At the age of eighteen 1 was sent to Randolph Macon College, in Virginia. Atter spending a year aud a half in thft Tir*?imraforv denartment I enter ed college, and after passing through the regular course, graduated in 1837 "In the year 1833. when about the age of twenty years, 1 commenced attending lectures oti chemistry, and was forcibly struck with the powers of the galvanic battery, and its connection with electrical currents# In thinking over the matter I felt convinced that electricity could bo prac ticallv used in conveying intelligence between distant points on insolated wires. I announced this belief to my classmates and to illustrate my idea drew a diagram around the walls of my room, exhibiting a wire support ea uy giass urauNeb* uu ujjuum. 8ach as are now in use, with a batter} at each end and an independent dock work on which to receive messages. UI attempted frequently lo explain this to my comrade*, but was only laughed at for my pains. I was regarded aa a visionary, and my project as a dream. I contended "that ir would work and prophesied that iu the near future a man would be sitting in his chamber in New York conversing with his brother in New Orleans as familiarlv as if tbev were seated at his own fireside. Yea, more? that the President of the United States woald in the same manner converse with the Einporor of Russia in an instant of time. This of course was regarded by all as the extreme of fanaticism. Only one of my cla>s mates would listen to me with any degree of credulity and that was a young man from North Carolina In the name of Baxter Cligg, who afterwards became somewhat prominent as a Methodist preacher. "In after years a number of my schoolmates came out with voluntarv communications to different newspapers testifying to what I have above stated. Prominent among them was J. \V.

It was therefore proposed that the prominent officers of the army should unite in an effort to influence the soldiers to favor, so soon as the war ended and the question of reconstruction came up, the organization of a National Conservative party which should ignore all the Radical N aders named anil others of their class; which should also exclude the Northern Copper heads as a necessary condition to ?-oidiers* support; which should be made up of war Democrats and Southern politicians and officers, and provide prominent places for nil Northern officers who would join the movement. This proposition was receiving much attention at the various headquarters about Goldsboro when the news came <?f ttio tnrivMiftar of A number of leading officers favored it, and several were ioncd, upon sounding them, to be much opposed. It i> believed to have prompted the liberal >pirit with which Gei:. Sherman acted when making his terms with Gen. Johnston. The excitement at the North attending the assassination of President Lincoln, and the interpretation ,;Ut upon the Sherman terms by Secretary Stanton made ir impossible to pursue the plan further at that time. According to the same authority, later in the same year Montgomery Dlair and those working with him in ilie matter revived his scheme, ami agents were dispatched to various military headquarters to unfold ic. The break of President Johnson with his party was the result, and nt the Armin-Ann Convention in Philadelphia in Au<ru?t, i860, the new party was organized upon :he identical proposd tions originally seni clown to North Carolina f:>r army discussion.

Some years ago Kiehard Grant "White wrote a delightfully interesting book I on Atnericu4?i>tufe. lie might well j have divided the subject into two part>: Yank'-eism* and Southern isms. ; Absolute correctness in pronunciation, i or in the formation ot sentences, is a ! most difficult aceumpli.-htnent, and there he, either .North or South, who : have reached such a degree <>t perfection that no exceptions can be taken by j "carping critics" to their utterances. ] In the matter of pronunciation, the, time- are changing, and one can scarce-; iy ke?*p pac>; wmi the innovations being introduced bv the leading ortheopists. The purpose of this paper is, however, to piesent, in a succinct way, a few oi the qu;iintne>se8 of pronunciation and construction held to by the ru><irii#> u-i a Atnoils' 1 these the tit>t thrt comes to iniml i? the custom of omitting the last two loners in such words as * *inor?V' "tour,"'Store"? which are prouonuoed "mo," "lo," and "eto." "Wha;o'clock is it?" von ask the Carolinian, and ten to one he tells )ou it is "halfpus' lb'," if that happen to be the hour. Another common Southernisra is the use of "like as it," or "like" for the words "as if." "She looked like she knew me" is a commou expression, or "stw; looked like as if she'd die." This i is ver\ common in Washington, and i in all the States south of Mason and I T"*: i:..? JL7IAUI1 C UUU. The word "funny" is frequently used instead of strange, and sometimes with startling effects. A young Southern :iirl was visiting us once, aiid a caller was telliug of the death of her mother through swallowing a fi?h bone. "Oh! wasn't it funny?1 exclaimed our visitor at the close of the narrative. "i think you mean strange," said the caller, as soon as she recoverea from the astomsnient. Our girl friend has never used tnc word "tunny" since! If you happen to hear anybody say ilrye cheer" you may kuow it is jn tended to mean 'Tight here." For instance: A South Carolinian will say: "Where was he at last night?" and his fellow-citizen will say, "Lie staid rye cheer with me." Djear- pronounced in one syllable?is not a Rassian word as might be supposed; it uieaus "do you hear?" and is usually addressed to servants in this form: "You, Jim! Bring in that wood, djear?" "To get to go" is essentially a Georgia expression. They sav, "Do, don't tail to cone to-night," and the reply is, "I've tried to get to go three weeks, now, so I reckon I'll be there t'night." The expression "Do don't" is heard in Georgia and South Carolina, but rare* * S\ -f.t * L ly eisewcere. uiie ui iuu must iauguable things you ever heard is the peculiar pronunciation of the word "about." It. is impossible to express the South Carolinian's pronunciation, phonetically. It sounds like abaout? pronounced very quickly in three syllables* "Quare," for "queer/' is anoiher word. The use of "recfeou" for "presume" is said to have been derived from the Yankee?, as was the expression "right smart" for the word "much."

Ambiguity of expression is too prevalent in l>ixie, and too many people sacrifice sense for sound. Low-country people and the residents of middle S'?uth Carolina say "get-ardtn" fur "garden,' and "geeyard" tor "guaru"?with the hard sound of "g." 60, too, with such words as "card," "car" and "cart" into which is introduced the sound of "&ee," to take the place of the first consonant, ttiu?: "Jcee-ard," "&ee-?r," "kee-art The use of delightful for delicious, in such a sentence as: "The ice creatn is delightful," is very common. "Pretty" is a word very often mi>used, for instance: "isn't this a pretty day?? a;id this error is a very general one. North Carolinians say the scenerv is 'pretty"?meaning picturesque; the J day is "pretty"?meaning fine; and ! that a person's manners are "pretty" ?meaning well-bred. ! "You all" or, as it is abbreviated "y'aW," is one ot'the ;n >st ridiculou* j of all the SouthernUms I can call to mind. It u*uallv means two or more persons, but is sometimes used when only one person is meant. For instance a caller on irking her departure savs: "Y'ali must coine to see us." She ^eans the lady, upon whom she calling, and her husband may call. The Yankees have quite as many ridiculous figures of speech as those I have mentioned as peculiarly Southern and it will he reserved for another paper ro present the oddities ol Yankee conversation. In the meantime every true-hearted Southerner who reads these lines wilJ declare that he never u>ed any of these Sonthern'.sins, and will be jnst as honest in his belief 8s the ('harlestoiiiaii when he vows that he never says "rfiVa-wav" for "this way'* and 4*e???-a-way" for "that way." The Destruction of Birds. The American Ornithologist Union, having become alarmed at the wholerto^rviiefinrt of hirri* in this f.nnn trv, has appointed a bird protection committee, which has established its headquarters at Central Park, NewYork. This committee is instructed to gather bmlr^Lusrhtering' statistics, to spread^htfYigures br-iad-rast thr^u^h tin- lafKt, to form anti bird-wearinjr leagues amoncr women and to prevent the "pseudo-scientific" collection of birds and birds' eggs. This committee roes to {rreat lengths, but the public wiil forgive a. little superfluons ardor il the c?riiitbolo?fi^ti? ot' this country can bv moral suasion, injrenons device or statute law scare off the stuffed birds that roost upon the women's bonnets.

AN APPEAL T!) COTTON PLAN' lERS. ; Some Action Necessary for Protection Against Northern Speculators. , The Inter-State Agricultural Con ifhieh vras ill ioli laSi" | week in Jack*on, Tenn., urge the { necessity of a unity of action oil the i part of the fanneis against Northern j speculators. The following resoluj tions looking toward that end were I ad ?p;ed bv tl:e Convention, and asked ! to be .given publicity by the press of the country * The manipulation by speculators of the cotton crop of 1885-86, which so } depressed prices that they havf fallen | below tne actual cost of production, j forces upon the planters of the South | the necessity 01 rtueviug iucm>ej*ca, I as far us 2:1 their power lies, from the I influence of so ruinous a system as | that which now controls the chief | exportable product of the country, j and with this end in view the rcpiej sentauves of the agricultural interests i of Tennessee, in convention assembled, j call upon our brother planters of all i the Southern States to protect themselves by united action. Emboldened ! by pa.?t successes, the speculator has j fivod thf? standard urice for the cotton i crop of 1886-87. This, he has done before ihe seed has been put in the ground, or even the ploaghs have been started. Cotton futures for the months of October, November ano December, 188G, and January, 1887, are to-day qnot?*d in New York at lrom 8.70 to 8.75, acenrdi:iif to months. This means nor exceeding 85 cents for middling cotton in .New York, or 8J cents at the principal shipping ports of the South, including such ciiies as New Orleans, (Jharle>ton, Savannah, Ausiu-aa, Moi M I U11L*, lXUlVC>LUil till'l iUbui|/iu?. j dling cotton at these cities selling for j 8J cents n^ans not more than 7$ cents to the plainer, who must pay treighl, insurance and regular commission i-harges, whh-h generally average from 3 to 1 copper pound. Now>iiv-~?farwJ of these co.uditjojis,--so-WMfious to oar interest we appeal to the intelligent cotton-grower, and ask him can he pay the expense of fanning and make even a bare living by selling cotton at ~ih. cents per pound"? The next question following upon this is: What is j tin* remedy? We answer: uiversii d'.-d crops; plant cue-third iess cotton and more grain and grasses, raise hogs and hominy, let cotton be the surplus crop, instead of producing six and a! halt' million bales make only four and a half million bales. By this means we may realize a large price for uur labor, and at the same time live inde I penitently of speculating sharks wno I profit by your joshes. In addition to ihi", the Legislatures of cacli of the Southern States should be petitioned to make dealings for fniure delivery, uniess cotton i> actually on hand to >ell and is actually defivered lo the contracting purchaser, a felony punishable b\ line anil imprisonment, not les< than one thousand dollars and two years in the penitentiary. The time if no w propitious for united action, and we anneal to the orc-s of the S >uth to aid u- in our efforts by jriving every publicity to this pro'est, an appeal which we feel cannot but result beneficially if prompt in action and lived up to honestly. ? hat throat is the best for a singer to teach high notes with? a soar throat. 11' it becomes too sore, use Taylor's Cherokee Keniedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein, which cures hoarseness and a husky voice.* f A STATEXfTRNT ? ? _l I OF FACTS FOR THE PUBLIC TO CONSIDER. i | Atlanta, Ga., Januery 12,1885. ! Einfirfiiii? from n. severe anrl Iop.i?sne!I of typhoid fever, I discovered that the j fever had settled in my right leg; which caused it to swell to an enormous sii.e, remaining so quite three years, resisting all treatment. A small ulcer finally made its appearance a little above the ankle which refused to heal to any and all externa! application and the use of the most | noted bl od poison remedies. The ulcer continued to enlarge, frequently discharging, perhaps, as much as a cupful of pus or matter per day The size of the ulcer was about two inches in diameter, extending to a depth near the bone. At one time it appeared that the flesh in all contiguous parts, would surely become a running sore, <ts its peculiarly flabby, spotted and unhealthy condition clearfy indicated, and it was intimated i that i might lose my ieg. My condition I becoming so critical, and the uieer enlarging so rapidly, we sent 1'or l>r.
