ANNOUNCEMENT
' OF THE
YORKVILLE FEMALE INSTITUTE.

~ IN recognizing the Corps of In
~Ht1 H. structors in this Institution, the Trus-
VT 81 tees take great pleasure in saying that
t-7 they have secured the services Of w.
r. JONES, A. M, Mrs. CLARA D.
MCLEAN and Miss FANNIE MILLER, in the
literary departments, and Miss SUEF. LOWRY,
in the musical department.
In recommending these teachers, for public
patronage, we would say that Mr.. JONES is
native Of this State, graduate from the South
Carolina College, Christian gentleman of highly
cultivated talents and attainments from choice
and by profession teacher; and brings to his as
High Schools and Colleges, in this and other
States, which aptly fits him for the moral and
mental culture of those entrusted to his care.
No one is more eminently qualified than Mrs.
MCLEAN for the position which she assumes:
Possessing, as she does, mind of acknowledged
ability, trained with the utmost care, imbued with
the progressiveness of the age and fully apprecia
| ting the importance Of female education, she
brings to bear upon her pupils all the happy in
fluences which she has acquired by long expe-
rience in teaching the schools in Charleston, in
this State, and also in Schools in other States.
Too great importance cannot be attached to the
training of little children; and 1t often requires
months Of tedious labor for an experienced teach
er to eradicate from their minds what has been
improperly or imperfectly taught before prop
or foundation can be laid on which to build
substantial education. To avoid this difficulty,
FANNIE MILLER in charge of the Primary
Department. Her sympathies with the young
soon win their affections; and when such Is the
case, rapid progress in learning soon follows.
Miss SUE F. LOWRY has been so faithful and
conscientious in the discharge of her duties, and
given such entire satisfaction in her department.,
that is only necessary for us to ask for her that
liberal patronage which she so much deserves.
In order that all may avail themselves of the
benefits to be derived from this thoroughly or
ganized and strictly disciplined school, we offer
the following

To DESTROY STUMPs.-We find in an
exchange the following directions for effec-

of trial:
"In autumn TO bore hcle one or two in
ches in diameter, according to the girth of
the stump, vertically in the centre of the
latter, about eight inches deep. Put into
1T one or two ounces ofsaltpetre, gil the hole
with water and plug up tight. In the en-
suing spring take out the plug, pour in
about onc.half gill of kerosene and then ig.

To-day she slipped by, and had reached the
ante-chambcr of tho Secretary Word was
at once passed to the venerable gray bearded
man who guards the main door in Fifteenth

and at once told DR.. Mary sho must 60
away. "iou 60 to hell" answered DIR.
Mary, vigorously 81 shall do nothing of the

violence DIR. Mary jumped and clacked her

hand upon hip pocket, saying you lay

doorkecper saw chance for flank move

and then passed his venerable arm about her
waist. He then began to propcl her toward
the street. DIR. Mary kicked his shins all
the way and yelled murder, greatly to tho
amusement of persons in the haliways.-
After he had piloted her to tn street he ap-
olosizcd for his forced rough treatment, and
said that her importantly had brought it
about. He asked her to pardon him, but
DIR. Mary refused, bitterly saying that tho

WHO MADE HAYES PRESIDENTS

WHO MADE HAYES PRHsIDENTi
The number of parties who can rightfully
claim to have made Hayes President, is
quite as great as tho number of those who
killed cock robin.
Here, for instance, is Mr.. Chandler, of
Michigan, to whose high character and re-
markable capacity as Secretary of the In
terror Carl Schurz the other day gave such
emphatic testimony. Zach says that he
made Hayes President: or, to put it in his
own classical language, The d-d fool
would not have been President at all but for
me; it was that gave him the votes of
South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana" !"
No doubt this is SO, and, the only point
which can be doubted in Chandler's state
ment is his description of Mr.. Hayes as
id fool. That question is still undeci-
ded
Next comes the celebrated Mr.. Jay Gould
who put up money for the campaign, and
after the election, when all was lost started
the scheme of counting in tho Hayes elcc-
tors by the combined use of troops and of
cash in Florida. lie made Hayes President.
The Returning Board of Florida eau put
in an equal claim with equal justice. Hayes
il their creature also, and if, for want Of
Goulds inspiration or for other cause, they
had failed him, he would not now be in the
White House.
Then there is Madison Wells and the
other gentlemen ofthc Louisiana Returning
Board. They have the best right iu the
world to say that they made Hayes Prcsi-
dent, and that without them he would still
be Governor of Ohio.
Judge Joe Bradley is another maker of
Hayes. Without his steady perseverance,
in voting in the Electoral Commission every
time in favor OF fraud, the conspiracy nev-
er could have been carried through.
John Sherman, Stanley Matthews,
Charles Foster, and William Nj. Evarts
likewise made Hayes. But for the strenu-
Gus promises and assurances they gave in
his behalfto the Southern Democrats in the
House Of Representatives, the electoral
count would not have been completed, and
the President of the Senate would now be
bearing sway as the provisional President
Of the United States.

tribunal, also have right to he classed in
the array of those who were indispensable
to the creation of the Fraudulent Pre..
dent.
These are, all of them, author. and crea-
tors of the present Administration. IF
either one fthcsc varied elements had been
wanting, MIR. Hayes would not now be con-
sidering how he can evade the promises and
pledges given for him to the Southerners by
Evarts, Matthews, Foster, and Sherman.
But among those who are responsible for
Mr.. Hayes, the American people are not to
be counted By a majority of one million
white men, and majority of 25O 900 of all
colors. they voted that they would have

nothing to do with putting Hayes where he
