What AfiiictS the Irish,

It is thought strange by some that
the Irish, who are natural born fight.
ers should never have been able to
achieve their own independence, says
the Texas &taings. Some of the most
distinguished generals in history have
either been Irish, or Irish descent. AS
soldiers, the Irish are very difficult
to heat. Wellington, Woolsely, and
half dozen other distinguished
military men were Irish, but the
English were shrewd enough to en-.
gage their services, and could have
used them at any time to suppress an
Irish rebellion, if one had been start
ed. The Irish have never been able
to achieve their independence for the
reason that their bosses were Irieh.
The English utilize the Irish to keep
the Irish down. The Royal Irish
Constabulary are more than match
for their discontented countrymen.
The position Of the Irish is some
what similar to that of the Scotch
man who was employed as business
manager of aiactory, but had accu'
mulated no money. He gave as al
explanation Of his poverty, that hi!
employer was also scotchman, ane
watched him too closely.

A Big German Colony.

GREENvI1LE, July 2l.-Franz Bus
sebanm, Of Hamburg, Germany, the
representative Of a syndicate Of capi-
taliats, of which he is member, has
Just completed the purchase of
body of land comprising $4,000
acres, stretching from the Greenville
line in Pickens County across Pickens
and taking in a considerable belt OF
O,onee County. The purpose in view
is the planting Of a large colony Of
German immigrants, who will engage
in the cultivation ofgrain and grasses.
Mr.. Buasebaum will make his head
quarters in Greenville, and will at
once begin arrangements for the I'M
portation and reception If settlers.
The body of land purchased by him
is that included in an old grant made
during the administration OF Cover
nor Moultrie, and heretofore owned
by Mr.. Brown, of Charleston. Upon
il are number of settlers whose IL
ties have been frequently called into
question. These are to be given war
rantee titles to the homestead they
occupy, and the remainder of the
immense body of fertile lands will be
settled up by immigrants who are
thrifty and industrious people, and
who will doubtless bring about great
improvements in the fertile but
sparsely inhabited country to which
they come.

1t Was Accident.

"The world owes It's greatest
achievements to accidents" " remarked
Col. STilIls TO his wife, as they sal
on the back gallery enjoying a cool
breeze. Nearly all great discoveries
were purely accidental, and Mrs
Swiflle, added the colonel, 1T was by
mere chance that we met.
Yes, the lacy replied, it wa'
an accident that caused our mar
riage."
The colonel didn't very much lik'
this reply, and, with elevated eye
brows, rejoined:

AT THE BAR.
From the

"Who speaks for this MANI" From the
great white throne,
.e'Neiled in ITS .roseate clouds, the voice
gcame forth.
Before it stood, parted soul alone,
And, rolling East and West, and South
and North,
The mighty accents summoned quick and
dead:
Who speaks for this man ere his doom
:, be said?'
Shivering he listened, for his earthly life
He passed in dull. unnoted calm away |;
He brought no glory to its daily strife,
No wreath of fame, or genius fiery ray;
Weak, lone, ungifted, quiet and obscure,
Born in the shadow, dying mid the poor.
Lo, from the solemn concourse, hushed
and dim,
The widows prayer, the orphans bless
ing rose;
The struggler told of trouble shared by
him,
The lonely, of cheered hours and soften
ed woes,
And like chorus spoke The crushed and
sad:
He gave US all he could and what he
had"
And little words of loving kindness said,
And tender thoughts and help in time
Of need
Sprang up, like leaves by soft spring
showers fed
In some waste corners sown by chance
flung seed.
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul
Such triaes gathered to so blessa whole.
Oh yel by circumstances letters bound,
The store so little and the hand so frail,
Do but the best ye can for all around;
Let sympathy be true, nor courage fail
Winning among your neighbors, poor and
weak,
Some witness at your trial hour to speak.

The Collision or COrunna.

LONDON, July oS-Survivors Of
the Britiah steamship Larhan,, which
collided last Monday night with the
Spanish steamer Gijon not far from
Corunna, reported that on the morn
ing of the collision there was thick
fog. The LonAana was going slow
and both steamers were sounding
their whistles. The Gyon struck the
Lardam amidshps and the latter was
nearly cut asunder. The funnel fell
and the steam pife burst The chief
engineer in reversing the engine was
horribly scalded. Most of the Lor-
Aan,'s s crew boarded the Giion. Capt.
Latham tied his wife and child to
himself and all three we're thus haul
ed aboard the G5oo by rope. The
Larhaagsank twenty minutes after
the coNslon occurred. IL was not long
beforS,. the GyyOn began to settle.
Terrible confusion prevailed on board.
The captain stood with revolver in
hand, but he was unable to keep or
der. The passengers and crew were
Gghtinp for their lives. The boats
were lowered and filled to the gun
wales, but they could not accommo'
date half the people. those who
were 80 fortunate as to secure places
in them were obliged to keep off
others with knives. The Gyoas sank
bow first. The quarter deck was
crowded with men and women, the
captaing and officers standin on the
bridge. It is estimated that l3O per-
sons persisted.

A New Bridge.
The South Carolina Railroad Begin.
ming an Important Work--Driving
Piles for Stone Piers--Plans
tor the structure.

The South Carolina Railroad, now
one of the best and smoothest man
aged in the South, have just COM
menced moat extensive and impor-
tant work, the construction of a new
bridge across the Savannah river.
{. The first bridge over the river at
this point, when the Augusta and
Hamburg Railroad was extended to
this city, was built in 1858; the Sec
ond bridge was constructed in 1860,
with draw, to allow steamboats, to
pass up to the wharf which was then
above its present position. This
bridge was substantially the same
fashion. and in identically the aame
position as at present; although it
hassbeen SO generally and continu'
ously repaired that it can hardly
be said to be the same bridge as at
2fsssa siiul..sss
Yesterday afternoon the Chronicle
:, went across the river and witnessed
the work en- TIE new bridge. 1t will
be in the same position as now, being
built up and over the track without
disturbing the running Of the trains.
The new bridge will De put up as the
old one is being torn away, and the
growth viii De complete but imper-
ceptible. Hands are now at work in
the river putting pine pilings in
place for the fret pier. These hard
pine logs are driven into position by
heavy two thousand pound pile
driver, and are sawed off at about
two feet above the river bed. The
spaces between them is then filled
with stone or rip raped with rock
from the Edgeleld County quarry
and upon this foundation stone piers
are to be erected which will support
the bridge. Each pier will take
about seventy FIVE Of these piles for
its foundation, and the piles are
eighteen ieet long. There will be
needed for the bridge, which is 900
feet long, four piers and two abut,
ments, and as advantage is being
taken of loW water for this work, it
is believed that the piers and abut
ments will be finished by early fall.
The work cf putting up these piers
is in charge of MIR, G. Mayhem, a
veteran and experienced atone con-
tractor and bridge builder of Colum-
bia. He has already put in come
fine work for the South Carolina
Railroad of this description. The
upper part of the bridge will be
built alter the piers are finished, and
will probably be wood with covered
Howe Truss. The new Carolina Rail.
road bridge will be very nearly like
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad bridge at this point, and
will be finished, it is said, in year.
1t will cost about $4,000.

The following recipe for doing up
shirts will be found of use by many
housewives: Take two ounces Of fine
white gum-arabic powder, put it in a
pitcher and pour on it pint or more
of water, and then, having covered it
let it stand all night. In the morning
pour it carefully from the dregs into
a clean bottle and cork it, and keep
it for use. A tablespoonful OF gum
water stirred in pint Of starch made
in the usual manner will give to
lawns, either white or printed, look
of newness when nothing else can
restore them after they have been
washed.
