We have determined to place the
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE during
the coming year within the reach Of
every man, woman and child in the
land. Our purpose is to cop up it's
high standard as g. thoroughly relia-
BILE newspaper. We will, in additsoa
to the usual latest Geographic news
from all parts of the world, give reli-
able market reports, the best discus
sion of practical agricultural ques-
tons, the choicest and most reliable
miscellaneous selections, religious in
telligence and everything to be found
in the metropolitan weeklies. Our
policy in the past in regard to polit-
ical affairs will be our policy in the
future. We shall support the prin-
ciples of the republican party, in
the devotion to which we yield to
none, but in doing this, we will treat
those who differ with us, courteously
and respectfully.

report shows that there is, in every
township, an increase in the Janu.
airy enumeration over that made in
June. This is partly due to the
natural increase, which might easily
be in seven months p per cent,
and partly to changes in population.
The report further shows that it is
more difficult to make an absolutely
correct enumeration in Southern
than IN Northern States on account
of the location Of the dwelling
honsea. As rule Northern houses
are placed upon highways; as rule
in the South houses are not so
placed. The families in the North>
ern States are supplied with water
from wells; in the Southern States
they are supplied with water from
springs or running streams, and
hence it is the proximity to nat-
ural water supply which determines
the location Of houses. In conclu-
sion, Mr.. Walker says: 4 cannot
but believe, however, that the re-
suit which I have now the honor to
announce, will be accepted as con-
elusive in favor Of the integrity Of
the work done in June under the
authority of the ~everal supervisors
Of South Carolina.

SUNDAY, JAN. p 1881.

IT is positively known that the
refunding bill never would have
passed had not a dozen or more
members of the House voted for it
against their personal convictions,
but in full confidence that the Sem
ate will amend the measure so as
to create loan which can undoubt-
edly be foated at par. The gem
tlemen who voted for the bill against
their convictions were induced to do
so for fear that if the bill failed to
pass there would be no refundiDg
legislation, and an extra session of
the Forty-seventh Congress might
be ne cessary. It can safely be as
serted that Hutchins, Ketcbam,
Bliss, Morrison and Mills will agree
in Senate amendment, either rails
ing the rate Of interest on bonds to
b per cent, or increasing the time
the 3 per cent. bonds are to run
from ten to twenty years more than
the bill just passed provides for. If
these gentlemen voted against the
bill it would have been defeated,
and an extra session of Congress
would have beeu much more proba-
bic than it appears at the present
writing.

FRANCIs A. WALKER, superins
tendent of census, in his report in
regard to the South Carolina census
says that on receiving oral instruc>
tions from the President to send
a staff of special agents from his
Office to South Carolina to conduct
q enumeration by a house-to-
house canvass of q certain number
of townships, with the view to
further test the results Of the June
enumeration, he detailed T. G. But
terfeld, late supervisor of census
for Vermont, as chief special agent
to conduct the proposed re-enumer-
alton. Timothy Quinn, of New
York, J. B. Burt, Of Massachusetts,
John B Olster, of Maryland, and
0. P. D. Stone, Of Michigan, were
appointed to assist. These gentle
men were selected because of their
known ability and integrity, and
also on account Of the fact that
they have been accustomed to
mounted service in rugged and diff
fcult country, all of them having
been in the Army of the United
States. Eight townships, situated
in as many different counties were
chosen for RECOMMENDATION. Two
townships were assigned to each oil
the four assistant special agents
The schedules Of the inhabitants re-
turned in the June enumeration
were placed in the hands of thu
chief special agents. The assist
ants were not shown these SEIZED
ules, but were required to perform
their work alb initis, without refer
ence to the first enumeration. Thei
note books containing the descrip
ton of every house in the town
ships as to location, material ant
general character, together with tn
name of each member of tn
family resident therein, were to b
submitted to the chief, whose head
quarters were at Columbia, and wht
was instructed to make carefu
comparison, name by name, of tn
results Of the two enumerations
The townships in the counties
Abbeville, Barnwell, Chesterfield
Fairfield, Laurens, Lexington, Ma
rion and Williamsburg were selecte'
because Of the great apparent IN
crease of the population over 1870
gave the most ground for suspicion
The result of the June count wa
21,011 and of the recount was 81,

A GOOD CHANCE FOR SOLIrUDE.-Far
out in the Atlantic, one hundred and
eghtv-four miles very nearly due west oil
st. Kilda and two hundred and ninety
miles from the nearest part Of the main
land of Scotland, there is a great stack
which rises to a height OF seventy feet
above the water, and at distance has
been mistaken for vessel under full sail.
The upper part is inhabited by vast num-
bers of sea-fowl. The name of the stack
is Rockall. The great sand bank from
which it arises ahounds with cod. For
nearly two years man, through the
columns of the London Spectator, has
been calling the attention of various scien-
tific societies and individuals to the suita
bility of Rockall for meteorological sta.
ton, and has been offering, under certain
conditions, to reside there alone for a
twelve month, and take series of obser-
vations. With foundation of seventy
feet above the sea, or even less, he says,
there would be no difficulty in fixing a
house upon Rockall which would laugh at
the wind and spray. One chamber would
do, and it could be made of stout timber
locked to ring, bolts, or to be built of con-
crete, If connected by telegraph to the
mainland Rockall would, this person
thinks, be an agreeable residence; and
even in its isolated state it would be en-
durable enough if the occupant was cheer
ed by the reflection that he was pioneer
in noble cause. A little money would
be well spent in trying to make storm
warnings more reliable then they have
been of late. Besides meteorological OBJ,
servations, an observer posted on Rockall
might. if properly instructed, be able to
throw little light on oceanic circulation,
temperature, etc.

SELF-MADE POVERTY would not say
half word against poverty. Whenever
it comes it is a bitter pill; but you will
mark, if you notice carefully, that while
a few are poor because of unavoidable
circumstances, a very large mass of the
poverty of London is the sheer and clear
result of profuseness, idleness, and worst
of all, drunkenness. Ah, that drunken
ness. That is the worst evil. If drink
could be got rid of we might be sure of
conquering the very devil himself. The
drunkenness created by the Internal liquor
dens the plague spot of this huge city, is
appalling No, do not speak in haste or
let slip hasty word; many of the drink
houses are nothing less than Internal; in
some respects they are worse, for hell has
its uses as divine protest against sin, out
as for the gin-palace there is nothing to
be said in its favor. The vices Of the age
cause three e-fourths of all the poverty. II
you could look at the homes tonight, the
wretched homes where women will trem-
BILE at the sound of their husbands foot as
he comes home, where little children will
crouch down with fear upon their little
heap of straw because the human brute
who calls himself "a man" will come
r cling home from the place where he has
been induIging his appetites-if you look
at such II sight and remember it will be
seen ten thousand times over tonight,
think you would say, God help us to
save some" Since the great AK to lay
at the root of the deadly upas tree is the
gospel of Christ, may God help US to hold
the TX there, and to work constantly with
it till the huge trunk of the poison tree
begins to rock to and fro, and we get it
down. and London is saved from the
wretchedness and misery which now drip
from every bough.-Spurgeon.

ONE STEP AT A TME.-George Man.
ming had almost decided to become a
Christian. One doubt held him back.
How can | know he said to himself,
that even if do begin a religious life, |
shall continue faithful, and finally reach
HeavenP He wanted to see the whole
way there before taking the first step.
While in this state of indecision and un.
happiness. he one evening sought the house
OF his favOrite professor-fOr he was a
college student at the time-and they
talked for several hours upon the all
absor bing topic. But the conversation
ended without dispelling his fears or
bringing him any nearer the point of
decision. When he was about to 90 home
the professor accompanied him to the
door, and observing how dark the night
was, prepared lantern, and handing it to
his friend, said, George, this little light
will not show you the whole way to your
room, but only one step at time; but
take that step, and you will reach your
home in safety 1t proved the word in
season. AS George walked along the
path, frightened by the little lantern, the
truth flashed through bis mind, dispelling
the last shadow of doubt. why can l
not trust my Heavenly Father he said to
himself, even if can't see my way clear
to the end, if He gives me light to take

Him. He could hardly wait till he
reached bis room to fall on his knees and
thank God for the peace and joy that filled
his soul. Early next morning the profess
sor was summoned to the door. There he
found George Manning. With beaming
face he looked up to his teacher, and as
he handed him the lantern. said signifi
cantly; Doctor, your little lamp lighted
me all the way home last night

AS fol lows:
1.-The strong attachment of subscribers

looked by those who have become attached
to it, through its perusal, for years. They
sometimes become dissatisfied with it on
account OF something which has slipped
into its columns, and may stop taking it;
but the absence of the familiar sheet at
their homes and offices for few weeks
becomes an insupp 'rtable privation, and
they hasten to take it again, and possibly
apologize for having it stopped. No
friendship on earth is more constant than
that contracted by the reader for journal
which makes an honest and earnest effort
to merit its continued support. Hence a
conscientiously conducted paper becomes II

A DOMESTIC CREATURE,-"1 have got

the domestic utensils, and describe their
uses. This, for instance, is washboard.

vegetables which are put into tub OF

let me see now what are they used for.
Oh, yes; they are used for cracking the
nuts for dessert.and for driving nails upon

knife; it is used for scallopng the oysters.
Scalloped oysters are fashionable. They
look very pretty when stewed, with their
edges like Hamburg trimmings. This is

this, and then strain through straner to
separate the shells from the meat. This

Coon HABITS. Men are born with the
power of making themselves what they
please. The habit of doing well or poor
ly, is but another name for willing to do
so. A man may habiuate his muscles to
idleness and inaction till they are worth
less in accomplishing any physical good.
So he may t y inattention and worse. All
of this is traceable to the fact that he is
willing to do so. And when one wills to
become Industrious, form better habits, at
tain to method all he undertakes, com
monty called turning over new leaf, "
his bad habits are found to have become a
great burden to him. 1t all began with
his will that it should be. and hence the
importance of comprehension of this will
power. A writer has said that the habit
of self-control is but the accumulation of
continued acts of self-denial for a worthy
object, the repeated authority of reason
over impulse, judgment over inclination,
sense over desire. One who can govern
himself with judgment and intelligence,
and without fear. has the secret OF all true
power. Such a one can boast of liberty.
He is free man. The will of self control
does not diminish. but constantly in
creases in strength. and there is scarcely
any limit to Its attainments. Too few
seem to realize this important truth.

How A Boy WAS POISONED In one Of
the public schools of Brooklyn, a boy
thirteen years old, naturally very quick
and bright, was found to be growing dull
and titful, His face was pale, and he had
nervous twitchings. He had to leave
school. Inquiry showed that he had be-

When asked why he did not give it up, he
she'd tears, and said he had often tried, bu,
could not. The growth of this habit is
insidious, and its effects ruinous. The
eyes, the brain, the nervous system. the
memory, the power of application, all are
impaired by it. "It's nothing but cigar.

STICK TO 1T AND SUCCEED.-Persever
ance is the main thing in life To hold on
and hold out to the end is the chief matter.
If the race could be won by spirit,
thousands would wear the blue ribbon !;
but they are short winded and pull up
after the first gallop. They begin with
flying, and end with crawling backward.
When it comes to the collar work. many
take the jibing.
If the apples do not fall at the first
shake of the tree, your hasty folks are too
lazy to fetch a ladder, and in too much of
hurry to wait till the fruit is ripe enough
to fall off itself. Tie hasty man is as hot
as fire at the onset, and as cold rs ice at
the end. He is like the Irishman's sauce
pan, which had many good points about
it. bat had no bottom. He who cannot
bear the burden and heat of the day is not
worth his salt, much less his potatoes.
We ought not to be put out of heart by
difficulties; they are sent on purpose to
try the stuff we are made of and depend
upon it, they do us a world of good.
There's reason why there are bones in
our meat and stones in oul land. world
where everything was easy would be a
nursery for babies, but not at all fit
place for men. Celery is not sweet till il
has felt frost, and men don't come to
their perfection till disappointment has
dropped half hundred weight or two on
their toes.
