In the curt report of the 'advice" given
Ameer the future of Afghanistan looms up.
Formal" letters from General Kaufman
had been received by the Ameer, and advice
was asked of Major Cavagnari as to how
they should be answered, and the instruction
was given that General Kaufman be told to
send any future communications for the
Ameer through the Indian government.
Thus the Amecr, who apparently had some
doubts on the point, understands that he
is not at liberty to receive communications
from the governors and rulers of other
countries as if he were ruler in his
own country, but must learn from
the Viceroy of India SO much rs that official
may choose to tell him of what the amiable
Russian General has to say. At this point,
therefore, must begin the troublesome COM
plications in frontier correspondence by
which Russian officials and British officials
shall directly address one another, and in
which st. Petersburg on one hand and
London on the other shall be called upon
to redress grievances due to the predatory
habits of wild men in Asia. War has al.
ways been regarded us O fact that must
necessarily result from the approximation
of the territory of these Powers, and since
it is SO broadly recognized that the Ameer
is o subject prince the territories touch,

THE WENrHER.-Contrury to expectations
the depression that was passing off the Middle
Atlantic coast on Sunday morning was retarded
in its eastward movement and developed u
storm centre of considerable energy The
pressure fell rapidly within small area over
the Middle Atlantic States during the day,
making the gradients very steep toward even

into the ocean and will have disappeared from
all the coast districts by tonight 1t is fol-
lowed by tongue of high barometer that
moved southwark from the lake regions.
This of high pressure is
being gradually dissipated at its western
margin by the approach of another disturbance
from the Northwest which bids fair to develop
energy when it is passing over the lake regions.
The rainfall was very copious throughout the
Middle Atlantic and New England States and
on the South Atlantic coast. There were also
some light showers experienced in the North
west. The weather was clear in the central val
leys, lake regions, South Atlantic and Gulf
States. The temperature remained nearly sta
tionary in the Northwest and on the Gulf
coast, and fell in the other sections
of the country. The winds have been from brisk

No doubt the movement would be all the
more popular from the fact that the State
legislatures are supposed to be under the
influence of the railroad people by reason

this odium and give them an excellent OPP

The Vegetable Gardens

In and around Camden do not ap-
pear to have yet fully recovered from
the effects of the late cold snap, and
are much more backward than they
usually were at this season in former
years. In some ns.ances the Irish
potatoes did not come up at all after
the tops were killed down by the
frost, and in other places they only
came up scattering, thus causing al
most an entire loss of one of our
best crops for this year. Most other
vegetables were replanted, and are
now growing tolerably well. Cut
worms are very bad on the young
cabbages, and all the gardeners are
taxing their ingenuity in trying to
find out some way of preventing
their ravages. If any of our friends
know of a remedy, we would be
pleased to publish it for the benefit
of all persons who are interested in
gardening.

that time was now about ended, aud

For the Camden Journal.
Memorial Day.

MAY 10Th, 1879.
Bring flowers, choice flowers, to adorn the
graves
Of the Confederate dead, the gallant and
true,
Who fought for the cause-their hearts
blood gave;
Then bedeck them with laurel and yew.
They illustrated their faith in the rights of
the State,
Of their homes, their altars and all they
held dear;
Tho lost was the cause by the stern hand
of Fate,
They abided the issue with hearts void
of fear.
Those braves now resting in the homes of
the dead
Have left names on famc's roll imprrish-
ably bright
For men to gaze on, and from the lustre
shed
Learn how TO suffer for their couutry's
rights.
Tho earth now claims th,se heroes for her
own,
And dust is resting on each noble brow.
And their souls to the god Of battles flown,
On their graves shall garlands By loving
hands be strown;
And mingled with their offerings shall arise
Both prayers and anthems to the God of
all,
While in words of truth shall be reh earsed
their praise,
Soothing the sorrowing hearts that
mourn their loved ones fall.

Prof. Evans Departure
Prof. Evans has decided upon
next Tuesday as the day for his de-
parture from Camden. He goes from
here to Abbeville, and we commend
him to the hospitable care of the
good people of that town. During
his stay among us, the Professor
has made many friends, and has dis
tinguished himself by his generosity
in the bestowal of his talents upon
all occasions which have arisen out
side of his regular business. He has
established a taste and an admira-
ton for music in our midst which
will exist as a monument to his ef-
forts, even after he has gone. We
are all sorry to part with him, especi-
ally the girls; but he will carry with
him our wishes for his continued
prosperity and usefulness.

Stephen Gary.

Stephen Gary.
Our readers will remember that
we published an account, not long
since, of the idiosyncrasies of this
black rascal since he left this part of
the country. Among other things,
he married very respectable colored
woman of Danville, Va, where he
was preaching. Since then Gary's
sins have found him out, and he had
20 leave Danville in a hurry, and the
woman he married there has en-
ployed lawyer to ascertain the facts
of his alleged marriage in this coun-
ty. The lawyer opened a correspond
ence with Intendant Kirkley asking
his cooperation in the matter, and
on last Monday Mr.. Kirkley succeed
ed in getting the affidavit of Gary's
wife here as to her lawful marriage
to Stephen, which paper has been
forwarded to Danville. This will re-
lieve the poor woman, and open the
gates Of the penitentiary for Stephen
if he is ever caught. The lawyers
letter to Intendant Kirkley states
that Gary stole all the money from
the church before he left Danville,
and that when last heard from he
was engaged in missionary work in
Massachusetts. We suppose we ought
to feel proud of Gary, because he is
the only one of all our former Radi-
cal representatives who has exhibit
cd talent for rascaity above the

whom some will recognize by this
narrative, buried eighty-fve dollars
in brandy peach bottle. When he
went to dig up his treasure, he found
that the bugs had eaten through the
stopper, and left nothing of his money
but a small mass Of pulp. He was
condoled with by gentleman upon
his loss, and advised to apply his
money to other purposes. But he
said: mo sir; I once lent wealthy
planter seven hundred dollars, and
never got a cent back; I put six
hundred dollars in the savings bank,
and that was stolen from me; 1

The Ordination of Rev. Thos. P. Ha,

The Ordination of Rev. Thos. P. Hay.
We extract the following from the
Aiken Reuie,o of last week, concern
ing the proceedings of Charleston
Presbytery, recently in session at
Aiken:
"Licentiate Thos. P. Hay was re-
ceived from the Presbytery of Har-
mony. A call from the Aiken Pres
byterian Church for his pastoral SER
vices was presented to Presbytery,
who placed the call in his hands.
Mr.. Hay signifed his acceptance of
the call, and the Presbytery entered
into his examinations for ordination.
These examinations were approved
and sustained, and Presbytery ap-
pointed Sabbath morning as the time
for ordination and installation. On
Sabbath morning Rev. DIR. Bracket
preached an able sermon, after which
the Moderator explained the mean
ing and nature of the service of the
day, and propounded the constitu-
tional questions to the pastor-elect
and the congregation. These were
answered in the affirmative, and MIR.
Hay was solemnly ordained to the
full work of the ministry. Rev S. H.
Hay, of Camden, the father of Rev.
T. P. Hay, then delivered solemn
and touching charge to the pastor,
and DR.. Mack an impressive charge
to the congregation. During these
impressive services the congregation
was deeply moved Sobs were heard
from all parts of the church, and
there were few eyes that were not
filled with tears.

Sunday School Picnic.
On Tuesday last the annual pic
mic of the Episcopal Sunday school
came off. They all assembled at an
early hour and went out to Spring
dale, where q most pleasant day was
spent by them in playing games,
baseball, swinging, wandering around
through the woods hunting wild
flowers, etc. A little past noon din
ner was announced, and the exercise
of the morning had given all of the
children good appetites, so taat the
nice things soon began to vanish,
though there was the greatest abrn-
dance for all. When they returned
home in the afternoon it was with
the assurance that they had indeed
spent happy day. The teachers
and children all unite in returning
thanks to Col. and Mrs. E. B. Cantey
for the many courtesies and acts of
attention rendered to them during
the day by these good people.

Second Crop.
We were shown pear tree the
other day at the residence of Mr..
J. w. DePass which was in full
bloom for the second time this sea-
son. The first crop of fruit was
nearly all killed by the late frost,
only a few small pears remaining to
show what the crop would have
been now if it had not been injured,
but the present prospect is that a
full crop of fruit will be produced
by that tree this year, notwithstand-

Broken Up.

A certain young man living near
town recently placed a fish trap in
Pinetree creek, which 30 blocked the
stream that not fish could go up
without being caught. After the
trap was finished and cover placed
over it, so that he could lock it down
and thus prevent any stray tramp or
other marauder from stealing the
fish, some person passed by and told
him that it was unlawful to obstruct
public stream in that manner. He
thereupon set to work and smashed
up the whole concern, saying that
he would not knowingly violate the
law if he never caught fish. We
wish all the citizens in our COM
munity were as law abiding.
