A large meeting of delegates from
tho counties of Greenville, Spartan

quircr Us follows:
"Chester was somewhat ivelier
last week than it has been of late.
This was due to the presence of
number of fascinating young ladies
from adjoining towns. The Misses

and Miss O., from Union, were great
ly admired, and received consider-
able attention from our young mon.
In tho afternoons our streets were
gay with merry riding parties, and
in tho evenings social gatherings
were given, which of course were
interesting and, probably, impor-
tant occasions to those who attends
ed them. On Friday afternoon q
large party were favored by Presi-
dent Harden with trip to tho head

greatly enjoyed" ,

ARDENT SpIR1Ts.-Alcohol was invented
$50 years ago in Arabia. Ladies used it with
a powder to paint themselves, that they might
appear more beautiful, and this powder was
called alcohol. During the reign Of William
and Mary, an act was passed encouraging the
manufacture of ardent spirits. Soon after in
temperance and proAigacy prevailed to such
an extent that the retailers of intoxicating
drinks put up signs in public places, inform.
ing the people that they might get drink for
penny, and have some straw to get sober on.
In the sixteenth century distilled spirits
spread over the continent of Europe. About
this time it was introduced into the colonies,
as the United States we're then called. al
The first notice We have of it's use in public
life was among the lsborers in the Hungarian
mines, in the fifteenth century. The alcohol
from Europe was made from grapes, and sold
in Italy and Spain as medicine in bottles,
and under the name of "Water of Life" Un.
til the sixteenth century it was kept by apothe-
carries as medicine. During the reign of
Henry VIII brandy was first known in Ire
land, and soon its alarming effects induced the
Governor to prohibit its manufacture.
About 12O years ago it was used as bev-
erage, especially among the soldiers in the
English colonies in North America, under the
preposterous notion that it prevented sickness
and made them fearless in the field of battle.
Such is a brief history Of its introduction to
society as beverage.

sued. In the summer of 1875 Consul Ste-
vens' attention was drawn to several cases of
badness among bullocks, COWS and oxen, and
the loss of names and tails among horses. A
former servant of the consuls, prematurely
bald, whose duty it was to trim lamps, had Q
habit of rubbing his petroleum'besmeared
hands in the locks which remained to him; and
after three months of lamp-trimming expe-
rience, his dirty habit procured for him finer
head of glossy black hair than he ever pos.

this remarkable occurrence, Consul Stevens

duced him to suggest it to the owner of sever
al black cattle and horses affected as above
stated, and, while it stayed the spread of the
disease among animals in the same sheds and
stables, it effected quick and radical cure on
the animals attacked. The petroleum should
be of the most refined American qualities,
rubbed in vigorously and quickly with the
palm of the hand, and applied at intervals of
three days, six or seven times in all, except in
the case of horses tails and names, when more
applications may be requisite. This news

p@ The alpaca industry is Of compare
lively recent introduction into this country,
but Is already firmly established and hopeful
of success. The mohair is raised TO q consid-
erabIe extent in Georgia, Kansas, and Ne
braska, and more largely still in California
and Oregon. Three factories are already in
existence, one at jamestown, n. Y, one at
Chicopee Falls, Mass, and one, the eldest
and most successful, at Holyoke, Mass.
These industries are justly part Of the pur-
suits of our people, and should be encouraged
until firmly established. Mohair is made
from the soft fine hair or wool Of the Angora

HISTORICAL SKETCHES
OF THE
Early Settlement of South Carolina
BY REV. ROBERT LATHAM.

GREENE,s RETURN TO NORTH CARO-
LINA--CORNWALLIs LEAVES HILLS
BORO.
When Lee unex pectedly met Colonel Pyle,
it was late in the afternoon. The sun was
setting when the affair closed. A consulta-
ton was held between Lee and Pickens, and
it was determined not to pursue Pyle's fugi-
tives but to advance in the direction Of
O'Neil's plantation, for the purpose of attack
ing Tarleton. ... ...
Pye's Pond-the place at which Pyle's
loyal force was nearly exterminated-is about
midway between Hillsboro and Greensboro,
on the west side of the Haw. Colonel O'Neil's
plantation, at which Tarleton was encamped
for the night, was about three miles distant
from Pyle's Pond. ...
Lee and Pickens approached to within q
mile of Tarleton's camp, and learned that the
British had partaken of sumptuous supper,
and were carelessly encamped, and in good
condition every way, as they thought, to be
surprised. The capture of Colonel Tarleton
would have covered his captor with glory.
No man was dreaded by the American SOL
diers of the South, and especially by the mill.
tia, so much as Tarleton. This dread was not
ill.founded. For in the kind of warfare in
which they were engaged, Tarleton was far
superior to CORVALLIS. Notwithstanding the
fact that Morgan defeated him at the Cow
pens, his name created kind of terror when
ever it was mentioned in the American camp.
He was cruel, but all war is cruel. Tarleton
was brave and energetic, full of perseverance,
and no man could be more vigilant. 1t was
creditable, in the highest degree, to Lee and
Pickens aud the men under them, even to un-
dertake to attack Tarleton. None but the
bravest of the brave, with all equal number
of men, would have dared such thing.
The forces of Lee we're arranged for the
attack upon Tareton at an early hour on the
next morning. The horsemen lay down to
rest, with their brides in their hands, and
the infantry with their guns primed and
ready for action. Perhaps neither officers
nor men, although tired. could sleep much.
Who could sleep, sweetly, knowing that Tar
Teton and his fierce dragons were only one
mile distant?
During the early part of the night, Col
Preston, of Montgomery county, Virginia.
with three hundred mounted volunteers, came
into Lees camp. Many of the men under
Preston we're the hardy sons of the mountain
region, whom the gallant Col. William Camp
bell had led at Kings Mountain. Campbell
leading a similar force, was in the vicinity

BURNING Poisonous CANDLEs.-The ways
of communicating poison to the human blood
are manifold. A very curious case of arsenic
poisoning has just occurred in Paris. A rich
lady residing in the Faubourg St. Honore,
found herself growing i'll, and the doctor pro-
nounced her to he suffering from some slow
poison. Mme x. rejected the idea as absurd,
but, on rising, one morning, found glass of
water, which was usually placed by her bed
side, to be discolored by white flmy pow
der. On showing this to the doctor, he at
once declared it to be arsenic. All inquiries
failed to detect the culprit, and the next night
the madame filled the glass herself, and kept
careful watch that no one meddled with it.
Nevertheless, in the morning the white pow.
der again made its appearance, and the doc.
tor was fairly at his wits end to find the cause.
Finally, be discovered that his patient was in
the habit of reading in bed, and for that
reason candles we're kept burning all night in
her room. These candles, Of dazzling
whiteness, had been strongly impregnated
With arsenic during their bleaching process,
and the arsenic, becoming volatized by the
combustion, poisoned the air Of the bed y

STURDY INDEPENDENcE.-Mr. Wm. w.
Thomas tells good anecdote illustrative Of
the sturdy independence Of the Swiss people.
An irascible old nobleman, Governor Of Goth
fand, arriving at postrhouse, demanded q
relay of horses. None were to be had, tho
last two in the stable being at that moment
about to be hsrnessed to the wagon Of .
peasant. The Governor demanded that those
should be given him, and was referred TO the
peasant, who refused to let him have them.
"Fellow," said the Governor, "do you know
who I amp "Nay." 81 am general. !
am Governor Of Gothland !" Not at all
abashed, the peasant replied, "And do you
know who am p The Governor, thinking
that perhaps the man was person Of more
consequence than he had supposed, replied
that he did not. 9Well," said the peasant,
stepping forward with great selfassertion,
II am tie man that hired those horse" !" The
Governor had nothing more to say.

FuKKs a MODERN + fzEH0N-Thfs6 hun
dred years ago forks were unknown in Eng.
land. About the first English sovereign who
is known to have had fork was Queen Eliz-
abeth. Several forks were presented to her,
but it is doubtful whether she used them on
ordinary occasions. a writer thus describes
the unclesnly way in which ourancestors ate :
Each man had his own knife, and ss dinner
seized the joint with his hand, and cut of
what he wished; |; the dish was then passed on.
to the next, who did the same. The knife
then cut up the portions into small pieces,
which were put into the mouth BY the fingers
of the hand unoceupied by the knife.
In many parts of Spain, at present, drink
ing-glasses, spoons and forks are rarities; and
in taverns in many countries, particularly. in
some towns in France, knives are not placed
on the table, because it is expected that each
person has one of his own, . custom which the
French seem to have retained from the old
Gauls. But as no person will any longer eat
without forks, landlords are obliged to fur
nish these, together with plates and spoons.
