L M1o the Neo York World. ] A Kentucky newspaper brings us an interesting story of a young woman of that State who placed a number of duck's eggs in her gentle breast and warmed thln into ex - istence, as benevolent people are reprosented to do with adders. This compassionate young lady's notion was more or less laudable, according as we discover whether there was any selfsdenial in the matter. If she was one of the superfluous women such as abound in Massachusetts she can perhaps be dismissed with a low inced of praise, inasmuch as she niy have acted from merely utilitari in mo tives or from the dosire to obtain a pet in whom she shou(ld have some gratefil sense of property and depu ty-motherhood. As comparcd with Skyo terriers, tabby-cats and even street Arabs, the duckling has, too, the advantage that it can be eaten. If, on the other hand, this young woman had admire! s, or a lover, the duck's eggs which she charished in her bosont m-ty be re garde:1 as similar to the cogn to poas of penitence that other sinners were wont to we rr in their boots upon p inful pigrimages-or chkn to ts. coll tir of spkik .dud w,>o. yokut Ce~-tiorl by Olient.d (1evok.e0es Ill.m.> ifiattion i of e fiasi. i c wou timeo it shudbo t IN , zMy I)nn)mWee I tt, ;n b tin), otlorNifiso LA.u cojCnseqees wi-l be fat il to Socii(bility, for a plimp youlg woinan cai.rged wit1 it ctca of tggs is no more to be takcn to one's arms thin a wet Newfuimnd land dog. There are, however, places where the heat of the hum m ody is systomatically. utilized for incubation. Mr. Frank Buekland has written that in certain districts of England where the goose is much cultivated the cause of education suffers because the people keep their children at home to hatch out the eggs, which. are placed with them in warm beds. .There is probably a good 1e.d to be said on both sides of the qosetion here pre. sented. It is desirable that the agricultural laborers of the futuro should be able to read and write, but might riot this boon be pur chased at too great a cost if it involve:1 the scarcity of geese, stubble and other? Men have been authoritatively defined as of greater value than many birds, but the birds in question were sparrowvs, and the sparrow is notoriously pug nacio us, philoprogen itive, greedy and deceitful. There is also this to be said about the profession of goose-egg hatching.-it is a sed,. entary occupation whlolly incom patible with what the ulliterative Algernon has described as the roses and roptures of Viee. The infant incubator who attends strictly to business cannot stone cats, steal apples, smash windows and attach pernicious parasitic pans and kettles to, the stem of stray dogs. The mind, too, has ample opportunity for deliberate and thorough reflec tion. Indt ed, so valuable does this system of incubation seem, either when regarded as a discipline or an occupation, that we cannot but regret that it has not .heen long ere now introduced into this country. There are scores and scores of eminent statesmen that could be utilized in- this manner. It would have been money in the Republican p arty's pocket had Mr. Stanley Matthewvs, for instance, beeni in. duced to concentrate his energies on the incubation of three dozen anserine eggs, duly proteeted by an armor of down with a three...inch packing of felt. There are thbou sands of poets, book agents, lectur ers, people who cross their logs while riding street cars, basoe.ball players, Oolorado orphans, authors of "Beautiful Snow," exchange fiends, -K(earneys, etc., etc., who might be'made by a rigidly ad . ministered IncubatLion law as useful to society as now they are not. WVell has the philosopher, whose name up to the hour of going to nress escapes ns, said that the man who makes two goose eggys to hatch where bofore there wore none has a bettor title to imortality and griteful remembrance than Alex an-lor the Groat or the man who frst thought of sticking a smnill pota o upon the nozzle of a korosono can. 8,03%E OLD AMERICAN L.\ws. - There is a long list of tlhose qu.tint laws, a 4aw of Which will suflico to exhibit the candition of the society in which they existed.

Senator Pattorson's Son Tells a Story About Scott and Miss Markham. [ hnm the New York urld.) VAsIixovoN, August 15.-Silas PatteUrron is a sonl of Sonator Pat tirson, (f South Carolina.

YELLOW FEvEa.--The yellow fever is makmng dreadful ravages along tile Mississipp1i river as far' north na Memphis. Ini Newv Orleans the deaths have reached fifty-eight a day. Grenada, a flourish!ing town of 2200 inhabitants, has been de, pop~ulated, all citizons not stricken down having fled in terror, Mem% p~hiis is also suffering greatly. The fever is said to be the most malig, nant ever knowvn. Subscriptions in aid of the sufferers are pouring in from all quarttrs. Tile primary election in Lancaster for the Senate resulted in the nomi nlation of Col. John D. WVylie who defeated Col John B. Eirwin, after a very heated contest. The follow, ing additional nominations were made : F'or the House of Itep, resen tatives, J. C. Blakeney and J. M. Beaty ; for School Com missioner. J. F. Grogory ; for County Commissioners, J.F. Ken-, ninington, R. Elliott and J. A. WVeaners for Probate Judge, J. W. T witty ; for Auditor, T. F. Clyburn; for Treasuv'er, WV. B3. Dunlap. ,The Newberry Dmocatio -Cons vention adjourned till the -10th' of September without making ,an~f nlominations. FOLITIC& A KOTW, The Democratic Convention of Laurens county, at a meeting held a few days ago, renominated all the old members of the Logiplature for re.election. The Democratic State ExecuIivo Committee met Wednesday, with a full attendance. Arrangements are being perfected for a vigorous and active campaign. The Greenbackers of Ohio have already nominated two national bank cashiers for Congress. This seems to be a pretty direct blow at the giant monopoly of national banks. Some of the implacable organs out in Iowa express great joy that the Republican party has been re lieved of Bon Butler. The next most pleasing thing to them would be to have Hayes drop out. Should Butler get the Working men's nomination for governor of Massachusetts he may credit Mr. Dannis Kearney with it ; and if he is afterward defeated le may credi t Kearney with that also. President Hayes has given civil service reform a little sop by the appointment of B. 1-. Bristow as counsel for the government in the South Carolina cases. Small favors thankfully received these days. The Abbeville primaries resulted in the r omination of Messrs. W. K. Bradlev, R. R. Heiphill, James A. Rice, H. H. Harper and Samuel McGowan, Messrs. F A. Connor, J. N. Cochran, F. F Gary and John A. Robinson were unsuceess ful. Senator J. C. Maxwell was renominated without opposition. Congressman Foster says that "HLyos will give as much toward the campaign fund as any of his predecessors." Mr. Foster may not suppose there is any ambiguity in that reinak, but the actual truth is that a great many people expected Mr. Hayes to be an improvement on his predecessors. Kearney to the Heathen Chinee: "By the he.avens above and the stars that are in it ; by the moon, that pale empress of the night ; by the sun that shines.by diy ; by the earth and all its inhabitants, and by hell beneath us, the Chinese must go." Heathen Ch inee to Kearney : "You no MNelican man; dustee you'selfee 1" The President has assured Mr. Jorgenson, Itepublican candidate for Congress in Virginia, that the postmaster in his district ought to help elect him. This assurance is, no doubt, very comforting to Mr. Jorgenson, but it might be more to the point if the President would pay up his promised contribution to the campaign fund. Keatrney isn't earning his salt. We have had quite enough of his talk to get a fair idea of his master ly style in that line not only, but also of the masterly style of the eloquent western Congressman who originated a p~ortion of one of Kearney's speeches. The wvorkin g men are p)robably getting a little implatient to see him try his hand at hanging an editor or a bondholder. Carpet- bag tactics seem to be unsavory in the Democratic State Convention of Louisiana. Four of the New Orleans delegates having been detected in an effort to sell their votes for State treasure-, the convention promptly expelled them. Another outrage upon the policy that so long prevailed in Louisiana. If men must be honest in politics down that way, what have Kellogg and his followers to live for ? IThe name of Secretary Schura still remains at the head of the Westlichee Pos8tjof St. Louis, as one of its editors, and the other day that n wspaper made some remarks 'to the effect that the President had very goodl reason to be satisfied with Mr. Schurz, but "would to God Mr. Schurz had but half of the reason to be satisfied with hun." It can hardly be possible that the Secretary of the Interior has taken his place among the implacables. The most high-toned Congres sional investigation of the summer has not yet begun. Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina, better known as Old-man-afraid.-to--go..home, is chairman of the Senate oommrittee on Territorios, and that committee was ordered to go west and Aind out what is the best way* of- governing Indians; It is .hard on- the noble savage, but Mr. Patterson js a senator and a chailm'an,- and iust have his-llitlp vacation trip 'as '.11 Ias the rest of them. ' *The Georgia Iegllature, whioeb Constitution was adopted last De-, comber, and which will meet next November, will have the selootion of a successor to General Gurdon in the United States Senate. As might be expected, there has been no talk of oppooition to the return of Gor. don to his own seat, andl his re election is assured by the fict that a hundred and seventeen members of the Legisl ature have declared for him. This is a clear majority, and it is not premature to congratulate Georgia on the result, MISOEGENATION.--A white man by the name of Lewia was ruIrried to the colored daughter of a well known white father, near Wide Awake, about a week since, by the white trial justice of 1Ravenel's. A olergyman had been expected to perform the marriage, but on arriv ing, and after full knowledge of the parties, promptly declined and withdrew.--Neivs and Vourier. VEGETINK7 I WILL TRY VEGTTINE.

About two years ago a small sore eame ont my leg; it soon beenme a large Ulcer, 5o troublesome that I consulted the doc. tor, but I got no relief, growing worse from day to day. I sufiered terribly; I could not rest day or night; I was so reduced my friends thought I would never recover; I onsulted a doctor at Columbus. I followed his advice it did no good. I can truly say I was diseouraged. At this time I was looking over my newspaper. I saw your advertisement of Vegotine, the "Great Blood Purifner' for cleansing the blood from all impurities, -curing humors, ul. ears, &o. I said to my family, I will try soine of the Vegetino. Before I had used the first bottle I began to feel better. I muade up my mind I had got the right medicine at last. I continued taking the Vegetine. I took thirteen bottles. My health is good. The Ulcer is gone, and I Am able to attend to business. I paid about four hundred dollars for medicine and dootors before I bought the Vegotine. I have recommended Vegetine to others with good suceoss. I always keep a bot tle of it in the house now. It is a most excellent medicine. Very respootfully yours, F. ANTHONI.
