All these reproachcs were moistened
with tears. Finally, Mr.. Halle was al

How, why or wherefore he did not know
She declined to believe him, and called
upon her maid to bear witness that her
husband had said hc was going to see
friend on business. The maid did so. Mr.
Halle protested his Innocence, and was
finally believed. Tho next day he was
able to find ont, by inquiring at the Ari

yond that he could find out nothing, and
tho whole matter was mystery to hini
But for one little incident it would probai

The Incident was this: On his way to-

happened to notice pretty chain in the
window and entered the store to inquire
the price. While the pawnbroker WINS
getting it from the window he saw his
lost watch in the case ON the counter. He
asked who had brought it there, and the
pawnbreker described the maid.
Mr. Halle cohld rot even imagine how
the maid had got it, but determined TO
have her arrested at once. He never had
liked her, believing that she exerted a bad
influence on his wife: She was immedis

The New York Herald, commenting

= The New York Herald, commenting
on the action OF IL few sensible Northern
capitalists, says that Rhode Island is a
small State, but she produces men with
sound heads, stout hearts aud long purses.
Senator Sprague, Of that State, has just
purchased an immense water power canal
in Columbia, s. c., on which he will soon
commence large cotton mill. a South
ern exchange states that, besides this en-.
terprisc of Mr. Sprague, there arc several
other large cotton factories being built in
South Carolina, several in Georgia, three
or four in Alabama, as many in MississIp-
pi. and even Florida and Texas arc NOV
ING in the same direction. If the South
keeps on progressing in this rapid way
the whole manufacturing system Of the
country con will eventually be revolu!ionzed, \!
and New England, as she once did, favor
free trade, and the South demand a pro.
tective tariff

more equally distributing national circu-
lation. Edmunds introduced q bill modi-
flying the the tenure OF office act; also, a
bill enforcing the fourteenth amendment
to aid in restoring republican government
to Georgia. Ferry introduced resolu.
ton regarding the removal of political
disabilities. Sawyer offered u Joint reso-
luton providing for a joint committee of
three Senators and five Congressman to
consider applications for the removal Of
political disabilities. Williams gave no.
tice Of an amendment TO the tenure of Of
flee bill, suspcnding its operations until
1873. After Executive session, adjourned.
In the House, several members were
sworn in. The credentials Of the Louisi-
ana members were referred to the Elec-
ton Committee, with instructions to re-
port whether the informality of their
credentials was fatal. This report, if IA
verable, will seat the Louisiana members
Efforts to have the committee consider all
questions regarding the Louisiana ELECTION
failed by 4 large vote. The newly elected
kcntucky members were sworn in. The
announcement Of the cabinet created such
confusion, that recess was declared. The

TUE UNIVERSITY OF South CAROLINA.
We learn from the Columbia corrcspon-
deuce of the Charleston Daily Neps, ofthc
18th ult., that the University bill will now
become law The House refused to con-
cur in the amendment Of the Senate to
have the Board of Trustees appointed by
the Governor, instead of being elected by
the General Assembly, as agreed upon in
the House. Senator Nash, in favoring
the motion, said a great deal Of feeling
had been created against the Governor
on account of his appointments, and nc
therefore desired 10 rid his Exccllency of
the heavy responsibility of appointingdi-
rec'ors of the University. lie now con-
sidcred it University of the people. The
bill provides there shall be no distinction
on account of color, and he wanted men
on that board whose nerves would not DO
shocked at the idea of admitting color
ed student into the University.
The attempt to forcc the youth of the
two races together in our educational in
stieutions cannot result in anything but
the most signal failure. The University OF
South Carolina can never become school
for both white and colored. 1t must be
one or the other. If the Legislature per.
slst, and colorcd youths are sent there and
received it will become cntirel y an insti-
tuition for the colored man, and we doubt
not, in such an event, the opportunity
will be voluntarily afforded to tllup anew
tho entire professorship and management
OF it, This action of the Legislature, in
its persistent stupidity has astonished us
We do not believe that the intelligent col
ored, people claim or desire any such a
condition of affairs at the University. 1t
is proper that the State should make pro
vision, as far rs it's means will allow, for
the education of colorcd youths, and the
white people of tho country, who pay the
great mass of the taxes, will not object to
such provision, in moderation, but the
attempt TO force amalgamation in our
schools and colleges is simply tho spas
modic throcs of an expiring radicalism.-

Mrs. GRANr-Thc Washington cores
pondent of Western journal has this 10
say of Mrs Con. Grant:
"Few women ever bore the perlous
test of sudden fame and fortune with a
more hearty happiness or more unassnm-
ing grace. Is she pretty? No. She is a
roly poly of little woman, with beauti-
full neck, hands and feet Her features
are well cut, her eyes are crossed. Some
of her friends wished her to have them
Strengthened. "No," she said, "Mr. Grant
had loved her ever since she was little
girl with her eyes crossed. Ho had said
that she would not be herself to him il
thoy were straight. Crooked they should
remain Ifhe was satisfied, what mattcrc'l
it to other people ?"

Rheumatic Fever

1t Is a little startling to note the ply
sicians and surgeons of London divided
into two bodies as to the treatment of so
serious a complaint as rheumatic fever.
Twice bias the subject been debated by
the Royal Medical and Chirurgical So
ciety, and the real question at issue was
whether, on the whole, to treat this
dangerous and painful disease, or to
leave it alone The ~euphemistic ex-
preston for the latter course is to " give
mint water" The work which seems
most successful is that of the nurse,
rather than that of the doctor. At one
of the principal London hospitals the
chief points are I. Absolute rest in
bed, insured by swathing the legs and
arms in cotton wool, and by supporting
the feet by pillows, so as to relieve the
ligaments from their weight. 2. The
removal of the pressure of the bed
clothes by a cradle. 3. The removal of
local pain by smearing the affected joints
with belladonna liniment, sometimes
strengthened by rubbing down the ex-
tract in it. The LaRcet is shocked by
this simplicity, but suggests nothing in
its stead.

A Queer Hymn Book.

A good joke is told of a preacher in
Nebraska, who had dined with a friend
just before afternoon services. As it
happened this friend occasionally luxuri-
ated in a smile of the ardent, and some
times carried a morocco-coyered flask
in his overcoat pocket. By mistake the
minister took the friends overeoat for
his own on his departure, and walking
into the pulpit, began the exercises
without dofing the garment, it being
rather chilly in the room. Looking
very ministerially over his congregation
from behind his spectacles, he began
drawing from his pocket, as he supposed,
his bymn-book, with the Introductory
remark that the congregation would sing
from a particular page which had been
selected beforehand. The minister had
the supposed book up in full view Of his
congregation, and attempted to open it
sideways, but it was no 90. The situa-
ton was realized in a moment, but, alas
too late. His, reverence was dunn
founded, the audience giggled, and the
whole scene was made ludicrous by a
fellow in the back part of the congrega
ton, not altogether too sober, who
drawls out Say, mister, kin we all
(hic) jine in that'ar hymn"

The Town of Assist.

Near the town of Assist, in Italy, is a
ravine where st. Francis is said to have
passed a life of Standardization. The
hermit foretold that, whenever misfor-
tune was about to befall Italy, the
mountain torrent, which ordinarily flows
through other outlets, would pour down
the ravine in question and popular ira
dition AYERS that his foreboding has al
ways been ratified by the event. On
the Both of January, Victor Emmanuel
set foot on the soil of the territories of
which he has despoiled the Holy See
forthwith the water began to flow
through the sacred %ravine, and down to
the latest adviees it was flowing still.
The inference is obvious.

A DISGUSTED DARKEY.

An industrious aud economical darkey
living in Western P~ennsylvaria, after
accommodating a house and lot. thought
his next purchase should be IN the way
of live stock, and so bought a sheep Of
the male persuasion. His favorite
amusement, during leisure hours, was to
get down oil the grass and nod defiance
at the animal, which would make savage
plunges at the apparent enemy. But as
the savage creature came near, the darkev
would drop his face to the ground, so
that the sheep, missing the mark would
tumble over and over. One day the
darkey called a couple of passing neigh
bors to see the fun, and he began his
part of the little farce, as usual. The
sheep Gid not see him at first, but pres
emily raised its head from the grass, on
which it was grazing, and frowned upon
him.
90, jis watch him now" said Sambo,
In great glee.
Old Bucky made a rush, as was his
wont, and Sambo suddenly dropped his
face to the ground. But, as the fends
would have it, his fat nose came in
contact with a sharp snag he hadn't OBJ
served before, and he jerked back his
head in time to receive the full shock of
the sleeps head between his own nose
and wool.
There was such a rolling and tumb-
ling over and over for the next quarter
of a minute that the neighbors could
not tell which was the sheep or which
was the darkey. They soon got separ-
ated, and Mr.. Darkey got slowly up,
grinned foolishly and said
Pun my word, he nebber dun dat
afOre. Gittin too smart for dis niger.
Use agwine to stop fOolln' with such a
fellah as dat"
There was plenty of mutton in
the neighborhoOd next day, but the
sheep was never seen again.
