A Graceful Compliment TO A
WIFE.-The following neat and beau
tiful reply was made by the lato
Daniel OCOnnell, in response. to q
toast given in compliment to his wife.
whO'was the object of his long and
aftectionate attachment. Itwas given
at political meeting. The English
language can furnish nothing nnOFe
tOuchingly tender and graceful :: t..r.
There are some topics Of so sacred
and sweet a nature, that they may be
comPrehended by those who are han
py, but they cannot possibly be de-
scribed by any human. All that I
shall do is to thank you in the name
other who was the disinterested choice
of my early youth who was the ever
cheerful companion Of my manly
years; and who is the sweetest sOlaee -
of that 'sere and yellow leaf age, at
which have arrived. In hername i
thank you; and this you may readily
believe for experience I think will
show to us all that man can not battle
and struggle with malignant enemies, I
unless his nest at nome, is warm and
eOmfOrtable-unless the honey ofhu-
man life is commended by a hand that
he lOves.p

Then he died rich was the en-

say? No, my friend, it was a taium-

The young men Of our country
will fiHu ~ the biography of the late
General John u. Wool many acts
worthy of imitation, but none more
so than his economical habit and his
determination through life to secure
pecuniaTy independence for his, de-
clining years. At the close of the
war of 1872, General Wool was taken
to be treated for terrible wounds re-
ceived in battle. When he was con-
valescent he had to pay a surgeons
bill which left him almost without q
dollar. As soon as he was well
enough the Government sent him on
q military mission to the West,
where he remained five years, and
never drew his pay in full, but took
enough only to defray actual eXDen-
ses. At the close Of his appointment
the United States owed him SD 900.
This" said General Wool, just be-
fore he died, was the only money il
ever made in the whole course of my
life! But I always kept that out in
safe inYes tment at good interest. In
fifty years this $4,000 has grown to
500, ,OO0 W Here, then, was the Sc
cret Of his great wealth, which not
only astOnished his friends but the
hundreds of military men who served
with him, and who had superior Op-
pOrtunities for making money. If
any of our young readers can put
away ST 900 now they will find them
selves rich when old and feeble, even
if they add nothing to the nucleus
after the first investment. s-. -...H

AnecdOie Of Jenny Lind.

L remember hearing astage-driver's
story Of Jenny Lind, when she was
ridingin the country:
A bird-ofbriliiant plumage was
perched on tree as they drove slow
ly along, and trilled out such a COM
plicatiOn of sweet notes as to perfect
" astOnish her. The coach stopped,
and reaching out she gave one of her
finest rOulades. The beautiful crea-
ture arched his head on one side, and
listened deferentially then as if to
excel his famous rival raised his grace
full throat, and sang song of ripping
melody that made Jenny rapturOusly
clap her hands, and caused her heart
to beat as quickly as though she were
before severely critical audience in
Castle Garden, and she delivered some
TyrOlean mountain strains that set
the echoes flying. WhereupOn Little
Birdie took it up and sang and trilled,
till Jenny, in happy delight, acknOwl-
edged that the pretty woodland
warbler decidedly OutcarOled the
great Swedish Nightingale.

DARLING DO you LOVE n1ns

In the sweet aeOIian harp,
Strung with willows in the dell,
In Enchanting of the waves,
In the murmur of the shell,
In each one her voice now echoes,
From the shining angel shore,
Asking, Darling, do you love me?
Do you love me as Of yore?
In the shining Of the stars,
In the soft moons silV'ry beams,
In the pictures bright that come
In my purest, sweetest dreams,
In each one her eyes are shining,
From the distant angel shore,
Asking, Darling, do you love me?
Do you love me as Of yOre?'
In the carol of the birds,
In the music of the sea,
In the chorus of the winds,
In the billows wild and free,
In each one her song Is thrilling,
From the shining angel shore,
Asking, Darling, do you love me?
DO you love me as Of yore?"

Waited on where purest love

Through the dark and silent cave.

On the shining angel shore,
Tell my darling, yes love her,
Dearly love her as of yOre.

The Paid Liars of the Ring.

The filthy mouthpiece OF the Scott Ring
having asserted that THE CHARLESTON News
s'received bribe to cease its denunciations
''of the Phosphate BILL" we branded the ac-
cusatioh as false, and detied our accuser to
show that its slanderous statement had even
shadow OF foundation. This, the organ OF
the Ring makes no attempt to do. 1t does
reiterate its foul calumny; it does invite
The News to seek legal redress; it confesses
that its own integrity was held so lightly
that a bribe was offered to influence its
course upon the very bill in question. But
it does not give a particle OF evidence, good,
bad or Indifferent, in support OF its shameful
allegation against this paper.
THE CHARLESTON News is thus vindicated
from the charge brought against it; while
the Paid Liars OF the Scott Ring stand be
fore the public as self-convicted slanderels,
as the authors and publishers OF statement
which they know to be wholly and malicious

The New Orleans papers are excited over
the appearance in the woods Of wild negro,
an insane Fifteenth amendment, whose ward
robe is as scanty as that OF Adam before the
fall, or any colored brother who roams the
forests or fields of Congo or Dahomey at TINS
day, from the monarch downward. When
first seen, he was observed by white man
near Magnolia, seated upon fallen tree, eat
inc pine cones On being approached he
ceased to eat, threw himself on all fours, and
began scratching up the earth like terrier on
the scent of rat or other vermin, until ne
managed to get out OF sight. When next seen,
it was eight miles below, near the railroad sta
ton at Chatawa Every effort to get him to
talk 10 any one. even OF his own color, failed,
and on being approached be fled away rapidly,
until he was seen no more. He manifcsts no
savage or brutal qualities, but seems 10 enter
tain an absolute dread OF intercourse with
human beings. He appeared to be about
twenty-five years of age, well built and healthy.
His finger nails have grown to an enormous
length, resembling the claw If some wild fe-
line animal. 1t is believed that he was origi-
nally runaway. and that he has for years
lived in the woods and swamps, and is not
aware Of the emancipation OF his race.

he has won honor and reputation. Judge
Carpenter is no more ''carpet-bagger" than
the editor of the Democrat is, unless every
man is to be dubbed ''carpet-bagger" who
is born beyond the South Carolina line. And
we may add that, '.carpet-bagger" or not,
it has been blessed thing for this judicial
circuit to have upon the bench man whose
impartiality was as great as his energy in
dispatching business, and whose purity is as
unimpeachable as his critical acumen and
his legal ability.
One other reason is given by the Demo-
cras why the work of the Convention twill
produce confusion and disaster" Our con-
temporary asks why no ''other nominations
'were made" and whether sit is the idea
''of the Convention to fill Only the offices Of
Governor and Lieutenant-Jovernor with
''honest and competent mea, and leave the
"others to take care of themselves ?" The
Democrat surely does no. mean that the
Convention ought to have nominated mem
bers OF the Legislature and county officers,
and yet it can hardly be ignorant Of the fact
that no other State officers than Governor and
Lieutenant Governor are to be elected next
October.
We hope that the Democrat will ponder
the whole question, and that it may agree
with us at last that the Reform movement,
ifnot all that could be desired, is the best
plan that can be adopted; that it involves no
sacrifice of principle, and that it is the only
plan which gives any hope Of relieving the
State from a foul burden Of infamy;' oppres-
sion and wrong.

We Mean to Have Fair Piay

The Lancaster Ledger hears that at the
recent election colored men were registered
by the managers who had not been residents
of the State for six months. This can be
proved by reference to the registration
books. The Ledger then says:
''If the Scott dynasty expects to carry the
elections in this county this fall by such IN
principled measures, we tell them now, In
time, that they can't do it. Their opponents
ask for nothing more than fair ballot. THIS
they ,oin haze. They ask that the election
laws of the State mag be fairly administered.
We ask for nothing more; we will be satisfied
with nothing less.'
This is the way to talk. The Reform party
must be ready to take up arms, if necessary,
in defence of Free Speech, Free Schools, and
FREE BALLOT.
