PUBLISHED EVERY- THURSDAY AT NEWBERRY, S. C. From the Charleston News and Courier. PRIDE OF THE LUTHERANS. A Sketch of the Good Work of New berry College. A short time ago your correspon dent made a special visit to New berry College with a view to giving you an account more particularly of the business department recently added to the curriculum of the col lege. I have thought that in addi tion to this, and as a fit introductory, it would be a matter of interest to many of your readers to have a little history of the college from its organ. ization and the work it has accom plished. For several ye2 -s during the his tory of this State, since the war, col leges known as denominational were the only institutions of higher learn ing in the State, and they filled an important gap. Many of these have been struggling amidst meagre sup port, with no endowment-and poorly topaid faculties, yet withal they are still doing a good work, and form an important factor in the educational work in South Carolina. Newberry College is one of these. THE HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE. It was chartered by the Legislature of South Carolina in 1856, with the following trustees: John Baehman, D. D., LL:D.; the Revs. E. B. Hort, N. Aldrich, T. S. Boinest, J. P. Mar gart and J. H. Bailey, and Messrs. G. Muller, W. K. Bachman, Jacob Schumpert, M. Barre, Patrick Todd, Henry Summer, N. A. Hunter, A.C. Garlington, J. P. Aull, Simeon Fair, and J. P. Kinard. The corner-stone of the projected new building was laid with imposing ceremonies on the 15th of July,1857, addresses being made by the Rev. J. J. Brantley, Gen. A. C. Garlington and the Rev. Dr. J. Bachman. This building when completed was at that time one of the handsomest in the South. The College was opened in the autumn of 1858 with most favorable prospects, 150 students being enrolled during the first session. The cata logue of the second session, 1859-60, showed a roll of 175 names. THE ORIGINAL FACULTY. The first faculty of the college was composed as follows: The Rev. T. Stork, D. D., President; 0. B. Mayer, M. D., J. Bachman, D. D. LL.D., the Rev. J. A. Brown. X. M., C. A. Stork, A. B., the Rev. M. Whbittle, A. B., an A. P. Pifer, A. B. The third year of the college, 1860 6i, opened most encouragingly, but before many months the country was involved in the excitement and con fusion of an approaching civil war. Students were summoned home and professors resigned. Early in the spring of 1861 the college was closed for that session. THE EFFECT OF THE WAR. The Rev. 3. P. Smeltzer, of Vir 'ginia, was the second president of the college, who entered upon his duties in the fall,of 1862. With much pe-rsonal sacrrfee and under many difficulties the college was kept open for students until the spring of 1865 The condition of the college building was sueb at this time as to repel stu dents. Thbe approach of the United States army toward Columbia in 1865 led the Confederate authorities to re move their purveying establishment from that city to Newberry. The college building was taken for this purpose. As a matter of necessity the exercises were now indefinitely suspended. A CHANGE OF LOCATION. After the war the college was re opened un.der the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Smeltzer. The college build ing was so near a ruin in 1868 that it was both unsafe and unsuitable. At icrisis an offer came from Wal halla of a suitable building and grounds, which was accepted by the Lutheran Synod of South Carolina, aLnd in November of that year t.he college with the faculty, a few stu dents and a. small amount of mov able property were moved to Wal halla. Here with varying success it remained until September, 1877, when, in answer to a offer from the people of Newberry to liquidate the unpaid claims against the college and to furnish the sum of $15,000 toward a new building, the college returned to its former home. BACK TO THE OLD STAND. The faculty of the college at the time of its relocation at Newberry was as follows: The Rev. G~. W. Hol land, President; D. Arrington, G. D. Haltiwanger and Geo. B. Cromer. It may be worth while to put on record the fact that the first four months of the session of 1877-78, the first after the return to Newberry, were spent -in the rooms now occupied by Mr. Salter as a photograph gallery. In February, 1878, the college building was so far completed as to permit of occupancy, and siLce that time the exercises have been regularly con tinued. HER ARMY OF GRADUATES. Since the founding of the college seventy-seven young men have been graduated, the first graduation being in 1869. Of this number five are dead. Of the living seventy-two alumni, sixteen are farmers and merchants, eleven are teachers, nine are physicians, eleven are lawyers and twenty-five are clergymen or in course of preparation for the minis try. The college has a well selected library of 7,500 volumes; a valuable and interesting collection of minera -Mogical and natural history speci mnens, known as the Sifley Museum; chemical and philosophical appratus, two literary societies, which meet weekly in well furnished halls, and other appliances for doing first-class work. THE WORK OF THE COLLEGE. There are three departments in the college: Preparatory, collegiate and technical. The preparatory course covers a period of three years, and is deined to fit yong men for college r or for active life. The collegiate department is divided into two courses, the classical, leading to the degree of bachelor of arts, and the philosophical, leading to that of bachelor of philosophy. THE PRESENT FACULTY. The faculty of the college at pres ent is: G. W. Holland, D. D., Ph. D., President, mental and moral science and English literature. 0. B. Mayer, M. D., physiology and bygiene. - , Latin, Greek and Hebrew. The Rev. A. G. Voigt, A. M., Ger man and French. The Rev. J. B. Fox, A. M., mathe matics and natural sciences. Thomas H. Dreher, A. M., prepara tory department. W. C. Schott, instructor in tech nical department. The resignation of Prof. H. Dy singer during the past summer caused a vacancy in the faculty which has not yet been filled. Prof. George G. Sale has been giving valuable help during the present session. Dr. 0. B. Mayer has been a member of the faculty from the founding of the college, except the few years the college was conducted at Walhalla. THE TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT. The technical department, of which I started out more particularly to write, is presided over by a thorough ly competent instructor. Prof. William C. Schott, the principal of this department, has had several years' experience in teaching in the State of Ohio, and before coming to Newberry took a -special course in the Eastman Business College to more thoroughly prepare himself for the work here. The president of Newberry Col lege felt the need of a department or course of study for young men who could fit themselves for busi ness and the practical affairs of life. Such young men as did not have the means or inclination to take the literary course but who desired a business training were to be provided for, and hence this technical depart ment was added to meet the require ments of the case. The large number of students al ready enrolled are evidence of the wisdom of the venture. It is a little remarkable, but I believe it is a fact. that there is not a single school in this State exclusively devoted to business training. PRACTICAL WORK. This technical department in New berry College embraces plain and ornamental penmanship, bookkeep ing, typewriting, shorthand and telegraphy. It is intended from time to time to add other studies in this department, and thus afford young men first-class advantages in all departments of technical training. Thorough bookkeeping is taught so as to fit young men to fill any place in banking or commercial houses. The course takes from three to six months, and after thorough exami nations upon completion of the course, the student is giv en a diploma in whatever depart ment he has successfully stood his examination.. Telegraphy is taught in the most approved manner and the studeDts are made thorough in receiving and sending messages. Three instru.. ments are all connected and the mes sages are taken by sound, no tape being used. Typewriting is also taught, and the department uses the caligraph, a very fine machine. Then there is a large class taking shortband. The students of the literary department are admitted to the business department without extra charge, and those who are in the business department are allowedl access to the literary department wit.hout additional charge. A DEMAND FOR THE WORK. There is great demand in-this day for practical education.. This depart ment in Newberry College was un dertaken to meet this demand, and is proving successful beyond the ex pectations of its originators. Several rooms in the north wing of the College have been fitted up suit ably for this department, and by the opening of the next session other im provements and additions will be made to meet the increased patron age. Thbis department should be es pecially attractive to young men in this State who desire a business edu cation-first on account of the thoroughness in instruction, and, second, on account of the small ex pense necessary to take the course at Newberry. Quite a number of young maen have entered during the present session. The enrolment at Newberry this year will reach 12.5 students or more. The work is thoroughly done in all departments. E. H. A. Major Armes Apologize. PITTSBURG, April 9.-A special to the Times from Harrisburg says: "Gov. Beaver has received a letter from Major Armes. It contains a most ab ject apology, and begs him to interfere or prevent the court-martial. Armes says that rather than submit to the disgrace of being court-martialed he would commit suicide. A Tue Tonic. When you don't feel well and hardly know what ails you, give B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial. It is a fine tonic. -T. 0. Callahan, Charlotte, N. C., writes: "B. B. B. is a fine tonic, and has done me great good." L. W. Thompson, Damascus, Ga., writes: "I believe B. B. B. is the best blood purifier made. It has greatly im proved my general health." An old gentleman writes: "B. B. B. gives me new life and new strength. If there is anything that will make an Old man young, it is.B. B. B." P. A. Shepherd, Norfik, Va., August I0th, 1888, writes: "I depend on B. B. B. for the p reservation of my health. I have had it in my family now near ly two years, and in all that time have not had to have a doctor." Thos. Paulk, Alapaha, Ga., writes: "I suffered terribly from dyspepsia. The use of B. B. B. has made me feel like a new man. I would not take a thousand dollars for the good it has done me." W. M. Cheshire, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I had a long spell of typhoid fever, which at.least seemed to settle in my right leg, which swelled up enormous ly. An ulcer siso appeared which dis eharged a cup full of matter a day. I then gave B. B. B. a trial and it cured me." ' lm, I ['HE .NEWBERRY Kind Words. Many persons speak to children hab itually in a rough way, without rea lizing that they would not use the same tone in addressing any others over whom they had authority. A lady who was on a visit to a family was in a nursery when a little girl was preparing for bed. Addressing her in a lively, cheerful tone, she said : "Now let me see how quickly you will hop out of your dress into your night gown," or something like that. The child turned to her usual care takers and said: "Why don't you speak that way instead of, "Come now, get your clothes off?" They are not seldom provoked into ill-humor and then punished. Kind words do not cost much. Though they do not cost so much, yet they accomplish much. 1. They help one's own good nature and good will. Soft words soften our own soul. Angry words are fuel to the flame of wrath, and make it blaze the more fiercely. 2. Kind words make other people good-natured. Cold words freeze peo ple, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful.

EARLY LESSONS IN ETIQUETTE. Importaace of the Proper Training of Chil dren at the Table. [Christian Advocate.] The manner of eating is, without doubt one of the surest tests of refine ment. This test is as applicable to brutes as to men. There is as much difference in the refinement of individ uals of the canine and equine and bovine and feline species as in those of the human species, and the difference is seen most plainly in their personal habits, and particularly in their habits of eating. There is no pain of the social sort more exquisite than the pain endured by a sensitive and re fined nature when by a stress of cir cumst.ances it is compelled to feed on husks with swine. This was the crown ing agony that brought the prodigal son to himself, and influenced him to return to his father's home, where the servants even had good food and to spare. The mother who would have her children form correct habits at the table should begin early and keep up the training till it becomes second nature to them to eat properly and be have fautlessly. She must create a proper sentiment in them by having the table well appointed, the food pre pared and served daintily and the order of the service unvarying. As to the table appointment, the cloth should be scrupulously clean, though it be only coarse material; it should be nicely starched and ironed and put on straight, its folds parallel with the side of the table and they with the side of the room. The napkins, of however coarse material, must also be clean, carefully ironed and put on in place. The arrangement of the dishes on the table must be uniform, regular and tasteful ; each dish, plate, spoon, glass, being in its appointed place and kept there. Any one accustomed to orderly appointments by habit soon learns to feel the necessity of taste and exactitude. These are fearfully neg lected in many families. Table furni tue of all sorts is hustled on without regard to appearance or order, the napery is disgusting, the carelessness in disposing it equally so, and the re sults are only such as might be ex pected. Children who are required to behave at table every day as they are taught to behave when company is present, must sit down every day to as well set a table as is set for com pany. As to food it is impossible to feel polite and well mnannered over unpal atable, coarse, ill prepared, indigestible food. Every mouthful of it provokes ill humor, resentment, dissatisfaction. The house mother who insists on good table manners mu.st give her family good food. How can one be gentle and polite and sweet tempered on a diet of sour bread, muddy coftee, seggy pota toes, heavy piecrust, leather batter cakes? Chesterfield himself would forget his manners if compelled for any length of time to subsist on such a diet. As to tne methods of eating, with the assistance of the knife and fork, the food may be so divided as to relieve the incisors or part of their work, and make small mouthfuls a pleasure. The grindcrs indicate that grinding in the mouth is a part of the process of nutri tion. Animals destitute of grinders bolt their food. It is not fitting that human beings should eat as cats and dogs do, since they have such a "nill" ready for use which dogs have not. The lips are so constructed that the mouth may be directly over the plate ; arms should be held at the side, not ex tended at right angle to the body. The elbows should be kept off the table. Leaning back in one's chair is agre vious violation of table etiquette. The mouth and fingers must be kept, dur ing the process of eating, absolutely clean. The use of the fork to the exclupion of the knife in carrying food to the mouth is insisted on. Leave taking is permissible only by permission of the hostess. Table talk should be light, agreeable, general, each person present contributing his or her quota to the general fund, and children observing the excellent rule of being "seen and and not heard," unless they are in such majority that the conversation is keyed to their level. Parents who will be at the pains to set their children such examples as they wish to see fol lowed, and will hold themselves to a high standard ofetiquette, will have no difficulty in attaining the results they desir~ Brain Ban the Ship. When the bark Golden Star left the 'hina Seas bound for San Francisco, the carried an unusual passenger in the ihape of a black bear weighing 460 pounds. He was confined in a strong, wooden box, which was placed on deck aft of the Captain's cabin. One night, as they were changing watch, the bear pried off one of the wooden bars of the cage and got out. Mr. Bruin- sniffed the breeze for a moment, and then began wandering about the deck. Suddenly he espied the man at the wheel, and without further ceremony he crawled up to him, and, rising on his haunches, struck the Jack tar a savage blow with his huge paw. The sailor, of course, let go of the wheel, the ship immediately broached to and fell off her the binnacle light was extenguished in the struggle. The first officer, alarmed at the sudden lurching of the vessel, rushed on deck. Close to the wheel he perceived a dark form. "Hello, you lubber!" bawled out the mate; "what do you mean sleeping at your post?" Then he administered a sound kick at what he mistook for the sleeping sailor, but which, to his horror, turned out to be the bear. With a snort of rage he hurled himself upon the first officer felling him to the deck with a blow of his paw. By this time the Captain and crew were all on deck, and for a few minutes there was a pitched battle, until the bear broke away, clambered up the shrouds, and perched himself comforta bly in the cross-trees. The Captain took an observation and found half the crew disabled, the original victim being nearly dead. Enraged at the specta cle the Captain peppered away with his revolver, and finally succeeded in kill ing the bear, who fell to the deck with a loud crash. When the Golden Star reached the Sandwich Islands her sails were torn to shreds, her binnacle broken, and she was badly damaged, and all on ac count of the savage bear that tried to run the ship. A Care or No Pay is what the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery guaranteed to those who use that wonderful medi cine for any blood taint or humors, eruptions, pimples, blotches, scrofulous sores or swellings. Money returned if it don't benefit or cure. General Washington's Farms. [From an Almanac of 1790.] General Washington possesses 10,000 acres of land in one body, where he lives ; constantly employs 250 hands ; keeps 24 plows going all the year, when the weather will pemit ; sowed, in 1787 600 bushels of oats, 700 acres of wheat and prepared as much corn, barley po tatoes, beans, peas, etc. ; has near 500 acres in grass and sowed 150 with tur nips. Stock, 140 horses, 112 cows, 235 oxen, heifers and steers and 500 sheep. The lands about his seat are all laid down in grass ; the farms are scattered around at the distance of two, three, four or five miles, which the General visits every day unless the weather is absolutely stormy. He is constantly making various and extensive experi ments for the improvement of agricul ture. He is stimulated with that de sire which always actuates him-to do good to mankind. In 1786 he killed 150 hogs, weighing 18,500 pounds, for his family use (exclusive of provisions for his negroes) which were made into bacon. Newspapers Go Up in Price.

NEW YORK, April 10.-The general passenger agents of the trunk lines, at a meeting to-day, considered at length the request of a number of leading dry goods merchants of this city that the time of excursion tickets to the coming Washington centen nial be extended. By the earlier ar rangement, tickets were to be good only to May 2. The passenger agents to-day decided to make these excur sion tickets good from April 26 to May 7.
