Sketch of Gov. Pickens' Life and Ser


We are greatly indebted to the author, Le-
Roy F. Youmans, Esq, of Edgefeld, for a
handsome bound volume of his Sketch of the
Life and Services of Francis w. Pickens, of
South Carolina" 1t will be remembered that
we published this sketch about fifteen months
ago, and that it was a model of chaste and
beautiful diction, rejecting great credit upon
the genius and talent of the writer, and like
wise faithfully portraying the character, abili-
ties and services of one of South Carolina's ia
vorite sons, who guided the helm of State amid
tempestuous seas, surrounded with difficulties
and trials unequalled in her history. The vol
ume before us has beer pub blished at the Office
..of the Charleston Daily Ne,os, and for typo
.graphical excellence is highly creditable to that
establishment. We presume that it is not
Offered for sale, and on this account we feel
doubly grateful to the author for including us
among those who are favored with this beauti-
full souvenir of great and good man, who was
so highly honored in life, and whose death has
been SO deeply and widely lamented.

Wire Walkind.

The monotony of village life was broken on
Monday last by the appearance of Prof Bond,
who had previously advertised to perform many
wonderful feats in wire walking. Several hun
dred citizens, of all ages, both SEXES, and every
condition in life assembled at the appointed
hour, three o'clock in the afternoon. The wire
was stretched across Main street, from the
Wayerly House to the residence of Mr.. S. Nc
Gully. When everything was in readiness, the
Professor appeared upon the parapet of the
Waverly House, dressed in fancy costume, and
began his walk across the wire. He performed
many difficult feats while in transit, besidesthe
dangerous one of crossing upon such a slender
support. He was imperturbably cool, and gave
directions to the colored men (holding ropes
below to steady the wire) in the most lnafec-
ted manner. g After a variety of performance,
the Professor descended and took up a-collec-
ton from the crowd. Here-appeared upon the
wire in short time, however, and this time
dressed in female attire, representing an old
woman under the influence of bad whiskey,
and causing considerable mirth over his antc
display. Altogether, the performance was
highly creditable to any one in that line of
business, but we are not convinced that such
exhibitions are improving or really entertain
ing.
The Anderson Brass Baud furnished music
for the occasion, and supplied the intervals of
the Professors exhibition most charmingly.

Apropos to the wire walking of last Monday,
there is solemn warning to all of our readers,
which is recorded in an exchange A man out
in Illinois, after witnessing the performance Of
tight-rope artist. said it was easy enough to
walk the rope, if a man only had the nerve.
He believed that the requisite amount of nerve
was concentrated in his own precious carcass,
and SO fastened the clothes line from the top of
his barn tothe chimney Of bis house, tack q
hoe handle to balance himself and started
across. His funeral was largely attended the
next day.

IHE PLANT QUESTIONING harm can re-
suit TO human health from the presence of
house plants; no, none at all. But, it is well
known that plants thrive in warm room,
and not in cold one. A room kept at a
temperature sufficiently high for plants TO do
well, is capable ofholdiDg an immense amount
OF water in suspension in its atmosphere
This water has to be supplied in order for the
plants TO live. My vile has room II by ~
feet, IN which she has some 60 plants in a
high state of cultivation aud beauty. She
uses "a quarts of Mater per day to water and
nutIify these plants. Tie water is all evapo-
ratedand difftlsed into the air OF the loom.
Sit down in that room 20 minutes, aud you
will be nicely warm and will not perceive
that your clothing is being saturated with
water, and yet, ouch 10 the fact. Herein lies
the only objection to house plants. OF course
a few plants are less Objectionable than 90
because less water is required. A. j. w. S.
Two OF HARRY Browns MARINEs.-We
are glad to know that the fine marine views OF
Harry Brown, the Portland artist, have met
with SO appreciative a reception here that they
are becoming a frequent feature of our art
stores. There are now in the beautiful store
of the Powers Parer Company two excellent
specimens of Mr.. Browns work. One is
stern Mount Desert scene, with rude cliffs
irowning over the morning dash of tumultu-
ous waves, the farther botizon wrapt in the
thick sea fog, and every detail making more
prominent the perfect balance, SO to speak, OF
the massive resistance of the rock with the
restless attack of the ocean. The other paint
ing contains as few elements as can well enter
into a work of art. A late afternoon light in
a cloudy sky; a recedins tide, with its sluggish
undert0w; slightly sloping beach, with an ir-
regular embroidery of seaweed these are all.
The manager eut of light and shade and out
line that has made these into a work of en-
chantnient is certainly very admirable. IL is a
painting TO which the eye ever returns with
interest. We should mention that this repre-
