We u,1ote the following description

We quote the following description
of an estate, lying on the Ashley Riv-
er in South Carolina, from Har-
pers luonthIy for December. Any
thing concerning the luxuriaDt beauty
of he South has double charm to us
now that winter with all its rigor is
upon US: o
The glory Of the garden is the gor-
geous coloriug of the azaleas, some
of .he bushes sixteen and seventeen
feet through by thirteen feet high
solid masses of blossoms in all the
shades Oh red, from palest pink to
deepest crimson, and now and then a
pure white bush, like bride in her
snowy lace It is almost impossible
to give Northerner an idea of the
af1uence of color in this garden when
its flowers are in bloom. Imagine a
long walk, with the moss draped live
eaks over head, fairy lake and bridge
in the distance, and on each side the
great fluffy masses of rose and pink
aud crimson, reaching far above your
head, thousands upon tens of Thousands
of blossoms packed close together, with
no green TO mar the intensity of their
color, rounding out in swelling curves
of bloom down to the turf below, not
pausiug few inches above it and
showing bear stems or trunk, but
spreading over the velvet, and trailing
out like the rich robes of an empress
Stand on one side aud look across the
lawn; it is like mad artists dream oil
hues; it is ike the Arabian nights; eyes
that have never had color enough fnd
here a full feast, and 60 away satisfied
a. last. And with ali their gorgeous
ness, the bues are deiicately mingled
the magic effect is produced not by un.
broken banks of crude reds, but by
blended shades, like the rich Orienta
patterns of India shawls, which the
European designers. with all their ef-
forts, can never initiate Sometime;
in Northern gardens one sees, carefully
tended, little bed of scarlet gerani
ums all in bloom. or else mound O
verbenas in various shades, inasin,
these twelve or thirteen feet high ex
tending in long vistas in all directions
as far as the eye can reach, and you
have faint idea of the beautiful
spring garden of Magnolia.

The PUNURIoUs POSTAL CAR

The PUNURIoUs POSTAL CARD
One sees some really Napoleonic
streaks of meanness at the outcome of
the postal card system. The audacity
is sometimes superb. A writer saves
sheet of paper, au envelope, stamp
Tor postage and also the usual stamp
for return postage-all by one dexter
Gus postal card. The spirit Of econo-
my could no further go. But really,
whats right in courtesy have letter.
writer's who do not consider their cor
respondents of importance enough to
give their epistles to them the poor
compliment Of an enclosure? How is
a communication to be entertained
when the writer confesses by the pos
tai card that it isn't worth sheet of
paper and postage stamp? That the
postal card is very useful for circular
notes, for announcement, for communi-
eating any simple fact that does not
call for response, no one can deny.
But We submit that social custom
ought to establish a nlissive Of this
kind calling for response, excepting
on business matters concerning the re-
cipient, is an impertinence; and that
postal card, partaking Of the nature of
correspondence as ordinarily under
stood, it is entitled to no respect or
consideration whatsoever. = appleton

THIN ANGEL OF PAIN.

Angel of pain, think thy face 81 eak

Joy wearles and forsakes desire; - az
Hope falters face to face with Fate,

EGYPTIAN Docs. DIR. S. Birch, of
the British Museum, author of the
late condensed history of Egypt from
the Monuments" has contributed to
the Transactions of the Society of BIZ
blical Archaeology paper in which
he describes, with numerous illustra-
tions the different breeds of domestic
dogs kept by the Ancient Egyptians.
The materials for the paper have been
derived mainly from the frescoes on
ancient tombs; and these show that
the varieties of the dog known to the
Egyptians were quite as well marked
as those existing at the present day.

: AN UNDERGRouND LAKE. There
is now little doubt that subterranean
vein of water extends under greater
portion of the city lying north Of the
river The average depth of the sur.
face is about 90 feet and when the
vein is we'll reached the water rises in
the we'll to within a few feet of the
top. The vein was first struck by
Heislnger Brothers as will be remem-
sbered, and the workmen bad some
aifiiculty in escaping on account of
the rush of water. Beckwith had the
same experience on reaching the same
depth, and on Friday last j. j Moore,
in digging for water to supply this Of
fee struck the same vein at the same
depth, and the water poured in with
such rapidity as to fill the we'll in a
short time. The water in these wells
s inexhaustible. and when the vein is
once reached it forms perpetual

is no doubt remaining that this vein

from Denver states that troops have
been ordered from Fort Lyon, Union
Wright to the neighborhood Of Cim-
m ron. New Mexico, where, it is re-
p rted, the Apache Indians had re-
v lted. About ten days ago one of
the Apache chiefs refused to take the
ratlons offered by the Government
agent, and, after some words, the In
dian drew a revolver and shot the
Agent through the head. The affair
caused great excitement, and after the
Indian was placed in irens, the rest Of
the tribe made general disturbance
There are grave fears that a general
outbreak of the Apaches and Utes will
take place, and much anxiety is felt.

ENGLIsH ARCTIC EXPEDITION
The latest advice from the English
Arctic Expedition state that an unusu-
ally easy passage has been affected to
within leo miles Of the entrance to
Smith Sound; and it is hoped that, if
circumstances continue equally favor
able, the Pole may be reached this
year. The expedition is not expected
to return. however, until the close of
1877. July 23d, the Alert met with
slight accident, getting ground on
a small island and off Kingatok; but
the vessel foated off without injury,
with the rise of the tide.

Republican Clemency.


The assertion that the Republican
policy has been one of hatred to the
South is more than disprovcd by the
rapid manner in which political dis
abilities have been removed and the
States welcomed back to representa-
ton in Congress. That the Vice.
President of the Southern Confedcr-
acy, and scores of rebel generals are
in this Congress and to be in the
next, are due to the spirit of Kindness
and Cancellation which has actuated
the Republican party from the day
that the South grounded arms at APP
pomatox Court House. The spirit in
which this clemency has been met is
shown in the constantly rising tide of
ostraism, persecution, murder, by
which it has been followed.
This is the measure of appreciation
with viii, III the efforts made solely by
the Republican party have been met
from the very first. In other lands, a
rebellion quelled would have seen its
lead rs hung, and its inhabitants
either reduced to the condition of
vassalage, or deprived for genera
ton of all representation or voice in
their government. The great mis-
take which the Republican party
made, it is too evident to-day, has
been Oh the side of clemcncy a
clemency which, in its breadth and
generosity, in its purity, patriotism,
and disintcrestedness, has no parallel
in the history of mankind. Such are
the facts as they will be indelibly re-
corded in future years, and yet ''the
outrage mill'' grinds on!

The Cincinnati Times very tru

The Cincinnati Times very truly
affirms that the new rebellion in
Louisiana breaking out in occasional
wholesale massacres, and in brutal
outrages almost constantly recurring
when military protection is not at:
forded, is u revolt against negro suf-
frage. 1t is to exclude negro citi-
zens, and all who advocate the equal
rights of colored citizens, from any
share or influence in Government,
that the armed White Leaguers arc
banded together. This is the start
ing point Of the Southern difficulty,
and any theory or plan that fails to
recognize this fact, will be of no
avail. The people Of the country
must make up their minds either to
abandon the negro to his fate, OF to
carry through the work of his enfran-
chisement with firm hand. Ten
porizing, trimming, trucking, will
only make matters worse. The Con
stitutional amendments emancipating
and epfranchising the colored race,
are made. Shall they stand? This
is the fundamental issue. We think
they aciW stdn0.-State Register.

SCRIPTURE ON THE GRASsHoPPERS.
The plague of grasshoppers that
overrun the west last fall seems to
have been foretold in the Book of Jo-
ell, in the following words:
GA fire devoureth before them, and
behind them flame burneth; the
land is as the Garden of Eden before
them, and behind them a desolate
wilderness; yea, and nothing shall es-
cape them.
The appearance of them is as hors-
es, and as horsemen shall they run.
Like the noise of chariots on the
tops of mountains shall they leap;
like the noise of flames of fire that
devoureth the stubble; as a strong
people set in battle array.
Before their face the people shall
be much panied; all faces shall gath
er blackness. They shall run like
mighty men; they shall climb the
wall like men of war, and they shall
march every one on his way, and
they shall not break their ranks.
And | will restore to you the years
that the locust hath eaten, the can
ker worm, and the caterpillar, and
the palnter-worm, my great army
which | sent among YOU

Matilda Fletchers Trunk.
From the Des Moines Journal. !

If there be anything about which a
woman is sensitive, it is her ward
robe, and all the inWlmcrable ct Get
eras which 90 to make up her outfit,
and especially when about to set out
on a journey. The ferocity of bag
gage-smashers strikes terror to her
very soul as she irons and plaits and
rutfies, and Fuckers, folds and packs
each particular dud, with mathemati-
cal precision and care in her "Sara-
toga." One woman has sought to
work her way out of this sea Of
trouble.
Mrs Matilda Fletcher has invented
4 trunk which porters and baggage
smashers will appreciate, and travel
ing women receive with satisfaction
and calm complacency hitherto I'M
known. 1t is portable, cylindrical.
Invisible, and Questionable trunk.
The body is divided longitudinally
into two arched sections, and these
are divided transversely by partitions
which form supports for drawers, and
shelving when the drawers are re-
moved, and at all times rigid braces
to strengthen the arched sections.
Loosejoint hinges allow the sections
to he separated, and each will be a
complete article of furniture to be
moved when desired. When set up
on one section is found to be Il con
venient writing-desk, with pigeon
holes and drawers in the top part and
bureau drawers below. The other is
bureau with toilet glass ready to
fold out on top. When the drawers
are removed each section is a closet
of shelving adapted for books, etc
The compartments and drawers can
be subdivided rs desired, so that the
trunk will be a most complete recep-
tacle for packing all small and large
articles required in a travelling outfit,
and each division and article will be
accessible without removing trays
and all the contents, rs is often re-
CURED when something is wanted out
of common trunk. When it is
closed and locked the two parts mu-
tually support each other, and the
trunk can be rolled like barrel.
Letters patent have been secured
through the Iowa Patent Agency of
Dcs Moines.

Vice-Pre sident Wilson's Views.

The Springfield Mass.) RepuJH-
can, whose independence" requires
it habitually to misrepresent the utter
ances Of public men, especially if
they be Republicans, having put into
the mouth of Vice-Presidcnt Wilson
the declaration that the Republican
party is dead and certain to be de-
feated in the next election, Mr.. Will
son has written a letter to the Repub-
Hcan denying that he ever said what
it lmputes to him, or that he believes
it.
He thinks the Republican party
may yet win, and that a necessity eX-
lists for its continuing in power. He
admits that it is in danger, but asserts
that its peril comes not from it's own
fault, but from the misconduct of men
who have obtained high positions in
it. 1t must, he says, at once and ex-
plicitly declare against Presidential
third term, and thus relieve the pub
lie mind of a painful apprehension,
and put at rest, at once and forever,
the fear which does more than aught
else to ALLEVIATE the people from the
party. 1t ought to remove many
officc-holders, high and low, and es-
pecially some of the higher officers,
whose mismanagement has become
offensive to the people, and whose
conduct, both in their departments
and in general affairs, make them and
the party odious. 1t must adopt a
conciliatory though firm policy in
Southern affairs, avoiding any irritat-
ing Federal interference, and taking
off the heavy hand of the government.
The equal rights of the blacks must
be defended, butunconstitutional acts
and measures of doubtful constitu-
tionality ought to be avoided, and
the public opinion Of the North must
not be offended by violent acts ssor
language toward the South. Finally,
Mr.. Wilson thinks it necessary to
open the door to those men who
straycd off after Greeley, but whose
hearts are still with the Republican
party. They must be conciliated;
their leading men must be taken into
the confidence Of the party, and some
should be called to higher places.
