If silver coinage is suspended Senator Pngh believes "we w?T have no God but gold and no Kings but Nattanal banks._ John Conboy a prominent and wealthy citizen of Charleston, shot and killed himself while insane in that city on Sunday._ The New York Sun thinks "It is a great thing for a young woman to know Greek, and a much greater thing for her to be well married." Senator Zebulon B. Vance, ol North Carolina, has the courage of his convictions. He beiieves the reform of the civil service a humbug. One hears a great deal nowadays about rings and counter rings. As a rule, it is safe to watch those who blow the most and" the loudest about these political combinations. Afteb the freeze?the freshet.

If there is a ring any where about this we'll knock it into a cocked hat. The Imaginary rim; must be crushed._ Gen. Logan has not yet introduced a. bill to pension all Republicans who supported him for the Presidency, or who may hereafter support him, but there is little doubt that he thinks the giving of such a reward is as little as the country could do for such patriots. The Times and Democrat is now a permanent fixture in Orangeburg County. Notwithstanding the bitter hostility that has been manifested to this paper from certain quarters, it has steadily moved onward and upward, un til to-day it can bid defiance to its ene mies and dare them do their worse. Every once in a wnile the old charge is rehashed ngainst us that we are pub lishing a ring organ. We do not deny the charge. Wc have formed a ring with our employees to publish the best and cheapest country paper 111 the State, and we take pleasure in saying that we have about accomplished the object for which the ring was formed. The actiion of the penitentiary au thorities in leasing farms near Columbia will certainly be approved by the peo ple. The labor of the convicts can be utilized on these farms under the direct control and supervision of the peniten tiary officials, and their human treat ment will thereby be insured. Besides giving them employment, it will de crease the number within the walls, which is highly necessary under its present overcrowded condition. Com fortable houses will be erected on these farms as soon as possible, for the use of the convicts. The planters of several counties in Alabama are said to be in such financial distress that they are appealing to the Legislature to relieve them by the un constitutional, but sometimes tempo rarily effective, expedient of a stay law. They say their condition is due to the short cotton crop and the extremely low price of the staple, and they assert that if their property is sold at forced sale it will bring very little, and that while their debts will remain unpaid they will be ruined and their families and dependents reduced to the verge of starvation. They seem to be in a piti able condition. All their misfortunes come from the miserable credit system that has been the cause of the ruin of so many thousands of Southern planters and business men. All for a Dying: Child. Thursday last was a raw wintry day. A door bell was rung, and a delicate middle-aged female stood on the portr.l as the door was opened by the owner. "You are-. I was sent here please; my name is-." The voice was choked with sobs. ''Come in." The stranger with a basket on her arm crossed the threshold and ws.s made welcome. She was probably fif ty. Care aud poverty had mapped her face with many a furrow. Her dre?s was plain aud wearing to holes. Her hands were bare. A pair of worn shoes were tied by extra strings to be kept to her feet. Her story was short. "I was sent here; I have a dear boy, only fourteen, near Savannah, ill with con sumption. Our friends can't keep us without help. I work at these (hold ing up a pretty handkerchief bag) when you are asleep. I sell them and return to my child with my earnings to boy medicine. 3Iy husband died of con sumption iu- Baltimore, I nursed him three years and worked to feed us threij. My child said, 'if we can get South I may get better.' I brought him, but I have to leave him to help support us. You'll buy this? Thank you. God bless you. And this too ? (a package of toilet soap.) That is clear gain to ' me; a good .druggist gave mo that. This shawi is a nice warm one; a dear lady of your town pufc.it.'on nie.. Oh, the peo ple are so kind; so kind." 'Ts your child very sick?" She broke down witli weeping. "Yes; he'll not last much longer. The bard part is that I have to leave him for a moment. I'll reach him by day after to-morrow." She was pressed to accept of some refreshmeut, but the hungering of her poor heart banished all bodily demands.. She scarcely touched the food. "You have a nice home; thank God for it. 1 have always been poor; always poor. I sometimes ask myself is God just? Ob. yes, I know He is just, but 1 give way at times. Poverty, ill health, homeless ness don't strengthen the faith of some. Good-bye; you've been so kind. The conductor said I'd be well treated at Orangeburg. Try, try again. That nerves me. I'll sell anotber bag over there you think. I'll never see you again here, but we'll "meet up there. Gcod-bye." The delicate creature bathed in tears passed out. Her candor and polite discriminations evinced better days and-careful advantages. Poverty chilled her through and through', but. in several generous homes she rntifi such kindness, that her breast glowed with gratitude. Every day the door bells are besieged with burly tramps, --but the pic ture of a poor female struggling against poverty brings back the deep meaning sentiment which appeals to Heaven with mighty prayer. ''God help the poor." Juafc ae We Expected. - It is said that Charleston is not pleas ed with Speaker Carhlse's committee appointments, and, judging from the News and Couries's strictures on the action of Mr. Carlisle in the matter, we are inclined to think that our Charles ton friends are real wrothy about it, and they have a right to be. Some of the South Carolina members should have been appointed on the Biver and Harbor Committee, and it does seem, that, con sidering Charleston's importance, that the State would have been represented on the committee. But, of course, if any South Carolinian had been appoint ed to that committee it must have been Mr. Dibble, as Charleston is id his dis trict, and he was a Randall man, you know. The News aud Courier thinks that South Carolina has been scandal ously treated in the formation of the House committees, and iutimates that it is about time to strip Speakers of a pow er which is so shamefully abused. This journal did not support Mr. Carlisle for the Spcakership. The News and Cou rier did. That journal held Mr. Carlisle up as a model representative of the new South, aud now that it liuds that it was mistaken iu its estimate of that gentle man it must bear its disappointment as best it cau. Had Mr. Randall been elected Speaker Charleston would not have been thus treated. lteform Needed. In a communication to the News and Courier last Friday Mayor Courtenav cites this pieec of extravagance on the part of Charleston County ofiiciels. lie says: "There were thirty-two prisoners de livered to the Penitentiary in Columbia last year and $40 apiece charged and paid for transportation," an outlay of $2,080. First-class tickets to Columbia cost $3 90 each. Cf course prisoners are not transported in first-class coaches, but I will make the bill out on this basis and we have $202 80. Then assuming that a constable had charge of two prisoners each, (not so, of course, for the carriage of prisoners is very differ ent from this.) and we have for "twenty six constables, going and returning, fifty-two tickets at $3 90, $202 80. Total outlay $405 GO, deducted from $2,080, and the bnlaucels the snug little sum of $1,G74 40 tucked away iu a private pocket." A reform seems to be badly needed in Charleston County. "How To Re Happy Though Mar ried," Is the alarming title of a volume that has been presented to the Princess Reatnce. The Fantastic Sandy of the Sea. Of all the crab tribe, this is sorely the most fantastic little fellow, and onght to be considered the "missing link," for he certainly has one of the first instincts of civilization, namely, that of attempting to cover himself with extraneous and or namental garments. He is the dandy of the sea. Bits of seaweed are his great re liance, but smaU objects of almost any kind he will appropriate, even to bits of stone or wood. One of mine showed con siderable taste and an idea of style, pre ferring the most gaudy colors he conic* find in the tank. These little animals wiL1 spend hours every day at the toilet, appropriating with their handlike claws bits of ?eaweed, ser tularia, sponge or tubular la. One will perhaps place a bit on the tip of hie nose, or suspend from it along, ribbon-like strip of red or green alga?, or affix similar frag ments to his legs, elbows or knees, as wo may call them. He does not appear to take these pieces at random, but has the air of selecting tbem with care, am? then leisurely cutting them from the large fronds with his own nippen, of whiuh he has two pair one upon eaehofhistwo foremost arms. Having covered the de sired portion, he takes it up in one of his hand (for his nippers serve for hands as Well as shears), and placing one end of it lh his month, evidently deposits a piece of mucous, or marine cement, which se cures the object in the position which his lordship sees fit to arrange it, and in which matter he is somewhat fastidious. This mueous must have great strength, for ifi his native element he will-walk' around thus arrayed without any danger of. his' ornaments being washed away, even by the roBing surf. In the tank, when his toilet is completed, he will ad-' vanceto the front or most conspicuous spot he can find, and as near to the spec tator as he can conveniently get, with a self-satisfied air, as if to say: "I'm in Ml dress how; how do yon like my style?"? Cape Ann Breeze. Mr. Lamar'a Philosophical Neighbor. Secretary Lamar doubtless finds in spiration in the study of a great local character who was the fighter of Mr. Lamar's neighborhood when the latter was a mere boy. This fighter was a planter by the name of James B. Zackery. His dialect aud exploits were most hap pily described by Mr. Lamar at a recent dinner. Zackery, in his best days, whipped everything before him. One day young Lamar asked the fighter to give him the secret of his success. He said: "Zackery, it can't be that you are big ger and stronger than everybody." Zackery replied: "Well, Lucius, I jest explains it this yer way: When I goes into a fight I takes a good swar that I'm goin' to stay right tharl Mr. Lucius," added ho, "flghtiir is, I reckon, tho most tiresomest business there is. When the other follow'begins to get his tire on, then your.stayin' right thar will beat him, shore;" '? It was Zackery who, in condoling with a neighbor who had lost a good and faith ful wife, said: - "I am sorry for you; I know of no thin' that ungears a man so as to lose his wife." Toward the close of his Ufa Zackery experienced religion. As -he was lying upon his death-bed a neighbor, came in and said: "Well, Zackery, yon '-rill, have to .go soon, I am told." "An is agreeable to nater," was his polite and conservative reply. When asked if he thought his sins rrere all forgiven, he Mid, with even-greater conservatism: "I reckon the heft of them are."?New York World. The Nervei??? Nations of Brazil. The natives of Brazil are worthless la developing the country. They are indo-. lent, nerveless, and do not waste any ef fort They believe in postponing every thing until next summer that cannot be dene In a hammock or a rocking-chair. I They are full of plans and schemes, but never carry them out because it Is to much easier to contemplate them than to act The demoralization of the laboring ele ment by emancipation and the low priee of coffee have reduced their incomes, and they buy their wines aiid fine clothes by plastering mortgages over the plantations they have inherited. Thus the English men who already have a monopoly of the country, are gathering in the lands, and it wiU not be many years before the Portuguese aristocracy will be simply tenants upon their ancestral estates. These Englishmen are making big profits out of the Brazilian trade, and particularly in the sale of coffee to the United States. The coffee crop, or rather the surplus for export, is worth from $45,000,000 to $60,000,000 a year. The com mission men make advances in cash some times, but more often in supplies to the planters, get a big profit on the goods and a big interest on the cash, and take the crop in payment. As often as otherwise ?for the Brazilian is a Spendthrift and knows nothing of economy?the crop will not cover the advances, and the English men seldom permit it to, so that the mortgage laps over on the plantation.? Rio Janeiro Cor. N. Y. Sun. Tho Government's School Farms. There are many queer attachments to this great and complicated machinery of government. How many people know that the United Stales is a landlord on quite a large scale, and that, too, in the old hotbed of states' right, South Caro lina? Titles to no less than eighteen farms in that state are vested in the na tion. These improved places vary in size from forty to S00 acres,. the average being about 100 acres. They were bid in by tax commissioners of the United States awaj back in reconstruction days, and under the existing statutes no authority can be found to permit their redemption or to seU them. Congress passed an act twelve of fifteen years ago providing for the dis position of the income from the farms. They are in the custody of the internal revenue collector, who adds to his ordi nary duties of looking after the tax on liquors and tobacco the renting and keep ing up of the property.?Washington Letter. A Military Organisation of Firemen. Paris firemen are armed with guns. The uniform consists of a blue tunic with but tons bearing the arms of the city of Paris, trousers of a deeper shade of blue, trimmed on the side with red. While on service in the men wear the cap of soldiers in the infantry service, but when at fires they wear a helmet of brass with a blask crest They are organized as infantry, and numbers fifty officers and 1,690 men. The chief officer is a colonel. Names Derived from Occupations. An investigator of names says after a long search for it he has been unable to find any person who ever bore that of Printer.

MOUNTAINS OF PRINTED MATTER. Tons ..ooks and Copyrighted Matter Piled Up in tho National Library. I have been spending a busy hour with the busiest man in Washington. For nine years tho project for building a suitable and safe deposit for our books, maps, pictures, photographs, lithographs, and all sorts of printing matter, has been agi tated by those who have the good of the land ut heart. About five years ago the bill passed the senate. Delay was all that proYeuted the bill from becoming a law at that time. Two years ago It came up again, and again it was delayed in the house and laid over, having twice passed the senate. Meantime, daring these nine years, the increase of the product of the land in this line has simply heaped up mountains of printed matter, with uo place to put it. A goat or a Rocky mountain ram might enjoy a leap and ramble through the library of oongress as it now appears, but hardly a human be tas. tons upon to kb of matter. Let up see. Here axe four stories of books; each story is of Iren, all safe and solid enough. But there Is no room; no longer room to turn around in or place anything at all in' order. There was at first room for 800,000 books; but the libra rian has found room, after a fashion, for more than 400,000, to'say nothing of the - mountains and threatening avalanches of maps, chromoc, charts, lithographs, pho tographs, and indeed all sorts of pictures and prints that'must, under the copyright laws, find place here. ? Tons upon tons of matter Is piled up in the dark storage-rooms in the basement. Here- in the library", where'books, maps,, and. all sorts of copyrighted works are supposed to be accessible to aU, the "stuff" Is simply piled up In great inaccessible heapB. It had as well be sealed up in the tombs of Egypt. What a chance for a Are! And suppose this man should die who has so long heon at the head of the library, and has had to carry aU this con fusion and chaos in his mind for so many years, who could put all this disorder to rights? Does this seem strange? It Is a proper interrogation. No man living could do it. Ainsworth R. Spofford, librarian of con gress, is not only the busiest man in Washington but perhaps the most learned man In his line in America. Not a con gressman who has ever been in this library and asked for a book or anything else to be had hero will dispute that. Thore is not a senator who does not, figuratively if not in fact, take off his hat at mention of this little man who has been in charge here since long before many Of you were born. Strange with what patience and quiet good-nature he has continued to put np with aU thin delay and confusion of books, and maps, and pictures, and mountains of prints. DISRESPECT to our authors. When you reflect, that every published work every piece of are int he way of prints' or pictures, must find places here you wiH have some sort of an idea about the wonderful gallery of artworks which lies buried here and the hundreds, of tons of books, papers, and pamphlets', prints, and io on. Only, think how many loads of stuff overy day .is arriving here'.to bo packed and crowded and heaped some where jn. or about these four stories of iron shelves. I proclaim to the members of the west that this delay la not decent. It' is not treating the books of our authors with respjbet. You would not. willingly put your dog in such places as you compel the librarian to tumble the brain works ot your best men and women In. America. And how can thoy be seen or read in thin Bhspof While on this subject of confusion here, I may mention that I found in the form of a plaster cast a tender and pitiful face of our Savior in eae of the dark corners, by an American artist. It is a profile in plaster, and so very full of ovfot pity and pathos that I turned about to look at it mere than once. It is sot oonepiouous for what it says, but for what it suggests; like one of Robert Browning's poems.' I do not know what it is doing here, except to help add to the helpless confusion which has unavoidably overtaken all things in our great library, which is about one-tent** the capacity of the British mu seum. rj?h?a face, I am told, was done by a young man from the west; a son of Senator Voorhees,?Joquin Miller's Wash ington Letter. The Art of Seating en Audience. You probably are not aware of the fact that It is a fine art to distribute a smaU audience so that the people in it will not feel lonesome. You, like everybody else who goes to the theatre, have frequently been shown to your place by the usher only to be made to feel that you were the moat conspicuous individual on the floor. With tier after tier of empty seats gaping aU around a feUow, the sense of loneliness is sometimes very oppressive. I have fled from many a good performance rather than sit in a house like the last man on earth on the judgment day. Nothing is more desolate than an empty theatre. Now, if the treasurer, or ticket-seller, is an adept, skilled in his trade, he will so apportion a small sale that a sparse house wiU be made to look big. This is done by a nice acquaintance with his chairs and the science of distribution, four and five people being seated here, as many more there, and twice as many there, the ob ject being to make a little collection of heads visible in which ever direction one looks, and the squads so grouped as to cover the beggarly urray of empty benches by bringing the heads in range of one an other. A clever treasurer wiU scat a $100 audience so that the manager wiU Bee J5C0 in it.?Syracuse Standard. A Novel Method of Teaching. A Philadelphia lecturer on anatomy the other day adopted a new and novel method for conveying instruction. Hang ing beside him on a platform was the ar ticulated skeleton of a man, and at his feet was a pail of modeling clay. To ex plain the muRclos of the arm, the lecturer modeled them in his hands and attached thorn to the bone3 where they belonged, explaining the attachments of the tendons as he did so. He then pointed out the muscle on the arm of the model, and showed ite position when contracted and flexed. The lecture was highly appre ciated.?Chicago Herald. Trappings of the White Elephant. The trappings of the white elephant of King Thebaw are said to be worth $1,000, 000. The royal regalia are reputed the most valuable in the world, especially in rubios and sapphires. Ruby mines exist just north of Mandalay, to which no European has ever been allowed access. The Burmese war is, therefore, likely to yield plonty of loot.
