JOHN O WHITTrKB, IN YOUTH'S COMPANION. A picture memory brings to me: I look across the years, and see Myself beside my mother's knee. I feel her gentle hand restrain My selfish moods, and know again A child's blind sense of wrong and pain. But wiser now. a man gray grown, My childhood's needs are better known, My mothers chastening love I own. Gray grown, but in our Father's sight A child still groping tor the light To read His works and ways aright I bow myself beneath His hand; That pain Itself for good was planned, I trust, but cannot understand. I fondly dream it needs must be That, as my mother dealt with me, So with His children dealeth He. I wait, and trust the end will prove That here and there, below, above, The chastening heals, the pain Is love! OBSERVATIONS. A VALUAIILE STONE. SOCT1I CAROLINA (.ATHEUINGS.

Trenton voted $2,500 to the Edgefield, Tenton and Aiken Railroad. The grad ing is progressing finely below Trenton. Charleston fertilizers have secured a first class reputation, and the factories are unable to supply the orders of the planters. Thirteen persons were sentenced to the penitentiary at the last term of court for Abbeville for periods of from one year to life impiisonment. Col. A. P. Butler, tish commissioner for the State, says: "The department is sending no fish to South Carolina now, and will not before the hist ot April. The Governor has again granted a respite to Xeil W.

The fence law is rapidlv gaining fa vor throughout the State. A Forgotten Incident of tlic War. New York Sun. In the midst of the great events of the war, such incidents as the follow ing were comparatively unnoticed, and left to be long afteward related in print: Miss Annie Pickens, daughter of tha- (iovernor ot boutli Carolina, was to be married on April 22d, 1803, in Charles ton, to Lieut. Andrew De Rochelle. The wedding party was assembled in the Pickens residence, and the clergy man wa3 asking the bride if she was ready, when a shell from a Union gun in the harbor broke into the room and burst. Nine persons were hurt, but only Miss Pickens's wound proved mor tal. She bore the pain with wonderful fortitude, and was unmoved when in formed that she had only an hour or two to live. De Rochelle said that he would like to have her die his wife, and the poor girl smiled sadly in assent. The guests remember the scene as far more pitiful than they can describe. The bride lay on a sofa, her white dress d ibbled in blood and her hair dishev elled, while her pallid face was so wrung with agony that lier eirorts to smile became futile. The ceremony was hurriedly performed, though the bride's "Yes" was in a faint, labored whisper, and her lips hardly moved in response to ner nusoanus kiss, cue died immediately afterward. Women and the .school question. The women of New York are elated over the passage of the bill which al lows them to vote for school trustees and hold any school office. At a ratifi cation meeting held a few days ago it was stated that thirteen women nau al ready voted for school trustees in Syra cuse, and on next Tuesday the women nf nineteen other towns would enjoy the same privilege. Rev. Robt. Collyer was the only man at me meeting, anu in his speech lie said he believed that woman ought to have as many rights as she can get. lie got this belief, he said, from his mother, "who could have taken a seventy-gun line of battle ship through a successiui engagement u sue said she would, ana n sue umn l, it would have been the first defeat she ever experienced;" all of which family history would go far to show that Mr. Collyer's father must have played a secondary part in the household econo my. Corundum HUnetimhe South-North ( Carolina- Takes the L,ead. Scientific American. The name "corundum" is applied to all crystallized alumina. It is the hard est mineral in the world, except the diamond, and when in the crystalline form and transparent, constitutes the Oriental gems, the sapphire, ruby, emer ald, topaz, eta, which are of great val ue, some even exceeding the diamond, because they are more rare. It is used for abrasive purposes, but as yet a suf ficient quanity has never been found in this country to take the place of em ery. It is much harder than emery, performing the work in less time. Corundum occurs in the great chryso lite belt extending from the Southern part of Virginia to Middle Alabama, passing in a Southwesterly direction through the mountainous portion of North Carolina. In the Southwestern counties in the Nantahala range of mountains (one of the spurs of the Blue Ridge), and laying on either side of Buck Creek (a tributary of the Tennessee), at an elevation of from three to four thou sand feet is the so-called Cullakenee corundum mine, which has been consid ered the largest deposit of corundum in this country. It covers an area of three hundred acres. This mine was purchas ed in April, 1879, by Herman Behr & Co., and has been worked since May, with what success is not reported. In Macon county, N. C, on the western slope of the Blue Ridge, at an elevation of about twenty five hundred feet, is Corundum Hill, formerly known as the Cul lasagee mine. This mine was discov ered in 1872; it was afterwards pur chased by E. B. Ward, and worked for eighteen months by Col. C. W. Jenks, of Boston. Rumor says that gems of ex ceeding great value were taken out. In July, 1878, this mine was purchased by Dr. II. S. Lucas for the Hampden Emery- Company, of Chester, Mass. They commenced mining August 20, and up to the present time they have taken out two hundred tons or corun dum; also, in washing some of the dumps left there when worked by Col. Jenks, were found many fragments of the oriental gem, perfectly transparent and of very great brilliancy. Among these is an emerald weighing 60V2 ca rats, and several rubies of the finest color. In the eastern part ot Jackson coun ts', North Carolina, at the foot of one of the highest peaks of the Blue Ridge, is what is termed the Hog Back mine This mine was operated for a limited season by the Hampden Emery Com pany. Northwest of the Pigeon, in Hay wood county, North Carolina, is still another deposit of corundum, called the Presley mine, which has been worked since one year ago last March. In Madison and near the Buncombe county line, in the same State, is an outcropping of chrysolite, carrying co rundum, which covers an area of seventy-five acres, and has been worked for the Hampden Emery Company for the past season. Deposits of corundum are 'also found in South Carolina, Georgia and Ala bam a. Grant Haw Illinois, too. Wash. cor. Richmond Dispatch. The information received here from Illinois by other Republicans besides Gen. Logan is to the effect that Grant has secured the machinery in that State just as he did in Pennsylvania and New York, and his friends really talk as if they were certain of his nomina tion, while Democrats who have been afraid that Blaine with his immense personal popularity would win at Chicago are highly gratified at the situ ation, They assert that Grant can never get the German vote, while Sher man or Blaine can, . and that hence Grant can be more easily beaten than anybody else. Many thoughtful Demo crats and anti-Grant Republicans, how ever, profess to see trouble in his can didacy, and some go so far as to say that it means revolution, for that whether elected or defeated he will seek to take possession of the "White House. Legislating Against Exodus Agents. The South Carolina House of Repre sentatives has passed a bill making it a misdemeanor, punishable with $500 fine or six months' imprisonment, to entice a colored laborer away from, employers with whom he has made-a written con tract This legislation is aimed at ex odus agents, but the Charleston News and Courier does not think it will help the rivalry between neighboring farm ers f or good colored "help," and reports a growing demand for such labor at ad vancing wages, both because the col ored people are working more on farms of their own and because migration is making labor scarce in particular districts. Seymour on the Third Term. Albany Dispatch to the New York Herald. During the day Governor Seymour strayed into the main vestibule of Bragg's Hotel, and was conversed with for a few minutes by your correspon dent. The distinguished gentleman looked remarkably well, but could. not be drawn into political discussion. He evidently wished to fight shy of the en tangling alliances or party wartare. Agriculture, the wonderful growth of the United States, and kindred topics was discussed with the eloquence so characteristic of the ex-Governor, but the trouble of the Democratic party or the remedies to be applied seemed be a fordidden ground upon which he did not care to enter: He made th& asser tion, however, that the Democrats were likely to wait and ascertain what their opponents were likely to do before tak ing the aggressive in the national cam paign, and also expressed the opinion that harmony and union would soon be brought about. He also asserted that the Republicans did not want a positive man in the presidential chair, the his tory of the organization having proved that fact conclusively. While dealing with such a point it might be inferred from the Governor's remarks that he did not look upon the ex-President's chances of a third nomination as being at all bright, the Republicans being likely to take up a candidate that would harmonize and suit all classes and factions within their ranks. "The strong-man" idea received at his hands a castigation in the remark: "The peo ple must control the government and not the government the people. Busi ness interest is the great lever that guides the country and dictates the policy. We have more talent and geni us in the United States now than in any country on the face of the globe." Alluding to the political history of the ex-President, he said: "The ex-President was a Democrat, and voted for Buchanan for President."

True, Very Tme, Raleigh Observer, It would be very much to be deplored if a great matter involving the interest of tbe-people of the whole State, the future prosperity of our chief city, and the fate of our western connections, should be made to hinge on the for- hinos nf anv one citizen. Should the discussion of the "Western North Caro lina Railroad matter assume the phase nf a strn&trie between rival candidates for gubernatorial honors the people, we apprenena, win, wimuui uiucu muu, put the contestants on the shelf, and take up some new man, whose name has not been connected with the pres ent agitation, Freigriit Discriminations Greensboro Patriot.
