Get says that a young lady In Paris, hav-
ing honorably passed two examinations
in mixed sciences, has been ordered by
the Minister of Public instruction to go
through a preparatory course of medi-
cines at Algiers, as her medical attend
ance might be Of great service to the
Arab population, and through n her med.
ical science might penetrate the tent and
harem of the Arab, where no male doc

FREEDMEN's SCHOoL.-This institu-
ton is again in full blast in our commu'
nifty, under the direction of q couple OF
"School Marms" from down East. The
day attendance is from IS to 100, and at
II light sessions about 50. The "pupils'
embrace both sexes, and of all ages and
sizes. From the number of books and
satchels that are daily paradcd up and

SINGULAR FATIITY-SUDDES DEATHS.
There occurred near Mt. Zion Church,
in Berkeley county, tho latter part Of
last week, the most heart-rending and
lamentable-not to say singular NOR.
tality-that we have ever been called
upon to record. Three youths, Edgar
Miller, son of w. Miller, Michael Henry,
son of Phillip Henry, and Willie Cor,
rell, grandson Of Mrs. Eliza Gorrell, all
living in the same neighborhoOd and
attending school at Mt. Zion Church,
were taken sick about the same time,
Friday afternoon Of last week, upon re-
turning from school; Edgar Miller dying
ON the following day, Michael Henry
upon the following Sabbath, and Willie
Gorrill on Monday. So sudden was
the death of young Miller, that we un-
derstand a physician sent for did not
arrive in time to administer any RENE.

eflicacious, but in the case of the other
two several physicians were in attend,

was of no avail.
Our information is that all the physi-
clans present pronounced the disease
if disease it was-the most singular OF
any occurring in their experience. The
whole nervous system was Frustrated
from the first of the attack, and al
though their best efforts were directed
to produce reaction, yet all known rom

sank until death ended their sutferings.

VOTING FOR DRUNKARDS.

Our public are by far too much in
the habit Of giving their influence to
the demoralizing custom of the
country. If they do not disgrace
their high position by personal drunk.
cnncss Ito which to many Of them do)
they help 10 keep up the drinking
habits Of the day, and to allure the
young into the paths Of ruin. The
remedy for this great evil is in the
hands Of the people. There must be
created public sentiment that will
not tolerate ''low men in high
places )" that will not countenance
drunkenness in Office. The safety of
the country requires this. voiing
for drnnkard is a sin, especially on
the part of protesting Christians. It
is crime against Republican institu-
tions. and no consideration Of party
should induce the conscientious man
to do it. 1t is sacrificing public and
private morale, and the true interests
of the country. upon the alter of party.
We do not expect mere politicians,
nor the morally degraded and debas-
ed, to help reform this great evil but
We have the right to look to every
good citizen, every temperance man.
every Christian. to aid 10 this good
work. Drunkenness hangs as dark
cloud over the high places Of the land.
1t is threatening and endangering all
that We hold dear in our political and
civil relations; and the time has ar
rived when some decided action
should be taken by every well-wisher
Of the country to remove it.-Rirer-
side Echo.

A VALUABLE LETTER OF Dis
cHARGE.-An exchange tells the fol-
lowing story about the manuscript of
Horace Greeley, which is said to be
horrible bad:
A compositor had made so many
errors in setting 1.-THE philosophers y
copy that it irritated him to such .
degree that he wrote the typo . letter,
disc harging him from further duty.
The compositor being utterly unable
to decipher the contents of the note
on receiving it took it to the foreman
who explained to him that it express
ed that he was mot . careful man,
aud Mr.. Greeley dispensed Win his
services" The man laid down his
stick, put on his cost and left. The
next day he applied for situation IS
assistant foreman in . large job Office
in the same street. The proprietor
inquired if he could bring : recon-
mendatiOn from his last employer.
"All ! have is . letter from Mr..
Greeley" said the young man boldly,
producing the document
The worthy job printer scanned it
for some minutes with perplexed air.
"H-m-m-carefnl man-seryices

do; we will engage YOU" And he
did, and never learned till two years
afterwards that the "letter from Mr..
Greeley was one Of discredit, instead
of commendation, ~ he had supposed.

The Fenian trials 10 Dublin have
brought ont some interesting facts ~
to the magnitude Of the intended op-
eratioLs in Ireland. In Dublin the
men numbered from 1000 to Is. 600,
and the arms Of all sorts among them
numbered but 5000! Probably the
rifles possessed by the entire force
did not number 500. In Cork the
proportions were still more preposter-
ous-being 500 weapons to 10000
men! And of these $500 the vast
majority spikes. Surely. after this,
there is no need to ask Why the Feni-
an rising failed, or Why the insurrec-
tionary parties were unable to stand
their ground against the police and
the soldiers. The English authorities
were perfectly informed as to the in
tentions Of the Fcnians, through trail

A GEORGIA REPUBLICAN EDITOR.

April 28th. tells Of . visit to the Edi-
tor Of a paper 10 that city as follows.
81 had letter Of introduction to
Mr.. Hayes, the editor Of the Republi-
can paper here, and on inquiry found
he was in jail so / called upon him at
his hotel. He was an odicer in our army
and the rebels hate hin. He was con-
victed here, two months since BY q
rebel jury, Of libel on a rebel shys-
ter and sentenced to pay q fine of
5000. which he persistentlv refused to
do deeming himself unjustly convict
ed /; hence, he was committed till the
fine is paid. When he will be releas-
ed no one knows, but he told me that
a number Of leading rebels here, on
their own motion. had petitioned Gov
ernor jenkins for his pardon. The
libel charge was, that the plaintiff
was defaulter to the United States
he having been post master when
the war broke out-and it was alleg.
ed that he turned the funds Of the
United States over to the rebel gov
ernment, upon which the Court held
that the statement Of the editor was q

A GRAND OLD POE N.

Who shall judge q man from his manners 2
Who shall know him by his dress!
Paupers may be ft for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpl.d shirt and dirty jacket,
May beclothe the golden ore,
OF the deepest thought and feeling
Satin vests could Dc no more.
Thcre are springs Of crystal nectar
Ever yelling out Of stone,
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God who counts by souls not dresses,
Loves and prsspers you and me,
While lie values thrones the highest
But as pebbles Of the sea.
Man, upraised abovehs fellows,
Oft forgets bis fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men;
Men by labor, men BY feeling,
Men by thought and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine @
In . man's easobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans,
There are little weed d-clad rills,
There are feeble, inch high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God who counts by souls not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are a. pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF q nations wealth or fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
By the sweat Of others foreheads,
Living only TO rejoice;
While the poor mans outraged freedom
vainly lifted up its voice.
Truth and justice arc eternal,
Born with !ovliness and light,
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right;
God, whose world heard voice il nging
Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles Of the sea.

Two little fellows 10 Dayton, Ohio,
who had been reading tom Thorn

The roads leading from the place
were followed by the fathers of the
boys, when they found the little MINI
rods by the road side. about six miles
from the city. They had little bows
and arrows with spikes in the heads
of them, and when found were trying
70 get 9 shot at some rather wild
calves that were wandering in the
woods near the pike. They said they
