V * ?uj&TOBtr?Vfcltf rttittplv. Anscwmi, <M0 m ifffli, Camden. S C- July 6,1OO0. 410,000,000.00. Ayp are informed that Joti'n D. ^Rockefeller has contributed or sdo>nat3<l.the magnificent sum of .$10,000,000.00 tb the Ogden iboard fof 4da?titional purposes. /Truly a splendid offering, but to xVhat purpose?- If that Ogden 4crowd has ever done anything .that tended to educate the masses - xwe have yet to hear iti Their x%ork has been as we see it, .strictly on the line of educating ,the educated in matters Otf Which .they were already fairly well .grounded, and they having gain 4ed full Knowledge, have not as a rule the capacity to impaft that &l)pwledge to others. We do ^not throw this off at random. .Then we have Mfc Cartiegiej ?tho steel king, supposed to be worth $10,000,000. He says ^that he would consider it a dis grace to die rich and is squati-' *dering milltions of dollars in en dowing public libiaries. To what purpose? Who, or what, jiclass do the^e libraries benefit? We may be pardoned we hope for saying that -tliey are of no benefit to any class suve u ^najority of those who are amply able to pay for the bootcs, per iodicals, etc , etc., that are vend ed out therei The great mass of the people never srd tile inside KOt a library, in fact, don't know that such an institution exists. ? This is said in all respect, for "we plead guilty to often forget Alfig the oxistence of a library iiero. This brings us down to Ihe sub ject proper. ' John D. Rockefeller is said to .be a great Baptist. If he wants to do real philditbropic work .Why doesn't he ascertain through the various State Boards, what ^Churches are struggling to build and equip a parsonage or church 'and extend his munificent baud 'to thethf If he is not hide Jbound in his religion, lie could ^irith equal grace help out the ?people of bthet deilottllnrttions. TThe church is the great educa ttor?_for in them largely we learn the great lessons of lifo which ?fit us for life eternal. The endowing of great church es and universities does uot to our mind indicate true christian spirit for we ars told in the ^scriptures ihat Christ mainly "'worked among the humble and condemned those who exalted jthcmselves. A gift of $10,000, J000 by any individual to any in stitution, or for any purpose, is pliable to make the giver feel ex alted and naturally aocVert it the gift is misdirdcted. ' Now, us to Mr. Cartieffie* In stead of endotviitir libraries for I tjeople, tliM mofll of whom can 'Afford to buy tliuir own litera ture) why doesn't lie set apart, let us say a million dollars to the Country press of each state* the interest therefrom to be pro rated among the Various news papers, to bo used by them, not Tor their benefit, but iii purchas ing the I>e6t educational talent lo be found for Use iri their col-1 timns. This* it seems to us, wotilU bo a hftfttcr plane upon which to lift manttital thuu the One now pursued by Mr. Car negie* himself a man from the ranks. All the ubovo may b<) thVmris tic nonsense but wp don't think Jk>. Thutdltt passage in scrip* ture reading something like this, "To whom wlitf hAth, much *hall bo gtVelh and from him who hath not, that rtlso shall bo taketi away." doesn't appeal to us at all.

The minister has command of an extensive vocab ulary of words, is a smooth and attractive speaker, his logic in the main sound) and he himself we think an earnest christian and a credit to the cloth. "We think however that he was a lit tle uhliappy in giving David as one ^of the highest types of christian valor. Those who have read the history of him from whoso lineage descended our Savior, wit! recall that previous to his meeting with and over coming the lion and the bear, lie had been annointed by Samuel as he who should succced Saul as ruler over Israel. With this fact iu mind, David could have had no fG&r in meeting tlic lion and the bear, foi God was With him. The same when approach ing the giant Goliath with intent to kill, and thus Wipe out the ignomiuy that for forty dayS had been heaped upon his* brethren. Ue knew that he had naught to fear for he was under the all powerful protection of Hiin who. had marked him out for a higher destiny than that of an igno minious death at the hands of a savage. This act of David's, was itt accordance with a pre arranged plan of the Almighty tnrough the medium of which David would become better lenowu to tlic Jewish people, aud they through it be nearer prepared to accept him as their ruler when the propel* titUC came. Christian valor to our mind consists mainly iu stauding for the right as the christian sfees it. To boldly denounce wrong either iu high or low places. To meet with geniality and christian courtesy and a welcoming hand all thosu who are striving to wards a higher aud better life. To do thisi in many instances requires an exhibition of the highest type of christian valor, and we say in sorrow that there are few within the pale of the church who measure up to It.

ROYAL SUCifeHOUNDS. la kniltad la tka Dtjt ?| KI*I George HI. But, though the royal back, bounds us An institution can trace their descent batk to tilufl King Harry, tho present fashion of hant ing thoir game began with good King George. The date cannot be fixed precisely, but it is certain that (he carted deer was first used in Georgo Ill's reign, when inclosure acta and the spread of tigrltmlture bad made the nhue of tbe wild stag impossible in the settled districts of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire His majesty was no thvu.iter (wiiich, seeing tiiat ho rode 19 one, is not surprising), and the hounds had frequently to bo stopped for bini. He rode to a pilot, but, as the follow ing little anecdote showsj reserved himself an umple discretion: "On dtlO OccMHion they caiM t?? a place which the king did not quite fancy. He hung a little. ' Johti hB? gone o?er, your majesty,' said one at the eouerries, hoping, no doubt, that a hole might be made for liim. 'Then you may go after film,' said tho king and jogged #Q to find $ nicer place." Most of the household seem to have takon their cue from their royal master, but oue of the cqucrriesi Colonel Gwyn, who married Gold* smith's Jessamy Bride, went so well in 1I famous run in the autumn of 1797 that he was complimented?by the nimrod of the day, we presumo ?upon displaying "Inoreof tbe gen uine, unadulterated apoftsmaoi than ti?effeminate courtier." *The bounds were from 24 to 36 inches, lemon pyes and hlnck and white. They could go very fast, we aro told, for bnlf on hoi#, giVltJi tongUO the while like Big Ben, but they must soon have sobered down, for some of tbe runs seem te have covered a portentotiB tract bf fctiuil' try. Perhaps none was quite so long as that famous oue in Charles IT? reign, when ii Swinley deer ran for 70 miles btfforo it was takeil heat Lord Potros, in Essex, and the Duke of York, with the master, Colonel Graham, was among the few wfcp lived to the ond, but they must have been long enough, to judge by the names onreti by two of the stags, Moonshine an ft Starligl*. The deer wore housod In tho sa0)6 paddocks in Bwinloy as tbe deer of today, nhd o1o?jo to thorn stood the master's bunting lodge, when high Jinks used to go on in tho old roi stering, tbreo bottle time. On June 4, the king's birthday, as Eton boy* know well, the muster used to give a dinner td the farmers and forest' ers, and sometimes thfe king would drive ovor from Windsor and watch tho lads ond lasses footing it on tbe green in front of tho houses. The building Was dismantled and pulled floWtl in 1821, but tbe grounds may ?till bo faintly traced. Tho king rode in u light bluo cflut with black velvet cuffs, top boots buckled behind uud, oftor 1768, a hunting cop. Tbe master wore the familiar gold belt and douples, but apparently tt fereen coat faced with ted, something like tho hunting coat of the second empire. The yeoman prickers wore tho sarao heavy gold lacfed scarlet coats as now and car ried Fronoh horns, which thdy veouod lustily on overy conoeivabk) occasion. I/ater oil a less noisy but mora ef. Bcient instrument was added to the boms. After Mr. MollJsh, master of tbeEpping forest bounds, had b*f>n fobbed and teiurdered by a highway man on his return from hunting a bouplo of boy* wore added to tbe es tablishment) t>?ich armed with a brace of horse pintols.
