VOLLME XI.-NUMBER 1774. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER I, 1871. EDUCATIONAL REFORM. THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR SYSTEM OF PUBLIC SCHOOL!;: The Duties of Properly.- .'J. 3. Admit, for argument's- sake, weat Is moat emphatically untrue in fact, that a tax lor educational purposes ls paid exclusively by property-holders, and, nevertheless such a tax can be proved to be equitable. The enjoy? ments springing from property are cue to the existence ol society and to the prev a.ence of -certain social and economic prlnc pies that J favor the property-holders; and he, herelore, owes a di bt of duty to that society which, in its constitution, is the source of bb isfluence and Ms happiness. Upon this lact JS founded the right ol society, as such, to tax every species of property, not only lor r jlitlcal, but for social purposes. It is incumbent upon the rich to endow charitable and rel gious and educational institution?, as a voluntary and delightiul use of the means that Providence, through society and Its workings and its laws, has put at their disposal. They should second e4-ery good work projected by those who study the good of their fellow men, and who suggest plans ot social improvement. They should ever be ready to act as the right hand of philanthro? py to bring all of its yearnings to a successful consummation. Like the heart of the body,they should circulate the life-blood to refresh and Invigorate the other members, and place them under the direction of the head. To them must great institutions look; to thee , in their individual, voluntary action, for support and icouragement. Without their co-operation, "civilization must retrograde. And it is an honor to human nature that this claim of so Cieiy upon Its more prosperous members has, in England and in America, but more particu? larly at the North, been abundantly acknow Jedged and most nobly met. The Cooper Insti? tute, Cornell's University, Girard College, the Peabody Institute, and hundreds ol other lesser endowments, proclaim the unselnshnees and the magnanimity of conscientious men. Every church, too, that lifts its spire to the skies points the same great moral, and reads the same pleasing lesson of duty acknowledged, and duty in a measure performed. But the interest of education must not be left to voluntary contributions alone. Society is so constructed, socially and economical ly< that "to bim that hath (property, or reputa? tion, or a thriving business,) shall be given; and to him that hath not, shall be taken away even what (Ita chances ot doing better) he seemeth to have." Deny lt who may, this law o^fpirltual life, stated by our Saviour, per? vades the universe In all ot Its parts. The rich man, with equal brains and character, will far outstrip the poor man in the race of fortune. The successful physician or lawyer win bear off the palm ot a good business prac? tice from the equally accomplished medical or legal brother, whose merits are not yet known, and who has not yet met with success. To whom do people in distress go ? To the good doctor and to the good lawyer -not to the man as yet untried, except through necessity. The whole structure ot society favors, not those who have not, but those who already have. Were this the place to do so, it could ^>e shown how wise and admirable an arrange? ment this ls, what a spur to exertion, how conservative and at the same time truly pro? gressive lt is. how exactly suited to man's moral nature. But this ls not the direct ob? ject of this paper. It is rather to press the p 3:nt that those who have, owe much to that society which does so much for them, which, by its constitution and the normal working ol its laws, lifts them to wealth, power and Influ? ence, as princes and rulers of the world. What they have they get from, or at least by occa? sion o?, society. Society does not grudge IL No sober man would take lt away. But they should contribute ot lt towards the education and consequent happiness of that society to which they owe lt. They should often lend, not expecting to receive again. They should freely give to the deserving, yes, ?nd to the undeserving, too; to the good and the evil; to th'iVst and the uoJusL And no property holder should demur to benefiting himself by educating the people, nor to benefiting the people by the payment ot an educational tax; even though lt did not benefit himself and his children, in a thousand ways, some of which, but only some, can be reduced to tbe rough standard ol a profit In dollars and cents, but | * others ot which can only be adequately appre? ciated by him who studies man in the light of that searching question, 'Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment ?" FAIRFIELD. QUEEN VICTORIA'S FANCIES. Her Extraordinary Hallucination In Regard to the Late Prince Consort. Whatever may be the truth in regard to the report that Queen Victoria intends to abdicate the throne of England, it is known that she has been laboring tor some years past under at least one phase ut mental infirmity. She has a Arm conviction that Prince Albert ls always present with ber, and tbat she can hold commu? nion with him. Her private rooms are arranged as they were when he was alive. His chair j Unlaced opposite to her own in the library, am the books which he delighted to read to her are arranged lovingly, in order, upon, the table. In some of her moods she will converse with him for an hour together, conducting her own share of the conversation aloud and with the vigor and interest of old times. He had taught her by bis example the success of his business enterprises-especially by his man? agement of thu Duchy of Cornwall-to super? intend as much as possible all her private affairs herself; to reduce all unnecessary ex penoflures, and to forbid extravagance. Hence the greatest simplicity ls observed at the Queen's table, and she imagines that her hus? band looks on, well pleased. At times, when she is more than ordinarily impressed with a 1 sense of his presence, the poor, loud woman will order a knife and fork to be placed on the dinner-table for bim, and cause the attendants to place every course before the empty chair as ft the master still occupied lt. Every morn? ing a pair of boots are cleaned and set down against the door ot the chamber which be once occupied; and at breakfast, when in scotland, she will often sit a long time in silence, wait? ing for the Prince. The Queen's strong belief in the communion or the living with the spirits of the dead t>he received, no doubt, from Pilnce Albert him? self, who was a sort of theosophist-a some? thing between Jacob Behmen, the mystic, and J. 0. Fichte, the philosopher of transcendent 'allsm. Whatever may be thought of it as a theory of philosophical or religious b-lief by sober,common-sen&opeople, it is to Victoiia a source ot ureat consolation, and she often talks with the Prince concerning tbe state of the soul alter death. She has been gradually with? drawing from public Hie for some years past, and lives in a world of her own. Her harp and ber easel are both neglected, and she neither sings, pla}s, nor paints, except at rare Inter? vals, when she will sweep her harp-strings for a few moments in memory of some sweet tier man air that her husband loved to sing or to hear sung. ^ "NOT GUILTY." ' WASHINGTON, October 2. The jury In the case ol Darden lor the kill? ing of HcCarthev were out ten minutes, and returned a verdict of "Not guilty," OR AXT AS AX AXGRV PAPA. Straiv-Ridlug at Long Brandi-Trouble in Grant's Family-Sudden Midnight Appearance of the President of the United States in the Middle of thc Road with a Lantern-Another or Grant's Speeches. [From the New York Sun.l Straw-riding is jolly sport. Straw rides used to be a leading feature ot the jollitica'.ions in the pastoral regions that succeeded the gath? ering of the golden harvests and the fall threshing. To this day ojr Jersey friends re? tain the old-time custom, and with a huge lum? ber wagon, without seats, but with a box well Oiled with bright clean straw, and the lads and lasses tumbled in promiscuously together, the more the merrier, behind fleet horses, enjoy a night's frolic as only the innocent toilers of the harvest field can enjoy a little diversion ot that sort Straw rides form a feature of the later lad 8Dorts at Long Branch, and are f 'ally enjoy? ed by some even who are not usi to toll and labor. They had such an event a couple ot weeks ago. It was on the Monday evening that preceded the departure ot the President and his family on their Western pilgrimage. The party was a very select one, made up ot the beaux and belles of the West End exclus? ively. Miss Murphy, daughter of the collector of this port, was one of the ladies. Miss Brown, a daughter of the proprietor of Brown's Park, was another. It so happened that on the even? ing of this gr\nd affair Miss Nel.le Grant, daughter of the President ot the United States and Miss Dent, her cousin, dined at the resl dence of the Hon. Thomas Murphy, and were still enjoying the collector's hospitality and the agreeable companionship of bis family when the Immense farmer's wagon engaged for the straw-riding party called lor Miss Murphy k;Oh, dear," sighed Miss Nellie Graut. "I wish I could go too !" "So do I," chimed in Miss Dent. '.Well, then, come along," replied Miss Mur? phy. . But we are not invited." suggested Miss Nellie Grant. "Tnat will not make the slightest difference in the world,'' returned Miss Murphy. "The gentlemen will only be too happy to have you along. And besides, the addition of two to the company will only fill the wagon more closely aud make it all the more jolly." "I bave a good mind to go," said Miss Kel lie. hair persuaded. "But what would papa say ?" "You ought not to go without your father's permission," suggested the prudent wife of the collector. "Oh, pshaw !" said the Hon. Thomas Mur? phy, "If Nellie wants to go, let her go by all means; there's no harm in ll." "But papa might not like it," replied Miss Neille, Billi hesitating. "Don't give yoursell any uneasiness on that score," responded the collector; "I will 6ee your father and make it all right with him Go along and enjoy yourself." And so Miss Nellie and her cousin joined the happy party, and were soon tucked away In the huge lumber wagon, halt burled in straw and blankets, and packed as closely with the rest of the company as rod herrings in a box. It was a very jelly party, full of music and anecdote; and a.? the great lumbering wagon rolled along up and down the avenue on tbe bluff their merry voices started the tisb-hawks on their lofty perches, and went rolling far out to sea. The party started out abouts o'clock. They had traversed the length of bluff road two or three times, and were re? turning toward the West End about midnight, when, directly in front of the Presidential cottage, they were halted by an apparition carrying a lantern, and crying: "Stop that wagoo, you miserable yelpers !" It was the voice of the President of the United States. "Ia my daughter in there !" angrily demand ed the aforesaid Presiden!, at the same lime approaching the wagon with his lantern. "Yes, papa, I am here," dullly responded Miss Nellie. "Get out this minute und come Into the house, you huzzy," shouted the President, at the same time grasping his daughter by the shoulder and dragging her out of the wagon. "Ain't you ashamed ot yourself, cutting up In this mauner and keeping one up here till this time of night wailing for you, when you know I have been kept up the past two nights and have got to be up ai daylight to-morrow morn lng to go away !" And ne gave his fair daughter a rude push toward the gate of the Presidential enclosure, crying, "Go into the house with you !" Miss Nellie burst out crying, partly from the pain Inflicted by her lather's rough treatment and partly from mortification. In the mean time. Miss Dent was assisted from the wagon by the gentlemen of tbe party, and approach? ing the President began expostulating with him. "Mr. Grant, while I am your guest you might at least treat me respectfully." The rest of her words were lost as she moved away toward the house with the President and his daughter. But the parly in tho wagon could distinctly hear their voices in angry al tercatlon all the way up the lawn and until they bad entered the cottage. THE FLORIDA WRECKERS. Their Habits and node of I ite-Valua? ble Services to Vessels in Distress. , A correspondent of the New York Evening Post, In the course of an Interesting article on the wrecking interest, says : In Florida there Is a ".lass more strictly de nominated wreckers the ? those of Massachu? setts, as they are licens? i as such, and spend their whole time in aiding tbe crud lhat may go ashore upon the dread reeis of the Gull coast. The Florida wrecker, speaking ot the vessel used, is much like the schooner of our Northern fishermen. Probably no vessel floats that equals these lu gaiety and speed. The pilot boa-8 are like them, but usually larger. A captain and six men consii tuto the usual crew. In most instances two Vissels work in company. As it often hap? pens that several vessels are owned by one company, t bey take stations so as to cover the wrecking ground to good advantage. From Cape Florida to Key West Is about two hun? dred and fifty miles; on this grouud, which ls a fatal one tor our shipping, the wrecking ves? sels are stationed within sight of each other, and signals are passed on the discovery of a wreck. From Cape Florida northward the coast is open to tbe ocean and no sheller is afforded the wrecking-craft. For this reason the wrecked vessels are often not visited by wreckers for several days alter they go ashore. There is such a harvest of wrecks, In fact, atiera storm on this coast that the wreckers are obligel to contine their duties to the ground they have been watching. Indian Key. about midway between Gape Florida and Key West, is the recognized ren? dezvous of the wreckers. lu former days, when lhere were great number of 6hlps laden with coll?n passing out Irom the Guli to our own ports and those or the Old World, wrecks were, of course, more common. A vast amounl of wealth was carried by even one ship, and If the vessel became hopelessly stranded, a rich harvesi was enjoyed by ihe wreckers. This harvest, let us show plainly, ls a purely legitimate matter ot business. The wreckers tit out aud man their vessels or they are fitted by companies, and are legally allow? ed by license to pursue the calling. Aa we have shown, they station their cratt on cer? tain grouud, and thereby act as watchful sen tinela. Should life be lu danger wheu a wreck is discovered, aud should the vessel happen to go ashore in a heavy storm, lt. is fortunate for the sailor or traveller that these vigilant, fearless watchers are at baud. When lite tn saved, then a ?oodly number of stout men are ready to bargain for the resto? ration ol the ship and cargo. This may be done by a private arrangement, or by the action of the Untied r tates Marine Court at Key West The owners of the vessel are obliued to pay certain amounts to each member of the wreck? ing vessel as salvage. The vessel has Its share, the captain or chief wrecker his, and the crew their portion. To tully appreciate the services of these men we need only imagine them re? moved from these places. What loss ot life would there be in times of hurricane. Whal suffering from hunger and thirst upon unin? habited wastes, where ure almost insurmount? able barriers to prevent an escape Inland. These wrwkvw of F.orioa. far from being landsharks aud pirates, as many have imag? ined them, are known, a? a class, io be hu? mane, kindly and honest. I have known some of them personally, and have regarded them only as noble and upright men. THE LOTTERY OF LOVE. SOLVING THE CONJUGAL QUESTION. How the Romans Managed It-French .Methods of Arranging Marriages- The French Notary-Extracts from the I.on ton Matrimonial News-The Ro manic of thc Future. in teat pleasing Irish fashion ot half a cen? tury ago. when to carry off a pretty heiress was'.nought rather a proof of spirit, we only see -'.story repealing Itself. Surely, when Romulus made that rare show of Neplunus Eqceatrls, and lured within his city a whole bevy of Sabine women, like poor doves to be pounced upon by the Roman hawks, though MGT.rr..-er. does not mention it, undoubtedly these young ladies were plentifully adorned will: those golden bracelets and trinkets lor wh:c- the early Latin races were so fa? mous, aad booty and beauty was the watchword. Love alone, of course, is an im? portant item in connubial felicity, but when tho object of our fond affection brings will: her fair self, whether we are In New York cr in Abyssinia, a certain proportion of Uuited S'.ate= bonds or so many score of fatted cows, the amount ol bliss is supposed to be notably augmented. How lo bring together however, twa I'.ea:'..- bealing in unison thousands of miles apart, how to arrange malters conveni? ently and decently, how to do away with ehll ly-sbaUjlng and namby-pambying, and stili not to shock les convenances; how the lovely and aristocratic Andromeda with $.5000 a year ls to inform Perseus with bis million that ber maid? en aunts, I he Gorgons, will no longer oppose any difficulties in the way of their marriage, or how to let it be known that Darby, with his lovinz heart and strong hands, ls ready to take some'Joaa with nothing but her good looks pour :o\U potage, are questions which have ex? ercised the most ingeuicus minds. In France marriages are arranged In an ex? ceedingly decorous and business like manner What could have been more eminently re spectable than the well known Parisian notary who received us some score ol years ago In his elegant bureau in the Rue du Helder. Our business with this grave lunctlouary was to care ?or the Interest ot an American lady, about to marry a very worthy Freuch gentle man. Our affair having been satisfactorily concluded, not abruptly, out with the most in sinuattng grace, the subject ol our own for? lorn condition of single-blessedness was brought on the tapis. "Monsieur must be aware that true happiness can only be attained uv dividing its Joys and sorrows with a falthfu' companion. Monsieur will excuse, I trust, the solicitude I take In his weiiare. but should marriage enter In his mind, I be? lieve-I feel 6ure-need I say I am certain, that I can satisfy every desire of bis heart;" and with this be opened a formidable ledger and running an elegant white finger down Its columns, suddenly stopped. "Voici notre affaire. Here is s young ?adv, eighteen ou her last birthday Parentage admirable. Rich manufacturers tn Alsace. She has no accent, speaks French like a Parisian, kind, gentle, a good musician, and as for looks, Monsieur shall judge for bim sel:'. As to dot, let me consider you as my client, and that your Interest are my own Might I ask If you have an invitation for Mad ame X-'a soiree lo morrow ?" "We have not been so honored," was our reply. "You will rind an invitation on your return home Let me beg of you to go. It the young lady pleases you, an introduction can be had through my auspices apr?s-my office ls al ways open for any visits of a confidential na? ture Monsieur may honor me with." To the reception we went. There was our notary engaged in playing a game of whist. As he'trumped a trick, counted the honors and won the game, be brierly said: "On that ron sole there, next lo the mantel-piece, ls seated Madame la M?re. Mademoiselle is next to her, playing with her fan. CA^re petite, what grace, what elegance !" Modestly we gazed. It was a young and lovely lace. That snow white dress, the color of those ribbons gorge de pigeon, have never exactly disappeared from our mind. She never knew how near she was to her fate ! How we silently admir? ed at a distance, and endeared that pure little creature with a thousand sterling qualities. It might have been ! Alack ! now we are gray and grizzled, and the bloom has long, long ago been brushed from oil our peach. Bul let us be practical. Before us Hes the Matrimonial News, Vol. 2, No. SO, "a weekly lournal devoted to the promotion of marriage and conjugal felicity," published In London, and sold at twopence. It has eight pages, ls closely printed, and contains no less than 280 marriage advertisements. In the "Notice to Readers" the object of the paper ls clearly sla? ted, and we remark lu particular the sixth Item, which ls as follows : "All Introductions are given on the understanding that the lady and gentleman shall each pay a fee to the edi? tor within a month alter marriage." and the ninth. "The editor may be consulted person? ally, by appointment, for a fee ot five shillings." In the most methodical way advertisers have a number alloted to them. Thus the Beatrice ls No. 3219, and the gallant Benedict difgulses himeeit under the cold numerals of No. 1649, and advertisements of this kind ure common: 1916.-If either 18U0. 13-9, 2U03, 2023. WU, 2047 or 2048 would like a really loving ai>d Indulgen' husband, she ls iespec fu.ly referred tu the gen? tleman advertising under this number, May 20. who would be glad to orr.spond lust ic: confi? dence E dior ha- address. Perhaps "Phoenix's" Californian Idea of sup? plying new degrees uf comparison by numbers might be advantageously employed, as insteud ol' the advertiser's vanu'lng their personal charms, as for Instance : "Maria, with beauti? ful hair, a small foot, aud magnificent eyes." Ac, it might be rendered, "Maria, with 6223 hair, li lou!, and 9999 eyes," Ac. Most of ihe wants are written lu a very matter-of-iaci way, and only a very fen-gush with the romanticism Of the "Ouida" school. The use of one partic? ular word, used by the ladies, according to our American acceptation ut the term, sounds strangely. ..?120-Ella ls St, cons dered very pr. tty, tall, dark hair, falrskln, voilet blue eves, weil educi lei and connected, thoroughly domesticated, wishes to correspond wun 11-27, 1985, or any g-u tleman wanting a good, clever, affectionate, lov? ing wife. We sincerely trust that Ella is thoroughly domesticated, and with no wild-cat prudi vines notwithstanding her violet eyes. One thing curious Is that the short men In England must evidently find much difficulty In being mated, as advertisements from little men abound. Here Is one: 2035-Henry, aged twenty-seven, fair and not bad looking, good-tempered and loving, but li- tie aud g> od, height five feet two Inches, thoroughly up tn business, requires a young lady, or widow with not mure than two children ai.d not more than thirty, having about ?300 to go into busi nes-t at bournemouth, lugiily remunerative; must be good-tempered, lund ot tn me and not too loud of dress, but neat and able to keep account nooks, if possible, but not m cessnry. Enclose cane, in confldeucp, to Henry, under cover to Editor M. N., Nu. 282 Strand. An orphao, however, of quite fair propor? tions, thus expresses lils desire for a helpmate : 1927.-An orphan, the last and only representa? tive uf an <>ld anu n gilly r i-peca'de family, well i ducater, goud positlun and uf superior mu d ami anilities; ? nist-elass ueuileiran fanner, cultivat? ing landy ?state, worth ?29.000, wini 1 he cer? tainty uf nee- ming sole owner at no distant date; air, height, six feet two inches; weight, clxteeii stone-; wishes to meet with a ladt of congenial tastes, wita fond, c mnding and loving disposi? tion, between the age of sixteen and thirty, tine grown ?aid nea thy, (tull and dark preferred.) and htiong. one who would be content wfh a loving husband and tne posuio.i In li'e In which she would be placed, aud w, ula uke an Interest lu nusinesB tis a ?oure.cof pleasure Muderate drink? er and non smoker, ??en ti iny-two.

Here Is one which has somewhat ot the genuine ring about it: 1933.-Una, h resident governess in a family where she rece ves ?100 a year, desires to corres? pond, wltn a view to marriage. She la a trades? man's dauihter. the youngest of six girls, and hus never c sc her parents a shilling since she was eighteen.

We sincerely trust that "Una's" cost of ad? vertisement may fled a return and her "Lion" be caught. Now comes a peculiar one, that ls according to the interpretation made : ?.056.-A lady, aged thirty, highly educated, fond or lan^uag-s, well connected, amiable and loving, dark huir, goud figure and con-ldered good looking, would like to hear rrom s me gen? tleman with sufficient means to mas-.- a wl;e com? fortable. Fditor has address. If fond of laniuages means that this polyglot lady possesses the power of scolding in all the known tongues, such accomplishments had better be concealed. Notice In this one a pe? culiar jumble, which ls amusing: 1 v34 -A professional gentleman, of rather aa assuming habits and manners, age thirty, of good personal appearance, wants to correspond with a lady or similar posttlon, tastes, and or rsltgiouB tendency, ag?j twenty-four to twenty-eight, with a view tn niurrtage. l am fond or music and slag? ing, though no musieran mjseir; my helg ,t, five reit five inches; no whlskets. but fine imperial and moustache. Edit r has addresses. The religious tendency, the music and no whiskers-out an imperial and moustache are delicious. Some of the advertisers certainly look out very closely for number one. Here is undoubtedly a shrewd lawyer : 2064.-Lex, a solicitor, with a small practice that might be mdt fini ely increased by the com? mand 01 capital, wishes to correspond with a lady, musical, or good connections, and possessing ?10,000.

To ask tor nearly $50,000 In exchange for a 1 small practice ls hardly a quid pro quo. Here is one which has a wicked look. We should be afraid lo risk our lot with No?2003.

With regard to personal appearance the editor hus circe, so yoong ladies can judge lor themselves. Editor has abo ad ress. We distrust No. 1978, and fear he is a Man ta?nl. Occasionally, rarely, we are bound to say, the advertisements have the patchoully odor, which emanates from the purlieus ol St. John's Woods. Having taken some pains to Sud out the character of the Journal under examination, we are inclined to think that most of the ad? vertisements are of a bona nde character, and we have no doubt but that many marriagea are engineered by the enterprising editor, and possibly the Ave shillings consulta? tions aud Hie fees, after the honeymoon, are not uncommon occurrences. As afford? ing a glimpse of one ol the many sides of English social life in the middle-classes, the insight this Journal gives us isa curious one. Perhaps, as we become more utilitarian, tbe romaucist ot the future, discarding the thous? and threadbare devices of his art-those Im? possible and unaccountable accidents which intervene page on page before the hero es? pouses his heroine-will commence his thrill? ing narrative something 'n this way, and chapter first might thus begin: * * * "And folding hts bride witbiu hts arms, he satd: 'Fair Angelica ! never, no never, did I make a better investment than when I expended five shillings lo advertise myself.'
