b1 ACoN, July 5.-The melancholy news
reached this city this evening from
Copse 11111, Columbia County, that Paul

at death's door, with little or no chanco
of recovery. A low weeks ago while
Engaged upon his labors with his ohar
acterlstie energy and onthuslasm, he
was suddonly prostrated by a fainting
spell.
Rallying somewhat, he, to quiet the
apprehensions of his family, made light,
of his Illnoss. But it soon devoloped
that be was partially paralyz)tl, and
physicians were summoned. Taey do
cided that his trouble arose fron a clot
of blood upon the brain and that no hopo
of his recovery existod. He his yet
mont cus of consolousnos, through
which the grand faith and soul of the
man still shine brightly.
It will ho hard for the peoplo of the
South to realizo how close they are to an
irreparable loss, and hopos will rise in
every heart and prayers tha-t the shadow
ofi dcath through adisp(isation suporlor
to manilt's .udgment may be lifted from
Copico lill.
We cannot believe that Paul Hayno's
work is finishod. May ho be spared to
illustrio still the virtues of a noble
manhood and the genius of tio South.
The sympathy of a loving pooplo goos

Many of the children in the acnoal are un

If our legislators could only visit this in

"Point systein." They perforate paper placed
in grooves. and are thus enabled to write out
their lessons. Their "suins" are worked
with type which fit lI a grooved elate.
one of the attractive recitations was the
"Conquered Banner," by three young ladies,

of the wo)k is teaoning the dumb to speak.

tion that anyone is as eloquent as Bright is
todescribe him as eloquent beyond all praiie.
The oration pronounced to-day waeoertatutI
equal to h1at of 1853, and by some regardot
as superior to it, Tine, however, has caused
the flies of the great orator to burn gently.
In some parts of his oration Mr. Bright rose
to his former self. The oration prononneed
to-day by Mr. Bright will descend to coating

W'he Gathering of the Survivors of the

from attending the reunion. Two wasltout

account for many of the errors that were
chalked up agaiust the players, some of
which were made by the best players In the

Games Lost.............. lI2 i2i!24 4 5 i
The past week has been an unfortunate
one for base ball, rain having prevented a
imajority of the games f oi, being played.
Notwithstanding this, however, there has
been a material change In tie outlook of th0
Pennant race. The Atlantis struck a snag
in Charleston, losing two out of three games,
and the leaders having bad their percentage
reduced do not seem near so formidable as
they did a week ago. Nashville was most
unfortunate In being prevented by rain from
playing a single game in Augusta and In
consequence of this has been passed by Sa
vannah. Memphis has displaced Macon at
fourth geg and the Central Olty has dropped
to ath iace, the lowestposition she has held
so far this reason.
The features of the week have been the
splendid work done by Savannah and
Cbarleston. The former club has pulled to
gether nobly, and is now safe to fnish the
season. At present they are pushing tie
champions hard for first place, Atlanta's per
centago being .581, and Savannah's .580.
The outlook for Charleston Is more encour
aging than it has ever been, The club i now
playing as gocd ball as any team In - the
Le ague, and if they will only keep up their
tresetnt pace will soon make the leaders
