Competitive Examiatiotj for Two , N&yal Cadets from thisjstate. Senator Tillman has asked the publication of the following announcement of interest tp young men of South Caro> lina: The oScent navAl appropriation bill authorized the appointment of two midshipment at large for each State; to be selected by its two senators. The navy department, by arrangm?ut with the civil service commission, will have examined young men, fleafjrnated by Senators, on the 11th of August at either Greenville, Columbia, or Charleston. This saves the expeues of travel to Annapolis for the entrance examination heretofore held there. The examination papers are prepared by the academic board at Am ap >lis, so V. . -there will be no examination on entrance T* to the academy except a physical one. In order to make sure that there shall be no vacancy, each Senator is authorise to designate six young me, one as principal and the others as first, second, third, fourth and fifth alternates If the principal fails the others take this place by sucoession, in their orders. In order to afford aii opportunity for the best I talent in our State to win the prize, I have decided to have a competitive examination held in the State House at Columbia on Monday, July 28, beginning 9 o'clock a.m., to select a principal and five alternates. Those selected will 'pppeat before the examiners of the civil . service commissioners on the 11th of August, after having been nominated by me to the navy department No one Win be permitted to enter the examination who is not physically sound, as it would onlv cause a waste of time No student who has been expelled from college and none but bona tide white resident of the State need apply. .- AH applicants for examination will report piomplty.to the board of exam iners to be appionted hereafter, houi and place designated. The board wil prepare the examination papers and hftnH Mmm nut tint. Aav The scope of the examination is ai follows: Reading, writing, spelling arithmetic, ge >graphy, English-gramme U.S. history, woild's history, aigebrt through quadratic equations, aud plair geometry (five books of Chaavenet' Geometry, or an equivalent.) The age limits are from 15 to 2 Por the in form* ton of candidates ih< following is quoted from the regulations "A K>uud body and consititution suitable preparation, godfl nature capacity, au aptitude tor stu jy, iudustri ous habit, perseverance, an obxlien orderly disposition, aud a correct mora deportment, are snob essential qual ideations that candidates knowing thei defl iencies in any of these resp-?ci 0 ehould not. as man do, subieot jiien w selves and their frinds to the ciisiic* p? future, mortification and disappom * ssent ))y accepting appointment at it njmtl academy and entering on a care< wWoh tliey cannot success'nlly pursue " The examlnaton will be at my pe oftal expense, and the six highest oai lOEPLAND'S j I %l II I B III HTURDAY, { H, 1 . ..

All the papers will be forwarded to Annapolis by the 1 civil service commission examiners and the hiphest successful competitor will i receive the appointment to enter the i naval academy at the beginning of the next seesion. In the event the midshipmau thus appointed fails on physical examination or at the first annual examination, I will give the place to the next highest compititor ou the list. B. R. Tillman.

Let us hide behind that clump of blackberry bushes and watch the parent birds as they come to feed their young. There comes tho father robin now. You can distinguish him from tho mother by his darker plumage. You will notice that in coming with the vfood he alights on a particular twig, hops along a particular branch and alights on a particular side of the nest If you watched him for a week, you wouiu prouauiy boo mm approach a the nost in precisely the same way each time. Now here comes the mother, a lighter colored bird, with gray on the back of her head. You see that she reaches the nest by quite a different route and alights upon the other side of it, and she will do this over and over and over again.
