IILLMAN UNDER THE PALMETTO. -
From the Washington correspondence
of the Charleston Nctrs and Courier we
copy the following. Tillmnn under the
palmetto is an omen of good:
South Carolina has been congratulated
upon having full Democratic reprcsen-
tation in the House. The three new
members iii with grace aud dignity their
respective chairs. A good joke is told
upon the representative from the fifth
district in his selection of his seat. The
ceiling of the hall is fiat and divided into
panels of stained glass, in the centre of
each of which is the escutcheon Of some
one of the States. OF course the palmetto
is conspicuous in one of them. This
dignified member was accosted by n
friend, who had observed him audibly
soliloquizing To himself, with the inqui-
ry, "what are you thinking about 2" With
measured words he replied. 81 was just
looking at the palmetto tree (pointing TO
the cciling) and wishing might draw n
seat Immediately under it," Presently
his name was drawn, and two seats directly
under the coat Of arms of South Carroll
ma were vacant. Our friend could not
decide which was most perpendcularly
under the palmetto, and while he was
hesitating which chair to choose the 9th
er names were drawn, and he had to
scramble to get either OF his cherished
seats. He got it, however, and no
doubt the palmetto tree will inspire,
rather than shadow, some of his rosplen-
dent efforts before the expiration of the
Forty-sixth Congress.

Burned to Death in a Carriage.

An appalling and unusual accident has
occurred near Wilmington, Del. A wo-
man was burned to death in circum-
stances, to which, except in the case of a
railway casualty some years ago, we
think of no parallel. Mrs. Honora Lacy,
whose home was in Chester county, in
Pennsylvania, had been shopping in Will
mington, and in the evening started to
drive home. Among other things she
had bought quantity of raw cotton and
other inflammable materials, and these
were thrown in the bottom of the car
riage in which she rode. By somemeans,
at time when Mrs. Lacy had gone some
distance upon her homeward way, the
articles on the floor of the vehicle caught
fire. Probably there were friction
matches there and tile movement of her
feet ignited them. Before the unfortu-
nate woman perceived the flames they
had reached her skirts and leaped in
menacing coils all around her person.
At this dreadful juncture Mrs. Lacy's
horse took fright and ran off at full
speed, driving the blaze into increased
fury as he went The inside cloths, cur
tains and woodwork of the carriage were
swiftly attacked bv the flames, and it
UOlc dlOuS WhllC ItS WlOGShCu lllIdOO
was literally roasting to death within.
A colored man stopped the frightened
horse at last, but not until he had gal
loped long distance or until all chance
of Mrs. Lacy's surviving her horrible
experience had passed away. Her clothes
were still burning when the animal was
checked, and she fell down by the road
side in inexpressible agonies, burned, it
is said, to crisp from head to foot. To
add, if such thing could be, to the hor-
Tor of the situation the afflicted victim
lived for ten hours afterward and was
conscious up to the moment of her death,
which only mercifully released her the
next morning. There is an accumula-
tion of horror in scene like this which
has been indeed imagined by writers Of
fiction, but which in actual life has
happily seldom been realized. .-Net0 York

TIE EYES HE USED.
An Obstinate Captain.

During q strong south wind the French
brig Ponthieu went ashore near Penz-
ance, England. The workers of the
rocket apparatus succeeded in throwing
a line over her, but the crew being ig-
norant of how to work the apparatus
fastened the line on board instead OF
hauling it in. One OF the crew, however,
hauled himself ashore by the line. The
Penzance lifeboat was then got out, but
on her arrival alongside the crew, al
though in imminent peril, took no notice,
the captain apparently forbidding them
to leave or even throw a line to the life
boat. Wind and sea rapidly increasing
and the vessel being full in the breakers
it was seen that it must soon break up.
In vain the lifeboat's crew entreated;
they were warned off and had to leave;
but seeing the loss of life that must en-
sue the lifeboat's coxswain determined
to return, and this time was so far sue
cessful that five of the crew jumped off
and were picked up. The captain still
remained obstinate, land at length coast
quardsman named Gould volunteed for
the perious duty of going out to the
wreck along the rocket-line, taking with
him a letter from the French Consul,
urging the captain to leave In the
presence of hundreds of intensely ex-
cited spectators, Gould steadily made
his way, being often under the water for
several seconds and imminently in dan
ger of being washed off The captain
was watching him from the bridge, but
when under the bows would lend no aid,
and, the furious sea breaking over him,
Gould was washed away, and it was
feared he must perish. Happily, how
ever, he regained the rope, and more
dead than alive was washed and dragged
ashore. Meanwhile the vessel was fast
breaking up, the masts fell over the side,
the stern, on which the captain was
standing, was broken off, and it was
supposed he had sunk, but presently he
was seen among the wreckage and
mounted to the foreyard, the sail of
which somewhat sheltered him. The
coastguard fired two more rockets, and
one line falling close to the captain he
seized it, but even then seemed irreso-
lutte to save himself or perish with the
ship. After quarter of an hour, how
ever, the love of life constrained him 10
fasten the rope around him and he was
dragged ashore. Within an hour moth
ing was to be seen of the vessel but a
few floating spars. The cheers which
greeted the captains rescue were by. no
means so hearty as those which had
welcomed the return of Gould, whose
life had been risked in attempting te
ave him,

Eaahinm Notes.

Long mitts of pale ecru tint are fash
ionably worn with black and tinted
white, as we'll as with eeru costumes.
Charming summer toilets are of white
barege, trimmed with quantities ofinely
plated Breton lace and white satin
bows.
Some new waists are not only laced at
the back, but have vests of lace set in
front, over which the waist seems laced
with flat galloon.
New linen collars retain the rolled
over English points in front, but are
straight behind instead of flaring out
ward. Those made of single linen with
half-incb hem stitched on are pleasant
est for summer wear.
Very pretty summer bonnets have soft
crowns and shirred brims of white India
muslin in the cottage shape. The crown
is covered with bronze beads, worked
upon black net, and the brim with a
fringe of cherries, shaded from black to
red. The strings consist of lappets of
Breton lace.
Instead of straight scarfs of black lace
to wear around the neck in the street,
there are small fichus of black net edged

front. These are also worn in the house,
and ladies who find it becoming add a
standing frill of black lace for the neck,
and do not use white at all. The fancy
seems confined to black or white fol
trimming the neck; almost the only col
ored neckties sold are those of polka
dotted satin, to wear with very plain
costumes.
Many ladies. now dress their hair in
fiat bandeaus, Slightly waved over the
forehead and temples, and in the back il

is generally covered with "cache

Praise Of Little Women.

Praise Of Little Women.
To praise the little women Love besought me
in my musing;
To tell their noble qualities is quite beyond re-
fusing;
So I'll praise the little women, and you'll find
the thing amusing;
They are. 1 know, as cold as snow, whilst
flames around difusing. fs.t..#
In a little precious stone what splendor meets
the eyes ......
In little lump OF sugar how much sweetness
lies
So in little woman love grows and mul6plies
You recollect the proverb says-A word unto
the wise.
A peppercorn is very small, but seasons every
dinner
More than all other condiments, although It's
sprinkled thinner.
Just so a little woman is, if Love will let you
win her
There's not Joy in all the world you will not
find within her.
And as within the little rose you find the rich
est dyes,
And in little grain of gold much price and
value lies,
As from little balsam much odor doth arise,
So in little woman there's taste of Paradise
Even as a little ruby its secret worth betrays,
Color, and price, and virtue, in the clearness
of its rays,
Just so little woman much excellence dis
plays,
Beauty, and grace and love, and fidelity al
ways.
The skylark and the nightingale, though small
and light of wing,
Yet warble sweeter in the grove than all the
birds that sing;
And so a little woman, though a very little
thing,
Is sweeter far than sugar, and flowers that
bloom in spring.
There's nought can be compared to her through
out the wide creation;
She is Paradise on earth-our greatest con-
ISOLATION;
So cheerful, gay and happy; so free from all
veXation;
In fine, she's better in the proof than in antici-
patton.
If as her size increases are woman's charms
decreased,
Then surely it is good to be from all the great
released.
Now, OF two evils, choose the less, said a wise
man of the East;
BY consequence, of woman-kind be sure to
choose the least.

A Diamond Eve.

A story comes to us from Brussels by
way of Australia and the Melbourne
argus, apropos of lady with dia-
mond eye, which, having lost her nat
ural eye. she wore instead of glass one.
The truly brilliant orb sparkled so
brightly and was so suggestive of riches
that a Partisan adventurer married the
lady on sight, took her to the gay city
with him, and there, having squandered
all her property, he one night decamped,
carrying off her diamond eye, which she
used to keep in glass of water by the
bedside. The deserted wife is now
suing the pawnbroker who advanced
money on it to her husband for the re-
covery of the jewel.
