Our Natural Language.

A few years ago society of eminent
men in Paris discussed the question
"What language would child naturally
speak if never taught?" The deyout
Catholics were of the opinion that the
Hebrew language would be spoken in
these circumstances.
One scientist was of the opinion that
some form of the Chinese language would
be the natural tongue. Twenty different
results were predicted.
At last it was decided to test the mat
ter, and a committee was appointed to
carry out the experiment.
Two infants were procured and put in
the charge of deaf and dumb woman
who lived in the Alps, and made living
by rearing chickens and tending sheep.
The woman was given strict injunc.
tions to allow no one to speak to these
children, and as her cottage was some
miles distant from any neighbor, the cir
cumstances surrounding the experiment
were very favorable.
Years rolled on, and many of the
members of the society had lost sight OF
the interesting experiment. Some mem
bers of the committee died, and there
was great danger of the results of this
wonderful test being lost to the world.
Fortunately, two of the members OF
the committee kept faithful watch on the
case, and when the children were six
years old brought them, with their nurse,
into a meeting of the "savants." Every
member was on the tiptoe of expectation
as to the result. Not one word could
either of the children utter; their only
form of language was wonderfully good
imitation of the growing of cock or
cackling of hen, or the bleating of a
sheep. The predictions of science were
totally upset by practical experiment.

it would have been nearer the truth if it
had been written injustice" instead of
compliment. Here is an instance: A
young man decides that he has reached
an age when it would be well for him to
take wife and settle down. lie has
just started in life, and has enough to
furnish house plainly and comfortably.
He aud all his friends think the best
thing he can do is to marry. He looks
around for wife. Does he look for one
in the same station with himself? For
one who is earning her own living, who
has had experience in the school Of
economy, who has had a hard struggle
and has come off conqueror, and would
be true helpmate to him, and who
wants helpmate for herself? No. He
goes into society and looks around for
the best and most attractive girl he can
find. He meets beautiful young lady,
delicately brought up, fasbionably edu.
Gated, amiable, confding and helpless.
He is charmed and decides she is the
one he would like to marry. There his
reasoning stops. He "makes love-" of
course, and Compliments" her with the
offer of bis hand.
Buff he would look on the other side
for moment, and ask himself why he
wants that beautiful girl, graceful, intel
ligent and lovely, he would be forced to
reply .."I want her to cook, make my
beds, clean my house, darn my hose,
watch longingly for my return, put up
with my ill.humors, economize in every
particular for my benefit, be the mother
of my children, and bring them up prop
erly and in return for this I will sup.
port her, allow her to bear my name, and
when she dies I'll give her q Christian
burial" Now, if he looked squarely at
this side of the question, he would not
be likely to feel that he was doing such
very complimentary thing, nor go about
it so complacently. And if the young
lady saw the realistic side, without the
gloss and roseste hue of poetry, she
would not consider that she had been so
very highly complimented by the offer.
Young ladies who happen to marry
late should bear in mind that if they get
good husband they have done well by
waiting and if they get bad one it is
proof they did not wait long enough. If
they never marry at all they may con.
sole themselves with the thought that
they have escaped q world of trouble,
and that there are always some married
women who envied their lot

Like Father, Like Son.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Depart
ment of State received to day report
from Mr.. Osborn, Minister TO Brazil, in
regard to the arrest and Imprisonment OF
Beckford Mackey, United States Consul
at Rio Grande do Sui, Guatemala. Con-
sui Mackey has also written letter to
his relatives here giving an account OF
the difficulty.
It appears that ckey had for many
weeks been violently assailed for no as
certaiDed cause in the columns of news,
paper at Rio Grande do Sui. The editor,
Mr.. Amorim, sent Mackey note by a
messenger on April 18th, proposing that
if he subscribed for the paper it would
cease to attack him. He declined the
offer and kicked the messenger out of his
Office. On the next day the editor made
scurrilous attack on Mackey and as
sailed his mother, an excellent lady, dis.
tinguished for her piety, residing in
Washington. On the same evening as
Consul Mackey entered the theatre he
was confronted by Amorim with an up.
lifted stick. Mackey at once struck him
heavy blow in the face with his walk
ing cane. His assailant drew his pistol,
but before be could fire the Consul shot
him twice and he fell to the floor.
Mackey, accompanied by the Consul
of the German Empire, repaired to a
police magistrate and surrendered him:
self Amorim, whose wounds proved
not to be severe, then arrived at the
head of an armed band of ruf6ans and
demanded that Mackey should be sur
rendered to him. The police officers
were overawed and fed, but Mackey
drew his pistol and kept the mob at bay
for few minutes, when number OF
citizens, headed by the German Consul,
arrived and rescued him from his assail-
ants, who we're advancing with knives
drawn.
Mackey is held a prisoner as the offeDse
is not bailable. All the foreign consuls
have visited him in body and have
signed statement justifying his action,
while hundreds Of leading citizens have
rendered him their aid and a leading
lawyer of that province has volunteered
for his defense. His trial will take place
next week.
Mackey is young man in his twenty
third year. He graduated with the
highest honors at Pho Mono College,
Macon, Ca, and later at the Law school
of Georgetown University, where he was
appointed Consul. He is q son of Judge
T. J. Mackey, of South Carolina.

for them, for she expects me to, and so
this lack of union is blessed thing for
the children, and saves them many

she makes some awful demonstrations,
which the children understand. Her
promises never come due, and are, there.
fore, never performed. They are to get
thousand whippings some time away
of yonder. The grown up ones hold her
due bills now. Mrs. Arp has got room.
Every good mother has room, a room
that is hers. It is her castle, her palace
and her prison. She lives in that room,
and sews and knits and reads and nurses
her brains in sickness and in health.
TITS there she holds her courts and settles
iufantile disputes and gives smiles and
frowns and sighs, motherly queen over
her little household. 1t is there she
dreams of the happy days of her child
hood and ponders over the past and
dwells in sweet and sad memories over
her own dear kindred who are dead and
gone, and over her children who are up
yonder waiting for her to come. It is
there she keeps the dear old trunk that
has got many little treasured relic in it,
a lock of golden hair, tiny shoe, q ring,
a locket or something. This room is
almost sacred not quite, for we all in
trude upon it, but it is hers-emphati-
cally hers, and it must not be made too
common, for it is sacred to her peace and
dignity and when the children run over
the house and frolic they must not run
in there and they know it, for sometimes
she is sick and sometimes tired and
sometimes sad.
But the other day Carl forgot himself
and was playing tag in the house and two
or three times he had run through his
mothers room and she had reproved
him, and so when he came round again
she just reached back in the corner for
the new buggy whip and the next time
he came round she gave him q stinging
lick right on his bare legs. Well, it lik.
ed to have killed him for it left the marks
like ringworm and he just squatted and
rubbed and yelled amazin'. These knee
breeches are mighty hard on BOYS. She
didn't mean to do it, and as / looked
through the window I saw her lowering
over the little chap and apologizing, and
she annoited his legs with ointment aud
got out her candy (she always keeps some

he wanted, but not to run 80 hard.

his fortune in that new country, but, like
so many other adventurers, succeeded
only in spending what he had. Consump:
ton, the family scourge, soon claimed
him. He died in youth in California,
and there lies buried.
William Lowndes, fifth and youngest
of Mr.. Galhoun's sons, was educated in
Columbia at the South Carolina College.
he there formed an attachment for Miss
Margaret Cloud, of Winnsboro', then at
school in that city. The Senator was
accustomed to say that he would never
cross the affections of any of his children,
and he never made fortune an object with
regard to the marriage of any of them.
The only conditions upon which he in
sisted were a due education and social
position, and none of his children ever
wishes to trangress these limits. This
lady died within a short time of her
marriage. Like his brothers, William
Calhoun married again, and like them,
while still young, be showed symptoms
of consumption. His decline was very
rapid, and in few weeks he died at
Abbeville, leaving widow and infant
child. He was buried at the Stone
Church by the side of his brother Patrick,
and his remains also were afterward
removed to the Episcopal graveyard,
where so many of this family rest togeth>
er.. We believe that his son OF the same
name, still survives.
