EDUCATION OF THE MAssEs.-The subject.
of educating the masses in the South is one of
the greatest Importance. In this State, which
has large majority of citizens who have by
circumstance been deprived of this advantage,
the question comes home as near, if not nearer,
than in any other State in the Union. Educa-
ted labor makes itself known instantly. Men
who think for themselves are better citizens
than those who follow like flock of sheep a
shepherd be he good or bad. Enough of the
fallacy. of blind following is patent to every
old resident to answer any argument that may
be brought in opposition. knowledge is pow
er, and the more rapidly the masses have
placed within their reach the means of gaining
it, the better it is for South Carolina All
circumstances and obstacles considered, the
progress th..t has been made in this State is
matter Of congratulation.
That portion Of our fellow citizens who con-
tribute only the poll tax should remember that
it is casting bread upon the waters, to be re-
turned to them in ten-fold proportion. The
recent action of considerable number of
school districts in levying taxes for the support
of schools is to be commended in the highest
terms. In word, money for educational pur-
poses should of all be paid up to the dollar,
and expended strictly, as we believe it will be,
in accordance with the law making the appro-
priation for The samc-UIaion and Herald.

CHINESE FIsHERMEN.-An English mission
ary to China, the Rev. George Smith, says that
on one of his aquatic excursions, he saw some
Chinese fishermen at their vocation in away to
astonish him. They had model of fish
made of bright tin, which was slowly dragged
along at the end of line fastened to the boat
The fish in all directions swan toward the de-
coy. 1t seemed to possess a peculiar fascina-
ton. Far back in the rear was another boat,
carrying a net. When it was judged there were
fish enough congregated about the object OF
their attraction, the oarsmen Stacked little,
while the net men approached and dropped the
seine, widely extended; they then gradually
brought the extremitles together, and generally
made successful haul.
Those same people have, with long practice,
another adroit method of fishing, which might
be practiced here with equal advantage. They
hang highly bright vanished strip of board
along the outside of the gunwale of a boat, at
When ready on the fishing ground, torches are
lighted. The vanished board intensifes the
light and throws it at an angle far off in the
water. Curiosity, or some other sentiment,
prompts the fish to follow up the rays. They
rush on with such rapid speed that when they
see the boat, which seems to be an obstruction,
they leap over the row-locks inside, just where
they are wanted.
Another method practiced, which the obser-
want missionary often saw, was by trained cor.
morants. They dive down from the boat and
rarely fail to bring up fishes in their bills. To
prevent them from swallowing the prey, each
had metallic ring on its neck, through which
nothing could pass. Occasionally it was re-
moved, that the bird might be encouraged with
q few morsels of food.
Both science and art are recognized in these
bland and child-like piscatory processes.

BREAKING UP SETTING HENs.-This is the
season when every owner of hens is engaged in
endeavoring to suppress the maternal instincts
in one or more of them. The man comes home
to.supper and the wife observes: 'sThat yeller
pullet is on the nest again." Then the man
goes out to the coop, and says: "What in the
thunder is the matter with the beast any way ?"
and crawls in under the roost to the nest, and
reaches in and brings out handful of feathers,
Then the hen screams and starts for the door,
and the other hens set up howl, and like
wise depart for that aperture, and the man
nearly choked by feathers and blinded by dust
falls over the watcr-trough and skins his an
kles on the boxes, and finally bursts out into
the yard with a piece Of a brick in each hand,
and goes after that yellow pullet, with his face
as red as lobster and his back curiously
wrought with mosaics from the floor Of that
coop. When he catches the hen, he cuffs it
over the head few times, to show it how he
feels, then he jams it under barrel and pours
pail of water through the cracks, and leaves
it there till morning, when it is released, and
the same operation gone over again in the
evening.-Danbury Ne,cs.

FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEABoARD.
When South Carolina was first settled BY the
Auglo-saxon race, the course of progress In
colonizing and subduing the territory vas from
the seaboard to the mountains. Our ancestors
settled along the coast, and gradually moved
towards the mountains until the whole territory
was inhabited by the whites. Every thing that
tended towards the civilization of the State
came upward frora the seaboard. Churches
and other benevolent societies were first formed
on the seashores, and their influence moved
upwards. Educational movements came from
the seaboard. in fact, everything advanced
from that direction. The Indians left the sea-
board first and were pushed towards the noun
tains by the aggressive whites. They left the
mountain regions of the State last. Some who
are still living can recall the days when few :,
lingering red men still frequentcd their trails
along the mountains. Indeed, there is now to
be found the remnant of small tribe in York
County, occupying their own lands, known as
the sIndiap Nation" But in few years, the
place that knew them, will know them no
more.
From the day the first colony settled on the
seaboard until the secession of South Carolina,
in 1860, the current of events and influence
was from the sea towards the mountains
Even slavery had the same line of march over
the State; and the doctrine of secession and
other influences which brought on the great
war, moved along with slavery as its guard.
The close of the war, with its many results,
will mark the era of change in almost every
thing in the just history of our State, One of
the most marked changes will be the reflex
movements of influence and events from the
mountains towards the seaboard The new
march of conquest will be toward the sea. The
engines of re-colonization of the State, will
move from the mountains. All ready can the
backward movement of the tide be seen.
immigration will flow to the mountains. in
the future and the State will be reoccupied
from the mountains to the seaboard. There is
something pleasing in this movement. 1t is
big with promise and hope to thousands. 1t
looks like dutiful children returning to the pa
rental home to bless and protect their aged
parents. Let the strong sons of the mountain
regions remember from whence they derived
their being and all the institutions that now
exalt them. Let them look towards the sea-
board and long to deliver and repossess the
land of our ancestors.

Strong Drink.

The spread of intemperance is alarmingly
on the increase, and the curse of strong drink
is felt in nearly every household in the land.
A terrible crisis has arrived, and something
must be done to check the growing evil and
protect society. The matter has resolved itself
into a question of life or death, and it is the
duty of every one to lend his aid to any move
ment calculated to benefit mankind and insure
the peace and prosperity of the country.
In the past, all efforts to overcome the hydra
headed demon of our country's destruction
have been without success, and still the stream
rushes along bearing upon its bosom many of
our dearest hopes and aspirations. The effects
of strong drink are apparent on every hand.
Society groans beneath the weight of casualty
and crime occasioned by the use of ardent
spirits. DR. Holland, in Scridner's Monthly,
draws the following true, but frightful, pic
ture:
''The appetite for strong drink in man has
spoiled the life of more women-ruined more
hopes for taem, scattered more fortunes for
them, brought to them more sorrow, shame
and hardship-than any other evil that lives.
The country numbers tens-nay, hundreds-ot
thousands Of women who are widows to-day,
and sit in hopeless weeds, because their hus-
bands have been slain by strong drink. There
are nunQTeQo OIL IuOuSdlluS VI uoiueo oCaIleieu
over the land in which women live lives of tor
ture, going through all the changes of suffer
ing that lie between the extremes of fear and
despair, because those whom they love, love
wine better chan they do the women they have
sworn to love. There are women by thousands
who dread to hear at the door the step that
once thrilled them with pleasure, because that
step has learned to reel under the influence of
the seductive poison. There are women groan-
ing with pain, while we write these words,
from bruises and brutalities inflicted by hus-
bands made mad by drink. There can be no
exaggeration in any statement in regard to this
matter, because no human imagination can
create anything worse than the truth, and no
pen is capable of portraying the truth. The
sorrows and horrors of wife with drunken
husband or a mother with drunken son, are
as near the realization of hell as can be reached
in this world at least. The shame, the indig-
nation, the sorrow, and the sense of disgrace for
herself and her children, the poverty, and not
unfrequently the beggary-the fear and the
fact of violence, the lingering, lifelong strug-
gle and despair of countless women with drunk
en- husbands are enough to make all women
curse wine, and engage unitedly to oppose it
everywhere rs the worst enemy to their SEX"
