Legends of the Yellowstone.

| Here, the trappers tell us, is the 'moth-
er region" of the gold, where the Indians
told Father dc Smet it was found on the
surface. Here are the burning plains, 50
testities Blidger, ut the head of the Yell
lowstone, and large lakes, and boiling
springs like the Geysers Of Iceland. -
Here he SAW the Two Ocean River which,
after flowing for some distance, separates
into two large streams-one travelling to
the Atlantic, the other to the Pacific
In one of these wales is II large tract of
sage-brush, every leaf and branch of
which Is perfect, and here and there are
rabbits, sage hens, and even Indians, all
turned to stone. Ill fares it with whoso-
ever penetNtes these mysteries, for the
genius of the place at once adds him to
the group OF stauary. More wonderful

THE LANDLADY's DAUGHTER.

There came three students over the Rhine
Dame Werters house they entered in;
Dame Werter, hast thou good beer and wine?
And where's that lovely daughter of thine ?"
"M My beer and wine is fresh and clear
My daughter is ly ing co d on her bier"
They stopped within the chamber of rest,
Where shrined lay the maiden in black robes
dressed.
The first he drew from her face the veil;
"Ah vert thou alive, thou maiden so pale"
He said, as he gazed with saddsned brow.
How dearly would love thee now -
The second, he covered the face anew,
And, weeping, he turned aside from the view;
"Ah me that thou lisst on the co d biSr,
The one have Low ed for so many yearP'
The third once more uplifted the veil,
He kissed the lips so deadly pale;
Thee loved erer, still love thee,
And thee will love through eternity"
And that kiss-that kiss-with Promethean
flame.
Thrilled with new life the qnivering frame
And the maid uprose and stood by his side,
That stud nt's own loved and loving bride

ENLARGEMENT OF THE PUBLIC
SQUARE. - The obstruction Of our
Courthouse in January last, from the
proximity Of buildings on the ada
cent lots, which communicated the
flames, b; urged upon the public at
tention, tho propriety Of guarding
against any such contingency in the
future, by the extension Of tho square
over the now vacant lots. For q
reasonable sum, this property could
likely bepurchased, and the present
time is very opportune one. Apart
from the safety which Will thus be
given,to the public records, it will en-
ure largely to the public comfort. The
present square is too contracted, even
for present emergencies-much less
for the Abbeville Of tho future. Ev-
cry citizen Of the town and Of the
county is interested, and now is the
time to move in the matter.

ANOTHER GIN HOUSE BURNT
We learn that the gin house Of Mr.
Caldwell, at Mount Carmel, was con
sumed by fire on Friday afternoon
last, together with eight or ten bales
of cotton. The cotton was princi.
pally owned by ncighbors for whom
Mr.. G. ginned for toll. The origin of
the fire seems somewhat unaccounta-
Bile, as it was in or about a cotton
basket with which they were unload
ing wagon Of cotton at the door OF
the cotton house. The flames extend
ed so rapidly from the basket to the
cotton in the house, as to. be beyond
control in very short time. The
fire is believed. to have been acciden.

President Ransier in taking the
Chair of the Senate congratulated
them on the profound peace and
tranquility that had been established
He said tbs party lines in this State
were almost entirely lines Of race,
and that naturally and almost reccs'
sarily there was something Of antag-
onism between the whites and the
blacks. But those who have the
welfare of the State at heart must
endeavor. to change this state Of at:
fairs as much as possible, and bring
about a spirit Of Cancellation on all
sides. .1

gers at two dollars, making a total
