The Greenback or Peoples Right. rar-
~ had meeting in Berkeley county las,
week at the call Of Senate. Fishburnc.
There was Z considerable crowd present,
and the Senator began his haraug,e By
stating that it was the purpose Of the
Peoples Right party to adopt such =
policy as would enable both Republicans
and Democrats to join it, and he pro-
ceeded to lay before the meeting the
beauties Of the new party, and urged all
present 10 embrace it. He was followed
by couple Of Republican speakers, who
abused the white people and the Demo
cratic party to such an extent as TO dis
gust the audience and kill off any chance
that was left to the new party there.
Every sensible man ut once recognized
the movement as one for the restoration
Of Republicanism, or at least in aid OF
Republicanism, and scnsibly declined to
have anything to do with it.

aims, the purposes and the plans of the
new party. They claim to bave been
Democrats, but now they are nopen and
avowed opposition to Democracy, and in
real sympathy and union with the Re-
publicans. They make Republicans
presidents Of their clubs, and, strange to
say, they never condemn or abuse the
Republicans. 1t is the outrageous Dem
O. ats that require all their yals OF
wrath And when you come TO examine
into what this so.calle1 hideous party
has done, You find tha. it has reduced
taxation for current State expenses TO
mills from 81, AS was formerly required
by the Republicans it has put good men
in Office, such as Hampton, Simpson,
MCGOWAN, Wallace, Kershaw, P!c.sly,
CoDnor and nearly all Of the officers we
have had since 1876, instead Of Cham
berlain, Scott, Mo.es. Whippcr, Smail-,
Neaglc Wh,tcmore and nearly all the
officers that were elected by the Rcpub-
licans it has given peace and protection
to life and property instead Of the muir
der, the arson, the riots and Inc crime
which prevailed in Republican times;
and last but not least, it la, had the
courage TO do what it believed to be right,
regardless Of the clamor Of denagogues.
This Democratic party is the party the
Greenbackcrs abuse, and this Republican
party is the party they take to their
bosom. There are two parties in South
Carolna-onc is the party Of intelligence
and integrity, known rs the Democratic
party, and the other is the Republican,
Greenback Peoples Rights Independents
Radical combination party. The people
Of the State can take their choice.

The Exploits of a Pet Hen.
Marion County (Ga.) Argus.


One of our Marion County lady
friends had a pet hen which felt quite
at home anywhere in the house. Quar-
terly meeting was close at hand and
the preacher was coming; eggs were
scarce, and only a few dozen could be
had. The lady was flying around in a
great hurry getting ready to cook up
the cake and other nice things, while
the pet hen was poking around in the
house hunting for suitable place to
make herself nest; she decided that
the wash-bowl, sitting on the water
shelf, was the very place, but before
she could be suitably nestled the bowl
fell to the floor and broke into thous-
and pieces. This vexed our lady friend
little, bat she kept her temper ike
Christian, and went on about her work.
1t wasn't long before the hen had tum-
bled from the table to the floor whole
set of plates. This would have been a
sore uial to patient old Job, but the
lady went on with her \, n~k, humming
"Sweet By-and-By," to keep mp spirits.
Now the new spring hat sat on the
center table in one of the rooms, where
some # the lady neighbors who had
dropped in to see it had left it, aud it
was on the bandbox the lady had in
her hurry set pan with FIVE dozen eggs
fall that she had to make cakes for the
preachers) and hurried to the store
room. The pet hen came pirorting
around in the room, and right into the
pan of eggs she nesled, and, of course
the bandbox, pan and eggs all tumbled
to the floor. There was a general mix
ture-that il, the eggs and the hat be-
came one and the same. When the
lady, attracted b. the noise, got to the
door and saw the condition of things,
she was mad, good mad, very mad.
She could afford for the wash bowl and
new plates to be broken, but for all the
eggs she had to go into the cake to be
broken, and the hat rlastingly
ruined, was too much for her Christian
resignation, and, in the language Of
"Uacle" Steve Pearson, when the hog
tgrned over his strip, she wanted to
turn over the house. The lady weighs
considerably over hundred, and the
day was warm, but she ran that hen
down, and mentally vowed that the
preachers should eat her. For safe
keeping the hen was put 10 strong
coop. In an hour the hen was found In
the wood-box, citing in the corner Of
the room, and there we're found two
eggs.
This is a fact, and he who doubts II
must consult our fighting editor.

The Fall of a Nevada Mountain Peak.


About eleven o'clock Thursday morn
ing the whole town was startled by a
terrific roar and a jar like an earth
quake, which sent people flying out of
their houses in all directions. A glance
up the side of Mount Olsen revealed
the cause of the phenomenon. One of
the sharp peaks of the foliated granite
near the summit, ioosened by the late
rains, had topled over and was rushing
down a steep ravine directly toward
the centero the town with appalling
force, crushing and grinding every
thing in its pathway. For a few mo-
ments it seemed that several houses
were doomed to destruction, but for
tunately the slide scattered and was
checked in the taIus at the foot of the
cliffs, causing it to stop short of any of
the buildings. One immense bowlder,
weighing not less than fifty tons, came
down with fearful velocity, striking
the rock bench above town and break
ing it into a thousand pieces, which
stopped on the flats few rods from
the China houses on Clark street. Dur
ing the progress of the slide everybody
was striker with CONSERVATION, and
many people sought safety in wild
flight. It's estimated that at least ], 500
or 1900 tons of rock came down in the
slide

THE Madison Democrat offers the fol-
lowing important suggestions relative
to communication with the seat of war:
"The first gun that opened the siege
of Alexandria was fired by Admiral
Seymour, from the flag ship, at o'clock
this morning, Alexandria time. The
difference in time between that point
and Madison is just eight hours; hence
the bombardment opened at II o'clock
last evening Of our local time. The news
reached the Democrat Office at one
O'Clock this morning, only two hours
after the first gun reared across the
Egyptian harbor at the seat of war.
Allowing for the twelve or fifteen repe-
titions of the message that occurred at
the several forwarding offices, the
celebrity of transmission was simply
marvellous"

An Eve Witness.
HIS DESCRIPTION IN DETAIL

New YORK, July 12.-The HerdM's
special dated on board the Invincible
has these details: At $40 the ships of
the squadron signalled all ready"
but a still further delay was necessary
to allow the Egyptian officers carrying
the admiral's reply to- the ministry to
be put ashore At $50 the quiet order
was passed around deck to load with
common shell, and q CLEAN of salts
faction shone on the mems faces. At
z o'clock the signal was made to the
Alexandria to open the ball by firing
one gun. A heavy bonn came across
the water. Then there was an anxious
pause. Would the Egyptians answer
or would they evacuate the forts? No
sound came from Fort Ada, but in the
batteries opposite we could see men
loading the guns. They would fight.
Then the order was given to COM
mence independent firing, and the
signal was run up for the fleet to begin
a general engagement.
A DEAFENING sALyo
from five nine-inch guns went from
the side of the Invincible, while over
head ten Nordenfeldt guns in the tops
swelled the din which burst forth from
all the ships. The bank of smoke
which at once rose like a wall from our
side prevented me from seeing the re-
suits of our FIRE, but from the tops it
was seen that the shells had struck
rather low, and the sights were raised
from l, $50 to 500 yards. The Mon
arch and Penelope had both work close
at hand, and the roar OF their heavy
guns, the ceaseless rattle of their Cat
hngs, and the Nordenfeldt machines,
and the rush of rockets which the Mon
arch was dischargipg, added to tie
sound of our guns, made up a deep
continuous din, which is apostolic to
describe, and was most be wilderiug to
hear. In any momentary interval the
sound of guns from other divisions OF
the feet told they, also, were hard at
work. The smoke from the very COM
mencement of the engagement was so
dense that we could see nothing of tn e
effect which our fire was producing,
nor of what the enemy were doing.
But soon after we begun

THE Utica Herald says: "Of the
twenty-seven governors of New York,
only one has died in office, and only
two have resigned the position before
the completion OF their term. Three
of our governors have been elected TO
the office of vice-president of the Unit
ed States; four of them have been
nominated for the office of president
of the United States, and one has been
elected to that office. Five governors
have held portfolios in the cabinets of
presidents. 1t goes without saying,
that the governors of no other state in
the union have made a record that Is
in any degree comparable with this.
1t has often been said that next to the
presidency itself, the governorship of
the Empire state is the position of
greatest honor and power within the
reach of an American citizen"

An Arkansas Snake Charmer.
Union County Times.

Mr.. Black, who resides in Hillsboro
Ark, exhibits control and influence
over the reptile family astonishingly
mysterious. In the woods, creeks, or
wherever he finds snake, it matters
not of what type of deadly poison and
venom it may be, he succeeds in cap
turing it alive and suffering as little
from the clasp of its fangs as if it was
an ordinary pin-scratch. He handles
and fondles them about his person with
as much indifference as ii they were so
many harmless toys. He will allow the
largestrattlesnake to deliberately strike
and bury its fangs into his flesh, and
apparently suffer no inconvenience or
serious consequences from the tragic
risk. By certain weed or growth of
vegetation he claims to destroy the
effect of the bite. When bitten he
chews and swallows the juice of the
weed, which acts like charm.
