It was naturally fallen on .lioro is genius in tho application. io years ago Audubon published groat book about birds and secured aortal ity. Tho cuckoo doposits its g in u nost of a smaller and weaker rd; tho hatching process goes on har ioniously but in due time tho cuckoo iAoki y it the woakor birds and appro* prlatea tho nest. The purltanle mis sionaries to Hawaii from Now Eng ?md managed so well that they ae lired tho sugar plantations, orchards d orange groves and then with their s proceeded to kick out the poor na B and sot up p government for .solvos. Now they domund ad on to the family of tho groat l and protection under tho Aegis 'he groat Republic. Cuckoo! >o! CuekOo! this is not to our purpose. Cap* 'iUmun and Shell announced in sounding proclamation in 1890 that South Carolina ha I never had a Democratic government, that all was corrupt and rotten: and theroupon with tho two Popes, Wilson, Farley, Townsend, Maylield and others, evory mother's son of-them an old ringster, * office-holder and sookor, assumed the mrlfloatlon of polities in South Caro la. By force of a largo following, element that supported Hayne, u111o, and Calhoun and had fought tprossors at the North for an 1 years were dumped into the ?in of oblivion and tho cuckoos 1 in their nests.

South Cnrolina probably now ranks second among tho States of tho Union in cotton manufacturing. Massachu setts is ahead and last year New Hamp shire had a slight lead over our State but since there has been an unprece dented increase in the number of Car olina spindles. There is scarcely an other county in the State equal to Laurens in resources and population which has not two or three mills. If thoro Is a Carolina city measuring in importance with Laurens which is without a mill I don't recall it at this writing' This is wrong. Some Laurens man should come down with a ten or twenty thousand dollar subscription and the mill would be built. Who will he be? * * * It has OOme to light that there are ir?,(K)() alliancemen in good standing and 38.000 including all who have joined tho order. That is to say 23,000 members have lost interest in tho Al liance to such an extent that they no longer pay their duos. Editor Bowdon fancies that the pres out membership is quite largo enough. Col. D. P. Duncan, who has been re elected secretary and treasurer of the National Alliance states that the Al liance as a body will not go into poli ties. Oh no, certainly not. Political news is scarce this week. A few days ago- there was some talk of tho Governor for a third term and I shall not be surprised to see tho Till manitos forced to renominate him. They understand fully that there is great poverty in brains among their leaders and that TUlman is perhaps the only man of thoAcrowd who can reasonably well take xjare of himself on the stump. # Several of tho Conservative papers ?re speaking In a disapproving way of ?tor Bntlor.

I can now do as much work as the next person" All Front. At Chancellorsville, whilo Jackson's oorps was moving to tho tiank nud rear of the Union army, the Confederate cav alry in udvonoe beoame engaged with the enemy. Presently a wounded troop or emerged from the woods in funit. After surveying the scone he moved in the dWeotion in which the infantry were marching, apparently in search for the t&U. Almo.it immediately the blue jaokete closed behind Jackson's oorps, and the poor cavalryman appeared again, look ing hopeless and distraught. He was ?net by unother cavalryman, to whom he ?allcd out: "Hello! Wounded?" "Yes," replied the other laconically, adding, "Let's git to the r'ur." "ICar!" retnrned tho disconsolate oavalryman.
