luraorous Jlfpartwrnt. Settled Out of Court.?Here is a story of a railroad claim agent?a gentleman who goes about the country settling with farmers who have bad horses and cows killed by the cars. A farmer who lives near Junction City bad a horse killed by a freight train. The affair was reported to the company, and the company sent the gentleman aforesaid out to see what sort of a settlement he could effect with the owner of the animal. The farmer wanted something like $40 for his property, and the agent only wanted to allow him $22.50. They wrangled for quite awhile until bad blood was aroused, and hard words began to pass between the agent and the farmer. One word brought on another, the lie was passed, and open hostilities commenced. The warring men clinched and went down. Now, so it happened that the agent was much the larger man of the two, and be got the farmer between him and mother earth and held him secure. After be had pounded the fallen foe until he had gotten satisfaction for all personal insults, he let up for a moment, and asked : "Now, you old fool, will you take $22.50 for the claim ?" "I guess so," doggedly replied the farmer, after considerable squirming and hesitation. "All right," said the agent, "I will pay you right away. It's-much better to settle these things out of court. You save all the costs, and nobody gets mad." No Sham About Her.?At the Isles of Shoals they tell the tale that a lecturer went thither to lecture to the assembled guests upon the character and characteristics of the Japanese, and in the course of his remarks he dwelt upon the two facts that the self-contained people do not use expletives, profanity being unknown in tbeir land, and that equally are tbey ignorant of the goodly fashing of kissing. These statements had their due effect upon the audience, it being observed that the masculine portion of the hearers were the more impressed by the former statement, and the feminine portion by the latter. As the audience was dispersing, with all the chatter of comment, gossip and banter which belongs to such a gathering, one young woman was overheard confiding to another her sentiments in a phrase which was at once most human, expressive and picturesque. "As for me," she said, "give me a country where they kiss and cuss." "It was felt that on the whole she might be regarded as having pretty well sized up the situation. Pat Got Even.?An Irish witness was being examined as to bis knowledge of a shooting affair. "Did you see the shot fired ?" the . magistrate asked. "No, sorr, I only heard it," was the evasive reply. "That evidence is no satisfactory," replied the magistrate, sternly. "Stand down !" The witness turned round to leave ' *- J2?

The magistrate, indignant at this contempt of court, called him back, and asked him how he dared to laugh in court, "Did ye see me laugh, your honor?" queried the offender. "No, sir, but I heard you," was the irate reply. "That evidence is not satisfactory," said Pat, quietly, but with a twinkle in his eye. And this time everybody laughed except the magistrate. Applying at Headquarters.? "I beg your pardon," said the passenger in the skull-cap, leaning over and speaking to the young man on the seat immediately in front of bim, "but are you not just returning from college?"

A POINT OP HONOR AN ODD WESTERN SKETCH. There was a commotion in Scratch Gravel on the morning of June 23d, 1875. Jack Langworthy, a local celebrity, had killed a tenderfoot, and there was naturally some curiosity, not to say-excitement, over the affair. The circusmtances of the case were these: Jack and the tenderfoot were having a little game of cards, when the former noticed a slight deception on the partof his adversary in the way of dealing himself from one to four cards too many, and concealing them in his coatsleeve. s . "Sich proceedings are entirely foreign to the customs of this camp," finally remarked Langworthy ; and at the same time sent a pistol-shot into the tenderfoot. The ball passed diag onally through the head from the base of his left ear, and, ranging downward, made a final entrance into the side of whisky-Barrel, which stood in one corner of the room. "You'll lose some of yer whisky if you don't regulate the hole I've just made in that 'ere barrel," quietly remarked Jack to the proprietor of the place, adding, parenthetically, "and it's good liquor, too." As for the tenderfoot?well, he was dead. The rude law of Scotch Gravel took cognizance of the fact, and also of the 1 manner of his death, and Jack was arrested. A few weeks later he was arraigned fof the murder, and pleaded guilty. The judge sentenced him to be hanged. Then Jack made a speech. 1 Among other things, he said : "I killed the man, I know, and perhaps it's fair enough that I should die, too. L'eastwise, I don't set up my judgment ag'in' that of the court. The laws of Scratch Gravel should be enforced, but just now I'm sort o' sorry the inforcement is necessary. The deal is a hard one, and the worst of it all is that the roughness is not ag'in' me alone?oh, no, not ag'in' me, but Sally and the twins. I don't care fer myself?just as soon go as not? but when I think of the twins I think, I thiuk, by mighty 1 I'll have to tell you I can't stand it. You see, the twins are boys?both boys?and they are a fine pair an' no mistake. I allers reckoned on the twins 'mounting to something in the world, but if their father is to be hangad?that settles it. What Would the twins ever amount to then ? Now. if I could ko some other way it wouldn't look so bad?but to be strung up like a common tbief, it would be a weight on tbem 'ere twins that 'ud keep 'em down forever. So you see it ain't fer myself that I care?not fer me, and not fer Sally so much, either, although i I do kinder like the old gal?but the twins. Well, it breaks me all up to think of leaving 'em, it does fer a certain fact. Jedge, when will the i performance take place ?" The unfortunate was informed that I the 10th of July was the date fixed for Ibis execution, and that he should make preparations to be on hand at that time punctually, so as not to delay the . proceedings. "You see, Jack," said the judge, familiarly, "we ain't goin' to be mean enough to lock you up, not you?it wouldn't be right?not with an honorable man like you. It ain't fer any dislike fer you or bad feeling that we're going to hang you, Jack, but it's the law, you know, the law. So you'll make it a point of honor, Jack, to be on hand when the time comes." For the next week Jack stayed at I horns nearly all the time. Occasionally some of his friends would drop in to ask about his health and the health of the twins. The slightest mention of , the latter would set his tongue in motion, and somehow he seemed to think 1 there were no other children in the ^ world worth talking about. "They'll pull way ahead of their old dad in a few years," he had often said. "Maybe one of 'em '11 be an I auctioneer or a bank president, and I the other a steamboat captain?who knows? Them twins are smart." It was the month of June. Wonderfully bright the sun shone, wonder- \ fully sweet the birds sang, wonderful- ' ly gray and bare and cold were the distant mountains. It seemed to Jack < that all creation was smiling over his ^ misfortune, and mocking him for a < coward who was afraid to die. One evening, just a week prior to . the date fixed for bis execution, he seated himself on a boulder near his cabin door and took the twins in his arms. The little fellows climbed all . over him. One of them put his brown [ arm around the paternal neck and I pulled the grizzly hair and beard with j his chubby fingers. Then looking into I the upturned face, he said sorrowfully : j "Ther's water in your eyes, daddy, i What's the matter ? * TunV rviif iho nhiM (tntvn rnt.hflr - %J ClV/rk. puv iUV VUIIV4 MW TT H roughly, and remarking, as he brush* j ed his eyes, that the "skeeters war I mighty troublesome on that evening," { He walked into the house. The 10th of July arrived. Tn the { morning, quite early, Bill Drakt an I old-time friend of Jack's, came to wee j him. 1 "Seems like thar ought to be some way to get out of this," remarked Bill. * "I'd just as soon go," said Jack, c half apologetically, "ef it wasn't fer r the twins. You see, I've sort o' bank- ? ed on them twins fer a long while. J I reckon thar'll be a good turn out at j the gallus, Bill." "You would't slip away, would you, Jack ?" whispered Bill, with a strange . light in his eyes. Jack reached for his revolver. "I don't want to shoot you, Bill," he said, fiercely, "but I'll do it, sure, ^ if ye repeat that insult. Thought ye t knew better than that. I'm asbame of ye." "But you don't understand me! exclaimed Bill, excitedly. "Listen The jedge sentenced ye to be bangei the 10th of July, but he forgot to nam the year! The 10th of July ten yeai from now will do, or longer. He onl said the 10th of July J" "But he meant today," said Jacli trembling in every limb. "But he didn't say it. You may su: your own convenience about the yeai Jack. For your own sake, and for th sake of the twins, skip.'' 'There was much disappointmec that afternoon among the citizens ( Scratch Gravel when it was discovei ed that Jack was gone. A search wa made of bis cabin, but there were n signs of Sally, Jack, or the twim They were all gone for good. And now comes the strangest pai of this story. The 10th of July fiv years later a gray old man, bent nearl double, thrust his shadowy form int the presence of the chief magistral of Scratch Gravel, and demanded hearing. "I am Jack Langworthy," he saic "and I have come back according t promise to be hanged. You see th twins are dead?both dead, and Sally she's gone, too?run away with at other man, and now I've come back t meet the requirements of law. Ther has been some delay, I'll admit, bu I was bound to come back some time and here I am." The laws and customs of Scratcl Gravel bad changed somewhat sine Jack departed from the place fiv years before, and as the affair in whici he was interested was no longer sensation of the day, he was simp], told to leave the town as soon a possible. He weut at once, and tb last seen of him alive he was tramp ing slowly out of town with bis fac towards the setting sun. John R. McLean's Great Newspaper.

When asked for the secret of sucl success, Mr. McLean frankly answers The Enquirer has no opinions to forci upon its patrons, it simply prints thi facts and tells the truth that the reade: may form his own opinions. Bj maintaining the price of the paper more news and greater variety can b< furnished, and every class ,of busines: interests catered to, which a cheape journal cannot afford.

READ CAREFULLY AND e BETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF MARCH, It is usual for the people of this ? section to select their reading matter for the following year. Being one of the cleanest, most enterprising and reliable newspapers in the state. It Is natural, therefore, that THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be one of the most popular. Ninety per cent, of the families in the county desire It as a regular visitor to their homes, and all those who can afford It, may reasonably be looked upon 2 as probable subscribers. One of the most serious drawbacks, probably, is the lnconven2 ience of writing letters, sending money and , attending to the matter of subscribing at the J proper time. It Is this fact that makes it especially desirable for us, Just at this time, to ) secure the services of a large number of Intelligent and energetic assistants, and.to make It 1 worth their while to give the matter their attention, we are making the liberal offers ' which we will presently explain. ? The price of a single subscription one year ' is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual 4 who does not give his name to a clubmaker; J but sends it direct to this office. In clubs t however, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR 1 AND SEVENTY-FIVE CtfNTS. That Is the price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker, and the price which, under all circumstances, 1 he Is expected to pay us. Now to our propositions : c THREE BIG PREMIUMS. This year we offer three big premiums. One I is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY. f Another is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR OR1 GAN. and the third is a FIFTY DOLLAR , WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker J who gets up the largest list of subscribers, new r and old. The.Wagon will go to the clubmaker who gets up the second largest list, new and t old; and the Organ will go to the clubmaker whoso total list shall show up the largest l number of NEW NAMES. The organ contest, however, will be separate and distinct Irom the other contest, in that the winner of this premium will still have the right to count his 1 entire club. Including both old and new names, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon. ; To be more explicit. It is possible that the clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be 2 the winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy. It is also possible that the Organ may be won 2 with less than 20 names, together with one of the smaller premiums. 'r FULL PREMIUM LIST. But this is not all. In addition to the pre> mlums offered for the LARGEST AND8ECa OND LARGEST CLUBS, and the largest club - of NEW SUBSCRIBERS, we also offer other 5 valuable premiums for a given number of subscribers. This, it will be seen, ensures that the r clubmaker who starts out for one of the larger clubs and falls short, will not fall to be paid for his time and trouble. Here is the list in full, followed by the conditions below: I $75.00 BUGGY. To the clubmaker who returns the largest t number of names, will be awarded the BEST BUGGY manufactured by the Carolina Bug gy Company of Yorkville, S. C., for 875.00.
