All the comment the Northern DEM
ocrntic journals make upon the bull
doing canvass in South Carolina is
the sneering one that the republicans
have started the old outrage mill
again. All the republicans have done
Is to charge systematic plan Of negro
terroriZing upon Hampton and his
party, and this charge is admitted to
be true by the Hampton organs. The
Northern democrat runs, as usual, to
tOady to his Southern master.


This has always been the case.
There has never been but one treat
ment of anything which was alleged
against the infamous wrongs commit
ted upon the rights Of citizens in the
South, and that has been the cry of
"bloody Shirt" or the republican
outrage MILL" Here and there posi-
bly, some journals have kept silent,
but as rule their answeristo ridicule
and make a jest of the most infamous
wrongs committed upon both whites
and blacks in the South. Democracy
rejoiced in the days of rebellion at
rebel victories. and now they rejoice
at democratic bulldozing in the South
The heart that prompted the former
is the father of the latter sentiment.
They both spring from the same foun-
tain.

maritan of the North may relieve in
the midst Of pestilence-the outcome
is the same. The red shirts, the
moonshiners, the kuklux are let to
run riot and the complaint made is
"the republican outrage MILL"

Until recently there has come to the
Dead-letter Division of the Post-of1ice
Department, with the regularity of the
daily mail, letter bearing the post

simply ''Philip Gregory, ESQ.," on the

trustful, never upbraiding. They ever
bore the assurance of her faith in his

went by, the lines grew tremulous with
age, ,-but the love they uttered was young
and strong and constant At last they
came no more, and a loss was felt in the
musty dimness of the dead-letter files
by the toilers there, as if some old friend
had been stricken by the hand of death.
There being nothing in them to indicate
the residence of the writer, they were
destroyed, being of ''nO value" Thus,
every day in the year, from the morning
of maidenhood to the evening of old
age, did this ''daughter of tears'' send
forth letter to her lost lover, hoping
one might chance to reach him; but he

SAND FOR BEDprNa.-A correspondent
of the New England Farmer advocates
the use of dry sand for bedding horses
and cattle. He thinks that it is the
ceanest substance which can be used,
and it is of great mechanical advantage
in dividing tie manure. Horses and cat
tie tramp upon it and in that way cause
it to cut up the manure. Spread under
hen roosts it acts to keep the floor clean,
and makes the manure easy to handle
Then manure mixed with sand can be
kept in boxes and barrels without giving
of any unpleasant odors. 1t is an excel
lent compound TO use for manuring in
the hill, aud is the very best substance
to put in fower-pots or in beds where
hardy plants are grown. A mixture Of
sand aud muck is greatly superior tc
muck alone for bedding purposes, as the
sand will divide the muck and thorough,
ly mix in with the manure. Any manure
ia which sand is mixed is easy to handle,
and may be spread with uniformity.

BREAD.--TLe following is the recipe
by which the celebrated Vienna bread
was made that became so famous on the
Centennial grounds for its deliciousness
as to command fair prices; indeed, to
sell for far more than it was worth:


"Sift in q tin pan four pounds of flour,
bank it UP against the sides, pour in
one quart Of milk and water, and mix
into it enough flour to form thin bat
ter; then quickly and lightly add one
pint of milk in which is dissolved one
ounce of salt and one and three quar-
ter ounces of yeast leave the remainder
OF the flour against the sides of the pan
cover the pan with cloth and set it in
place free from draught for three-quar-
ters OF an hour; then mix in the rest of
the flour until the dough will leave the
bottom and sides of the pan, and let it
stand two and half hours. Finally,
divide the mass into one pound pieces,
to be cut in turn into twelve parts each.
This gives square pieces about three and
o half inches thick, each corner of
which is taken up and folded over the
centre, and then the cases are turned
over on a dough-board to rise for half
an hour, when they are put into a hot
oven and baked in ten minutes"

VIII you love me, dear, mid the falling leaves


AS you did in the Springtime hours,
Ere time had garnered the golden sheaves


Or withered the woodland flowers?
AS you did when down by the rivers side,


You told me an olden story,
AS the light on the purple hill-tops died,


And DER us threw its glory.
When the voyage of life had just begun,


And softly down Times stream,
The silver stars at set of sun,


Shown holy as a seraph's dream.
When rosy morning on the mountain


Scattered far the shades of night,
And from the flowers by the fountain,


Dew-drops fell in gems of light.
VIII you love me, dear, mid the falling flowers,
AS you did, when Ger the meadows
Lay the spell OF our youthful hours,


And dreamy May-moon shadows?
For Love is life, and when at last,


My head is silvered Ger,
May my lot in love be cast


To bloom on the other shore.

morning last to learn of the death of
DIR James Green Boyd. He was the
oldest physician in the county, and one
of the ablest. He had been the post
master at this place for many years,
and was also a prominent Odd Fellow.
He moved from Virginia to the neigh
borhood of old Shady Grove near Mi
Ian at an early age and grew to mans
hood, lived and died in the midst of
the people of his adoption. A man OF
stalwart frame and strong constitu-
tion, he devoted himself with ar.
dor and enthusiasm to his extended
and laborious practice, until succumb-
ing about four years ago he was strick-
Ell with paralysis, since which time he
has been much enfeebled. During
the past summer he has suffered much
from malarial influences, and when
last week he was seized with bilious
fever he fell an easy victim to a dis
ease which, under other circumstan-
ces would not probably have proved
fatal. Perhaps no man, in person.
al capacity, ever enjoyed to a higher
degree the confidence and love of his
neighbors and acquaintance than did
DIR Boyd. He was the friend of eve-
ry one, the poor were his flock, the
needy never left his door unfed, the
afflicted found comforter, and, to
friend and stranger his practice, his
time, and his medicines were almost
gratuitous. He was liberal to fault.
Careless of his own pecuniary interests,
he lived the life Of the..poor in his old
age. His life was devoted to the heal
ing ofthe sich. To our people, knows
ing him as they did, his memory is
something to be loved, honorcd and
cherished. If purity of daily life, if
IostentatiOus charities, if lDve for his
fe lows shall count for ought in tha.
| f. beyond to which he has gone,
his future is not void of that reward
promised by Him who has said, 1.-THE
greatest of these is charity" Several
years ago he was con nverted and join
ed the church, since which time he has
been in the full enjoyment of the
Christian life. During his last illness
he spoke with great difficulty, but
made known to those around him that
he was thinking of the great wealth
OF happiness that was awaiting him
beyond the grave" We feel assured
that he now enjoys the full realization
Of his favorite song, Nearer Ny God
to Thee"


We have had in our midst, in the
death Of DR. and Mrs Boyd, an exams
pie of that wonderful love between
husband and wife, which binds them
together through a 10 .g and eventful
life, and which separated them not in
death. Depending upol each other
solely for love and sympathy they had
often prayed that neither should be
left to mourn the other, and beautiful
indeed was the fulfilment of their
prayer. "They were lovely and pleas
ant in their lives, and in their death
they were not divided" When sick
ness laid its heavy hand upon her hus-
band this devoted wife exerted all her
strength to nursing and caring for his
every want, until overcome by excite
ment and grief she fell helpless by his
side, lingering only few hours after
his death for the summons to join him
beyond the grave. Mrs Boyd was for
many years an invalid, but she was
widely known, and only to be loved.
