The meeting of New York merchants
which was called for next week to to take
action lookinsto the protection Of the cem.
merce Of that city has been changed to Fri.
day evening next. This change Of time ia
in difference to the wishes Of many mem
'bers OF the Chamber of Commerce, who
thought that if anything is to be done, the
sooner the better. 1t is part of the pro.
gramme to petition the Legislature to abol.
mvny ofthe existing port charges, against
which the shipping merchants have been
demonstrating in vain. They will also ask
for the privilege Of laying down tracks for
freighting purposes on the cross streets, 80
as to connect the two rivers with dummy
engines, and thus get rid Of the expensive
and slow carriage system of transferring
wholesale merchandise. - =.

NoBoDv counts up the people that die
out Of parties who sit down seven at table
or eleven, or twelve, or nineteen, but if
any one should do it, in any given year
the chances are that quite strong case
could be made out for any or all Of these
figures as connected with the death rates.
1t is only when thirteen people find them
selves together at meal that the old super
stition is mentioned, and then, if the year
goes over without any of the party Drop
ping out Of life. nobody think. to mention
that at the close. 1t is quite certain that
people are not protected against disease or
accident by the circumstance that twelve
knives and forks are On duty around them,
while they cut up their own meat and bread;
fit were so, indeed, then all well-disposed
neighbors might club together to take their
meals in the assorted numbers that defy
the doctor and the aposhecary. But if
cannot we'll be any ife-insurance upon
thirteen people that will put them for a
twelvemonth into charmed existence, let
them overhead, over-work, over-eat them
selves with impunity, kindle fires with pc
troleum, or 90 without fire and food, it l.
equally evident that neither can there be
any safety in five, or in ten, or in fifteen
L the count were kept against any given
number, it would not be long before it
would fall into very bad repute, aud might
be made answerable not alone for people
dying, but for robbing a bank or forging
election returns. There is nothing at once
50 valuable, and 20 open tc abuse, as the
handling Of statistics. and it is wonder
that no prophet has risen up to designate
in what choice numbers rogues, defraudins
cashiers, assassins, and other death-dealing
gently sit down to table.

papers. They are supplied by the news
paper men with the very conversation they
retail. The conclusions they suppose they
have reached, and for which they are ready
to make sacrifice, are those worked out
in other minds, and were they deprived
for one week Of every copy Of newspaper
they would begin to learn from the yacan.
cy within vhen,e flowed the source of their
Inspiration. Parliament is supposed to be
the assembled wisdom of the nation, but if
we compare what is said in Parliament
with what 10 eaid in the press we find that
there Is less nonsense circulated in the lat-
ter, and fewer mistakes made that, on the
whole, the journalist more than holds his
own with the legislator. This is fair
Icomparison, for lin be daily press the jour
.nalist had even less time for consideration
than the speaker. Indeed the former often
has, TO write off-hand on a subject the
member has been months preparing"
These remarks apply to America as well
as England. In one, as in the other, the
press is the leader and guide Of public
opinion and Of political discussion which
Is essenti Il to free state. At the present
day the Independent press of the United
States exerts more influence upon political
thorght, morals, science, art, and, we might
almost add, religion, than all other agen-
cies put together. Correspondents Of news
paper have shown to greater advantage in
the late war in the East than good many |
and have shown quite as much |
and courage in obtaining in
formation as others have in fighting bat
les. Stanley, who has been the represen-
ative in Africa of the New York Herald

'rof Keriort, Of the University Of Berlin,
Is having achieved "the greatest feat in
geographical discovery ever accomplished

hat the aggregate intelligence of the Brit
sh Parliament is far Jess than that of the
British Press than it is that the aggregate
Intelligence Of Congress is far below that

The Anril number of tn. Eclectic 1tuqasine

The April number of the Eclectic hagasine
is remarkable, both for the high average ex-
celence of its contents and for the number
of special papers which separately challenge
attention. There are no less than sixteen
articles, besides the four editorial depart
ments; and every taste will find something
to crafty it. "The March of an English
Generation through Life" is highly inter.
esting and profoundly suggestive resume of
English vital statistics; 1.-THE New Star
which Faded into Star. Mist" is one of Mr..
Proctors always instructive studies in pop
ular astronomy; and Prof. Goldwin Smiths
paper on THE Proposed Substitutes for Re
ligion" deals with subject Of inexhaustlble
interest. Apropos of the war, there are two
notably good descriptive papers-one enti,,
tied lover the Balkans with General
Gourko,' and the other, "Constantinople,
by James Bryce. The latter has already
become famous in England. Other note
worthy articles are, the beginning of q series
by Taine on France before the Outbreak OF
the Revolution timely biographical
sketch Of Count Cavour;" Professor
Huxley on the Degeneracy of Modern Opin-
ion;" Keats Love-Letters !" and thrill
ing narrative of "a Ride for Life" a

WIND AND , FIRE.

Last Sunday was the most boisterous day
that yre have experienced this year. The
wind eame f I'm the northwest, blowing al
most q perfec hurricane until late hour at
night. The day previous was its complete
antipode, mild and bland, so that numbers
eof persons throughout this and upper
counties had been engaged in burning off
brush, sedge fields and log piles, and the
Wind OF Sunday came upon them so sud-
denly md SO fiercely that it picked up the
smoclderipg embers and scattered them
broadcast over the adjacent woods, setting
FIRE In numerous places to the leaves and
brush, Jwhichwere as dry as finder. These
flames spread rapidly, and burned furiously,
causing great CONSERVATION, danger and
anxiety. An immense amount of forest
land dSwas burnt over, and thousands OF
panels Of fencing destroyed. Several hous-
Is were threaaened 10y the devouring ele-
rnent, and only saved by the most deter
mined and persistent efforts. Up to this
time we have heard Of no dwelling house
nor private building which has been de-
stroyed, but New Prospect Church, FIVE or
six miles west of this place was laid in
ashes, even the grave yard fencing being
destroyed. The citizens Of the surrounding
country were many of them off at church,
and the few who were at home found it all
they could possibly do to save their own
dwellings. The widest rumors prevailed
on Sunday. ALI portions Of the County,
however, have been heard from except the
saluda uide, from which conflicting and
uncertain rumors are still received.

nral,E OF COZ. B. s. H1Il.

We regret to announce the death of Col.
Richard 8. Hill, which occurred at his resi-
dsneesin this town ON last Sunday after q
long and painful illness. Bis death, though
long looked. for, brings sorrow and grief to
many households in Anderson County.
Col Hill was genial gentlemen, affable
disposition and pleasant manners, and gath
cred around him many friends wherever he
went. he was born on the 10th of Decem-
Der, 1922, near rAndersonville in this County.
: In early life his father removed to near
Gratis FerrF, where he remained until his
Z first nnYrlnHs, when he removed to Monte
video, Hart County, Ga, and lived there
until after the late war, when he removed
I'd ndeEsoE, 8. c., where he has since re-
sided. He received his principal education
in the town of Anderson from the late Wes-
Ley Leyerett. Among his classmates and
students were Ez, Governor Brown Of Geor-
gia and tho late Hon. James L. Orr. He
was member of the Georgia Convention,
and advocated the ordinance of secession.
At Attbecommencement of the war he was ap-
pointed aid-de-camp to the Governor, and
rendered valuable services to Gov. Brown
IN the organization of the militia of the
State. He entered the active service in op-
posing Gen. Sherman's march through the
State and was engaged in many battles.
He became o member of the Methodist
Church in early live and continued so until
h!sdcafh.
], The funeral services were performed BY
Reys. n. f. chrietzberg and D. E. Frerson
at Rtsberss' Church on Monday morning,
afer which the solemn burial service of the
Masonic fraternity was performed, and the
sremcils Of the deceased inferred in that
Church yard. which contains the tombs of
alargs number Of his family who have died
beSo'e him.
