Our New York correspondent, J. H. Warwick, so well known to our readers by the sobriquet of Broad brim, will leave New York the 10th of April, for Paris, to attend the IntenAonal Exposition. His let ters tothe Hmmmu have been among the most readable newspaper arti cles that -we have ever seen, and were eagerly read by all. Whether serious or gay, they are always ex ceedingly entertaining. We hope that he will continue his correspondence from Paris. The Newspaper as an Eduea tor. What we shall say on this sub ject is not intended to recommend this paper or any other in particu lar, but newspapers in general. So important has the newspaper be come that it has received in England the appellation of the "Fourth Es tate of the Realm," being placed alongside the King, Lords and Com mons in influence and power. In this country it is-equally powerful. The best newspapers are the lead ers of public opinion, exercising an - unbounded influence upon the pub lic mind in all matters of public in terest. But great as it is as a source of power, it is still greater as a source of information. A per son who reads the papers regularly acquires a rich store of knowledge ; he keeps himself informed on the current topics of the day, and knows what is taking place in the world around him. He is learning the two most important branches of knowledge, history and geography. It is really astonishing to see how little our young men and boys know of the present and immediate past. They can tell you the names of the Kings and Emperors of Rome, and of the Kings of England; they know the causes and the his tory of the English and the French Revolutions, but are utterly igno rant in regard to the most impor tant events connected with their own and other countries during their lifetime. This is a defect in education. By a few minute's de votion daily, or weekly even, to a good newpaper one acquires an im mense stock of information of the most important and interesting character. If one does not keep abreast of the times from youth up, he had as well been born grown. This is a matter that deser':es the serious consideration of every father and teacher. Let any father gather his boys around him at night ; tell them to lay aside their Latin and Greek a few minutes ; ask them who are President and Vice-Presi dent, who are our U. S. Senators, our Congressmen, our State offi cers, County officers, and so on, and see if they are not ignorant on these everyday matters. Then, let him ask himself whether his boys are being properly educated. In our own day have transpired events that will go to make history for our great-grand-children-events of momentous interest-the Ameri can Civil War of 1861-5, the Prus sian and Austrian War of 1866, the Franco-German War of 1870-1, the Turko-Rassian War of 1877-8, the Grand Presidential Campaign of 1876, the Electoiral Commission, by which a candidate was made Presi dent who was not elected, the re demption of South Carolina from the rule of the carpet-bagger-all these, and many other events that have recently occurred will form in exhaustible themes for the future historian, and the readers of the 21s Centur will pore over them Argonautic Expedition. And why? Simply because they have been con tent to live in ignorance, or have been TOO STINGY TO PAY A FEW DOL LARS FOR A NEWSPAPER. Every school and college should require the pupils to study contem poraneous history-provide good newspapers, and make them a spe cial branch of instruction. How else will the boys ever learn the history of their own times? As these events occur the newspapers record them, and if we do not learn them there we lose them forever; for the historian who shall write them will belong to a future genera tion. The value of a good newspa per is inestimable. Editorial Review. A terrible cyclone passed through Augusta, Ga., Thursday night, de molishing many houses and destroy ing several lives. Anderson, one of the members of the Louisiana Returning Board, was convicted in New Orleans, Fri day, for perjury and forgery in con nection with the counting of the votes for Presidential Electors in that State in November, 1876.

HOUSE.-Nothing of interest in the House. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Fub'y 6, 1878. If the Democratic majority in the House should determine in advance upon a reduction of five, ten or fifteen per cent. from last year's expenses of evei-y department of the Government, and should judiciously selet the items on which the principal reductions should be made, not an interest of the Government would suffer. And it seems as if no reduction could be expected unless it is thus agreed upon and made a paity measure. Every Committee report suggesting a nore economical administration of any branch of the service has so far been denounced by a united Republican party, and almost always Democrats enough sympathize with extravagance and plunder, or have local interests to take care of, to make the passage of any measure of economy a matter of doubt. On this subject the, impor tance of which cannot be overrated, there is not only the want of harmony indicated above in Congress, but apathy at the White House. Except in getting generalities the head of the Goveinment has said nothing. No member of the Cabinet. except Secre tary Sherman, has taken strong ground for reduction of expenses, and no doubt sought in that way personal popularity at the expense of the other heads of departments. J. Madison Wells was registered at a hotel here the other evening, and a man at the hotel office told all inquir ing friends that the great King maker had gone to the house of Senator Kel logg. Senator Kellogg's bell was rung that night by every Washington news paper man not in the secret. Inqui ries were frequently made at the White House, also, but Wells had not been there. By the way, one thinks of the White House involuntarily whenever these Returning Board men are the subject of discussion. Wells, it is now saidl, who has just surren dered in New Orleans, expects a jury more favorable to him now that his trial cannot take place in January. Anderson's case is not decided, but will be this week, probably. It seems hard to pnnish these people, who re ceived nothing more than a smail of fce in a Custom House, while the highest position in the country is filled by a man who, but for the crimes for which they are being tried, would now be a private citizen. There was, last night, it is said, a meeting of "visiting statesmen" in luding Stanley Matthews, Sherman and Garfield, of Ohio, and Zack Chan dler's son-in-law, of Maine, to consider what should be done if, as has been reported, they or any ofl them should be indicted for complicity in those Louisiana frauds. The~ meeting was private. In tbe Senate yesterday Mr. Bay ard made the most forcible speech of the sesion 'against the Bland bill. He concluded by saying he was wil ling to permit the free coinage of the silver dollar of 4124 grains, and to make it a legal tender to a limited ex tent, but to do more than this meant national bankruptcy and nothing else. n the House a resolution to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution favor ng an income tax, received 165 votes, gainst 88. This was an unexpectedly large vote, and indicates that if a bill >f the kind comes squarely before the ouse it will receive a two-thirds vote. There has come with Francis Mur phy to this city the same influence which seems to have accompanied him lsewhere. On Saturday night a neeting was advertised at Lincoln Rall, the largest in the District. Soon another had to be organized, and ;hen another, at all of which Murphy spoke. For various reasons, among hem the opposition of a portion of he clergy and a carefully disseminated itory that the lecturer was merely ercenary and did not speak, unless de was assured of two or three hun Ired dollars per night, the first meet .ngs were not full. They are now the nost enthusiastic meetings ever held e,an . t he larget indoor meet Presentment of the Grand Jury. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY.-IN THE GENERAL SESSIONS. FEBRUARY TERM, 1878. The undersigned members of the Grand Jury of said County would make the following presentment: That, upon examination, they find the offices of the COUNTY AUDITOR, COUNTY TREAS URER, JUDGE OF PROBATE, COUN TY COMMISSIONERS AND SHERIFF well kept and in excellent order. They desire to make special mention of the County Auditor's faithful performance of his duties : that they find the books of the COUNTY CORONER well kept; that they find the affairs of the office of the SCHOOL COMMISSIONER in a very loose condition, and, in jus tice to the present incumbent, they regard him as entirely free from blame therefor as he has only been in posses sion of the office a few days; that they find the present CLERK OF COURT of General Sessions and Common Pleas keeping his office in proper order; they further find that Thomas M. Lake, late Clerk, has failed to turn over, to either of his successors, the moneys of said office, as required by law, and they recommend that the Solicitor at once take such action as may be ne cessary to have the law complied with. They further find that all of the County officers have deposited the moneys in their hands as requested by law. That they have not had op portunity to examine into the manner in which the various TRIAL JUSTICES of the County have discharged their duties, with the exception of those risident in the Town of Newberry, who have done so in a satisfactory manner. That they find the ROADS of the County in bad condition, and recommend that the County Commis sioners give them immediate attention. That they find the JAIL well and cleanlily kept, and the inmates comfortably eared for. They further find the building needing some re pairs, especially in the foundation at the South-western corner and in the rough-cast at the South-eastern cor ner. They further find some small re pairs are needed in the COURT HOUSE, which will be readily apparent to the Commissioners of Public IJuildings upon examination. That they find the POOR HOUSE hasheretofore been kept badly, and that the present Keeper is remedying the present bad order as rapidly as he can. That they find that the majority of cases coming before them arise from the use of INTOXICATING LIQUORS AND FIRE .ARMS. They desire to state that, in their opin ion, it would be of incalculable benefit to the State and County if the traffic in liquors of all kinds were .restrained within the smallest limits by proper legislation, and that the least change in the present law which would result in any good would be the repeal of the quart and retail licenses. They are further cf the opinion that the Statute relative to carrying concealed weapons should be more rigidly enforced. They further find VAGRANCY a growing evil in the County, and that, in their opinion, the present Statute in relation thereto should be so amended as to provide a certain and definite punishment for the of fense. They, therefore, respectfully pre sent all these matters for the attention and consideration of the Court. L. M.~SPEERS, Foreman. .W. W. RISER. R. C. SONDLEY. B. H. MAYBIN. J. B. WERTS. -JUNIUS E.

AUSTIN. sentment you have just made. It is encouraging to learn that the affairs of the County are in so good a condition, and that they are growing even bet ter. So much of your presentment as regards ("anty affairs that need at tention, will be referred to the Solicit or for action. So much as recom mends additional legislation upon the subjects of selling liquors and carry ing concealed weapons, will be for warded to your Representatives in the General Assembly. You are, no doubt, coirect in desig nating whiskey and pistols as the chief causes of crime. It is so not only here, but elsewhere in the State. In regard to carrying concealed weapons, there is no law in this State, gentle men, that prohibits it. The habit of carrying arms, which is so common, is a discredit to our civilization. Cer tain circumstances surrounding our people during the recent past have produced this habit. The habit ig not gentlemanly, is not Christian, yet some gentlemen and Christians feel it necessary to their personal protection in the present condition of the coun try. I have had a varied experience, have passed through a great deal, and over one year ago stood, as you all did, on the brink of a civil war ; yet have never found it either necessary or de sirable to be armed except while serv ing in the war. Experience teaches that there is no necessity for arms if one is cool, collected and self-restrain ing. The Legislature should provide a severe punishment for carrying con cealed weapons. More important than legislation is that every good citizen should discourage the practice, and by his own conduct set a wholesome ex ample in behalf of law and order, that the country may no longer have to answer for the blood of her citizens. We want capital to come to this State; we want good, honest, peaceable and intelligent men to come here from the crowded North to help build up our waste places. They will never come till this perpicious habit of carrying concealed weapons ceases, and human life thereby becomes more secure. All law-abiding men should unite to put down this evil. Better to suffer wrong and injury than to have one's hands stained with the blood of a fellow be ing. I feel that your diligence and the creditable manner in which you have discharged your duties entitle you to the thanks of your County, and the Court thanks you in its behalf. I trust, gentlemen, that your private affairs have not suffered while you have been attending to this public duty. FOR THE HERALD, Prognosticators. Surrounding circumstances and the short-Sightedness of the wisest and most experienced put to naught the expectations of all. The papers teem with articles on remonetizing silver. Congress appears to be in a sort of dilemma, hesitating between two opin ions. Yet nevertheless, everything pro and con, the low premium and the influx of gold into this country, is a problem to be solved. It has been as erted by some, that our bonds would and will fall in value, that millions of them would be sent back to this coun try immediately, in consequence of the political indications of the certainty of the passage of the bill remonetizing silver. On the contrary oul bonds are not being sent home, the market prices are fairly sustained, and gold is actually coming into this country in no small quantities from the old world. The premium on gold is lower than ever before since the war, and our ex changes remarkrably favorable. If we take a bird's eye view of Eu rope, the very same phenomena pre. sent itself; France is bi-metallic and is constantly importing, hoarding and accumulating gold. She has added millions of gold to her stock within the last year. England in the mean time has lost over one hundred mil lions, and Germany with all the deep research and speculative reasonings of her financialists is constantly selling her silver for gold, and losing the lat ter in spite of all her preventives and speculative theories. From all these developments we in fer, that the predictions of political prognosticators, of far-seeing financial seers, to-wit : "that the mar1ret value of our bonds would be depreciated and would be returned home in countless millions, and that the premium on gold would rise to a ruinous extent," have all signally and pointedly failed, proving incontestibly that the specu lative and best devised schemes of men are mere bubbles, myths, cobwebs on the brain. Millions of dollars we observe are n their way to this country and miu ions more will inevitably follow in the wake, and all in face of the fact, that a large majority of the American peo pe, both houses in Congress, and our juggling president are in favor of re onetizing silver. Why is this ? annot some political Oedipus unravel, s.ai.W a nnot take any mud-, FoR THE ERALD. NEWBERRY, S. C., 9th February, 1878. ML EDITOR : I desire through the columns of your paper to expose the fact, that on last Tuesday night just after dark, the Presbyterian Parsonage of this place was unceremoniously en tered by an excited crowd from the Presbyterian congregation,followed and encouraged by persons from the Epis copal, Associate Reformed, Methodist, Baptist and Lutheran congregations, and imposed a heavy pounding up on the Pastor and his family, which was wholly undeserved by them. Thick and fast, men, womeu and children, hurled at us pounds of pound cake, apples, oranges, nuts, coffee, sugar, rice, salt, buckwheat, soda, butter balls, irish potatoes, cheese, "hard" soap, ham joints, fruit cans, pickle jars, syrup bottles, &c., &c., &o. Yes' and eggs even, which fortunately wer sound. - I do assure you, sir, this pounding was so heavy, that its ef fects will last for weeks, and can nevey beforgotten. This was not all. Af ter. the pounding, the grown people took possession of the lower rooms ol the house, and the children of the front piazza, yard, and church enclo sure, and kept up loud talking, laugh ing, singing, playing and romping un til 9 o'clock. -Then, notwithstanding all this bevavior, the crowd, gathered up hats and wrappers, and, 'would you believe it ?) with much show ol kindness bid as each good night, evei wishing many blessings on our heads, and went away really happy over the kind of treatment they had bestowed upon us. Quiet being restored we sat down tc think and talk over this surprising affair, when the Pastor, putting hi hand into one of his coat pockets drew therefrom three envelopes eaci euclosing a $5.00 note, meant doubt. less, as we thought, for the use of th( house. The conclusions reached were these: 1. That good and not evil was intend, ed. 2. That good would eertainly re sut from the pounding, though il was undeserved. 3. That, therefore instead of complaining, we should be grateful for its imposition. Then being profoundly thankful that we fared, even as well as we did, and ac epting the notes for the use of th< house, we, in our hearts, implored the choicest blessing of Heaven upon eaci and every one of this crowd, for the kindness intended, and retired to rest Respectfully, THE PASTOR.

IT SPEAKs FOR ITSELF. ROCKPORT, Mass., 2d April, 1877. Mr. EDIToa: Having read in~ your paper reports of the remarkable cres of eatarrh, I am induced to tell "what I know about catarrh," and I fancy the "snuff" and "inhaling-tube" makers (mere dollar grabbers) would be glad if they could emblazon a sim. ilar cure in the papers. For 26 years I suffered with eatarrh. The~ nasal passages became completely closed. "Snuff," "dust," "ashes" "inhaling. tubes," and "sticks," wouldn't work, though at intervals I would sniff up the so-called catarrh snuff, until I be. came a valuable tester for such medi cines. I gradually grew worse, and no one can know how much I suffered or what a miserable being I was. My head ached over my eyes so that I was confined to my bed for many sue essive days, saffering the most in tense pain. which at one time lasted continuously for 168 hours. All sense of swell and taste gone, sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken, and I was hawking and spitting seven-eights of the time. I prayed for death to re: lieve e of my suffering. A favora ble notice in your paper of Dr. Sage's Catarrh R~emedy induced me to pur chase a package, and use it with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which applies the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the only way compatible with common ense. Well, Mr. Editor, it did not cure me in three-fourths of a second, nor in one hour or month, but in less than eight minutes I was relieved, and in three monthis entirely cured, Lnd have remained so for over sixteen months. While using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce's Golden Hedical Discovery to purifyv my blood md strengthen my stomach. I also rept my liver active and bowels regtj ar by the use of his IPleasaat Purga ive Pellets. If my experience will in luce other sufferers to seek the same neans of relief, this letter will have Lnswered its purpose. Yours truly, 8. D. REMICK. PALmABL MEDICIES.
