.. OAKLAND, 8. c., February "a, 1879.
My Dear Sir : In rendering, as l now do,
nv resignation as Governor of South Caro-.
lima it is proper that should give the rea-
sons which have caused me to postpone doing
so until the present time. When the Gsner-
al Assembly did me the honor to elect me
United States Senator, there we're some OF.
fetal acts which, it was supposed, could be
properly discharged only by myself: | pro-
posed, therefore, to resume Executive author
ity for few days to perform those duties, but
nv health has never permitted me to do so,
and the recent decision of the Supreme Court
renders it unnecessary for me to take any &C..
ton in this matter. can, therefore, now re-
sign without any prejudice to the State or
any embarrassment to myself, and in doing
80 feel that [ commit the Executive author
ity to one in every way worthy and compe-
tent to WELD it. IT,, ..,i n ,...L -.
It will always be source of pride and
qualification to me to recall my ofhclal con-
nection with yourself and with the other Of
fcers of State. We have been in perfect &C.
cord on all the great public questions which
have agitated the State, and our personal re-
lations have been those of the closest friend
ship. In severing my connection with them
officially, beg to express my great obliga-
tions to them, and my earnest wishes for their
prosperity and success. r.., ,~."..
To the people of South Carolina, who have
done me such undeserved honor in the past,
who have sustained me with such unfaltering
confidence, and who have manifested towards
me, during my late illness, an affection never
surpassed, have no words by which ade-
quately to express my gratitude l can only
promise to devote whatever of life and ability
God may grant me to their, service, only ask
ing them to remember that l have never so.

Boots i'm MelOdrama.

A strolling troupe, of whom young
Hortense Seine der was one, announced
lila Tour de Nesle" for their last per-
Torrance. An overflow resulted The
actors were in high spirits, and full of
fun. Mile. Schneider, discovering an
old pair of russell boots behind the
scenes, put them, by way Of joke, into
the hands Of Buridan as he was going
on the stage. Accepting of the awkward
handful, he placed the boots on table
on the stage and quietly went through
his part; when another actor, of the
name of Philippe d'Aulnay, took pos
session and made his exit with one I'M
der each arm. In the next act, Mar
guerite de Bourgogne entered carrying
the mysterious boots, and passed them
to Gaultier d'Aulney; he turned them
over to Orsini; in short before the cur
tain fell the boots, though foreign to
the piece, had been borne in succession
by every parsonage. The audience
watched for their appearance, while
wondering what it ell meant, and APP
plauded the players to their hearts con-
tent. Twelve months afterward another
company set up their bills in Agen, and
Ella Tour de Nesle" attracted everybody
to the theater; but before the first act
was over there were symptoms of dis
pleasure, which gradually increased I'M

BULLETS MEETING IN MID-AIR.
The Story of Large Bullet and Small One,
as Told by an Old Soldier.

The Story of Large Bullet and Small One,
as Told by an Old Soldier.
From an English paper.l
It appears, however, from Forest and
Stream, that the New York shot manu-
facturers, Messrs. latham Bros, occa
sionally found bullets welded together
in the scrap-lead brought from the bat
tie fields of the American civil war, and
Lieut.. Col John A. Mclaughlin recent
ly forwarded two bullets to the Scie1a-
tifc american SO impacted in each
other, which we're also picked up on the
same fields. He says that at the time OF
the retreat of the Federal Gen. N. P.
Banks, after his defeat in attempting to
capture Shreveport, La, in the summer
of 1864, he Gieut. Col. Mclaughlin
was in command of one Of the retreat
ing regiments. A portion of his regi-
ment was thrown forward on the flank
of the main body, in skirmishing
order. These two bullets, he
says, were inpacted in the air
between his skirmishers and the Skin
mishers of the enemy and fell like a
spent ball near the head Of the column
Of the main body. A Drum Major, see
ing the missile fall near him, picked it
up, thinking it to be a spent bullet, but
found the two bullets welded together.
He afterward presented it to Lieut..
Col. Mclaughlin. One of the bullets
belonged to larger-bore rifle than the
other, and the larger one is stated to
have belonged to the Confederates, as it
was of caliber then known to be much
used by them, and somewhat larger in
bore than the rifles used by the North
erners. It is supposed that the larger
bullet had travelled a shorter distance
than the smaller at the instant OF i'm
pact, and possibly had been propelled
by superior quality or quantity Of
powder. This, together with it's weight,
is thought to have had the effect of
driving the smaller bullet back beyond
the line from which it was fired.

An Experiment With Paupers.

The annual report of the Boston In
dustrial Aid Society quotes the follow
ing account Of a charitable society at
the Hague, in Holland, composed at
first Of wealthy men, who purchased in
1916 some tracts of state land amount
ing to $4,000 acres, on which they col
oniaed families of beggars and paupers,
under system of regulations, the OBJ
ject of which was to make them indus
trious and self-supporting:
mot less than $4,000 persons finally
subscribed to the enterprise, each
paying two forms, or about 81 10 of our
money, annually, for its maintenance
Each adult, if able and willing to work,
was provided with small cottage, two
acres of land, pig and COW, and oc-
casionally few sheep. The tillage,
labor and general management were
carefully supervised. If the pauper or
beggar was ignorant of agriculture, as is
usually the case in cities, he received
daily instruction until he had learned
whatever it was necessary for him to
know. His children were sent to school,
for which competent teachers were fur
nished by the society. The women
were employed in sewing, spinning and
weaving, and every one was kept busy,
the rule of the society being
that no one shall be idle. At
the close of the day, laborer
gets a card with an exact state
ment of his earnings, for which he is
paid in food and clothing. Whatever
he needs the first year is furnished, but
after that he is expected to pay the cost
of his equipment and most Of the col
onists have done so. The great ma
jority are self-supporting, and some Of
them have laid by considerable money.
Subject to strict rules and under severe
discipline while they remain, they are
permitted to go away, if they wish,
after they have discharged their indebt-
edness and gathered the first harvest.
Those who are idle, refractory, or dis
honest are sent to a penal colony-a
decayed fortress, surrounded by a
broad canal-and guarded to prevent
escape. Tailoring, weaving and car
pentering are carried on there for
reformation. The failure of this enter
prise was generally predicted; but the
success is now assured, as the Govern
ment partially supports 'Frederick's
Ord and its connections. There are at
present over 1900 persons in all the
colonies, and the cost per head is about
$l32 per annum."
But why may not this system be eff
fectively carried out, under provisions
of law and with CAREFUL -selected super
intendents, on every town or county
poor-farm in America? With q little
more brain and heart brought to the
work of the overseers, we believe the
present slovenly method might be
worked up to something like the Dutch
standard of efficiency and usefulness

Patrick ODonnell who was convicted
at Mauch Chunk, last summer, of MUIR
der in the first degree as an accessory
before the fact to the killing Of Morgan

The court granted him a new trial, and
on Oct. IL he was convicted of murder
in the second degree and sentenced, a
week later, to seven years imprisonment
in the Eastern penitentiary.

street Life In Venice.

Ncnice's great impression is its street life
so brilliant, 80 highly colorcd, so unlike
that of any other city The COMMONPLACE
shows Of the guide-books are flat and disap-
pointing; the prisons dungeons, Bridge Of
Sighs, etc. The school girls glamour
thrown over these places is mainly traccable
TO Byron's sentimental wash of verse The
unbalanced poets judgement on the historic
events of Venice is about as week and vicious
as his judgement on others matters, and his
ignorance of fact is appalling The daily
picture of all Venice. however, is something
OF which one never tires, and which changes
with every hour. Goudola a life is somc.
thing deliciously dreamy and luxurious
in the soft light OF day or under the sheen
of moon and starlight. Let dark night
come and rain, however, and these long,
narrow, deep, black boats, seen mysteriously
from the fair point of light ON their brow,
take in themselves the likeness of floating
collins stored by the shades. The effect is
indcscribably scpuchra. You seem to be
alone IN the waters Of Hades among the
spirits. The gondolas are all Of funeral
black. painted black, carved in black,
with black draperics over the dark cabin.
Many centuries ago a Venetian law ordered
this pattern and color, for what reason do
not know. The laws in Venice do not
change ard the gondolas are all black and
ghostly to this day. The streets are very
narrow and blaze with light. Their mar
rowness-sometimes not over three feet
makes a very little light TO serve to brilliant
~ illuminate them, and the jets in the shop
windows, kept open until late at night,
keep them bright and blazing almost with
out tho outdoor lamps. Through them the
people surge in constant stTeams-all nat.
ions, all classes, all colors. You study the
world, but even the Ncnetiaus themselves
present some strong contrasts, for they in
time are made up of the blood OF many
people. One striking contrast, which You
soon note, is that the Venetian men as Il
body are dark, their women blonde The
sounds, too, are polyglotta, and everything
is international
