Frank Parrott i* the author ized agent of The Herald. He will tolicit subscriptions and advertise ments and receipt for money. Nothing so clearly demonstrates the fallacy of the demands for free coinage than the mere mention of the fact that its advocates iuvariably avoid any discussion as to its merits, and when pressed to give their rea sons take refuge in generaltios that mean nothing whatever. he will have to give one hundred dollars in value to say nothing of the interest ho pays for the loan. This 1 is just simply one of the many evils that will result from free coinage. •lust at this time the Southern farmer finds liir lot a pretty hard one in consequence of the low price of cotton, hut if he thinks he can stand a good deal more pinching, then all he has to do is to join in the cry for free coinage and keep it up until Congress enacts a law to t hat effect, and he will then have his fondest dreams of hard times more than realized.

In all of these years now nearly four score. With all of the scenes bis mind hath In stores There Is none so vlrid In memories glow As those of his youth In that long, long ago; The face of each playmate as fair and as bright As the red sunset glow on a yesterday night; The form and the voice, each face and each name, In his memory's eye are erer the same. As ho rooks to and fro he's living once more The pleasures his memory holdeth In store, He feels not the' weight of his four score yean, His eye Is not dimmed by tho mist of tears; There's rather a smile In his fading eyes. As thoughts of bis youth In his mind nrlso; The deep wrinkled face grows brighter and fair. As thoughts leave their sweetest czpresslor there. Rock grandfather, rock and live over again, Those days of your youth that bring you ne pain; The years of your toll, their troubles and care In memory and no resting place there.

Wallace, the editor of the Newberry Observer, has been elected to a professorship in the Columbia Female College, and will enter on the discharge of his duties at the opening of the fall session. This will, of course, necessitate his withdrawal from the field of journal ism at a time when the services of inch an able and conscientious editor are most sorely needed. The signal ability and uniform courtesy that Mr. Wallace displayed in the manage ment of his paper, made it, by com mon consent, one of the best weeklies in the State and one that reflected the greatest credit both upon himsell and the profession of journalism. I: every paper in the State were con ducted on the high plane of the Ob server, and every editor were as thor oughly conscientious in the discharge of bis dnties, as Mr. Wallace, they would exercise ten fold the influence they now do. Onr best wishes wil go with him in hie new field of labor and we trnst that the same success that attended him in his journalistic career may attend him in the pursuit of a more congenial profession. All the people of the State, irre spective of party or faction, will deeply regret that failing health has made it necessary for Judge Ker shaw to retire from the bench and thereby close a public service that has been in the highest degree honor- abli, and one that any man might envy. In every public position to which he has been called he has serv ed the people with perfect fidelity and to the utmost limit of his ability and his record, both in public and private has been without stain. Amid the dauntless warrior** who hslped to make the Army of Northern Virginia Immortal, he was one of the bravest of the brave, and hil sword was ever found flashing in the foremost of the fight. South Carolina has never given birth to a more knightly soldier or grander gen tleman than Joseph B. Kershaw, and all our people will join in the earnest Wish the evening of his life maybe Spent in peace and happiness, sus tained ae be will l« by the conscious* ness of duty nobly and unselflhly dece it would be of great benefit to the IWUdtry at large, especially the South, if people could be made to see the gfMt Injury that is being done to the business interests of every section, by the demand for free coinage, which means no more nor less than that the government be made to give the owners of silver about thirty-five cents for every dollar that is coined from this metal. Of course the farmers and laborers will be the ones to pay this difference, and consequent ly will suffer in proportion. No man who gives the subject intelligent study, unless he is a demagogue cr owns an interest in a silver mine will fail to discover not only its utter fallacy bnt also the serious injury to all business that will inevitably result fnm its passage. Once let it go into Operation and the man who wishes to borrow money will get it in this de preciated silver, bnt when he goes to sign the note he will find that it is drawn ao as to be made payable in ggld, in otber words be gets a real nltieiijWrfWlmtor Jtell ’ 1 ■‘‘“M ill THE OLD VIOLIN MAKERS. Tha Maimer la Which the Wood Waa Handled to Oot Porfootlon. The great violin maker* all lived within the compass of one hundred and fifty years. They chose their wood from a few (Treat timbers felled In the South Tyrol, and floated down In rafta, pine aud maple, sycamore, pear and ash. They examined these to find •treaks and veins and freckle*, vAn- able superficially when brought out by varnishing. They learned to tell the dynasty of the pieces of wood by touching them; they weighed them, they (truck them and listened to judge how fast or slow, or how resonantly they would vibrate In answer to strings. Some portion* of the wood most be porou* and soft, ■ome of close fiber. Just the right beam wo* hard to find; when found it can be traced all through the violin of •ome great master, and after hi* death in thote of his pupils The piece of.wood waa taken home and aeaaoned, dried In the hot Brescia and Cremonla ann. The hotue of Stradl* varius, the great master of all, U described a* having been as hot aa an oven. Tne wood was there soaked through and through with sunshine. In this great heat the olla thinned and simmered slowly and penetruted far into the wood, until the varnish be* came a part of the wood iteelf. The old violin makers used to save every bit of the wood, when they fennd what they liked, to mend and patch and Inlay with it So vibrant and so resonant Is the wood of good old violins that they murmur and echo, and sing In answer to any sound.-* Detroit Free Prase.

One of the mast perilous occupation!, next to the manufacture of dynamite, le diving for pearls The successful diver must be courageous active and endowed with great presence of mind. A diver engaged in the pearl fisheries of the gulf of California tells the story of one of his experiences He had filled a bag with oysters and woe about to ascend when, looking up, he saw a big shark watching him. To rise to the surface would be fatal The man moved quickly to the opposite side of a rook, stirred up a great cloud of mud, rose la the darkness and reached tha aide of the boat Just la time to eeeape the laws of the Mg man-ester. Had the diver hesitated an instant to con* eeal his movements In the only manner possible hit life would have paid the penalty.-Harper's Young People.
