wife Of the man who first introduced
the tonic sol ia system of music into
this country, and who is the founder of
the great Brotherhood of Christian
Unity" movement.
The Women's club, of Orange, is twen-
ty-one years old, nearly the age of Soro-
sis, and has included or still includes as
members and officers some distinguished
women-Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown,
president of the Federation of Women's
Clubs; Mrs. Antoinette Blackwell; Mrs.
DR.. Losier, now president of Sorosis, and
Mrs. Adeline Emerson Thompson, presi-
dent of the College Settlement associa-
ton.
Mrs. Seward disclaims any publicity
in connection with herself up to the
time of her election last March, but her
name has been frequently seen as the
composer of words for her husbands
music. She wrote as agnes Burney"
for years, until so many Of her works
were pirated that she thought best to
use her real name. She now signs her.

have been set TO various music, and the
original hymn has been published in va

however, when she attempts to be the
lover.
Because many noble women are pro-
crossing into wider fields of usefulness
and liberty, a great crowd of unbalanced
girls and women, lacking in refinement
ind restless with craze for excitement
md publicity, are elbowing their way
INTO public notice and overriding all
i'eas OF propriety in their desire to see
everything and do everything. Good
and delicate minded women ought TO
cry down this brood, and men ought to
snub them in their efforts to obtain at
tention which is not voluntarily given.
Whatever changes occur in the world,
let the good old custom of men doing
the wooing and asking continue.

THE osTRIcH AT HOME.

How the Big Birds Live in Their Native
STAT.
The ostrich has many strange ways.
and ! was particularly interested in
studying them They go in locks OF
three or four females and one male
ABOUT their nesting time, and for sew
eral weeks before locating their nests
the hens drop their eggs all about tho
pampaS These are called haucho
eggs pronounced 'watcho"D. and
are much moro delicate in flavor than
the eggs taken from the nests They
have IA thinner shell. and when fire n
lad are OF beautiful golden color.
We cooked them by roasting them
before the fire We would first break
hole in tho small end of the egg
large enough to insert a teaspoon.
The egg would be set up among some
hot ashes a pinch OF salt and pepper
put into 1t and the contents kept
stirred with q stick. so that all would
be done alike. The flavor is excel
lent and one egg would satisfy n very
hungry man.
AS soon as the ostriches decide
upon suitable place for nest the
male bird scratches away the grass
and slightly hollows the ground for a
space OF two feet in diameter All
the hens OF the Cock lay in the same
nest until there are from twenty i've
to thirty-iive eggs laid. The male
bird then takes possession and sits on
tho eggs until they are Matched AS
soon az the brood can leave the nest
the old fellow leads them away to feed
on flies and small! insectS and every
thing is lovely until he espies another
mail bird with brood As soon as
the Old birds see each other they
make Ia peculiar booming sound and
every little ostrich disappears in the
grass. The old ones then approach
eacA other and engage in a most
deadly conflict They fight until one
or the other is killed or runs away.
The remaining one will then utter an
other peculiar sound and both broods
will spring up from their hiding
places and follow the victor who
struts of as proud as a peacock. 1

An old exc onfederate soldier said to
us the other day that he felt he had
lived too long. He is IS true metal as
ever trod the earth. He left leg upon
the battle fields of Virginia while in the
service of his State. He had hoped
never to see theday when the escutch-
con of such men as Hampton would be
smeared by every ''ttle speaker upon
the political rostrusu, unless there was
just cause for it. ~
Well, it is enough to.make the patriot
bow his head in sadness and ask him
selftruly 'if these be not otstrange times"
But we would say to our friend, re-
member the crab nibbling at the heel Of
Hercules.
Hampton may have made mistakes,
but no one can deny that in his defeat
by the last Legislature, he showed the
true man that he is. He retired to pri-
vate life and not o murmer came from
him. His letter that is being criticized
was brought forth by an uncalied for
and unjustifable attack upon him by
Gov. TillmaD. The Herald and News
does not approve all Of his letter, but
when we criticize his letter we ought
also to remember the provocation and
give it and let the people decide.

it comes in the shape of an amendment

But Gov. Tillman is also advocating
constitutional convention. An effort
was made by the last Legislature to or
der such convention, but it failed to
pass. Dnring the discussion an amend
measwas offered that such constitution
when made be first submitted to the
people for ratification, but this was
forthwith voted down. 'a1 :..
Now comes Gov. Tillman in his
speech at Walhalla and admits that it
is not his purpose to let the people vote
on the constitution, if one be made.
Where is the force of the argument
that the people will be permitted to
vote on the s. poll tax? See?

The impression has been given out
that the Cedar Grove meeting, in An
derson County, at which Maj. Murray
was so brutally dealt with, was not a
regular meeting and shat he had no
business there. Maj. Murray is one OF
the electors on the Sheppard ticket. The
meeting at Cedar Grove was one of the
regular county campaign appointments
made by the County Executive Com-
mittee and should not be considered an
exclusive meeting in any sense, nor
to which Maj. Murray should not have
felt it his duty to go. =. e.. ..-

To show that taxes nave actually
been reduced and the people sayed
money, the Rev. Mr.. Sigh, the candi-
date for elector OH the Tillman ticket,
reads two tax receipts on 120 acres OF
land for two years. Every one knows
and admits that the levy has been re-
duced and that there has been no as
sessment of real estate for three or four
years, and of course the tax Oh that
land is a little less. But if Mr.. Ellerbe
and Gov. Tillman had their ideas car
ried out it would now be double what
it is. But even this does not prove
any economy or reform in the admin
istration of the government for the low
levy brought in more money and it was
spent. Where is the economy? Try,

There is possibly no man in South
Carolina who has been as much abused,
and upjustly, as Ex-Governor Richard
son has been fer the past few years by
his political enemies.
Gov. Tillman has endeavored very
hard to cast aspersions upon his char
acter and to bring his administration
into disrepute, but in every instance he
has signally failed.
When the expenditure of the fund
for the Executive Mansion by Gov.
Tillman was criticized he went to work
to find fault with Gov. Richardson s
expenditure of the same fund, and gave
that as an excuse for his own shortcom-
ings.
In examining the records he found
several items for which there were no
vouchers on file. Thai was brought
forth and the imputation was intended
to be made that the money was i'm
properly spent.
But Gov. Richardson has shown the
utter falsity of the accusatson and has
completely vindicated himself from the
aspersions that were intended to be
cast upon his good name. Read his
statement. It is scathing rebuke, but
it was justified by the unfairress of the
charge that was made against him.
Gov. Tillman ought most humbly to
apologize to Gov. Richardson.
The question now is what has become
of the vouchers. If they were placed
in the Comptroller's Office, as it seems
evident they we're, they ought still 10
be there.
We wonder if those papers that pub
lished Gov. Tillman's charge, will like
wise do the square thing and publish
Gov. Richardson's Yindication.

there has been an increase. Mr.. May
