At the beginning of tbe Civil War >Blween tbe males be was among tbe first to mist as privHte In tbe company of Capt. J. VI. Perrlu which was on duty about ine Coast n Charleston unill May, 18t?l. When he came tome he organized company G. of Orr's Klfies if which he was captain when the regiment van mustered Into service at Handy (Springs in luly, ltMil. On December 13tb, 1862. be was irumoted to tbe rank of Major, lu May, i863, le was promoted to Lieutenant Coionet, >nd in January, 18(51 be was promoted to tbe an k or Colonel. His promotion was lu tbe ine of service, each officer above blm being niled. except Colonel Orr. This was one of ruest and best regiments in tbe service of tbe ;onfederacy and colonel G. MvDuffle Miller pas honored by being the brave, gallant and earless commander of the same. He was as rue as Bleel, always at his post and ready for luty, the same as a private as when in comuand of the regiment. He waB engaged In hirteen battles, besides many skirmishes pas wounded four times, twice In one battle, pbich wounds were severe and extremely >alnful, being tbe knee and heel.

At tbe time of bis eatb be was commander of Camp J. Foster larsbail U. C.

Lt. tbe meeting last August he resigned tblB iflloe, but was oompllmented by being inanimously re-elected, as bis old comrades >ostlvely reiuited, and would not accept bis eslgnation. At this annual meeting Colonel iliier delivered tbe opeolnlng address of rblcb Colonel J. P. Thomas ol tbe Columbia itate In writing up the reunion says: "Tbe master of ceremonies and the presldDg officer ot the meeting was that gallant k>ionel of Orr's Rifles, "last but not least" (i. IcD.

Tbls was Indeed blgb praise from a brave nd bonored comrade, and rlcbly deserved. Lis address to bis old comrades on tbls occaloo was said to be not only eloquent, but oucblng and patbellc. In summing up tbe eventful life of our steemed friend and comrade we can truthally say be was a prominent and useful ltlzen, a valaint and brave soldier, a faithful rlend, a christian gentleman, a devoted husand,a loving and indulgent parent. His ourlal took place Friday afternoon at ve o'clock at the grave In the Presbyterian ,'emetery of Ninety Six. Funeral services fere conducted by Rev David Black well, of be Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. trabham of the Methodist church, Rev. lurtls Chaplain of Camp J. Foster Marshall.

An important point in setting out lauts is to firm the soil well about tbe ilant after setting it in tbe ground, 'bis can be best done with tne feet, ramping tbe soil gently immediately bout tbe base and against tbe stalk of he plant. This serves to keep tbe ilant in position, so that it will not be shipped about by the wind, and preents the air from getting at the roots. U tbe plants are knocked out of tne tots dip the ball of soil surrounding be roots in water, and pour a little nto tbe hole into which the plant is o be set. Fill the soil in about the >lant, and compress it as suggested ,bove, and if no water is applied for a eeek the plant will not suffer. By he former method only the surface of he soli is wet, and the roots of the >lant remain dry.

XoleH by h Horsr, Traunlntcil by Harry When a man drops from sheer ex! haustion or illness, promptly seize an ! end board or a cart stake and pound him on Hie neaa ana on me hub. ji this does not recuperate him, kick him violently in the belly. This treatment will restore him, if per1 sisteutly administered. If a man finds his load too heavy and feels that it will seriously strain him to proceed, kick off a fence board and knock him down?and hammei him thoroughly with the board This will give renewed energy, and he will make no more fu83. But dr in-vf- nn on? aduniint rediicp liia lnnfl 'That would look too much like common sense, or humanity, and he will he likely to balk again when overloaded. If a man refuses to drink when yoi offer him water, don't give him any water for two days. That will "teach him" to be thirsty at any time you find it convenient to attend to him. It is a good plan to apply the whip frequently ou a mam who is at work, No matter if be is doing his best, hil him now and then on "general principles" and to prevent him taking auy comfort. If bis load is not heavy, oblige him to go enough faster tc make up for it. Work him hard enough to bring down the averagt life of man one half, as is done with horses. If no whip is handy, use a club. Tie your man's head back in an unnatural position, with his eyes up towards the sun. This will give him a "fine appearance aud prevent stumbling." Of course he will not be ablt to do as much, word in this fix, bul it makes him wretched, so it is all right. In winter remove his clothing tc "prevent him taking cold." He will also dry quicker, when you overwork him. You must hang a blanket on his back?but leave his neck and limbs exposed?when he is not at work. Men thus treated are "much healthier" than when allowed wintei clothing. If not perfectly convenient to feed a man, who is working for you, at nnrtn lAf. him on without. and. bv active use of tbe whip, secure as much work as the food would have secured, Of course it wears out his vitality aud 'distresses him but that is no matter. Put tight shoes on your man and keep them there until he is very lame with corns. To change his shoes often costs money, not much, but some, and lameness and misery are of no account if you can save a dollar's worth ol shoes in a year. When you hire a man do not be hampered by any humane notions. Get all you can out of him. True nobility consists in getting money, not decency, or kindness, or what ji? ? ii Burnt) uuuuiks lcilu cuaiauici. uci money all blood stained. These are correct principles, I am sure, for I learned them when a colt from my master who treated all his horses on this plan? and don't he know what's what? Hist With His Own Petard. It was at a Republican church, a good many years ago, at a Saturday meeting, a motion was offered by a brother who was himself rarely ever on time for preaching, that 11 a. m. be the hour for service on Saturday, and that our pastor be requested to begin i-ervice at that hour, regardless of the number of persons present. This motion was unanimously adopted. I bad shortly before taken charge of the churcb, and as the people were very slow iiHuallv about ftominc to meetimr. I rejoiced at the adoption of the resolution. At the next time of meeting, I was at the church fifteen minutes before eleven o'clock ; but no one else had come. Five minutes" before eleven, I saw old Bro. Corley, the sexton, coming. He opened the doors aud windows. At eleven promptly, he and I began service. I gave out a hymn ; but neither of us could sing; so 1 proceeded to read the Scriptures, then had prayer and the reading of another hymn, but no singing. I took my text?one upon which I had been hard at work during the week? "To you who believe he is precious." I preached to Bro. Corley as earnestly as possible, aud he listened closely. When I was about half through my sermon, two other brethren came in and took seats almost halfway back to the rear end of the church. I finished, and pronounced the benediction, and went out of the house; but did not leave immediately. After awhile, others began to come in, and then the author of the motion appeared, and at length a goodly number had arrived. Still we lingered around the door. Presently the brethren began to look at and snap their watches. Some one asked if it was not time to begin service. The answer was made thai servicd for the day was over, and then they remembered the resolution of the last conference. They insisted that ] preach again: but I told them ] would not preach again until nexl day. At the next meeting, when I arrived at the church, fifteen minutes before time, a large crowd awaited me, W ery large : opportui ly for the e the ss and increa 3 closest atter 1 m ys, ana buyei st Ba: Why Cbrldt In ChIIhI the Lamb. The institution of the Passover and other sacrifices among the Jews will answer the question. "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us." (1 Cor. i v. 7.) A lamb is an innocent animal; C Christ is immaculate in character.' The paschal lamb was free from spot J and blemish ; Christ from siD. The lamb is defenseless; Christ made no resistance to his enemies. fPU a fnrvtk ici slurwVt ohaoi*. p x lie iauju 10 uuuju uciuic uui oucui, res; Cbri*t opened not his mouth to [ save his life. The lamb sbed its blood in the eacrifice ; Cbrist shed bis on the cross, i The lamb's blood was sprinkled on > the doorposts; Christ's must be applied to the heart, hence called "the ! blood of sprinkling." (Heb. xii. 24.) [ The lamb's blood saved every family . where it was sprinkled from the destroying angel; Chirst'u blood saves i from sin every soul who will accept r it. j The offerer confessed his iniquities i over the head of the lamb, and thus tvpicallv transferred his sin and guilt , to'the victim; so God laid upon hie Son the iniquity of us all. > The lamb was then slain ; so Christ died for the sin of the world. r The difference between the sacrifl| cial lamb and Christ as the lamb of God is that the death of the one took I away sin ceremonially, without really t touching and cleansing the heart, while the death of the olber really and absolutely cleanses from Bin all who will accept it. Further, the animal sacrifice was repeated daily, thus showing that it could not take sin ; "but this Man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, . . for t by one offering he hath perfected for[ ever them that are sanctified." (Heb. x. 12.) > ,., r I Treatment of Cows. I Many owners of cows in this city have them driven to pastare in the [ suburbs by men and boys engaged in . that business. It would be the part oi wisdom for such owners to caution [ the drivers against throwing rocks at . the cows, chasing them with dogs, or ' otherwise exciting and frightening them, and at some convenient time to watch the process of driving to or I from pasture. , A good cow is a valuable possession, and worthy of the best treatment. Harassing ana terrifying a cow will great, iy injury the yield of milk, both in quantity and quality. A bulletin issued from the experiment station in connection with the Kansas Agricul: tural college, contains the following on this subject: , "Kindness is an efficient aid in increasing milk yield and costs noth) ing. The more a milker can make the cow love him as she loves her calf, the more milk she will yield to him. Investigations show that iB probably | that a considerable portion of the milk is secreted during the operation of milking, especially the rich milk which comes last. Abuse and excite1 meat reduce the secretion and not oDly lower the quantity of milk given, but often lower the percentage of butter fat. Kindness and petting make the cow contented and put her nervous system in such a condition that the fullest yield is given. This is not the only cause, but It is probably a chief cause, of the wide varilation in butter fat sometimes shown in creamery ' tests. Hurrying cows, runniug them with dogs, beating tbem or speaking roughly to them will reduce the yield of milk and per cent of butter fat. A change of milkers will often lower the per cent of butter fat until the cow becomes fond of the new milker. Contact With Uod. Christianity reveals the possibility of actual personal contact of man with God; contact, not for conflict, but contact for support. It shows us to be in intimate relation with God. It does not reveal him to us as one watches over us for opportunities for wrath; and then comes upon .us malignantly to punish us because we have offendnH him thlu 4a larnraltr fha (Vinfipntinn of human religions. It is with them not so much for wrongdoing that men are punished as it is for having displeased him whom they call God. Christianity teaches us of God who is displeased when we do wrong ; not because the wrong hurts him, but because it hurts us. It reveals God as omnipotent and as one who, in his omnipotency, comes to man and takes his place at bis side and helps bim over the difficult places in life. One who, if a man fall on his journey, instead of putting his foot upon him to 1 grind him to powder, reaches down 1 his mighty hand, and in loving tenderness helps up the fallen one. It reveals a God who, instead of laugh ing at man in his sorrow, sheds with 1 him tears of sympathy. A God who is so long-suffering and so patient, > that when a man's father and mother i forsake him he will take him up. | Such a being meets a great numan need. \ The value of a man's faith is measi ured, not by the number of things he believes, but by the intensity with which be believes them. 7If and satis i i i - nty to tn ir kind an Sum, sed vigor, an( Ltion to busiiH 's may alwayi ncpQinc!

Of course, this is a free country and parents have the right to inflict upon their innocent and helpless babes almost any ontrageous name that may nn/mr fn Hioir msitHlln minHa Thtiu we have the crop of Babys, Snowdrops, Katydids, Birdies.

Tbe names are silly enough even when the girls are youner, pretty, rosy and innocent; but imagine Birdie with an overflowing waist, a family of teu or twelve, down at the heel and slightly bald! O, think of Baby, long, lean, gray haired, acid, wearing a distinct beard and sporting a wart at the end of her nose.

Down South in slave times there were inconsiderate masters who, imagining themselves witty and face1 tious would have black children named Zenobia, Ariadne, Solomon, Aelisarius, Juno, Venus, Cleopatra, Jupiter, Cynthia, Thisbe and so on. It was a sorry just, but there was the redeeming feature that the victims did not feel the sarcasm and that the "quarter" soon modified the monstrosities into Jupe,?Belly, Sinthy, Sol, Patty, etc., which in time underwent futher and more civilized amendments. But this maudlin nonsense to 1 which our correspondent refers so i aptly constitutes a real iDjury and should be visited with organized rebuke and opposition. Parents have no right, morally speaking, at least, to bring children into the world ana afflict them with names which will afterwards make them wish they had never been born. Flirtation Brlngeth a Snare. > Edgefield Chronicle. Nearly every girl who is flirted with, and especially those who so far forget self-respect as to flirt, come out with injured characters. They are talked about by the young men, who lose respect for them and who do not care to have as wives such girls. They are looked upon and classed as "fast." Flirtation is silly, seuBelees, and lowers a girl in the estimation of mankind. Love brought about by flirtation seldom kills, or causes a girl of her own choice to remain single. From the writer's standpoint, remaining single is often caused from the fact that no man has confidence in a girl who has once flirted, sufficient to induce him to marry her, and the man cannot be blamed for his want of confidence and respect. That girl may marry, but she will have to marry where she is not known. There is no precaution that will hide flirting. The man flirted with in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred will tell it from nure disgust after he finds It out and will tell all the liberties that was allowed with additions.
