To PROTECT FRUIT FROM BIRDs.-As we hear
every summer loud complaints of the depre-
dations Of the birds among the small fruits of
the garden and orchard, we give place to
the following plan which is said to be effect
ive'in soaring them off 1t is to stretch gray
or brown linen thread in various directions
over the gooseberry or currant bushes, small
cherry, etc. When the birds come for plumber
they strike against these threads, and thinking
them a concealed trap Immediately make off,
rs they dread anything they can feel and not
readily see. To protect peas sow them in
drills and stretch couple Of strands of thread
over the rows about two inches from the
ground. If the strings are put higher the
birds do not seem to mind them. = Chambers

In sermon in Chicago, last Sunday, Rev
Robert Ingersoll said
g Had such men as Robert Collyer and John
Stuart Mill been present at the burning of Ser
vetus, they would have extinguished the flames
with their tears. Had the Presbytery of Chi
cago been there. they would have quietly
turned their backs, solemnly divided their
oat-tals, and warmed themselves"
The Presbytery will doubtless vote that the
author of such irreverent remarks is a fit sub
ject for cremation beyond the grave.-Er.

Marriage in high life is one of the notable
events Of the day. That of Miss Nellie Grant
particularly so. The spleHdor of the East
Room in the Executive Mansion, on the 2lst,
has rarely been surpassed. The company was
brilliant. The gifts made to the bride were
munifcent. A dessert set of eighty-four sill
yer pieces, a present from Geo. W Childs, and
a complete silver dinner service, by A. j.
Drexel, of Philadelphia the combined value
being 81, 500. Secretary Fish gave a silver
tankard. General and Mrs. Sharpe, of New
York, ring with a stone cameo set with dia-
monds. Postmaster General Creswell a silver
ice cream service. Ex-senator Cattell, a dia-
mond ring five stones. L. P. Morton, of N.
York, an emerald and diamond ring-these
two rings are worth thousand dollars each.
A. T. Stewart of New York, the largest size
lace pocket handkerchief such as sell for $500.
The President gave $40, 600. Well, we still
think with Burns, that the cottage leaves
the palace far behind.n
The parties were married according TO the
ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

In the United States Senate on Monday, Mr.
Stewart offered q joint resolution proposing an
amendment 10 the Constitution to enforce the
establishment of a common school system in
the different States. Mr. Stewart is looking
ahead, evidently with view 10 the enforce
meat Of the Civil Rights bill, by the passage
of which the entire free school system Of the
South will be broken up and destroyed. An
amendment TO the Constitution IN this partic-
ular he thinks, no doubt, will fasten the pro-
visions of the bill upon the people. 1t has yet,
however, to run the gauntlet of the States,
il submitted for adoption, with what result
time must determine. The Constitution has
been patched often enough, and even if its
provisions are disregarded by the dominant
party, it would be well enough to preserve the
old document intact, for the benefit ofposterity.

SouTH CARomNA.-The future historian,
when with truthful pen he writes the history
of this down-trodden State will have much to
record that will reflect no credit upon this ad-
mnistraiion. In vain has il been appealed to
to allord some measure of relief from the ntoler-
able burdens which Cypress the people of this
unfortunate Slate. To all this deaf ear is
turned, and to-day South Carolina presents a
condition in sad contrast with most of the
Southern States. late copy of the Charles
ton Chronicle, official organ Of the State, pub
lished delinquent tax list of 10 columns of
that paper, including $40 houses, and ,43l
lots in the city, besides other property. 25l
summer residences and l6s lots on Morris,
Sulivan's, and other islands, aggregating
299, l9l acres of land surrounding Charleston
are offered for sale. Even the grave of John
G, Calhoun is in danger of being sold for
taxes. This is sad picture, but it is true as
sad. 1t shows into what deplorable condi-
tion a State may be brought when under the
rule oft,ss negro. and the white thieves asso-
cated with them in the management of its
affairs. Robbery seems to be the rule with the
officials taxes levied to impoverish the tax
payers and enrich the rulers. Fortunate was
il for the people Of Maryland that they wresed
their State from the rapacious hands that held
the rens ofgovernment, and let them be warn
ed Of the fate that win overtake them if they
permit the democratic party to lose the ascen-
dancy in the State. Remember South Carolina.

Friday last. Tweuty-nine hundred pieces Of

DANGER. One day last week while several
gentlemen were standing on the sidewalk in
front of the Court House, engaged in CONVEX
sation, viper that had evidently crawled out
the yard, struck at Mr.. Haney, one of the
company, without however, doing any harm.
The reptile was Immediately killed. An i'm
preston prevails that the wall is a den for SER
penis of this kind. 1t ought to be inquired
into, and children who frequent the yard eau
toned of the danger that may be near.
We might as well remark here that many Of
the young trees that were planted along the
sidewalks are without protection, and require
attention from some quarter.

Letter from Baltimore.

Editor Ssntinel,-
Perhaps few lines from the business heart
Of the Metropolitan City may interest your
readers. Since the early part OF the war such
stagnston has not been known here to busi-
ness cifcles. Universal languor pervades the
entire commercial and manufacturing interests
oil this community. Grumblings and mnr-
muringsare the order Of the day Complaint
may be heard on all sides, running through
every branch Of trade, from the princely
wholesale merchant 10 the vendor of fruits
and CONNECTIONS upon the street corner. Thou
sands in every branch of business are idle, and
there seems to be as much need for the Soup
Houses and Relief Associations now as there
was last fall and winter, Immediately subse-
quent to the great financial panic. The bust
ness interests Of this city and the whole coun-
try appear as imperatively TO demand none
tary legislation as the late busy BB's of Ar
kansas called for authoritative recognition and
interference. While the financial views of the
President nre generally applauded and con-
sidered Bound in theory, the interests of the
people demand something palpable in the way
of Practice. We endeavored to expand or e1-
Tend ourselves little lately, but, as you are
aware, the inhabitants Of the 'belt'' refused
any utilization. We propose 10 WOO them a
short time yet and then embrace, nolens Uolens.
Montgomery is pretty well represented here
"officially," the Tobacco Warehouse having
''some' and the Custom House tone"
Edwin Booth, the Prince of Tragediennes
is playing here to crowded houses. His share
Of the proceeds alone amount 10 5000 nightly.
By-the-by il had not seen few late issues
Of the Sentinel, | should not have known that
you had an Ad0ocate there, | mean newspa-
per by that name, as ] am perfectly aware
that you are well supplied with the other kind.
He seems to adUocate various new things"
and to arrogate unto himself little abrogat-
ing power, seized and possessed by your late
legislative delegation. You may continue to
suspect just such things while the B. h o. r
r. and the c. b o. q. rule Montgomery coun-
ty. Supercilious arrogance is always found
among such men instead OF broad.and enlight-
ened legislation wholesome for the whole
people. GARRETT.
