LETTER fRJn GEN. NJ. Q. BUTLEE.-
Gen. NJ. Q. Butler, whose name has been
mentioned i'll connection with the re-
cent disorders in Hamburg, s. G., has
written o letter in which he charges that
the recent troubles are chargeable to
the intoleraole outrages OF the colored
outlaws who infest the town, and de-
eiares that there is no law for white men
in Hamburg. In conclusion Gen Butler
says:
/ might have avoided the storm by
fleeing FROM it. But conceived that i
had certain duties to perform and Twas
not brought up in that school which al-
lows any man to desert his friends and
clients when they are in danger, and
their families and property in jeopardy
am indifferent to the opinion of those
bowling hypoerites, and ask no favora
at their hands, and shall grant none
Their threats of United States soldiers
have no terrors for me or the people OF
Edgetield. We have had these soldiers
with us and have no objection to their
coming again We have found the Of
fcers gentlemen as q general thing, and
the men orderly aud law-abiding, and
they will do no more than execute thelr
orders and enforce the law. l invite :!
judicial investigation and am prepared
to submit to the arbitrament of the law.
and such is the feeling, as far as l have
been able to learn, Of every white man
who is any degree connected with the
affair. The white men of this country
haye some rights which the negroes are
bound to respect.

q Undoubtedly Kidnapped
Champaign, ILL.,. Excited by
Two Beautiful Girls.

A Champaign. Illinois, special
to a St Louis exchange, says: Two
children in this colnty, beautifuI
little girls. agel respectively six
and seven years, claim to have
BEEN stolen from Kansas and
brought here. Toe case has at
tracted very little notice until re-
gently, when it came TO the knowl-
edge of Mr.. f. Snyder, editor of
&c Urbana Republican. Consid-
eiable excitement has now sprung
UP. BY visiting one of the child
rem, and other persons, your CORE
spondent learned the following
facts: The children were brought
into the northwest part of this
county Two years ago by an old
man and woman over eighty
years of age each. The woman,
having fallen sick, was left, with
the children, at the farm house of
Mr.. Montjoy. Homes were found
for them in different parts of the
county. The children talked about
their parents, and said they were
stolen by these old people; that
they lived in Kansas; had a large
white house that had stairs, and
that they were taken into large
covered wagon while their mother
had gone to get water at a brick
yard; that the old folks whipped
them to make them get into the
wagon, and that they never saw
their parents afterward. The one
visited says that she used to ride
with her pa on white horse. She
says her name was Minnie White,
and her sisters name Ada, and
her pas name Leigh White. Her
mothers name she does not seem
to know. They appear to have
been we'll bred. The old woman
declines to give any expression at
all as to how she came by these
children. Little Minnie says she
wants to see her ma. 1t is said
she always shows alarm at the
sight of a movers wagon. When
the children were brought here
they had very little clothing. One
of them is still in a distant part of
the county, and the other is now
at Urbana. There is a general
conviction among those who have
known the circumstances longest
that these bright-faced children
were stolen from their mother.

LOSS IN DEHA rs.

The following quaint but forcible
ytsses are by Robert Southall, a poet
of the feign of Elizabeth, executed at
Tyburn for his religion, in the year
1896:
shun delsys, they breed remorse.
Take their time, while time ia |, MT thee
Creeping snails have weakest force,
Flv thy fault, lest thou repent thee;
Col Is best when soonest wrought.
Lingering labor comes to naught.
Hoist up sail while gale doth last,
Tide and wind stay no mans pleasure
seek not time when time is past,
Sober speed IS VISIONS leisure
After wits are dearly bought.
Let thy forewit guide thy thought.
Time wears all his locks before,
Take thou hold upon his forehead;
When be flies he turns no more,
And behind his scalp is naked;
Works adjourned have many stays,
Long demurs breed new delays.

BE Economical.

"Take care of. the pennies. "
Look well to your spending. No
matter what comes in, if more
goes out you will be always poor.
The art is not in making money,
but in keepingit. Little expenses,
like mice in a barn, when there
are many, make great waste. Hair
by hair, heads get bald; straw by
straw the thatch goes off fine cot
tage, and drop by drop the rain
comes into the chamber. A barrel
is soon empty, if the tap leaks but
drop minute. When you mean
to save, begin with your mouth;
many thieves pass down the red
lane. The ale jug is a great waste.
In all other things keep within
compass. Never stretch your legs
| further than your blankets will
reach, or you will soon he cold. In
clothes choose suitable and lasting
stuff, and not tawdry fineries. To
Zoe warm is the main thing, never
mind the looks. A fool may make
money, but it needs wise man to
|Spend it. Remember, it is easier
% build two chimneys than to
keep one going. If you give all
20 back and board, there is nothing
left for the savings bank. Fare
hard and work hard when you
are young, and you will have a
chance to rest when you are old.
