GEN. HANcoCK's letter of acceptance |
is manly in utterance and dignifed in
tone, and in this respect in great contrast
to that of Mr.. English One fault has
been charged against it, viz that it is
not Democratic letter at all, as compar-
cd with Gl platform expressions Of the
three previous National conventions. 1t
is writtc' " harmony with the war and
nsis inns that the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to
the National Constitution "are inviola-
ble," and says, ''if called to the Presi-
dency, I should deem it my duty to resist
with all of my power any attempt to i'm
pa;r or evade the full force and effect of
the Constitution, which every article,
section and amendment, is the supreme
law of the land" He indorses the "Ciyil
Service" reform in fixing high standard
for Office, while sternly ejecting the cor
rupt and incompetent, and holding that
public 0fice is trust, not a bounty be
slowed upon the holder. He says al
classes share alike in the blessings of th'
Union and that if elected his bushes
will be to defend the Union and see tina
the laws are faithfully and equally execu
ted in all parts of the country alike
these are words that his strongest politi
cal opponent must approve, and as tn
sentiments of Gen. Hancock, who is tn
standard bearer of his party, mustbegin il
application to the present canvass to hav
practical weight and force. 1t is know
that in at least six Southern States ther
is not and has not because of intimids
tions and tissue ballots, been for wears
free and full vote. When he saws thu
he would have the claws faithfully an
equally executed in all parts of the countr
alike" it is hoped that he has expressed
sentiment in harmony with the constit.
tion, and its amendments that no citize
shall be denied the right of full and fire
citizenship.

TIE sickness of Mr.. Gladstone, the
Premier Of England, excites interest on
both sides of the Atlantic, and it is pleas
ant to know that his condition has not
changed for the worse, and is now an
nounced to be satisfactory" 1t would
be great loss to the cause Of liberalism
and progress, which is The same all the
world over, if the labors Of the leader
whose parry is the main hope of England
should be suddenly cut short.

DIR. TANNER seems about to surprise

Ir is gratifying that thus far the Yellow
Fever has not visited our Southern States.
Perhaps they have learned a lesson in re-
gard to drainage and cleanliness that has
worked the desired result. 1t generally
gains foothold in July and continues to
increase until frost, when it either dies
from lack of material or from the cold
weather which ensues.

A Confederate Hero.

A Camden, S. c., correspondent of
the New York Times relates the follow
ing:
Richard Kirkland was the son of John
Kirkland, an estimable citizen of Ker-
shaw County, q plain, substantial farm
er of tho olden time. In 1861 he en-
tered, as a private, in Captain j. d.
Kennedy's company (E) of the second
South Carolina volunteers. in which
company he was sergeant in Decem-
ary battle of Fredericksburg, Kershaw's 8
brigade occupied the road at the foot of
Marye's hill and the grounds about Ma
rye's house, the scene of their desperate
defense of the day before. One hun
dred and fifty yards in front of the road,
the stone facing of which constituted
the famous stone wall, lay Sykes divis-
ion of regulars, United States army, be-
tween whom and our troops a murder
Gus skirmish occupied the whole day,
fatal to many who heedlessly exposed
themselves, even for q moment. The
ground between the line was bridged
with the wounded, dead and dying fed
gallant assaults Of that column of thirty
thousand brave men hurled vainly
against that impregnable position.
All that day those wounded men rent
the air with their groans and their
agonizing cries of Water! waterr'
In the afternoon the General sat in the
north room up stairs of Mrs. Stevens
house in front Of the road surveying the
field, when Kirkland came up. With
an expression Of indignation pervading
his person, his manner and tones of his
voice, he said: :. General, 1 can tstand
this" "What is the matter. Ser
geante" asked the General. He re-
piled: IAN night and all day have

what seemed to be an unusual disturb
ance on the surface of the water, di-
reetly, under u heavy cloud coming
from the windward, the wind blowing
heavily from the northwest and q heavy
surf rolling. The tops of the waves as
sumed the spirally ascending motion
creased until the elevation was upward
of fifty feet before the water took the
cloud form. This was soon followed
bY q second, about mile off shore,
similar to the first, but considerably
larger, its height, Judging from the an
gle of elevation, being nearly one thou
sand feet The top of this also re-
solved into q fog or mist directly under
the cloud. Then, at . distance Of about
four miles, . third one was plainly dis
cernable, which seemed to meet the
sky at the rear of the cloud, and which
must have covered an area of several
.ncres. All three of these spouts were
moving with the wind, and the first or
smallest one subsidized to the water
level only a few rods from the beach.
Immediately there was sharp dash Of
rain, followed by a hail squa1l, as the
disturbing cloud passed over, and when
this subsided, SO that q view Of the
Sound could again be obtained, the wa
terspouts had disappeared. So far as
known, these were the only water

two or three miles, and was in q num-
Der of places very deep. 1t was fed by

SPRING CLorHNG.-The reappear-
ance of green lawns, bright sunshine
and singing birds is quite calculated to
allure one to adopt light flannels and
less protecting coverings. Bear con-
stantly in mind, that air in motion is
colder than air at rest. With March
winds, the thermometer above the
freezing point may entirely misrepre-
sent the effective temperature. We
have before illustrated this proposition
by referring to the habit of using fan
in summer. When the thermometer is
in the nineties and the face is bathed
with perspiration, one is able to keep
comfortably cool by air set in motion
by that little device we call q fan. It
is questionable if in the New England,
Middle and Western States the clothing
should not be thicker and warmer in
March than in January.-Dr. Foote's
Health Monthly for March.

to speak Of 3 golden or silver age. We
are certainly justified in calling our
century the age Of paper. Architec-
ture has taken possession -of paper,
and gives us paper cornices, shells and
ornaments Of all kinds. The whole in
terror Of a church In Norway, with its
bas-reliefs, consists of this material.
Paper men stare at rs in our clothing
houses. Boats, casks, girders, and q
thousand other things boast OF the
same material a. the most delicate
silk and tissue paper, the mighty,
though thin. bank note and greenback.
What degrees of the same material do
not display themselves from the thick.
blue sugar paper which, covered
with chalk. was formerly regarded as a
patent medical remedy, to the elegant
letter paper, or those beautiful imita-
tions Of the floral kingdom. Paper col
lars and cuffs are now in general use
with US, and so were during the last
century paper dresses with the ladies
at Paris, an invention of the lace mer-
chant Boileau, who made them of Chi
nese silk paper. A writer of that time
tells us "Those light dresses caused q
great deal of pleasure to the ladies in
time of summer, but a great deal of
displeasure to their husbands, fathers
and lovers. For the price of such a
dress is twenty-five ivres, and it lasts
only half a day" Chemistry has sue
ceeded in preparing of burnt paper a
patent oil as q remedy against tooth.
ache. A paper reign, which occurred
two hundred years ago in Courland
and another later at Vienna, caused
quite q stir among the learned. The
first, however, found its explanation
and solution in paper that q storm had
taken from a wrecked ship; the other
in remnants of burnt bank-notes. That
Mahommed had not the slightest pre-
sentiment of the immense quantity OF
paper the world at present consumes
and wastes, is clearly shown by the law
he laid down in his Koran, obliging the
orthodox Turk to pick up even the
smaller pieces of paper, for the name
of Allah might be written upon
it. A German proverb says: Paper
is full of patience"-and it is indeed g
very pliable and flexible and patien,
subject in the great empire of industry
and fashion.

"Make the bed easy, MIR. b." said
old Uncle Abe to the undertaken, who
was preparing the coffin for his aged
wife. make the bed soft and easy,
for her old bones are tender and soft,
and a hard bed will hurt them" He
forgot for q moment-that old, gray
haired man-that she was dead; that
the old bones had done aching forever.
Sixty-four years had she walked by his
side, true and loving wife. Sixty-four
years! just think OF it in this age of
divorce. Sixty-four years had they
dwelt under the same sorrows of life;
together mourned over the coffin of
their first born; together rejoiced in
the prosperity of their sons and daugh-
ters, and now she has left him alone.
No wonder he forgot. Her loving
hands had 50 long cared for him, for
he had been the feebler of the two.
"Until death do us part" said the
marriage service that had united them
50 many years ago. Death had parted
them, but the love still survived. Ten
derly had he cared for her, all these
years, and now tenderly did he watch
the making of the last bed of this still
loved wife. He had bravely breasted
the storm of life with her by his side,
but now that she was gone he could not
live, and in few days they laid him by
her side.-Nes0 Orleans Picdyu,se.
