Daily Paper $8 R Year "Let our Just Ceusure Attend the True Event." Tri-Weekly $? a Year BY JULIAS'1!'SELBY. COLUMBIA, S. C.. SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1868. : VOLUME IV-NO. 8&: Tlie Narro v.' Way. Ye?; wo own tho way is narrow, ' ? Straight tho door of on tranco through; And tho path abounds with crosnes; All must meet and bear them, too. Pride can never gain admittance, It must all be laid aside, But humility's sweet grao"", With tho pilgrims will abide. In this way there aro no uses, For unconsecrated wealth; Goods and gold must bo surrendered, So must talents; time and health. Along ttiiB way the Uontle Shopherd Leads his well-beloved flock, Sometimes through the burning desert, ' i - Sometimes o'er the flinty rook. Sometimes to the greenest pastures. Where tho "living waters ' flow; Then upon the sunny hill-sides, Whore a thousand flow'rote grow. May wo know, beyond all doubting, If we're in tho narrow way? For wo often shrink from duty, Often from tho Shepherd stray. Ia. there not scmo way of testing, S So we always may rejoice? Yoe: for those who know tho Shepherd, Always hear, and heed His voice. Oh, tho narrow way in blessedl . Though with countless trials rife; For our Great Jehovah-Jesus Says it loads to endless life. MBTHCSEXIAH DBOWNKD ra THE FIIOOD.-We make the following ex? tracta from an artiole contributed to the louisville. Dem ocrat: ? All we know of the origin of the earth or our race, we learn from Revelations. The chronology used by the civilized world is founded on the data furnished us in the Bible. Wo reckon the date of the flood from the dates found in the 6th chapter of Genesis. We learn, from this chap? ter, that Adam lived, before his son Seth was born, 130 years; Seth lived, before his son Enos was born, 105 years; Enos lived, before his son Cain an was born, 90 years; Cai nan lived, before his son Mahalalul was born, 70 years; Mahalalul lived, be ' fore his son Jared was born, 65 ?ears; Jared lived, before his son ?noch was born, 162 years; Enoch lived, before his son Methuselah (687) was born, 65 years; Methuse? lah lived, before his son Damech was born, 187 years; Lameoh lived, before his son Noah was born, 182 years. Noah, hence, was born Anno ; Mundi 1056. In Genesis, 7th ohapter, 6th verse, wo ara informed that Noah was 600 years old when the flood of water was npon the earth. Add 600 years (his age) to 1056, the date of his birth, and we have 1656, the date of the flood. We learn, from the 27th verse, 5th ohapter, of Genesis, that "all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died." By refer? ence to the foregoing table, it will be seen that Methuselah was born Anno Mundi 687; add his age (969) to 687, the .date of bis birth, and we have 1656, the time "when the flood of waters was upon the earth." Tho conclusion is as certain as figures, that the oldest mau was drowned for his wickedness. [And is a remarka? ble proof of tho truth of the Bible figures, "j_ A DANISH LEO END.-It was during the Swedish war of tho seventeenth century, that, after a battle, in which the enemy had been worsted, o burgher of Flensbourg was about tc refresh himself with a draught o! beer from a wooden bottle, when he heard the orv of a wounded Swede, who, fixing his longing oyes on thc beverage, exclaimed: "I am thirsty; give mo a drink." Now, the burgher of Flensbourg was a kind man, and, though he suf fered greatly himself, he replied, ai once: "Thy need is greater thai mine," and, kneeling down, beside tho wounded soldier, he poured tin liquor into his month. Bat tin treacherous Swede, taking ndvantagi of tho unarmed state of his bene . factor, fired his pistol as ho ben down, wounding him in the shoulder Then, the burgher sprang upon hi: legs, and indignantly exclaimed: . "Rascal! I would have befriendec you, and you would have murderec rae in return; now I will punish you I would have given you the whol< bottle, but yon shall have only half.' And drinking one-half himself, hi gave the remainder to his enemy When this roached the ears of Ki nj Frederick III, he ordered the bnr gher into his presence and thei asked him : "Why did you not kill the rascal? "Sire," replied the man, "I obul< never slay a wounded enemy." "Thou meritest to be a noble, .said the King, and ho caused him t be created one at once add gave hit for his arms a wooden beer-bottle pierced with an arrow, which oogui sanee WM borne by his children ti after the family died out iu the pei Son of a maiden lady, his lost di soendant. WHAT ABE WE COMINO TO?-Gen. H. Carver, the father of the Faeifio Railroad, as ho offers to prove, writes to an Omaha paper of his fntnre in? tentions: "I mean to go right on, propose and establish, ii i live, os nearly aa possible, an air-line route botween the Atlantio and Pacific oceans, (on tho snrfaco of which float nine-tenths of all tho commerce of tho world,) for a railroad, with a track eight or ten feet wide. The passenger cars on this road will bo traveling hotels, whereas Pullman's cars are only Sub? stitutes, and I first described them in a pamphlet written and published at Washington, twenty-one years ago, last January. These passenger cars will bo very large and splendid, ac? commodating from 300 to 4.00, and even 500 passengers, with all tho comforts of any hotel in this, or any other country. I will say to tho public, call this Utopian, vain, vision? ary, if yon please. My first plan of the present Pacific Railroad was call? ed so, and laughed at four or five years after I had begun to recom? mend it, write articles for it, nnd in all ways to labor hard in its favor. Further, I menu, if I live, when the road is completed and all things in order, to travel from the city of Now York, inside of forty-eight honrs. Wo havo got a model car in Now Jersey, made of cedar, eaoh wheel running by itself, like a wheel-barrow, and a small engine, about as largo ns a barrel, in the bow of tho car, and have run it at the rate of two miles a minute, with perfect safety and ease." The railroad track-layer now in uso in California is said to operate suc? cessfully, and places the iron rails in position at the rate of one mile per day, though some of the work has beeu done at the rate of two miles in twelve hours. The machino is a car sixty feet long and ten feet wide. It has a small engine on board for han? dling the ties and rails. The ties aro carried on common freight cars be? hind, and convoyed, by an endless ohain, over the top of the machine, laid down in their places on the track, and, when enough are laid, a rail is put down on each side, in a proper position, and spiked down. The track-layer then advances and keeps on its work until tho load of ties and rails is exhausted, when othor car loads are brought. The machino is driven ahead by a locomotive, and it is stated the work is done so rapidly that six men ore required to wait on it, but it is asserted that they do more work than twice as many could do by the old system, and that tho work is dono quite as well. The chief contractor on tho Nallejo and Sacramento Railroad, where the ma? chine is in use,.gives it as his opinion that when the maohino is improved by making a fow changes in tho me? thod of handling rails and ties, it will be able to put down iivo or six miles per day. THE HUSBAND OF THE FOTUBE. Tho model husband walks out with his wifo on a week day, and is not afraid of a milliner's shop. Ho even has "change" when asked for it, and never alludes to it afterward. He is not above carrying a largo bundle or a cotton umbrella, or even holding tho baby in his lap, in an omnibus He runs on first to knock nt tho door, when it is raining. Ho goes outside, if the cab is full. Ho goes to bed first, in cold weather. He gets up in tho night, to rock the cradle or answer tho door-bell. Ho believes in hysterics, and is melted instantly by a tear. He patches up a quarrel, with a velvot gown, and drives away the sulks, with a trip to the Central Park. Ho never files out about his buttons, nor brings home friends to snpper. His clothes novor smell of tobacco. Ho respects the curtains, and never smokes in tho house. Ho never invades tho kitchen, and would no more think of "blowing np" any of tho servants than of ordering the dinner. He is innocent of a latch? key. He lets the family go out of town once every year, while he romains ot home with one knife and fork, sits on a brown Holland chair, sleeps on a curtainless bed, and has a char-woman to wait on him. He is very easy and affection? ate, keeping the wodding anniver? sary regularly. .-??? ? ? ? FACTS IN THE CASE.-The Mont? gomery Sentinel (radical) perpetrates the following: And are we yet alive? And do we still rebel? It is only by amazing graco That we are out of nelli And the Eufaula Nevos responds: It is "amazing grace," wo know, That keeps us out of thero Bot rads aro paok'd so thiok below, There is no room to sparc A JOKE ON CHIMES.-We saw a darkey on West Walnut street yes? terday, with about tho worst case of chills we ever heard of. His teeth were chattering like a reaper under full headway. Ho was eating a water-melon on the curb-stone, and some one told him that eating it would give him tho chills. He look? ed up, with his month half full, and a slice in each hand, and shivered out: "Dis is de way I tuk do oh il Ls, eating deso things. I got de chil on me now, boss; and I likes water millions bett or'ii I dnz de chils, kose dar ain't nc danger ob it makin' me shake wus'n I duz. I'll eat dis'n ef I dies 'fore I git to de rines." We left him "fighting it." [Louisville Democrat. A school-master, after giving ono of his pupils a sound drubbing for speaking bad grammar, sent him to the other end of the room to inform another hey that he wished to speak to him, and, at the same time, pro? mised to repeat the dose if he spoke to him ungrammatically. The youngster, being quite satisfied with what he got, determined to be exact, and thus addressed his fellow-pupil: "A common substantive, of the mas? culine gender, singular number, no? minative case, and in an angry mood, that sits perched upon the eminence nt tho other end of the room, wishes to articulate a few sentences to you in the present tense." Advices from Panama state that a little attempt has been made, in the Province of Chiriqui, to overthrow tho present dictatorship. An officer, at the head of seventy men, quickly quelled the revolt; but, as a "whole? some restraint" upon the inhabit? ants of the place, the soldiers were permitted to despoil the women of their cheap jewelry and embroidered petticoats. Such soldiers ought to have the pantaloons stripped off them, and be made to fight in their stolen petticoats the rest of their unchivalric lives. A great revolution, like that which took placo in England in the time of Henry the Eighth, and mado such a tromendous hubbub in the world, is now taking place in Italy, without attracting any special attention. King Victor Emmanuel is selling the property of the Church, in his Italian kingdom. In this way, he has already realized over 174,000,000 francs, and the social revolution thus brought about is produoing a great effect in that old peninsula. { New York Times. WANTON CRUELTY.-The Columbus (Qa.) Enquirer, of the 9th instant, says: "We heard, yesterday, that a negro woman, living somewhere in tho city, started to leave homo, and ; that her child began to cry for her, as children will for their parents. She became much enraged with the child, because it would not hush, and picked np a hammer and mashed its skull in, killing it instantly. We understand the woman has been put in jail for the crime." REMOVAL OF "LEE'S KOCK."-The Hagerstown Mail says: "Very few persons are aware, probably, that 'Lee's Rock,' an object of great in? terest to visitors at thc Antietam National Cemetery, has boen re? moved. This was done by order of tho trustees, at a meeting held at tho office of the association, at Sharps burg, Maryland, June 17, 18G8. Boston thinks of sending female physicians to China. Fung and Teh both favor the projeot, as according to Chinese oustom when an empress is sick, the dootor is not admitted to her presence, but sits outside the door and examines her pulse by hold? ing a string attached to her body. A Boston female, it is supposed, would be readily admitted to her bed-side. A number of generals, colonels, captains, lieutenants and privates of the Confederate States army, and commanders, ?cc, of the Confederate States navy, and various others, all of Norfolk and vicinity, have signed a call for a public meeting, to be held in that city, to endorse tho statements of General Lee's letter to Rosencranz. EXTRAORDINARY LUCK.-A gentle? man of Norfolk found, on Monday, the enormous sum of $300,000 in an old trunk, whioh hod not been opened for several generations. Mr. Miles Bell was the lucky man, and the money Spanish milled dollars, Vir? ginia currency of 1776, paper at that. [Norfolk Virginian. The Texas Convention is about to wind np and go home. Spent $100, - 000: been eighty-five days in session, and done nothing save hatch "out? rages," too groes even for radical consumption. Reconstruction is a failure ? A woman was arrested ia New York, on Monday night, for disorder? ly conduct, and yesterday morning died in hoi* cell. Her name was Adeline Peck, and, although reckless and dissolute, was very respectably connected, and was tho divorced wife of a wealthy merobant. Smoking, by ladies in Boston, is on tho increase. An extensive segar dealer in tho city says he sells an average of 300 per day for ladies' use, and thinks 1,000 por day, at least, aro puffed by tho fair ones. This shows that female civilization in Shawmut is progressing. An Englishman, named Peter Smith, got into a drunken brawl with Alexander Barris, in FToronco, S. G., on Sunday last. Smith re? ceived several thrusts with a knife, and died in half an hour. Unruly negroes are assaulting peaceable whites in Savannah ; and in tho surrounding conntry'destroying bridges, and stretching ropes across the road, to arrest the passage of vehicles. A mid-day star frightened the co? lored population of Charleston, a few days ago. The suggestion that it was tho star of Democracy did not tend to quiet their nerves. The New York Sun gives circula? tion to the incredible rumor that the World is about to bo consolidated with the Democrat, and that Brick Pomeroy is to have control. Archbishop Kenrick, of St. Louis, has denounoed "planchette" as an abomination, and threatens those who indulge in it with excommuni? cation. Carlotta's insanity has taken a tarn and she has become both violent and silly. She now gets up at night, tears her bed to pieces, and throws the pillows out of the window. The direotors of the elevated rail? way, in Greenwich street, New York, it is said, expect to have the road completed to Thirtieth street, by New Year's. London has the "champion female walker in the world," a mulatto woman, who does a milo in ll min? utes to music. A writer in tho Paris Figaro says all women aro devils. They are dd ils most men liko to be possessed of. WELL OFF.-Mr. |W. B. Astor's property is certainly worth $50,000, 000, and is, by many good judges, estimated at $100,000,000. Freight is now transported through from Charleston to Cincinnati, via the South Carolina Railroad, with? out breaking balk. The caterpillar is materially inj ur ing cotton in different sections of the Sooth. Tho Chinese embassy sailed from Now York, Wednesday, in the steam ship Java, for Europe. Three-cornered visiting cards are in vogue among our would-be fash ionable people. In Switzerland, G0.O00 persons make 1,200,000 watches a year. Matrimony-tho maiden's prayer, but the widow's "might." Tho only man not spoiled by being lionized wus Daniel. FOR RENT. THE TWO STORY BRICK DWELLING, on Main street, now occupiod by W. C.
