CONVICT FARMS ON HIIAKKS. The Flan Adopted by the Penitentiary Directora-Detall? of theLeat?? Recent* ly Made. ( From the AV ic. and Courir r. ) COLUBMIA Junnary 27.-It will bo remembered tbut tho terms upon which Hie board ot' directors of tho penitentiary, at their meetings held in tho carly part of this uiouth, leased three plantations for convict residence labor were not made public becauso tho contract bad not been committed lo writing. Much interest lois been exhibited in the matter, and it seemed desirable that the public should bo in formed of thc details of thc contracts. Inquiry was mado this morning nt thc ofllco of the Clerk of Court for this countv, and it was found that thc Servers and Sims contracts had been ! signed and were in tho Clerk's bauds awaiting nord. The lease of I bc Secgers plantation contains thc lollowing provisions: .lohn C. Seegers leases to the board of directors of the penitentiary for a term of five yeare from January 1, 188G, bis "l?g Lake" plantation, locat ed in Hichlund countv, some miles below Columbia. He ng.iecs to fur nish all the farm utensils, implements and machinery required by thu direc tors, and to furnish also such nudes as may tic required by the directors for farm work and a horse for the use of thc manager of the farm. Ile furth er agree- to furnish all thc lumber necessary for tho main tuna nco and re pair ot tho convict stockade anet such land ns may bc required for vegetable gardens, ile agrees to pay each year during thc term of the agreement and lcaso one-half of amounts which shall bo required for the purchase of com mercial fertilizers and cotton buggin? and ties. Tho directors agree to occupy and use the farms solely for the employ ment of convicts, thc convicts to be managed by officers and guards ot the penitentiary. They agree to furnish such a number of convicts as may be necessary for the proper cultivation ol tlie farm, and to maintain theso con victs ami their guards at thc expense ot thc penitentiary. They agree to properly care for thc mules and hor<o.? furnished, the said animals to bc main tained and fed Mr. Seegers. Tliex agree to pay one-half the amount re quired for the purchase of commercial fertilizers and cotton bagging and ties; to return to Mr. Scoffers, w ben thc crops shall bc gathered, thc seed corn and other seed brains and cotton seed furnished hy him for planting such crops. The cotton seed raised on thc farm lo be used as a fertilizer; and al tho expiration of thc lease, after the deduction of thc amount of seed ad vanced by Mr. Secgers, the remainder is to bo equally divided between thc two parties to thc agreement. The board agrees to pty to Mr. Seegtrs as rent of the farm one-half of thc net proceeds of sales of crops m ule on the farm. This arrangement and lease is signed bv John C. Secgers and T. J. Lips comb, superintendent of the peniten tiary. The lease of the plantation of J. C. F. Sims, about ten miles below thc city, is couched in the same terms. This plantation has 1,100 acres. Of course the maintenance of such a large force of convicts without return until the crops are made will be expensive; hut if this arrangement were not ef fected the prisoners wou'd have to bc supported in idleness at the peniten tiary. So that there is no risk on tin part of the State, but a certainly, om wonld judge, of making tho convict! by harvest time pay for their own sup port during thc year and yield a sur plus, more or less large. About ono hundred convicts are al ready on thc leased Seegers, Sims am Aughtry farms, and others will b< sent out next Monday. They have completed, except on tho Scegeri place, thc building of comfortable log houses and stockades and uro now duelling fields, clearing fallow lauds Seo. _ CI.KVKL.AN1) STAND? FIRM.

Hutt to bo Brought by a White Child'* Cot orc<l Parent* Itecnua? it wa? DitinUacd .II School. (?rom the Greenville News.) Au Interesting and remarkable case, Which may como under the civil rights laws, has* been devoloyed in (jnatl township, tilts county". The West ti ti ?itt High School, a lew miles be low thc city, is u nourishing ono for white scholars, tuught by T. E. Ewart. It is supported partly "by individual subscriptions of white citizens and partly trout thc public funds, having a ton mouths' session, and U patronized by tho best people of that section, lu tho neighborhood there is a white woman married to a well-to-do renter named Smith, w ho chums to be a Spaniard, but is regarded and treated as a full blooded negro, having every appearance of being one. Bet?re her marriage to Smith, thc woman was u wddow and hud a number of children who arc pure white. These children, however, regard Smith as their luther and nre called by his name. Last week ono of them, a (boy of fourteen, was sent to Mr. Ewart's school, ile promptly objected to thc attendance of thc hov, and reported the case to tho trustees. .1. J. Mackey, John P. Scruggs and A. lt. Smith. ? number of pat rons of the school gave notice that if thc Smith boy attended it they would withdraw their children. On Frida) the trustees met and unanimously de cided to dismiss the boy. Thc com munity r-sustains Mr. Ewart and the trustees, but the Smiths ure Indignant and declare their purpose to prosecute i be teacher and ttie trustees in the United States Court under the civil rights law. i'm it is difficult to seo how such a prosecution could be had, as thc boy was not discriminated Hindus': because of Iiis race, color or previous condition, being a full blood ed white, and was objected to because of the social position of his papers. The case is without precedent so far ns is known. A u AI N I I D HOUSE. Apparitions in n Doorway Croate a Sen. nation in nu IiiUliiun Town, About four miles to the southwest of Wabash, Indiana stands a little cluster of houses. The inhabitants tue intel ligent farmers wdio have retired from agricultural pursuits, intet t on ending their days in Arcadian simplicity and quiet. One-half mile south on the Somerset mail route is a traine cottage rapidly falling into decay. Tho heavy Iront door stands ajcr on OJIO hinge sufficiently to reveal a cheerless inte rior with crumbling floor and walls. The nearest dwelling is a (pun ter of a mile distant. That the building is the scene of spectral gatherings everybody in tho town is convinced. About two weeks ago, while Dr. Watson was driving past at midnight, his horse suddenly stopped and then began to back. Glancing toward the old house tho doctor was horrified to observe the figure of a man in the doorway dressed in black. His coal ami vest were thrown open revealing a white shirs. The figure swayed back ward ana forward for several moments. The doctor sat dazed, ami then recov ering himself applied thc whip lo his horse, which sprung forward. The apparition. Jefferson Brown, au old farmer, while returning home from a neighooi s late in tlic night, SAW a woman in the doorway of the same house and heard groans. The figure was ?rind in black and the uross was partly in front, ex posing a wdiite under garment. She appeared to be suspended in mid-air, with bands uplifted as though in sup plication. Tho figure of a boy was also observed on another occasion by Mr. Brown and two other farmers, who beard thc rattling of thc rotten floor. So frightened wee they all that they fled without investigating the matter, and there is no disposition among the villagers to keep vigil, lt is proposed liv a party from Wabash to watch night after night, and solve (lie mystery if possible. Till*. MONI ."U I .NT TO LEK. !>.?'.Ijjti for the I'ropom-U Memorial of the Great Southern I.eneral. A correspondent of the American Register states that a distinguished American sculptor, whoso name is withheld, recently shipped from Home a model for thc proposed equestrian monument to (?en. Hubert E. Lee, to bc erected in Richmond, Va., and for which several unsatisfactory competi tions have already taken place. The mode! iii question is in thc form of nu exquisitely designed architectural base, squarj in shape and diversified with graceful columns in half relief. Hising from the centre of this is a short Huted column or altar piece, so to speak, placed upon a smaller base, and deco rated with a bevy of beautiful childish figures supporting circular shields representing the eleven Southern Stutes and occupying spaces between them. The column i* surmounted by a colos sal female figure, typifying tia: genius of the South, with ono hand resting upon the plough, while tho other is extended forward ns if ready to crown thc warrior whoso name she delights to honor. Projecting from thc princi pal base is an extension of tho same height and stylo of architecture, bear ing upon it thc equestrian staluo of Lee, which at once arrests thc atten tion of the beholder as a striking and original conception. The horse and rider, though in a manner such as only a man skilled in horsemanship could conceive of, seem to divide tho honors with each other in the contrast of expression created by tho sculptor. Gen. Lee is shown as 'sitting erect and looking intently towards n distant point of Interest, but yet calm and strong and self-poised in Iiis conscious knowlcdgeof the situation. Tho horse, on thu contrary, while represented ns obedient io his master's will, ami awaiting his signal for action, is stop ping slowly forward, but reaches his head aloft and towards the point of danger, indicating hy his dilated nos trils and eagerness of eye that he scents the battle afar oil'. It is a pot rait of au animal in full sympathy with his rider, and yet teeming with excitement and impatience to participate in the event about to transpire. Thc con ception of the whole, it is claimed, is a superb one, full of the lofty dignity ot character befitting tho original, and has thc high artistic quality af express ing the strong emotion both of the rider and his steed without resort lo the too frequent necessity of physical aol ion. -Officers from ( i aines ville, Ga., in pursuit of Jackson, thc fugitive, re port one ot their dog* missing, ami that anote was found on a tree, signed by Jackson, which said thal he had borrowed the dog to hunt with and wonlcl return bim in the spring.

United Htates Soldier* Attacked by Ur??s* ers?llestiHs of the Eng nccmciit. A dispatch from Lieutenant Maus, through General Crook, Hintes that on tho 11th January tho troops under Cuptain Crawford surrounded on In dian camp fifty miles southeast of Nocori, Mexicu.* After a running fight the Indians escaped, but sent word thnt they wished to hold a conference, and while thc troops were awaiting thc time for tho conference, they were attacked by uno hundred and fifty-four Mexican soldiers. Efforts wore mudo to let them know thu troops were Americans and friends, and Cuptain Crawford and Lieutenant Maus ad vanced lo talk t ) then, when a volley was fired. Captain Crawford was shot in tho bond, and Horn tho interpreter was wounded. The Mexican Uro was returned, and (he firing lasted half an hour when Lieutenant Maus succeeded in having a talk with tito officer lu command nf the Mexicans, their can tain having been killed. He was told that (ho Americans were taken for hostiles owing to thedarkness. Hom, thc chief of scouts, and two Indians WOl'O slightly wounded and another w as severely hurt. Thc Mexicans lost four killed and five wounded. In tho telegram sent by Lieutenant Maus he says he bolievcs tho Mexicans expect ed to drive tho Americans off" with their ov<rw olming force and secure tho camp ami effects ol the Americans. Captain Crawford died on the 18th during tho mareil to Nocori, where he was buried. Ho was unconscious until his death. Lieutenant Maus then assumed command. While the troops wore en route to Nocori two squaws entered the camp, through whom arrangements were made by Lieutenant Maus for a con- 1 terence with two bucks of the hostile band. This ended by Chief Nunn and one huck and bis wito and n child euch of Geronimo and Natchez, thc sister of Geronimo, ono boy and a woman being given to Lieutenant MHUS as hostages for the observance of peaco until Geronimo shall have met General Crook, with whom bo expressed a wish to have a talk. Thc meeting be tween General Crook and Geronimo will take place in about u month and will undoubtedly end in thc surrender of the indians. Tho band consists of Chiefs Geronimo, Natchez, Chihuahua and Nina, twenty hucks and some women and children. Lieutenant Mans is now heading for Lang's ranch. .JAY QOU1VD AND HIS DETECTIVE. A Funny Htory About tho MUUonnlre nnd How Ho Travels. {From the Nexo$ and Courier.) It would appear that a fair propor tion of .lay Gould's hours of idleness is spent in the facolliatlllg occupation of stockjobbing. In other words, he is ulwnvs himself. Jay Gould only spent a few hours in Charleston, but if thc report bc true, bc wns even than plotting tn ''unload" to thc advantage of himself and his prospectivo heirs. A correspondent of thc New York Times, writing from Charleston, says: "Dispatches were lately sent from this city representing that he bsd changed bis plans so far this winter as to decide to give up I.is yachting trip and go on an inspection tour over thc Southern Pacific lines. Fur the very reasons that have been indicated al ready lids report was untrue. Ile bad no thought of making a Southern Pacific, trip. Thc statement that ho lind was used only for a peg lo hang a stock jobbing scheme upon." The correspondent, however, docs not. "itemize thc bill" and leaves tho public in tho dark as to the details of tho stock-jobbing scheine. The Times correspondent further states (bat Mr. Gould on his trip herc "brought, be sides bis family and bis doctor, an other guest, a man of retiring manner, who was never seen with thc excur sionists, but who was, for all that, lu Mr. Gould's estimation, an important member of the traveling party. This matt of thc retiring manner was a pri vate detective, a doughty, middle-aged fellow of experience, who draws a yearly salary ont of Jay Gould's till." This .'man of retiring manner" was not un exhibition in Charleston, at least when thc grcut uuilti-millionairc went abroad Tn thc public places, whhre, under ordinary circumstances, Mr. Gould might bo expected lo go in fear and trembling. Thc Times discredits thc story of its corresponden", and ironically says: "As for Mr. Gould's carrying a pr?valo detect ?Ve Oil his \ acht, that (lee UOt indicate (but he goes in fear of his life. He is in no danger of nttack at sea encept from pirntes, and a private de tective is a poor safeguard against a buccaneer of the Spanish Main. Ho may carry a private detective around as the ancient potentate was accus tomed to set up a death's head at din ner to remind bim what his futo might have been hut for thc incompetency of detectives."
