Get angry with your neighbor, and
think you have not friend in the world.
Shed tear or two, and take walk
in the burial ground, continually say
ing to yourself: "When shall I be buried
here2"
Sign a note for a friend, and never for
get your kindness, and every hour in the
day whisper to yourself: 81 wonder if he
will ever pay that note?
Think everybody means to cheat you.
Closely examine every bill you take, and
doubt its being genuine until you have
put the owner to a great deal Of trouble.
Put confidence in nobody, and believe
every one you trade with to be rogue.
Never accommodate if you can posi-
bly, help it. Never visit the sick or af-
ficted, and never give afarthing to assist
the poor.
Buy as cheap as you can, and screw
down to the lowest cent. Grind the faces
and hearts of the unfortunate.
Brood over your misfortunes, your
lack of talents, and believe at no distant
day you will come to want. Let the
work house be ever in your mind, with
all the horrors of distress and poverty.
Follow these recipes strictly, and you
will be miserable to your hearts content
If We may so speak-sick at heartan at
variance with the world. Nothing will
cheer or encourage you-nothing throw a
CLEAN ofsunshine or ray of warmth in
to your heart.

from public life, if by SO doing could
secure the success of the Democratic
party, and I am ready to do so to-day.
1 have never served the party for the
sake of office. trust that I shall never
descend to so low plane of action.
In conclusion, fellow-citizens, I avail
myself of this opportunity to make a
formal avowal that will under no cir
cumstances become candidate for re-
election to the Office of State Senator.
My plan of life, my personal interests
and my professional duties alike forbid
my becoming professional politician.
I thank you as the representatives of
the Democratic party, and thxoug II you
all of its members, for the PAST honors
the party has conferred upon me, the
highest that the county could give. l
have endeavored to show my appreciation
of this mark of your high trust, by q
bold, conscientious and consistent advo-
cacy of those measures and principles
which I believed would be for the best
interest of the people of this county and
of the State of South Carolina.
I trust in the coming campaign that
the Straightout banner Of Democracy
will be again unfurled, that the Red
Shirt men to q man will fall into line
and rally under the old flag, and that BY
a conservative and united effort you will
excel your proud records in the cam.
paigns of 1876 and 1878, and that when
the campaign of 1880 shall close, that the
plume of old Edgefeld will be waving
again in the van, and that her sister
counties will with one accord proclaim
her P,in,us inter Pdres.

A NEGRo's ELoQuENCE.-The Dallas
(Texas) Times recites the details of a
case that certainly presents some of the
most remarkable features known in the
history of jurisprudence in this country.
This occurred at Waxahachie during the
last term of the Ellis County District
Court. A colored man was indicted for
entering into conspiracy to murder. He
was brought on trial, the evidence was
strong, and, in spite of the good ght
made in his defence by his attorney, he
was convicted. A motion for new trial
was made, and the Judge, seeing that no
error of law was made, and believing the
evidence sufficient, promptly oyerruled
the motion. When the prisoners were
brought in to be sentenced, this negro
was among them. When asked if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him, he said he knew
anything he mil ght say would have no
weight with the court, as all the forms
of law had been complied with, and. he
must go to the Penitentiary, but that he
had something to say for the benefit of
Ills COlOlCel lllCuooj dho1 VIII oao PS'
mission of the court, he would make a
few remarks. The court told him that
he would listen. The negro started off
slowly and deliberately, reviewing the
testimony, showing the inconsistencies Of
witnesses statements, and then, carried
away with the idea of the wrong done
him, he burst forth in strain of elo.
quence seldom heard. When he sat
down the Judge said: 'Saln, I thought
you guilty; 1 don't believe SO now, and
will set aside the judgment overruling
your motion for new trial and give you
another chance" So eloquently had the
negro presented his case that the County
Attorney dismissed the case, and the
prisoner walked out of the court room
free man. This is the first case in Texas,
at least, where man brought up to be
sentenced was ever turned loose. Every
person present says that the effort was
the finest one ever heard. The negro is
uneducated and common field-hand.

all About the Big City.

Very few people have very definite
idea of the size Of New York city. The
home of ], ,25O, 900 persons-the probable
population of to.day-is rather large
place. The city is sixteen miles long
and four and half miles broad at the
broadest point. The area is forty.one
and a half square miles; or 26,560 acres.
OF this, little more than half is on
Manhattan Island; that is, the Island
measures twenty-five square miles, a lit
over $4,000 acres. There are some $4,000
colored people, mostly mixed. The city
has about 400 churches, with seating Ca
pacity of about 25O, 900 in the aggregate.
There are about fifteen public parks,
fourteen public libraries and twenty-four
theatres. Central Park is the largest,
and contains $40 acres, within which
have been planted some 100000 trees,
shrubs and vines. There are statutes or
busts of Shakespeare, Sir Walter Scott,
Schiller, Humboldt, Mazzini, Morse,
Webster and Halleck and that of Col
umbus is in keeping in the arsenal build
ing within the park. There are three
lines of elevated railroad running
through the city, the main direction of
which is north and south. The fare is
ten cents, except for two hours in the
evening, when it is half that. There are
twenty.four lines of horse cars and eight
branches, making thirty-two routes; OF
which twenty.one are up and down town.
The fares are three, five, six and eight
cents; all except three being five. There
are four. lines of omnibuses; fare five
cents; Eating houses are almost innu-
merable as to number and infinite as to
variety. They range from Delmonico's,
which is high-toned, up to the verge of
princely extravaganza, down to the
flthiest free lunch counter in "Nigger
Town." on Thompson street; and be-
tween these there are restaurants
cafes, chop houses, oyster saloons, pen
ny restaurants, fifteen cent restaurants,
dairies, coffee and cake saloons, Europe
an plan dining rooms, hash houses, and
80 on and so on, down till memory fails
to recall the names and ones gorge rises
at the nauseous recollection. Beer is
very much drunk. Two years ago the
local breweries turned out 100000 bar
rels year, and do more now, while the
quantity consumed is largely in excess of
that manufactured. Probably 100000
barrels of lager bear are consumed yearly
in this city of Gotham. The price is five
cents glass everywhere. Book bieris in
season at this time, and will be on hand
for week or two. The custom is uni
versal of serving this for short period
every spring.--Corsair, in Columbia Aler-

WHY GRANT VOTED FOR BUCHANAN.
Il never was a Democrat. My father
was an old line Whig-he spoke and
wrote good deal on politics-and I had
enough confidence in his judgment to
adopt his views when was young, and I
never felt like joining the Democratic
party. But I did vote for Buchanan.
Not because I was Democrat or because
believed in Buchanan, but to vote
against Fremont. saw the war coming
at that time-it seemed to me it was
bound to come, and 1 did not believe
Fremont would be equal to the occasion.
This is the way looked at It'll Buchan.
an should be elected the South wouldn't
have any reason to break loose during
his term, and when the four years should
pass the right man might be found to
meet the emergency. 1t came out very
much as l thought it would. I think if
Fremont had been elected, the trouble
would have come sooner, and he would
have been the wrong man to meet it. So
I voted for Buchanan. That was the
first vote I ever cast for President, and
the last. When Lincoln ran the first
time hadn't been in Illinois long enough
to vote, and when he ran the second time
1 went for Lee.

To OUR GIRLs.-Now that you are
being courted, you think, of course, it is
all very we'll, and that it will be nicer
when you get married. But it won't.
He thinks he's going to keep on this
high pitch of love all the time. But he
won't. He doesn't know himself and
you don't know him. 1t can't last. 1t
must cool down. When he sees you as
many times day as he wants to and
maybe more, when he sees your head
done up regularly every morning in curl
papers and the bloom is all off the rye,
when your home contains good deal of
wash tub, cradle and cook.stoves, he
won't stand for one hour in front of the
house out in the cold watching the light
in your window. He'll be thinking
rather, getting out of the house. Young
woman, protect this courtship as long as
you can. Let we'll enough alone. A
courtship in hand is worth two marriages
in the bush. Don't marry till Christmas
after next.-M. Y. Graphic.
