A Scotch minister, of a most gen
tie nature and very reluctant to re-
prove, was travelling in the stage
coach between Stirling and Glas-
Cow. A clustering fellow-passen-
ger had in the form of oaths, often
mentioned the DEVILS name. By
and-by he began TO take the name
Of the Deity in vain. "Stop, SIR"
said the minister, "else one or other
of us must go out. So long as you
used the name of your own master
L was silent; but L shall not hear
you speak irreverently OF mine"

n ScOtchman, having made up his
mind to marry, took a quantity OF
wool to the house of young lady,
for her to spin. She began spinning,
but whenever she came to a knot,
she would throw it one side, saying,
"Spin you there Il wee" After
waiting for some time, he requested
to be shown what she had spun,
which was a very small quantity.
So pushing her to one side saying,
''Spin ye there a vice." he took
with him the wool, including all the
''spin ye there a wees" and tried
another young lady, who not only
spun the wool the former had not
touched, but also all the "spin ye
there a wees" leaving nothing. 1t
is needless to say which he married.

E1,ruordInary sagnoIty of a Ware.

One of the most remarkable in
stances of equine sagacity is re-
ported from Whitby, Canada. A
Young gentleman named Keene has
been for some time resident near
Nation, and from Mr.. Rutter, of
Hessle Farm, he boughta hunting
mare, which, on leaving MaltOn, he
recently took with him TO Whitby.
On Wednesday, the mare was miss
ing from the field, and a search was
instituted, to no purpose. On
Thursday, the search was renewed
Mr.. Keene and his groom going
about ten miles on the Guisborough
MOors, and then to Sleights, where
they heard the mare had crossed the
railway the previous morning. At
this point the trail was easy. The
mare had taken the high road home
wards, and at Saltersgate six men
tried to stop her, without avail. At
Pickering, she jumped a load Of
sticks and the railway gates, and
then found herself in her old hunt
ing country, making across Ryedale
for 'hOme.' In so doing, she would
have to cross two rivers and rail-
way. Mr.. Keene found her at home
on Thursday night, with one shoe
thrown and rather lame, but other
wise no worse for her cross-country
gallOP of nearly sixty miles, done in
one day; for her previous owner
found her on "Wednesday night
standing at the gate of the field
where she had graZed for two pre-
yiOus years.
THE POWER OF SYMPATHY
There is no class of sympathy which
is not humaniZed and liberalized, in
feelings and sentiments, by frequent
and friendly intercourse. We are
born to sympathiZe for each other
in pleasure as we'll as grief. The
social feelings arc improved when
amusements are participated in, in
common with our fellowmen; the
mind warns and expands, and be-
comes sensible to pleasures unknown
to him whose enjOyments are all but
solitary-whO confines all his inter
est and happiness and concern to
the narrow circle of his own selfish
ness. The soul becomes liberalized
and enlightened when mingling in
the society of others, and particular
~ Whcn sharlng IN their pleasures.
While, on the contrary, in solitude
the man becomes misanthropie and
selfish, contracted in his notions.
and filed with narrow prejudices.
One of the most eminent political
gentlemen OF the great West writes
as follows:
l believe that Tennessee held the
critical position that commanded
the result Ofthe Presidential con-
test, and that the timely and coura-
geOus endorsement of your State
Convention will be the signal for all
the Southern States to fall into line.
and will, mall probability deter
mine the Baltimare Convention to
do likewise.

The campaign has begun in earnest in
many places on the Liberal side. A
great meeting took place at jamestown,
New York. on the 21st instant. Senator
Trumbull arrived opportunely. and was
received most enthusiastically. Cannon
were fred to signalize his entrance into
the town. he addressed the immense
meeting for two hours in a powerful
argument in favor of the Liberal ticket.
Trumbull and Sohurz are no longer in
the cloud. Indeed, all the dissatisfied
have taken. their places. and the ball has
begun to roll. Baltimore will give it a
whirl that will clear the track, and rem
der vain and idle all opposition to its
progress.

Mr.. H.. Allen appeared before. the

On motion, the matter was referred
back to the members of the Board in

thrown against his premises by the
opening of the drain in the Davis alley
way, thereby creating q stencil, and
endangering the health Of his family,
and causing other inconveniences, not

alley-way. After the examination of
Messrs. German and Kinard, in opppsi-
ton to the removal of the d rt, al it is
in contemplation to lay down water
pipes through said alley way. when the
dirt will be needed, and after very ami

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AT THE SouTE.
According to carefully prepared stats
tics, says the New York Shipping List.
cotton can be manufactured where it
grows at from seventeen to twenty per
cent. less cost. when ready for market,
than in the factories of New England.
These are few Of the advantages which
invite capital and labor from the North
ern States and from Europe. To these
may be added the saving in transporta.
ton by the reduction Of cotton to net
weight as yarn, in damage to bales, in
dirt, and commissions and, profits Of
middle men. These would pay for the
cost of the more careful packing given
to yarn. and leave handsome profit. It
has been clearly shown that the items
mentioned make cotton cost the English
manufacturer nearly ten cents per pound
in currency. more than the planter re-
ceives for it. Weaving is separate
business from spinning, and requires
more skilled labor. To spin, however,
is very simple business. The South
could probably compete with the Eng
lish at once in spinning; in weaving she
could not. Yarns are recognized as
separate subject of commerce, and are
regularly quoted in market reports.
Those who have paid no attention to the
subject would be surprised in following
American cotton from the plantation to
England, and thence to its final con.
sumption, to learn how much of it goes
from England as yarn to all quarters of
the globe.

tirst determined to return, but on hear
ing that General Grant was still Presi-
dent of the United States. and that a
horrible new fashion had been int.c-
duced. in shape of the Dolly Warden,
said he didn't think he could stand
civilization under such circumstances,
but thought he could just take O short
trip up the country, about 1000 or
5000 miles, and TINS amuse himself

Grecley's Chances.

Now, that it is conceded on all hands,
that the Baltimore Convention will en-
dorse Greeley and Brown. by q large
majority, if not unanimous vote. it is
not uninteresting to run over the list Of
the States and speculate upon the RESULT
of the campaign. A great many Of, aAr
people are badly demoralized, and
though their hearts are with Greeley and
Brown, they seem to imagine that there
is no hope Of their struggling success.
fully with Grant, These faint:hearted
folks are depressed by the hopeless ap-
pearanoe of affairs in this State: They
should recollect that South Carolina is
''small potato in the electoral college.
Her little old seven votes, black as ink
Though every one be, cannot we'll give
even shadow of coloring to the 1874
necessary to elect the President.
Grant would have no such easily won
race as he did in 1868, even if he Ind
straight Democrat to contend against.
In that election not single Southern
State could be carried for the Demo
Gratis, on account of military interfer-
ence, and the wholesale disfranchise-
ment of the whites. Virginia and Texas
were not allowed to vote at all, as there
was no way to manipulate them for
Grant. He will now lose every South
ern State, except South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi, and, perhaps, Louisiana. The
rest-West Virginia. Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Arkansas. Texas and Tennesseo--are all
sure for Greeley and Brown, though not
one of them counted for Seymour and
Blair in 1868.
The States which may be called GER
tain for Greeley and Brown are as fol-
lows:
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-06-27

If Grant carried every one OF these,
he would still be defeated; but the pro-
liabilities are vastly in favor of Greeley
and Brown in California. New Hamp-
shire and Pennsylvania. California was
carried by the Democrats the election
before the last by handsome majority,
and last year by only 500 votes, on
account of an unpopular candidate for
Governor and Wholesale frauds per-
petrated by the Government officials.
If Greeley and Brown discover the
slightest Republican strength there. and
it is reasonable to suppose that they will,
the State will be lost to Grant. New
Hampshire, in straight Democratic and
Republican contests. fuotnates Arst from
one side to the other, and with the de.
feotion of the Greeley Republicans, who
are said not to be insignificant in that
State, and Grants waning popularity,
the chances are two to one that Greeley
and Brown receive the electoral vote OF
the State. In Pennsylvania Greeley has
greater strength than in any other State.
except New York. This, together with
the widespread dissatisfaction among
the Republicans at the nomination of
Hartranft, thrust upon the party by the
corrupt Cameron ring, and the admirable
selection which the Democrats have
made In ex-senator Buokalew for Co.
vernon, holds ont most encouraging
prospect that Pennsylvanis, too, may
como in with her twenty.nine votes for
che honest old farmer Of Chappaqua.
There never has been better prospect
for any Presidential candidates than
there is now for Greeley and Brown. All

SUMMARY PUNISHMENT OF NEGRO
WRETcH.-The Haekinsville (Ga.) Dis.
patch has long account of the pursuit,
capture, escape, recapture, and final fate
OF the negro, Joe Phillips, who outraged
Mrs. Charlton Lovett, of Pulaski County,
last Thursday week. After great effort
the negro was finally captured and taken
to Hawkinsville, reaching there Friday
night. The Dispatch tells the rest of
the story as follows:
On Saturday afternoon, citizens OF
the district in which the crime was COM
mitted, called for the prisoner, and he
was turned over to them by Sheriff Full
ghum. He was to be taken before the
magistrate OF the district in which he
lived, and there stand a commitment
trial. The party having him in charge
had proceeded as far as Big Greek bridge,
where large number of citizens-said
to be from rs to 200, from various parts
Of the County-had gathered. Next
morning, Joe Phillips was found hang.
ing to an oak limb a few feet from the
road. He had suffered the penalty of
his crime. The punishment was sum-
mary, it is true, but none can say it was
unmerited. He was more brute than
human, for be it known that but few
years ago he was severely whipped in
the same neighborhood for attempting
to commit similar crime upon another
person. His mother, too, on learning
OF his death tho same day, rejoiced. for
she entered her evidence against him as
most unnatural being. Large numbers
OF negroes from the surrounding coun.
try visited the scene on Sunday, and be.
held him suspended as left the night
previous. they murmured not O word,
for they deemed the punishment just.

Weak Food ror tho Pablio,

Namely, that contained in an adver-
tisement of yesterdays issue, saying that
vehicles made here are ''superior in ma
terial and durability to those manufac.
tured in Northern markets, and sold by
dealers only" The number of persons
must be very small who do not know
that nearly all carriage material used
here is, made in the North. and it is
questionable if the carriage manufac
turer lives who sells to "dealers only"
but it is fact that many of the best
carriage manufactures in existence are
sustained mainly by the patronage of
dealers; and it is also fact that some of
the beat, products OF the best nlanufac-
turers are kept in stock and sold by
dealer in this market. In an effort to
supply tho varied wants of purchasers
of vehicles, reference must be had to
the amount that customers can or will

OF deep researches into ancient lore an
