THE BELLS OF WINCHESTER.

WIN you hear what am thinking
Every day and every hour
When the Sun looks down in splendor
From his thrpne high in the zenith,
When the Moon and stars arc smiling,
And the world Is wrapped in slumberp
Place your hand in mine, my jewel;
Look up in my face and listen
While the great bell sony I'm singing.
| am thinking that Winchester
Winchester the modern Athens,
Famous f9r It's health and beauty,
For It's balmy air and fountains
Is the greatest ofall places
For Its belsand its Jel'-ringipg.
There Is not an hour, believe me!
In the Hre1ongday my jewel,
Thatyou do not hear distinctly
Some huge bell a Wngiog, ringing
Thcreearc four great schools located
In this city of the mountains;
And like other towns, they tell me,
There are tayerns here and churches.
All Of them own bells majestic,
Raised as high as they can raise them,
And they vie one with the other;
such Nagi''h riaginG ringing;
Sometimes one then another
Runs 0iead. Indeed, u stranger
Would believe the world on fire.
i.havc been peppleXcd, and wondered
II the c(aRpers did not scenM
If the delIs did not grow holy.
Should you some day pay Il visit
To this cityo the mountains,
You viii hear way in the distance
A WeatJeN 4 ringi"g ringing,
Then another and another,
AS you draw still near and nearer.
Should the swiss Bell Ringers happen
in the city OF Winchester,
Eclipsed, astoundcd and astonshed,
They would drop their bells forever.
We gelleye-so it is taught us
That all starts and stops in business
Should be governed by beU-ringing;
And bell of smaller measure
Than five hundred pounds, my jewel,
Would be pIeJian and tacky
In the city ofWinchestcr.
Now, you must not understand me,
That do not like 6eU-ringtng;
| am much devoted to them-
Could not bear the amJul silence,
II they were to cease their ringing.

NUMBER 6.
A Change In the Appointing Pow

According to the Constitution of
the U. S., the President is invested
with the power to commission all ex-
ecutive officers, and his authority to do
so has never been questioned since tho
formation Of the Union. Within tho
past few days, however, Congress, by
a simple act, has authorized the Senate
of the United States TO elect the super
intendcnt of public printing. 1t was
formerly the rule for each House to
elect its own printer, but tie law has
changed some six years 40, when the
Government printing office was es.
tablished and the President appointed
the Superintendent just as he appoint
ed any other officer of the Government.
Because the public printing is not used
exclusively for the printing OF Con-
gress, but for the Executive Depart
ments as WE'LL and therefore it was
very proper that the chief of the es-
tablishment should be appointed by
the President Not satisfied with this
innovation upon the Constitution and
the laws, the House yesterday put an
amendment to the omnibus appropria-
ton bill, abolishing the office of Com.
missioner of Public Buildings, and Gre
ating the position Of Superintendent of
Public Buildings, the appointment
whereof to be made by the Senate. This
was done for the purpose of getting rid
of Major French, whose principal Of
fence consists in having written some
verses hkeniag Andrew johnson to An
drew Jackson. In addition to these
usurpations, an amendment was added
to the same bill, authorizing the Clerk
of the House to select newspapers in
each OF the unrepresented States, for
the publication Of the laws ofCongrtss,
and of advertisements from the Execu-
tive Departments, and no papers not
selected by said Clerk shall be paid for
publishing acts Of Congress or Gov
ernment advertisements.
The design ofthis is apparent. 1t
is difficult to see, however. what the
Clerk of the House has to do with &C.
lecting papers for department. advertis'
inp.

The HOMICIDE OF THE CoLoRED
REGISTER. The Montgomery Adrer-
fiSer, OF Sunday. has the following
version of the killing of Webb, the
negro register, in Hale County, Ala
bama:
Alexander Webb, the colored re-
gister, walked into q store at Green's
boro. and made some statement which
was denied by some colored bows pre-
sent: The store-keeper Whose name
we did not hear interceded, sustain
ing the position of the boys; and his
assertion was pronounced a id lie
He asked Webb if he knew who he
was talking to. The negro replied
that he did-a ID son of b-h.
The store-keeper drew a pistol, shot
him, and, as soon as he could arrange
his papers, left.
The matter, we understand, had
nothing to do with the registry, and
the colored man forfeited his life for
most wanton insult, and as many
white men have done under similar
circumstances.

Many of our readers will long remom-
Der the high reputation that this ex.
cellent institution attained. It was
founded by the late Confederate Gen
eral, NJ. Jenkins. and his present
successor, Col. Coward. 1t was ia
vored for many years with the in
struction of the two principals, as
sisted by a select corps of able
teachers. 1t is intended for impar1A
ing plain education, and to prepare
those who intend entering the South
Carolina and other universities. The
course of studies is admirable, and
the location (Yorkville) is noted
for its salubrity. The next term be-
gins on the 18th of July next, and
ends on the 18th of December, 1867.
We heartily commend this institution
to orr readers. Its teachers are COM
petent and the terms moderate.

UPHILL BUSINESS. One of the
slowest, and hardest, and most un-
necessary jobs ever undertaken, is
for man to build up q successful
business without advertising. Fifty
or Il hundred years ago it was easier,
because there was less competition,
and the facilities for getting adver-
tiser!ents before the public were not
so good; but in the iostle Of modern
competition, those who sit down and
wait for customers are almost sure
not to get many of them, while by
judicious advertising q man may, il
six weeks, make his name and busi-
hess rs familiar to the public as those
of his competitors of twenty years
standing.
