■ HP Military Drill For OirU. 'JFII'BIQftUh eastom of a military drill to tomato to*tit ottof* of toarn log kaa bern iutioduocid into lliis coouiry, aud i« already producing Hue result*. Tiio pupils who daily go through these exercises are dis tingoisLe<l from other yoaog ladies by their more erect bearing, their strong, vigorous api>e*rance, their graceful and coufideiit movement, and, beyond all their anperiot and easy «a!k. This last was the orige nal object of the exercise, and ih> instiacted were known as the drill or walking das' I One of the fe male inslitations of Baltimore ha* adopted this mode ol instructing and developing its pupils physical- ly, and every afternoon for thirty inmates, the school is put through the exercises by an expert drill master. The scene presented is novel and interesting to any who have the priv.lege of witnessing it, whether thevarepineats. youngadutts of mtafeattror children. The class ofdfrlt, numbering about thirty, gia would a oonipany of the regiment it the command ill in,” and await fur. her orders, lough most of them have only- been d^|M since the opening o! the Mpbol in September, they are already profleient amt soldierly in th«ir oeaiing, so rapidly does (be yoluig female take Instruction. All the mano< uvers are executed with acoggacy and aimultaneously, and witweviilciil« relish Common time, quick time and doable qaick time are made at word of command, and they come to a good bank from a doable qaick. The drop on one knee, ms if to receive a cavalry charge, is well done, the moveim nt probably being the most warlike of all the exercises. A wabble at the knee and the full action at the hip joints are parts of the requirements. One of the most pleasant features of the drill is to see these happy, Mailing yonng creatures go thrwugb the various salutes. A spectator leaves after witness ing the drill with thought of cbeer- ful youth, beauty, female warriors ana future society belles. He is also fully impressed with the fact that the paiticipants in the drill have style of carriage, full chests and upright shoulders that are sad ly wanting io most American girls. It is the habit of outdoor walking that gives to the English woman her longer lease of lite and greater duration of physical charms. The English woman’s foot is larger and firmer than that of her American cousin, but just aa shapely. The walking enstoms of the En glish and German ladies are being introdooed introdaoed in America, and ere long it ia hoped that the nigh order of American female beauty may he in ad- rishable re the Mia* ha* beauty may aa durable and aa marked Tanead life aa it is now p rtshai and uncertain.

John Calvin, the first title in Vbl. VII. oi A Idea’s Manifold Cyclope dia, occupies seven pages, and Covenuea, the last title, the name of the chief mountain range in the Sontb of France, is given nearly one page. Between these there are over 600 pages, including conaidera bly over 100 illustrations, devoted to topics in every department of human knowledge, for instance: Calw, a manufacturing town in Wnrtemberg, 11 Hues space; Calyp so, in Grecian legend, 9 lines; Calyx (in botany,) 30 lines; Cam (a river,) 9 lines; Csmaldohtes (a re Campaign “Yarns,” (Pro* T*a Pm Dm Isdax.) Doling the late campaign it is said that one of tha candidates was one di^y passing a field when away off from the road he hs|>pened to espy what he thought was a quali fied Democratic voter of Marion Codnty. Not wishing to trouble the larm* r by calling him to the road and yet not being willing to lose an opportunity to do a little electioneering the candidate an- hitched bis horse fit m the baggy and determined to go out iu the field where the man was. His chagrin may be better imagined than de. crihed when on reaching the figure he discovered that it waa no man Ht all but only a well got ten up scaiecrow. A man living in the Savage neigh borhood iu this county has recent ly written a letter to Capt. B. K. Tillman urging him to ruo as au ind- p<-udent c mdidate lor Govern or. lie assures Capt. Tillman that he would have the vote* of all the “jioor white people aud the dar kies” D he would consent to mu aud promises to stamp Marion, Georgetown, Horry and Williams- burg counties for him if it should be necessary. He says that Mr. Bigham would have been Domina ted in the first primary eb ctiou if the “darkies” bad beeu allowed to vote, and that the time is ripe for a change iu “guberuatioual” affairs. Capt. Tillman says he is' glad bis county does not raise such cattle. It is reported that two of the candidates in the first primary elec tion who lacked a large number of voles of being Dominated met one day and in the course of the con versation each related his expe rience during the c<<mpa gn. Each one expressed himself as surprised that he bad not been nominated for the office tor which he was an aspirant. One of them seemed to be unusually disappointed aud des- I oudi ut over the small vote be had received and bis seeming disap pointment aroused bis companion’s deepest sympathy. Soiu the most sympathetic tones he said; “You did receive a small vote, Mr. X., and I am very, very sorry for you.” “You hud better be sorry for your self,” excitedly sbonted Mr. X. in stentorian tones, “for you got a mighty blankety blanked little vo*e yourself.” The FanujTs Alliance- (From the Binhopville Enterprise.) Mr. J. E. Pettigrew, appointee to canvass this county and organize sob-allianoes, was here last Mon day evening. A meeting was held in Kelley Bru’s. new store hoose, where Mr. Pettigrew made an ad drees setting forth the necessity and advantages of the Farmers’ Alliauoe movement. At the close of Mr. Pettigrew’s speech, It per sons present annoniioad theft will- ingugsa to enroll their names as charter members. All who had enrolled their names were request ed to meet at the Masonic Hall for the purpose of organization, which was effected by the election of the following officers: Shepard Nash, President; J. W. English, Vices President, J. G. Shaw, Secretary ; T. L. Barnes, Treasurer; Jas. E. Shaw, Lecturer; Thos. Baskin, Assistant Lecturer; N. Bramlett, Chaplain: W. A. James, jr., Door Keeper; J. G. Gibson, Asst. Dooi Keeper. The Farmers’ Alliance can be made largely beneficial to the agricultural interests of this community if the objects aud in tentions of the order is adhered to and toe work pushed forwaid.

Sbeppaid. Go vert or ( Sheppard having professed this fiiemlship, as be evidently felt it, in the beginning of the campaign, never wavered. In the midst of calls and nominations, and corns mendatiuns and invitations and flattery that might have shaken even a stronger man than he, Gov ernor Sheppard remained firm in calm and dignified loyalty. He carried bimselt well, patting troth and manly good faith above honors that seemed almost absolutely with in his grasp. Accidental Shooting. John William-, colored, while oat banting ou Monday night, of last week ; waa accidentally shot, while up a tree after what be thought was a’possum, by bis own gun which he bad leaned against a tree. It is thought that the dogs iu cbnse after the house cat, (in stead of a po*sum) which was up the tree, ran against the gun firing it off.
