Shortly after the bat- e tie of Plevna our major was Qrdered to take t the colonel of his regiment to a lunatic asylum. The colonel had received a gunshot e wound in the head, which, while it did not S injure his physical faculties to any great ex- c tent, had impaired his mental equilibrium. il It was a delicate task to get the colonel to the asylum, but the miyor adroitly managed b to persuade him that they were going to an o institution for the cure of nervous diseases, s With the cunning peculiar to the insane, the p ' colonel did not betray his thoughts. When the carriage arrived at the asylum, a which was a few miles distant from the city of h Kieff, the colonel was the first to spring out o and enter the door, while the major stayed p back to give some directions to the coachman. We will now let the m^jor himself a tell the rest of the story. When I entered the hall I saw the colonel p whispering in a very confidential manner to Wo oil + n l(UO supcituicuucuv. II O on KU1VV vu>v>v? ? the parlor, and were introduced to a venerable female, a sister of the superintendent, a She was an old maid, but it was, however, s evident from her looks and manner that she had not forgotten how to flirt. Plainly she c had not yet abandoned all hope of capturing a husband. At the tea-table she was partic- o ularly amiable and attentive to the colonel, fi who seemed to reciprocate. Once or twice I b caught them whispering together and looking at me. 1 As soon as tea was over I requested the d superintendent to grant me a private inter- d view, in order to acquaint him with the object of our visit. As soon as we were alone y I said to the superintendent: "In regard to the condition of my unfortu- e nate comrade, I hope that his disease is not incurable. At all events, I have no doubt thdt he will be benefitted by his detention in I this institution." t: The superintendent gave me a piercing a look, and then, with a slightly ironical smile, d replied: 8 "I hope that your stay with us will also u be beneficial to you." n "My stay 1 I don't catch your meaning." ii "Let me feel your pulse," said the super- i< intendent, taking my wrist. 8 "Why do you want to feel my pulse ? I b am not ill." F "From what the colonel tells me, I should s infer that you needed my assistance." fi "But it is the colonel who is off* his head." n "Undoubtedly one of you needs attention, n Have you any written authority ?" t "No, I have not. I supposed, as a matter o of course, that you could distinguish a lunatic n from a sane person, hence I did not come a prepared with written authority." a "This is rather singular. Two gentlemen s come here, and each one points out the other I as the patient. However, the matter can be t readily adjusted. I will send a messenger si on horseback to the city. In the meantime c you will remain in this room." b With these words the superintendent left me. I smiled at my ridiculous position. The ride had made me somewhat tired, so I P threw mysel? on a sofa, and in a few min- 11 utes drowsiness overtook me, and I slept. I a could not have slept very long when I was ? aroused by the superintendent. "Jfoyor," he said, "I beg your pardon." ^ "Well, has your messenger returned from ? the city ?" * "Not yet; but I know, nevertheless, who is out of his mind. It is the colonel." a "How did you make the discovery ?" "He has just proposed to my sister." j1 ENTANGLING A WITNESS. J A case was being tried in a country court. A horse had been stolen from a pasture, and ?.' the evidence all pointed to a certain doubt- rj fhl character of the neighborhood as the culprit Though his guilt seemed clear, he ? had found a lawyer to undertake his defense. At the trial the defendant's attorney expended his energy in trying to confuse and frighten the opposing witnesses, especially a cer- ? tain farmer whose testimony was particularly damaging. The lawyer kept up a fire of P questions, asking many foolish ones and repeating himself again and again, in the hope of decoying the witness into a contradic P tion. P "You say," the lawyer went on, "that . you can swear to having seen this man drive " a horse past your farm on the day in question." "I can," replied the witness, wearily, for P he had already answered the question a doz- 13 en times. a "What time was this ?" " "I told you it was about the middle of the forenoon." " "But I don't want any 'abouts' or any 'middles.' I want you to tell the jury exactly the time." a "Why," said the farmer, "I don't always d carry a gold watch with me when I'm dig- a ging potatoes." Sl "But you have a clock in the house, d haven't you ?" v "Yes." a "Well, what time was it by that ?" e "Why, by that clock it was just nineteen e! minutes past ten." p "You were in the field all the morning?" jt went on the lawyer, smiling suggestively. n "I was." u "How far from the house is the field?" "About half a mile." "You swear, do you, that by the clock in s, your house it was exactly nineteen minutes t< - - * A. Alt past ten r- r< "I do." The lawyer paused and looked triumphantly at the jury; at last he had entrapped ci the witness into a contradictory statement o that would greatly weaken his testimony. "I oi think that will do, he said, with a wave of tl his hand. "I am quite through with you." ei The farmer leisurely picked up his hat A and started to leave the witness stand, at Then, turning slowly about, he added : it "I ought, perhaps, to say that too much tl reliance should not be placed upon that s] clock, as it got out of gear about six months o! ago, and it's been nineteen minutes past ten w ever since.?Philadelphia Times. U 1 > ir Gave Him Advice.?Daveny looked de- tc pressed. He met a friend who, after shaking 01 hands with him, said: nn "You don't seem to be yourself today, p! What is the matter ?" "Oh, I have had most miserable luck lately. Everything that I have touched has h turned out wrong, and now I am m debt." tl "How much do you owe ?" ai "Five hundred dollars, at least." P! "Well, I wouldn't let it worry me. Do as I do; don't pay any distressed attention to m debts. Now, let me tell you something," w and he placed his hand on Daveny's shoul- hi der. "So long as you have the appearance 01 of misfortune, so long will your chances of y* success be hampered. People shun an un- cl fortunate man ; they won't entrust business di to him. Let me tell you what to do: Go h home, put on your best clothes, hire an at- lj tractive rig, and drive about the streets." 11 "But I havent enough money to hire a ni rig." "That's all right; come around to my j, livery stable, and I'll let you have one on f time." m Daveny went round and got the finest team in the stable. He drove through the aj parks, aud seemed to be enjoying himself ^ greatly. The next day he went around and w got another rig?in fact, he kept up his going around until he received a livery bill for ^ $100. He paid no attention to it. One day he met his friend on the street. jj, "Say, Daveny, I am considerably pressed j for money, and would like for you to raise me that hundred dollars." j "Jackson," said Daveny, "if you are in v need of money, do as I do," go home, put on your best clothes, hire an attractive rig, f and drive about the streets."?Arkansaw Traveler. al * * 1 a Step House.?A New Hampshire lawyer, j, with evident appreciation of his little step- s, daughter's wit, tells two stories about her. tJ Shortly before his marriage with her1 ? mother the four-year-old said one day when j the approaching wedding was being discuss? ed: * J a "I'll be glad when Mr. G comes here ir to live." a Her mother was pleased. oi "Why will you be glad," she asked. T " 'Cause p'r'aps then we'll go away some tc times." tl After the wedding the stepfather attempt- oi ed to correct the child for misbehavior at the table. She rebelled and said with flashing eyes: 111 "This isn't your house, anyways." S1 "No," he said gently ; "it is our house." 1' "No, it is not," she replied ; "it's just your ?1 step-house." *c Stoe |am and $itmde. SOREHEAD. A lady subscriber complains of her chick- ' ns being affected with warts or bumps on he head, followed by blindness and death. 1 This is what is known as sorehead, a disuse that is quite common at the South. , lome seasons more than others. Some asribe its cause to a minute insect; others say j t is a-blood disease. It is easily prevented and exterminated y adding Epsom salts to the drinking water ' f both well and affected fowls. A tablepoonful to the quart of water is the right ' iroportion. 1 In addition to the above treatment, the ffected chicks or fowls should have the 1 leads well greased with salty bacon or lard ] nee a day until the sores begin to disappear. 1 The following remedies, applied as a wash, ] re also said to remove the disease: One teaspoonful of pure carbolic acid to a ] lint of water. ( One hundred grains chromic acid to a fluid unce of water. One heaping teaspoonful ,of pulverized , lum and two heaping spoonsful of salt, disolved in one pint of water. One teaspoonful of boracic acid to one ' upful of hot water. { One spoonful of turpentine, one spoonful f pulverized alum, mixed with two spoons- < ill of salty grease fried out of salty fat ( aeon. Any one of the above remedies applied to i hp inrps and the Ensom salts used in the 1 rinking water will undoubtedly cure the isease. Some bathe the head with warm salt rater. Care should be used in using the acid rcmdies, that none get in the eyes of the fowl. What Onions are Here For.?When see a person habitually refuse onions at the able from fastidiousness about their smell, I m sorry for her and for the camel that is oomed to be swallowed by the one who trains at a gnat. That this vegetable is natrally relishing is shown in the constant use jade of it in soups, chowders, meat dress3gs and potatoes. If any do not like on3ns, it will pay to cultivate the taste. In everal countries of Europe, onions with read form a staple diet lor the laboring people, the two articles being a match in trength-qualities. Their virtues as a disinjctant among the waste tissues of the inner ian are too obvious to need more than a lention. An all around argi ment lies in he fact that Americans are the most nervus of all nations, and onions the best of erve food. Allowing celery as a nervine 11 the credit claimed for it, yet for cheapness nd for being conveniently to be had at all easons, onions have much the advantage, taw beef steak and onions chopped almost 3 a pulp and spread in sandwich fashion on lices of diet bread, makes an ideal food for onvalescents and for any one in feeble ealth.?The Sturdy Oak. Healthfulness of Fruit.?Fruit need ot be considered a luxury while apples are i the market; aud they possess nourishing nd medicinal properties of no mean order, 'his is not a new statement, but it is one hat will bear repeating. It has been said, rith a good deal of force, that a truth has to e proclaimed seven hundred times in the Inglish parliament before the least atten ion is paid to it. it is Known among cuuwo, s it is among advertisers, that a similar ule prevails with respect to what is published 1 the newspapers. A raw, mellow apple ! ordinarily digested in a;i hour and a alf, while a boiled cabbage requires five ours; and again on authority, "apples, if aten with breakfast, omitting meals for the ime, have an admirable effect on the sysjm, removing indigestion, correcting the cidities of the stomach and cooling every jbrile tendency." How to Cook Rice.?Rice is becoming a mch more popular article of food than eretofore. It is frequentlj substituted for ot&toes at the chief meal of the day, being lore readily digested. At its present cost ; is relatively cheaper than potatoes, oatleal or grain grits of any kind. In preparlg it only just enough ctld water should e poured on to prevent the rice from burnig at the bottom of the pot, which should ave a close-fitting cover, and with a modrate fire the rice is steamed rather than oiled until it is nearly done; then the cover [ taken off, the surplus steam and moisture Mowed to escape, and the rice turns out a lass of snow-white kernels, each separate om the other, and as much superior to the sual soggy mass, as a fine mealy potato is Liperior to the water-soaked article. Horses in Dark Stables.?The pupil of horses eye is enlarged by being kept in a ark stable; he has a harness put on him nd is suddenly brought out into glaring unlight* which contracts the pupil so sudenly as to cause extreme pain. By perseering in this very foolish and injudicious, s well as cruel practice, the nerve of the ye becomes impaired, and if continued long nough, loss of sight will ensue. To see how ainful it is to face a bright light after havig been in the dark, take a walk some dark ight for a short time till the eyes become sed to the darkness, then drop suddenly lto some well-lighted room, you will scarcer be able to see for a few moments in the idden light. You know how painful it is ) yourself, then why have your horses to jpeatedly bear such unnecessary pain ? ^ PftiTT.TRv Dice.?Professor A. J. Cook is ' redited with the following: "To rid poultry f lice, make a mixture of three parts lard v r sulphur and one part kerosine oil; keep * lis in a close can, right in the henhouse; ev- f ry few days rub the roost poles with it. ' dso use as ointment to apply to the fowls fter they go to roost, and it is dark ; apply s about the breast, under the wings, over c le thighs, etc. In addition to the above, t irinkle the house with a diluted application t f part crude carbolic acid to four parts of ater. It Is well to coat the house once or c vice a year with good whitewash contain- I ig some crude carbolic acid. It is wise also t ) empty the boxes under the roost at least e nee a week. The above may seem like 'too uich work,' but it pays admirably, as I have s roved by experience." i ? c Don't Dog The Cows.?Every one who t as anything to do with a cow should learn loroughly this fact: that every annoyance ad thing that excites or frets her takes a }< roportion from both the amount and rich- ^ 5ss of her yield, and in just so much takes t oney from her owner's pocket. A man j ho will permit it to be done, much less, imself dog the cows home from the pasture r kick and club them about the barn or [ ards, is not a fit person to own or have | large of cows. It is not only cruel to the f; efenceless cow, but is ruinous to his own . nances, a reason that ought to appeal strong- 1 ' enough to his avarice to compel proper ? eatment of his property, if humanity will .

Cure for Galls.?A writer sends to the i lmira Farmers' Club the following cure t ir galls on the shoulders of draught ani- c ials which he says is the best he ever used : F issolve six drachms of iodine in half pint of Ichohol, and apply it 011 the sore with a j ather as soon as the collar is removed, and e hen "at rest, twice a day, morning and j rening.

He Hunts With Cats.?Charles Walcott, a well-known business gentleman of Indianapolis, and a splendid rifle shot, has two cats which retrieve small game better than the best trained dog. One is a tiger-striped, half Maltese cat, and the other is a cat of black, white and gray. Mr. Walcott also has a thoroughly trained retriever, and the cats and dog are inseparable companions. Whenever Mr. Walcott makes his appearance with his rifle the cats set up a series of yowls, and when the rifle is sighted, for instance at a sparrow, the cats will crouch in eager expectation, lashing their sides with their tails and carefully watching every movement of the fated bird. If the bird lodges among the branches in its fall, like a flash the cats spring up the tree, and they will take risks in reaching the limbs to which it clings. Mr. Walcott is very fond of household pets. The first-named cat came to him a stranger, and by that name she is known. The mother cat was accidentally taught to retrieve. While Mr. Walcott was in feeble health and confined to his premises he amused himself bv shooting sparrows, which were given to Stranger to eat. In this way she came to follow him whenever sho saw the gun. She will follow a wounded bird from tree to tree, and from house to house, sometimes for blocks away, and she seldom fails in retrieving. The other cat is one of her progeny, and he caught the retrieving contagion from her. Both are excellent hunters. Mr. Walcott is firmly of the belief that if cats arc properly trained they will make better retrievers than the finest dogs. Telling Secrets To Men.?It is the mistake of a lifetime to give a man any liberty which you would not want known and expect him to keep the matter secret, says Ella Wheeler Wilcox in The Ladies' Home Journal. The exceptional man will sometimes hide the indiscretion of a young girl whom he believes spoke or acted from ignorance; but the average man, in the highest the same as in the lowest walks of life, will boast of his successes with foolish women, and the redezvous, letter, embrace, or the souvenir which she has given him, thinking it will never be known to others than themselves, is shortly the matter of gossip among it dozen people. Women hide their secrets far better than men do. They fear the censure of the world too much to share their errors or indiscretions with confidantes. But men are almost invariably proud of their conquests, and relate their achievements with the fair sex to one or two admiring friends. They may not use names, but let the incidents once be told, it is un easy matter to discover tne personages if one is at all curious to do so. The only way to keep men from betraying our indiscretions is not to commit them. I once made these remarks in the presence of several ladies, and one of them replied, "that she was glad she had never been acquainted with the clags of men I knew." At the same time that lady's name had been used lightly in a club room not a week previous, and her indiscreet actions had been commented on by "the class of men" she did know. Two Kinds of Stomachs.?Generally speaking there are two kinds of stomachs? the acid and the bilious stomach. Everybody has one or the other, and each requires different food and care. Do fruits, acid foods and drinks make you feel bad, cause dyspepsia or colic pains nearly every time you cat them ? Then you have an acid stom ach, and it is well to avoid all foods that have an excess of acids in them. Your greatest remedy after a meal is bicarbonate of soda, carbonic water of vichy. Do fat meats, grease and other rich, fatty substances cause nausea, vomiting and sickness? Then you have a bilious stomach. Your greatest remedy is to avoid all fatty and greasy foods as much as possible, and eat fruit and foods containing plenty of acids. Acid drinks are the best medicines that you can take. These two kinds of stomachs are found on all sides, and as soon as one begins to know that he has a stomach he must ascertain which one he has. Then he can doctor himself easily. Occasionally one changes into the other in the course of years. The acid stomach, by the continuous use oi mts, ana avoidance of acids, becomes a bilious stomach, and vice versa. Then it is well to eat equally of both for a time.?Yankee Blade. Manners in Children.?If we desire children to be courteous we must treat them with respect, says Elizabeth Scovil, in The Ladies' Home Journal. They will infallibly copy our manners; so we must take care that they are the best. Let us be as careful of their feelings as we wish them to be of those of others. When it is necessary to administer reproof, let it be given in private. Many children are very sensitive on this point, and they feel acutely, although they cannot put their emotions iuto words. To tell a child in public that it has been rude, or lacking in good breeding, is as unwarrantable as it would be to tell a guest so. It is no excuse to say that we are trying to teach it to do better ; we can do this with greater effect if we take it aside at the first convenient moment and gently point out where the error was, and what should be done the next time. past &AKIN6 POWDER Absolutely Pure., A cream*of tartar baking powder.

It will be the aim of the management in future, as in the past, to publish a first-class, high-toned, reliable family newspaper?one suited to the wants of the intelligent and progressive people of York and surrounding counties. The paper will continue to present the same bandsome appearance that has always been one of its leading attractions. It is now the largest county newspaper in South Carolina that is printed entirely at home. THE ENQUIRER having intelligent, trustworthy and wide-awake special correspondents in York and adjoining counties, but little transpires in which the people generally are interested, that is not promptly made known through its columns. Besides this, it shall continue to be our aim to watch carefully after everything that is calculated to make known to the outside world the business advantages and natural resources possessed by York county?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and when we say York county, we do not mean any particular section of it, or any particular class or people: but THE WHOLE COUNTY AND ALL THE PEOPLE. w" ul.oll In oHHitimi In 1ru>n1 nffiiirs.

While the local and general news departments of the paper will be carefully looked after, all the features which have given THE ENQUIRER a distinctive character from the first day of its publication will be maintained. From time to time it will contain short stories and serial stories from the best writers; every week a column of fun and humor; carefully selected and seasonable articles intended for the benefit the farmer and housewife; articles for the young people, the object of which is to assist them in becoming good men and women and ornaments to society; besides articles, by the publication of which, it is hoped, the men, women and children who read THE ENQUIRER will be better, happier and wiser. To recapitulate: It is our aim to print a hightoned, clean, newsy family paper: one that is RELIABLE, and one whoso weekly visits will always be looked forward to with pleasure by its patrons.
