TIE Greenyille News says probably
the best assurance of the continuance
of the large counties undisturbed and
undivided is in the number and eager
ness Of the claimants for court house
houors. There are so many Of them
that even the most extensive and IN
eenious carving of the old counties
will not provide territory or popula-
ton enough to 60 around unless some
arrangement can be made to allow
them to subsoil and create and annex
second story under ground. While
the rival new counties contend for the
territory of the old ones the territory
is left undisturbed

son as whole, as file of these bulle'
tins is better record, except to say
that, everything considered, the farm,
els of South Carolina have abundant
reason to feel satisfied with the sea-
sons results, for while some crops
were undoubtedly short others were
correspondingly large.
Although the weather conditions
may not have been perfect, and the
GRO ps might have been larger, yet few,
if any, States Jared better, while many
Jared worse. The entire absence OF
destructive storms of wind, rain or
hail is worthy of notice.
Note.-With this issue the South
Carolina weather and crop bulletins
are discontinued for the season OF
1895. The bulletins have contained a
general but faithful record of the
weather that prevailed over the entire
State from week to week. It was left
largely to the reader of the bulletins
to use his own judgment as to the ef-
feet Of the weather on the crops, al
though the actual condition of the
crops was accurately reported by the
correspondents, and reproduced IN
the bulletins, and in their reports the
final yield of the principle crops were
foreshadowed long before maturity.
1t is, therefore, a subject of regret that
the reports could not have been pub
lished in full.
The director takes this opportunity
of thanking the correspondents most
heartily and sincerely for their coop
Grafton, for the director shares, only
as one of them, the credit due for the
merit and value the bulletins had. Of
ten the language, always the prevail
ing tone of the reports, was used IN
writing the bulletins. As the weekly
reports are DO longer needed, cores
pondents will please discontinue them
for the year.

Interesting "Reminiscences Of the Swedish
Nightingale"
Among the most interesting of those
of whom John Arlington Symonds gives
"reminiscences III his recently published
autobiography is Nine. Jenny Lind
Goldschmidt, of whom the image has
faded away for the present generation,
like that of all whose power was dis
played on the %ephemeral sphere of the
stage. He gives a very charming &C
count of this simple minded, gracious
and womanly singer, who had the high
est devotion to her art, saying, II sing
to God, !" and whose home life and man
ners were those of simple affection and
womanliness. Jenny Lind had passed
beyond the bloom of youth when Sy-
monds saw her, and her marvellous voice
was beginning to lose it's power, but
her artistic method was as pure as ever.
and her expression as magical. The fol-
lowing is his impression of her singing:
Mime. Goldschmidt came on second
in On Mighty Peans. She was quite in
black and looked to me an old, worn
lady. with "a large head and a small per-
son.. She wore no crinoline, and her
dress, with its loose waist, reminded me
of grandmamma's. At the first tones of
her voice l quivered all over. 1t was
not her wonderful execution, her pathos.
varying expression, subtle in1exibility,
that surprised me, but the pure timbre,
which SO vibrated and thrilled my very
soul that tears came into my eyes. The
volume of tone she threw out and then
diminished to a whisper, which per-
meated the room; the d~iminuendoes and
crescendoes, the nightingale metallic
strokes, brilliant accents and floods of
swift. successive notes I expected, but l
had not realized such quality of voice"
He gives a charming picture of the
home of the Goldschmidts at Oak Lee.
and this account of the aging oantatrice
singing to her bird is very graceful:
"a blackbird hung in a cage outside
the door. Nine. Goldschmidt went up
and talked to it Come, pretty bird,
pretty, pretty little bird, do give us
a little song. We want to hear you sing
SO much, you pretty, pretty little bird,
IN such a c~oaxing way that the bird, who
had been shy at first, got down and
came close to her and put its head on
n side to listen. Then Nine. Gold
schmidt sang to it roulades and long
shakes and high, sharp notes which
made the bird most inquisitive. But he
continued silent until she turned to 60,
aud then he gave a loud, shriil chirrup.
