TaE RAnleALS NOW wish they had
made Hayes-t slowly.
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,

frauds failed to pass because thirty
Democrats wore absent, and the'
Republicans, by refusing to vote,
defeated a quorum. 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

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.

11hEMARES ON SItING.-.-Spring Is
generally one of the four seasons, I
and usualy occurs during the
forepart of the year. 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

bhought shnah I was going to take

lat court; but when do other
awyer got ip and commenced talk
ng, I know I was the biggest rascal
