He is great deal too good to be abused
He knew we would hear of the accident
and naturally supposed his friends
would be alarmed. 1t was q light affair
however. Nobody was hurt, though a
baggage-car was smashed up; and !
thought would break it to you gently,
and all that sort of thing"
Two hours later Doctor King received
characteristic telegram from the youth
of an inquiring mind, reading it with a
light in his eyes and warm flush creep
ing over his face. He was on board
the night-train for the north, and aston
ished everybody by walking into the
dining-room at breakfast.
Miss Shannon's faith in Sibyl Guer-
rims predictions was little shaken.
Miss Longworth's satisfaction was
almost visible in her face, but lest the
prophecies should be wholly discounted,
the more generous ones expatisted
largely on singular condolences con-
nected with fortunes, both in and out of
teacups.

HONOR THE SoIssoRs.-The Guelph
Mercury says: "Some people, ignorant
of what good editing is, imagine the
getting up of selected matter to be the
easiest work in the world to do, whereas
it is the incest work that is done on a
paper. If they find the editor with
scissors in his hand they are sure to say,
4" Eh that's the way you get the origi-
nal matter, eh p accompanying their
new and witty question with an idiotic
wink or smile. The facts are, that the
interest, the morality, the variety and
usefulness of a paper depend in no small
degree upon its selected matter, and few
men are capable of the position who
would not themselves be able to write
many of the articles they select. A SEN
sible editor desires considerable selected
matter, because he knows that one mind
cannot make so good paper as five OF
six"

The Sumter Ncos. winds up the most
of its editorial articles with tho nonscn-
sical phrase, "The Constitution must D.:
restored" How little sense come ofthc cdi
tors of our Democratic newspapers have
Such talk is the vcricst bosh. By and
by our contemporary will be brought to
think it worse. Why, its own children
will laugh at its short sightedncss sonc of
these days. OF course it matters not to
us what doctrine Democratic editors NAV
advocate, so they don't follow the Val
landisham idea, and steal our livery to
fight us in. For them to stick to
their constitutional heresies will make
the fight all the more easy for us. The
"new departure" is going to be ridicu-
lous failure, because its author has taken
real undoubtcd departure, and can no
more contribute his mite towards The
enlightenment of Democratic block
heads.
So upon the whole, Will, tho Sumter

tioh as it was prior to the war between

Clafin University.

The Second Annual Commencement
exercises of the Claflin University, were
held in this Institution on the Goth and
zlst instants. The Examination of the
Primary Classes continued throughout
the first day, and reflected great credit
upon the Instructors and pupils. The
prompt and correct answers to questions
propoundcd by visitors, rs we'll as teach
ers, showed that great care had been
taken to lay sure foundation for future
scholarship.
The exercises Of the day were conclu-
ded by an address upon Education from
Judge Wright of the Supreme Court
The lecture a5ounded in practical ideas
and was delivered with such earnestness
and ability, that it commanded the un-
divid attention Of the large audience for
nearly two hours.
Tho examination of the higher classes
occupied the second day. Very many
of the students are deserving Of the
highest praise for the degree of prof.
cheney to which they have attained du-
ring the pat year. The exercises in
Mathematics, Geography aud Latin wer o
admirable, and would convince the most
determined advocate Of the inrcriority of
the negro race, that the color of the
skin docs not affect the brain.
: The Animal exhibition was given on
"Wednesday the 2ist inst, and is worthy
of conlmendation. The dsclan,ations
and orations of the students were we'll
delivered aud showed considerable ora
toricsl ability. Among those who did
great credit to themselves, aud arc wor-
thy of special mention are j. l. Hum.
bert who delivered the introductory ora
ton, w. =. Brown, a. s. Smith, Jub.
Is. llayme and ---- Bowen the vale
dietorian. The exhibition was equal to
amy held in institutions of like charac.
ter, though better selection of pieces
could have been made.
The exercises were attended By pro.,.
inc"t gentlemen Of this State, as we'll as
from abroad The Rev. II. S. Rust.
ID. d., of Cincinnati, j. X. Jilson, Su.
pcrintcn,san. of Education, Rev. True
Whittier. A. w. Cummings, ID. d.,
aud others delivered addresses. Taken
as wh"le, ClaH.n University is snc-
cess and is worthy Of much praise The
next scholastic year commences in Oc-
t"bor; we trust thot every room will be
occupied by earnest, faithful students.

A Beautiful Incident.

A gentleman relates that many years
ago he was on a visit to the Isle of Man,
and during his walks he strolled into the
quiet churchyard, where repose the bodies
of many a faithful and humble Christian.
Near grave in a corner of the church
yard he noticed lady with little girl
(the latter about twelve years of age) to
whom she was relating the story of the
dairyman's daughter, whose remains lay
beneath their feet. As the lady pro-
ceeded with the narrative, he observed
the little girl lift up her eyes filled with
tears, and heard her say that she would
try and be as good as the dairyman's
daughter had been. After planting a
beautiful lily on the grave, they walked
slowly away. The gentleman, upon
making inquiry, found that the lady was
the Duchess of Kent, and the little girl
her daughter. The latter is now the
Queen of England.

From the N. 7. Times.
French Taxation and the Terms
of Pence.

The pecuniary indemnity which Germany
demands of France Is simply enormous.
There Is, after the declaration by M'Thiers.
no reason to doubt that it has been correctly
reported. France has purchased peace
therefore, at price which seems absolutely
ruinous, and which, if ever paid, viii give
her the Hnenviable distinction of having
the heaviest public debt in the world At
the beginning of 1870 the official statement
OF the public debt shows total OF $2,6OO,-
OOO,OOO. During 1870 three loans were con-
tracted which, when capitalized, will
amount at least to 500, 100000. The war
expenditure, which the nation has still to
cover by duly authorized loan, cannot be
less than another 500, 900. GERMANY
now demands $1,000, 100000, and if France
can borrow this at all, it will only be on
such terms as must increase the capital of
the obligation by One-half, so make the in
demnlty actually reach the figure of 81 $780,
OOO.OOO. Suppose at the end of three or
more, probably of six years. France should
be able to pay this enormous bill, she will
find herself in the possession Of a national
debt which reaches the alarming total of
$4,700, 900 900,
