A drivp of eight miles in an open top
buggy, accompanied by her with whom
kind destiny has linked me, drawn by
a staid old philosophical mulo under
tho piercing rays of the sun, as thvy
fell upon us at the hours-of 9 and 10
o’clock, and closely followed by a
ebuplo of melon carts drawn by two
other* extremely gentlafoembers qf the
same fabiily, brought ns to the church,
which is surrounded by a grqve of
oaks that eclipse in their beauty the
famous “Oaks,” tht^ pride of the pic
nickers of CharlestonV Arriving there
yoUr correspondent wad happlly sur
prised to find a much largirr crowd iu
attendahce than he had cxpoctexj. The
strenuous efforts of myself, together
wfth the propelling rays of the gain,
had failed to Impress the beast which
I drove with the,necessity of landing
me at the church in time to take my
chances In common with other visitors
In procuring seat room In the building,
but fay a little more perseverance than
decency and good behavior would have
approved, I succeeded in forcing an
entrance Into the buildfng which by
this time was crowded to overflowing.
As before stated, we failed to reach the
church before the commencement of
the exercises. Prayer apd the pasto
ral greeting by the Rev. John I'. Bulat
had been concluded and the flrstsong,
"Think on These Things,” which was
being beautifully illustrated by the
children when I entered tho church,
and Just ^ere, to begin with, I wjll de-
scribo the beautiful, and, to me, novel
manner in which this hyrpn was illus
trated." It seems that tho first lino of
each stanza of tho hymn begins with
a? appropriate word like the following,
true/hepeet, just, etc., and when the
choir, with the,able management of
Mrs. Dr, W^B. Rice, sounded tho first
word of the stanza some dear little
child would hang that word which was
written on a pretty card in,large letters
on the wall in the back ground of the
beautifully ojrnamented stage, and
when the chplr soundod the first word
of the second . stanza another child
would hang that word In line to the
right of the first, and soon. .W hen the
hymn.vrati finished the Adldren had in
that mannefhullt tho following Inter-
eetiqg, .though Incomplete sentence:
"Whatsoever things are true, honest,
just, pure, lively”—"good report’V-
vlrtue and praise,’' and, Immediately
below, on a somewhat larger card of a
similar kind Was bong, ut tho conclu
sion of the hymn, the imperative sen
tence and" namp of the hymn, "Think
on These Things.” Above, on the same
wall, was hung the greeting word
"Welcome” In largo and handsomely
wrought letters of variegated colors,
overhung by a crescent and encloaed
by a wreath. . „ .
Various recitations of poems by the
children and songs by tbe choir were
alternately rendered, being so varied
and select as to keep tho large a udleftce
spell bound tho cxerefSes.

At the close of the other exercises
Ool. J. C. Davaut, who had been invited
to address the school, delivered from
Ike subject of the “Child's Mission” an
address which, with my too limited

Mit. Editor': W+ll you allow mcc
space for a few suggestions On this
subject? ;. '' ' ' • ~ ' ■' *
1. I.et us nominate no man against
whom there is a suspicion of pecuniary
dishonesty. I once knew a man elect
ed by the help of tho votes of man/
who said, “I knew nothiug of the case, ’
that he had defrauded them -of sums
varying from ego dollar to several
hundred. Their patriotism prevailed
over their personal fooling, but they
would haVe supported another man
more cordially. It la not well to put
such a strain on men's patriotism. One
who will cheat hlh neighbor will Cheat
the public.
2. None who are guilty of dishonora
ble trickery to promote iheinselvct. or
to defeat an opponent. One who bps
no political honor has probably uot
much pecuniary {reneety.
3. "None of bad moral character, a
drunkard, a debnuebee or gambler
ought not tb have bis influence for
evil strengthened by eltSv^ibg him to
office among people professing to be
honorable, many of them pious. Our
State has not always been as careful in
this matter as sho should have been.
Intellectual and educational qualifi
cations are, of course, Important, bill
far less so than the foregoing, because
a talented and educated villain can do
more harm In office than an iguorunt
one, ,
But. how shall the Convention know ?
Nine-tenths of tho candidates will be
Grangers to olnedeuths of the mem
bers of the nominating convention.
This may be remedied in some meas
ure jf the executive pom/J^tteo will dc-
termloo that no name shall come be
fore the conventiohas not
been presented to evffjlTlub, or pub
lished In the. county papers, as the
committee may determine, at least one
month before the conventloh. v „
Notwithstanding the wlde-sxjread
corruption, wo have men of the high-,
est integrity and intellectually compe
tent to fill ajl our offices. Let us use
them. Make every candidate allvlng
^power, not a dead weight. Let us
make democracy in Bn ri i we B synono-
inous with political purity.

QCALIFICATlOjf >0. 3-PATRIOTISM.
The spirit of patriotism consists of
at least two elements, the love of coun
try pnd the etpployjnent of our cholc-:
oet powers, physical, Inlenectual and
moral, for the advancement of the in
terest, -honor and happiness of that
country. Every dthen whoao heart Is
warmed with the love of country, and
who is willing to devote his noblest
powers of mind and body to the ad
vancement of Its best Interest is efi.-
lliled not only to the name but the hon
ors of the patriot. TborO was a.day
when war was the most honorable call
ing, and then the professional soldier
held tbe Orst and highest claim to pa
triotism, but that ddy has passed
away, society has advanced and mar
tial spirit, achievements and renown
are no more regarded oS the exclusive
test or evidence of patriotism, and

not answer the above question in-the
affirmative, the public interest and

and honest hands. It wilt never do to
eend unprincipled moe to the-Legisla
ture ; men who are willing to mdn their
country if they can fill their own pock
ets with “filthy Iticre ’ and spread their

flvu dollars a flay and what spoils they
may gather through clap-trap means
while at, the Legislature.. These are
not.the men tha times demand ; they
will not fill the bill. The men we are
In search of are of a higher and nobler
class: They .are men whose characters
as public and private eltteena are
moulded and established with the so-
lidity -of granite; who at home or
among men, on land or sea, indicate
Incorruptible morals, firmness, Integ
rity and unselfishness, and if they lack
a knowledge of the acienoe of political
economy, yet their love of country,
their true devotion to ite best inter
ests, aa seen in all their public and
private acts, shine forth with tho pol
ish and lustre of Carrara marble, their
patriotism attested by acta both pri
vate and public, eeen.tn the home cir
cle or in the public life, in their self-
denials, privations, toils, sacrifices for
the (good of country, are fike so many
jcwhiled characters engraven upon
their entire life. Theseare the mCu
we heed for the next Legislature. Oh!
hori oor country would rejoice; how
prosperity would return to our land if
ourj legislative assemblies and public
bodies sbeuld be wholly made up of
uucjorruptible men, men of staunch
honor uHd uudeViating integrity, that
the.lobbyist and the bribe-giver dare
tot approach them, and where tbe
peotple could, with entire safety and
confidence, rely upon the. purity of
their public servants.
Fellow-citizens, we who are the foue-
tuid of power, at the next election
must, as far as we can, remove tbe
prison from the stream hild then re-

[XewsuHi Courier.]
Emaxo Islahd, July 20.—The great
Radical pow-wow cams off to-day, anti
the big lights of fho Republican party,
in the persons of Bowen, Mackey and
Taft, figured extensively. The meet
ing was a small gathering fot such a
stronghold aa the Radicals claim here,
not more than fifty men, women and
small boys composed tbe audience
and they manifesting no great Interest
iu what was going on, the Chairman
having to rap Very vehemently to at
tract the attention' of the crowd, who
very often were engaged In loud talk-'
ing, and for a short while gave their
attentlori^wjietber to tho loud tapping
or speaker is uncertain. . •
Mackey was the first speaker. He
dwelt at lengtfi: on the polling pre
cincts, what a fraud the Democrats
had perpetrated on tfie poor, Ignorant
colored man to deprive him of Ilia
rote, which the Republican party had
given them. For Instance, he said,
St. Andrew's Parish had no polling
precincts at all; the consequence was
If they went to Charlgeton or James
Island to vote, they would t>o b)ld that
was not theft precinct bhd they could
not vote. That tjio Democfats would
throw out thelf votes from Jhe box,
and that Hamptoh found so much talk
iu-BlacJcvlllC about carrying tbe elec
tion by fraud: that lie had assured the
people of a fair elccHon. If Hampton
was lofearnest, the Republicans would
give him an opportunity of Showing it
by pcfllihg a larger Republican ma-
jorltyln this county than ever before.
In tararleiton the Democrats were di
vided and consequently not as strong
as at tfce jaet efecUon', even at the
special election they had polled less
votes than'&t the general election. Ho
spoke of the crying shame of the Dem
ocrats turning out the Republican del
egation from Charleston county, then
of the rascalHy of the democratic pqr-
haraberlain was
ty;»—n
that while Mr. Chamberlain Was
Governor the Interest on tbe State
dept was paid; but now the
had refused to pay It, and thi
kind of reform they had promised.
on tbe stand and roiled out, "Fellow,
oittzens of ^disto Island,” he did it
with such vehemence, that ooe^really
-who- expected to hate a gradtt
of
nn
wm
eloquence; but the speaker!
back to days gone by te fix tbe atten
tion of a listless audience, and tell
them how the Republicans had waded
through a long and blupdy war for
the purpose of giving theta their free
dom, amFWere they going against that
party ? A faint cry, "Jjkr.” He spoke
of the great opposition In the Legisla
ture by tt^e Democrats to tbe sriiool
amendment, which had been passed
under whip and spur, after the people
had polled a majority of 80JXKI in fa
vor of fr, and were it. not for the Re.
publican vote It could not have gone
through, Gen. Gary using this lan
guage:- "Are you going to educate r
the niggers?” That tbe Democrats
sT
■boasted of- Hampton as thetr leader; ;matla odor IntHfifff; ,
' . . .v.. . • - __ ... • .... -t-u ■ i.-
but that the Republicans bad to cothe
Uf> to bla support bn all ocerihions. He
closed by advtslngttfae colored people
to put • honest men In officorif they
could, but stick to rascals if Rkpubli
cans. > ■> ■ ' ■ v
Mr. went over the same
ground ns the other epenkers ; said the
State waa carried by fraud and by vio-
lence at the last election. He dwelt
extensively on the poll tax law as an
infringement on the rights of the col
ored people ; that the Democrats not
only wanted them to pay the poll tax.
but the trial justices intended to charge
them five dollars more for collection If
they did not pay. He would assure
them that no man should - be impris
oned in Charleston jail for- not paying ;
i^ they bad the money to spare, with
out incommoding tbemselvep or family
they could pay: .otherwise, not to pay.
That the Democrats had lost their
chance of-eueoesa when they did not
take the ticket he made up at the spe
cial election placing ten Democrata on
it, arfd the reason they did not run a
ticket then was that he was sure of
defeat, it took money to carry on a
campaign in this county, and when his
party complained of not having a
ticket in the field be sent out W. H.
Thompson to raise money; he came
back with a single two dollar bill,
Which would not send their ballots to
James Island. They had only come
now to reorganize the Republican par
ty; would be back three or fur times
during the campaign. •

Astonifeliins; I'entM of Jugglery
iu the r.ast.
I was smoking my chibouk on the
wide verandah of a bungalow, or gov
ernment inn, one day In Northern In
dia. It was in January, but tho weather
was intensely hot, and my Dakgahrra,
With Its rough, untrained horses, had
stopped here for a midday rest. My
Hindostonee servant, with an unpro
nounceable name, whom I had 'nick
named “Handy Andy” on account of
certain unhandy ways, and a merry
twinkle (>nhe eye that indicated no
lack of H.bernian humor, came up the
por?h, and, with a salaam, said:
“Would sahib like to' see conjurer
make trickn?” " fen, bring him ob.”
I suspected the fellow was conairiting
his own fondresA for amusement more
than miue, but it was too hot to sleep,
and I was ready for anything that
would kill time. A tA!l, fine-looking
Hindoo, wirii a clear-cut, intelligent
face, and eyes that looked straight at
you, with no'indiedtion of ‘‘ways that
are drrk and tricks that ate vain,”
next appeared on the seene, He was
dressed in the Utdlnary long white
robe of Ids race, with a rich cashmere
shawl wound round his waist, and his
oalutation and manners were respect
ful, without the least shade of servili
ty. He was followed by two attend
ants; carrying tbe various Implements
of bis profession, which they spread
out before him, and a donen hr two
hangers-on of all ages grouped them
selves at a respectful distance to en-
’joy the free show. The ground In
front of the bungalow was paved with
large, flat btonr'rs, and upon - one' of
thtse the conjurer seated himself, curl
ing his legs uuder him in orfcntal fash
ion, and asked in ftlndoostanec “What
special trick would the aahlb like to
see?” At the sftme time he bared hts
a^ms, ^mg, well-formed, but uot mus
cular, and untied his shawl to open his
robe and show me that there was no
concealed mechanism about Lie per
son. 1 told toim through Handy Andy
that I would like tc haVe hiqi perform
themaugo trink—which I had seen
once before at Delhi without bring
able to penetrate its mysterlcri. He
nodded adeem, and taking a box about
ten inches square filled it with earth,
and in It planted a mango nut, about
the size of ad-fSoglish walnut; having
first banded if to trie for examination.
H» then made a Iratnework or tripod,
of three bricks, six or eight feet long
and tied together at the top, placed It
over the-box, and covered the wholo
with a piece of white muslin. - The only
thing thus for that looked like charla
tanism was a muttered incantation,
rolling up Ms eyes, with Outstretched
palms, as if appealing for aid to some
higher power.
Again seating himself not saoro than
tea fee* iff-front of the tornndah, he
went through the most astonishing
perflrmhnces of sleight-of-hand tricks,
such as swatlowfog swords, tossing
baH* la the ajfrr drawing from hie
curious things he did for nearly.ah
hour, with the modi intense gravity of
raan&er, and an air of candor that
would disarm suspicion. My eyes
werttwidefOpen, and I - wqtohed him ,sb
intently as scarcely to wink, and yet I
was unable to detect a single flaw, or
account for one of those transforma
tions. Some of tbe triclfs he repeated
at my request, but the iresult w&» the
same. At the orilical moment his mo
tions were as quisk as lightning. In
all cases where fire was used I noticed
that he either poured some liquid of

it was a real'tree by breaking oiT a

Tbe wonderful trieks of the conjurer
and juggler, which mre Sometimes
witueesed in oriental countries, may
well make one distrust tbe e-ddeuee of
ins senses. Whfle I claim to be spe
cially matter of fact, without the slight,
est faith iu the supernatural, I litr e in
vain puzzled my brain to account, for
the modus operaudi, and sometimes
rubbed my eyes to make sate 1 was
not dreaming. It excited my wonder
and admiration to witness tho skill
and rxpertness of the performers, but
I never for a moment doubted that it
was a trick which could bo rutioae.ily
explained, in the East the profession
of a conjurer inspires dread. He is
looked upon as in league with the devil.
Tho ordinary oriental mind does not
seek to pcnetiato his secret, but takes
it^for granted that be possesses super
natural powers. His imagination te
easily excited, and the belief in magic
Is universally accepted as a part of his
religious creed. In tho holy books of
Buddha tho magic aits open a short
road to obtain that perfection of power
and wisdom'which culminates in the
cessation of sensible existence. The
more refined and learned class of Bud
dhists repudiate and despise the gross
er exlrlijittoitis of common magic and
charlatanism, but hs the cemmon peo
ple will not dispense with these mar
vels, every great monastery keeps a
conjurer who does not belong to the
brotherhood of tho convent and la al
lowed to marry. Tbeso practitioners
possess no literature, but hand down
the secrets of .their art by tradition.
In India conjuring as well as snake
charming is a hereditary profesfioh,
and-thelr mystlo practices arc trans
