The Plan Adopted bY the Fenitentlarl birctors-etas of theiiases Recent ly Made. ( Frm the Vews and Courier.) COLUBMA January 27.--It *il be emembered that the terms upon brhich the boaid of directors of the nitentiary, at their meetings held in e early part of this month, leased three bIantations for convict res4dence labor were not made public because the contract had not been committed to writing. Much interest has beel exhibited in the matter, and it seemed desirable'that the public should be in formed of the details of the contracts. Inquiry was made this morning at the office of the Clerk of Court for this county, and it was found that the Seegers and Sims contracts had been signed and were in the Clerk's hands awaitinar rccord. The lease of the Seegers plantation contains the following provisions: John C. Seegers leases to the board of directors of the penitentiary for a term of five years from January 1, 188, his "Big Lake" plantation, locat ed in Richland county, some miles below Columbia. He agiees to fur nish all the farm utensils, implements and machinery required by the dire tors, and to furnish also such mules as may be required by the directors for farm work and a horse for the use of the manager of the farm. He furth er agrees to farnish all the lumber necessary for the mainteiance and re pair ofthe convict stockade and such land as may be required for vegetable gardens. He agrees to pay each year during the term of the agreement and lease one-half of amounts which shall be required for'the purchase of coin mercial fertilizers and cotton bagging and ties. The directors agree to occupy and use the farms solely for the employ ment of convicts, the convicts to be managed by eficers and guards of the penitentiary- They agree to furnih such X umber of convicts as may be necessary for the proper cultivation of tbefrm, and to maintain these con vicWand their guards at the expensse ot the: penitentiary. They agree to prolperly care for the mules and horses furnisd, tbesaid animals to be main taiied and fed Mr. Seegers. Thev agre to pay one-half the amoint re quired for the purchase of commercial fertilizers and cotton bagging and ties; to return to Mr. Seeger-, when the crops shall be , the seed corn and-other.s brains and cotton seed furnished b 'm for planting such crope.' Thoe" on seed raised on the famr to be used as a fertilizer; and at thiexpiration of the lease, after the deddcton of the amount of _seed ad vanced by Mr. Seegers, the remainder aisto be-equaily divided between thet two parties to the agreement. The board agrees to pay to Mr. Seegers as rent oLthe farm one-half of the net proceeds of sales of crops made on the farm. This arrangement and lease is signed Seegers and T. J. Lips comb, iuperintendent of the peniten tiary. The leaseoflh. plantation of J. C. F. S is about ten miles below the city, is couched in the same term. This plantation has 1,400 acres. O course the-maintenance of such a large forctYonvicts without return until the crps are made will be expensive; but i arrangement were not ef dAct prisoners would have to be su ,l-3n idleness at the penaiten tiarv.

Wnit i be Biought by a White Child's Coil ored Parents Because it was Dismissed from School. (From the Grbeenrille News.) An Interesting and reiarkable case, which may come under the civil rights laws, has been develoyed in Gnatt, township, this county. The West Gnatt High School, a few miles be low the city, is a flourishing one for white scholars, taught by T. E. Ewart. It is suppcrted partly by individual subscriptions of white citizens and partly from the public fund, having a ten nouths' session, and i- patronized by the best people of that section. In the neighborhood there is a white woman married to a well-to-do renter named Smith; who claims to be a Spaniard, but is regarded and treated as a fall blooded negro, having every appearance of being one. Before her marriage to Smith, the woman was a widow and had a number of children who are pure white. These children, however, regard Smith as their father and are called by his name. Last week one of them, a boy of fourteen, was sent to Mr. Ewarn's school. lie promptly objected to the attendance of the boy, and reported the case to the trustees, J. J. Mackey, John P. Scruggs and A. R. Smith. A number of pat rons of the school gave notice that if the Smith boy attended it they would withdraw their children. On FridaN the trustees met and unanimously de cided to dismiss the boy. The com munity -sustains Mr. Ewart and the trustees; but the Smiths ae indignant and declare their purpose to prosecute ihe Ieacher and the trustees in the United States Court under the civil rigrts law. But 'is difficult to see how such a prosecution could be had, as the boy was not discriminated against because of his race, color or previous condition, being a full blood ed white, and was objected to because of the social position of his papers. The case is without precedent so far as is known. A HAUNTED HOUSE. Apparitions in a Doorway Create a Sen sation in an Indiana Town. About four miles to the southwest of Wabash, Indiana stands a little cluster of houses. The inhabitants are intel lizent farmers who have retired roin agricultural pursuits, intent on ending their days in Arcadian simplicity and quiet. One-half mile south on the Somerset mail route is a trame cottagze rapidly falling into decay. The heavy front door stands ajer on one hinge suff ently to reveal a cheerless inte rio.- , i crumbling floor and walls. The nearest dwelliag is a quarter of a mile distant. That the building is the t-cene of spectral gatherings everybody in the town is convinoed. About two weeks ago, while Dr. Watson was driving past at midnight, his horse suddenly stopped and then began to back. Giancing toward the old house the doctor was horrified to observe the figure of a man in the doorway dressed in black. His coat and vest were thrown open revealing a white shirs. The figure swayed back ward and forward for several moments. The doctor sat dazed, and then recov ering himself applied the whip to his horse, which sprang forward. The apparition. Jefferson Brown, an old farmer, while returning home from a neighooi s lite in the night, saw a woman in the doorway of the same house and heard groans. The figure was clad in black and the oress was partly in frout, ex posing a white under garment. She appeared to be suspended in mid-air, with hands uplifted as though in sup plication. The figure of a boy was aso observed on another occasion by Mr. Brown and two other farmers, who heard the rattling of the rotten floor. So frightened were they all that they fled without investigating the matter, and there is no disposition among the villagers to keep vigil. It is proposed by a party from Wabash to watch night after inight, and solve the mystery if possible, THE MONUMENT TO LEE. Design for the Proposed Memorial of the Great Southern General. A correspondent of the American Register states that a distinguished American sculptor, whose name is withheld, recently shipped from Rome a model for the proposed equestrian monument to Gen. Robert E. Lee, to be erected in Richmond, Va., and for which several unsatisfactory competi tions have already taken place. The model in question is in the form of an exquisitely designed architectural base, squars in shape and diversified with graceful columns in half relief. Rising from the centre of this is a short fluted column or altar piece, so to speak, placed upon a smaller base, and deco rted with a bevy of beautiful childish figures supporting circular shields representing the eleven Southern States and occupying spaces between them. The column is surmounted by a colos sal female figure, typifying the genius of the South, with one hand resting upon the plough, while the other is extended forward as if ready to crown the warrier whose name she delights to honor. Projecting from the princi pal base is an extension of the same height and style of architecture, bear ing upon it the equestrian statue of Lee, which at once arrests the atten tion of the beholder as a striking and~ original conception. The horse and rider, though in a manner such as only a man skilled in horsemanship could conceive of, seem to divide the honors with each other in the contrast of expression created by the sculptor. Gen. Lee is shown as sitting erect and looking intently towards a distant point of interest, but yet calm and strong and self-poised in his conscious knowledge of the situation. The horse, on the contrary, while represented as obedient to his master's will, and awaiting his signal for action, is step ping slowly forward, but reaches his head aloft and toward1s the point of danger, indicating by his dilated nos trils and eagerness of eye that he scents the battle afar ofl. It is a potrait of an animal in full sympathy with his rider, and yet teeming with excitement and impatience to participate in the event about to transpire. The con eption of the whole, it is claimed, is a superb one, full of the lofty dignity of character befitting the originali, and has the high artistic quality af express in the strong emotion both of the rier and his steed without resort to the too frequent necessity of physical action. pursuit of Jackson, the fugitive, re port one of their dlogs missing,. and that a note was found on a tree, sigued by Jackson, which said that he had borrowed the dog to hunt with and womlit return him in the spring.

A Funny Story About the Millionaire and How He Travels. (FIow the News and Courier.) It would appear that a fah- propor ion of Jay Gould's hours of idleness is spelnt i.~ the faecinating occupation of toeck jobbing. In other words, he is always himself. Jav Gould only spent a few hours in Charleston, but if the report be true, he was even than plotting to "unload" to the advantage of himself and his prospective heirs. A correspondent of the New York Times, writing from Charleston, says: "Dispatchez were lately sent from this city repr,'i-enting that he had ctatiged his plans so far this winter as o decide to give lup Lis yachting trip and '-o on an inspection tour over the Southern Pacific lines. For the very reas7ons that Irive been indicated al ready hiis report was untrue. He had io thougih of making a Soutliern Pacific trip. The s:atement that lie had was ti-ed only for a peg to hang a stock j bbing scheine upon." TIhe cortrespondenzt, however, does woe "it'maize the bill" and leaves the mtblic in the dark as to the details of he stock-jobbing schieme. The Times r iresponident fuirther states that bir. (;ould onhis trip here ''brought, be des his family and his doctor, an ther guest, a man of retiring mannier, who was never sen with the excur inlists, but who was, for till that1 in Mr. Goul's estimation, an important tnmher of the travelingr party. Thi~s naun of the retiring manner was a pri ate deire, a donghty', middle-aged fellow of experience, who draws a yearly salary out of Jay Gould's till." This~ "man of retiring manner" was not on exhibition in Charleston, at east when the gireat multi-millionaire went abroad in the public places, whihre, uinder ordlinary circumstances, Mr. Gould tmight be expected to go in fear and trembling. The Tu7nes discredits the story of its correspondentli, and ironically says: "As for Mr. Gould's catrrying a private :etective on his yacht, that does not ndicate that lie goes in fear of his life. le is in no danger of attack at sea eincept fromt pirates, and a pirivate de ee; ive is a p~oo~r safeguard against a uecaneer of the Spanish Main. lie naycary aprvat deectvearound o to set un a death's head at din er to remind him what his fate might are been btut for' the incompetetncy of~ etectives." 25 YE ARS IN USE.

We hadi a case of scrofula in our ieiglborhood, of long standing, who had used all patent elletlicils whicI were rieomlnemted to him: besides this, he a!s!) had several doc tors attending him, but everything failed to effect any good. lie grew w.-rse every day, and had not ieft his bed for the l.st ,ix months. We had seen him several times in our little town, though it has been more than fifteen monthssince we last saw hini, and we suppose this was the last time e was able to tome to town, as lie lives about eight miles in the country. His liame is Servenka, and we got a neiahbor of 'is to persuade him to try B. B. B , and after using only ONE BOTTLE lie left his bed for the fir-t time in six months. To the present time lie has used less than three bott!cs, and he is walking around visiting his friends in the neighbor hood. le has gained strength and flesh rapidly. All scrofulous sores are healing finely, and you never saw a happier man than he is. Nearly everybody for miles around has heard of this wonderful cure, and ad who need a blood remedy call for the B. B. B. We had a case of nasal catarrh in our own family (a little girl of four years old), who has been using B. B. B. for about two weeks, and already seems to be about well. We have oniv three bottles left, and want you to ship us six dozen bottles. We take pleasure in recommending B. B. B. as a medicine worthy of the entire confidence of the public. its action is more rapid than any blood remedy we ever handled. LIEDTKE BlROS. TRADE - '\MARK.
