said in my former letter that since The
proyidential thunder bolt Of the "a December, the
situation of France and Of Europe have been
changed altogether, or rather that this change
which had been visible to the telescope Of political
sagacity ever since the earlier triumphs Of the re-
action and the first blunders of the Republic, be-
came patent incon.estable and visible to the naked
eve Of common sense and Of the masses, from the
very moment when, for the second time in half a
century, military despOtism arose triumphant
from the anarchy Of ideas, and the confusion of
universal suffrage.
To Justify this assertion, and to let IN upon TINS
new situation what little light my mind possesses
allow me some preliminary explanations. | should

OBITUARY.

With melancholy feelings we announce
the deccasc of Mr.. SIMON BECKHAM, which
ovcnt occurred at his residence in the lower
part of this District on Sunday last
Mr.. BECKHAM was one of the mcritorious-
ly esteemed men Of Lancaster District. He
filled the Office of Clerk Of the Cour; for
twelve years, from 1885 to 1915. and retired
then TO pursue the more quiet occupation of
Il Farmer and Merchant at Pleasant Hill
We pen this article in sorrow. Mr.. BECK
HAM was amongst the first of our acquan-
tancc in this District, and from II years resi-
dcncc in his ncighborhood, we learned to cs-
TEEN him on account ofhis probity and virtue.

Kind Words in the Family.

There are few families, we imagine, any
where, in which love is not abused as fur
mishing 4 license for impolitcnc$s. A
husband, father, or brother, will speak
harsh words to those whom he loves the
best, simply because the security of love
and family pride keeps him from getting
his head broken. 1t is shame that
man will speak more impoli;cly, at times,
to his wife or sister, than he would dare
to any female, except Il low, vicious one.
Iii thus that the hoicSt affections ofman's
nature prove to lie weaker protection to
woman in the family circle, than the res
taints of society; and that woman,usualIv
is indebted for the kindcSt poIitcucSs Of life
to those not belonging to her household.
Things ought not SO to be. The man who,
because it will not hr resented, inllicts hi
spleen and bad temper upon those of his
h"UrthStour, is Il small coward and a very
mean man. Kind words are tl." circulating
medium between true gctlcmru and true
ladies', at home, and no polish exhibited
in society can atone for the hard and dis
respectful treatment too often INDUCED in
between those bound together lv Gods
own tics of blood, and the still more sacred
bonds Of conjugal love.

This body met at the State House in Co

adjourned over till yesterday (Tuesday)

As the time for action has arrived, specula-
ton upon this subject grows more rife, pub

lie apprehension more excited: on the one

to adjourn without doing anything. the fair

prejudice of the State, in her permanent po-

try, but which has in fact been rcpudiatod by
the people, in whom alone the sovereign
power rests.

lHcREAsE OF THE USE OF OpIrM-A
correspondent writes 10 the New York
Evening Post as follows:
"One idea suggested in one of your ar
hcleS is entitled to far greater weight than
a person who had not given particular
attention to the subject might suppose
refer to the use of opium as a stimulation.
The eXtentto which this is practiced by
people esteemed temperate, even in this
country, is, probably, one thousand times
greater than is generally believed. This
may at first seem very extravagant state
ment; but a good deal of Investigation Of
the subject has led me to this conclusion. -"
