' Song.
BY KOBEBT GII.mi.AN.
Ohl t*><> gowan's in the glen, and the winter
is aiT'.
And through the budding birken tree the
simmer breezes blaw,
And my heart's wi' my lassie, though my
lassie's gane frac me
Obi my heart is wi' my lassie, for whare
else could it bc?
Why did she leave tho hawthorn vale, for
the eity's glittering show?
She's no bko to the city dames-they're no
like her, ah.no!
Their looks are fa' o' warldly pride, but soul
is in her e'e,
And ye'sc get a blink o' beauty, gin ye my
lassie seel
And it's-oh! wi' her to wander far frae the
city's din,
Whare thc bonnie streams meander, the
singin* burnies lin;
Whare the laverock is piping his musie in
the duds,
And the blackbird is pouring his wild notes
.in th? woods!"
Oh! her love is ever true, and her heart is
ever warm,
And her smile to nature's loveliness, it adds
another charm! .
Oh! the gowan's in the glen, and tho lily's
on the lea,
And my heart is wi' my lassie, whare'er my
lassie be! ? .
EXECUTIONS AMONO THE JEWS.-The
Hebrews had no executioner. When
a man was guilty of homicide, the exe?
cution devolved on the next of kin, by
the right of blood revenge; in other*
coses, criminals were stoned by the
people, the witnesses setting the ex?
ample; and when the king or chief
ordered a person to be put to death,
the office was performed, by the per?
son to whom the order was given, and
this was generally a person whose con?
sideration in life bore some proportion
to that of the person to be slain.
Thus Solomon gave the commission to
kill Joab, the commander-in-chief, to
Benaiah,,a person of so much distinc?
tion as to be himself immediately pro?
moted to the command which the
death of Joab left vacant. In fact, tho
office, even of a regular executif ner,
is not by any means dishonorable in
the East. The post of chief execu?
tioner is, in most oriental courts, one
of honor and distinction. Thus, when
there was no regular executioner, it
?imo to be considered a post of honor
to put a distinguished person to
death; and on the other hand, the
death itself was honorable in propor?
tion to the rank of the person by
whom the blow was inflicted. It was
the greatest dishonor to perish by the
hands of a woman or a slave. We see
tliis feeling distinctly in the narrative
where the two princes much prefer to
die by Gideon's own hand than that
of a youth who had obtained no per?
sonal distinction. As to the hero
commissioning his son to perform this
office, it was, perhaps, partly to honor
him with the distinction of having
slain two chief enemies of Israel, as
well as because the rules of blood-re?
venge made it necessary that the exe?
cution of those who had slain his own
brethren should eitlftr be performed
by himself or by a member of his own
family. It secmf veiy probable, from
all that transpired, that Oreb and Zeeb
hod slain the brethren of Gideon, after
they had taken them captive, in the
same way that they were themselves
slain.
LIFE IN JAVA.-A traveler writes
from Batavia, Island of Java:
The Hotel des Indes, at which I am
stopping-the main building two story
high, with an immense piazza in front
-is connected on each side by build?
ings like railroad depots, three or four
hundred feet long. Each suit of
rooms contains room enough to make
two, three, and even half a dozen or?
dinary rooms such as we get at the
hotels in the United States. In front
and back are bath houses, fountains,
flower gardens, and out-houses, "for
cooking and for servants, marble floor,
tiled roofs, ceiling from twenty to
twenty-fi've feet high, no carpets, and
but few curtains.
Meals are served up in about the
same style as at the first class hotels
in New York.
The habits of living are quite differ?
ent. At daylight, coffee and tea are
taken to your room, nt eight, same,
with light refreshments; twelve,
breakfast, and at seven, dinner. Cof?
fee and tea are always ready, day or
night, same JUS baths. No extra
charge; tako them or not, as you may
choose.
The hotel is situated in the new or
upper town, some half dozen miles
from the water. It is a fair specimen
of five or six others, within half a
mile of each other. My hotel and
grounds cover ton acres. Tho whole
ground, like tho rest of tho city, is
one immense forest of trees and
canals. _
Why is- the emancipation proclama?
tion a demoralizing edict? Because
it brings so many black leg?, into tho
Union lines.
THE HISTOBY OF SODA WATER.
Soda water is simply pure water im?
pregnated with carbonic acid gas. It
is known by its agreeable, pungent
taste, by its slightly exhilirating qua?
lities, and its bubbling and scintilla?
tion.
The water to be impregnated with
the gas is to be placed in a strong
vessel, usually made of iron or copper,
called a fountain. The gas, after
being passed through water to purify
it, is conducted to the fountain, and
after sufficient agitation in contact
with the gos, at a high pressure, the
water becomes impregnated, and is
then what is known as soda water.
The first experiments were made by
Venel, in France, in 1750, and pub?
lished in 1776; by Priestly, in 1768;
and later,, by Bergmnd, Black, Van
Helmot and others.
The first manufactory in the world
was established at Geneva, by Gosse,
an apothecary of that city, whose an?
nual sales am ou ted to 40,000 bottles of
"Eau de Salts." In 1798, his part?
ner, Mr. Paul, founded an establish?
ment in Paris, where were compound?
ed not only the principal mineral
waters of Fiance, but even those of
foreign countries. From this time
onward, laboratories multiplied all
over Europe; and the manufacture of
simple agx-ated water is now con?
ducted on so large a scale in all civi?
lized countries that a very" remarkable
amount of inventive talent has been
successfully employed in improving
the necessary apparatus.
When is a cat like a tea-pot? When
you're teas in it; (tea's in it.) [The
perpetrator of this frightful attempt
has been taken to a weH-known water
cure establishment, and is now slowly
and, it is to ba hoped, finally recover?
ing.]
"What's the use," asked a ragged
fellow, "of a man's working himself
to death 1j> get a living?" And we re?
spond to the inquiry, "What's the
use?"
Before "love comes in at the door,"
it would be well for him to peep
through the key-hole. He might see
something that would prevent him
from entering.
"Think, when home returning," a
sweet song at any time, is especially
r commended to rakish husbands,
when slagging to their domiciles at 3
o'clock in the morning.
Judging from her likeness, painted
by her papa, it is evident that Titian's
fat daughter, Mary, was a great Polly
Titian.

A PROCLAMATION1 ?
"TTTHEREAS His Excellency President
YT Johnson has issued Iiis proclama?
tion, appointing me (Benjamin P. Perry)
Provisional Governor in and for the Strte of
South Carolina, with power to prescribo
such rules and regulations as may bc neces?
sary and proper for convening a Convention
of the State, composed of delegates to bo
chosen by that portion of the people of said
State who are loyal to the United States,
for thc purpose of altering or amending tho
Constitution thereof; and with authority to
exercise within the limits of the State all
too powers necessary and proper to enable
such loyal people to restore said State to its
constitutional relations to the Federal Gov?
ernment, and to present such a Republican
form of State Government as will entitle tho
State te thc guarantee of thc United States
therefor, and its people to protection by the
United States against invasion, insurrection
and domestic violence.
Kow, therefore, in obedience to thc pro?
clamation of his Excellency Andrew John?
son, 1 re si Jen t of the United States, I,
BENJAMIN F. PERRY, Provisional Gover?
nor of the State of South Carolina, for the
purpose of organizing a Provisional Gov?
ernment in South Carolina, reforming the
State Constitution and restoring civil au?
thority in said State under the Constitution
and laws of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that all civil officers in
South Carolina, who were in ellice when tho
Civil Government of the State was suspend?
ed, in May last, (except those arrested or
under prosecution for treason,) shall, on
taking the oath of allegiance prescribed in
the President's Amnesty Proclamation of
the 2yth day of May, 1865, resume tho
duties of their oftiees and continue to dis?
charge them under the Provisional Govern?
ment till further appointments are made. - >
And 1 do fur tb, cr proclaim, declare and
make known, that it is the duty of all loyal
citizens of tho State of South Carolina to
promptly go forward and take tho oath of
allegiance to the United States, before some
magistrate or military officer ol' the Federal
Government, who may be qualified for ad?
ministering oaths; and such aro hereby
authorized to give certified copies thereof
to the persons respectively by whom they
were made. And such magistrates or
officers are hereby required to transmit tho
originals of such oaths, at as early a day as
may be convenient, to the Department of
State, in the city of Washington, D. C.
And I do further proclaim, declare and
make known, that the Managers of Elec?
tions throughout the State of South Caroli?
na will hold au election for members of a
State Convention, at their respective pre
cii.cts, on the FIRST MONDAY IN SEP?
TEMBER NEXT, according to the laws of
South Carolina in force before the secession
of the State; and that each Election Dis?
trict in the State shall eleet as many mem?
bers of the Convention as the said District
has members of the House of Representa?
tives-the basis of representation being
population and taxation. This will givo
one hundred and twenty-four members to
the Convention-a number sufficiently large
to represent every portion of the State mose
fully.
Every loyal citizen who has taken tho
Amnesty oath and not within tho excepted
classes in the 1'resident's Proclamation,
will be entitled to vote, provided he was a
legal v?ter under thc Constitution as it
stood prior to the secession of South Caro?
lina. Ibid all who are within the excepted
classes must take the oath and apply for a
pardon, in order to entitle them to vote or
become members of the Convention.
The members of the? Convention thus
elected on the first Monday in September
next, are hereby required to* convene in tho
city of Columbia, on WEDNESDAY, the 13th
day of September, 1865, ior the purpose of
altering and amending the present Consti?
tution of South Carolina, or remodelling
and making a new one, which will conform
to the great changes which have taken
place in the State, and be more in accord?
ance with Republican principles and equali?
ty of representation.
And I do further proclaim and make
known, that the Constitution and all laws of
force in South Carolina prior to the seces?
sion of the State, are hereby made of force
under the Provisional Government, except
wherein they may conflict with the provi?
sions of this proclamation. And the Judges
and Chancellors of the State are hereby
required to exercise all the powers and per?
form all the duties which appertain to their
respective oflices, and especially in criminal
cases. It will be expected of the Federal
military authorities now in South Carolina,
tolend their authority to thc civil officers
of the Provisional Government, for the pur?
pose of enforcing the laws and preserving
the peace and good order of the State.
And I do further command and enjoin all
good and lawful citizens of the State to
unite in enforcing the laws and bringing to
justice all disorderly persons, all plunder?
ers, robbers and marauders, all vagrants
and idle persons who are wandering about
without employment or any visible means
of supporting themselves.
It is also expected that all former owners
of freed persons will be kind to them, and
not turn off thc children or aged to perish;
and the freed men and women are earnestly
enjoined to make contracts, just and fair,
for remaining with their former owner.
In order to facilitate as much as possible
the application for pardons under thc ex?
cepted sections of the President's Amnesty
Proclamation, it is stated for information
that all applications must bc by petition,
stating the exception, and accompanied
with thc oath prescribed. This petition
must be first approved by the Provisional
Governor, and then forwarded to the Presi?
dent. The headquarters of the Provisional
Governor will be at Greenville, where all
communications to him must bp addressed.
The newspapers of this State will publish
this proclamation till tho election for mem?
bers of the Convention.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and seal. Done at the
[t. s.] town of Greenville, this 20th day of
Julv, in the year of our Bord, 1S65,

United States the ninetieth,
