Netos and Courier ] SENECA CITY, March 9 -While at Seneca I saw a small herd of Holstein j cattle owned by M. W. Coleman. I This ia comparatively a new breed for the South, as he told me that, out ode of his, the only registered stock of this kind in the State was owned by Mr. Breuer, of Charleston. Tiny are bred extensively in the Northwest/ Middle and Eastern States, where they have proven to be the best com bination cows known. They are as .Jargj* aa tb? p'part born tDn.-ham ?cd will give more milk, and of a superior quality, than the Ayershire. Tbey are considered the beat cheese cattle . in the world, and for the yoke, and shambles certainly they cannot be ex celled} In addition to. this herd of fine stock I had the pleasure of seeing a few fine Jerseys owned by L. W. Jor dan. He ba? at the head of bis herd 41 Nat Hammond," No. 6,025, which he claims ie as fine a bred animal as can be found in the South. His two heifers, to say the least, are beautiful and to be appreciated mast be seen. They were bought in Mas achusettB last fall, and their pedigrees show them to be well bred. It is seldom one sees three finer animals. There is quite a boom in the build ing line here, no less than nine build ings of large size now being in the course of erection. One is astonished by the rapid growth of this place. At the same time it can readily be ac counted for by the energy, enterprise and thrift of the inhabitants. With two first class hotels, a delightful mountain climate and the purest water, Seneca City, as a summer resort will compare favorably with any place. T. D. Prosperity o? the Railroads. The railroads in this State controll ed by the Richmond and Danville Syndicate seem to be making money. A statement showing the earnings ol various roads during the third week in February has been published, from which it appears that the earnings ol the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad during this period amounted to $19,440, an increase of $5,770 over the earnings of the correspond ing week in 1882 The earnings ol the Colombia and -Greenville road were $20.293, an increase of $4,94? over the earnings of the correspond ing week last year. The earning* o! the Riebmona and Danville Railroad yvere $74,600, an increase ot $15,70( ever the corresponding period laai year. This information ought to b< reassuring to those who feared tba the establishment of the Railroa( Commission would prove disastrou to railroad interests. Taking lbj " third week- of February" as ai average week with the railroads, i would appear that they can mak more money with a Railroad Commie sion than without one. It is t-ru that the Commission has not yet ec tablished its Ireight tariffs, but it i iiot likely that anything will be don to cripple the efficiency of our rail road service.-JVCVJS and C'uricr. A GBAND OLD CITY.-D tton Cit zen: Augusta wants the r-.-xt Stat Fair, and we are in favor of her ha^ ing it. Augusta is one of the moe enterprising cities in the South, bc she, unlike some of her neighbors, too modest to be all the while bra; ging and blustering about it. L< the next fair be held there by a means, and thus give the citizens < Georgia a i opportunity tc see what wide-awake, grand old city Angas; is.

Tbe April Trials--* Word to Democrats, It has been announced by the De partment of Justice at Washington that the existence of the Republican party in South Carolina depends upon the conviction of the Democratic de fendants who will be tried at the next April term of the United States Circuit Court lor this State. ' The Administration is resolved to send some Democrats to the penitentiary, whether there is any evidence to pi ove their guilt or not. Able coun I sel, suborned wituesses, abundant bribes and active detectives are relied upon to do the shameful job of pro* caring their conviction. The public cannot so soon have forgotten the persecution of these men in the past, the packed juries, the swift witnesses and the envemomed eloquence of the Gov. rnment counsel at the trials last April. The same dismal farce is to I be repeated. The innocent men who could not then be convicted with all the machinery of the government J against them are to be placed again in the prisoners' dock and subjected j to the expense* and indignity of a 1 public trial. Dallas Sanders, the Philadelphia lawyer with more brass than brains, has given way to Sny der, who appears apon the scene as the especial emissary of Benjamin Brewster in the character of attor ney and detective. Other detectives are at work throughout the State. The employees of the Revenue de partment, an army of deputy mar shals, all the old Radical politicians and every man, white and black, who is mean enough to do the bid ding of the Stalwart^bosses, has been enlisted in the dirty business of se curing evidence against the accused These thiugs should put our people on their guard. The administration hopes by the conviction of a lew Democratic election managers to re store the Rule of the Stranger in South Carolina and to place all of our most cherished institutions once mere in the keeping of a lawless and ignorant mob. The approaching trials will tax the patience and fortitude of our people to the utmost. But let them stand solidly together and not all the misused power of the Federal authorities, backed by the malignant zeal of their hungry understrappers in South, Carolina, can avsil to^arw -?fctrgood men a??d true "who navjj been singled out as the victims of party hate.-Nexos end (burier. i Silk Handkerchiefs and Sore Throats.

P. 8.-You wilt fled all kinda of Ei bles and Drinkable? at Dnrisoe & O Drug Store, ''?jad doja't you folget i The Romance of Mr. Stephens' Life. In one of the early years of the '40a Mr. Stephens, then a young man pai 1 a visit to the home of Mr. Dar den, in Warren county. There he met a flaxen-haired, blue-eyed girl of sixteen, beautiful in face and lovely in character ; piquant, witty and i gifted with a mind rarely cultivated. An attachment grew up, which for j years did not pass the formal bounds of friendship, but which was sacredly cherished by bo'h. The boy lover was poor in this world's goods ; fragile in frame, and harrassed by sickness, he did not dare to aspire to the hand of- one whom he bad learned to love and yet forebore to claim. With wom anly devotion the young girl read the secret in the young man's eyes, and I true to her heart sho could ouly- j wait and love. One evening in 1849 a party was given at the residence of Mr. Little, in Crawford viii e. There the two met once more; there they eijoyed that sweet communion born of perfect trust ; and there Mr. Stephens found courage to speak the words which for years had fought expression, until at last he could no longer contain them. " Are you sure there liv- s none other whom you prefer to me ?" asked the maiden timidly, half shrinkingly, yet only too^appy to feel that she was favored ia his eyes. " lu the whole universe there exists not another," said he passionately. Thus their troth was plighted ; the day wae set for their marriage ; and I all eeemed auspicious f r the lovers. But clouds lowered o'er their hope* ; matters of a private nature which it is not within the domain of the pub lie to know, intervened and deterred the fruition of their hopes The one became immersed in politics, and racked with physical ills hesita ed to enter a state where he feared the happiness of the other might be mar j red. The lady found her duty by the side of an invalid mother, who long lingeied with a confining disease Thu9 the years fW by ; but the plighted troth was kept. Mr. Ste phens never addressed another, and even kept the image of the f*ir young girl in his heart. The lady was the 'recipient of admiration Irom many Lut to all ehe turned a deaf ear. They^kave often met since and whil'g^Bm^i nt T>---:4Z0HttnBi HHt?d, they felt a Bweet' pleasure in ^H5? other's society. But two weeks ago the lady was at the Mansion and on taking leave of her old friend, one of the chairs tripped up, an un favorable sign, as the Governor re marked at the time. The lady has for years been a citizen of Atlanta, and no oue is held in more esteem for ? every quality which adorns woman hood than Miss Caroline Wilkinson. Mr. Stephen Miel ig ions Belief. A few moments after death had taken place, some one remarked on the calmness and trsnquillity with which Mr. Stephens had faced it from the first. Dr. Steiner said : " Such a man as Mr. S e ph enc could have faced any sort of death with per f;ct calmness.'' Some one asked about his religious belief. Dr. Steiner said : " I waB with Mr. Stephens several years ago when he was very low; he thought he was dying and I was very fearful. I was going to Augusta for the night when he stopped me. He said, 'Doctor, I wantyou to see rae die. Except Toomba and my family, I think more of you than of any man on earth. I want you with me when I die.' I agreed to stay w;th lum. Shortly afterwards Dr. Irvine c me in. He said, 'Mr. Stephine, I will go Out and see Harry and his family, and when I come back, if you have n) objection, I will read a chapte. in the Bible and will have a prayer 1 Mr Stephens said quickly : 'Ido ob j act and most decidedly. I have no objection to pray, tor I believe in it: but I do olj<iCt to death bed repent ance. I have made it the rule ol my life to live each day as if it were go y I ing to be my last. In the heat o! y ? politics I may have sometimes forgot' e ! ten myself, but'I am no better to day Q j on my death bed, than I have tried ;e ! to be every day of my life, and I havt 3t j no specis.1 preparation to make anc j no special pleas to offer.' " That was Mr. Stephens'a cree< an? belief. I heard him say on an ig j other occasion : 'Real prayer mean ?- ! to throw yourself at the feet of Jean 1-0 i Christ and to pray trustingly. M; j prayer is the Lord's prayer and th ie j publican'6 prayer.' Mr. Stephens' 16 ' creed was simple, but it would hav P' ! sufficed to have carried him withou ^ a tremor through the most terri bl to j death struggle. It was the rule c is* j his life to live every day as if it wer ! to be tbs last." ad Critical study ot the Bible is nc ;re only right, but needful.

A report comes to us that the peoJ pie of the Tilles*8 Ferry section orJ Lynches Creek are greatly excited afc] this lime over the rumor that ther* ia a wild woman wandering arounii in that neighborhood. Some persone who claim to have seen her, say that she is very black, and that her body is covered with long, black, woolly! hair ; also, that her appearance and J actions ?re wild and savage in the* extreme. She is very shy and will j not allow two people to approach her J at a time, but if one person is alone she will attack them at once, beating^ and biting them in a fearful manner. Two men went out recently to cap tuiR her, but up to nightfall nothing had been seen ol' her. It was eug gested that they light a fire and camp ? oat, thinking that the light might J attract her attention and induce her | toc?me to it. After waiting eomej time, one of the men concluded that ' he wonld go on home. Shortly after 1 he left, the woman made her appear-ii ance and immediately attacked the J man at the fire. He did his best at fighting, bat he was no match for her. He wag beaten and bitten in a fearful ' manner. At last he got a chance to ij run away, and he did it in quick time, j Fear lent speed and strength to his j limbs, enabling him to ont ron hie' enemy, although ??he ?B said to be very j swift of foot. This last act has increased the ex citement, and many persons it is said, are afraid to travel alone now. A. party is being made up to hunt her d ?wn and ?ff ct her capture if posei b e. Lynches creek swamp is her bid ing place, and she remains there un til nightfall when she.starts out ?D ! search of something to eat. When J>t8t seen, she was said to be eating a piece of a bog that she had just killed. We will report the suicess of thc hunting party as 30on as we learn of J it. This information was given to us by a gentleman from that neighbor j hood.-Camcltn Journal. Whit a braded school Is.

Say, for instance, the^e Kow, a tpf.c ded school 100 scholars and dasei lice them, of them, for i- stance, are equally far advanced. They are put in room No. 1, and under a separate teacher The next ten or twelve, or whatever nu tuber as the case may be, according to the proficiency, are put ia ano ber room under another teacher, ai'd so on until all are classified according to their proficiency. When a pupil ap plies for admission to a gladed school, he or she id examined and sent to whatever room he or* she may be qualified to enter. Thero are eepa rate teachers for each room. In some of the ward schools ?D Northern cities there are as many a twcnly different rooms and teachers and as many as one thousand pupils The Scandal That Drew. The venerable clergyman arose slowly in the pulpit, and glancing around on the thinly-scattered con j gregation, said in an emphatic tone, in which there was more of sorrow than of anger : "My beloved breth ren, I am in hopes that there will be more present next Sabbath, a9 I will then have occasion to reveal a scan dal which has long oppressed my heart. It concerns the members < f this church very deeply, and no ot e who has a regard for eternal happi ness should be absent." When the I benediction was pronounced the hind ful of people ?-1 -wly dispersed, b t bfhold how much good seed a f< w can scatter ! The next Sunday the faired edifice was packed. Thero was, indeed, scarcely breathing room when the white haired sage once more lifted his head above the pulpit cushion?, and a silence ae of death fell upon I the expectant throng. He stood s j m ment looking upon the unwonted j scene, and then his voice in silvery ! cadences broke the hush of anticipa tion. "Dear friends," he said, "the j scandal I would reveal to you is this : ! you will gather in crowds to heai mischievous goi=?ip. but you will nol listen to explanations of the inspired On Riehes, Preachers, Etc. I don;t Hear of many folks getting rich. I don't know of but few who are making more than a good fair [| l.ving, and there's t n to one who are Ijpiwerfully scicuged todo that. The ' majority of mankind are always on a strain. Moat o? 'em work hard ?nongh, but somehow they can't get ?ahead, and a good many are in old Plunkett fix who said he waa even with the world for he owed about as iuch as ho dident owe. The average "fimily man is hard rm. There's nobody perishing or freezing, in this funny land, aud very lew folks board ig at the poor house, bat still thr>r [ij a general straggle going on io the ^wn and in the country. Most evo ir? body ia in debt more or leaf, and jwhat one crop don't, pay nae to lap ro?er on the next. The merchants Bay that money is awful tight right now, and I reckon it is. I'm sorry for the merchants, for as a gener&l laing money is their sole dependence. ?u he haprmt got any money he ia a )usted institution, and that ia where he advantage of being a farmer comes n. He can be out of money and still iCjueeze along, for he has corn and 'heat and sheep and hogs and chick fens, and don't have to wear store ')thee,Jr.any great extent, and his Iren can wear their old unes a time and go bare beaded and fare footed when there s no company round. Town folks have to dre*s ietter and.dress oftener, whether they [ctn pay for 'em or not. But it is a tard time ail round to make a liv ?ag, and I don't know exactly what the matter. The average family is jot extravagant. They understand [the Bituati'jn at home and try to con rm, but it louka like they are just [obleeged to fudge a little and go in lebt, and then the misery begins. fc.Vhen the good man gets his mail the post office, he is mo6t afraid I "open it for fear of a dun. Thees ' lamed little just debts, as Sam Mc ? arney used to call 'em, htng around hkz-a, shadow. The four D's arc Diy close kin-debt, duns, death the devil-and one is nearly aa pme as the other. A man who rich and managed to keep or a man who was born poor and gotten rich don't know/much sympathy footEe debtor , and is very apt to lay it all to ir imprudence or bad management the fact is most uf our rich men t a start before the war or built up o{i the ruins of it before society with its extravagances got hold cf 'em they couldent do it now. I know .j? of rich men who if they were to tose their fortunes couldn't start now ind make ano!her. T?ey think they :ould, but they couldent; maukind jje too 6martaad too sharp now for uM>ld fashioned man to stand any ;?anoe. He would get licked up io lis first experiment. Money make money and money can keep money fter it ie made, but there isa alien jhance now lor a young man to mike it?nney and save it and keep in guu iiuTof society. He can bottle him f up and remain a bachelor and j \vn. his back on society and accumu i? a fortune, but the trouble is that ost of 'em ' it to marry and ought marry, and if he bottles himaell ) and spends nothing and dresses jeemraon he is not the sort of man the g ris are waiting for. And so if he jp ends freely and rides around, he is j' it to get married, and then comes .use rent and servant's h re and othes according, and he squeezes j* ong and is always on a strain. There e mighty few getting rich now a tye, bul when a man does get a art, he can get richer than they flfced to. A half a million now is |bout what fifty thousand dollura j ?led to be. But the average man i? .rt going to get rich, and I reckon LLw the common lot, and therefore |t ia all r ght. Nobody ought to dis- J ?

They don't aftei money nor luxuries, but are entitled to a reasonable liv lng. I told a man the ether day about a man who had got rich, and j he said he always knowed he was a j shifty cues. The prr-acher> don't be- j long to that class. They are noel shifty. I wonder what is the ?natter with the churches. They aro always j behind. It ain't one in ten t hat pays the preacher what they promise There is always a balance to lap over, and the laps are never paid. Thc church wants repairs, and there is no money to do it with. I don't know much about the cities nor about, all the towna in tho s'tate, but I know of but one town that h? nice churches all paid for and well furnished and that pays the preachers all they promise, and that town ia the nice little village of Acworth. All the reBt that I kuow are struggling along, begging and pleading aud boping to do better next year. I know that it is mighty hard to keep up four or E IB b hi ai D c c J u s \ o a Ci t< E Si ? F a li b t t five churche? in a little town and pay four or fiv.> preachers. I was reading about this the other 'lay in Scribner's Magazine-about the new church in Connecticut- that has ab sorbed all others. They call it th > Christian League, and it includes Methodists and Biptiets and Presby terian? and Episcopalians and has bat one creed and that ia the apos tie's creed. Towns that bad four churches and four prea^hsrs to pay have consolidated into one, and eve rybody goes th-?re and hoi ps to build it np. This movement begun in New Albion, threo years ago, a #ity of thirteen thousand inhabitant?, and has spread ail over the State u^til, ad ? the article said, ev?ry town in tbs j Slate has followed suit. Thi* is a new.departure sure enough, Hud if ii-, is a!! true is the biggest thing I have read about in a long time. I heard an old man say the other day th&t church monpy was the hardeot money in the world to raioe, and he wa.8 in favor of changing the constitution of j the United States and have the gov ernment to^ pay the preachers, iike they do in England, -For,' says he 'it gets no better, but worpe; and if it wasn't for the women the preachers would perish to death.' He told me about a member who got mad with another member and wanted him turned out of the church, and be cause they wouldent do it he qut paying the preacher. Jeaso. Any thing for an excuse. Well, you tee the preachers can't talk for them selves, and they don't talk, and have long since learned how to stifler aLd be ?trong. The trouble with churches is pret? ty much the same that it is in any other corporation. The members are ?til stockholders with thc individual liability o?anse struck out of the character and no man owes tho dibt They feel ?ike somebody el^e owes it and are not doing their share- of I he paying, and I reckon that'? so, too. But arti v all. tho big tronb'.e io pov erty. The preachers ought to be ail rich and the people, too, and then maybe everybody would be happy. May Iv they would-maybe.
