WILL SOUTH CAROLINA sECEDEl

We cannot presume SO much as to take up
on ourseIf to say that South Carolina will or
will not seced.; but we can venture to say we
believe she niA. Our reasons for saying so
may be briefly stated.
Ii she i" not secede she will be ten.fold
worse of than she could be from the conse-
uuences of secession. She would become a
by.word, a reproach; her name would be Ii
hurlesque upon honor, the Palmetto device
upon the shield of cowardicc, aud the State he
looked upon rs the falstafamong St.tes. She
has taken position which to recede from is to
ing imfalny aud disgrace upon her fair name,
whicn will draw down upon her tho scorn and
derison of every true State rights man in the
Union, and which will elicit the jibes, jeers, con-
tuincly aud scorn OF every tory ederast in the
land Her professions, her political demon.
stralions nerce!orward, would be worth no
moe in the community of States or nations
than It base counterfeit upon change No,
no., she cannot recede from her proud stand.
Better every son of South Carolina fill grave
beneath the conquered flag Of resistance and
secession than by retrogade movement,
bring such sure disgrace, such certain shame
upon herself
South Carolina is in the position Of man OF
undoubted courage and honor who has been in.
suited by bully of ten.fold bis physical
strength. The man Of courage and honor does
not ask whether by resenting the insult, he will
be overpowered and whipt by his bullying an
taconist The insult meets Immediately with
some mode of redress. She would be craven,
a coward stink, il she paused upon the proba.
bic prudence of bearing with present injuries
and insults, because forsooth her insnltcr, her
oppressor, might infct some other castisation.
No man of honor makes such pause. no State
that cherishes principle Of honor will. South
Carolina we believe to be no such craven, no
such coward There is then no alternative but
for her to secede. - True Souihron.

during that period consisted Of acorns, nuts and

without warrant, 10 bring the editor into
Court. When they reached the Journal Of
fee, the editor declined TO go with them, up
on learning that they had no warrant. The
judge then sent reinforcement with orders
10 take the editor at all hazards. The edi-
tor, acting under legal advice, resisted the
seizure, aided by his son and office hands,
called in the police, and tho baiifls were arr
rested and taken to the station for illegal
trespassing. Here they were allowed to 90,
after their names were entered on the police
books. This was all ON Saturday. On Mon
day, Sept. 20, summons was issued BY the
Judge against the editor for contempt of the
Court in the matter Of the placard referred to,
and he made his appearance. The counsel
for the defence held that the placard neither
affirmed good or evil Of the judge, and fur
iher, that the truth Of the quotation in the
paper had not been denied Ii was also ar
g,,ed thar if IT was libel, the judge had no
jurisdiction, and further that the structures

Education in Maine and N. H.

The reports of Secretaries OF the Boards
Of Education in Maine and New Hampshire,
presents some statistics by which the present
condition Of education in those TWO States
may be given, like their geograhical posi-
tion, side by side. The population of Maine
as determined by the late census is $685.
0S6; that of New Hampshire 3l6,001.
In Maine, 4. .227 school districts are return
ed, in New Hampshire, 2,222. In Maine,
the average wages Of male teachers per
month was SIG 66, OF females teachers SIS ~;
in New Hampshire, male teachers, $l4 "a,
female So Al. Ia Maine. 1913 $40 attended
school in summer and Isl 800 in winter; in
New Hampshire. 5S ,32s in summer and 49,

Maine sends to school more scholars in pro.
portion to its population, both summer and
winter, than New Hampshire. Maine raises
for it's schools by taxation, S264,351. New
Hampshire raises 10 The same way and Tor
the same purpose, $l47,967 o4. The whole

To Bachelors.

An editor in Indiana lately got married, and
thereupon he thus addresses his former bach
lor friends -
And in announcing the fact of our return
home with rib, we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing our profound disgust of bachelorism
and bachelors-and we expect to be disguised
with both-several weeks. We are well
aware that in times gone by we occasionally
made ourselves ridiculous in the eyes of sensi-
bic men by upholdng the bachelor state as the
only life of happiness, independence and earih-
ly glory. But we were young and green,
then, and of course knew but one side of tho
subject. Now, stand up here, you consarned
ugly pictures Of humanity, rejoicing in the
name of bachelors, and answer US few ques-
tions.
"What are you fit for in this world, What
are you doing for your country. What are
you doing for pos,erity, What interest have
you in the generations yet unborn you read
of, Where will You be when old men, if
your vile habits ever permit you to arrive at
good old age! Won't YOU be like SCARED and
scathed trees standing in big clearing, with
out companion, and your life unprotected
from the frosts by young saplings and shrubs
at your feet! Or won't you be like pumpkins
in corn-fed, more prominent because of yonr
prodigious ugliness, than the stalks at your
side laden with golden grain! Hold up your
heads and talk like men, whether you can act
SO or not. Now, don't you feel ashamed Of
yourselves Look at the girls about you, all
smiles and sugar-hearts overfowing with
love ready to be spilled on the frs, good fellow
that can touch their ympathies-feelings rich
as cream, which BY a kindred spirit can be
worked into butter and spread over your life
till you are as happy as the birds Of spring. -
Look at 'em, and feel the disgusting position
you occupy in the cabbage garden of humani-
iy. What are you holding back for! Now,
Just reform-put your best look and other
coat-visit the girls, ice-cream them, talk to
them prettily, drive them, walk them, please
them-then propose, get accepted, marry. and
the country will rely on you as faithful and
well-disposed citizen" 7. -aaa

Variations in Organic Life.

Organic life assumes new characteristics
under new influences. The domestic animals
of Europe were not found in the country on its
discovery. They escaped from the Spaniards,
new and striking characteristics have been ac-
quired in accommodation to the novel circum-
stances. The wild hog strikingly resembles
the wild boar of Europe. The hog of the
mountains Of Parasmus resembles the wild boar
Of France. Instead Of bristles, which the
stock has from which he sprang, he has y
fur, often crisp, and sor, -" -"
onanges in color have taken place,
and the anatomical structure has altered.
The OK has undergone similar changes (;
acme in South America, called 'peloues, hav.
;nr clothing Of fine fur; others with naked
skin, like the Mexican or Guinea dog In
Columbia the practice Of milking cows was
given up, and the secretion Of milk is confined
to the period Of sucking the calf. ..
The wild dog Of the pampas does not bark
like the domestic dog, but howls like .
wolf. The wild cat has lost the sweet music
of the caterwauling concert. The wild horse
Of the higher plains Of South America is Gov
cred with long shaggy far Of auniforn chssnu
color. The sheep Of the central Cordillera'
produces thick, matted, woolly fleece, whic'

The Churchyard Beetle.

Frazers Magazine has lately contained
number of very interesting papers called Epi-
sodes Of Insect Life, from the last published
one of which we make two or three extracts a.
follows;
A German named Gleditsch, who had laid
some dead moles upon the beds in his garden,
whether as examples of retributive Justice for
their DETACHMENT of his borders and walks, or
for other good and sufficient reasons, or for
none at all, does not appear, observed that the
bodies Of the little gentlemen in velvet disap-
peared mysteriously. He watched, and found
that the agents we're beetles, which having first
deposited their eggs in the carcases that were
to be the provision for their larvae, buried the
bodies, so that they might be safe from preda-
tory birds and quadrupeds. Into glass vessel
ne put four Of these insects, having filled it
with earth, on the surface Of which he placed
two dead frogs. His sections went to work
and one frog was inferred in less than twelve
hours-,he other on the third day. Then he
introduced dead linnet. The beetles soon
began their labors, commencing operations by
removing the earth from under the body, so as
to form cavity for its reception Male and
female got under the corpse and pulled away
at the feathers to lower it into its grave A
change then came over the spirit of the male,
for he drove the female away, and worked by
himself for five hours at stretch. He lifted
the body, changed its position, turned and ar
ranged 1t, coming out Of the hole, mounting on
the dead bird, trampling on it, and then again
going below TO draw it down deeper STILL
Wearied with his incessant efforts, he came
out and laid his head upon the earth beside the
object of his labors, remaining moioness for a
full hour, as if for good rest. Then he crepl
under the earth again. On the morning of the
next day, the bird was an inch and half be-
low the surface Of the ground, but the trench
remained open, the body looking as if laid ou,
upon bier, surrounded by rampant of mould
When evening came, it had sunk half an
inch lower. The next day the burial was
completed, the bird having been completely
! covered. More corpses were now applied, and
in fifty days twelve bodies were inferred BY the
four beetles in this cemetery under glas.
