TIE SOUTHERN 1MBRoaL1os,

Gov. Hampton on the I'd issued on ad.
dress calling upon all faithful, law.abid-
ing and loyal citizens who desire TO main
tain the Government of their choice TO
come forward promptly and pay 10 per
cent. Of the amount of taxes paid by them
last year. He says: " 1t Is for the people of
South Carolina now TO determine whether
they will support the Government they
have installed, or the attempted usurpa-
tion which is upheld by the bsyonets Of
the Federal troops. / am but the repre-
sentative of the people Of the State, and
to their decision shall bow with pro-
found respect As long as they choose
to support me as the duly. rejected Gov
ernor Ishsll maintain that position, and
II supported by them l feel safe in as
suring them that their rights will soon be
firmly established and fully recognized"
Gov. Chamberlain said, in an inter.
view with New York Herald reporter
on the 7th, that the action of the Hamp-
ton Government in providing for the
lunatics, orphans and convicts relieved
him of his greatest embarrassment; he
was gratiied that the Democratic tax
payers and other charitably- disposed
persons had assumed the care of these
unfortunstes. He did not think the vol
untary contribution Of taxes would have
any effect whatever in deciding who is
thelegal Governor Of the State He said
the question of the Governorship would
be settled in Washington, either by Con-
gress or by the President. He did not
look forward to any serious collisions or
clashes of authority, and all minor con-
1icts as to the possession OF offices would
find an easy and peaceful solution in the
| courts.

Death of Commodore Vanderbilt.
New YORK, Jan.

NEW YORK, Jan. a.
Commodore Vanderbilt died this
morning at 1851 o'clock, aged eighty
two years and seven months. He re.
mained perfectly conscious to the last
moment of his life and died almost with.
out struggle. Since the Cd it has been
apparent to his doctors that his hours
were numbered, and that at most he
could live only few days or week.
At four o'clock this morning his condi-
tion became rapidly worse, and he ex-
pressed a desire to see the Rev. DR..
Deems, his spiritual adviser. The lat.
ter arrived in q few minutes, and the
Commodore said I" think am nearly
gone, Doctor" DR.. Deems prayed by the
bedside of the dying man, and then some
members of the family sang q few hymns
in low tones, the music seeming to
soothe the sufferer. All his family
were sent for during the night.
His eldest son, William Vanderbilt,
arrived after midnight and remained to
the end. All of his daughters were
present, and his wife, who has been
present by his bedside during the entire
period of his sickness, was AZ her post
as usual, Drs. Lindsley and Elliott
were also in attendance. They warned
both Commodore Vanderbilt and his
friends to expect the worst. The news
of his death spread rapidly, and very
many friends called at the house this
morning and sympathized with the
arrived just before his father died.
The news of the Commodore's death had
little effect on the market, his death hav-
ing been so long expected. The decline
in prices ranged from / to per cent.
1t is estimated by those in position to
judge that Commodore Vanderbilt was
owner of securities having q present
market value of about $S5, 900, 900, and
that of this total fully $55, 900, 900 con-
sisted of stock and bonds of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railway.
The bulk of this vast property is to he
kept together, and provision has been
made for reinvesting the accruing inter
est on it in his favorite securities.
When the news of the Commodore's
death was received at the City Hall the
flags were lowered to half mast, course
which was soon after followed by the
principal hotels and other public build

His Experiment Resulted Disastrously

The subject was the employment OF
women as saleswomen, or " sales-ladies, /"
as the latest euphemism has 1t.
Mrs. Spicer said she always "hated to
buy anything Of a woman"
THAT is because one woman does not
know how to use another" said Spicer;
"men have no difficulty in dealing with
shOp-wOmen; lemme show you" and as
they entered the toy store he blandly APP
preached an apple-faced girl, with haxen
hair done up in small pats over her fore
head, and, slightly raising his hat, asked
to be shown some toys suitable for a
child of three. Apple.faoe turned a
cheap locket, hanging at her neck, right
side out, smiled and said; Yes, sir"
6picer turned his eyes around in tri.

the shop belle say, soto Voee'

Mrs. Spicer chucklod, and Spicer
thought they had better walk out and
see what there was at the further end Of
the store. Boston Commercial Bulletin.

When Christmas Comes on Monday.

Christmas Day fell on Monday in
1876. 1t fell on Monday also in 1866,
and on that occasion the following was
unearthed from, it is stated, the Harleian
MSS, No. 2,252, folio 1884:
II Christmas Day on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds both loud and shrill;
But in the summer, truth to tell,
High winds shall there be, and strong,
Full OF tempests lasting long;
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty OF beasts shall die.
They that be born that day, | ween,
They shall be strong, each one, and keen !;
He shall be found that stealeth aught;
Though thou be sick, thou dseth not.
The year 1865 was the year of the
Austro-Prussian war, year of disastrous
gales, and year of cattle plague, Again,
in 1871, Christmas Day fell on Monday.
The twelvemonth following that day saw
US with cattle plague in the North and
some great storms; but, as to battles" :"
we must go back few months in 1871
for the capitulation of Paris and the con.
flict with the Commune. We have now
Monday Christmas for the third time
within dozen years. London Times.

In the Republican Legislature, on the
4th, bill passed the Senate, and goes to
the Governor, appropriating 100000
for militia purposes. A bill was passed
forbidding the organization of military
companies other than militia.
A communication was received on the

" Bank Closed"

ABOUT eleven o'clock yesterday fore
noon aman walked up and down Griswold
street for few minutes, carefully scru-
tinizing the exterior of the several banks,
and finally entered one of them and de-
posted thirteen dollars. 1t was his very
first dealings with bank, and his hat
slanted over tribe more than usual
when he came out. About quarter
after twelve, finding that he could de-
post two or three dollars more and still
make his purchases, the man came down
town again. The bank was closed, ac-
cording to custom, and the usual sign of:
Bank Shut hung against the glass. AS
the farmer pushed on the door he saw the
sign, and he was only about ten seconds
growing as pale as death. AS he made
another attempt to open the door boy
came along and called out:
You can't get in there-she's shut
up"
"Took my thirteen dollars in and then
busted!" gasped the depositor as he
backed off and looked at the sign.
"Shell open again at two O'clock"
said the boy as he passed along.
81 doubt i'll doubt itw muttered the
man as he wiped off the Precipitation,
but I'll wait and see."
He sat down on the steps, knees weak
and chin trembling, and he didn't move
an inch till two o'clock. When the
bank opened he walked in, presented his
certificate of deposit and said:
"pll be a thousand times obleeged if
you'll let me draw out my thirteen dol
lars"
1t was handed out, and the man braced
up instantaneously. Counting the money
over twice, he put the bills in his wallet,
walked out, and as he reached the walk
he said:

in my life, and l won't make fool of
myself gain!"-Detroit Free Press.

sum the negroes appropriated; but thei
cupidity was not yet satisfied. They
stripped him of every article of clothing
he had on his person, including his stock
ings and neckerchief. The old man, as
naked as when he came into the world,
now attempted to make his way to
friendly clump of bushes, but the tiends
again overhauled him, brought him back
to the railroad track, and roughly flung
him down. Tearing the shirt they had
taken from his back into strips, they
bound him hand and foot and then
dashed his head upon the rail, that the
first passing train might crush it from
his body The mere contemplation of
such cold blooded fiendishness brings a
shudder of horror. A half an hour or
more elapsed, and the old man, still tied
to the rail, heard the gathering of an ap-
preaching train. He struggled desper-
ately to relieve himself, and at the very
moment the train (Which proved to be a
hand-car filled with section mem stopped
he succeeded in freeing himself. He
then told his story, was furnished by one
of the men with a pair of overalls, an
other gave him common white shirt,
and at neighboring house he secured
an old pair of shoes and hat, and in
this garb he reached Cairo. Cairo (IN.)
