A OF BIT LIFE.
A maiden sat -within the cor
And sang as maur times before
A man to daily toi) pi.'ssfd hy,
o love nor pleasure liv his * ye.
Bet when he heard th * merry song
He "whistled as tu went along.
A woman by the wintle^ wept
For one who in tho churchyard slept.
But when upon her Le:.r;ng fell
. That tune she knew and IOTPCS so well,
^ The flood of btfrnirg t: r.rs wes staid,
And soon a song her lips cseyed.
Her neighbor heard the tenCer strain
And softly joined the sweet refrain.
Thus all day long that one song bore
Its joyousness from door to doer.
-Sara J. Denton.
EDITOR WATTERSON JN A NEW ROLE,
THAT OF POLITICAL PROPHET.
The genial and accomplished editor ci
The ttrarier-Journal has won. laurels in
; many fields. He now enters into the
most difficult of all places, both for se
enrin^ and keeping honors-viz, the re
gion QI prophecy. Forgetting the fate
of good Motner Shipton, pf th^ for
gotten Wiggins and the passing of the
H recent Hicks, besides the many and
Tain declaration s that were made by ali
kinds of people before the recent presi
dential contest, cur southern oracle
. plunges recklessly into the field. His
forecasts are about oar national future,
and he is certainly just in some of his
% statements. After expressing his faith
in the great possibilities, in the sterling
worth, of American manhood he pro
ceeds to say:
"It is your own fault, gentlemen, if
thegovernment, falling in with your,
own standards, fails to attain the ideal
I am no Cassandra. On the^contrary, I
V believe that there are yet glories in store
for ns as a nation and as a people. But
it requires no seer to predict that if you
v do not-set and keep your house in order;
if the custodians of th % nation's, ac
l cretions not only of wealth, but of cul
ture, and these molders of public opinion,
whose position gives them so great an
authority, do not take from the long
harred demagogue every illustration of
bis claim of class distinction; if they
do not stop making money long enough
to consider as wise economists just sys
tems of taxation; if they go on hugging,
along with their riches, the delusion
that when the danger line is reached
they can buy the election, it is only a
question of time when the hordes of dis
order, taking advantage of some one of
the years of famine wfrch periodically
visit us and sufficiently organized and
capably led, will sweep over the con
servative barriers that now restrain
them. Then we shall see done ruthlessly
"by the hands of the mob, perhaps at the
ultimate cost of free institutions, what
had been better done if committed in
time to the hands of statesmen.
"We axe to reconcile capital and labor,
and to this end we must purify our
selves. We are to teach the lesson that
the citizen exists for the government,
not thegovernment for the citizen. Oura
is to protect the rights of property, not
less sacred in the form of aggregations
of capital than in that of private owner
ship, and tb do this effectively we must
6ot leave the prosecution and punish
ment of dishonest and unlawful com
binations to the indiscriminate outcry
of irresponsible agitation, but ourselves
lead such movements toward redress and
reform as the public interest and credit
may require. Just policies, directed by
wise men, never yet failed of their mark,
the glory of nations end the good of hu
mankind, and they never will It is for
this noble city to lead the way. It is foi
you, gentlemen, who represent so great
apart of its wealth and worth, to say
the word, and, as surely as, the night the
day, the rest of us will follow after. "
This declaration,' strange as it may
seem, was made at the twenty-fourth
annual banquet of the New York board
;Cf trade. He said, further, that boards
of trade, merchants and manufacturers
should lead in the work of justice in
business. This is wise and timely. But
the reason given why these financiers
should act -wisely and justly is poor and
miserable-viz, to prevent probable rev
olutions. Why not demand justice for
the sake of the aggrieved, for the sake
of a larger manhood, for the sake of
justice? He certainly pays a poer com
pliment to the intelligence and feeling
of his hearers.
thZ BENEFIT OF BOOK FARMING.
A goodly number of people have had
much merriment over what they call
"bcok farming.'' Farmers have joined
in the chorus of laughter at scientific
experiments, and just while they were
so doing they were losing. The Elgin
butter makers have succeeded because
they have carefully followed the teach
ings of science on the subject. There is
over $840,000,000 invested in the busi
ness in Illinois, more than three times
the amount invested in all other enter
prises in the state. This success could
not have been achieved without science.
One Tx Aie of American Character.
There is one trait cf our national
character which foreigners can never
comprehend, and that is our unshakable
faith in our ability to "come out all
right in the end. " We stand idly and
more or less indifferently by and allow
a country to be pushed to the verge cf a
financial or political precipice under
the impulso of some kind of popular
craze or another, eutirely confident that
just before it slips over we can take
hold of it and pull it buck. Vve have
done this again and again, and nothing
seems to shake our faith in our ability
io repeat the operation whenever occa
sion arises. It costs us enormously, not
only ia reputation, bat also in money,
and retards cur growth and progress in
a thousand ways, but nothing seems
likely to caro us of the h a hiv, uni ;ss it
be a great national calamity due to our
failing in scm3 crisis io take a-arai
quickly enough.-.Century.

scarcely any one here believes these
boys to be the murderers The three
negroes arrested are all young fellows,
the oldest being scarcely 20 They
were making their way to Washington.
D. C., where the oldest one lives; and
be says that he only CJIDO south about
a week ago, and was carrying the other
two negroes back with him.
The boys are very well dressed ai;d
have good faces and do not seem escited
at all. They talk freely and heern to tell
a very straight tale. So it is believed
that the real murderers are prill at lar^e
and that they have passed way beyond
Florence and either making their way
towards Wiio?lngico or Favetfevilie.
There is ^till considerable excitement
here over this affair, and it is to be
hoped that the murderers will yet be
apprebeoded

FAILED TO GET IT. I
Some days ago Superintendent
of Education Mayfield and Coi. J
W. Floyd went to New York to have
? a conference with the trustees of the
Slater fund in the effort to secuie for
the colored State college that portion
of the fund which is given to the
colored people in this State. They
have just returned. They failed in the
object of their visit. They say the
Slater trustees do not feel disposed to
take away from private institutions
any funds now allowed them until
they get upon a self-sustaining basis
When Claflin gets on such a basis it
is very likely that the fund will be
applied to the State college.
The Slater trustees do not usually
receive delegations in regard to 6uch
matters, but the courtesy of such a
hearing was accorded to Messrs.
Mayfield and Floyd owing to the fact
that they represented the State The
members asked a great many ques
tions about the condition of educa?
tional ?if?airs in this State and ex
pressed much surprise at the state?
ment that the college had begun its
first session with 1.100 students en
rolled.
Afters secret session the board an?
nounced its decision as stated above.
