day in town. They were married sew
eral days ago in the upper part Of South
Carolina, about one hundred miles from
here, and started out Immediately on
their bridal tour in a wagon with ten
bushels of apples and ono bushel of
chcsnuts. They are quite young and
appear to be extremely happy. Our
citizens showed their appreciation of
the energy of the young couple by buy
ing out their stock and sending them
back rejoicing.

A.. Snowden, q woman who is perhaps
the most peerless female patriot this
State has ever produced. Mrs. Snow
den is n Of those ladies who gave up
the Confederacy only when Lee surren-
dered, and from that day to this has
been devoting her time, talent and
energy to South Carolina. Through
har efforts the Confederate Home for
the education of the daughters, and for
the housing of the widows Of Confed-
crate soldiers was, founded and endowed.
1t is to the efforts OF Mrs. Snowden that
we owe the Calhoun monumcn now ap-
preaching completion.
The monument will be more than a
hundred feet high, and the most minute
pains are being taken by engineers and
architects that it shall not be placed in
a wrong position, or become The "Lean-
ing Pisa" Of the new world.
Submerging principle, and locality,
and creed, and counting intellect only,
John c. Calhoun was the greatest civic
citizen to whom the Western Hcmis-
phere has eve given birth.
The beautiful and unwrittcn biogra-
ply of Calhoun still stands like a
strung harp waiting for the master mu-
s%ician's touch ; but there is mo human
hand divine enough to sweep the diapa-
son of its mighty tones" Five hun
dred years from now, when Webster's
dream is a reality, and there is no
North nor South nor East nor West
a billion of human beings TEEN on this
continent between the two oceans
when railroads advertise schedules of
one hundred miles an hour !; when the
conscience and cupidity Of the money
lender are satisfied with three per cent
and the people of all the sections, stand
in the white light of q perfect union,
shall cease to sec each other through a
glass darkly, then John C. Calhoun will
loom up larger than he does to-day, and
before the glory OF his priority and
precedence the names Of Clay and Web
ster and Benson and Bismarck and
Gladstone will turn pale and tremble
and melt away. He wos Americas
mightiest statesman. He will never be
forgotten in his quondam home. The
latest generations Of Charlestonians will
revere his memory forever and forever.
Calhoun taught us State s%ovrignty. He
told us to live by it and to die for it.
Many Of us did. No political econo-
mist nor moral philosopher ever yet has
founl the point ut which the obligations
Of a commonwealth to it's people leaves
of, and it's obligations to the Union be-
gins. But South Carolina is rs loyal to
the Union as Massachusetts is to-day.
We believe in, and rely in, and will
fight for the Union !; even if recon-
struction did pin the Union together
with bayonets and cement it in blood.

The Judges .Aduonition,

Judge Walton's sarcastic wit was
never excmpli4icd more torcibly than at
a recent term OF the 5. j. Court ut Au-
burn. A fellow who broke into a Lis
bon street store and stole numerous ar
ticles was tried on an Indictment for
breaking and entering ana larceny.
BY some ineNplicablc process of reason
ing the jury arrived at the conclusion
that the respondent was guilty of lar
ceny, but not guilty of breaking and
entering, and such was the verdict.
''Gentlcmen." said the judge, 1.-The law
obliges me to take notice of your YER
dict. The severest sentence which the
statute permits me to impose on u per
son convicted of simple larceny is two
years in the State prison. | will sen
tence this respondent for a shorter
term. l will make it eighteen months"
The friends of the prisoner on the jury,
who thought that by bringing in a YER
dict of simple larceny they would get
him off with thirty days in Jail, we're
dumbfounded. Similar to this case
was a historical trial heard by Judge
Walton in Oxford county. A man was
charged with stealingtwo bags of corn,
and the evidence demonstrated to an
ordinary mind that he was guilty. The
jury, however, brought in a verdict Of
not guilty. '.prisoncr at the bar
said the Judge, 1.-The jury has decided
that YOU are not guilty. and the Court
orders that you be discharged, but the
Court admonishes you not to steal any
more corn."-Lcwislom (Me.) Journul.

The London Sensation.

LONDON, July lO.-Northumberland
street, where the Pail Mall Gazette
office is located, has all the afternoon
been packed from end to end with a
mass of excited people clamoring for
copies Of the paper containing the ex-
pose Of "gilded crime" As many as
5000 news sellers have at times been in
the crowd, Glowing and otherwise
struggling for an opportunity to pur-
chase copies Of the. Gazette. At 10
o'clock the pressure of the crowd was so
great that all the lower windows in the
Gazette building were crushed in.
When the doors of the publication
office We're opened for the sale of the
first edition this afternoon there was a
rush for papers, during which women
and boys We're knocked down. trodden
on and in many cases badly injured.
Despite the extraordinary preparation
to meet the demand. which the expe-
rience of the past three days taught the
proprietors Of the Gazette to make, the
sales this afternoon o exhausted the
edition. and the supply of paper giving
out, the papers We're stopped Tor several
hours before the requisite supplies could
be procured.
