An Inexperienced Observer sends TIE

Liverpool vas 6l25 bags, against 6s72 In 1871,
and that, up to that date, only 1910 bags had
been taken for consumption, against ID .74O IN
the preceding year, showing that the spinners
are waiting for that enormous crop" OF 1872
which they will not get. He says:

attention has been drawn to review IN tne
Rural CarolInian for September, as follows:

Hon. George n. Robson, secretary OF the
navy, q specimen Of the cotton staple grown
I'm the Island Of Tahiti. The staple was of such
unusnallengtha and fneness, that the three COM
missiohers at once wrote to Hon. D0Vance
Atwater, our consnfat Tahiti, requesting him
to procure from two to five bushels OF the
seed for experimental purposes In the extreme
Southern or Gulf States. Secretary Robson,
in his letter transmitting the sample OF cotton,

million pounds Of the cotton were sold In
France at one dollar per pound. About Blk
bushels of this seed were received from MT.
Atwater last spring, and five bushels OF 1t
were at once forwarded, In packages OF one
peck, each, to leading cotton growers OF the
Sousb. The remainder, about one bushel, was

quantity at the price stated, the sea Island

corn or produce or other edlbles, and wholly
depend on the precarlous cotton, paying

THE RIp4E RADICAL TICKETS.

from the Anderson Intelligencer.]
The proceedings of the Radical State Con.
V~endOn.and, the Reform Radicals are given
elsewhere In our columns. The two conven.
lions put forth full tickets, neither OF which
can we. endorse or recommend to the white
people,.
Il would be folly for us to nominate q State
ticket: but it would be madness If We too has
tily gave our adhesion to either of the wings
Of the Republican party, as represented IN
either ticket. The Democratic voters In the
STATE now hold, the balance Of power In their
handa,f they will stand united aud unwaVer-
ing In nsing 1t. But we must look TO the Leg.
isiature and our county officers for most OF
the reform needed. As In the State so In the
county-wemuss hold ourselves together and
present an unbroken front, demanding q re-
Cogniton Of our rights and interests IN these
positions.
From the Lsurens Herald.l
Wa can see but little hope of reform by the
Splic IN the late Republican Convention at Co.
lumbia. Both parties promise reform, but
such pledges from political factions are slen-
der threads upon which "a TOO to epps pen tho A nnSIYs
hone to find q pure grain Of honesty :. Tom
Unson, at the head of the Orr ticket, can hard
" cat the support Of the Conservative voters
ar the State. Both factions claim to be out
and-oat Republicans, and declare for Grant.
We never had, from the beginning, any con,
hdence in the bolt-never thought It would
amount to alS good to the honest classes. he
who hopes other than this In the present In
stance, In our judgment, hugs q false dolu-
sioa..Eet every honest man IN the state,

cal tickets, and at least await future develop

TIME Is PASSING.

Time is rushing In his chariot;
Rapidly his wheels go round;
Though they cast no dust behind them,
Though they have no rumbling sound,
Silently they bear us onward
Soon our journey will be Ger;
Soon the friends with whom we mingle
We shall see and hear no more;
Soon our feet shall press the meadows
OF the vast eternal shore.
Flying months and years remind US
OF the world were speeding 70,
Let us leave good deeds behind us,
In the world we're passing through.
Which shall be the seed of Kindness,
Watered by celestial dew,
And shall bear good fruits for others
Fruits of joy, and peace, and love
Years long after we are singing
In the immortal land above.
Men are born and men are dying,
Thousands come, not one to stay;
Time is swift, his wheels are flying,
Never ceasing night or day,
For the laughter, nor the crying,
OF the stricken or the gas;
Crushing down the G God defyfng-
They who laugh at deaths delay
And from sorrow, sin and signing,
Bearing gentle souls away.
Plans and schemes of men and nations,
Heart and homes and homesteads free,
Granite walls and arts creations
All the eyes delight to see,
AL the eSr delights in hearing
Crumble, tumble, fall and fade.
Oh! we need a world more cheering
Free from graves and cypress shade;
Thanks to God that world we're nearing,
In eternal saphircs laid.

Mr. BARNUM S GIRAFFE The giraffe
in MIR. Barnums S menagerie shsws won
derful affection for its keeper. 1t will
allow no other 10 handle it, and it grows
nervous and uneasy whenever the young
man is away from lis side The keeper
ever has to sleep in the cage with the gi-
raife. 1t is a handsome cage, and in one
end of it the young man has lis bunk.
When tho giraffe is lying down, its head
nestles close to that of its keeper, and thus
the two slumber lovingly side by side
Tie young man has had charge only since
it landed in this country, some six weeks
ago. Ii is a male, three years old and
as the female, which started with it, was
lost in the voyage across the Atlantic, the
affection orce reserved for the dead mate
seems to have been transferred TO the man
who first received and caressed it on the
vessel arrival at New York. The giraffe
must naturally be of an affectionate dis
position or it would scarcely have become
so fond of a human being in SO short
time after leaving its native wilis.

thud Of the wheels along the rails =
Many sleeper turned to listen mo-
ment, and then forgot that there was
anything passing strange until afterward.
A flaw in the iron Who knew that
it was there! Hidden away in the
Heart of it, flaw. Did the workmen
who cast the wheel know il? Did the
great manufacturer know, when the car
wheels were made out of that iron, that
it ought not to be used for such pur-
pose? Did he, to build up his own for
tune, thus risk the life ef his fslorssi
.S3nae6ooly was in fault. Possibly it was
the man whose duty it was to examine
every wheel of that train. Because the
night was cold, and the cars many, and
his ears we'll mufiled, and he was tired.
did he pass t!at one by! Possibly it was
the contractor, or the president, or the
poorest employee Oh the road. Some
body was TO blams, and of that man,
whoever be may be, the voice of the
Lord God was asking, "Where is thy
brother !''
Mrs. Dee turned the gasiew and looked
out upon the night. Something in it
mado her very soul shiver. and she turned
it for warmth toward Heaven, asking,
what of blessing for her husband, she
knew not. She saw through the dim
light. when she arose. the sweet face ef
Mary, asleep on her husbands pillow
1t made her think of that other Iitile
face, asleep somewhere, under the light
of a thankful mothers love, and she went
TO sleep with blessings in her heart for
her noble husband.
The broken wheel, the treacherous
axle, whatever it was, executes its fearful
errand. There is a rumblng thud, a
corner of the car touches the earth i,
breaks up and Fl Is the way; Others,
forced along, all piled on it, until a, last
both tracks are numbered with wreck.
Frank Dee is all alert. 1t is place
where accidents have been in time past,
and he looks carefully out for the small
est signal of danger, but. all is well
white lights stream through the moOnlit
air, and on he goes.
Suddenly. like red hot ball hot from
a cannon's mouth in time of peace, comes
a blood>red glare upon the track. The
ngineer's hand flew to the lever; the
whistle sounded for the brakes, and 6
voice cried out from the rear, Jump
Frank, jump" But something held the
engine driver to his post, and no mar
knoweth, or dreameth, or imaginsih, how
he passed into that aagelhood Of which
he tho1ght but span of time ago. DowI
below the cold black waters, we knuH
that angel hands ministered to brav,
Frank Dee and caught his expiring tho Il
from the wreck of ruin, even as he, witt
his human hands, bad caught the fair
haired Child from the crush of death tha
day.
In the little house up town there is sucl
sorrow as God alone can still. We dare
not go near it with word or thought. Oml
this one thing we know, for sorrows sci
taught the truth, that AS the days 60 al
and the wife and children live out thci
time, sweeter and sweeter will grow th
thought that the ergine driver went int
Future thrsugh the gateway of duty.

ANTITRUST RAILROAD CARs.-On Satur.
day afternoon, says the Philadelphia Rec.
ord, an anti-dust experiment was made on
the fast 2 o'clock express cars to Atlantic
City There were ten well. filled trains in
the train, each having canvas apron on
both sides, covering the spaces between it
and the rails. The end Of these aprons
Tapped, thus forming continuous canvas from
one end Of the train to the other. On part
of the trip the speed attained was about forty
miles per hour. There was not the least
particle Of dust in the first seven cars, but
there appeared to be something like dust in
the eighth, ninth and tenth cars, but not
enough to show on the garments of the pas
sengers. H.. . e., ->.-...
