THE UNITED STATES Senate has passed a bill repealing the bank rupt law, to take effect in Septem ber. If the House concurs in the amendments and the bill becomes a law, the sound of the bankrupt mill will soon cease. INDIOATIONs ARE TUAT Smalls and Rainey will be unseated, and a now election ordered in their districts. Messrs. Tillman and Richardson will doubtless be chosen to succeed them. The presence of Smalls in Congress, day after day, after hav ing been sentenced to the State penitentiary is enough to disgust any one. Tux ZAcu CIHANDLERS, Of the Re, publican party, are in a deplorable state of anguish in anticipation that the Democrats will control both houses of Congress in 1880, and will count in their candidate for president, regardless of the will of the people. The Electoral Com mission is a precedent for all kinds ? . of frauds. It is this fear that impels the Radicals to make such earnest efforts to control the next house. TSE NATIONAL PARTY has made immense strides in the past year. It cast over fifty thousand votes in Pennsylvania last fall, and ten thousand in Maine this spring, besides carrying a number of cities and counties in other States. Its leaders claim the balance of power in nine States. The objective point of the party at present is to hold the balance of power in those Legis latures that are to elect United States Senators. The Nationals are a fusion of the Greenback men and labor reformers. A GREAT MANY years ago, when Washington was a much greater man than he now appears to be considered, a colossal monument in his honor began to be built. Asso A -ciations were formed in every State, and subscriptions from all sides poured in. Even foreign nations contributed tablets and ornameontal stones to the work. The design was a pantheon, a hundred feet high, topped by a shaft rising full six hundred feet higher. It was to be a big thing. two hundred feof; nearer Heaven than any structure over previously erected, except the tower of Babel. The engineers in charge laid a foundation only eight feet deep, on clay and sand. When S the monument was a hundred and ~' eighty fet high the foundation sank, deflboting the shaft an inch or so from the perpendicular. Engineer,. Ing, stupidity and a cessation of public spirit manifested in the way of subscriptions, brought the work to an Impotent conclusion. There it *has rested for years, a disgrace to the country. Congress has just waked up to the situation and pro.. poses to complete the work, on a Arednced scale, if it be found that ,the foundation can be strengthened. 6 Its1 estimated that three hundred Ythousand dollars will erect the pile ~ L. ~o hp niod.est hejght of four hun red and eighty- Sve feet. The Qmpletion of a monument to the nian that never told a lie will be a plessing evidence of a great moral anworthy Kembers, There are justabout thirty Demo v...

A reasonable attondance of the dominant party would ensure a quorum, without a Radical vote. The Democratic House, as a whole, is not covering itself with glory. The people should look after their servants. Congressmen are paid five thousand dollars a year to attend to their business, not to go jnnkoting around, or return home and lay the wires for ro-election. If the present mem bers are not willing to do the work for the money and the honor, others can be found who will. A JOKE THAT'S NO JOKE.-Eli Per kins send the Courier-,ournal this: 'E0liT1erkins stood looking at one 'of the new silver dollars, and, seeing on one side 'In God we trust,' and on the other 'United States of America,' sadly remarked : I knew we were. becoming very wicked in this country, but I never thought that I would live to see the (lay when God and the United States would bo on opposite sides. Arise and sing "-BA. We presume "Eli Perkins" has sent this joke--as ho does every one he makes or steals to every leading paper in the United States. As a m,tter of fact, the words "In God we trust" and "United States of America" are on the same side of the now dollar. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDEcE.-yudge Mackey is now engaged in the preparation of a voluminous work on circumstantial evidence which will be issued from the press later in the year, and will become of the standard author ities on that branch of the law. His experience and condition peculiarly fit him for such work. The people were much plensed with the Judge, who presided with dignity and fairness andl dis patched business with rapidity at the term of court for this county just closed. In quickness of per ception and in a thorough under standing of the law Judge Mackey nas no superior on the judicial bench in this State.--Abbcville Me dium. TmNos NOT T Do.-Never be lieve, much less propagate, an ill. report of a neighbor without good evidence of its truth ; never listen to an infamous story handed to you by a man who is inimical to the person defamed, or who is himself apt to defame his neighbors, or who is wont to sow discord among brethren and excite disturbanco in society. Never utter the evil which you know or suspect of anoth nr, till you have an opportunity to expostulate with him. Never sp)eak evil of another while you are under the influence of envy and malevolenco, but wait till your spir,. its are cooled down, you may better judge whether to utter or suppress the matter. THE DEAD 01F TIHi.jATrE WAR-Tihe Provost Marshal General has comn pleted a careful compilation, fr'om the muster rolls, of all the deaths in battle, from wvounds and disease, in every regiment and company of every loyal State, from the begin, ning to the close of the war. From it, it appears that 276,739 officers and men lost their lives in the service. Of this number 5,521 commissioned officers and 90,886 enlisted men were killed in action or died of wvounds, while 2,531 commissioned ohicers and 182,326 enlisted men died of disease or, in few cases, from accident. DEATH OF HON. '. C1. PERR7N.-A special dispatch to the .News and Qourier, from Abbeville, dated May 14, announces the death of Hon. Thomas C. Perrin, of palpitation of the heart. Mr. Perrin was seventy three years of age, and during his long life had commanded the friendship and esteem of his fellow. citizens. He~ had practiced at the bar of Abboville for fifty years, and had held various positions of honorI and trust, having been a good nmana ger of business affairs as wvell as a popular and distinguished public man. He has handed down his name to posterity as theas~t signer of the immortal "Act of Secession," besides having represented his coun. ty in the General Assembly for a series of years, and having been for a long time the president of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company. Mr. Perrit's death was very sudden, he having been sick onlyr two hour~s, and the community was painfully startled by the sad in telligence. A far-sighted miss of seventeen summers has conchided to marry a big znan for her first husband, apad a little one for the second, so that she cau out the ekthes of the Airet down, and make them over to fit his suc cesso. .

It is a great' improvement on winter, and lovers, poets and people hail it with 1 delight. 1 In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts oft, going to work-very lightly. Spring unfolds her glorious and abundant stores and presents us with every. thing but the money to buy them with, and the consequence is that a young fellow has to go to work or continue to board with the old'man. The contagious and virulent spring fever carries off more people, (to bed, or lays them gently to sleep in the shade of the mournful willow, or any other handy tree,) than all the othcr diseases of the season. A deccetiou of peach sprout has been known to allay it a little in boys to be shaken while taken. The business-like bumblebee now goes along singing at his work, and le occasionally bumbles small bare. footed boys who chase him for a butte. fly. Now is the time when the pro cocious boy leaves a vacancy at his desk at school and goes off down the creek to study the beauties of nature and play soven-up. Now is the time when the en chanting rural landscape stretches away so lovely and grand that the pooreBt of us almost wishes he owned whole acres of it. Now is the time when the good wife is out in the yard with sun, bonnet and old gloves on, and broom in hand, directing her husband how to rake up all his old boots and shoes, and old hats and paper collars, and old boot-jacks and tin cans, while he wonders, (without pausing) why in the world it is that she manages to do such a large amount of talking to such little work :i!; s;he does. HOSPITABLE BEYoND HER MEANS. A clergyman traveling in the mountains of West Virginia put up for the night at the house of a pious lady who never refu.ed to entertain strangers, less haply an angel might be turned from her door unawares. Shortly after his arlival supper was announced, and tie old lady after a blessing had been in voked, began to rattle the cups and saucers preparatory to the matronly ceremony of pouring out and handing around the hot coffee. 1 t was customary to make the in quiry, and therefore the good dame, with a gracious smile, inquired of her guest : "Do you take sugar in your'n ?" "If you please," replied the hun gry and thirsty evangelist, "and I'll be obliged to you if you will make it to'erably sweet." The old lady began to twist in her chain, adjust her spectacles, and .look searchingly around the table. She dipped the spoon desperately into the blue china sugar bowl, but it rattled ominously against the sides of the emp)ty vessel. At last the summoned courage to tell the truth. With admirable pluck and candor, she opened her mouth and spake, and the words that reached thle ear of her guest were these: "Stranger, we hai n't it."---Char. CURING U'rs.-Accidental cuts from knives, cutting tools scythes, etc., are more likely to occur on the face and limbs than on the body. All that is requisite in general is to bring the p)arts together as accurate Jy as possible, and to bind them up this usually done by adhesive plaster, wvhen the cut ceases to bleed. Nothing i3 so) go)od for th)is purpose as paper previously washed over on cne side with a thick gum water, and then (dried ; when 1used it isI only to be wvetted with the tongue. WVhen the cut bleeds but little it is well to soak the part in wvarm water for a fewv minutes, or keep a wet ' cloth on it. This removes inflam nation and pain and also a tendency j to fainting, wvhich a cut gives some *i persons. If the bleeding be too a copious dab the part with a rag wetted with creosote. At Sandusky, Oh$io, in a recent case, a juryman wvho couldn't read or vrite, got a friend to prepare him a lot of "yes" and "no" ballots ; put, ting one ret in one vest pocket andt the other in another, so that|ho;could tell which way he was voting. But he got so absorbed in the testimony that wvhen he camno to vote "yes," he forgot which pocket held the right ballots and kept on voiig "no" against the solid affirmative of his associates, until one of them found out how the matter stood, and the vote was made unanimnouse. Mr. Gree SAutsh, the son of 3erritt Smith, once told an inquir.. ing friend that he and his father had a deuce of a time in the Adirondacks, drinking brandy andt water. "What!I" said tho astorfished friend, "Qerritt Smith drink brandy and water t" A Detroit negro prisoner on his vay to the penitentiary, for larceny, vas asked what he thought of his rial. He said, "When dat lawyer lat fended ne made his speech I bhought shnah I was going to take ny ole hat and walk right out of lat court; but when do other awyer got ip and commenced talk ng, I know I was the biggest rascal )n top of de earf."
