MODEST BUT THRIFTY VILLAGE.

HooDsTowN, S. g., April ~.
He that bloweth not his own horn, bis
horn will not he blown. Therefore, we pro-
pose giving short outline of our little town.
Hoodstown is situated about thirteen miles
west of Yorkville, in that beautiful section
known as the Dark Corner. The village con-
taius eighteen families and upwards Of one
hundred inhabitants Mercantile and indus
trial interests are represented by two retail
stores of dry goods and groceries, one black
smith shop, wagon shop, one shoe shop, one
cabinet shop, three house builders, steam
mill and cotton gin. A number are also
engaged in agricultural pursuits. In addition
to the foregoing, we have 6ne school in suc-
cessful operation, and one church. About
a half mile from Hoodstown are eight
families, situated in group-all farmers.
Our citizens are all temperate and frugal.
Taking it all in sll, our locality is in fine
section of the country-rich in natural re-
sources, with as many handsome women as
can be found in any population ofequal num-
Der. The greatest drawback we have is our
isolation from mail facilities, our nearest
acceptable post.office being FIVE miles distant.
Crops in this section are quite promising
at the present time. Wheat and oats are es-
peciaily fine. The farmers are fully up with
the season and their work. T.

GOVERNOR HAMPTON AT AIKEN.


Scheutzenfest at Aiken last week, and on
Wednesday night we're serenaded by the
Aiken Democratic Club. In response to nu,
merous calls, the Governor appeared on the
balcony of the Highland Park Hotel, and
addressed the assemblage in brief speech
of which the following synopsis was tee
graphed to the Augusta Chronicle and Con-
stitutionaList
Nv friends, when I came over expected
to perform no duty but drink lager, and
shoot at target, but as you have done me
the honor to call on me, acknowledge your
kindness I will speak of the past, the pres.
ent and the hopes of the future. Two years
ago, when hope had almost forsaken US, when
I appeared here, trusting in the people, the
Justice of our cause and the truth of the AL.
mighty, ton you that if true to yourselves
and the women aud children of the State
yours would be the victory.
I spoke to you as Carolinian TO Carolin
ians, white and black, Northerners who lived
here, or Germans who brought their house
hold goods from the fatherland. l appealed
to you that it was better to fail in struggling
to do right than to succeed in doing wrong
Our platform was broad and strong enough
for all. We ask them only to rescue our
State from vampires and redeem it. We are
largely indebted to the colored voters of Car:
olina. believed always that the colored
men would find their truest friends were the
good men of the South. Parties were divided
by the color line. The colored people in New
berry have renominated the present State
ticket. The colored people all recognize the
benefits of Democratic rule, and now trust
those whom two years ago they distrusted
Does not this repay you for your struggles? ?
Our State has gone further to settle the re.
latons between the races than any State in
the South since the war. l promised to be
the Governor of the whole people, and en-
force all the laws equally, and [ have done it.
l feel it as the proudest triumph of my life to
say that my pledges have been fulfilled. .
I can tell the colored people that l will
protect them so long as | am Governor, and
they shall stand impartially under the @gis
of the Constitution. l met men here to day

Planets In October.
Providence journal.


Saturn will retain during the month
the prc-eminenco Of being the most in
teresting planet among the brotherhood.
Having SO recently passed his upposi-
ton with the sun, he is still nearly in
his brightest phase, and is also very
ftvorahly situated for observation. He
rises now about 5 o'clock in the after
noon, and reaches the meridian mt Ii.
AT the close of the month he will rise
not far from 3 o'clock. He is therefore
visible throughout the whole night, and
is readily recognized in the eastern sky

to appear, by his steady light and tho
absence of other stars in his immediate
vicinity.
Jupiter remains during the month

object among the myriad stars TINT stud

his best position for observation. ITo
reaches the meridian about Z o'clock,
and sets Just before midnight. AT the
end Of the month he will set about 10
O'Clock.
Venus still leads the morning stars,
and is fast approaching the sun. She
rises now about halfpast 4, little more
than an hour before sunrise AT the
end Of the month she will not rise till
nearly & o'clock, and will then be so
near the sun us TO be almost eclipsed in
his rays. The close proximity of Venus

Homemade IIayanas.
New YORK Telcgram, IN.

Cigars are being made in almost ex-
act imitation Of Havana brands, and are
sold M such without detection. The
tricks Of the trade have been exposed
in the custom-house in the seizure Of
twenty thousand fine Regallas, Rienas
and Henry Clays by an officer who saw
them being driven through West street
and became suspicious That they had
been smugglcd from u Havana steam
ship. The offer Of $500 by the driver
to let him 70 made the officer feel Ger
tain that they had been struggled.
Some Of the cigars were shown to the
government expert for appraisement,
and he reported them to be imported
and worth ut the rate Of $l25 u thou
sand. On yesterday three cigar-makers
called on Deputy Collector Phelps and
said they believed the lot to be cigars
that had been stolen from them u few
days ago. They gave trademarks and
numbers corresponding with those OH
the boxes. They admitted that their
business was To manufacture cigars in
imitation Of any Havana brand.

ANOTHER brief sketch Of Prince Bis
mark 1T home appears in the London
Times, which says: Nothing is more
simple and touching thanthe respectful
and silent enthusiasm with which his
wife and children surround him, and
the devotedness they show to him. In
his family circle he lets himself be gov
erned by their anxious tenderness.
When he leaves the table his wife or
son brings him his long clay pipe and
lights it for him. This first pipe smok-
ed, a second, all ready, is handed TO him,
and this is afterward gently taken from
him without third being brought. The
Prince yields TO this silent tyranny which
relieves him Of Of a portion Of his per-
sonal cares. His son Herbert told me,
i have put my father to bed, for he too,
you see. ends by being tired lie is
treated, indeed, by his family as demi-
god, and cared for AS an infant. On
hearing him chat with his family one

expresses himself, the grace with which
lie stoops To familiarity, and also by the
feeling Of irresistible force which he in
spires. 80 that when once he has said
anything it becomes law

Take Care Of the Horses.

The Illinois Humane Society, through an
appeal issued by their committee, make the
following suggestions. which owners of
horses will serve their own interests by at
tending to:
l. Mocs.-1f horses are sharp shod in
icy weather. they will pull larger loads to
greater advantage. 1t Is poor economy to
neglect the proper shoeing of horses, which
may thus be seriosly injured.
2. Blankets, @c.-Horses should be pro-
tected by blankets or waterproof covers
from rain or snow while standing. The
cost Of blanket is very small, and its use
would repay the outlay very many times.
Any wooden or other protection placed
under the pad or saddle, and extending
back over the hips, will be found very use
full, as protecting weak part Of the an
mai.
3. Uipping.-The clipping Of horses at
this season is considered TO be ut least inn
prudent, and by this society. inhumane.
Owners are respectfully urged to allow the
animals to retain the covering which na-
turc has provided. - .s
!. CHcck-Rcius. Work horses. if at all. |
should be checked very low. They can
thus pull to greater advantage. protect
their eyes from rain or snow, and are less
liable to stumble or injure themselves. II
will be noticed that the city railway COM
panies have largely abandoned the use of
). Bits.-It is prudent to warm with
the hands or otherwise bits before placing
them in the horses mouths.
