Dr. John C. DuBois, a well known resident of Hudson, has lately com pleted the election of a delightful house in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and removed to that place with his family ,for the winter. A, private let ter from Dr. DuBpis gives some in teresting j facts concerning Orange burg and its surroundings, from which wc take the liberty of making the fol lowing extracts: "The South Carolina railroad runs 4'rom Charleston northwest lb.rough the centre of the Slate, and forks like the letter Y, the right hand arm *o ing to Columbia, the capital; the left hand to Augusta, Ga. At the fork of the Y is Branchville, 17 miles north of which, on the Columbia arm, lies Orangeburg, 01 miles from Co lumbia, 79 from Charleston and G5 by rail from Aiken. It is an ancient ]burgb,;founded before the Revolution, and named after William III, Prince of Orange, and King of England i:i 1083. It is the county town of Or angeburg County, and has a popula tion of about 1S00. iL was much in jured in Sherman's march in 18C5, the old couit bouse, built in 1826, being burned. The present one, a fine brick building, was creeled in 1875. Russell street, the business streot, having sutfercd severely from lires, is now compactly built up in 'brick, nnd Orangeburg is a thriving business town. The principal crop is cotton, the short staple. The soil is fertile, being a red clay, with a thin laj-er of sand on top. Corn, rye and olhcrjcercnls flourish ; the sorghum, (Chinese sugar cane) also is raised. The climate is lovely- -about the same as Aiken, which has so great u reputation as a health resort for lung and throat diseases, and is almost at the same elevation above the sea, With the same pine forests and sandy soil and consequently dry, pure air. The thermometer, since I have been here, has averaged about 5C degrees, mornings and evenings cool, requir ing wood fires on the hearth, but middle of day sunny, warm and de lightful. Wood is plentiful aud cheap. No one burns coal. 1 have an open coal stove, of tile, new pat ent, which is here considered a curi osity. Board is cheap, ?2o a month at tbe hotel, and much cheaper in boarding houses. There are fine bunt ing and fishing ; tbe north fork of the Edisto river, half a mile from the Village, supplies fidh in plenty. Rice, hominy, sweet potatoes and chickens are cheap and plentiful. In short, as a health resort the place is fully equal to Aiken, which being famous charges fancy watering place prices, while Orangeburg is cheap. I have been most warmly and heartily welcomed by ihe best citi zens, most of the principal people having already called on us. I talk "stalwart" republicanism freely, when necessary, and am not even rebuked. 1 am emphatic on this point, a con trary impression prevailing with us. I could not ask a greater kindness than I have met with here. True, my wife is a niece of an old and prominent resident, the surrogate of the county (judge of probate, they call it here), which to a certain ex tent fixes our status. I have been here several times and am pretty well known?and have built a bouse, pay taxes and bring capital to the place, and am not dependent on this people i for a living?all of which makes a > difference, doubtless, but I know that any respectable Northern family will be heartily welcome here, regardless bf politics. Most of tbe principal merchants of the village are of North ern birth, and the society is good. Wo arc delighted with our house. It is all yellow pine, with tbe inside finish unpaintcd. I treat with raw oil and shellac, bringing out the rich grain of the wood. It is harder than oak?what wc know ns Georgia pine, and is tho ordinary lumber here. My lot is four acres, a pine and oak grove, 300 feet frontage on the princi pal street, just out of the business por tion of the village, and five minutes walk from the railroad station. Back of me is Claflin University, for color ed studcnlo of both sexes, which has 300 students at present. Three of the professors are natives of Orangeburg so there is no prejudice here against negro oducntion. 1 have visited the university and heard coal black boys translating Latin and Greek. There aro plenty of churches bf various de nominations, and a Young Men's Christian Association. The fare by rail to Orangeburg from New York via Camdcn Junction is $24.50?through sleeper without change. Time.32 hours : leave New York by Pennsylvania railroad at 10 p. in., and arrive in Orangcburg at G p. m. on tho. secqnd day. The fare by steamer to Charleston is $20. A through ticket to Oruugeburg by bteunier and rail costs about ?22 - time 3 days. I should like to sec Northerners here, and will cheerfully furnish in formation concerning tho region to any one who desires; and will write to nie at Orangeburg.? Chatham, (N. Y.) Courier. An Edllor'6 Dream. He fell asleep after n lime, and lo ! ho dreamed again. And it seem lo him in a vision that, having armed himself with certain papers and books, he turned his steps once more toward the place and knocked at the gntc. "Hello, "is that you again?'1 said Peter. "What do you wish?" Let these persons again come forth," replied ibo editor, and Peter this lime made them all pass through the gate and stand outside. They came as before and uttered tho same cries as before. "Why didn't you notice that big c<jg I gave your" yelled llic first. ?%It was rotten/' replied the editor. "Why didn't you write up my soda fountain ?*' cried the druggist. "You bad your tickets printed at the other office," calmly replied the local man. "Why did you write about old Tomlinson's bens anil and never speak of my now gator" shouted the third. "Ohl Tomliu6on paid for bis adver tising and you didn't. Here's the bill," said ibo editor Why did you spell my name wrong in the programme?" groaned the local talent. "Take a look at ibis manuscript of yours und see for yourself," said the editor with a grim smile. The rest of the company yelled their complaints in unison, und the editor calmly sorted out a scries of bills for unpaid subscription, and presented each with oue ; and it wus so, thou when they had received them, they all tore their hair and rushed violently down u utoep place into the sea, and St. Peter, taking the editor calmly 1*3* the band, led biiu within the gate and said : "Come, friend ; the chaps manag ed to slip through here in spile of us, but thanks to ibo press, wc now know what sort of fellows they are* Come in and Btay ; we need a few Buch men as you in here.*' Woman's Softening Influence. '?It's astonishin'," remarked the old forty-niner this morning as be nodded over bis glass to our reporter, "it's aftlonishin' what a coward a man is at home?a rt-g'lar crawliit' sneak, by Jove ! I've traveled u good bit and hchl up my end in most o'lbe camps on the coast sineeM?. I've got three bullets inside o' me. I've shot an' been bbot at, an' never beard nobody say I hadn't us good grit as most fel lers tbat'u goin'. But at homo I'm a kyote. Afore I'd let the old woman kuow that her h<*t buacuit wasn't Al when it's like stitf amalgam, I'd XI11 my solf aa full as a retort. I've done it lols o' times. Most o' ma teeth ie gone from luggin' on beofsleaks that ibo <ald woman fried. D'ye think 1 roar out an' cuss when 1 go over a chair in tho dark? No, sir. While I'm rubbin' my shins an' kecpin' back the tears, I'm likewise swca'.in' fur fear the old woman has been woke by the upset. "It didn't used to bo so," sighed I tho poor fellow, thoughtfully lubbing bis shining scalp. "When wo w.ih first hitched I thought I was the sup erintendent but alter a year or two of argyin' Ibo pint I settle down lo shovin' the car at low wages. I kin lick any man o' my ago an' size," cried the gentleman, banging the sa loon table with his wrinkled fist. "I'll shoot, knife, Gland up or rough an' tumble for coin, but when I hang my baton the peg in the hall an' take off my muddy boots, an' hoar tho old woman ask if lliats mo, you bet the .starch comes right out o' me."?Vir* rjinitl (Nav) Chroniu'c ?Said one of society's smart orna ments to n lady friend : "This is leap year, and I suppose you'll be asking some one lo marry you?" 'Oh, ho,' was ibo reply, "my finances won't prcmit mo to support a hus band." Fence Law. Editor Orangeburg Democrat: The fence law is creating quite a sensn'ion and I fear it will be tbe means of dividing the Democratic par ty, for tbe poor must stand together or bo engulfed by the rieb. My op ponent, "Kdisto," thinks no one should be allowed a voice In so grave a question unless be be a land owner. I would remind my friend "Kdisto" that in order lo carry out bis views he would have lo get tho Legislature to disfranchise the poor before his way could be made clear, and no doubt many of " Kdisto V followers would rejoice at such a law. Hut 1 envy not the rich man, nor would I care if he were ten tiineu richer, for then the poor would have a much better chance. "Kdisto" also refers to fencing in slavery limes when rails could be drawn so easily by Cull'ec f. cm the forest, ami wc would infer that it is his grand objection to fencing now. I say let every man get bis living by the sweat of bis face as the bread of a laboring man is said lo bo sweet. 1 am in sympathy with all who have not timber sulllcicut to keep uy their fencing ami would advise all such victims to write on and go to work tbe right way. There arc loo many broken down farmers who have allow ed their fencing to rol down waiting for the fence law to be abolished. My friend "Kdisto" thinks that the law, requiring a man to keep his fence stiicily according lo its letter cannot be enforced. I beg to differ with hire, because there cannot be r- law which tbe .State cannot enforce. "Kd isto" seems lo place great stress upon the mere fact of owning land ai; en tilling the possessor lo complete ami entire control at the exclusion of all others ; but from Ibe very nature of tbe case there can be but one lalul owner, who gave this earth to his creatures from the beginning to be en joyed by all alike. Man i* only a tenant ut will and that will is the will of God. 1 would like to know if "Kdisto is a Democrat, ami if so on what kind of soup he was raised? I judge, however, on turtle soup be cause be bus crawled out on land. Watch. How She Began the Year. It was a beautiful morocco-bound, gill-edged diary, self-clasping memo randum, cash accounts,' calendar, wilb all the modern ulluchmcnts. Delicately traced in mauve ink she had written : Jouunry I.?This is the first day of iho new year. It is a happy New Year's day.

Bishop Haven's Last Words. When Ibe lale Bishop Haven was told by his physician that bis cud was near, he replied, "When that agony was upon me at the beginning of this illness, I feared it was tbe grip of death." He exp leased a wish lo see as many of his friends as possi ble, and during the day many called upon him, to each of whom he had something to say. To one caller his remark was, "Good night, doctor; when we meet again, it will be good morning." An hour before he pass ed away, be fell asleep. On awaken ing, be looked up and said, "There is no river here ; it is all beautiful."' He did not apeak again. Nothing makes a woman more es teemed by the opposite sex than chas tity, whether it be that wc always prix.o those most who are hardest lo come at, or that nothing besidco chas tity, with its collateral attendants? truth, fidelity and constancy?-gives the man a property in the person he loves, and consequently endears her lo him above all things. Common Observations, Editor Orangcburg Democrat: I bave read a piece beaded, "One Thousand n Year," and signed "A Practical Girl;" but cannot agree with her that women practice more deceit than men. I don't wish to ar gue, nor say anything disrespectful or mortifying, but am ^constrained in justice to my sex, to nltetupfc a few random remarks. First, I shall apeak of love, "that dreamy, potent opeil, that beauty flings around the heart: I Know its power, alas! too well, 'tis going, love and I must part." Men love money more than women. Jt has a greater charm and a stronger influence over them than any thing j else. There are exceptions of course, I hut like true affection, rare. Invari ably on inquiring about women, whether young, widow* or old, they scarcely ever fail lo ask Ibis question, "Is she wot lb any money?" if answer ed in the affirmative, the reply will tie, "Oh, I will try and get her." The money is the object, and nothing is said about lhat passion, which like honesty, much talked about but little understood. There arc, no doubt, men in your town, who arc paying jbulf of their sajary for a runted j house ; instead of being honest with their wives and say. "I can't afford it, wo must live in c couple of rented rooms till wc can do better." Matri mony, in my bumble estimation, i3 purely a delicate business transac tion. Each patty should be natural and unsophisticated in their likes and dislikes. To speak freely of the di.s positional elnructei islie of each other, i and if in ill health, cay so. Men us a class teil no secrets on their sex, I ami Ehouhl not won.cn do the same? Ufa man wishes to marry well, and I ; ? ' suppose all think tbny do, be 'i6 spo- j * ken of as a gentleman in every sense of the word ; attends church regular-1 ly, affectionate, not given to strong I drink ; and everything that is praise worthy. Hut alas 1 as soon as be is I married, a .whisper tomes stealing through tbe air, such a one is in debt,' he docs not live happily with hie wife, J be is seen pretU often at Die bur, and so it goes. Who is to blame, Mr. Editor? Tbe women every time?' All, no! I fear deceit bits buaji foster-j ed, tbe bubble baa exploded, spread*] ing sadness and d.samjUioinlmcnt I around their fireside. Nr/thing is so cruel in my eyes, as lo se\i a wicked,: deceitful man drag down as his wife,: a pure, good woman. One who has been accustomed to every luxury and 1 kindness, to lie deceived, ill-treated, half-starved and despised, by one: who has taught her to love bin:. My second and last point wi.l I e on drink. There are, no doubt, little as .vomen arc aware of it, the fewest I number of men who do not drink ; and I "no man runs drunenkness alone." "That is one of the carrion crows! lhat go in a iiock." .Signs of bar rooms can be seen moving along the streets. Yes, it it- called by fancy names, 'tis true, but alas! how muny Rrc deceived with Mountain Dew. Hut uo more. Would that Ihere wore more purity in ull clawe? ; und men, who are the "lords of creation," mude in the likeueas of God, if Lbey disre gard tbe counsel of tbe pure and good let tiicm ulouc. I am done; and if too severe, it cannot hurt the good and true. I bave made many observaLions in my short hie, and hono you will give! space to this article. I am your well wisher and constant friend. John Iiion. February 21st, 1880. "If you were a decent person," re marked a shrill female voice on tbe j (railway, "you would shut down that j window ami not expose^nc to tbe j draft." ".Ma-lam," was the reply as the window was softly lowered, "I thought from your face you were over forty-five, and therefore out of the draft.'' Ami notwithstanding the fact this wretch was on ibo train the cuts did not run off the track or the locomotive burst its boiler. The most reasonable explanation of tbe present remarkable weather is that, this being leap year,'spring is making loyo to winter, and the old fellow consequently has thawed con siderably. Tut: question Is continually being asked "What shall we do with'our boys?" The people' know what to do with their boys, but the trouble ap pears to be that the boys wonlt let them do it. Impudent Mendacity. There is a point where patience ceased to be a virtue, nnd the follow ing precious piece of impubent men dacit.y from the New York Times is enough to provoke a saint: Tbe appeal which wc publish this morning from a number of well-known citizens for aid in relieving the dis stress of destitute coloicd emigrants in Kansas,.is calculated lo touch the heart of of every person animated wills a spirit of discriminating benev olence; These'poor creatures, driven from a genial climate and familiar occupations by the cruel injustice o' those who ought to be their best friend.--, find themsclvea in the midst of a Northern winter, to v.ji03c rigor they are unaccustomed, without means and with out employment, aud hence dependent on chaiity to save them from starvation. They may have gone into Ibis exodus from the land of bondage somewhat blindly, but is was a blind groping for a land of promise in which they might enjoy the l ights and opportunities of men, ami ought lo beget sympathy rather than censure. No doubt, with tbe opening of spring they will lind among a generous people the opportunities which they seek, but in tbe meantime they ought not to be allowed to suffer. They have claims upon us such as no other people in distress in any part of the world can possess. The res ponse ought to be prompt and liber al. Now, this is exactly what the press from every part of the South said would i appen to these unfortunate bedeviled colored suH'urers who have been cojoled away from their homes in the South by avaricious scoundrels ami partisan villains, who have fol lowed up these colored people with false tales, marvelous cuts and every species of blandishment which could be devised to carry ' ncsc people away for a certain per centage on their railroad fare or so much a head for the political cry wjiipb v. as to be rais ed. "These poor creatures driven away from th-.-ir congenial climate!" Foul and infamous falsehood ! Who has drived them away ? Who wants to do it? Whose interest is subserv ed by it but the prowling scoundrels who are in the service of their malig nant masters, and in the pa}' of avar^ icious Northern corporations ? These facts have been attested by intelli gent colored men themselves before the exodus investigation, and yet here is a respectable Northern jour nal which deliberately fosters a foul lie without a shadow of prolenco lo sustain it. What hope is there for the count!}', for peace, for any thing worth living for, whilst such things are possible, ar.d^v righteous public judgment does not hiss them to SCOm? They hounded us for fifty long years as slave driver.-: and tyr ants until they pushed the maddened South into a ten illic war, and now that they have torn the slavea from their former masters and precipitable them into a huge political machine for lie publican aggrandizement, they are unwilling yet to leave us anil our colored neighbors n shred of hope, of peace, of prosperity, of "domestic tranquility." The death of Jennie Tyler, a niece of the cx-Prcsident Tyler, was an nounced on the 18th inst. Ten years ago she was one of the reigning belles of Washington. She possessed also a comfortable fortune. Yesterday lr.T dead body lay stretched on a ta ble in n rickety and squalid tenement of Brooklyn, her husband. William Collins, being loo poor to defray the expenses of her funeral. It appears that she has wealthy relatives in New York, who refuse to bury her. Jen nie was married twice. Her fust husband squandered her money ; her second husband, Collins, was poor and thrown out of work. It is said that Jennie's father lives in Marlis burg, Pa., and her sister lives in a handsome four-story brown stone bouse in a fashionable locality in New York. Jennie Tyler was born in Richmond, Ya., in 1S18. A contemporary declares that goal is a peculiarly aristocratic malady. It is one of thoio diseases that none but the rich can afford to enjoy. A rccc.it medical report says that gout is hugely on the increase in America. This is very gratifying. It shows that we are becoming a rich nation. Let gout and wealth increase in the land. Patriarch ot the Fork. Editor Orangcburg Democrats In the course of three score years and ten, I have many times read of families rcmarkablo for size, weight, number, &c., and have as often thought if honor attached to a locali ty producing a largo family Orange burg Cotpity, youth Carolina would wear the laurels. Old Mr. William Sjnoak, the patri arch of llie family of that name, is a native, of German extraction, born earl}' in February, 1784, consequent lias just entered Iiis U7lb year, and since 1811 has been a resident o( that ?section of the county between North and South Ed is to rivers familiarly known as the Fork. Tbe old man and bis wife, the last of whom died a few years ago, raised thirteen children, ten now living. I They had first six sons, then two I daughters, then three sons, and last I two daughters. The eldest is Seven. i ty-Qve year.-: of ?gc and tho youngest fifty. Tbe following is a statement of the descendants of Mr. William Sinoak from information obtained through living heads of familcs and through adults in families whoso beads have died: Children living 10, dead 3; grand-children living 101, dead 35; Igreat-grandchildren living 391, dead CD; great-great-grandebildreii living 70, dead ? ; making tbe following to tal of descendants, living ?7?, dead j 110 ; or a grand total of 691 descend ' ants. ? The most remarkable feature of this family (one which 1 think would re quire a search of both hemispheres to lind a parallel) is the fact that both the old people lived lo see their youngest ami thirteenth child a grand mother. Who can beat that? Notwithstanding the old man's sight and hearing arc much impaired, bis general health is good, and he would be quite, smart for orte of bis age bad it not been for a fall he got some years ago, which injured oho. thigh and hip, from which be has nev er entirely recovered. He is a great talker, and has a most vivid recollec tion of events which transpired in his boyhood and early manhood. He was much of a Nimrod in time, and relates with the greatest minuteness incidents of his deer and wolf bunts. Many a stately buck and ravenous wolf succumbed to his dead j ly aim with '.hat old flint an steel mus j ket that he would not lay down in ex change for an amateur sportsman's hundred dollar double-barrel. The percussion principle was at that time latent in the brain of the inventor, but tbe old man did feel the need of improved fire arms, for when be drew the trigger of that old musket on game there was sure lo be "meat in tho pot." He killed the last wolves lhat were known to be in this part of ibe country. , We entertain a fervent hope that the old man may live to be a centen arian, (if the writer is alive) there will be n proposition for a grand pic nic and reunion. A circle with a di ameter of fifteen miles would inclose four-fifths of the family. The writer has known this family sixty ypars as a hare) working, indus trious people, and not a drunkard among them. Who can beat that? J. J. S. The Origin of the $. Tbe editor of the London White hall Review at a dinner recently pro pounded the following: "What is the origin of tho sign for the American dollni ?" The American consul did no', know. It was suggested by one of the guests, upon the authority of "Notes and Queries," that the sign was a sort of monogram of the United Stales, from 4,U. S." Hut this would not do. The American dollar, says tbe editor, is taken from the Spanish dollar, and ibo sign is to be found, of [course, in the associations of the Spanish dollar. Wo littered the ta ble with books in lite course of out researches, but I proved my point in I Ihp end. On Ibe reverse of Ihe Span I Ish dollar is a representation of the I Pillars ot Hercules, und around each J pillar is a scroll, with the inscription, ilP/m ultra." This device in the course of lime has degenerated into the sign which stands at present for 'American as well as Spanish dollars, u8." The scroll rohr.'d tlic pillars, 1 take it, represents the two serpents sent by Juno to destroy IIercule3 in bis cradle. Modern Society. Jn reading of Hie manners and cus toms of uncivilized people wo are wont to exclaim, "How horrible! What a blessing it is that we aro civilized!" We look with disgust upon the half naked and bedaubed savage, and our ladies would, Jjjfcu away with a shudder at the sight.0/? woman of the Fiji Islandsi Wo aro a civilized nation, but do we act as such? or does that portion of us, which considers itself the ultimatum ; not only of civilization but of truest re?nement ? This class, designating itself as the crane, tiie bon ton, sets itself up as an examp.e of intelh genee. politeness and refinement, for the cllmr classes of civilization to follow. Anil those who do follow, generally become what Darwin en deavored to prove us to be at llrjt. One should strive lo become truly ra fined, and if tbe heart is educated as well as tbe head, we will reach that true refinement, which is the founda tion of genuine aristocracy, hut, what is our modern society? What are its chief attributes? Vanity, de ceit, self-conceit, idleness, pomposi ty, extravagance in dress, and a strict observance of every rule that is ridiculous and silly. We lind no r.ncu in this bogus aristocracy, but a set of puppets, with more perfumed locks than brains, and more cunning than wit; who with eye-glass to half clos ed eyes, smirk and bow to the litllo wooden dulls who take the lead in Ibis circus. If a man or woman is educated, will not he or she converse in an in telligible way, and not aim to speak in riddles more difficult lo solve than that of the Sphynx? A. lady, conversing with a gentleman?her mouth filled with imaginary pebbles ?once said : "How I do enjoy yow waw stories. I am suah you must have been n varnli g?llont snldifthl I am no Omazqn, yet I should deahly love to pawlicipate once in a bottle." uAh! my dear mahdom," replied the gallant Quixotic, I'Yqti know nothing of wah ; never clcsiaw it. j should never seek to behold a bottle.'.' Aik( yet this highly educated and, refined "soldiah" often sought and felt the in fluence of the "bottle." The dicss of the savage shocks us, and yet, take one of our society la dies, in full costume, and place her beside a chief lad of one of the ?outfi sea islands, nnd where is the differ ence. The dress of our lady js drawn so tight about her figure, that it greatly resembles the liku?which is a kind of fringed band, the train of it being at the right side?worn by those women. In her dress she can move freely, wlifereas it si with great ditllculty thaj, pur ladies step. These savage women wear their hair fright fully frizzled, falling over the face, so as lo almost conceal the eyes. Our iadies dress their hair in tho same manner. The civilized following thu customs ol the uncivilized, and then pride themselves op being the leaders of the world 1 When die gnage of society is sense, and love of knowledge, and men and women consider that they wore made lor something higher than lo talk ."nothings," am) disfigure their bo dies with what they call fashionable dress, then, wc will not be plngued with "shedyitea" and "big-bugs," nnd Ibe manners and customs of polite society will be worty bf imitation. Ono Aspect of Leap Year. "Leap year gives young ladies a gentleman's privileges in making love." Perhaps it does. Hut no re spectable young man will have nn}* thing to do with a young lady who takes a position on the street corner, and not only wintcs at the gentlemen as they pass by, but also squirts to bacco juice on their coat-tails. Nor would it look well for a dozen oy more young ladies to loaf around in front of a church an hour and a Jialf on Sunday nights, sparring, and knocking one anolbei's hats olf, and dancing on tbe sidewalk, in order to kill time until tho congregation is dismissed, mid then buckle up to a young main and escort him home. Not any. TiiEREi? a well known law in phi losophy that two bodies cannot occu py tbe same place at tbe same time. Anil yet, in reckless defiance of tb.i? principle, there are young men who will persist in keeping the same chair that contains their sweethearts. So we have been informed.
