POsthumOus Poem OF Thackeray.

King Fritz at his palace of Berlin
saw al royal carouse;
Ia Periwig powdered and curling
tie sat with bis hat his broWs.
The handsome young princes were present.
Uncovered they stood In the halj
And Oh Il Wholes0me and pleasant
To SEE how he treated them all.
RecIined on the soiest Of cushions
His majesty sits 20 his meats,
The princes, Ike loyal young Prus-ians,
Have never back % their seais.
OE salmon and veni-on aud phea-ants
lie dimes like a monarch august
Ills s9ns, II they eat IN hi- presence,
Put up with bone a
He quafs his bold bumpers o. Rhenish,
IL can't Be TOO good toas dear
The princes made % replenish
Their cups with the smallest of beer.
And ~ ever By words grimaees
Their hghnesses dare % complain,
The King filings a dish IN their faces.
or batIers their bouss with his cane.
It's thus that the chief Of our nation
The minds q his children improves,
And teaches polite education
BY boxing the that he loves.
warrant they him but seldom,
And n 20 dealt With sons,

TIE TRANSIT OF VENUS. - The cur.
rent year will become notable one IL
the annals of science, because of the
phenomenon occurring on the 9th o.
Decent Der, which is known. to astrono.
mers as the transit of Venus. Moro
than 100 yeaIs have elapsed since the
last occasion of this transit. Another
will happen in 1882, for, according tt
the laws which govern the respective
motions of Venus and the earth, the
trapsits, when they do happen, occur in
couples at comparatively short intervals
but there will then be no other transi,
until the year 1904. The phenomenon
alluded to is the passage of the planet
Venus between the earth and the sun
in such a position with regard to the
earthts orbit that Venus is seen to move
like round black spot over the SUMS
face. The importance of this phenome:
non, in scientific point of view, may
be Judged from the fact that it affords
astronomers the best means of meas:
uring the distances Of the heavenly
bodies, and cf ascertaining their weight
and dimensions.

Edward F. Stokes.

We learn from the Greenvillo Ne,cs
that Edward F. STOKES, who was
committed to the Greenvilie County
Jail six months ago for contempt OF
Court, is now in so feeble condition
that it is doubtful whether he can live
through the summer months. 1t is
suggested that the offence has been
fnlly atoned for by the sufferings and
degradation Of his long imprisonment,
and that no good can be accomplished
by prolonging his confinement, to be
ended soon, it is feared, in death. We
cordially second the suggestion that
he be released without delay. He is
a peculiar man, tenacious of his opin-
ions, unyielding in his principles, and,
as we have understood, with high
sense of honor and answering per,
sonal integrity. Such man is en-
titled to consideration, even if he be
crotchcty and obstinate. Judge Cooke
will do proper thing in having him
promptly released and restored to his
| lfriends.-Phenir.
Wcwere disposed at first to endorse
! the foregoing, but have since had oc-
casion to modify our views after read
ing q very full and clear statement Of
the legal bearings Of the case given
in an editorial of the Unio"-Herald
It seems that Mr.. Stokes was sued to
Judgment by sundry creditors, tor
debts and costs amounting to about
$4,000, and tho Sheriff having made
return Of nuua bona, and it appearing
that Stokes had considerable means,
an order was obtained from Judge
Orr, requiring him to answer upon
oath as to the amount and situation
of his property. Upon his failure to
respond, q rule was issued against
hin hin by the Same Judge. Judge Cooke
has only sought to perform his legal
duty in enforcing the order Of Judge
Orr, which was intended to protect
the rights of creditors, and which re.
quircd only on the part of Mr.. Stokes
that ho declare upon oath whether or
not he has any property, and if So
where it is. If Mr.. Stokes is insane.
4 legal steps should be taken to ascer
tain the fact, and if otherwise, he
would seem to bc responsible alone
for the hardships of his present con
dition. At any rate, we do not see
that Judge Cooke has any more dis
cretion in the matter than Judge
/ Willard or the Supreme Court, before
whom several applications on writs
of habeas corpus were made and re-
fused. The question, after all, seems
to be one of sanity. If Mr.. Stokes
is sane, he is responsible for his acts
and not least among them for biz
present obstinate refusal to answer.

TIE COMET is now approaching
the earth and sun with constantly
accelerated velocity, arriving at peri
belion (nearest the sum and perigree
(nerest the earth) about tho first o.
August. It will soon be visible only
in the early hours of evening, setting
in the Northwest. Professor Swift,
says the comet will be brightest in
the evening of August 3, being then
245 times Us bright Us at the time Of
discovery. A cometary display may
then be expected which may rival the
transit of Venus in popular as well
as in scientific interest. 1t will then
be about five degrees from Denabola;
the bri ghtest star in Leo.

THE COUNCIL OF CHANGERS. -
There was a full attendance at the
meeting of the Council of Grangers
on Wednesday, last. AS usual the
meeting was in secret session, and we
have not been furnished with any
items for publication. We learn
however, that the meeting was unan
imous in advising our planters to gel
their immigrants direct from Europe
and not from Castle Garden, The
immigrants furnished by the latter
have proved unreliable, and like
most Of those who have been exposed
to The temptations of city life, are
too well versed in ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain.

Ex-Governor Joseph E. Bro@a.

This distinguished Georgian has
recently been on visit to his old
homo in Anderson, and being serena
ded made a speech, from the report
of which in the Conservator, we ex
tract the following timely advice to
the people of bis native State:
"But there is hope for you yet
Treat the colored man honestly and
Justly. Teach him that you arc his
friend, and that the carpet-baggcl
and corrupt rulers are your common
enemy. Show him that while your
property pays its part of'the high
taxes, his labor has to pay its pro
portion also. 1t will take time tc
do this. You 'oanaot 'do it all al
once but be confronted Of gaining
over a few at time. Elect the best
men you can to Office in every in
stance. Let it make no difference
what your estimate of a man may be-
|if he is honest and capable, vote fol
him. This is no time fora multitude
of candidates. The Office should seek
the man-not the man seekthe office
| If you can only get ten good men in
the Legislature it will be a nucleus
for others hereafter, and they car
proclaim to the world you1: wrongs
You should also encourage im1nigra
ton from any quarter that will fur
nish you white men that will vote
with you, whether they como from
the North, the South,s s%ors Europe, il
they come to settle among, you Of
industrious settlers, and not as poll
,icians. You. must do the, Hegrc
even.handed justice. Recently in g
contested election in Georgia, a Re
publican was seated over o Democrat
in the Legislature-beeause he was
Eiustly elected. This is the spirit
whioh sshouldgnove you, and by 1T yor
will ugain place your State urder &
good government. You should do 1T
for it is too fne a country,to thus be
idle. It's climate and soil arc toe
good and beautiful to be wasted, and
there are too many glorious memo
ries clustering round its past history
