Later ShW-Ihrce- Quarters of Mn-
uh.-A number of young ladies were
in arms during the greater part of last
evening, and many more are extremely
anxious to follow the sclf-sacriticing eX-
ample of their sisters. Shame OH the
young men!
Om-Quartcr ofa Minute Latr.-Wc
have learned from reliable source that
the study of military tactics will be in
troduced into the female schools of this
State Immediately, as the spirited girls
declare their willingness to take charge
of the South Carolina Infantry" which
is vet to be raised.
A report from the interior says that
the negroes "wcar" drilling, but it
needs confirmation.
TIE COUNTRY GIRL.--The country
girl is f;.vorite theme with the poet,
and when she iswhat he generally paints
her, she is more than worthy of his
verse. What picture of fresh charm
ing beauty does the mere mention of
her name call up before the minds eye.
Those noble contours, that full and
rounded bust, those sweet, frank, maid
cnly features, those deep, clear eyes, so
full of sweet expression, those health
tinted cheeks, with their diffilsed and
pcachy bloom-all conspirc to form a
combination which no mortal man has
either the power or will to withstand.
Such being is queen in her own right,
and all men arc her willing slaves. This
is the ideal country girl-the country
girl as she ought to be and might be.
Seek her among the corntields and Or
charls, and in the cottage-homes which
hide themselves among the apple trees.
Ifyou do not find her, you will find in
her place, the actual country girl of to-
day, with perhaps crooked spine, a
contracted chest, n diseased liver, and
dispeptic stomach. Neuralgia, gene
raj debility, "dcclinc," chlorosis, prolap-
sus utcri-thc whole train oftcmale dis
eases, in short-are now almost as COM
mon in the country as in town. Girls
in the country have no excuse for ILL
health. Exercise in the open air, and
Nature will bless you and call you her
own.-IImts tomards Physical Perfection.
QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICE IN South
CARorINA.-Says a correspondent Of fthc
Stockton Democrat: 81 have consulted
the Constitution of South Carolina, and
7 find that I was right as to the quail
fication of voters, but that no man can
be elected to the House Of Represent
ativcs of that State unless he has q free.
hold of three hundred acres of land and
ten ncqroes, or q clear yearly income of
seven hundred and fifty dollars; and
that no one is eligible to her Senate,
unless he has clear yearly income OF
fifteen hundred dollars, and if he re-
sides out of the district in which he is
elected, five thousand dollars. 1t will
be seen, therefore, at glance, OF what
material the Legislature of South Caro-
lima is composed. In that State, bank
stocks, rents, and negroes arethc Sub
stance and virtue, patriotism, and in-
tellcct, are mere SHOW"
LoLA.-The New York Herald, in
noticing the career of the late Lola
Montcz, says: "Lola was very fond OF
being thought scholar and q ht'era-
hur. She had a smattering Of informa.
ton upon great variety Of topics: and
was very quick Mt catching up the ideas
Of smart people about her. She talked
we'll, and could entertain large num-
ber of persons at the same moment.
AS writer we have no knowledge as
to her carability. Her letter, which at
tracted 80 much attention when she
first arrived here, was written by ex-
Senator Wescott. "Lola Montez i'll
Bavaria" a play produced as hers, was
prepared by Mr.. Charles Ware, and her
lectures were tho work Of the Rev. Z.
