: Curious Facts.

The poet Martial addressed some of his
opigrams to tho British lady Claudia, with
others to Linus and Pudcns, aud these are
supposed to be tho very persons mentioned
by st. Paul in his second epistlo to Timo-
Thy. Claudia is thought by some writer's to
be the first British Christian. Elaborate
proof is brought forward in this matter. -
Three persons bearing these names are spoken
of by st. Paul as his friends, and 1t is claim
ed that they were at Rome in less than hull
oftho first century. The lady Claudia is
said to be related to Caractacus who was in
Rome in 81, in G2 Paul was at Rome, and in
81 murdered by Nero. In 90 Martial died
at an advanced ago. Claudia was said to
have bcon very beautiful woman, and zeal.
Gus pioneer in tho Christian civilization of
Britain. That Paul should have commended
her SO highly to the affections of his broth.
ron, is proof sufficient of the exaltation of her
character, and that tho poet Martial should
have singled herself and Putens, her hus
band, as shining marks for his musical pro
ductiops, shows their position in the social
scale. The historical facts are all recorded
very minutcly, and add strong and beautiful
link to the claim of evidence rs the authcn
ticity of ST. Paul's cpstlcs. A number Of
female stars shot suddenly across the horizon
in the early days of Christianity The Em
press Helena, wife Of the Roman Empcro,
Constantine Chorus, and mother of Constan
tine Great, was British maiden and not only
instructed tho first Christian Emperor, bu
shed the light Of a fiue intellect on the litcra
ture of her country She was considered
one Of the brightest stars in Brtain's galaxy
of lettcrs.
Christianity is favorable to female improve
ment. Not to suffrage shricking, but to the
highest culture Of every beautiful womauly
power, and "swcct attractive grace" 1t is
the garden where woman may cultivate the
lovelicst flowers OF earth, the finest fruits Of
literature, and tho most precious healing

neA. Arkansas has celebrated will case
which has becn hanging in the court for thir-
teen years. The jury at Marion, Arkansas,
recently brought in verdict for the defend
ant, when the opposing counsel demanded
that the Judge should cause tho Jury to be
polled, and it was accordingly 50 ordered,
three names had been called, and the ques-
sion "Is this your verdict" addressed to the
fourth, man named Mitchell, but before he
could reply he uttered keen, sharp scream,
as if i'll mortal agony, and dropped apparent
lifcless. Every effort was made to restore
him. but at last accounts he was still unable
to speak, and tho great will case Of Lpcklanl
VS. Jones is still in abcyance. The doctor
pronounccs his disease apoplcxy. If he dies
before answering the question the whole case
will have to be tried over again.

THE LAND OF DIAMoNDs.-Grc excite.
ment prevails in South Africa, on account of
the discovery Of rich diamond fields, about
$50 miles northeast from Cape Town. The
diamond fields are 5000 feet above the level
of the sea. The country where the diamonds
have becn found consist of flats and undulat.
ing grounds The rivers have not yet been
prospected. The natives have hitherto found
most of tho diamonds, and on the surface only.
They never dig for them. A dozen join
hands and walk abreast across the plains
When they find shining pebble they pick it
up, and if not q diamond throw it over thci
shoulder and go on.
Washing for them is the | st process, but
tho great scarcity Of water forbids it's USE
Hence some resort to the sitting process. Tho
diamond fields cover over 1000 square miles,
and extend from longitude 24 to 20 cast, and
from latitude II to 80 south.

No Mere Winchester Rife Speeches.

1t is authoritatively announced that Governor
SCoTT ''deems it inconsistent with the proper
discharge of his responsible duties to take an
active part in the campaign" and whoever
announces him to make speech will know,
hereafter at least, that he is perpetrating Il
fraud" Well, it is a matter of regret that this
conclusion was not reached a little earlier, and
that the Governor had not deemed it inconsist-
cnt for him to deliver such a reckless and par
tisan speech as that which fell from his lips at
Washington, when he advocated the Winches-
ter rifle as the best law of the land. He was
no less the Chief Magistrate of South Carolina
at the moment of such diabolical utterances
than he is to-day, and his responsible duties"
as the Executive of q State should have con-
strained him then with equal force to keep
silence. But we are induced to believe that
other motives prompt him to keep out of the
canvass. He is fully aware that the corruptions
and extravaganza of his administration will be
thoroughly exposed, and he does not dare to go
before the people. He knows that an ar
raignmcnt of official conduct will bring to light

Republican State Convention.

We observe that the chairman of the Repub-
lican State Executive Committee gives notice
that the "Union Republican party of this
State" will meet in convention at Columbia on
the 26th of July, for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor to be voted for at the next general
election, which will take place on the third
Wednesday in October next; to prepare plat
form or declaration of principles, and to select
an Executive Committee of the party and a
member from each county in the State to COM
pose, together with one person from each Con-
eressional District, "The State Central Com
mittee" for the next ensuing two years. Each
county will be entitled TO as many delegates in
the proposed State Convention as it is now en-
titled to members of the lower branch of the
Legislature. The county of Anderson has
three members, and consequently the Republi-
cans will select three delegates, who will be
chosen in the manner explained elsewhere.
After the adjournment of the State Conven-
ton, each Congressional District will hold
convention to nominate candidates for Con-
gress, and each County will hold convention
to nominate candidates for the Legislature.
1t will be seen that the Republican party is
making arrangements for vigorous and thor
ough campaign. Party machinery will be in
dustriously used to keep intact their present
organization and numbers. 1t is necessary,
therefore, that'the Union Reform party should
begin to devise means for similar compact
organization, in order to meet the issues of
the campaign and make progress in the ranks
of the voters heretofore aligned with the Radi-
cal party. AS We understand it, the Union
Reformists include Democrats and Republi-
cans, banded together for the purpose of secu-
ring e reformation in the State government, to
put down bribery and corruption, and erect an
honest, economical and faithful administration
of public affairs But this union cannot ac-
complish the desired ends without organiza-
ton, aud the more perfect and compact this
organization, the greater probability of defeat
ing their opponents in the present campaign.
We presume that the Executive Committee
provided for in the recent Convention will
shortly issue an address to the people of the
State, and make practical suggestions as to the
conduct of the campaign.
We expect there will be sharp and active
canvass. and we trust that the leaders of both
parties will endeavor to make it as short as
possible. The industrial interests of the coun-
try require this concession from the political
leaders; in order that the labor of the country
may not become demoralized nor any great loss
of time be sustained by the people.

spectfully appeal to their friends, outside of the
city, in behalf Of that Institution. The Edu
cational Department of the "Home," which is
the most important and the most expensive
has entire reference toyoung ladies from without
the city. 1t aims to afford them Il home, the
influences of wcll-ordcred household, and the
facilities of the best city schools. Thirty young
ladies, from tie seacoast and the interior, are
now enjoying these privileges, and every cx-
pcnsc has been hitherto met. But the Insti
tuition has no endowment, save that of the in
tercst and liberality of its friends; and upon
that endowment it relies with confidence for the
future, as it has not failed in the past
It's friends in the interior have it in their
power materially to further the interests and
promote the objects of the "Home" by contri-
buttons of money, provisions, fruits, or any
thing which may be made scrvceablc for the
needs of this household of our Confederate
wards.

Agricultural Items.

Hon. HORACE CAPRoN, the Commissioner of
Agriculture, has imported from India small
quantity of the seed of the jute plant, with the
view of introducing its culture into the extreme
section of the Union, south of the frost line.
1t is being distributed to planters in Texas and
Florida, who will give it fair trial. 1t is a
fibrous plant, resembling coarse flax, of easy
culture and rapid grswth 1t is the material
of which gunny bags and cloth, and bagging
for cotton, as we'll as cheap cordage, mats and
carpets are made. Its great use, however, is
for baling cotton, and as such will prove valu-
able at the South if its cultivation can be made
a success.
The Agricultural report for the current
month states as follows: Cotton growers seem
determined this year to reduce the price to fif-
teen cents, with every prospect of doing it
The acreage is materially increased in every
State, while that of wheat, and probably corn,
Though the county estimates for the entire
country do not come in until July 1st,) has de-
creased. If the neglect of all other interests
can only be cured by cheap cotton, the sooner
the reduction comes the better. The condition
of the growing crop in North Carolina is good.
South Carolina cotton is looking well, except
that some complaint of bad stands is made. In
Georgia it is late and smaller than usual, from
the effects of drouth of five weeks, which ter
minated May 25th, but it is growing vigorously
now. The dry term was shorter in Florida and
Alabama, and cotton is generally in good con-
dition Reports from Missouri and Mississippi
are still more favorable In TcAsas Parish,
Louisiana, where the greatest cotton yield of
1869 was made, the condition of the crop is
twenty per cent better than last year, and the
acreage is increased onc-ffth. From Texas
come reports of Il backward spring, with cotton
late, but thrifty and promising, and no State
makes more favorable returns than Arkansas.
The average condition of cotton is better than
last year at this time, fact desirable and graf
flying in itself, but of no controlling force in
determining the ultimate result Last season
was unpropitious to August; afterwards favor
able to an almost unexampled degree. A tenth
of the crop is due to the extreme length and
propitious character of the autumnal season.
The acreage of sea island cotton in Texas has
been increased.
