TOpsey.

Minnie's father has black mare called
Topsev. She is very kind and gentle.
Sometimes Minnie's father leads Topsey
out Of her stall, fastcns her to a ring
which hangs from the ceiling of the
stable, and puts Minnie on her back.
Minnie pats the horses neck with her
little hand, and says, $50 along, Topsey."
Topsey walks round in circle as far
as the length Of the rope she is fastened
with viii allow, and when Minnie says
'Whoa!' she stops; but, at the first pat of
Minnie's hand, she starts off again. Min
ME calls this playing circus.
TopseY is fond of apples and if any one
goes into the stall with an apple in his
pocket, she smells it at once, and holds
up one Of her fore feet, and whinnies, as
if she meant to say: eff you please, l
would like that apple very much"
Minnie's papa sometimes lets Topsey
walk about the yard, and crop the grass.
One day, as she was gazing in the yard,
she came towards the side-door. Minnie,
who was in the house, opened the door,
and held out an apple. Topsey saw it,
and walked up 70 the piazza, and would
have come into the house if Minnie had
not closed the door quickly.
She opened the window, and handed
Topsey the apple. Topsey stood and
munched it, and, when it was gone, stuck
her head in at the window, and looked
all about, as if she were saying, "Is this
where you keep your apples? I would
like another" Minnie pattea Topsey's
nose, and said, "No, no; pony cant have
any more now" and Topscy looked quite
sad for minute, and then went back to
finish her dinner of grass.
One day pile OF dry leaves near the
stable took fire from lighted match
which careless person had thrown on
them. The stable was soon filled with
smoke and, while Minnie's papa ran with
pals of water to put the fire out, Minnie
cried bitterly, saying, ooh, my dear Top
sey! She'll be burned! She'll be burned =
The little girl would not be still until
her papa led Topsey out Of the stable and
tied her to tree in the yard, a long way
off from the fire and it was not until the
fire was all out, and the smoke had cleared
away, that Minnie was contented to have
her pet taken back to the STALL

White Jasmine.

White jasmine stretches far and wide,
Along the gray wallis southern side
Its graceful branches wreathe;
And winds of Summer sweet ano low,
Among its vcrdure and its snow,
Their tender music breathe.
The garden beds that once were gay
And fragrant all the Summer day,
Are empty and forlorr;
The hungry bees afar have flown,
The gravel walks are weed o'grown,
The trellis-rose is torn.
Within the house each empty room
Is shut in silent, rayless gloom,
With cherries hearthstone cold;
No pictures smile upon the wall,
No single trace is left Of all
We cherished so of old.
But in the southern sunshine bright,
And by the jasmine, clad in white,
A Youthful maiden stands,
With lips that speak of sad unrest;
A bunch of daisies on her breast,
And jasmine in her hands.
With farewell looks of aching love,
Her brown ewes wander round, above,
It is sacred spot;
The home Of childish grief and lnirth,
The home whence dearest dead went fort
To share earth's common lot.
All, maiden! as the jasmine snow
Doth vanish so the years that go
Will take this grief away;
Will give thee older woes as sure,
As strong, and deep-if not SO pure
AS this of thine today.
Yet let the daisies on thv breast,
Teach thee that life's securest rest,
In humble paths doth lie:
And let the jasmine in thine hand,
Whisper of tairer blossoms famed
BY sweetest airs on high.
Fear not to muse when far away,
How Summer sunshine gilds each day
These lonely garden bowers;.
How swcetly yet the thrushes call,
How climb about the gray old well,
Thine own loved jasmine flowers.
So may the memory of this home,
Thy first and dearest ever come
With healing strength to thee;
To mind thee by it's vanished grace,
or one prepared abiding place,
From sound of farewell free!

International expositions Of science,
art and invention have of late years been
frequent and popular. They are of re.
cent origin, comparatively speaking, and
an examination of their. statistic, 10 ia-
teresting. A glance at the attsrdance of
visitors TO some Of the leading exposi-
tions elbows their comparative popularity.
The lrst oxpoaition of this kind was in
England 10 1851, which was open I4l
days, and was visited by 6,0S9, 1856 per-
sons, or an average Of 1881 per day.
The Paris exposition of 1867 was omen
2lo days with IN aggregate attendance
of 100000, or an average of 4s.5e8
vinitors per day. The average attend.
ancs ct the Vienna exposition was leas
than either of the foregoing, while tha.
at u.e Philadelphia Centennial was
grea er. The Centennial was open 100
days, -. had an aggregate attendance
Of 9,S57, ,625 visitors, or an average of
$500 per day. The attendance at the
present Paris exposition will probably
be greater than that of any previous ex.
position of the kind.

Augusta, Greenwood and Knoxville.

The the Directors Of the Augusta,
Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad held
O meeting yesterday morning at IL o'clock
for the purpose of opening and consider
ing the bids to grade the road from Au-
gusta to Walton's and to build bridge
across the canal at Warren's Spring. A
committee was appointed to open and
investigate the sealed proposals, and the
board adjourned until p. m. Upon re-
ceiying the report of the committee the
board awarded the contract to VIM. D.
Grant, of Atlanta. The work is to be
commenced within thirty days, and to
be completed by the 1st of April next.
Capt. Grant says he will probably begin
during the next fifteen days.
It will be seen from this that the road
is an assured fact. The Greenwood peo-
pie will have their part of tho line fin
ished to the river by the time that this
end is completed, so that everything will
be in readiness to lay the iron, and we
may, therefore, expect to see trains run
ming between Augusta and Greenwood
before the expiration of two years from
the present time. The road will be q
great benefit to this city, adding, as it
will, largely to its receipts Of cotton and
other produce. 1t will open up large
section Of fertile. country, and bring
hither great deal of produce that now
goes to other places.
The gentlemen who have charge of the
enterprise, both in this city and South
Carolina, have been unremitting in their
efforts to get the road built, and they are
now about to meet with success. The

His fsaatiuienoy, President Hayes, ap-
pointed MoLin, Of the Florida Return
ing Board, Judge of the United States
Court for New Mexico, and afterwards
Chief Justice of that territory, but the
Senate did not agree with him upon the
subject, and declined to confirm the ap.
pointment, and hence McLin did not
get the Office. Mr.. Hayes, therefore,
gave Meiin very great reward for his
assistance in stealing the Presidential
vote Of Florida, ana paid very high
tribute to hia appreciation OF his abilities
and purity ~ by appointing him to e
judicial Office. Now that he has cen.
feased to the crime he committed In con-
necticn with the vote of Florida, Mr.
Hayes and his friends pretend to believe
him to be q great rascal, and utterly
unworthy of belief. Tic country, how
ever, does not enjoy the pleasure of en-.
tertaining such convenient opinions, and
hence the people believe that Mr. Hayes
is unworthy of the high Office he has
usurped, because he has attempted to
place men in high and sacred offices,
who he now declares unworthy of belief
on oath. There is no doubt that Mr..
Hayes Is q gigantic fraud, and that he is
fally aware of the fact himself, but has
hoped by dupiicity to conceal it from the
people OF the nation.

A,Isttle Plain Talk.

The ChaFleston papers and the Colum-
bia lRee.:..sy are censnred by the Edge
field Advertiser, the Abbeville Medium,
and tho anderson inieiiigeaccr for their
failure to protest against certain general
statements contained in q letter written
from South Carolina, by Mr.. Clarke, OF
the Springfield Republican,. This letter
was published in fhe Msrcs and Courier.
A correspondent of the Edgefeld Ad-
vertisc1- regards the views of Mr.. Clarke
as the views of Charleston, and pitches
vigorously into Charleston, denouncing
conservatism that put Chamberlain in
the highest seat of the synagogue, and
the finest carriage to ride III, whenever
he appeared in that celestial city. A
conservatism that would have put one of
their wealth and intelligence on the Rad.
ical ticket. A conservatism that allowed
young men to be shot down in their
streets without assistance. A conserva-
tism that threatens even yet to defeat
Democratic measures in the f4agialat.,.e
by ,usion with the dead dogs, who
wonld never revive but for the hope held
out to them in the low-country. And
even the Anderson Iitelligeacer says !:
The letter was written from Charleston,
and this feature may account for the sec.
tional complexion which it assumes, and
the actual ignorance which its writer
displays in speaking of the ignorance
and poverty OF the State lying In the up.

wrong, IS Il unfortunately. tho practice

very Ignorance Of the wishes and feel

they charge upon the representatives of
