Buz hardt bimg laid away t its last rest ing place. my h-:art exclaimed: *Hov mysterious are ts provid-uces - God!*" ie wa-a n-t the man who tia( lived his allotted time f three scir years and ten. iiit the on. that wa: living to hisnself alone. seeking th< pleasures and htmors if this life an< making the world the better by hi: living in it. Prof. P-zl-rd: had -i reached his prime in lii-: a-'d surel we can say his life n:s a life of ser vice-a life high and u;bl . as we sei him spending all his en-:rnries in edu cating the youth of the land. Prof. Buzhardt alwas b re thi stamp of the genteman. H-: stoope< to nothing low or base. His char acter was above rtproach. I hav1 never heard an unkind word spokei about him. When a boy at school a Garmany academy. his modest dispo siton. his kind heart and his nobl< character won for him the love an< respect of his teacher as well as o his school mates. From hi- boyhood he had been hard student. When a pupil in th< country school, he was seldom foun among the boys and girls taking par in the games at recess: but he woul< be off alone, his only companion be ing his text book. This close applica tion did not prove useless, for withii - a year or two he was in a competi tive examination for the scholarship it the South Carolina Military academy He won it and four years thereafte: graduated from that institution That he was the same hard studen in college as he had been in the coun try school is shown by the high stan< he#took in all his classes. After grad uation he chose teaching as his pro fession and soon became one of th4 leading teachers in the state. Hii custom was to teach nine months it the year and spend the remainder it post-graduate work at Cornell or it teaching in the summer schools. Suc hard work was more than he coul< etldure. though he was a man o: strong physique. His intimate friend! saw that his health was becoming impaired and advised him to give ul teaching. He would not do so bu tried to overcome his infirmities bi the use medical skill and continued t teach until he died of nervous pros tration-a martyr to his chosen-pro fession. Trly his was a noble. use ful life, a life spent in teaching th< young minds of our land. No marble shaf.t will be erected t( his memory. telling of deeds of valoi done on the field of battle. no mar tial hymn will be sung in his praise but, in the town of Mullirs. hundred: of children wvill be living monument. to him who spent his life rescuint them from the rnemy-Ignorance. The following is taken from a pa per publised at Mullins: "Prof. J. E. Ruzhardt is dead! Thi: sad intelligence will bring sorrow t< the hearts of many of his former put pils who are scattered throughout th< state as wvell as those who knewv him "Prof. Buzhardt was a youn gmat of about 33 years of age and possess ing a beautiful Christian character He had the rare tact of making friends and keeping them. for we hav< yet to hear the first man or womar speak ill of him. which is sayin g a o for a man who has been a teacher it the public schools for ten years. H did his dtity and commanded the lov< and respect of all with whom he cam< in contact either in a business or it a social way. He came to Mullini abotut 1894 andl was principal of onu graded school which has been th< pride of nur town. Mr. Buzhard worked hard to btuild up the schoo interests of the Mullins community and when, owing to ill health. he wa: forced to resign last year he had school second to none in the state foi a town ot its size.. "The sorrow caused by the news of his death was universal. Strong men were seen to weaken and thei1 eyes fill with tears as the sad news was spread over our town." C. A smiling face pays fare a long distance in the business world. Faith is hope in full bloom. Newberry welcomes the commence. ment visitors and wishes them oleasant stay in her midst. THE STORY OF PERDICARIS I His Mother Was a South Carolinian .Ar.d His Father a Greek Refugee. c- New Yrk Sun. SPrdicaris became a tigure im York social life after his return Europe, where he spent some r in vtidy. He was then a hand . voting man, accomplished to an degrez. and with a certain r writing. paii.ting and music, Lther. Gregory Perdicaris, a -e-:k rtfigee. who lived at that time n TrLntwn. made his son a liberal allowance. and Mrs. Ann Cora Mo vatt. fe :-: trcss. ::uthor and woman oI society- :he first of the aristocratic New Yrl: women to take to the stage without l.sing her social importance -had no irouble making friends for him when she took the young man -..der her wing. As early as i868. while he was still Iliving in London. Mr. Perdicaris had written for The Galaxy En glish and French Painters." Re miniscences of Parsian Ateliers,' "The Royal Academy." and other ar ticles on artistic topics. He was then completing an education begun at the 'd Treron academy. Mr. Per dicaris entered Harvard in the class of i86o. but left the university at the -nd of his sophomore year. In i85E he went to Europe and studied foi several years. and then he came back to Trenton to visit his family. whc had occupied for some years a hand snle house in the New Jersey capital. His father had married an Amer ican irtm a prominent South Caro lina family shortly before he was compelled to leave Greece. He ob tained employment at Harvard as a teacher of modern languages, and there became the intimate friend oj Cornelius C. Felton and Louis Agas siz. Later he rpoved to Trenton. and by fortunate speculation and invest ment made the large iortune he left to his son. In Trenton. the youthful Perdicaris was noted as a horseback rider and an athlete. and in various sports he strengthened his naturally stalwart physique. When he went abroad fot the last time his parents went witb him, and the senior Perdicaris died in Tangier in i88o. During the days of his bachelor hood in New York, when the young man was popular in society. he be came very much interested in occult beliefs and was an early convert tc spiritualism when that belief was much mo, prevalent in New York than it is today. He was an eagez supporter of Home. the spiritualist. who at the time attracted so much at tent'ipn and succeeded in making sc many converts. Perdicaris was alsc an interested student of the doctrines of Swedenborg. His means were sufficient to enable him to devote his tieto the subjects That interested him most. In i78o Mr. Perdicaris returned tc England. He wvas at this time inter -sted in the study of electricity and made the acquaintarnce of a promi nent English electrician named Var ev. who w~as married and had twc children. Mr. Perdicaris- fell in love with Mrs. Varley and after her di vorce from her husband married her. The two came to this country and went to live at Trenton. The parents of Mr. Perdicaris had I -)1d their residence and w~ere living at the Trenton house. The receptior gien by his parents in honor of the n-wly married couple took place ir ti hotel, and was long remembered athe most lavish entertainment o1 the kind ever given in the tow~n. Mr. and Mrs. Perdicaris finally titted up~ the old McCall mansion in Trenton and lived there unti! the ntire family -.: abroad togethe- ion Perdicais ultimately found life in Tangier to -his liking, and in 187; built - n the side of M\ount WVashington. three miles from Tangier. the villa fronm which he and his stepson. Cromwell Varley, have been abducted. He en tertained his American friends there liberally, and was one of the best known to.reign residents of Tangier. In 1879 Ion Perdicaris returned to this country to produce at the Fifth avenue theatre a play in verse called "The Picture." The climax of this drama was tedisplay in the last act of an enormous picture from the brtsh of the author. The drama was given first on November it. 1879, and Nard Alvmane. a Greek actress who had come to this cottntry wvith Daniel Ranmann: Marie Prescott and players in the cast. The play was ac cording to one contemporaneous criticism. too exalted and lof# for the rabble and "soared sweet.y in the perilous strata of the transcen dental." It was withdrawn after one week. Mr. Perdicaris had also come be iore the public as a painter at the Centennial exposition, where he show painting called "Tent Life." The nude figure of a woman was seen partly hidden by the folds of the tent. which fell over her face and imade it impossible to verify the story that his beautiful English wife had posed as the model. \r Perdic:Iris accidentally played a pictitret?vv part in the politics of Morocco soen years ago. when the English governess of his children at tracte<i the attention of the shereef. whose gardens adjoined those of the American. This rtlihious dignitary heard :he .nglish girl singing and was so much enraptured that he re quested permission from Mr. Perdi caris to join the family circle occa sionally and listen to the singing otherwise than at the distance render ed necessary by the garden walls. Mr. Perdicaris complied with this re quest and the singing was so effec tive that the governess informed him at the end of a few weeks that she had been invited to become the wife of the shereef ond'proposed to accept. She was told that he had already taken the utmost advantage of the Mussulman law and had four wives. The governess was undismayed by that condition of affairs and later return ed to Mr. Perdicaris with the report that he had promised to divorce his wi,;es and cleave to her only. So determined was she to accept the offer of marriage that her em ployer sent her in the custody of his butler back to her fathe:. the super intendent of the Li'gring Cros.; hos pital in London. After a few months she was back in Tangier, bringing written permisson from her father to marry the shereef. The four wives were disposed oi and the marriage took place' Now the English wife is living at Oran. protected by French officials. and the shereef has a fresh lot of wives to the orthodox number of tour. Mr. A. was helping hmself gener ously to a hash served at a summer boarding house. "How is it." said his wife, Mrs. A., "that you eat hash at a stranger's table and always decline at home?" "Because I do not know what this hash is made of." Winthrop College Scholarship & Entrance Examination.
