University of South Carolina Libraries
COLUMBIA, S. C. Satur lay Horning, September 2, 1871. South Carolina Educational Institute. The Greenville papers give as ac? counts of the rooeut meeting of this body. A number of prominent teachers attended. In the absence of Capt. Thompson, tbe President, VicoPreei dent Patrick acted as Chairman. Prof. Judson presented an able papor. The institute waa addressed by Dr. Broadas ?nd Bev. Dr. Manly. Mr. B. R. Stuart introduced tbe subject of Behool organi? zation, and tbe debate became general. Charleston was selected for the next meeting, in May next. At this meeting essays will bo snbmitted on various text books. We trust that this institute will move on until it shall exert a marked influonco upon tbe educational interests of the State. Less than a year ago Paris was hum? bled in the dust, and all ber fine drapery was soiled and tumbled; but now, presto! they are beginning to - sot the fashions .gain over there, and correspondents write column articles as of y oro, in which' bewildering mention is made of dresses arid head-dresses, nod parasols and gloves and bonnets, and so on to the end of tho charming category, for all the world as naturally as if no hideous war bad intervened. It is stated, for in-1 stanoe, tbat full dress is to be riob, but quiet, for concerts and tbe opora. At the last Friday night in the Chumps Elysees promenade oonaerts the dresses were glace shot silks, made with flounces and pannier tunics. Tho prevailing abades were ligbt slate, shotted with black, and chestnut with lilao; two dif? ferent greens in the bronze tints are in great demand, and there are two linnet browns, whieh are the soberest of oolors. Blaok, however, reigns. Blaok grena? dines are trimmed with lace; and rich black poult with grenadine plisses. Kb crinoline is worn. ' Train robes are not seen unless at. exceptionally ceremonial recaptions. Flowers are very?argo when worn at all; parasols are large; the deer and doe-Bkin glove is preferred td kid; note-paper is tinted sea-green and almond peel; tbe fall style of bonnets will be very large behind, the shades b?ing dark and rich. The city was a shade more cheerful yesterday. Excitement, whiob had boen at a fever beat for several days, wSs sub? siding, and tho public mind is evidently Battling down to tbe conclusion that it is useless to cry ont before tho body politic 'is hurt. This sensible feeling will be encouraged by tbe official reports, which ?' ?how the slow progress of the fever; It . 'now appears that up to Saturday lust, the 26th ultimo, there , were nine deaths from yellow fover. Three of the nine took place between Augaat 1 and August 19, and the remaining six in the follow? ing week. For the ourrent week tbe .mortality will be 'greater; but it is ' officially stated, that there were on'y thirty-three new cases of fever in tho weok ending on Wednesday nightlaat. This is a very cheering exhibit, os the proportion of deaths to the entire num? ber of patients is steadily decreasing. On yesterday, tbe busy tongue of rumor ooukl conjuro np only two nowcsBes, and .only two (loathe occurred, to our know? ledge, during the day. [Charleston News, 1st. An amusing soene recently occurred ina conrt room in this State. > Judge Orr was trying a very impor? tant caso, and Qon. McGowan was mak? ing a very eloqnont argument in the case, - when one of the colored jurors, unobserved by reason of tho crowd, left the jury box and went out of the conrt house. The Judge observed the juror's vacant scat una immediately sent the constable to arrest the absentoe. When brought in, the juror was asked by bis Honor if he did not know that he ought not to leave his soat while the case was being argued. Tho juror promptly re? sponded: "Well, boss, I was tired a be&rin' that man argufy bore; I madu np my mind long ago, aud I was 'bliged to see old massa' afore be left town." THBFIIAO.-The truly loyal preserver of the Union will talk to yon by the hour about the glories of the 4'old flag," and point to it SB the emblem of peace and forgiveness, and yet these same loyalists are loodand fusty in their demands that the flag shall be placed at every preoinot in the Sooth, with offi? cient bayonet backing to make the "re? bels" vote the loyal ticket. If the "Stars and Stripes" be an emblem of "peace and forgiveness," make it so practically. It is this looking one way and rowing an? other that has prevented a complete re? turn of peaoe to every part of the Union. It is stated os a curions fact that of 26,200 victims of the yellow fever in Baenos Ayres, during the past soason, nine-tenths of the number were men. Tho disease increased in virulence with changes in the weather, from tho ex? posure of the river mud, by a sudden fall in the river, with the stirring of the beds of filth, etc., all showing its de? pendence upon other cannes than per? sonal contagion. Of the 360 gravo-dig gsrs constantly omployed, not one died, thus proving that the grave-yard was the healthiest plano to live in. Indiana bas a bridegroom who paid the minister $1 for marrying bim and stabling his horse all day beside. Hom? Watering Placea. OiiBAVEiiAND SrniNOS, N. C., Aug. 30. Mi DRAB PHCENHC: I have .sean eo, many'letters extolling varions minoral, springs, that E feei jealous (that none have pointed, like Nature, this place, which, though unadorned* is adorned most of all. Oleavelaud Springs are situated C5 miloB West of Charlotte, aud hus railroad oomnini. (Cation to within ten milos of the springs-which is only a healthful jaunt 'id capital vehioles, suited to the rooky 'mountainous roads. Through tickets,- ut .very?j reasonable rates, can boj obtained at Columbia, aud if an excursion could be gotten up, no doubt much oheaper tickets could be ob? tained. We understand an effort is being made to run tbe oars daily from Charlotte to Cherryville. ' At present -the regular days for tbe trains on this road are Tues? day, Thursday and Saturday. Leaving Columbia an the night train, you get a fine breakfast at the Mansion House, have an hour or two to walk round, and leave for Cherryville, nt half-past 8 o'clock. The hack brings you to the springs, where an exoellent dinner is always ready for passengers, be they few or many. Tho hotel and other buildings are built in a grove, which has not been "robbed of free Natu re 'e grace,'' Have by some neat walks and rustic seats ovor tho hillside and/dell. Moro could not be expected of the excellent proprietors, Messrs. Blackwood & Oates, who are only lessees, and have had to build, to sustain and to struggle through difficul? ties and labors, only known to their loss,' But the beauties of the grove, the de* lioious breath of heaven, full of the spirit of health, with its bracing vigor, und the highett of all the culminating excellency of thrco mineral springs, with in fifty yards of each other, certainly should make . Cl?aveland the Sarutogs of tho South. The Wiita Sulphur, whioh tin the order of drinking; i?, by actual tost, the finest sulphur; ?pn'?'g in the'South-Vir? ginia not \ excepted. Twenty ' years ' use bas bot diminished the> virtues of this bold : spring, . Whioh issues vigorously from a covert of!.rock. ' The deposit is very heavy for thrco feet around ' the mouth, ahd a silver dime dropped in.the water will be perfectly blackened in ten minutes. . The Red Sulp/tttr is neifc'in order qf bathing. The bathing bouses, nine in number, are well furnished 'and roomy, and hot, tepid or cold baths accessible at. any hour of the day. Wo need, hot "wallow in mud" to ouro cutaneous af? fections, and the charges are extremely reasonable, SB all the charges are here. After using the ,White Sulphur* for eradicating bile from the system, and our mg dyspepsia-vigorously and- fre? quently employing the Bed Bulphdt baths on the skin-admirable adjuncts the Iron, or Chalybeate Spring comes in as a valuable tonio to .invigorate and strengthen ona for enjoying the delight? ful bowling alley adjacent to it. "Better to baot at springs for health un bought Than foo a doctor for a nauseous draught; 'fha wise, for euro, on exeroiso depend, God nover made his work for man to mond." The ladies and gentlemen roll twp 01 three hours daily-the former beating bj long odds-and one is in fine glow'and spirits after tho exercise. Col. OateB employs a fine band, which gives additional charms to our meals une evenings-annihilating both time enc space. If there wero just a few mort beauxl But tualadios are gay "and hap? py ' without them, and they, doubtless are doing something better. These springs have always been t favorite resort of South Carolinians, ant it almost seems like vanity to boast o: the affable manners of the visitors hero Mrs. Blackwood, herself a charming lovely woman, says these springs hav< over had a reputation for tho good man ners of its visitors. We aro uti an'ont family, aud health and pleasure braal down all formalities whioh interfere witl the full enjoyment of this charming re treat. September is certainly tho most charm ing month of the year to travel, and cor tain ly the one moat un favorable to heult) nb homo; and I hopo many will hasten t< seek the heavenly jewel of health in thi invigorating climate. Husbands woult be happier if they would give their fami lies a few weeks summor recreation, ant duties at homo would appoar lighter fn tho privilege. Fashion does not ml hore, and no replenishing of wardrobe is neoessury to make a trip hero. So como and drink of the healing water freely, at the moderate rato of $12.25 i week for bed and board, music and ton pins, three mineral springs and a dane every evening in a fiuo hull. HEBE. A New York paper remarks, on thi subject of weddings: "Owing to tb fact of making rich and costly present to the bride becoming so general, am also to tbe foot that it is now expeotei of peoplo accepting an invitation to at tend a wadding, that they should briuj presents, the number of regrets has in orensed of lato to an alarming extent To remedy this sad state of things, th oustom is now being introduced in Net York oity of adding to the bottom of in vitations, 'No presonts will be receive? except from relatives.'" At Panola, Indiana, tho other day, boy named Kirk bandied a pistol, an on the samo day, at Gridley, Peter Nafe gar handled a nile. .Neither of thee took any interest in tho subsequent prc Goodings. A lad named Meyor, twolve or foin teen years old, employed in the bar-root of Mr. Henry Kennedy, in Augusto Ga., suddenly foll dead while attondiu to his duties in tho establishment, o Thursday. Thoro are only sovon murderers in th New York Tombs at present, dilbong that lino of business appears lively. Charlotte Railroad? MR. EDITOR: A ?ow dave since, atten? tion was called ia your valanblo journal to .what is: properly termed "Railroad Manoeuvres*'-showing how the stock of, the Charlotte Railroad is being bought np by tho Ponnsylvania Central Road, or : other parties. The stockholders aro evi? dently being imposed Upon. It ia the olear dnty of tho directors of tho road to moot and warn tho stockholders, or to call them together.'with a view Of pre? venting tho sacrifico of - tho-?took. It is worth at least ' 850. perchare,- sud if tho stockholders will refuse to sell for less, thia new railroad ring will have to pay tho valu? of the stock-at 'least $D0 per Mlu.ro. The road will deolare a dividend in October. Let the stockholders be cautious. Tho President und directors have claimed that tho stnok will bring $50 per share at least. Confidential ad? vice to sell at $10 ongbt not to be regard? ed. The ring wants about 5,000 shares moro to got control of the road; to get this amouut they will have to pay what? ever the stockholders will demand in roason. We cauuot prevent rascality; let us, nt least, compel those concerned to pay well before they got control of the road. t his is plain talk, hat it is truth. The ring must go ou; they cannot stop now. Fix rx reasonable price for thu ?took, and they will come up to your mark. Don't sell below $50. ? -_?--.-;-i SHIPPING CrnKB BY RAILROAD.-So mo wooka since - allusion was made in the Chicago papers to tho inauguration iu that city of a new enterprise on a large scale-the building of ready- nando houses for Bbipuieut to tho sparsely-settled dis? tricts Of tha interior, where skill?iL J?bor is -seance - and the facilities for house? building meagre. It now appears from tho Chicago papera that the enterpriser has proved ara immene? success. - The Tribune of a late date' contai ON the fol? lowing: . I "In visiting tho new harbor at South Chicago, we noticed three .cars'of the UnionTnoiflc Railroad Company loaded ,with four'compl?te two-story 'dwellings, containing eeven rooms each, with.par? titions, stairs, doors, windows,-sash nod casing, roofs, and trimmings for doora 1 and windows completed, aud whioh eau be placed in complete condition for occupancy in two hours after being un-1 loaded from the cara. This is the first shipment of an order for two hundred dwellings girou to tho South Chicago. Building Company. The buildings are ?onsti noted under tho patent and direc? tion of j Mr.. D. .3. Wettenhall, and will bo furnished in avery variety, and at prices that give them attraction and merit over any other buildings now used far the accommodation of population in new localities." THE POWDER EXPLOSION IN GREECE MORE THAN 100 PERSONS KILLED OR IN? JURED.-Advices from Greece report ad? ditional particulars of tho terrible explo? sion of powder mills at Lamia, near Athens. Daring a severe rain storm, the mills were struck by lightning, caus? ing a frightful explosion, the concussion of whioh was heard for mauy miles in every direction. Over 100 parsons em? ployed at the mills were killed or wound? ed, besides many women and children living in tho vicinity. The terrilfio con? cussion so affrighted tho inhabitants ns to catiBO almost a complete abandonment of tho town, the people fleeing for safety in all directions. Tho destruction to property ie immense, the loss hoing esti? mated at ?500,000. .' . ?I It is asserted that y ho train-boy who* was thrown tto the . ground by striking his feet against a switch-target whilo swinging his body out of tho, door of a baggage car going ut full speed, on tho Bonton and Maine Railroad, was thrown twenty-five feet before hu landed, aud then bounded twenty-five feet more, by actual measurement, and this time hita fence and knocked off a board. Tho next day ho was on duty, as lively as over. IN POCND.-Three of Oran t's horses strayed abroad iu Washington, Friday, "and wero put in tho pound. Tho groom of thu imperial stud tried to ind tics the pouud-mastor to deliver up tho uuimalH on tho dead-head principle, but tho of? ficial wau inexorable, and the adminis? tration was mulcted $6. Tho World adds: "Subscription lists at tho custom ho uno are now in order." A little boy in Yorkvillo, Canada, came to his death u. few days ugo under most singular cironmptouoos. He was oue ol a party of children who wero playing to? gether, and kissed uno of the iittio girls. This BO enraged another little girl that, in a fit of what may bo called jealousy, she struck him with a stick, inflicting an injury from which he died in a fow hours. PAST TIMK.-Tho Macon, Gs., train, Suuday afternoon, having been detained some fifteen minutes, says tho ColumbaH Sun, made quiok work of tho distonco between this city and Scbatulga, a dis? tance of niuo miles. It was accom? plished in Huven minutes. How is that for fast? Now Jersey boat-builders meroly lay the planks on to the timbers, and gut inside. The mosquitoes run their sharp bills through and the men inside rivet them. No bolts are needed. Sovernl men were recently poisoned in Nevada by drinking from n Bpriug whoso waters appeared perfectly clear. Ana? lysis showed that they woro strongly im? pregnated with arsenic. Josh Billings says ns ho has boon nt Long Branch for a fow wooka, Hporting iu the water, ho thought ho would go to Saratoga and let tho water Bport io him, for a change. The Rochester Union tells us that "Olive Logau says she is about thirty two yearn old." Yes that is about lier ago. Wo remember hearing her say so in 1827," says anotkor odttor. SnoOKtHO K.E110HENI? ACCIDENT TUBBO PBRBONS ROASTED ALIVE.-The AJtoona (Pa. ) Tribune records tho follow? ing tragic incident which ocoarred pear Kittaning Point,-a few days ago: Mrs. Brown, eldest duughter of Jo flopb Mc?arry, "with three sisers-two of them young women and the other half-grown-and a little brother, wore together in a room on tho first floor of the house, when Mrs. Brown proceeded to AU a kerosene lamp with oil. Al? though the wick of the lamp had beon 'extinguished, and -tho only light io-tho room was Bomo distance off, the oil can, containing nearly a- half gallon -of oil, together with the. lamp, suddenly c.v. ploded, saturating the clothes' of Mrs. Brown and her youngest sister, who was standing by ber side, with tho fluid! which ignited and enveloped them in flames. Tho li ti lo girl was picked np byan elder sister, who carried her out ot the house, laid ber down on the grass and attempted to tear tho clothes from ber person, but before sbo succeeded in do? ing so, tho flames hud done their work po the hoad aud body of the little un? fortunate. She lived but a few hour? niter tho accident. Tho sister who car? ried ber out wns quite severely burned on the bauds and arms in her endeavors to tear nway tho burning clothing. When Mrs. Brown's clothing took fire she ran-up stairs to her husband, wuo liad retired. Ho sprung from his bud, seized a comfort aud throw it about ber. Tho comfort caught firo, and for a time added to the flames. Mrs. B. fell in sensible- to tho floor, where she laid until all her clothing waa burned .away and hor flesh l.terally roasted on ber bones. Mr. Brown was so badly burucd in bis titi um pt to 'smother tho ll? mes, and so suffocated by the smoke, that he could render her n>~? nssistanoa after she fell. She died in three hours after. Mr. Brown survived for two.days Tho little boy was severely burned, but succeeded in escaping serious injury, and with re niarkablo presence of mind, amidst nil the confusion, extinguished the fire, which bad communicated to the window casing and willi paper, by dashing water upon it. Peculation and corruption have reached suoh a pitch on- tho New York horso curs, that il ia said ab honest mau cannot serve as conductor. It be attempts it, [the driver will not seo passengers want? ing to'rid jo, and will follow other cars so [ closely that few fares will bs taken. The Hystem of robbery and division of ppoils extend through all the subordinates be? low the superintendent. A conductor is expected to "ku?ck-down" about S5 per day, which ho must divide with tho "spotter," driver and others. As a Richmond young lady was stand? ing talking with a young gentleman in the street, on Sunday morning, her dress suddenly burst into a blaze. Tho gen? tleman took off his ooat and throw it around ber. and thus saved ber life. Thus did one spark provent the evil re? sults of another. DEATH OP A SOOTH CAKOLrsiAN IN FLORIDA.-Mr. Jos.
