Witherspoon, Of New Orleans, is on q
visit to Columbia, in the interests of q
volume to bs published by subscription,
by Rev. Dr.. b. n. Palmer, upon ..The
Life, and Letters Of James Henley
Thornwell, D. D., LID" Nothing need
be snid in this community of the value
and interest which n work is likely to
have whose theme is Thornwell, and
whose author is Palmer. Here DR..
Thornwell lived and labored, and here
admiration for his genius and learning,
and regard for his noble character and
Christian virtues, have survived the ra-
wages Of war, the upheavals of the social
system and the efiacing fingers of time
Itself lie was the strength and orna-
ment rs much of the State as of the
church. We have reason to be proud Of
his fame. His writings have made pro-
found impression on the nge, and arc
destined to much larger growth in tho
regards of thinkers everywhere, The
iife OF such man, from the pen of one
long and closely associated with him,
whose qualifications for the task are un
equaled in the fullness OF his knowledge
and the literary power and skill which
enables him TO sdorn everything he
touches, will be At and welcome COM
panion to those volumes he has left-at
once the delight md study of scholars
and divines. It will be embraced in
thirty-si1 chapters, making IN octave
volume of about GOO pages. 1t promises
to be exhaustive, learned and highly ap-
preciatiye, and Us delightful from it's
cordial and loving spirit, rs it will be
admirable from its reach of thought and
excellence of literary execution.
1,5O0 subscribers will insure the pub
hcation of this work. 1t is expected that
MS many thousand will be ordered in the
South alone. Mr.. Witherspoon has met
very decided success in his canvass of
Charlotte, n c., Lancaster, Yorkvillc
Chester, Rock Hill and Winnsboro.
Himself native of South Carolina, a
graduate of the College, and licentiatc
of the Theological Seminary at this
place, he has undertaken this canvass
out Of affection to the memory of DR..
Thornwell, who was dear to him in per
sonal relations and Christian sympathy
He is warmly commended to our citizens
in his labor Of love.

t4.s sPRIcxx4Esa REsULTs. The Philadelphia
journals are at last beginning to realize
how necessary it is for newspapers run
ming a centennial celebration to pacify
allS elements' of opposition, thereby
STRENGTHENING the ground on which it
stands. Hero is the Press, very sur
prisingly making such remark rs this,
that,''if the bitterness of our recent fcuds
survives the centennial year, we shall
despair of the republic. Urging oil the
States to go to Philadelphia on the 4th OF
July, 1876, tho late Radical roarcr ronrs
US gently, like Bottom, the weaver, pro
posed to do in the play, after this
fashion:
"Local celebrations are we'll enough,
but they do not appeal to national feel
some spot yhallowed by some;act of nn-
tionnl Significance. For the first time
since the.war between the States an op-
pertunity will be offered us to look each
other in the face at the old homestead,
and find there the bond that makes all
akin. We are sure there is no intclli-
gent citizen Of the North who would not
throw up his Int for the union of the
States in the sense contemplated by the
fathers. The manly utternnces of the
Mecklenburg orations indicate the cx-
istence of patriotic aspirations among
the people Of the South. Next year the
men of Concord and the men of Mecklen-
burg will be brought together, to pledge
anew over the common altar of indie
pendence their fealty and devotion to a
common country"

Mr. EDlToR:Thc Herald. of yesterday,
in giving n report Of the Catholic Sun
day School picnic of the day previous,
omitted the names of severnl of the
ladies equally rs deserving of mention
as those contained therein. Among
these may be mentioned Mrs. Robert
lynch. Miss Lynch, Mrs. james Kelly
and the Misses Heutmncher, (Sundnv
School teachers,) Miss Ellen B1cGuin-
ness, Mrs. Motz, Mrs. Weidenfcllow,
Mrs. 7. Cantwell, and last, but not least,
Mrs. Reed, whose untiring energy and
assiduity in her cndeavors to please and
wait on everybody no spectator could
possibly fnjl to notice. I desire not to
detract from the merit due the ladies
mentioned in the report of the MiuM,
but merely to do justice to the other
ladies equally interested, and who spared
neither time nor means to make it n
success. But our portly reporter and
friend of the Herald is not to blame for
his invidious distinctions in this matter.
We ascribe 1t to that button-holinc of
our reporter on the back piazza, about S
o'clock that evening, by certain lady,
who hns exhibited n mania for newspaper
puffs, and who seemed to assume all the
responsibility for MI committees ap-
pointed for tho occasion. Where did

The edit2r Of the Piedmont Virginian
does not beat around the bush. Last
week he was compelled, owing to the de-
linquency Of subscribers and advertisers,
to issue his paper on half sheet. His
explanation is characteristic and will
probably induce those who should sup
port him to come to time. We append
it as a specimen Of what journalist can
say when he gets real mad: "Owing to
the meanness of our patrons in not pay
ing us money enough to buy paper, we
are compelled to issue half sheet this

BEEcHER-TILToN.- Porter spoke
five days in the Beeoher trial. Only one
OF the jurors sickened under the nauseat-
ing trial. It speaks we'll for the stomachs
OF Gotham men. Christendom and
Christianity was never before disgraced
by such trial. AS general thing, the
back-sliding brother like Beecher elopes
with the guilty woman and goes to
preaching out West It were we'll for
Christianity and the church if Beccher
Ind followed tho usual custom. The
sanity woman who ought to know, says
Beecher is guilty. She would not have
said so for the world if the fact had not
been 30. It is true, she now says her
certificate charging guilt upon Beecher
was untrue, but in this we believe she is
false. Mr.. Evarts will close the case,
and by way Of earning his 500, 900 fee,
he will no doubt initiate Judge Porter
and talk week, and then Beecher will
be acquitted.

Didn't Want to be "Distarbed."

Mr.. ED1roR: Not long ago, had the
pleasure of being one of fishing party,
and after walking up and down the banks
of the river till we were tired and ex-
hausted, we halted alongside an old
'dark," who seemed to be fishing very
patiently at an ''old fishing place. AS
soon rs our basket had been set down,
and the two or three little sun-driod cats
we had caught were laid on top of it,
the old "dark" rolled up his eyes and
said: "No use fishin' here, boss; nlega-
tor-cooter done poke up he head out dare
and intimidated all de fish away" We
were not discouraged at this, for we knew
the place to be good one, and we had
reason to believe the fisherman n little
selfish. To make matters right, we asked
the old "sharp" to have little rye, Mt
which he smacked his lips, and before
the drink had half ttouched bottom, " he
said, with, n grin: Tank you, sar; I
wouldn't be s'priscd eff dat alegator-c
hasn't gone peace furder down; 'spose
you fish 'roun here for m hour or SO. :"
We took his advice. and were rewarded
by long string of fish. The old "dark, -
after he had gotten drink or two from
us, acknowledged he had not seen an
alegator-cooter, rs he called it, in a week,
but he said he didn't want to be "dis-
tarbed. ss. SQUIB.

COLD STEAM. A Philadclphinn has in

elastic fluid. which can he called by no

using fire or chemicals, the power now
obtained from water by fire anil called

wood, without the use Of fire, and with
out the use of chemicals, ut cost of not
one cent. The fifteen horse power en-
gine has been run twenty-three consecu-

less than five minutes. The advantages
claimed for it over steam, in addition to
obviating the cost Of fuel and the DELAY
Of taking it, are thus stated: "The
smoke-stacks of STEAMBOATS, will disap-
pear, their boilers be taken out, and the
great danger Of fire and explosion will
be removed" It's applicability is also
said to be even greater than that of steam.
