MARION AJiD IIIS 31 EN. Lydia Mack?y and Col. Tarleton. Earper's Magazine. In 1783 South Carolina was completely overrun by the British. Lord Cornwallis held qniet possession of Charleston, had defeated Gates and DeKalb at Camden, driven Marion to the swamps of Pee Dee, scattered the forces of Sumter, and estab? lished Iiis headquarters in the Waxbaws, on the border of North Carolina, while Tarleton had his on the Hanging Rock Creek, about thirty miles North of* Cam? den. Davie alone was left with a small force on the West bank of the Catawba, making occasional sorties to harass the outposts of the British. The Scotch-Irish and the Hugenots of South Carolina were mostly Whigs, or rebels. The English colonists were di? vided; the majority were Whigs; but there were a goodly number of loyal men among them who conscientiously espoused the cause of the mother country, and were called Tories. Lancaster county was one of the strong? holds of the Whigs. The Mcllwains, Truesdalcc, Douglasses, Cunninghams, Twittys, McDonalds, McMullens, Mack eys, and others of Scotch-Irish origin oc? cupied and held the Southern portion of Lancaster, and Chas. Mackey was their acknowledged leader; while the Craw fords, Dunlaps, Jacksons (General Jack sou was then sixteen years old), Whites, Masseys, Dodys, Curetons, and others of the same stock held the Waxhaws, in the Northern sections of the county. The Whigs had always made Lancaster too hot for the Tories, and had ruthlessly driven them out of the county to seek companionship and sympathy wherever they might find it. But the advent of the British turned the tide completely, and now the Tories with Tarleton's aid, drove the Whigs from Lancaster, some across the Catawba to Join Davie, and some to the Pee Dee to join Marion. Charles Mackey, as the leader of his band, had made himself very obnoxious to the Tories," and they impatiently awaited a time of vengeance. He was a man of medium size, very ? active and energetic, a fine horseman, a splendid shot, impulsive, hot-headed, often running unnecessary risks, and doing dare devil deeds. No work was too hazardous for him. Lydia Mackey, his wife, was a woman of good common sense, with a clear head and fine judgment, and in coolness and ? self-posession far superior to her impetu? ous husband. They bad a youog family of two or three children, and Charles Mackey had not seen or heard from tfyera for several weeks. Their home was not more thee two aud a half miles from Tarleton's camp on the Hanging Kock Creek. He knew very well that it would be hazardous for him to return to his home so near to Tarleton's headquarters, but his anxiety became so intense on account of his wife's peculiar condition that he could no longer remain in doubt about it. So he cautiously made his way. home, where he unwisely loitered for a week, and during this time be had the temerity to enter Tarleton's lines more than once in search of information which would be valuable to his country's defenders. Charles Mackey's house was a double log cabin, with cultivated patches of corn and potatoes on either side of the lane leading to the front, while at the rear was a kitchen garden of half an acre or more, extending back to a huckleberry swamp, which was almost impenetrable to man or beast. This swamp covered an area of ten or fifteen acres and was sur? rounded by quagmire from ten to thirty ? feet wide, thus making practically an island. It was entered byjumping from tussock to tussock of moss-covered lumps of mould a foot or two in diameter, and rising six or eight inches above the pitch black semi-jelly like mire, which shook in every direction in passing over it. A plank of fence served as a temporary draw-bridge, which was pulled into the 8warnp after crossing over. When the connty was infested by Tories Charles Mackey spent his days in the swamp, if not scouting. At night be ventured home. He had good watchdogs, * and they save the alarm when any oue approached, whether by day or by night. If at night, he would immediately lift a loose plank in the floor of his bedroom, drop through on the ground, crawl out in the rear, then ruu thirty or forty yards across the garden, gun in hand, and dis? appear in the swamp, pulling his fence railing draw-bridge in after him. There was no approach to the house from the rear, and his retreat was always effected with impunity. Charles Mackey had been at home now about a week, and was on the eve of leav? ing with some valuable information for the rebel generals, gained by his night prowlings in and about the headquarters of Colonel Tarleton. But early in a June morning (an hour or two before day) his usually faithful watchdogs failed to give warning of the approach of strangers, and the first notice of their presence was their shouting "Hello !" in front of the house. Mrs. Mackey jumped out of bed, threw open the window shutter, stuck ?out her head, surveyed the half dozen armed horsemen carefully, and said, "Who's there?" ""Friends. Is Charlev Mackey at home?" She promptly answered, "No." In the meantime Charley had raised the loose plank in the floor, and was ready to make for the swamp in the rear, when, stopping for'a moment to be sure* of the character of his visitors, he heard the spokesman say: "Well, we are very sorry indeed, for there was a big fight yesterday on Lynch'? Creek between General Marion and the British, and we routed the-redcoats completely; and we have been sent to General Davie at Landsford with orders to unite with Marion at Flat Bock as soon as possible, and then attack Tarleton. We don't know the way to Landsford, and came by for Charley to pilot us." Mrs. Mackey "was always cool and col? lected, and she said she was very sorry her husband was not at home. But her husband was just the reverse, hot headed and impetuous. This sudden news of victory, after so many reverses, was so in accordance with his wishes that he mad? ly rushed out into the rudst of the mounted men, hurrahing for Marion and Davie, and shouting vengeance on the redcoats and Tories; and he began to shake hands enthusiastically with the "boys," and to ask particulars about the fight, when the ringleader of the gang coolly said: "Well, Charley, old fellow, we've set a good many traps for you, but never have baited 'em right till now. You are our prisoner." And they marched him off just as he was, without hat or coat, without allow? ing him a moment to say a partiog word to his poor wife. .It was now nearly daylight and they ordered bim to pilot them to Andy Mcll wain's, with the hope of capturing him too. But he was not at home. Then he was compelled to pilot them to James True8dale's, and he.wa3 not at home. From there they went to Lancaster vil? lage, and then to Col. Tarfetous head? quarters, where Charley Mackey was tried by courtmartial-, aud sentenced to death as a- spy. The next day Mrs. Mackey, not know? ing what had happened, gathered some fruit and eggs, and, with a basket well filled, she made her way to Col. Tarle: ton's camp. Hucksters were readily ad? mitted when they had such luxuries to dispose of. On getting within the lines she inquired the way to Colonel Tarleton's marquee, which was shown her. The Colonel was on parade, but a young offi? cer, who was writing, asked her to be seated. After he had finished, he said, "You Lave something for sale I pre? sume." She replied that she had eggs and fruit. He gladly took what she had and paid for them. She frankly declared that her basket of fruit was only a pre? text to get to see Colonel Tarleton ; that she was anxious to see him in person on business of great importance. She then explained the capture of her husband, ana that she wished to get him released if he were still alive, for she did not know but what they had hung him to the near? est tree they came to. The officer told her that the Colonel was on parade and would not return for two hours?not un? til he came in for his mid day meal. Mrs. Mackey was a come'ly woman of superior intelligence, and she soon inter? ested the young officer in her sad condi? tion. He expressed for her the deepest sympathy, told her that her husband had been tried and sentenced to death at sun? rise to-morrow morning; and that he feared there was no hope of repreive, as the evidence given against him by the Tories was of the most positive kind. He toid her that Colonel Tarleton was as cruel and unfeeling as he was brave and that he would promise her anything to get rid of her, but he would fulfill noth? ing. "However," said he, "I will prepare the necessary document for your hus? band's release, filling in the blanks, so that it will only be necessary to get Col. Tarleton's signature. But i must again frankly say that this is almost hopeless." It was evident to the most superficial observer that Mrs. Mackey would Boon become a mother, and this probably had something to do iu enlisting the kindly sympathy of 'he brave youDg officer. At twelve o'clock Col. Tarleton rode up, dismounted, and entered the adjoining tent. "You must wait till he dines," eaid the officer. "Another charge will then be brought forth and when he comes out to mount, you can approach him, and not until then." At the expected time the tall, boyish looking, clean-shaved, handsome young Tarleton came out of his tent, and as he neared his charge he was confronted by the heroic Lydia Mackey, who in a few words made known the object of her visit. He quickly answered that he was in a great hurry, and could not at that time stop to consider her case*. She said the case was urgent, that her husband had been condemned to die at sunrise to? morrow morning, and that he alone had the power to save his life. He replied: "Very well, my good woman, when I return later in the day I will inquire in? to the matter." Saying this be placed his foot in the stirrup, and sprang up, but before he could throw his right leg over the saddle, Mrs. Mackey caught him by the coat and jerked him down. He turned upon her with a scowl, and she implored him to grant her request. He was greatly discomtitted, and angrily said he would look into the case on his return. He then attempted again to mount, when she dragged him down a second time, begging him iu eloquent terms to spare the life of her husband. "Hut tut my good woman J' said he, boil? ing with rage. -"Do you know what you are doing? Begone! I'll attend to this at my convenience; not sooner." So saying, he tried a third time to mount, and a third time Lydia Mackey jerked him to the ground. Holding by the sword's scabbard and falling on her knees, the cried, "Draw your sword and slay me.and my unborn babe, or give me the life of my husband, for I shall never let you go till you kill me or sign this document"?which she drew from her bosom and held up before his face. Tarleton trembled, was as pale as a Corp$e,.and turning to the young officer, who stood near by intently watching the .scene, he said, "Captain where is this woman's husband ?" He answered, "Under guard in vondt r tent." "Order him to be brought here." And soon Charley Mackey stood before the valiant Tarleton. "Sir," said he, "you have been convicted of bearing arms against his Majesty's government. Worse ?you have been convicted of being a spy; you have dared to enter my lines in disguise as a spy and you cannot deny it. But for the sake of your wife, I will give you a full pardon on condition that you will take an oath never again to bear arms, against the king's government." "Sir," said Charles Mackey, in the firmest tones, "I cannot accept pardon on these terms. It must be unconditional, or I must die." And poor Lydia Mackey cried out, "And I too must die;" and on her knees, holding on to Colonel Tarleton, she pleaded with such ferver and eloquence that Tarleton seemed for a moment to hesitate, and then, turning to the young captain, he said, with quivering lips, and in a voice choked with emotion, "Cap? tain, for God's sake, sign my name to this paper, and let this woman go." With this Lydia Mackey sank to the ! ground exhausted, and Colonel Tarleton I mounted his charger and galloped off, doubtless happier for having spared the life of the heroic Lydia Mackey's hus? band. Lydia Mackey in her old age was a fine talker. A boy of ten years old, I beard her tell this story with such feel? ing and earnestness that great tears rolled down her aged cheek to mingle with those of her little grandchildren gathered around her knees. The name of Tarleton was execrated in South Carolina till a very late period. But the Lydia Mackey episode shows that be had a heart not wholly steeled against the noble feelings of humanity. . The history of our Revolutionary War can hardly present a more interesting tableau thau that of Lydia Mackey beg? ging the life of her husband at the hands of the brave and bloody Tarleton. It is altogether probable that the Lydia Mack? ey victory was the first ever gained over the redoubtable commander. My mother, Mabala Mackey, was born September 1,1792, was the ninth and youngest child of Charles and Lydia Mackey, the subjects of this narrative. Cnlhoun's Last Days. In a recent, publication Ben Perl^y Poore gives the following account of Calhoun's last days, which will be read with interest at this particular time when the State is erecting a sarcophagus for 1 the preservation of his remain? and to? day being the anniversary of \ie states? man's birth : In the early spring of 1S?0, Mr. Calhoun begau to fail. Age and disease bad made sad impress upon his naturally sharp features, and the wreck of the body contrasted painfully with the pow? erful glimmerings of intellect which yet flashed from everything subject to his touch. Mr. Webster also looked worn and feeble, and that step which five years before, trod with the elastic firm? ness of a conqueror, now bears him al? most totteringly to his 6eat in the cham? ber. Mr. Clay, on the contrary, wore well. In truth, his cheeks bloomed like the sun mark of a peach, and all his acts ?physical and mental?betrayed the in? vincible Harry of twenty years past. As the spring advanced Mr. Calhoun grew worse. He was conscious of his approaching end, and met death with fortitude and serenity. His physician said that his was an overworked mind, dwelling too long and two anxiously on one object. His one thought was for his country, the strength of his intellect ever running in this one narrow channel, which "deepened itself until the banks caved in and death ensued. One of the last directions he gave was to a dutiful son, who had been attending him, to put away some manuscript which he had written under his dictation. HisremaitiB lay in state in the old Congress house, opposite the capitol, where he was board? ing when he died. The corpse was iu full citizen's dress and lay on a low couch, covered with a pall, his long gray locks spreading over the pillow. Before the funeral services the remains were placed in a melalic coffin similar to that used for the interment of Airs. Madison. The pane of glass in the upper part per? mitted the face of the deceased to be seen, and a wreath of flowers lay across his breast. How to Holl Waler, I must tell you the old story of how the late Charles Delmonico used to talk about the new hot water cure*. He said the Delraonicos wero the first to recom? mend it to guests who complained of having no appetite. "Take a cup of hot water and lemon and you will feel bet? ter," was the formula adopted; and the cup of hot water and lemon was simply a little hot water with a drop of lemon juice in it to take away the insipidity. For this antibibulous remedy the caterers charged the price of their best liquors? thirty-five cents or more?and it certain? ly was a wiser way to spend small change than in alcohol. "Few people know how to cook water," Charles used to af? firm. "The secret is in putting good, fresh water into a neat kettle, already quite warm, aud setting the water to boiling quickly, and then taking it right off for use in tea, coffee or other drinks, before it is spoiled. To let it steam and simmer and evaporate, until the good water is in the atmosphere, and tbe lime, and iron, and dregs, only left in the ket? tle?bah ! that is what makes a great many people sick, and is worse than no water at all." Every lady who reads this valuable recipe should never forget how to cook water.?New York Time*, ? It seems that the German Court didn't care a cent for minister Sargent's position on the political status of the American hog, but when it came to Mrs. Sargent, an advanced advocate of female suffrage, preaching it publicly whenever she bad a chance in Berlin, and to Miss Sargent, an extreme exponent of Ameri? can culture, who wanted to study medi? cine, old Bismarck began to make things generally hot for the whole family. ? "Our girls may! bave large.feet," exclaimed a St. Louis belle, while con? versing with a Chicago damsel, "but we are not obliged to. turn our toes in when sitting for a photograph, in order that they may not appear in the picture."

'That is not always where the trouble comes from. Dyspepsia and li\Tr disorders are responsible for many a dull sermon and many a vacant pulpit. # When the Dominic's digestive apparatus is working1 wrong- and his nerves, are giving- him pain, and his brain refuses to do its duty, it is almost impossible to make or to preach a good sermon. , Give your suffering minister a bottle of Brown's Iron Bit? ters.

In August, 1SRI, nearly throe years ago, my son, ?ho was at thai time living at Clinton, Ua., camo over to see iuc with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the last stages gf consumption and that her physician lud pronounced her case hope? less. I went immediately over, aud I felt that untiling could be done. .She was coughing and spiiting Incessantly, and at times would discharge* from her lungs a large quantity.of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages*of the dis? ease. This was about the lime you began to ad? vertise Drawer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope wc commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed dos? was reached, She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebt-d to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Luug Restorer and never lets au opporlunitypass where lie thinks such a medi? cine would tie required, that he docs not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long sirce a North? ern gentleman on Iiis way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by. my son t, give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as it by magic." Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates. LA MAR, RAN KIN & LAMAR, Maeon, Atlanta and Albany, Ca. Brewer's Lung Restorer lor sale by Wil hite it W?hlte, Anderson, S. C. March 20, ISS-f. :e>-eow. SPRING fa the season in which had or poisoned blood is most apt lo show itself. Nature, at this juncture, needs something to assist it iu throwing oil'the impurities which have collected by the sluggish circulation of blood during the cold winter months. Swift's Specilic is nature's great helper, as it is a purely vegetable alterative and tonic. Itev. It. B. Paine, Maeon, Ga., writes: "We have been using Swift's Specific at the orphans' home as a remedy for blood com? plaints, and as a general health tonic, and have had remarkable results from its use ou the children and employees of the insti? tution. It is such au excellent tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the system is less liable to disease. It has cured some of our children of Scrofula." W. H. Gilbert, druggist, Albany, Ga.,' writes: "Wo are selling large quantities ot Swift's Specific for a Spring alterative and general health tonic, and with the best re? sults. It is now largely used as a preven? tive and cure for Malaria. There are many remarkable evidences of its merit in this section." Tub Great Drug House ok Chicaqo.? We do not hesitate to say that for a year past we have sold more of Swift's Specific (S. S. than all other Blood Purifiers combined, and with most astonishing' re? sults. One gentleman who used a half dozen bottles says it did him more good than treatment which cost him $1,000. Another who has used it for a Scrofulous affection reports a permanent cure from its use.

(1HEAP Spectacles have irregular, un j polished, convex, "pressed" Lens, with a green tint, (look through them edge Ways,) and cannot have'the refractory power of a pure white, ground, polished, periscop ic Lens. Hence the use of cheap Spectacles is not economical. Every strain upon the eye adds injury to weakness to the most sensitive and valua? ble member of the human body, whether from the want of Spectacles or the use of imperfect ones. Prevent this strain and preserve the eye (if you value your eye slght) by the use of King's ground, pol? ished, pure white, periscopic Lens. Dr. Holland writes, (with hundreds of others) : "My wife suffered a long time with headache, caused by the involuntary strain on the-optic nerve, which was entire? ly relieved by the use of a pair of King's Spectacl es.
