JEFFERSON CITY.

EDITOR HUsBANDMAN:
On the evening of the 18th inst, aftersen-
countering some bad road up the Prickly
Pear creek, caused by high water, much
rain and snow,-for which the past spring
has been rather remarkable-Ifound my
self in Jefferson City in the midst of old
friends. l mean friends of long standing,
and, indeed, this needs to be qualified, for
my oldest friends in Montana, in point Of
time, cannot date further back than 1871;
but with some of these of whom l speak,
our acquaintance commenced from my first
introduction into the country, and under
quite touching circumstances. such as have
produced for us sacred memories.
While in this city, once upon q time, ifFI
mistake not, a competitor for the capt.
tai of Montana, at 8 o'clock, p. M, in the
house formerly known as the Meriman

relation between Mr.. J. G. Jones and Miss
Cora B. Sykes. The bridesand bridegroom,
taken together, made a fineyappearance, but
this of course, as is usual insuch cases, was
due to the more beautiful appearance of the
bride. The affair proved to be quite an en-
joyable one, such as furnish life with its
pleasant memories and "Reminiscences.
The next morning, in company with the
newly married couple and others. we went
up to the concentration, which is five miles
above Jefferson City. These are the most
extensive, if not the onlytworks of the kind,
for reducing silver ore in the Territory.
Even the dust that escapes from the differ
ent processes to which the ore. is subjected, is
carefally husbanded, being caught in yawn-
ing fiues, through which salively current of
air is passed by means ola, fan and air res

As a general thing it is understood that
there is no use warning d people against
too much or too close confinement to labor,
vet strongly prevalent as this opinion Is
there are many in our midst who CONNIE
themselves altogether too much to their
work. There are many dairymen and farm
ers who not only work from u up till sun
down. which is nearly fifteen hours, but
work from sun rise until into the night the
entire summer season. We know OF farmers
that do this, of farmers wives who never
know when their labor is done, OF armers
sons and daughters whose constant work
makes life grow irksome, and who long Tor
the dawn of manhood and ~wOmanhood that
they may quit the scenes they are thus COM
PEELED to despise for some other Calling.
Now, this is not economy; it is not profit
able to the farmer to spend all his time at
labor or compel his family to do so. Every
day should have its hours allotted for recre-
alton, for reading, ETC., and every few weeks
a day should be spared for visiting. Thus,
by i~nterspersing daily duties with a little
pleasure, they, which would otherwise seem
burdensome, are made light, and time moves
smoothly and evenly On.
The lives Of youths and maidens who
have this variety is one of happiness; they
see beauty in their. calling and grow up to
love it. The labor of seeding is over, the
irrigating season is far SPENT. and now, be-
fore entering upon the arduOus task. OF har-
vesting, it is mete' that the artne takes a
good holiday, and we know OF no. better
time than the memorable old "Fourth," our
national holiday. Let our people-not only
the farmers, but stock men, dairy men, me-
chanics, miner, in fact all industrial classes,
lay their cares aside for once, and unite in
having a general good, time. Let the people
gather at their respective resorts, at halls or
at some shady grove. have dinners and pic
MICS, and spend the day in social intercourse,
in speaking, eating, and other exercises OF
interest. A more opportune time never pre-
scented itself. Our country is prosperous,
every branch of industry is looking Up, and
the prospect of plenty was never more prom
Using. Then let us rejoice and be merry
while we may.
Those who know nothing but work, work,
day in and day out, cannot realize what a
beneficial effect a days pleasure seeking will
have. 1t breaks the monotony. gives rest to
both mind and body, and enables one to re-
turn to his duties with renewed energy.

March of the State Cadets from. GreenvtWe
Colonel Thomas Waiting for Orders
"A Confederate Command after the
Confederacy aoas Gone.
In the month of April, 1865, when the
closing scenes of the great drama of our
civil war were being enacted. and the nation
which had known such brief but brilliant
life was in its death throes, Colonel Thomas,
now of the Carolina Military Institute, Pro.
fessor Sans, now of the Spartanburg High
School, Professor Norris, now practicing
law at Edge6eld, G. H., and Professor Pat.
rick, now OF Grccnville High School, were
in command of the cadets of the State Mil
itary School, who, together with a compa-
ny Of recruits, had been mustered into the
service of the Confederate States, and were
encamped in Greenville
Some time during the latter part Of the
,meath->-i' II -sxG-- asl- rightly informed, this
command of one hundred and twenty
youthful soldiers struck tents an. started
for hasty march down the railros toward
Columbia. The upper part of the State
was then beginning to swarm with United
States soldiers and when Colonel Thomas
command reached the neighborhood Of
williamson, while taking rest of a few
minutes by the roadside, they were charged
upon and fired into by party of the ene-
my's cavalry. Taken completely by sur
prise, and aroused suddenly from sleep, it is
not to be wondered that the boys were
thrown into confusion, but goody number
of them quickly rallied and returned tie
fire, unseating some of the horsenen and
repulslng tho charge. They then pressed
on, marching at the rate of about thirty
miles day, until they reached Ninety Six.
On arriving here, some fellow, with little
moro temerity than the rest, gave expires.
sion to the universal feeling among them,
that to continue longer as an organized Con-
tcderate command was not only useless, but
dangerous, by calling out from the ranks ::
Come, Boys, let's go home;" whereupon
Col. Thomas gave severe rcbuke in the
form OF stirring, patriotic speech, and
called upon all who were willing to remain
with him to step to the front, with the as
surance that any who did not come 70 f0f ward
would be peymittcd to 20 home. Unlike
Gldcons army, they all, to man, stood the
test and stepped forward Col. Thomas
then marched them into the woods on the
south side of the Kate Fowler branch, and
went into camp, on the very spot where the
writer now lives, within the incorporate
limits of Ninety-Six.

duty, looking back to the past only to gain
wisdom for the future, and using the present
wisely, aud looking to the future with hope
and trust in God, am sure that we may

SOUTHERN HEBREwS


A weekly journal, devoted to the interest Of
Judaism and Humanity, Art, Science, Literature
and general Information.
The establishment Of Southern Jewish JoSe-
nal in the interest of Judaism and the dissent
nation Of its truths, would, we think, be no su-
perfuous addftion to the list Of journals Of like
character issued at the North and West. Rely
ing therefore on the encouragement of our CO.
leigionists in general and ON the support of our
Southern brethren and friends in particular, We
have decided to venture upon this Nete Southern
Enterprise, and shall, about the first week in
September, present for the favorable considers
tion Of the public.
The Southern Hebrew,
combining all requisites necessary for carrying,
on an instructive and interesting journal, il
shall be our aim to submit paper, rcplete with
oil that is calculated to engross the attention of
those eager to welcome and entertain such
visitor to the home circle. Under able manage
ment in all departments, with the aid of minis
ters, teachers and the native talent of others in
this section of the country, we hope to make
this journal valuable adjunct to the Synagogue
and the religious school. A hearty "God speed''
has already been given us, and fresh impetus to
our energy, which is deeply gratifying to tho
laborers in the vineyard.
The He6rew will be the organ Of no special
class, nor will any particular shade of opinion
be advocated in its columns, but shall cheerfally
ehuorse inc right ana the truth whencesoevor
they may em,nate. In matters Of religious opin-
ion, as well as on any important subject, we shall
be Independent TN nErerything-Neutral in Moth
ing.
This being the only jewish journal issued in
the South, THE HEBREW claims to possess supe-
rior advantages advertising medium, with
rates equal to the lowest
With your aid and encouragement, we trust TO
be able to realize every reasonable expectation.

Life is a road that winding leads away

TO view the beatcous scenes that round me lie
Now waters sparkling as bright silver clear,
Now gorgeous flowers that scent the summer air.
Fain would stop. but must stride,
And sec behind me ruin far and wide.
All nature troubled, trembling in alright,
Down the dim vistas, swallowed up In night;
Fain would cheer the way, fain gather still,
But 10 , the fresh at morning caught,

And fruits that glow rs when the world WAS young,
Crushed by some fend turn bitter OH the tongue;

The charm fpcS slowly now from Natures face,
The gaplcns seem less iowery, flowers less bright;
NJ more their radiance mocks the rainbow's light,
No more the meadows laugh in summer green,
Round clear streams lancing in their crystal sheen
The end draws when all of life must fade
And Deaths grim shadow dccpCnS through the glade,
We feel his breath, we near the fatal spot
Approach the brink nor shuu the certain lot
Now horror fills the sense the head turns round

In vain you grasp the air, the brink gives way,

campment OF organized Confederate soldiers
this side of the Mississippi. If 80, to the
State Cadets aud the recruits connected with
them belongs the honor of having been the
last command Of the Confederacy, and to
Ninety.Six was granted the privilege of fur
nishing the last camping ground fer this
gallant little band.
Several Of tho citizens urged Colonel
Thomas to dbbahd the command and send
them home, as it was a needless task for him
to continue to hold them together but, SOL
dier like, he waited for orders. Finally,
some time in May, perhaps month or more
after General Lees surrender, Colonel
Thomas became satisfied that all the Con-
federate authorities were either captured or
across the Mississippi, and that it was utter
ly vain to wait longer for orders, marched his
little command to Newberry, and there dis
banded them.
If any who may read these lines should
know any further facts connected with this
subject, or any facts contradictory of the
statements herein made, we would be very
glad to have them.
Since the above was written, We learn
Col. Thomas did not determine to disband
until he reached Nowberry, aud that he re-.
mained there day or two before doing So.

The discussion that choice bit will call
forth is sometimes most interesting. Mr..
Fairgrieves gave the fox a bone the other
day. The dog had been taught by expe-
rience that it was no use to try to capture it,
80 he retired into the store to watch the pro-
ceedings, doubtless hoping something would
turn up in his favor. The fox ate. what he
wanted of the bone and preferred to lay it
away for future use. The dog pricked up
his ears. bu: yawned and betrayed no spe-
cial interest. The fox dug hole, placed
the juicy bone in the bottom, and ''patted'
it down. He then went into his kennel.
brought out an old dry bone that he had
kept away from the dog for several days
''out of pure cussedness," placed it in the
hole over the sweet one, covered it up with
apparent care and retired to his kennel to
watch operations. The dog saw the fox

A Steamboat Safe Robbed.

Montreal, Sept. 22.-Great excite
ment reigns in marine circles over the
robbery Of s12,8O0 from the steamer
Beauharnois. This steamer makes daily
trips between Montreal and Beauharnois
When she started from the lower canal
basin, there was on board in the cap
tain's cabin sl2,s0o. OF this $4,000
was shipped by the Merchants bank,
consigned to its branch in Beauharnois,
and $4,000 was sent by Tourville, and
$500 belonged to the owners. At St.
Gabriel locks two strangers got on
board, and, it appears, left the boat
at Cote st. Paul, where the boat was
detained for some time, which deten-
tion occupied the attention of the
captain, so that 1t is likely the robbery
took place at this juncture. After the
steamer had left Lachine Capt. Filgate
proceeded to his Office and found that
his safe was locked, while the key was
missing. Feeling suspicious, he broke
open the safe, and found the Sl2, SOC
missing. After reaching Beauharnois
he returned with the steamer to
Lachine, and then drove into the city,
warning the detectives of his loss.
