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.

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,

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.

scale-the building of ready- nando houses
for Bbipuieut to tho sparsely-settled dis?
tricts Of tha interior, where skill?iL J?bor

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?

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,
