Wednesday Morning, kay 17t 1871. Nothing 80 "be?utif ally illustrates thq wisdom of Proridenoe as the early history of mankind in Eden's nnoprrapt-. ed ?arden. { WWI might, the genius pi Milton expatiate-thore^. whore vitality, fostered by uncontaminated air, lost, nothing of its freshness, and Eye, fairer, than any daughter succeeding her, wan? dered amidst those delicious things, fresh from the hand of their great Orea tor, which all lovers of natara, aye, and of man's best earthly vocation, still de? light to cherish, to nee and to admire aa the gifts of 'God. Wo honor tho agri? culturist and esteem his calling. Ancient Greeks, ere lust of conquest, luxury and oivil strife made thern^ an easy pre^y. to^ war-like barbarian hordes, were agricul? turists, and the after renown of their poets, surpassing all others, has grown mainly out of those pure tastes and'tliat love of nature, best caltiv?ted'in coun? try scenes. Arcadia suggested all-those utopian dreams, which haunt imagiua * tive minds down tb the present day. Thia is not all; imagination and impossi? ble theories apart. Whence does any oountry, or any people, derive its most enduring prosperity? Carthage and Tyre, by commercial enterprise, and the dominion of the seas, sat like queens^ their well-filled harbors and adventurous fleets attesting tho faot that cum meroe ia a grand source of r?venue to any nation; Yet empire is unstable. War may deso? late a great etty, abd grass overgrow box once thronged streets. Desolation, may brood Oter stately s tr no tn roB, and bleak ruin preside, where all was shortly before proud triumph j and Tafiourity. -\ Bo Nine? veh, and Babylon folL Bat those who draw sustenance from gray old mother earth, in whose boaom oar mortal bodies must at length lie bid away, combining witt h?r. strange secrets, and finding fellowship with her despised occupante, the drawling worm and all its drear sister? hood of sub-mnndnno, half , animated, . odious things, are unaffected by the rise or fall of cities. Let na forgive earth fox so teaching us. hu mili ty. Let ns thank her for that moat wonderful and most beneficent product which she yields tc the hand of industry. Her treasures never fail, When secured by industrious hands. \ Let the realm be ruled as il may; cultivators of the soil defy bad government. It may, to a certain ex? tent, oppress them, bat, unless inhu? manly tyrannical, agriculture m y despoil despotism of half ita tyranny. With Heaven's free breeze around and itt - glorious "sky above them, let them toil on. God's blessed sun-shine will, in due season, bring to perfection the fruit ol their industry. What is earthy after all, but the foot stool of God's throne? Anj people, or any individuals,jvhqt^herisL nature, and cultivate earth, will ?nd, ic . time, that this has been their best voca tion. We are glad tu learn thut fro1 m al portions of this State' the promiae of i harvest follows close upon the seed-time, Every interest of the agrioulturist looki promising; The laborer is assumed o his hire and the planter of bis reward. RADICAL OOTBAQE IN TEX?&*-Tut telegram from Galveston, publisbei Siturduy, ? gives intelligence of high handed doings by the ...L?gislature o Texas. It would seem j that the Radica members, of the House of Delegates had, in caucus, determined, in defiance of th I State constitution, to prolong" tho, ; ses? sion, and that their. Speaker (s^'.Bwji?aT refacing to be bound by the action oi thexsanous, has been' removed from thc speakership. His defence of himseli and his'exposure of his party was mani} ' and courageous. Those who arc hunting for "Southern outrages" will not soon find a greater one than this. . TUREE GonpnED MEN DROWNED.-Tin Aoqaia Greek steamer Charlotte Yander bilt, while on her way down the rivei Wednesday night, after her return tx Washington with tho Fifth Maryland .Regiment excursionists to Mount Vor non, ran over and sunk a row boat en gaged in gilling off Indian Head. Tin steamer waa stopped instantly} ant every effort possible made to save th? threo colored men who were in the boat but without success, and they were al drowned. It is reported that daring th? same night, bnt farther down the river, the Vanderbilt ran over another gilling boat-with what result has not beet stated. -?--??-? o- ' A horrible outrage by the Ka Klux ii reported in North Carolina. It was ai attempt to intimidate a minister of th? gospel.. A negro preacher in Linooli loanty has reoeived the following anohy mons letter: "Roverend arid Dear Sir Yon mast either qnit preaching or qui stealing hogs. . . K. K. K." ?U China, no virtue is universally re cognized except'duty to parents. Th? motivo to avoid disgrace and seek honoi is that credit may be refleotod back on i man'* father, and this reverence is th? basis of all respect paid to the pol?tica powers that be. . "Tho erring wife shot hor betrayer and then committed rfuioide by opening the veins in her arms," is the sum anc substance of a domestic tragedy cs giver by the Newark papers. TH? OIUOIN OF LOCOMOTIVES -Some whore about the year 1780, ao rana the tale, a travettog millwright^ n those, days .'Of{ tho kitAga of ?,^eobaaTp3-i?Qoti?flor?, *ud with tho broa*jeatof^NdrtherpX)ro?Q acoent, Blipped alt SohW aJIooaljtyjont? indicative of flelcT" sports, bat. then arm now tha'.factorv ol BorJltoU & Watt, .and asked for work. Hia aspect was little better than one of "beggary and poor looks," and Mr. Boulton bad given, him God speed to some ether work shop when, aa he waa turning awaynsorrowf olly, Mr. Boulton suddenly railed tho poor fellow back. . "What kind of hat's yon ye have on your head?. my^man?" T"It's jost, timrf er, sir," replied tho mari. "Tim* mer, my mani" ejaculated the manufac? turer, "just let me look at it. Where on oarth did you get?" ?>I juBt turned it in the lathe," said the mechanic, with jost a Hush of pride. "But it's oval, not round, my mau,"- said' Mi."Boulton,' in surprise, "and lathes'ttirn things round." "Awool! I just gar'd tho lathe gang anithor gate to please me, and I'd u long journey before me, and I'd thocht I'd havo a hat to keep ont water; and I had nn mookie to spare, aol just mady une." By his inborn ingenuity the man had invented -the oval -lathe, and made his hat with it, and the hat very soon led to making his fortuno-so mysteriously do trifles work oat gr??t ends. The fact was, Mr. Boulton was a mau of sharp penetration, and not ono at all likely, in those days, when good men were 6caroe, to loso eight of BO valuable a helper when he found him; and so the after famons Wm. Murdoch took suit and servioe under. Boulton & Watt, and, in 1784, made the first wheel vehicle im? pelled by steam in England-aye, made it with the very hand? and brain-cunning that had before produced the "Ummer hat." - Out of that seed, after ninety years of sowing and reaping; a ' goodly crop has sprungup, which, like thu grain of mustard seed, replenishes the civilized earth, and will yet civilizo the unciviliz? ed, though kindred still rise against kindred, and nation against nation, in mortal, crdel strife, slaying-eaoh other with the infernal - inventions of men's brains that for a time usurp all the honor and praise that should be reserved alone for those things which tend to peace and tranquility, brotherly love and prosperity. A JAOK^SIIEPPABD.-St. Crispin never had a more ingenious follower than James A. Hamilton;' whose recent escape from ? Pennsylvania ? prison* ia the mont marvellous rogue's -work on record. Hamilton was an. old prison bird, and one of the most .dangerous co a vi o ts in the Lancaster prison. Assigned to a solitary "iron-olad" cell, he was set to work at shoemaking. Some time ago he complained that his bench was too low, and asked for a couple of short pine planks to pat auder the legs to raise it a few inohes. For weeks he worked auder these boards at night, cutting a hole through the floor, and ia the daytime covered hiB tracks with the boards. Having ont through the flooring, he reached solid masonry, and worked upon that with suoh success that eventually enough was removed to admit the pas? sage of his body. Having cleared the mason-work of a space a foot thiok and about throe feet broad, he attacked the solid prison wall from his narrow crevioe under the floor, and although it was three feet thick he made a breach and passed safely through, and let himself down two stories by a very thin but ex? ceedingly stout shoe-thread. Breakiag into the wash-bouse and carpenter shop, he procured a ohange of clothes and lumber to construct a ladder with which to pass over tho jail-yard wall. This ladder is a model of ingenuity. None of the lamber was stoat enough to make the sides, so he lashed soveral slender Eieoca together with bed cord, and tied roko ri barrel staves across for rounds. With this the prisoner found his way to freedom. Early Sunday morning his flight was discovered. In his cell fully a cart-load of debris was found carefully stored under his bed, the slats of which were cut in half aud bored at regular distances to make a ladder, which, how? ever, he had been unable to get throngh the peculiarly shaped hole by which he had escaped.- Ne io York Tribune. How TO CHEAT THH DOCTOR.-A sol? dier, a patient at Herbert Hospital, a few days ago, wrote the following advioo to his comrade: "Previous to going to hos? pital, rub your tongue with chalk, ready for the word, 'Pat oat your tongue;' then,-when the doctor is going to feel your poise, be. sure to knock yonr elbow against the wall, and it will beat to any number ia a minute; then, if you wish to persevere to bs invalided, be on the lookout for a friend to bring you a bit of raw bullock's liver in the morning, in order to spit blood for the doctor. Of oonrse, have a little bit of the liver in your mouth, under your tongue, fresh, ready for him when he comes round tho hospital ward, and have a good piece ready to spit ont for him when he ap? proaches your oot. Then give a great sigh and a groan, and you aro sure to be ordered lamb ohops, ohioken, rico pud? ding, port wine, Guinness' stout. In faot, yon may live on the fat of the land for the remainder of yonr soldiering, which will'not bo long; but, depend upon it, you are sure of a pension, even under ten year's service. Gen. Hampton waa in St. Louis tho other day. The papers there spoke of his demeanor as modest and retiring. The Chicago Post, a Republican organ, mentioned the fact in this way: "Wade Hampton, who. bad somo repute a few years ago as a rebel raider, is prowling nboat St, Louis." A girl in St. Louis, who is studying law and intends to practice, was asked by an onviouo lawyer if she waa .not afraid of losing? her reputation. She replied that it had never occurred to her that lawyers generally had any reputa? tion to lose. The conversation was bore ierminatod. : . YELLOW FavEtt, IN BUENOS AYRES.

When the djsease broke- pat in tho city Of Buenos Ayres, it Contained 200,000 inha? bitants. Of these, on April 12tb, 120, 000 had fled to the plains, where they were camped in tenta or quartered in the hats of trie cattle raisers. The raiuy eoaeon had just set in, subjecting the fugitives to discomfort* of most miser? able description. Of those who remain? ed in the city, 700 were dying daily. Among the Americans resident in Buenos Ayres, who have fallen victims to the disease, aro Messrs. Edward Spring, Edward Enge'rt, G. Walker, John But? ler, Wm. Nicholsons, Charles Longford, John Gibson, Gallagher, Berrian, Aro Cenn and threo little daughters of Mr. Kauoko. In view of the suffering pre? vailing, tho Argentine Consnl-Geoeral, Now York, gives notica that contribu? tions received at his Consulute will be forwarded to the United States Minister at Buenos Ayres, for distribution, through the local aid societies. "It will be cheering," says the Mobile Register, "to know that Gen. Sherman, without'n guard, baa been able to travel through the South with as perfect safety, and the recipient of as perfect politeness, aa was .experienced by Sergeant Bates when he marched on foot and alone, with a United States flag in his hand, from Vicksburg to Washington." Sergeant Bates has just published a letter on the subject of his famoua mar oh, iu which he saya that the only obstacles he en? countered were from carpet-baggers, and negroes instigated by them, their object being to make his enterprise a failure and to throw the blame on tho Southern people. To effect this object, he was menaced with threats of personal vio? lence, and was sought to bo bribed to give up his trip. He alleges that in North Carolina he was offered $10,000 to quit, and he ascribes the offer to Gov. Holden. THE CHESTER TROUBLE OF THE CHAR ; LOTTE, COLOMBIA AND AUGUSTA BAIL ROAD.-At Chester, S. C., a deoree has been filed in the Clerk of the Court's office, signed by his Honor Judge Thom? as, sustaining the position token by the counsel for the Cbnrlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, in the cases tried at the recent term of the Circuit Court for that County. According to this de? cree, cotton is nu article of measure? ment and not a heavy article. Tho com? pany is not required to pro rata its* charges for distances less than 100 miles, and, therefore, the company has the right, under its charter, to exact" 34.50 per bule on cotton, from that point to Charlotte. ADVTOE TO YOUNO LADIES.-Bo cheer? ful, but not gigglers. Be serious, but not dull. Be communicative, but not forward. Be kind, but beware of silly, thoughtless speeches; although yon may forget them, others will not. Beware of levity and familiarity with young men; a modest reserve, -without' affectation, ia thu only safe path. Court and encourage serious conversation with those who are truly serious and conversible; and do not go into valuable company without en? deavoring to improve by the intercourse permitted to yon. Nothing is more unbecoming, when one part of a compa? ny is engaged in profitable and interest? ing conversation, than that tho other part should bc trifling and talking com? parative nonsense to each other.

Nearer and nearer, the irate father approached, and just aa the top of tho hill was reached, und as bo came within arms-length of tho little fugitive, who was ready to fall from exhaustion, tho boy quickly faoed about, dropped npou the ground, and with an indcscri bable cast of countenance exclaimed "Papo, that-makea a fellow blow don't it?" This "changing of the " sub? ject" was so extremely ludicrous that the father laughed heartily over the strategy which his hopeful son exhibited, and the rod was not used. It in now proposed to introduce the system of narrow-gauge tracks for street I railways in small cities, where tracks of the ordinary width would not pny. It is suggefatcd that a track of only two feet wide, or even narrower, with light raila and light one-horse cars, with a driver who wilt also act as a conductor, may pay whore two-horBe cars could not be supported. It is calculated that by this plan the track will cost originally only about one-half as much as tho ordinary gauge; that it will save two-thirds of the expense of paving and repairing, cud that it will dispense with the pay of con? ductors. It will require only one-half the number of horses, and consequently only one-halt the amount of stable-room and feed, while the original cost of the oars will bo much less. The advocates of the new system, with a good show of reason, claim other advantages for the narrow track, which it is said is about to be introduced as au experiment in Troy. IMITATING A GOOD PKECEDENT.-By English law, any one presuming to get on or off a railroad train when in motion is arrested on the spot and fined. The object of the law is three-fold: ?rst, to protect human life, whether tho owner will or no; second, to proteot tho corpo? rations against the rink of being mulcted for damages where they are not in fault; and third, to relieve the public from the annoyance of bars and rails . interposed by the company in their own protection against the possible results of foolhardy acts.

TROUULE IN NEWDERRY.-Exciting ru mora have been in cironlation for aoven days, relative to affairs in Newberry From what we can gather, the followin appears to bo the. Btate of things: ? Sunday night, a party of disguised indi viduals wont to the house of a oolore man, named Yoong, Chairman of tb Board of County Commissioners, an attempted to frighten him-with the ic tontion, ss is supposed, of making hit resign his position. Young fired'upo tho party nnd wounded one of then when the fire was returned-the ball striking the wife and daughter of Yoanf but not seriously injuring them. TL wounded person of tho assailing par! proved to be a man named Watt Faull ner. Sheriff Paysinger being informe of tho affair,, arrested Faulkner an lodged him in jail. Ou Monday nigh the jail was visited by a disguised part; and Deputy Caldwell and another office were taken from their beds and carrie into tho yard; when a messenger arrive and ordered the party to desist. Ti order was obeyed and tho disguised om retired, leaving the two officers ai dish bille. Deputy Caldwell (who arrived i Columbia, yesterday, with a bench wa rant for several colored men) informs i j that Judge Moses released Faulkner c bail. Faulkner was wounded in ti knee, but the wound is not consid?re serious. OUR BOOK TABLE.-"A Life's Ass>z< is a story which it is impossible to rei without the most intense and vivid syi pathy. It is by no means sensational : tho vulgar sonso, though it begins wi and is fonndod upon a trhtl for morde and yet, its main idea ia strikingly dr mutic, nnd its analysis of human erootit subtle and profound. The author bc self calls it "not a novel of stirring in< donts, or of rapid action following upc swift events; but rather the story of oi human being's feelings photograph) even while they were fleeting by."
