HAVE YOY ever observed that persons
having most need of dictionary con-
suit 1t least? On the contrary, the
most cultivated and scholarly have o

The reason, of course, Is, that ordinary
people are indifferent 10 verbal dis
tinctions and the nice use of language,
while the thoroughly educated under
stand that words are things, and of in

NEVER TEACH FALSE MORALITY
How exquisitely absurd to teach girl
that beauty is of no use. Beauty is OF
value-her whole prospects and happi-
ness in life may often depend upon q
new gown or becoming bonnet; If
she has five grains of common sense,
she will find this out. The great thing
is to teach her their just value, and
that there must be something better
under the bonnet than a pretty face,
for real happiness. But never sacrifice
truth.--Sioney Smith.

THE SOLICITORSHIP OF THE FIRST
JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
IN THE EDITOR OF TIE NEWS.


In the card of G. G. Bowen, published IN
YOUR mornings Issue, find the following
s.They (meaning Bowen's delegation) invited
the Orangebure delegation to meet them at
the Ststehouse, aud unanimously nominated
L. C. Northrop for the solicitor for the circuit"
IfMr. Bowen means to say that the Orangeourg
delegation met with his delegation, or particl-
pated with or took any part whatever In nomi-
mating Mr.. Northrop, he asserts what ne ought
to know is not true. as they did not do any
such thing. The community we'll knows tnat
this judicial circuit ia composed OF the coun'
ties of Orangeburg and Charleston. In the
convention 0rangeburg had i've delegates, and
this county eighteen. The County of Orange
burg sent three sets of delegates to Columbia,
one for State, one for Congressional, and the
other for Circuit Convention. There were no
contestants from Orangeburg; the party IS
united In that county, 80 they had the right TO
determine with which Of the two delegations
from Charleston County they would meet, the
same as Barnwell and Colleton counties de-
clded which OF the two delegations they would
meet with from Beaufort and Charleston coun-
ties In the Congressional Convention. The
delegation headed by Colonel Mackey, from
this county, was admitted into the State and
Solicitors Convention, and Mr.. Bowen's dele
CATION in the Congressional Convention. Mr.
Northrop, and all others who run against me
for solicitor, as Republicans, are simply inde-
pendent candidates, occupying the sane POSI-
ton that Republican would If he should an
nounce himself as q candidate for Congress
against Mr.. Ransler, who received the regular
nominations; however, 1 do not Wish to be
elected by default, and, therefore, hope hr.
Northrop, Mr.. ]. G. Mackey, and as many
others as can afford 10 be defeated, willremain
candidates.

SUDDEN DEATK.-About seven O'Clock, on
Tuesday evening, Mr.. c. Gerkin, respectable
German citizen, fell down In flt at the cor.
ner OF Vanderhorst and King streets, while on
his way home from business. A crowd Of
persons collected Immediately, and some Of
the more thoughtful endeavored to relieve the
sufferer by applying such restoratives as were
at hand. Every effort failed, however, 10
arouse him. Lieutenant Heidt, of the Detect
i've force, happening to be near, summoned
passing vehicle and sent him to his home, at
the corner OF Morris and Smith streets. DR..
Lockwood was sent for, and, on arriving. pro-
nounced MIR. Gerkin to bs laborIng under a
stroke of apoplexy. He died about an hour
after reaching home. The deceased was for q
long time baker, In Morris street, but was
more recently member of the night police
force under the present city administration.
At the time of his death he was employed In o
bakery on King street near Calhoun.

COTTON IN EAST FLORIDA.

An east Floeids correspondent Of the Savau-
nah News writes under date Of the 24th Inst:
s'Almost every plantation In this section of
the country has more or less cotton caterpil-
lars upon, it evidently awaiting marching or
ders, for they seem to be resting for the
great raid We have brought ourselves to
look upon them as we would upon fever
we cannot avert. The last raid thew made
upon US was about l7Lh August, 1869. "A helf
crop was not made that season, except In very
early cotton. The crop was more forward then
than now, and had shed less of lis truIt. So
you see the threatening aspect of the caternil-
lar makes the prospect of the planter gloomy
indeed In this section"

THE JOHNSON INQUEST.
The Plea OF AceIdent-Thc Murderer
Lunatic-The Verdtct.


The Jury empanelled to Investigate tne cir'
stances connected with the murder OF Jonn
Johnson at Rlkersville on Sunday afternoon'
met at ten A. N. yesterday at the coroners
office Four witnesses were examined; the
wife Of the murdered man, his uncle, 'onn
Washington, Rhina Gall, wife Of the murder
or. and Edward Marshall. The testimony
went 10 establish the fact that johnson was
shot ia struggle, resulting from an attempt
on his part to take pistol away from aaii
Gail told John Washington Immediately aitef
the shooting that the pistol had gone on ac-
c;aanta,lv Washington was not an eye-wit-
ness. but heard the report OF the pistol ~nie
sliting 10 his house near BY. He testineo tna'
Johnson was drunk when the shootlng oc-
Cured: also that he was In the habit OF gettlng
drunk, and was usually qnarrelsome Whiie III
that condition. Rhlna Gall testified tnat
simon Gall was leaning against the chimney
of his house, when Johnson approached ana
mt bis hand Into the pocket Of Gail, which
contained the pistol. She did not see the pis-
tol drawn from the pocket.
The testimony of the other Witnesses was
unimportant. All agreed that Gal! is suo)ect
to fits Of Temporary insanity. He was sent 70
the Lunatlc Asylum at Columbia during the
summer OF 1871, but after short stay escaped
and returned to Charleston. He was narm-
lcss, unless molested. No previous difficulty
had occurred between the two men; In TACT
they were represented as always having been
good friends. The jury rendered verdict
to the effect that Gall, while 10 dt OF tempo
rary insanity, had shot and killed johnson.
The prisoner was committed to jail tor trial at
the next term of the General Sessions Court.
He will be Immediately examined by several
competent physicians In order to ascertain
his mental condition.
