ABBEVILLE, S. C, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1874.
JUNE

June to-day has been unbinding
All the beauty of her hair;
The fragrance of her tresses
Floats through NIL the golden air,
And the greenness OF her garment
Lies about us everywhere.
There hast burst hidden odor
From each bud the sun unlocks;
There is laid rosy garland
On the brown and rugged rocks;
All along the brooks meander
Cleans the purple of the phlox'
One would think that, late last evening
While the sky hung calm and blue,
A sudden wind had shaken
All the stars in clusters through,
And bathed the sleeping meadows
In q shower of golden dew.
For the buttercups are floating
All about you, as you pass;
Far adoWn the vale, the cowslips,
Are one lush and golden mass,
And the dandelion blossoms
Are like gems among the grass.
Where the brooks with silver music,
Through the vale melodious flow,
Where the birds like painted shadows
Meath the branches come and 60,
Meath the elm trees swaying greennes!
Bloom the lilies like the SHOW.
Here I've sat for full an hour,
Gazing round me, like child,
Where the brook and river mingle,
With a rapture strange and wild,
Where about the cottage window
High the lilac bloom is piled.
And sadness, like the dinness
Coming DER twilight sky,
Steals upon me; I remember
That the beauty which doth lilo
Like dream of heaven above me,
Like dream will soon pass by.
But spirit falls upon me,
E'en as erst the passing seer
Cast the glory of his mantle
Der his brothers. grief and fear;
And voice is speaking to me,
Which my soul, alone, may hear.
And I sit, as were dreaming,
Till the low, meledious tune
Of the waters to murmur
Low and liquid seems to swoon;
In the spirit of thy beauty
Is my soul baptized, o June!

AMUSING THE CHILDREN. = A
Boston clegyman who believes in
amusements, if properly conducted,
says it is quite curious to note how
many of our people attend the cir
Gus only because they want to
"please the children;'' but still
more curious to observe that in
many instances it has taken two or
three able bodied men, with as
many strong women, to look after
one darling little boy or girl.

Relief.

People at the east seem to be Sc
riously moving in behalf of our
border settlers. We observe that
several car loads of food have ar
rived from Illinois, and a "dollar
subscription" is being largely pat
ronized in eastern cities. We fruits
that there will be no actual starva-
ton. Humilisting as ii is for our
people to receive such faVors, it is,
after all, no worse for us than for
Louisiana, Boston and Chicago, in
the time of their great calamity.
And ii may teach our settlers one
valuable lesson; that it is not safe
enterprise for absolutely penniless
people TO move out upon naked
PLAIN, expecting to live upon q sod
crop. The winter is thus far ex-
ceedingly favorable for next years
crop. The heavy SHOWS are almost
an assurance Of q season of album
| dance.
Some of our people manifest a
foolish sensitiveness on this sub-
iect. In certain localities, where
food is abundant, people hold in
dignation meetings upon the re.
ceipt of boxes from the east, and
editors "walk of on their ear" il
wrath. Thereby eastern people
anxious TO prevent distress, and
full of humanity, are bcwildered
When the boxes come, quietly
thank the donors, and forward tC
the plains.

other States would do the same.
while the cities of these States,
and especially those on the main
lines of thoroughfare, would have
opened up to them new avenues
of trade, the value of which can
scarcely be imagined. ST. Louis,
Chicago, New Orleans and San
Fran cisco, the great cities Of the
South and West, would, of course,
lead the van in the way of advan-
tages thus derived, while Mem
phis, Little Rock, Galveston, Kan
sas City, Leavenworth, Atchison,
Lawrence, Topeka, and other cities
would come in for a share. in pro.
portion to their enterprise.
Then let us all unite as one in,

forward. Much depends upon the
press. If leading journals take s

CrdgtorR'S letter.
If the government builds rail-
roads into the mines, people will go
there, dig all the gold, and spend it
for French bonnets, broad cloth
and brandy, and foreign flummery
in general, now as heretofore. We
can't see how the government treas
ury is to be benefited. If Uncle
Samuel charges a royalty on the
mines, or hires laborers to dig,
there will be such carnival of
stealing and robbery as we have
not seen yet.
No doubt the building of such a
road would be a good thing for
Kansas, in years of surplus; but let
us put the enterprise on its proper
ground of truth. Yankee miners
are not such philanthropists as to
donate specie for the payment of
the national debt.

MORE FoOL1sHNEss.

King David Kalallaua is IA porlly,
sunburned gentleman from the
Sandwich Isles. His kingdom is
about one third as large as the state
of Kansas, and consists mostly of
bare, hideous lavas, which are con-
tinually renewed by fresh eruptions.
The Kingdom has a population of
about $1,000 people, only one tenth
as many as there were a century
ago. They are of the Malay race
brown, indolent, corpulent, licen-
tious, and rapidly dying out. The
islands seem to be largely ruled by
certain adventurous desd-beats from
this country. The condition of in
dustry and morals could not well be
worse anywhere.
Our Fourth-of July orators are
wont to launch fierce invective
and red-hot defiance at the crowned
monarchs of the old world, and to
exhort suffering nations to throw
of the yoke of despotism. HOW.
ever, when any sort of titled jack.
anapes comes along, all the latent
idiocy in the nation comes to the
surface. "The King of the Canni'
bal Islands" is no exception to the
rule. He is almost as vulgar anG
unkempt a barbarian as Spotted
T Tail, but is nevertheless received
with as much generation as a Chey
/ enne chief at the Department of thu
; Interior. The fact is, there is a bis

A SAD CLosE.-A few days ago
the Probate court of Nemaha Conn-
ty declared Col. John T.. Tarr, oil
Sabetha, to be incapable of attend
ing to his own business, and ap-
pointed his son, Hammond Tarr, his
guardian. This is a sad closing of
0 once useful life. Col. Tarr was
formerly one of the most prominent
citizens and best business men of
West Virginia, and was at one time
Treasurer of that State. He has re-
sided in Kansas some four or five
years. The cause which led to
his inability to attend to his own af-
fairs, was the same that has ruined

The debt of the state of Illinois
on the lst of January, 1875, will
only be Sl,73O,97O. OF this sum,
S2J0,000 will be paid on that date,
leaving a balance of 81, 100000.
This includes $l2,22l old debt on
which interest has ceased, and
which has never been pre-.
sented for payment. The State
could readily pay the re-
niainder of a million aud a half, but
has no means of compelling the
creditors to accept their money.
Thirty-five thousand dollars falls
due January, 1877; Sl,157,4jO can
be paid in January, 1878, and S24I,
OOOIin January, 1880. AS the mon
ey to pay all this debt is in the treas
ury, or will be paid in during 1875
and 1876 without resort to taxation,
the state of Illinois may be said to
be practically free of debt, and will
probably be kept free of debt for
many years to come.
