l-WEEKLY ED11It N,} WINNS , S. C. 1 HUISDAY, APRIL 17.,1879. T. I 1WHITE LADY. Re-apearanoe of the Evil Genius of thi Hohenzollerns--The Old Tradition. [From the Neto York Herald.) A strange story is making th rounds of the German press, beinu an account of the appearance of th white lady, who is supposed to mak her appearance as a ghost at certai times to announce the death of sorn member of the Hohenzollern famsili Very recently the cable brought u the announcement of the death c the young Prince Waldomar, c Prussia, the third son of the Crow Prince of Germany, and now w learn from an account telegraphe by an English correspondent fro: Berlin that the mysterious lady i white made her appearance on th eve of the young prince's death. "] may interest those who happ;m t be learned in Berlin legends I know," says the corresponden "that according to report the whit lady, whose visits always preced the death of some member of tl Royal Family of Prussia, was see on the eve of Prince Waldemar death. A soldier on guard at th Old Palace was the witness of th apparition, and he in his fright fle to the guardhouse,- when he was E once arrested for deserting hi .post." No further particulars ai vet to hand, and it will probably 1 found that the sentinel had bee listening to stories of the occasion: appearance of the mysterious lad just before he mounted guard, an that the "apparition" was somethin very human after all. Legendai history dues, however, tell us i many visits of the white lady to tI Hohenzollern castle, at Bayreut: Anebach, and at Berlin. She mac a great stir about the commenco Tent of the present century on tl occasion of the French occupatic of Bayrenth, when she took grei delight in annoying the foes of ti Hohenzollerns. She is also reput( to have paid visits to Napoleon while he resided in the o: castle at Bayreuth ; and Ba' reuth Margrave was once so u1 gallant as to pitch a 'white la( over the baliisters of the stairs, find next morning that he had mair ed one of his female domestics f life. The legend of the appearan of the woman in white as a premou tress of death has long been coi nected with the Hohenzollern fami history. Old Merian declares th she has fregently been seen in t] Old Palace at Berlin in the yea 1652 and 1653, and Stilling,' t mystic, and the friend of Goetl was a firm believer in the phantoi The last appearance of a white Yai in Europe was in 1873, in the impi rial castle at Vienna. But-the whi lady, being a Hohenzollern' specti the Hapsburg visitor was in : probability an impostor. We a inclined all the more to this beli from the fact that the sentinel whom she appeared tried the effe of his bayonet upon the phenoin non, and there was a gentle rum whispered about Vienna at the tir that somebody had been wounded some lovely lady wvhose white dre| shone in the moonlit corridors. TI Berlin "app~arition~" will probably 1 found to have a different exp)lanati( -namely, that the sentinel be already been greatly excited in h wind by the ghost stories he hi heard and that his imaginati< was just in the condition necessai to transform any fluttering win into the phantom form of the Whi Lady of the Hohenzollerns.

A touching story is narrated in.] D connectiol.. with the execution of Walter Wgson, at Highland, Iirdi o ana, on Friday last for the murder e of Ezra Con ton. The parties had a quarrelled about the charge of a e quarter dollar for some soap made . by Compton, who was a storekeeper. s The wife of Watsori, to whom he had < f been but a year married, endeavored '1 f to restrain him from the quarrel, : 3 but her entreaties iailed. A week < e before the execution Mrs. Watson I visited the Governor, with her babe La in her arums, and made a strong per.. a sonal appeal for mercy, but the ofli e cial declined to interfere because the t sentence had been confirmed by the o Supreme Court. The faithful wife o was a daily visitor to her husband's ,, cell, and joined him in fervent pray. e ers for forgiveness. During the e last night must of the time ahe sat t e on his knee breathing words of love a and encouragement,, or at his- feet a caress-ing his hands. He was truly a e penitent andlexpressed himself as hav o ing made peace with God. As the time d approached for the execution she ;t was for a moment overcome, and fell s on her husband's neck in uncon e trollable anguish, but suddenly she e raised her flaxen head and assisted n in arraying him for his doom. She il had contributed a necktie and a pair y of slippe:s, and put them on with a d fierce determination that overmas g tered her agony. She combed lis y hair, and seeing all was ready, said 1 >f she NVbuld go with him. All present e remonstrated with her, in which the a, minister joined. Her reply was a Lo rebuke that few women would have ventured. "I should not- have ex io pected this from a minister. When n I was married I promised to cleave Lt to my husband for better or for e worse. I promised this to a minis d ter, and I am going to keep my I. word as far as God will let me " On ld reaching the gallows the pair soon r to be sundered mounted the steps. hand in hand. They were seated ty side by side over the fatal trap. She to again took his hand and sobbed with' Q. her- little head resting upon his >r shoulder, while the minister made e the closing prayers. i. Meanwhile the culprit sat in his -. chair unmoved. A heart-broken ly wife was sobbing ' on his bosom, at strong men sobbed, but the m?n to 1e be hanged seemed an uninterested rs spectator of the absorbing scene of re which he was the central figure. e, For fully five minutes he sat there n. without the least perceptible twitclr 1y of a muscle. There was no. bravado ; in this corgposure ; it was the calm te ness of resignation.. At the close of e, the religious exercises the two stood l Iup, and for the last time she em re braced her husband, kissed him ! of. passionately, and with "Good-bye, to Walter," stepped back and fell into et the arms of the' good Christian B.. ladies who were there to receive her. r The last words of the unhappy man 1e were a fervent prayer for imercy and - for heavenly aid to his poor wife. asAt the sheriff's she saw th e remains 1of her husaband in his coffin, and ye kissing his lips and arranging the >n)hair, turned away with a 'look-of woe. d .and said, "I can cry no m6i'7 -ii ihave no moie tears.

J'OLITIUAL NOTE. Ex-Congressman Waddell, of North Jarolina, has gone into the news >aper business. Robert Alston, son of the assassi iated Georgian, has been made nessengor of Senator Gordon's omnittoe on commorce, receiving a alary of $1,440. The New York He;rald says the I thief feature about Mr. Stephens' )roposed Goloid (mixed gold and ;ilver)- dollar, is that it can be easily ounterfeited. The Radical Senators think the 3adical Congressmen made a poor ight over -the army bill. They )romised to make the fur fly when heir time came. A writer in the Philadelphia Times oiplains that debates in longress re now dreadfully dull, but; believes hat Zeb Vance is the man to make hings lively-heretofore. The New Yoik Tima has canvass. )d every State, and finds that the sentiment now points to Grant and 1'ilden as the . opposing caudidates n 1880. Jacobs, Republican, was elected may >)f Cincinnati by a majority; of 412 )ut of a vote of 45,000. The Demo.. .aats claim that he is not a, citizen, tnd will contest. When Jefferson Davis was in the United States Senate he gave the publisher of the Congressional Globe a great deal of trouble, more bhan any other Congressman except bis colleague, Senator Foote. Mayor Cooper, of New Ydrk, has isked Gov. Robinson to remove the three New York pohce commission 3rs for inefficiency. As these are oflices of great importance, much axcitement has been caused. The Governor has not yet announced his decision. Congressman Mure', the stone cutter from Maine, who earved his way into Congress over Eugene Hale, drew the seat held by Chitten den, of Brooklyn, in the last House, which is one of the most conspicu ous seats on the. floor. Here Mr. Murch proposes to hold the fort and from his central seat keep an eye on both sides of the House. The 'amount of the sale of four per cent.. bonds Friday was fifty-one millions. . The -annual saving of interest on this sum by the change of six ner cents. .into four per cents. is $1,180,000, or that much saved to the people at large for m the income heretofore enjoyed by the bondhold ers. And yet the Greenbackers are not happy. It has been the custom heretofore, in important debates for the Speak er of the House to recognize mem bers frrm a list prepared before hand. The members not on the list have been making a fuss about it ; but Speaker Randall said it was the best thing that could be done, as often a dozen Liemnbers jump up at once, and the Speaker cannot decid which was first. The matter wvas referred to a committee. Portland Argue ; If Hayes should veto the appropriation bills, and thus stop the wvheels. of govern ment, Senator Logan will be fierce ror impeaching him. At least that is what he thought ought to be done with Johnson- under similar circum stances, and it is hardly fair to issue that he has changed the pinion which he exp)ressed wis,h an unusual degree of vehemence. WVasMngton Capitol ; And now bhe Hon. Conkling has time to in arease-his muscular practice and take six baths a day, as we have said, in., stead of two. He also waves two miniature flags at intervals. We are bold that he has a sack filled wvith bran, suspended in his room by a sord, andi on it, in large. letters, the word "laine." This he pummnels with groat vigor.

They say : "We regard with grave apprehension the wrongs and outrages from which so many of our people suffer to-day and the alarm which has influenced them to make a general exodus from north Lousiana, and the turbulent parishes in the State." FIDDLING IN GEN. HILL'S COLLEGE. -The following from Captain Shot well's Farmer and .hfachanic will be appreciated here where the sub ject is so well known : "It is right amusing to see in the calalogue of General D. H. Hills institution.at Fayetteville, Arkansas, a dopartinont of the violin-four years course : first year, panctice of bowing and lingeritng ; second year, etudes of Dencla ; third year, sonatas of Hay den, Schubert, etc. We feel sure the old i'ebel, Scotch"Irish Presby terian elder, didn't arrange that curriculum, though, come to think he was always fond of a fiddle."
