THE BILL
What One Sundays Rulnous Worl

The following estimate Of the cost of
the Pittsburg riot by the New York
Wortd docs not take into account the
damage done by loss of life and the Grip
ping of q score or more of persons, nor
the shattering of the social laws or order
that may bear more fruit at any time:
"Thc tax payers of Pittsburg would
have beer less likely to allow a handful of
rufiians to convert their city into a pande-
monium if they had realized the conse-
quenccs to themselves OF that nights
hideous work rs fully as they now will he
made to do. Eight millions of dollars is
the lowest estimate Of the loss caused by
the mob, and many place it at Sl0,0 900, 900.
Already one pawnbrokcr, whose place of
business was ransacked by the crowd,
has sued to recover 5000; q leading law
yer notifies tho city that claims amount
ing to Sl5G,0 o have been entrusted to him
for collection, and SO it goes. A Pitts
burg paper estimates rudely the liability
of the county at Sll3 per voter. The total
amount being funded ut five per cent.
With tho allowance for a sinking fund,
the annual levy Of Pittsburg will bo in
creased from 5000, 00O to $1,000, 000. In
other words, for the next twenty odd
years every resident of Pittsbirg who
pays taxos will have his burden doubled,
because, actively or passively, he aided
last Saturdays rioting. In accordance
with the invariablo rule, this increase of
the municipal burden will fall upon the
man Of last rosort---the laborcr. When
tho property holder has to >pay 81 200
moro in taxes, he raises the rent OF his
scaants each 800, and each of them taxes
each of his ten individual customers 81
so reimburse himself. These things in
dictate the probable cost to the people of
Pittsburg of their practical oursc in po-
!Iisical courage. 1t will he expensive, but
IF they learn tho lesson thoroughly, it
will .prove.to be cheap in the end"

Before Marriage.

Lovers quarrels arise from different
cause ) sometimes from nero intensity
OF affection making undue cxactions, and
ut others from causes which, properly
understood and appreciated, would warn
tho parties OF the inlpossibility Of their
even living happily together.
For instance, Il young man who IS en-
gagged finds his allialccd very jealous.
Whenever they moct other ladies in soci-
city, she treats him with great GOODNESS.
This chills his ardor, and makes him dis
contented, 50 much SO, that he is in doubt
about marrying her at all. lie has in
fact, come to the conclusion that it he be-
loved she would treat him after marriage
in the same way she does now, he would
never marry her.
AS a general proposition, it may no laid
down that persons will not change essen
TALLY after marriage. A boliot that they
would, has been tho cause of countless
unhappy marriages. They will be just
about the same after as before, and, ii
anything, a little more likely to give way
to strong, natural ~proclivities, or pccul-
~iaritics Of temper.
If you would not marry a young wo-
man, provided you believe she would
continue to be rs she now is, without any
worry marked change in her disposition,
then yon do avery perilous thing to mar
ry her at all.
Tho same rule, on the other hand, mp
plies 10 the young men. Many and
many a girl has made a shipwrcck of her
happiness for life by marrying a young
man in the confidence that after marry
ing she would wiold such M INFLUENCE
ovcr him as to reform his wild habits.
She finds her influence diminished rather
than increased after they arc married,
and disappointmcnts, disagrcomonts and
misery necessarily follow. Marry no
onc|with whom, without any change OF
character, you arc not satisfied.

Our Job Department
The New Schedule.

We are pleased that the new schcdulc
IL giving general satisfaction to our pco-
pic. We begin to feel that we arc much
ncarer to our chief commercial city than
ever before. Some rumors that the OLD
schedule will he resumed ut an carly day
has created an unpleasant feeling OF dis
trust rs to the ~perlnancncy OF the present
arrangements. We have no means q!
knowing certainly what will he done, bnt
we have no fears of a rCtrogadc move
meut now. We would rs soon expect to
see the old stage coach mail line adopted
IS to expect railroad to 80 back to the
schedule which vas run a quarter Of q
century ago. The fast schedule is g
necessity and our citizens arc becoming
accustomed to the new hours, Which
suits many Of US better than the old time
of arrival. Mother the railroad III
thoritics or the business interests Of
Charleston will permit Of discontinue
ancc Of tho present very satisfactory
schedule.
The citizens of the ~up-country can now
go to Columbia one day and return the
next, arriving at tie capital at 8 ,. M,
ana remaining in the city until after
twelve o'clock the next day, giving ample
,imeto see State officials, bank officers,
&C., to transact any ordinary business.
BY this arrangement a days time and OK
penses are saved to every man who has
business at tho capital. In these hard
times this is quito q consideration.

TO the Voters of the 18th Township
and Others who May Like it.

You remember that, tho Press and
Banner, that good paper which every
BODY reads or should read, told you late
Nv that if you did not SOW turnips, bar
lev, red oats and wheat, that you might 60
to the devil next summer for the want Of
corn. That may be considered rough
medicine, and yet it might be as true as
the book of Absalon, as Dow jr, used
to SAY. l wish it had told you at the same
time that if YOU did not turn out on the
18th of August and vote against that mon
strous proposition which - intended to
require every poor man to fence up his
COW all the year, that you might 60 to
the devil for want Of milk next summer
or some other time. Now / think tho cd
itOr is 4 friend to the poor, and | do not
believe that he wishes any of us to 60 to
the devil for milk any more than for corn
or for want Of it. / rather thought the Cd
itnr on tho wrong side Of the fence and
invited him to climb over the other day.
I don't know whether he went for it or
not. l hope he will get over soon md
when he does, I should like to hear him
say II don't intend that the poor man
shall be compelled to fence up his COW"
81 don't intend that tho rich grass shall
waste it's sweetness on tho desert air."
"for tho poor mans cow needs 1t and
shall cat it wherever she can find it out
side of the fields, that she may give him
milk which, together with a good piece OF
bread, may keep him from going to the
devil" 1 am inclined to call this the
poor mans fight, and as we arc nearly all
poor now, l think we ought to viii, turn
out, turn Out, and vote ii down.

Remedy for Trouble.

Work is your true remedy. If mis-
else hard; pitch into something with q
will. There's nothing like good, solid,
absorbing, c%xhausting work to cure
trouble. If you have mot with losses,
you don't want to lie awake and think
about them. You want slecp-calm,
sound Sheppard TO eat your dinner with
IN appetite. But You can't unless You
work. II you say you don't feel like
work, and go loaiing all day, TO tell Dick
and Harry the story OF your woes, you'll
lie awake and keep your wife awake by
your tossing, spoil your temper and youl
breakfast tho next morning, and begin
tomorrow feeling ten times worse than
you do to-day.
There are some great troubles that only
time can heal, and perhaps some that
never can be healed ut all but all can be
holped by the great panacoa, work. Try
it, you who arc afflicted. 1t is not n pat
ent medicine. 1t has proved it's efficacy
since first Adam and Evo left behind
thom, with weeping, their beautiful
Eden. 1t ls an efficient remedy. All
good physicians in regular standing
prescribe it in cases Of mental and mora
disease. 1t operates rs kindly, as we'll,
leaving no disagreeablc sequeIac, and We
assure you that VIC have taken a large
quantity Of itwith most beneficial results
1t will cure more complaints than any
nostrum in the materia medica, and
comes nearer to being q ''cure-all' than
any drug or compound Of drugs in the
market. And it will not sicken you Il
you do not take it sugar-cOatcd.

DUE WEST, S. G., August 8, 1877.
Editor Press dad Bdnner:
DEAR SIR: In your account OF the
Pic Mic at McAdams spring on the 9th
ultiinO, you do me an injustice in causing
me to say that I "believed thoro were adj
vantagcs and disadvantages III the pro-
posed fence law and upon comparing
them he U) WAS not sure that the public
would bc benefited more tram it would
he injured by the CHANGE
In tho outset l stated that I was a "n0-
fence man which I reiterated during my
remarks.
l believe, sir, that if the argument, pro
and con, should he well considered with
an unbiased Judgment, by those of us in
tcrcsted we would heartily endorse the
''no-ftnce" plan.
l stated further that rs the surrounding
townships would fail to adopt tho plan,
(which i have from reliable parties, and
as the Due West township would have to
build a fence on every side with gates
&c. which ut the lowest estimate would
entail a heavy tax on our already empty
pockets of near 81 200, and us the
Legislature will undoubtedly pass q stock
act, very soon, which would necessarily
do away with our township fence, am
determined to vote mo on tho lith i'll
slant. "Wo made n gallant fight" tGcn-

TIE RosETTE PAETY.-Thc rosetto
party and moonlight social, given under
tho auspices of the ladies of the Baptist
church, on last Wednesday night, was
decidedly one Of the finest treats Of the
season. Tho beautiful grove in front OF
tho private dwellings, OH the northeast
side of tho Square, was the spot selected
for the occasion. At dusk the grove was
lighted up by 4 large number OF Chinese
lanterns, and this, combined with the re-
fulgcnt light OF q full moon, illuminated
the scene with almost daylight brilliancy.
The grove was we'll provided with seats
and other accommodations necessary to
tho pleasure of tho crowd. The clioi
centre of attraction, however, was the
post office, where fortune dealt out to the
gentlemen their partners for tho evening.
BY an admirable plan tho roscttcs wore
placed III a sealed envelope, rs well as a
ticket emitting the holder to supper for
himself and companion. Tho awards OF
the fates were Of course very incon-
gruous in many instances, but all happi-
~ contributed to the amusement of the
evening. The supper room was amply
stocked. by appreciated courtesy the
neighboring residents threw open their
parlors, and thus contributed to tho en-
joyments OF tho occasion. The affair
will long remain rs a charming episode
in jill community, and the ladies certain
ly deserve thanks for their successful CT
forts to render charitable entertainments
popular as well as agreeable --Nlnety-iSia

Home Conve rsntional Training.

There Is no nation moro fluent in con-
versation than tho American. The
French are moro valuble, perhaps, their
language permitting greater rapidity OF
pronunciation than the English. Our best
couvcrsationalists arc not rapid takers.
Ono trouble with us is, each ono likes to
do all tho talking, therefore Americans
are not good listcncrs.' But mere talking
Is not conversation. In almost all homo
circles there is much talking done during
tho day, but we fear there arc few who do
not reserve their most brilliant conVcrsa-
tional powers for other aSsemblages than
tho home group. Many Il father comes

talked q great deal, told amusing anec-
dotes, and displayed much wit. Ho has
como home to rest. He takes out his pa
per, and is soon obliviOus to everything
around him. Vito would like TO tell
him many Of the harassing Affections OF
the day, and would like to hear solno of
his interesting experiences, but If he
were Il deaf mute he could not be more
silent, only an occasional grunt answer
ing her many attempts ut conversation ;
and the children, except the good night
kiss, and often not ovon that, arc not
noticed. Such a home, whether the abode
Of wealth or otherwise, cannot be 2
healthy and happy one. As q parallel,
draw around the evening lamp of anothYr

dotcs from the papers as he roads thcln

education is a heritage moro valuable

The Wor.

During the past week tho Russians,
numbering about fifty thousand, have
been badly whipped on the South side OF
the Balkan Mountains soon after they
had effected their victorious passage
across this difficult barrier on tho march
to Constantinoplc. This is a serious de-
feat and will prolong the war. We have
but little sympathy for the intolerant
Mohammedan Tank, and wo have no
regrets for Russia's dofeat. We should
like to see England take possession OF
the Turkish capital, together with the
naval military strongholds of this ancient
rity, and should be glad to sec the Sultan
driven into Asiatic Turkey, hut would
regret to sec Russia take the Mohammo-
dan capital.

Editor Press and Banner:
Having had OCCASION lately to pass
through u considerable portion of III
county it afforded ME much qualification
to find such encouraging crop prospects.
There is doubtless 4 much larger acl cage
being cultivated III corn the present year
than in any YEAR since tho war and as
a general thing it is looking finely. The
cotton crop, where it has been worked,
will compare %tlyorably with the best
! which we have had for number of years,
and, with 4 few exceptions, it has been
very well worked. In the vicinitics OF
Cedar Springs and White Hall the sea-
Sons have no been so favorable, and the
crops were beginning to show signs Of
failure but l think they have had rains
ly delighted with the good management
and high culture rs manifested by the
growing crops of Mr.. John Wilkcrson, Of
White Hall. lie is most pleasantly sit
uaicd, has 4 good farm, and, what is best
of all, his labor, to q largo extent, is OF
that class which is entirely rcliable-bc-
ing composed of himself and three sons.
wv sorry that circumstances wore
such as prevented my spending q night,
as l had fully intended DONG, WITH my
old friend Captain Willis Smith. I hope
that ere this he has had fine rains and that

FRUIT.-When fruit docs harm it Is be-
cause it is eaten at improper times, in
improper quantities or before it is ripen-
ed and fit for the human stomach. A
distinguished physician has said that il
his patients would mako a practice OF
eating a couple of good oranges before
breakfast, from February to June his
practice would be gone. Tho principle
evil is that We do not cat enough of fruit
that we injure its finer qualities with SUI
gar; that we drown them in cream. We
need the medicinal action of tho pure
fruit acids in our system, and their cool

Tho Negroes Going to Liberia.

has never been Il time since the war that
they haven't been following a dcluSion OF

crciscd about tho glowing accounts OF

receive by emigrating to that Eel Dorado.
Now, VIC care not two straws whether they
go or not, but wo dislike to sec them

ncy." We advise the darkey to let Ii
