WADE HAMPTON AND THE NEGROES. The South Carolina Senator Tells Them he First Urged Their Enfranchisement. In a speech in Berkley county, S. €.. on Thursday last, Senator Wade Hampton said: “I recognized in 1865, I, an old slave owner, a rebel, a Confederate General, long before any Northern man had said one word about con- ferring the rght of suffrage upon the colored people—I, in Columbia, in 1865, came out at a meeting of the white and colored citizens and advised that South Carolina should confer the right to vote on her col— ored citizens. I did it because I recognized that a Republic could not make discrimination between her citizens on account ot their color. [Applause ] The reason I mention it now is because I want to try and impress upon you that from that day to this I have had but one object in view, and that is to establish peace, good will and harmony between the two races in South Carolina, and I tell you now that that can never be until you quit following the ieaders that you have been tollowing hereto- fore. Itcan never be as long as you are willing to vote for an ex- convict to represent you in Congress. Why, this man Smalls boasted in Charleston the other day that he nad never been within a prison’s walls. Well, he told the truth as far as he went, but not all the truth. He might have gone on and said that it it had not been tor the pardon of a democratic governor of South Caro— hna he would have bad on a con- vict’s stripes and been working in the penitentiary. He was fairly con- victed and pardoned. We did not want to punish those people who had been misled. Contrast him with the democratic candidate for Congress. The Elhotts have been the friends ot your race through many generations. Col. Eliiott’s father built a church tor the colored people and preached to them year after year, and that church would be standing now if Sherman had not pulled it down to build a bridge over the Combahee River. But for one issue I would not care whether a democrat or re- publican was President of the United States, provided both were honest. That issue is this, that it is only by the election of a democratic Presi- dent that we can convince you col- ored peorle that the democrats of the South are vour friends. The sational democratic party will do you equal and exact justice. I pledge myselitothat. [Applause. J I pledge mvself to 1t because I would leave that party if I believed they would attempt to take from you a single nght that you now enjoy. There are bad men in both parties, I ad- mit, but it the best men of the two races will get together and realize that the prosperity of the State means the prosperity of all the peo- ple of the State, and will combine and put good, honest, capable and intellizent men in office we will soon have peace and prosperity in South Carolina. I have advocated every- where the burial of these animosities. T have telt that we can never be a happy and successful and prosperous People until we realize that we must all pull together. It is for this one reason that 1 am in this canvass. I have been honored by the people ot Carohna by being elected to the highest office in their gift, but above all I have cherished most profoundly the love and confidence given me by | these people. I want no higher memonal, no better epitaph than the acknowledgement that I have been a benefactor to South Caro- lina.” 4u Enterprising, Reliable House. : F M Crumley & Co can always be re- hed upon, not only to carry th everything, but to such articles as e n and are popular with the people, thereby sustaining the reputation ot being always enterprising, and ever reliable Havingr secured the agency tor the celebrated Dd, King’s New Discovery for Consumption will sell it on a positive guaran’ee It will surely cure any and every affection ot Spee Lungs a nd to show ur confidence, we invite Set a trial bottle free t oe ee Imitation Pearis. “You would hardly think,” said a string of glass beads as bet as a cherry ‘Ss, made in imitation of pear t the pearl tint on each one of those ittle globes the lives of at least fifteen | beautifal fish had to be sacrificed, would you?

Thero is a fish in the Adriatic they call the bleak fish, but why bleak I can’t ssy. There is nothing bleak about its appearance. It is a graceful fish, with a glittering armor o: silver scales. They are more prolific and swarm in larger schools than the j:erring. One day in 1656 a resident of Venice, Sal- | vator Jacquin by name, placed several of these fish in a small aquarium to ob- serve their habits. After they had | | Keptup.

Believing that this was | 1 j Way and the ferry, and the land re- communicated by the scales of the bleak fish, Jacquin tried some experi- ments with them. He found that water could be so densely charged with the tint from these scales that giass on being dipped in it and then allowed to | | territory up io tL dry had every appearance of a pexrl. He coated glass beads with the liquid, and they were readily taken for large pearls. The coating would not resist much friction, however, and soon rub- bed off the surface. Finding that a reat sale could be had for beads made | in imitation of pearls if the coating could be made permanent, Jacquin conceived the idea of having the globes blown hollow and then fixing the fish- scale liquid to the inner surface. This was a success from the start, and the lass pearl bead business got its first | om. It requires the scsles of four thousand blesk fish to make half pint of the pearl liquid. They are simply | removed from the fish, which are as cheap as mossbuukers, and soaked in tepid water. Nowadays a very small quantity of sal ammopia and isingiass is added to the liquid. It is introduced inside the bead by a small tube, and when itis dry, » coating of wax is run | over it. Fortunately for the fish, the trade in these beads, pretty and cheap | | They told Pike he must go down and as they are, is not alarmingly large.’ —wNew York Sun. 0 =. The Best Tobacco Pipe. The white eartnen pipe, porus and permeable to liquids, is put first, be- cause it is a good absorver of nicotine; the metailic pipe is put last, because it| allows ali the noxious products formed during the combustion of the tobacco to reach the mouth of the smoker. The meerschaum, which immediately fol- lows the clay pipe, deserves its place only on condition that it is not too old. If it is seasoned it is as bad ss a wood- en or porcelain pipe. The seasoning, of which poets have sung, may be full of charms to the amateur; to the hy- gienist it simply indicates that the pipe has had its day, and is now satu- rated with tobacco juice, and that it must be replaced by another one, or be passed through the fire to purify it, as is done in the coftee-houses of Hol- land. Every old pipe, browned with long use, leaves on the lips and tongue an acrid and strong-smelling liquid, which irritates the tissues and corrodes the mucous secretions. When it has reached this condition the finest meer- schaum is no better than the meanest scorch-throat.—opular Science Month- ty. —_— —— + = ____ An Australian Intoxicant.

Its flavor resembles soap suds more than anything else one can compare it with, The root used is Botaniealty known as that of the piper methisticum; it is hard and woody, hence the object of the chewing, which liberates the juices of the root more freely than any other process. Euro- peans grate the root and pound it, but admit thatthe liquor {s not equal to the chewed. In Samoa the prepara- tion of the kava bowl is attended with vory grest ceremony, only the young unmarried giris being allowed to chew it. The root is cut up into fine pieces, and the girls, who are directed by the pettiest of them, first rinse their sufficiently masticated and formed into a ball, spit it into the bowl. The! chief girl then calls for water, and after washing her hands directs one of her companions to pouron the water while she stirs the root with her hand. When enough wateris in, and the balls are properly mixed with the ingredient, she takes up a strainer made of fibres | of the bibiscus, and passes it from side to side of thebowl When the strainer is saturated she lifts it high above the bowl and squeezes the balls through the strainer in her hand. This is con- tinued until the kava bowl is ready. It is contended by some of the Europeans who use chewed root that the mastica- tion is perfectly dry and is a mere crushing process, but of course an amount of saliva must get incorporated in the process. The medicinal proper- | | to be exp ties of kava are tonic and nervous se- dative, and it isto these effects, and | not to its flavor, that the taste for the | drink srises.— Melbourne Leader. ae __ A precious carpet has been destroyed | in San Francisco.

H., and Robert Wise, the old | revolutionary soidier who came home | from the war with Capt.

Skirting the Webster | roperty, and passing by the spot where | Robert Wise took up his humble abod there had long been a ferry-way, lead- | ing to a ferry across the Merrimsc | river. The ferry was established dur- | ing the last century, and after Robert | Wise had lived there for some time it | came to be called Wise’s Ferry. The ferry-way was originally fenced on both sides, and it ran between the | Webster farm and a farm belonging, at the time of which we are about to speak, to Descon Fariey. The fence on Webster's side of the ferry-way had been allowed to fal! into decay, but the fence on the Farley side bad been well ar 1848, after 2 the town voted to discontinue the ferry- , tothe original owner. assuming that the land li, removed all traces verted, of cour. Deacon Farie: cluded the whole of the land in hisown line where the Web- ster fence formerly stood. Mr. Webster came up to Franklin soon after this had been done and was greatly incensed by what he saw. He ordered John Taylor into his sitting- room and said to him sternly: ‘John Taylor, how came you to stand still, and let Deacon Farley steal my !and?’’ Mr. Webster was in one of his blackest moods. Poor Taylor was frightened, for in all his life he had never seen bis great friend in such a towering passion. Mr. Webster ordered him, in tones of thunder, to bring Deacon Fzrley. The deacon came, and he, too, was saluted with s burst of wrath that made him tremble. He modestly re- lied that he believed the land was his; at Mr. Webster could not be pacified. Thereupon the deacon and John Taylor jumped into a wagon snd drove | in great alarm to see 2 young lawyer of the name of Pike (now Senator in Congress from New Hampshire), who lived two and a half miles up the river. see Mr. Webster and explain the mat- ter. Pike went, but as soon as he was in Mr. Webster's presence the latter roared out: “Young man, did you ad- vise Deacon Farley to steal my land?” “No, sir,” said Pike, ‘I did not. But if the statements that were laid be- fore me are true, the land belongs to the deacon.” “Well, sir,” replied Webster, ‘if I ean find a lawyer in this county, I shall bring an action.” «There is no need of that, Mr. Web- ster,’’ said Pike. **l will get the proper documents, and submit them to you, if you will hear me, and I believe that you will be convinced that the land is not yours.”’ “You are a bold man, sir, if you pro- ose to leave the case to me,’’ said Mr. Vebster. ‘Butdoas you please. I give yov fair warning that [ consider this land mine, and I will fight for every inch of my father’s property.”’ Pike went away and procured a copy of the record which showed the laying ont of the ferry-way, and that all the land was taken from the property of Farley’s grantor, and none of it from the Webster property, = copy of the vote of the town discontinuing the fer- ry, and an affidavit of a former tenant of Webster’s, showing that the fence on the Webster side had been removed, and the whole ferry-way taken into the Webster field. The strip of land which the discontinuance of the ferry-way took off from what Mr. Webster had already regarded as his own property extended the whole length of one of his best fields. When Pike submitted the documents to Mr. Webster, the latter read them very carefully, and then said: “Mr. Pike, in half an hour the jury will be ready to render their verdict. Go and get Deacon Farley, that he may hear th In half an hour Pike returned with the deacon, who expected nothing but a tition of what he aad met before. entiemen,’’ ssid Mr. Webster, “shearken to the verdict.

It has happened over and over again that an epidemic st s particular spot has lincered on for several weeks in a desuit: ry fashion before itsreal intens- ity was felt. This was the case at Tou- lon itself in 1865, when the mortality for the first few weeks remained even below what it has been on the present occasion, rising suddenly to abont fifty deaths a day in the middle of Septem- ber. A sudden rise or fall is generally lsined bya chance in the weather. Nothing is more likely than the decline of an epidemic of cholera in one place, or all over the country when the winter cold begins. On the other hand, the disease usually reaches its height asthe temperature goes up, although the rule is not an invariable one. Moisture and heat together are much more likely to cause an increase of cholera than heat and draught, and, in fact, the autumnal months have gen- erally seen a larger mortality than spring and summer.—New Fork Com- mercial Advertiser.
