FOR THE KEOWEE COUttlER.
Mr. Editor : In this, my fourth article;
I will try and givo thc plan of a house foi
curing tobacco. Tho logs having boen eui
and hauled as directed in my lust artiolo, tlx
wall should be put up about uinc feet Witt
beforo thc first course of tier-poles is put on
thou asimilar course of tiers ovory third rount
of logs, uutil tho body of tho houso is fou:
tiers high, when tho roof moy be made to sui
thc builder. It should then be chinked nut
daubed from thc ground to the roof, whiol
may bo done on the insido of tho house ; flue
should then bo made through tho house, o
any kind of fire-proof atone, taking care to cu
out a sufficient number of logs to provont thos
nearest tho flues from taking fire. Tho flue
should bo run from tho lower side of the hous
to thc upper side, so as to givo it tho propc
draught; tho outside walls of the fluos shoul
bo parallel with thc walls of thc house, at th
distance of about two feet. They should fa
brought together by a curvo near tho uppc
sido of tho houso, and run through or pai
the wall of tho house some three foot ; and
little chimney should be raised a few feet, <
ns to take tho heat and smoko from the wal
The fluos should bc mado straight and anion'
on tho iusido from tho mouth to the curve
tho walls should bo about four inches thiel
twclvo i nobes apart, and thirteen inohos big]
And covered with flat rooks from three to fit
inches thiok, aud daubed tightly. Tho do
of thc houso should bc in tho lower side, b
tweon the flues ; tho space between the flu
and tho logs where tho flues pass through tl
walls, should bo filled with stone und mort;
I will give another artiolo in ??week or tn
upon tho curing of tobacco, which will clo
tho series. llcspootfully,

SUITS AGAINST; DELINQUENT POSTMJ
TER s IN-THE SOUTHERN STATES.-The Six

States who have as yet failed to make rctui
of balances due the United States at thc co

hostilities in 1861 tho amount due by pc
masters in tho South was 8300,000, of whi
sum about -$100,000 has been collected, lo
ing an equal amount still duo. Many of .
postmasters have voluntarily come forward r
paid all up, while others have been given ti
to scttlo, they having shown a wilhngnest
do so if granted a short season to prooure
money, as most of them have become imp
embed through the vicissitudes of war. J
Post Office Department has thus far been I

only brought whore tho right of tho Dep?

THE SEARCH FOR JOHN SMITH.
John Smith m furled my father's ^reat un
cle's oldest daughter, Melinda Byrne. Con
sequently I was a relativo to John.
J oh U'H family had often visited at our quiet
country home, and at each visit had most cor
dially pressed ut? to return the compliment.
Last October, business coiled mo suddenly
to tho oity of B-, where our relatives re
sided, and without having timo to write or
apprise thom of my coming, I was intending
a visit to tho family of John Smith.
With my accustomed carelessness, I had
loft his preciso address nt homo in my noto
book, but I thought little of it j I could cosi
ly find him, I thought to myself, as the curt,
set mo down amid the smoko and bustlo of
B-.
I enquired for my relativo of tho first hack
man I oamo across.
Ho looked at mo with an ill suppressed grin.
What was tho fellow laughing ut7 Tobe
suro my clothes wero not of tho very latest cut,
and it ts not just tho thin?; for any ono out of
tho army to wear blue with bright buttons ;
but my coat was whole, and my aunt Betsy 1
I had scoured thc buttous with whiting and soap
until they shone like gold. I repented my
question with dignity.
" Gan you direct mo to tho residence of
Mr. John Smith ?"
" Mr. Smith ?" bo said slowly.
"Yes, sir-Mr. John Smith, lie married
my father's great uncle's eldest daughter Me
linda."
" I don't think I know a John Smith with
a vfife Melinda."
John Smith seemed to bo a common noun
with him, from the peculiar tone ho used in
spunking of that individual.
" Ah 1" I rcmai ked, ?* then th oro ia more
than ono of that naino in this city ?"
" I rather think there is."
" Very well, theil, direct mc to thc near
est."
" Tho nearest is in West street, second bund
loft corner-you'll soo tho nanto on thc
door."
I passed on congratulating myself on thc
cordial welcome 1 should receive from John
und Melinda.
I soon reached thc placo-a handsome house
with tho namo on a silver door plate- rang
tho boll-a servant appeared.
" Mr. Smith in ?"
" No, sir, Mr. Smith js in the army."
" Mrs. Smith-is she ?"
"In the army?-oh, no-Silo's on thc
boaoh."
u Thia is Mr. John Smith's house is it ?"
" It is.*\
" Was his wife's name Melinda, and was
sho a Byruo beforo she was married, from
Squashvillo?"
i Tho man roddencd and responded angrily :
"I'll inn stand boro to bc insulted. I -
I Make off with yourself,- or I'll call tho police.
! I thought from tho first that you. was an entry
thief, but you don't play no game on me !"
and bc banged thc door in my fuco.
I a thief! If I bad not been in such a
hurry to find the Smiths, I should have given
i that rascally follow a sound chastising on thc
I spot.
Inquiry elicited the fact that John Smith
lived jo Arch street. Thither I bent my steps
A maid servant answered my ring.
" Mr. Smith in?"
Before sue could reply, a big red-faced mar
jumped out of thc shadows behind tho door
und luid his heavy hand on my shoulder.
" Yes, sir, be cried in a voice of thunder
" Mr. Smith is in. Ho stayed nt home al
day on purpose to catch you, and now by Ju
piter, I'll buvc my revenge."
" Sir," says I, " there must bo somo mis
tuko. Allow me to inquire if you aro Mr
John Smith ?"
"I'll inform you about Mr. John Smith ii
a way that you won't relish, if you don't set
tie the damage forthwith. Five thousnm
dollars is thc very lowest figure-and you mus
lcavo tho country ?"
I cried: "What do you toko mo'for?
You'd bettor bo careful or you'll get j'our hca<
caved in !"
" I'll cavo your head in for you, you youn;
villain you!" cried he, springing at mo.witl
bis cane.
" Oh, John, dear John 1" exclaimed n shrf
female voice, and a tull figuro in a se* C
flounces bounded down tho stairway.
" Don't, for thc lovoof beaven-don't mai
der him I"
" Who tho deuce do you take mo for ?
cried I, my temper rising.
" It looks well for you to ask that quci
tion 1" sneered tho man, "you who have wo
my wifo's heart, and are now beru to plan t
olopo with her ! I've found it all out-yo
needn't blush, and-"
" I beg your pardon for interrupting you,
said I, " but I have never seen your wife bi
fore. I perceive that she is not Melind
tho eldest daughter of my father's grout, ut
olo-"
"Sir, do you deny that you arc Williai
Jones ? Do you deny boing in lovo with m
wife?"
" X am not Jones-I have not that bono
sir. My name is Pnrkwell. Henry Pari
well, of Squashvillo," and with a bow I too
myself off.
After that I called at tho residences of th ri
John Smiths-nono of thom wore my M
Smith, and nothing oeourred worthy of nob
My next Mr. Smith resided in Poi thin
street. Thither I bent my stop*). It was
very small houso-evidently not the house <
wealth ind cleanliness. I mn do my way j)
to tho front door timid a wilderness of old rag
broken orookory, old tin wate, cte, ?cnttorir

You'd Uko to soil imo another German silver

" Allow me to inquire," said I, " If Mr.
.lohn Smith's wife was Melinda llyrnc, the
eldest daughter of my father's-"
The broomstick was lifted. I heard it cut
the sir like a minnie bullet, und sprang down
the steps into tho street ot my best pace.
An angry man I do not four, but who can
stand beforo an angry wouian ? I had rather
face a roaring lion.
I called on two moro Mr. Smiths-.still un
successful in my seuio'i. it was getting near
dark, and I wus moro than anxious" to reach
my destination.
My in xt Mr. Smith was loo ited iu 1 ?couard
street. C1 lt was twilight when I rang the bell
at his door.
A smiling fellow admitting me, fairly forced
mo into the hall, before I could utter a word.
"Walk right in sir; thoy arc expecting
you., 'J ?ic ladies will bo down in a moment.
Miss Hattie is in thc back parlor. Walk-right
in, sir."
1 was gently pushed toward the door of a
shadowy apartment, and nt thc entrance 1 was
announced :
" Mr. Henry "
Tho gas was not lighted, and tho apartment
was in semi-darklies-, I heard a soft quick
footfall on tho carpet, and a pair of-urins fell
round my nock, rind a pair of tho sweetest lips
on tho footstool touched mino ami good gra
cious ! for a moment the world swam, und I
felt us if I had been stewed in honey, and dis
tilled ! in Lubiu's best triple extract of roses.
Oh, Henry-my dearest and best. Why
don't you kiss mo, Henry'/"' cried a voicr
like music. " Have you censed to care foi
mo?" and again tho kiss was repeated.
Who o.mld resist thc temptation ? I nm
naturally a diilidont man, but I have point.
human nature in me, and I paid her principal
and interest.
" Oh, Henry, I had so feared that being ir
the army .had made you cold-hearted-gooc
heavens !" She foll against a chair ns palo ai
death. Thc servant hud lit tho gas, mid ]
stood revealed.
"I boc your pardon, innrm," said I, "then
must be somo mistake. May I inquire if Mr
Smith's wife Wan "Melinda ISyrun. tho. chics
daughter of my father's great uncle ?"
Tho red flush ethno to the young lady':

" She was not. You will, limpe, cxcn.s

replied gallantly. Allow mc to introduce ill)

I sprang to my feet, sci/.ed my bag, an
without a word dashed from thc houso.

Tho man picked himself up and was about t
mako a display of inmolo, when the ?ri aro <

" Kur oka !" cried t. Allow mo to inquii

" Sho was," said ho, grasping my limn
"und I nm delighted to seo you ! Hut coi

Hut I must cut my story short.
He took mo home with him, mid I lind

eau ronni ii in doubt, oven for a moment, as to
tho stage which husbandry lins ronolicd lu
liuropo. Wo find that .all countries and re
gions of tho earth where tuan has omitted tb
restoro to' tho land tho conditions of its con
tinued fertility, ofter having attained the cul
minating period of the grentest density of pop
ulation, fall into a stato of barrenness and des
o):;lio;?. Historians ure wont to attribute the
decay of nations to political events mid social
causes. These may, indeed, huve contributed
greatly to tho result; but wo may well ask
whether some fur dooper cause, not so easily
recognized by historians, has not produced
these events in the lives of nations, und wheth
er most of tho exterminating wars between
different races may not have f' rilng from the
inexorable law of self-preservation. Nations,
like men pass from youth tu ago mid then die
out-so it may appear tu thc superficial ob
server ; but, if we look at tho matter a little
moro closely, wo shall find that, ns the condi
tions for thc continuance of tho humnn race
whioh nature hus placed iii thc ground ure
very limited and readily exhausted, thc nu- j
tiona that havo disnppcared from the earth
hnve dug their own graves by not knowing
how to preserve those conditions. Nations
(Uko China and Japan,) who know how to
preservo these conditions of lifo do not die
out.-JJ.eeh a nye.,

long breaths, wine their sweaty brows, and
devoutly thank I lon von that the Americans
are so friendly ; because it is perfectly evident
to every one that sees thc Miantoiioinoh that
thc whole British navy could not hinder her
from steaming up to London bridge and toss

into the Bank of langland, into the House of
