Since our Sumter namesake, emulous Of
the fame of the Spartan three hundred, pro-
poses to perish pertinaciously at its Demo-
cratic Thermopyle, it might perhaps remem-
Der with advantage the three main points in
the education Of the Spartan youth, the last

Equality has never been advocated by
The CHARLESTON News, either as bait or
otherwise; and the imputation of the Sum-

mistakably of knavery or stupidity.

1t is due to this gentleman to state that
he did not desire to be candidate for Con
gress at this time. We have long since
known, and have more recently been in
formed, that he Lad no desire to become a
candidate for the position he now SO homo
rably and efficiently fills. Indeed he only
became candidate before, in compliance
with tina: peculiar combination of circum-
stances which caused such an unanimous
and pressing call upon him that placed him
in the present Congress. He greatly prefer
red, then as now, to be permitted to retire to
private life, where he could attend to his va
ried business avocations. In going to Con-
gress at all, it is a great and a noble sacri-
flee to principle on his part, losing thereby,
as he was, far more, by inattention to busi-
ness, than all his salary.
No man in the district, we are assured,
endorses more heartily the nomination which
has been made, than Mr. L., and none will
give to that nomination freer and more
ready support. This, alone, demonstrates
his patriotic devotion to principle.
In Mr. Lash, the people have had true,
an able, and devoted representative, with
whom, we can justly say, they are ''well
pleased" And when his term shall have
expired he can certainly letire with Their
blessing of 'well done, good and faithful
servant. ."-Sdlem AdcOcute.

who howls, the true wooer she who weeps---
not occasionally but everlasting. "A humid
eye is always interesting.n @ & 5H
Is this the wild idealism of a young man
who regards women as the denizens of
another sphere No, it is the deliberate
dictum of a middle-aged man. who should
have found out by this time that the other
sex are not all ethereal. not all sentiment. but
have certain practical duties in life with
which a perpetually humid eye would be apt
to interfere. Tears over the breakfast table
would seem depressing to the English mind
ANY hysterical fit when the dressmaker sends
in her bill, or when the. green grocer calls
for orders, would be apt to discompose the
Briton. But the Frenchman loves it. "The
tear is what she triumpls in."
"For twentry actresses" adds Dumas, awho
can draw tears, there Is hardly one who can
excite to laughter. The laughter of an &C.
tress Is seldom communicable, because it is
. surface thing. 1t is at war with the fe-
male organization. A comical woman does
not really belong to her sex, and other wo-
men dislike her. Nevertheless, glory to the
laughter-loving female who is not SO much
q bearded man incOgnito as an excellent COM
panionable garcon. We take it that the
reason an actress laugh is rarely communi--
cable is that an actress seldom laughs natu-
rally. You hear an irrepressible laugh on
the stage; it is generally a forced, hollow,
noisy cacchination. If actresses wept as
unraturally their tears would be equally un-
sympathetic. Asa rule the best actresses
manage sorrow better than. mirth, and thus
convey the tender emotions more readily to
the audience"

A FrightfuI Leap-A Woman Jumps from
Train of Cars. ..

A few days ago, as a train was leaving
Clyde, Ohio, a young woman, German, and
apparently about IS years of age, got upon
the train to go to Bellevue. On learning
that the train would not stop at Bellevue,
and that she would be under the necessity
of going to Clyde, and return by the accom-
mediation train, she left her seat, walked to
the platform of the car, and deliberately
jumped off-the train running at the rate Of
at least forty miles an hour.
The train was stopped as speedily as pos
sible and backed up TO the place where the
woman made the leap, and she was found
lying in the sand little stunned, but other
wise uninjured, not bone broken or even a
scratch discernible on her person. She was
taken up and placed on the accommodation
train and taken to Bellevue, and on arriving
at the place she walked from the train to a
tus, which she entered, and was driven to a
hotel apparently as well as any person in the
crowd.
On the arrival of the express train the
conductor telegrapbed to Bellevue to learn
something in regard to the woman, and re
ceivcd reply from physician stating that
she was all right.
The clothing which the woman had on
when she made the fearful leap was all de-
stroyed by the fall and tic violence with
which she was whirled into the sanp and
mud. 1t seems almost miraculous that she
escaped with her life.

A young man. Louis Jaques, was yester-

culiar we give brief account of il, with
holding the names of the assaulted parties
Some time ago young gentlemei of this

receiving from her confession that the

promptly made to have the marriage bell
tolled, and after the fair one had been al
lowed ample time to prepare the inevitable
orange wreath, and fill the necessary Sara

the person of Jacques, who had armed him
self with number of stones from the ma
cadamlzcd street, and with Il quantity of
the same ARTICLES of war" in reserve, COM
menced Il savage attack upon the party and
the house. The guests were astounded, the
bridegroom enraged, and the brides nerves
received shock from which she did not
soon recover. After continuing the assault
for a few minutes, the attacking party endeav-
ored to ''retreat in good ORDER" but was ar
rested and locked up on a charge of distur-
bance. Yesterday, when the case came up
for trial, Judge Schooner was, on hearing
the evidence. impressed with the belief
that amusement of the kind ir dulged in was
worth twenty five dollars to any man, and
in consequence requested the defendant to
contribute that amount towards the support
of the city government No reason was
given in court for the attack, but it appears
probable that it was instigatcd by the
"green- eyed monster"

The End of the St. Thomas Affair.

1t has been already mentioned that the
King of Denmark has issued proclamation
to, his beloved and faithful subjects in the
islands of St. Thomas and ST. Johns, rels-
ting to the abandonment of the annexation
treaty made with this country. It's little
awkward for a ruler who had bargained to
sell out his subjects, under no matter what
influences, to acknowledge at last that he
was not able to get rid of them but at the
same time it must be admitted that Chris
tan TX comes out of this transaction in d
manner more dgnifed than the Senate CT
the United States. The illusions to " the
repeated and urgent requests OF the
North American government" and to the
initiative tor the treaty which " exclusively 7
proceeded from the United States them
selves" touch a weak point in the policy
which the Senate has chosen to adopt, anil
revea, the consciousness of the proud little
Scandinavian Kingdom that it has been to
some extent trifled with. The convention CT
1867 is document of which we have now
heard the last. We agree with the New
York Themes that for the sake of our national
honor, 1t is to be hoped that the precedent
it embodies will in future be avoided, and
we may add that its result ought to admon-
ish circumspectiou and prudence in the St
Domingo and other contemplated acquisi
tions of foreign territory.-Sun.

A Horrible Atrocity in New Jersey-A
Woman Beaten to InsensibilIty and
thrown on n Stove by her Husband

A man named Donohoe. keeper of low
groggcry on River street, Newark, has again
outraged the feelings of humanity by so
brutally and feloniously beating his wife
that her life is imperriled. Only short
time since he was sentenced to the State
Prison for year for his rutfianism, but
through the plcadings of the present victim
of his fiendishness his sentence was commu
ted to a fine.
The first intimation of yesterdays deadly
assault was the running of Mrs. Donohoe
into a neighbor's reeklng with blood and
pursued by her husband, who, as she sunk
exhausted on chair, felled her to the ground
with blow from him. Owing to Donohoe's
reputation for ferocity, the neighbors were
afraid to interfere, and remained silent but
Mortified spectators OF his atrocities. While
she remained motionless On the floor he par
TALLY disrobed her, and taking her in his
arms threw her ON the stove, whereby her
forehead was severely cut by striking against
a kettle, the hot water in the latter also
scalding her person. Finding her still alive
he threw her down a flight of stairs, and as
she lay in a lifeless condition, he told the
shuddering bystanders if they would carry
her home he would withhold any further
brutality; but no sooner had she been de-
posted on the floor of their hovel than
Donohoe impressed the heel of his rough
shoe on her face with such stamping force
that the blood oozed from her ears, nose and
mouth. Donohoe then shut the door and
remained inside with his victim, and as all
the witnesses of the deed of blood were
afraid to prefer charge against him, the
police rcfrained from making any attempt
to arrest him. 1t is the opinion of those
who behcld the shocking outrages that the
unfortunate woman cannot SURVIVE.

In NO STATE, probably, is the situation
of affairs so bad as in North.Carolina. VIC
lence and terror are holding there high car
nival, and the record of the past twelve
months is terrible one. Within that time
no less than five hundred citizens have been
whipped and scourged by desperate ma
rauders Not less than twenty women have
been violated, and at least ten men mutila
ted in the most shocking manner. In the
presence of these outrages grand juries have
been for the most part powerless, or if in
rare cases they have found indictments, the
indictments have been seldom followed by
convictions. The Solicitors and judges
have been as powerless as the juries. In
timidation has gone hand in hand with vio-
lence, and the civil authorities have been
overawed. Governor Holden is the only one
invested with power who appears to have

1t is gratifying to see some OF our best
and ablest men as candidates for the legisla-
ture in various parts of the State. This is
peculiarly the case in the Wake Senatorial
District. Judge Olds, by his splendid legal
and literary attainments will be placed at
once among the leading members of the
body, tor which he has been designated by
the Republicans of Wake. He will. of
course, be elected. His high moral and So
cial position, his answering devotion to the
principles of the Republican party will rem
der him most efficient representative of
the people in the body to which he will be
assigned and they will have an assurance
that in him they will have an able and a
true friend. ......-..
The promptncss and efficiency with which
he has discharged the various duties de
volving upon him as Attorney General, at
test his ability and usefulness as a public
servant.
We take This occasion to say of Mr.. P.
B. Hawkins of Franklin, who has also been
selected to represent, in part, the same Dis
trict that no truer or more reliable Senator
will he returned to that body. By his in,

to business of his constituents entrusted to
him, he will deserve the confidence reposed
in him by an enlightened constituency

1 Love You.

A tired woman hushed to sleep her babe
Beauty once made her face radiant, per-
haps, but all that beauty is gone now. The
blue eye is dim and faded-the pale brow
is covered with lines of care. Perhaps with
that far off look of hers she sees little graves,
green with many summers. Her home is
very humble-all day she has toiled, and
the fainting spirit almost surrenders to ia
tigue the downcast eyes trembling with
tears-she is so weary-and every nerve
tingles when these boys come hungry from
school, some with tale of sorrow that
mother must hear.
And after that they were hushed with
kisses or chidings. 1t is time to set supper
for seven hungry mouths, and the accus-
toned never-cnding of putting away and
cleaning up, till the worn out creature won
ders with a sigh if there really will come
rest for her-an eternal rest.
At last she can rest her with weary limbs
in the corner rocking chair The babe
whose eyes close fitfully to low lullaby, lies
in her fathers lap. He is plain man, that
good father, with an honest face and a
great heart, that would take in all the care
and sorrow of the houfehold.
The babe sleeps With rude gentleness he
lays it on its mothers's bosom, and as the
ruddy freight plays over the care-worn fea
lures, he looks upon her with eyes suddenly
grow lustrous and beautiful. He lifts his
great hand softly till it rests on her should
ers, as he says: .. ....
Il love you dear Mary"
How the poor heart leaps into love, ligh.
and rest. How vanish the cares that trod
upon her weary soul She no more remem-
bers the toilsome watching. She reflects not
now that the pretty babe with flushing
cheeks against her breast has worn her pa
tience threadbare with constant tears and
unrest. She forgets that the fire would
smoke, the broth burn, and the children
tease her, that the clothes line broke, and
that every limb of her frame ached with
fatigue. 2
What were those in comparison with the
steadfast love that has burned for eighteen
years, in the sunlight of happiness. through
the clouds OF despair, when beauty made
her winning, and when her charms of lowell
ness had gone and the freshness of youth had
departed forever? What cared she fol
aught outside her home? Though she had
many sorrows. such words thrilled hel
whole being.
Il love you Mary! !"

ssWhat Know About Farming''-After
I Greely.
BY MARK TWAIN.

''Turnips should never be pulled; it
injures them. 1t is better to send boy up
and let him shake the tree.
'.The guano is a fine bird, but great care
is necessary in rearing it. 1t should not be
imported earlier than June or later than
September. In the winter it should be
kept in warm place, where it can hatch
out its young.
ut is evident that we are to have back.
ward season for grain. Therefore it will be
well for the farmer to begin setting out his
cornstalks and planting cakes in July in
stead of August.
Concerning the pumpkin-This berry is
a favorite with the natives of the interior of
New England, who prefer it to the goose
berry for the making of fruit cake, and who
likewise give it the preference over the rasp
berry for feeding cows, as being more filling
and as full satisfying. The pumpkin is
the most esculent of the orange family that
will thrive in the North, except the gourd
and one or two varieties of the squash. But
the custom of planting it in the front yard
with the shrubbery is fast going out oi
vogue, for it is now generally conceded that
the pumpkin, as shade tree, is failure.
"Now, as the warm weather approaches,
and the ganders begin to spawn" and so on.
