THE PICKENS SENTINEL, I DEVOTED TO POLITICS, MORALITY, EDUCATION AND TO THE GENERAL INTEREST OF T1IE COUNTRY. VOL. V. PICKENS, S. C.( THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1876.

We are all frequently so impressed that wo aro glad to stop f and consider it, before coming to a determination npon any subject, even while I begin to write I am bailed with tho question as to what ** *8bo1 will say concerning this article. And the truth ia I am not able to give a satisfactory answer, but shall continuo regardless of 'her' opinion. It seems to be ono of tho weak * points in man kind to bo always cou~ nnlfinrr Iho ftnininno r> f M..n n.,?nA? - I ? " VI The child ia thus impressed at a vo*y v early ago. It Boon begins to fear thai ehe will object to its shoes, hat, coat or something else; and ns time papss os the child becomes more deeply impressed with the idea that it is far better to please 'her' in every par ticular if possi'olo, and thus it keops ^on wearying with Ibis iclca, until 1 ho boy in his 'toons' outers school quite puzzled ns to the beet manner in which to gain'her* good will. And when declamation day comes ho is more puzzled tlinn ever?ho is bo fearful that Sjhe' will bo displeased that, but f >r it being requit ed by his icacher, ho would conclude in most instances not to itiako an effort at all. ? But when ho does try. eiihor from compulsion or voluntarily, his mind 4 18 oft on fio jvl)BOi lied willi this thought that he makes a failure and is then mortilied woiro than evor, whereas !f 1? I 1 1 --- - 1 I ! ii no iiiiu unuyrmKcn nssuuiv regai*<i-> lees of what 'she' miirlit say, ho would have been most likely to liavo succeeded. Again tlie young lad'ea aro often troubled concerning this same question. It ia ono among their highest nimes, and in fact, it is tho height of tho ambition of aomo of them to please Mrs. Grundy. An aasocia'ion, ft camp meeting or something of ilio kind is con ing. Miss A. define* to make a very ftno appearance) on these occjisionb, uiiich, l?v the way, .

Tl'O millinery establishment must be visited ai once, and the nir.n tua-maker irmst have a speedy call, beetles many other things 6ho is to arrange with her own hands, but at tliiu juncturo the more considerate mother puts iti her appearance and | suggests that thoy are rather 'short np' in many matters, and that she had belter irive ud her new idoas and I appe&r on these occasions as heretofore. Bnt here the tormenting thought cornee with force that she exclaims in a somewhat frotlul manner, "I ' will be laughed at." I've got nothv ing lit to wear." 4iIf I can't go like other folks I won't go at all." And thus comes tho unnecessary trouble, from having t>o great a desire to please "Mrs.. Grundy." But I must stop for this timo, as perhaps I shall have something to say concerning this groat "Mistress" at some future time. Jaaytciikm. Pickons County, July 8. n? i ? 4 A CcRB FOIiCoNBUM I'TION.?A COJ * respondent of the Southern Plantation writes as follows about tho powor of a well known plant: "I have discovered a remedy for pulmonary consumption. It has cnrod a number of eases alter they had cornmonced bleeding at tho lunga and the hectic flush was already on the choek. A t ier trying tliia remedy to my own satisfaction, I havo-lhought philanthropy f required that I should lot it be known to tho world.

At last tho long oxpectod day has como and gone, and wo havo reached our hundred years. Nothing has occurred in tho loast to mnr tho general harmony of tho occasion. Onr motherland, forgetful of tho strife and bitterness ot past conflicts, sends ono of tho foremost gontlomen of England to do us honor. Germany, unmindful that wo nro annually depriving lior of millions of her choicest 8i)n8 and daughters, flashes her greeting across the eca, and bids us a hearty God-speed. Our old time cousin and fiiond, Canada, loving, as she does, her institutions and her Queen, nevertheless, through her Press Association?representing no less tho patriotism than tlio imelligence of the Now Dominion?joins in cheers for tho young Republic and hoorays for Yankee Doodlo. It is especially gratifying that this should bo so, and that nations representing oven the despotisms ol the world re J Viw III KJ III OUVi^CDO. W hen I closed my last loiter, it una en tiio uvo ol tlio third of July. Ino whole city was in a state of breathhss ex| octation for tlio night parade which was to precede tlio coremonies ol the fourth. Towards evening on llio third tlio population residing in tlie upper portions of the city and its environs turned their faces towards the scene of the proces sion. -Street ears were crowded, horses struggling tor liIts, conductors swearing, men quarrelsome, women screaming and scolding, till it tea )y KGOItliul no if tin* ntirwiat limif r\i 1 > ? man patience I<ncl been reached.?

Aii my urioi space i cannuv attempt to describo tho procession, any more than to say it was a grand success; and as tbo new clock on old Independence tower announced the hour of Iwelvo, which Bounded like tho rcqniotn of tho departed coutury, tho streot in iront of the hall, and for many blocks oither way, was illuminated with a blazo of glory; cannon thuudrcd, steam whistles screamed, people shouted, drums heat, email arms rattled, till it really seemed a3 if tho roof wa8gono uj) or tho bottom was dropped out, or something dread l'ul had happened, tilll finally, com?. Plata! v exhausted with their own ** uoisc, tho ciin ceased, and peace rigncd onco more. Sleep laid his leaden maco upon tho eyelids of wen* ry thousands, and tor two or throe hours there was comparative calm.

The President of tho United States was absent; but General Sherman and Sheridan, his famed lieutenants, honored tho occasion, and tho Vice-President of iho United States ablv presided in the absonce of bia chief. A S|*ace about Indepen donee Uall was roped off and guarded by a cordon of police, and no one nnprovided with n hiisr whs not. n!_ lowed within the charmed circle. I will not inflict tho ceremonies on ray read era.
