fuddled with notions of caste, would not
be exhilarated at the prospect Of his son
securing a reputation similar to that Of
these mechanics? And to what does this
thing of caste amount? Weknow avery
aristocratic family in which is eommingl-
ed the blood OF tailor, tallow chandler,
and a dealer in peltry. But they are mons
the worse for their humble beginnings:
In the reconstruction of things among
US, mechanics are very much needed.
We must have all sorts of shops, and all
sorts of workmen. Let the boys ameng us
that have an aptitude for mechanics, be
encouraged to learn some trade. Let
proper attention be showed to them. Let
them not be excluded from society, be-
cause they handle tools. Letreading rooms
and libraries and evening schools be es-
tablished, so that, like Miller and Burrit
and Franklin, they may improve their
minds, and be fitted to occupy high posi-
items at home, as abroad We hope yet
to see the day when South Carolina shall
not be dependent on Yankeedom for axe
helves and broom handles.

A lad, narrating street fight in
which he had been engaged, said: "Pll
tell you how it was. You see, Bill and
me went down to the wharf 10 fish; and
felt in my pocket and found my knife,
and 1t was gone; and said, Bill, you
stole my knife; and he said [ war anoth-
er; and l said go there yourself; and no
said it was ne such thing; and | said he
was a liar, and could whip him if was
him; and he said he'd rock me to
sleep, mother; and l said he was bigger
one; and he said l never had the measles;
said for him to fork over that knife, or
I'd fix him fora tombstone at Laurel Hill;
and he said my grandmother was no gen
tleman; and l said he dursen't take it upi
but he did, you bet; you nevcr-well, you
never did; then | got up again, and he
tried to, but llo didn't; and | grabbed him
and throwcd him down on top of me like
several bricks; and l tell you it beat all

THE NEGRO POSTMASTER AT COLUMBIA.
The Augusta ConStitMionaliSt says:
"We understand that Wilder, the negro
postmaster of Columbia, has finally con-
ccluded that his aspirations have been far
above his abilities, and has actually i'm
portuned Mr. Samuel LeaphearG, who
formerly held the position of chief clerk
in the Office (under Mr. j. c. Janney, sac
ceeded by Wildcr) to relieve him of his
burden, agreeing to accept any part of
the salary of the position which Mr.. Leap.
hart's liberality may see proper to allow
him. Mr.. L., in accordance with the ex-
press wishes of the citizens, had concluded
to accept the proffered offer of Wilder,
when the latter found little hitch in the
transfer, growing out OF the tact that
Governor Scott was one of the endorsers
of his official bond, and it would be nec-
cssary to consult him with regard to the
execution of the man9uvre. The black me-
gro endorscr on Wildcrs bond acquiescos
in tho purpose of his principal to transfer
his office, and there are hopes expressed
that Governor Scott, from little circum-
stance of recent occurrence, in which he
was personally inconyenienced, may yield
his assent TO Wilders abdicaton. IL
seems that the Governor has been in
Charleston for the past week, and found
it essential for his personal or party pur-
noses 10 order IL remittance from the cap

Carolina returned TO the capital to nves-

to shut off his anticipated supply of funds.
He succeeded in finding the check, to his
great cAagrin, because Southern Cover

office. 1t is hoped that tho people OF
Columbia may reap some substantial good
from this reported 'riling Of Governor
Scott, and that the good sense exhibited
by Wilder may be allowed to prevail"

OvERwoRK- was William Pitt,
dead at forty-nine, carrying the British
Empire on his shoulders for quarter of
a century, and attempting to carry a pint
of port wine daily and pinch Of opium
in his stomach, and laundering in mid
ocean from this over cargo. What a
wreck was that when Brinsley Sheridan
went to pieces on the breakers of intem-
perance and overwork? There, too,
was Mirabeau, that prodigy of strength
and health, of versatility and splendid
talent, killed by the overwhelming labozs
and excitements of the tribune and the
Cypran hells. Sergeant S. Prentiss at
tempted the double task and if over
man might with impunlty, he could, with
leonine health and marvellous mental
gifts. Said distinguished Mississippi
lawyer to me, "Prentiss would sit up all
night gambling and drinking, and then go
into court next day and make a botter
plea in all respects than could, or any
body else at the bar Of our State, even
though we studied our case half the night
and slept the rest" He tried it, and in
the trying burned to the socket in forty
one years the lamp Of life that had been
trimmed to last fourscoro. A draft upon
the constitution in behalf of appetite is
Just as much draft as in behalf of work
and if both are habitually preferred TO-
gethor, bankruptcy and ruin are sure and
swift.-Lippincott's Magazine.

THE FAMOUS GAINES MILL CAsE.-The
New Orleans Times relates that twenty
five years ago, when the case of Mrs
Gaines first came up for trial in that city,
her counsel having withdrawn because OF
a difficulty with the judge, General Gaines
himself claimed, as an admitted member
of the bar to represent his wife's inter
ests. Unfortunately, whom he studied
law in Virginia, it was under very dit
ferent system OF Jurisprudence, and he
felt yery much out at sea in the courts of
civil law State. He would, therefore,
ask that the lady defendant, who was
better acquainted with the remarkable
facts of her history than any one else,
should be allowed to address the jury in
her case. The judge stated that the lady
had the right to argue her own case. Then
the General, with that grand old dignity
for which he was so distinguished, lod for
ward Mrs. Gaines, who proceeded to ad-
dress the jury at great length, reading
numerous documents bearing upon her
case. Whilst reading these documents,
the Judge, who was high-spirited man,
intcrferod, and notified her that she could
not be allowed to read documents which
were not ia evidence il the case. The
lady still persisting, the Judge again in
tcrfered, and disagreeable wranglo arose,
in the midst of which Mr.. Gaines charged
the Judge with having an interest against
her. Judge Buchanan retorted with tenn
per, and notified General Gaines that he
was expected to control his wife in court,
where no persons were privileged
Whereupon the stately old General arose
to his full attitude Of six feet three, and
assuming the position of commander Of
grenadiers, and gracefully touching the
bolt belt of his sword, responded: "May
it please your Honor, for everything that
lady shall say or do, 1 hold myself per-
sonally responsible in every manner and
form known to the laws of my country
or the laws of honor" This reply ard
the accompanying action and the appear
ance of the general in his military garb,
aroused to a still higher pitch the Irish
fire of the Judge, who quickly answered:
"Gaines, this court will not be overawed
by military authorities" Crest assured,
your Honor, that when an attempt OF
that sort is made, the sword which 1 wear
in conformity to the regulations of the
service and out of respect to this honor
able court, will be quickly unsheatbed to
defend the rights and dignity of your
Honor and of the civil tribunals of my
country" After these explanations peace
and order were restored.

It is an exquisite and beautiful thing

1t is an exquisite and beautiful thing
in our nature, that when oar heart is
touched and softened by some tranquil
happiness, the memory of the dead comes
over it most powerfully and irresistably.
1t would almost seem as though our bet
ter thoughts and sympathies we're charms
in virtue of which the soul is enabled to
hold some vague and mysterious inter>
course with the spirits of those whom we
dearly loved in life. Alas how often and,
how long may those patient angels hover
above US, watching for the spell which is
so seldom uttered and soon forgotten.

First one hand was raised, then fell ;
then the other; then one OF the limos,
and the body became so convulsed that
the drapery covering it, fell to the moor.
Sue had seen it all in the glass, without
word, her face stony.
As.the pail fell she tottered forward ana
fell over the body.
I uttered shrek after shrek, and soon
the room wss filled with our FRIENDS and
neighbors.
| did not think of Sue, I only said:
"Lilyl Lily! Save her! Save her
She is alive !"
It was long time before the reStora-
tiyes were efectual in arousing her from
her trance. Her father knelt by her,
weeping and praying, Just as we were
giving up in despair, he suddenly uttered
an exclamation Of JOY.
"Lookw !,
Tho eyelids quivercd and opened, and
the sweet mouth smiled. There was
nothing to fear now; and the room echoed
our rejoicing.
aCoine, Sue, and see her." said one of
the girls, going to the sofa on which they
had laid her when she was taken up so
aSue! Suep she cried, in alarm, bend,
ing over her. "What is the matter
Oh, come here and see! Look at her 7,
Alas our neglect of her fainting-ft
had proved fatal.
In her weak, nervous state the start
ling fright had been too much for her,
and had regained one friend but to lose
another, the most beloved l have ever
known.

bus still and this incident is we'll re,

this beautiful Southern town.

CHURCH BELLIES.

Coming in couples,
Smiling SO sweetly,
Up the long aisle
Tripping SO neatly:
Rnvying bonnets,
Envying laces,
NOdding at neighborS,
Peering OF faces,
Whispering softly,
Needing no sermon;
What they go there for
Hard to determine.
On all around them,
Gazing benignly,
Wholly unconsciously,
Singing divinely,
Prosy discoursing,
Don't suit their whims
Plain they assemble
Just for the "hims."

Manly SENT1MENTs.-The New York
Herald but expresses the sentiments Of
al, save the extreme (torch and turpeh-
tine) Radicals, when. in reference to the
mean and very doubtful conduct of certain
parties at Washington in preventing the
decoration of Confederate graves, it asks:
SIS it possible that we cannot see how
to be patriots without being brutes? Is
it possible that our respect for great
cause requires us to exercise a mean su.
pervision over the actions and thoughts
of those whose sorrows differ from ours
in their direction? Is this horrible tyran-
ny of majority to go into the sacred do
main of the grave, too, and shall NO one
be grieved over, if he happened to be
wrong? Shame On the zeal that pursues
a quarrel beyond the grave. In the Uni.
ted States of America freedom has been
much cramped for some time, but we have
always desired to believe that it was only
necessarily so. Permit us, men in author
ity, to believe that there is still freedom
for woman to 60 to the grave Of her son
or her lover and cast upon it token of
remembrance. If there is not what bet
ter are you than the brutal despots that
made Austria byword among nationss

MARK TwA1N's ExpER1ENoE-Mark
Twain writes as follows from Vicksburg,
At dinner yesterday [ helped myself to
piece of pumpkin pie. The gentleman
who had been SO obliging to amuse me at
an expense of SIS, observing me eat the
pie, rose from tho table with heavy
frown on his face. When had finished
my dinner and walked forward to the So
cial hall, he approached with drawn
Bowie-knife and sternly demanded of me
where l was from. I told him, after
slight hesitation, that was born in Albe.
marie county, Va, and that I was a
nephew of Colonel -. He then saidt
aIf that is the case, sir, you may con-
tinue to live; but, sir, thought you must
be id Yankee from the way you ate
that pumpkin pie, and in that cuse I
should have regarded it as duty to cut
your throatp

regard he manifested for the place of my
birth and my family connections. He
then asked me if took part in the rebel
lion. said yes He inquired on which
side. replied on both /; that I was visit
ing relative OF mine by the name of
John M. Bolts at the time the war broke
out, and that remained there until the
war closed. He seemed satisfied with my
answer, and asked me to introduce him
to Gen. Blair.
He told the General that he was the
first man hc ever voted for that he had
fought against; that the South could never
have been conquered if he, Col. Jay Haw.

port Of these babtants Of the garden into good

gives them, as it does human adventures, con-
siderable assistance in taking desirable posi-
tions. But being Of the most republican faith.
i. e., that the good Of the masses should ever
be the paramount consideration with the good
citizen, place onions at the very top Of tho
list of large families edibles. These bulbs aro
not only popular, healthy and nutritive, but
absolutely medicinal. have known invctcr-
ate dyspepsia cured by the use Of raw onions
as daily tonic, and on philosophical princi-
pies. They have the same exciting influence
on the coats Of the stomach that they have Oh
the eyes, calling out gastric juice as freely as
they do tears from the visual organs. For
poultices they are invaluable.
