FORKS.

Mr.. EpTToR: Permit me to refer to an or
ssanizatien in the upper par. cs :!:c County
which is attracting considerable attention.
l refer 20 militia company called the Con-
ner Light Dragons. 1t was first known as
Garvin Light Dragons, but in consideration
OF the distinguished services of Gen. Conner
in this State it. was changed to Conner Light
Dragons The members of the Company
are very proud OF its name, and believe that
they have the sympathy of the General, who
las already rendered incalculable services to
ehem in aiding the Captain in getting arms.
It was organized at the suggestion of it's
worthy Captain, Hon. r. w. Simpson,
about the ist September, 1877, since which
time 1t has been meeting as often as prncti-
cable Tor drill, &C. ii now numbers about
seventy, and is gaining accessions at each
meeting, is we'll differed, and has become
an organization, of which the County may
well be proud. When it was first formed
many predicted that 1t would be "dafunct''
before the close of the year, but on the 22d
ult. - permanent success was dcmonstra-
ted beyond q question.
This forms q memorable day in the histo-
ny of the Company. To have supposed two
years ago that a Democratic cavalry compa-
ny could be organized, armed and equipped
by the government IN the State of Sonth
Carolina wonld hive been preposterous, and
the idea OF the Company receiving arms
when it was organized was chimerical, but

Now and Then.

1t Is only now and then that such men as
Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith
and E.-Gov. brown, of Ga, endorse med
icine for the throat and lungs, and when
they do it is pretty good evidence that the
remedy must be good for the cure of coughs,
colds and lung affections. They recommend
the GLOBE FLOWER CoyoH SygUP, and their
testimonials are to be sten round the ten
cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower
Syrup for sale by SIMPSON, REID & CO.
A sample bottle relieves the worst cough,
and will cure sore throat. Regular size

Morbid Impulse.

One of the most singular instances m

tho case OF a young man who not long
ago visited a large iron manufactory. He
stood opposite a huge hammer, and watched
with great interest its perfectly regular
strokes. At FIRST 1t was beating immense
humps Of crimson metal into thin, black
sheets but the supply becoming exhausted,
at last 1t only descended on the polished
anvil. Still the young man gazed i~ntently
on its motion; then he followed its stroke
with q corresponding motion Of his head
then his left arm moved to the same tune
and finally he deliberately placed his 6si
upon the anvil. and in a second it was
smitten to a jelly. The only explanation
he could afford was. that he felt an impulse
to do it, and that he knew he should be dis
abled; that he saw all the
In q misty kind Of manner; but that he
still felt n power within. above sense and

he succambed. and by which he lost n GOOD

A Delightful Legend.

occupied In common by two brothers. On

ing besn gathered IN shooks. the elder
brother aid to his wife. my younger

within himself. my elder brother has q

on the following morning they found their

Fidelity Of a Dog.

Numerous instances Of fidelity Of the dog
TO his master are on record, but We ventur,
TO assert that there are nom equal 70 that dis
played by the animal Of the man whose bod
was found at Quatta in the carly part of las
week. The deceased's body was found by thu
boundry rider, Mr.. james MILAN, across thu
trunk of a fallen troe. He was attracted to
the spot by the pitiful yelping Of the faithful
dog. For days, without food or water, the
poor beast kept watch over the body, during
which il killed fourteen various reptiles, Of
iguanas, whose carcases were since discovered
near the spot 1t fought the birds Of prey
and though it could not keep of decompoGi
ton, it succeeded in keeping the body from
being devoured. There was no casting Of lot
between master M dog TO see which should
die FIRST to satisfy the cravings of the survi
vor. When the deceased was buried, the poo
animal laid down and died on the newt,
made grave. The animal must have gone
fourteen days at least without food.-Syd

What Chemistry Has Done.

DR.. ILL ". Thudiehum, in q recent lee
ture 'On the Discoveries and Philosophy of
Liebig," delivered before the Society Of Arts
In London, referred as follows to the posi-
ton which this latest born Of the sciences
has already attained THE youngest of the
sciences or the youngest branch of science
Is chemistry, founded by Lavoisier and Dali
ton; developed by thousands of clear heads
and nimble hands, II has In half o century
become q recognized power in the affairs of
man. II has materially improved his estate,
and enlarged his mind to conceptions of an
elevating nature; it has become q ready test
of his reasoning and working power. It has
become the handmade of almost all the elder
sisters: of astronomy, teaching the compo-
sition of distant stars, Of geology, teaching
tho composition and changes of strata and
minerals of physiology, vegetable and ami
NAL, teaching about food, nutrition, growth,
changes, death and decay of the healing
art, teaching the nature of evils in the shape
Of disease, and the meaps of curing or miti-
eating them. This science, too, was develop
ed by work,-work physical and mental, its
why's were often rugged, its endeavors mis-
apprehended, opposed, suppressed. And the
great men whose names are inscribed upon
the roll of its principal promoters will be
considered by posterity as benefactors akin
to Hercules, removing evils, establishing the
good and true. If we cannot now inscribe
names and likenesses amongst the stars, and
transfer them to an olympian abode, yet we
can honor them by admiring their works and
lessons, by sharing and continuing their work,
by, as it were, living their lives with them
over again, and thus prolong their memory
forwards while we prolong our own in the
inverse direction. We ought to honor them
out Of gratitude no less than out of the de-
sire to benefit continuously mans estate"

TnR cause Of Paul de Cassagrac, tn wen
known B%onapartist bravo, having declined
the duel offered to him by DIR. Clemenc, au
ID now known. The latter is SO excellent n
shot that, when formerly provoked by an
officer, he declared beforehand he would
shoot him exactly in the diaphysis of the
shin-bone, that is a place where shot wounds
can be healed without ~amputation. Whon
his friends doubted so extraordinary pref
cheney in handling the pistol, he gave proofs
of 1t to them by shooting at n number of
slaves at a long distance, with n certain part
Of them painted black, and afterward made
good his point on the officers shinbone.-
Cassagnac, therefore, refuses to meet the
Doctor with firearms, but tries to provoke
him into committing an insult which would
Enable him (Cassagnac) TO hnve the choice
Of arms. With the foil the ~Bonapartist duel
list is sure to kill his man.
