An editor of a paper informs his
readers that the ladies always pull
off their left stocking last. This,
as may be supposed, created some
stir among his fair readers, and
while in positive terms they az
MED the statement, they insisted
that lie had no business. to know
it, even if such were the fact, and
pronounced him no gentleman.
He proves it, however, by a short
argument: "When one stocking
is pulled off, there is another left
on pulling off this is taking the
left stocking off last"

a Man Marries His Mother.

It will be remembered By many
of our citizens that at a wedding
which was solempized near Rusty
but, Georgia. some time in l945,
the brides father was killed in a
difficulty with a brother of her
husband. This occurrence is, per-
haps, b. ought too readily to the
minds Of our readers. 1t is, to
those acquainted with the circum-
stance, known that the bride OF
but a few hours attempted to kill
her husband with a pistol. The
wife and husband parted. She
went to an interior village in Tex
as, and he remained, until the
war, peaceably upon his planta-
tion-although be- married in the
meantime, and to him was born o
son, which son entered the army
of the Confederate States, and fol-
lowed the banners of Dick Taylor,
Magruder, and others of tiHe noble
chieftains who commanded the
soldiers around the Gulf After
the war the young man wandered
about through the Gulf States, and
finally located in Texas where his
fathers former wife lived. She
had resumed her maiden name,
and was the proprietress of a
large and well-paying hotel, where
she had accumulated an immense
fortune. Arriving at the village,
the young man stopped at the ho-
tel, and was we'll provided for by
the enterprising matron. Neither
knew the relation Of one to the
other. and although there is a
vast difference in their ages-he
but STRIPPING youth, and she a
weel-preserved, comely woman OF
nearly forty-an intimacy sprung
up between them, which ripened
into affection, and resulted in the
proposition by the young man OF
marriage. He was accepted, and
in a few days the quiet hotel was
tho scene of marriage reyelry.
Thus the. solemn wedding cere'
mony united a man to the wife oi
his father-his mother, nearly
and to the would-be assassin OF
Ibis father. 81 Verify truth is stran'
| ger than fiction A man, marries

they are introduced, or when they

faces the outspoken scorn as the

generally too transparent to de-

most important requirements o

most important requirements OF
good husbandry.
Another error in farm buildings
consists in want of compactness-'
they are too wide apart. They
should be built as nearly together
as circumstances will admit
Such farm yards, as VIC SEQ in
England and Germany, cannot be
arranged here, because the wood
en- material of which the houses
are made, are so liable to destruc
tion by fire, that very close prox-
unity between buildings is impos-
sibIe. Yet important improve
ments can be made here, without
increasing the danger of fire.
Above all, horse-stables, wagon
sheds and harness.rooms belong
close together. If the farmer
would closely consider how much
time he loses, by the wide sepera-
tion of these buildings, perhaps he
would be concerned of the wisdom
of pulling them down at once,
and erecting others of more prac-
tical design. Perhaps the neces,
sity of paying higher wages will
give an impulse to Improvement
in farm architecture; buildings
will be erected upon the prin'
ciples taught by experience
and science, rather than according
to inclination or accident.
1t may be mentioned as another
advantage resulting from compact
arrangement of farm buildings
that the proprietor can overlook
the farm-yard and prevent idle
ness and theft.
A good farm-yard ought to be
built in the form of a square. On
one side of this square the dwell.
ing house must stand, and on the
opposite side the stables and the
barn; another side the. gin;
house, and opposite this the sheds
for the wagons and tools. Stuff
cicnt room ought to be preserved
| between these several buildings
to lessen danger from fire, and
afford space for manure pens, &c
If, now, the spaces between al
the buildings be filed up-that is
| the square enclosed-by strong
and high fence, and the back doors
we'll scanned, the proprietor can
supervise every thing from his
chamber and his laborers can have
no opportunity to indulge in mis-
| conduct. .... ....

The Letter of Governor Scott.

The Letter of Governor Scott.
It beseems not a public journal
to'dally with impurity, or to speak,
without grave cause, OF the man
whose life is notoriously corrupt ;
and we have felt no pleasure, as
we expected no profit, in barring
to the broad light Of day the wan
ton and persistent slanders of the
person who is now styled-Gov-
ernor of South Carolina. Had the
shaft been aimed at an individual,
however high in character or po-
sition, we might have hesitated to
arraign R. K. Scott, Governor, at
the bar of public opinion. But
the white people of the State in
which we live, and whose every
interest is ours, had been out,
rageonsly misrepresented and
abused and, without hesitation as
without personal malice, we hast
ened to expose the calumny, and
to vindieate as best we might the
good name Of this State and Of her
people.
And in declaring that the white
people of South Carolina will not
submit to be hectored and bullied
by negro soldiery, and that they
will never so far. dishonor their
ancestors and shame their wives
and children as to bow to the rule
of negro militia, we but gave ex-
preston to the feeling which
quickens the pulse, nerves the arm
and fushes the face of every re-
spectacle white man from the sea-
board to the mountains. It was
not to have been expected that
this feeling would have met the
sympathy or indeed entered the
comprehension Of a man like Gov
ernor Scott.

sought to be branded as false, and
upon which was founded the ar.

The Judicial Elections.

1t will be seen by reference to the ar
ticlc below, copied from the Knoxville
Press and Herald, that the people of
East Tennessee are not disposed to lon
ger tolerate the infamous policy of maxi
ing blind zeal to party the sole and
ruling qualification for judicial position: I:
The Radical Convention which was
called to meet at Rogersville, on We'd
ncsday last, to nominate candidate for
Chancellor of the First District, proved
to be a wretched failure. Only two
counties of the District were represent
ed and the delegates who were present,
being disgusted with the appearance of
things, decided to take no action at all.
This was sensible, and this failure to get
up even respectable mockery of po-
litical convention to nominate candi-
date for SO high judicial Office as
Chancellor, indicates that the people
themselves are already becoming dis
gusted with the late attempts to bedrag-
gle the judicial ermine in the political
inire. 1t shows furthermore that politi-
cal trickstcrs, too, are finding out that
people are not willing much longer to
submit to their impertinent dictation in
matters which so deeply concern the
interests of society.

The New York Tribune.

AS a general rule radical writers make
it matter Of conscience never to tell
the truth when falsehood will answer
their purpose; but for hard, downright,
baldfaced lying Horace Greelcy's Geor-
gia correspondent is the chief among
ten thousand. The following is the re-
suit of his last effort:
"a desperate attempt was made at
Waynesboro. Burke county, on Sunday
last to murder the Rev. j. G.. Pitman. a
presiding elder of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. lie had preached there
and had induced number of colored
people to renounce their allegiance to
the Methodist Church South, and join
another church. A gang of Ku Klux
planned his death and picketed the road
from his hotel to the depot, but vol
untary guard of colored men accompa-
MED lin to the depot. Upon his arrival
there pistols were pointed at his head,
and death seemed most certain, but the
firm stand taken by the colored people
saved his life. The only charge against
him was that he was Radical"

What Manufacturing Does.

Canton, Ohio, is where all the patent
reapers and mowers are made. When
the inventor went there few years ago,
it was the dullest and least progressive
town in the State, and was retrogading
in wealth and population. He asked
the citizens for $4,000 for n start, and
received that sum as loan. Results
of the investment-a large reaping and
moving mandatory two large agri-
cultural implement and plow manutac-
tories exclusively, one of stoves and
hollow ware, one of reaper and mower
knives, and one of saddlery, hardware,
two of horse-rakes, one of farm wag-
ons, one of cultivators, one of wrought
iron bridges, one one of soap and can
dies, and others more or less extensive.
The town has tripled in population and
quadrupled in wealth, and this helps
the farming interest in the neighbor-
hood. '. -' .-.H

Good Out of Evil.

The New York Tribune thinks after
all some good is coming out of Nor
monism. 1t says:
Mormonism has been doing pioneer
work for us; it has been acting the part
of explorer and surveyor, and that of
sentinel on the territorial outposts. To
European immigration it has pointed
out for twenty years the westward
path; to American trans-continental
commerce it has been the halfway
house. 1t has demonstrated, OH the one
hand, what may be done by energy,
thrift, enthusiasm and cooperative CO.
lonial labor, in most impressive les
son to the whole world; it has furnish
ed the base, as it were, on the other
hand, fornew exreditionary movements
into the wilderness in all directions,
north, south, east and west, by those
who have sought fresh fields and pas
lures new." The downfall of polygamy
is necessity, it being hideous eX-
crescence, whose existence must be
ended; but it is probable that it can be
ended peaceably and promptly, in which
case we shall see plainly how out of an
evil once so menacing some good will
have come.
1t would be interesting to know by
how much the moral condition of the
people of Utah is worse than that of
the people of New York.

Lee and Motley.

In the Baltimore Gazette of recent
date we find the following pithy para.

interview with Gen. Grant Mr.. Motley
was present. The meeting of these two
different characters is suggestive. Mr..
Motley is the historian of the Neither.
lands. He knew how to do justice to q
brave people struggling for their liber-
ties abroad. He could recognize some-
thing to be admired in the wonderful
courage aud conduct of the men who
guided and inspired that great combat
for liberty and justice. But when he
looks upon qualities in his own coun-
try as heroic and disintercsted, upon
valor such as Greece and Rome never
surpassed, and chicttain, who in pub
lie and private virtue and military gem
ius has no living equal, he beholds a
wicked rebellion and the most iniquit-
Gus traitors that the world ever saw.

(From the st. Louis Christian ADVOCATE, 18th.
This important convocation will have
closed its session when our paper is
mailed. All the Bishops were present
except Bishop Early, who was greatly
desirous to meet with his colleagues,
but yielded to the advice of friends and
physicians that it would be hazardous
to undertake so long journey. Bish-
op Andrew, in the midst Of great fee
bleness, was able, however, besides his
official duties, to attend most of the
services of chief interest. The other
Bishops are in good health and buoy
ant with hope and zeal.

White VS.. Black.

A New York contemporary says the
most opprobrious terms that one negro,
when quarrelling, thinks he can employ
against another negro, is "you d
nigger." To call his dark adversary q
"nigger," and supply profane prefix,
is to discharge the deadliest insult the
African mind can conceive. The Hay
tians think.they are insulted by the ap-
pointment of one of their own race to
represent this country in Hayti, and
they are freely expressing their indig-
nation about it. Sambo is very willing
to be puffcd, and patted, and praised by
the whites, but his own estimate of the
black race is "not anything to brag of,
l thank YOU" 'F'.F' ".t'

things, but it is only now and then that

it is you should make note Of it. Such

Caleb Cushing.

We learn through Washington date
that Mr.. Caleb Cushing has presented
his little bill to the government, Of 3d.
500, for his management in the Butler
arrest case in Baltimore; $1,000 for SER
vices and $500 for expenses. 1t will
probably be paid. But what has the
government to do with such cases? But
Ter was arrested rs any other man may
be. 1t is true he was member of Con-
gress, but is a member Of Congress ell
titled to have his law expenses paid out
of the public Treasury?
Mr.. Gushing, by the way, is very
remarkable man. He is now in his 10th
year, yet to all outward appearance not
over 60. He was graduated at Harvard
in 1877, at the head of his class, we be-
lieva and has been close student all
his life. In 1913, 81 years ago, he was
in the House, and was regarded by his
friends as victim of consumption
Yet he bids fair to outlive all his con.
temporaries in public life at that time.

The Facts About Reverdy john

Some important facts have just leak.
cd out in an official form regarding the
return of Minister Revcrdy johnson
from England and the course he has
pursued while there in negotiating the
Alabama claims treaty. Itappears that
it is altogether mistake that President
Grant asked for his immediate return
in March last; on the contrary, on
March 9th Mr.. johnson telegraphed
Secretary Fish that he was ready to ten
der his resignation, to take effect at
such time as the President should desig-
nate. BY direction of the latter, Sccre-
tary Fish replied that his resignation
would be accepted, to take effect when
Mr.. Johnson's successorarrivedi in Lor-
don. The lattcr's formal letter OF re-
signation was at once forwarded, and
in this letter he said that he desired to
call President Grants attention to the
fact that official documents in the State
Department vii, show that he (John-
sony had literally executed the instruc-
tions of that department in negotiating
that treaty, and that the President and
Mr.. Seward had both thanked him for
the success of the negotiation OH the ba-
sis submitted by his Government.
