CQLUMBEi,! 6. C. Saturday Morning, May 31, 1873. 1 j Gen. Datier paid eomo $300.000, seve . ral weeks since, for 300 acres of land lying on the Northern limits of Wash? ington city. Real estate men wondered, and said that the shrewd Benjamin had for onoe been o vor-reached in a trade. A Washington special to thu Cincinnati Commercial says that it has transpired that the commissioners appointed by Oongrese to eeleot a site for a new Presi? dential mansion, have determined to re commend the purchase of this very tract. Butler is donbtless overwhelmed with astonishment at this intelligence. The shook to bis nervous system will, wo fear, utterly prostrate him. A Bite for a Presidential mansion is good for $10,000 .per aore. As Butler has stumbled on this piece of good look, let him be mag? nanimous and divide with the commis? sioners. They don't expeot anything of the sort, wo know,but it is beat to be magnanimous. The people owe a large debt of gratitude to the father of the baqk-pay grab, and will rejoice to hear of Butler's accidental and wholly unex? pected land spooutatiou.: Truly is it bet? ter to be born lucky than ;with a set of gold spoons in one's mouth. -^wv-1 That wae a tremendous hurricane which caught up a flock of sheep in Iowa t'other day and whirled them high up in the air nntil they looked "like a flock of pigeon*." After riding in that style through the rain, like so many witches boetriding broomsticks, the poor animals -'got as wet as a lot of hydraulic rams. Some of the papers didn't believe much of the story nntil they remembered the -Modoo Associated Press Agent at San Franaisao has a "Brother Sam" out in -Iowa following the same trade. "Brother Sam" is the greatest wool-raiser living. Such reporters Bhould be encouraged. They are equally at home on tho lava beds of the far West, or when "thoy ride the whirlwind and direct the storm." ? Bather Rough on the G. A. R. ? Don Fiatt gets off in the Capital a good thing on the Grand Army bigots who forbade any floral tributes ou decoration day to the Confederate dead . buriod at Arling? ton, by informing them of the unques? tionable fact that fully twenty-five per dull, uf i'uuuu why wero buried thore as Union soldiers, and who wore ho? nored by the Grand Army fellows on the 30th instant, are deceased ex-Confedo rate soldiers, whose bodies the contract? ors pioked up and. buried under their oontraot at so much per head. ? The Bobnikq of Columbia.?The fol? lowing extracts from the depositions taken by Messrs. Walker ?fc Baoot, in a case now pending before the Mixed Claims Commission, leave very little room for doubting who is responsible for the burning of Columbia: Mr. John B. Niernsee, the architect who designed the State Houso in Colum? bia, testifies as follows: "I was a resi? dent of Columbia ou the 17th of Febru? ary, 1865, and on the evening of that day I met Captain Bitner, of the Sevcnty seventh Illinois Begiment. I saw rock? ets going up, and asked him the moan? ing of it. He drew mo aside, so my wife could not hear it, and said, 'Major, this is the signal for the burning of your city.' The brigade that set tire to the town marched past my house with the implements in their possession for set? ting fire." Mrs. Rachel Susan Cheves, widow of the late John R. Cheves, testifies as fol? lows: I resided in Savannah, Qu., at the time of the occupation of said city by the forces of the United States, under Gen. Sherman, in the winter of 1864 and 1865. I was warned by two officers of Gen. Sherman's stuff, Col. Poe and Maj. Dayton, not to go to Columbia, as they intended to burn it. I think his words were that thoy would pass through South Carolina with the torch as well as the sword. Those officers were quartered with me. I had asked to be possod through the lines in a flag of truce bout. They warned me, as an aot of kindness, not to go, as they intended to burn every town through which Ihey passed in South Carolina. I told them I intended to go to Columbia, and they said I had better stay where I was, as Sherman in? tended to burn Columbia. This testimony is corroborated by that of Mrs. Langdon Cheves, who was pro sent when the conversation referred to took plaoe. Mrs. Anna W. Barclay, the wife of the late British Consul at New York, testifies that she was at the house of Miss Tel fair, in Savannah, in Deoember, 1864, and heard Gen. Sherman, in a conversa? tion, refer to the oity of Columbia. Gen. Sherman remarked, that bis course through Georgia had been marked by flro, and that through South Carolina it should be marked by fire and blood, and in bis own words, "As to that hot-bed of secession, Columbia, I shall lay it in ashes." Upon the expression of horror and regret of some person present, he repeated his assertion, "Columbia shall be burnt." "The lawyers of Atlanta have had a pio-nio at Stone Mountain." It is possi? ble, that having pioked everything in Atlanta, they resorted to a place where even a lawyer oould find nothing to piok but stones. Duo !>? Biioata?.?The following brief history of Duo de Broglie, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the Oabloefr of the new Go*turnout of Ffjpuoo,'under Pre? sident MaoMaho'o, we take from tho New York'fleraW.- | The prosent Duo de Broglie, who has been offered the portefeuille of Foreign Affaire, was born in 1785. Hin father was guillotined during the first revolu tion iu the dark days of 1793. During the n<ign of Napoleon I he was an Audi? tor in the Department of the Oounoil of State. TheEmpevor offered him several small missions, uud ho was also engaged iu tho drafting of ono of the numerous treaties of peace which were made by Napoleon I. The Duo do Broglie never liked the first Emperor, however, aud readily attaohed himself to tho now government of the restoration. Ho was named to several embassies by Louis XVIII in 1814, aud followed his fortunes when he went into exile tho seoond timo. On the return to France, after tiie final overthrow of Napoleon, De Broglie was petted by the King, and agaiu received several foreign missions. In 1830 the TVtVo nrao marin fl> peer nnd took hin RAat in that body. After the overthrow of Oharies X, in the revolution of July, Loots PhiUippe, the. new King, offered Do Broglie the parte feuille of Minister of Public Instruction. In 1831 the Duke de Broglie joined hands with Thiers in defending hereditary titles, aud subse? quently formed, with Thiers, Guizot aud Gerard; the longest ? ministry which ex? isted under the rule of Louis PhiUippe, De Broglie having the port-folio of Fo? reign Affairs. Abont this time he made the 'first treaty with England haviue reference to the slavo trade, aud it was mutually agreed between the two powers to give the right'of visitation of sus? pected slavers. , At length dissensions broke out in the Cabinet between Thiers and Guizot, dis? sensions whioh it seemed could nut be reconciled, and at length the King, tired of the continued wrangles between these two statesmen, appointed tho Diiko de Broglie to draw up a new Cabinet, which he did, and was then appoiuiuu Presi? dent of the Council of State in 1831. While iu this position, ho drew up the severe laws against the liberty of the press, but he was spared the main onus of the work, owing to tho fact that Thiers embraced the proposed law so euthusi astioaUy that the main blame of the fl-ir ry rested on Thiers' shoulders. When the revolution of 1848 came, Do Broglie retired, and appeared again in the French Chamber as a Deputy from tho Depart? ment of Eure in 1851. Ho appeared to get a revision of a plan of a constitutiou so as to abolish tho republic and make way for the return of tho oitizen king, when the coup d'etat was sprung, which defeated all his projects. Iu 1855 ho was elected to the French Academy, and it was'said to be more a political election than aught else. In his speech ho made his last defence of tho dethroned kiug, and after that retired from politics. In 1331 bis house was searched by the Pre? fect of Paris for forbidden books. He was subsequently appointed Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. After the over? throw of Napoleon ho took up with poli? tics, and after the Commune was ap? pointed Ambassador to London. Re? cently, in the French Assembly, he was President of the Committee of Thirty, and a bitter opponent of President Thiers. He now returns to the positiou ho held so mauy years ago. The Roll op Chief Justices ?It is noticed, iu couneotiou with the death of Chief Justice Chase, that no man has been promoted direotiy from Associate to Chief Justioo of the Supremo Court. The first Chief Justice was John Jay. Whilst he was Chief Justice, he accepted the mission to England, and held both offices for u year. On his roturn from England, he vacated both office i and be? came Governor of New York. Joho Rutledge, of South Carolina, who hud been an Associate Justice iu his own State, was nominated to the Chief Just? iceship by President Washington, but r< jeoted by the Sonata. The next Chief Justice was Oliver Ellsworth, of Cod uuoticut, aud a Senator from that State ut the time of Jus appointment. He presided in the Supremo Court less tbau a year, and then, without resigning, ac? cepted the French mission, aud hold both offices until the negotiation of the Freuch treaty, when he resigned both. John Marshall, of Virginia, who was then Secretary of State, was appointed by President Adams Chief Justice iu January, 1801. Ho remained in the Cabinet until the close of President Adams' administration, iu Maroh of the same year, when he took his seat ou the bench and filled the position of Chief Justice till his death, in 183C. President Jaoksou appoiutod Robert B. Taooy as his successor, and he filled the position until his death, in 1864, when Mr. Chase, then Secretary of the Treasury, was ap? pointed by Mr. Lincoln. Although Mr. Chase's iuonmbeuoy extouded through only eight years, he occupied the posi? tion longer than any other of the Chief Justices, except Marshall aud Tuney, whose joint terms extended through sixty-four years. A Washington letter says: "The late obango in the French Government has canned somewhat of a fluttering in that legation iu this city. Tho Marquis de Noalles, the French Minister here, is said to be one of the most devoted of ad? herents of Thiers, and his relations to that statesman are such as, it is thought, will induce his recall by the MaoMuhon administration. In diplomatic, oiroles, however, those versed iu French politics think it not improbable that there will be another change in the Govornmeut before long." $30,000.?

' Years ago," tho sparkwhich kindled this fltme Originated ?3 Ph;la<!ilphia, and It came about in this way: The City of Brotherly Love was bleesed with" 1? very wealthy citizen, who died one day and bequeathed a large fortune to hie son. Now, the young man adored che? mistry, and realized the intimate rela? tions that exist between the cultivation of the soil and his favorito study, and in his euthusiasm ho determined to start on a lecturing tour to the farmers of the West. In the meantime, he applied to William Sanndwrs, Esq.. the founder of tho Patrons of Husbandry, who was tbeu tbo editor of a horticultural journal, to ascertain by what means he oould call an audience of agriculturists. Mr, Baunders told him there was no way to bring ibese widely-scattered men together. Living long distances opart, removed from the railroads and printing offices, they were as inaccessible as Selkirk on Juan Fer? nandez. From that hour Mr. Saunders bent every energy to develop a plan by which the husbandmen might become powerful by onion. He saw the iron and steel men; alio the sewing machine and railroad men strong as their own iron ahd steel, and he Bald: "We must fight Batan with his own weapons. The poor farmer is like the single skirmisher ?brought down by thefirst sharp-shoot? er of the enemy. Let. us advanoe as au army." So far their blows have fallen heaviest on what are called the "middle men." Iowa, who leads the van, last year saved ?3450,000 ;n her purchases of agricultural implements. By means of this urder the farmer bought direct from tho manufacturer, while the middlu man or agent had to step aside. Ia the fall or early winter of 1867 a small koot of thinking men combined in the office of the Superintendent of the Agricultural Grounds in Washington, and at this meeting a part of the ritual wan formed.

Members of tho National Grange who have se'rved one year therein may bo come members of this degree upon ap? plication and election. It shall have charge of the secret work of the order, and shall be a court of impeachment of all officers of the National Grange. Members of this degree are honorary members of the National Grange, and are eligible to office therein, but are not entitled to vote. During tho year 1872, new granges wore formed to tho number of 1,105, and sinoe the order was introduced, thcro have been issued for gratuitous distribution 1,755,000 sheets of printed matter, and not a single sheet has been franked since tho order wns started, and there is not a State or Territory where tho order is not known. In regard to the standing of the States, Iowa stands first, and South Carolina next. There have been printed and gratui? tously distributed during the year, by the National Grange. 514,500 Bryan fund publications (4 to 8 pp. pamphlets;) 20,000 manuals, bound in cloth; 25,100 circulars; 72,400 blanks; 7,800 keys to manuals; aud 30,000 constitutions. Tho ceremonies oonneotod with the HOSHion of a grange are extremely poetic and beautiful. On a remote platform in tho hall where the meeting is held may be seen the three women whose charm? ing hands mutt conseorate the new as? pirant. Tho first is Flora, named from mythology. Her brow is bound with flowers, and if the proper soason is at hand, thoy trail in garlands from her garments, which are as fleecy as the clouds. From the profusion before, hor, she selects a spooimon and presents it to the new accession. To the innocent young girl, she presents a lily. To tbo juice I ess old bachelor, a sprig of rue. The woman who represents Ceres is usually a matron. Hor ripe forehead is surmounted with a crown of straw, which is dotted with a golden grain. Sho bestows upon the candidate a hand? ful of her treasures, or, perhaps, an ear of corn, after her part of the oeremony is over. Last, but not least, comes Po? mona, symbolic of the riches of harvest and autumn. A glorious woman she should be. When the oaudidate has passed her bands, nothing more can be done for him. He is a full-fledged Patron of Husbandry. The important question oomes up in tho business order of the grange of this kind, "Is any member siok or in distress?" This is a specimen of some of tbe items. As tho meeting is about to adjourn, the Worthy Master says: "As we are again to separate and mingle once more with the world, let us not forget the precepts of our order. Lot us aim to add dignity to labor. Ia our dealings with our fellow-citizens, let us be honest. Be just and fear not. Avoid intemperance in eating and drink? ing and language; also, in work and recreation. Whatever yon attempt to do, strive to do it well. Let us be quiet, peaceful oitizens. Feed the hungry, help the fatherless and the widows, and keep ourselves unspottod from the world." We will suppose this grange to be as? sembled* in Illinois. In the meantime, some farmer sharper than the rest baa fbond out that;mieohief M*brewfbg in . Chicago, in the ahapg of ? "corner in grain." Instantly, fttnds ftre T?ed tef Bead A trusty man to tho scene of Action to report the doings of the sharpers. The farmer then is advised whether to keep or sell his bard earned treasures. At present, the grange agents aro every? where; they are slaughtering the "mid? dle-men" by tens of thousands*. If a poor woman wants a sowing machine, she applies to her grange. This almost perfect organization is sweeping over our vast territory, iu comparison to all other orders, like tho movement of a tornado or prairie Qro. Its accessions of membership aro estimated at the rate of from 300 to 500 per day. ["Olivia's" Loiter to Philadelphia Press. "A shell in the Radioal Oami\"? Mr. s. B.

It is notice? able that in all tho affidavits, the dates on which the embezzlements are alleged to have taken place aro left blank, and this faot, together with the circumstance that the warrants are all issued by the Hume officer and drawn with a uniformity that looks like a business transaction, would seem to indicate that somebody was making a concerted and organized attack opou the man who throw tho shell into the Radical camp.

Chase's Desiue for tue Presidency:. ?Salmon P. Chase lived, says the Min? neapolis Tribune, to light for the nomi? nation for President in 18G1, and to miss it; to grow sour, bitter, cynical, revenge? ful; to bate his party and despise his country for what he considered a wanton disregard of hia rights. We speak by the card. The editor of the Tribune well remembers tho details of an interview bo tweeu Mr. Chase and a prominent Se? nator, in tho summer of 1861, in tho Se? cretary's room of the Treasury Depart? ment. "You will have auother ohance in 1863," suggested the Senator, to allay his resentment. "You will be suro to be nominated then." "No," said Mr. Chase, savagely; "the American people axe fools, air?fools! They don't know bow to manago their own affairs. They havo no idea what is for the best! Learning, ex? perience, acquirements are nothing to them. They prefer a man who has neither." Again the Senator strove to soothe him, but iu vain; and finally, as a last frantio resort, reminded him that the Presidency was nothing after all; that his great personal worth aud achievements had already given him a lofty place in the love aud regard of his countrymen. Again the Secretary broke out: "No, sir! No, sir I They care nothing for me?nothing 1 What I may have done is of no consequence to them. I shall be forgotten by them, sir, a week after I am dead!" United Status Coort, Charleston, May 29.? The petition of Thomas White sides, of York, for voluntary bank? ruptcy, was referred to Registrar Claw s?n. Iu tho matter of the Blno Ridge Rail? road Company, it was ordered, on hear? ing tho returu to a rule issued against the United States Marshal, that the original indenture between tho said road and M. King bo delivered to W. H. Tre soott, F. S. Jacobs aud W. B. Qulick, Trustees. The petition of Jetso E. Dent, of Co? lumbia, for final discharge in bank? ruptcy, was referred to Registrar Jaeger, to report thereon on the 29th of Juno. Ou tho petition of Heury A. Cohen, a rulo was issued agaiust Mrs. C. A. Stack ley, compelling her to show cause ou the 2d proximo why she should not bo de? clared a bankrupt. A correspondent says: "I caused two advertisements to bo inserted in tho papers for a house-keeper; one was for a lady who should not only be compe? tent for such an office, but qualified also for a companion, and bo n woman of education and elegant manners; the other required nothing of this; it only required ns a sine qua non that tho ap? plicant should be ugly. Iu answer to tho former advertisement I was over? whelmed with letters from so many ao oompliBhed, olegaut ladies, that I con? gratulate both tho present ago aud my oouutry ou possessing so much female excellence. But (would you believo it?) to tho latter I received not a single re? ply; and I have since, more than once, inserted tho same advertisement with ex? actly the same success." A recent learned writer contends that tho dead should bo burned instead of buriod, as iu some countries the land is too valuablo to bo devoted to burial pur? poses. There is somo senso in this. Wo know a good many people who are not worth tho soil it would take to bury thorn, no matter how ohoap it might bo. But then, we don't know them person? ally.

An unkind word, let thoughtlessly at largo will become the seed of thousands. The first thing for a child to learn is to restrain unkind words. The method by which it shall bo taught to do so is a pro? found training agaiust the indulgence of unkind thoughts. If these prevail, they will have expression in words. Henoe, safety lies in their total proscription. Chain the mind to goodness and truth, not only that it may booome healthy and strong, but that it may partake delights which liberty and license will not afford. For in that healthy restraint, whioh a sonso of some higher wisdom and power makes indispensable to man, lies the 'only perfeot freedom. They alone who exalt themselves over the law and the truth will find freedom in indulgence, and in moderation, constraint. But the gentle and wise will act kindly, and speak kind words, as the outflowings of tbeir gentleness and tho expressions of their wisdom; and no bitter harvests will oome in the antnmn of their lives. ki The i jppdi, paofee/s!. ?

A Voice from the North-west.?A Minnesota "Soldier," who cannot recon? cile himself to the idea that on decora? tion day, "loyalty bhall be put on an equality with treason, by any one being permitted to place a flower on the grave of a rebel," is handsomely rebuked\by "Another Soldier," whose letter ia print? ed in the St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer, of May 23. In this letter, he aska "Sol? dier" whether he would kneel at the same altar with a rebel, and say, forgive us our. trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. If "Soldier" an? swers in the affirmative, "does be not put loyalty and treason on an equality?" ii he answers in the negative, he proves himself "too cowardly to express his sectimonta in the faoe of true men," and "base enough to make war on dead men." "Another Soldier" also asks whether the "superlatively loyal" "Sol? dier," if placed with a rebel on the right band of God, would steal the throne, return to earth, and run for Congress on the strength of his loyalty. In conclu? sion, he says that spite and hatred are unbecoming in any man "who bore a brave part in a war against a brave and valorous foe," and advises "Soldier" to devote his energies to the cultivation of peace and good-will. Oriqin of the "Printer's Devil."? When Aldus Manntins set op iu business as a printer in Venice, ho oame in pos? session of a little negro' boy. This boy was known over the' city as "tho little black devil," who assisted the mysteri? ous bibliofaotor; and some of the most ignorant people believed none other than Satan, who helped Aldus in the prosecu? tion of his profession. One day, Ma nutins, desirous to dispel this strange hallucination by publicity, displayed the young "imp" to the proper classes. Upon this occasion he made this short but characteristic speech: "Be it known to Venioe, that I, Aldos Manntins, print? er to the Holy Choroh and Doge, have, this day made public exposure of the printer's devil I All those who thinkhe is not flesh aud blood may come and pinch him." The new Catholic Oathedral in New York, on Fifth avenue, between Fifty flrst and Fifty-second streets, when finished, will be, it is said, the finest eo clesiastioal edifice in the country. The corner stone was laid in 1858, but for several years after the breaking out of the war work was suspended, and has since been oontinued at intervals. Its total cost will be over $2,000,000.
