Ch;.iSim:py Tees.

: On Wednesday, the day before Christ.
mas, VIC assisted, as they say in France,
at a Sunday school festival. held in sle
ecture room of the Episcopal church.
The house was crowded by the members
and friends of the school. All eyes were
liked upon splendid evergreen, loaded
with presents for the children. One Of
he best features of the occasion was the
fact that the tree and its fruit were a
surprise 70 the children and otherfriends.
A lady member OF Emmanuel Church,
Bo.to al the request OF visiting friend
from Beaufort, sent them as christmas
Git to the Sunday school. There were
placed in the hands Of Mrs. DR.. Walker
who is 80 unceasing 10 well-doing 10
church and people, bat sorrow and be-
reavement made it impossible for her to
engage in festival at this time. The
teachers and some ladies interested pro-
cured and trimmed the tree. One gentle
men gave large supply Of candy and
another an abundance OF oranges and ap-
pies. Cakes were also sent bysome ladies'.
aud so the festival was made complete.
The lecture room was crowded with hap
py children connected with the school
and their friends who had been invited
TO partake. All were made welcome. Dr..
Walker, the rector, read from Revela-
tions, land the leaves Of the tree were
for the healing Of the nations" alluding
to the christmas free as coming from
distant and long discovered fiiends, and
hoped that its leaves might be for the
'thealiug of the nation" A christmas
hymn was sung and then began merry
scene, as the Fl nit was plucked aud dis
tributcG to the eager children. There
were dolls Tor girls, games, knives aud
balls, for boys aud cornucopias and candy
bags Tor all. Not the least pleasant
thing connected with this festival were
the meetings for wo;k beforehand. We
wish all who wele thus en"aged Happy
| New Year and many returns Of such
| merry holiday festivities.
On Friday night, another christmas
| tree was unloaded at he colored Metho-
dist church. This was, as usual, mainly
| the work of Mrs. W. NJ. French, assisted
by the Rev. Mr.. Dunton and some ladies
of the congregation. Dolls, toys and
stockings full of candy were provided fol
| all. Mr.. Dunton read a charming little
| story about Annie and Willie, and theil
prayer for christmas presents. Mr.. Dua'
| toms line reading of the poem made it
| equally interesting to the most ignorant
child and the most cultivated of his lis.
| teners. Each child's name was called
and they came forward with faces BEAM
ing with delightto receive their presents.
The orderly and polite conduct Of the
| children added greatly to the pleasure ol
,he occasion. Mrs. Duniou received 20
envelope which contained gilt Of green
backs.

An Augusta Tragedy.

On Christmas eve two young men met
in front of the Central ho;el in Augusta,
and aiicr exchanging some warm words
one of them slapped the other in the
face. Each instantly pulled out his re-
volver and simultaneously shoe. +. ID.
D'Antigrac received a ball in his
liver, FROM which he died on Saturday,
and E. w. Hack, got ball in his right
aim, which then passed through and
entered his body, lodging in his spine.
Hacks wouudsare considered very DANCE err
Gus aud probably fatal. They are both
reported by the Augusta papers as be-
longing to good families.

sB- HAIRY Genet, one the most
aristocratic OF the New York Tammany
Ring sheives, Was convicted last week,
AMI would have been sentenced to the
penitentiarv, but he escaped from the
custody of the sheriff. Ten thousand
dollars arc offered for his recapture.
Seven minor rogues, under Indictment
ior similar offences, forfeited their bail
and have fed the country. Thus has
the good work gone bravely on. We
hope that the day is not far distan: when
we may be chrpnicling similar triumph

A Taxpayers Convention.

The Charleston News opposes the
proposition OF Mr.. Lathers to use the
Oranges a. a basis for the assemblin2 OF
a convention to take into consideration
the financial and political condition OF
the state The News thinks that politi-
cal work is out Of the province OF the
Patrons of Hrsbandry. But what more
proper business could grange be about
than that of saving the farms Of its mem
bers from gradual coufscation. We
,hink, however. with he Ne'cs thai "a
Tax payers Convention would probably
be better. We would have new one.
Not the same delegates as that OF 1871.
That 5ody did not escape the charge OF
having fallen under The control o. a Sci
OF cock lighting poli,ieiaus, who were OIL
the whole, fooled By the administration
and csed by the stockholders. In spae
of NJ. Lathers assertion VIC don't think
the convention amorntcd to anything OF
moment. The sterling bonds were not
Issued. but ON no rear O. that body.
The conversion bonds were all issued
subsequent 10 its adjournment. Let the
delegates be elected from taxpayers by
meeting at the county court houses,
an,, when it assemblies let it address
is,clf TO the work OF organization. That
i, all that is necessary to secure reform.
II may come either through a good
nomination by the republicans or ay their
defeat if they nominate bad man.

A Semi Centennial Sermon.

Christmas day being very inclcment
DR.. Walker deferred preaching his semi
centennial sermon until Sunday last. It
was listened to by large congregation
with feelings of tender emotion, for to
many of his hearers he has been the

youth aud the comforter of age. We
understand that the sermon, much of
which is historical in character will be

A Record for the on!holdera.

one tninKS OF tHiS eApeu'e III 'uS hS"'
that the proportion Of those who know
how to read is smaller than any other
state the extravagant love for printing
is singular; but when We consider chat
no where else do the times demand from
a politician so many sudden changes Of
opinion as here, it is really surprising
that The records, by which the course Of
each can be traced in all its devious
windings, should not be suppressed.
The holders of South Carolina bonds
may look with profit upon list ofnamas
of those recorded as vo'ing for the
Validating BIZ in the last general
assembly and comparing it with list Of
those, who, being members of the ple-
sent legislature, have just voted for a
''repudiating bill,' declaring the same
bonds once validated by their votes now
"lull aud void.''
1t must be remembered that the vGli.
dating bill was passed with full knowl
edge of all the circumstances under
which the conversion bonds were issued,
after the fullest discussion, and in spite
Of the earnest protests OF those who
then, as cow, desired judicial dciermina-
ton of the liability Of the state, with lis
consequent investigation iuto all the
circumstances of their issue.
The bill to relieve Kimpton of all
claims Of the state and to accept his
settlement was passed at the same time
by the same vote, with the exception Of
Bascomb.
Both these votes were had in spite of
the fact that report OF a joint COM
miiiee was before the assembly show ing
the grossest mismanagement, iinot the
grossest frauds in the dealings o. Kimp-
ton and all concerned in issuing the bonds
Of the state.
Let them also remember thai The
statesman who now sigus the regulating
bill. is the same who, as speaker Of the
house. aided the passage of the valida-
ting bill by every means known the
parliamentary law, even, rs some think,
stretching the great power he exercised
as speaker TO an unwarrantable extent
in lis favor.
The following voted last week in The
House for the clause rcpudlating the con-
version bonds, who being members OF
the last general assembly voted for the
bill 10 validate the same bonds:
Barker, John A.

Uniform Mean Time.

The extent of the territoryef the United
States forbids the adoption of one mean
time for railroad use, found so convenient
IN the countries of Europe. 1t is therefore
the practice, on our railroads, to run by
Portland time, New York. time, Altoona
time, or by the mean time of some other
center of railroad traffic. The Pennsyl-
Vania Railroad and some of its dependen-
eies, extending from New York to st.
Louis, use Pittsburgh time, which is
transmitted by electricity from the Ale
gheny observatory. an astronomical clock
OF the best construction being used. This
clock is regulated by telescope, aided by
other mechanism, such as the chrome
graph, which records, by the aid of cleo
trlelty. the time that the clock keeps, to
the hundredth part of a second. The tele-
scope shows its return, every twenty-four
hours, to the point of observation of a fixed
star, so that the earth itself becomes the
regulating clock of the observatory. Four

lines of telegraph enter the observatory,
one of which connects with the railroad
wires. The circuit is led through the
standard clock, in which a wheel with six
ty teeth revolves once minute. One of
the gold terminals of the wires is in con-
tact with a jewel, which is moved slightly
every second by passing tooth. At this
instant the circuits broken, and, by filing
away some of the teeth, certain beats may
be omitted, to designate the end of the
minute, while another piece of mechanism
holds the circuit open for the last minute
in each hour. The action is purely auto
matte and continuous, and the clock beats
are repeated, through the twenty-four
hours, in the principal offices at Pitts
burgh, with which they are united by a
line specially devoted to their use. At a
certain hour the current is switched into
the main circuit, and then the clock may
virtually be heard ticking in New York
and Chicago, and at every intermediate
station, az the same instant. The system
has been in use, as the official standard of
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and its
eastern connections, for some years; more
recently it has been extended to the west
ern roads. The aggregate length Of main
and branch lines thus supplied is several
thousand miles.-Anaerican Exchange and

yantageous circumstances-ha the super
vision of the house and during the season of

lncompetency of help, to do more than /
ought, and, of course, suffered dreadfully.

hand, and did all I could to bring " order out

and continuing the remedy find after using
less than one bottle to be so much benefited
that | have discontinued the use, with no re-
gurn OF the symptoms of which wrote you

distress was the consciousness of not procur-
ing relief from ordinary sources. at times it
seemed about impossible to stand 30 great was
the distress. All of those severe neuralgic
pains have disappeared, they were so bad at
tunes could hardly walk without some ex-
ternai pressure. They seem to have left me
like magic, suddenly, and have had no return !:
all other symptoms have been removed, The
severe weakness and faintness have disap-
peared, and can go UP stairs with compare
