COLUMBIA, S. c., April 12.-Willie
Lcaphart was to-day taken back to
Lexington. a committee Of Lexington
citizens appointed at the meeting yes

They stated that they could not under
stand his action in secretly ordering
Leapheart's reprieve and removal to
Columbia after be had publicly declined
to pardon him. The Governor impress
ed upon them that he had no alter
native but to suspend sentence when
Judge Wallace recommended it for the
purpose of allowing motion for new
trial by reasol of an affidavit which
contained material evidence. He said
he had already refused finally to inter
fere with the sentence of the court, but
his granting Of the judges recommen-
dation for reprieve was obligatory.
The committee then had an interview
with the Judge and Informed him that
they desired the return of the prisoner
to Lexington, and that they stood ready
pledged to his personal safety. The
Judge then commended them for their
sentiments and gave them arecommen-
dation to the Governor for the return
Of Leaphart, in which the Governor
acquiesced.
The committee pledged their honor
as gentlemen for the personal safety of
Leaphart, and after an order for his
delivery was signed by the Judge be
was taken to Lexington by the COM
nittee, who left the city this evening
in buggies.

THE FAILURE OF CROPS In
THE WEST.

Bishop Fitzgerald in the Nash
vile Advocate of the 9Th inst, thus
describes the effect Of the severe
drought:
"The effects Of the long. drought
were distressingly visible in Indiana,
Illinois, and Missouri. We only got
glimpses of st. Louis and Kansas
City. Wide, fiat, fertile Kansas, we
found in a bad way. Leagues upon
leagues Of corn fields were "burnt
up" as the farmers expressed il, by
the drought; they were as yellow as
broom-sedge and as dry as tinder.
In many places, the failure is total.
They were cutting the blasted stalks
for fodder in many fields, but in
Others the stalks were not worth
cutting. The farming outlook was
not cheerful. / liked the spirit Of
one citizen who, in reply to some re-
mark concerning the blasted corn
crop, said thankfully, ave made
lots Of good wheat" IL Is good to
mix gratitude with even our sorest
griefs.
Kansas looks like a vast level
farm. The sight Of Tennessee
forest, hill, or cool spring would
have been refreshing that hot, sultry
day as we rolled on mile after mile
with the parched fields stretching
way on either side until the tired
eyes ached. Next year il is likely
that this desert will bloom again as
a garden. Kansas is q land Of ex-
tremes, one year having a great
drought, and the nexta great har-
vest"

The sun had Just broken over the
tops Of the Ozarks one warm morn
ing in July. The mist that always
settles thickly over these half noun
tains with the nightfall was gong
to pieces and diappearing as the sun
rose higher, leaving the green and
dense verdure heavy and wet with
the dew. In a cosy nook on q log
overhanging the wild little stream
that dashed down from q gushing
spring above, a native was seated
earnestly playing a iewsharp. He
twanged the vibrant metal with his
thumb, kicking time by splashing
one Of his bare feet in the clear
water. After ten minutes, during
which time the sun had got high
enough to shine straight in his eyes,
be took the harp from his mouth
and, wiping it on the leg of his
trousers, exclaimed:
"Thar! Ef thet don't settle'er,
whut wIll?"
Before he had spoken another
word a stranger stepped from be-
hind a big tree and addressed him:
"That was the best tune | ever
heard played on one of those in
struments."
The mountaineer looked at the
stranger a moment and then, draws
ing himself up in a knot on the log,
SAID:
"D'ye mean it, mister?"
"Mean 1t? Of course. Why do
you ask?"
sits like this, mister. Yer see /

As the stranger moved on down
the path the mountaineer struck uE
his tune again and played with .
vim that wal evidence that tht
stranger had been telling him the
truth.
Along with the fiddle, the jews
harp still ranks high as a musical
instrument in the mountain regions
Of Arkansas and Missouri. A native
who can't play the jewsharp. is
looked upon as having very poor
prospects.

Youths Companion.
The conversation of the best bred
people is delightfully."- free from per-
sonalities. "What did she talk
about?" asked ons lady. of . friend
who had just made a call upon e
newcomer in the town.
"She talked Of people, was the
quiet answer. sShe told me news
about persons I had never seen and
unknown to me, and called them by
their Christian names"
The fact was significant; il indI-
Gated the strangers Characteristics,
and settled the position which she
was thereafter to occupy in the
| place.
Sometimes mere carelessness
prompts such personal gossip, and
again it springs from poverty Of
mind.
Il didn't have anything TO say"
replied a worthy old lady whose
husband had rebuked her for enter
tanning some guests with personal
tiles, "and | had to say something
Sothat something" becomes .gos-
sip, and gossip degenerates into
scandal. One cannot always re-
member that good breeding as well
as the Christian religion requires
him to consider things and ideas
rather than people.
A gentle and kindly old minister
had rather an alarming way Of
checking the conversation when it
touched personality.
"0f course" he would say when a
parishioner told him sin confidence"
some tale which detracted from the
reputation Of another, "of course /
shall feel at liberty to tell him ex-
actly what you say. He ought to
know for his own good" And af-
ter that depressing threat the tale
bearer was usually very willing to
hold his peace.
The well bred man not only re-
Trains from speaking evil, but
scorns to notice it when it assails
his own name. The daring motto
belonging to the Keiths Of Scotland,
'TheY say. Whatthey? Let them
say" is that Of gentlemen the world
over. 49,.
1t should be the resolution Of
every guest in any house to carry
thither no shred Of personal gossip.
| On the great archway of an English
residence are inscribed the words:
Bring good news, and knock

ment in the last Congress in opposi-
tion to the Mills Bill, (the reader Of
THE RECORDER, will remember that
we published Mills's address to the
farmers Of Texas last June, which
was calculated to afford some relief
to the burdened taxpayers Of the
country. But Mr.. Allison's consti-
tuents were not so blind az he sup
posed, and the indignant farmers Of
Iowa came very near defeating his
reelection. The result was that
Mr.. Allison began to discover that
he was wrong on the tariff issue,
and he now seems anxious to have
his former friends believe that he
looks at matters in that connection
in the light that is altogether new
and improved. But who seriously
questions that, having secured a re-
newal Of his seat in Congress, he
will be less the servant Of the mon-
opolists than heretoforel As long
as he retains his present political
affiliations he cannot be otherwise.
. A similar, and perhaps more
striking case is furnished BY Iowa's
next door neighbor, the State of
Minnesota. The present Governor
of that State was elected as an
avowed proteetionist. His majority
was not large, and there is every
probability that if he were to run
again upon the same platform he
would be defeated, and by the far
mel vote. There are said to be
nearly eight hundred branches of
the Farmers Alliance in that State,
and all are more or less imbued with
tariff reform ideas. The effect OF
this situation upon Minnesota's
governor is, that he has suddenly
seen a wonderful light. Instead Of
now holding, as he declared during
the recent campaign, that lit is i'm
material. practically, what things
are protected and what is the amount
of protection" he has Just given
utterance to the following senti-
nlents'before a farmers convention:
The expenses Of administration
have to be borne, but In my judg-
ment the necessary revenue for the
purpose should fall upon the should
ers able to bear il. Tax the silks,
the diamonds, the liquor, and tobac-
co, and remove 1t from those neces-
sary articles most widely diffused in
their use. Selling our products, as
we do, in competition with the
markets of the world, and compelled,
as we now are, to accept uDremuner-
ative prices, the people should not
be hampered with legislation effect
ed for the benefit Of any especial
classes, which deprives them Of no
inconsiderable portion Of the fruits
Of their toll. The tax levied upon
articles Of food of various kinds, as
well as upon many staples Of COM
mon requirements, is a burden upon
every farmer of the State, and the
laws governing these levies should
be changed ornullified at the earliest
practicable moment. IL is certain
that the Western farmer should be
relieved FROM taxes that are insti-
tutsd in the interest Of any particu-
lar locality, industry, or aggregation
Of capital"
