Political Intolerance.

We are in favor of the utmost
freedom Of thought and action in
political matters. We accord this
privilege to others, and claim it
for ourselves. We have already
signiied our willingness to work
with any class Of men who honest
ly favor a reform in our State
Government. We are willing to
do so without questioning the
motives of those who differ from
US with regard to the means to
accomplish this end. In reading
newspapers published in different
sections ofthe Union, representing
every shade Of political opinion,
we have been struck with the
intolerance, more or less, Of diffe-
rent parties.
For instance, in Georgia, Ken
lucky and other States which are
strongly Democratic, are many
Democrats, meI of prominence,
too, who can not tolerate the idea
of a Democrat voting for Greely
and Brown, or Of the National
Democratic Convention endorsing
their nomination. On the other
hand, in some strongly Radical
States, the Republicans who join
the Liberal Republican movement
are ostracized by the balance Of
their party, But Of all the intole-
rance we know, that Of the few
South Carolina Democrats who
have gone over to the ultra or
Grant wing Of the Republican
party, towards those who refuse
to do so, is the most senseless.
Language Of general denunciation
| towards those with whom they
have until very recently been
politically associated, comes with
peculiarly bad grace from them.
Unwonted zeal is, however, said
to be characteristic Of recent con-
verts to any doctrine. For ourself
we are willing to give the credit
of honesty ofopinion even to those
who say they have joined the
ultra Radical party ofSouth Caro-
lima, with a view to reforming 1t
1t is, however, not our way Of
thinking, nor to Our taste. Yirgi.
MIA, Missouri, and some other
Southern States, have beenredeem
ed from Radical rule and ruin by
liberal or conservative movements
Not one has been redeemed by
reform within the Radical party
itself. Neither have honest peo
pie thought it best in any Other
State to unite themselves with
the party Of opposition and cor
ruption for the purpose Of control
ling its action. This novel expert
ment is reserved for South Caro-
lima. should we follow the teaching
of those who have heretofore offe
red it as their excuse for goins
over to the Radical camp.

A Heidelberg letter-writer, speak
ing Of the ability Of the German stu
dents to consume beer, says:
"a few evenings ago, one Of the
Corps were drinking at their club
house, and one of the members came
in as the clock was about to strike y,
and bet that he could take twelve
glasses Of beer during the twelve
Strokes of the clock. Accordingly,
the beer was laid before him, and
much to the astonishment of even the
students themselves, he did. The
same evening, one Of the students
drank 100 glasses Of beer on bet
and was hardly affected at all by it.
These are really wonderful things te
do, when you consider that one ot
these glasses contains almost two pint:

REFORMATION OF THE WORKING Glass
EST has been suggested, speaking Of
the great need of reforming the working
classes, that the non-workers need re-
forming more; and, could they be made
to earn their living, they would be re-
formed indeed. 1t is because the work
ing bees have to support so many drones,
Of various kinds, that is so terribly hard
for them. The number of real produc-
ing men is very small indeed, compared
with the entire mass of mankind; and
sometimes five hundred persons labor
for mere subsistence, in order that one
family of five persons may wear purple
and fine linen, and fare sumptuously
every day. Let the work Of reformation
begin at the top, and come downward.

A MAN AND WOMAN PERFORM THE
DOUBLE TRAPEZE HALF A MILE
HIGH.
J. E. Warner, of the Great Pa
cifc combination, is the restless
and enterprising manager of some
thirty y-eight summers, who mod
estly hides behind a big diamond
breastpin, and is not satisfied with
owning the biggest elephant and
the only two-horned rhinocerous
on this continent, with thirty Ca
ges of wild beasts, a museum and
splendid circus, exhibited under
ten different pa7ilions, but is dy-
ing to give the people more Of the
good thing for fifty cents. War
ner has actually persuaded a young
and beautiful spanish girl, named
Leona Dare, who does marvellous
feats upon the trapeze in the cir
Gus. to make balloon ascensions.
The trial trip was made on Thurs
day morning at a point Of
about nine miles southeast Of
our city. The balloon was duly
inflated, and at a quarter to eight
was cut loose, and the fne-formed
Leona, in circus clothes, dangling
downward from the trapeze bar,
holding in her teeth a strap which
encircled the waist Of Tommy
Hall, her companion for her first
voyage in the air, left terra frma.
Everything was still as death, and
it was observed that Hall weak
ened a little; but the plucky
"Queen Of the Antilles" was per-
fectly cool. Just as soon as they
left the earth Leona commenced
spinning Hall around until it
made US giddy. After this per-
formance, and about three hun
dred feet in the air, they COM
menced their hifalutin perform
ances, known in show language as
the double trapeze, and almost
everybody who has attended the
circus can imagine much better
than we can describe their various
evolutions and gyrations. They
performed all of the difficult and
hazardous feats at an altitude Of q
half-mile with the same reckless
daring that characterizes their
performances under the pavilion,
where, if they were to tumble,
their fall would not exceed thirty
feet. Up, up, they went, until
| they we're scarcely larger than
our hands, and when we looked at
them through a glass, provided
for the occasion, we breathed free,
and felt relief to see that they
had climbed upon their trapeze
bar, and were apparently enjoy
ing a tete-a-tete while resting
from their exciting and perilous
exercises. The balloon descended
very rapidly, and landed about a
halfmile from the starting point
in an open field, and our party
rode up in time to witness their
alighting. Hall was silent and
sober, while Leona laughingly
said to Warner: "How was that
for high ?" Warner, the satisfied
manager, smiled, and expressed
his approval Of the trip, and wink
ing slyly at US, as much as to say,
Il have the trick now that will
make opposition take a back seat"

She was disposed to be as accom-.
modating as circumstances would
admit of. Sometime during the
night the party came in. By day
light we were up making prepa-
rations to start. Pretty soon
breakfast was announced. While
at the breakfast table each one was
recounting his adventures at
length a youngster by the name
of Lane, ambitious of reciting his
exploits, and particularly precise
in regard to language and gram
mar, spoke up and said: Gas l
was riding dads gray mare up
the gum slash last Tuesday, I seed
a deer. It war fred or fredew.
I raised my rife; at the crack of
the guns it kinder changed eends

stirring his coffee, which attract
ing the attention Of our hostess,
she observed "Mr. Lane, will you
take a lcetle more SUGAR. ayes,
marm," replied he, "a small por-
tion, Mrs. Migely: if you please" !"
So he sugared up and went on.
Coming along back we paid a
visit to the hone stone factory.
Here they manufacture whet-
stones from a stone dug out Of a
quarry, some two miles off. They
make them off all sizes. AS re-
CARDS their superiority we would
not pretend to say, otherwise that
they may be good for knives, but
hardly fine enough for razors.-
The manufacturers ask,as they say
out here, "fearful prices"
Hot springs is not without its
scenery. Mountain peaks tower
up all around. The highest is
sUMpTER PEAK.
You can commence the ascent
in the rear Of the Sumpter House,
and Chamber up the mountain side,
over myriads of broken rocks that
ecpeor have been thrown here
by some mighty con7ulsion Of ma
ture. 1t is no mighty peak tow
ering up for miles but sufficiently
high to command fair view of
the surrounding country. At its
base flows Hot Springs Creek.
There you have a panoramic view
Of the village.
Bright CLEANS are scattered from the thou
sand rils,
And a soft visionary hue is born
On the young foliage worn,
By all the embosom'd woods-a silvery
green,
Made up of Spring and dew, harmoniously
serene.
By-the-by, they use words here
as we'll as elsewhere, for Instance,
you will hear a fellow say,
ITS FEARFUL,

rainy-fearful cold-fearful high
till you feel fearfully worried st
such fearful remarks.
