SPIRIT.

In budding splendor and most wilson's
With face down-drooped, lest its full grace
be seen,
In swaying bronzen glory OF her hair,
She violet-laden stands, her hat awry,
In artlessness artistic, and 80 fair
The amorous grasses kiss her garments
hem;
The willful clover bends its sturdy stem;
The winds embrace her as she passes by,
And birds In choric volubility
Startle the hillside's bright tranquility.
Is she some native spirit Of the wood,
Whom mighty Pan for very love hath
wooed
Here in the dewy shadow of the pines
And noisy silence Of the watchful morn,
That in quick light her beauty skii con.
fines
With gloriole resplendant TO adornl
What art thou, down-drooped and uncon-
scious face,
That flittest like Dryad's thro' the placer
Who art thou, creature Of the tender
dawn,
BY light conceived, and of the morning
bornl
With thunderous roar and diapason
strong,
From seraphim and heavens assembled
host
The undulating music sweeps along,
From crystal walls again to be retost
In quivering echoes to proclaim thy race
o, little solitary, tender facet
With hat awry and little shoes united,
hear thee by the echo glorifed,
OF the inflnitude Of saints forgiven,
"Of such as she, the kingdom is Of heaven. n

We are particularly favored in chanc-
ing to see the Victoria regia in full
bloom. 1t is a sight of which fairyland
might boast, and in truth the wondrous
lily seems a veritable queen of joys reign
ing in the midst of her devoted giants
the hardy green leaves. These latter lie
reversed on the surface of the water, in
Vulnerable veins criss-cross their surfaces
like lace work, and some of them are
almost six feet in diameter, so strong
looking as to make the romantic posi-
bility of lily-leaf couch a very easy
thing after all. The flower itself is en-
trancingly beautiful. Its pedals at the
base commence in delicate ethereal
pink, which imperceptibly blossoms into
a dazzling white tint as it nears the top,
and it is very small compared with its
gigantic surroundings, in the midst of
which it daintily poises in its exquisite
veliness.-London Cor. Philadelphia

The moS remarkable increase in the
value of an oil painting appears in the
case of Millets "Angehs"-two French
peasants bowling their heads in a potato
field at the sound of the distant church
bell. Millet sold it to Paris art dealer
for 800; the dealer sold it to NJ. Wilson,
Paris manufacturer, for $500; NJ.
Wilson sold it to NJ. Secretan, another
manufacturer, for S32, 900; NJ. Secretan
sold it to Paris art dealer, but soon re.
pointed and bought it back for $40, 1000
He has since been offered $50, 900 for it

to match this.-The Argonant.

bank has exposed the remains The
graves are about two feet below the sur

layer Of mussel shells and the graves
then filled with earth. The graves lie
closely together for considerable dis

have become soft by age and can be

LET the Punishment he Inflicted"
COLUMBIA. :. G.. Aug. ll.-Somc
time ago the Chronicle mildly advised
the News and Courier to let Georgia
politics alone as it would soon be mon
kcylng with its own Gubcrnatoriai buzz
saw" The News did not take this adj
vice, rs it felt sure of the success Of its
own candidate in South Carolina, and
preferred TO extend its operations be-
vond the borders OF the muddy Savan-
nah. IF it had wisely listened to the
advice of its amiablc contemporary it
might have met with greater success at
home. Its candidate for Governor was
defeated and 1t is in much the same con-
dtion that it charged the Chronicle with
being after the Bacon defeat. in "A very
unhappy frame of mind" 1t is easily
worried ana the slightest alluSiOn to
combination, etc., is exceedingly ''rcN-
atious."
Your correspondent vcntured to re-
peat rumor current during the Con-
vention that "a part Of the Charleston
delegates only gave Col. Miles half
hearted support" The News and Cou-
ricr to-day vigorously denies the ''cr;lcl
story.n and then proceeds to prove its
correctness. 1t says: with but .tv"r
or fire disSentiny rotcs, the Charleston
delegation resolved that it was Injurious
to have two candidates for State offices
and the preference Of the delegation, n
ubom the same ratio was for Mr.. Miles,"
&c. There were then flour or five" OF
the delegates who were not ''cnthusiaS-
tic" supporters for Mr.. Miles; and who
preferred to retire Mr.. Miles i'll favor OF
General McCrady's candidacy.
Your correspondent simply repeated
4 rllmor which has now been confirmed
by the News and Courier. and if that
journal wants to ''plllory" anybody II
is respectfully referred TO the writer OF
the editorial from which 7 have quoted.
Let the punishment be inflicted. Ii the
News and Courier is not satisfied with
its own confirmation Of the report let it
order Il poll Of the Charleston delegation
and sec if it cannot find some "halt-
hearted supporters" Of Mr. Niles among
those delegates. If it fails to discover
amy such individual. your correspondent
will make the proper correction. In
the meantime. with the report corrob-
grated by the News and Courier. he
does not iccl at liberty 10 rctract. 70

parttre for the river at l O'Clock. If this
DC true, publication of the facts ought to
bring an explanation. and it will be
evident that the tragedy was the result
of accident or design in time Of mental
distraction. Otherwise the mystery will
remain, for it cannot be imagined what
person would have motive for Turing
Miss Cureton to the river bank to muir
der her or how a murder could have been
committed without a trace Of the MUIR

theory that Miss Cureton may have
reaR2y gone to mectsom friend and fallen
into the river while waiting is met by
the fact that nobody was seen in the
neighborhood and that no affair OF the
kind. could have been carried to that
length without the knowledge OF the

Mysterious Disappearance of Il Married
Man and Il Widow


On Monday, tho End of August, says
the Abbcvillc Messenger, J. p. Vaughn.
4 respectable and wcll-to-do citizen Of
the Sharon neiyhborhood, left home
with his mules and wagon, to do some
hauling. he said, in the neighborhood Of
Mt. Carmel. About the same time Il
Mrs. Sutherland, a widow with five
children, OF the same ncighborhood, dis.
appeared. Inquiry in the Mt. Carmel
ncighborhood has disclosed the fact that
Mr.. Vaughn has not been there i'll the
past ten days. These two occurrences
put together have caused quite a COM
motion in the usually quiet ncighbor-
hood, and speculation runs high as to
the cause Of the disappearance of these
parties. These mules driven by Mr..
Vaughn, we understand, are mortgagcd
to Mcssrs. Wallingiord and Russell. and
IN addition to that, Mrs. Vaughn. the
wife of. p. Vaughn, has given Wal
lingford and Russell 4 mortgage OH L
piece of land owned by her. The SEEM
ingly deserted wife was III town ycstcr-
day in consultation with attorneys. to

Vaughn has heretofore borne Il good

The Democrats are in considerable OF a
tangle all over the country, but their
quarrels are chiefly over internal faction

settled in convention. Many men now
in Congress will mol return, but it is
claimed by Democrats that the grand

Gratis in the next Congress AS this, if
not more. One Of the best Informed
Democrats about the House told Star
reporter to day that he found. after a
careful study Of the situation, that there
were Just five States where the Republl-
cans might make gains. These were
Michigan. Illinois. Indiana, Iowa and
Ohio. They would probably gain two

he halls from Wappctaw. Christ Church
Parish. called for conference OF the

held and Ostcndorlr claimed that he had
been elected county chairman lor four
years, and that he still held over for
two years longer. In this he was sup
ported by W. II. Ahrens, Of Summer
VILE, and W. II. Thompson, colorcd,
an old politician and would-bc Con-
grcssman. The precinct chalrmcn dis
allowed Ostcndorl's claim. and alter SO
rcporting the convention broke up N
general confusion.
\ little while after this irregular adj
iourlmcnt Senator Simmons called a
meeting Of ''all good Republicans OF

Simmons made little speech, the gist
