??^ ! ? ' SUPPLEMENT TO THE CAMDEN WEEKLY JOURNAL. CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA, SEPTEMBER 6, 1859. A Mistake. CTude Richard is a plain, old-fashioned farmer, ratlicr puritanical in his notions, but witliof an easy, good disposition. Never is lie more pleased than when lie can collect a party >f young folks, and by bis social manners entertain them at the farm-house. Among the exercises of morning devotion he requires every member of his family to repeat from memory a verse of Scripture. it happened, last summer, that a gay party of young people were spending a few weeks at the firm, seeking that enjoyment which in summer the city cannot aiford. Among the visitors was a gay belle, who was courted and admired for her beauty and accomplishment by a large circle ot brainless fops. On the morning after their arrival, as we 7-vr.l- A.1I. nlnnoc in ll..> ! jrf'llrfa-jt TOO 171 ITnC.lf! .Richard inado known the rule by which he co:.dacted his family devotion, and, he said, uhc hoped the visitors would be willing to comply with his request. Besides breaking the monotony of mere reading and prayer, it has a tendency to interest persons, especially the Joung, in those exercises which otherwise might, e dull, it keeps our memory refreshed and having once learned a verse it is not so easily forgotten. Most of the party became interested in the exercise, and repeated some passage without any difficulty, each selecting a verse that was familiar as household-words. When it became Kate Griffith's turn, she blushed, turned pale, and then, as if suddenly inspired, following the example of her companions, she repeated in a clear voice. MA stitch in time saves nine. Sclali." It is needless to say the solemnity of the occasion was broken np and roars of laughter pealed through the qujetmorningair. EvcnUn?ln Ri^lnir/To anlemn vtsacro relaxed into a smile: and after the mirth had subsided, turning to Kate, who knew not what caused the merriment, he said. "Excuse my bluntness, Miss Kate, but I think it would be much more to the credit of a young lady of your abilities, if she should once in a while lay aside her frivolities and spend part of her time, if only a few minutes each day, in reading the Scripture." During the remainder of her visit Kate never foiled to repeat a verse which she had committed to mcmorv; and when she returned to the city, as she bade adieu to Uncle Richard, she said, 'I shall profit by the lesson I have learned under your instruction-shall study the Scripture mnro" ?sr* that if ninf???rl in IiI^<> cirrMimsfnncps ?" "i ? 1 " I . - ; again, I may remember some passage, without oommittiug so great an error as I did 011 the first morning oi my visit." Woverly Magazine. An Extraordinary Young Man.?The Atlanta Intelligencer, in a notice of the son of CoL L. T. Doynl, wIjo was accidentally killed by the discharge of a gun, a few days since, I says: He was born October 25th, 1838. He joined the HaptistChurch, at McDonough, in his 14th year; was soon after elected Clerk of the Church, and discharged his duties satisfactorily, until he removed to Spalding county. lie was admitted to the bar in 1858, but on account of hie quiet disposition preferred farming as an occupation. We heard his father say he had never drank a drop of ardent spirits, smoked a eigar, or swore an oath in his life?did not know one card from another. He leaves a young wife and a sweet babe. Few can present such a record from so youthful an age. Mistakes in Per Centaoe.?Mistakes arc often made, by persons not business men, in calculating per centagc. If a merchant marks his goods for sale at retail at 50 per cent, advance, and 33 1-3 per cent, he afterwards deducted from the marked price, he sells at cost (because 33 1-3 per cent, of 1.50 is exactly 50 cents, the profit marked on ?1.) if he sells goods at 25 per cent, above cost, and deducts k percent, from the hill for cash, his profits are 18 3-4 per cent, and not 20 percent., as somepersons at firet sight would suppose. Goods have been sometimes sold at a loss through mistake in per centagc. Gkkcrous Gists.? A few years before the death of the late Iicv. J as. W. Alexander, of New York, his congregation raised his salary, j from $4,001) to $5,U0(>. He, however, refused j t?? accept the increase, and his charge were j forced to take the money ami make a fund of it, j which they did. At his death this fund amouu-: tod to $1*2,000, and la-t. v. -ek the congr-gation iiiaJy it $25,000, aad gave it to his"famiiy. ?OOn. on T\?.?A consumptive man in l\?rtsuon.h, says %.JtTo:-:blk Argus, who lias used ?f.ay remedies without relief, was ad used to J-e die oil of far, and acted accordingly, lie \s considered a perfectly hopeless case, Lilt j ' tar oil ha cured l.iui completely, lie is hale and hearty. ' The London* Times Office.?Mr. Story, son of one of tlic proprietors of the Rochester Democrat, writes to that paper an account of his visit to the oflicc of the London Times. We copy a portion of his narrative : One of the most interesting and novcldcpart mcnts of the establishment is tliat in which the stereotypic."; process is carried on. You know, perhaps, already, that every number of the Times is printed from stereotype plates, thus saving a great part of the wear and tear of the type. The stereotype plate is taken from the "ibrin" in three minutes, by a new process invented by a Swiss and known only to him. A thin layer of soft and damp papier tnachc first receives the inpression of the type, and after it j has been hardened by the application of beat, | the melted lead is poured on, which is to form the stereotype plate. The papier mache has the power of resiting the action of the melted lead, and comes out of the fiery trial uninjured, and almost unscorched. The plates are rc-mcltcd every day after the issue of the day i? printed from them, and the waste of type metal from day to day is very slight. By this power of multiplying the number of forms from which the same side of the paper can be printed, the Times can use three or four presses at once, and thus print its 59,000 copies, on an emergency, in two hours time. The Times employs in its establishment some 350 persons. It has eighteen reporters at the House of Parliament, and for these, as well as the majority of its compositors, tiie working hours are the night hours exclusively. It owns four cabs, which are employed solely in carrying reporters and reports at night to and fro between Printing llouse Square and the Palace at Westminster. The reporters relieve each other at the Houses every quarter "hour, and thus, though the debate in the Com- j mons lasts till four o'clock in the morning, the j Times irives it in full bv sun-rise- though it i f j . t o "* j cover two whole pages of the journal. ?r~~~ ! Inquest.?Coroner J. Kingman was called | yesterday morning to view the body of Andrew McElroy, who died on U. S. M. steam ship Nashville, now at the Tradd-street wharf, lie shipped as a stoker, from New York, 011 Saturday, as the steamer wjis clearing, and appeared in good health, and was attending t) his duties until 10 o'clock on Monday night, when he was j suddenly prostrated. lie was removed to the j deck, and received all attention from Purser . rnicuaru ana otuer omccrs oi tne i\<isnvur,, who applied mustard and other remedies, hut j without effect. He died about 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning. The Coroner's Jury rendered j a verdict of "Death from extreme exhaustion, j accellerated probably by dlinking iced water.'' j Charleston Courier, Hist iusf. We are informed bv one of our former citizens, who is just from Anderson County, that i the cotton crop of northern and eastern Texas is likely to prove a very short one. This js | owing to a drouth which continued from the j second of May to a week or two since, during j which time there was no general rain, but only ! a few partial showers, which saved the crops of ' only some lew planters. (Jur informant thinks i the yield of all the Counties to the north and > cast of Anderson, will fall short of half a crop j ?many planters will not make even a bale to ' the hand. Farther to the west, ar.dlowerdowti , the County, the crops are better. Galveston News. A Fugitive.?A gentleman of color made his appearance here on Wednesday last, professing to be a runaway servant of Cov. Aiken of South Carolina, and to be in hot haste for Canada, lie received material aid,parteu with the blessing of his friends here, who bade him good speed, as they took an affectionate leave. It has since been ascertained that lie came di rcct irom lveene, where lie had been kicked out 1 of the hotels for being a drunken inuisance. If he is a fugitive, he means to live high while his freedom lasts. He went from here to llarrisville, and was ''tight" before he got there. Peterborough (iV. II.) Transcript. A Magnificent Bequest.?The Eufaula Express says: The late Maj. M. A. Browdcr left, by his! will, the stun of $100,000 to the (Ilennville j Collegiate and Military Institute. The interest ! on this large sum is to be applied to the payment of professors salaries, and the education of poor boys. This is, we boli'Ve,o:jiH>f:he largest ! bctjnests, ever made to any one institution in the country. Maj. Browd-r's name deserves to be handed down to the labs', posterity, and j his memory ever hcM dear by the poor, for 1 whose Leuefit he has made this princely bequest. One lady is reported to have guvii a dinner at Saratoga to twenty friends whrh co.-t $400, and a Mew York Banker pa: I >7.>0 for twentyeight persons. A Southerner, however, surpassed that, he having paid 1,100 for 0113 dinner, the largest private dinner ever given at tlut fashionable l'esort.
