FOR TIE ABnEVILLE PRESS.

Mr.. EDIToR-We are aware that
some of the Agents Of the Equitable
l'l!c Insurance Company Of. New
York, as we'll as those Of tho Htna
Insurance Company Of Hartford,
Conn, have been pcrpctrat'ng some
OF the most miserable saunders against
the Piedmont Life In$uranpc Compa
ny Of Richmond, Virginia, that were
ever dreamed OF. In this VIC will
refer to fcw Of them only.
1st. They say that we are insuring
without u charter.
81. That the Piedmont is a fire
company.
Sd. That the Piedmont is an ON
nlbus company-dcals in everything.
4th. That the Piedmont has no
capital.
9th. That no Southern company is
reliable.
9Th. That the policies Of the Pied
mont arc not protected against sciz-
urc for debt, and that theirs is the
only company that gives such pro.
tcctlon.
These, as we'll as other misreprc--
|scntations, will he answered fully and
satisfactorily to satisfy the most skcp-
tical, very shortly. But once and
for all, We roundIy assert that there
is not word Of truth i'll any one ol
thom. We will add only one more
remark for the present. The Equit.
able is bound, by positive promise
not TO loan cent of their funds tC
the people of the South, whilst the
Piedmont promises to loan every
copper of theirs received in South
Carolina to the citizens Of tho State
We have tried to avoid this public
appeal, having gone to tee parties
and endeavored to set them right or
the subject, but they continue to cir
culate these reports, and no other
course is left us. We respectfully
ask the citizens Of the State to with
hold their opinion until full invcs
tigation is made, which will shortly
appear. We challenge the most rig
id and prying scrutiny Of the affair:
OF the Piedmont. The truth is, if i
must be told, that they find US II
their way, and wish to shove us off:

LATIN PREscR1PT1oNs.-The Journal of
C0mMerce is urging a change in the
method of writing medical prescriptions:
"Any one who mas examined these exi
traordinary productions of practicing ply
sicians (says the editor) must have been
surprised, not that mistakes are soi11s:
times made by which the lives of unfor-
tunatc patients are sacrificed, but that
the majority are served with the medi-
cines which wers intended in the order
The reform We propose consists of d
change from the dead language to ordi-
nary vcrnacular. The only objection to
this is trat it would do away with the
mystery Of the prescription, and the pa
tient by examining the order could learn
for himself what he was expected to swal-
low. We still insist that this would be
an incidental advantage instead of u seri-
Gus objection, and we repeat our recon:
mendation that al! prescriptions, to be
compounded by the druggist be written
in plain English. AS some doctors will
object the Legislature should require it
under heavy penalty. If any patient
still wishes 10 be kept in the dark let the
physician compound the dose himself, or
have il done by his verbal order; but let
all written prescriptions in a dead lam
guago be absolutely prohibited. There
has not been a case Of fatal error in read
ing prescription, which has come under
our notice, when the mistake would have
been at all probable if the rule we pro.
pose had been adopted. In our former
discussion, we cited many Illustrations
Tho recent sad death by an over dose Of
ammonia is another added to the list:
Tho Physician ordered: A. Calcis, 1snet:
Opu, Az. CInnam Had he written lime
water, laudanum and cinnamon, there
would have been no room for the fatal
error. Those who practice on the homeo-
pathic system furnish their own medicines
to the patients at their bed-sides, and this
is not, after all, bad precedent for the
allopathists to follow. AT any rate, if
they must risk the compounding by un-
known parties, the least they ought to be
compelled to 90 for the public safety is the
writing of the order in plain English"

QuARnELmNG.-If anything in the
world will make man feel badly, except
pinching his fingers in the crack of door,
it is unqucstionabIy quarrel. No man
ever fails to think less of himself than be-
fore. 1t degrades him in the eyes of 9th
ers, and what is worse blunts his sensibii-
tiles on one hand, and increases the pow
er of passionate irritabilty on the other
The truth is, the moro peaceably and
quietly we get on, the better tor our
better course is, if man cheats you cease
to deal with him; if he is abusive, quit
his company; and if he slanders you take
care that nobody will believe him. Nc
matter how he misuses you, the wisest
way is to let him alone; for there is moth
ing better than this cool, calm, and quiet
way of dealing with the wrongs we meet
with.

ATTEMPTED EscApE.-Col. e. NJ. Yer
ger, who was recently tried by court
martial for the killing of Maj. Crane, at
Jackson, Miss, attempted to make his
escape from the guardhousc OH tho eve
ming of the 10th instant. The following
is the account given
By somo means, as yet unexplained, he
had obtained possession of a key with
which he could unlock his manacles. His
handouts have, for the last week or more,
been removed by day, and only fastened
on at night. Yesterday the guard who
was stationed inside noticed Yerger, while
mounted on box which served for q
washstand, and on box which he occa
sionally mounts to look through his gra-
ting, in the act of concealing key in a
crevco about the grating. Finding that
he was detected, he admitted to the senti-
mel that it was key with which he could
unfasten his manaclcs. He further sta
ted, so says the guard, when he obtained
his confidence by professed sympathy,
that he expected keys from which he
should be able to obtain one that would
unlock his handouts, and if the guard
should return the other keys to Mr.. Yer
ger he should be we'll paid. When the
discovery was reported to the officer of
the guard Yerger said Mrs. 1erger had
furnished him with the key. To-day, in
the presence of Mrs. Yerger, he denied
having said so. From ..variols crrcum.
stances, it is believed Mrs. Yerger was
utterly ignorant of his possessing tho
key. The probability is that a bribe OBJ
tained it from one Of the guards, or, as
Yerger has since stated, that he obtained
it from prisoner who swept cut his cell,
on a promise of five dollars in the event
of his escape. The matter is yet sar-
rounded with somo mystery.

The LATE EcmpsE.-A correspondent
of Philadelphia paper thus writes of q
prolonged "totality."
"Fow people trouble themselves to
think what the effect would be if the
eclipse of Saturday were to last any
length of time, and the sun were blotted
from the heavens Philosophy declares
that not only would horror ct darkness
cover the earth, but the moisture Of the
air ' ould be preciptated in vast showers
to thesearth, and the temperature fall to
q fearful point Of cold, nothing less than
23O degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. The
earth would be the seat of darkness and
more than Arctic desolation. Nothing
could survive such freezing cold a mo-
ment, more than one could breathe in
scalding water. In three days alter the
cooling process began, nothing created
would be alive but the monsters that wal
low in deep ocean, and the eyeless rep
tiles that make their haunts in caves
which penetrate for underground"

RECOVERY OF a LOST DIAMOND RING
THROUGH A DREAM.-A few nights ago a
lady, while taking walk, lost a valuable
diamond ring from her finger in some m
accountable way. Dligent atid extensive
search was made, without any clue to the
ring, and the lady gave it up as gone "for
good and ALL" Before daylight the fol-
lowing morning tho lady was surprised
by the calls of her nurse, small negro
girl. On being admitted to her mistress,
the girl, who had not heard of tho ring
being lost, said she had just had dream,
in which she was apprised when, where
and how the jewel had been lost, and that,
if allowed, she felt sure she could find it.
She then described the place and manner
in which the ring disappeared, and begged
her mistress to go with her and test the
dream. This strange circumstance was
made known TO the household but all
treated it with the utmost incrcdulity.
It was afterwards concluded to humor the
eirl, however, and she and several white
n members of the family proceeded to the
designated spot, moro than hundred
wards from the house. Hero tho dreamer
ttold her mistress that, as directed in her
dream, she must drop another ring and it
would roll as guide 10 the missing one,
A plain gold ring was handed the girl,
she let it fall, and sure enough it rolled
and stopped within two inches of the lost
diamond ring, which had got into cre7-
ice between two bricks of the pavement.
1t may be imagined that the ring hunters
wore Somewhat astounded at the miracle
There is not the least fiction about this
