A PIONEER PoMoLoG1sr.A About two
years ago Mr.. Derby, the well-known
New York publisher, purchased fruit
farm at Aiken, S. c., the property Of
Mr.. Marley, orSl2, 900 $4,000. Mr..
Derby moved his family to the farm,
and went vigorously to work to make
his investment productive. At first
there were many difficulties to overcome,
but Mr.. Derby persevered, and we are
assured that his .proft.,has averaged
$500 per month during the whole period
of his possession. This handsome income
was derived from the sale of peaches,
apples and grapes-the last having turn
ed out to be very profitable There is
still much to bedone inthe way ofsecur-
ing proper accommodation and quick
steamship passage to the Northern cities
before the fruit trade can reach its most
remunerative point; but it is estimated
that in good year, with fair shipping
facilities, the crop of Mr. Dcrby's farm
will sell for at least $4,000.
In auulllOH W securing ~ Souiiu uiiN'
valuable an investment, Mr.. Derby has
recruited his health, which was delicate.
and is now said to be Of. the opinion that
Aiken is the hcalthiest place on this
continent, and may be made one Of the
most prosperous.
The gentleman whom we have men
toned was not u practical farmer. Nor
had he any experience in pornology
But he was an intelligent man of busl-
ness, and gave the trees Of old Aiken
an opportunity Of doing their very best.
The success which Mr.. Derby has met
with WILL we hope, stimulate others to
follow his example. Industrious, hard-
working men could soon make the face
of the country smile like u garden; and
none could do it better, and more to
their own advantage, than some of our
steady, thrifty Germans, who have the
knack Of malSing'a money machine of
every undertaking to which they put
their hands.-Chdrleston Neaes

Guests of the Heart.


Soft falls through the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves,
And. .stirs with tremulous rustic
The dead and the dying leaves;
While afar, in the midst Of the shadows,
Ihear the sweet voices of bells,
Come borne on the wind of the autumn,
That ftfully rises and swels.
They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again
AS the deep and the shrill in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain;
AS the voices of sentinels mingle
In noun tainous regions Of snow,
Till from hilltop chorus
Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows, the ire-light of even
The sound Of the rains distant chime,
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts of shadowy time;
The slumberous sense Of secusion,
From storm and intruders nloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter ofrain on the roof.
When the spirit goes forth in it's yearnings
To take ull its wanderers homo;
Or, afar in the regions Of fnncy,
Delights on swift pinions to roam,
quietly sit by the fire light
The freight so bright and so warm
For l know that those only who love me
Will seek me through shadow and storm.
But should they be absent this evening,
Should even the household depart
Deserted, should not be lonely;
There still would be guests in my heart.
The faces of friends that cherish,
The smile, and the glance, and the tone,
Will haunt me wherever wander, -
And thus I nm never alone.
With those who have left far behind them
The joys. and the SORROWS of time
Who sing the sreet songs of the angels
In purer and holicr cline
Then darkly, oh evening of autumn
Your rain aud your shadows may fall
My loved and my lost ones you bring me;
My heart holds feast with them all.

a HINT TO EMrLoYERs.-The eman-
cipation of our slaves has worked many
Inconvenience to our people, but-none
SO marked in its personal discomforts
as those which flow from the constant
changes in our domestics. No house
keeper has any assurance that the ser
wants of to-day will be at their place
tomorrow. Every thingis uncertainty
when a servant is employed, no one,
such is the dcmoralization, regards it as
permanent. AS Nhousc-keepers we hive
N N constant dread of waking up each
morning mlin,es help. And this state
of things is peculiar to the South. No
other people on earth are thus annoy
ed with the uncertainty of servants.
Nor does the fault rest with the SER
wants themselves. The fault rests sole
ly with our people, they :" love to have
it SO. Day after day we hear Of one
family tempting the servants of another
to leave, Such conduct is decidedly
small and contemplate. 1t is indica-
tive of bad breeding, and is conclusive
of the fact that the offender knows but
little of good manners. Aslong as this
abomination is INDUCED in we shall
have trouble with our domestics. The
poor, weak creatures are naturally fond
of change, and as this temptation is con-
stantly thrust at them they will be
everlastingly changing. Our people can
remedy all this inconvenience by lit
tie common sense, mixed and shaken up
with considerable good naanners.-Char.

Don't Associate with Mougrels.

Tie Huntsville ( Ala Democrat closes
long appeal to its fellow-citizens not
to associate with or speak. to a Mongrel
as follows:
Neither our foes nor We. are playing
pantomime. We are enacting solemn,
enduring history, pregnant with veal or
woe to ourselves, our families, our coun-
try, and our race Shall we-can we,
in Justice to ourselves, our families, our
racc-live on terms of social intimacv
with the white renegades, who are wolK
ing out our ruin? Can we tip the sly
wink, utter the jovial Jest, touch the So
cial glass, break bread with them, give
them the right hand Of fellowship
while they, outstrctching one hand in,
token ofpeace and friendship, areready,
with the other, to give us the deadly
thrust of Joab? Can we laugh and
Joke with those who are principals, or
accessories, in any degree, in the crimes
Of undermining our social fabric; de-
stroying our personal liberties subvert-
ing our government; running our for
tunes dcsolating cur land revelingin
the. exercise OF our dearest birthrights,
Of which they have robbed us; and
threatening our women with pollution,
and all of us with indiscriminate massa-
ere! No! we cannot consistently with
high sense of duty, and a right ap-
probation of our responsibilities. Let
us, then, put all such enemies of the
human race in social Coventry; hold no
social communion with them; give them
unmistakable evidence, by. ominons 81
lencc, chilling indifference-if need be,
indignant scorn, dignifed reserve and
contempt-that we have no disposition
to be on terms Of social familiarity with
them. Society often has the power of
remedying or removing public evils,
when an armed police or yconstabulary
would prove Intellectual. Public opin-
ion is more potent than public law, and
social ostracism more terrible than an
army with banners.

Gold in Spartanburg,

Our friend ]. W. Hardy, merchant
Of this town, delighted our eyes-not
our pockets-with the sight of a jar,
containing about one and a quarter
pound of pure gold-worth about two
hundred and ten dollars in gold. This
gold had been obtained from vein
mine on North Pacolett river in this
District, by Capt. H. G. Robertson and
Sons, in eight days Their mill cost
them about eight hundred dollars, and
is yielding them profit Of about five
hundred dollars month. The gold
they are running out, runs considerably
over the average in fneness CT other
American gold They have a four stamp
battery in operation on North Pacolett
river, and are doing well. The vein
they are now working, is small, but
yields a handsome profit. The elder
son of Captain Robertson spent some
twelve years in the mines of California
and Arazona Territory, and says this
country when fairly developed, will
compare favorably with the mines of
the West. These gentlemen are about
extending their operations, and will
soon open other VEINS and put up mills,
which, if they meet his expectations,
will add new interest to this section of
the State. Capt. Robertson authorizes
us to say that, on application, he VIII
give his services gratis in prospecting
the lands Of others. This is certainly
very liberal and patriotic on his part
and We hope that his generous offer
will be duly appreciated by our people.
Who knows, but what our good old Iron
District, may become at last the Golden
District of glorious old South Carolina.
The Captain informs us, that he knows
of some dozen more vein mines in our
District. We'hear of some others who
have made discoveries, and are as vet,
working only ON a small scale. Let
every Body keep bright lookout-who
knows what may happen 2-spartan.

The WASHINGTON correspondent of the

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says: 1T is now un-
derstood that if General Grant is elect
ed President, one Of his first movements
will be to call France to account for the
establishment of the empire in Mexico.
This is an old sore with Grant, and it
is the one thing concerning which he
may be said to have policy" He is
known to have been in favor of driving
the French troops from Mexico by force,
and would have been very glad to use
what he had learned to consider as his
army, for that,purposeimmediately after
the surrender of Lee and the close of
our war"

A LAWYERS TRIcK.-We have fire.
quentlv observed that many Of our
prominent lawyers are fond Of dogs
perhaps it is because they can treat a
dog. as some of them do witness
bawl at him and abuse him, and then
make him answer to their call, and
bark when they give the word. One
Of our lawyers had o fine dog stolen
from him a few days ago, and he hit
upon plan to get him back at atriAing
expense. He put an advertisement in
one of the papers offering a reward of
500 for the return of the dog, which
he described. Instead of putting his
own name to the advertisement, he used
the name Of friend. Before ten o'clock
the next morning this friend received
call from O man who led in the law
yer's dog.
Here is your dog, said the man,
Z" 1 want the 500 reward. "
That is not my dog; that dog be-
longs to Lawyer Brief, and if you don't
want to be arrested for larceny, you
had better take him home.
The man took the dog to the lawyer
and claimed the reward.
That's my dog, said the lawyer; he
was stolen from Inc; I offered no reward
for him but think l shall have you
arrested for having stolen property in
your possession"
The man did not wait to be arrested,
but left suddenly, and the lawyer recov-
cred his dog.-Exchange.

How TO CATCH RArs.-For catching
rats in cheap and effective manner,
we recommend the following: Cover q
common barrel with stiff, stout paper,
tying the edge around the barrel; place
board so that the rats may have easy
access to the top sprinkle cheese par
ings or other feed, for the rats on the
paper for several days, until they begin
t, believe that they have rightto their
daily rations from this source. Then
place in the bottom of the barrel q
piece Of rock, about six or seven inches
high, filling with water until only enough
of it projects above the water for one
rat to lodge upon. Now replace the pa
per, first cutting cross in the middle,
and the first rat that comes on the bar
rel top goes through into the water, and
climbs on the rock. The paper comes
back to place, and the second rat follows
the first. Then begins fight for the
possession of the dry place on the stone,
the noise of which attracts the rest, who
share the same fate.-iScient5fc Farmer.

VALUABLE CALIFORNIA WooDs.-The
bacramento Bee has the following article
bpon the subject of native woods Of Califor-
lia:
California, it is now definitely ascertained,
contains a large quantity of valuable furni-
IRE woods. Her pine cannot be excelled for
building purposes or for foundation cabinet
york. Her sugar pine is among the clearest
Ind best lumber known, and her live oak and
nanzanita cannot be excelled as firewood
rhese are all reasonably protected by law
rom vandal destruction, but her still more
faluable wood, the laurel-which for ship
building and house decorations is perhaps
he best anywhere known-has not line on
he statute book to protect it. Parties inter-
sted in the preservation of this timber will
SIX the Legislature to pass law with proper
mes and penalties for the wanton destruction
hereof upon the public domain-and Of
curse the request will readily be granted.
By and by this laurel will be much used for
|apering walls, and it will be the finest de-
|Oration that a house can have. In the East
I'm States handsome woods are now cut in
|Dng thin strips, like paper, and put on walls
Instead of paper /; but they have nothing that
pill compare in beauty and richness with
he California laurel. This wood will be in
|emand for export for cabinet purposes so
bon as its worth can be made known. Its
possession is of great value to the State, and
be forests should be preserved.

THE McARDLE CAsE.-Chief Justice
Chase having announced that the Supreme
Court would consider the above named case,
it gains considerable importance from the
fact that it is said to involve the constitution
ality of the Reconstruction Act. McArdle is
or was the editor of the Vicksburg Times,
and is under arrest for the publication Of Sc
ditious articles. The following are samples ::
THE ScoUNDRELIsM OF Submissive
said, few days since, that to be a military
satrap in the poor downtrodden South was
er necessitate rel, to be a scoundrel. As
there is good God in Heaven we believe it /;
and we believe also that there is not single
shade of difference between Scoheld, Sickles,
Sheridan, Pope and Ord, and that they each
and all are infamous, cowardly and abandon
ed villains, who, instead of wearing shoulder
straps, and ruling millions of people, should
have their heads shaved, their ears cropped,
their foreheads branded, and their precious
persons lodged in penitentiary.
STAY AWAY FROM THE PoLLs.-We again
urge every decent white man, every honorable
gentleman of the Caucasian race, to avoid
Gen. Ord's election as he would avoid pestil-
cnce and prison. As this advice does
not apply and is not intended for the white
snakes of the Loyal League, we shall expect
the last named despicable vermin out in all
their strength. We should like to see the
scoundrels out in procession in daylight We
would engage Herrick to take their photo
graphs. They would make an addition to
the rogue's gallery; and if our friend Clark
would only have them transferred to the Po-
lice Gazette, the transaction wonld insure his
fortune.
THE IMMORTAL FIGHT-We are gratifed
to be able to announce to the readers OF the
Times that at the Court House yesterday,
the only place open for the whole people,
there were cast the votes Of eight white men |
only We tried to get the names of the in
teresting sneaks who voted but failed, though |
the Times office was and is ready to pay a |
dollar for the name Of each voter. We shall |
publish the names Of these voters if we can
obtain them, and some day we shall /; but if
we do not we shall with pride chronicle the
fact that in the heroic city of Nicksburg, the
gallant Saragossa of the South, there were
only eight towards, dogs and scoundrels, Of
the My gait and MCGEE stripe.
