sgJudge Carpenter has further mystifed

aarJudge Carpenter has further mysti6ed
the South Carolina muddle by deciding that
Chamberlain and Hampton were inaugurated
by illegal Legislatures, and hence, neither is
Governor but as the Constitution of the
State provides that the incumbent Governor
must hold Office until his successor is duly
qualified, it is plain to tho court that Mr..
Chamberlain is the constitutional Governor
and can execute the Office until his successor
is elected and sworn. This decision is said
to be unimportant, because it is in opposition
to the judgment of the Supreme Court of
South Carolina, by which it is to be reviewed,
and must be reversed, unless that court shall
reverse ITSELF which is not likely, if the
court knows herself and she thinks she do. !"
Yet, Judge Carpenter is right primarily, for
it is really not known who is Governor of
South Carolina, although the election is over,
and hence the two claimants have no right
to the Office through the recent election, and
Chamberlain holds over, under the organic
law, ad interim, to prevent an interregnam.

A Russian Daredevil.

Among the officers on the Grand
Dukes staff is tall, handsome man,
with 1.-the, slender, active figure, clear
blue eye, large, prominent, well-shaped
nose, and face young enough for Sec
ond lieutenant 1t is Scobeleff, the
Youngest general in the army, the con-
queror of Khokand. He had the repu-
tation, even among the Russians, OF be-
ing mailman, who would fling away
his own life and those of his troops with
out the slightest regard for consequences.
During the war which resulted in the
conquest Of Khokand, Russian detach
ment of eight hundred men, with four
hundred Cossacks, was compelled to re-
treat before superior force OF the enc
my. General Trotsky decided upon a
night attack, and contided his plan to
Colonel Skobeeff, then his chief of staff
The latter entered into the idea with
great enthusiasm, and proposed to lead
the attacking column himself, and take
only $50 Cossacks. Skobeletf, having
reconnoitered the ground, perceived that
the Khokandians had encamped within a
mile and a-half of the Russians in an
open plain, which gave every facility for
the moving Of cavalry. AT midnight he
took his $50 Cossacks, divided them into
three parties, and cautiously surrounded
the enemy's camp. The party, led by
Skobeleff, managed to pass the enemy's
outposts, who were sound asleep. Then
he gave the signal for the attack by firing
his pistol, and, followed by his $50 Cos
sacks, he rode headlong into the enemy's
camp, of 5000 to 1000 men, shouting
and yelling like fiends, and cutting down
everything in their passage. For quar-
ter of an hour the plain resounded with
shrieks and yells, shots, and the tramp
ling of horses, shouts and groans, and
all the uproar of battle. Then all was
silence. Skobeeff assembled his Cos
sacks, and when morning came he found
that the whole army of 5000 or 1000
men had disappeared, leaving on the
field about 40 dead, 1000 or 5000 mus
kets and sabres, all their camp material
and baggage. But what was his aston
ishment, on calling the roll, to discover
that he had not lost man, either killed
or wounded.
Mr.. Macghan, who first met him on
the banks of the Oxus, relates this ex-
plot to show how much method there Is
In this are-devils madness.

Patient.

l was not patient in that olden time,
When my unchastened heart began to long
For bliss that lay beyond its reach; my prime
Was wild, impulsive, passionate and strong
could not wait for happiness and love,
Heaven semitic come and nestle in my breast;
could not realize how time might prove
That patient waiting would avail me best.
"Let me be happy now" my heart cried out,
"In mine own way and with my chosen lot;
The future is too dark and full of doubt
For me to tarry, and trust it not.
Take all my blessing, all am and have,
But give that glimpse of Heaven before the
gravel"
"Ah me-" God heard my hayward, selfish cry,
And, taking pity on my blinded heart =
He bade the angel of strong grief draw nigh,
Who pierced my bosom in its tenderest part.
| drank wrath's wine cup to the bitter lees,
With strong amazement and broken will :;
Then humbled straghtway fell upon my
knees,
And God doth know my heart is kneeling
still
| have grown patient; seeking not to choose
Nine own blind lot, but take that God shall
send
In which, if what long for l shall lose,
know the loss will work some blessed end,
Some better fate for mine and me than
Could ever compass underneath the sky.

THE famine in India is one of the most
terrible calamities of modern times.
Though only half the truth has yet been
told, that which is known gives vivid
idea of the horror brooding over the
unfortunate country. In many once
flourshing villages there is now left
neither man, woman, child, nor beast
nothing but rOohess houses and the skele
tons along the roadsides, which the jack
ais and vultures have picked clean. The
deaths are known to amount already to
more than half million, while thou
sands have died unnotced and uncounted
by the roadsides, and in the jungles,
where they had gone to pick berries and
dig roots to stay the cravings of hanger.
In the relief camps, where 243,000 have
been gathered together, the mortality is
at the rate of 6 out Of 10 in the year, be-
ing 30 times the ordinary rate of mortali-
ty. In Mysore, after inspecting some
1000 poor creatures. an official of the
government exclaimed. swell, the truest
mercy would be to send for some troops,
and shoot every man, woman and child
Of those 1000, for there is not one of
them but must die lingering and pain
full death. "-Portidnd Transcript.

Home Education.

There is a popular fallacy that, with
out the advantage of good schools, edu-
cation cannot be obtained. But let
it be remembered that many great
and good men and women WERE and
are, almost wholly self educated. Edu-
cation, as we understand the very COM
prehensive term, is not merely the high
est development of the intellectual fac
ulties, or acquaintance with the arts and
science. "Train up a child in the way he
should CO." is the divine injunction. The
moral as we'll as the intellectual must be
regarded. Impressions traced upon mind
and hearing in childhood are rarely OBJ
liberated, but remain with US through
life, strengthening and deepening with
our years; eXerting an evil or a salutary
influence over our actions.
How important, therefore, that only
the best of influences be brought to bear
upon the youthful mind. What has the
great and good Watts expressed with re-
gard to this same education of youth9
Their future character as social and
moral beings will be greatly influenced
by the manner in which they are taught
from an early period to regulate their
emotions, by directing them to adequate
and worthy objects, and controlling them
by great principles of wisdom and
virtue"
Children naturally regard their parents
as their superiors, and readily accept and
imbibe their views; and it would appear
that to them the great Oliver had entrust-
ed the important responsibility of mould
ing the useful and susceptible mind. Par
ticularly is it the duty of mothers to at
tend to the moral and intellectual devel
opment of their children. 1t is to be
lamented that, as class, they are not
better fitted to conduct the education of
their own offspring. De Stael said, eff
you would insure the happiness of France,
instruct the mothers of the French peo-
pie" And the noble expression is alike
applicable to our own nation. 1T we
would but adopt such a plan, what glo-
rious improvement there would be in the
affairs of our land; what diminution of
vice!
There are those among us, young men
and women, with whom adverse fortune
has dealt roughly-whose aspirations
have been fettered and oppressed by the
CALLING chains of adversity--who would
gladly accept opportunities for instruc-
ton; whose hearts crave the priceless
boon of education; but their respective
occupations, engrossing the whole of
their time during the day, do not permit
them the leisure to improve themselves
as they desire to do.

THEIRS PERSONNEL. - The prints
abound now with pen sketches of
Theirs. A writer in APpIetons' Journal,
says of him TO us he appeared
short, thick-set, square-headed,
bristling haired, pugnacious little man,
with good deal of sparkle and u good
deal of obstinacy, trimming with irony
and flight" nervous, petulant, uneasy,
and charged throughout his diminutive
body with seemingly inexhaustible vi
tality and force-a physical trait well
fitted to his strong, determined, and
bellicose character. Rather German than
French in physiognomy, he was all Gal,ic
and all Marseillaise in his impetuous
vivacity and demonstrative manner.
Most engaging, no doubt, in conversa-
ton, and when talking in the social cir
Gle showing at, once his brightest and
his most amable side, it was evident
that he best enjoyed political lite, espe-
cially when that life was freely checkered
by pandemonium of strifes of the TO-
rum. To see him in the tribune, with
his cup of coffee or his glass of caret by
his side, his handkerchief in his hand,
and his coal-black eyes glaring out from
beneath the big, square spectacles which
he always affected, was TO see him when
his fullest force and genius were in play.
He was good hater, and probably never
an orator lived who felt more keenly the
luxury of forensic combat than Theirs
did in his old-time contests with the
prim and austere Guizot.

coed in conformity with the decision of the
Commission. The tellers will announce the
vote of Florida.
Senator Allison thereupon announced:
"Florida has given four votes for r. B.
Hayes as President, and four votes for Will
liam A. Wheeler, as Vice-Presdent."
The Vicc-President then opened the certif-
cate from the State of Georgia, and handed it
to the tellers. The vote was then counted
and it was declared that the State of Georgia
had given IL votes for Samuel j. Tilden as
President, and IL votes for Thomas A. Hen
bricks as ce-President
Next followed In succession the State OF
Illinois, with 81 votes for Hayes and Wheeler.
Indiana with 10 votes for Tilden and Hen
bricks. Iowa with II votes for Hayes and
Wheeler, Kansas with votes for Hayes and
Wheeler, and Kentucky with IL votes for
Tilden and Hendricks. Then came two GER
titicates from Louisiana, one showing votes
for Hayes and Wheeler, and the other votes
for Tilden and Hendricks. Objections being
made to both, the presiding officer declared
that the certificate, together with the objec-
ton to each, would be submitted to the
Electoral Commission for their judgment and
decision. The Senate then withdrew.
At a subsequent session, the resolutions OF
the Special Florida Committee were cOnsid-
cred.
The majority resolution declaring Tilden
elected was adopted, yeas, 142; nays, 1OS-
party vote, with the exception OF Purman,
who voted in the affirmative.
