TIE DAY WE CELEBRATE-John Han
cock could not have been very warm when
he siSucd the declaration Of independence.
or he would not have had the energy to sling
the ink round in the profusc manner indi,
Gated by his signature. But John was Il
younSish, vigorous sort of man at that time,
and being the first on the list, perhaps he
wanted to let posterity know by his sign
manual that he wasn't afraid. The weather,
however, must have told on old Mr.. Hop
kins, for his pen wabblcd about as if it WAS
slipping through his fingers, and his sig
nature looks as if several big beads of per
spiration might have dropped down upon
the ink. Aside from the weather, it mus,
have been rather warming time. Yet the
rest of them seem to have written off their
names in the utmost cooncss
Those were times that tried mems souls
and signatures. These arc times that try
mems paper collars and stomachs That is
the only difference. Many patriot will
start out this morning like John Hancock 5
signature, bold, firm and erect, aud will come
home this evening like Stephen Hopkins
signature, wabbling and staggering, and not
very certain where he is going to stop. a
decent respect for the opinions of mankind
will fail to deter many men from celebrating
this glorious one hundred and first anniver-
sary of the occasion when We assumed
separate and equal station among the pow
crs Of the earth, by imbibing proGgious
amount OF good lager and mean whisky
When both arc good rho n.:a tu-~ ;.-nos IL
visablc; when both arc bad the consequent
ccs arc horrible; when the whisky alone is
poor it destroys very good beverage, and
the results cannot be counted upon with any
degree of certainty
We have nothing to say concerning the
day VIC celebrate. We are all patriotic, and
it has all been said. But we have word of
advice for those who celebrate the day, and
it is this Don't celebrate too much The
thermometer is floating around in the nine
ties, the sun is scorching hot, and some
people have already succumbed to excessive
heat. Sometimes man puts something in
his stomach and wants to keep it there, aud
he cant sometimes he puts thing in his
stomach and then wants to gee it out, and he
can't; sometimes, again, he puts something
in his stomach for his stomachs sake, and it
all goes into his head and he feels top. heavy.
and then tries to feel all right, and, equally
he can't. None of these conditions arc de-
srablc at any time, and especially on hot
day.
These arc all the suggestions we have to
make concerning the appropriate dccorous
and healthy observance of the nations natal
day. BY noting them there raay be some
ardent brother who will be spared the regret
that this day is still so near, was so dear, and
seduced him with so much beer, and left
him feeling so queer Columbm Register

The Cars Hard Task.

At Russian headquarters 1t 10 stated
that no overtures OF peace will be listened
to until after some overwhelming victory,
when the car can dictate his own con-
ditions. Unfortunately this is no vain
conjecture. A politician recently con.
versed with the Emperor Alexander on
the possible issue Of the campaign, and
suggested that in ca e Of another defeat
like that Of Plevna it would be wise to
make peace ON the basis of the stairs quo
ante beiism y" Never" exclaimed the
czar, "will I expose myself 70 khe fate Of
Napoleon Ill, !" and repeating the words
of Gen. Ducrot after the battle 81 Cham
pigny, he added, "Je rentrerdi en- Russie
mort on vicforieur." The conclusion OF
peace, as I have already shown, in not
wholly DEPENDENT u pom the imperial will
nor must 1t bs imagined that the r6iac-
tance of the czar to enter upon the war
originated from considerations Of Glenn
ency and humanity. 1t has since been
averred that what made the emperor
hesitate was the fear of his army's inef.
ficiency, and his unwillingness to expose
Russia's inferiority in the lace of-Europe.
II is true that he was driven by the Pan
Slavonian committees and his own entour-
age to the extremity of war; but now
that his troops are once in the field they
are not likely to stop halfway in the ter.
rible task they have undertaken. II the
czar looks toward home he beholds his
halEruined people ready to make the
last sacrifice without murmur but the
result must be victory, the Turk must
be taken at any price, and according TO
the Grand Duke Nicholas and his staff,
Constantineple must be occupied. To
Judge from the result obtained 40 far,
these are long-winded plans, II, indeed,
they are ever to be achieved. Interven-
ton before the Russians reach the gates
Of the capital simply means international
coercion toward the Turks, and the recog
milton of Russia a. the mandatory Of
Europe. Thus, whatever may be the IN
tentions and dispositions OF the porte, no
victory short of actual annihilation can
be looked upon q the actual forerunner
of peace. II Is quite a. much question
of life and death to the car to suspend
hostilities before attaining his ends ~ it
is 70 pursue the csmpsign even after a
single defeat. Hence all hope Of the
rapid suocessof the Russian troops being
now aboneded, people herr have made
up their minds to see the campaign pro-
longed fer many months TO come.-C6r.

Cutting Q Medicine Stone.

A number of ladies' and gentlemen
assembled at the tent of General Hunt,
in Summerville, on Friday last, to wit
ness what is seldom seen In America, or
in any other country-the cutting ard
dissection of bezoar or medicine
stone. At the appointed hour the
beautiful gem was placed on the table,
inspected and admired by all present.
Professor Holmes then gave short
description of the bezoars found in
eastern countries, comparing them with
those OF America, or more properly Of
South Carolina. The name bezoar was,
he said, derived from the Persian words
"Pa zahar," which signifies against
poison. In the east they are called
medicine stones in Africa hag stones or
charm stones. The specimen exhibited
| on this occasion is about the size of a
laree hens egg, of mottled yellow
color, with tint of brown, having Its en-.
tire surface highly polished. The polish
is natural, caused by the action of the
muscles Of the stomach of the animal in
which 1t was found upon each layer of
mineral matter deposited.
A piece of scantling having been pre-
pared and mortised with a cavity just
large enough to contain the stone, it was
imbedded therein firmly with ':plaster Of
paris" the better to prevent taking or
crumbling, to which, from its laminated
and brittle structure, it is peculiarly
liable. With a very fine and highly
tempered saw 1t was then cut longitude
nally through the middle, which took
but few minutes. During the cutting
some little excitement was evinced as to
what the nucleus or contents of the stone
would prove to be.
Upon opening the bezoar the nucleus
proved to be a large and perfect acorn,
which several gentlemen present imme'
diately recognized as that OF the white
oak. 1t was covered by four layers or
lamina of mineral substances, composed
generally Of phosphates and carbonates
of lime and iron, and some silex. The
mould of the acorn is very perfect, hav-
ing all the external markings of the
fruit. There are two impressions, ap-
parently made by the teeth of the animal
before swallowing the nut. Acorns are
favorite food of Carolina deer. During
the autumnal months their tracks are
almost always To be found under the
oaks of the forests which have borne
acorns.
This is the third specimen Of bezoar
that has been cut and examined by Prof.
Holmes, and we believe the only ones
ever dissected in America The nucleus
found in the first bezoar was fattened
ball or buckshot with fragment Of the
skin and a few hairs; the animal had
undoubtedly been wounded about six
years before it w&s killed, as there were
six laysss or lamine OF mineral matter
surrounding the buckshot. The second
bezoar cut contained pebble of quartz.
