EN,eIsior Mosquito.

The suns last rays wele f;idd Z FAST
When through this quiet eglon passstd
y warm Ct insects that looked so nice,
And meant to bite us In trlce,
Mosquito
SmalI-formed but strong in every part,
Fashioned by the Master Hand" in art;
Their very voices seemed to say,
Be not alarmed we've come to stay
Mosquito!
We sat in terror with brOws serene.
And flnchlngly surveyed the scene;
In happy, joyous tones they sang,
TIL fields and woods with echoes rang
Mosqultol
I'VE can't escape" one victim said.
1.-THE swarm will soon be overhead"
They made no halt, betrayed no fear,
But sang yet louder with voices clear,
MOsQuitol
''Beware" we all with one voice cried,
"What mean you thus on us to bide?'
Undaunted they rushed with dire intent.
And IN our flesh their keen bills sent,
Mosquito!
Strike for our lives we thought was best,
strike we did, but yet no rest
A gT0an, a rub and all gave up
To feel our cOnquer0rs fill their cup,
M0squit0l
The evening over, now hOmeward bound,
some wing their way as vlct0rs crowned;
While we the vanquished sing song
OF freedom from stings we'd suffered long,
MOsqult0i
Others more luckless around us lie,
Left by The wayside to bleed and die;
Their folded wings exposed to view;
Reader this warning speaks to you,
Mosquito!
So now, in short our tale we've told,
Though not an enc of choicest mold,
As each returning eve we see,
Our object of dread must surely be-
Mosquito!

A Call for Relief From Pensacola.

PENSACOLA, FLA. Sept s.-The board
of health bulletin announces nine cases
of yellow fever to-day, the eleventh
day of the scourge. If the disease be-
comes epidemic. which the gloomy as

of pecuniary relief, large proportion
of our residents being strangers to this
people and climate. If this relief comes
too late it might as well not come. as
witness Memphis and Grenada. in 1878;
therefore we appeal to benevolently dis
posed to contribute to our threatened
necessity through the New York Her

section (Spartanburg) where SO
many of those belonging to the gay
circle of Charlotte are spending the
summer and vacation. I have spent
the summer very busily in the
school room, and performing other
duties of kindred nature. This
section has been heretofore destitute
of any schools other than those
which have been taught by students
from Biddle and Scotia during va
cation for the last four or five years,
two or three months each summer;
but the people are now beginning
to recognize the fact that education
will aid greatly in bringing about a
proper recognition, and without it
the rights of citizenship are of but
little Importance to them. Hence
steps are being taken by the colored
people of this section to support a
permanent school from their own
resources. Doubtless much of the
interest which is being manifested
is due in large measure to the re-
cent registration law of this State,
which will hinder the illiterate from
voting, thereby legalizing fraud, or
it is a legalized dodge of the fifteenth
amendment. The colored teachers
of this county met in convention on
the 4th and 9Th of August. The
object was an interchange OF ideas
on the various modes of teaching.
Its age is four years, but to regu-
lar attendant, the last was more of a
success than any other, because
there was a better representation Of
teachers than heretofore, and more
interest was manifested than at any
previously held. This is doubtless
due to the increase Of intelligence
among the teachers, which enables
them to appreciate its Importance.
There was a pleasing evidence in
the advancement of the art of teach
ing, as was shown in the remarks
and other exercises. Notwithstand-
ing this the convention was COM
posed of raw material, and however
meagerly the various subjects rela-
tive to teaching were discussed, all
in attendance were identified, and
returned to their schools with new
ideas. There were also orations,
essays and extracts on the subject of
teaching, but the essays by Misses
N. r. Latham and S. B. Lord, de-
served special attention.
EXHIBITION.
Saturday, the End Of September,
six miles west of Spartanburg c. H.,
S. c., near the Airline railroad is a
school house, which has been occu-
pied two months this summer by
Miss N. E. Latham. Invitations
were extended, announcing that the
closing exercises would take place
on the End instant. The morning
exercises consisted of examinations
in arithmetic, history and grammar,
spelling match and few speeches.
Next in order was dinner. The
long table groaned, as it were, under
the many good substantials, and af
ter the pupils and friends had par
taken heartily, all left wanting
nothing. The afternoon exercises
consisted of select readings, dia-
logues, compositions, &C., prepared
for the occasion. The audience was
large, and the varied exercises were
such as to hold the attention and in
terest all throughout the exercises.
The programme was well prepared
and the classes examined in the diff
ferent branches seemed to under
stand thoroughly what they had
been taught. The whole exercise
was highly commendable, showing
