Gov. HAMProN's CoSDIrIoN-Dr. Kinloch,
an eminent physician of Charleston, SC, visited
Governor Hampton at Columbia on Sunday
last and furnishes the following exact statement
othis CONDITION at that time: Two days since
Governor Hsmpton WAS unexpectedly seized
with chills, followed by some fever, and seemed
depressed in spirits, There Was sn apprehen.
sion on the part of his attending surgeons that
blco1 poisoning had ensued, aud the question: OF
amputslion 0: the limb was naturally consider.
ed. DR.. Kinlocb, from Charleston, and Lr.
Canpbsl}, from Angus were summoned to see
him III consultation. After a very careful ex-
animation snd consideration of all the sy mptoms
the consultation thought that blood poisoning
was improbable, and regarded the general con-
dltlon rs brought about rather from local irr;ta.
noD, With tho retention of purulent MISTER ia the
deeper part OF the wound. 1t was at once de-
clded that amputstion Ras not now indicated
under any view Of the case. Measures were ia
sttuted 10 relieve the local condition, and tho
determination to adhere to the efforts to save the
limb were unanimously agreed upon. at pre-
sent the Governors general condition is not SO.
rlous, but it is By no means certsin that amputa.

Minnie's father has black mare called
Topsev. She is very KIND and gentle
Sometimes Minnie's father ]eals Tonsa1
out OF her stall, fastens her rims

Minnie pats the horses neck with he1
little hand, and says, 500 along, Topsey. -
Iopsey walks round in circle as ia,
as the length of the rope she is fastened
with will allow, and when Minnie saws
"Whoa!" she stops; but, at the first pat of
Mlnnle's hand, she starts off again. Min.
ME calls this playing circus.
Topsey is fond of apples and if anv 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
II she meant to say EFF YOU please, I
would like that apple very much"
Mlnnle'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,
VINO was III the house, opened the door,
ana held out an apple. T0psey saw it,
ana walked up 70 the piazza and would
nave come into the house if Minnie had
not closed the door quickly.
She opened the window, and handed
Iopsey 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, lis this
where you keep your apples? would
like another" Minnie patteu Topsey's
nose, and said, "No, no; pony can't 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, nv dear Ton
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 wav
OFT from the fire; and it was not until the
lire was all out, and the smoke had cleared
away, that Minnie was contented to have
her pet taken back to the stall.
