FArAL AND MELAScno1r Acc1nrsr

Fatal AND MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
rev circumstances of tile kind have
given us more regret and sorrow than
the death Of William, the oldest son
of The late Judge Robert B. Alcxan-
der, in the 18th year of his age. We
learn that on Sunday last whilst at
play with his companions, one of them
accidcntly struck him with small
piece Of wire, which, penetrating his
brain just above his eye, caused his
death on Sunday night. The deceased
was an amiablc, intelligent and prom
ising youth, universally beloved by his
young associates, and greatly priz d
by his older aciuaintanccs for that
combination of good qualities SO rarely
found in one of his age. Sympathy,
we know, can bring but little comfort
to the sorrowful, still it may soothe
some momentary pang OF mothers
heart to know that Il whole communi-
ty feel most deeply for her loss, and
would gladly, were it possible, mitigate
the anguish of this heavy bereavement.

AS many of our planters are now
about trying Guano in their crops, we
publish for their benefit the following
experiments made by Col. T.. T.. Law
of Darlington District, which were
published in the Darlington Flag of
the l7th: $50
EXPERIMENT lst.-Made on land in
a high state of Improvement from for
mer manurings.
100 lbs. Guano per acre produced
1872 lbs seed cotton.
Hog pen manure produced 176s lbs
seed cotton.
Difference in favor Guano 1O4 lbs.
Cost of 100 lbs Guano, $780,
Worth of 104 lbs cotton seed $500,
or equal to 104 per cent on cost of
Guano, over Hog pen manure, heavily
put on.
EXPERIMENT 2nd.-On poorer land
100 lbs Guano per acre produced 9SS
lbs seed cotton without manure of any
kind G7G lbs seed cotton.
Difference in favor Guano 3I2 lbs
seed cotton, equal to 3l2 per cent on
cost OF Guano applied.
EXPERIMENT 3rd.-15O lbs Guano
per acre made 1903 lbs seed cotton.
hog pen manure 1852 lbs.
Difference in favor Guano l5G lbs
equal to lO4 per cent on cost Guano.
EXPERIMENT 4th.-15O lbs Guauo
per acre made 9iS lbs, 200 lbs Guano
per acre made 962 lbs.
Difference in favor Of $50 lbs Gnano
2G lbs.
This experiment was made on two
rows OF each, instead of one as in the
other. cases, and it SO happened that it
was where a fence had stood several
years and had been moved, which !
think is the cause of giving advantage
to the smaller quantity of Guano up
piled.
EXPERIMENT 5th.-50 lbs Guano
per acre made 676 lbs, without ma.
nure 59S.
Difference in favor Guano rs lbs
equal to $50 per cent on cost of Guano
E.xHER1MENT 6th.-300 lbs Guano
per acre made 1913 lbs, without ma.

The Cadets turned out on the occa.

the Rev. William Lewis, Of Sumter

temperance is Il very good thing; that
the former, "works bad all around" !"
and the latter ''works good all around" +"
all of which he succeeded in proving
conclusively, we suppose, TO the minds
of all present. In truth, they are both
very generally admitted facts, for the
most aban 1oncd incbriatc will acknowl-
edge that intemperancc is bad

for it is notorious that men

, The 1ast day 81 the s;easion.. !.

Surely, no American can have read
the proceedings of the last hours of
tho late Session of Congress, without a
blush. Both Houses presented scenes
OF violence, confusion, haste and vul-
garity, of truly disgraccful character.
Such paragraphs as these occur very
frequently in the report:
Great confusion prevailed all oy-
er the Hall, and the galleries and lob
bics were crowded with spectators.
Again, says the reporter:
"Sundry violent struggles were oc-
casionally made to obtain the floor, n
hundred or more gentlemen rising at
once, and shouting out Mr.. Speaker
severally holding up the bills they
were SO anxious to have considered
The scenes accustomed much laughter" !"
Once more he pauses in his labors, to
send this over the wires:
cit was eight o'clock. The CALLER
les were denseIy crowded, and lobby
members present increased in num-
bers. So much noise and confusion
prevailed, that it was next to impossi-
BILE to comprehend the legislative pro-
ccedings. Members were continually
going to and returning from the outer
room, in which were liquid and solid
refreshments. Amendments to Navy
bill still discussed and voted on. Some
members, weary of the dry proceed
ings, retired to chat with lobby friends
and smoke scgars. The falling of a
lady's fan from the gallery, hitting an
honorable below upon the head, but
not seriously woundmg him, excited
some little merriment. Just about
this moment n burly old member came
into the Hall with hunk ofbread and
ham in his hands eating thereof
most heartily"
Two hours later, he records:
sit was now halfpast ten o'clock,
the number of spectators seeming to
increase rather than diminish, the cx-
citcment all over the Hall continuing
without abatement"
Towards midnight, or later, says
the telegraph,
'Mr. Houston, the Chairman of
Ways and Means was, from the eff.
fects of excessive labor unable to ex-
plain the various amendments. The
clerks had become hoarse from con-
tinued reading. The sofas in the
lobbies were now occupied by men,
bers asleep, and Only a few within
the bar seemed to be Interested in the
dull proceedings Of the Indian Appro-
priation Bill"
At halfpast three, the following cir
cunsance occurred:
"a drunken man of gentccl appear
ance was aroused from sleep in the
Senate Chamber, and commenced bias
pheming in loud and boisterous man
ner, disturbing the proceedings of the
Senate. The officers were directed
to put him out-this was accomplish.
ed with great difficulty, and he was
committed to prison under the Capt.
tol."
In the midst Of such unusual scenes
as these, the most important meas
ures were passed, and others. no less
important, rejected. Is it not shame
ful, that the affairs Of this great coun-
try should be transacted with such
hcadlong carelcssncss? If the affairs Of
the most insignificant private estab-
lishment were SO managed, it would
not merely bring down upon its pro-
prictors instant ruin, but universal de-
rision and contempt. Congression.
al reform, is as much needed as muni-
cipal.-Lome Journal.

Swearing In of the Vice President

Swearing In of the Vice President.
We have been favored with the fol,
lowing extract from private letter
from Matanzas, received in this city by
the Crescent City:
'For the first time in the history of
the Republic has the man chosen by
the people for the second post of hon
or taken the oath of Office in for
eign land. William Rufus King was,
on the 4th instant, sworn in as Vice
President OF the United States, at the
Cumbrc, near Matanzas.
"The day was most beautiful one,
the clear blue sky of the tropics ov-
er the heads, the emerald carpet Of Gu
ba beneath our feet, and the delicious
sen breeze Of these attitudes sprink-
ling its GOODNESS over all ofus. Early
in the morning Consul Rodney, dcpu-
ted by Judge Sharkey to administer
the oath: left town on horseback for
the Cumbrc, accompanied by sever
al American gentlemen. A pleas.
ant ride of three miles brought us to
the estate where Mr.. King was resi-
ding, called La Cumbre, (the peak)
from its situation on the culmina-
ting point of the hills that imm ediate-
ly surround Matanzas. The view from
here is one of the most beautiful the
eye ever looked upon. Far as the
vision could reach in this clear blue cx-
panse the beautiful valley of the Yu-
muri extended with its winds. g river,
its varying fields Of green and gold,
dotted here and there with white
sparkling buildings that looked like
pearls set upon emerald, and the
brown hills stretching far, far away in
the distance. No more lovely i'm
pressive spot could have been found in
the whole world for the ceremony, and
the solen grandeur of the act and of
the scene shed its spirit over us.
"The oath was administered by Con-
sui Rodney to the Vice President,
who was ready and waiting our ar
rival. The volante was brought up to
the door, and Mr.. King stepped into
it, in order to ride into Matanzas be-
fore the sun should be too high to
make it pleasant. The whole caval-
cadc. consisting of some twelve or fic-
teen American gentlemen, Immediate
ly mounting, and forming as an cs-
cort around the carriage, accompanied
the Vice President to town.
"Ihc Crcolcs who had gathered on
the lawn round the house, uncovered,
and many heartfelt Faya at con dos
(God be with you) broke from their
lips as they rode away. On the road to
town the natives, wherever VIC met
them, silently uncovered as we APP
preached, and as we passed sped at.
ter us the same universal salutalon A
few Spaniards, standing in gloomy ire
at the doors Of their shops, viewed us in
silence, or muttercd a sullen ajo rs

their faces.
"N[r: King left AIatanzas OH the
same day for the estate Of Mr.. Char
tain, in the partido Of Limonar, about
eighteen miles from here His health
is very poor, and no one accustomed
to see patients with pulmonary dis
case i'll this climate, but knows he can
not survive very long. He may
live for months in this mild climate. but
he can never be better. The old states
