AhbeYille Items.

The Abbeville Medium makes the
following interesting mentions:
Dennis Padgett, colored, was in
town Monday with mule ninety years
old. He has worked one hundred
acres of land with said mule this year.
John Gilmore last week invited
Charles Bolts, Robert Cochran and
three hands to help him thrcsh his
wheat. After eight hours hard work,
they measured out eight and half
bushcls-his whole crop. First Of the
season.
Solomon Cowan, colored, of Due
West, in making a return Of his proper
ty, estimates his dog as worth five dol.
lars, and his household furniture and
personal property at three dollars.
Man wants but little" &c.
Arthur Jefferson, the colored couu-
ty commissioner, always likes to occu.
py prominent position in a political
meeting. He says smart things you
know. and interrupted Purvis last
Friday. but he got away with hin" "
He spoke of the different kinds of
men; the white wouldn't 60 down
with some; the black were objectlona,
bic to others, and the yellow were
nothing. Jefferson is yellow.

"RIcHEs TAKE WINGS" 1t is
not ouly individuals who have sudden
ly increased in prosperity and as sud-
denly gone down into nothingness !;
there are cities of which the same can
be said. Such one is Pithole City,
Pa. Within one month from the COM
plction Of the first house this city had
telegraph Office and hotel, costing
the owners $4,000. In one month
more there was daily paper es-
tablished. and in the next theatre :;
in another mouth another theatre,
and then an academy of music
In six months there were seventy-four
hotels and boarding houses; in the
seventh month the city had reached
its highest prosperity. It then had
about $4,000 inhabitants, elaborate
water works, a city hall and an expeu-
sive city government. Then occurred
the completion Of a labor-saving enter
prise, the so.called Miller Farmer Pipe
line, by which the petroleum was sent
off independent Of the laboriug popula-
ton. At once 1000 persons were
thrown out of employment, while 1000
houses became useless; this was the
death blow to Pithole City. At once
the hotels, the theatres and the tele-
graph office we're closed, and the daily
paper gave up the ghost, while almost
every one packed mis- trunk and moved
out. Only nine families remain out
of a population of 5000 souls, while
the railroad from Pithole ard Oleopo-
lis runs only one train a day, consist
ing of a locomotive and~a single car,
which usually is easpty; but the COM
pany is obliged to keep running other
wise the charter for the road would be
lost. They still hope against hope for
better times for that unfortunate city,
which, in only seven months, was
born. full grown, got sick and died.
Undoubtedly this is case unparallel-
ed in history, modern or ancient !;
neither Egypt nor Greece can give
examples ofsach rapid changes

what "Waferee' Saw at
CQpnn'S.

One of the late weekly Hops at
Gleun's is described by "Waterec' as
creating a sensation in that for so long
quiet place. 1t is highly gratifying
to know that this once famous resort
is fast regaining its old prestige, and
no where else will this knowledge give
greater pleasure than in Newberry, a
section which has always sent large
representation there. In describing
the personal appearance of the ladies
who were in full force from all the ad-
jacent country round, "Waterec" says:
"What attracted the attention Of
your correspondent, who, by-the-way,
is rheumatic old sore-head, was to
learn, without inquiring, where the
girls got all the hair they wore. They
wore it in switches of all lengths, from
twenty inches to four feet; they built
it in stories-some with plain attics,
while some with mansard roofs, leav-
ing painful impression that they
might tumble down at any moment
like gold in panic; some Gold maids
wore one curl, others two; many had
it scrambled over the forehead, while
a few had it artistically disarranged in
the style which made such a sensation
last winter at the Cabinet and foreign
Minister'S reception at Washington,
and which is known to artists in hair
as the "chicken scratch" style"

Female Education.

The lately published programme OF
the commencement exercises of Vale
Crucis Ladies Seminary, located near
the city of Columbia, revealed several
pleasant features in the varied and
thorough course of instruction through
which the young ladies under its care
are carried. Besides the general ac-
cepted branches of female education,
which includes all the ornamental and
light accomplishments Of the day
music-vocal and instrumental paint
ing, embroidery, wax work, ETC., the
pupils are instructed in the culinary
art and other no less important house,
hold duties. We believe this is the
only institution in the State which
makes this latter part Of the system OF
female education, and it is entitled to
the highest credit. Such an example
is worthy Of imitation in the highest
degree, and it might be we'll if other
institutions which are now only dcvo-
ted to the development of female IN
tellect and polite training would adopt
siuilar course. The argument may
be advanced that such training may
be given at home. True it may and
should be, but how often is it neglect
ei. After term of years spent IN
college the young lady returns home
and at once prepares for society
Pardonable pride on the maternal side
opposes the idea of the daughter en-
tering the domains of the kitchen, she
was educated to be a lady, aud fill a
higher position. The next step per-
haps is matrimony, and soon the young
lady is called upon to fill the most I'M
portant position in life. without any
experience, or half an idea Of what is
expected of her. Domestic failure
follows in many instances. In others,
however, it is pleasant to say, the sit
uation is mastered by natural intuition
and good practical sense, and then all
is we'll. We have looked over the pro-
gramme of Valle Crucis commencement
with much satisfaction, and find that
each one of the pupils of that lnstitu-
tion are honorably mentioned as hav-
ing attained distinction in some par
ticular of household economy, from
the drawing Of tea and coffee through
the long, substantial role of bread
making and the preparation of meats
and poultry, all the way down to pas,
try and cakes. A girl with a finished
education, which embraces a knowl,
edge of the above, is worth a dozen Of
others who are ignorant Of them, 50
far as the practical every day affairs
of life are concerned. Now we are
not opposed to young lady's recelv'
ing a thorough education according to
the present system, by no means, al
that We desire is that it be carried a
little further, and some portion Of
the time spent at school be devoted
to practical affairs, that when the
graduate returns home, il called upon
to exercise her talents in bread making
or any thing else, she may not be at
loss, or be at the mercy Of ignorant OF
contrary servants.

This delightful Summer resort IS SIT

North Mountain. Its great elevation
renders it entirely free from the tog5
and dampness that so frequently pre-
vail at watering places. The alr Is dry
and invigorating, and the temperature
so low that heavy coats are comfortable
at all times. There are several Mine

the Sulphates, those of Iron and Mag

there is besides considerable quantity
of Free Sulphuric Acid. This water
has wide reputation throughout the

cures it has affected in scrofulous dis

manifest an impoverished condition of

about 800 visitors, mainly from the

ing features about the present num-
Der of this leading Southern agricul-
tural periodical. The first is a very
-LA.><as1,...1- 1-eDAn+ispiAnA, giving tho GrSt
aud only engraving of the celebrated
Eucalyptus tree that has ever been
published in this country. The sec
ond is an able article from the pen Of
that distinguished agricultural writer,
C. w. Howard, Of Georgia. The
Eucalyptus represented in the fron5is-
piece was planted in 1868: and was
not six years old when the photograph
was taken from which the engraving
was made. It is, nevertheless: fifty
six feet high, and the engraving
shows it towering above the roof of a
TWO story house, while a man who
stands in it's shade near the trunk
looks very diminutive. Mr.. Howard S
article treats of "Turnip, Sheep Hus-
bandry, and Soil Improvement at
the South, and is characterized by
the vigor Of style and thoroughness Of
knowledge that always mark his writ
ings. While these are the two lead
ing feature Of this number, and we
cannot help congratulating the Rural
Carolinian on securing the co-opera-
tion of so valuable and influential a
writer as Mr.. Howard, it contains,
moreover, great variety Of articles
and information, all of interest and
importance. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken is
