they open up many markets, aud rruit

not think much fruit would be sent

apples are OF such superior quality
that they would bring the highest

We should raise good fruit. Some

Deacon B. a very piOus man, was
noted for his long prayers, especially
In his family. One Monday morning
the old gentleman and his wife were
alone, and, as was his custom, after
breakfast a prayer was offered. There
being an unusual amount of work
that day, the Deaeon's prayer was
short, and seeing his hat and milk
pail, he started for the barn. His
wife, being deaf, did not notice his
absence, but supposed him to be still
engaged in prayer. On his return
from milking, he was surprised to
find her still kneeling. lie stepped
up to her and shouted amen" when
she Immediately arose and went
about her work as If nothing had

An ITEM FOR DIsPEPTIC SUFFER-
ERs.-The kernel Of the peach pit has
proved, in my case, a perfect remedy
for what is termed "heart burn" I
suffered from it hourly for years nor
at some times than others. Seeing
this remedy recommended in some
journal, two or three years ago, I
often since purpOsed to try it, but did
not, until this winter. When the
suffering manifests Itself, eat one or
two of the kernels, and after a few
days the symptoms will disappear.
The remedy is simple, cheap and
harmless, and, best Of all, efectudI.

Mr.. EDITOR: At an early hour on Fri.

enlivened by carriages and vehicles Of
every description, filled with 'ladies fair
and bright" on their way to the Char

from Graniteville, and members of the
fraternity from Augusta, Hamburg, and
other places on the other end of the rail-
road. An elegant platform, for dancing
had been erected by member of the
COMMITTEE of Arrangements, who left
Columbia for that purpose on Wednes-
doy evening, nicely shaded by branches
OF trees, with convenient stand for the

engaged, and all went "merry as q mar

also established in the depot, and COM
fartable seats were provided in the shade
of the grove, for those who wished to
enjoy the dolce far niente.
In tho meantime, vigorous prepara-

TERRIBLE Explosion OF Nitro -GLY-
CEuNE.-An explosion of nitro -glycerine
took place in Worcester, on the 23d,
killing Timothy Cronam and injuring
thirty other persons, mono of them dan
gerously, however. Twelve houses were
demolished, and many others badly shat
tered. The shock was felt NIL over tho
city. Bells were rung and crookery and
furniture broken half mile distant
The nitro-glycerine had been smuggled
into O car, and was intended for the
Hoosac Tunnel. The scene of the dis
aster has been visited by over $4,000
people. It is most astonishing that but
one life was lost and 80 few seriously in
jured. The man killed was walking on
the track at the time of the explosion.
The nitro -glycerine was in the last car OF
freight train. Three cars wero demo-
lishod. The railroad officers here and
also in Boston and Springfield, have
visited the scene, and are anxious that
everything possible shall be done for tho
sufferers. Heavy bars of iron were
thrown nearly q quarter of mile, and
the shock wus distinctly felt at points
twenty miles distant. The damage is
estimated ut S15O,000.

There seems to be some trouble in the
Republican" camp in Charleston. The
Republican organ cracks its party lash
over the heads of Messrs. DeLarge and
Delaney. It tells them the cry of
''black mans Government" is as bad as
that of white mans Government. The
organ, we presume, would rather have
it, ''This is the Government of Messrs.
Scott-& Co." The "ring worms" are in
danger. DeLarge, "a brown man," as
the Republican calls him. said:

fessed equal right and privileges to all,
and as long as they do as they profess, I
stay with them. We joined this party,
and we ore thankful because they gave

thing to offend them. but some impu-
dent sconndrels in the party now say
You want too much; you want every

change this thing little, and let them

BILE they should do so. When colored

AFFAIRS IN LEXINGTON.--A friend

ton, June 81:
EDITOR PHOENIX: During tho past week
we have had the usual dull monotony
of this village very pleasantly varied.
On Thursday last, Mr.. Edward Dreher
had public examination of his pupils,
which was decided success. His school
numbers about thirty-fve or forty, and
embraced children of both sexes, from
about seven to sixteen. His course of
instruction included the usual English
branches; few Latin scholars and one
Greek. lie examined them in the pre-
scnce Of parents aud friends. They ac-
quilted themselves credtably to them
selves and their teacher. The examina-
ton WIS succeeded by speaking and dia-
logues. Mr.. Drchcr, ut the close, de-
livered an address to the citizens, pa
rents and pupils; an address full of sound
views of our present condition, and re-
pleto with excellent advice to parent and
child. The cause of education has, III
Mr.. Drcher, an earnest and successful
worker. The whole was enlivened by
the delightful strains of Jim Migrants
string band. After the conclusion, visi-
tors, parents and pupils adjourned to the
shady grove in the rear of the Court
House, where the ladies had prepared n
picnic dinner. consisting of substantials
and goodies. This ropast had every
thing calculated to excite and appease
the palate of the most fastidious. After
this, under the auspices OF Jim NIayrant
and his band, the young people "trippod

mainder Of the afternoon.

about fifty Masons. After the exercises,

full. The ladies of Lexington seem to

Tho Matter OF Immigratio Coming

Tho Matter Of fImnnigration-The Coming
Agricultural and Mechanical Society.
With an eye single to the best inte-
rests of South Caroline, we desire to call
attention to heimportant and solid mat
ters connected with the subjects that
compose the heading of this article. No
political heat, however essential to good
government in this State, should turn
the attention of our people from the
lines Of material activity. Political suo-
cess cannot originate-cannot make
POWER This must come from numbers
aud productions and manufactures.
From our soil, from our ores, from our
workshops, from increased intelligent,
skillful and efficient labor, most flow the
healthy streams of strength in South
Carolina. In these fields, the body poll
ito must get its bone and sinews, its flesh
and blood. Let US hear, then, from
Charleston, the headquarters OF the
scheme OF immigration, born of the late
Industrial Convention. There were
many men in that body, who went into
that convention because they were tho
roughly in earnest. They meant busi-
ness. We would be pleased to learn how
far the orders OF the convention have
been carried out. We want the schemes
set on foot put into execution. Indus
trially, let us move steadily on, and not
grow weary in well-doing. The Charles
ton Industrial Convention planned we'll.
Let it not be made reproach, that it
planned far better than it executed. Nor
lot our people forget the Agricultural
and Mechanical Fair, to be held next
November, in Columbia. This should
be made great SUCCESS. Let our coun-
trymen and countrywomen, let our city,
town and village folk, let our farmers
and mechanics, let all trades and every
business prepare to be represented in
this grand industrial gathering. Let the
next fair show that our State appreciates
the spirit of the century. This century
spells ,Dork with capital ~, and mag
nifies material activity and scientific
progress. We, therefore, repeat the
suggestion: Let rs not forgot the impor-
tance of immigration, of our fair, our
factories, our farms, our railroads. We
have too hands, and we must use both.
With one, lets our people uplift the flag
of5a reformasory movement. With the
other, let us keep flying the banner OF
our material and solid activities.
