MICHAEL’S. . _ C I r An Interesting Reminiscence of the Rebellion. Mrs. Pefigriic Carson, the daughter of the iatc distinguished James L. Peti- grue, of South Carolina^ contributes to Appleton's Journal an interesting ac count of old St. Michael’s Church and the chime bells that once sounded in its steeple a carillion as sweet as floats from the spire of Antwerp Cathedral. These bells were connected with the Revolution, hut, having escaped the perils of the siege of Charleston by the British in 1780, they were destr nearly a century later by a mischance of the war of the secession. But we must let Mrs. Carson tell the 6tory of their fate after Sumter: “ Time went on, and Charleston behind her defence of sand resisted alP the efforts to carry her. During the five hundred (546) days of bombard ment all the lower part of the town had Vo l>e abandoned. Houses and churches were shattered, the cannon halls tore up the graveyards, and the Ikiiics of the dead were scattered. Yet the spire of St. Michael’s was untouch ed. Perhaps the cannoneer tried to spare it—perhaps good angels guarded it. But what neither the malice of the enemy nor the spite of Fortune did, the people themselves effected. For the bells were taken down and sent to Columbia, to he cast into can non. General Beauregard, perhaps shocked at the desecration, pronounced them unfit for the purpose; and the fate which heaped up at Columbia for safe keeping every thing of value in the State, there detained the bells also. Then Sherman’s army passed through, leaving its track of lightning. A party of half drunken soldiers, out for a lark and for plunder, were accosted by a negro who offered to show them the bells which had rung in sec ession. • Never,’ said the men, ‘ shall they play that tune again,’ and they smash ed them into a hundred pieces. “ Sad was the return to the deso lated homes aud the meeting in the dumb church, to which no miracle might now restore the voice of the chimes they loved. “ But they were men of pluck still, ami, ns soon as they had shaken them selves up and provided for the first pres dug needs, they resolved Lo tax themsalves to the utmost to get a new chime. “ Scarcely had the rector bread, and the vestrv and congregation were all very poor, hut they wrote to C. It. Prioleau, of London, to inquire the cost of a new set. This gentleman had lived so long in England as to have become almost an Englishman, with a fair English wife and bluff handsome English children, but bis heart stirred at the recollection of the clear old voices that had called him in child hood, and he undertook the task with a loving zeal that brought about the most surprising results. There was no record at Charleston of where the bells came from. But Mr. Prioleau search ed the directory for the oldest founders of the city, and went from one to the other, until at Mcares & Co., White Chapel, London, a firm which has been in existence three hundred years, he found, by patient examination, the record of cast for St. Michael’s Church, Charleston, S. C., in'1759. The pro portions of the metals, and sizes of the bells, were all entered in the books; and the present Menrs engaged to turn out a new set, which, when hung, shnnld make the Charlestonians them- sel ves think they heard their veritable old bells. But Mr. Prioleau was imt content with this; he wrote bnek to have all the fragments that could be found sent, out, and this was done. Meanwhile, Meares found still in their service an old man of seventy-six, who had been appointed under the very foreman who, more than a hundred years before, had cast those bells; and he, stimulated by Prioleau’s generos- i.y, never rested till he brought to light the very original moulds for the castings. Into them the new metal was melted with careful distribution of the broken fragments so as to make the illusion a reality. All that was,, wanting to make up the cast Mr. Prioleau, added and the reward of his prcsevcrvance and generosity was to send to the vestry these new liells, which arc the very old ones still. Again did the congregation with tears ami thanksgiving receive the bells from this their fifth voyage across the Atlantic, and lnmg them up in St. Michael’s steeple, May they never again be removed by the rough hand of war, or ever sound aught but peace ou earth and good will toward men ! i ~- ' ! Jetsam et Flotsam. From the Borne Journal. BIDING ASTRADDLE. A Nut for the Philological Statesman. f Iftafman were to assert that the wants of a plural form for a certain English noun, has given more trouble than any other one thing in construing the Constitution of the United States; that the ambiguity arising- from this defect in our Language has culminated in a quarrel concerning the question of State Sovereignty, which resulted in the late gigantic war, waged between the “ North” and the “ South,” the subjugation of the latter and the pos sible entire loss of liberty on this conti nent, he would probably be set down, by a large majority of the rending public, as fanciful, if not crazy. And yet let us consider the matter a moment. In the works ot John C. Calhoun* vol; I.- p. 133, occurs the following language: * * *' “The * people’ has, in the English language, no plural, and is necessarily used the singular number, even when ap- pled to many communities or States confederated in a common union—as is the case with the United States Now-a-days the word “ jieople,” in the ]dural, is of common occurrence in political writings ; but it appears that only the singular form was used, not only at the time when our Constitution was formed, but even at so late a dale as when Mr. Calhoun wrote. The distinguished South Carolina statesman found great inconvenience from the want of this plural, and actually had to labor—a thing very uuusanl with that bright and clear intellect—to convey his meaning, while discussing the question ns to the true import of the words: “ We, the people of the United States,” that occur in the preamble to the Constitution. Had the plural form of the word been in use the language would have been “ We, the poeple*of theUnited States;” and thus all ambiguity would have been avoided, &c. If the peoples of the Northern States had then per sisted in the efforts to enslave us, at least the word would have perceived the injustice of the proceedings more clearly than it is likely will ever be the case, under existing circumstances. Mr. Calhoun says, (same work, pp. 132-3): “ Those who * * * * main tain the national character of Govern ment rely, in support of their views, mainly on the expression, ’We, the people of the United States.’ * * * In maintaining this construction, they rely on the omisson to enumerate the States by name, after the word people (so as to make it read, ’We, the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, etc,” as was done in the articles of Confederation, and also in signing the Declaration of Independence.) * * * An explanation perfectly satis factory may lie given * * * The first draft of the Constitution contained an enumeration of the States, by name, after the word people, but it became impossible to retain it after the adop tion of the seventh and last article, which provided that the ratification by nine States should be sufficient to establish the Constitution as between them, apd for the plain reason that it was impossible to determine whether all the States would ratify; or if any failed, which and how many of the number; or if nine should ratify, limv to designate them. No alternatave was thus left but to omit the enumer ation and to insert the * United States of America’ in its place.” Can anything be clearer ? If the preamble had said< “ We, the peo ple of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, South Carolina Georgia,” Ac., (nam ing over all the original thirteen sov ereign independent States) “do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America,” and then, in accordance with the 7th article, the requisite nine had ratified the Consti tution, leaving out some of those named in the Constitution, and had thus established it as to the nine, while others named in it refused to ratify, wbat sort of awkwardness would that have been, and how would it have been tolerated? Everybody acquainted with the histoTy of the Constitution knows that, for a good while, several of the States did refuse to ratify the Constitution, which fact demonstrates, still more forcibly, the difficulty that had to be avoided. But ah! if the English language, at that time, liftd only allowed the plural—“ peoples !” Terrible Accident-Three Young Ladies Drowned—rwoMenMakea Narrow Escape—Battenu Overturned. Shall Ladies Ride Man Fashions’— Grace Greenwood Says Yes. The derision of the question how ladies' shall sit on thohorse rests, of course, with themselves. The argu ments in the matter, what physicians, physiologists, and practical horsemen assart regarding the superior health- fulness, ease, and safety of the natural mode, all this is beyond cavil. There is now lacking only the actual exper ience. of horse-women to convince their doubting sisters with, ot course, a proper inauguration of the fashion for the throng of fashionables. A corres pondent tells us that it is a common sight to see ladies riding astride in the larger towns of Wisconsin ; and from still further toward..the setting sun. there comes a note of example from one whose word will certainly com mand the respectful attention of every lady in the land. No one will suspect Grace Greenwood of a weakness for assuming mannish ways, or of sacri ficing taste and delicacy for mere vul gar notoriety. In her journeying lately in the Yosemite Valley, she, with three other ladies, rode all the way from South Merced and back ou horseback, and cavalier fashion. Side saddles were not to be had, and how the ladies accepted the situation, and even liked it, the authoress thus writes: “ With a tear for the modest tradi tions of our sex, and a shudder at the thought of the figures we should present, we four brave women accept ed the situation, and, for the nonce, rode as a woman used to ride in the happy, heroic days, before Satan, for her entanglement and enslavement, invented trained skirts, corsets aiuh side-saddles. We were fortunately provided with strong mountain suit®, of dark flannel and waterproof, which fitted us for this emergency, and for any rough climbing we had a fancy for, and there was not a little. Well, after a trial of some fifteen miles the first day, and twenty-six the second, we all came to the conclusion that this style o£ riding is the safest, easiest, and, therefore, the most seusible for long mountain expeditions, and for steep, rough, and narrow trails. If nature intended woman to ride horse back at all she doubtless intended it should be after this fashion ; otherwise we should have been a sort of land variety of the mermaid. SURRENCY ECLIPSED. Revival of Pilgrimage in France.—One of the most curious phenomena of the day is the sudden revival of pilgrimage in France.

Mr. William Kildree reports one of the saddest accidents that we have had occasion yet to record. It happened Sunday afternoon, on the Chattahoo chee river, twenty miles above Colum bus, near MechanicsviUe, Lee county, Alabama. A party of two men and three young ladies were crossing the river in a bat- teau. One of the survivore states that one of the ladle i arose in the boat to scare some ducks, when the vessel capsized and the entire party were precipitated into the water. The day was very cold, must have been intensely so on the river. The three young ladies were drowned. Their names are Misses Susan and Elizabeth Teel, and Jo3ie Pike. The latter was formerly a resident of this city. Her body was recovered late Sunday night. The other two bodies had not been discov ered when our informant left the local ity Monday morning. It was with the utmost difficulty the two men were saved. One would have been drowned also, had it not been for the assistance rendered by a person on shore who happened to be near the scene of the terrible accident. The names of the men are Charlton Caver and Cicero Godwin. The sad affair has cast a gloom over the entire community. The grief and consternation of near relatives was heart-rending. Vigilant efforts were the ladies that were still in the stream, and some hopes were entertained of siicoess.—Columbus Sun. The Atlanta Constitution is responsi ble for the following marvelous story: A gentleman of this city recently visited Opelika, and while there wit nessed one of the most remarkable curiosities of the age. A common wash bowl that has been in use some ten years, had engraved on its hottom the likeness of a woman sitting in a chair. A dog is stai.ding by her side, wistfully gazing into her face, which is turned toward it. Around it arc seen trees and rushes growing, while in the back ground are to be seen a number of angelic per sonages. The whole is said to be as clear and distinct as if engraved on the howl. This engraving, whether engraved by the power of spirits or the odic force, first appeared on the 28th of February, 1868, at the house of Jas. Ball, three miles east of Nixburg, Coosa county Ala. Mr. Ball, that morning, came in from his blacksmith shop, where he had been at work, and as usual, wash ed his face and went into breakfast. The water remained in the bowl until three o’clock that afternoon, when one of his daughters, upon going to the bowl discovered the scenery. Not knowing what to make of it, she threw the water out, and to her astonish ment the flowers and figures remain ed. The bowl and spiritual scenery has been preserved. The scenery is as bright and beautiful now as in 1868. Mr. Ball is represented to be a gen tleman of unquestionable veracity aud integrity. Such men as W. L. John son, S. E. Sellers, R. S. Nolen, A. Johnson, W. M. Justice, W. Rogers, Rev. A. J. Selless, 11 and Rev. W. Nolen, of Coosa county, all endorse him. The fame of the wash bowl has gone abroad, and Mr. Ball has been solicited to exhibit it. He exhibited it at the Opelika far, and gave the proceeds to a charitable purpose. It is likely he may visit Atlanta. iY! ' i ' <1 . JBSl/-- . Heroism—What a Jokes Couty J Woman is doing.—There is a family living in Jones county, consisting ofta gentleman and his wife, both vfcry old and infirm, and a maiden daughter.’ The family is an entirely respectable one; but the fortunes of warand other adverse circumstances have reduced their means of subsistence down to the possession of a moderate-sized farm of poor land. This the old man tried to manage and cultivate in order to make a livelihood for his qld wife and their one daughter. In this he failed, and year by year affairs were growing worse with him, and he saw that he should have to give up the battle, and that, too, without having any one upon whome he could rely for support in his declining years. The daughter was among the first to divine^ne’truestate of affairs. She saw that, her father was too old tp loffgfcr contend \ritTT the world for the means of subistence. Her mother also wa3 aged and not able to lend a help ing hand ; and she knew that if any relief were to come to them it must come through her. She thought the matter over in a practical way, and in a very daughterly manner made up her mind that her old parents could not suffer for anything while she had the strength to labor for them. Her inind was no sooner made up than she went to work with a woman ly energy, but not in woman’s sphere. She did not go to the school-house, nor to the music room, nor into a mil linery establishment, but she went into the field and put her hand to the plow and looked not back. Day in and day out, in fair weather and foul, in heat and in cold, she clung to her self-imposed duty. Though sometimes when the day’s work was ended, she was too wary and sore, almost, to drag herself to the house, her courage never forsook her; but she toiled on, month after month, until now she is reaping her reward in finding herself compe tent to making comfortable the last days of her parents. A bale of cotton raised by her was sold at one of the warehouses in this city yesterday ; and if its market value had beeu fixed according to the moral worth of the producer, the product would have yielded her a competency for life. Men may prate of heroism upon the battle-field or in time of danger, but there is uo heroism that surpasses the heroism of this woman. All honor to her! The earth ought to yield most generously where broken by the fur rows of her plow. There was a funereal in town the other day. Homebody had died. Somebody had gone. \Ve looked and passed ou. We heard some one call him a good fellow, and then some one passed on, too. And we wondered when a mortal is so little missed on earth if he is so sparingly welcomed in heaven, and if the angles only look at him and then pass ou ! In these lat ter days of the year, so full of sweet melancholy, it occurs to us that wo really amount to very little when we shuffle off this mortal coil. The other day the band was out. The comrades of the dead man, it i3 true, wore the little piece of black crape to tell us that somebody had gone away. So, after all, the dead did not bury the dead. But then, even in our small city, we live in a hurry, and as we have some times watched a funeral cortege, so small in numbers and so meagre in tears, we have wondered if we' are not also buried in a hurry. Some day you are going away, too, but the great world will move on undistured. The brown woods of October are not dis turbed when a single leaf drops off a tree and flutters down to its death. The eagle, in his flight, does not miss a single feather that drops from his plumage. Men will still buy and sell, and women will gossip and dress. Others who linger liehind will talk, and sing, and dance, and flirt, happy as ever, and the city of Pekin will sim ply pass on, giving you a good-bye look, and merely ask “ who’s dead to day?” So let us convince ourselves that we are of very little importance in this fast age, aud men will come and go, and if they can only perceive that we, too, have traveled that way, it will be sufficient.—Pekin Register.

An Omaha yonth fell in love with a lady's picture in s specimen show-case, bunted up the original and married her. The show-case manufacturers and photographers now have to work night and day to fiU orders from the still single gins. Girls, you all want to know how to help adorn home; and a carpet, be it ever so common, saves mother and yourselves many a hard job of scrub bing and cleaning. Now, you all, 1 expect, know how to make rag carpets. At least, we judge so, from the nice letters you write on that subject. So we take a method of making new car pets from old woolen ones, from Har per’s Bazar. No matter how faded, they may be turned lo good account by raveling out the. carpet, and, ps you do so, winding it in balls. When this is done, have ready some scarlet, blue or green yarn, which, if the colors of the carpet be very dull, will help to enliv en them. Next take a long stick, like a yard-stick, and wrap tiie raveled yarn tightly a round it, interspersing it with a Tittle red and green all the war through; when the stick is full, begin to sew it along one edge, so as to secure it, and then cut it open on the other. Now do another and another stickful in the same way, until the carpet yarn is all gone. A piece of strong crash will answer best for’a foundation for the rug we are proposing to make out of this, and, having hemmed it at each end, begin in the middle with a tuft of bright colors, sewing the rest around on the foundation as closely as possi ble, row after row, until the ■ crash is completely cowered- It may thus be made as large as required, and can be trimmed to make tho tuft even. This will give you a very serviceable door mat or rug. aud will wear as long as tiie old carpet has already done.
