REASONS WHY SOUTH CAROLINA
IS A GOOD STATE.

The Charleston News and Courier
recites the following as reasons why
the people of South Carolina should
be contented with their state, and not
seek homes elsewhere: "Several black
bears have been seen in North Caroli-
ma recently. There was a shower of
turtles as large as silver dollars in
Raleigh few days ago. A bolt of
lightning struck a pond near Asheville
and killed number of fish the week
before last. One hundred and sixty
seven snakes were killed in an old fort
near Beaufort in one day, and ghost
has been seen near Rockingham. In
Georgia man living near Athens
dropped spool of thread into a hole
from which locust had just emerged,
and the entire spool unwound without
reaching the bottom of the hole"

HARD FACTS ABOUT PENSIONS.
From the n. Y. Herald.I

Between the soldiers who never de-
served pensions and those who do not
now need them the taxpayers of the
United States are paying out an i'm
mense amount of money to no good
purpose. The Wichita Kan Beacon
makes move in the right direction
when it reminds pensioners really
needy that part of their government
pittance is taken back again in the
shape of taxes to pay undeserving PEN
sioners-'the grand army of dead
beats who stand in no need of it are
stealing it under fraud" The Beacon's
hint should stimulate deserving vete-
rams to report to the pension bureau
the names of men who appear to be
drawing pensions on insufficient
of disability, There is no
more practicable metod of decreasing
the length and expense of the pension
list.

NATURAL GAS INSTEAD OF COAL.

PITrsBURG, Pa, June 22.-By the
first of next month every iron and
steel mill in Pittsburg and vicinity
with one exception will be using nat
ural gas as fuel. This will reduce the
consumption of coal 3S, ,2s5, 900 bushels
per annum, one seventh of the yearly
output of the region tributary to
Pittsburg. 1t will throw out of en-
ployment thousands of firemen, coal
heavers and ash haulers employed in
the mills.

Infancy.
BY VICTOR HUGO.

In the dusky alcove,
Near the altar laid,
Sleeps the child in shadow
OF his mothers bed;
Softly he reposes
And his lids of roses,
Closed to earth. uncloses
On the heaven O'erhead.
Many dream is with him,
Fresh from fairyland;
Spanglsd DER with diamonds
Seems the ocean sand;
Suns are cleaning there
Troops of ladies fair
Souls of infants bear
In their charming hand.
o, enchanting vision.
LO! a rill upsprings.
And from out its bosom
Comes a voice that sings,
LOvelier there appear
Sire and sisters dear,
While his mother near
Plumes her newborn wings.
But a brighter vision
Yet his eyes behold;
Roses all and lilies
Every path unfold;
Lakes in shadow sleeping,
Silver fishes leaping,
And the waters creanino
Through the reeds of gold.
Slumber on, sweet infant,
Slumber peacefully
Thy young soul knows not
What thy lot may be.
Like dead leaves that sweep
Down the stormy deep,
Thou art borne in sleep;
What is all to thee?

There was a full attendance at the

| 4ucTc was lull aCCeuudIlC6 aC tne
cabinet meeting Tuesday. The prin-
cipal topic of discussion was the case
of Santor, naturalized citizen under
arrest in Ecuador. The conclusion
reached was that Santor should be re-
cognized as an American citizen and as
such entitled to the full protection of
this government. 1t is understood that
a demand will be made for his release.
This is return to the principles which
were laid down by the great democrat
ic Secretary of State, VIM. L. Marcy,
in the case of Martin Koszta. On the
2sth day of September, 1858, he de-
clared d.-''Whenever, by the operation
of the law of nations, an individual
becomes clothed with our national
character, be he native-born or natur-
allied citizen, On exile driven from his
early home by political oppression, or
an emigrant enticed from it by the
hopes of better fortune for himself
and his posterity, he can claim the pro-
lection OF this government, and it may
respond to that claim without being
obliged to explain its conduct to any
foreign power for it is its duty to make
it's nationality respected by other ma.
tions aud respectable in every quarter
of the globe. International
law looks only to the national charac-
ter in determining what country has
the right to protect. If person goes
from this country abroad with the ma
tionality of the United States, this law
enjoins upon other nations to respect
him in regard to protection as an Amer
ican citizen" Koszta was not vet a
citizen of the United States when this
declaration was made, and when this
country stood by it, refusing to give
up to Austria the man who had slgni-
fled his desire and intention to become
an American citizen. This policy was
carried out in Mr.. Buchanan's admin
istration, when Secretary of State
Lewis Cass, in 1859, in interposing for
the protection of an American
citizen OF German birth said:
"The right of expatriation can
not at this day be doubted or
denied in the United States. The idea
has been repudiated ever since the
origin OF our government that man
is bound to remain forever in the coun-
try of his birth. The doctrine of Der.
petual allegiance ia relic OF barbarism
which has been disappearing from
Christendom during the last century,"
During their long lease of power the
republican party departed from these
time -honored principles, and in the
cases of McSweeney, and dozens of
others, permitted foreign governments
to arrest, imprison and put in their
armies citizens of the United States
who should have had the protection of
our government. We are glad that in
this, as in 80 many other things, we are
promised genuine reform.

A Memory.
BY n. N. B.

As yesterday held book

1t kept the unforgotten look
knew in days of yore-
l turned the time-stained pages o'er,
And tears fell on forgotten lays,
And something huttered to the floor;
Another relic of old days.
saw it with dim regret-
A violet.
All. me! In happy days long past,
Another violet blOOmed for me,
Death, who so many blossoms hast,
Say, were there not enough for thee?
Dear as this laid between the leaves,
From fading influence apart,
So thou, though dead, are still enshriued,
Within the closed book of my heart,
And thy souPs fragrance lingers vet.
Dead violet.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were SO weak raised blood. Nobody
thought could live. My work (ship-
smithing) twas very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition l
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and
had improved SO much, I stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that have
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and I must have q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters."
These of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful Ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
Of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price $10O
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.
Ask your druggist for MIsHLER's HERB BITTKRs.
II he does not keep it, do not take ANYTHING else but

The Sweet Girl Graduate.

From the Providence Star.I
She read the vsledic.ory; twas deep and an
alytic,
And scored a splendid victory o'er every
carping critic;
But much / fear her logic clear and all her
moods and lenses
Were lost upon my listning ear and my en-
raptured senses.
For when she talked of botany, and leaves
and grass and rushes
l only saw the roses red that mingled in her
bushes,
And when she spoke of history, and turned
its lamp stained pages,
To me its onlv mystery was what the dear
girls age is.
She wandered off on x plus z, on cubes and
squares grew tiowery,
1t set me thinking what might be the figure
of her dowry.
So pondering down in the parquet Pd set my
heart TO Woe her,
When she picked up huge bouquet some
other fellow threw her;
Took out note, blushed rosy red, sInoothed
all its pinky creases,
While over my devoted head my castle went
to pieces.

Bloom of Rye.
BY LEW vANDERPOEL.

When the bloom was on the rye
And the autumn days were nigh
Came my lover through the grain across the
field;
Scarce word did either say,
Yet the rapture of the day
Was complete with youthful passion first re-
vealed.
Once again the bloom I see
On the field SO dear to me,
But the lover Of the long ago ia dead.
And each breeze which passes by
Strips the bloom from of the rye,
Sits it through the rustling grass above his
head.

A stately figure, fair and tall,
She was the belle, heard them say.

The fresh breeze blowing from the south
A pillow case is in her hands,
And several clothespina in her mouth.
And she's as fair to me o-day,
As winsome, beautiful and bright,
As when, among the dancers gay,
I saw her at the ball last night.

Weprinted, last week, part of the early
history of the yacht America, written
by Gen. Benz. F. Butler for Harper's
Magazine. Everybody who reads the
newsl apers knows that this yacht,
many years ago, won the international
cup, off Cowes, and that the United
States has held the cup ever since
against all nations. As very much of
the Improvement made in sailing quail
ity of merchant and war vessels is
indicated first by experiments in yacht
ing, such contests have an interest far
beyond the mere sport that is apparent
ly their primary object. Since the
America won the. cup that has since
borne her name, there has been 3 great
revolution in naval architecture. In
America the tendency has been toward
shallow draft and great beam, whilst
in Europe, and especially in England,
it has been just the reverse, toward
great depth and very narrow beam.
1t may be said that these types have
about reached the extreme at this time.
The American racing yacht is very
properly designated as a skimming
dish, whilst the English racing machine
Is well called plank edge. Thus
far, in that these models have gone to
extremes that seem to be impractical
BILE for other than racing purposes, it
appears to us that yachting will lose
much of its usefulness in aiding practi-
cal maritime architecture. Neverthe-
tess, even if ii is skimming dish against
plank-on-edge, Americans will natu-
rally take great interest in the approach
ing races, for which two English cut
ters have been especially constructed.
But this interest would undoubtedly be
greatly heightened if the splendid
yacht, America, with a sensible model,
and a sail plan as thoroughly Ameri-
can as is her hull, would again enter
the contest, and as in 1851, distance all
competitors. They say she can't do
it; but "they say' is 80 unreliable.
