THE SOUTH CAROLINA EDUCATIONAL !NsTI-
ruTE.-According to announcement the South
Carolina Educational Institute met at Green
vile, Wednesday of last week. Very much to
the regret of members, and to the disappoint-
ment Of the people, Gen. Easley, who was to
open the meeting with an address, had that
day been telegraphed to the bedside of sick
relative at Pendleton, and did not appear.
The meeting was small one, but contained
representatives from various parts OF the State,
and was full of interest from the beginning to
the end. A number Of new members were
received, and the prospects of the Institute
brighten from time to time.
Three subjects were discussed with zeal and
earnestness. Prof. Judson, of Greenville, read
a very able paper on Geometry and Geometri-
cal textbooks. Mr.. B. r. Stuart, of Winns-
boro, introduced the subject of school organi-
zation, and made telling speech upon it.
The discussion was continued by others tor
nearly whole day, and then the whole subject
was laid over until next meeting. Dr. Broad
us, who has just returned from his journeyings
in the East, made very happy address on the
subject of Modern Languages, touching some
of the evils attending our present system OF
teaching them, and suggesting some remedies
He also advised great caution in the employ
ment of foreign teachers, for, said he: "Our
Professors of Modern languages are often men
who were, at home, hotel walters, or restaurant
servants"
MIR. Calvin, Superintendent of the Public
schools, in Augusta, was present and added to
the interest of the meeting by his account OF
the state of education in Georgia.
DIR. Manly, of Greenvillc, closed! the meeting
on Friday night, with an able and appropriate
address on Colleges in the South-wllat they
have been, what they arc and what they
need
The Institute adjourned Friday night to meet

THE BUFFENBARGER CAsE.-Ihe eXamlna-
ton in the famous poisoning case at Columbus
has ended, as every one has recently toreseen
that it must end, in the honorable discharge OF
the accused lady. Not a suspicious clrcum-
stance has been brought home to her. One or
two witnesses who testified to trivial incidents
supposed to indicate that she had no love for
her first husband have been discredited by their
own behavior on the stand Mrs. Colbum is
represented to have been an affectionate and
faithful wife, trusted by her husband to the
very hour of his death while the instigators OF
the prosecution bear, whether justly or not an
unenviable reputation. Add to all this that
four years were allowed to pass after the death
of Bufenbarger before the charge OF poisoning
was made, although the prosecutor, Thompson,
declares that he knew from the first that the
old man was murdered and finally that the
family physician testifies distinctly that the
death was caused by consumption, and was not
attended by any of the symptoms OF arsenical
poisoning-and we have an array OF facts in
Mrs. Colburn's favof which only the most di-
rect evidence could have overcome.
But there is mystery in the case which has
still to be unravelled. Four years after the
death of this old man arsenic is discovered in
his stomach and liver. 1t had never been adj
ministered incidentally, and it is pretty clear
that it had not been given as poison. How
did it get there9 The theory of the defense was
that it had been injected into the body after
death for the purpose of laying the foundation
of the present trial. 1t is conceivable that this
might easily have been done before burial, and
on that supposition we have only to account for
the fact that whoever devised this dcvilish
scheme. waited so long before taking the next
step. But if Maley Thompson was the man, it
is easy to understand why he should not have
found it convenient just then to bring himself
prominently before the public There was no
insuperable difficulty, however, in opening the
grave at any time. True, We are told that no
evidences of disturbance were discovered; but
the lapse of few weeks or months would have
obliterated all marks of the exhumation:
We presume that Mrs. Colburn will take
further steps to solve the secret of this extra
ordinary case. If it be true that the principal
witness for the prosecution has absconded, they
may be somewhat embarrassed in the legal pro-
ceedings which obviously suggest themselves,
but Jhey doubtless have clues which they will
spare no pains TO follow up.-New YORK 7r'-

A MAIDENs LovE.-Human nature has no
essence more pure-the world knows nothing
more chaste-heaven has endowed the mortal
heart with none holier, that the nascent affec-
tion of young virgins soul. The warmest
language of the sunny South is too cold to shad-
dow forth even a faint outline of the enthusi-
astic sentiment. And Providence has made the
richest language poor in the same respect, be-
cause the depths of hearts that thrill with loves
emotions are too sacred for the common con-
temptation. The musical voice oflove stirs the
source of the sweetest thoughts within the hu-
man breast, and steals into the profound recess
ses of the soul, touching cords that never vi
brated before, and calling into gentle compan-
ionship delicious hopes until then unknown.
Yes, the light of young maidens first love
breaks dimly but beautifully upon her as the
silver lustre of star gimmers through thick
ly woven bower: and the first blush that man
ties her check as she feels the primal influence
is faint and pure as that which rose leaf might
cast upon marble. But how rapidly docs that
light grow stronger, and that flush deeper. un-
til the powerful efnlgencc Of the one graduates
every corner of her heart, and the crimson
glow of the other sufuscs every feature OF her
countcnance.

FARMING AS A BUs1NEss.-A man who is
not smart enough to run store is not smart
enough to run farm. Farmers are not to be
made out of what is left after lawyers, doctors,
ministers and merchants are sorted and picked
out. And if man fails on farm he is not
likely to succeed in store, for it requires more
talent to be thriving farmer than to be an
average merchant. The one great failure is the
disproportion between a mans farm and his
capital. A farmers capital is skill, labor and
his money. If he has little cash, he must have
no more land than he can thoroughly manage
by his personal labor. Every acre beyond that
is an incumbrance. One acre well worked is
more profitable than twenty acres skinned
over. 1t is this greed of land by farmers that
have not the capital to work it that keeps so
many poor. Small farmers are better sto. than
ted to the capital of common farmers. Large
farmers with large capital are better than small
ones Farming is good business for aad all haSn msn
capital according to the size of their farms

- Notwithstanding the impression held in
society with reference to the so-called center

rich and influential it is nevertheless true thatno
man can make or retain good and useful posi-

punctuality and temperance.

At almost every step in life we meet with
young men from whom we anticipate wonder
full things, but of whom, after careful inquiry,
We never hear word. The etlervcscence Of

false brilliancy, which makes fools of them

American Wonders.

Silver Spring, Florida, is one of the greatest
curiosities in the South. 1t bursts forth in the
midst of the most fertile country in the State.
1t bubbles up in basin near one hundred feet
deep and about an acre in extent, and sending
from it deep stream sixty to one hundred feet
wide, and extending six to eight miles to the
Ocklawaha river. In the spring itself fifty
boats may lie at anchor-quite a fleet. The
spring thus forms natural inland port, to
which three steamers now run regularly from
the ST. Johns, making close connections with
the ocean steamers at Pilatka. The clearness
of the water is truly wonderful. 1t seems even
more transparent than air; you see the bottom
eighty feet below the bottom of your boat, the
exact form of the smallest pebble, the outline
and color of the leaf that has sunk, and all the
prismatic colors of the rainbow are reflected.
Large fish swim in it, every scale visible, and
every movement distinctly seen. If you go
over the spring in boat you will see the
assures in the rocks, from which the river pours
upward like an inverted cataract.
Another wonder is, that the "Stone Noun
tain," of Georgia, which was rendered famous
during the late war, has not been more written
about, talked about, and travelled about is un-
accountable, and indicates want of adlnira-
tion for the wonders of the Southland. Were
