DR.. p was the President of a Sou
thern College, aud who profcssed to be
very grammatical in the use of his language,
and therefore expected his pupils to be

always the case, this law is often violated
by the students without being protected.
A number of Freshmen collected to-

A Connecticut lawyer who wished to
cross the river on the ice, was told that
it would be entirely safe to make the at
tempt if he crawled over on his hands
and knees. Anxious to go, he humbled
himself accordingly, and hadlaboriously
got halfway across, when he was over
taken by a man driving along leisurely
in a buggy. The rapidity with which

The Doctor was promenading in a place
where omnibuses marked Seventh street

you please tell me, sir, how far these
stages go?" Politely jerking at his pa

Things are not to be altered by our
laughing ut them, and how merry soever
we may make ourselves with the belief
and notion OF Il Deity, we shall one day
find, in earnest that he is not to be Jest
ed out of His being. Alas! what des-
pcrato folly this is, for MOI thus to sport
and daily with the Almighty whose ven
Gemnce they can neither withstand nor
endure to point, and make mouths at
him to His face, and aet Him up, na the
Iingcr-butt Of their scOrn aud derision .
Thus to daily with their own fate, to
venture to be damned, that they may be
thought to be witty, and expose them
selves to endless wailinG and woe, only
to raise a present fit of laughter, is dcubt-
less u far more desperate attempt than
it would be to play at the mouth of
cannons while they are splitting fire, or
to lay hold on IL thunderbolt, as i tcomcs
roaring down from the clouds.

Lovers of art are invited TO view u
picture which is on exhibition at Wood
cocks Bookstore-one of Prang's elegant
chromos. 1t represents Farragut, dashed
in the shrouds of the flagship Hartford,
at the passage of the Mobile Forts. The
brave old Admiral stands Just above the
foreyard, his feet upon the ratlines, one
hand grasping the rigging and the other
reckoning his orders to the deck, while Il
line about his waist protects him from
falling. Around him the battle RACES
with its glare and smoke, shells bursting
in the rigging, but the old hero stands
calmly intent on the fortunes of the fight
and directing his men to victory. 1t is Il
scene to call up all the admiration of the
heroic in ones nature
Mcssrs. Prang & Co. who are producing
these elegant pictures of American scenes,
deserve the patronage and encouragement
of the country. Their reproduction, in q
style which rivals the best oil paintings,
of the finest works of American artists,
at marvellously low prices, is boon to
those whose love of the beautiful seeks to
decorate their homes. All that is admir-
able in nature, from the Barefooted Boy
of Whittiers poem to the glores of the 70
Semitic, as we'll as the mad enthusiasm
of battle scenes, form the subjects of their
art And in thus ministering to the love
of the beautiful and grand they lend a
charm to the life of every one who can
possess-and who cannot ?-one of their
gems. We have belief that every per-
son is better for the contemplation Of an
attractive picture, as he is for the hearing
Of music, or the listening to an eloquent
discourse.
We understand that Mr.. Woodcock is
prepared to order such of the chromos of
Prang Il Co. as may be called for, and
he invites all to step in and take look
at such as he has on hand.

Wayne and Seneca Counties. The wind
has been blowing a gale since yesterday

throughout the burning district, for smoke

lights were used in buildings to-day in
this city. Rain is very much needed.
Reports are constantly coming in of fires
in all directions.

A Reign Of Terror.

COLUMBIA, S. C., Oct, q. Information
has been received from York and the ad-
joining counties of Spartenburg and Ches-
ter, Stating that the greatest excitement
exists, owing TO the summary proceed
ings Of the United States Marshal and
the troops. Forty-four citizens, many of
whom are known to be innocent Of any
crime, were arrested and crowded into a
jail already full of negroes. Several hum
dred citizens deserted their homes in con-
sequence of the wholesale arrests, and
sought refuge in the woods until an OPP
portunity presents itself to seek safety in
Il more distant flight. A reign Of terror
exists in the entire section, and depreda-
tions are being committed on the property
of the citizens who have fled by negroes
and other evil-disposed persons. A fight
is said to have taken place on Brood riv-
er between a band of KuKlux and Unit
ed States troops, and the conflict was so
severe that reinforcements were called

What Harlan Thought of Grant.

Some wicked opponent Of the bladdery
Senator Harlan in Iowa has brought that
humbug to grief by looking up one of
his old speeches in the Congressional
Globe and publishing some choice ex-
tracts. Here is one, in reply to 4 speech
by Senator Sherman. Harlan had been
made acquainted with Gen. Grants in
temperance, and thus he spoke a.
81 rise to repudiate the attempt to bolster up
the reputation Of General Grant. From all
can learn on the subject, do not think Gen
Grant is fit to command great army in the
field. The Iowa troops under the command of
Grant have no confidence in his capacity and
fitness for the high position he now holds They
regard him as the author of the useless slaugh-
ter of many hundreds of their brave comrades
in arms. 1t is etten rs dangerous and as wick
ed to praise the unworthy and incompetent as
to detract from the meritorious. If my convc-
tons are correct, it would be crime for me to
remain silent and suffer influences to originate
in the Senate Chamber which may result in re-
storing a general to an active command whom
l and the people in part represent deem UNI
worthy of such trust Now, sir with such a
record, those who continue General Grant in
active command will, in my opinion, carry on
their skirts the blood of thousands of their
slaughtered countrymen. With my convictions,
| can neither do it myself nor silently permit it
to be done by others.'
The malice of this revival of the Sena-
tors record, as the Albany Argus sug-
gests, is evident when it is remembered
that except his membership in the Metho-
dist church, Senator Harlan's only capital
in trade is his devotion to General Grant

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. II. The Jury in
the Hawkins case came in last night with
a sealed verdict, which on being opened
this morning was found to be Guilty.
The Court room was crowded aud the
announcement created much excitement
The counsel for the people moved that
the defendant be taken into custody,
which motion was stoutly resisted by de
tendant's attorney. The prosecution,
however, We're firm in their demand that
the ease should take the ordinary course.
The IT, s. Marshal was accordingly Iii
rected to hold Hawkins as prisoner. but
time was allowed to prepare motion for
new trial and arrest of Judgment.
The penalty prescribed by the ttah
statute Tor the crime of adultery. is im-
prisonment for not over 20 years nor less
than three years, or a fine not over > 'o"
on both fine and imprisonment at the
discretion of the Court.
This is a test case and virtually places
all polygamists at the mercy OF the first
wife. who, under the act is the only party
who can institute proceedings against the
husband.
The case was conducted on both sides
with great determination and the charge
of Judge Mexican to the jury last night is
spoken of rs being eminently able.
