Unto this Last.

Two days ago the State Lunati'
Asylum in Columbia, in which there
were two hundred and ninety-fiv'
patients at thcdate Of the last report
was absolutely without provisions
and the superintendent was indebted
to the charity Of a private citizen tol
the means Of feeding the afflicted
creatures under his charge. The
Legislature appropriated, ut its las,
session, sum of eighty thousand
dollars for the support Of the Asylum
and the taxes levied, last year, were
sutfi ,ent to pay every honest claim
against the State. A State tax o.
seven mills on the dollar, amounting
to over a million dollars, fell due or
he 18th of January last; and was
promptly paid, and since that time
a large sum has been obtained, under
the operation Of the license law. Yet
there is not O dollar in the State
Treasury for the public institution:
which have the strongest claims upor
ths people. The Lunatic Asylum i!
without credit and without supplies
The State Penitentiary is so hare
pressed that the superintendent has
applied for q writ of mandamus tt

the drafts made upon him. The Dea
and Dumb Asylum is about to b.
closed Nearly all the free schools in
the State suspended operations or
May Day. Although three or fou
million dollars were wrung from th'
people in little more than twelve
months, and although millions have
been added to the capital of the pub
lie debt. the treasury is empty, anc
not cent can be extracted from it
however urgent the demand. 1t il
idle to attribute this to Democratic
Misrepresentation. The people know
in the North as we'll as the South
that the financial aspyhxia is the re
suit Of the extravaganza and corrup
ton Of the Scott administrations

Views OF THE ORGAN of the DEMO
cRRrs IN CONGRESS- The Republican
organization has already been shattered
to the GENRE by the Cincinnati move
ment, and this nomination will com.
plete the work of destruction. For O
long time editor Of the leading Repubi-
can Journal and editing it with power,
viyor and intreepidity such as none of
his party associates could pretend to
match, Mr.. Grceley's name has become
household word among the Republi-
cans. He built up in a great measure
the party of whom General Grants now
the beneficiary. His admitted integrity,
outspoken frankness, habits of indie
pendence, and moral courage, and even
his little personal peculiarities, however
curious have given him an individual
popularity such as General Grant never,
even in his palmy days, possessed. The
nomination BODIES no good, therefore to
the Ring candidate at the Philadelphia
Convention.
The Democratic National committee
will meet in New York on Wednesday
next to determine upon the time and
place of holding the National Demo
cratic Convention. This convention.
| Will DC composed OF the WlSeSt, aDiest
best and most patriotic men OF the party

wish of the great Democratic heart. it

pie such candidates as will command

+ UNACCoUNTABLE PHENoMANA AT A
PARTY.-Thc following story is told of a
young lady and gentleman at a fash
ionable party i'm Nashyille: .' .
THE young man was handsome and
happy, the young lady arrayed in Law,
ender, rose, &C., with gold powdered
hair flowing over her swan-like neck.
Finding the heat of the room too much
for them, they sought the cool shade OF
an arbor, where they might listen to
the fountains fall. The music rose and
fell, time flew on silver pinions, anu
after an absence Of at least an hour, our
young friends re-entered the brilliantly,
| illuminated parlors. The lady passed
on in the dance, but the young man
was slightly taken aback by his next
neighbor informing him that round his
neck was the unmistakeable print O1
two arms in chalk and diamond dust, or
one shoulder large pile of yellow pow
der, and on his upper lip and cheel'
diamond dust, bloom of youth, and yel
low powder mixed up generally. The
lady's hair was observed to be severa
shades paler. 49,. -....

JENKINS IN TEXAs.-Married, several
days since, at the shanty of the bride
Miss Emily Norton, free woman of color
to Mr.. Edward Rickett, "plain"-the
service being performed by the Rev
Mr.. Haywood, colored.
The beautiful and accomplished bride
is fair, fat and fifty-about the color of q

tallow, and is one Of the best washers
and ironers OH Acquia street. The gal
liant groom Is a pure Caucasian, an
American-born gentle--drives a govern.
ment team with great ease. ...;.....
The only bridesmaid on the felicitous
occasion was old Aunt Malinda Hawkins
wife of old Uncle Isaac, sometimes
called Dr. Isaac. Being taken by sur.
prise, Aunt Malinda left her wash-tut
and proceeded directly to the altar. She
was dressed sans stockings, sans one
shoe, with rope tied around her hips
which held her skirts high above the
Itloor-she was the admired of all ad
milers. The ceremony was quite pri
vate and family affair. -.
And very little change was noticed il
the household; in fact, the parties hat
been just as intimate as could be for ,
long time, but the bride was not happy
sleep came not to her eyelids, her meals
were not enjoyed, apd "thinkin' owe
the way she was doin'," used more soal

FREE TEA AND CoFFEE.-The c bill ab6l-
isbing the duty on tea and coffee has
become law. It goes into effect July l,
and makes all tea and coffee in bond ct
that date all free. Though the reduction
in the cost of tea and coffee which must
follow taking off the duty will be ac-
ceptablc to the whole community, for
every uses these articles, 1t will not 20
far to cheaper living. This Is but a
short step in the way of necessary rev.
enue reform. There are many duties
and taxes that press more heavily upon
the people and the industry of the
country that ought to be removed. AS
tea and coffee are. foreign productions
entirely, there was no Protectionist
opposition to abolishing the duty. In
deed, the Protectionist favored the bill
because q reduction in tn, revenue nom
these articles, involving yearly loss
of $l9,00G,00 to the treasury, would
give them an argument for maintaining
high duties on others in order to raise
sufficient income for the government.

BYW A. LEE AND HUGH WILSON.
A Wife's Appeal

Come rouse thee, dearest-'tls not well
To let the spirit brood
Thus darkty DER the cares that swell
Life's current to flood
AS brooks, and torrents, rivers, all,
Increase the gulf in which they fall,
Such thoughts, by gathering up the rills
OF lesser griefs, spread real ills;
And with their gloomy shades conceal
The landmarks hope would else reveal
Come. rSuse thee now-I know thy
mind,
And would its strength awaken;
Proud, gifted, noble, ardent, kind =
Strange thou sh0uld'st be thus shaken
But rouse afresh each energy
And be what Heaven intended thee;
Throw from thoughts this wearying
weight,
And prove thy spirit firmly great,
I would not see thee bend below
The angry storms of earthly woe.
Full well know the generous soul
Which warns thee into life;
Each spring which can its powers con-
troll
Familiar to thy wife;
For deem'st thou she couldstoopto bind?
The eagle-like ambition nursed
From childhood in her heart had first
Consumed with its Promethean flame
The shrine, than sank her so to shame.
Then rouse thee, dearest! from the
dream,
That falters now thy powers
Shake off this gloom-Hope sheds a
beam,
To grid each cloud which lowers;
And though at present seems so fur
The goal, the guiding star,
With peaceful ray would light thee on,
Until it's utmost bounds be won:
That quenchless ray thourt ever prove,
In fond, undying welded love!

will preserve their organization intact
and act as Il body. With the lights
before us we do not doubt that when in
National Convention assembled they
will take such action as will lead to the
defeat of Grant and the election of the
ticket presented at Cincinnati. AS
between Grant and wilson, of Massa-
chusetts, and Greeley and Brown, there
can be for the Democracy but one choice.

BRIGHAM AND HIS DAUGHTERS
Brigham has G8 children, about 40 oil
whom are female. They are of all ages,
from three years to thirty. He is the
father Of good deal of talent, and some
of the children will be heard of in the
world hereafter. Last night, at the
theatre, was particularly struck with
the good, 1 might say superb, acting OF
q young looking lady, and learned that
she was a daughter of Brigham and one
of the five wives of II. B. ClawsOn.
The latter being man Of wealth and
standing, and devoted Mormon. has
married two of Brigham's daughters,
in addition to his other three wives.
Isn't that curious way to do? 1t GER
taiuly is to us Gentiles; but to the
Mornons it is all perfectly correct and
proper. In several of the States a man
is prohibited from marrying his dead
wile's sister, but hcre in Utah it is much
the style TO marry two sisters at once,
besides having several other wives.
Many of Brigham's children are hand
some and loveable. These by one of his
wives, Mrs. Decker, are particularly so.
He provides well for his numerous sons
in-law, and takes great pleasure in see
ing his children we'll married off and
happy, if there can be any happiness in
the Mormon married state, which /
doubt. A marriage takes place in his
family now very often, as his numerous
flock are rapidly maturing. One of his
daughters married last Saturday. |
hear of one who had run away to marry,
Brigham being opposed to the match
because the young man who loved his
daughter also loved lager beer. Brigham
tried to break Off the match and keep
his daughter at home, but his home has
so many doors to it that he could not
watch at them all at once, and she got
away. II this teaches any moral at all
it is to have fewer daughters or fewer
doors.

IMPROVEMENT IN FARMERS. The
Mark Lane Erpress in an article on far
mers associations, says: "There is
nothing more noticeable when review
ing the progress of Agriculture during
the last quarter of a century than the
improvement which has, characterized
the conduct of our public meetings or
social gatherings. There was a time
when the long clay pipe, the somewhat
boisterous stave, and the "hot stopping"
were regarded as the chief inducements
for getting farmers together. But these
days have gradually passed away, and
with some experience of other large as
sembles, we are inclined to think that
nowhere will men as rule keep closer
to the point or carry themselves more
.becomingly than occupiers of land when
they draw into focus at a Society's
show or Clubs discussion; More in-
formation has been disseminated, more
intelligence developed by such means
than through any other cause which
could be spoken to. Blythe further aid
of good reliable report this system of
a mutual advantage comes to be almost
infinitely extended. Many man who
would fight shy of regular essay, al
though he found the pages ready, ,"cut"
to his hand, will eagerly turn to see
what his next door neighbor had to say,
or famous agriculturist to offer on the
merits of the principle under considers
