LAUKIONS, S. 0., June :!(>, 18i)7. Victoria's Diamond Juhillcc. The gala week, having its head quarters at London, memorializing the sixtieth anniversary of the reign of Victoria, culminating in the great celebration of Tuesday last, passed with transcendent eclat. There has been nothing approxlnating its splen dor in all the ages. No country has ever existed eomparab'e in extent of dominion and power to that of the "British crown." That in wisdom, In science, in commerce, in liberty and happiness, her subjects are blessed be yond the nations of ttio earth is not duo to Victoria actively is beyond question, but at the same time, it is equally true, a prince or a half dozen princes upon the throne, of ambi tion and aggressive temper, and the re sult might have boon the reverse of all this. As a fact all the world honors Victo ria, all the world sent greetings to her and nor people The overwhelming ovation is largely due to its practica bility, to the fact that to day inter communication between antipodes is easier than botween adjoining States and provinces a century ago. The brotherhood of mankind is more nearly realized than ever in the long past. Steam and harnessing the lightning are making all the world to be kin. How far Sheba travelled to experience the wisdom, and the might and the glory and the majesty of Solomon will never be known, as her country and her home can never be located. If a Sheba had visited Lon don on Tuesday last she may have not encountered in one personage the wis dom her ancient majesty found in tho great monarch of Juda, but the wealth, the pageantry and the might imper sonated in the metropolis of the world on Tuesday last has not had its parallel in the history of the ages.? Mankind arc not kindly disposed to v lisb: they are land-grabbers. Ivo and absorbers of tho hd conquerors of nations; they Continents and proceed to take the sun forever shines upon the ?bandard and that standard is i rampant. Out the sins of on arc not charged to a wo queen. The world has con to love her. The God of the \as thought fit to extend her e reign to three score years r, and on Tuesday last more ids lips pleaded for blessings jbr, than ever before went up psannahs to the ruler of all. peadyisni -Or What Else.' Court of inquiry organized by governor' and Commander-in to investigate and report the Of the College grounds rumpus he State militia has concluded Its s and submitted its conclusions to Governor. It finds as fact that I ts, the Adjutant General, was >ly an inspection ollicer by law, that Col. Wilie Jones, the ccm .idant or his Adjutant should have located the field for tho maneuvering /of tho troops and that this was not 'done. It furthor finds that Col. Jones / neglected and failed to inform Watts ,' of the very material fact, that tho mil / itla were not entitled to the grounds, I whon that fact was in possession of f. Col. Jone tovl Col. Jones alone. We ?peak of facts as found bj the dis tinguished Court. Notwithstanding these findings, the Court proceed to recommend a published "reprimand" of Watts, tho reprimand of one poor private and the dismissal of another from the glorious privilege of serving in tho militia of 'our grand old State." There has not been such a blundering NON-sequitur?thero has not been so self-contradictory a conclusion as hor found between ascertained facts and conclusions. A child, the merest ass, may understand that the unfortunate collision resulted upon the withholding of tho facts as found from Gen. Watts, the reviewing officer. The Court may bo strong n its personel and ccmparcd to tho fiel?? from which His Excollency had to choose, but Jublter himself nods and nodoubt the Court felt the hypnotic inlluence of the big dailies of that great capital city, Columbia, who acorn to delight in tho lilllputian pro portions of Watts compared to their own enormous dimensions. Governor 101 lerbo after he has waded through the _ .184 pages of fool's cap, if he has a head loft, will wc assume, see the absurdly contradictory character of the facts found and the recommendations of the Court. So scolng this, should end the matter. But certainly tho General Assembly will be competent to digest tho voluminous testimony and trium phantly vindicate Watts. * * * Mr. Latlmor (Dom. S. C) asked unanimous consent to have considered a bill declaring a State capable of en tirely controlling tho liquor trahic. This, Mr. W. A. Ptono (Rep,. Pa.) said was an outgrowth of n local fight in South Carolina, in which tho courts had mado a decision, and was not a 6roper matter for consideration by tho [ouse. Ho objected to its considera tion. Certainly, Mr. Latimor, but it will take every man, woman and child in the State to do tho business. The name of tho Ponnsylvania gentleman sug gests thirsty follow cltl/.ons not a "stone throw" from Hon. Mr. Latimor. And the suggestion of Mr. Latimer suggests a very suggestive story book of ono Marcus Twain - "Innocents Abroad." Innocence in Mr. Latimer, or Mr. anybody else, however, is com mendable, and for this virtue tho Hon. menber has our conjmondation. Johny Rebs at Nashville. A resolution commendatory of the 1 roign of Queen Victoria was voted down, and the resolution of praise for the <v>ucon's Jubilee was defeatod . Unnecessary resolutions, but should have been voted, when oncu Offered. If for no other reason out ?f respect to tho memory of Carlisle. The South has no quarrel with England, the only State in Hurope in sympathy with us when we were fighting the world.? Kvery other nationality had their rapscallions us hirelings in arms against us. John Hull is greedy but not mer cenary?he hires others of the "can kers of a long peace" to do his light ing, but is never found in a foreign uniform. The resolutions should have passed with a good square untorrillod rebel yell. * * * ^ Princeton, N. J., has conferred the Degree of L. L. D. upon ex-l'resident Cleveland, William C. Preston who had been a Sonator in Congress and was a great orate- had tho degree conferred upon him while latterly President of the South Carolina College. A r'reshman mooting him. greeting him as Doctor, was threatened with and narrowly escaped the old gentleman's cane. Moral: Those hon ors are growing so common that the degree of "Mr." is a coming dis tinction. * * * The Senate purpose to complete their bill of abominations, the tariff, this week. Congress will then very Boon adjourn. *++ At the Jubilee, Victoria's daughters were corisidorato and gave the good old lady some nlco presents. They arc in safe hands. # * * It begins to look like tho Tariff might be the issue "one of these days." m x * PRACTICE ECONOMY In buying medicine as in other matters. It is economy to got Hood's Sar.saparilla because there is more medicinal value in Hood's Sar.saparilla than In any other.? V.very bottlo of Hood's Sarsap arilla contains 100 doses and will average, taken according to di rections, to last a month, while others last but a for night. Hood's Pills are the only pills to take with Hood's Sar.saparilla.? Easy and yet efficient. Assigned To I.aureus Tho county board of education went to Princeton this week and mot with the Laurens board for a consultation on tho subject of the Princeton school district, which lies partly in Greenville and partly in Laurens. Tho boards decided not to change tho boundaries of tho school district or to make a special district. Tho difficulties arising from tho mixed condition of affairs were obviated by transferring six Citizens of Dunklin township, who livo in the corporate limits of Princeton to Laurens County In order to give them the benefit of tho public money for tho Princeton school.?Greenville Mountaineer.

Their digestive Cordial is said to bo tho most successful remedy for stomach troubles ever intro duced. It immediately relieves nil pain and distress after eating, builds up the feeble system, and makes the weak strong. The fact is, foods properly di gested are better than so called tonics. The Cordial not only con tains food already digested, but is a digester of other foods. Food that is not digested does more harm than good. People who use the Cordial insure the digestion of what food they eat and in this way get the benefit of it and grow strong. The little pamphlets which the Shakers have sent druggists for free distribution, contain much in teresting information on the sub ject of dyspepsia. LAXOL is not- a mixture of drugs.
