A Calcutta paper says it mas rarely
ever seen anything in manufactures in
that city SO worthy of notice as state
carriage just built for his highncss,
and Maharajah of Jheed. 1t is one Of
the most remarkable outcomrs of the
blending OF the skill, workmanship, and
solid durability of Western productions
with the ornate and heavy magni6cence
Of Oriental taste. 1t may be described
as state phaeton, with coach box and
hind rumble all fitted with hoods. The
body is Of graceful design and very
light and elegant in appearance, but the
pecularity is tha. the whole of the pan.
elings, holdings, iron works, springs,
wheels, and pole are covered with mas
sive silver plates while the splashbOard
and the wings arc literally solid plates
Of tho precious metal. the whole enrich-
ed with leaves Of lotus flowers and Pc
pul leaves, also of silver richly chased
and heavily gilt, while on the center Of
tue panels, also aolazc WIFE Solo, arc
the armorial bearings of the Mahara-
jah. The interior is fitted up in the
most luxurious manner with cushions
and hangings of rich blue ta5ouret,
edged with broad rich velvet lace, heav-
lily embroidered with puro gold. The
lamps, four in number, are Of solid sill
YER. richly chased and gilt, and bear his
Highness' arms upon the glass. The
carriage has been ingeniously designed
with a double under frame, so that,
when the Mabarajah may fancy to han
die the ribbons himself, the coach box
can be removed and the wheels brought
much closer together. There is over
$4,000 taluhs weight of pure silver OH
the carriage.

Our Next Governor.

Many of cur exchanges have been
expressing their views as to who shall
be the next nominee for Governor, and
all agree upon Gov. Hampton. In this
preference we concur, bit not upon the
grounds generally advanced. We do not
believe that Hampton is necessity to
the party, for there are dozen distln-
guished sons of Carolina, any one of
whom we believe the nomination from
the Democracy would elevate to the
head of our State Government Neither
are VIC willing to concede tina: Governor
Hampton has been infalliblc, for on
some meaoures his position has appeared
TO US unfortunate; but we believe he has
made as few mistakes as any man could
have done under the trying circum<tan-
ccs through which he has brought the
State. We place our advocacy of re-
nomination upon the ground that by his
courage, judgment and fidelity ic has
shown himself as nearly equal to every
emergency which can arise as any man
in the State. He has been in office
two years. and his experience will be
Of material assistance to him in the fu-
,ure. Our people can never forget the
magnificent canvass which he led to the
illustrious victory of 1876. and the
manly position assumed by him in de-
fence Of the peoples rights at its close.
For hi, prudence. frnncss and infu-
cnco the people Ct the whole Union are
indebted to him.
In the midst Of one Of the greatest
revolutions he preserved the peace and
order of his State, when single i'm
prudent speech on his part would have
spread destruction of life and probably
have involved the United States in a
civil war, whose consequences would
have been most terrible. For days and
weeks he was surrounded by a lnrong
of citizens in patient of their wrongs who
urged that he would allow them to put
the lawful government Of the State into his
possession by force. He restrained
them, but at the same time assumed the
position which caused our enemies to
quake and fear, for he announced in
emphatic tones the fact that he had
been elected Governor Of the State, and
that he would have tho office, or the
people should have military governor
His course at this time rose to the full
measure Of heroism, and has become the
grandest chapter in the history of our
generation. The people Of this State
will never forget the services Of Gov.
Hampton, and differences upon minor
questions will not prevent them from
calling his services into requ:sltlon in
the coming canvass as the standard
bearer of the Democracy. lie has re-
duced taxation, he has been jnst to all,
and has been faithful to his public
trusts. Therefore, he deserves rc-elec-
tion, and when our people see and hear
him on next Wednesday they may rest
assured that they have seen not only the
present Governor, but the next ALSO

The Man Who Never Smiles.

Governor Rice is asked to pardon one
O'Donnell, of Millbury, from Charles
town, and gentleman who recently
visited the State Prison thus tells his
story: "Gcntlcmen," sal | the Warden,
Il want to bring before you one Of the
most remarkable cases that we have in
the prison. We call him the man who
never Smiles and | wish before he
comes in to tell you his story. He
seems to be man Of more than ordinary
ability, one Of the better class Of SUBJ
stantial, frugal Irish citizens, who owned
a small place in one Of our manufacture

family of grown up sons and daughters.

Portable circumstances. The old man
had fine garden on which he bestowed
his leisure hours, in a Part of which
was Gne lot of cabbage. IL seems that
the boys in the ncighborhood had a
habit of trespassing on the old mans
garden, until he had determined on
getting rid of them by firing his gun to
frighten them away. One night, hear
ing some one in his garden, he took
down his gun, and, getting behind the
hedge fired into the garden, as he claims
without aim or seeing any one TO aim at.
But the report of the gun alarmed the
neighbors. who on rushing into the gar
den. found the lileless body of young
girl shot through the heart. The old
man, when told what lie had done. was
struck dumb. He was arrested and sen.
fenced to imprisonment for life. He
has now been here for ten years, and
his face has become as marble, there is
no hope nothing but the sad rewem-
brancc of that dreadful night. In Ire-
land they have superstition among The
young girls that whoever on Hallowe'e en-
shall place cabbage over the door will
marry the first young man that enters
the door afterwards. And this was
proved, was the GRAND of the young girl
in the old mans garden. But instead
Of a Wedding she found a grave

The Electric Light.

A plumber of interesting experiments
have been recently carried out at Metz
by a committee of engineers and other
officers appointed to investigate the
prac,icability Of employing electric light
during the siege operations, and to sug-
gest any notifications which it may
seem expedirnt to introduce in the ap-
paratus at present used. According to
the Pail Mall Gazette, on the night OF
October 10Th. Forts Frederick Charles
and Alvensleben were illuminated by
throwing the electric light upon them,
when it was found that at distance Of
from two to three kilometres not only
buildings but also individual men could
be plainly made out. On the night OF
October 9th the electric apparatus
was arranged on the exercising ground
outside the Chambcre gate, aud the
light directed upon a row of targets.
Fire was then oucne] against these
latter by u squad of rihemcn, and the
practice made WAS nearly as good as
that recorded on ordinary occasions
when firing by day-a result which was
considered exceedingly satisfactory, as
Il thick mist prevailed at the time, and
materially intcrfrrcd with the action Of
the light. Altogether, the committee
concluded that the electric light may in
future be employed with advantage not
only in siege operations, but also dur
Ing outpost duty aud engagements at
night.

Story of q Brave Turk.

know what manner of men were those
who fought round Osman Ptsha, they
can gain an idea of them from an anec>
dote that my friend told ME. \ very
stccp rock was to be stormed. 1t rose
to the height of 250 feet, and was crown.
ed by Russian batteries. A Turkish
colonel, desirous to set an example to
his men, scrambled up first by the help
of occasional projections in the rock,
and roots and weeds. When he reached
the top, he found himself entirely alone.
The Russian soldiers looked at him in
amazcment. Their guns were pointed
at his breast. when their general gave
the order not to fire, hastened up to the
Turkish colonel and called out to him,
Colonel, begone at once; you see you
are alone The brave man said moth
ing. He stood still a moment, gazing
at his enemies; then turned and went
back safely as he came. All the Rus
sian soldiers began to clap their hands
and cheer him."

Obedience.

There is nothing more beautiful to be-
hold in these degenerate days than a
child's dutiful obedience to its parents.
Besides, the rarity Of tae occurrence
gives it the charm Of a novelty. An
instance of filial consideration comes
from Quebec, and it is hoped it will
serve as bright example to other sons
throughout the land. A son in tho Vi
cinity of that ancient place will not even
90 on a visit to the city without his la
theirs permission. The most trivial re-
quest Of the parent are implicitly obeyed,
and the boy does nothing without first
consulting his father. The old mans
name is Paul Leonard and he is 107
years old. The youngster is eighty Eve.

At anchor round her lay
And like single silver thread
