fal widow. on the sunny side of thirty,
who. BY the way. had often bestowed
melting glances upon the aforesaid sher,
iff. He was admitted, and the widow ap,
peared. The confusion and fright which
the arrival OF ner visitor occasioned, set
of 10 advantage the captivating charms
Of the widow NJ. Her cheeks bore the
beautiful blended iints Of the apple bios

upon which the morning dew yet linger-

which they were filed. resembled arrows

A deeper blush than usual mantled the
cheeks Of the fair widow. the down cast

beautiful foot. which. half concealed by
her flowing drspery, partly pstted The
floor. She. with equal candor, replied !;
"Sir. the attachment is reciprocal"

with merry laugh; then shaking her
head, she said
No. Sir. though this is leap year, I will
not take advantage Of the license granted

Gen Sherman's conscience is.beginning
, to trouble him for the desolatiou and rob-
, berry perpetfated by his army during the
) so-called great march through the South
de denies most pointedly any agency in
the burning. and pillaging Of Columbia.
5. C.. and charges the burning 10 Gen.
Wade Hampton. who commanded the
Confederate rear guard at the evacuation.
10 this charge Gen. Hampton replies by
an array Of facts against Sherman which
not only convicts him Of the incendi-
arlsm bat of wilful falsehood.
After relating the atrocities committed
at Columbia. Gen. Hampton thus dispos.
es. in general summary. of the great
raider:
But enough Of this atrociy. the bare
thought Of which makes humanity shud-
der. the heart grow sick. Surely enough
has been quoted from the narrative of these
horrors to prove that Gen Sherman alone
is responsible for the destruction OF Col
umbia, and for the other atrocities com.
mitted by his army. He declares that
The fires set by my order consumed the
city. l have shown how false is this
statement; but even if it were true, how
does he clear himself of the guilt OF burn
ing private dwellings outside of the city

day he entered Columbia. my house
which was two miles from the city, was

holm, Gen. Lowell, Mrs. Stark, Dr.. Wal.

ford's Bridge, Orangeburg. Lexington.
AlSion. Panama, Winnsboro, BIacksook,
Society Hill, Camden and 'Cheraw. Does
not the fate of these unofending towns
give the lie to his disclaimer Of any agen-
cy in burning this city? Along the line
of mached followed by him there is
scarcely one house left standing. from the

in this State, women bave been insulied

PRESERVING FRuITs BY CANNING. We
are glad the practice of canning fruits
is coming into such general use, over
the old method of making preserves of
them. Canning has many advantages,
among which are, lit is more simple
and easily performed, is cheaper. aud
healthier, and many good fruits, such
as ie-plant and currants, can be kept
in this manner, which make very in
different preserves. Besides, fruits
are far more palatable in their fresh,
natural state, as they can be kept by
canning, than if compounded with SUI
gar. The process of canning is easily
practiced, there is no mystery connec-
ted with it, and we would urge upon
every household the Importance of
canning up as great variety of yege-
tables and fruits as possible. Begin
with rhubarb. Prepare it as if for
cooking, scald it and put it into com
mon bottles, put in the corks while
they are hot, put on some sealing wax
dip little cold water upon the wax SC
as 10 prevent the air from forcing It's
way down through the melted wa,
through some creyice in the cork. and
the work is done. Maple syrup can
be kept sweet through the summer b,
simply putting it up in sealed bottles
after first expelling the air as in can
ming fruits.-Aaine Farmer.
