Proipectui of'Th? ProareaalTc Age."
The undersigned proposes to publish,
in the town of Newberry, S. C, about
the 1st of February, a weekly newspaper,
bearing the title of The Progressive Age.
The limits .of a prospectus do not ad?
mit of a minute delineation of all tho
features of the' contemplated jourual.
It will be sufficient to-indicate its gene?
ral oharaoter. The character of The
.Progressive.Age will be a nevfrjajgdsjft iu
the widest- meaning of the term; om
braoing within its columns-all informa?
tion useful and instructive to the public
In politic.?, it will be Liberal and Con
: servative, while the most strenuous
efforts will be used in the dissemination
of important political intelligence. On
all subjects, its opinions will be advanood
boldly and fearlessly. Its best energies,
regardless of personal interests or party
predilections, shall he dovotod to the
right of every man to his own political
views, and to the free and uutrammeled
exercise of his suffrage, as well as his
opinions and speech, provided they do not
conflict with tho general welfare, peace
and happiness of society.
No measure of reform will be advo?
cated Bimply because it is new, aud no
error iu policy will bo sustained, though
it may have the sanction and approval of
long-established usvge.
The commercial, agricultural and ma?
nufacturing interests of the State shall
receive that attention whioh their im?
portance demands. The Progressive \
Age will contribute ita mite to tho deve?
lopment of her immense resourcos, and
to foster tho arts and sciences which
minister to tho well-being of hor people.
It shall be insisted, too, that Newberry,
where we have located, shall partako of
tho general prosperity, with no attempt
to disparage the loool advantages of
other towns and seotions.
In a literary point of view, and as a
family paper, its manager will endeavor
to make the selections wholesome nnd
agreeable to young and old, and while ho
may not bo able to give you oleographs
and varnished chromos as inducements
for subscriptions, he will promise to fur?
nish yon through its columns with tho
unvarnished chromo of truth.

and domestic, will be carefully reported.
For this end the telegraph nod all other
measures within the reach of tho under?
signed shall be laid under contribution.

A, pair OF LaVENDBR BRIDES?E?
PorkiuB, of the New Jork ' Oomtneivial
Advertiser, is "on the wing." He
stopped at Homer the other morning for
breakfast. Rod hftd the good fortune to
meet a "quartette bridal party," of which
ha thus disooorses:
This morning, at the Syracuse House,
I breakfasted with a pair of brides and a
pair of bridegrooms?a eort of bridal
quartette. They were from Cortland, I
think, in the country. I knew they
were just married, from a variety of
reasons. First, when they alighted from
tho omnibos to enter the hotel both
yonng ladies took the arms of the gen?
tlemen, who said, "Dear, let me oarry
your satchel." Just behind them eame
some old marriod people. I knew they
had been married some time, for the
men pounced out, starting, luggage in
hand, straight for the hotel, leaving
their wives with small satchels to follow,
singlo file, behind them. At breakfast
the brides appeared in bridal lavender.
Everything waa lavender?lavender
dresses, lavender hats, with lavender
strings, and lavender gloves. If ever I
get married Mrs. Perkins shall wear (if
she pleases) a suit of plain blaek, and
theu wo oan enjoy our honeymoon in
peace. The young uusbuuds both wore
broadcloth suits aud black huts. Both
wore papor collars aud ouffs, and one
wore a paper shirt bosom. Alas! what
a shook Buch deception must be to a
young and guileless wife! Why, in my
opinion, a paper collar is no more indi?
cation of a real Bbirt than a clothes-line.
At breakfast these yonng husbands
didn't help themselves first when they
sat down at the table, butthoy turned to
the brides in lavender, and said lovingly:
"Have a roll, dear?'* Then they put
some butter on tho lavender brides'
plates, and they looked up and said:
"Thank you, dear," with a smile too
happy to describe. When breakfast was
over one of the bound hasbands smiled
sweetly and said:
"Now, darling, can't I smoke just
ouoe?yon know you said I might."
"Yes, Charley, jast ouoe!" and then
the two brides stood nod looked vnoautly
out of tbo windows till their sweet-hearts
came back.
When the old married people sat down
there was a different scene. The old fel?
lows scooped in their beefsteak and
sausage, never looking up io see how
their wives wero getting along, and when
they got through they shuffled off into
the reading room and loaded np meer?
schaum pipes with the strongest caven?
dish. Then they talked politics, ex?
pectorating on the stove and around the
zinc stove mat, wibhoutonco thinking of
their poor wives, who were left to
amuse themselves with neighborhood
gossip.
Death-Bed Scenes ?Moat persons
seem anxious to know if they are going
to die?not beoauso they wish to make
physical preparations, but that they may
arrange their material affairs, give final
directions for the disposal of their effects
or their remains. Again aud again have
I been asked by tho wasted wretches in
prison, "Do yon think I am a gone case,
dootor? I'm not afraid to die, but I
want to know."
I have found, particularly at Salis?
bury, that material comfort is the thing
longed for by the dying. In their last
hour, men and women want physical
rest and ease above anght else, and I
know instances in which the replies of
persons near their dissolution were in
such sharp contrast to inquiries made of
them as to become positively grotesque.
I was present when an acquaintance,
having been struck down in tho streets
by a fulling chimney, was carried home
in a dying state. As soon as ho had re?
covered consciousness, his wife, half
frautio with terror, leaned over the eofa
on which he lay, and said, "Oh, my
darling, do you really love me?" The
response was, "Yes, if you will pull off
my boots;" and these wore his last words.
A gentleman, long ill of a wasting fever,
had reached that condition of rest which
generally heralds the great transforma?
tion. His betrothed, who had devotedly
nursed him, said: "Dearest, do you die
happy?" "I should," was tho answer,
"if that infernal fly wouldn't bother
me;" and spoke no more. "Wouldn't
you like to see your father?" inquired a
doting mother of her only sou, as his
life was ebbing faBt. "Of courso, 1
should; but I'd rather have my face
washed." Such words, apparently harsh
and unfeeling, corns from persons of
natural sensibility ami tenderness, bo
cause in their dying hour the dofdre for
material comfort often crowds out every
othor consideration.?Junius Henri

There is on exhibition at tho medical do
pot of Dr. P. M. Cohen. a largo and
handsomo oil painting, executed by his
sod, Lawrence L. Cohen, a native
Charlcstonian, now residing in Texas.
To this painting was awarded tho first
prize, so m j weeks ago, at the State Fair
held at Houston, it being pronounced the
beat historical piece there exhibited. It
represents Gen. Leo at the battlo of the
Wilderness?portraying with true artistio
fidelity tho most teaching incident of
tho battlo. Gen. Lee is in tho act of
urging his charger ouward to tho front,
where shells and bu?nts fall liko louden
hail, and his gallant men have thrown
themselves across his path to snvo him
from almost certain destruction. There
are, in all, tweuty-fivo figures, including
tho body of a noblo youug soldier, which
lies in the foreground. Tho expression
of fearless detei munition in tbo counte?
nance of tho undaunted chieftain, und
of anxious and loving solicitude in the
faces of hin followers, are high triumphs
of art. ? Charleston News.
