We bave long thought that there ought to be a law compellingiudifferent parents to send their children to school at least twenty weeks in the year. Since we have become more intimately acquainted with the workings: of the free schools our opinion has been confirmed. Strange as it may seem to the cultivated or partially cultivated intellect, it is nevertheless true that some people don'I.want their children educated. This world is made up of all sorts of people. On the one hand, we hear a man abusing the free school sys? tem, while on the other, one admires the system per se and.speaks^hopefully of its future developments. One pays twenty dollars school tax and will not send his children to the public school, while his neighbor who paid fifty cents sends six viiildren five mouths, and grumbles be? cause the school doesn't last twice as long. When the free school closes, he stops his whole tribe. If yon mention the importance of supplementing the teacher's salary and continuing tbe school ten months, you touch a very ten? der place in his heart, (his pocket), and with aishrug of the.shoul?ers that means a great deal, he says: "I pay my taxes and that is all I'll do:" Poor fellow The paid fifty cents tax and sent six children during tbe whole public school term, and is ready to cuss if he imagines his ina? lienable rights are tampered with in any way whatever. But this is not the class that we are after now. Not a few chil? dren in Anderson. County are barred the, privilege of attending school, not by any natural barrier, but by an unnatural, in? difference or dogged carelessness on the part of the parent. The State proposes to give all her children the rudiments of an education. Anything that is worth undertaking is worth doing well. Since she has undertaken to do this, it.ought to be done effectually, io.spite of. the; in differerce or positive opposition of| parents. In other words, school attend? ance ought to be compulsory. Let our State foliosn' the example of New Jersey. Her law requires all children between five abd twelve years of age to attend school at least twenty weeks during the year. Were that the law with us, we are confident the average school attendance in Anderson County would be much larger. One would be surprised to know how many children are out of school during the session, and surprised at the irregular attendance of those who pre? tend to go. The teacher has no way of forcing attendance. Neither the School Commissioner nor the Trustees can cor? rect the evil. The Legislature can do it. Let Buch steps be taken as are absolutely necessary. The school officers will see that the law is enforced. No child can make much progress if allowed to go to school one day and stay at home the next. Parents ought to know this. The State knows it and ought to take steps to correct tt. We have thought that much of the poor work attributed to the public school system is attributable to irregular attendance. We have noticed that in some schools the teacher has to teach a new school nearly every day. , In such cases, the State is encouraging foolish? ness and sanctioning a farce. The School Commissioner is tied, the Trustees are tied, the teacher is tied, and the patrons are at liberty to send or not send just as it suits their convenience or is agreeable to their peculiar whims. Such a state of things ought not to be tolerated. "THE COON SEIN LIBBABT." Iu the year 1803, a few of the settlers in a Southern County of Ohio, met to talk over matters of common interest. They first spoke about their rough and pirmative roads, making such arrange? ments as seemed necessary. The next matter discussed was the want of books, and they agreed to start a public Library 1 Money was scarce, but they had a good stock of common sense and resolution, lion; Thomas Ewing (late U. S. Senator, Sec. of Treasury, and Sec. of Interior) was then a lad of fourteen. Writing of this neighborhood Library, many years afterwards, he says: "The meu were all poor, and the subscriptions small, but they raised in all about one hundred dol? lars. All my accumulated wealth, ten coon-skins, went into tbe fund, and Squire Sam Brown, of Sunday Creek, who was going to Boston, was charged with the purchase. After an absence of many weeks, be brought the books to Capt. Ben. Browis, on a pack horse. I was present at the emptying of the sack, and pouring out of the treasure. There were in all about sixty volumes, I think, and well selected; the library of the Vatican was nothing to it, and there never was a library better read." That Coon-skin Library, as it was sometimes called, helped to traiu up a community, from which many meu came, who were able to do other things besides catching coons. Let pur country friends see to it, that their children bave good reading matter. Let the books in tbe old Book Case be cheerfully lent. Let each neighbor have access to the good books of all. Many people are careless about returning books, but they can be taught to do better. Let a particular day be set apart in each neighborhood, as a general "Jail-delivery day"?when every Library and bookshelf is to be looked through, as with a search warrant. Books are raea?t to be read. To be worn out by constant use, is a noble death for a common book to die. To be imprisoned in a fine book ease, unread, is to be buried alive. Many years ago, iu the middle part of this State, a family lived a few miles from a small town. They had books enough to make them want more, so that every new one was greatly prized. One of the boys, about eleven years of age, went over to a neighboring house. This family consisted of two persons, an old bachelor son and his very aged mother. They had very few books, but one of these was a copy of tbe Columbian Ora? tor, which was new to the boy. He was delighted with the new poetry and ex? tracts. Boy-like be ventured to ask if he could take the book home, as a loan. The old lady consented, and the littlo fellow had a lively vision of some happy hours before him. When starting for home, after an hour or two, the crusty old bachelor son, said to him, "Ican't spare that book ; I need it to sharpen my razor on." The keen disappointment of that moment is remembered to this hour, though many sorrows of maturer life have been forgotten. When the Kenne? dy Library is ready for them, one shelf of books, at least, shall be put there by that disappointed hoy, with the hope, that, instead of being used to sharpen razors, they may help to quicken the bright intellects of the Spartanburg boys.?J. H. C, in Spartanburg Herald. EATING PIE UNDER ORDERS. General Grant's Way or Punishing an Im? postor. When Grant, in August, 1861, was sent with a brigade to Southern Missouri to repel a threatened invasion of it by Jeff. Thompson, an incident occurred which is thus described by one of his staff officers : "Tbe distance from tbe starting point of tbe expedition to the supposed rendez? vous of the Confederates was about 110 miles, and the greater portion of tbe route lay through a howling wilderness,. The imaginary suffering that our soldiers endured during the first two days of their march was enormous. It was impossible to steal or 'confiscate' uncul? tivated real estate, and not a hog or chicken or au ear of corn was anywhere to be seen. On the third day, however, affairs looked more hopeful, for a few smalt specks of ground in a state of partial cultivation were here aud there visible. ?. On that day Lieutenant Wick field, of an Indiana cavalry regiment, commanded the advance guard, consisting of eight mounted men. About noon he came up to a small farmhouse, from the outward appearance of which he judged there'might be something fit to eat inside. He halted his command, dismounted, and, with two second lieutenants, entered the dwelling. He knew that Grant'a incipient fame had already gone out through all that country, and it seemed to him by representing himself to be Gen? eral Grant he might obtain the best the house afforded. So, assuming a very imperative demeanor, he accosted tbe inmates of the house and told them that he must have something for himself and staff to eat. They desired to know who he was, and be told them that he was Brigadier General Grant. At the sound of tbe name they all flew around with alarming alacrity, and served up about all they had in the house, taking great pains all the while to make loud profess i us of loyalty. The Lieutenants ate as much as they could of the not oversum tuous meal, but which was, nevertheless, good for that country, and demanded what was to pay. 'Nothing.' And they went on their way rejoicing. In the meantime, General Grant, who had halt? ed his army a few miles farther back for a brief resting spell, came in sight of, and was rather impressed by the appear ance of, this same house. Riding up to the fence in front of the door, he desired, to know if they would cook him a meal. 'No,' said a female in a gruff voice. ; 'General Grant and his staff bave just been here, and eaten everything in tbe house except ~ne pumpkin pie.' 'Humph,' muttered Grant; 'what is your name?' 'Selvidge,' replied the woman. Casting a half dollar in at the door, he asked if she would keep that pie until he sent an officer for it, to which she replied that she would. That evening, after the camping ground had been secured, the various regiments were notified that there would be a grand parade at 6.80 for orders. Officers would see that all their men turned out, etc. In five minutes the camp was a perfect uproar, and filled with all sorts o- -umors. Some thought the enemy wert ipon them, it being so unusual to bave parades when on tbe march. At 6.30 the parade was formed, ten columns deep, and nearly a quarter of a mile in length. Both officers and men were amazed at this unusual parade after such a long and weary march, and ! wondered what it portended, w.hen the Assistant Adjutant General rode in front of the lines, and, in a grave, loud and clear voice, read the following order: I "Headquarters, \ ! "Army in the Field, j "Special Order No.?. "Lieutenant Wickfield, of the Indiana cavalry, having ou this day eaten every? thing in Mrs. Selvidge's house, at the crossing of the Trenton and Pocahontas ! and Black River and Cape Girardeau roads, except one pumpkin pie, Lieuten? ant Wickfield is hereby ordered to return with an escort of 100 cavalry and eat that pie also. "U. S. Gkant. "Brigadier General Commanding." "It is impossible to describe the effect the reading of this order had on the trc ops. Every one was expecting to hear some momentous announcement, and hence listened with eager attention, and when ic was finished looked at each other in utter bewilderment, and asked what did it mean 7 The parade was over, and tbe moment they dispersed each one sought an explanation of the strange affair. It soon leaked out, and by tbe time the crestfallen Lieutenant was ready with bis escort to leave camp, it was in a perfect roar, aud peals of laughter followed him as he defiled along the road on his way back to eat that pie. Grant made no ex? planation of his conduct, followed it by no reprimand. The order carried its own lesson, administered its own rebuke, and each one knew that it would not be a safe business to pass himself off for General-in Chief, much less forage in his own name, for his own benefit. When tbe Lieutenant returned to camp, late in tbe evening, he was glad to escape to his tent to avoid the numberless questions aud jokes about the pumpkin pie."? Boston Herald. A Congressman's Cow Trade. Representative O'Neill, of Missouri, is a veritable son of tbe soil. Among his constituents be is a granger himself. His district lies in the upper part of St. Louis, but as it embraces the billy-goat and garden-truck suburbs of the metrop? olis of the Mississippi, his constituency is somewhat rural. To this element O'Neill has long beeu a walking ency? clopaedia of information concerning live stock and crops. During the last cam paign, while visiting, he met one of his farmer constituents, driving a cow. He at once began to air bis knowledge of bovine breeds. In the height of his en? thusiasm he offered, to buy tbe cow. The farmer was not anxious to sell, but said he would take $65 for her. "Drive her up to my house," said O'Neill, "and I'll be there to pay you the money." The farmer regretted that he had con? sented to part with his favorite cow, and Baid : "Let me tell you, Mr. O'Neill, the cow is a gentle creature and a good milker, but she has no upper teeth." "Of course that changes the trade," said Mr. O'Neill. "You wouldn't expect tne to take a cow with such a defect as tbat, but bring me a good milker, with sound upper teeth, and I'll buy her." When the story got out there was great excitement in the cabbago end of his district. The grangers swore they wouldn't have a Congressman who was "blamed fool enough to believe that cows had upper teeth." As a result, O'Neill was only re-elected by the skin of his own upper teeth.? Washington Republi? can. ? "My dear," remarked a gentleman, gloomily, to bis wife, "I consider myself the most unfortunate man that ever ex? isted. I have speut my whole life so far in running after nothing." "On the contrary," replied his wife, briskly, "I consider your life a splendid success, for you have certainly succeeded in getting nothing, and have no need to run after it any longer." The gentlemau was si? lenced, but not convinced, ?

And that's a sign of coming spring; Tho bullfrog boilers in the ditches, He's throw'd away his winter britches. The robin is bobbin' around so merry, I reckon he's drunk on a China bony, Tbe hawk for infant chickens watcheth, And, fore you know it one he catcheth ; Thelizzard is sunning himself on a rail, The lamb is shaking bis new-born tail; The darkey is plowing with his stubborn toule, And gaily hollers, "Gee, you fool I" King Cotton has unfurled his banner, And scents the air with sweet guanner, The days grow long?the nights declining, The Indian summer's sun is shining; Tbe smokey hills are now on fire, And every night it's climbing higher^ Tho water warm, tbe weather fine, The time has come for hook and line-; Adown the creek, around the ponds, Are gentlemen and vagabonds, And all our little dirty sinners Are digging bait and catching minnors. The dogwood buds are now a-swelling, And yaller jonquills sweet are smelling j The little busy bees are humming, And everything says spring is coining. Pneumonia. This disease has been very prevalent in this city, and in other Northern pla? ces, the past Winter. . The chilly winds of March have not been the means of lessening the fatality of the disease, and persons in middle life, as well as old people, are stricken down, and die witbin a few days after their at? tack. B. V. French tells in the Boston Journal what pneunv nia is, and what to do in the first stages of lue disease. His mode of treatment seems rational; certainly, it is simple enough, and most of the remedies can be found in out of* the-way places, away from physicians. Pneumonia, says the writer, is inflam? mation of the lungs. When the inflam? mation is oo the lining of the chest, it is pleurisy. The two may be combined. Pneumonia is a dangerous disease, and requires prompt action. It is preceded by a chill, from which it sometimes is difficult to restore the natural heat. This chill is followed by a high fever, in which the heart beats rapidly. . Chills may come from other causes than pneumonia, but unless sure of the cause and sure that it is not dangerous, it is safe to suspect a coming pneumonia, and to send at once for a physician. On no account attempt to manage the cose without one. Tbe disease is too serious to warrant such an attempt. Until he arrives, do what you can to equalize the circulation and temperature. Keep in bed between woolen blankets or sheets, increase the temperature of the room, applyto the affected parts bid soft cot? ton (not linen) cloths wet in hct water, in which has been mixed one-half of a teaspoonful of mustard to a quart of water, and to this apply heat from tins or bottles of hot water or hot bricks. Rubber water bags are best; apply heat in the same way to the feet. Do not in? crease tbe quantity of mustard. The object is to excite action in the skin, but to avoid an irritation that would binder or destroy action. As these cool, replace tbem at once with others, not allowing the temperature to reduce at all. On no account must the patient get out of bed. For medicine give aconite, four glo? bules, every half hour; this is homoeo? pathic. When the perspiration returns and tho patient can sleep, let him sleep ; continue the heat for a time, and when it is reduced let it be done with great care. If the patient needs food, let it be of a plain, simple kind. Avoid cold drinks unyil the natural condition of the skin is restored.?Scientific American. Care for Founder. A recent writer gives this remedy for '.ameness occasioned by inflammatory lever in the foot of the horse, with assu rauce that it is a perfect cure : "Clean out tbe bottom of the foot thor? oughly?hold up the leg so as to bring the boifom of the foot upward, holding it flrmly in a horizontal position and pour in, say a tablespoonful of spirits of tur Eentine, if the cavity of the foot will old that much, if not, pour in what it will hold without danger of running it over; touch the turpentine with a red hot iron; this will ect it on fire; hold the hoof firmly in position until it all burns out. Great care must be taken that none runs over on tbe hair of the hoof, lest the skin be burned. If all the feet are affected, buru turpentine in each of tbem. Relief will speedily follow, and the animal be ready for service in a short time." It is affirmed that animals treated in this manner have been promptly relieved. In one case, although suffering more than twenty-four hours when applied, in less than an hour afterward the animal was fit for use and traveled some distance, all lameness disappearing. ? Mr. Ross Winans, of Baltimore, aged 40, worth $10,000,000, because he is the son of his father, twice married, and highly educated, is not happy. A sin of his youth has found him out, in the shape of a female, who, once bought off for $30,000. will not keep the peace. ? An engraver's mistake lately caused the bride's parents to say on the cards : "Mr. and Mrs. - respectfully re? quest your presents at the marriage of their daughter," etc. It was not so very much out of the way, after all. ? For some reason or other, when Gen. Lee visited Washington city just after the war, he failed to return Grant's visit, which was promptly and unosten? tatiously made. This galled Grant and was never explained by Lee. ? Miss Asa Bowie, of Abbeville County, has sold ninety-seven pounds of fine butter, made from the milk of an ordinary scrub cow, since December last. ?

The world is wiser now, and knows that SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purifica? tion of the blood. If this is neglected, the disease perpetuates its taint through generation after generation. Among Its earlier symptomatic developments arc Eczema^ Cutaneous Eruptions, Tu? mors, Bolls, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Phy? sical Collapse, etc. If allowed to con? tinue.

This invaluable prepara? tion is truly a triumph of scientific skill, ana no more inestimable benefit was ever bestowed on the mothers of the world. ?3*11 not only shortens the time of labor and less ens the intensity of pain, but, better than all, it greatly diminishes the clanger to life of both mother and child, and leaves the mother in a con? dition highly favorable to speedy recoverv, and far less liable to flooding, con? vulsions, and other alarm? ing symptoms incident to lingering and painful la? bor. Its truly wonderful efficacy in this respect en? titles the Mothers' Friend to be ranked as ono of the life-saving appliances giv? en to the world by the dis? coveries of modern science From the nature of the caso it will of course bo understood that we cannot publish certificates con? cerning this Remedy with out wounding the delicacy of the writers. Yet wo have hundreds of such tes? timonials on file, and no mother who has once used it will ever again be with? out It in her timo of trou? ble. No More Terror I No More Pain !

A prominent physician lately remarked to the proprietor, that if it were admissible to make public the letters we receive, the "Mothers' Friend" would out-sell anything on the market. I most earnestly entreat every female expecting to be confined, to use Mother's Belief.
