Virginia. I'M search OF recreation and
rest. His pulpit was occupied, last
Sunday, both morning and evening,
by Rev. Mr. Daniel. of Camden, Ar.
kansas. Tie theme OF the morning
discourse was Esau's sale of his birth.
right and forfeiture of the blessing. It
was handled with fine effect.
On THE WAR PtrH. Judge Mackey
arrived in Columbia. last night. He
is still on the war path. On Thursday
last. during one of his characteristic
addresses. before an immense audi.
ence, in Yorkville, he compared South
Jarolina's Governor to bis illustrious
prototype, in this. that whereas the
ancient gentleman destroyed the two
tables OF stone upon which the com.
mandments were written, the latter.
day Moses had deliberately broken

PALMETTO ORPHAN HoME.-A CITY
cotemporary publishes the following
account OF this charitable, ,institution:
The increasing interest manifested
In this charitable. institution. is OF the
most commendable character. AL
though the untiriug efforts of those
directly in charge haye accomplished
much, and friends have responded to
calls for aid. there is slcoptinuous and
proper appeal for more help, which
doubtless will meet with responses in
the future more numerous than those
30 acceptable in the past. The build
ing occupied by the Home ia situated
on Washington street. East of Rich
ardson, and the management OF its
affairs is under the supervision of a
Board of Trustees, com posed of citi-
zens of the highest character, with
DR.. j. W. Parker as President. The
Immediate care of the Home rests in
charge of two estimable ladies-Mrs.
Lynes as matron nnd Miss Pollin as
lnstructress. There nre now under
their care nineteen children--orphsns
hanging from elk weeks to ten years
OF age, and since it's organization,
many little waits who had been found
in suffering, and neglect, ragged and
nncared for. nave been provided with
good homes, where they are contented
and happy, and have the opportunity
afforded to grow up to be useful mem
bers OF society. As intimated, the
Home is supported entirely by volun-
tary contributions, and the trustees
are now using every endeavor to raise
fund to sustain it. It is an institu-
tion, the prosperity and welfare of
which appeals directly to the most
tender feelings OF every man and wo.
man, and that the appeal has not been
allowed to pass unheeded, we have
gratifying proof by recent events, es-
pecialIy the hearty response called
forth by the recent musical festival Of
the Choral Union. But the work
should not stop with this. To carry
this noble charity on to that measure
Of success which it so Justly merits,
much more needs to be done, and We
hope the citizens Of the State will con.
tinually bear in mind that "every lit.
tie helps" The children now are
doing well, having just passed through
those ordeals Of infancy. the whoop.
ing cough and measles, without
single fatality.
PHGNIx1ANA.-lti is very easy to look
down on others; to look down OF cur.
selves is the greatest difficulty.
To remove dandruff-Go out on the
plains and insult an Indian.
Much hard talk and bad blood would
be saved if people would stop to weigh
things before they blame others.
When We have much to carry,
Heaven rarely fails to fit the back to
the burden.
The best oonundrum out-In my
first my second sat. my third and
fourth I ate. Answer-In .eat.i.ate.
Note-shavers succeed financially
because they "take 30 much interest"
in their business.
