Ia Ik the Flrnt Heetliis In Favor at MaceMioa In South Carolina - "While down in Abbeville, S. C, re- cently, said Kev. urank rarsona, or New York, "I vlaited the famous schoolhouse there. The building ia not exactly famous for the character of the education that is given there, though I am inclined to think it compares fa vorably with its section of the country but for the part it played during the war of the rebellion, it was in this school house that the first meeting was held in favor of the secession of South Carolina, the first htnte to secede from the union. It was also the place where the first resolution of secession was ever passed. In u few weeks it wus the scone of the organization of the first military organization which tendered its services to the confederate govern ment, which company, by the way, was the first company accepted by that gov ernment. The first man who lost his life in the war, on the confederate side, belonged to that company, "and he was the first man wh' enlisted, lie was killed by the accidental discharge of a musket, which, it ia said, wus the first musket that wat issued to the com pany, though of that I am not as posi tively informed al am about the other fncts under consideration. It was also one of the first schools to be closed in consequence of the war for school pur poses. All these are remnrkuble enough In their wny as Interesting facts In con nection with the rebellion, but It can also be truthfully said that it wus in this building (hut, Jefferson Davis and his cabinet held their last cabinet session of the confederate government. From this building they escaped, and it was only a short distance from there that the confederate president and the niein- bcra of his cabinet wore captured, Untlier remarkable, was It not, In view of the extent ot the southern states, that thu end, praetioally, should have been In the lileuilc.il building where t he HOtunl beginning of the confederate government occurred?

National Review. THROUGH PANAMA. How aa Ulamlaa Canal Woala At f tb OonarH ot Ik World. The situation may thua be summar ized: The existing line of trade aerm sufficient to carry the products between countries that are in a line wilh an isthmus canal. To multiply tdiipa will not make trade, aa the products to be traded In muwt first be raised. A sur vey of tho east and its nrla and sup plies leads to the conviction that an economic revolution must take place before any great chnnge in production and expansion of commerce can be ex pected. In South America the centers of production are on the eastern count, and would receive little demand from Asia or the weitt of the I'nlled Stales. What Is obtained from the west count of South America will bear a transport round the Horn. The carriage of mer chandise hot ween the Atlantic anil Pa cific coasts of the United States atone may offer a prospect of some small in crease, but this increase cannot be .measured. The rise of the Suez passage In importance is no gauge of a l'anumn canal, for thefiroductions of India und Australia, which have more and inure appealed to the markets of Kurope, and made the canal what it Is, will Mill use that path, and find' little or no advan tage is passing through Panama. My conclusion is that a canal will be an undoubted commercial convenience; it is not a necessity. It will not result In an immedlnte or extensive development of trade among the continents, and the commercial interests of the United States in any event are of even less Im portance than the Interests of Kurope. Worthington C. Ford, In Harper' Magazine. Sovoa Wonders ot tho World. We have no indication of the exist ence of a cycle of seven wonders until about the end of the second century f). C. Then appeurs, in nn epigram of Antipater of Sidon, an enumeration of seven great works, which prove to be the very ones later appearing as the seven wonders. They are: (1) the Walls of Babylon; (2) the Statue of Zeus nt Olynfpia; (3) the Hanging Onr dens of Semlramls at Dabylon; (4) the Colossus of Rhodes; (S) the Pyramids of Memphis; (0) the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus; (7) the Temple of Ditma (Artemis) at Ephesus. Within the next century, Vnrro, by his leisurely allusion to the septem opera, betrays that the saying had already assumed current proverbial form. Dlodorus, In the sec ond halt of the same century (first D. C), speaks, too, of "the so-called seven works;" and Strobo, a little later, uses the very phrase, "the seven wonders." From this time on, at least, the septem mlracitla have an assured place in nil the common lore of Rome. The little Greek treatise. "On the Seven Won ders," which has come down to ns in incomplete form, and under the nnme of I'hilo of Byziint.lum, an engineer of the second century fl. C, Is renlly, as Its style und artificial purisms amply show, the work of some rhetorician of the fifth or sixth century nfter f'hrlst, and In no wise chargeable nRiitnxt t In otherwise blnmelesx record of the ex cellent innn of faclnand machines. The Hat It gjves Is the same ns that found in Antlpater's epigram. Prof. Itenjo min Ida Wheeler, In Century, SludeDaRer Waaons and Garriaaes E. W. CARVER, Agent, Warehouse south of S. P.
