SILENT INFLUEscE.-The Rev.
Albert Barnes says: "It is the
bpbbling stream that flows gently;
the little riyulet which runs along,
day and night, by the farm house,
thatis useful, rather than the swof-
len food Of warning cataract. Nj
agara excites our wonder, and we
stand amazed at the power and
greatness Of God there, as he pours
it from the hollow Of His hand.
But one Niagara is enough for the
continent or the world while the
same world requires thousands
and tens of thousands Of silver
fountains and gentle flowing rivu-
lets that water every farm and
meadow and every garden, and
shall flow on every day and night
with their gentle, quiet beauty.
So with the acts Of our lives. 1t is
not by great deeds, like those of
the martyrs, good is to be done, but
by the daily and quiet virtues of
life, the christian temper, the good
Qualities of relatives and friends" +"

A Cool TopER.-A good anec-
dete is told Of a man named Bent
ley, confirmed drinker, who
would never drink with a friend
or in public, and always bitterly
denied when a little overcome:
ever tasting liquor. One day
some bad witnesses concealed
themselves in his room, and whed
the liquor was running down his
throat, seized him with his arm
crooked andhis mouth open, and
holding him fast asked him with
an air of triumph: "Ah, Bentley,
we have caught you at last2 You
never drink, eh ?" No one would
suppose but that Bentley would
have acknowledged the fact Not
he. With the most grave and mex
pressive face, he calmly, and in

The Presidents Message.

The Message of President John
son, July 18th, recommends four
amendments to the Constitution:
I. That the Presidential term
of Office be changed from four to
six years, that no President shall
be eligible for reelection, and that
the President shall be elected di-
rectIy:by the people, each State
to be divided into Presidential
election districts equal in number
to the whole number of Senators
and Representatives to which the
State is. entitled, each of these
districts to control one electoral
vote. A majority Of the whole
number of votes to be required for
election, and if there is no choice,
a. second election must be held, at
which only the two persons re-
ceiving the highest number of
votes at the first election can be
candidates. The Vice-President
to be chosen in the same manner
as the President.
2. That in case of a vacancy in
the Presidency by death, reslgna-
ton, incapacity or removal, 1t
shall be filled by the Secretary Of
State, or by the other members Of
the Cabinet in the following Or
der: Secretaries, Treasury, War,
Navy, Interior, Postmaster-Gene-
raj and Acknowledgement.
3. That the election of United
States Senators shall be given to
the people.
4. That the term of Office of the
Judges of the Supreme Court
shall be limited to twelve years.
These are all the propositions
which have been discussed re-
peatedly, and Mr.. johnson does
not lay claim to originality in
suggesting them. He merely says
that he has favored them publicly
since 1915, and that he presents
them under a deep sense of his
obligation to recommend to
Congress such measures as he
may deem necessary and expedl-
dient,-Mar1eston Mercury.

A PROCLAMATION.

A Chicago paper says: We
took new reporter on trial yes
terday. He went out to hunt
items, and after being away all
day, returned with the following,
which he said was the best he
could do: Yesterday we saw a
sight, that froze our muscles
with horror. A hackman, driving
down Clark street at a rapid pace,
came very near running over a
nurse and two children. There
would have been one of the most
heart-rending catastrophes ever
recorded, had not the nurse with
wonderful forethougbt, left the
children ut home before she went
out, and providentially stepped
into a drug store just before the
hack passed. Then, too, the hack
man, just before reaching the
crossing, thought of something ne
had forgotten, and turning about
drove in the opposite direction.
Had it not been for this wonder
derful concurrence of favoring cir
cumstances, a doting father, low
ing mother, affectionate brothers
and sisters, would have been
plunged into the deepest woe and
most unutterable funeral expen-
ses. The new reporter will be
retained.

Kissing Along the Line.
The Boston Post has brief os-
culating article which, though
neither very good nor true, We
copy because it is on popular
subject :. ;r.. -: -
Tho varied emotions excited by
young ladiesin leading cities, along
the line from Boston to St. Louis,
as kisses are caught or stolen from
their sweet lips, is expressed in
something. like the following man.
ner: A Boston girl says with an
assumption of Indignation )-"sirj
I declare such liberty as that is
beyond all bounds of propriety
and gentlemauy manners. I-''she
is stopped by another, which IS :.
not resisted very badly. The New
York girl says Indeed, Mr..
Brown, your conduct is a little
familiar, if not ardent. I've half
a mind to ask what you take, me
for ?" The reply of Brown is that
he takes her for something nice
and sweet, and a sharp, rapid
smacking ensues. TheBufalo girl
says, with marked positiveness Of
manner, but with equally marked
cerity-"Wretch, thief pua

it for the world. She not only
don't loseit but gets (asthe wants)

The Philadelphia girl says-"So
you think that's dreadful smart :;
you wouldn't have done it if I had
been looklng-no, indeed," but
she makes it point not to look.
The Baltimore girl says-"Repeat;
the insult if you dare, sir" and
exposes her face that it may be
done easily and often. The Wash
ington girl remarks-"You've
been and gone and done it, have

Chicago girl says-"Confound d
your impudence-do you take
me for a New Y Yorker? I'd have you
know there is a spice Of danger.in
that, little matter" The, only
danger she apprehendsi is that you
won't cut and, come again. The
Cincinnati girl says-"Did you
ever-no, I never-you men are
perfect monsters" Affects tears
and indignation, but it is assuaged
by a duplication of the old dose

A Ratification Meeting in Co.
lumbia-Return Of Governor
Perry.
COLUMBIA, July 20-11 P. N.

COLUMBIA, July 20-11 P. N.
A large and enthusiastic Demo
cratic meeting was held tonight,
and was addressed by Governor
Perry, who has just returned from
New York. His appearance was
greeted with the greatest ap-
plause. He spoke nearly an hour,
giving very interesting account,
of the way in which the delega-
ton from this State was received
in New York, and detailed the
manner and causes Of the votes
cast by our delegates. He said
that Hampton was the lion of the
Convention. [Deafening cheers. ]
Hampton was courted by all par
ties, North, South. East and West,
and when, as a member of the
Committee on Platform, he sub
mitted that section which declares
the Reconstruction Acts void and
revolutionary, the rest of the
Committee told him to make it as
strong as he pleased, they would
endorse it. ... ~
Gov. Perry paid the highestsen-
comiums to Seymour and Blair.
He said the former was the; great
est statesman Of the Democratic
party, and the latter the gallant
officer who had the maniness, af-
ter the fight was over, to hold out
the hand Of Fellowship. Abiding
to the late Act Of Congress re-
specting the Electoral College,
Perry said that it was the great
est fraud yet attempted, and
meant that if the Southern States
cast their votes for Grant they
would be counted, if for Seymour
they would be excluded. In this
case he said Gen. Blair's letter
would haze practical illustra-
-rrUu, aud-tl-a DE naon-a+s ss- -l
and South would rise up and drive
the usurpers from the halls Of leg
islation. Immense applause.]

the result has always been in favor
Of the constant stirring of the

growing season, but we would
have the ground deeply and
throughly stirred early in the
season, whether it were az old or

that vigorous growth of top and
root has commenced, all deep TIL
lage should cease, because, by
pursuing it, constant and con-

truly healthy growth prevented
by repeated breaking and tearing
asunder the roots and fbers, the

BARBARoUs.-Henry Means, a
colored man died in, this city, on
Thursday night !; and because he
voted the conservative ticket, his
his color refused to assist at the
burial. This fact coming to the
ears of one of the leading citizens,
he made it known, and at 9 o'clock,
on Saturday morning, thirty-fve
or forty gentlemen went to his
house, and proceeded with the
body to the cemetery. They had
prepared nice coffin, and all other
arrangements for decent burial.
Thus he was buried by his white
friends, and a beautiful wreath Of
evergreens placed upon his grave.
The services were conducted by
the Rev. Mr.. Halton, Of the Meth
odist Church.
Had the fact of the refusal on
the part of his color been known
sooner, we doubt not but that
hundreds Of our citizens would
have been present. And it was
their plain duty to see that the
man did not receive detriment,
because he was friend to his
country.-Charlotte Times.
