Hymeneal.

On Thursday last W. c. Bcnet, Esq,
and Miss Susan f.. MCGOWAN, eldest
daughter of General Samuel MCGOWAN,
OF Abbevillc, were married in Trinity
church, by the Rev. John Kershaw. The
marriage took place at II o'clock a. m, in
the presence of the different branches OF
the brides family and of a large audi
cncc. The church was decorated beauti-
fully with the freshest flowers of bloom
ing May and the ceremony was very inn
prcssive. When the marriage was over,
the happy couple retired to the residence
of the General, where they received all
their friends before they commenced the
long journey across the water, and the
longer journey of life. They left by the
two O'Clock train, on their trip to Scot
land. Many friends called to say good
bye" and took a glass at parting. 1t is
useless to speak of Miss Susie, whose
b%rilliancy, accomplishments and beauty
are we'll known, and whose name is Il
household word in every family of Able
Vile. Mr.. Benct is a young lawyer OF
good manners, intelligence and unusual
culture, and we wish the couplc-noI
formally-but sincerely and heartily long
life, much happiness II prosperity.

COLUMBIA, May 4.-The committee of

recommend the declaring of Wright's

shall be made. The prevailing sentiment
is to recommend the House to declare the

to fill the vacancy. If this is constitu-
tional it will be the safest and spediest

WHAT BECAME OF THEIR RooIEs.

Jenk Whitner's friends requested the
Sheriff to send his body to Anderson,
which he did, but the friends Of the two
Aliens made no request for their remains:
The coIored citizens of the village refused
to allow the bodies of these poor creatures
a resting place in their cemetery. and OF
course, the Sheriff had to look elsewhere
for a more friendly piece Of clay in which
he might lay them. He put them under
the sod of the Jail yard, where they will
sleep as soundly beneath the blazing
MONDAY sun, as they would under the
shade of the signing pines, and where
they will be as ready, III their unmarked
graves, to respond, on that great day, to
the sound of the trumpet as if they had
slept beneath sculptured marble.

JONES CHILL.-Ile was dry-hadn't
been so dry since the strike, but there was
no saloon near by, and he had passed the
last drug store. He knew Mrs, Jones had
II little old Hennessy about the house that
she put in puddings and pies, and he sat
down on the doorsteps and wondered how
he could save it from being wasted in such
fixings, as economy was his motto. A
scheme finally dawned upon him, and he
opened the door and felt his way back to
the ice cooler, got up in Il chair and iished
out II piece of ice, buttoned up his
coat and turned up his collar. Then he
staggered up stairs, ice in hand, and met
Mrs. Jones.
What's the matter, Jones-been drill

shiver. CaucusPn No, no caucus"

Jones, as he sank into chair and slipped
the ice into his coat pocket " Feel that

said it would answer if she had little hot
water and sugar to make it palatable,
They were on hand in two minutes, and
while she pulled off his boots and wrapped
the blanket round his feet, Jones mixed
his toddy and shivered. He felt better
afterward, though he made up terrible
face when he emptied the bottle, and told
Mrs. Jones that she had saved his life.
He retired ten minutes afterward singing,

MEASURING IIIGHTs AND DISTANCES
A writer in the Academy, London, speaks
enthusiastically of Prof Piokering's re-
Gently invented instrument for measuring
the distances and heights of mountains.
1t consists of common telescope, with II
level attached, Il scale of equal parts in the
eye piece, and with Il mirror of plate glass
fastened TO the object, SO it can be seen at
any angle. Two images are seen, one
through the glass, and the other by retlec-
ton from its surface, and any two objects
may be made apparently to coincide by
turning the mirror through the proper an
gle. The results obtained by this instru-
ment are such that it is, in fact, equivalent
to the stada, with the advantage that an
assistant need not be sent up the mountain
to be measured, and with the snmr accu-
racy that would be attained if he could
carry IL pole II hundred ora thousand feet
long. The altitude is then determined by
levelling the telescope and reading The APP
parent elevation from the graduated scale,
which is now turned round. BY second
inclined level, higher mountains may be
measured. 1t will probably equal in accu-
racy large thcodolite, with the advan-
tage that it does not involve n finely grad
ualed circle or delicate mounting The
operator selecting as his object the noun,
tain whose distance is to be measured,-
and, us the other, any convenient w, Il de-
fined points,-tho telescope is moved
through n known distance, the apparent
change of position of the two images being
measured by the scale. The instrument is
light and easily used,-a whole range OF
mountains might, in fact be measured by
it in few hours.

A WARNING TO BUSINESS MEN.-In a
recent address over the remains of mid
dle-aged parishioner, who had lost his
mind and life by the close attention to bus
mess DR., John Hall said:
"The strain upon the brain of our busi-
ness men during the past year has been
tremendous. Is it wise to allow ourselves
to be so given over to the absorbing inter-
ests of business as to incur this great risk
Is ii wise to throw ourselves into business
with such force that the strain may snap
the thread of life? A mans real life is not
merely enshrouded in business. 1t is in
his relations TO his family, to his immedi-
ate circle, and TO his friends, so that he
has peace within and well.founded hope
in God. Men of business, said he, keep
your business in hand; possess your bust
ness, and do not allow it to possess you,
so that you may, SO far as possible, avoid
the causes which Of late years have given
us SO many struggles and heartaches.
have not passed all my life with business
men without knowing the temptations by
which they are surrounded. know well
how hard the pressure continues upon you
and | ask you to take God with you, so
that you may be preserved in health and
enabled to feel that your real position and
your riches are incorruptibe, may not be
taken away. Let there be feeling among
us of how weak are we; how little we
know what is in the womb of the future,
Let MS believe the words which the Lord
speaks to us and whether we be successful
or not in this world, let us believe together
in God; let us he brethren together in the
mystic relations of His providence, and
when we are called, it may also be said of
us, blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, for their works do follow them"

Beneath the suns warm ray.
