The ball was being tossed up and caught by one or thc performers on his feet, nnd it fell on the .boy's heads, who wa3 seated too near the ring. -Thc board of trustees ot the Peabody educa? tional fund, which ha3 been in session in Wash? ington for several days, has closed its session. Hon. R. C. Winthrop delivered a Peabody eulogy at thc opening of the session, and appropriate Tesotutlons were adopted, followed by an address by ex-Governor Graham, or North Carolina. On "the 16th, Dr. Sears submitted a lengthy report or operations for thc past six months, which were adopted. Appropriations were made, in all .amounting to $91,000, to bc expended up to Sept. 1st, 1870, by the general agents, under the direction of the executive committee, in neigh? borhoods in all the Southern States. It was voted that thc next annual meeting be held in Philadel? phia, Pa., on thc '.hird Wednesday in February, 1871, and that.a special meeting be held at Mem? phis, Tenn., or some other point in the Southern States, during October or the present year. The .board then adjourned until that time. -An amusing pen-plctnre or a state dinner is given in correspondence from Washington. Thc - banqueting halt is in the west wing or thc White : Ho ase, and is painted In frescoes, its windows screened with heavy green reps pendant from gilt cornices. Around the room are sideboards .laden wi th.costliest glass, silver and gold plated ware. Gorgeous mirrors and chandeliers give brilliancy to the apartment. The table seats thir? ty-six. The President always occupies the same scat in the centre cf one or the long sides or the table; Mrs. Grant sits opposite; both are solemn one because he has nothing to say, an i thc other bec msc she does not know how to say lt. A dlu ;ncr io thc diplomatic corps is voted a bore. Thc . d'p:omats vant to laugh, and expect their -wit to be answered In kind. President Grant -h? reverse in that respect of Mr. Lincoln-knows he is unequal to the task, and the knowledge distresses him. He consequently ll?, teus a good deal, but talks little, at these dinners. Mrs. Grant generally manages to flank herself with somebody who ls amusing; that is, if she can do so without violating conventionalism. On Wednesday General Sherman sat a few scats from ber on the right, risa-vis to General Huller, the whole of whose bald-head seemed to shine with good humor, as the tempting odors of the twenty courses found their way to Iiis expectant nostrils. Mrs. Harlan, attired in a magnificent evening dress of garnet-colored velvet, covered with Val? enciennes lace, sat on thc right of the President, and Mrs. Morrill on his left. They were unable to draw him out, however, and he correctly strok d his beard, as if to (Ind lu that occupation thc relief which he no doubt heartily prayed for dur? ing the whole dinner. Thc "Third Party" ix Misnomer. We uotice thut^ome of thc State papers are falling into the habit of styling the new Citizens' party, now forming throughout South Carolina, the "Third*' Party. The phrase, we presume, is meant to convey the idea that the ne v political organization is wholly distinct from either of the partios which have hitherto struggled for the n as tery in our State elections. But the term seems to us a little unfortunate, inasmuch as it may be understood to imply the existence at this time of three parties in South Caro? lina. The fact is, that all well disposed peo? ple who have anything at slake in the future of the State see the necessity of rubbing out old party lines altogether within her bor? ders. Henceforward in State ailairs there will be but two parlies among us:- the par? ty of honest and capable government, low taxation and general reform ; and on the other hand, a Ring of corrupt officials, with all whom they can bribe, bully or delude ? uto supporting them, and who will bc band? ed together under the banner of Radicalism, Robbery and Ruin. There'is to be uo "Third" party. Going Down! The Radical parly is badi}' demoralized. It still blusters and utters its old catchwords as loudly as ever. It still claims to be thc party of morality and economy, of philan? thropy and peace. But its pretensions are exploded, its pledges have been violated, its credit is at a discount. Tlie politicians and ^legislators of this in? famous cabal, in fighting with each other, have torn off the-.masks of respectability mid decency, which have heretofore beguiled the couutry. The colored representatives and senators, aud the white renegades and adventurers at Columbia, make disclosures which, if true-and they ought to know-indi? cate that the State is ruled hy a knot of imbe? ciles and villains. Thc national councils are controlled by Massachusett3,in thc persons of Mr. Sumner and Mr. Butler-thc former,? a conceited and ranting sophomore, whose motley garb of learning has long been the amusement of scholars,.and whose extrava? gance and shameless'inconsistency, now ex? posed upon the floor of Congress, have dis? graced tlie party he leads; the latter, a moral monster, whose nature is incapable of shame or principle or courage. It is idle to expect that peace and prosperity shall re? turn to the country until thpsc custodians of i the public safety have bven deprived of . power. They are incompetejit for good, potent for evil. So far as their statesman? ship prevails, they cripple the States, divide the people into conflicting castes, lessen the [ resources and multiply the expenses of gov eminent, and enrich the few at the expense ? of the many. < And as are the leaders, such arc thc fol- < lowers. No philosophic, commanding poli- 1 tician appears among them. No system 1 prevails. Every one drifts to and fro as Iiis 1 individual interests or the expediencies of | the hour require. The great man of Con- ' grcss is the man who has said the last sharp thing. Thus Mr. Farnsworth had a day's ? fame from hitting Butler. Butler recovered | his control of affairs by Iii;ting Cox. The i General's elegant and eloquent reply to the i little Congressman-"Shoo, fly, don't bodder i "me!"-brought down thc house. Such arc 1 the political sensations of Washington. And 1 Columbia can do quito us well. Even the glory of the "heroes"' of the war j is tarnished by association with Radicalism. Kilpatrick W03 extinguished in Peru; loose , ns tho morals of the South Americans are ; said tc be, they revolted at the gaitice of tlie captain of Sherman's freebooters. Sickies is in Coventry among Hie proud Spauiards, and has succeeded by his diplomacy in pte venting the annexation, and perhaps thc liberation, of Cuba. Grant lies in slale at the White House-a defunct President. And "Little Phil. Sheridan," true to the brutal in? stincts which ravaged and burned the fer? tile valley of tho Shenandoah, has now com? mitted an outrage at thc M'est, which, as perpetrated upon Indians and not upon white people, mriy perhaps be called into account -a crime which thc New Yoric World de? nounces as "one of thc cruellest, most ex? tensive and most disgraceful butcheries ever "known in American history. A detachment "of United States cavalrymen were dispatch? ed by his orders to the winter quarters of tlie "Piegan Indians, stole upon them in the mid? dle of Januar}', when, as Sheridan says, "they were very helpless, killed one huu "dred and seventy-three Indians [whether "the women and children were spared to die "of cold and starvation, or were slaughtered "indiscriminately is not mcntionedjdestroyed "fourty-four lodges, also a large amount of "winter provisions, captured three hundred "horses," ??e. Sheridan ordered his men to "strike to hurt" and they seem to have faith? fully carried out his orders. Thus does Radi? calism carry out thc policy of peace Heroes and Statesmen of Radicalism! they are nil making their record-devising bills and official reports, which the fnture historian of tlie republic will blush to han? dle, and which tlie next g?n?ration would fain, in the name of liberty and humanity, blot out forever. PROFESSOR RIVERS, who some months since resigned his chair in the South Caro? lina University, w.ts unanimously re-elected on Wednesday last, and, at thc urgent re? quest of his colleague and friends, ha3 con? sented to serve. A CITIZEN- of Columbia ?3 planting eighty acres of land in cotton within the present limits of that city, but the city does not con? tain Radicals enough to give it ti Radical Mayor aud Council, and the limits are to be extended forthwith. This is a flue specimen of what is called th j 'Gerrymandering" DURING the debate on the Columbia ex? tension bill, Senator Arnim, himself a Repub? lican, to show up its object, offered an addi? tional amendment to read as follows: Provided, that the municipal offbors of thc said city bc elected from the Republican party. THE Barnwell Journal says that Governor Scott has issued a proclamation, offering a reward of $500 for the delivery in any jail in the State, with proof to convict, of Ches? ter Graham, a freedmau, who, sonic two weeks since, murdered at the Boiling Springs anotiier freedman by the name or Richard Havener. Well done! this time. RCTICWS. REP AS A Rosa is SHE. A Novel. By the- Au? thor of "Cometh ?p as a Flower" and "Not Wisely, but Too Well." New York : D. Ap? pleton & Co. Charleston : John Russell. The author of these books is said to bc a Miss Broughton, a young Irish lady and a near relative of Mr. Sheridan LeFann, the novelist. Both of her previous novels have been noticed at length in these columns, and in pronouncing upon her last effort we do not know that either the tone or matter of our criticism of its pre? decessors will require much modification. In general tenor, in structure or plot, and in thc types of character presented, the trio bear a very strong family likeness. Esther Craven differs in no essential respect from Nelly L'Es strangc and Kate Chester; nor is St. John Gerard a very different sort ol hero from McGregor or Dare Stamcr. There is another gentleman, to be sure, iu thc present story, who is somewhat more human in his charac? teristics limn Miss Broughton's'men generally contrive to be-a certain Mr. Bob Brandon, who is described as not much given to "pen? sive musings upon the caducity of thc human race " and to whom the heroine engages herself in tho beginning of thc book, apparently for no other reason than because he asks her. Bob, however, is much loo slow for the tastes of our "girl ol thc period," and she accordingly proceeds to get tip a very fast flirtation with the aforesaid St. John Gerard, during a visit to thc latter's country seat, the existence of B. B. being kept a profound secret, even at thc expense of much positive lying on Miss Essie's part. The flirta? tion ls brought to a prosperous issue by an ex? pedient invariably adopted at sucli crises by Miss Broughtons heroine?;, and which never fails of triumphant success, thereby showing tito author to be a profound student of human nature. It is thus related : "Neither thc pre? paratory run, nor the tremondous bound she take3, avails to save Miss Craven from th? fate which her obstinacy and the comparative short? ness of her legs render unavoidable. She Jumps short, und falls forward on the wet bank, her lavender kid gloves digging convulsively Into it, and her legs disporting themselves fish-like In the brook." Of course St. John's strength of mind is im? potent to resist sucli a situation. He picks her up, consoles her and they become engaged, B. B. being coolly Ignored. But it is not our author's purpose that such duplicity should ? unpunished; and morality is consequently vin? dicated by a speedy discovery of Miss Essie's contemplated bigamy. St. John casts her off after resisting the temptations of St. Anthony, and thc curtain descends on act first, to the slow music of groaning and gnashing of teeth. Act second opens with Miss Craven in a de? cidedly drifty condition. Her only relative dies of diptheria, B. B. departs to "the vexed Bermootlues," an'l St. John to nowhere in par ticulai Of course, she gdps out as a "lady's companion," and equally naturally hits upon lust the house where St. John elects to spend his shooting holidays. It is a gloomy old house, ornamented with pictures and statues In Miss Broughton'* usual style, (which in? cludes In one room "Susanna and thc Elders," "Jupiter and Leda," "Venus Sleeping, Sur? prised by Satyrs," and on thc lawn "a unique ind chaste piece of statuary entitled 'the Rape jf the Sabines,'") and here our fair martyr iles slowly away until St. John-who mean? while has got himself engaged to "a splendid animal, sleek and wldte as a sacred Egyptian cow"-turns up, and the old game begins igain. The two make love in thc rain until Miss Craven nearly dies of lung fever, (which really, under the circumstances, one can't help thinking would have been thc best thing she :ould have done,) and finally marry and are tiappy ever afterward. The Egyptian cow re? tires chewing tlie cud of a rather bitter fancy, ind B. B. dies of pestilence at Bermuda. And so, voil? tout! Our readers will see that Miss Broughton makes no extravagant demands jpon thc intellect of her public. Altogether, .'Bcd as a Rose is She"-which, by the way, das nothing In thc world to do with its absurd dtlc-Is rather less objectionable than, if not ?ulte so amusing as, its predecessors. Thc style or the book ls generally fresh, vivid and idioma*!* and for a young lady, Its author evidently "knows a thing or two." S ^gricnltnrc, Ijorticnlturc, *Vc.

In consequence o? the Imperrect method hitherto adopted In preparing the Juice or this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belier that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very inferior Syrup. But, by thc discovery or the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed in the minds ol all those who have examined and teated this Process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups of the Rellncrtcs, is pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to thc best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make ii without doubt, the most proQtable crop that can be plant? ed, or these racts abundaut evidence can be shown.

PLIMPTON'S PATENT SKATES have already been introduced, with gratifying results, in the cities of New York, Hartford, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Atlanta and Savannah, and will be in many others as soon as suitable balls or rinks can bc provided. THE EXTRAOBDINY SUCCESS which has so rar attended the introduction of ROLLER SKATING proves conclusively that, while lt ls unequalled and Invaluable as es inno? cent, ex naraling exercise, it is rast becoming the most popular and rasciuatlng or amusements, Eassessing all the merits and attractions of Ice kat lng, without any of its objectionable features, and meets with the most hearty and earnest ap? proval and endorsement of the Clergy and Medi? cal Profession. AS AN INVESTMENT there is probably none which offers such Induce? ments to capitalists, especially those owning pub? lic halls or rinks, os the EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to usc and vend said Patent Skates, in proof of which it is only necessary to refer to the Indian? apolis Rink, which cleared over ISOOtAln ten weeks, and Glover, of Louisville, the receipts of which were $10,000 In two months of Roller Skat? ing.
