OLD FATHER TIME is a good Doctor
Ho don't make any noise about it, but he
cures maladies that nobody else eau. He
sets things to rights and brings things to
pass that seem almost impossible. His
pendulum is always swinging even or
odd, good or bad, Jack in the bush, cut him
down, here she goes and there she goes,
but it is the grand regulator Of all subfoou.
airy things Father Time brings pcstilence
and war, makes nations to rise and fall, de-
poses kings and cheats presidents out of
their Offices and allows the good and the
brave to BE- slandered by the mean and the
little, but by and by it all turns out right
It looks dark for while, but the light of
history uncovers it. Sometimes it takes
him hundred years, to cure bad
case-sometimes ffty-sometimc less, &C.

trouble, but it took him only fifteen to bring
Ben Butler to his right mind. Ben Butler
is great man. Like Bob Toombs, he was
born great, and he improved upon what ma.
ture had done for him, but screw got
loose in Ben's philanthropy and he quit

sinners though they were.
Somebody has said that great men are full
OF contradiction that they are great in some
things, but very small in others. Well, 1
reckon that's SO, considerin' that Sam John
son wore shirt five weeks without washin',
and Isaac Newton cut three holes in the
door, one for the old cat and two for the
kittens, and Lord Bacon took bribes, and
stole -dear, and Demosthenes
and Frederick the Great run away in their
first battle, and Henry Clay buckcd the
tiger, and Genera eckson bet big plan
tstion and niggers on horse race, and
Beecher, we'll he-I don't know what he
did nor what he didn't, but I'm afeerd he's
been little loose in the socket. But, after
all, none fem nor any other great man
ever stole spoons.-BM Arp.

You will always consider that when a

Evins, member of Congress from South
Carofiua, has given his views to CORES.
pendent Of tho New York Herald. He
says: "The Democratic majority have done
all they could to secure the repeal of the
odfops laws in question. 1t was in the
power. of tho President to defeat their eff.
forts, and he has exerted that power. Tho
responsibility for the failure rests upon him
and his party alone. AS the Democrats
cannot pass the measure in the face Of their
opposition, we ought now to accept defeat
gracefully and pass the appropriation bills
at once without the political riders. We
ought even to pass them first and then offer
bills repeating the obnoxious laws as a sep
aratc measure. This course would leave
the Republicans without excuse for their
opposision, as we would be acting in mani>
fest and perfect good faith, aud they could
not say that we were holding back the ap-
preparations by way of threat. IF they
refused at last to pass these measures, we
could 60 before the country and let the peo-
pie decide upon them. We should not
allow ourselves, as Southern men, to he
diverted from, what we think is the true
iuferes of tho people by any pleas of party
necessity on the part Of tn, Northern Dem-
ocrats. We are really the majority of the
Democratic party in each branch of Con-
gress, aud will lie held responsible for the
legislation of Congress-, We have the right,
therefore, to dictate the policy to be pur-
sued. Any attempt to adjourn without
passing the appropriation bills will be con.
sidered revolutionary by the country, and
we cannot afford to be put in that position
We have been between the upper and neither
millstones long enough. We are willing
to do the voting and allow the Northern
Democrats to hold the offices, but we claim
the right to shape the policy of the party
for which we must and will be held respons.
ible. What Conkling said in his recent
speech is true, that we are tho controlling
power in both branches, and while it may
bo very pleasant for Northern politicians,
seeking their preferment, to keep up sec.
tiOnal strife, our interests demand that we
shall have cessation of such strife. Should
we adjourn without tho means of carrying
on the government, believe It would solid.
ify the North as much as did the firing
upon Fort Sumter in 1861. Our Northern
Democratic friends might then find the
tide too strong for them, aud leave us in
the lurch by seeking new alliances with the
National or Greeuback party. We cannot
afford to take the risks which they cam
We cannot afford to play cat to their monkey
any longer. IF there are any cl,estnuts to
be had they will get them the burnt paws

ANOTHER New DEPARTURE.-Ou He
brew friends, especially those of the ortho-
dox branch, are much exercised over the
new departure proposed at the fashionable
Templo Emanuel on Fifth avenue, New
York. It seems likely that the day of wor-
ship will be changed from Saturday to
Sunday. Most of the worshippers in the
Temple Emanuel are of the class of Jews
who attend to business on Saturday Just as
other people do, and they 6ud it inconve-
nient to give part of that day to religious
service. They do not see why the Chris,
tian Sabbath would not answer just as we'll,
and they propose to substitute it for their
own. Rabbi Gotthiel, tho. pastor of the
Temple, whose sympathies are with the pro-
gressive element of bis people, is in favor
of the change. He thinks the attendance,
at service would be much larger on Sunday
than tits on Saturday, because business
would rot then interfere at all. The old
fashioned Jews are indignant ut this addi.
tional symptom of weakening on the part
of their progressive" brethren, and some
of them even denounce the Temple Emau-
uel people as renegades and apostates
But these people cut loose from orthodox
Judaism long ago. They are jews (accord.
ing to the old standard) only in name.-
They observe scarcely any of the old FORMS
and they pay very little moro attention to
the Sabbath than free thinking so.called
Christians pay to Sunday. Nearly all the
Jewish brokers and merchants arc at their
places of business on Saturday just as rcgu.
larly as on. Monday. Most of these are IN
favor of dropping the old fashioned Sabbath
altogether, and opening the temples on Sun.
day instead. At present it seems highly
probable that the change will be made, and
that it will soon begin at the fashionable
Fifth avenue teIplc.-Ners and Courier.
A WOMAN OF BUsINEss.-Patersou

recently developed rare business qualities.
She is beer saloon woman, and an oppor.

Sebastian Weber, was found hanging, aud
dead, in the beer-house cellar. It was tho
"Trip Van Wrinkle Beer Hail." and Weber
had gone to his long sleep, but Mrs. Weber
was wide awake. The old man in the Gel.
lar was the attraction, and an adv ,rtise- :
ment, and the old woman sold beer, an d
said to her customers, ''I'm glad the old
mans gone" They admired the courage
with which she bore, up and drank beer to
her health and fortune. One of the old
mans sons, who came to take charge of Tho
funeral, tried to prevail upon bis thrifty
step-mother to shut up shop. and when she
refused to do it, he cut the leader pipe con

The WISDOM or MERoY.-The Queen
was not twenty years Of age when sho as.
ccnded the throne. Coming into the pos.
session Of power with heart fresh, tender
and pure, and with all her instincts inclin.
ed to mercy, we may be sure that she found
many things that tried her strength Of res
olution to the utmost. On one bright beau.
tiful morning the Queen was waited upon
at her palace, at Windsor, by the Duke of
Wellington. He had brought :. from Lon.
don various papers requiring her signature
to make them operative. One of them was
sentence of court.martial pronounced
against soldier of the line, that sentence
that he be shot dead. The Queen looked
upon the paper, and then looked upon the
wonderous beauties that nature had spread
to her view. "What has this man done ?"
she asked. The Duke looked at the paper,
and replied: "Ah my royal mistress,
that man, fear, is incorrigible. He has
deserted three times" "And can you not
say anything in his behalf, my lord !',-
Wellington shook his head "Oh, think
again, l pray you!" Seeing that her Ma
jesty was so deeply moved and feeling sure.
she would not have the man shot in any
event, he finally confessed that the man was
brave and gallant and really good soldier.
"But," he added, "think of the influence"
"InAuence I" the Queen cried, her eyes
flashing and her bosom heaving with strong
emotion. "Let it be ours to yield infu-
eDee. I will try mercy in this mans case,
and I charge you, your Grace, to let me
know the result. A good soldier, you said.
oh, I thank you for that. And you may
tell him that your good word saved him.
Then she took the paper and wrote, with a
bold, firm hand, across the dark page, the
bright, saving word-"Pardoned |" The
Duke was fond Of telling the story, and
he was willing also to confess that the Civ
ing of that paper to the pardoned soldier
gave him far more joy thao he could have
experienced from the taking of city

ETY. of women, known as "Thc Sorosis," whose
chief amusement heretofore has been to dine at
Dclmonico's and dabble in literature, has taken

DREADFUL ACCIDENT on A WESTERN ROAD
Detroit October lO.-The Pacific express, which
left here Oh the Michigan Central Railroad forty
minutes late, collided with q switch engine on
the main track at Jackson at o'clock this
morning, tclcscoping the baggage and express
cars and piling eleven coaches on the top of
each other. The first coach was filed with emf
grants, most of whom were killed or seriously
injured. Many occupants of the other coaches
were also killed or injured. 1t is supposed that
twenty-five were killed and thirty wounded, the
majority being emigrants. Physicians and others
are doing everything possible to alleviate the
sufferings of the wounded.
The engineer and fireman of the express train
were literally torn to pieces, but the engineer
and fireman of the switch engine escaped injury
by Jumping from their engine.
AS near rs can be ascertained, the accident
was caused by the switchman having charge of
making up freight trains at Jackson junction.
occupying the main track with q switch engine
and caboose, he understanding the express train
was considerably behind time. The express
train, however, had made up nearly all lost
time. No Southern people among the names of
the killed and inj jured.

Wool AND CoIToN FACTORIES At THE SoUTH.
1t is stated that the woolen factory at New
Braunfels, Texas, nctted SS1 900 profit to its
owners last year.
When manufacturing enterprises in the South
are spoken of rs opening bright prospect for
vision to cotton factories. But just SO Surety
as the South begins to compete with New Eng
land in Gotten manufactures, just SO surely will
woolen factories follow suit.
One of the largest wool growers in Pcnnsyl-
vania says that the red hills of the Carolinas
and Georgia arc vastly better for raising sheep
than any part of Pennsylvania.
Just as cotton mill-owners find it profitable
to come to the cotton fields, so it will be neces-
sary to bring the .woolen mills South ,.where the
sheep are raised, and it will not be m any years
before it is demonstrated that wool can be made
as cheaply in South Carolina as it can be in
Texas GreenuHke Nc1s.
