| NEGRO WbwN WITH NEap

A NEGRO VbwN WITH NEGRO
OFFICERS. -Mitchellsville, it must be
remembered, is the. negro village on
Hilton Head Island, regularly organ
lied with negro officers, and enjoying
its Councilmen and Supervisor, whom
their constituents insist on styling
Aldermen and Mayor. The 'saldcr-
men" settle disputes concerning
claims for personal property. Before
one of them came disconsolate ne
grcss. Her hen had been stolen, and
Gawky Sam was the boy who did it.
The boy was summoned, the evidence
heard, the case clearly made out, and
two dollars fine imposed. But here
stepped in another Alderman, who
added another dollar to the fine. Be-
fore the money was paid, still another
managed to get the case before him,
and imposed fine of five dollars.
By this time the Supervisor
('Mayor') heard the story, and sum-
moning all the parties, inquired:
Uncle Ben, why did you fine de
boy two dollars?''
'Weu, sab, de case was clar; de hen
was nifty fine, fat un, and reckon
sne wort about Il dollar. Den, sir,
nobody oughtnb be lowed to steal for
less dan dollah no how. SO I made
him pay de wuf of de hen to de
owner, and q doIah for stealin' be-
side"
"wel, 'Clerklis, (Anglicc Uncle
Hercules why did you make de fine
tree dollah?"
"Well, de hen war wuf dollah
easy. Den de boy ought to pay dol
lah for stealin' anyhow. But den,
sab, dat hen war layin' eggs, and if
dat Gawky Sam hadn't done stole her,
de eggs she'd laid 'ud been wuf
'tleast 'nuther dollah by dis time!'
Ludicrous rs was the solemnity Of
these proceedings, they were, never
theless, of value, US showing inherent
ideas of justice.

pherment of Assyrian cuneiform writ
ings has for years past been pursuit
of intense interest on the part of the
learned. AS on instance of the accu-
racy of decipherment, the following
may be mentioned: Copies of the
great cylinder inscription of Tiglath-
Pileser I, extending to nearly 1000
lines of cuneiform writing, were sub
mitted to four Assyrian scholastic
Sir Henry Rnwlinson, in London; to
DR.. Hincks, in Ireland; to NJ. Oppert,
in Paris; and to Mr.. Fox Talbot, of
Lacock Alloy; and they were invited
to send independent translations
under seal, on a certain day, to be
examined l'y committee composed
of the first scholars in England, name
ly, Dean Milman, Mr.. Grote, the his
torian, Professor Wilson, DIR. Cureton
and Sir Gardner Wilkinson. The
translations were thus sent in to the
committee, and on being compared
were found to coincide, not, indeed,
word by word, but in oil essentials of
distribution of subject, reading of
names and general Specification, the
verdict recorded by the committee
being decisive rs to the competency

War Mortality.

We are enabled, through the kind
ness of Mr.. John r. Mot, to afford to
the friends and relatives of the South
Carolinians who perishcd at Point
Lookout, Maryland, IL record of all
the casualties among the sons of our
State occurring at that place of i'm
prisonment. We make no comments.
The record is long and melancholy
one. It will be satisfaction to the
relatives of the deceased to know that
their kinsmen died in the service Of
the State, in what they deemed the
paths of duty. The State, when this
is possible, should remember, and
make due record of, their public ser
vices.

Interesting Dixcovea.y.

PARIS, August A few days since,
very interesting discovery was made
in the Place du Carouscl. A wing of
the old Palace of the Louvre has
lately been torn down for the purpose
OF rebuilding it in harmony with the
newer parts of the palace. In making
excavations for the new foundations,
q pumber of monldss for pottery and
an ancient furnace were laid bare by
the workmcn. The superintendent
his turn, addressed himself to dis
tinguished savant. NJ Bertz, for in
formation with regard to this treasure
trove. M. Dertz has devoted many
years to the study of archaeological re-
mains of Paris, and recognized in the
furnace and earthenware fragments
the work of the celebrated Bernard dc
Palissy, to whom the revival of tho
enameling3 of pottery in France is
due. It appears, in 1900, that Cathe-
rine de Medicis employed Palissy to
ornament grotto in the garden of the
Tuilleries with the most grotesque
specimens of his art that he could
produce, description of which is
preserved in the imperial library.
Among the figures was < sea monster,
composed entirely Of shells and ma
rine plants. The mould of this has
been found almost entire, and cores
ponding in all particulars with tho
description in the contract written by
order of the Queen. The walls of the
furnace are Immensely thick. The
grotto itself is still supposed to exist
i'll the Tuilleries garden, and permis- 1
sion to search for it has been asked.
Bernard de Palissy reduced himself to
extreme poverty in his enthusiastic
search after the lost process of ena-
melting. a picture at Scv-es repre-
sents him cutting his furniture to
pieces to make fre-wood for his pre-
cious pots and dishes. He is called
Palissy, the potter; but was, in fact,
o man of great learning, having de-
ivered lectures, in Paris, on the
monuments of antiquity tJ-''on earth,
stones and metals"<at the age of
seventy-fve years. Although en-
ployed by Catherine de Medicis, Ii.
was Protestant, and was at last i'm
prisoned in the Bastile, l599,) wher
he died in his ninetieth year A monu
ment was erected to him few month
ago in his native town of Agenois.
dealer in old furniture (aanrchand d
b''ic-a-brac) has just had the luck t.
find in an old cabinet of Louis XIII
time, seven letters written by Cardina
Richelieu, ten of which are addresseS
to the celebrated courtesan, Marioe
Delorme. These letters were hiddej
away in secret drawer of the cab
net, and were only discovered by acc
dent; they will bring great price, IS
their authenticity is unimpeachable.
