Mr.. Lawrence Barrett and his ex-
cellent dramatic company received an
ovation at the theatsr last night. on
the occasion Of the opening perform
ance OF the new play Francesca do
Rimini.p The audience was one Of
the largest Of the season. and 1t was
fashionable as we'll as intelligent.
Boxers highly interesting six act

and pictured By the company, kept
their attention closely absorbed from
the opening to the close. The play is
briefly described as a realization Of
Dante's celebrated story, with Mr..
Barrett in the leading role Of Ian
%ciotto, the Hunchback. The per-
formance was highly satisfactory
throughout. and the brilliant
costumes, appropriate music,
including the vocal efforts Of the
double quartette of Madrigal boys,
together with the completeness of the
settings generally and the finished
style of acting all went toward making
up IN entertainment long to be re
membered. The play will be repeated

Don't neglect the vegetable garden.
The best stock is ever the most pro-
fitable.

Sweet butter cannot be made from
cream under which whey and thick
sour milk have formed. The moment
whey forms it has passed the point of
perfection.
Curry horses frequently in spring to
aid in removing their old coat. A small
quantity of oil meal added to their
feed will also greatly assist in its re-
moval. Discontinue this when they
are at work.
A lamb saved now may be worth
dollars next fall. What is called bad
luck in raising lambs is sometimes
bad management, or no management
at all. If the sheep are healthy, near
ly every one well formed should be
raised, and nothing pays the owner
better than close, personal attention to
them.
A writer says that he has never fail
ed to cure garget by the use of beans.
He feeds one pint of bean meal, for
four successive days, and has found
that quantity sufficient to cure the
worse cases. He thinks if COWS were
fed with bean meal several times year
they would never be troubled with the
garget.

A Word for Mutton.

The mutton of we'll fed sheep OF
every breed, from the Downs and Shires
down to the little wooded Saxony, is
palatable and healthful. None of tn,
objections urged against the use of the
hog can be brought against the sheep
1t has never been known TO impair
scrofula, trichina or tapsworms to its
consumers. The sheep does not thrive
in the mire, nor does it consume gar
bage or vermin, or decaying meats or
vegetables. 1t does not wallow in the
trough it feeds from, but it is dainty
and careful feeder and as cleanly as
needs be in its habits. Mutton is pro
duced easier and cheaper than beef, is
just as nutritious and may be served
in as great a variety of forms. AS a
steady food it is far superior to poul
try, and costs no more. We mean fat,
good. juicy mutton, not that from the
half starved, scabby or foot disordered
specimens that have outlived their
breeding age and been shorn of fleeces
enough to furnish shoddy blankets for
a tribe of Indians. People in cities
seldom know how really good mutton
tastes. and the remark may also apply
to most families upon the farm. The
latter too often fail to try it. We know
of many we'll to do farmers, men who
have we'll stocked farms, VINO do not
slaughter sheep during twelve
month, yet who kill a pig every month
in the summer season, and in the fall
"put down. pork enough to last every
other month during the year. This is
a nation of meat eaters, but it confines
itself too exclusively to pork and beef.
1t is better to sandwich in little more
mutton. A few sheep for family con-
sumption, even when they are not kept
for sale or for wool, will be found a
most excellent investment on all farms.

Tim e.

Human ingenuity cannot make time.
1t can only invent methods Of measur-
ing the hours and minutes as thew
pass. When the earth was Young,
shadows cast by sunbeams noted the
passing hours. From these sprang
the sun-dial, which answered while
the sun shone, but failed when the
sky was cloudy. Then the water
clocks, or clepsydre, as they are tech
nlcally known, came into use. Bv
these. Athenian orators were wont to
time their speeches 1900 Years ago.
After the water clock came the
hour glass of running sand, and for
800 years this was the common method
of measuring time. Even fifty years
ago it was employed in churches to in
form "the elder when he had preached
enough.
Meanwhile various rude forms of
clocks had been constructed. but not
If much use. Not until the invention
II the pendulum in the middle of tn.
seventeenth century, and its applica
tlon to the clocks, did they become re
liable. The clocks and waite es Of to-
lay are so numerous and cheap that
nearly every school-boy can afford to
carry slime piece.
Yet all the clocks and watches and
in the world cannot tell the time OF
day unless regulated by the sun. They
merely show the amount of passin :
time. The sun shows what tims it is.
whether morning, noon or night.
Strange mistakes are often made By
relying solely on clock time. \ party
of travellers, lot long ago, were en- their
way west through Arizona. Arrivin :
at Yuma at S O'Clock, railroad time,
they were surprised to find the din,
ming room clock indicating an hour
earlier. Still more were they sur
prised, after have lelSurely eaten break
fast to learn, on embrrking again.
that it was but O'clock
Strange, they thought; arrive Al
eight; break fast at seven, and leave at
six! Two hours gain. But clocks
were right. The first kept Jefferson
City Mo time; the second was Yuma
time, and the last was San Francisco
time.
Places east and west of each other
cannot have the same time Only
those places north and south are thus
favored. Could man continually
travel around the earth, keeping with
tn sun. he might live his allotted space
of three score years and ten" within
a single day. for the sun would never
rise or set to him. 1t would always
be day.
Yet even then he coull not make
time. He could not prclong his life
nor give to the world more hours.
The only way to make time is t.
make use Of it, every moment as it
comes. Times once gone is gone for
ever, whether the clock says 50 or
not.

Breaking Colts.

Colt breaking should begin at the
birth of the colt, because he then in
stinctively shows his fear or timidity
to man, which should then be COM
pletely dissipated. This is singular
fact. The young calf, or the dog, or
any other of the domstic animals, be-
tray no such positive fear at BIRTH
But the dam, no matter how gentle
she may have been as favorte horse
for years, as we'll as the colt itself,
will endeavor to elude the caresses Of
man as soon as the colt has strength
enough to use its limbs. He is wise
colt breaker, who loses no time in
overcoming this timidity. Some breed
ers have adopted the practice of hav-
ing their most valuable brood mares
drop their foals in a large paddock, so
that they can handle the foals, and at
once disarm them of their instructive
fear of man. This can be so success
fnlly done in few days, that the colt
in the open field, and when he grows
up to mature horsehood. will never
fail to come up to his owner, or even
to strangers in the field for their car
esses. The COLTS naturally suspicious
but when that suspicion is overcome.
then his affectionate confidence has no
limit. Every thoughtful colt breaker
therefore, will use his sagacity to ac
complish this result by considerate
kindness to the colts uuler his tuition.

One Of the mysterious events of
this strange age is the refusal of Har-
ward College to confer the degree Of
LII. D., upon Gov. Butler, Of Mas
sachusetts. The world knows that
Butler is an unmitigated demagogue,
and disgrace to the high office he
holds, but he is man of marked
ability, and his name among the list
of those who have been honored by
Harvard would not in the least de-
tract from the high character of that
list as representing men of distin-
guished ability, while its refusal of
this recognition tends to make Butler
more the idle of the dissolute and
ignorant classes than before. 1t
seems to us this Innovation on a long
established rule was a mistake that
will do harm to Harvard, and be of
benefit to the blantant demagogue it
was designed to rebuke.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

We publish in another column extracts from
the Atlanta Constitution, regarding the recent
visit of the South Carolina Railroad Commits
sioners to that city for the purpose OF consult
ing with the Railroad Commissioners of Geor-
gia. The South Carolina Commissioners re-
turned to Columbia Saturday morning, but
are reticent as to what their future action will
be. A meeting of the Commissioners was held
in Columbia on Tuesday. Regarding the
probable action of the board, one of the men,
bers informed the correspondent of the NewS
and Courier that the commission would at
once begin work on the tariffs of rates which
they are by law required to make for the
railroads. This work, he said, would neces-
sarily take much time. The first schedule
of the Georgia commission was not promul-
gated until six months after its organization,
but he expected that, without hasty and ILL
digested action, this commission would COM
plete it's tariffs much sooner than that. The
work before them he considered of great mag
nitude. 1t involved the construction OF a
separate tariff of rates for each road, with a
view to it's length, adjacent population, debt
and resources. We regard this commission,
and the law creating it, as important to the
people of the State, and for the information
of our readers, we shall publish, next week,
the Act in full.

A DISASTER AT SEA.

The Hamburg American line steamer which
left Hamburg on Thursday for New York,
came into collision with the British steamer
Sultan on Friday morning off Borkum and in.
stantly sank. The Cnlbrin had $50 passengers
and a crew numbering 10. She ran aground
before leaving the "Elbe," but got off with
the flood tide with the assistance of the Hansa
without having sustained any damage and put
to sea at 230 O'Clock in the afternoon. On
Friday morning she came into collision, dur
ing Il thick fog off Borkum, with the steamer
Sultan. The CimJria sank in a short time
When the boat with the 80 passengers arrived
at Cuxhaven, the company sent out the steam
er Hansa and four of the largest available
steamers at Cuxhaven to search for the other
boat. The West Indian Steamer Bavaria also
left during the night with a similar object.
The steamer Sultan, which sustained heavy
damage, has arrived in the Elbe.
A Hamburg dispatch of Saturday gives the
following account of the affair: The Cinl-
briu sustained such severe injuries that it at
once became apparent she must sink almost
Immediately. The officers, therefore, did all
in their power to save the lives of the passen-
gers without a moments loss of time. Life
belts were distributed among the passengers
and order was given to lower the boats. This,
however in consequence of the vessels keel
ing over on her side, was found to be very diff
fcult on one side and absolutely impossible on
the other. AS the second officer was still en-
gagged in cutting the spars loose, so that there
should be as much drift wood as possible for
people to cling to when the inevitable founder
ing occurred, the vessel went down under his
feet He seized spar, but as several other
persons clung to it he was obliged to let 60,
and he swan to boat. This boat was subse-
quently picked up by the Theta. The second
officer steered the Theta to Cuxhaven. Seven
teen persons have been saved by the steamer

THE RIRLE CAUSE.

Rev. C. H. Wiley, D. D., agent for North
and South Carolina of the American Bible
Society, visited Yorkvile last Saturday in the
interest of that cause, and on Sunday night de-
livered in the Presbyterian church very in
teresting discourse, which besides being a
strong argument in favor of spreading the
word of God to all the nations of the earth, was
replete with information as to the benefcent
results accomplished by the American Bible
Society and it's auxliaries. On this occasion
DIR. Wiley pleaded not for foreign lands, but
confined his remarks to the organization of a
Bible Society in York county. No society
was organized, but sufficient sum of money
was secured with which to procure a quanti-
ty of Bibles and Testaments, which will be
sold to those able to buy at the Society's
prices, and to those unable to buy, books
will be supplied without price DIR. Wiley
appointed as a committee for this purpose,
Rev. T. R. English, Rev. r. P. Franks and
Rev. DR.. Latham. Mr.. English is chairman
of the committee Mr.. Franks treasurer, and
DIR. Latham will act as agent for the distribu-
tion of books. More funds are needed for this
which may be handed to Rev. Mr..
Franks or persons who cannot conveniently
see him, may hand in .heir contributions at
this office and 'we-will pay the same over to
the treasurer.

MORmONIsM AND SUFFRAGE.

Pending registration in this county last
summer, we were told that in some instances
electors who had become converts to the Nor
mon faith were challenged on their applica-
tion to register but we do not know that the
challenge was sustained. The following par
agraph, from Tuesdays Columbia Register,
would indicate, however, that at least one
Mormon" was denied the privilege OF voting
in York at the last election, whether the de-
cision was right or wrong
United States Supervisor r. NJ Wallace has
received an official report from York county.
in which the Supervisor states that at one OF
the polls during the recent election, man
named Wilson Glover (white was not allowed
to vote. His vote was challenged on the
ground that he had recently become convert
to Mormonism and believed in the theory of a
plurality of wives, and the challenge was sus-
tanned.
This will probably give rise to question to
be determined by the courts ; though it is
very plain that citizen of State does not
forfeit his right of suffrage by embracing a
form of religion tolerated by the United States
Government
