They were changed, of course. What else could have been expected ? The Beauty had grown sharp and freokled, and her love- ly hair had lost its burnish, and she was not quite ti tidy as ah* used to be in the old days abont her ribbons and frills. Bofkeyed Bessie's sweet voice had degenerated into a whine; she had grown round-shouldered and lost one of her front teeth; and little Kate was a stout, middle-aged woman, who reminded one of Undine no more. But they were his oouslns still—the girls whb had played and romped and flirted with him hi due arithmetical progression. And there still existed a bond of steadfast friend- ship, and he told them the story of the Bouthern wife who had been buried for ive years under the magnolias, and they aD sympathized, and Beauty even cried a little. \ I have brought my three ohildren to the North,\ he said. \Heft them in New York, and if I oan get some genuine, whole-souled woman to take charge of my home, I'm thinking of settling hsre in Elm Mountain.

He has probably made a deeper impress upon the history of, this century even than the first Napoleon. Bib mastery over events in Europe during the past twelve years has been well-nigh supreme. It was Bismarck who planned the series of brief, brilliant and victorious wars whiot brought about German unity, the revival of the German Empire, and the ascendancy of Prussia over the other German States. ,Ha thus carried the popularity and power of the royal house of Prussia to a height of which Frederio the Great never dared to dream. Sinoe that great event Bismarok'i Influence not only In Germany, but through- out Europe, has quite overshadowed that of every other statesman. How has he used the power thus cbntered in his hands ? In one sense, he has used it to the political well-being of the German people. He has worked sturdily to set the new empire upon a firm basis. He has made] a nation so strong and solid that it can defy the hostility of any or^of all of its rival*. Bat on the other hand, it must be con- fessef that Bismarok has failed to use hit snormoos influence for the best interests oi the people whom he, under the emperor, has sp/rlgorously ruled. Bismarck Is an aristoorat and a thorough partisan of the divine ..right of kings. Hie temperament is despotio, haaghty and over- bearing. He believes in strengthening the power of the crown} not. in enlarging the liberties of the people. Through all thb period, daring which his will has been law in Germany, he not only has not enlarged the rights of tho Ger. man masses, but he has persistently opposed every effort to that end. Be has borne him- self, not as the minister of a constitutional king, and as the servant ofja nation, but as the adviser of an absolute monarch. Prussia, the*Kingdom whioh Bismarok has set over the rest of Germany, has what is called a \ oonstitatlon.\ constitution is supposed to give the people a controlling voloe on the affairs of the nation. But Bis- marck has again and again shown his oon- | tempt for it. If the people sent a Parlia- mont to Beilin whloh apposed tha'ohanoel- or's projeots, he caused it to be dissolved, »ud went on with his sohemes on his own re- sponsibility. But despite this, the popular power seemi to have been growing, and has become formidable even to the haughty Biomarok himself. Parliament after Parliament has iared to \resist and rejeot his proponali body being more liberal than the one whioh preoeded it. Thus thwarted by a foroo whioh bo long despised and ignored, Bismarck is said to have now adopted a oourso of high*handed defiance of the popular will. <JTher« formerly existod in Prussia a body oaUed the \State Oouuoil.\ Its members were named by the king; nnd a very large power was intrusted to It. No oould be introduced by any one in Parlia- ment, unless the measure had already been approved by the State OonnoH. The repre- sentatives of the people, In a word, had no right to propose bill whioh did not gain the assent of these appointeos of the king. It is now reported that Bismarck propose* to revive this despotlo body, and to endo it with its old powers; and thus to resist tha popular leadecS In Parliament. THE MEXICAN SOMBRERO. The hat la beyond oomparlion the pel article of a Mexican's dress. Even the mat- ter of the dents in the orown is nsed to vey a meaning. Four dents must be arrang- ed In mry sombrero. One on eaoh side, one In front and one behind. The signifi- cance of this arrangement Is that, when there a difference of opinion in this country In regard to the rights of the ohuroh, and the two parties were termed, one In the ohuroh and one against it, the ohuroh party adopted this devlo* as a distinguishing mark, and these four denU are intended to give the orown a rude form of thn oroM.

The country Is believed to be a poor, arid waste, destitute of .everything that might tend to make it oven a grazing land. But the north, guided and biased so many yean by sensational stories for political effect, is beginning to realize the true import- ance of the South, not only as a producing, but a manufacturing country. Columbia has.been called \A garden spot.\ It certainly is one of the prettiest cities in the South. . Its historical points of interest are that Confederate money was manufactured here, and\ that the city was al. most completely destroyed by fire just at the olnso of the war. Its situation is very plot- aresque and many of the views inexpressibly beautiful and romantic. Its State House, designed to be one of the handsomest struct- ires in the country, was begun just before tlio war. It never was finished. The walla ily wore built; and Jto-day on the '(_ a d arc uad the building are immense gran- ito blocks lying exactly where they were dropped by tho workmen twenty-three years ago. On the east side of the building, near one of the second story windows to the rusty mark of a three-inob solid shot, fired by Sher- man's troops before they entered the city in April, 1866. One corner of an immense ool • umn was carried away by another bolt, and the fluting of a Corinthian column was badly battered by a third shot. These marks to. day only awaken in the heart of the South Oaroliniaa contempt aud brmg to his tongue July sarcasm. The oity is the great cotton oentre of^the Sftite. Here it is that this profitable pro- duct Is brought to be shipped over the South Carolina Road to Charleston, and over the Obariotto, Columbia, and Augusta BaUroad and the Biohmond and Danville to the North and East. The greater part of thisZcotton is brought in over the Columbia and Greenville fload. From the counties of Kewberry, Laurens, Union, Bpartanburg, Anderson, Greenville, and AbbeyviUe over l«8,000 bales wore brought from September 1, 1882, to April 1, 1688, yielding to those oountiee over $8,000,000 in cash. Last year in the jame period only 117,000 bales were moved, and many of the farmers in these counties were forced to import their own wheat corn. This year they have been enabled to export wheat and other cereals. New faoto- •les and mills aro inprooess of creation all over the State. In this oity a movement is foot to develope the water power witl the view of having It surpass Augusta'\. There is no reason why the experiment oan- not be made thoroughly successful. And the Improved facilities will be equal to at least 80,000 horse power. Large and new cotton factories have'been built at Piedmont, Newherry and Spartan- burg, on the line of the Oolimbia and Gi ville Railroad. While the smaller olai the small towns are simply legion. The factory at Piedmont started in with a bor. rowed capital of $260,000. The hung by its finger nails for many months. At the end of two years the company return- ed the $250,000. To-day its capital is $600, 000, and it pays 12 per cent, dividends. This Is but one Instance of the many recent suooessfol business ventures made in th« etate.— N«u> Fork Commercial Advertiser.

He was the predecessor of his son on the same benoh now occupied by Colonel Hutchins, of Gwlnnett, and was popalariy known all through 8* upper portion of the State. \Daring the progress of the Superior Oourt at OarnesviBe last week this amusing inci- dent occurred, whioh was related to a New South scribe by Senator Phil Davis Oolonel Thurmond, of Athens, an attorney, aad an instrument of writing in court, the ralidity of whioh needed to be proven and which could only be done by the owner ol signature found thereon swearing to th< same. The witness was called and an old gray-haired man, who had lived over his three sooie and ten, took the stand and Oolonel Thurmond handed him the paper udaaked: \Is that your signature, sir V^r The old gentleman looked at the papei sloeely, and said: \Wa'al I'll tell yer, Ia> gitting old, am my eye-sight are not so good as it wunst was, bat if somebody will loan me a par oi specks, praps I kin cipher it oat\ A pair of glasses were famished him, ae scratinlzmgly gazed at *he document jain. \Well?\ said the lawyer. The witness continued to peer at the pa- er. \Very well,\ Oolonel Thurmond said again, waiting for the witness to deride.

But instead of \coming down,\ the ole, an turned his eyes on the Court, and after gazing at him for some time, he said \ Jedge, is you old man Nath Hntohin' boy?\ \He was my father,\ answered the Oourt, \ Wa'al, give me yer hand, Jedge, kaze loved yer daddy, and I is awful glad to see Us boy followin' in bis foot marks.\ The Coort gave the old man his hand, and after shaking it heartily, the witness stepped from the stand and started out oi (he oourt room. When he had gotten oui of the bar, and was about midday 1 hall,, he tamed abruptly abont, and said rather a loud tone of voice; \ Here—here's .them ar specks, if any jrouns wants 'eni> The court room was in an uproar laughter, bat the old man never, smiled, he returned the glasses and left the house.' Slbert South, RATS IN A SILVER HIKE. In the Franklin Soott mine on Prospect Mountain no work had been done for three years until two weeks ago, and probably human being had gone down into it dui = that period of time. Upon taking a lease of the property the lessees' went up to mine, and one of their number, Joe Oum- mlnge, was chosen to descend the ladders nearly a hundred feet, with a rope tied around his waist for the sake of tgainst accident. He descended to the bo! torn, and there found himself surrounded by myriads of large rate. The animals were seized with terror at his appearance amoni them, and jumped about the sides of I shaft, and fat wild confusion covered him times from head to foot. He says he nevei experienced sooh singular and disagreeabli sensations in his life. A minute seemed him an age. He admits that he was scared, for he was afraid that he would be eates alive by the crazed and ravenous although they, if possible, were more fright- ened than he, aud leaped upon him in efforts to escape. He tried to avoid while they were doing their best to dodge tiim. He yelled as loud 1 as he oould for boys on top to haul him out. When the] began to tug away and he felt his feet the ladder* again and had brushed off last dinging rodent, he breathed eashr, and congratulated himself for a while on whi be had supposed'nothing short of an esc from death. On reaching the surfaoe gi powder was brought into requisition i used until it was thought the last rat . been destroyed.
