REDUCTION IN PRICE-CL?BnrNO.-The WEEKLY GLEANER oontainHmore reading matter than any other family paper pub? lished in the South-thirty-two long columns, printed in olenr type. Ik is tilled with original a? well as selected matter-editorials, correspondence, gene mi news, marketa, telegrams, interest? ing stories, sketches, poetry, efe. ~ Ita columns are now graced by a highly entertaining uouvellelle, the production of n lady of this city, and which has benn pronounced by disinterested critics as equal to the very best of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Orkney, or tho Fortunes of Juliet Clay? burn -a talc of tho Palmetto State," and will run through about twenty numbers of tho "GLEANER." AS wo aro desirous of introducing the paper-which is in overy sen so a "?onta companion'*-into every family in the State, we hare de? termined to reduce the yearly subscrip? tion price, as follows-payable, in all cases, in advance: Singlo copy 82.75; ten copies, (to one post office,) $25.00; twenty copies $45.00; fifty copies 8100. The GLEANER and the "Rural Caroli? nian"-tho popular agricultural monthly -will bo furnished, for one year, at four dollars. Address orders to PHONIX and GLEANER Office, Columbia, S. O. The following highly-suggestive article is oommonded to tho careful considera? tion of tho rising generation: FISHING WITH BEARDLESS HOOKS. Some mouths ago, business led me to an out-of-the-way place, where, near by a fall of water, there lived two boys, ono eight and the other ten years of age. They were bright-eyed, inquisitive little chaps, bat generally without either hat or shoes, and often with pants and jack? ets sadly rent. Busied, os I was, in the repairs of an old mill, these boys were handy to send on errands, bring tools, look after my horse turned out to bait in the road, and do numberless little things to save the steps of those who were older. Ooo day, on reaching the mill, I saw the oldest boy standing upon a rock, partly hidden by the folioge of the, sur? rounding trees, fishing: and; .aa of tain as he felt a nibblo, he would jerk bis line aa spitefully put of the water as though ho bore the little fish some terrible grudge and wanted to pay it by twitching their heads off. I asked him why he did so, and explained, as well os I was able, the best modes of taking such fish os made the little brook their home. After hear? ing me, patiently and respectfully, ho said: "Mister, you fish with a hook that has got a beard on it, and when yon hook one, he stays. My hook han't got n beard; it's an old broken one that 'Lijer Green gave me. I han't got the money to buy a new one. Mother wanta the pennies you give me. I like to fish like to catch 'em for mother-and I have to twitch 'em when they bite, or they will wiggle off and I shall lose them." I liked tho talk of that boy. He did not grumble about his old hook, but did the best he could with what he had to do it with; and day after day, as I saw bim doing it, and taking to bis mother the reward of his toil, which had cost him so mach care, thought and skill, I knew be was laying with that alder rod in his hands the foundations of a grand charac? ter. That is the way Horace Greeley began. He fished with a beardless book. His father was very poor, and he had scarcely any books, and what he had he was obliged to read by the dim light of pine knots which his own forethought had gathered; but he is now one of the ablest writers, ns well as one of the most influential men in America. And so with John Jacob Astor. Ho bad no money, or comparatively none, when he came to this country, but he wanted to trade, and so he carried his little bundle of goods around uuder his arm or in his hands. He fished with a beardless hook. Afterward he bought furs and carried them on his back, hundreds of miles to market, and when he died, he bad grown from absolute poverty to be the richest man in tho conntry. There is scarcely a great or a good man on this side of the Atlantic that did not have a tongh time in his boyhood, did not fish awhile with a beardless hook. GIRDLING THE EARTH.-Before another year rolls around, the earth will be en? circled with telegraph lines. Four links of extended telegraph cable connect Eugland with India and the isles of the sea below Fortber India, and now a fifth is to be laid from the Straits of Malacca to Hong Kong. The lines now laid are the Falmouth, Gibraltar and Malta; the Anglo-Mediterranean; the British Indian Submarine, and British Indian Extension Telegraph Companies. From a station of the latter, a oable 1,640 miles long will reaoh China, and so the world will be nearly belted, and will be virtu? ally so when Japan is reached. On this cable, now proposed, there will be a sta? tion in Cochin China. Another section proposed, of 1,000 mile? in length, will be from Hong Kong to Shanghae, touch? ing at the treaty ports, the cable to be fully laid by June, 1871. fm of the Sor/th not bo forgotten sidont mr Congre ever interfered with tho domeatio affairs of any State which has done every? thing that the President und Congress demanded that it should do. Tbe Presi? dent and Congress have the right-look at their array of bayonets, and deny it if you can-to say what the Southern States shall or shall not do, and if those States refuse to do it, why they must take the consequences.

At this, bis polit cal friends are all literally astounded There has been nothing in their polit cal experience to prepare them for tb development of each an eccentricity o the part of Mr. Stanton. Forgettin what a commentary it is upon the loa* ers of the party, the Republican new papers cheerfully accept the feet that 1 was not a thief as the best eulogy of tl deceased Secretary. What a significa] commentary does that single fact fo nish! Our Young ?Iib. . Mrs, Elisabeth Cady Stanton, who has i beej- known,tor several yeats, as an j advocate of woman's right?, fs?nale suf? frage and the equality of the sexes, do Everbd a lecture, in St. Louis, a few night? ago, from which the following extracts are taken : Mrs. Stanton took up the most impor? tant branoh of her subject first-the health of our young girls-and handled it in an able and sensible manner. She explained the causea of so much sickness and feebleness in young women, attribut? ing their physical maladies, chiefly, to their mode of dressing. In the coming years, we will hare no more sickness. When about to write her leoture, she asked her own daughters how she should treat tho subject, and they told her to write just in the way that sho was in the habit of talking to them. AU our cus? toms, she said, are based on the idoa that women aro intended to please men, not' by the attractions of the mind, but by the mero physioal power of their beauty and the decorations of dress. Women seek to make themselves attrac? tive to men by making themselves help? less. Some men foolishly say that a woman nnsexeB herself when sho acts naturally. Our fashions, said Mrs. Stanton, are sent to ns by the French courtezans. She had often bean pained, on seeing, at fashionable balls, the women half naked, while their brothers were dressed to the ohio. . The true attraction which women should have, is the attraction by which she can lift man np to tho realm of Surity of thought. Everything that rags her down is degrading to herself and him. Dante drew a true picture of the natural positions of the sexes, when he painted Beatrice on tho same plane with himself. "By the law of moral attraction, she attracts man from tho boll to the heaven." Sho would place wo? men ou a level platform by the sido of men. She said it was no part of the duty of young girls to attract men by their phy? sical charms, but it was their duty to mould themselves into moral beiugs. The oharms of the mind are tho true oharms that young women should pos seas, and these can only be acquired by attending to the laws of our moral being and abandoning the frivolities of fashion. An English author has written an essay that proves that there are superflu? ous women. This is accounted for by the fact the large majority of men are doing women's work. In this country* every man can find manly occupation, land they should leave the women a broader field for labor. She was pleased to see the enterprise of the city of St. Louis-that a bridge is being built, and the Mississippi is to be dammed at Keo? kuk. This was the kind of work for men to engage in. Let women bc , taught to make themselves useful-to earn their own bread, so that they will j not be entirely dependent upon men. Goethe says: "She is a true woman who, when her husband dies, can be the father of his children." When on a visit to tho University of Ann Arbor, Mrs. Stanton had a discus? sion with one of the professors on the difference between the mode of training boys and girls. He said girls conld not endure as much as boys, and she thought they could endure more, and suggested that if the boys of the University were laced and pinched and cramped by dress as the girls are, they would soon languish and dio. Exercise should be regular. When a girl she used to walk five miles before breakfast, and wore a pair of boots just like her father's, and she was always healthy and happy. Napoleon once said, you cannot make a good sol? dier out of a sick man. Mrs. Stanton pronounced a glowing eulogy upon the women of America. She had often boen surprised at their self possession when mingling with the aris? tocracy of Europe-treating all classes as equals, and addressing an emperor with as little embarrassment as a peasant. This superiority is, in a measure, attribu? table to the free institution* of this oountry.? Every girl should be taught some use? ful employment, so that she can support herself. The helplessness of inauy of our girls, left without the means of taking care of themselves, leads to their degra? dation and ruin. Life is a hard struggle 1 for men who aro trained to somo useful occupation, but how much more HO to women who are reared in idleness and luxury, with every door closed against1 them. To-morrow misfortune may come to those who are in affluence to-day, and what will become of their daughters unless they are trained to make a living for themselves ? It will be your fault if they fall into the whirlpool of destruc? tion, because you have taught them nothing useful. What can these young girls do for an honorable support ? If you could seo half the letters, said Mrs. 3., that come ; to me every day from girls who have j been reared in affluence, and are now | outcasts from society, begging to know ; how they can retrieve themselves, yon would see the necessity of bringing your girls up to earn an honorable support, j Women are capable of learning many i things ; they can earn a living as law? yers, physicians, telegraph operators, clerks, school teachers, &o. She knew two female physicians in New York whose praotice is worth 825,000 a year. Burr IBU ACTORS' AGES.-In a letter on the longevity of actors, Mr. Howard | Paul supplies the following particulars regarding some British popular favorites: ? As one illustration of longevity, take Mr. Charles Mathews, who floats about the stage like a butterfly, and counts np sixty-five yeera. He possesses the same elegance of figaro and vivacity of spirit that distinguished him thirty years ago. There is Benjamin Webster, at leaat seventy, and still plays with remarkable force, and has been an author as well as actor, and has managed two, if not three, theatres at the same moment. Buck stone, Compton and Creswick tro along in the sixties ; and as for W. H. Payne, of Covent Garden, he has left seventy along way behind, and walks ereotly as a boy. and nightly goes through panto? mimic fatigas that would prostrate some of tho yoong men of the period. Ma? dame Celeste, who still plays yoong ladies, was a "star" in 1889. Mrs. Stir? ling, despite her grey hair, looks five-and twenty when ahe is animated. Mrs. Mellen has been acting away any night these thirty years; and as for John Parry, did he not enohant oar grand fathers, and ia he not doing the same for our children? Mario is nearly, if not quite, sixty, and women yet fall in love with bim; and Lester Wallack, of New Yoxk, who. if he would count np carefully, would reach half century, is at this honr the beet looking jeune premier on the stage. Olm DUTT.-Another year is npon ni, and, before ita dose, we will havo another general election. .State officers, ui? m ber? ol' the Liegiuialore and Con? gressmen are to be elected by us in October next. It is of vital moment to the best inte? rests of onr State that the present in? cumbents be defeated, ?nd good men elected in their stead. This is practica? ble, ii we will simply do two things, whioh wisdom demands: 1. Be united. He who prefers a man or set of mon to tho success of the party opposed to ofllcial dishonesty, ia not true. He may boast that he is not fet? tered by party nominations, but, when he pursues a courso which must end in the defeat of good mon, ho is himself not a patriot and uot to bo trusted. 2. Wo must bo practicable. Tho four teent-n and fifteenth amendments to tho Constitution of tho United States have settled many things-the first is passed, and the second will bo. Wo must read the changes wrought by these amend? ments. Questions which divided the two great political parties of tho country two years ugo would appear ridiculous if lugged into n political canvass now. They are settled against us. Congres? sional reconstruction and negro suffrage are issues of tho past, quito as mach as tho Louisiana purchase and tho Mexican war. If wo do not so regard them, wo aro impracticable, unwise, and destined to defeat Victory is in our hands, if we will only grasp it. Our platform is one npon which white and black may unite and join hands. It | ia "opposition to official dishonesty." We want no other plank. Upon this, we would nominate good men, and they would bo elected. We beg our readers to think over theso things, aud begin to proparo themselves. By July, we ought to havo our candidates in the field, without division. ?Soon, nye, very soon, wo should commenco tho work of organization. Let men begin to think of clubs; and lot clubs bo as brief in their resolutions as possible. Let them, above all things, be wise, nud careful not to waste their strength in tilting against wind-mills.- Union Times. STEPHEN ALLIES'S POCKET-PIECE. Among tho victims of tho Henry Clay disaster, was Stephen Allen, Esq., nu aged mau of tho purest character, for? merly a Mayor of New York, beloved and esteemed by ?ill who knew him. In his pocket-book, was found a printed slip, apparently cut from a newspaper, of which tho following isa copy: "Keep good company, or none. Never bo idle. If your hands cannot be use? fully employed, attond to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak tho truth. Make few promises. Live up to your engagements. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. When you speak to a person, look him in tho face. Good company and good conversation aro the very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all things else. Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts. If any ono speaks evil of you, let your lifo be so no one will believe him. Drink no kind of intoxi? cating liquors. Ever live (misfortune excepted) within your own income When you retire to bed, think over what you have been doing during the day. Make no haste to bo rich, if you wonk] prosper. Small and steady gains give competency with tranquillity of mind. Never play at any game of chance. AvoiO temptation, through fear you may not withstand it. Earn money beforo yoi spend it. Never run in debt, unless yoi see n way to get out again. Never bor row, if yon can possibly avoid it. Dt not marry, until you aro able to suppor a wife. Nover speak evil of any one Bo just before you aro generous. Koej yourself innocent, if you would bc hap py. Save when you are young, to spent wheu you aro old. Bead over the nbovi maxims at least once a week." FAILINGS ARE COMFORTS AT EIGHTY. I havo got very deaf.

Attach piece of metal, saya shilling, to a threat Having placed your elbow on the tabb hold the thread between the thumb au fore-finger, and allow the shilling to han in the centre of a glass tumbler. TL poise will immediately cause the shillin to vibrate like a pendulum, and the v brations will increase nntil tbe shillin strikes the side of the glass; and s tippo ing the time of the experiment to be i the hour of seven, or half-past sevei the pendulum will strike the glass seve times, and then lose its momentum an return to the centre. If yon bold tl thread a. eualoient length ?#*?iae**i elapsed to convince yon that tho exper ment is complete. We need not ad that the thread most be held with steady hand, otherwise tho vibrating mi tion would be counteracted. At wha ever honr of the day or night the exper ment is made, the coinoidenoo willi the same. Females aro in a decided minority i the West and in tho new States, win they are in a majority in tho New Eo| land States. Thus, in Ohio, thorn is s excess of 40,500 mon, in Michigan 840 OOO, and in California 143,000. In Ma saebnsetts, on the contrary, thore a; 36,000 more women than men; in Ne Hampshire 6,500; in Rhodo Island 6,00 and in Connecticut 7,800.

SWIFT VENGE ANOR.-In the sonthern part of Graves County, on Sunday even? ing, the 12th instant, the person ot Miss Dick was outraged by two negro men. They were arrested on tho Wednesday following, and examined by a magistrate tho same day, who held them for trial, and ordered their commitment to the jail in Mayfield. Thoy started to May? field in custody of a constable, and hbd gone about eight miles. When threo miles from Mayfield they were met by four men in disguise, who ordered the officer to hand over tho blacks to their charge. Being overpoworod, tho officer was compelled to do so, and the negroes were then shot through the head. A number of balls were fired through each, causing immediate death. Tho bodies were taken to Mayfield, mid au inquest held upon them ou Thursday, when a verdict in accordance with tho facts was rendered.-Hickman {Ky.) Courier, De? cember 18th.
