"CONFEDERATE BRlGiDIEES."

We hear less about the ''rcbcl brig
adicrs in Congress than formerly
Zen Butler once wanted to be elected
to the House To meet and overthrow
them, but in this war he has won no
victories. On the whole the "rcbcl
brigadicrs' behave very well, and are
more peaccablc and patriotic than
others who never fought against the
Union. Tie highest of the cx rebel
officers who have entered public life
since the war arc Gen. Gordon of
Georgia, Gen. Johnston Of Virginia,
and Gen. Hampton Of South Caro-
lima, all of whom were in that august
body, the National Senate. We can
only say we wish there were more of
the same kind in the Senate Boston

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE A. 1880,
GRADED SCHOOLS.

We clip the following from cor
rcspondcncc TO the Columbia regis
ter" from Chester: sin an cduca-
tlonal point of view, Chester is Ger
talnly behind no other town in the
State. Recognizing the value of
local taxation, her citizens adopted
that system in January, 1870, and
and find. that it works successfully.
The graded school, now under Tie
Supcrlntendcncy of Prof. w. ii.
W Ithcrow, has IN attendance of about
23O pupils, with five teachers. The
school boiIding is Il model Of beauty
and tas,c, and is splcndidlv equipped
with elegant furniture. The colorcd
people also have Il very llourishing
school, under the management OF I,
krv. loomis, from the North. The
system of supporting schools by
local taxation is DO longer IN un-
tried affair; but after two years cx-
pcricnce ut Winnsboro, and more
than one at this place, proves to be
the very system which every town in
South Carolina needs, and should
unhcsltatinglv adopt Why can't

A Fish Story.

A Boston correspondent of Forest and
Stream tells the following remarkable
story: The scene is laid in Long Island,
where, on the shore of pond, the cor
respondent was watching the play of
swallows as they kimmed just over the
surface of the water shortly before sun
set. "About a hundred yards out was
bed of lily pads; and as the swallows
skipped it, occasionally good sized
ripple could be seen, and sometimes
break from the edges indicating fish
there. This fastened my attention to
the particular place. had often seen
cats play with swallows swooping at
them, but the idea of fish doing the
same was something new to me. Pres
emily saw a clean breach, and a fine
large pickerel showed his whole size
and got a swallow, too, as he dlsap-
peared beneath the water. This L saw
repeated several times, and called the
attention of nv companion to this novel
sight. While we were watching we
saw two large fish break at the same
swallow, the fish coming from opposite
directions, and each head on to each.
Both missed the swallow, but, singular
to relate, only one fish was seen to fall
into the water, and neither was seen to
pass the other. My companion and my
self looked with wonder. There was q
great commotion in the water with
Continuous scattering, and boat being
handy we jumped in and rowed to the
spot, and picked up the largest pone
pickerel ever saw. When we had HIN

the weather be favorable. They should
be planted as early as the soil will do to
work after the frost leaves it. They re-
quire light culture, sufficient to keep the
ground clean and free from weeds.
The plant spreads by sending creeping
stems out in every direction, until the
soil is completely occupied by them.
At every joint or node tuber will be
formed, and shoot will spring up.
The tubers begin to ripen at the center
of the hill, in July, but are not all ready
to harvest until frost. Harvesting is
very tedious, but the pigs and hens will
harvest them if permitted to do so. l

The other night, when certain De-
troit club had gathered in its hall, a
member announced the serious illness of
one of the officials. A second member
at once moved to the platform and said !:
Gentlemen, no one can regret this
sad news more than do. 1t seems to
me that the occasion calls for few re-
marks expressive of sympathy and con-
dolence. do not wish to occupy your
valuable time, but feel it duty to say
of the ailing brother
Here member came up stairs and
announced that the person was dead.
He had just heard the news on the
street.

speaker, remarks eulogistic of his
many virtues, are certainly in order after
this announcement, and l can go ahead
without fear of transgressing upon the
time of the club. We all knew the de-
ceased. We were all familiar with his
many noble traits of character. A
brother has died and King has fallen
1t will be long ere we -"
Here another dilatory member put il
an appearance and announced that the
person referred to was not dead or ever
i'll, but was in perfect health. Withou
the least change of countenance thu
speaker continued:
"That being the case, deem it my
duty to indulge in few remarks on thu
happiness we all must feel at knowing
that our dear brother still lives. Lif,
is but span, and man cometh up lik'
flower and is cut down. The familia
faces beside us to-day may rest in tn,
grave tomorrow. Death comes so 81
lently and swiftly that"
Here the person himself entered tn
hall, having been detained beyond hi
usual time by some occurrence on tn
street. The speaker didn't seem in tn
least put out, but waved his ham
around the hall and said:
81 certainly am not trespassing upol
the valuable time of the club when
say that we all rejoice to see our brothe
here. / am now more than ever cor
