Chief Justice fancy has the misfortune
to be associated in the minds of the peo
pie with the judicial championship OF sla-
very. His fame as jurist has, except
among lawyers been overshadowed by
his Dred Scot decision, by which alone
the great majority Of his countrymen re-
member him. Before the American Bar
Association on Thursday Hon. Clarkson
n. Potter paid glowing tribute to Chief
Justice Taney, who, he said, no less than
Marshall arrested the attention of lawyers
and of citizens all over the land and con-
trbuted to maintain the reverence and
admiration which had ccntered around

There was 10 objection to DR.. Ham
mond or any other physician rendering
his services at the White House, but
when the offer was politely declined he
ought to have accepted it with the grace
of discreet department. Above all, he
should have ahstaincd from reckless and
savage criticism Of the physicians who
were retained and some of whom, at least
are at the top Of the profession. If DR..
Hammond wanted only noteriety, he has
written and interviewed himself into as
much of it as any man not a glutton
could crave.

Vincent Tracy took the paper, yel-
lowed by age, and glanced over it.
Then he handed it back to his sister,
saying: " '4

mo, Gertie. 1t was all because of
the way the money was invested
Lawyer Grey advised that it should
be taken from the bank and put into
insurance stock. Then came those
fires in Chicago, and afterward in
Boston, and some Of the best comp
anies burst up. Our money went
with them. Say, Gertrude" as a
thought struck him, "let US try and
find who it was that grandmother
meant by those initials. If he was
smart he may have made u fortune
out Of her loan, and might be willing
to give US back what he borrowed.

Gertrude smiled at Vincent's boy
ish speech, as she said, quietly:
"Wouldn't it be better to coax for.

"That depends on circumstances.
Women, of course, have to be silky
and smooth-faced to get along"
"And men have to ape their boards,
and be rough. Is that the idea,
brother mine?"
Vincent laughed. "That's it, sis,
exactly. But let me have another
look at that paper"
He took it in his hand and read
aloud:

Behold this ruinl Twas skull
Once Of ETHEREAL spirit full.
This narrow cell was Lifc's Retreat,
This space was Thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spot2
What dreams OF pleasure, long forgot?
Nor hope, nor JOY, nor love, nor fear,
Lave left one trace of record here.
Beneath this inouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eyes;
But staftnot at the dismal void
II sociatloye that eye employed,
II with-no lawless fire il cleaned,
But through the dews Of Kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cayernhung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue;
II Falsehood's honey it tdisdained,
And when il could not praise was chained,
II bold in Virtues cause It spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue shall plead for thee =
When Time unveils Eternity. ..s4 81
Say, did these fingers delve the mine2
Or with the envied rnbies shine?

Can little now avail to them.

Or comfort to the mourner brought,

Than all that waits on Wealth and Fame.

These feet the paths of duty trod?

Happy Sniffles.
Its long lane which has no turn

suffering. but irrepressible friend, Sniff
fes. who after 4 long fight against ad-
verse fortune. has struck bonanza.
Hear MIN: I'm no longer the under dog

can go 10 grass. along with their free
tickets, Sc; and some one with less
brilliant prospects than mine can have
all Of my right. title and expectation in
that Frog Level paper. spoken of some
time ago. I'm frying another kind Of
fish now, and no little minnow either,
bat q full grown whale, one of the
spouting kind. I feel better to day !;
felt it coming on this morning as l but
toned my suspenders, before | heard
of the Sigh discovery; even the old
woman noticed how swelled and what
a stiff upper lip carried. Goodness,
gracious" says she. "what's the matter
with yon, Sniifies, you look as if you
had been taking castor lie, or Zoedone.
or may he it was the baccy-lawrate
sermon Sunday. Woman" says /.
Its not expected that one Of yonr
short-sighted kind can see into the in
ner man, can fathom his depth, can tell
whether it's oil that makes him heave,
or Zoedone, or sermon that wakes his
soul. III let this much get through
your head, It's mine at last, fortune
smiles, and tie world is al my feet.
Henceforth no pent up Utica contracts
my powers, the boundless continent is
-is-mine, not ours; bnt cease your
gossip, and hurry up the flap-jacks, I've
an appetite, my souls in arms, and
eager for the'-morning meal. I'm so
glad this is commencement week, so
many big bugs are here, and many of
them preachers, men deeply concerned
in my scheme, that of chicken culture.
The thing was demonstrated only a few
days ago on the Sigh place, where a
healthy, lively chicken was hatched
in the sand by the suns rays. III buy
An old field. innocent of trees, and sow
eggs broad cast, and with a patent ga
therer take up the young chicks world
without end, and preachers and people
can have their fill ; conferences, conven-
tons and christian associations can be
held here every day in the week, Sun
days included, and nobody get hurt. I
tell you I'm on the high road TO fortune,
and my declining yea will blossom as
the roses and postcrity will raise mon
ument to the man who raised chickens
by the thousand.
Full fifty years Ive wasted,
In trouble, sweat and pain,
And few good things have tasted,
But Richards himself again"

PROSPERITY HIGH SCHOOL.
A Highly CreditabIe Close to Success
full Year.

The interest that The people of Pros
perity have shown and are still showing
in tie education of their children does
them great credit. They are fu! !ly a
wake to the importance Of the subject.
A year ago the citizens Of this flourish
ing village erected a neat and commo-
iious School Building, at cost Of
$1,000, and fitted it up with convenient
and comfortable school-room furniture.
The High School was opened in this
building in September 1880. The year
that has just closed has been prosperous
and successful, even beyond the most
sanguine expectations. There have
been 135 pupils in attendance, the NUM-
Der of males and females being about
equal 22..of the pupils were boarders,
from a distance. The health Of the
school has been remarkably good. The
progress of the pupils has seen alike
satisfactory 10 teachers and patrons.
The School is fortunate in having an
excellent corps Of teachers. The Prln-
cipal, Prof. CIV. Welch, is a graduate
of Newberry College and he is ably
assisted by Prof. D. G. Lake, a gradu-
ate of Woford, Rev. J. c. Boyd, d grad
uatc of Erskine, and Dr.. j. D. Bruce,
Lecturer on Physiology and Hygiene.
A music department., with a competent
teacher, will be added next session.
The following Trustees have been
elected for the ensuing year Rev. }.
A. Sigh, J. T. P. Crosson, R. T. G.
Hunter, J. NJ. Wheeler, Francis Bobb,
l.. S. Bowers. C. +. Boyd, DR.. r. L. Lu-
ther and DR.. j. D. Bruce.
The Closing Exercises Of the High
School were held in Luther q Domi-
hicks Hall Thursday, tile 10th instant,
before large audience. The following
was the programme of the exercises :
Essay by Miss Laura F. MeFall sub
iect, "Onr Indebtedness to Society,""
Essay By Miss Sallie NJ. Wise sub
iect, The Fall of the Roman Empire".
The former essay a'as read by Gen. Y.
j. Pope, the latter by Col. c. II. suber.
The question (Which is More Friend
II to Learning, a Republic or Mon
.irchy", was debated in the affirmative
by NJ. H. J. Epting and II. II. Rikard,
and in the negative by S j. Wheeler
and H. P. Counts.
The ESSAYS were written with great
care and good taste, and reflected much
credit on their fair authors. The
.speechcs of the young debaters were
Ssod indeed. both in their preparation
andthei. delivery.
Teachers and pupils have just cause
to be proud ofso happy a close to such a
successful year. :,
The pleasure Of the evening was much
enhanced by the excellent music inr-
nished by Mrs. kiblef, DR.. hldgtli, Af'
