COLUMBIA, S. C. > Thurlaxy fXotniug, June 30,1870. The Republic of Liberia is, from late reporta, in an ezoeedingly bad way. The people have rebelled against some of the new President's appointments, and threaten them with assassination, if they assume tho cares and duties of office.. While this pleasant otate of affairs exists within the republic, his Majesty of Ashantee makes an occasional raid from withont, and in the last, succeeded in capturing and carrying off a missionary, for whom he demends ransom, ?tomo of the afflicted friends of the gentleman, in a burst of generosity, have sent this to tho king, in the shape of "a pair of scis? sors and a piece of gum coral," and al? though it is certainly valuing missionary very cheap, it is to be hoped the equiva? lent will be accepted. Whether it is or .not, it w?ll at least act as a damper on African missionary enthusiasm. No man can entertain either ordinary respect or futuro anxiety for a people who estimate .a asissionary's value, cloth and all, as Mow ns "a pair of scissors and a piece of . gum coral. " .THE BEPORTED ROUMANIAN MASSACBE -AnL A MUDDLE.-Tho story of the wholeralo massacre of Jewish men, wo -men and children iu one of thc towns of Rounmuc's, bas not yet died out. By -mail, we have received papers from france and Germany, purporting to give circumstantial details of the outrage1, witb names, dates anda variety of mi na? tue of the most particular character. At the same time, we have to acknowledge a letter from the diplomatic agent of Roumania, at Paris, utterly douyiug the whole affair and citing the contradictory despatches already published. So there the matter rest?; the dead victims, if there bo any, cannot speak for them? selves, and wo aro thrown back upon the blessed conflict of petty, narrow, jaun? diced opinions which are rapidly destroy? ing the dignity and influence of the press in many places. The only solution of the Boumanian muddle thus far at? tained, is simply one worthy of Captain Cuttle and his great friend Bunsby-"If so, why so, and if not so, why not so, also!" '^AGRICULTURAL EXPOSITION" IN AUS? TRIA.-We observe that at Gratz, in Aus? tria, in the months of September and October of this year, a grand "agricultu? ral exposition" is to be held. Tho World says: ."The exhibition in quostion is to be Iheld in Gratz, the capitul of the ancient Duchy of Styria, and one of the most prosperous and agreeable cities in Eu? rope. It has a population of between 70,000 and 80,000 souls, and lies in thc heart of "green Steyermark," one of the very richest rural regions of the Euro? pean coutinont-a land as famous for fat fowls as Pennsylvania, Berkshire, or French Mans, or English Dorking, and destined to be, at no remote day, us famous for good red wino as the best provinces of Franco herself. It is con? nected by rail with both Vienna and Trieste, the capital and the great sea-port of the Empire, lying nearly midway be? tween them. Branch lines also bring it into immediate relations with tho mag? nificent agricultural territories of Hun? gary aud Croatia. Throughout all this vast extent of country a great demand already exists, and a greater is constantly springiug up, for agricultural imple? ments of all kinds. The committee in charge of the exhibition at Gratz have announced that they would not formally undertake to receive goods after Apri?, 1870, but such aH moy bo sent after that date will bo cared for as fur as room for placing them remains, and wo have no doubt that particular efforts would at any time bo rando to secure propor attention to any really valuable American contri? butions." GOOD WORKS.-It is too warm for quarreling. To keoji cool should be the first object of every man at this season of tho year, no matter what his color, or bis politics, or the special scheme of le? gislation which he may favor or opposo. To get into a sweat in the month of June or July, is very disagreeable, and every mau of right feeling will avoid it, except in cases of absolute necessity. Tho hot? headed should put ice "on the brain" to escape avonging sun-strokes, aud those who are given to warm words, should cool their tongues iu some allaying beve? rage. Why should any body be a fire? water when tho summer sun is blazing overhead? Let us all thiuk and speak only such things as will abate our own beat and that of those around us. Let .us put uU our good things on ice, and create about UH a grateful atmosphere, that will promoto our own comfort and that of everybody else. As in tbe phy? sical world, so is there in tho intellectual and moral, a height where there is per? petual cooluess. We must rise to tbat altitude, and look with pity on those who tug and tussle in the heat and dust below tis. FEMALE "STRATEGIST."-Clinton, Iowa, has a female strategist.

EDITOR: I see going the round? of the newspapers, an account of that alligator-horse, published in the Chroni? cle and Sentinel, ot Augusta, Ga., as told by the South Carolina Railroad conduc? tor. Ho no doubt told the truth, BO far as he went-that tho animal weighed 350 pounds, and is perfectly docile and domesticated; works splendedly in plow harness, and far superior to mules or horses, and that a fine crop will be raised by his assistance in cultivating tho crops. But th"*, railroad conductor forgot, or did uot ?now, tho most im? portant particular in the use and econo? my of this alligator-horse. He lives en? tirely on pine-knots, of which "Mid? way," on the South Carolina Railroad, abounds. -Yet, although he seems to be completely docile and domesticated, these exct. ive hot days, about mid-day, he becomes uneasy and refractory; swal? lows a pine-knot, makes for the nearest pond and takes water for about three hours; when he comes out and is ready for work. A friend at my elbow, says he thinks this alligator would be like tho negro's terrapin ut Pocotaligo. (Poke ho-tail-he-go.) I A NEW ICE-MAKING MACHINE.-Thero I comes from Germany a promise of re I lief from the want of ice. A certain Franz Windhnuseu, of Brunswick, has invented a new machine for freezing wa? ter without tho aid of chemicals. Tho process takes place iu a cylinder, "where tho air is first powerfully condensed, then cooled by tho admission of water, and finally expanded till ?ts pressure is ubout equal to that of tho atmosphere." By this means, it ia asserted, tho very as? tonishing result is obtained of lowering the temperature of the air to fifty de? grees Celsius (four degrees Fahrenheit,) so that when conducted iu moderate quantities into a 6paco through which water flows, "tho waler ?6 almost immedi? ately turned into ice, of which euormous blocks may thus be obtained if desired." Thc invention will also, it is said, be ap? plicable to the cooling of largo apart? ments, such as theatres, hospitals, and churches. A great "independence" mass meeting took place in Montrenl, Canada, ou Sat? urday night. In the course of tl stirring speech by Hon. Jehu Young, ono of the leading locnl politicians, he .said that the time had come wheu Cauada should sever tho connection with Great Britain and become au independent nation. At this announcement tho greater part of the vast assembly cheered lustily. Mr. Lntlamme, Q C., said Unit an appeal to Euglund for support iu easy of an inva? sion of the Dominion would bo futile. Tho present imperial administration had deserted her colonies, aud proved her? self a step-mothor to those who had fostered the deepest affection for her. It was, thcreforo, folly to think of any? thing but iudepoudonce. Other speak? ers followed iu the same straiu, and tho meeting adjourned to Tuesday. The indopeudeuco movement may therefore bo regarded as fully started iu tho Do miuiou. REFORMING THE WICKED.-Not long ugo, tho Boston polico made a wholesale captuie of women found in tho streets iu pursuit of an evil calling. Of tho whole number arrested, 113 were allowed to go constructively free, ou comlitiou that they abaudoued their wicked course of life. Fifty-six went home to relatives, and becamo "reformed;" fifteen went to respectable places of employment, five wore surrendered by their bondsmeu be? cause they gave no evidences of rcpeu tauco, thirty ran away aud canuot be found, ouo weut crazy, and six were ad? mitted to a charity home. Ou the whole, the system hus worked for good, and tho authorities will continue to apply it. If even teu per cent, of these women ure saved by it, society will have great reason to rejoice. A story has boon told of a graceless scamp who gained access to the duren don printing office, in Oxford, when the forms of a uow edition of the Episcopal Prayer Book had just beeu made up aud woro ready for the press. lu that part of tho "form" coutainiug tho marriage service, ho substituted tho letter k for tho letter v, in the word live; aud thus tho vow "to love, houor, comfort, Seo., so long as yo both shall like/" The chauge was not discovered until the whole of the edition was printed off. If tho sheets thus rendered useless iu Eng? land bo still preserved, it would bo a good speculation to have them neatly bound and forwarded to Indiana and Connecticut. Tho Mexican rob?is iu tho North? western part of the republic aro actively at work. Ou tho 28th of last month, an armed force, under Colonel Yascano, captured tho city of Guaymas, seized a quantity of arms and made a levy on tho citizens umouutiug to So?.UOO. No mat? ter to what part of Mexico wo look, we liud revolution breaking out. The Go? vernment is openly defied, its laws tram? pled on, and Mexican citizens forced to contribute to the support of lawless and desperate bands that aro to be fouud evorywhero throughout the republic. It is understood that orders will be issued authorizing the assignment of white recruits to thc ninth anil louth regiments of cavalry, now composed of colored troops. Tho object of this is to keep tho regiments up to the numeri? cal standard, in view of the constant de? mands upon tho arm of the service. It is only with grout difficulty that colored recruits aro obtained, us thia element of the population seems to take very little fancy to the military service ou the borders. In North Carolina, a railroad ulong the Tar Diver is to bo constructed on tho Welsh narrow gauge plan of two aud-a half feet. Extrnon?lnnry Cuse of Delusion mad Supcxatltion. ^ The Ledger at length brings qa the particulars o? a case of negro supersti? tion in an upper county, of which we have bad vagqe accounts before: On Sunday, the 15th day of May, at the farm of Mr. X Wright, two miles from Springfield, in Limestone County, an old negro woman, named Jane, who, with her husband, lived on said farm, announced to the rest of the negroes on the farm, some eight or ten adalts in number, that siro had just received a revelation from God that the millennium was to como on Thursday, tho 26th of last mouth, and that the mighty "Ship of Zion" would come-water or no wa? ter-and tuke all those to glory who should follow implicitly the directions she (Jane) would give them, she being, ns she avowed, the chosen instrument of God for their salvation. She first preached a whole day to a largo congre? gation, aud after having made immy converts, she commanded them to burn one-half of all the kitchen furniture, clothing, etc, they possessed, which they did in a mighty bou tiro. She next commanded them to cut up with hoes ono-half of all their growing crops, which they did, digging everything up by the roots. Much of the corn was waist high, and both com and cotton wero good generally. She then commanded tbwt they givo way half of their children, their wagons, plows and other farming utensils, which they did, to several per? sons living near. Thun carno a com? mand for both sexes entirely to disrobe themselves and pray and dance the "Holy Dance," which was implicitly obeyed. Mauy of the small children, upon refusing to obey these orders, were severely beaten, and oue mau, who refused, was very nearly beaten to death by tho women. They were then made to partake of what abo denominated tho "Lord's Supper," the bread consisting of water aud salads, aud the wiuu of wa? ter nud molasses. Sho suid a human sacrifice was demanded, end accordiugl} stripped her own infant of its clothiug, wrapped it in a cloth aud prepared to givo it as a burnt offering, and would assuredly have doue so hut for tho inter? ference of some preseut, who were not so insane. They were tbeu commanded to kill all their dogs, which they did, to the number of fifteen., and after some two days-these things all tho timo going on-they were ordered by their leader to cat of tho putrid carcasses, at which command they, for the first time, evinced a disposition to "go slow. ' While they wero halting, their leader endeavored to show them how lo "go through a dorg," but her stomach being of different notion from her head, es? chewed tho repast, and speedily deliv? ered itself of such wonderful morsels. Afc this stage of tho proceedings, Mr. Isaac Durst, a gentleman living near, aud who had desired to stop the insano proceedings before, but know not ex aotly how to proceed, tobi her husband she was crazy, aud to get a chain aud fasten ber, where abo could no longer do mischief. Shu at once fled, and was pursued, caught aud Recured, nud at once the rest of ber followers gathered round aud seemed, for the first time, to become awure of tho mischief they bad wrought. They thanked Mr. Durst greatly for breaking tho spell that Jane had thrown around them-went to their now almost ruined fields and commenced work again in good earnest-the parties having kept ami returned to them their stock, farming utensils, etc. They are now, however, without tho necessary apparel and food to enable them to work successfully. The excitement lasted some seven or ten days, and all that time no work of nuy kind was done by these deluded creatures. [ Galveston Ci vii i un. TnE G it A VE OF OSCEOLA.-In tho last number of Leslie's Illustrated Heirs, ap? pears a sketch of the grave of Osceola, the Indian elrief, near the walls of Fort Moultrie. Accompanying tho sketch is au account of Osceola's life and death, from which wo gather that he waa thir? ty-six years of age nt thc time of his death, and during his lifo had slain a large number of white persons iu the glades of Florida. His father was au Englishman named Power, and bis mo? ther tho daughter of a Cherokee chief? tain. Whilu on a visit to an American fort, sho was seized and sold as a slavo. This aroused the anger of Osceola, and from that time to his capture, ho waged o bitter war against tho whites. On the 23d of October, 1837, while holding n conference with General Jessup, near St. Augustine, ho was seized, with a number of his followers, and tnkon to Fort Moul? trie, whore hu Was closely confined nutil his death. Osceola died as ho had lived, a hater of tho raco from which his father had sprung. Ho lay on tho couch iu tho cell assigned, nud with a frown as dark as a cloud on his not uuhandsome face, he folded his arms across his ampio chest, and thus his Bpirit passed quietly away to tho happy huutiug grounds of tho Seminoles, where his bravos were impa? tiently awaiting his presence. Dickens was strongly averse to spiritu? alism, butbuliovod in and practiced mes? merism, and placed tho little heroine of bis unfinished story under inosmeric in fluouco, which would have been one of tho most striking features of tho Mystery. Mr. Dickens waa not only a powerful maguetizer, personally rolioving pain and curing disenso, but he sometimes sent magnetized or mesmerized paper to persons who wrote requesting him to do so, and they declared that it acted ns strongly and beneficially us if ho wore preseut. This, of course, will bo attri? buted to imagination, but the power of so operating upon people's imagination ns to soothe their pains and cure their diseases, is u gift of considerable value. Au aged mau, named Carl H. Mullan, shot himself in Woodlawn Cemetery, Boston, on Friday, where he had gone to visit the grave of his wife. . DECOYING GIB LS FROM THEIR HOHES. There s?ems to be nb doubt that the business of decoying young girls from their bornes, for thu basest of purposes, ia being followed to a terrible extent at ??resent iu different parts of tbe country.

A Memphis amendment and a white boy quarreled for tho privilege of hold? ing u gentleman's horse. The negro drew a knife aud struck at the hoy, who took tho weapon away, and but for the interference of by-standers, would have furnished material for a colored funeral and a Ku Klux outrage. lu Calhoun County, Miss., a few days ago, three little negroes, of three, five and seven years old, being left alone by their parents, tho eldest chopped off a leg and arm of the youngest with an axe, while the other held him down.

BOY SMOKERS.-Here and there, about the street corners, and around the doors of places of amusement, you will see a lot of urchins, some of them decently clad, and presenting a respectable ap? pearance, who are engaged in asserting their manhood by puffing away at exe? crable cigars. It is fuir to presume that their anxious mammas are not aware of the foul habits their darling boys pick up and practice outside of the parental roof; but for their benefit they should kuow that it is stated that n French phy? sician has investigated the effect of smok? ing on thirty-eight boys between the ages of nine and fifteen, who were ad? dicted to the habit. "Twenty-seven pre? sented distinct symptoms of nicotine poison.
