SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
The Trustees OF. tlli venerable insii-
tuition are actively engaged in so re-
orming its Internal policy as to bet

Of the people. In the absence OF
good classical training schools, i, has
been found difficult for young men

the University classes. Young men
nave been almost compelled to 60

thus have hcen lost 10 The University
On tie lst OF Octol.er next, the

from professors who have made teach
ing a life work. The advantages o.
this school will be unequaled by any
other in the State.
The University curriculum is now
an admitted failure. The University
principle will be retained, but tue

organized into four regular colleges

than before, and, with the grammar
school, will provide for students o.

There is one other fact that wish
to mention in this article. The Uni.
versity is, and for years has been
practically, free school. The pro:
fessors have generously relinquished
their claims for tuition, and the Trus
tees have allowed the Treasurer tc
remit the fees for library and room
rent. The students have only to pro:
vide for the expense of board and
pay for their parchments. Good fam

$40 per month, and many students
by " messing" make their boarding
expenses not more thanSlop per month
With such advantages, the University
ought to be full, and we believe il
will be, just as soon as parents and
guardians learn that while the ad
vantages of the University are very
great, the expenses are very small

From the Columbia Phoenix.
The University Of South Carolina.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the PAoemir,
week or two back, you asked the
question, Can anything be done to
revive the University" And the
friends of education have been anxi-
ously looking for a areplyand arenaedy,
after an expenditure Of further kicks
at the fallen lion should be over with.
We are now glad to see, by an arti-
Gle in the La1aom- Herald, of the 4th,
(written evidently by one who knows J
that this time-honored and still loved
and valued institution is by no means
dead yet, nor likely to be, if our
citizens will only come forward and
give to it the support it ought to
have. Mf. Editor, the writer Of this,
along with most others of the old
regime, was disposed, for the first two
or three years under the 'aeaO, to look
upon our Alma Mater as virtually
dead or doomed but now, sir, tempo

and we confidently expect a better
state of things. l submit, that it is
high time for croakers, cavillers, i'm
practicables and unreasonables to
cease turning up their knowing noses
at the condition, at the regime of the
University of South Carolina. There
is mandatory clause in our State
Constitution, which says the institu
tion shall be sustained, and it should
be sustained, especially since it is
now not only q free institution of
learning, (and therefore open to our
impoverished youth,) but it is also
as good a one, perhaps, as any in the
land. The dominant political party,
it should be conceded, have acted
with remarkable and liberal con-
servatisnl, through their Board of
Trustees. ClaRin has been given
over to the colored youth, and we
are sure that there is no disposition,
on the part Of either pupils or rulers,
for the two races to be intermingled
at either seat of learning. Then,
why may not both schools goon sue
cessfully,? Why send our young men
to West Point, to Harvard, to Yale,
to Philadelphia, or to Dr.. G;.illarj's
beneficiary scholarship in the Louis
vile Medical College, at any Of which
an over-fastidious or unreconsLructod

TRse Prophet of yahveh.

and now come tidings Of ueW troubles arising between Joseph
 Curry and the pious followers he ! led from the scholastic precincts ot i Cambridge. Mass, to found new JerGsalem among the heathens Of : Georgia. Of the hundred down. casters who accompanied hin to his New Canaan, all seeded last summer save ten men, three wo-
 meu, and five children It seems that, in his character as "Pro-
 phet..Of Yahveh," he was not con-
 tent to promuigatt new religious
 revelation, which they were will
 ing to obey, but must needs make
 certain novel rules in regard to
 their property-a topic Upon wh ich d0wn-es,st people are not at all in clined to be superstitious. When the seceders, including the pro- phet's wife, had left him with such property as they could recOv- CT by jaw, Joseph began to rule with a high hand the indigent few who remained true to the faith. He had all the watches and jeweIry in New Canaan turn ed over to him as forbidden gauds. He cOBtiscated one of the re- maining females and installed her as his queen in the splendid tent he occupied. He prOphesied the destruction Of the high officers of the United States Government within four weeks, announced l that the control of the country l would then vest absolutely and by dsvine right in him and the afore- said queen. All this was dutiful- |y received hy the faithful but when Joseph shaved off hair, whiskers, and eyebrows, stripped off his clothing, declared a new Adam, and insisted ,n braving the vigors of the late old snap in no other costume but . paper mitre inscribed "Holiness 0 oYahveh," the faith of the believ- IFS began to waver.

Winter Scenery In Yosemite.

Tho Mariposa Gazette gives the fol-
lowing description OF the Yosemite
scenery In the winter:
At the foot Of the great Yosemite
Fall there Is a mass Of snow and Ice
rising In the shape of an immense cone
over three hundred feet In height. 1t
Is formed at first early In the season
by the freezing Of the water from the
fail. Then, as the snow storms come
on, the vacuum created by the falling
water attracts the light flakes Of snow.
which are whirled about IN eddying
clouds and settle In an immense mass
sometimes to the depth Of four hun
bred feet. With the first Spring floods
the Immense volume OF water pouring
into the centre OF this cylindrical mass
from a height above the bottom of the
chasm of 1000 feet, rebounds with
such force as to throw columns of spray
600 feet into the air. Snow piled up
to a depth of from three to four hun
dred feet, anu water thrown six hun
dred feet by u rebound, may appear to
b. exaggerations, but they are plain.
palpable facts to the few who have had
the opportunity Of witnessing the ter
rible sublimity Of Winter and Spring
scenery in this wonderful region.

A Mormon Bootess.

was too bad to treat papa so cruelty.
even II he was drunk. Papa had n
weakness for going to bed drunk, and
when he awoke In the night he had a
habit Of rapping OH the stovepipe.
which meant that the girls should
bring him up some "stlmulant." In
this instance, the girls had company
and didn't relish the taps on the stove
pipe. With them endurance ceased to
be n virtue, aud the younger n in
dignantly rushed to her fathers room,
seized his boot, and unmindful that he
was her parent and was helpless, she
pummelled him soundly over the head
cutting several ugly gashes, from which
the blood trickled profusely. Had the
girl but considered, 1t was not policy
to do these things thus. The knowl.
edge OF that one fact would CONCEAL
the affection Of the most ardent lover.

A YeIocipede Race.

A fifty mile race on bicycle velocl-
pedes, recently took place ut Wolyer-
hampton, England, between two ex-
perienced riders. Moore and johnson.
Moore. the smaller man Of the two,
agreed to allow his opponent two miles
In the fifty. The first fourteen miles
we're run In fifty-nine minutes and
twenty-three seconds, the advantage
being In favor of Moore. At the end
Of the twentieth mile the a C seemed
to be over, as johnson was evidently
suffering from having repeatedly to
force his high wheel with short crank
up hill against the wind. Moore. OH
the other hand, with, small wheel and
long crank, had no difficulty In max
Ing the ascent. On tho twenty-seventh
mile, Moore passed johnson for the
sixth time, who could now scarcely

or the twenty-eighth mile, johnson
gave up the race. Moore finished the
remainder alone, making the fifty
miles IN three hours tlity.six minutes
and forty seconds, and running the
last mile quite rs quickly as the first.
At starting, In view Of the odds given
to Johnson, bets of three to one were
offered that he would come off victor.

A Ghostly Sensation.

The Mountain Democrat, published at
Placerville, relates, under date of
March Goth, this incident:
One day last week q leading and
highly respectable resident Of this city
happened to be coming down from his
ranch In the mountains, and from
Moors's Station was accompanied By
the proprietor Of that place to Smiths
Flat, where Moore invited him to stop
and take lunch at the residence Of his
lMoere'sl daughter, Mrs. Scott. The
gentleman compiled, and when seated
at the lunch table was surprised and
somewhat startled to see that article OF
furniture aud Its contents moving
away from him, and in q commotion
without visible human or physical
agency. Inquiry disclosed the fact that
a tensile attendant, an unsophi,ticated
c%ountry-bred girl. reared In neighbor-
lug portions Of this county, appears
to be what Is called a spiritual medi-

The Placer County Mystery.

From the Sacramento Record Of yesterday
We print elsewhere a detailed ac-
count OF the mystery which for several
weeks has agitated the people Of Pla-
Ger county. The disappearance Of the
child Elyina Coates, the succeeding
search for her. the apparently sudden
death of her father while engaged In
the search, and the final discovery OF.
the child's body, enyeloped In asack
and sunk In a deserted prospecting
hole, are the main features In the case.
Thus far no clue whatever has been
found to the perpetrators Of the deed,
and the death of the elder Coates rem
ders the solution Of the mystery more
improbable. It seems that he had
some special reason to apprehend dan
ger to the girl from her customary
rambles. 1t Is apparent that when she
left ON the day Of her disappearance,
she was bound on a definite errand,
from the fact that she persuaded her
little brother, who had always accom-
panied her before. to stay at home. 1t
Is probable that had her father lived
he would have been ablo to give a
more intelligent direction to the In
curry, but It does not appear that he
lad communicated such suspicious as
he may have entertained to any Of his
family. The neglect Of the Coroner TO
hold a post mortem examination Of the
child's body leaves it In doubt whether
she was killed by drowning or before
she was placed In the water, neither Is
it ascertained, as 1t should have been,
how long the body had been SUBJ
merged. A settlement Of these points
should have been Insisted upon. tor 1t
would have afforded q basis for far
more intelligent conjecture than seems
possible at present. 1t does not appear
either that any special effort has been
made to ascertain whether there were
any tracks In the vicinity Of the hole
in which the body was found, which
might have been followed with salts
factory results. The only piece ofevi-
dence remaining is the sack In which
the upper part Of the body was tied /;
but the sale of such sacks Is such All
every day occurrence. and their pos
session and use so common that proba-
bly, nothing can be made cut Of this
point. The fact that the body bore no
marks OF violence may indicate the
motive of the deed to be revenge rath-
or than brutal lust, and an acquaint-
ance with the relations existing be-
tween tho elder Coates and his neigh
bors should be of some use In this con-
nection. 1t does not appear to US
that the researches thus far have been
conducted with satisfactory thorough
ness, many points OF considerable i'm
portance having apparently been over
looked. Tie mystery Is u which 1t
deeply concerns the people Of the
neighborhood to clear up, and we.
therefore, trust that the inquiry will
not be abandoned hastily, however
discouraging it may seem at present. a
