Theirs having died while the Republic was
menaced with extinction, it was proper that
his memory should be sOlemnly COMMUNICATED
when popular liberty had triumphed This
thought animated the French people In
the grand manifestation on the anniversary
Of his death, and rendered the respectful
silence in the streets and the solemn service
at Notre Dame at once tribute to the first
President, to his widows devotion. and to
Republican principles. In describing the de-
monstration our Paris letter gives an inter
esting glimpse at the domestic life OF the late
President, which shows that at home he in
spired devotion as tender as that which he
afterward merited from the people.
The news from the Southwest is more
favorable. There have been light frOsts In
southern Illinois, Tennessee and Mississippi
and the weather is not only cooler but clearer
There is no elimination in the number of cases
of yellow fever but the disease seems to be
less malignant and much more manageable.
In New-0rleans the outlook is more encOurag-
ing than it has been. There has been reduc-
ton in the mortality, the death-lst for two days
containing 1873 names. In Memphis the num-
Der of deaths during the same period
has been 21O, and the sufferings of all
classes are heartrending. In the remain
ing twelve cities and towns where the
plague has made its worst ravages
the prospect is brighter. From Grenada we
have the glad tidings that the fever is abat-
ing, and everywhere the physicians and nurses
are recovering their self-pOssessiOn, and learn
ing how to fight the dread disease. Memphis
is still seeing its darkest days, but elsewhere
the worst seems to be over

JANE SMITH AND HER CHILDREN, AND
THE FLIGHT AND THE FANCY.

JANE SMITH AND HER CHILDREN, AND
THE FLIGHT AND THE FANCY.
Our Frank went from proud home in
Indiana. There lived Thomas Williams,
and for long years he had forgotten Jane
Smith, and the child of his dead broth
er. But we will go back a few years,
and look in upon her and her adopted
children. There were two of them, a
boy and girl. The boy was Francis
Marion Williams, the orphan boy that
Thomas Williams had desired to adopt,
and the girl was Mona Liza Smith, the
orphan child of a very distant relative.
The boy was very handsome, with a
wealth of jetty crrls, large, liquid, black
eyes, and a firm, sweet mouth. But the
girl, with her dark, blue eyes, jetty lash.
es, and fair, clear complexion, and red
brown curls, was very beautiful; but her
fiery temper was terror even to Jane
Smith, with her sublime aud beautiful
religious faith. Jane Smith had suffi..
cient amount of means at her command
to keep herself and children in good
style, and Mona Liza was an heiress, and
the boy had small ftrtune in the hands
of guardian, and Jane devoted her time
entirely to these two adopted children.
Her whole life was q constant prayer for
their welfare. They lived in good
house, and servants went and came at
James bidding. She saw these two chill
dren playing quietly under shade-tree,
in the yard, one beautiful summer day,
and thinking all was peace and love, she
sat down 10 write letter. Frank was

A QUESTION OF SUPREME IAPoR-
TANcE.-There can be No question in
this country surprising IN magnitude
that which is now before the American
people for their decision. That question
is: Shall we continue to have Chief
Magistrate of our own choosing, as we
always have had from the foundation of
the government, or shall we submit to
the rule of President forced upon us
by fraud?
The issue has been made palmer than
ever by recent events. The confessions
of parties concerned in the perpetration
of the frauds leave no room for further
dispute about the facts. Frauds were
practiced which determined the result.
This is settled by the confessions beyond
peraGventure. So we are now brought
directly to the consideration of the main
point-shall an unelected President be
permitted to retain the Office FOR four
years? We cannot shirk the issue. 1t
must be met.
What does it involve? Itinvolves the
very existence of our government as es-
tablished by our Revolutionary fathers.
To give up the elective Executive is to
give up all and to consent to Mr.. Hayes
remaining in is to give up an elective
Executive.
We think the issue is pretty well un-
derstood, and it is not to be denied that
there are those who, understanding it
we'll, do not hesitate to take ground in
favor of giving up the elective Executive
as a matter of minor Importance. We
rejoice, however, in the faith that the
advocates of this anti-American doctrine
will prove but an inconsiderable minority
of those who address the public on the
subject. As the discussion progresses, it
will become more and more clear that it
concerns the most vital point in our whole
system of self-government. We have
confidence that the great mass of the
people will pass upon the question sub
mitted to them in such way as to pre-
serve the priceless privilege Of choosing
their own President. The path of duty
and of patriotism is so plain that false
teachers in Congress or in the press can
not lure the majority from it. They
know the question is one that nothing
could surpass in importance, and the
instinct of freedom is too strong in the
American heart to have it settled in any
way but in favor Of the preservation OF
the elective Chief Magistracy as it has
heretofore existed.-Ne,o Yors San.

Gen. Gillmore's Plan for Deepening the
Charleston Bar.
WASHINGTON, May 9, 1873.

WASHINGTON, May 9, 1878.
In compliance with Senator But
ler's resolution, a communication was
received to-day by the Senate, from the
Secretary of War, endorsing report of
Gen. Humphereys, chief of engineers,
submitting a project of Gen. Gilmore
for the permanent improvement of the
channel into Charleston harbor by means
of low jetties, with an estimate of the
probable cost; also report of the board
of engineers approving the project. Gen.
Humphreys says: ~ concur in the views
of the board that the channel over the
bar can be improved to a probable depth
of twenty-one feet at mean low water by
the use of jetties submerged in whole or
in part, and by mode of construction
very gradual in its progress, which will
admit of such modification in the length
and height of the jetties as experience
will dictate. / further concur that the
project adopted should, to the least pos.
sibfe degree, disturb the present regimen
of influx and effiux over the bar"
The estimated cost will vary, according
to the extent of the project which may
be adopted, from 81, 100000 to S3,00U,-
900. Gen. Gilmore recommends the
annual appropriation of five hundred
thousand dollars in four successive years,
which Gen. Humphreys approves.
Gen. Gillmore's report covers over
sixty pages, with plans and drawings of
his project, and is an able and interest
ing document. The report gives full
description of Charleston bar and the
various channels, previous surveys, va
riations, depths, widths and measure
ments Of the channels, also the material
composing the surface and below. 1t
saws that It is drift and wave bar. pro-
duced by the action of the waves and in
part by drift material carried along by
surface currents, and gives the results Of
borings and experiments. The plan is
to construct two jetties, one springing
from Morris Island and the other from
Sulliyan's Island converging towards
each other in such manner that their
outer ends on the crest of the bar shall
be half a mile apart. The outer ends of
the two ietties will rest respectively upon
the shoals lying to the northward and

being the middle channel of the north
group of three channels. The north
ietty, near the shore, is curved to aradius
of one and half miles; the outer half
is nearly straight line. The length of
this is 7,45O feet, direction southeast.
The south jetty is II $50 feet long. The
shore end is curved to radius of three
miles for about half its length. The
half next to the sea is nearly straight.
The object is to maintain the bar in its
present general location.
On motion of Senator Butler, the re-
port and accompanying papers were re-
ferred to the Senate committee on COM
merce and ordered to be printed.
President Tupper, of the Chamber of
Commerce, expresses much satisfaction
with the report and the progress made.
He is busily engaged with the commit
tees and departments.

Teachers County Conventions.

The school teachers of the various
counties of this State should at once &C
to work and organize county conven.
ton. Get all your teachers together fol
two days, and the benefit will be invalu-
able. An exchange Of opinions as to
methods of teaching, text books, disci.
pline and the thousand other questions
pertaining to the work of the teacher
would do much good in each county.
These conventions will greatly assist
our State Superintendent. He will be
able to see ell the teachers, and particu-
larly the country teachers, and impart to
them his own views and enthusiasm.
If three working teachers will get up
an informal meeting, and appoint a
place and time for the convention, and
then use the county paper freely in
writing up the convention, and publish
ing the order of business, it will be
success. These editors will do anything
to help the educational interests of the
State.
Should the teachers of any county
desire information as to details and
plans they can get it from any of the
Spartanburg teachers. They have held
these conventions for eight years, and
would not give them up for any con-
sideration. CHARLES PETTY.

FISH FOR SOUTH CAROLINA Through
the influence of Senator Butler-who
seems to be devoting much of his time
to the useful and profitable in Wash
ington-Prof. Baird has determined to
send several thousand shad for the streams
in South Carolina. II is probable that
the agent in charge will reach Columbis
within four or five days, and the fish
will likely be planted in the Savannah,
Broad and Catawba Rivers, and the
streams tributary to these in South Car
olina. The points are not yet selected,
and we would be glad to have immedi-
ate responses from different points, where
the railroads cross the streams above
named, whether there are any obstruc-
tions below them which would impede
the fish in their progress down the
country. This information is highly
desirable at once, as the young fish will
be brought in cans, and it will be impor-
tant to keep them as short time as pos
sible. Letters addressed to the editor of
the Mews and Courier, in regard to this
matter, will be placed in the hands of
the proper parties on arrival.-Ne,cs and

Rheumatism Cured by Fright.

John McGinty, a printer, who bees me
a confirmed tramp, was cured of Rheu-
natism in the following manner: he
was at work on a morning paper at
Rochester, N. Y, where he had severe
attack of infammatory rheumatism.
He is q devout Catholic, and, when MS
rheumatic difficulties made it impossible
for him to work at his trade, he took Up
his quarters at st. Mary's hospital, and
mas taken care of by the Sisters. Els
case seemed to be incurable, and here le
stopped for a long time, scarcely able TO
put his feet to the ground. Having 10
money, he was, however, set at work
doing light chores about the building.
In the second story is large rooI1,
known as the "dead room," where the
bodies of those who die in the institution
are placed, preparatory to burial. To
this apartment McGinty was sent ole
evening Just at dusk, to get cross.
He had been sent on similar erratd
many times before, and nothing worthy
of note had occurred; but this time he
hobbled, slowly and painfully, to tile
silent room, and, in the dim light, suc-
ceeded in finding the corpse all right,
placed, as usual, upon platform about
two feet high, with the hands folded
together across the breast, and holding
the cross, which McGinty reached OFT
and took, but accidentally dropped beside
the body.
STOPPING down low enough to pick
anything from the floor, was for him, az
that time very difficult and paiDftl
task, and while engaged in it, one of the
hands of the corpse, which had been
loorened by the removal of the cross, be-
gan slowly, of its own weight, to move
toward aim, and when it passed beyonl
the centre of gravity, came down, with
tremendous thump. upon the back Ct
poor rheumatic McGinty.
Now he was quite positive that thers
was not living soul In the room, except
himself, and to have a dead man striks
him severe blow would have startled II
considerably less superstitious man than
this tramp printer, who forgot his rheu'
matism, and went down thoss stairs OIL
the Jump, with his hair standing on end
he was nearly frihtened to death, bui
his rheumatism was gone, and from that
day to this he has been entirly free from
the disease.

fine, silky, black beard, wealth of jetty
curls, and liquid black eye. he look
ed Just as his father had looked twenty
years before, and resembled, in face and
form, so nearly his cousin Frank, that
Thomas Williams had said was the very
print of his dead brother, that they
might have easily deceived their best
friends. Yet neither of those young
men knew that tire other existed. Jane
Smith saw that Frank and Mona Liza
loved each other, not as brother and sis
ter, and she was we'll pleased. Every.
thing seemed to be just as she might
wish. Franks fortune, and Mona Liza's
would be united by their marriage, and
her estate need not now be divided, she
thought, and she was happy in such
thoughts. But, o, there were dark hours
coming, hours that tried mems souls,
hours that called for all the faith and
trust of woman. The civil war broke
out, and mel were turning the plow-
shares into swords, and the pruning
hooks into spears. Frank was Union
man in Virginia, and refused to fight
against the old flag, but he was taken
into the army. He watched his oppor-
tunity and deserted. Frank made good
his escape, and fed from home, and love,
and sought his uncle in Indiana.

OUTDoNE BY A BoY.-A young lad in
Boston, rather small for his years, works
in an Office as errand boy for four gentle
men who do business there. One day
the gentlemen were chatting him little
about being so small, and said to him:
"You never will amount to much;
you never can do much business; you
are too small"
The little fellow looked at them.
"Well," said he, Gas small as I am, 1
can do something, which none of you
large men can do"
'Ah what is that?" said they. J
"I don't know as 1 ought to tell you,"
he replied. But they were anxious to
know, and urged him to tell them what
he could do that none of them were able
to do.
"I can keep from swearingp said the
little fellow. There were some bushes
on four manly faces, and there seemed to
be very little anxiety for further informa-
ton on the point.

Hon. D. w. AIKEN.-Of this distin-
guished gentleman it may fruthfully be
said that no one in this State has devoted
himself with such untiring zeal and sig
nal ability to the best interests of the
farmer. Of him it may truthfully be
said that he has devoted his whole life
to the single purpose of advancing the
agricultural interest, without fee or re-
ward. True, be has a rich reward, not
in dollars and cents, but what is far bet
ter, in the hearts of the thousands for
whom he has been working.
1t is to him that ne owe the recent
visit of the vine growers from the North,
who have made a partial tour of the
State, and have returned prepared to
spread far and wide words of good cheer
to those who are looking for new homes
in the sunny South. No one can tell
what will be the value of this visit to the
Southern people. Col. Aiken is right
when he says that persons who have
lands to sell should meet new comers
with their very lowest rates, and not
make their coming an opportunity to
speculate upon them. Indeed, he is
generally right, and it will be well for us
all if we heed his adraonitions.-larl-

Boys NOTE This Don't forget to
take off your hat when you enter the
house. Gentlemen never keep their hats
on in the presence of ladies; and if you
always take yours off when mama and
the girls are by, you will not forget
yourself or be mortified when q guest or
stranger happens to be in the parlor.
Habit is stronger than any thing else,
and you will always find that the easiest
way too make sure of doing right on all
occasions, is to get in the habit of doing
right. Good manners can not be put on
at moments warning.

CHINESE CIVILIZATION Or AMERICAN

CHINESE CIVILIZATION Or AMERICAN
BARBARIsM.-A time when China is car
rying off almost the first honors in the
great prize show of civilization at Paris
seems to be very i'll chosen for the pre-
paration of bill taxing Chinese immi-
grants out of this country, reported from
Washington. Accounts from the Expo
sition agree in declaring that China's
display is the best she has ever made in
a worlds fair, and that her section, with
that of Japan, MAS the only one perfectly
ready for the opening. One correspon.'
dent regrets that the American depart
ment, which is badly behiudhand, did
not have little of that "cheap Chinese
labor" which put the Celestials on time
and made their quarters so bright and
attractive. China has received always a
cordial welcome from France. With
Japan she has an assignment of space at
the fair almost equal to that of the United
States. Thus courteously treated, China
has responded far more literally than she
did at Philadelphia. Such is the insult
able juncture taken by subcommittee
of the House to recommend fine of Sl0C
to be put on every representative Of that
ingenious, industrious and thrifty race
who shall come to this country hereafter.
Are the Chinese or the men who get up
such miserable, narrow-minded bills lack.
ing in civilization? Which are the truer
Christians in all the ethics of Christiani-
ty? The very day that this news was
published we had the report that Peru is
trying to coax 10000 Cinnamon into that
country to build railroads and work mines
and do other useful labor at which they
are such adopts. Peru knows what she
is about. 1t is left only for the boasted
intelligence of the American Congress
to entertain schemes brutally inhospita-

of the Constitution and of liberty, and
greatly injurious to our national pro-
gress.-N. Y Journal Of Commerce.
