For several days past we have had rain. II
rained throughout the entire day, Wednesday, and
at night the heaviest rain fell that We have seen
for years. The whole country has been flooded
mil1-dams broke, bridges washed away, and we
fear considerable damage done the cotton crops.
We hear Of much fever in the country, but none
OF serious snature.-Bdrn,oeH Sentinel.
Abbeville District has much to rejoice over at
present: truly 80, indeed. In these our DAYS OF
poverty and distress, mother earth comes to our
timely relief throws open her bosom, and discloses
to view the rich treasures SO l9ag hidden There
the surrounding country TEEN with much yellow
gold, Two companies are already at work, sinking
tremendous shafts, and obtaining rich specimens

ly wrought out by some experienced metallurgists,
we venture the assertion that California was never
richer. Several times our attention has been
called to some rich specimens Of gold ore obtained
from the mines owned by Mrs. Wilson, of Green
wood, and MIR. Nelson, OF this place. Up to the
comment upon the matter, thinking call that gilt
ters is not gold :" also knowing the infatuation
most commonly following the gold seeker. But
now the little knowledge wo have Of the history Of
gold veins and their beds in the bowels Of the
earth" and from samples prsdlced, will justify US
in saying that capitalists are invited in this direc-
ton In laundering calls. While at the mountain,
we observed field quite enough to war; INT visit
by some eminent geologist, mineralogist, or ex-
plorist.
We are satisfied amply that somo terrible igne-
GUS agency has disturbed the earth there within
the last haK century. Signs are unmistakably
prominent.
In fact some OF the most respectable gentlemen
Of our village positively affirm that within their
memory smoke has escaped from the earth at that
point; also, rocks became heated and remained 80
several days. ga
Why this fact has not become historical and
chronicled in every scientific review is wonder.
II this golden opportunity awaits proper investi-
cation, and will add another page in history and
pass this way and set us at right on the subject?
The ore found here assimilates the sDoons ore"
precisely, together with other notifications. Has
the finger OF kind Providence touched that section
and made the earth groan and send forth smoke to

Tho Paris L,bete tells the following story Of

roism is not positively his forte, lie commanded a
retreat, and turned his horses head. In his fight
the animal received ball and fell. A soldier, in
his extreme peril, took the Colonel up behind him,
but the horse, having double weight, Stacked his
pace, and the enemy approached rapidly. LOPEZ
understood that if nothing was done they were
both lost, and so he drew pistol from his belt,

In Hungary many of the most prominent men

In Hungary many Of the most prominent mon
Of 1883 are taking advantage Of the amnesty.
Generals K1ApKA, PERczEI, VErTER, and others,
have returned to their native country, and their
arrival has frequently been the cause of public re-
joicings and festivities. KossUTH has peen pro-
posed as q candidate for seat in the Diet by the
Extreme Left at Waitzen. GoRaEY has also been
at Pesth, and intends to return to his country.
The Liberals have not yet forgiven him for his
capitulation Of Vilagos, and his bitter opposition
to KossUTH. The daughter OF GoRaEY is engaged
to be married to N. BoHUs, the owner of the es-
tate and manor Of Vilagos, the scene Of the fa-
nous capitulation.

The result of the International Currency Con
gress at Paris was the Adoption OF two resolutions:
1st, that the same gold unit should be adopted by
all the Governments represented in tho Congress;
and, I'd, that at least one coin shonld be intro
duced by each, whose value should be eqqsi 70
that of some coin in another country. The latter
is merely to establish some point Of departure for
future operations. France proposes her tive ranc
piece; England her penny; Germany her thaier
and guldeH; and the United States the dollar. The
latter approaches the matter on its most feasible
side. Nothing better than the decimal can be
pitched upon. It WAS so agreed on all sides, IN
reference to weights and measures, and cannot be
less SO in the matter of currency. For example.
the franc can be increased in value trife; the
shilling diminished; the German smaller coin
might be made equal in value to our dime. and
then 1t would evenly divide the thaler and gplden,
which ars respectively seventy. and forty cents,
The Spanish coinage would require simply to take
the dime instead OF tho real just as we super
seded Spanish and Mexican coin with our hves
and tens On the dollar basis, therefore, 1t appears
practicable to bring about harmony in the com
Currency of the world. Taking that tor the start
ing point all CONS can readily adjust themselves
to tho new and simple standard. Tho decimal
system would thus get upon it's feet at once, and
reckoning be made easy.-Boston Post, l4M.

The Paris correspondent Of tho New York Times,
in letter dated June 18th, thus writes history
OF a reporter who persisted in taking notes under
ircumstancesSwhich would have compelled many
men, Of extraordinary courage even, TO desist and
seek place OF safety:
Matthieu Donzelot was. in $780, 'locaP for the
Moniteur, and was found by q friend during the
memorable July days Of that year, in the midst OF
shower of clubs and stones that were flying be-
.sWhat are you doing here, you poor devil You'd
better get away from here II you want to save
your skin whole, )" said he. Donzelot paid no at
tention, but kept on busily noting down the facts
of the contest g, tell you, DonEelot, you'd better
follow me if you have any regard for your Lille, 7"
said he again, as he turned to leave. "God for
bid |" said the mperturbable local, and kept on
with his account" Seeing his friend making
preparations for o hasty retreat he coolly called
out 70 him: 9"But, SAY Thomas, u you sre g.
ihg That &ay, win y6d just take those sheets into
tlnustion."
An hour later the soldiers received orders to fire
with ball cartridges, and in the first volley, Donze
lot was hit by ball. A surgeon came running to
him. s'You are wounded2" asked he. eyes, "
said Donzelot sand pretty badly too, take It, for
can't write, find" Never mind your writing,
said the surgeon ssyou're badly hurt you must
be bound to the table," s'There's not 80 much
hurry about that, Doctor. Every man to his pro.
this affair, and II you really want to do mo service,
beg you to carry these notes to our officer, and
add this postscript: 1920 P. MA yolley fred by
the National Guard at thus moment resulted in
wounding three citizens and killing one." "The
wounded SEQ well enough" said the surgeon,
"but where is the dead man ?" 81 am he," said
Donzelot, and expired,
