How Southern Gentlemen Aet.


Hyou have ever been Of the opinion that the
people along the line of the Central road didn't
know how to put down any manifestation of
civil rights, you were very much mistaken.
The IrHinton Sosthsrner gives an example.
On Thursday morning last 9 negro, dressed a
Ia mode, presented himself at the door of the
passenger coach Of the up train, at .Millen,
conducted BY Mr.. NARROW, one Of the best con-
ductors in the State, and demanded admission.
Mr.. NARROW informed him that q splendid
coach forward, for persons Of color, would re-
ceiye him. He demurred, and said that he
had paid frst-class fare, and would put up
with nothing less than seat with the white
folks. Mr.. NARROW, seeing that the negro's
object was to bring suit under the civil rights
Law against the company, admitted him, and
he took his seat. TAere were few ladies and
helf dozen gentlemen In the car when he
entered. In Q few minutes the gentlemen SIM
ultaneously took seats around the civil Fighter
and commenced chewing tobacco and splitting
upon him. BE applied to Mr.. NARROW for pro-
lection, who informed him that he had as
much as be could do TO protect himself. Sui
leniy and silently he bore the indignity until
his face, coat, vest and pants were discoiored
BY the saliva which was squirted upon him
from the mouths Of his tormentors. FINALLY
one OF them eroye, and proceeding to tie
water-eooler filed his caPacious mouth with
half gallon Of the fluid, and marching slowly
and solemnly 10 front Of the negro he, with the
force Of fire engine, squirted 1t into the face
and bosom Of the man and brother. This was
more than be could bear, and be left for the
car set apart for people of his color. There;
was scarcely word uttered all the time. and
1t was Q cool and effective way to defest the
civil rights bill. t,sse - f-.l--

In ANOTHER coLUMN Is an article from
the Savannah Rescs which presents char
acteristic drama Of real life in Georgia. A.
respectable negro. bearing 8 frst-class
ticket, occupies frst-class coach. in which
are several exponents Of the white mans
Go1ernment and members of the high
strung aristocracy. They do not arise ss
one man and haul him headlong from the
car they do not taunt him with phraseol-
ogy unbecoming to gentlemen ; they do not
sneer and scof at him and treat him as q
nonenitY. No, they are Southern gentle
men, former owners of slaves, born In CHI
valric times with blue blood veins attached,
and they simply gather about the solitary
man, and In bold, business-like way ex-
pectorate the juice Of the filthy upon
him until he presents repulsiye sight and
is forced to leave his quarters. This, cries
the Ntsos triumphantly, is ga cool and
effective way Of defeating the civil-rights
bill" Why, venal vulgarity In we'll
regulated community would stand sbashed
at such deed as this, while the personif-
cation of mean brutality itself would blush
deep red to SO treat q dog,

THE PROSPECTIVE "FAMILIsTKRH" of
Washington seems to be attracting great
attention in various parts Of the country
since Miss Kate Stanton's series of Social
Palace letters opened in THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN. This young lady is &C.
counted one Of the most accomplished ly-
ceum orators in the country, and the wide
interest already awakened in the Familis-
tere is abundant indication that her lecture,
''The Unerowned Sovereigns, in which
she treats in part upon the great Godin
and his Familistsre, will prove the most
important, as well as entertaining address
of the coming lecture season. Success to
her, and rare pleasure to her audiences.

No HOLIDAY Of all the year fills the mind
of Young America with grsnder visions Of
lively fun and general jollifcation than the
day we celebrate. It is the time prescribed
by the patriotism of our forefathers when
boys and fre-crackers shall form mutual
associations for the purpose Of exploding
each other, and the respective records Of
Of this day bear positive evidence that the
exclamatiye cracker Is generally worsted,
although there are exceptional cases where
the boy has made sorrowful looking
corpse. The inventive genius Of pyrotech-
nical tendency astonishes the world at
every succeeding year by the creation Of
some new article Of noisy and explosive
character. This season it is bomb-not
the autiquated Chinese affair of immemorial
usage and expensive construction. but one
of Yankee origin, complete in all its ap-
pointments for noise, disturbance, confa-
grafton and death. Any small boy of suf1i.
cient nerve capacity, with an income Of
fifty cents per month, can afford to purchase
enough of these bombs to-day to make one
street corner the scene of his operations and
successfully repel score Of opponents
armed with the cracker and barking tor
pedo. Human nature, softened by the pa
triotic influences Of the dAylin remarkable
degree, willingly submits TO the manifold
inconvenience occasioned by the youthful
manipulations of theoe explosive playthings,
such as terrible confagrations mortally
woundings, horse frightenings and disas-
trous runawsys-the general litter of both
house and street. But when member of
the pantalooned and short jacket generation
with malice aforethought attaches bundle
Of crackers to the wsg of 8 neighbor's dog,
and ceony introduces that animal into the
hall of the neighbor's house with instruc-
tions for him to secure comfortable quarters
wheresoever it seemeth to him best, then
the time has come for the rod to wake up
and come down, TO see If it cannot accom-
plish some good for suffering humanity.
Boys, with an their varied natures and Pc
culiar characteristics, are an important and
indispensable feature Of the human race,
but there are times when these diminutive
items of humanity will bear tiresome
amount Of watching. and the day we cele.
brate Is the most important of them all.

ATHENAEUE EXAMINATION.

The public examination of the pupils
of the Columbia Athen8um COM
meuced in the Study-Hall, on Tues
day June 18th, and continued three
days. The examination exercises
proper, were enlivened by the intro
duction of music, Rotations. and COM
positions. The examination was
creditable to the teachers and pupils,
being the most thorough and the
most successful we have witnessed
The plan of examination adopted by
the President, although embarrassing
to the pupils, was an evidence that
nothing had been gotten up for the
occasion; and the prOmptness and
general correctness of the answers
showed how faithfully the teachers
had performed their duty, and how
assiduous must have been the applica-
ton of the pupils to their various
studies, during the scholastic year.
The classes, on being called, promptly
took their places; and, after state
ment by the respective teachers of
what they had studied and reviewed,
were handed over to the mercy of the
board of examiners, who "handled
them without Gloves No textbooks
were rsed by the board of examiners,
and generally, the examples and prob
lens, in the mathematical eXamina-
tions, were given as they occurred to
the mind. That some should fail, I'M
der the circumstances, is not to be
wondered at, and that the great ma
jority were successful is wonderful.
1t was remarked, by one of the board,
that after an absence of two years
from the examinations, he could see a
great improvement, and noticed the
rise in the standard Of scholarship
required. It is a matter of cOngratu-
lation, that our schools are giving
public proofs of improvement, both
in work performed and in the standard
of attainment required. "a

Walton Of character. The country jour
nalism of Vermont and Western Massa-
chusetts is perhaps the best weekly jour
nalism in the Nation But if halt the pa
pers published in the district could be
stricken out of existence, it would be a
great boon 10 the country and the public.
Berkshire County, fer instance, would be
much better off With three weekly papers
than with six. The notion that every VII
lage must have its representative paper
and every local boss poltian his organ,
needs to be done away vii d. 1t is the
curse of country journalism. One jour-
nal properly conducted can honOrablly
represent the interests of several neigh
boring villages, and the fewer newspa-
pers the bosses have, the better the news
papers are, the more fortunate the peo-
ple.' There is not little good sense
here. The same economy which drives
many publishers, perforce, into the adop-
ton of patent outsides aud insldes, will
eventually drive more into consolation.
Double sometimes treble expenses have
the divided revenue of two and three diff
ferent circulations, when all thrown into

HEALTH,

The belief is cherished that there is
not in the South, a place more entire
ly exempt from disease of every kind,
than the city of Columbia. The Athe
nRum, moreover, enjoys an airy site,
with no sunken grounds, stagnant
water, or any other known local cause
of disease anywhere near it, or in this
region of country. But notwithstand-
ing the proverbial healthfulness of the
climate, it's deemed proper to make
the best provision for those cases OF
occasional indisposition, from which
no situation can always be exempt.
Distant patrons may rest assured that
such cases of sickness as may occur,
will be kindly and faithfully treated,
under the best medical care and cOun-
sci. Parents or guardians residing
near Columbia, are requested, on en-
tering their daughters at the Athe-
neum, to designate the physician who
shall attend upon them. Distant pa
irons will please direct to what extent
we shall use the telegraph in COM
municating with them.

Senator Christiancy, of Michigan, was
elected to fill the place of the notori-
Gus Zachariah Chandler, of "blood-let-
ting" proclivities. The new Senator s
course was looked to with much interest,
and when he was found to be man OF
conservative views, it was taken as an evil
dence OF change in the minds of that in
tensely Republican State. The 29th OF
May was celebrated at the capital by a
decoration of Federal dead. Senator
made a speech, and used the following
manly and truly patriotic words-words,
if uttered by all northern speakers, would
soon heal the wounds of war:
ave are met to commemorate our illus
trious dead,-our friends, neighbors, and
kindred, who in'the hour OF danger went
forth to battle, and sacrificed their lives
for the preservation of the country and
the free institutions which they believed
and we believed were essential to free
dom and republican government. Their
patriotism and generous selfsacrifce de-
serve our gratitude aud admiration, and
their heroism and devotion, by which the
republic has been saved should be al
ways kept fresh in our memories. But in
eulogizing their patriotism aud their
achievements, let US indulgein no spirit Of
exultation ever the vanquished, by whom,
as we believe, that terrible conflict was
wrongfully aroused and for many years
bravely and horoically sustained. They
also we're our brethren snd kindred, of the

selves. Born and educated under a diff
| ferent system, with many ideas of socie
ty and of government different from our
own, though as we believe mistaken and
acting upon false principles, many if not
most of them went into the war with as
much sincerity and devotion as we did,

Bunker HILL these inhospitable words:

atone for past rebellion by increased fu-

must not presume on the maguaDimous
and forgiving spirit of the North and
that he would not agree to welcome them

HAPPINESS.

Happiness is pleasure that we enjoy
each day in life, though few know its
value, and are ever ready to object to
pleasant situations. Happiness should
be very highly valued, and much
appreciated by all. Many of us are
daily blessed with opportunities, and
advantages, that others, if they could
have the same, would appreciate
much more. Happiness is generally
to be found in the homes of the poor.
and not among the wealthiest classes
Of society. Examples of happiness
are often noticed among the lower
animals, but few follow examples. aud
the advice given them. Happiness is
scarcely ever known by SCHOOLGIRLS,
as they know little how to value it,
\ desire for happiness should be
sought by every one, and in every
family
The whole civilized world seems
to be ina better state of happiness at
this period than has ever before been
known. Where the difference ba-
tween right and wrong is known, it
seems that happines ought TO be pres
ent. The most ignorant persons are
generally more capable of Judging
states and degrees of happiness than
those who are more enlightened
Happiness is worthy of praise and its
possessions is an honor for which
all should strive.
