Gen. Hampton's Portrait

"WADE HAMPTON, GovERNoRoF South CAR
oLIEA, is the subject of an exquisite nearly
life.size engraving, just published land now
ready by our enterprisng friends, Walker,
Evans Cogswell, Charleston. s. c. We con-
gratulate these gentlemen on the grand success
they have made of so noble n subject. As .
work Of art it stands unrivalled, but still its
chief merit lays in its being ife-Iike portrait.
1t is the first product, on so large q scale, Of
new and secret process based on photography,
having the advantage of great truthtulness. As
the photograph has superseded the oil-paintine,
because OF its exact reproduction of the subject,
so this process is bound to take the place of steel
engraving, or any method which depends upon
artistic conception and execution for result-we
mean for the production of portraits. What
the people want in o portrait is truth they do
not wish the artists conception of q man, but
the face and features of the man as he is-and
by no means can this grand result be better at
tanned than by the means Of photography, and
this new process based thereon. But while these
great advantages are secured It admits Of the
embellishments of art and portrait il pro-
duccd possessing all the truthfulnsss Of q
photograph. with the artistic effect Of the
steel engraving The publishers have been ex-
tremely fortunate in their selection Of tho mode
by which they give to all admirers Of the great
statesman the noble, generous, manly features,
which speak so plainly the 6, eat mind, elevated
feeling, and generous heart Of Wade Hampton.
Ihose VINO worked for the grand cause,
champion and Home Rule" who have paid tax
es to the government of their choioe, can,now
place this picture at their firesides as they have
placed its subject in their hearts. 1t must be-
come one of the "Penates' of South Carolina.
Those who sympathized with the gallant little
State in the struggle against such tremendous
odds, will be pleased to have this portrait in
their hones-a glorious memento Of . peaceful,
noble effort of a liberty-loving people to redeem
themselves from oppression and misrule.

Win ninW Weighs.

In wholesale grocery on lower Wal.

ried man OF disoreet years, but a diff.

The business transactions of the house
are confined almost exclusively to
business men, and when by chance a
representative OF the gentler sex is seen

Wade beats an ignominious retreat anu

some other clerk. The .other day two
fair maidens from over the river sailed
into the store. They were c0mely to
tempting rose-buds and their cheeks
like tul-blown damask roses, and when
they accosted the old porter, who was
coopering a mackerel-kit, he was &c
astonished that he struck his thumt
instead of the hoop and swore In biz
native language, which was Irish.
"Can we get weignedW asked one Of
the charming visitors, in voice thai

"Sure, l Dunno" replies the porter
"but Pll 60 see," and In a jIffy he returns
with the blooming Wade, TO whom the
fair girl repeats her question::
"Could We get weighedW
s'Well, now, really" stammered the
salesman, "you do me honor, but don't
see how you can get Wade." ..
'Oh, thaps too bad" they both chimed

National Theator,

a fair audience witnessed the new
programme at the National last even
ing. The performance opened with the
extremely laughable act of "Tom and
jerry" followed by Mr.. VIM. Hayle in
his clog-dances. Perhaps we would not
say too much to mention that he is the
champion clog-dancer Of the world, and
1t 10 well worth the admission fee to see
Mr.. Hayle alone. Not to be forgotten
are the two Americans, Misses Ida
Deyere and Frankie Christie, both in
their solo ballet divertissement and
their classic character dances. They
were well received by the audience and
loudly encored. The costumes ofIhese
beautiful young ladies' equal any we
have ever seen on the vaudeville stage.
Haley and Eldridge, the popular negro
Characters, remain for this week only.

The Treasury Trouble.

Several ol our patriotic ciLiZens are
Inclined to make much Of very small
matter in connection with the Office of
Mr.. Stem, Assistant United States
Treasurer, at this point. Mr.. Stem dis
charged White, the book-keeper, and
put in another person, and now strong
White reinstated. L. z. Campbell, Esq.,,
is the leading spirit in Mr.. Whites in
terest, and the Commercial yesterday
published statement Of Mr.. K. L. Car
sons opinion on the subject.
Mr.. Carson is very anxious to have
White reinstated, but admits that he
knows nothing of the reasons which in
duced Mr.. Stem to make the change.
His objections to Whites removal are
founded upon tho general principle of
civil service reform. The whole story,
as we learn it, is as follows: When MIR.
Stem found himself occupying so respon-
slDle u position, and under heavy bonds,
he naturally felt that among the en-
ployes, upon whom to great extent he
ana his bondsmen relied for protection,
there should be some one well known to
| himself and upon whom personally be
| could fully depend.
Every man in the office, he felt, might
and probably Was a person worthy oil
just such confidence, but they were all
| strangers to him. Therefore, as a plain
business duty, he determined to put
into the office one man well known to
himself, anu upon whose judgment and
business experience as well as integrity
| he could rely for aid and counsel in dis
| charging the duties of the office. 10
make room tor such a person some one
must go, and in looking over the ground
MI. White was selected as the proper
one.
With this purpose in view, and with
no lll-feeling toward Mr.. White, he W as
discharged, and MIR. Stem, at his sollci-
tation, gave him letter stating that his
| discharge was mot for cause.n
This letter, given TO aid him in getting
another place, White has used in his
efforts to get himself reinstated. What
| Mr. Stem meant by the letter was that
no reason lor his remJyal existed, so far
as White was concerned, though the
real "cause" was u good one ana IN the
interest OF the efficiency OF the civil SER
wee, as any business man will readily
see.
