Last evening I was talking to a man of years and wisdom, who accumulated a fortune from hie business experience ; a man whose name is at the head of one of the greatest commercial houses in New York, and, having these editorial cnaments in mind, I said to him : "To what trait in a boy's char acter, which will be of most value to tim in after life, do you believe a mother should pay the most at tention?" "Honesty, first," said this mil lionaire merchant; "then, thoroug nessi" And the more one thinks of this simple statement, the more fraught with wisdom will it be found. The great value pf thoroughness is understood and appreciated by just about one or two young men out of every ten in business life to-day. The tendency with the average young man is to "rush" things, to get a thing through, no matter how it is done. It is the end he seeks, forgetting that -some people are apt to examine into the means by which some ends are attained. It is not ai all surprising to me why some young men do not suc cead in business when I see the methods they adopt to attain suc cess. They want to succeed, but they do not want to do the work necessary for success. They want large Malarios, good positions, but short hours and little to do, and even that little they will not do well. If there-are two Americanisms that have wrought more evil than .any other, I think it ie the one- of. "Oh, it is good enough !" and the other of "It will do," when a thing is about half or three-quarters done.-Ladies' Home Journal. Sam Jones-Is ms.

He planted 8 acres with Ihe Bahama seed. This is a large boll, early variety. He made 11,491 pounds of seed cotton. The weight of lint was 4,022 pounds. That wasaj^j-wun.oV baletpj?>e?nr?r"TT?ere were about -??tTpounds of the top crop to gather when his report-was made. He used 5 sacks of the Basin Com pany guano, 2 sacks of Granby acid phosphate and 250 bushels of cot ton seed. He put in the cottonseed with about half a saek of guano and beded on it. He ran in the balance of the commericial fertili zer with the seed when he planted. He cultivated rapidly,:, going over his cotton every week if possible. Putting the cotton seed at 15 cents a bushel the cost of the manure per acre was $6;72, Mr.'Wingo had a tenant, who is a good farmer, that used 23 sacks of guano on 23 acres of land that was in a fair condition. He worked his crop reasonably well and made only niue bales, one bale more than Mr. Wingo made on eight acres. The tenant's fertilizer cost him $2.91 an acre. If he had put the 23 sacks on ll acre and put a little work in the way of prepartion and cultivation, we believe he would have made as much as he gathered from tho 23 acres.-Spartanburg Herald.

Lamar, came to his death by wounds in the head from a stick in the hands of Chief of Police Gaston and from a pistol shot in the left side, fired by Mayor R. A. Chafee..^ ^ ^jQnr-Taesaaymorning the fol lowing additional testimony was taken by the Coroner. John Blaylock, sworn, says : I j was standing at my door there when Lamar drovu up in front ; he asked a boy to hold his horse, and he got out and come and spoke to me and shook my hand ; he says to me: "I owe you a little ac count, and I have come here to- j night to settle it;" he says: "Come in and let mo have a drink; says: "I have a little business with D. S. Henderson ; I will get some money from him ; I owe one or two other little debts that I want to pay up, as I am going te leave Aiken" I went behind , the the counter- and waited on him gave him a bottle of whisky and soda and he poured out his drink, and was drinking when Chafee and Gaston stepped up to him at the counter,and Chafee said to him : UI will have to arrest you and lock you up." Before speaking to Lamar however, Chafee told me I had no right to sell Lamar a drink, and told me not to sell any more ; Lamar's answer to Chafee was : "I have not done anything to be arrested for ; I simply came here on business with D. S. Hendereon ; I am going to get some money,pay j up my debts,and leave town." Cha fee replied : ''I am going to lock you up." He 6ays: "No; 1 want to see Henderson, and I promise you I will leave town." Chafee : says : "No ; 1 am going to lock you up." Lamar says ; "I have not done any thing and I am not going to be locked. They then backed against the wall, and Chafee ran his hand behind Lamar to see if he had a pistol about him. They started out the door, and in a minute or two after they cleared the door in th dark I heard a pistol shoot. At that time I went to the door. an d aroui.d the corner, and I saw the flash of another pistol, I jumped back, as I didn't want -to get hit. After first shot Chafee came in and passed me and went back as far as the cooler. At the second fire I dodgedback, and seeing that La mar did not come in I looked again, and heard another snot: Then I heard one or two licks. La mar fell in front o? the door. When he did Chafee goes to the door and shoots him, and turns around and says: "He is dead." As. he made this remark he was walking back in the store, and I went for ward and looked, and said: "Yes, boys; he is dead." I went im mediately after Mr. Ch?fee spoke. While I was standing there Chafee pame io the door and says : "I am shot." He left then, and c?^i saw him any more. I do not know where Mr. Chafee got his pistol, but he did not get it in this tar; This is all I Tsnow about it. J. M.

Lamar the hero of Seccesson ville He was born and reared iu Beech Island and was about forty-four years old He was a man of great energy and possessed fine business qualities. He did as much to develop the kaolin industry in Aikeu County as any man living. He was well known in and ont of this County and had a great many fronds. Hil greatest curse|was the liquor habit, and when under its baneful in fluence he was wild and recklese, and at times overbearing, but during his sober moments he was gentle and gentlemanly. As a hus band, he was tender and affec- j tionate; as a father loving and kind as a friend tru e and stanch.

In his "problems of Health," Dr. Greene says that there is not the remotest corner or little inlet of the minute blood-vessels of the human body that does not feel some wavelet from the convulsions occasioned by good hearty laughter The life-principle of the central; man is shaken to the innermost depths, sending new tides of life and strength to the surface, thus materially tending to insure good health to the persons who indulge therein. The blood moves more rapidly and conveys a different impression to all the organs of the body, as it visits them on the particular mystic journey when man is laughing, from what it does at other times. For this reason every good hearty laugh in which a person indulges tends to lengthen his life conveying, as it does, a new and distinct stimulus to the vital forces. ? T.WAS NOT A GHOST. --- ' He Wa? Not Dead Though Pro nounced So By a Physician. ^^ Y?uKjl?dc. 15.-The Her ald says Thomas Hyland, an in mate of the Kings county hospital in- ^latbush, had a thrilling ex perience recently, which resulted irj spreading the report that the county buildings were haunted. Hyland, who is about fifty years olid, had been in the hospital about six/months, suffering from rheu ' ism and heart trouble. ilt has been, the custom of ySung'physicians from the tong Island college hospital, to give three days' service each week at ttjie Flatbush hospital. jOne of the young physicians, whose name Dr. Duryea, the med ical, superintendant, refused to cbvulgOr wascalled about, midnight ^ look at Hyland, who Richard ?furner, the attending nurse of | ward 5, thought was dead. # After investigating the case the cjoctor pronounced the- man dead, tod Tierney and Joseph Dobbs, pother nurse, were ordered to re move-the body to the morgue, which is in the rear of the hospital.-j #|pqbb8 and Tierney were Burn-! moned at two o'clock to remove! pother corpse. When thejr ar ^ed at the morgue and opened ih?'door they were terrified by the OT?den apparition of. Hyland gapped in a blanket. .He boltedj hy,?thera and ran toward the hos pital. The nurses dropped ;the ?ourden they were carrying, and springing "over the/ fence took to the road, ruining, in opposite directions. Tierney ran toward ifciast New York while Dobbs made fdr tue city. 1 -Hyland, in the meantime, who was not. at all dead, rushed to ' his cot in ward 5, and hiding himself in the blankets, slept peacefully until morning. At daylight an other comm?ti?n-t?ofc place when the patients, who are, nearly ,all Ripples, in that wardj woke and] jfew Hyland in that cot. They OTwidly dressed themselyes^pick !ew?p; x-h?ir ?rutches^udcaiiesiijd hobbled to Dr.' Duryea's office, where they demanded their certifi cates of discharge. The doctor, who was amazed at the action of | the cripples, asked for an explana tion. He was told by them that | they wanted to go home, as the place was haunted. They could prove it, they asserted, for Hyland's ghoBl was lying in his cot. Dr. Duryea was laughing heartily at what he supposed was their illubion. But on going co the ward himself however, he was astounded to find Hyland sleeping there. The fears of the other patients were soon set at rest on finding that it was Hyland himself, and not his ghost. The occurrence was explained as the result of suspended animation I asked Hyland yesterday to relate his experience. He said he could not remember how long he had been unconscious when he carno to himself on a marble slab with only a sheet for a covering. I The place was icy, and looking around he saw other bodies lying ? on slabs. Not fully realizing where he was he turned towards a man with a long beard on a slab near him, and "Say, where are we?" Night Watchman O'Connell, who was outside when he heard the voice, ran away. Hyland then got off the slab. After searching about the place he found a blanket, which he wrapped about his shivering body. Then he pounded at the door, and shouted for some one to let him out. It was not until Tierney and Dobbs, came at about I 2 o'clock that he was released from the place. Tierney, who returned to the hospital . a few days after the exciting episode, said yesterday to me that he was never so frightened in his life, and would never be the same again. Dobbs absolutely refuses to return to the hospital. WILL DIE IN A GLAbS JAR. ? Spiritualist Will Keep His Spirit a Prisoner. - MUSKEGON, Mich., Dec. 4.-Geo. Francis Dobson, a spiritualist of this city, has perfected a scheme, he thinks by which he hopes at death to be able to prove positively to those still in the material state that his spirit exists. He went to Pittsburg a shoit time ago and obtained a large glass cylinder so constructed that it can be sealed air tight quickly. In this cylinder lie has suspended with fine copper wires two pieces of metal so light that they may brought in contact with each ot by the slightest' motion of within the cylender. Wires p through the cylender, one be connected with a battery and other with a telegraphic inst ment. He has made arrangeme for his friend, just before spirit leaves, his body, to seal h in the cylender, so that his spi may be.kept from departing a at the same time be enabled a series of systematic disturban of the air within the cylender toc< mmunicate with hisfriends throu the telegraphic instrument. Ht dying with consumption, and 1 public probablyjwill not have lo to wait for the test, of his expe ment. If it should prove successi his friends are jpledged after thi days to unseal the cylinder a allow the spirit and then seal and bury the remains.

An Incident related in the biograph; of Sir Provo Wallis, admiral of the Bril isa fleet, brings home to the reader th cruel nature of war. It occurred dui ing the war of 1812. Au American cap tain had taken a fine ship to Lisbon where she had sold her cargo forth' use of the British army under Welling ton, and received several thousands o dollars in return, which were on board Meantime war had been declared, an< on her homeward voyage she fell a vic tim to the British squadron. One of thi principal objects of her captors waa U obtain information. The American cap iain was sent on board the Shannon which afterward captured the famoui Chesapeake-but was kept in ignorar?a of the war and of the fact that he was i prisoner. He answered unreservedly all tile que? tions put to him, and Captain Broke who greatly disliked, the deception he ; had been obliged to practice, now felt il difficult to make the prisoner acquainted with the next step which must be taken. At length he forced himself to say: "Captain, I must burn your ship." The American, overcome by Burp rise, faltered, "Burn her?' "Indeed I must." "Burn her for what? Will not monej save her? She is all my own-and all the property I have in the world. Is il war, then?" '.'Yes," said Broke. Both parties were painfully moved, and the scene did'nbfend without a tear from each, but duty waa duty,-and the prize was destroyed. -Youth's. Com panion. Th?

Undine Lost Baggage. It was on the Stormy division of the C. B. and Q. it happened, when Superin tendent Dugan's jurisdiction embraced that division. The east bound passen ger train, then called the Cannon Ball, had on board five corpses, through from Denver, in charge of the train baggage man. It was is June, and the weather was hot. The baggage man find ing tiie atmosphere in the baggage car be coming undesirable moved three boxes containing a corpse each to the plat form of his car outside, one on top of the other. . As the train waa nearing Ottumwa, the baggage man upon looking ont was horrified to discover one of the boxes miseing. Surmising that one of the boxes had slid off in rounding s curve, owing to the high rate of speed the train had been running, he wired Superintendent Dugan immediately upon arrival of the train at Ottumwa, apprising him cf the loas. Dugan wired the section foreman at Ottumwa as follows: "Patrick McGann-Look for corpse lost off Cannon Ball three miles west of Ottumwa and report condition of same when found." Patrick immediately started ont with the section gang, and found the box in tact and brought the same to Ottumwa. It was seldom that Patrick received or ders direct from the superintendent, the roadmaster being his immediate supe rior. Consequently Patrick concluded the time tb win promotion had arrived, and after reading Dugan's telegram over for the twentieth timo wired hit super intendent as follows: "Mlahter Popgun-I ber found th? koropsa, and the koropse was dod."

This description of the natives as they appeared to the' English colonists in Maryland was written in 1663: They are very proper tall men of per son; swarthy by nature, but much more by art; painting themselves with colours in oyle, like a darke red, which they doe to keep the gnat ts off. As for their faces they have other colours at times, as blew from the nose upward and red down ward; somewhat contrariwise, in great varietie and in very gastly manner. They haye no beards till they come to be very old, and therefore, draw from each side of their mouthes lines, to their eares to represent a beard. Their ap pareil generally is deere skyns and some f nrre, which they wear like loose man tels; and yet under this, about then middle, all vromen and men, at man's es tayte, were Younde ? aprons of skyns, which keeps them decently covered, so that, without any offense* to chast. eyes, we may converse with them. All tiie rest of their bodies are naked, and at times some cf the youngest sort of both men and women have just noth ing to cover them.

In the old range cattle boom days, when money from foreign lands was pouring into the wost hke water, there were a good many sharp tricks prac ticed in delivering cattle. It is recalled that the Marquis de Mores, who tried to cut such a conspicuous figure as a revo lutionizer of the American meat trade, and who later became notorious as a duelist, was badly sold. Wmfe in Da-, kota he bought 10,000 head of cattle from two Englishmen. They were first class cattle and cost forty dollars ahead. When these two Britons delivered the cowB they worked one of the neatest "skin" games that was ever heard'of. Medora, you know, sits in a valley, with table lands en each side. Well, the Englishmen ran 8,000 head of cattle in on the marquis and collected for 10,000. The way they did ifrwas-by running the same 5,000 twice around the mil. De Mores never "rom bl ed" an til he had paid his $400,000 and the mony cockneys were bound fer South Amer* ica. It was a dear steal of $300,000, but the marquis didn't xnalec much bones aboutit He had plenty of money and didn't care.-Chicago Drovers' Journal. Th? Sensations "bf Battle.
