present, and they assisted him from his car
rage They were all much affected at seeing
him again. He had pair of crutches but
he had not yet become accustomed to their
use and did not depend on them to any ex-
tent. One, characteristic remark which he
made after entering the office, was to ask
where was his Redmond stick. This was the
cane sent to him by Redmond, and which
some one had removed from the place where
he left it. He showed the effects of his suf'
ferings, of;eourse, but those who had seen
him recently say that the Improvement is
very evident. .,,.,s
As showing the affection of the people for
Governor Hampton in his severe afaiction,
the Columbia correspondent Of the Nescs and
Courier says: 1"a' sntin@
Ever since the day Of his unfortunate acci-
dent, Governor Hampton has been the con-
slant recipient of letters Of coincidence and
kind regard from friends and admirers, living
not only in this State, but in almost every
other State and Territory Of the Union. His
condition for long time precIuded all possi-
bility of his replying to or even acknowledge
ing any Of the favors so generously and SO
generally showered upon him and their num-
Der has increased meanwhile to such an ex-
tent as to render the task impossible to be ac-
complished by his own hand, without an out
lay Of time and strength, such as he is by no
means fitted even yet to devote to the grateful
task. Very many, indeed, have been ac-
knowledged, from time to time, by the neces-
sary aid of an amanuensis, but the number
yet remaining on hand and requiring atten.
tion, is SO hopelessly disproportioned to any
efforts the Governor can reasonably. be ex-
pected to make, that have been requested to
make this informal statement in general re-
cognition of the obligation imposed on him.

ceived by him has been carefully read and
preserved, and altogether make up such va

The Governor, it may be said, attaches per-
haps most Importance to the expressions of
good will and concern rendered him by his
colored correspondents, and holds in tenderest
regard the countless little epistles Of his little

Charlotte, has at last had pistol ball sent

South Carolina, and he will wait awhile before
he draws another razor, either in quest OF

The above item is going the rounds of the
North Carolina press. Pagan is not a stranger
in South Carolina but, to the contrary, was
standing on his native heath when slightly
wounded in Chester two weeks ago. He is
boss of barber shop in this place, and his
wound has not incapacitated him. from the

New Rendering Of an Old Song,

''What is home without a mother?''
says the old and popular ballad. Truly,
what is home without her. if she be a
bright, s%unny-faced woman, healthful,
hopeful, happy, always looking on the
bright side of life, the beloved compan-
ion of her children, sending her husband
out into the world every morning with
u cheerful word of encouragement, and
meeting him at night with welcom-
ing kiss. A home is indeed made desc
late by the loss of such a wife and
mother. Many a mother is not this

UPS and Downs In Life.

We have in our mind, says an ex-
change, a brilliant and cultivated young
lawyer who started in life with twenty
thousand dollars and a refined, beautiful
and accomplished wife. He is now a
sort of tactotum in a carpet manufac-
tory. running hither and thither at the
beck and call of those whom he secretly
despises, doing heavy tasks far beyond
his strength, yet eager and anxious to
please, lest the slender support which
he derives from his menial work be cut
off. We know gentleman who was a
bank president ten years ago and owned
his carriage, who now does copying in
an insurance Office at thirty-fiv dollars
a month, supporting-God knows how

know of gentleman who once held a
high Office in a Western State. who So

Forecasting the Weather.

Readers of Quentin Durward will
readily remember the Importance which
Louis XI. of France is said to have at
tached to the warnings of his astrolo-
ger, but they may possibly have over
looked the exceptional instance in which
common sense prevailed over supersti-
ton. The king-according to the story
had mind to hunt one day, and, be-
ing doubtful of the weather, inquired of
his astrologer whether it would be fair,
the sage answered with confidence in the
affirmative. At the entrance of the for
est the royal cortege was met by char
coal man, who expressed to some meni-
ais of the train his surprise that the
a day when it threatened tempest. The
Golfers prediction proved true. The
king and his court were driven from
their sport well drenched, and Louis,
having heard what the collier had said,
ordered the man before him. How
are you more accurate in foretelling the
weather, my FRIEND" said he, (" than
this learned manP" I" am an ignorant
man, SIRE" answered the collier, twas
never at school, and cannot read or
write but / have an astrologer of my
own, who shall foretell weather with
any of them. 1t is, with reverence, the
ass who carries my charcoal, who al
ways, when bad weather is approaching,
points forward his ears, walks more
slowly than usual, and tries to rub him
self against walls; and it was from these
signs that foretold yesterdays storm"
The king burst into fit of laughing
dismissed theastrological biped, and as
signed the collier small pension to
maintain the quadruped. swearing he
would never in future trust to any other
astrologer than the charcoal mans ass.
Indications such as those here spoken of
have been familiar to the country folk
from the earliest times; for it is quite
certain that the lower animals feel ap-
proaching changes of the weather in q
way which we can very imperfectly un-
derstand. Still even among ourselves,
there are many who are to some extent,
sensible to these changes, and the sensa-
tion is generally unpleasant. Old
wounds are painful before rain; the
head aches before thunder; or there is q
feeling of uneasiness difficult to explain,
but none the less real. So also with an
imals; they career wildly about the
field in restless excitement, they scratch
themselves in hedges, they rub them
selves against the wall, or their annoy
ance finds vocal expression, as in the
agonizing yell of the aristocratic pea
cock, or the discordant hee-haw of the
plebian donkey. Such signs are not to
be neglected by the careful student of
weather, ,althoug Oh they cannot be counted
as strictly scientific. The evidence
is of the nature ofhearsay, and can only
be accepted conditionally. - Frazer'S

Electrical JeWelry.

Every one is more OF less acquainted
with the advances made in the use of
electricity, particularly in the way of
lighting and as motive power, but few
would ever have suspected that it was
likely to be applied to purposes of per-
sonal adornment. Such, however, is
the case, for M. Trouve has found the
means of applying it in most ingenious
manner to certain articles of jewelry.
The applications of it are comparatively
unlimited, but a description of few ar
ticles will suffice to give the reader an
idea of this invention. Take first of all
Il breastpin consisting of deaths head
enameled, with movable eyes of dia-
nonds or rubies and the lower jaw ar
ticulate1. At the pleasure of the wearer,
by means to be described presently, it
can be made to roll its eyes and chatter
its gumless teeth. Another pin is sur
mounted by small golden drum, on
which is seated on its tail little rabbit
holding in its fore paws two drumsticks,
with which it beats a tattoo when the
electric current is applied. A third is
ofa bird covered all over with diamond
points, which on completing the circuit
flutters its wings and produces curious
effect. One of these was made for the
Princess de Metternich. But the curious
part of the invention is the battery by
which these objects are putin motion.
Each of them is attached to an invisible
wire, easily concealed in the garments or
the hair, the other end of which is con-
nected with minute battery. This ap-
paratus is not bigger than pencil-case,
and can be easily carried unseen in the
waistcoat pocket. 1t consists of tube
Theoretically sealed, containing in the
upper half a pile composed of zinc and
carbon inclosed in case of hardened
india rubber (ebonite). The zinc and
the carbon only occupy the upper por-
tion of the tube, the lower containing
the exciting liquid. So long as the tube
is kept in a perpendicular position the
pile is not reached by the liquid, and
consequently no action takes place; but
the moment it is placed horizontally the
acid acts on the pile and circuit is es.
tablished which sets the movable parts
in action. Thus the wearer has only to
vary the position of the tube to produce
the motion or stop it at pleasure.
