ORANGEBURG, S. g., OBT. l 1880.
KEEP TO THE RIGHr.-Will not the
police make the wagons and other We
hicles keep to the right? The streets
Mt this season are jam, and every
one should follow this rule.

residence Of G. c.. Dantzler, Esq, a

ORDINArIoN.--After the morning
service at the Presbyterian Church
on last Sabbath an impressive ordina-
tion sermon was made by the Rev. j.
y. A. Brown, and Capt. John A.
Hamilton was ordained ruling cl'
der, and Capt. B. w. Izlar a deacon
Of the church.
OUR thanks are due Capt. Il. X.
Legare, of Fort Note, for favors
conferred while there ON Saturday
last. Capt. Legarc, we learned, is
the only Gentle merchant at the
Fort, and is competing successfully
with the proverbial shrcwdness Of his
Hebrew neighbors.
Miss Barbara Pound, aged SO years
and one Of the oldest inhadtant on
Bull Swamp, is lying sick with q
severe type of fever. We trust the
means employed for her recovery may
be blessed with success and this Wor-
thy octogenarian may yet number
her hundredth year.
WE call The attention of our readers
to the new advertisement Of Mr.. A.
+. II. Dukes Of Branchvillc. He has
on Hand large stock of fresh and
fashionable goods in every department
which he proposes to sell rs low as
they can be bought in any town OF the
State. Give him a call and cxumine
for yourself.
WE had the honor on Tuesday eve
ming last Of a scrcnadc by the Edi-
sto Band. The remarkable prolci-
ency and skill OF these gentlemen
have long been source OF pride to
our ciLlzens; we, with Others, wish for
lhcm still higher attainment in this
useful rs well as elegant art. AS All
institution of our town we arc proud
Of IL.
IT is said by those who heard it
that Boliver's speech at Fort Mo.tc
last Saturday was The tancst affair
possible for q campaign etfolt. We
arc glad that the crpose made by the
DEMOCRAT Of his blood and thunder
proclivitics has had such tinc cf-
feet. Hereafter the King Radical of
Oranyeburg will be wiser if not
better man.
CAMrMEETING time is at hand and
our citizens of several section Of the
county will pass through a season Of
rare religious enjoyment, Indian
Fields is now in progress; Boiling
Spring will begin next Thursday !:
Union, in Lower St. Matthews, on the
Thursday following, and Limestone
Lhe week after. We hope to attend
some Of these, especially Union.

Hitch UP ole Marco, Josiah, Il e
girls are going berrying."
How you do indulge them wild
young critters, Maria. They'll
break their necks yet if they keep
on" sighed the old gentleman, as
he walled away to execute the i'm
perative commands of his wife.
You'll have to hurry, girls, for
Nance wont stand IA minute for ye,
the flies be SO bad" called Aunt
Marla from the foot of the stairs
ieaalng up to the chambers Of the
humble farm house, where O bevy
nfyoung voices We're in an animated
discussion over their equipments
fu. the projected berry party.
"Anything viii do, and the more
grot,-sgue, tie better exclaimed
Hattie Willard, fastening pair o.
shoes three times too large for her
dainty little feet, with white cord
III leiu or the original strings.
They bad fshel out Of Aunt
Maria's huge garret all sorts of
antiiu'etee, cast-Stf garments, and
arrayed themselves aEa came doga
dancing at her cali as perfect set
of gnys as ever weEe seen.
"Ye are il sight to behold" ex-
claimed that lady laughing until
her fa5 sides achea and the tears
glittered in her kind blue eyes, as
the young city misses stood before
her.
Hattie had on Che great coarse
shoes and dilapidated brown dress
figured with green Polka dots, =
and louking, as she said, like a
multitude Of cats eyes minus the
lids. She was clad in a. old calico
wrapper which she declared Mrs.
Noah weuld have considered too an
cient for her. May was completely
overshadowed by blue skirt and
saoske, which she asserted was
ample enough to contain the whole
party if they would only keep to-
gether. And the petite Bose, the
youngest and the pet of the party
had, by dint of fancy leather belt
aid quantity of pins. surrounded
herself with another of her aunt's
ugly old gowns, while over her suI-
ny tresses she had tied a battered
oad-brimmed hat of Uncle
Joe.ahs.
"Oh. gracious me-" exclaimed
Aunt Maria as soon as she could re-
cover her breat from laus hing.
''you don't think, Rose Willard.
you are going berrying in them lit
tie slippers and lovely pink stock
ings? They'd be in rags in no time" !"
Il shall have to, Annty. I haven't
another thing to put on. | don't
want to spoil nay new kid boots and
my eauze slippers are lever than
these. and the girls have apprcrri-
ated everything"
"Well ycu can't go that way,
child, returned her aunt decidedly.
and she marched off and returned
with pair Of boots which she de-
signatad as fine"
Your Uncle Josiah has got small
er feet than / have. and though of
course they will be forty miles too
big, you won't have much walking
to do. SO put them on and you'll
be puss in boots sure enough"
The young lady complied with
the commands amid peals of laugh
ter, and then cllmed into the one
horse wagon with the rest, and
with Miss Hattie for driver they
ratiled down the road leaving thei,
60 and Jolly old onnty standing in

A POETICAL WEDDING.

during his absence the girls repair
ed their wardrobes as best they
could, and whea he returned urged
him to lunch with them. After
ward, in the cool of the evening, he
assisted them to their wagon, and
stood lat in hand as they ,dreEe
away.
In explaining the event of the day
to Aunt Maria. they all declared
that young Squire Buttles was
jnst splendid-so intellectual, and
all that"
Il should think he ought to be-"
replied the old lady. '-for he has
travelled all ever Europe, to say
nothing of his own country"
A week er two later Aunt Maria
stood IL the vine-covered verandah
looking over her spectacles at a
group Of young folks playing cro-
quet.
81 wonder, Josiah" said she,
(which one Squire Buttles is after.
for he spends most OF his time here"
1t don't make much difference"
grewled that gentleman. IF he'd
marry the whole of them and cart
them off, I'd be glad for one"
You're pretty Christian" she
replied. But 1 do believe little
Rosy is the one. because he is her
very shadder. See, he is bending
over her now. asking her to go
somewhere, and here they come,
aid she leaning on his arm"
May l Eo boat-riding with Mr..
Buttles Aunty?" asked the young
lady, from the foot Of the verandah

take good care of ber. sir, and wonI@
let her get frightened to death by
any more snakes" questioned Aunt
Maria.
L think I can safely pro<nise
that. said he, laughing down into
the blushing face of the girl; "but
she must be provided with shawl,
as the evening may be chilly"
While her aunt was absent for the
required article, Rose said:
i do wish Aunty would permit
me to forget that unfortunate epi-
sode."
Il had hoped you would not de-
sire to do so, he "hispered warmly.
"Why?" she questioned.
"Becanse our lGeeting was so ro-
mantle and altogether happy; and"
The shawl and Aunt Maria's
many injuuetions interrupted them,
and they walked away in the gloam-
ing.
1T is match, sartin," calculated
the old lady, land / shall have little
Rosy always near me-" and she
wiped her misty glasses and went
into the house trinnphantly happy.
in spite of the eaustic remarks of
Uncle Josiah.
You are as romantic as any
young gal, and about as silly. At
your time of life u body ought to
think of dying, instead of love and
"Botherathon2 If I was so set
on dying as you be I'd go off and
be done with it. As for me shall
rejoice with the young folks just as
long as / live and take comfort in
seeing such a sweet. pretty thing
as Rosy win the love of such y
grand gentleman as the young
Squire" :"
On the river, in the moonlight,
he told his love and won the con-
sent of Rose to become his wife,
and before another summer had

ents, than for the manufacture of
political capital.
Referring to the lists of claims
stated 10 have been allowed by the
claims committee, | would say,
that they were not adjudicated and
passed upon by the committee at all,
but having already been allowed by
the quartermaster and commissary
general, under the act of July !, 1864,
and reported to congress by the ecre-
tary Of the treasury for appropria-
ton, we're reported f~avorably by
the committee as a matter
of purse in accordance with
rule No. l, above mentioned. As to
the fact of a larger number of allow
ances for East than for West Tennes-
see, there arc two very good reasons.
There is a much larger proportion of
the citizens of East Tennessee, who
are able to make the proof required by
the act of congress governing the set
Element oil war claims. Also, for the
last two years there have been a larger
number of special agents of the quar-
termaster's department for the taking
o fevidence and investigation Of claims,
on duty in East Tennessee, this being
chiefly due to the prevalence of the
yellow fever in 1878 and 1879, in this
section of the state. Nevertheless, it
is a we'll known fact that there are a
large number of claims originating in
West Tennessee, which afterthorough
investigation, have been allowed by
the quartermaster general, and the
money paid to the parties entitled.
Trusting that this statement of facts
may have the effect to remove any
erroneous impressions that may have
been made by the letter Of your cor-
respondent, permit me to subscribe
myself. JUSTICE.

OF Hand nam on woman.
BY SLIM JlM.

After man came woman. And she
has been after him ever since.
She is a person Of noble extraction,
being made Of a mans rib. l don't
know why Adam wanted to fool away
his ribs in that way, but | suppose he
was not accountable for all he did.
Woman is not an amphibious animal,
but she seems to know a good deal
about the peculiar merits of water,
and breaches them to her husband,
whenever she smells anything
stronger than water on his breath.
1t costs more to keep a woman than it
does to keep three dogs and a shot
gun. But she pays back with interest
by giving you a houseful Of children
to keep you awake at night, and smear
molasses candy on your Sunday coat.
Besides, a wife is a very convenient
article to have about the house. She
is so handy to swear at whenever you
accidentally cut yourself with the
razor, and don't feel like blaming
yourself. Woman is the superior
being in Massachusetts,, there being
about sixty thousand more of her sex
than males in that state. This ac-
counts for the terrified, hunted-down
expression of the single men who emf
CRATE from the east. Woman was not
created perfect. She has her little
faults-such as false hair, false teeth,
false complexion and so on. But she
is agood deal better than her neigh
bors, and she knows it. Eve was a
woman. She must have been a model
wife, too, for it cost Adam nothing to
keep her in clothes. Still, | think
she was happy. She could not go to
sewing circles and air her information
about everybody she knew, nor excite
the envy OF other ladies by wearing
her new spring bonnet to church.
Neither could she look over the back
fence and gossip with her neighbor.
Poor Evel she's dead now. The
average age of woman is about twenty
two years. She never lives to be very
old. Some of them look as if they
were well advanced in years, but you
should not judge by appearance. If
you take the trouble to ask a woman
how old she is you will discover that
she is quite young. She seldom passes
her thirtieth year; about which time
she begins to tear out certain leaves
in the old family bible. Women, as
a general thing, are hard to manage.
| know of but one way to keep a
woman in che *, and that is to make
her dressin bingham.

THE ENGLISH REGATTA.
Exciting Race Between the Oxford
and Cambridge Crews.


LONDON, March %, $50 a.m.-The
sky is clear and there is light breeze,
indicating favorable weather for the
the boat race. Both crews took a
short spin on the river Saturday after
noon.
$3.50 ANA large crowd is on both
banks ofthe river Thames, and on the
river itself, to witness the thirty
seventh race between the boat crews
representing the Oxford and Cam
bridge universities. The sky is grey,
and there is a mist on the river and
a bitter north wind blowing.
9:45 a.m.-The Oxford crew has
just taken a short paddle, and were
enthusiastically received blythe crowd.
The press and umpire steamers have
arrived. A report from Barnes says
that the crowd which has been as
sembling in hat vicinity is much
greater than Saturday, and the river
is co gered with boats and launches.
The haze which at first overhung the
river has completely cleared off.
IL a.m.-The Oxford crew, as was
expected, won the race. The course
was the one usually rowed--from
Putney to Mortlake, four miles and a
quarter.
The strokes per minute Of the Ok
ford crew were from thirty-seven to
thirty-nine. The race at the COM
mencement was beautifully close.
CAMBRIDGE at first gained a slight adj
vantage from rowing a quicker stroke,
but the Oxford crew drew to a level
with them by the time ahalf-mile had
been rowed, and at Grass wharf, 81
minutes from the start, had lead off a
few feet when a mile had been left
behind. A splendid struggle took
place for the lead, which Cambridge
secured, and opposite a crab tree, a
mile and a quarter from the start, it
seemed as if they would row right
away, but the squirt had told upon the
Cambridge crew, who began to row
short. They, however, maintained
the lead to Hammersmith bridge, a
half.mile further on, partly because
Of bad steering by the Oxford boats
and were on even terms. Very short
ly alter passing the bridge an exciting
struggle was maintained to Chiswick.
The irregularity Of the Cambridge
crew, however, was %perceptibly in
creasing, while the Oxford crew we're
like a machine. When half
way up to Chiswick the Oxford crew
led by half a length. At Chiswick
church, two miles and five furlongs
from the start, the race which so fac
had been one Of the finest ever seen,
was virtually over, the Oxford crew
leading by two lengths.

Startling Runners.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-There is
a startling rumor to-day that Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood has become the
attorney for a number ofyoung women
who have been seduced by compress
men. Mrs. Lockwood's benevolence
towards Miss Horton, who, it is
alleged, Senator Morgan's son ruined,
and Miss Raymond, has induced other
young women similarly unfortunate,
to make her their confidence. The
latest scandal involves three members
of the house and two senators, and
scandalous developments more un.
savory even than those in the Hill
matter are said to be imminent. One
of these scandals is that a western
member seduced a girl under promise
to obtain her a position in one of the
departments, which promise he failed
to Keep, and the girl being in destitute
circumstances, will institute a suit for
damages.
RAYMoND's CALL.
The sensational reports sent outlast
night of Miss RaymOnd's call at Sena-
tor Hills house were greatly over
drawn. Miss Raymond called, as
stated, at the senator's residence, but
created but little disturbance. When
she called Mr.. Hill was not at home.
Being denied admittance at the house,
she stood for a few moments on the
sidewalk in front. Her presence in
the neighborhood very naturally col
lected a crowd. Her remarks were
addressed solely to the policeman who
endeavored to get her to 60
home. The discrepancy between
the statement Miss Raymond recently
published aud this visit is clear proof
that she is acting under directions
from the senator's enemies. 1t appears
to be the purpose to bring the Hill
family into unpleasant prominence.
Miss Raymond called yesterday an
hour before the usual time for the
adjournment of the senate, when the
senator was not expected to be at
home. Very likely her purpose was
not to see Mr.. Hill, but to scandalize
his family. She is known to be al
most destitute Of money herself, but
nevertheless continues to board at
the Washington house. That Hills
enemies are paying her expenses here
is the most natural conclusion. 1t is
stated on the most trustworthy testi-
mony that Senator Hill has the names
Of those who urge on Miss Raymond,
and will divulge them within a short
time.
