- Mosby, when drawing his first quar-
ter's pay as Consul, remarked to the pay
ing teller of the treasury, "This is the

masters during the late war;"
"A. J. Hinckle, the younger Of the
two brothers convicted of violating the
revenue laws at the recent session of the
United States Court at Greenville, died
Thursday of typhoid fever. He had been
sick for some days, and was taken from
Jail to private house, where he died.
= A letter from New York to one Of
our citizens saya: "Who do you suppose
came to beg for some money yesterday to
buy food, and this was the second time
he had come? Poor devil | felt sorry
for him in his abject misery, and gave
him enough to carry him through the
day. The fellow was your Ex-Governor,
Moses. He pretends that he wants to
return to South Carolina, but has not the
means to return" - Beaufort Tribune.
of cotton cloth the United States
exported last year i26,000,000 yards,
while the amount in 1S74was but is, ,0O0,-
900. Employers claim that the earnings
of the mill operatives are higher now
than in 1860, in proportion to the cost of
living, and mills are supplying goods at
less cost than in that year. Although
supplies cost more and cotton the same,
greater skill and economy, with improv-
ed machinery, produce thess results.
- The people of the North still con.
tinue to send us food, clothing and
money. They have not wearied of we'll
doing. Their committees are still at
work and their great dailies are still urg-
ing collections for our sick and destitute
people. With generosity unbounded
they are piling up measure after meas
ure, each one larger than the other, and
all overAowing, even after we have said,
"thanks, NE have enough and to spare"
What can we say? Words will not tell
the sense of gratitude we feel at an ex.
hibit of manly perseverance i'll agoood
work surprising anything the world has
known before.--Memphis Appeal, Octo-
Der II.
- The Edisto (Orangeburg) Clarion of
Saturday last has the following: "On
Monday night rs some raftmen were
coming down Black Creek, Lexington
County, they noticed the body of a man
in the water just below Bambeau's
Bridge. On examination in the road
near the bridge they noticed where e ve-
hicle had come over from the Edgefeld
side and turned around. Just where it
turned pool OF blood was found. The
tracks of the vehicle were traced six or
eight miles up the Edgefeld road and
then lost. The mans throat was cut.
1t is to be hoped that the guilty party
may be arrested, and meted out the just
punishment the foul deed demands. We
also learn that The body Of another man
was found in the Edisto River, just be-
low Horsey's Bridge. His throat was
cut besides having several stabs in the
body"
- Along the Railroa'! from Char
lesion to Bonneau. few days ago, the
coIored people turned out in droves to see
and welcome Gov. Hampton. The men
wore red shirts or red flannel belts around
the waists, or shoulders, or hat, and the
women red tippets, which made them
proud to know that they were thus un-
mistakably identified with the Democrat
ic party, that too in the presence of Gov.
Hampton himself. No such pride and
laudable enthusiastic ever actuated their
hearts before, no such freedom ever fill
ed their bosoms with an honorable-a
self-approving ambition in the days of
their slavish Republicanism, Two of
their old political masters, Bowen and
Taft, were among the passengers, and
witnessed this grand demonstration of
freedom and political hope on the part of
their recent slaves and tools without a
word of comment-with bowed heads
and sad hearts. 1t was to them the fun
eral service of tha sinking Republican
corpse.
- Among tho thousand and one arti-
cles sent to Memphis by the benevolent
souls of the country for the relief of the
fever sufferers, many are most useless for
the people, some of them ludicrously so.
Some of these the Memphis Aralanche
thus instances: "a sealskin victorine; q
dozen double.lined buckskin gloves, that
would be useful in Alaska /; dozen or
more of beautiful chemises, handsomely
embroidered on the outer edges, at top
and bottom; the latter, though bright
and clean, evidently secondhand. Some
good, pious woman had stripped herself
to tue bone to give aid and comfort to
our sick, destitute and dying people.
God bless her, shy We. There were boxes
of shoes, too, Of all sizes, shades and
proportions. There were slippers suffi-
cient to supply all the ministers who ever
lourished on these bluffs" Says the
AuaLanche:: $50 much of this stuff is so
utterly useless that we must laugh at the
donors lack of knowledge of our wants,
but when we think of the generous spirit
that has prompted these liberal dona-
tions, we feel more like crying"
