it had declined below $50, and was not again
above that figure until June, 1866, when it
was carried up to 1673, selling at that price
on the 18th. The year 1867 opened with gold
at 1S2@133, and it did not 60 lower until
about the close of the year 1869, when it was
about 120. The "Black Friday" operations
on the Oath of September, 1869, carried the
premium to 1924, and on the same day it sold
at 1873. In 1870 the range was downward,

just previously been stunned by earth thrown
up by an exploding shell. The Russians ad-

the abittis; they even got into the redoubt
and actually held it for a few seconds, but
we're driven out again. They surrounded the
place on all sides, pouring into it terrible
fire, but were again driven back. In the
meantime the Turks, to support the defence,

The Russian losses must be very heavy, for the
fight continued until late at night and the

The Redsville Ne,os tells of a novel way
of curing drunkenness. 1t was tried on an
old woman of Davidson county, who had an
inordnate thirst for the ardeut. An eel was
caught and put in her private bottle and there
let die. The peculiar flavor thus impaired
to the liquor gave her such distaste for it.,
that since then she has persistently refused
the choicest of brandies.

The Wilmington Star has intelligence,

His snakeship is supposed to be species of
the anaconda, being about thirty feet in length
and larger around the middle than mans

the act of swallowing yearling deer, about
one.half of which had disappeared in his ca

mittee of all the thetts which have been per.
petrated under his eyes, from the beginning
of Radical reign down to the time that the
real people of the State got possession of the
government. Among these thefts every little
petty stealing, including cofins for deceased
members or their friends, or cradles furnished
for the legitimate offspring of the members
concubines, are included, as are also the wine,
cigar book and furniture bills of these wor-
thies, as we'll as the sums paid the various
members for their votes they so patriotically
cast for measures which did, even if they were
not intended to, bring ruin upon the State.
At least $50 checks given to these statesmen
as bribe money were also turned over by
Woodruff, with the signatures or the "marks"
of these worthy and enlightened men, witness
ed by educated men of their own party, which
will stand against them when they are brought
into court to show "cause why" they have
thus proven recreant to every principle of
honor and the public trust delegated to them.
Woodruff and Jones left for their respective
homes Immediately after making this surren-

was going to seek living outside of politics.
Speaking of the restitution made by
Woodruff and Jones, the Columbia cores

of testimony already taken, and is of incal-

The Education Of Onr Youth.
Under the caption of "A serious mis-
take in the education of our youth" the
Charlotte Southern Home has the following
sensible paragraphs, which we commend tor
the practical truths they contain:
Education, like riches, often proves curse
instead of blessing to the possessor. That
education is the greatest Of all worldly acqul-
sitions, no one can deny; but the great mis-
take Of this age and country, consists in not
preparing our youth for some trade or pur-
suit in life A little learning is dangerous
thing unless that learning is directed to some
end. The most miserable failures we know
of, are men who have been educated with a
smattering knowledge of all things, and
thorough knowledge of none. The country
is over.stocked with such men, and we do not
want any more of these jacks of all trades,
who are good at none. The time of fancy
professions has gone by, and people must now
realize the fact that success is sufficient to
make any trade, occupation or profession,
honorable.
That every one should be thoroughly taught
the rudimentary branches of English, such as
reading writing and arithmetic, even though b
he does not intend to study a profession or
trade, none can question; but in taking the
pupil beyond that stage, he should be made
to select some calling or profession congenial
to his tastes, and made to study with that
view.
This country abounds in occupations which
are both honorable and which will afford
good livelihood to those who engage in them.
Disabuse the public mind that only few
professions are honorable, and educate the
Young men for all trades and industries, and
then there will be fewer of the shabby gen
teel and more of the true worth exhibited IN
this country.
President Hayes.
The Richmond Dispatch, Democratic
journal, has the following to say respecting
the claims of President Hayes upon the South,
the transition state of political parties, and
the duty of Southern men:
What entities the President most pecui'ry
to the profounlest respect as we'll as gratitude
of the South, is the unswerving determination
he has displayed in doing justice to the South
and administering the government tor the
good of the people and with entire impart1al''
