South Carolina and Wade Hampton.

Governor Wade Hampton is just now the
coming man of the South. He is, perhaps,a
little over fifty years of age, well-buflt, COM
pactly formed man, and looks the soldier and
the gentleman; he has a remarkable power
over men, as was shown during the political
contest, when nothing prevented the flow Of
blood but his personal magnetism In ante
bellum times he belonged to the old Wing
party, and opposed notification and secession,
as long as there was any hope of staying the
tide. and then like General Lee in Virginia, and
others, he went with his State. He seems to be
sincere, earnest, honest man, the friend alike
of both tho white and colored man, and fully
bent on keeping, in spirit as well as letter, the
pledges he made, touching the treatment and
rights of the colored people, as guaranteed by
the amended Constitution of the United States.
In this he is said to be ahead of the most of his
| party, but If allowed to work out his own hu-
| name plan, he will secure great and Deneficient
| results to both races of his native State. Some
| attempts have been made in the Legislature to
| block his wheels, but so far he has proved HIM
self to be the master of the situation. Time
rectiies all things, and that alone will write
| the true history.
Two very dinieult problems now present
themselves for solution these are the financial
and the educational. The former is, how can
the credit of the State be kept up, meeting all
her obligations and yet the rate of taxation be
such as the people will bear without complaints
| The educational problem is, if possible, still
more difficult of solution. 1t is great step in
advance for the late ruling classes to admit
their obligations to educate in q limited degree,
ever, those who so recently were their property.
But by the logic of events, great change is
taking place III this same class; and now. w.under
the lead OF Gov. Hampton they seem about to
take another step and declare for universal cd
ucation of both white and colored. Verify,
tempora nlutdntur, ,et nos nlutdper IN ILLS.
| The education of the two races in the same
schools being simply an impracticability, the
Governors plan is understood to be as follows :
| For common school instruction, provide dupli-
cate schools of precisely the same grade all over
the State; and for the higher education let the
| State provide and foster two institutions of
equal grade and means. Under this plan the
South Carolina University at Columbia will be
devoted to the education of white young men
and some other institutions will be provided
with equal means for the superior instruction
of colored youth. Whether or not this COM
prehensive plan can be realized remains to be
seen; there is, however, good degree of prom
| ise in that direction since Gov. II. seems thor
oughly in earnest, and is supported by the con-
trolling minds of hi4 own party.

EDUcATIoN-Superintend Harrington, of
New-Bedford, at the recent meeting of the
New England school superintendents, argued
that the main dissatisfaction with the public
schools arose from the grave error in the pub
lie mind that the progress of education could
be measured from hour to hour and the twin
error that any man who can hold a textbook
and ask questions is fit to be q school commit
teeman. In the public mind there was no rec
ognition of the great science of education. 1t
was resolved by the meeting That all school
superintendents should, within their respect
i've spheres of activity and influence, recon-
nerd and promote instruction in the metric
system in all schools, both public and privatei
that all teachers should make themselves &C.
quainted with tho system, and that they should
as far as practicable give their pupils instruc-
tion in it whenever required or permitted so to
do; that n knowledge OF the system should be
made a condition of admission to high schools
colleges, and technical schools: that the sys'
TEN should be taught in all normal schools and
schools for training teachers; that at all teach.
ers' institutes the importance and the best
method of teaching the system should be pre-.
sented, that a knowledge of the system should
be required of all teachers as condition oftheir
receiving certificate of qualification for teach
ing.

There's Wilderness in Gods mercy,
Like the Wilderness of the sea;
There's kindness in His justice
Which is more than liberty.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of mans mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple,
We sheuld take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of the Lord.

Your religion commends itself most, when
your own life is irradiated and gloriied by
it. Men want to see your Gospel tested
in your conduct and temper They will not
make great allowance for your sins; they ex-

to fill the soul overdowing with God. They
want to see your face shine, to observe the
kindling of hope, the radience, the glow of
sacred ioy.

dining-car employees, who are paid
to decry this form of hotel Car, can
not with anything like truth on their
side, give any valid or conclusive
reasons for pr9ferring the dining to
the hotel car, and they only chatter in
favor of their dining car because they
are paid to do so. These hotel cars
have run from New York to San
Francisco and back with the Empe-
ror Dom Pedro-with Jarrett g. Pal
mer's paisy, that travelled at almost
lightning speed-with many party
of Bonanza kings; and all JOIN in
pedging their honor that the cars
are Incompatible.
Two lines of these celebrated cars
run between New York and Chicago,
and one line only between Chicago
and Omaha. 1t may be needless to
say that this Iast-named line runs
over the steel track of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway. That these
cars are attracting large share of
the California travel, both ways,
might easily be conjectured. Any
road deserves to be patronized that
is enterprising enough to give the
travelling public such facilities as are
freely rendered by the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway on its Califor-
MIA line.

nothing more; and this at very rea-
sonable rates.-[The Tribune, April

We had no eyes for the magnificent pam
Drama which was spread out before us,
or the sun, which was going down blood
red In the west; we were too utterly
miserable and cold. / do not think any
of US slept wink all night. Our blan-
kets froze stiff as boards, and all at
tempts to light little spirit lamp and
make coffee were fruitless. We could not
even drink our wine, for it had turned
to ice in the bottles. Thus hour after
hour of the longest night l ever spent
dragged by. and at length signs of day
began to creep up slowly from the east.
Almost too stupefed and stiff to move.
we were only induced to crawl out from
our holes by the stern realization of our
desperate situation. The wind, too, now
began to 60 down somewhat, and after
moving about a little we felt better.
Making our way up to the topmost pin
nacle, we planted our flagstaff and un-
furled our blood-red banner to the
breeze.
The crater of Orizaba, which is much
smaller than the Popocatepetl, is still
an awful chasm, and is probably not far
from two miles in circumference. We
could not take measurements of it, as
all the instruments were down the
mountain with the other party. 1t shows
no signs of life. and with the exception
of the heated sand on which we passed
the night, we failed to notice any evil
dences of volcanic action still going on.
But what contrast this ~wfuf stiffness

mountain has once been the center. We
had magnificent view for about an
hour after sunrise, and as far as the eye
could reach peak after peak of lesser
magnitude told the story of its volcanic
birth. By queer coincidence had
brought The Last Days of POmpeii with
me to read in leisure moments, and as 1
looked out at the world at my feet, and
thong ght of Bulwer's vivid description of
the last days of that doomed city, the
thought suggested itself, Who knows
how many Pompelis are buried beneath
these hoary hills, and what tales might
these rocks repeat if they would ?'''

AN ANCIENT DINNER.-Queen Eliza
beth's breakfast used to consist chiefly
of strong ale and salt beef, and the same
dainties were served up for her supper
after she had retired to bed.
In 1869, we are told by chronicler
of the times, series of entertainments
we're given by the nobility, each striving
to outdo the others. All declared in fa-
vor of Lord Goring, whose brilliant fan
cy suggested device which struck with
amazement and admiration all who be-
held it. 1t will be hard for US to take
in the whole magnifcence Of the scene ;
but let US strive to imagine long table,
on which were placed four huge, brawny,
roasted pigs, all piping hot, and bitted
and harnessed with ropes of sausage to
an enormous pudding bag, which served
for chariot.
What would our modern guests think
of being invited to partake of such
tandem team at our dinner-table? But
these were the good old times, and we
can hardly expect ever to see the like.
See what we have lost by living in this
degenerate nineteenth century

person at first denied any connections
with him, and only admitted the own
ership when he was perfectly satisfied
that his interrogation had no connection
with the police. For some time also he
refused to part with the poodle. saying
that no money could pay him for the
loss of his dog, who really made his liv-
ing for him. Tempted, however, by
very high price. he at last consented to
sell the dog; and the gentleman, few
days afterward, brought him over to
England, travelling via Boulogne to
Folkstone. His residence in England
was some thirty or forty miles from his
little purchase. He had not been many
days in his new home, however, when the
little French poodle suddenly disap-
peared. Search was made for him every
where, but to no effect. His new master
offered reward for him, but with the
same result and he had at last made
up his mind that the fellow had been
either poisoned or stolen, when one
morning, about six weeks after his dis
appearance, the gentleman received a
letter from friend in Paris telling him
that his dog was haek AGAIN there and
at his old trade of soiling boots in the
interest of his former master. The lit
tie fellow. not liking the dullness of a
country life. had resolved to return to
his former home, and had made his way
to Folkstone; there, as the gentleman
afterward ascertained, he had got on a
steamer going to Boulogne, and from
Boulogne had found his way back to
Paris.
