Marridge.-A practice prevails in the publica
ton Of marriages, to announce that Miss A. mar
ried Mr.. B. 1t may be species Of gallantry to
name the lady first, but it is entirely out Of place.
She does not marry the man-the man marries
her. The woman only consents that he shall take
her; and in consequence of this willingness on
her part to take upon herself all the cares of we'd
ded life, the husband is required to cherish and
protect her. The wife agrees to love, honor, and
obey, which are only promises contingent on the
good conduct of the husband. The Scripture
mentions that ''he took unto himself a wife -
but We hear nothing said about her taking unto
herself husband. When Jacob set out on his
travels in search of wife, he found Rachel at the
well drawing water for the family. He stood on
no ceremony. He did not wait for the usual SAL
utations of the day, or formal introduction, but
forthwith kissed her, sand lifted up his eyes and
wept" The joy that overwhelmed him, in find
ing such pretty domestic girl in the wilderness,
gushed forth in q torrent of tears. All the while
Rachel was passive She made no advances. She
did not kiss Jacob, nor did she coyly resent the
liberty he had taken. Here we have the mega
tive consent-the submission Of the female, and
the successful and decided advances of the gen.
tleman for Jacob was a gentleman of fortune
and distinction. We should not therefore say in
our journals that the lady married the gentleman
She puts no ring on his finger to bind the obliga-
ton. She does not present her husband with q
gold watch and chain, diamond breast-pin, or
pair of white kids.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.

The publishers of this widely circulated and
popular illustrated weekly journal Of mechanics
and science, announce that it will be enlarged

for authority in all matters of mechanics, science
and the arts, which is not excelled by any other
journal published in this country or in Europe

AsDERsoN-and piece of silver plate to Mr..
SoHoRB-were received by them with appropri-
ate responses.
The awarding of diplomas, and an afectionate
and touching address by the President, were fol-
lowed by ythe Annual Grafton by Rev. G. c. GREaa,
of Sumter District. This address occupied an
hour, in the discussion of the proper relation Of
science to revealed truth, of the real aim Of fe-
male education, and of the pernicious effects OF
novel-reading These topics occurred to us a.
somewhat incongruous and destructive of the uni
ty which, it is said. ought to mark public ad-
dress; and on the last named branch of his sub
ject, we were constrained to differ from the views
of the speaker toto coelo. But it is with address,
es made on such occasions, as it is with the dead
Mill mise 6onum.
In the evening, the Concert, under the direc
ton of Prof. ORCHARD, passed of pleasantly;
noteworthy contribution to it was the Alexandra
Organ, purchased with the proceeds of the Con-
cert recently given by the young ladies-a re-
markably fine instrument for which the Board
should make profound obeisance to the musical
department of the College.
The yonng ladies left us for their homes, on
Friday morning. We and our town-people will
be excessively dull for their absence; for their
gentle, smiling, cheerful faces have never failed
to impart lively and pleasant tone to society
amongst us. We wish to all a happy sojourn at
home-a vacation devoted solely to the joyous
tasks of recreation-and o prompt and cheerful
return, en- mass to the duties of the ensuing ses-
sion.

How the Indians Make Whisky,

The Apacha Indians have a mode Of making
whisky which would appear novel to the manu-
facturers of that article-in the Ohio Valley. The
firing up process is rather slow; yet these Apach-
es seem to get liquor which makes good drunk
come. The process, according to correspon-
dent Of the Arizonian is as follows:
The corn is first soaked for twenty four hours,
hole is then dug in the ground, generally in q
wigwam, and some dry grass lis laid on the bot
tom on this grass the corn is placed and a layer
of grass over it. Four or five times day warm
water is sprinked over the corn, and at night the
family sleep on it to increase the warmth, and
make the corn sprout quick. At the end of four
or five days the corn is all sprouted; it is then
dried and pounded fine, put into kettle, and
boiled for five hours when cooled, it is mixed
with sugar and -four, and lef. to ferment for
twelve hours when it is ready for drinking. Al
though not rank to the taste, and fiery, its ntox-
eating power is very great, and when an Indian
has a quart or two aboard he don't care O copper
who is President of the United States.

traveller, was sketching for ILLUSTRATION the
scenes Of the battle, according to the description
of the Piedmontese officer, went into some Of the
houses.
Everywhere I saw soldiers dead and stiff in
the attitudes in which they had been struck
Bodies strewn in pools of blood, furniture broken,
walls grooved by balls, doors and windows smash
ed, bayonets bent and twisted, muskets which had
been used as clubs; all this made up one of those
scenes which are never forgotten.
81 went to the cemetery. 1t was literally filed
with Austrians, lying among the graves. 1t is on
ground elevated considerably above the road, and
has wall which is pierced with grated openings.
1t might almost be called fortifcation. All the
intrepdty and incredible dash of our soldiers was
required to dislodge desperate enemy with so
little loss
81 have seen the Austrian prisoners. Many Of
them are Hungarians, and openly express their
joy at beingin our hands. They tell, in bad Ital-
ian, incredible stories of their sufferings since
the campaign commenced, and Of the sorry state
Of Gyulai's army"

For the Yorkville Enquirer.

Inasmuch as circumstances prevented me from
personally rendering my thanks to the young la-
dies of my class, for their handsome token Of re-
gard, take this method of expressing to them my
feelings Of gratitude. Not being conscious OF
having merited such q favor, must regard it as
an evidence Of generosity and kindness Of heart
and as such shall ever prize it highly.
As memento Of those who have so openly e1-
pressed appreciation and appreciation of my feeble
but earnest efforts for their improvement, it must
necessarily impel me to renewed and redoubled
e1ertions in my profession as teacher.
May you ever meet with the same kind treat
ment, which you have manifested towards me on
the present occasion.

FURTHHR By THE EUROPA

Just on the eve Of going to press, last week, the
arrival of the Europa was telegraphed, together
with mention of second battle at Palestro, be-
tween the Austrians and the Allies From our
exchanges we gather the following additional par
ticulars
The Lordon Times says the victory of the allies
at Palestro was more decisive than that Of Monte
bello. This time the Austrians can scarcely say
that having accomplished their purpose they re-
tired, because they wished to retire. 1t was to
them an important object to hinder o junction OF
the Sardinians with Canrobert. In this they en-
tirely failed. The victory was won by Sardirians,
their King at their head. The Times highly e1-
tolls Victor Emanuel and his army, and says that
the hopes Of Italy rest on the banners Of the Sar
dinian King.
The official Piedmontees Gazette, of June l, in
publishing on order Of the day, has the following
concerning the fight of the day previous: "The
enemy in greater force than ourselves, vigorously
attacked, in order to hinder our junction with
Gen. Canrobert. The fourth division, under Cial-
dina, behaved incomparably. The conduct of the
Zouaves contributed considerably to the victory.
An Austrian General and several other of the ene-
my's officers were killed."
"The Piedmontees army, after having repulsed
the enemy along its whole front, was, on its right
wing, for moment outfanked by the Austrians,
who threatened the bridge Of boats-across the
Sesia-over which General Canrebert was to effect
| junction with the King. The Emperor then des.
patched the third regiment of Zouaves, who, un.
supported by artillery, rushed upon the eremy's
battery, planted on the further side of the deep
canal. bayoneting or hurling into the water the
companies posted on our side of the canal for the
defence of the battery, taking two pieces of can,
non and five hundred prisoners. The Zouave:
had one officer and one hundred and twenty pri,
Yates killed; also two hundred wounded-among
whom were ten officers"
The Liverpool Times says that there is every
reason to believe that the mass of the French and
the Piadmontees army is advancing on Milan by
| the military roads and railways which leads from
Vercilli through Novara and the Tcino, across the
bridge of Duafalord The London Globe also says
that the latest movements of the French and Sar.
dnians appear to indicate an advance on Milan
from the centre.
| The Sardnians, it is believed, have been terrib-
ly cut up, but the loss is not mentioned An Aus.
trian General is reported killed. Napoleon subse.
quently visited the battlefield and congratulated
| the Sardinians.

THE CosIMENCEMENT.

The commencement exercises of the Yorkville
Female College we're held, last week. on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. Quite an unusual
number of strangers were in attendance, and it
was in every respect the gayest, most interesting
season, we have yet enjoyed in Yorkville.
Except on hour on Wednesday, we did not at
tend the examination of the classes, but we are
gratifed to learn from others that the young la
dies acquitted themselves well, exhibiting that
Moroughness of instruction which we have hither-
to claimed as a distinguishing feature of our Col
lege. Wednesday evening, the sermon to the
Graduating Class was preached by Rev. H. T..
SLOAN, of Abbeville, S. C. We regret that other
duties prevented our attendance, especially since
we have heard on all sides the decided encomums
of those who heard it,
The exercises of Thursday-the Commencement
day proper-were most attractive, aud of course
the spacious Hall was crowded, in every nook and
corner, by brilliant assembage of men and wo-
men-an assemblage which would have graced
the halls of much more pretentious localities.
of the Graduating Class read compositions pre-
pared for the occasion. AS these furnish the
most reliable index of efficient and thorough train
ing, we listened to them attentivey, and we were
pleased to recognize the evidences of merit which
marked them, without exception. President BUcH-
AyAN uttered well-established truth when he de-
clared, at Chapel Hill, that good writer must be
well-trained thinker; and we apply the same
test in claiming for this Graduating class and
their teachers the honors Of highly successful
career at school. Of course, to use q quite vul.
gar expression, the young ladies did not "ax in
hands," and it is just as sure that they deserve
the need of hearty "well done" We would be
pleased to distinguish several compositions" as
displaying very unusual degree of excellence
but doubtless, enough has been said
In token of their regard for the teachers under
whose instructions they had made such marked
proficiency the young ladies gave to each beau
tiful present. Those to the President, Rev. Mr.
ANDERSON, and to Mr.. ScHoRB, were presented in
the presence of the auditory, after the reading o
the compositions The class were lucky in secu'
ring our gallant friend, Lieut.. E. NJ LAW, tc
represent them on this interesting occasion. Mr.
LAW is, for his age, the readiest and the most
readily brilliant orator we have ever met; and
engaged in such grateful service, he could not
but perform the duty most handsomely. The
presents-a beautiful edition of the Bible to MIR.

Narrop Escape Of Napoleon.-Inh his visit to the
field of battle at Montebello, the Emperor Napo-
leon narrowly escaped being made prisoner He
had pushed on as far as Casteggio, and was OBJ
serving with his telescope the movements of the
enemy between Berbianello and the Portico del
Stella upon tie Po, when suddenly detachment
of Austrians presented themselves before him,
only two hundred PAGES distant. Whether they
had lost their way, or whether they had advanced
thus far from mere hardihood, cannot be told !;
but it is probable that the latter suppostion is
correct. inasmuch as the advanced posts Of the
Austrians are much more energetic and daring
than those of the Franco-Sardinians Directly,
however, the Emperor saw them he changed color,
threw away his segar, drove the spurs into his
horses fsnks, and galloped back to Voghera at o
pace which would have done honor to the winner
of the Derby. Louis Napoleon has faults, itmust
be admitted, but that of wantonly exposing his
person to the enemy cannot certainly be num-
bored

Correspondence OF the Augusta Dispatch

MONTGOMERY, ALA, June 49,
Mr.. Editor:-Considerabe excitement exists
in this communityin in consequence of Justice Camp
BELLS charge to the Grand Jury, of this district,
on the African negro question. The jury have
found four or five true bills against some of the
most prominent citizens for holding, as is alleged
in the Hon. Judges charge, Africans in slavery,
who were brought to this country in violation of
the law of 1903. All good citizens agree that
the Judge has gone too far in his charge, and by
so doing, has insulted every slave owner in the
South.
Many counsel open opposition to the Judge and
the law. heard a prominent citizen say to-day,
to large and animated crowd, that he would aid
in raising mob to oppose the execution of such
law as that. have no fear that the South is
so low and degraded as to allow her citizens to be
dragged into the Penitentary for accidentally COM
ing in possession Of Rice Plantation Negro.
