Ihnl is rather u strange position which the Saluda Standard lakes as to the line bridges over Saluda river. "We do not remember to have said that the Standard was "narrow" in taking this position and we do not say so now, but the Standard should not want to secure business for the merchants at Saluda by making it impossible or very inconvenient for the people to go elsewhere. It should remember, also, that a very number of the taxpapers of Saluda county want these line bridges and that they have some right, or should have, which should be considered. Another way to look at it, loo, is that when you try to force people to go your way they generally "buck" and thai pretty strong. If the merchants of Saluda will make it to | he interest of the people to trade with I hem and will lei it he known they will come nearer getting the trade lhan in an ell'ort to make it impossible or very inconvenient to go elsewhere. W bile the building of (lie steel bridge at Iliggins Ferry fvill help Newberry in that it will make '.I convenient for the people of Saluda to come here it will at the same time be a great convenience to a large proportion of the Saluda people who want to come to Newherrv because it is their natural and nearest market. We favored the building of a bridge at Island Ford between NewbeiVv and Greenwood counties because it would accommodate some of the Newberry people whose most convenient market, with the bridge, is Ninety Six. I'lie steel bridge at Iliggins Kerry is going to be rebuilt at once and, of course, Saluda will bear her part of the cost. A large number of her people want it. I he Standard should urge the merchants of Saluda to make it to the interest of the people Pi trade with j them and (hey will gel the trade regardless of free bridges but to op- I p<>>e line bridges and thus try lo build a wall to keep the people and foive them to trade at Saluda will not work. The Saluda people will not stand for it. The Columbia correspondent of the News ad Courier says the question as to whether a trustee of a Stale college can hold a seat in the legislature is hcinir discussed and should bo settled. The const it ut ion is as plain as the K.nulish language can make it. The only question is whether it is a po-ition of trust or profit under this State. I here are two sections of the constitution, inhibiting the holding of two offices. Section '21, Article TI refers exclusively to members of (he general assembly and reads: "Art. II. Sec. 21. N'o person shall he eligible to a seal in the general assembly while he holds any office or position of profit or trust under tliis State, the Cnited Slates of America, or any of them, or under any other power, except ollicers in the militia and notaries public; and if any member shall accept or exercise any of the said disqualifying offices or positions ho shall vacate his seat." Is a trusteeship 0f Clemson, for instance, as that seems lo be the only trusteeship which is desirable, a "position" or "office" under this Stale of "trust" or "profit". I he supreme court decides that ( lemson is a State institution and the trustees are agents of the Slate. Surelv no member of the legislaluie would try to evade (lie constitution by tailing to gel a commission as the correspondent intimates and even it he did not lake a commission would lie II..| Mill be violating the constitution if be exercise" the duties o I the posi t ion. As the correspondent of the News and Courier says the question ought to be settled. THE LYCEUM COURSE. The Luceum course scheduled for this season in New'herrv is one of the highgest character.

A fencing master appeared in Bos ton one winter in the seventeenth cen fury and had erected a stage on whiel he strutted up and down at certaii hours, defying any and all to engage in sword play with him. After (his had gone on for severa da\ s and the man's boasts had bocome insufferable, Judge Willian Cioffe and Kdward Whalley, the fa nous Knglish political refugees, disguised themselves in rustic cost unit and appeared before* the alleged mastor. (lotle held in one hand a cheese w rapped in a napkin, which ho used for a shield, and carried a mop whicli he had soaked in muddy water as he passed a puddle. Thus equipped, I lie judge mounted the stage. The fencer railed at him for his impudence, asked him what business he had* there and ordered him to begone. The judge stoenl his ground. I he'n the gladiator maelo ,1 pass at him with his sword to driv-e him off. The judge received tin sword in his cheese and held it there till he bad drawn the mop over the professor's face and smeared bin with mud. Another plunge by the en raged maitrc d'armcs result similarly this time the judge poking the moj into his eyes. This operation was re pea ted a third time. I hem the maddened fencing masto (hopped his ordinary sword ane grabbed up a huge broadsword I hereupon (lie judge said. Stop, sir! Hitherto, von see, have only played with you and not at tempted to do you harm, but if vm come at me now with the broad swor< know that I will certainly take von life." The master was impressed by t*i firmness with which the judge spoke for he dropped the point of (his woa| on and exclaimed: "Who can you be Von must he either flotYo, Whallev o the- devil, for there was no other ma in hnglnnd that could beat nio!1 Boston Post.

His rathe luxurious family deterred him froi accepting a bishopric, which wool have otherwise been tendered.
