tained sensational article, which was
followed by tho following, yesterday:
The informal examination of Carter
lasted until late. or rather early in the
morning yesterday, and resulted in the
commitment of the prisoner to Richland
County Jail. On the way thither he as
serted that he had been made dupe of
others who were acting as his accom-
plices ia the matter. Telegrams have
settled the matter beyond doubt that the
conspiracy was pretty we'll planned, but
very poorly carried out. That Carter
should have successfully passed himself
off on the Charleston people as secret
service agent, 10 somewhat astonishing.
The Court OF General Sessions oonvenes
next week. and the e-pullers' case
will, doubtless, prove one of the most
interesting. The following is the affida-
vit in the warrant made by the Secre.
tary Of the State Central Committee,
upon which Trial Justice Richmond
committed Carter at about 2 O'Clock yes
terday morning, he having waived an
examination, and being unable to fur.
nish the 81 900 bail required, viz:

lawfully and falsely, make, or assist in

A bet is said to he FOOLS argumen mt.
which, if true, clearly establishes the
fact that there arc great many foolish
people yet to be found in the busy, bust
ling world around us. Now, whatever
may be said Of the Hon. John Morrissey,
OF New York, no one ever char ged him
with being o fool, Notwithstanding the
fact that he loves betting es dearly as q
fish loves water. He recently passed q
few hours in Philadelphia, and while in
that quiet and highly moral city INDUCED
IN his fayorite pastime, in manner that
plainly indicated that he had plenty of
cash and confidence to invest in the cleo
tion of Buckalew. Among the bets made
by him on Monday last were So, 900 to
$4,000 that Buckalew will be elected
Governor; $1,000 to $4,000 on the same
result; $1,000 to $1,000 that Buck alew
will get $500 majority outside of Phila-
delphia, and $1,000 to $3.50 that Har-
tranft won't get 10000 majority in the
State. The Hon. John also offered to
bet IS, 900 that he would continue to bet
at the above odds up to the day of elec-
tion-no takers. The Hon. John, We
believe, has returned to his humble home
in Gotham, awaiting "tho good time
coming" which is expected on Wednes.
day morning next. when he will bo called
upon to bag the superabundant cash so
rocklessly risked by the Radicals.

PRIVATE REPRooF OF CHILDREN.
badly most parents, even kindly ones,
would be little startled at the assertion
that q child ought never to be reproved
in the presence OF others. This is go
constant on occurrence that nobody
thinks Of considering whether it be
right and best, or not. But it is great
rudeness to child. am entirely sure
that it ought never to be done. Iortif-
cation is condition as unwholesome as
it is uncomfortable. When the wound
is inflicted by the hand OF a parent, it is
all the more certain to rankle and do
harm. Let child sec that his mother
is 30 anxious that he should have the an
probation and good will of her friend
that she will not call their attention to
his faults, and that while she only, under
any circumstances, allows herself to tell
him afterward alone, if he has behaved
improperly, she will spare him the addi-
tional pain and modification Of public
reproof; and, while that child will lay
those secret reproofs to heart, he will
still be happy. I know mother who
had the insight to see this, and the
P$eASdS0 w IoAO ~ u lulCy 4OI ~ LuhGS
far more patience, far more time, than
the common method. She said some
times to her little boy, after callers had
left the parlor: ''Now, dear, am going
to be your little girl and you are to he
my papa, and we will play that gentle
man has just come in to see you, and I
will show you exactly how you have been
behaving while this lady has been calling
on me, and you can see if you do not
feel very sorry to have our little girl
| behave So"
| Here Is dramatic representation ut
once, which that boy does not need to
see repeated many times before he is for
ever cured of interrupting, of pulling
his mothers gown, of drumming on the
piano, etc., of the thousand and one
things which able. bodied children can
do to make social visiting, whore they
are, martyrdom and penance. When
we consider seriously what ought to be
the nature Of reproof from parent to
q child, and what is it's end, the answer
is simple enough. 1t should be nothing
but the superior wisdom and strength
explaining to inexperience and feeble
ness wherein they have made mistake,
to the end that they may avoid such mis-
takes in future. Ii personal annoyance,
lmpatlence, antagonlsm, enter in, the
relation is maired and the end endan-
gered. Most sacred and inalienable of
all rights is the right of helplessness to
protection from the strong, of ignorance
to counsel from the wise. If we give
our protection and counsel grudgingly,
or in oburish, unkind manner, even to
the stranger that is in our gates, we are
no Christians, and deserve to be stripped
of what little wisdom and strength we
have boarded. But there are no words
to say what we are or what We deserve, if
we do thus to the little children whom
we have dared to bring into the peril of
this life, and whose whole future may be
blighted by the mistakes OF our careless
hands.

Is he RIcH?-Many sigh is heaved,
many heart is broken, many life is
rendered miserable by the terrible infa-
tuation which parents manifest in choos-
ing life companion for their daughters.
How is it possible for happiness to re-
suit from the union of two principals so
aiametrically opposed to each other in
every point as virtue is 10 vice?-and
yet how often is wealth considered a
better recommendation for young men
than virtue? How often the first ques-
ton asked respecting the suitor of
daughter is this, "Is he rich?" Yes, he
abounds in wealth; but does that afford
any evidence that he will make q kind
and affectionate husband? els he rich?"
Yes. his clothing is purple and fine linen,
and he fares sumptuously every day; but
can you infer from this that be is vir-
tuous? "Is he rich?" Yes, he has
thousands floating on every ocean; but
do not riches sometimes "tnke TO them
consent that your daughter shall marry
man who has nothing to recommend
him but his wealth? All! beware, the
gilded bait sometimes covers q barbed
hook; ask not, then, "Is he rich," but
SIS he virtuous?" ask not if he has
wealth, but has he honor? And do not
sacriticeyour daughters peace for money.
FooLscAp. origin of the term
"foolscap" has doubtless puzzled many
writer's who use the paper known by
that name, and yet, as in many similar
cases, it took its name from O very
simple circumstance. Charles I, of
England, granted numerous monopolies
for the support of the Government.
Among others, was the manufacture Of
paper. The water-mark OF the finest
sort was the royal arms OF England.
The consumption of this article was
great, and large fortunes were made by
those who purchased the exclusive right
to vend it. This, among monopolies,
was set aside by the Parliament that
brought Charles I to the scaffold; and
by way of showing their contempt for
tho King, they ordered the royal arms
to be taken from the paper, and fool
with his cap and bells to be substituted.
It is now over 200 years since the fools.
cap was taken from the paper, but still
the paper of the size, which the Rump
Parliament ordered for their journals,
bear the name of the water.mark, placed
there as an indignity to Charles.

We find the following in the New
York correspondence of the Cincinnati
Conln,ercial: "American circles in
Paris were excited toward tho end OF
February by the following bit of scan
dial: \ very well-known citizen of
New York, famous for the fortunes he
has made by the sale of patent medi-
cincs, was in Paris with his wife. They
had been there some time. He is en-
tirely addicted to gambling. His trip
abroad is said to have been unClerta-
ken chiefly to break him from his vice,
which is making serious inrOads OF,
his fortune. He returned to his room
in Paris one morning about o'clock.
His wife was not in their lodging, but
he knew where she was to be found.
So he went to the house of II Mrs. b.,
and that lady, his wife, and two men
busily engaged in playing cards. The
New Yorker flew into II towering rage,
and upbraidcd his wife in the most in
temperate language. Early next morn
ing the outraged wife obtained certiti-
Gates of two or three French Physi-
clans, who had never seen her husband
VouehinG that he was insane, and
should be placed in n lunatic asylum.
Armed with these, she went to Mr..
Washburne, and through his interven-
ton made the police arrest her hus-
band, and lodged him in Il mad-house.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Washburne grew un-
easy at the thought of the responSibili-
ty he had assumed, and the next day
sect an American doctor to see his in
carccrated countryman. This doctor at
once discovered that his countryman
was sane, and he was liberated"

4 Deserted Glory.

Donald McKny's deserted ship yard
ut Boston calls forth the following from
tho Boston Advertiser:
Here have been built more f,tst clip
per ships than in any other ship yard
in tho world. Here was launched the
Lightning, the fastest ship ever known.
She made tho trip from Melbourne to
Liverpool in 63 days, II time that has
never been cquallcd by Il sailing ship.

time of the great Sepoy mutiny sailed

tered Bombay on the same evening ut
the Same hour. Here originated that
famous series, the Sovereign of tho
Seas, Empress of the Seas, Champion
of the Seas, aud Glory of the Seas. Mr..
Mckay has built 100 ships, and in the
years 1855 and 1856, within II months,
Ii were launched from his yard. Those
were the palmy days of this now neg
lcctcd branch of American industry,
when our yards were the glory of tho
nation and the envy Of the world. Tho
last ship launched by Mr.. Mckay was
tho Glory of the Seas, in 1869. She is

A Duel.

About Il recent duel mt Bay st. Louis,
between Col. G. w. Carter, ofthe House

Badger, Chief of Police, the Gazette of
that place says:
The place of fighting was in a field
near the depot. Rifles were used ut sixty
PAGES.
When the smoke Of the battle cleared
away it was ut once apparent that
neither was hit. 1t is strange that some
of the spectators We're not struck
Nfcssrs. Badger and Carter are evident
ly poor shots. Eye-witnesscs say that
they don't think either of them could
hit II barn, unless they were to go in
side and shut the door.
1t was amusing us we'll as Instructive
to note the instructive difference of
thought and expression between Cava-
lier and ROundhead. At the moment
of firing, just after pulling tho trigger,
Captain Badger exclaimed, Good
gracious - while Colonel Carter NUT
tered, Oh h-ll"
Afterthis harmless exchange OFFS hots,
wounded honor was considered satis-
fled and the whole party adjourned to
Bordages' grocery, where II sumptuous
lunch of crackers, cheese and whisky
was partaken of. All then returned to
the city " in the best OF Spirits" as the
