He Is little tired of the Greek and
Roman. They have been thrust upon
him with irate iteration, through so
many decades of contemptuous snub-

inward revolt against even their calm
and unaggressive domination. He is
ciear-sighted enough, too, to perceive
that art must be native to the soil.
Greek art looks too cold and white un-

are rubies, and sheathed alongside the
stem is a silver sword used for clean

parlor of the preachers house as an
ornament. 1t was given to him by a

WE copy the following from the to-
bacco circular of Mr.. B. K. Gold of
March .:
Severe cold and unsuitable weather
for preparing the crop for market ex-
listed nearly throughout the entire
month of February, which necessarily
retarded receipts and materially les.
sened the volume of sales in our mar
ket. However the cold snap come to
an end several days ago, since which
we have had comparatively warm and
spring like weather, continuation of
which no doubt will soon result in
good seasons, when receipts will in
crease rapidly. Outside of the usual
slight Irregularities attendant upon an
auction market, prices in the main
have ruled firm with a gradual stiff
ening tendency for all grades, until at
present the market 10 slightly higher
for nearly everything than at the be-
ginning of the month. The quality
generally has been common and poor,
and mostly suited only to Reggie pur-
poses, the better and more substantial
sorts thus far having continued ex-
tremely scarce, and it is now evident
that it will not furnish near the proper
ton of fat and heavy bodied tobacoos
as was believed when the crop was
being harvested. i - ~
For the want of suitable weather
only few scattering plant beds have
yet been prepared, but with n few
more days of fair and drying weather
such as we are now having1, burning
and seeding wifi become general.

Mr.. JESSE w. BAILEY, a prominent
citizen of this county, died at his home
three miles from the city on the Port
Royal pike about noon, Sunday, aged
81 years. The cause of his death was
heart disease, and he was taken OH

cept his wife had gone to church. Mr..
Bailey was sitting before the fire, and
died in that position before he could
be removed to the bed. He and his
family had been for some time con-
scious of the fact that he was affected
with heart disease, and the death was
not altogether unexpected, nOtwith-
standing its suddenness. Mr.. Bailey
was member of the Baptist church,
and was a man of very industrious
and economical habits. He leaves a
wife and two children. The remains

Gen. QuRrles.

Our distinguished citizen, General
W. A. Quarles, is being pushed by his
friends for Minister to Mexico, and
we are pleased to learn that the chan
ces for his securing the appointment
are very f1attering. There are several
other patriots in various parts of the
Union who have expressed their will
ingness to serve the Government in
the same capacity, but we feel certain
that none of them can present better
claims for the position or are better
qualified to fill it than Gen. Quarles.
The General is a born diplomat.
He possesses in an eminent degree
that suavity of manner and graceful
ness of speech which are supposed to
become a minister plenipotentiary,
and his strength of mind, legal acu-
men and extensive information in the
field of politics and history, well equip
him for such an office.
He has been Democrat for many
years, and has done much work in the
service of the party. While rewards
are being dealt out to the faithful and
meritorious, the General should not
be neglected; but his appointment can
he urged on the higher ground of
competency, with the assurance that
no one has better claim.
