DEATH-BED SCENES Most persons
seem anxious to know if they are going
to die-not because they wish to make
physical preparations. but that they may
arrange their material affairs, give final
directions for the disposal of their effects
or their remains. Again and again have
1 been asked by the wasted wretches iu
prison, "Do you think I am gone case,
doctor? I'm not afraid to die, but [
want to know"
1 have found, particularly at Sails
bury, that material comfort is the thing
!onged for by the dying. In their last
hoar, men and women want physical
rest and ease above aught else, and I
know instances in which the replies of
persons near their dissolution were in
such sharp contrast to inquiries made of
them as to become positively grotesque.
was present when an acquaintance,
having been struck down in the streets
by falling chimney, was carried home
in dying state. As soon as he had re.
covered consciousness, his wife, half
frantic with terror, leaned over the sofa
on which he lay. and said. "Oh, my
darling, do you really love me?" The
response was, ''Yes, if you will pull of
my boots;" and these were his last words.
A gentleman, long ill of wasting fever,
had reached that condition of rest which
generally heralds the great transforma-
tion. His betrothed, who had devotedly
nursed him, said: "Dearest, do YOU die
happy?" II should" was the answer.
''is that internal fly wouldn't bother
me-" and spoke no more. "Wouldn't t
you like to see your father?" inquired q
doting mother OF her only son, as his
life was ebbing fast. "Of course, l
should; but I'd rather have my face
washed" Such words, apparently harsh
and unfeelipg, come from persons OF
natural sensibility and tenderness, be-
cause in their dying hour the desire for
material comfort often crowds out every
other consideration. -.Junius Henri

perty by proving title and paying taxes

GUS difficulties in the way Of doing 30 to
any considerable extent. In tho first
place. the process of redemption has
been needlessly complicated by State le-
gisl"tion; 80 that in many cases the Go

sale. It is also TO und that plantations

Beaufort affairs are not SO bad. OF the
l6o blocks and lots into which the town
is divided, probably one half are open to
redemption. The school farm reserya-
tions never having passed out of the
possession of the Government are not
snbiect to redemption by their owners.
These tracts vary in size from eighty to

arabic lands. Some of these places we're
formerly occupied by tho aristocracy of
South Carolina, and wore distinguished
for their elegance. Nearly oil tho lands
on Hilton Head, Dawfnski and Bull
Island are open to redemption. It is
questionable, however, whether the
former owners can do so to any great ex-
tent, as they are generally poor, and un
able to raise the amount OF back taxes
due. 1t is proposed that the State. in
view OF their poverty aud eufferings,
snail remit the taxes for five or ten years.
Eut 1t is very doubtful whether the negro
Legislature Of South Carolina will adopt
any course calculated to benefit tie
former owners of these lands. Uiti.
.m1ately the lands arc likely to pass undor
the control of an entirely new class. As
place of winter resort for wealthy per.
sons or invalids, who desire to escape the
rigor OF the Northern climate. they seem
to present most tempting advantages.

those OF our readers who may be disposed
to regard the publication of NEWSPAPER
as matter of amusement:
rev people are aware of the inside
workings OF printing Office, nor of tho
annoyances attendant upon the publica-

other time they meet you to tell you Of
some important fact that ought to be no

GENERALLY, however, it turns out that the
Item referred to is one in which the ill.,
formant has an axe to grind, and the
newspaper is to be the free horse on
which he expects to ride into public no.

The newspaper business is very exactinp
on all connected with it, and the nav is

risks large amount of money for smaller
profits, and the editors and printers
work harder and cheaper than the same
number OF men in any other nrofauo;or

gence and training. The life has it's

THE MOpOCs SURROUNDED.

ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT on wEDNEsDAY-GREAT
ADVANTAGES GAINED BY THE TRooPs-HoPEs
OF COMPELLING THE MoDoCs TO SURRENDER.
LAVA BEDS April 16-During the night the
ModOcs' position remained the same as they occu-
pied at sunset yesterday evening. This morning q
hotly-eontested fight took place on Col Greenes
left The Indians endeayored to get to the lake for
water, but our troops succeeded in keeping them
away. At q. m, q dispatch was received
from Col Masons camp, saying some Modocs
bad passed out on his left and were then on his
flank and rear. During the night the mortaTs under
command of Major Thomas opened fire on the Modoc
camp, which was kept up and very much annoyed
the Indians who could be heard yelling and shout
ing at an awful rate. At 2 a. m, the troops under
Col. Greene were ordered TO move for
ward from tho position they had held dur.
ing the night. The whole line started with
cheer, and before 10 o'clock had reached the top Of
the Ridge next TO Capt. Jacks camp, which was 50
holly contested yesterday, and which had been
nearly deserted to-day. When our men had gained
this position cheers could be heard along the whole
