How MONKEYS ARE CAUaHT.-From
the chapter of mcnageries. in Oliver
Logan's "Before the Foot Lights and
Behind the Scenes" we make tho fol.
lowing extract:
Monkeys are such cunning creatures.
one would suppose them moro difficult
to catch than other wilds animals.
Pitfalls will take lion, and the fa-
mished monarch of the forest will, after
q few days starvation, dart into cage
containing food, and thus be secured.
But how are monkeys caught? The ape
family resembles man. Their vices are
human. They love liquor and fall. In
Durfour and Sanaar, the natives, make
fermented beer, of which monkeys are
passionately fond. Aware of this, the
natives 60 to the parts of the forests
frequented by the monkeys, and set on
the ground calabashes full of the entic-
ing liquor. AS soon as the monkey sees
and tastes it, hg utters loud cries of
Joy, that soon attract his comrades.
Then an orgie begins, and in short
time the beasts show all degrees Of in
toxication. Then the negroes appear.
They are too far gone to distrust them,
but apparently take them for larger
species of their own genus. The ne
groes take somo up, and then begin
Immediately to weep and cover them
with kisses. When negro takes one by
the hand to lead him OIL, the nearest mon-
key will cling to the one who thus finds
support, and endcavor to go off also.
Another will grasp at him, and so on,
till the negro leads staggering limo of
ten or dozen tipsey monkeys When
finally brought to tho village, they are
securely Gagged, and gradually sobered
down; but for two or three days, n gra-
dually diminishing supply Of liquor
is given them, so as to reconcile them by
degrees to their state Of captivity.

Gov. ScoTT's REPRESENTATIONS IN
WASHINGTON. oN.-The Charleston Ne,rs
contains the. following:
WASHINGTON, October &c. To-day, q
delegation sent by Gov. Scott, consisting
of State Treasurer Parker and State Au-
ditor Tomlinson, had on interview with
the President.
The President, after listening to the
accounts given by Messrs. Parker and
Tomlinson of the disturbance at Lau-
rens, replied that be had already notified
Gov. Scott, by telegraph, that he should
have all the troops he wanted for South
Carolina.
Senator T. J. Robertson, who was also
sent on by Gov. Scott, urges that more
troops be furnished, and charges that
the troubles arose from the attempts of
the Reformers to destroy the ballot
boxes.

DoN'r HURRY.-Belicve in travelling
on step by step; don't expect to be rich
in jump. Slow and sure is better than
fast and fimsy. Perseverance, by it's
daily gains, enriches n man far more
than fits and starts of fortunate specula-
tons. Little fishes are sweet. Every
day thread makes a skein in year.
Brick by brick houses are built. We
should creep before we walk, walk be-
fore we run, and run before wo ride. In
getting rich, the more haste the worse
speed. Haste trips up its own heels.
Don't give up small business till you
see that large one will pay you better.
Even crumbs nre bread Better little
furniture than an empty house. In these
hard times, he who can sit on q stone
and feed himself had better not move.
From bad to worse is poor improvement.
crust is hard fare, bnt mono at all is
harder. Don't jump out of the frying
pan into the fire. Remember, many men
have done well in very small shops. A
little trade with profit is better than n
great concern Mt loss; small fire that
warns you is better than n large fire that
burns you. A great deal of water can be
got from small pipe, if the bucket is
always there to catch it. Large hares
may be caught in small woods. A sheep
may get fat in n small meadow, and
starve in great desert. He who under
takes too much succeeds but little

A THEATRICAL INcIDENr.-The New
Orleans Picayune says: A countryman at
the theatre, the other night, as the es-
cort Of some ladies, retired at an inter
mission, and returned with q pound or
two of peanuts wrapped in paper, and
two hugo bananas sticking from his
pocket. Just then. however, and before
he had time to take his seat, one of the
actresses, who had especially won his
admiration, came TO tho foot-lights and
warbled beautiful melody. The full,
rich voice, exquisite i'll intonation and
breathing strains almost divine, COM
pleted the conquest Of the countryman's 8
heart, and, unable to restrain his de-
light, he heaved on tho stage his pea
nuts, bananas and pockethandkerchief
as tribute to the fair enchantress.
There was q momentary astonishment
visible upon the faces on the stage, a
single interval of hesitation, which was
removed by tho countryman's voice, full
and clear, "Take 'em, gal, by lingo;
you're welcomeH

The EleotiSasea "Wednesday.

The most infamous fraud avaf neeps, ,
tFated ona people was enacted ia. this
County Gh "Wednesday. 81 The iniauitous
election Aet sof the radical party, CON-
ceived for fraud, was carried out to the
letter. The Kershaw and Ransier agree
nent was refused by the Commiasio oners
and Managers. It will require the off,
oial count to give the result. At least
800 fraudulent negro votes were cast at
the four precincts in this village. One
hundred fraudulent radical negro votes
were polled ut Clinton. More than /, 900
fraudulent votes were polled by the
radicals.
On Tuesday night the negroes from all
parts of the County massed in this place.
The radical Managers paid little regard
to challenges. At least 200 boys under
age, from sixteen and upwards, were al
lowed to VOTE Many cast their votes at
all of the four precincts in the village,
and afterwards voted at the County pre-
cincts. Many voted in the County and
afterwards at oil of the village precints.
The white vote is solidly for the Union
Reform ticket. The negro radical vote
will aggregate in excess of their nume-
rical strength, while many voted for Re-
form, and hundreds were not at the polls
1t is estimated that about 2,400 or $500
votes were polled at this place; at Clin-
ton 1000. At Cross Hill, Hamilton's 8,
Lyons and Scufaetown, probably 1000
to I, 500 ballots were cast largely for Re-
form. Thus the entire County vote will
be between 4,500 and 5000. Deducting
the fraudulent votes, the Reform party
have won by handsome majority.
Joe Crews, candidate for the House,
is commissioner of election. Powell,
the radical candidate for Judge of Pro-
bate, acted as q manager at this place.
Other managers we're candidates. Only
three of the managers, Davenport,
Abercrombie and Pool, are recognized as
Reformers.
To the native scoundrels (Crews and
Owens) who were commissioners, and
not SO much to the carpet-baggers, is at
tributable this Infamous rascality.
About IL NJ, during the election at
the precinct where Powell acted as q
manager, upon some yelling in tho
streets, Powell bolted, and was seen no
more during the day. The remaining
managers closed the poll and it was not
opened again as required by law.
During the day large body of ne
groes repaired to Crews house, where
the militia arms are Stationed and took
up arms. This was done under Crews
orders, it is said. Under the circum-
stances the whites exhibited extraordi-
nary forbearance.
We have to say that our people have
acted nobly and have done their duty in
this great emergency.

SUICIDE. Eve are panied to announce
the death, from suicide, of Mr.. It. J.
Wcscott, student of tho Theological
Seminary in this city. On Thursday
lase. in his room in the Seminary board
ing house, between 5 aud o'clock, in o
fit Of mental alteration, he cut his
throat with razor. Mr.. Wescott was
known to be subject to attacks of gloom
mess, and his most intimate associates
have, for some months past, feared that
his mind was at times seriously affected
by them. Disordered health, acting
upon his peculiar temperament, was,
doubtless the cause of these attacks
This affective event was g great shock
to the fellow students of Mr.. Wescott-
to his instructors and to this community.
His attendance here for several years
had made him known as most diligent
and successful student and pious chris
tian. His occasional preaching and leo
lures exhibited fine talents, and gave
uncommon promise of future usefulness.
Mr.. Wescott was from Smithviilc, not far
from Wilmington, N. c., aud was about
27 years old. His funeral was preached
by DR.. Manly, who ovinced the deepest
emotion. His remains were forwarded
to his family according to their request,
that they may rest with his kindred dust.

A correspondent of the Independent
travelling in Sweden, was immensely de-
lighted with the coffee served on the
steamboats, and in the hotels. "At
Upsala," he writes, ''we determined to
find out how they made such perfect
coffee as we had just drunk and stepped
into the neat kitchen of the little hotel;
and this was the report: Take any kind
of coffee-pot or urn, and suspend bag
made of felt or very heavy flannel, so
long that it reaches the bottom, bound
on wire just fitting the top; put in the
fresh ground. pure coffee and pour on
freshly-boiled water. The fluid filters
through the bag, and may he used at
once; needs no settling and retains oil its
aroma. The advantage of this over the
ordinary filter is its economy, as the
coffee stands and soaks out its strength
instead OF merely letting the water pass
through it. "Do You boil it," inquired
the learner. "Na-a-a-ay," said the maid
in simple astonishment that any one
should be so wasteful as to send the pre-
cious aroma away in steam; should rob
that prince Of food of that evnncscent
something which constitutes his nobility
and rduce him to mere aliment. AS soon
would one think of throwing away that
drop of sunshine. charged with all the
summers gold, which lies ut the throat
OF bottle of Johannisberger.
