Judge White gives us an evangelical story
of the first water. One of his students was a
convert at aprotracted meeting, but not find
ing the peace he hoped from his conversion,
he waited on his minister, and informed him
of his backsiding condition. "Your heart is
hardened by your professions" solemnly said
the man of God. "Quit the law office; retire
on your knees to your study, and be brought
out either Christian or a corpse"

The tale emanates from disappointed and
superannuated virgin, and is to the effect that
Boston ladies at Swampscott and New Lon
don wear their corsets in bathing! Horrible,
indeed! Thus are the would-be Romeos who
sit staring on the beach horribly deceived.
The Boston girl is up to all sorts of dodges,
we know, but the maiden lady's story takes
the lead.

FRUIT JAMS.


It's generally known that boiling fruit for
a long time and skimmlng it well without the
sugar aud without cover to the preserving
pan, is very economical and excellent way,
economical because the bulk OF the scum
rises from the fruit and not from the sugar,
if the latter is good, and boiling il without
a cover, allows the evaporation of all TIL
watery particles therefrom; the preserves
keep firm and we'll favored. The propor-
tions are three quarters OF pound of sugar
to pound of fruit. Jam made in this way
of currents, strawberries, raspoerries or
gooseberries is excellent. .-.
THE CAUSE OF CHICKEN CHOLERA.
We do not think the introduction of for
egn fowls is the cause OF chicken cholera.
The foreign breeds are NJ more subject 10
disease than others. Besides, what breeds
have we that are not originally OF foreign
origin? The cause of cholera is undoubted-
ly lack of attention to cleanliness, warmth,
and to proper diversity OF food, and want
of pure water.
NERVOUS SICK HEADACHE.
One fourth of grain of ipecac. repeated
every half hour or hour, has relieved many
cases of this affection and if the ipecac Is
continued in one to three grain doses, three
or four times daily, cure will frequently re-
sult,-at least the intervals will be prolonged.
TEA CAKES. ~
Five tea-cups of -four, two and half of
sugar, four eggs, sour cream enough to make
a soft dough, and one tea spoonful of soda.
Roll thin, cut into shapes, and bake in a tol-

Terrible Gale-Loss S25O.OO0

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 29.-The
most fearful gale in this city since
1854, occurred to-day, beginning about
daylight with a strong southeast wind,
and increasing until 9 o'clock, when
it had become hurricane. The tide
was forced up to an unprecedented
height, inundating the entire river
front of the city, damaging wharves,
and in some instances sweeping away
pier heads. The long stone sea wall,
known as the battery and a famous
promenade resort, was laid in ruins,
and the public bathing house was de-
molished. Shipping generally escaped
serious damage. Some small crafts
were wrecked! but large vessels were
only chafed
Throughout the city fences and out
buildings were destroyed, brances torn
from the trees, and during the height
of the storm the air was filed with
slate and tin stripped from the roofs,
making the streets impossible. The
massive brick walls of the new theater.
which had just been completed, with
the exception of putting on the roof,
and from its position in the burnt dis
trict, was exposed to the full force of
the gale, were leveled with the street.
About noon the wind shifted to the
west, moderating the violence CT the
sea, and it is hoped that the worst is
over Two houses are reported swept
away on Sullivan's Island, and one
life lost. The inmates of the bathing
house were rescued with the utmost
difficulty. 1t is probable that $780,
900 will not repair the damage.

In view of the present plight Of
Louisiana. the following passage from
Appleton's Cyclopedia for 1861, page
126, is suggestive of reflection. 1t is
the view of a Northern annalist wri-
ting in the fever of war, and describ
ing the early days of secession:
so loyal, however, were the pee
pie of some of the States. and partic-
ularly Louisiana, to the Union, that
Notwithstanding all the steps of dis
union, they still hoped the end would
be a reunion. They looked to the fact
that the Border States remained in
the Union as an assurance that they,
through the mediation of these States,
could be received back after the de-
lerium of secession was over. They
openly declared that if, as people OF
the Gulf States, they could obtain the
assurance of faithful enforcement OF
the Constitution in some such form as
the Crittenden bill suggested, they
would coerce the seceders."

A FRIEND, with whom we conversed
on the subject of appointing the judic-
lar, asks US. if the Legislature is more
reliable than the people, for the selec-
ton of judges. We might reply that
if the people are not competent TO
choose representatives who are COM
petent and willing to serve them faith
fully and wisely in such cases, they
the people-had better sell out to Of
fce-seekers aud retire from all partici-
patton in the management of their own
government. We have not proposed,
however, to leave the election of judges
to the Legislature which, biased by
the spirit of party, or influenced by
other considerations not less unworthy,
may make bad selections. Since no
change in this respect, can be effected,
except under an amended constitution,
that instrument can be made to pro-
vide that the bar, in each judicial cir
cult. shall meet in convention, select
two, or more, names of the ablest law
yers, one of whom shall be confirmed
by the Senate and Governor and duly
commissioned. We suggest this plan
as the safest because every lawyer,
worthy of the name, prefers to prac-
tice before an able and honest judge
and because every lawyer instinctively
desires to remove out of his way, the
ablest of his competitors for practice
We throw out the suggestion fol
what it is worth. There may be OBJ
jections to its adoption of which We
are not aware, and may have overlooked
in our anxiety to remove the judiciary
from the political arena, and to reliey,
the people from the demoralizing in
fuences of elections with our presen
voting material.

THE candidates for Governor have
had their first debate at Jonesboro, In
which Porter led off with most effec-
tive speech which was received with
great applause, He pinned Maynard
down to his Radical record, to which
the latter replied by assailing the lease
of the Penitentiary, the assessment
law, the funding bill, and Governor
Browns administration generally.
This dodge will not avail him much.
Porter will arraign him everywhere on
his record, and prove to the people
that an advocate of social rights ought
not to be the repository of power in
this State.

Brownlow to Run for Congress from
the Second District.

!, 4 KNOXVILLE. Sept 30.-There is no
little excitement in political circles
here over the announcement that Sen
ator Brownlow mas determined to be
candidate for Congress from this dis
trlct- He informed several of his
friends to-day that his card would ap-
pear in the Press and Herald and
Chronicle tomorrow. 1t is under
stood that he has been induced to take
the held on account of the feud be-
tween Thcrnburgh and Houk, the con-
tinuance of which must result in the
loss of the district to the Republican
party Houk will retire and Brown
low will have no trouble in beating
Thornburgh, who is the nominee of
the Maynard and Chronicle ring con-
yention, and has no strength.
Brownlow S course in this matter.
confirms the suspicion which has been
generally entertained of late. that he
is personally and politically hostile to
Maynard and his aspirations. There
will be fun here before the canvass is
over.

THE tone of the northern press, ir-
respective of party, is well calculated
to convince Grant that, in taking Kel-
logg under his protection, he has an
elephant on his hands. Nor can even
Morton keep him blind to the situa
ton in the South, when such men as
Carl Schurz are demolishing the fabric
of lies, SO carfully erected by the ma
lignant Indiana Senator. And al
though the philosophic and compre-
hensive views of the Missouri Senator
do not take in the entire situation, yet
we, of the South, may well congratu-
late ourselves upon the fact, that there
are those in the North, once prominent
oppressors of the South, who begin to
appreciate the wrongs we bear and
dare speak out in behalf of justice
and humanity.
