QUEER ANTICS OF RADICAL OFF
c1ALs.-The Edgefeld Advertiser says:
On Friday last, remarkable perform
ance took place in our Judge of Probate s
office, leading to very disgusting and
exasperating manifestation of Radical
villainy. For six months past, or more,
Bouey, the mulatto Judge of Probate,
has been Systematically and Seriously an
noying the members of our bar, and pre-
venting the settlement of several estates,
oy declaring that certain papers and
moneys were locked up in the iron safe
of the office and that he had lost the key.
Ever and anon this brazen tale was told.
On the morning in question, a reference
was begun by Gen. NJ. G. Butler and Mr..
Jno. R. Abney, and again Bouey told his
stereolyped lie. Hereupon these two
gentlemen called a meeting of the bar,
and it was determined to enter the Office,
open the safe, and penetrate the mystery.
All the bar attended the ceremony. A
blacksmith was also there. And BY
ISLANDERS. The huge safe, after being laid
lovingly upon its back, then upon its
belly. and then upon either side, gently
Welded to the blacksmith's chisel and
what do you think was disclosed? Moth
iag-not an individual thing. The scene
was intensely amusing, but we have not
time to describe it. Bouy, who has sur
rendered the Office to Jesse Jones, as
Clerk of the Court, was not present.
Jesse was also not present, but before
leaving, uttered a lofty and uirtuous pro-
test. Jesse, whose father might have
been all ape, and his mother cocoanut,
is now the great leader, father, champion,
friend. of the negro race in Edgefeld.
To this degradation has the negro race
come! Having struck no "ile," three of
the gentlemen of the bar waited upon
Bouey at his house and informed him
of the dry and barren result of their rape
of the lock. He received them blandly
he is a preacher too !-and informed
them that One Hundred and Eighty:fve
Dollars had been imprisoned in this safe,
and if it was not there, then false keys
had been used for its removal. And this
tale the impudent and lying idiot sticks
to He ought to be arrested, indicted
for stealing and perjury, tried, convicted, ,
and sent to the Penitentiary. Aud if
not this, then the people of Edgefeld
should not hesitate one moment to drive
him out of their County. And the gen.
tlcman born of the ape and the cocoanut
ought to be made to follow him.

culpabiIity. Is what we publish true
copy of the letter of September %, 1870?
We ask this question of Elliott who had
the original, and of Mr.. Chamberlain
who wrote it. Was there an agreement
between Parker, Chamberlain and Kimp-
ton, and what are its terms? We ask
this question Of Mr.. Chamberlain and of
Mr.. Parker, who is not SO far distant
from Charleston that he cannot hear
what is said to him. And we warn the
persons to whom we PROFOUND the ques-
tions that shifts and evasions cannot
serve them! If Mr.. Chamberlain knew,
as we know, the danger of his position,
he would not take the risk that con6ding
Parker took, at time when the Repub-
lican officials still had some influence
over judges and juries in this State!

How THE INDIANS CLIMB TREEs.--In
South America even the weakest women
may not uncommonly be seen seen plucking
the fruit at the tree tops. If the bark 10 -
smooth and slippery that they cannot go up
by climbing they use other means. They
make hoop of wild vines, and putting their
feet inside they use it as a support in climbs
ing The negro of the west coast of Afries
makes larger hoop around the tree, and
gets inside it, and jerks it up the tree with
his tnds, little at a time, drawing his legs
up after it. The Tahitian boys tie their feet
together four or five inches apart, With
piece of palm bark, and with the aid OF this
fetter go up the cocoa palms to gather ,luts.
The native women of Australia climb the
gum trees after opossums; where the bark is
rough they chop holes with hatchet, then
one throws about the tree a rope twice as
long as will go around it, puts her Ratchet
on her cropped head, and, placing her feet
against the tree and grasping the rops with (
her hands, she bitches it up by jerks, ~
pulls herself up the enormous trunk almost
as fast as NAH will climb a ladder.-Appts-

THE SMOKERS REVERE.

I'm sitting at'dusk meath the old beechen tree,
With Its leaves by the autumn made ripe;
While they cling to the stems like old age unto life,
dream Of the days when I'll rest from this strife
And In peace smoke my brierwood pipe.
Oh my brierwood pipe of bright fancy the twin,
What a medley OF forms you create;
Each pun Of white smoke seems vision as fafr
AS the poets bright dream, and, like dreams fades
in air.
While the dreamer dreams on OF bis fate.
The neecy white clouds that now float to the sky,
Form the visions love most to see;
Fairy shapes that I saw in my boyhood's first
dreams
Seem to beckon me on, while beyond them there
CLEANS
A bright future in waiting for me.
Oh my brierwood pipe ne'er loved thee as now
As that fair form and face steal above;
See, she beckons me on to where roses are spread,
And she points to my fancy.the bright land ahead,
Where the windwhistles nothing but love.
Oh answer, my pipe, shall my dream be as fair
When 1t changes to dreams OF tho past7
When autumns chill winds make this leaf look rs
sere
AS the leaves on the beach tree that shelter me
here.
VIII the trees heart be chilled by the bast7
While muslng has gathered around me heap
or the leaflets all dying and dead;
And ] see in my reyerie plainly revealed
The slope OF te's hill in my boyhood concealed
By the form that fair fahcy hath bred.
While sit on the banks Of the beautiful stream,
Plucking roses that bloom by its side
know that the shallop viii certainly come
When the roses are wlthered, to carry me home,
And that life will so out with the tide.
Oh my brerwood pipe may the heart be as light
When memory suppants the bright dream;
When the sun has gone down, may the sunbeam
remain,
And llfes roses, though dead, all their fragrance
retain,
TIL they catch at eternitys gleam

The youth sprang forward and grasped
his hand with gratitude, and the next mo-
mcnt Annette was weeping for pure joy up
on his s. builder. The welkn rang with the
acclamatons of the delighted villagers, and
amid the temporary excitement produced
by this act, the stranger withdrew from the
crowd, mounted his horse, and spurred him
at brisk trot through the village.
That night Henry and Annette were mar
ried, and the health of the mysterious and
nobe-hearted stranger was drank in o7er-
flowing bumpers Of rustic beverage
In process of time there were born unto
the married pair sons and daughters, and
Henry Carroll had become Colonel Henry
Carroll of the Revolutionary army.
One evening, having returned home after
hard campaign, he was sitting with his
family on the gallery of his handsome resi-.
dence, an advanced courier rode up and an
nounced the approach of General Washing
ton and suite, informing him that he should
crave his hospitality for the night. The
necessary directions were given in reference
to the household preparations and Colonel
Carroll, ordering his horse, rode forward to
meet and escort the distinguished guest,
whom he had never seen, though serving in
the same widely extended army.
That evening, at the table, Annette, now
become the dignifed, natronly, and still
handsome Mrs. Carroll, could not keep her
eyes from the face of her ilustrious visitor.
| Every moment or two she would steal a
glance at his commanding features, and half
doubtingly, half assuredly shake her head
and look again, to be still more puzzled.
Her absence of mind and embarrassment at
,ength became evident to her husband, who
inquired afectionately if she were ill.,
