting one to follow, aud each man following some one of the dogs. My dog went for a boomer, and I also, in company with two others of the party. The boomer stood up, took a long look at us, and then flew. We followed him among the trees and branches, jumping logs and debris of all kind3, and across plains at a fearful rate. The horses needed no urging; their blood was up now. The dog "laid to it," but made no sound. When he would get near the kangaroo the animal would make a jump at right angles and change hia courae, while the dog would shoot on a distance before turning. After a run of this kind for some dis? tance the kangaroo started for a swamp. After reaching that, and going in a dis? tance, he turned his face toward us, standing up on his hind paws to a height o? seven feet, and prepared for battle. Tbe dog went for him, and the fight com? menced. The dog succeeded in getting hold of his tail, and was carried in the air some distance by repeated jumps. The dog then lost his hold, and was seized and put uuder the water. Owing to my having the best horse, I was first to come to the dog's aid. I was warned by shouts not to approach the auimal, but d isregarded them and showed myself a good kangaroo hunter. The animal proved to be eight feet long. The rest of | the party killed two smaller ones, aud 'ater in the day, at another chase, an? other large one was killed. Tbe females do not fight, but run so swiftly that they are rarely overtaken. Rice Planting in tbe Up-Country. We have always held that rice can be made a profitable crop in the up-country, and we are glad to know that tbe many experiments that have been made have shown that we are correct. In Pickens County we are informed of | two trials that have proven very success? ful. Mr. J. T. Hunt, of that county'^ planted last year a small patch of land, something less than an acre, aud after supplying some of bis neighbors with seed therefrom, shipped tbe remainder to Charleston and realkid a net sum of over $67. Capt. Kirk, engineer of the projected Easley and Freuch Broad Railroad through Pickens County, selected a small piece of land along the route, which be planted in rice, and the result, we learn, was even more successful than Mr. Hunt's trial. To come nearer borne, Mr. S. P. Stoney, formerly of Charleston County, living several miles from Greenville City, on the Rutherford Road, planted last year several spots of laud about bis place, and be informs us that the result was all be could expect, and he expects to plant ten aeres of rice on bis farm this year. He has now on band a lot of fine seed and to spare. Mr. Stoney was a rice planter in the low-country, and he has not the least doubt that rice planting in our immedi? ate section can be made very profitable. Most up-country people labor under the mistaken idea that rice requires a low, marshy soil, and must be watered regularly at intervals to ever mature, but this idea must be banished. Upland rice?the sweet white rice? tbe rice that is much sweeter and more nutritious than that raised on the im? mediate saltwater coast, can be grown and matured as successfully on high dry land as corn or*auy other grain, with anything like good seasons. In the lower portion of the State, a hundred miles from the coast, it is a profitable crop, and farmers plant it, many of tbem in preference to cotton, for market; and that, too, on the high and dry soil in the same field with cotton or corn. For tbe benefit of those who may wish to give, it a trial we . will state how it is done. Lay off your rows three feet apart; plough the first three fur? rows ordinarily deep, and split out tbe middles shallow, avoiding throwing up a high bed. Plant in hills, say 18 inches apart, dropping about 8 to 12 grains to the hill; In low. land it .is much easier kept clean of grass j by planting in hills far enough apart" to admit of a hoe between them. The process of cultivating is almost the same as that of cotton, with the exception tbat too much dirt must not be thrown to the rice unless there is a thin stand and the object is to make it "stool." In planting open a shallow, furrow in the middle of the ridge or chop holes with a hoe tbe proper distance apart, and cover with a rake so as to leave no clods or other obstacles to make tbe rice "clinch." In good loose soil it may be covered with a block attached to the plough foot. Young rice is very tender and if cov? ered too deep will not come up. In grassy land it is tedious to work until it has rowu to some size, and is easily kept own if the grass gets a good start. It will "come out," however, after it has been nearly killed by the grass, and will freshen up and grow off quicker, after it has been well worked, than either cotton or corn. It must be ploughed with the regular cotton sweep, but does not require ploughing as often as cotton. Like cottou it cannot grow well if a hard crust, caused by packing rains, is allow? ed to remain unbroken. The middle of April is a good time to plant, and it will ripen by the middle of August. It must be cut with reap hooks, and bandied with more care than wheat or oats, or much of it will be left in the field. It falls off the stalk too easy to be cradled. Tie in convenient size sheaves, and in hauling use a tight wagon body to save the loose rice that will fall off in hauling. Rice is more easily threshed than wheat or oats. Whole crops are often threshed by whipping it out across a bench by band. Another way is to make rail scaffolds and use frails?placing cloths on theground to prevent sand get? ting in the rice. The regular threshing machine is often used. When threshed it must be fanned or winnowed, as there are always more or less "faulty" grains no matter how fine the crop. Youthen have your "rough" rice ready for an always good market, or for pounding. In the low-country where rice is univer? sally planted by farmers, great and small, a mortar and pestle will be found in every man's premises, and "Blind Bill" will "beat" all tbe rice you want for family use, and it is profitable work for the other hands on a rainy day. As to cost of pounding rice for market it|doesn't take the price of a cotton factory to put up a "rice beater." Small water power will run it, and all you've got to do is to get you out four, six or eight or ten mortars by burning or chiseling out one eud of blocks from the trunk of any tough tree, to the depth of about two feet deep, dish or bowl fashion ; station them in a row?have the shaft of your water wheel of sufficient leDgth; with arms to lift the pestles as the wheel turns and drop them into the rice mortars at every turn, and the pounding process is very simple. At a cost of not more than ?100 to $150 any one who has tbe dam and water power and a fanner can soon fix up a perpetual rice beater.?Greenville Chroni? cle. A Sensible King?When Lord Pal merston complimented the late King of the Belgians on the superlative wisdom with which he had managed his rich and cozy little kingdom, tbat astute sovereign answered that his theory and practice of statecraft were equally simple. "The whole of my philosophy," said his Maje.< - ty, "is not toj meddle. When a Prime Minister comes to me for advice or direc? tion,I ask him whether he can command a parliamentary majority. If he says 'Yes,' I go about my busiuess, and feel no furth? er anxiety on thesubject. If he says 'No,' he goes about his business, and my course is equally straight before mo." Some time afterward, in the troublous days of 1848, some demagogues of the extreme party in Belgium appear to have forgot? ten the sort of King with whom they had to deal, and surrounded his country house at Lseken to ask tbat he should abdicate or otherwise cease from ruling over them. On the following morning, therefore, as soon as he was up, his Majesty invited several of his most influential subjects to discuss the question with him, and staled his own case with refreshing frankness. "I have," observed the King, saved a little money in your service; I have an annuity as widower of a British Princess, and I have a life interest in a place called Claremont, which is really a nice house in England, within a pleasant ride of the metropolis of London. If you wish to get ria of me I am ready to go, and all I ask of you is that we may separate upon amicable terms. If you do not desire my immediate departure I must request thet you will protect me from further molestation. I object to have my rest disturbed, especially at bedtime." Van de Weyer and Nothoinb, who were among the chief men in Belgium, undertook to guarautee the King's slumbers from further disturbance, and all ended with serenity and mutual content.?London News. TRAVEL BY RAIL IN MEXICO. An Ascent of Nearly 5,000 Feet Made In Three Hours. The railway from Vera Cruze to the city of Mexico is in many respects one of the most remarkable pieces of engineer? ing of its kind in the world. The cost was very great, taking into account the cheapness of labor in .Iiis country ; but a trip across the mountains should con? vince the most skeptical that not much of the $27,000,000 that it cost to build 2G3 miles of road was m isspent. Between Orizaba and Esperanza the rise is nearly 5,000 feet, and this journey is accomplshed in three hours. The track winds around the hillsides, at one moment crossing an almost bottomless chasm and at another darting through a short tunnel, only to come out at the other side of the hill with greater heights beyoDd. The tropi? cal vegetation ceases; trees and flowers of the temperate zone appear only to make room for pines and mosses. The change seems magical. Far down on the plains that have been left behind, the traveller cau see the sugar cane swaying in the breeze, while he has to button his overcoat close round his neck, and pull up the windows to keep out the keen, frosty mountain air. It is not un? usual to leave Vera Cruz with the ther? mometer at 85? and lind it, six hours after, at 16?. The train stops at a little way? side station at the top of the mountains to take on wood and wAter, and dozena of Indian boys and girls immediately sur? round the train with the most delicious fruit. Plantains, sapotis, and pines of choice bloom can be bought for a mere trifle, half a real (6} cents) procuring a basketful. On leaving Esperanza the railroad . crosses an alkaline plain, where the dust is intolerable; and this plain continues until the city of Mexico is reached. The great peak of Orizaba is now left behind to the northeast, and far away in the southwest the sharp, snow-clad summit of Popocatepetl, and his companion, Iz taccihuatl, or "La Dame Blanche," are seen in the rare, clear air. In fact, the elevation begins to tell upon some of the passengers, and a general fluttering of handkerchiefs shows that the noses of some are giving warning of a tendency to bleed. The principal production of this region of Mexico is the maguey or agave Ameri? cano, bo well known in the States as the century plant. It is no exaggeration to say that between Esperanza and Mexico there are at least one hundred miles of plantations of this shrub, and every year the production is becoming greater. Hundreds of farms are given up to the cultivation of the maguey, and a good plantation yeilds a net profit of from $25, 000 to $100,000 a year. The plant is not ready for use until after several years' growth, and it is then generally about three to four feet in height. When the time has ar? rived for extracting the juice, an incis? ion is made near the foot, in the centre, and the heart is cut out to form a reser? voir in which the juice of the leaves col? lects. This juice is then drawn up by means of a long dried pumpkin called acocotl, and is then emptied into a sheep? skin. It is poured on a cow's hide stretched on a frame, the hair being in? side, and there allowed to ferment. Afterward it is agaia put into sheepski.ua and shipped to market under the name of pulque. This forms the staple drink of Mexico, and, according the rather imper? fect returns of the octroi of the city of Mexico, the duty paid on pulque alone amounts to between $3,000 and $4,000 a day. It is drank instead of water. It is slightly intoxicating, and to the foreign palate it is insipid, tasting like barley water that has soured. The maguey is to Mexico what the vine is to France, or hops to England, ami it has played a prominent part in the history and tradi? tions of the country. The word Mexico is said to be derived from the Indian name of tho maguey {meil)?at least the most ancient Mexican traditions give this derivation. Their great god, who rejoiced in '.be high-sounding name of Huitzilopochli, was said to have been born of a virgin of the noble race of Citli and to have had his cradle in the heart of a metl pli.n t; whence his pet name of mecilli, afterward corrupted into Mexitli. When their new city was built by the Aztees, they called it Mexico, after their tutelary god. On the alkaline plain beyond Esperan? za the traveller is suddenly reminded that neither life nor property i3 protec? ted as it is in less favored climes. A guard of sixteen soldiers in the rear car of the train seems at first to be used merely in order to employ those worth? ies during the short space of time that intervenes between revolutions, and a group of very ragged cavalry, in dirty linen blouses and toeless boots, at every station, does not remove this impression. But as the train stops at a little station, several women dressed in black, accom? panied by young men with black bands round their white sombreros, enter the train. That is their farm that lies under yonder hill, not a half a mile from the railroad, and a few days ago bandits at? tacked their home and killed two of the family. This is no isolated case. At the present moment, there are two young Americans in Mexico who are much more interesting to the natives than is Grant or Sheridan. These young men, scarcely 20 years of age, were travelling lately on a diligence, when they were attacked by Banditti, one of whom seized the horses' heads and called the driver to stop. One o*" the Americans, named Centre, immed.ately shot the ruffian dead, and within half an hour five bandits lay dead ou the field. Six more were afterward found dead or dying, and four who were captured' were hanged. A Romantic Story. The following story has come to the hearing of the Atlanta (Oa.) Constitu? tion : "Many years ago there was a young fellow named Bigelow sent by his father to Yale College. The father was very rich, and the youngster lived in grand style at the university. Suddenly the old gentleman broke up and had to withdraw his son from college. The boy, however, felt the necessity of an educa? tion, and determined to have one any? how. He therefore weut to work and learned a trade as a machinist. While ho was at work his old associates cut him and refused to have anything to do with him. The young ladies with whom he had been a great favorite failed to tecog nize him when they met him. One day when going from his work he met a wealthy young lady who had been his friend. He had his tin dinner bucket over his arm, and supposed she would cut him as all the res?, had done. She smiled pleasantly, addressing him as "Tom," and insisted that he should call and see her a* he had always done. She said, "There is no change in you as far as I am concerned." The years rolled on. The young work-hoy became im? mensely wealthy, and is now the Mayor of New Haven, with an income of $100, 000 a year, and owner of a factory in which 1,500 men aud women are cm Eloyed. The young girl grew to wotnan ood and married. Her husband bor? rowed a large sum of money from Mr. Bigelow, anddied before he had paid it, leaving his family with but little prop? erty. Mr. Bigelow sent her, with his condolence, a receipted note for her hus? band's indebtedness; and now the son of Bigelow, the millionaire, is going to marry the daughter of the one woman who was faithful aud true to the young work-boy at college. A Wasp of Braixs.?Ever since I was a little boy I have noticed frequently that the nests of mud wasps when broken in upon would shell out a lot of dissec? ted spiders and other like insects in smaller proportion. I had always sup? posed that even so formidable c.n insect as a wasp would hardly want anything to do with a good full grown spider, for [ 1 knew enough of the combativeness of | the latter to presume that he would not meekly submit to the sacrifice of | hia progeny to satisfy the appetite of a j wasp. But one day I saw a little de? monstration which made the whole thing very clear to me. You know of j the careful manner in which the spider builds and encloses the nest in which his young are brought forth and reared? Well, I was observing one of these nests one morning, when I saw a mud wasp come buzzing along and alight within an inch or two of it, on the side oppo? site the opening. After all was quiet he proceeded with his little game of strat? egy Creeping noiselessly around toward the opening or entrance to the nest, ho stopped a little short of it, and for a moment remained perfectly quiet. Then reaching out one of his auteu nre, he wriggled it before th( opening and withdrew it. This overture had the desired effect, for the boss of the J nest, as large a spider as one ordinari? ly sees, came out to see what was wrong and to set it to rights. No sooner had the spider emerged to that poiut when he was at the worst disadvantage than the wasp, with a movement quicker than a wink, swung the rear portion of his body around and thrust his sting through the body of hi3 foe, killing him easily and almost instantly. The experiment was repeated on the part of the wasp, and when there was no response from the Inside he be? came satisfied, probably that he held the fort. At all events, be proceeded to enter the nest and slaughter the young spiders, which were afterwards lugged off one at a time. You see this accountsjully for the spi? der lining which we always see in the nest of mud wasps, and makes it all as clear as if that particular wasp had told me beforehand what he proposed by his etrategy to accomplish. Now it is just such demonstrations as this which must convince us of the intelligence of the lower animals, differing only in degree and development from the intelligence of man. Of course much of this goes beyond my comprehension, but I under? stand more about it now than ever be? fore, for I have taken pleasure in observ? ing and studying not only the habits of many other creatures inferior to man, which are popularly* supposed to be gov? erned in their actions by instinct.?Mr. Seth Green in the Rochester Democrat.

The World for 1880 Democrats everywhereshould inform themselves carefully alike of the action ofthclr party through? out thecountrp and of the movements of their Re? publican opponents. A failure to do this In 1876 contributed greatly to the loss hy the Democracy of tlie fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls. The year isso promises to be one of the most In leresii?g 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 changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such an election with iuditrcrence. The Word, as the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which upholds the doctrines of consti? tutional Democracy will steadily represent tho Democratic party in this great canvass. It will do this in no spirit ?f servile partisanship, nut tempe? rately and firmly. As a newspaper the W. *m>, be? ing the organ of no man, no clique.-uic .o interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture it can 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 rll Illings in all that it. publishes. No man, however humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain that he hos been unjustly dealt with in the columns of I ha Wort.?. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boast that It can silence the fair criticism of the Worm). During the past year the world has seen its dailr circulation trebled and its weekly circulation pushed far beyond that of any other weekly news? paper in t he country. This great increase has been won, as the worm) 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 ISrfn 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.
