l’Ue Luxury of Uiving.
0, Let us scatter wide,
The blessings Ht4Lvcn bestows,
And with the poor divide
The honey and tbenreet.
Why hhould we close our eyes
To humble woe and griel ?
% Why not in baste arise
And proffer them relief?
Arc we not of one blood,
iFroCi the same parent kind ?
Is not our father God,
Whence all those blessings Gnd ?
Withholding metre than meet,
In poverty will end ;
But giving is replete
VV ith good to those who lend.
For 'tis but loaned to God,
Whose children are the poor ;
He’H give a rich reward
Iu basket and in store.
Give ami it shall be given,
Pressed down and running o’er,
Your fellow-man and Heaven
Shall give you more and more.
Then let'us scatter wide,
The blessings Heaveu bestows,
And with the poontlivide
The honey and the rose.
Diving Bell Adventure.
“While in the hatbor of Valparaiso,
•board the sloop-of war Virago, one of
our midshipmen touched me on the
shoulder and said that Lieutenant Bar
dolph wanted to see trie.
‘i have heard that you are something
of a naturalist, Starbuek,’ said the uffi
»c«r smiling.
•‘No sir,’ 1 replied, ‘no naturalist, al
though 1 take an interest in, in ’
*O, well, never mind,’ quoth the Lieu
tenant, ‘you have seen our diving bell f*
I answered, ‘Yes.’
The Lieutenant then said be wanted
■me to go down under the sea, with our
old boatswain, Randolph, formerly a
pearl diveq, to .look .for a curious fish
which<pn the day previous had been
pierced and killed with a pike.
In form, the fish resembled a serpent;
was about thirty inches in length, and
had upon both sides of its neck a pair
of singular appendages, something like
wings. Its most striking peculiarity,
however, was one eye, of greenish color,
situated in the top of its head. On be
ing struck by the pike, the creature had
rolled over, apparently dying, and then
had gone out us .sight.
‘I think,’ continued the Lieutenant,
‘that such a curiosity is worth securing,
and I have picked you out to go with
Randolph believing that you are inter*
ested in natural history.’
I bowed acquiescence, and went away
to make preparations.
The diving bell was soon on the deck,
Toady to bo hoisted and swung over the
•ide. The instrument was little darn
.aged, but neither Randolph nor I antic
ipated danger.
We were presently in our ( place,sing>
ing out, ‘All right !’ when the bell be*
gan to descend.
Down, down, lower and lower. We
igjlunoed around us on all sides, but saw
nothing of the strange fish. Curious
looking specimens of the finny tribes,
however, greeted us in many directions.
We could see the sword fish dart past,
with its long protruding bone weapon ;
the globe fish, the sun fish, the balloon
fish, and the spiteful looking shark swept
.through the waters, almost brushing
•our bell with tail and fins.
The nit* was becoming somewhat im-
Eurc, so we opened the stop cook, and
it it out, feeling a moment after a fresh
supply sent down to us through the In
dia rubber pipe or hose secured in the
top of the bell.
Randolph was about touching the sig.
mal cord to intimate our desires to be
lowered still further when we felt a sud
■den jerk, felt the bell going down rapid
iidly, and to our born r real zed that the
rope by which the instrument was sus
ponded had parted from the hook to
which it was attached.
Away went tho pipe, at the same mo
orient, and we only saved ourselves from
instunt destruction by stopping up the
Aperture thus left in the top with a thick
tfiundkc-rehief. Otherwise, the water
beneath must have filled the bell iu a
few momouts.
Wo heard the water soaring and
gurgling around as we descended,; our
descent, however, became each instant
•lower, until finally the resistance of the
•confined air iu the hell, kept us suspen
ded about two feet above the buttom ol
lire sea.
The air in our floating prison soon
became almost unbearable, not only
from its being so densely compressed,
imt also from long confinement
Tenor stricken, we glanced at each
other. The eyes of Randolph protru
ding from his head, looked bloodshot
and tinged with a strange green color,
while his dusky skin st emed to shrink like
shrivelled parchment. The most start
ling change in his appearance was the
sudden apparently superannuated look
■of bis visage. A man of fifty, he seem
ed at least thirty years older.
Presently his teeth began to rattle in
his head, his form was bent almost
double, be threw his arms around him
in agonjr, as if .clutching at something.
How horribly useless this pantomime
seemed to me! He wanted fresh air—
to clutch at air ! What a mockery 1
‘Starbuck,’ he presently gasped.—
'•God have mercy onus. What shall
we do V
What could we do ? I could only
Btnrfl at Kim, utiipid,EfiUi despair.
The air in the bell fiecaiwe more and
more-stifling. The boatswain flew to
my side and eqeezed me in his mad ag
ony.
I endeavored to speak, but only a
hoarse rattle in my throat obeyed my
will. I gasped hard for breath. A ter
rible oppression, was my lungs. The
boatswain had now released me. I stag
gered against the side of our prison ;
my senses gradually seemed deserting
me.
Gradually, to my confused sight, a
dark red cloud seemed to float up all
around the bell. My head now felt a9
though it would burst. Terribly op
pressed I fell upon my knees, and would
have fallen into the sea but for the boat
.swain, who now held me.
Then all began to grow dark. With
a superhuman effort I half raised myself
and looked around me, feeling like one
groping in the dark. Bewildered, full
of the most agonizing pain, I became
aware that something was swaying up
and down before my sight; up and
down in that red mist cloud, mingling
with the water. I made another effort
—a great effort—to comprehend what
it was, this swaying thing, and I at last
did so; understood that it was a hook
attached to the end of a rope, lowered
to us from the deck of the Virago, so
far above.
‘Starbuck 1’ gasped the boatswain,
*l’ll dash open the lens—this was a glass
—in the top of the belt,’ then you stand
by to hook it or. the inside.
I just managed to hear the words,
and they strengthened me with a wild
hope, although I was still so bewildered
that! could scarcely now see the sway
ing hook. The boatswain’s arm was
before my eyes. -With-one blow -Of bis
huge.fist dealt with the remains of his
great strength he shivered the lens. *
There was a roaring sound; it was
the upward hashing *df*thc -waterdrito
the bell as'the air escaped.
There was no time to loose. 1 thrust
my arm through the aperture and drew
in the hook, quickly attaching it to the
top of the inside of the instrument.
The next moment the water came
bubbling over the heads of the boat
swain and myself, and that was the last
I remembered of what transpired in the
bell.
When I recovered my senses I found
mjßelf in the steerage with the ship’s
doctor bending over me.
‘A narrow escape,’ was his first
words.*
‘Where is Randolph ?’ I exclaimed.
‘Here,’ answered a feeble voice, and
rising, I beheld the boatswain iu a
bunk under me.
‘He bad a narrower escape than'you
had,’ said the doctor. ‘The thumb of
his right hand was bitten off by a shark,
which-made a springdor it just as we
pulled'you two into the cutter, after the
diving bell was hauled to the surface.
From Waruen’ton. —From accounts
received here yesterday frotp Warren-,
ton, affairs in that portion of the-sub
district seem to have improved a little
since the arrival of Major Kline, the
commandant, in the village on Thurs
day.
Chap Norris, the little tyrant of the.
county, has beea made to glve<up ! the
officednUlie court house belonging to
Col. E. H. Pottle, from which the lat
ter was forcibly ejected on the first day
of the arrival of the military sheriff'.
The two men, Hill and J-vy, who
were arrested by Norris’ orders on last
Sunday night, will, we understand, be
released from confinement, by Major
Kline, either today or tomorrow. No
proof seems to exist of their guilt, and
rtlicy will be allowed to give bail for
ttheir appearance to answer the charge
which may'be made against them.
The citizens of the county will hold
a meeting in the court-house at vVarren
ton on next Tuesday, the 25th inst., for
the pur pi se of appointing a committee
to proceed to Atlunta, wait upon Gcne
rul Terry and explain the condition of
affairs in the county.— Chronicle and Sen

•Deplorable Condition in South Car*
olina. —The following is an extraettfrom
a letter to a gentleman in Baltimore.—
The writer is one of the most estimable
gentleman in South Carolina. It is da
ted January 13, 18-70 ” ,
‘What'is to become of'this poor'State
nobody can do more than conjecture.—
You have perhaps not known that (/ at
the end of the war, the old bank bills
brought some tori cents on the dollar, I
mean the bank of the State. I had a;
good many of them and was glad to
get'that. Gov. Scott and his friends
bought up all these bills, then got the
negro Legislature to redeem them by
State bonds at par, and soon after to
enact that these bonds, principal and in
terest, shall be paid in gold. And so it t
is in everything. Five or ten dollars
will buy, I hear, any vote in the Legis
lature for anything. They sit for
months instead of weeks, as formerly,
and vote themselves six dollars a day,
instead of three, as before.’
Arout Barrels. —The New York
Herald lately had an editorill on this
subject, which certainly deserves atten
tion. We people down here who buy
so much sugar and flour, from the North
and West, certainly have an interest in
it.
The Herald says most of these arti*
cles come iu old barrels that have been
made new outside, collected from all
quarters and without any reference to
what they have had inside, previously.
These old barrels don’t cost much and
are therefore eagerly bought up. Some
of them may have been in the holds of
vessels infected with-contagious disea
ses, or filled with decayed eggs, or :
fruit, or used for virions purposes other
hnti cleanly, about hospitals, and in
cellars and jails. The Herald charges
that such barrels are very frequently
bought and used without any cleansing
at all of the inside. 01 coarse they are
rubbed up outside to make them look
all right. We don’t desire to turn any
body’s stomach, but it does seem to us
such outrages upon cleanliness, health
and decency ought to be ventilated.—
If there are no laws On this subject,
there ceitainly ought to be.
Execution of a -Colored Man -in
Mokjt.ii Carolina —Struggle for Life.—
A letter of the 15th instant, from Tar
boro’, North Carolina, to the Richmond
State Journal, gives the following par
ticulars of the execution at Tar boro’ on
Friday last, of Lewis 'Hines, colored, for
the outrage of a young whitegirl named
Sarah L. Johnson, ou the of April
last:
‘‘When conducted to the scaffold the
condemned man made no confession, but
did uo; deny his guilt. A deputy sheriff
then adjusted the rope, but so loosely
that when the criminal was swung off
the knot came beneath his chin. His
legs were wot piuioned. When he fell
he strugg'ed fearfully. By extraordina
ry exertion the suspended man seized
hold of the rope at his throat with .one
of his hands. He turned round and
round, and succeeded in getting his feet
back on the platform from which he had
just been burled. Terrible excitement
prevailed among the spectators while
the unfortunate wretch was endeavor
ing to regain his feet; but as the ‘stern
decree of the law had to be carried out,
the sheriff rushed upon the scaffold and
pushed the clinging feet of the wretch
from the edge of the platform. He then
continued swinging seventeen minutes
when life was declared extinct. The
mao was -etraogylat-ed.”
The funeral oration of Mr, Pea
body will be delivered by Governor
Chamberlain, of Main, on the second
day after the arrival of the Peabody
funeral fleet, due -on the 28 insi. Admi
ral Farragut will conduct the naval cer
emonies. Committees from the New
England Legislatures, the Board of
Trustees of the Peabody Education
Fund and the military will receive the
body. ;
or The lady principal of a school,
in the advertisement, mentioned her lady
assistant, and the ‘reputation which she
bears;’ but the printer left out the.
word ‘which,’ so the advertisement went
forth commencing the lady’s ‘reputation
for teaching she bears.’
figy* Beecher says : “There never was
a person that did any good, that did
not get more than he gave. The big
gest end of a blessing comes to the ben
efactor.”
JC3T Courtesy, in the mistress of the
house, consists in feeding conversation,
—never in usurping it. She is the guar
dian of this species of sacred fire, but it
must be accessible to all.
W<Aian In Adversity. —Where k, the
mem that cannot confirm the truth of
tfie following sensible remarks Wo
man should be more trusted and confi
ded in as wives, mothers and sisters.—
They have a qick perfection of right
and wrong, and, without always know
ing wby, read the-present and the fu
ture, read characters and acts, designs
and probabilities, Where man sees no
letter or sign. What else do we mean
by ‘mother wif,’save that a woman has a
quicker perception and readier inven
tion than man? 'How often, vvfaen man
abandons the helm in despair, woman
seizes it, and carries the ship through
the storm!! Mao often .flies from home
and family to avoid impending 'ruin.—
Woman seldom, if ever, forsook home,
thus. Woman never evaded mere tem
poral calamity by suicide or desertion.
The proud banker, rather than dive to
see his poverty gazetted, may blow out
bis brains, and leave his wife arid chil
dren to want, protectorless. 'Loving
woman would have counseled him to
accept "poverty, and live to cheerish his
family and relieve his fortune. Woman
should be counseled and confided in.—
It is the beauty and glory of her na~
r ture, that it instinctively grasps at and
clings to the truth and right. Reason,
man’s greatest faculty, takes time to
hesitate befoie it decides; but woman’s
instinct never hesitates in its decision,
and is scarcely ever wrong where it has
even chances with rsason. Woman feels
where man thinks, acts where he de
liberates, hopes where be disappears,
and triumphs where he falls.
The End of Four Great Men. —The
dour conquerors who occupy the most
conspicuous places in 'the hisrory of tire
world are Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar,
a*nd Bonaparte.
.Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy height of his ambition, with his
temples botiod with chaplets dipped in
the blood of millions, looked down upon
a conquered woild, and wept that there
was no other world to conquer, set a
city on fire, and died in a scene of de
bauch.
Hannibal, after .having, to the aston
ishment and of (Rome,
passed the alps, and haviiig,put to-flight
the armies of the mistress of the world,
and stripped Three bushels of gold rings
from the fingers of her slaughtered
knights,’ and made her foundations
•quake,Tied from his country, being ha
ted by those who once exultingly united
his name to that of their god, and call
ed him Hanni-Baal; and died at last by
poisen administered by his own band,
unlameuted and unwept, iu a foreign
land. l
Caesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyeing his garments
in the blood of one million of bis foes,
after having pursued to death the only
rival'he'had on ea'rth, -was miserably
assassinated %y those lie considered his
nearest friends, and in that very place
the attention <it which -had been his
greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandates kings and
popes obeyed, after having filled the
earth with the terror of his liaiaae, after
having deluded Europe with tears and
blood, and clothed the world in sack
cloth, closed his days in lonely banish
ment, almost literally exiled 'from tbes
world, yet where he could sometimes
see his country’s banner waving over
the depot, but which did not and could
not bring him aid.
The Purity of Ice.—ln addition to
thefaot that ice is lighter than water,
there'ie another curious thing about dt
which many persons do not perhaps
know, viz., its purity. A lump of ice
ffieltcd will become pure distilled water.
Water in freezing turns out of it ajl
that is not water, —salt, air, coloring
matter, and all impurities. Frozen
sea-water makes fresh-water ice. If yon
freeze a basin of indigo water, it will
make ice as clear and as tvbite as
that made of pure rain water. When
the cold is very sudden, these foreign
matters have no time to escape, eith.
er by rising or sinking, and are thu3
entangled with the ice, hut do not make
any .part df -ft.
BSL- It is well known that Gen Hum
phrey Marshall, of Kentucky, is one of
the largest and fleshiest of mankind.—
When he left Kentucky to,join the Con
federacy, Prentice announced Tn Iris
paper that Marshall had gone South
and that the rebels were busy in enlar
ging Cumberlan Gap to let him pass
through !
Gen. Breckinridge tells a more touch
ing story on him than that. -Me says,
that when Pegram advanced into Ken
tacky, he passed through a gap in the
mountains held by Marshall. The . lat
ter having no orders to let Pegram pass,
refused, and told him that be could pass
over his (Marshall’s) dead body, but
never through the gap. Pegram replied,
‘•I will not pass over your body, I will
tunnel wider /”
The Ocean’s Depth.— The deep soun
dings made in connection with the lay
ing of submarine cables shew the aver
age depth of the Allan!ic Ocean to be
12,000 feet. This ocean floor -being
about 150 miles from the Irise coast,
from which point the descent to deep
water is very rapid, reaching 10,500
feet in 50 miles, and making the decliv
ity greater than that of the Italian Alps.
The deepest part of the ocean is on the
American side near the New Foundland
banks, whero an immense basin exists,
ranging east and west for nearly 1,000
miles, .whose depth is supposed to ex
cel the height es the Himalayan range.
Trading With the Enemy. —The Uni
ted States Supreme Court has recently
decided that a contract to procure cotton
within the rebel fines, made with a sub
agent of the United States Treasury,
was unauthorized by any law and was
in fact in violation of law. It was held
that the Treasury regulations authori
sing such contracts were void, as
licensing trade with public enemies.—
The case arose under a seizure by Ad
miral Poster, of 257 bales of cotton
which had been withdrawn from the
rebel lines, by means of safe conduct
issued by a sub-agent of the United
States Treasury.
Relapsing to Savagery.— The Mari
ana Courier says there are not loss than
three hundred negroes in Jackson coun
ty, West Florida who have moved on
public lands and ceased to labor on the
plantations, except when the pinch of
hunger compels thorn. A majority of
them are without visible means of sup
port, and have, it is thought, lived to a
great extent on the live stock, whi-ch
has been on the|deerease for the last three
years. This class furnishes the most of
the criminals for the penitentiary, and
is a great draw back on the more thrif
ty and industrious of their color.—Tele
graph and Messenger .
They call the girls in the Treasu
ry Department, who scissor sheets of por
tal currency, “Revenue Cutters.” That’s
as bad as Simpkins calling his wife his

she rifles hie pockets while he m asleep.
Eastern Splendor.— ln the diary of
the Hon. Mrs. William Grey, just pub
lished (Mrs. Grey traveled in the East

it-is stated that in one of the palaces
which she visited the bedsteads were of
silver, and cost sls 000 apiece—and

This method of treating disease in its various forms, by external applications, was introduced
by mein this State, in 1865,up0n my return from Euiope, and is, comparatively speaking, a
new one, but has been already sufficiently tested in various parts of this State, to secure for it
hosts of friends, especially amongst the many patients whose sufferings have been promptly and
PERMANENTLY cured by means of the “Biometer.”
I have speedily restored those who suffered from the b’ighting disease of Paralysis, and have
had the-g'-atification to see the return of health iu tho victims of Epileptic convulsions, whost
cases have been repeatedlv pronounced incurable, l>y competent authorities.
Gout and Rheumatism yields to this treatment with wonderful promptness, and not less re
markable in the fact that all skin diseases, by whatever technical name they may be designated,
have to succumb to iny system of external medication.

HOUSE has built itself up an immense reputation
through the wonderful cures of the great Pyrafuge.
It cures and leaves the patient stronger and heal
thier than bes >re the attack ; it puls him fleshier,
brings nut the sunken cheeks of the emaciated, acts
like a tonic and makes tbe patient charge from de
spondency to cheerfulness, and the whole is so effi
cient because very little medicine indeed is used.—
Pyrafuge is a great Chill-and-Fever lemedy, caus
ing destruction to that disease speedily and effect
ually. Pyrafuge can now be had everywhere.

We have examined carefully the Pianos on exhi

and for sweetness of tone, power, touch, mechan

well as the high polished case, we consider the
Stieff Piano decidedly tire very best on exhibi-ion.
