A loiter from York. Kind's Creek is a statiou in Ohcrrkee, York county. It is situated in the northwestern pan of the county on the C. & O U. K. (formerly 3-C's) .in the midst of a very profitable mining and agricultural region, and through the thrift of the surroundfug people, is destined to become the center of a considerable domestic trade. Oil account of the lack of connection which this road makes, it is rather difficult to reach, but it is like the nugget of gold bidden in thcbiick weather-beaten rock, it is worth your time aud expense to visit it. The physical aspect of the country is rough, hilly aud picturesque. The high hills are crowned with forests of oik and hickory, while the valleys below. some from which has just been gathered a crop of line wheat or oats, aro verdant with grass and flowers, inhere arc now guldeu with uu abundant crop of corn almost ready to be gathered, and clustering among the trees or the hill tops, or sweetly sleeping io the midst of a grove at the mountain's foot are the homes of these progressive farmers. Added to the grandeur of one ot these valleys is a magnificent structure known as the King's Creek Trestle. 10?> feet high. An artist standing on this r.uil lookiug westward, and could his sight and taste not be gratified by the sceuo there prescntud, would be devoid of any. The grecu hills fringed with gold by the sotting eun, the coru fields aud grassy plains stretching in "pensive quietness betweou," and, nestling at the foot of the hill in a grove of cool, shady elms, mulberry, etc., is the pleasant and hospitable home of a sturdy well-to-do-farmer, surrounded by all its conveniences?a scene to charm the eye of the most fastidious. So much for the appearance. Now for some of the realities. The soil is not very well adapted to the cultivation of cotton, upland being somewhat rocky, and bottom land, 1 uould suppose, would not mature well. Therefore cotton receives little attention. a four or live horse farm making -carcciy as many oaics. i tiese UOttoms, 'hough, produce corn in ubuudanco, dso, wheat and oats. Comparatively iittlc upland is in cultivation, being till uncleancd. liaising corn, wheat, ats, etc., as they do many of them are unacquainted with this business of pay^ wig oil' liens, provision bills, and so ou, with which some of us down here arc o familiar. We enjoyed the fun of a 'Tat kil!ng" at oue of these farmers' cribs, lie had two cribs, and so much corn in i'uth, that with the help of about half iozen men, aided by three or four (?) f his daughters who stood back aud l istly cheer'd ou the tight, we succeeded : i capturiug ouly about fifty of the enemy, others escaping from one stronghold to the other.

Dies Praying to Live to Kite Hie Father 1 Good-bye?A Bright Philadelphia Boy's Pitiful Tale, and Sad End. The tragic coding of a bright young lad, oho ran away from his home, tearing his parents in the dark as to his whereabouts, the details of which reached this city yesterday. should he a warning to all young b?ya who becomo infatuated with the idea that a intnbiing life is the thing to make a bov entirely happy. The affair occurred at Gaston, on the F. C. & 1*. road, about thirty miles from this city, on Wednesday night last just about midnight, nnd tears stole down the cheeks of many a strong man, os he stood by the hnnilsnmo hid in llio puvlv lining ,?f ll,n rooming, as his life slowly ebbed aw>\y from his mangled form. These strong, teiulor- , hearted formers stood around tho little fellow, although he was a perfect stranger, doing all in their power to save nint, knowing lie was in a dying condition all the time. They stood there and heard him tell his story and plead for his life to be prolonged j till he could kiss his father good-bye, a fa lter whom ho had left without giving any intimation as to his intentions?a father who 1 was at his home in Philadelphia, perhaps at that very moment racking his brain to devise some plan of securing information as to his missing son. It was a sconce to touch 1 the heart of any man. The story briefly told is as follows : On Wednesday night this lad got into Gas'on in some way. At midnight a fast freight train passed through, but did not stop. Just as it rolled past the station a cry of pain was heard on tho track and several parties, hastening to investigate, found 1 the form of a youth on the track terribly cut and mangled. He was lifted up tenderly and taken into the depot building. There was no physician in the place, the 1 town physician being away in Columbin. ' The lad told these around him that he had in a belt around bis waist $3.ti5 (n cash * lie begged them to tear his clothes open, get it and get a physician for him. He said that this was a'l the money he had and lie had not cared to spend any of it to ride on < the railroad, lie said lie had attempted to jump on the train while it was running ; no ' one hud pushed him off, but lie had simply < missed his footing and fallen under the ( wheels. No physician could bo secured be- i fore the arrival of the .'1 n. m. train from Columbia. When tho lad was told this he l said he had sonic time ago, without cause, and without even saying good-bye to his mother and father, run away from his home in Philadelphia. He laid he was eighteen 1 years of age and his name was Samuel Wil- j liains : his parents lived at No. 2,730 Ger- ( ainnlown avenue, Philadelphia. The boy was a handsome little fellow, and seemed to he of good birth and well-to-do 1 parentage. When he realized that death j was imminent, he pleaded to ho allowed time enough to kiss his father good-bye ; ' and thus ltis young life slowly ebbed away, c Dr. llrooker arrived about 3 a. in., but the lad died in fifteen minutes thereafter. The good people of Gaston took charge of the remains and as much concern was dis played m (he funeral ns if son e son of a Hasten man had died, lie was given a neat > burial and his grave was marked, so that should his parenls hear of his tragic end and wish to sec (he grave, they can find it. . ?St.He, \st. Celery Cultivation. Celery planted in rows or beds will need frequent cultivation. The cultivator run between the rows and the j use of the pronged hoe between the plants will bo all the cultivation i needed. This work should be done ouce a week, ldo not allow the ground to crust over. "When tbe 1 weather is hot and dry it will form a 1 thick, hard crust, which will stop all irrowth. 1 Celery planted in beds will require 1 still greater care. The narrow steel 1 hoe or the narrow celery rake will do rapid and first-class work in the hands of a competent man. Celery requires it large amount of moisture, and one way to get it is by frequent cultivation; the next is bv giving the beds a generous watering. When the plants need water give an abundance. Water in the co??l of the evening. A hose attached to a barrel drawn by a horse will quickly put it on without much loss of water. When tbe small beds are to be watered, a watering-can . 11 1 ..:i ?!.... 1 1.. .i.? \>lll IJC illl l Ilcl L I.> JIL'ClllMI* 111 111U editor's experience watering once a week is enough. The long, green celery-worm that feeds on the leaves should he cut in two with a pair of clippers. In the dry seasons they become very numerous, and will seriously injure the plants if not taken in time. The eelerv should not he earthed up during hot weather. Keep the soil loose and the plants growing. The middle of September is plenty early enough to give the first earthing up. The sclf-blanehing celery will need the earth drawn up to the plants about the 10th of September. This celery comes into market in the early fall. It is quite delicate, and is hard to keep after it is once bleached.? liidttmorc , \ nwrictin. ?? ? ?

I'OSLl'S |irug Sine Large si/.e -V'c an 1 ?1 After Twenty Years In Fgrypt. Judge Victor C. Barringer, who was appointed by President Grant in 1*74 a justice of the Internal Court of Appeals of Egypt, returned to America on the Kaiser Willielin II yesterday, accompanied by Mrs. Barringer, after a continuous residence in Alexandria of twenty years. His appointment was for life, but lie resigned his place on account of broken health and a desire to end his* days in his native country. Prior to going to Alexandria lie lived five years in Washington, where, in company with .Judge James and Abbott, he compiled the first Revised Statutes of the United States. Judge liarringer was seen yesterday at the Hotel bv a Tribune reporter. ^ "There have been wonderful changes in New York," he said, "since I've been gone. I have kept as well informed as I eould on American affairs, but there was much that escaped me. I got tired of Egypt, hum I wanted to see a few old friends again before they all passed to the other side." Speaking of the court of which lie was so long the United States representative, lie said : "The United States, Anw^tai&ul, France, Russia, (icrrfffff^"Italy and Austria have one representative each in this international court, which has jurisdiction over the whole of Egypt in all ijiiestions of contests between Kgypt and other nations. There are eight judges of the_ Inferior or Circuit Court, appeals from which go to the Court of Appeals. When [ went to Kgypt Ismaiel was Khedive. lie was uicceeded by Tewfiek, under whose reign occuiTed the bombardment and capture of Alexandria, and the occupation of Kgypt by the English. Tewfiek died two years ago last January, and Abas is Khedive now. "Exploration and excavated for Kgyptian antiiputies have been carlied actively forward during the last five years, ere lit for which belongs diicily to the French. In Ancient Memphis and Thebas the results have been most gratifving. The most C ? n important recent find was in the Pyramid of Medoum. The body of a juecn of one of the Pharoahs in an ilmost pei feet state of prcsernation was discovered. Her tomb was richly decorated with golden ornaments and a golden crown was found upon licav head. "It was a great blow to myself mid wife to hear ol the death of William Walter Phelps. When he was minister to Austria, and later to llerlin. he visited us several times in Alexandria. I looked forward with great pleasure to meeting him here, lie had the happy talent of making and keeping friends wherever he went. Indeed, he had this facility to a greater degree than any one 1 ever met. lie made many friends in Alexandria. In the comparatively short time he was there lie became interested in the city hospital, and made it a handsome gift. 1 don't known where to settle down exactly. It will depend on my health.

Political PartiesThc rise, progress ami decline of political parties in this country is ono of the most interesting of studies. Political organizations which endure do not spring, full panoplied into the arena, nor do they, once established, die because of defeat. It is neeossary to their vitality, however, that .they stand for something rational, or at least tangible?that they be able to give an excuse for their existence. The Republican party was formed that it might effect the abolition of slavery. That particular mission accomplished, it lived a tew years upon its record, and by the time the eountry got ready, after the war, for the consideration of economic and kindred questions, It had made a protective tariff and a sound currency its principal points of doctrine, allied with the idea of a strong government at Washington, paternal in its character. The Democratic party has existed under one name and another almost from the foundation of the government. It stands for a low tariff, for rigid economy in public affairs, for the largest liberty of the citizen consistent with the observance of good order, and says to the general government: "Only let the individual alone so long as he does not violate your laws, and lie will take care of himself." It lias at all times been the party of the common people, while the Federalist, the Whig and the Republican parties have been the parties of the aristocracy. It was the New York Tribune which said, some time ago, that all of the "best people" were Republicans. We say this not to arouse any class feeling?God forbid ! there is too much of that in the country now?but are only stating an historical truth. As for the Democratic party, it is enshrined in the hearts of tin4 "common people," and can never die. It has had enough and tremendous enough reverses to have destroyed any other organization that ever existed, but the law of death is not in its members. The Republican party, again, stands for enough that appeals to men to make it for a long time to come, we fear, a formidable adversary. It has not the immense recuperative power of its lifetime enemy,, but it has history enough to give it vitalitv for a time V * to come and those who consider that one defeat puts it out of the way delude themselves. The passing of a new party has marked every few years of our national existence. Not but two parties with any considerable following have ever existed at any one time, and as to those which have since lSf>fi striven with each other for the mastery, lie who thinks that cither of them is going to si ink into retirement at 'the bidding of any new comer has surely been a very careless student of his country's history. ?Charlotte. Observer. ? ? .Mothers of Note. "All that I am," said John Quincy Adams, "my mother made me.'' In the biography of many of our great men we find marked mention made of a mother's influence in directing their genius or otherwise affecting their career. Washington was only eleven years old when his father died, leaving the widowed mother with five children to educate and direct. She used daily to gather her flock around her and teach them the principles of ieligion and morality from a little manual in which she wrote all her maxims. This manual was preserved by Washington as fine of his */ O most precious treasures, and was often consulted by him in after life. It is said that the simple majesty of the moral greatness of Mary Washington called forth the following remark fVnm pAi'l'iin fni'f'irrii iif)w>or<a on rn I . . v\ ,v,v n" v ' # tirintr from lier presence: ''It is not surprising tlnit America should produce great men, since she can boast of such mothers." In the biography of Oliver Cromwell we find frequent allusion made to the noble character of his mother. The following is an example: "A woman possessed of the most glorious faculty of self help when other assistance failed her, and who preserved, in the gorgeous palace of Whitehall., the simple tastes that distinguished her in the old brewery at Huntington, whose only care, amidst all her splendor, was for the safety of her son in his dangerous eminence.', Watt, the great civil engineer, was greatly influenced by his mother, whom he described as h "brave, brave woman: none now to be seen like her." Cuvicr, the geologist, is another instance of a mother's intluenee. She learned liiitin in order to assist liiin in his studies; she also laid the founilation of drawing and literature in his mind, and so helped him in all his studies that he attributed the greater portion of his success to her efforts, be Maistrc asserted that the nohle character of his mother made all women venerable in his | eves, lie described her as "an angel to whom tiod lent a body for a brief season. Samuel Johnson, even 111 time of his greatest difficulty, contributed largely out ofhis slender means to the comfort of his mother, >\lio exercised remarkable influence over him. Hut the instances of no tabic mention of the influence of mothers are too numerous to cite. As a rule, our first instructor, the mother, is our example. Nero's mother was a murderer, and Nero was a murderer on a gigantic scale. Byron's mother was vain, ill-tempered, and violent, and so was Byron. The chihl learns by simple imitation and without effort. The most important era of life is that of childhood, when the child begins to color and mold himself by companionship with others. Every new educator effects less than his predecessor. Thus it is, through this influence over the mind and the molding of the character in childhood, that mothers ultimately influence and direct the course of events of the world's history.? The Home. JUDGE TOWNSEND. Judge Townsend lias recently rendered a very important decision affecting Graded Schools. We tec from our exchanges that it has been widely published throughout the State. We give the Order followed by the comment of the Florence Time*: The Board of Commissioners of the Florence Graded School; in re d>. McDuflie,*School Commissioner Florence County. Petition for n writ of mnmlamus. The motion in ilie above stated cause having been heard, it is on motion of W. F. Clayton, respondent's attorney, ordered that the writ of mandamus prayed for be refused, for the rensoti that the act of the legislature, incorporating the graded schools, makes them pay schools, in as much as it empowers the commissioners to impose a tuition fee on each pupil. Whether they exercise this power or not does uot alter the case, it is tlie power vested in them by the act which determines the character or kind of the school. Tit's is conirnry to the spirit of the free school sys'crn, provided for by the constitution under that system, as 1 understand it, the schools arc open to a'l without restriction, until the free school fund Is exhausted. The two mill constitutional tax can only be appl ed to and for the maintenance of free public schools, and the school commissioner has no legal authority to apply it for auy tthcr purpose. Returns show that fees are charge 1 iu this school as authorized by the net. 1>. A. TOWNsI:M>. Attest : Presiding Judge. J. W. McCowx. Florence, Sept I'd, ltt'JI. The derision of Judge Townsend, as to the payment of county money to the graded schools, which charge an extra tuition fee, is, we think, good law, though tin uufoituuato condition of atfurs. The cn?e has been appealed to tlie Supreme Coutt, but Judge Townscnd will undoubtedly be sustained by tlint court. All grmled schools charging a fee. will be in the ?anic category as Florence. The only way to <lo will bo to open t lie school free, and run it so until the c.umy niouey is exhausted, then fall back on tlie tuition fee aud what is raised by the c ty taxation. The constitution declares the fund rnisod by general taxation shall be for free schools, aud it is probably well tint this question will now be passed upon.? Florence Time.'. The Rtform A<lruenle (Florence) lias the following to siy about Judgo Townscnd's decision : Judge Townscnd rendered a doe si hi. which, if sustained by the Supreme C-iiut, and we opine tint it will, far reaching in its effect. lie dee des that a graded school, that by its charter is allowed to charge a tuition fee, is not a free school, and not entitled to the constitutional two mills tax. It has become the habit in towns to endeavor to build up select schools, and under guise of legislative authority, take from the poorer class the tax given to educate their children ami bestow it upon those tnore fortunate in worldly go ds, building up schools with higher educational facilities than is contemplated by the school laws. The rights of the poor have been disregarded and trampled upon, and this decision wid show to those who arc so select that they shirk from contamination with the poorer class, that they must maintain their sehoo's without the ai l of the general lax, and no select crowd can monopolize it. * * x" * Ju Ige Townsend finished court this week.
