THE COMRT-Iss2.

Mysterious stranger from the realms OF spacei
What is thy origin, where Is thy place,
Amidst the countless orbs that roll on high,
In silence deep and ample majesty?
Art thou some erring. dlsobedient world
For lawlessness 10 endless ruin hurl'd?
Or some bless'd star on heavenly mission sent,
With ranSom'd souls thro' Gods vast firma-
ment;
Revealing fully to their wondering sight,
Unnumbered worlds, and systems Infinite?
Zen now. II may be. ON thy golden strand
Are Newtons, Herschels-all that noble band,
Who sought on earth Gods wonders TO un-
fold
Who told us much. but left much moro untold.
Whate'er thou art, thy presence clearly
proves
That God is love, and all His creatures loves.
Tis He that keejS thee In thy rapid flight,
Unharmed, unharming other worlds OF light.
Zen thus he wills that each mans life should
be
A path of light, from sin and danger free.
Lord give us grace, our course on earth 70
run
To do Thy will, as now in heaven It's done.
It. B. LEE.

AFTER A WHILE.

There is a strange, sweet solace in tho thought
That all the woes we suffer here below
May, as dark and hideous garment wrought
For us TO wear, whether we win or no.
Be cast aside, with relieving smile
After little while.
No mortal roaming but hath certain end;
Though far unto the ocean-spaces gray
We sail and sail, without chart for friend,
Above the skyline, faint and far away,
There looms at last the one enchanted isle
After little while.
Oh, when our cares come thronging thick and
fast,
With more of anguish than the heart can
bear,
Though friends desert, and, as the needless
blast
Even love pass by us with a stony stare,
Let us withdraw into some ruined pile,
Or lonely forest aisle.
And contemplate the never-ceasing change
Whereby the process OF God are wrought,
And from our petty lives our souls estrange
Till, bathed in currents OF exalted thought,
We feel the rest that must our cares beguile
After n little while.

The Transit of Venus.

After being industrial, musical az d
artistic in Charleston this week, let
Ed 5e6eld be scientific next week, and
send a delegation to Aiken to see the
Transit of Venus. This great assron-
omical event is to take place on
Wednesday the 9th December. The
delegation of German astronomers
and the delegation of French astron-
omers are both in the field, vieing
with each other. Both delegations,
if we mistake not, have erected OBJ
servatories; and their telescopes aud
instruments, lately arrived, are said
to weigh thousands of pounds. We
outside people, so it is said, will OBJ
serve nothing strange, as it is only by
means of powerful instruments that
the Transit can be seen. The transit
occurred lest in 1874-eight years
ago. Before that, it had not occur
red in 1901 years. And after this,
it will not occur again until the ex-
piration of 1853 years.

Col. o. F. Cheatham Holds the
Clerks 0Gce.

The question involving the legality
of the elections held for clerk Of
court, sheriff andsceroner in several
Of the counties of the State came up
before the State Board Of Canvassers
in Columbia on Friday last. Some
time ago 4 General Youmans
announced it as his opinion that un-
der the statute no election could be
held this year for clerk of court in
any other counties than Berkeley.
In spite of this opinion elections
were held in Hampton, Edgefeld,
Horny and Kershaw Counties for
clerk of court.
In Edgefeld County Mr.. James G.
Williams, in Hampton County, Mr..
W. G. Causey, in Horny County, Mr..
Julius Anderson, and in Kershaw
County, Mr.. .. Clyburn, were candi
dates for clerk of the court at the re-
cent election and were declared elect
ed by the county canvassers.
Before the board of cauvassers on
Friday, Clyburn appeared in person,
Messrs. Williams and Cheatham, the
contesting parties in Edge6eld Coun-
ty, in person and by counsel, aid Mr..
Anderson, of Horny County, by coun.
sci; Mr.. MCGOWAN Simkins appear
ing for Mr.. Williams, and Col. F. W.
McMaster for Mr.. Anderson.
In presenting the case of his cli-
ent Mr.. Simkins contended that the
Constitution fixed the term of Office
for clerk Of court at four years and
that the Legislature could rot inter
fere with it. Col. Cheatham, the
present incumbent of the office of
clerk of court for Edgefeld County,
was elected in 1878.
Col. McMaster argued for the Hor-
~ contestant upon the same general
line, and contended that the Legisla-
ture could not change the term Of Of
fee Of officers elected under the Con-
stitution without violating their con-
rights.
After discussing the points involv-
ed in these cases, the board of can
vassers disposed of the matter by
adopting resolution to the effect
that elections for clerk of court in
counties other than Berkeley were
1ot held in accordance with the stat
lte laws and are illegal.
The cases arising out of the cleo
ions for clerk of court in Horny and |
Counties will very likely
De taken to the Supreme Court and
'rgued upon the constitutional ques
ions involved. The board of can
'assers were not unanimous in their
'iews upon the questions involved.
