War Year A6e-Sme in. Ramsay's history Lf South Carolina contains the following, which Is inte*est Ing In the present prevalence of the "grippe:" Many persons remember that the influenza, after traversing the United States in 1789, reached Carolina and spread extensively. It was very fatal on the plantations near the northeastern !Ine of the State, especially to prime full growu negroes. William Alston lost abont thirty-five of that descriptioj. The whole mucous membrane, tbrouN all its recesses on the insinuses of the aefrontis, was most grievously affected. Deafness, loss of taste and smell, for a long period were among its consequen ces. More have reason to remember the influenza of 1807. Gradually advancing over the Northern States, it reached Chaleston in September. It spared neither age nor sex, though children often escaped altogether; or if attacked, got through with the disease with the least inconvenience. The re verse was the case with aged persons. It soon became so general that in some large families there were not a suflicien cy of persons in health to attend on the sick. In a few weeks it is supposed that 14,000 persons, or half of the popula tion of Charleston, had been afIhteted with the disease. Of these, forty five died; thirteen of whom were white per sons and thirty-two negroes. The for. mer were generally aged persons. The disease spread ou all sides into the country. The mortality in Georgetowi and leaufort was considerably greater than itn Charleston. The disease in ma ny cases was so mild as to preclude the neces4ity of application to a physician, In dangerous cases, where medical aid was required, bleeding, blistering, emet ics, cathartics and audorifics were chiefly relied upon. The influenza in its conimencemeni resembles the yellow, fever with a pair in and over the eyes, and with red streaks over their whites. A sharp acH scum was discharged from the eyes, and sometimes from the nostrils. In suet cases a hoarsnness and soreness of th( throat was usual. The sense of sineii. ing was sometimes impaired, the hear ing was frequently injured, and in a (ei cases the powersof vision were diminish. ed. A tightness and a stficture acrosF the breast, with a dry cough, was con mon. The whole mucous membrane lin ing the fauces, nostrils and bronchii were uncommonly stuffed with phlegm In the aged the disease assumed th form of a pneumonia; ii the young anc plethotie, that of a pleurisy. Persons wi were of a consumptic diathesis, or wh< had been subject to old coughs or dis eases of the breast, suffered most nut oftenest relapsed. SrAtting of bloot and other precursors of consumption at tacked such patients after the discus had in their cases apparently vanishet and generally disappeared. An uncom mon increase of consuimption follove in the year 1808, which exceeded any thing ever before known in Charles town." Colored P1Cop10 In ok0iom.1.

It is argued that, as a resolution has just beeni introdiuced in the United States Men ate to appropriate a large sunm of money to carry colored colonists to Africa, ii the government can appropriate money to transport the negro to Africa, it has the powe -t.o appiropriate money to p)urchase lainds for him at home and could buy the strip for that purpose.

Elantle Manmdstone. The Charleston Sun says: "in south. ern Nevada, in Georgia and in Californie is found a peculiar substance known rn elastic sandstone. It is undoubtedly a stone, yet it as flexible as india rubber. A piece of it may be held by one end and shaken, and the loose end will flop backwards and forwards like a mule's ear. It can be drawn out and com pressed like a pieCe of india rubber, that too not ou one plane, but in any di rection. The entire stone seems to be con structed on the princip)le of a universal joint,'says a writer who describes it. Thbe stone is called itacollimite." The Sun might have added to the list of states where the flexible sandstone or itacolumite is found the nameo of Northi Carolina.

There is one direction by which the surplus colored population of the South might be diverted elsewhere to the ad vantage of the South, the blacks, and the North. In the Middle and 'New England citied and towns there "is a greet scarcity of household labor, and In the country a similar scarcity of farm -labor, The South Is overrun with swarms of worthless household servants. If schools were established for making these efficient cooks, chambermaids and nurses the North would take the entire supply. Gradually they would be fol lowed by their male relations, who would find in the North plenty of farm work to which they are accustom ed, and those who came would have the means of suppgra awaiting them. The change would lbe a natural and gradual one, and more likely to be successful on that account than aly abrupt artificial movement.--Philadelphia Inquirer. -The Hon. Samil. J.

Why twe Promifes Fawlie sse Teether In SPIte of Poltice, W-b.. ington Letter. One of the most interesting mew, in national politics is General M. U. Butler of South Carolina. He comes ot one of the oldest families in the Palmetto State, and his uncle, Pierce Butter, was a Senator in Congress while the man of whom I write was a boy. The uncle was very distinguished looking, and was a power in the deliberations of our high est legislative body at a time when it was filled' with great men. His nephew, who has succeeded him, occupies an equally emminent position in an assem blage that hardly compares with the gathering of intellectual giants that sat, in the Senate Chamber during the migh ty events of 1850. Those who kcew his uncle say that the present Senator has much of his self.poise, fertility of mind and integrity of purpose. AP I saw Senator Butler at the Holf man House last night, an interesting po litical reminiscence was recalled to me.. But for an act of kindness by Pierce But ler,which after generations came back to bless the nephew, the present Senato: from South Carolina might never have held a seat in the Senate. The circum stance occurred when General Simon Cameron was a second time elected United States Senator. The late Governor Bigler was then his colleague. lie mad an effort to induce the Senate to investi ,gate the churge that Mr. Cameron had secured his election by bribery. Ile called the matter up one day, and made a speech detailing the allegations and asking the Senate to take cognizance of them. Pierce Butler espoused General Ceneron's cause, and made a speech in which he said that the United States Senate was not the place in which the State of Pennsylvania could wash its 4 ry linen, and moved that the resolution for investigation be not agreed to. The Senate followcd Butler's lead, iand Cam cron's title to his seat was not contestel. When the vote wis announced that set tled the controversy, Butler walked over to where General Caimr-m sat,, and said: "Now Simon, you olught to setld ie a bottle of whiskey with which to . cle brate this occasion." '"B3y the life, Butler," replied Came ron, "I'll send you a barrel of the best made in Pennsylvania." The liquor was sent, and ever there after the families of Cameron and But ler were fast friends. It is said that '"time at last sets all things even." Nearly a quarter of a century after this occurrence, which 'ias forme<t one of the I singular pages of the history of this country. the nephew of the1 man who did Cameron the service knocked for ad mission at the Senate w iit h a contest oii I his hands. A single Republiciin vote I would save his title. The father called - upon )on to repay the kindness of Pierce Bntler to him when Governor I Bigler was seeking to keep him out. Don assumed the obligation and voted I against his party, and M. C. Biutler he - came a senator. Today the two families, liTering so widely in politics and inter Usts, are conspicuously friendlv, giving the lie to the lines tiat were written long years ago: "''ime liath, lmy Lori, a wallet. oi Ils back, VhIerelu lie puols at14 for otllv\on's sa , Th wsie scraps are good (leeds past, 4 1' rgot ais soon :s dttol v, t MOONSilNElS' FUN.

"it happened on the night of Decem her the 28th, in Itockdale. It was a moonlight night, about 10 o'clock. The celector was drivIng, and was alone.

H. Barber is we4, me of .York county's mot armtrt- He lives at Ri4 >wnsr about -fou thousao a Eastern York, where he d of As farming. A reporter - I-. juirer met. him the other &r* .%a. ilie's, a station which he Is buft *=ep )n the Three U's. The old gentleman iad just finished settling his accounts with his croppers and having made a arge crop was in a i eal good humor or telling how it was done. He said to the reporter: "You can ,ut in the paper that I averaged more Iotton to the mule than any other man *n York county." "How many bales, Mr. Barber?" "Ten bales to the mule with twenty ix mule-260 bal s. Now let me you bibat that if you can." "Was your crop as good this year as asual, Mr. Barber." W "No, no. I can'tsay that it was, but here is another point fur you. I have just paid one negro who runs a two mule farm on my place $399.56. He makes that much clear after paying everything he owes nib-living and everything-and nearly every one of a dozen others have cleared over $150 apiece. "Now peoplo say there is nothing in farming, but I say there iF. Therm. is more in it than anything else there's everything in it. That's my experience and I know what I'm talk ing about when I say it, my young friend. I merchandised seventeen years, and made money. I have a one-third interest in the Fishing Creek factory, and it's making as much money as any of them, let me tell you, but I get larger returns out of the farm than anything else. You can make the -arm pay 50 and 100 per cent, but you can't squeeze any such protits out of the store or factory." "But how is it that so many people fail to make a living on the farm, Mr. Barber?" "They don't work, that's why. The majority of farmers want three Sun days a week, and nobody can get along by working only half of the time. Suppose you would take three Sundays a week in your business, how would you come out? You'd bust, wouldn't you? That's what you would do, and that's what anybody else who tries it will do. Now the farmer don't have to work any harder or longer than anybody else. He don't have to work from daylight till dark. Not a bit of it. I have a piece of land over next to the factory and have had a standing ofler for the past three or four yearsof $250 a year to any votng mam who would work it by the factory bell. I just want him to put in ten hours a day, and at the end of the year I'll give him $250. That's fair ain't it? That's as much as the factory hands work; but if he'll work by the bell he'll be wortfh every cent of $250. "Then, there is ,another thing. A good.mauy people try to farm, and they dontknowaunythingaboutit.. Take the common notion about guano. Most people put 150 pound on an acre. They will lay oil thir rows about ,hree feet apart, and i! the wind is blowing th y will take one of these horns, so as to keep the guano from getting out of the furrow, and string it aloag the row in a line white line. They are so care ful about wastingit that, if the string happens to get broken for a foot or two they won't even go back to patch it, upj. Thien they lput, in! their cotton, which comes up and st'arts to growing very nicely, b)ut il'a little dry weaither conmes along the cotton turns sickly and they say the guano burns it up. But it, ain't, the guano. It is the poor land that, burns it up. Nowv think ab)out it. They put in that little streak of guano. The plant comes up and grows rapidly while it lasts, but so soon as the fertilizer is exhausted, of course it dies down, because there is nothmng left for it to feed on, so you see it is the poor landl that does it. Nowi, to prove what I say. Ifa hun drced and fifty p)ounds of guano scorch. es the cotton so it wont grow, tyvo thousand p)ounds ought to set it(afire, oughtn't it~? But itwon't. It's my ex. experience, that the more fertilizers you use the more cotton you make, and, in order to demonstrate the. mat ter to the satisfaction of everybody, I am going to make a special experi ment next spring, and p)ut two thous and pounds of guano on one acre. And I'm not going to burn anything up eit,her. See ifI do." "Do you rent your lands, pay wages or work on shares?" "On shares altogether. It is the most satisfactory way for all. I furnish everything--the mules, tools and sup plies. The cropper furnishes nothing, but the lab)or. If I make he makes and, if I lose he loses, so you see it is his interest to work, and the harder the better. I give them the half of everything t hey make, and that en courages them to make all they can. Some people don't give but two-fift.hs, but let me tell you I get as much out', of the half as any of them.

"Me and my sister are trying to get to our home in North :arolina, and somebody in Birmingham paid our way on the train we have just left." Frightened sobs came trom. the youngest girl. The eldest threw her arms protectingly about, her sister, and said: "Don't cry, Fannie, evel ything will be all right." An officer was called and the little girls were taken to the police stat ion. They were seen by a Journal reporter and asked to tell their story. The elder answered the questions. Her name was Patsy Cook and her sister's name was Faiio Cook. She was fifteen years of age and her siter eleven. "Two months ago," she said, "our father and mother left wvithi us-six of us; there are six children, you know, and I am the oldest-for Arkansas.
