election held by said Club, for officers.
we ,unintentionally gave offence to our

Dir. Editor-As editors are posted
generally in all matters pertaining to
State, you will confer a favor upon many
of your readers in answering the follow
ing inquiry: Why is it that Gov. Scott
has SO often promised the good people of
our County that he would not do thus
aud so, and the very next day we find
him classifying his word? Any clucida-
ton you may make of this plain incon-
sisteucy on the part of our Chief Mag
~istrate, will be acceptable to many of
your admirers, and especially to
ORANGEBURG.

rose the sonorous voice of the chap
lain; the evolutions, inspection Of
arms and exercise Of the troops; the re-
view by the commander-in.chief; and

Simultaneous and commingled firing,

sublimity. | thought then that under
stood how battles were lost and won,
and it needed only the carnage and the
death-shriek TO complete the exciting
picture. Some two or three thousand
troops Of different arms paraded on that
occasion, and the general interest was
enhanced by several companies Of cav
airy and ten pieces of artillery, as well
as by the presence of the Governor and
his splendid staff. A regular boy, l
sought to add to the renown of my day
on the muster-feld by worming my way
through the dense crowd that surrounded
the latter functionary and touching his
coat-tails, that might enjoy among my

Well, those stirring scenes of heroic
"fuss and feathers" have departed.
From my present standpoint j see that
it was best they should do so, They in
volved loss of time and money, and
imposed burden that bore very une-
qually upon the yeomanry and mechanics
OF the land. Nor was this the smallest
objection to the old military system.
There was carousal and drunkenness
connected with it, greatly detrimental
to the morals of the community; and 1T
is observable that the downfall of the old
regime synchronizes with the commence
ment ofthe temperance reformation, some
forty-fve years ago There was no longer
inducement to wake up the field officers
before daybreak unless the musicians
were rewarded with the customary
treat" And temperance men were
unlikely to be chosen to military offices,
as they were unwilling to find their COM
missions at the bottom of the punch
bowl. / am fully sensible to the doubt
full bearings of the old system, but even
now cannot but recur to those former
days of pomp, epaulettes, banners,
drums, plumes and thunder with a
pleasure which no substitute, the product
of later legislative wisdom, has ever
equalled. fA 1f0 ig

Gold and Geology.

From Lippincott's Magazine.l
In the earliest days Of gold mining we
established certain auriferous geological
laws. 1t was legitimate that gold should
be found only in certain locations, on
the river banks, in the beds, in gulches
or flats, on rifles and bars. But gold
was no respecter of these laws. There
is near Columbia, Tuolume county, Cali
fornia a very large fat over mile in
diameter and perhaps four in circumfer-
ence. 1t has been immensely rich. Ii
is surrounded on all sides by hills. One
day. some nineteen or twenty years ago
a negro walked over this fiat. He had
Just arrived in the country; he had come
to dig for gold. He approached party
of miners at work, and asked them where
he had better dig. These were geolog.
ical miners. They held that gold should
be found only in flats and low
places. They were also white miners.
White miners some nineteen years
ago felt themselves at full liberty
to expend their rough humor over q
solitary inquiring negro; so they told
him that good diggings might be found
up on yonder hill, pointing to one of the
highest in the neighborhood, as yet un
touched by pick or shovel 1t was q
good Joke thus to send Ethiopia up the
barren hill that hot summer day, the
mercury standing at one hundred in the
shade. Ethiopia confdingly went, dug,
perspired, and opened one of the richest
claims in Tuolume.
Caucassia heard of it. The grin faded
from her features. She dropped her
picks and shovels, ran from the plain,
ran up that hill, and in twenty-four
hours it was entirely staked out in
claims. Ethiopia had some trouble in
preserving the integrity Of his own
legitimate mining boundaries. eau
cassia ever after that was careful how
she joked with inquiring negroes as to
the locality of the "diggin's." She also
lost confidence in her geology.

Pen Pictures.


The New York Sun gives the following
graphic pictures of some of the Presi-
Dental aspirants:
Schuyler Colfax would make pretty
available Republican candidate, but he
pretends to be for Grant. He was born
in New York, and is forty-eight years
old, and has smile that is child-like and
bland.
Ben Butler would be glad to be Presi-
dent, but he can't He is fifty-three in
years and two hundred and fifty-three in
tricks that are vain. lfe.t
John A. Logan has aspirations. He
is handsome man with splendid black
eyes and hair, forty-fve years old last
February. He is pious.
Speaker Blaine pretends TO be willing.
He is forty-one years old and dweighs two
hundred and twenty pounds. What he
means is to be Senator in place of Mr..
Morrill,.
John Charles Fremont is still favor
ite with the old school Republicans who
voted for him in the wondrous campaign
of 1856 He is now fifty-eightyears old.
His legs are good.
III paying the public debt by enormous
taxes is a good Presidential platform,
Geo. S. Boutwell, should be the candi.
date. He is a Massachusetts, Yankee
fifty-three years old.
Judge David Davis, of the Supreme
Court, is the heaviest Democratic candi-
date. Avoirdupois, three hundred and
twenty-five pounds; girth, one hundred
and twenty inches; age, about forty-fye.
Fat men are often great runners.
Hannibal Hamlin has our sympathies,
because he is a printer, and knows more
about farming than Horace Greeley; but
he is of no use as Presidential candi-
date. Age sixty-two.
Ulysses Simpson Grant wants to be
President again dreadfully. He was
forty-nine years old on April q, 1871,
but can't run in 1872; the people have
had too much of him already.
Horace Greeley began to learn what
he knows about farming at Amherst,
New Hampshire, February 3, 1911. He
is turned of sixty, and may yet be en-.
tered for several Presidential races.

Death of ShamyI.

English papers announce the death
recently, at Medea, of Shamyl, the ia
nous prophet and Sultan ofthe Caucasus.
He was born in northern Dagestan in
1891, and being reared under the infu-
ence Of Oriental religious mysticisms,
eventually became the champion and
prophet Of what is known as Muridism or
Soofeeism, rendered more fervldand In
tense by the earnest profession of the
Koran. The promulgation of this new
faith, in 1923, by the prophet kasi Mol
lah, united the native tribes-which had
long been at feud-in common hatred
against the Russian "infdels." kasi
Mollah was slain in battle with the Rus
slams, in 1882, and was succeeded by
Hamsad Bey, who died in 1884 Then
Shamyl was chosen leader, and for a
quarter of century carried on a
fierce and tireless war against the
enemy of his faith and people,
during which period he distinguished
himself both for military genius and
craftsmanship. Toward the close Of the
Crimean war his power among his peo-
pie began TO diminish. Subsequently
the Russians returned with renewed en-
erey to the subjection of the Caucasus,
and stronghold by stronghold fell into
their possession, after desperate com
bats, and finally, in September, 1859, the
prophet leader was captured, with 400 of
his followers, in his last mountain fort
ress. His wives and treasure were spared
him, and he was taken to st. Petersburg,
where Alexander ii did honor to himself
by his kind treatment Of the captive.
He has since remained a resident Of the
Russian Empire, chiefly at kalooga.

MOUTH TO EAR.

Nay, speak no lila kindly word
Can never leave sting behind;
And oh, to breathe each tale we've heard,
Is far beneath noble mind.
For oft a better seed is s0wn
By choosing thus a kinder plan;
For If but little good we know,
Let's speak of all the good we can.
Give me the heart that fain would hide.
Would fain another's faults eiface.
How can il please our human pride
To prove humanity but base?
No, let it reach higher mode,
A nobler estimate of man;
Be earnest in the search of good,
And speak of all the best we can.
Then speak no ill, but intent be
To others feeling as your own!
If you're the first fault to see.
Be not the first to make it known,
For life is but a passing day.
No lips can tell how brief the stay.
Be earnest in the search of good
And speak Of all the good we may.

Picayune says: I've recall an inci-

indeed it often happens in every bank.
A gentleman asked the paying teller for
a bank check, drew il on the spot to his
own order and presented it; the teller
glanced at the face Of the paper, turned
Il over and handed it back, asking that
II be endorsed. This done and the check
returned, the teller looked at the endorse
ment, then at the first signature, and
again at the endorsement, smiled dis
tractedly and said, IL had not myself
seen you write those two signatures, l
would not pay this cheek, for they are
not at all similar. "

Terrible scenes are reported in Pari:
following upon the battles now going on
around that city. When the Commu
nists' dead and wounded were brought
into the city after the battle of the 9th
of April, in which Fort Issy was bonn.
barded, crowds of women and children
who had been eagerly scanning the con.
flict, rushed, half crazy with terror, tc
see if among the corpses they could moi
recognize father, a brother, husband,
or lover. During the bombardment OF
Issy the fort was filed with women who
refused to leave their husbands.
Compulsory education, it appears, is
meeting with some resistance in Scot
land. One of the members of a school
board was recently discussing the ques-
ton with an elector Of a Scotch town,
who addressed him as follows: "Well,

hear-that you gentlefolks are agoing to

The New York World says of the Cali
fornia sensation: Mrs. Crittenden ap-
pears throughout all the testimony which
refers to her in the case, as a noble and
selfsacri6cing woman, whose whole de-
sire was to do her duty by her husband
and her children. The natural impulse
Of a scorned woman for revenge she had
gained a complete and admirable victory
over. The contrast between the modest
and broken-hearted lady and the brazen
adventures who succeeded in supplant-
ing her was pointed upon the trial by
the insolent interruption with which a
prostitute and murderess marked her
hatred of true and virtuous woman.
It is in behalf Of women ike Mrs. Crit
tenden, and in despite Of women like
Mrs. Fair, that the divorce laws are kept
