A Destructive STORM. IA gentleman

writes from Limestone Springs, Spar
tanbnrg County. August 27. as follows:
= Zone OF thel~ most terrible and de-
structivo storms, or cyclones, passed
through our neighborhood, on yesterday
morning, about 8 O'Clock, that has ever
been witnessed in our oommunity. It
did not, however, pass very near to us.
The farthest point South that we have
heard from is Mr.. Obediuh Tate's, in
Union County. about six miles from us.
It is described by eye witnesses as NOV
ing in due North course, by Isaac
Penler'a, thence to hIaynus Coyle's,
blowing down every log of his house, and
the chimney to within two feet of the
gronnd-piling the timbers in every
direction, and carrying some OF the logs
from 100 to $50 yards. AIr. Coyle was
bndly hurt by the tinbers, and his
daughter was dangerously mashed and
bruised-a heavy cupboard falling upon
her when tho house was blown down.
The next VIC hear OF it in it's course was

Memo PHILASTHRopY.-On Tuesday
afternoon, assistance was asked of tbs

and her sick child, who had been taken
with the fever and were lying in house

nurses who had rendered their services
Ito be paid for) to the rssocintion, aud
one of these was despatched to the
house. Upon finding that the sick per.
sons were of her own color, the nurse re-
turned in disgust, saying ''she was hired
to attend white people and not niggers, "
and could not he induced to wait on the
sufferers. The other colored nurses
made the same point. At length one of
the directors Of the association was sent
down, who instructed the sick woman to
hire any nurse she knew Of. at the ex-
panse at the association. But we bo.
iieve that one Of the regular nurses af-
tnrward changed her mind We may
mention. in this connection, that the as.
socintion. like truo charity, knows no

The mystery of Gastein is to be con-
'tinued with pertinacity. It seems TINT
the two Emperors- William and Francis
Joaeph-had some intention of explain
ing by circular directed to their diplo-
matic representatives, what the nature
OF their conference has been and the
character OF the conclusion which had
been arrived at. But this proposition
has been reconsidered, and it is now de.
clared that circulars in relation to the
,Gastein mystery will not be sent abroad,
but that wherever nation shows sen-
sitiveness in reference to that consulta-
tion, and fears that the understandings
which were arrived at will menace it's
own prosperity-then, and in suoh case
only, will the government of the afore-
said nation be informed that nothing oc-
@ourfed at Gastein which could, by any
means. affect the prosperity or peace of
the aforesaid milton, whereby it could
become obvious that solicitude on the
saubject need not be entertained. The
world will have 70 be Satisfied with this
animation, and Gastein will, in conse-
.quence, remain moro inoomprehensible
than ever.

Quite naturally the mania for erecting
monuments to local celebrities is spread
ing. From New England it has invaded
the South. Virginians. jealous Of the
monumental fame OF Captain Miles
:Standish, insist that o granite shaft or
marble statue should be erected to com
memorate the deeds OF Capt. John
Smith. Certainly this worthy is aa de-
serving OF Immortality in stone as the
Puritan chieftain, and while they are
honoring the memory of Smith the
people of the Old Dominion should not
forget Pocahontas; the memorials Of
these two ancient Virginians-one one M
tive, the other prospector deserve to
be perpetuated together. Tho aborigi-
nal dnmsel is said to have once saved
the life Of the adventurous captain. Now
let the admirers of the latter ennble their
favorite to perform an act of posthumous
gratitude to his fair preserver by having
her memory honored in conjunction
with his own. Monuments to Captain
Smith and Pocahontas are in order in
Virginia.

Apropos Of rumor that the expedi-

care we to confess that our attempt to
,civilize that heather people is failure?''
Truly, the Specification which the aver
age Radioal attaches to the word civil
xation is singular one, and only expli-
cable in q negative sense as implying the
destruction OF unoivilized life. Of

Why Lace is Costly.

Many people wonder why what Isl
termed real lace, as lace made by hand
is called, to distinguish it from that made
by machine, which is called imitation, lis SO.
called. The following paragraphs from
foreign exchange explains the rea~-
son - ...
"The manufacture of face'is carried to its
highest pvrfection in Belgium. The finest
specimens of Brussels lace is so complica-
ted as to require the labor OF seven per-
sons ON one piece, and each operative isI
employed on distinct features of the work
The thread used is of exquisite fineness,
which is spun in dark underground rooms
where it is sufficiently moist to- prevent
the thread from separating.
1t is so delicate as scarcely TO be seen,,
and the room Is so arranged that all the
light admitted shall tall upon the work
IL is such material that renders the gen.
uine Brussels ground so costly. On a
piece of Nalenciennes not two inches
wide from two to three hundred bobbins
are sometimes used, ami tor' lagrer width
as many as eistft hundred on the same
pillow. The most valuable Ealenciennes
is determined by the number of times,
the bobbins have been twisted in making
the ground ; the more frequent the clear
er aud the more beautiful will be the lace.
Belgium annually sellsof this lace alone
to the value of over $4,000 600. Chan
tilly lace is always black, and is used
chiefly tor wells and flounces. 1t is very
| fine and extensively worn. Mechlin lace
is made atNiechfn, Antwerp, and other
localities

THE HIGH COMMISSION.

Most of the English members of the
Joint High Commission, appointed to
settle upon some plan for the adjust
ment of the differences existing be-
tween this country and Great Britain,
have arrived in this country, and the
commission is already preparing to en-
ter upon its work. Informal meetings
have already beer held, and these
meetings will continue until the arriv-
al Of the other Commissioners from
En- land, who are expected daily. 1t
is announced that a formal meeting
will, in all probability. be held this
week. The Commission has most
difficult and arduous task before it, but
we believe the represe natives of both
countries assembled, will -endeavor to
be governed by fairness, and show a
spirit of justice to all parties concern
ed. 1t Is rumored that the commiss-
toners will be serious y embarrassed at
the very outset of the negotiations, ow-
ing to preposterous claim made by the
Canadian government, for enormous
damages for the Fenian raids We
presume it is debateable question, at
least, among the High Commissioners,
whether this matter should be lugGed
in for arbitration.

BLEAK WEATHER.
BY ELLA WHEELER.

Dear love, where the red lilies blossomsd
and grew,
The white SHOWS, are falling,
And all through the wood, where [ wan
dered with you,
The loud winds, are calling,
And the Robin, that piped to US tune upon
tune,
Meath the elm-you remember,
Over tree top, and mountains, has followed
the June,
And left us-December.
Has left like friend that is true in the sun,
And false in the shadows,
He has found new delights. in the land
where he's gone,
Greeuer woodlands, and meadows,
What care we let him go let the snow
shroud the lea
Let it drift on the heather
We can sing through it all; have you
you have me-
And we'll laugh at the weather.
The old year may die, and Jew one be
born,
That is bleaker and colder,
But it cannot dismay US ! we dare tive
scorn,
For love makes US belder.
All, Robin sing loud on your far distant
lea
Thou friend in fair weather
But here is song, that's fuller of glee--
By two warm hearts, togs Their.
