TIE South Carolina democracy still
teaches its followers t0 look upon the fed
eral power as o tyranny to he hated and
overthrown. The state democratic COM
mittee has just published its address in the
Charleston papers, signed by man who
was foremost in taking South Carolina out
Of the union in 1860. He says:
Driven we'll nigh to despair, the free.born
citizens of the state resolved to unite their
strength in n supreme effort for relief They

Of law In the state, and thereby placed her on

But over them all still hangs the centralized
governmental dark threat to liberty and an
effective obstruction to the quiet and peaceful

of the free-born rifle clubs, and he now
prays for the overthrow of the last OBJ.

IN one department of the Brussels exposition
the making of sabots occupies prominent
place. Everybody knows that sabot is
wooden shoe. But there are sabos and
sabots. From a square block Of wood 1t Is
quito easy even for an uuskiled workman to
carve out a heavy wooden shoe, such as the
peasants Of the country villages tramp about
in. But there arc also sabots finished with great
care, polished to look like leather, with even
the sewing on at the soles carefully initiated
so as to deceive tho very elect. To the eye
this sabot is simply well.shaped leather
shoe. Other sabots disdain this hypoctisy and
boldly declare that they are simply of wood
but wood delicately fashioned, with pretty
carvings and decorations as VIC SEQ in Swiss
work. There are sabot slippers as we'll as stout
sabot shoes. The sabot, moreover, can be made
very light, and only "the clang of the wooden
shoon" would remind the wearer of its humble
origin. This, however, can be overcome by
the use of piece of felt or carpet tackled on
the sole, and the sabot would then defy detec.
tion. The introduction of sabots in the
United States would bo good idea, for their
cost is but triniug. A good, serviccable pair oi
sabots could be imported at from 40 to 60 cents
a pair and an elegantly finished pair for 81
Compare this with the cost of leather shoes
Fathers in America who have to shoe family
of boys all round every six weeks should look
forward to an importation of sabots They are
warmer, drior and will wear longer than
leather such as Is put into children's shoes.

THE HOPE or THE REBs.

The rebs don't want any aid from this
government in the way of pensions. OF
course not; but why are they raising that
question constantly? As a case in point
VIC have been permitted to make the fol-
lowing extract from letter written under
date Of August II, 1850, to pension claim
agent in this city;
DEAR SIR: You say the government don't
allow me anything for my services. Why
Because | fought against it. Because | was a
reb. But you sed in your advertisement all
soldiers IN the late war was entitled to pen
sion. You did not say rebel or federal. II

will give me large benefit.
Yours truly, L. ID. ARGUS.
HANCOCK is the peg upon which the
hungry rebs hang all their future hopes
and although they ftinto" the rebellion Oh
the other side, they think it will be gen
tlemanly Oh his part to see that they are all
pensioned when he takes charge of the gov
enment. No doubt when that day comes
their hopes will be fully realized, but that
day is long way OF. We would not Rd'
wise these hungry expectauts to give any
short notes expecting HANCOCK to help IL
paying them through rebel pensions

PARIS ITEMS.

A lady having learned that her hus-
band was III the habit OF visiting Made
moiselle d. called upon that actress ard
said, with freezing dignity: "Mademoi-
selle, you should not have your trouble
for nothing. Here are five francs for the
visit my husband made you this morn-
ing" "Madame," replied the sprightly
soubrette, "give me ten, for he is coming
back this evening""
Montesquieu Frenchmen trouble
themselves but little with constancy.-
They think it as ridiculous to swear TO
woman that they will always love her
as to expect that they will be always
well or that they will be always happy.
When they promise a woman that they
will always love her they take it for
granted that she ON her side promises to
be always amiable, and if she fails in
her word they do not regard themselves
as held to their own.
An American was breakfasting at one
of the restaurants of the Palais Royal
At an opposite table was seated decid-
edly handsome woman, Parisienne from
top to toe. OF course the American
looked at her, and it occurred to him
that she might not be altogether insensi.
bic to his admiTipg glances. He was
sure OF it when the lady, in English and
with the cutest of accents, said: "Come
here, my pretty one." 1t must be agreed
that the Yankee was startled. 1t was
hardly the style of recognition he expect
cd, but perhaps he thought to himself it
is the Paris way, and was laying down
his napkin to go over and bow his ac-
acknowledgements, when he observed a
shaggy cur drag himself out from be-
meath a chair and proceed to the feet of
his fair enslaver. "JoH petit chie,,, 'she
said, as she stroked its ugly head" at

Mrs. Katherine Brown, 70, and Mrs.

an average OF ever 80 years each. In
spite Of the fact that he has many
wealthy relations old Lewis Rockwell
has been thrown upon the town and
is now nearly the only "town charge"

died some years ago, was connection

Think it was during the last winter Mr..
Wilson spent at Washington before his
death. We met there in tho Office Of the

topic OF conversation then among Republic

that l had any hand in placing Grant
there for the second time;" aud said how
much regretted that could not support
the nomination at Philadelphia, on his

vinced then as was now Of Gen. Grants
