the homestead being bid in by 'sbureau agent
whom he had once spurned from his door. The
court then set aside homestead for the former
landowner and gave him his overseer's cottage,
only stones throw from his former mansion.
1t tells that the negro militia killed his wife and
frenzed his daughter, the influence Of the Union
League on politics. the Imprisonment of the
agent in the cellar by the now crazed daughter,
thefiring of the mansion to destroy the usurper,
and how the members of the League appeared
Just in time to frustrate her design, her trial
and adjudging to be confined in an asylum
de lunatico, her spiriting away by friends, the
successful overthrow by Hampton Of the van
dals who so long had held sway, her return,
the destruction of the mansion by negro
incendiarys torch, the stratagem which caused
an explosion, which restored the poor girls
mind, and, finally, as usual, wedding. 1t
is ingeniously told and is not an overdrawn
picture of those trying times. The other verses
are of different degrees of merit, yet all show
that the author is a man of decided talent. The
volume is neatly printed and handsomely bound
by C. A. Calvo, Jr., Columbia, and may be OBJ
tanned from the author on receipt of $l.25.

"Well, Old Chap what, in the name of common

frogs?"
"Why, my friend, wish to eat them They
are very fine"
"Just as I expected. You have been croak-

become froggy, and I am not at all surprised
at your froggy taste. So you can have them all
for me. And have thought you little tishy
for some time, as you have been selling Goods
so cheap, and so many Of them lately. Well,
Old Chap, you ought to have waited little
longer, until we people could get the grass clear
of our fields, as you will have all the boys in the
country fishing, frogging and turtle hunting, to
get them little pocket change, as you propose
paying cash." ,..,.

"Well, Old Chap is it so that you want the

eyes, have heard the ladies speaking about
them in the country, and I hear almost daily
of those five-cent muslins, nice Dress Goods,
and especially about those cheap Cashmeres and
Mousselines, and great deal about that Model
Waist Lining, which is becoming so very popu-
lar with the ladies and those nice trimmings
such as Silks, Satines, Laces, Velvets and Vel
veteens; and the beauty of buying of the Old
Chap is, you get every thing to match SO nicely,
from the sole of your foot to the crown of your
head. Those pretty Shoes set off your feet so
nicely, and the pretty Hats and Bonnets make
your faces look so lovely and have your dress
made by Mrs. DOBSON, who makes such nice
fits, and then your beautiful figure will show off
to such nice advantage, with the pretty Shoes,
nice Hat, and nicely-ftting Dress. Mrs. DOB
SON turns out those beautiful fits almost daily.
She is Just crowded with work all the time, be-
cause she does such nice work and guaratees
fits in every instance. She employs the best
Seamstresses, and has a fine Cutter, who gives
perfect satisfaction. Mrs. DOBSON'S Millinery
and Dress Making Department is very popular,
and she has had large and satisfactory trade,

it still continues. Those beautiful Suits for
young men are being ordered out weekly to fill
orders for Suits orSingle Garments, to correspond
with those pretty low-quartered Shoes which
have been the rage among the young men this
season. 1t seems as though the Old Chap is
selling nearly all the Clothing and Shoes this
season; in fact, nearly every person wants to
get chance at the Buggy, the Sewing Machine
and the Watch, and especially when it does not
cost them anything.
The Old Chap has splendid line of Lap Robes
and Table Covers, and all kinds Of Fancy Dam
asks for table use, and Dolies to match, and nice
Curtain Lace and Cretonne for lambreq uins, to
adorn your windows with and as the warm
weather is approaching, and persons are begin
ming to think of fleeing to the mountains,
would say that the Old Chap has some nice
Valises for men and travelling Satchels for the
ladies, which he is very anxious to exchange
for few Greenbacks to cheer him up during
the warm summer MONTHS as he cannot afford
to 90 off to the watering places and mountains
to get some fresh air.

A WORD FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A few newspapers in the State are industri.
ously making war on the public school sys.
tenn, and we regret to see that these news.
papers have some following among the peo.
pie. A large majority Of the Intelligent
people of the State are in favor of support
ing the public schools. There can be nc
doubt about this if we are to judge by the
utterances of the Representatives in the
Legislature and of majority of the news
papers. Indeed, we have not the patience
to argue with those who are opposed to the
public schools, as we believe that the Oppo.
sition is inspired by a deep seated prelu.
dice that stands in the way as barrier
against progressive civilization.-Edge'

PLANTATION LAYS.

according to Joaquin Miller, is the land of poe

with the unpoetic realism of Sherih's sale,
