AT THE TABLE.-Young psople do
not always make as great an effort as
they should to be at the table promptly,
II bell is rung, begin to get ready
when it rings. They should be ready to
80 instantantly on the ringing of the bell.
That is the oply way-.o be ready before
the call is made. 1t is not only annoying
to others, but it is disrespcctlul to pa
rents, when the children arc notprompt-

your place with clean hands, hair neatly
brushed and clothes properly arranged
above all, with pleasant and kindly words.

VIII be amply able to build and support
such college without any increase of
taxation, as the saving by refundins the
debt will amount to $4,000 a year
|at least, AS regards the Clemson be-
quest, the Governor holds that it would
|uot compart with the interest of dignity
Eof the State to accept it before it is as
Fcertalned that the institution shall 'for-
ever remain under the supreme and con-
troll of the State.'
Ihe Governor describes very care
fully the condition and prospects of the
State Military Academy, and recon-
NEEDS that the entire amount received
from the general Government for rent
ana ior damages, amounting to $77, ,25O:
liess the sum due for collection,) shall
be applied to rebuilding the west wing
of the Citadel, and to the better eouipo
lment and general Improvement of the
school. The reasoning of the Go,sr-
nor on this point is particularly clear
and strong.
Clahin College for the colored people
has made good showing, and the con-
tinuance Of of the special appropriation
rs recommended, as is the usual appro-
priation for the Deaf and Dumb and
blind institution, with special appropria
lions for a building for colored pupils
and for water supply.
The Governor reviews the operntions
.of the department. of agriculture and re-
marks that tits good work is apparent
ana IS more appreciated the more
sit is investigated and understood.
sfhe experimental Stations are at Col
ambia, Spartanburg and Darlington.
Ineir work has been extensive. I'm
sortant lines Of Investigation have been
entered npon and much valuable exper-
ience has been acquired.
The condition OF the State Peniten-
tiary is more satisfactory than it has
oeen Tor some years, as the income from
all sources has been slightly in excess of
'ho expenses. 1t appears in their agri-
cultural operations the Penitentiary
board have lost $3.50 by floods 10
.swo years. Without this thew would
sow have surplus of 100000. The
outlook sor next year is considered salts

sahon will be self-supporting. The

THE CHANCELLOR AGAINST THE EMPRESS
lsY cABtE TO TIE TRrBUSEl
ospyrr0t; 1sss; BY The Nslo. York Tribune.
LONDON, April TT does not suit the English
press TO tell the whole truth about the events
at Berlin which led to what they call threat
OF resignation by Prince Bismarck. The con-
troversy about marriage between Princess Vic
tora and Prince Alexander OF Battenberg is but
the latest incident in contest which has now
pisted more than twenty years. The present
Impress while Crown Princess, was Prince Bis
niafcKs personal and political opponent. 1t il
hos necessary to say that she was q leader in
all or any of the innumerable Court cabals and
intrgues continuously concerted against the Chan
cellor and his policy. But she was consciously
or unconsciously most useful ally Of all these
princely and grand-dIcal conspirators. There
was no secret about her hostility to Prince Bis
marck, or his to her. SO great was her ascend
ahcy over her husband that all Germany knew
that II the Crown Prince ever became Emperor
she would bring him into collision with his
great Minister
mat is what has now happened. Nobody knows
better than the Empress that a marriage between
the German Emperor's daughter and the ex-Princc
OF Bulgaria is totally opposed to the German policy
ana would lead straight to an open breach with
Russia. That has not prevented her from en-
couraging her girls fancy and pressing on this
unwse project.
1t was challenge that Prince Bismarck could
not refuse to take up. He dealt with it after his
fashion. lie has not resigned nor offered his
resignation. What he has done is to assure the
Emperor that if this scheme were carried out and
the marriage took place, he could not continue to
orer to His Majesty the advice respecting Imperial
affairs which his Majesty, by asserting to this
alliance, would have put it out Of his power to
accept. The plain English Of it all is that the
Emperor must make his choice between the En-
press and Prince Bismarck as his counsellor in
Affairs Of State. Practically, his choice is made
for him. Germany is not going to part with her
Chancellor to humor charming young lady's whim
for gallant Prince. G. vs.
