1t ia now two months since D1snAE11 gur-

cli4uo burst into chorus of admiration. It
was 70 like D1zzy--so dramatic. And al tho
world repeatcd that it was wonlrouxly dra-
matte md clover. Sober second thought ap-
peara to DO unable To get at nnything moro
satisfactory than This sensational element,
and tho Dramatic" pnrt Of 1t looks like
amateur thaatricals. Sir WILLIAM Hal
COURT, when delivering m asldross the
other day ut Oxford University, confessed
that tho Sucz Canal business was something
about which no prudent politician would
venture to express au opinion. 1t Is slowly
dawning on tho British public that they paid
sec, ,000, 900 for n minority interest in tho
cannl; that they tayo no voice in its man
agemont; that for nineteen years they will
derive no income whatovor from thoir Invest
n.ant; that in brief they Aayo no righta ex-
copt tho right OF boing outvotel. As mat

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.

COUNTRY PAPERs.-An exchange
combats with considerable vigor the ar
gument that the city weeklies are cheaper
and better than the country papers. 1t
asks, do they ever give you any home
news? Never. Do they contain notices
for your schools, churches, meetings, i'm.
provements and hundreds of other local
matters of interests, which your county
paper publishes without pays Not an
item. Do they ever say a word calcu-
lated to draw attention to your county
and its numerous thriving towns, and aid
their progress and enterprisef Not a
word. And yet there are men who take
contradicted views of this matter, unless
they are getting as many square inches OF
reading matter in their own papers as
they do in city paper they think they
are not getting the worth of their money.
It reminds us of the person who took the
largest pair of boots in the box, because
they cost the same as pair much smaller
that fit him.

BROADBRIM.

MONEY FOR THE ScHooLs.-The Col
umbia Union Herald mentions piece OF
"good news" for the teachers in the pub
lie schools. The State treasurer an
nounces his readiness to pay over $685.
1886. .33-there having already been dis
bursed $l66, ,666.66, making total OF
5000, 900 out of an appropriation of 25O,-
900. This may be "good news" to the
teachers, who have continually been
cheated out of their earnings ever since
1869. 1t may be consolation to them
to know that only one-ffth of their pay
from the State will not be forthcoming
for some time. A deficiency of $4,000
must be made up in some way next win
ter. Altogether the school system of this
State, managed as it has been under Re
publican administration, is about as great
a farce as was ever acted under the guise
of law. School commissioners have in
many instances been SO ignorant as to be
incapable of gaining a third-grade certif-
cate before respectable board of exami-
ners, while others have been wholly in
tent upon making money for themselves.
Of course these circumstances are not the
direct cause Of the deficiency, but they
are readily suggested when we read or
hear anything showing the ineficiency
of the public schools. We believe the
present school law to be most excellent
one: it doubtless combines all the fea-
lures that have been found most advan-
tageous in other States. But the Difficult.
ty lies in the continual waste and embez-
element of the public money by corrupt
men. AS long as the legislature contin-
ues to levy the present excessive taxes, or
as long as it continues to make appro-
priations beyond the sums likely to be
realized from the levies, so long must we
expect the public schools to be badly
managed and the teachers poorly paid.
By reducing expenses to a reasonable fig
ure, moderate tax levy would amply
suffice to run the State and county gov
ernments, and pay for schools the entire
sum now appropriated. The colored
people are decidedly the greatest sufferers
in this matter, as they are far more de.
pendent on the public schools than the
whites. As long as they continue to be
duped into electing to Office men noto-
riously incompetent, so long must there
be discomfort and suffering in the State.

home, and being informed by little Wal
ter Msham that Aunt Marion had gone
to the graveyard, he bent his steps in the
same direction. 1t was one of those
quiet, still afternoons which induce
thoughtful retrospection, and as Hubert
walked slowly forward, memory took q
review of his whole life. His mothers
watchful love, Walters warm and holy
friendship, his visit to Berkley, the cruel
war, his and Marion's mutual love, his
disappointment, his marriage, his wife's
and mothers death, his loneliness and
depression, his conservation of himself to
Gods service, his union with the
Mabams, and his still devoted love for
the "Lily of santee." "But will she be
miner" he murmured, as he entered the
cemetery and approached the graves Of
DR.. st. Julien and his little pet Annie
St. Julien Maham. Marion sat upon the
roots of large tree which dropped over
the graves, a basket of choice flowers was
beside her, from which she slowly and
musingly chose such as she wished to
arrange into cross, which she was max
ing to place upon her old friends grave.
She too thought upon the past, the happy
past-the sorrowful past, and with her
sad thoughts her tears flowed freely but
gently, relieving and refreshing her ove--
charged heart.
Marion, you are weeping trust it
is for no new sorrow" said Hubert Gray,
seating himself by her side.
"No, mop she said, smiling but sadly
through her tears, II have only been
listening to echoes from the past. They
must and will be heard sometimes, you
know"
ri too," he said, "have been thinking
of the past, and with thoughts of the
dead past comes a still living voice, a
voice of the heart which you, my Marion,
must listen to this afternoon, for it will
not be silenced.
eight years ago, Federal soldier
said to a Southern girl, will you be mine?
The proud girls proud heart silenced
loves soft pleading voice and proudly
answered, "a daughter of the trampled
South may not wed Federal soldier"
This afternoon a soldier of the cross, a
herald of salvation asks Christian
woman: Will you be mine, my helpmeet
in my Heaven appointed work? Dearest
Marion, will you be the Christian
soldiers wifeF"
The delicate white hand rested in his,
and tremblingly fell upon his ear the
sweet voice and welcome words, ~ will,
Hubert Gray; your labors of love I will
gladly sharel have learned He doeth
all things well,' and dare not cherish
proud or angry thoughts"
