1 Under a ?pell,
BY 11AZEL WOOD.
It was late when Goorge Atwood
arrived at Mrs. Ilallcck's party.
There was quite a brilliant company
present, and Mr. Atwood stood near
the door to scan the throng.
Kvidontly lie was looking for some
bodv?yes, for his eyes rested now
on n young
A girl with a beautiful face up-]
turned to a fair, hvndsome man
bonding over the back of her ohair.
Sho seemed in a trance of delight
and wholly unconscious of anybody's
presence in the brilliantly lighted
parlors but the man bonding over
her.
And this girl was George At wood's
\ promised wife.
OVhen his qyes rested on her, an
jVul change ciKne over his face, the
dark color lied, leaving it white
fid rigid, and his lips formed a tense
lino under his heavy, dark beard.
For days past George At wood
watched Ida ChaUis, his intended
wife. lie knew that Ida loved.him
devotedly, and he tried not to watch
her; lie tried not to notice Alfred
May's attention to her, but as he
caught sight of her face, when ho
entered Mrs. 11alleek's parlor, la;
know that ho ought to have kept a
hotter watch over her than he did.
One glance at her face told him all.
Alfred Mav possessed the fascination
of a serpent and lie had drawn Ida
into his meshes.
George Atwood turned away with
an inward groan. 11c loved Ida passionately;
her love seemed lost to him,
yet he could not think of giving her
I "P"Mr.
Atwood is here,'' Alfred May
said, looking down at Ida Challis.
The radiant face grew pale, and
Ida shivered as she looked around
her. She had fallen from her world
of bliss, and she was once more in
Mrs. Ilalleck's crowded salon.
I , "Did you say Mr. Atwood was
here? Where is he?" she asked in a
low voice.
"Yes he was here a moment ago.
I saw him looking savagely in this
direction; I do not seo him anywhere
now," and ;Mr. May laughed musi\
cully, changed the conversation, and
in another minute Ida's face was upturned
and tosy once more.
A quadrille was forming, and a
gentleman came to claim Ida foi the
dance. Away from Alfred May,
and the glamour his presence cast
over her partly vanished. She
thought of her lover. Where was
he? Did he notice anything wrong
i - in her conduct toward Alfred May?
If he was in the room why didn't ho
4 come to her?
These thoughts flashed through
Ida's mind as she waited for the first
figure to be called, and happening
\ to turn her head, she saw her lover
I standing 011 the opposite side of the
room, his eyes fastened upon her.
One glance at his livid face and
k everything in the illuminated parlor
fl seemed whirling round her.
/ ) The dance waef-over. Ida never
(could tell how she got through it.
The heat of the room was suffocat*
ing to her, and when her partner
left her, after leading her back to
?' J her scat, she rose and staggerod Over
to one of the windows that opened
out upon the balcony.
As she stepped into the deep recess
of the window she let the curtain
fall behind her, shutting in the
r' light, and heat, and whirl. How
delightful and c&d it was out here!
The shining stars looked down at
her from their deep-blue setting
through the open window. But Ida
v ' did not shut herself out in the darkness
to gaze at the stars. She threw
herself into a chair which occupied
the recess, and buried her face in
I her hands.

more of another than I do of him.
Heaven help me! IIow is this going
to end?"
Little Ida dreamed that before
[*-*9 many minutes she would know how
it was going to end. As she asked
herself that question voices came to
her from the balcony without.
Ida's head was erect in an instant.
A lady and gentlemen were speaking
on the balcony. Ida did not wish
to sit and listen to what was not intended
for her ears, but the man's
55
~ cojntw
voice held hor spell-bouud, and she
leaned forward to catch every word
that fell from his lips.
"What absurd ideas, to be sure!"
the man was saying, in his lightest
tones.
"Absurd! How can you say so?"
said the lady's voice hotly. "Anybody
can see that you are trying to
conic between George Atwood and
his intended wife."
"Trying to conic between them!"
and Alfred May laughed derisively*
"Ah! you mean that you have already
accomplished it? Yes, everybody
says that you must have fascinated
Miss Challis?that she loves
you is no longer a secret.'*
"She loves me! Then more fool
she for her pains, for, my dear, I
have no affection to waste on anybody
but your own sweet self."
Ida listened to no more. For
days she had been under a spoil, but
it was shattered at last. She fell
back in her chair, buried her hands
once more, and groaned aloud.
At that moment the heavy curtains
parted, and George Atwood
stepped into the recess.
"Ida, what ails you?" and he rested
his hand lightly on her shouldor.
"Oh, don't touch mo?don't speak
to'nie!" she cried, drawing away
from him with a shiver. "George, I
am not worthy a kind word from
your lips."
"Heaven forbid, Ida, that a word
should fall from my lips but in kindness
to you. It is too late to consure
you now. He happy if you can;
but ob, Ida"?and the strong man's
voice shivered "it is so hard to
give you up. If Alfred May was a
good man?"
"Alfred \iiiv i< ;i Hnrnimlrnl mid 1
httto lii 111?I hate myself! Oil, George
if von know how wretched I am!"
and Ida hurst into tears.
"Ida!" cried George, in joyful
astonishment, "I thought you loved
Alfred May!"
"George, I've acted foolishly?I've
done wrong; but oh, I'm so sorry!"
said Ida, between her sobs.
"My darling!" and George clasped
her in his strong arms, "let us forget
the past ftw weeks of our existence."
An Incongruous Family.
Wilmington Messenger.
Mr. S. Van Aniringc, of this city,
who has a residence 011 the Sound at
Wrightsville, tolls us a singular and
interesting story that is, however,
not a story as the word is popularly
construed. About six weeks ago a
turtle nest was found 011 the beach
at Ocean View and Mr. Van Amringe
conceived the idea of putting
some of the turtle eggs under a duck
which began setting about that time.
About eight days ago the duck
hatched out seven ducks and eight
turtles and the incongruous brood
by this singular incubation are as
happy a family as can be imagined.
A pool was constructed in the yard
for them and the little ducks and
little turtles occupy it in congenial
association and uj> to this writing
foliow the mother duck around together
on the best of terms. Nothing
is fed to the little turtles but
they are growing and thriving fast
and some of these days they may
take a notion to eat up the duck
part of the family and then go hack
to their natural elements by crawling
away to the sound near by and
thence make their way to the ocean.
Suit Against Sam ?Jonos.
A suit against Rev. Sam Jones
and the Montgomery Christian Union
lias put religious circles in Montgomery,
Ala, in confusion. Last
fall during the progress of Sam
Jones' meeting at the tabernacle the
wind blew almost a gale, and one of
the electric light lamps, with which
one of the streets was lighted, fell
and struck Wm. Uogerson on the
leg, burning him greatly. The glass
also struck Mr. Kogerson's little hoy
and cut him. Efforts have been

torneys, to get payment for the loss
of time and suffering, but without
avail. Mr. Jones wrote that he was
not running an accident insurance
company. As a result a suit has
been brought for #10,000 by Gen.
J. S. llolzclaw and H. C. Burk,
Rogerson's attorneys, against Sam
Jones and a large number of gentleman
of the Christian Union.

Abruptly Cnded.
JUDGK ERASER AG It EES WITH A NOVEL
POINT OF A COLUMBIA LAWYE
11?TilK JURIES, DRAWN
AS USUAL, PECLA U KI>
ILLEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The StHtp.
The .1 lino form i\f f Lu t !om?f r\f
General Sessions for Uichlaml County
camo to a sudden termination yesterday
in a manner which is causing
considerable stir among the members
of the Columbia bar and will no
doubt CUU80 much discussion all over
the State.
On the call of the caso of the State
vs Wado I laities, charged with the
murder of Miss Florence llornsby,
the defense moved for a continuance
011 the ground of the absence of a
material witness. The .Judge ruled
that tho term was the second term
at which the caso had been called,
refused to grant the continuance and
directed a bench warrant to issue
for the absent witness. The defendant.
then challenged the array of
jurors on several grounds.
Messrs. C. A. Douglass and Allen
J. Green, attorneys for the prisoner,
attacked the validity of the grand
and petit jury on tho ground; first,
as to the petit jury, that the general
statutes in making provisions for the
empaneling of the jury requires that
the panel shall consist of thirty-six
good and lawful men to serve thereon;
that the panel of petit jurors
was illegal in that there were two
names on same which made t he panel
defective, as it contained the name
of one person who had been dead
for many years and the name of another
juror who was exempt by law
from serving, also that the return of
the sheriff on the venire facias showed
that the affidavit as to service was
made by himself, (J. \V\ Jamison,
W. TI. Coleman and J. W. Hammond
in the following language:
Who upon oath, say that the excution
of the foregoing writ of venire
facias appears by the schedule thereto
annexed; that they personally
served those persons oppcrite whose
name in said panel is marked I'. 8.,
ami those persons opposite whoso
name is marked 8. I/., summonses
wero left at their place of residence
or business, and those persons opposite
whose name is marked N. K. I.i
could not he found in Kichland
County.
Mr. Douglass, after reading the
section of the general statutes bearing
upon this point, construed it as
meaning that the sheriff must in person
serve the venire facias upon the
jurors, or by regularly appointed
deputies in writing, the fact of which
appointments must appear either on
the veniro or by some certificate of
the sheriff attached to the venire
that the deputies were appointed according
to law in writing. Ho submitted
that the venire in question
did not show that the three persons
who assisted the sheriff in serving
the notices had any connection whatsoever
with the sheriff's oflice. And
as an additional ground of objection
to the legality or the jurors drawn in
obedience to the writ of venire facias
the General Statutes, section 2,
240, distintly says that in cases where
jurors cannot be found, and are not
served personally, they must be served
by leaving the certificate or notice
at their places of abode, whereas, in
this instance, the affidavit of the
sheriff says that these certificates or
notices were left either at the plase
of abode or at the place of business.
The illegality of the grand jury
was attacked by Mr. Douglass on
41< i 4lw,4 ! -I
buu giuunvt uiitii nitj vunirc uiiuri
which that body was drawn and
which the grand jury had found a
true nill against the defendant before
the court was not a lawful venire,
and was fatally defective in that it
had not attached to it the 3eal of the
court.
In support of this position Air.
Douglass cited the case of the State
vs. Dozier and said that the present
grand jury was summoned to serve
for the term and not by the year.
Judge Frascr sustained the positions
taken by the counsel as to the
manner of service upon the jurors,
/

that the sheriff's affidavit that the
papers had been served at (he places
of business was not sufficient, and
that it ought to have been as pro
vided by statute?left at the places
of residence where the notices are
not served personally, and that it
ought to appear on the face of the
venire that the parties who assisted
the sheriff in summoning the jurors
were the sheriff's deputies.
That they did not so appear on
the venire, and that he could not go
outside of what appeared on the paper;
that, therefore, he would quash
the panel of petit jurors. With reference
to the question raised as to

ho would give that ::::?M:er further
consideration, for if he should come
to the conclusion that the panel
should bo quashed it would necessitate
the talcing of steps to get a new
grand jury for the next term of the
court.
IX CONSTANCY.
"All I hope of mortal man
Is to love mo, whilst he can."
In modern society there is such a
constant change, such a running to
and fro on the face of the earth, that
most people have very little time for
a constant friendship. A few weeks
or a few days in a country-house
will make people very intimale, and
the sanguine young heart will often
fix its deep affection on some person
who has a hundred other admirers,
and who, go id naturedlv expressing
esteem, misleads the object of it into
thinking that politeness ami congenial
views of things will lead to a
deeper and enduring liking. Hut. often
the next comer effaces that impression,
and the very qualities that
attract are precisely those that make
up for any loss of t he beloved society.
Silently and alone, the tender
heart mourns for one that, it thought
its brother, and hungers for sympathy,
applause, and comfort, convened
1 liivliioti liny 1 1ml k'litiW KI1 well It.iW
"I ? j
to speak from a brain so capable of
ministering to the yearning for love
and fellowship which it had inspired
and noted.
Most inconstants will plead that
their fault is excused by their possesion
the. nature of the "Last Duchess
They have a "heart too soon made
glad, too easily impressed, and it
would perhaps astonish most moralists
if they knew how many in the
present day would plead that excuse.
Many young ladies defer their marriage,
secretly owning to themselves
that they are afraid lest they should
marry the wrong person, and meet,
after the decisive act, some one whom
they loved better.
Almost all youngnien, if tolerably
good-natured and politely bred, are
ready to fall in love with any girl,
and as ready to fall out of love, too.
The consummate knowledge of
the human heart which was given to
Shakespeare, has made him picture
Romeo, that type of an Italian lover
warm as the sunset skies of his own
fair land, as actually in love with
another lady when ho meets Juliet.
In the first scene of the play his
words to Renvoiio are:
"Farewell! thou canst not teach me to for
get."
And yet, in a sconce or two further
r?i> lin lma mponttftii I'ou-iliml foe
Juliet! Such is the charm of the
play that the ordinaly reader thinks
nothing of his inconstancy. Warm
and excitable natures that love intensely
Jove with constancy; their
passion is like a lire among thorns,
it soon goes out, yet it is very tierce
during its continuance. They do
not. deem themselves inconstant, but
would sooner lay the fault on others
than fhemeolves.
Inconstancy in the lover presupposes
a want of power in the victim
or sufferer, as well as a variation in
the guilty party. As a rule, a man
marries not the actual woman that
ho sees, hut the ideal that lie has
formed of that woman; and she, on
her part, would be wise if she acted
upon that ideal.
I'lvcn the most fickle of all people,
the French, demand constancy, at

devoted being, abandoned, betrayed,
left in poverty and misery, turns out
at the end of the play to be true and
constant to the miserable, flighty,
selfish, and self-indulged butterfly
who runs after every new face, and
who does all ho can to show how
contemptible a man can make himself.
There is, however something
to be said for the iuconstants. They

are w/ak, and to bo weak is to be
miserable; they have no faith and (
no firmness; they are limp people,
without a moral backbone; they love
change; their very appetites are not
constant; they grow tired of house,
places, towns, and persons. They -j
admire strongly at first, but soon
fall oil. If they are the lirst to come '1
they are the firt to go. They have, h
for the most part, simple, child like a
natures, a wide perception of charac- 1
tor, and a delight in what is beauti- c
ful, !So it is in friendship and in 1
love; if wo are fixed in our affections 'I
wo bring to the loved person that t
which we luvc. t
The reward, as well as the merit,
is in ourselves. Truth is one. Love c
demands one sacrifice alone, but that
one is the whole heart- a rich dowry, i
if given truly, but a poor, contemp- t
tilde heritage if cut up and divided I
between many. v
Of all the pangs of which humani- 1
ty is susceptible, jealousy is the worst a
frequently it is an effect without t
cause a monster engendered in the e
imagination of its victim, feeding a
upon its heart and brain. r
It withers the rose upon (ho check a
of beauty, dethrones reason from its
judgment-seat, and gives the reins o
to passion. If is the punishment of a
tantalus without his crime. To the u
jealous min i madness would be a ro- d
lief and death a blessing. t<
Jealousy is a passion against
which persuasion and argument are o
vain; (he proofs which convince hut A
tend to confirm its fatal error. n
All attachments subside after a p
ti 1110 hut such as are founded on the v
solid basis of congenial tastes, dispo- a
sitions, and pursuits. li
We look back with anguish on t<
| many things, but on none with such o
bitterness of heart as on the unkind- si
ness of those who were once kind. e
liciil f rinndshin is no onmnion
blessing. Love is but ;i more agree- a
able modification of selfishness. I
When its object ceases to give pleas- e
arable sensations,love takes its rapid
flight; but friendship, sublime friend- t
skip, outlives deformity, age, and n
disease.?Laura .lean Libbey. i
(foil Bless Tlie Cranks.
The Chicago Herald. I
It is by 110 means the worst thing i
in the world to be called a crunk. I
find as 1 prowl up and down through
the earth that wherever 1 meet a r
man with sufficient individuality to r
take a stout stand against impurity ,,
and shams of every kind, too honest ^
to get rich by underhanded methods H
and too brave to be a cowardly conformist,
lie is called a crank. Wher- s
over a woman is found who thinks c]
more of her brain than of the hat ^
that surmounts it, she is a crank. ^
Wherever a man is found who hon- s
estly believes that life holds hotter v
things than to become a dancing t
popinjay and a social success by reason
of fine clothes and society man- c
ners, who would rather wear a shiny 0
seamed coat and an unfashionable <.
hat, and thus gain the means to cultivate
his mind and enlarge his soul,
ho is a crank. Wherever a young :
erirl is found who hun/hs at fashion _
?=? o - il
and wears a gown to please herself, j
rather than to conform to a passing ^
style, who stands by a friend at the (j
risk of becoming unpopular, and who j,
is a law unto herself by the dictates ^
of her own pure, sweet, womanly
heart, she is a crank. Christopher s
Columbus was a crank, and yet
Chioago, after 400 years, is turning j
itself head over heels to do him a
honor. Ah, well, my dear, when c
you count on your lingers the world's c
famous cranks and note the outcomo j
of their crankiness, who would not }|
choose but go down upon the dc- (]
spiscd list?

Mr. Thnckston's reply to the ]
barges is as follows :
The editor and owner of the Pal- 1
nctto School Journal has been made
he target for some sharp shooting
>y a number of newspapers, many of
vhom have attempted to attribute to '
dm the lowest and meanest motives, 1
,ml have labored painfully to show

ml incipient rottenness.
The acts of the publication and its
wner and editor arc always unionhie
to a just and fair public sentilent.
Nothing has been done in the
ark. There has never bten any atmipt
to conceal anything.
The Journal came into possession
f its present, owners some time last 1
[arch. Homo negotiations were 1
uulc with a gentleman who is a :
rinter in Columbia, looking to- !
uvrds the printing of the Journal 1

cation in order to advertise his goods

d. Since that time no ono hut inyclf
has in any manner boon interestd
in the Journal financially or othrwisc.
No one has been solicited in
ny manner, directly or indirectly, to
icconie interested financially or othrwise.
ll was with a nrofund conviction
hut such a publication could bo
nude a great power for good in the
mprovement of the administration
>f the affairs of the schools in tho
State, that induced me to assume the
mblication of tho Journal. This
>elief was strengthened by the expeience
of other States.
The Pennsylvania School Journal,
iow about GO years old, is the most
lot able instance and is the oilicial
rieans of communication between
ho department of education and
chool officers.
At one time in Virginia the stato
uperintendent of education made a
lirect contribution from state funds
o the support of the school publicaion
of that State. I am not in a poition
to say, but think the amount
vas something like one third of its
otal expenses.
The State superintendent of edu
lation of Arkansas is associato editor
?f the journal of education of that
>tate.
A former state superintendent of
ducation of Alabama was jointed- *
tor of the Educational Exchange,
nd conducted an official department
u the same. Ho still retains his inerest
and edits the publication in
[iistion, while an ofticial department
i conducted by the present superin- 1
endent of education of that state. i
A careful study of the schools and i
chool system of the state, as well as
,n experience of six or more years
uul lead to the belief that a better
dministration of tho affairs of the
ommon schools, under the present
ircuinstancc can only be had by givng
the trustees more light and more
issistancc in tho discharge of their
lutics.
The only question was how to
each some 2,100 trustees, according
o report of superintendent of edncaion
for 1800.
After a good deal of thought the
d in whioh has brought so much
nath upon my head was deemed
easiblo by mo and a proposition to
hat effect was mado to the State
>oard of examiners.
The result of this was announced
n a doublo leaded page in tho April
mmbor of the journal fn. 263^ whinh
vas published about tho last of Apil
or first of May. This announcement
was followed by a circular lotor
which has been published. That

yas not in any manner concealed or
tidden.
There was no scheming to filch mony
from the taxpayers to get somehing
for nothing. In no way were
rustees forced to take the journal,
rhe matter was entirely voluntary,
irst with tho commissioners, then
vith the trustees. If any persons or
lewspapcrs desire to impugn the
uithoritv of tho state board of ex
imincrs the courts are open.
The Journal has nover contained
)ne lino that could in any manner be
construed as political or partisan.
Nothing lias been done that could bo
construed to be an attempt to "boom"
politically or otherwiao any person.
It's aim is openly and avowedly for
the promotion of he educational interest
of the state.
The most searching investigation
is cordially invited. The result will
show that in no thought or act, have
any but the purest motives for the
best interests of the common schools
of the State, prompted by any action
as an individual or otherwise.
The above is a plain simple statement
of tho facts and with these noted
I am quite willing to bo judged
by a fair minded and discriminating
public. W. J. Thackston.
Superintendent Johnson was seen
by The World-Budget representative
to day, and in speaking of the matter
Mr. Johnson said that there was
nothing unusual in the board of examiners
endorsing a journal and
authorizing county treasurers to pay
for if out of the school funds. He
mid that within his own experience
us member of tho board several(map8
and charU had boon adopted just as
tho journal was, and treasurers were
authorized to pay for them for county
boards.

says: In every county where the
Alliance has nominated candidates

withdraw from the party

Better Than Ice Water.
In Great Britian, for toilers in
hot places and heavy labor, as in
e. .1 ? .1 ! . ?ii i i ..
ioununes iina iron mm, n anna is
recommended that is pronounced
better than ice water; better thau
the foaming ale when it is brown,
bettor ihan beer or any of the mild
drinks by which hot and thirsty men
cool their throats. This is simply
oatmeal water.
It is made in a small quanity by
putting two tablespoonsfnl of oatmeal
into a glass and then stirring
in cold water. When the mixture
is settled the liquid is drunk off it.
This drink is more refreshing than
either beer or simple water. The
oatmeal in it is nourishing, so that
the man who takes it gets both food
and drink. The iron workers
throughout Europe use this preparation,
and the temperate men among
them declare that it is much better
than either ale, beer or porter. To
make it in larger quantities, add
slightly over half a pound of oat
meal to a gallon of water. Among
the laborers in tho Brooklyn navy
