THE WORLD FOR 188G
Denjocrats everywhoro should Inform
tnorofielves carefully alike of the action
of their party throughout the country
and the movements of their Republican
opponents. A failure to do this in 1876
OOUtrlbiited tfreatiy to the loss by the
Democracy ,of the fruits of the victory
fairly wop a,t the polls.
The year 1880 promises to be one of the
most interesting and tmpoitant years of
t'dscrowded and eventful century. It will
witness a Presidential election which may
result in re-establishing the Government
of this country oh* the principles of its con
stitutional founders, or in, permanently
chioiging the relations of the States to the
Federal power. No intelligent man .can
regard speh an election with Indifference.
The Worldi, its .the only daily English
newspaper published In the city of New
York which upholds the doctrines of con
stitutional Democracy, will steadily retire-
sent the Democratic party in this great
canvass. It will do this in no spirit of
servile partisanship, but temperately and
firmly. As a newsnaper The World, being
the organ of no man, no clique and no in
terest, will present the fullest and the
fairest picture It can make of each day's
passing history in the city, the State, the
country ami the world. It will aim here
after, as heretofore, at accuracy first of
all things in all that It publishes. No man,
however humble, shall ever be permitted
truly to complain that he has ticn un
justly dealt with In the columns of The
World.. No Interest, however powerful,
shall ever be permitted truly to boast that
It can silence the fair criticism of The
World,

Kvklyn.
Apart from the mystic Import of the
mimortal tree on which our Saviour Buf
fered on Calvary, there are many curi
ous Bpec'iiatione and legends concern
ing the history and natiireof the wood
of which it was formed. An ancient
legend referred to in the Gospel of
Nicodemus, Curzon’s Monaaterles of
the Levant.Didron’s Iconography, and
many other work^, carries the history
of the Cross back afl far as the tlme.of
Adam. Tha substance of itisasfol-
Iowm : Adam one day 'fell sick, and
sebt his son' Seth to the Garden of
E len to ask the guardian angel for
some drops of the oil of mercy, dis
tilled from the tree of life. The angel
replied that none could have that tilt
5 thousand years bad passed,but gave
him a slip of the tree, which was after
wards planted on Adam’s grave and
grew into a beautiful tree with three
branches. Some accounts differ and
say that the angel gave Seth three
seeds, whlgh he planted under Adam's
tongue, ffom.Which tiny grew Into cy
press, cedar, and pine. These were
subsequently carried away by Moses,
who cut his rod from them, and King
David trasplanted them near a foun
tain at Jerusalem, where they grew
into one magnificent tree. Under its
unbrttgeous shade be composed bis
Psalms and lamented his sins. His
son Solomon afterwards cut it down
for a pillar in his Temple, but no one
was able to fix it there. Some say It
was preserved In the Temple, while
others aver, with equal probability,
that It formed a bridge screes a marsh
which the Queen of Sheba refused to
pass, being deterred by a
vistox or its rrruRi durdci.
It was afterwards buried In the Fool
of Rcthsalda, thereby accounting for
the healing properties possessed by Its
waters. At the Passion it floated, and
was taken for tbs upright beam. Henry
Maundrell speaks of a Greek convent,
about half an hour’s distance from
Jerusalem, where they showed him a
tar, wberethe stumpof the tree stood.

are now In active operation In the
State, each with a full and earnrat
corps of competent instructors, many
of whom enjoy a wide reputation in
thflr special departments. Tbe Char-
Iweton College, now nearly one hundred
years old, has long enjoyed tbe eonfi-
dence and support of an Intelligent
public. In the upper part of the State,
Newberry, Ereklne, Adg^r and Wc’-
ford Colleges, and the Furman Uni
versity furnish all tho advantagea of a
higher educ.vIon. Theee institutions
are uuder tbe control of different re
ligious denominations.
Newbeny College Is tbe property of
the Lutherans, and during tho past
year bus received an encouraging sup
port. It has an able and experienced
faculty. Ereklne College wae estab
lished to 1842, and has graduated more
than three hundred pupils. It baa an
endowment fund of 475,000, about
$15,000 of which was saved from tbe
old endowment of $70,000 which the
Institution bad before the war. It is
the ^property of the Associate Re
formed Presbyterian Church and is
offleered by a full faculty of superior
teachers.
Adger College at Waihalla Is still In
its infancy but has now been running
for about tea yeara, with exceptional
success.
Wofford College at Spartanburg was
established by Hen. BonJ. Wofford,
one of tho most generous hearted
philanthropists''of Ms day. It has
now been in existence for mofe than a
quarter of a century, anil has done
much to Improve Ole educational con
dition of the border counties., -
At Greenville the Furman Universi
ty holds a comraand.lng position. The
Baptists own this venerable institu
tion. Without greater liberality on
the part of the church which owns
this fine old school it will be forced to
close its doors.
In addition to true Institutions the
Claflin University at Orangeburg furn
ishes collegiate advantages to the col
ored people.
Military academies are established
at Greenville, Yorkvllie and Charles-
tbfiT They are well patronized.
Not until a comparatively recent
date in the history of our State were
there any large institutions for the
educatfon of our women. Now, how
ever, there are six flourishing semina
ries devoted to their Instruction In all
the arts and sciences. These schools
ore also most liberally supported.
Measures were taken by the last
Legislature to open the Agricultural
Department of the State University,
and the day is hot distant when the
old South Carolina College, so long
the crowning orna^nent of our educa
tional system, will be re-established
upon a substantial basic. But the
e ’oundatlon underlying ouf higher
tional advantages Is to be found
eicellent publio school system
which has cost the tax payers a deal

by a bull of Pope Alexander the Third.
In tho thirteenth century what re
mained of the portion taken by Helena
to Constantinople was removed during
the reign of St. Louis to Paris, and is
said to bo stiil preserved in the Salote
Chapelle. Sergius the First Is ealtTjLo how few girls of
have placed a portion of the cross in a
silver bolt in St. Peter’s Cathedral,
about A. D. 690. A supposed rellqjjf
the true er >HS wae preserved in the
Tower of London as late as the reign
Of James the First. ^ -
Such is the history of the Invention,
or discovery,of tho cross^ which bad
once so many upholder anti believers.
The superstitions with which we have
now to deal are connected with the
species of trees of which th'e cross Was
thought to have been composed. The
general belief is that it was made of
tbe elder-tree ; therefore, though fuel

In Chamber’s Book of Days is an

has taught that this Isa fallacy, al

Dyer la his English Folk-lore, says
that tha croas was made of the aspen

Among the varlouanattractlonsof an
attractive girl, there are few which
impress one so pleasantly as beautiful
hands—so especially a feminine charm
—suggestive of tSnder rearing, of pur
ple and fine linen, of harp strings and
dainty silk embroidery. But, then,

sorvation of this beauty compatible
with the unselfish performance of the
homely duties life, holds for them.
How Is it possible, with perpetual
sweeplnr,dusting and dabling lo water,
to preserve soft, white, lady-like hands?
Gloves will aid In this, bujt they will
not do It altogether.
The thought, that one’s hands are
two or throe shades darker than the
the round, white arms which the
pretty, girlish fashion of elbow sleeves
displays, is by no means a gratifying
one. Should Vanity dietun) you by
sdeh pficklug thoughts, think a mo
ment, girls, how It came about that
the arms rival tho<hands In whiteness.
Was It from a want of care tn keep
yourselvts pretty and attractive as
nature made you ? If f»r>, you deserve
the prickings of Vanity, and I hope
she will use sharp needles that will do
their work effectually'; rof no one has
the right to mar, unnecessarily,
nature's handiwork. But, If this is
not the case—if the soft, white akin nf
reaay, willing, little bands baa been
hardened and tanned hy tha untiring
assumption of the task* of others, then,
make Vanity blush and hide her face
for shame, by showing her bow much
! rou have gained at tbe loss of how
ittle.
But after all what are beantifal
hands? I suppose it Is eaaentlal that
they should be soft. Havs you ever
felt a softer or more soothing touflh
than that of your mother’s hands?
Yet, It bM not occurred to you to ex
amine if the akin be white, tbe vetos
blue, the fingers .tapering aod ths
hands, altogetbsr, shapely. If you
had done so, yon would probably have
found that they possess none of tbaae
theoretically essential characteristics ;
and yet, I am sure that to you. your
mother's bands are beautiful hanaa.
Don't spoil tho sweet serenity of
your faces by frowns, caused by the
sight of brown bands. Remember that
appearances do flot count tor ttfacb,

From Anselm, Aquloaa, and others
we learn that me upright beam was
made of tbe “immortaf cedar,” the
cross-beam of cypress, the piece on
which the instruction was written of
olive, and the piece for the feet of
palm; hence tha line :
Llgna cruets palms, codrns, cupressits,
ollva.
Sir John de Maundeviilc’s account
of tbe legend differ* from this. He
says tbe piece athwart wav made of
‘ victorious palm,” the tablet of “peace-
ful olive,” the trunk of the tree of
which Adam had eaten, and tbe stock
of cedar, fckune veralons aay that It
was ma^e of fir, pine; and box; other*
of cypress, cedar, pine anti boT; one
names oedar for tbe snpport of the
feet, cypreas for the body, palm for
the bands, and oHve for ths title.
Bouthey, in his Commonplace Book
and Omniana, says that ths four kinds
of wood were symbolical of tbe four
quarters of the globe, or all m&nblod.
Home affirm that the cross was made
entirely of the itately oak. Chaucer,
speaking of the Bleesed Virgin, says :
Bealgne braunchletof the pine tree.
The legend of
THE INVENTION OF THE CROSS,
on ft is called, refers to Its supposed
discovery by Uelana, the mother of
Gon&tantjae tbe Great, In Eusebius,
A.-XL, 320. This “invention”, was com
memorated oh tbe third of May(tbough
many different dates and festivals
have been observed in its honor), and
is related by Ruflnue. Rocrates, Theo-
doret, Nicephorus, Gretscher, Hospio-
lan, Durandus, and Sozomen ; it was
also supported by Cyril of Jerusalem,
Ambrose, Chrysostom, Tillemont, and
Jortin. Helena was visiting Jerusa
lem at the age qT seventy-nine, and
there found tbre^ crosses buried, and
tbe title of Pilate lying by Itself. The
true cross was only discovered by its
healing properties oji being touched,
the trst being applied by Macarius,
Bishop of Jerusalem. A church was
erected over the spot where the cross
es were foupd, and most of the true
cross was deposited inside, Helena
taking the remainder to Byzantium.
From thence she sent a portion to
Rome by Constantine, who placed Itin
the church of Santa Croce Gerusaiem-
m«, built expressly for the purpose.
From this time festivals were estab
lished and pilgrimages undertaken,
while fragments of the cross were sold
at high prices. It was soon found
that tbe supply was not equal to the
demand, and the wily priests, to meet
this exigency and account for the
superabundance pf the relic (“sufficient
to build a fleet/’ say some writers),
announced to the multitude that it no
longer healed but self-multiplied. Dur
ing the episcopate of Cyril, A. D. 350—
386, this was shown and honored
tbe true croas at Jerusalem. After the
capture of Jemsalem by the Persians,
In A. D. 614, the remains of tbe cross
were taken by Chosroes the Second to
bis capital. They werS however, re
covered by Heraclfus Id A. D. 628, and
taken back to Jerusalem. This event
waicommemorated by the festival of
the Exaltation of the croas, held on
their practical

which before that event used to be a
