WASHINGTON, March 21.-The news
ofthe death Of General Crook was a great
shock to the officials of the war depart
ment. Secretary Proctor was particularly
affected by the intelligence, as he had
very intimate associations with Crook dur
ing his visit to Washington a few weeks
ago. He sent a personal message of con
dolence to Mrs. Crook and ave instruct
ions for the preparation ola general order
announcing Crooks death to the army. The
order will recite the personal worth and
distinguished services of the deceased and
will direct that the flags at all military
posts be placed at half mast on the day OF
the funeral and also that the officers wear
the usual badge of mourning for thirty
days.

ted the danger That IN nfosinsl
order was framed asking for a ] con
tinuance, and that on that paper she
cases were continued. Mr.. Belling
believes that the community Of
Barnwell knew or should haye known
that the prayerof continuance was
not to defeat the ends of Justice, but
in order that a crime might not
be prepetrated perhaps in the pres
enceof the Court. Judge Kershaw
is reported as having said that iii (
such thing should happen he would
never visit the county again. Mr.
.Bellinger said that originally an
order had been passed by the Court
instruoting tho sheriff to guard the
prisoners. After the adjournment,
when it was believed that all danger
was removed, the guards were withs
drawn because the County Commis-
sinoers refused to pay the sheriff's
deputized officers at the Jail. "a new
order was then gotten out INSTRUCT.
ing the sheriff again, but the COM
missioncrs refused to pay the depns#
tics. 1t was an easy thing, there's
fore, for the lynchcrs to enter on
Friday night. The responsibility &
for the crime has, therefore, many
phases.

Forced interest in reading is the
progenitor of listlessness- --inatten-
tion and n host of bad mental habits.
Kindle the fire Of interest and read
ing feeds the flame. Reading is fuel
to the active mind, but to heap this
fuel on tho dull or unprepared mind,
is to smother the flame of intellectual
activity. There is no mind without
its interest in some wholesome thing.
The thoughts of others on subjects
of special interest to us will always
be read, and so u foundation for
right reading is laid. All knowledge
is related, and the step from one sub
ject to another is easily made, and
80 we rise to higher things. AS we
live and read, our interests widen,
and there is demand for more in
tellectual information. The man of
great interests is the great reader in
n right sense. Tho antcnnao of his
mind are out in all directions. He
is alive, alert, and in a receptive
mood, ready to assimilatc the
thought that he gets through read
ing. Gladstone is said TO be
an omnivcrous, reader. He gets
at the life blood of new
book without wasting time on
useless tissue. We know Grant rs a
warrior and statesman. We did
not think of him as a literary man
or as reader. But when he wrote
his book we found that he had been
agreat reader and profound thinker.
The ideal reader is not necessarily
the great reader. Tho book-worm,
the unindcxcd cyclop9dia, is pitia-
bic creature. The mere scholar is
a morbid product of a false ideal in
education. "Rcad," says Bacon,
"not to believe and take for granted,
but to weigh and consider" Per
haps the story of an Eastern college
President, may have some illustra-
tive value here. 1t was his custom
to daily assemble the students in the
chapel, and begin the exercises by
reading a chapter from the Good
Book. One evening some frisky
freshmen possessed themselves of
the book, and carefully glued to-
gcther two leaves, at the place for
the next days reading, so that the
President would turn over to find an
entirely now line of thought. Next
morning tho learned President
opened the book and proceeded to
read near the bottom of the page,
"And behold, Noah, being come to
years of manhood, took unto HIM
self a wife" Then gfavcly turning
the glued pages, he continued /:
Seventy cubits wide, two hundred
cubits long, made of hcwn timber,
and pitched, inside and out" So
alarming matrimonial venture con-
vulsed the students. Not SO the
President. IIo adjusted his glasses,
looked again at the text, and said /:
"My young friends, l have read this
book for many years, and | do not
remember having ever come to this
verse before, but / believe it, my
young friends, / believe it, and I ac-
cept it as an evidence that we are
fearfully and wonderfully made"

Tugaloo Home Correspondence.

IugAtOO Home CORRESPONDENCE
TJaAIoo, s. c., December 90, 1880.
DEAR CoURlER: We had oe,
casion to visit Westminster, Wal
halla, Fair Play, Anderson and La
vonia during the last fortnight.
We ore surprised and made to re-
joice to note the hand Of prosperity.
everywhere we go. In coming to
Walhalla we see the hand of pro-
gress all the way from home. Large
fields are being opened up, new
houses and handsome churches built,
improved implements of agriculture
and mechanism. Labor-saving in
ventions seem to have entered the
minds of the people at every turning
and we are made to exclaim, "thc
world moves" Every branch of in
dustry-moral, mental, physical or
spiritual, seems to "breathe along the
face of things" progressive pace
commensurate with fast age.
Everywhere we go we hear the saw
and hammer, the woodman's i,x, the
wild shriek of the engine. Westmin-
ster is steadily building up and ex-
tending her suburbs. Walhalla is no
more known by her cone street"
mountain home, but she, too, is cx-
tending her suburbs and We sec SO
many handsome cdificcs we hardly
know our county town as it was
once known, and although she can
not claim to be railroad center,
tho "dusky splendor" of her noun
tain scenery, her salubrious cline,
pure water, determined people, both
foreign and to the "mannor born"
warrants the conclusion that Wal
halla, the "happy home," is not a
mere name, but fact MS well. My
business was not litigation, although
it related to the sheriff, and at one
time he had lis confined in the iail,
he did not keep lis long and promised
(on ourgood behaviour of course) that
if we would stay all night that we
might remain in the lower story.
We have been the happy recipient
of friend Moss and his interesting
family's hospitality and had no
fears as to the entertainment, and
furthermore think he ise the right
man in the right place. But / must
say | never saw our county. Jail be-
fore and that it is the first time /
was ever confined in it! Mr.. Moss
and his family seem to be seriously
impressed with the Importance of
the religious result of the "Gospcl
Tent" and did not quote chad rather
be door-kceper in the house of the
Lord than to dwell in the tents of
wickedncss," but seemed to think a
great and good work had been done.
If the world was evangelical by
more of such men as Cowan we would
soon have less use for bar-ro0ms and
other discord, in the world, but we
must hurry on.
Fair Play is improving. Quite a
number of new buildings are going
up.
Anderson is good cotton market.
The price was 81 on Thursday. Her
streets were literally crowded and
business seemed to be on boom.
New buildings and new firms are
seen in every direction. The new
hotel, Masonic Temple and the new
cotton factory are all imposing
buildings. Anderson is soon to have
her water works and everything
seems to assume city aspect.
But to close this hurried letter we
would notice two hearts made one !:
Mr.. Tom Marct was married to Miss
Sudic Crawford, on Thursday night,
18th instant. AL! of Oconce.
