"A wise and plain-spcaking colored

Economy is Wealth.

This is an old adage, but its antiquity
only demonstrates its truth. Our South.
ern people have always been able to make
money, plenty of it-but they have never
learned how to save it. If they had been
al economical as our fathers used to be,
we would have had no cry of hard times
in our beautiful Southern land. Our
poverty is the result of our want of econ
omy. We are wasteful and extravagant.
We must change or we are ruined. In
the language Of q contemporary: "We
have no choice in the matter, but as q
whole people, we must change our man
ner of living-must lessen our e1pendi-
lures, or else the generation will be Il
nancially ruined. =,
"Men, women and children, must all
economic, and must do so in good earn
est. Men are as honest and noble in
cheap, home made suits, as in cashmere
and cloth. A man can guide his steps
as correctly in life, wearing o pair of
elegant hand. made common shoes, as he
can with his feet encased in q pair of first
class, we'll polished, calf:skin boots. As
for the ladies, a neat calico dress is sufi-
cient, because in such they look charm
ing and sweet, especially when they
smile, and such an appearance cannot be
materially improved by all the silks and
satins or delicate fabrics ever invented or
woven.
"Our children need nothing in the way
of apparel but simple garbs neatly kept.
Our tables need only to be furnished with
common substantial food. Let each FAM
ily at once resolve to save from one to
FIVE hundred dollars during the present
your out of ordinary expenses. Then
when next Christmas morning shall
come, many will be able to say, II am
clear of debtp How many will COM

alton to be free from all manner of in

"Again, we must abandon the idea of
riding in fine buggies and carriages
wherever we 60. A good little farm
wagon, will ride very comfortably to any
man and his family if they are only out
of debt.
"Now, we do not begrudge the ladies
the little help they can extort from cooks
and housemaids, but we should learn to
get along with as few of them as possible.
It is q settled fact that the more we econ
omize the fewer our wants will be. This
extravagant style of living, coupled with
a ruinous mode of farming, has we'll nigh
ruined the people Of our entire country.
We must either change it now or wait
only short time and Be compelled to do
80. The truth is we are tending to the
maelstrom of poverty. 1t is yet within
our power to divert the calamity and
find our way back to the quiet and beau
tiful sea of simplicity and safety. If our
ladies would form themselves into socie-
ties, and our men would discuss these
subjects, and all would move together in
this work of necessary reform, it would
be but short time until merchants and
lawyers, 1--WE are almost hopeful enough h
to add editors, and all professions, would
be prosperous and happy"

The Mockery Of scReform" in South
Carolina.

It appears that the Radical household
in South Carolina has lively prospect
ahead. There are two factions of the
party, one led by Governor Chamberlain,
the other by Senator Patterson. The
Governor has recently been enjoying a
certain cheap notoriety, by reason of his
attempts to purify the local and State
government, whilethe character of Pat
terson is fully exemplifed in the remark,
'there are FIVE years of good stealing in
South Carolina yet," which has been &C.
credited to him. Chamberlain laid his
plans we'll when he set up as reformer,
and he hopes to secure, besides renomi-
nation place on the Presidential ticket,
or at least, q Cabinet position. At the out
break of his spasm of honesty. the Dem
ocratic press of the State, not remarkable
for its brilliancy, threw itself into a
spasmodic condition, and proceeded to
laud to the skies that lusus nature, an
honest carpet-bagger. Governor Cham
berlain proceeded to quietly smile in his
sleeve.
Patterson is in bad odor with the ne
groes, because he has no State Treasury
at his back, while the Governor has; SO
it is easy to be seen where their votes
will go. Patterson has, what is termed
in the South, "the poor whites" to back
him. while the better class of people
moodily fold their arms and look on all
that remains to mark the spot where
South Carolina once existed.
Chamberlain wishes 10 lead the delega.
ton to the National Republican Conyen-
ton, and, to this end, he has begun
system of rewards which will tend to
subvert the plans of the ambitious Pat
terson, who has like desires. Elliot is
willing, Nash says he cannot oppose

Goyerner, Swails, another prominent ne
gro, hoists Chamberlain's name for Gov
ernor to the head of his paper. White.
more, of cadet fame comes over, and
even Moses, the corrupt unprincipled,
champion thief of the South, while he
cannot have his judgeship, is to be con-
ciliated by seat in the Legislature
That is the crowd the great moral re.
former of South Carolina trains with, and
the Democratic editors who we're so hasty
in applauding him short while ago, are
left the alternative of sitting by the way
side and complacently sucking their
thumbs while the orgies 60 on. The
sanity Chamberlain will 60 into the
canvass supported on either hand by the
martyr Moses and the penitent Parker
while the enraged Patterson will gnash
his teeth in agony at the thought that
others will absorb that precious Give
years of good stealing" This is the
status of affairs in South Carolina to-day
A mock reformer supported by imperti,,
nent, unpunished public plundererss, and
the mass of voters in the State, leads one
column; the other blindly stumbles
along under the lead of a man in whom
they have no confidence, while the pow
erless Democrats look helplessly on at the
feast of the ghouls. Not an encouraging
but yet an Der true tale.-&. Louis Times

sum.
MRS. BEECHER GOES TO RUSSIA.
Late in the winter of 1874, q short
time after the London episode, Mrs.
Beecher appeared in the capital of Rus
sia. She there formed the acquaintance
of two famous women. One was Mabel
Grey, who from a London shop-girl came
to be favorite of Prince Albert: the
other was Fanny Lear, or Fanny Black
ford, the reputed daughter of Philadel-
phia minister, and the heroine of the
Russian diamond scandal, in which she
had for lover the nephew of the Car,
the Grand Duke Nikofai Konstanovitch.
Festivities were at their height when
Mrs. Beecher reached st. Petersburg,
and through her new friends the fair
South Carolinian was quickly launched
into the highest regions of Russian fast
society. The story is that she made
her debut with Fanny Lear at a supper
given in st. Petersburg by the vieltessc
argentee (silver old age, consisting of the
highest dignitaries of the empire, none
of whom were under fifty. After that
three-horse sleighs, troikas, were ordered,
and the party spent couple of hours ra-
cling on the Neva. Two weeks later Mrs.
Beecher and Fanny Lear were guests at
another supper in the same place. That
was supper by the jcunnesse doree (gold-
en- youth, consisting of the sons of the
very same fellows with whom they had
dined two weeks before.
AND THEN TO PARIS.
On the expulsion of Fanny Lear from
Russia after the discovery of the dia-
mond robbery of the Grand Duke Nj
kolai, she went to Paris, Mrs. Beecher
accompanying her. Phoenix was there
at the time of their arrival, and Mrs.
Beecher took his name. He quilted
Paris few days after her appearance
and sailed for New York. Several
Americans who were in Paris in the
spring and summer of 1875 remember
seeing Mrs. Beecher there. She was out
frequently with Fanny Lear in the Bois
in snowy Russian equipage that attract
ed considerable attention. Dom Piatt
met her on a railway trip in France, and
thus describes her:
MRS. BEEcHER PHOTOGRAPHED.
Looking through the triangular glass
that exists between the compartments
one saw the Phoenix sitting on seat OPP
posite, coolly smoking cigarette. She
wore gray ulster with peaked hat,
with gloves and boots to match, and
was as we'll as we could determine,
about twenty-five years ofage. Her hair
was light chestnut, and seemed to be
abundant. Her eyes, by far the finest
feature, were large, lustrous, and either
dark gray or hazel, which we could not
determine. Her Roman nose, in exqui-
site proportion, had that cold delicate
outline and thin nostril that indicate the
bird of prey, be it in Lefty or in Wander
bilt. A short upper lip was in keeping,
while the mouth, though full and fair,
confirmed the impression the nose had
made. The cheeks and full jaw were
rather happy, and the whole face told of
a Judith who would 60 in on Holofernes

A DECREE OF DIVORCE.

Mrs. Beecher, accompanied by her Sis
ter, under the name of Eyeline Brooks,
then went to London. She was first
heard of about two months after reach
ing there in an action for assault brought
against one Arthur Foster. The London
newspapers teemed with reports of the
proceedings, in which his name was
prominent. Foster was an English Gov
ernment clerk. He and his brother
Charles, according to the published testi-
mony, Visited her and her sister at their
hotel at all hours of the day and night
Mrs. Beecher's conduct was such as to
create scandal, and the people in the ho-
tel called "Polly Skittles," the nickname
of celebrated fast woman in London,
the rival of Mabel Grey. The landlord
and his wife expostulated with her,
which Arthur Foster resented by striking
the landlord on the head with cane and
knocking him down. In court, Mrs.
Beecher represented herself as the wife
of prominent New York banker. She
said that her sister was sixteen years old,
and had been to school in Paris. She
claimed to be friend of Lady Yarl-
borough, of Brockelsby Hall, but if any
acquaintance existed it was repudiated
by the Earls wife in 9 letter to the court.
1t was testified that one of the Fosters
had written letters to Mrs. Beecher ad-

u,ents. at your last anniversary pre-
dicted that Governor Chamberlain, as the
ST. Patrick of the day, would continue to
heat the magical drum OF reform which he
was then sounding until he would expel
the reptiles from the Palmetto State, as
your Patron Saint is fabled to have e1ter-
minated the snakes in Ireland. That he has
got them Stirred up" and in condition
that they must either emigrate or suffer
their fangs extracted and their natures
changed Is apparent to all, and if he is
permitted to continue to roll his drum,
backed by the Irish shelalah, without re-
sort to gun or pike, his victory will soon
be complete and the State will stand
redeemed, regenerate and disenthralled.
But unfortunately many persons are dis
posed to throw obstacles in his way.
Some because of their sympathy with the
reptiles and their admiration of the
simpler plan of that remarkable pa
triot, Rob Roy, who allowed
THAT they may take who have the power,
And they shall keep who can."
But the greater portion because they
say he is not the man to do the work
that the chief drummer should be ito the

he is to annihilate-the reptile and save
the State it must be done in different
nome than that in which he received
his political christening and to which
he adheres as part Of his religion.
