It seeing to bo a set lock, and you no sooner touch 9 with the weight of a hair ono of the quills than tho tail leaps up in tho most ' surprising manner, and tho laugh is not on your side. Tho beast cantered along tho path in my front, And I threw myself upon him, shioldcd by my roll of 1 blankets.

This I proceeded to investigate, but had not fairly mado a be ginning wnen it went oil like a trap, and my hand and wrist woro full of quills.

ITow Thread Is Knmbcred. Everybody knows the sizes of thread. Every seamstress knows whether she wants No. 80 or GO or 120, and knows, whbn sho hears tho number, about what . 3 tho sizo of the strand referred to; but lls iow tho numbers happen to bo what they ns ire, and just what they mean, not one person in a thousand knows. And yet it s a simple matter to explain, was tho information accorded to a reporter by an imployo of ono of tho largest spool cotton Manufactories in tho United States. When 810 yards of yarn weigh 7,000 stains, a pound of cotton, tho yarn is S'o. 1. If 1,G80 yards weigh a pound, it i will "be No. 2 yam'. TYivTVi fir j inf' would tako 50 multiplied by 840 vards'oH weigh a pound. This is tho whole of the | an pirn measurement. Tho early manu- | <" Lin uucuu whs iuree cora, ana tne .bread took its number from the number >f tlio yarn from which it was made. So. GO yarn made No. GO thread, though in point of fact tho actual caliber of No. at 10 thread would equal No. 20 yarn, being ilirce GO strauds. When the sewing machino came into .ho market as tho great consumer, unreasoning in its work and inexorablo in ts demands for mechanical accuradWf lix cord cotton had to bo made - unootlicr product. As thread numC^W' __ vero already established, they were not iltered for tho new article, and No. 60\ ax cord and No. GO tlirco cord nro idendcal in sizo as well as in number. To iffect this tho six cord has to bo made of tarn twice as firm as that demanded by ;ho threo cord. Tho No. GO six cord irould bo six strands of No. 120 yarn, to Three cord spool cotton is the same number as tho yarn it is mado of.

About tho middlo of tho rhirtoentli century a Venetian traveler nid writer, Marcus Paulus Venetus, gives 'ho following account: "Through tho wholo provinco of uatliny, black stones aro dug out of tho fountains, which being put in tho firo jurn liko wood, and when kindled conlinuo to burn for a long time. * * * If lighted in tho ovoning they keep alive tho wholo night." Tho ancient Britons mndo uso of coal to a certain extent. Stono hammers havo been found in coal croppings, and llio name?formerly ''cole"?is of British origin. After tho conquest the Romans |ftn began to uso it, for cool cinders havo boon found in Roman walls, and Roman coins in beds of cinders.

JS. - / . , , * Tbel Io?-*ago of Governor Ilichar Ison, \ which was presented to the Geucral Assembly yesterday, is an elaborate paper^ but- not two full, by any means, for the subjects which it describes and discusses. Tb?G overnor shows that the Deficiency bonds of the State hare bcon refund- | ed, the new 4} per cer.t fern da having boon sold at n par or premium, and rcccomsods that immediate steps bo takcu to xpfund the Consolidation bonds and stook which tnaturo in 1893. It is rcoomnionded also that the Legislature take steps to compel the holders of outstanding Consolidation bonds of tho original issue to exchange theui for Brown bonds under tho laws now of force. The Governor thiuks that ho forfeited laud law of 1887 is practical and effecUsa$nd recommend that it be not amuud ^d*e*copl so far as to require the bounty sheriff to boII ou aomo regular sAlcsday. Turning to the public schools, 'ho Governor fluds an jncrease of 18,417 pupils ana a larger expenditure of money for' school housefl than ever before. The nuiiber and quality of the school houses in tho couutry ^iave greatly advanced. Tbo facilities for tho training of teachers have also been cularged. The Wiuthrop Training School is pleasantly praised, and tho continuance of tho State scholarships is heartily recommended. It is suggested also that tho practicability of teaching phonography, telegraphy aud photography bo considered. The republication of the school law is udvised, so that every officer may kuow his duty. Tho Governor aptly says that 'the only way to reach and elevate tho masses is through a system of free public schools.' -The Governor describes likewise tho reorganization 01 me u Diversity ot South Carolina. This includes now a College of Agriculture and Mechanic Aits, with iweuty-threo teachers, eleven carefully formulated courses for degrees and certificates, well equipped laboratories and shops, and its farm and provision for praotioal training. The Governor asserts that the Uuiversity is one of which Huy-State might be proud, and stands second to none iu the South. Tlicro are uow '221 students in attendance. Of the 100 students entering this year, the largo majority are pursuing scientific courses. Regarding the Agricultural C"il:ge the j position of tho Governor that if the agricultural class tho Stato desire a high class institution ofloarning devoted exclusively to instruction iu the sciences pertainto agriculture, such a college should JW$T?5^5THftY'8iy3, without the least dh'turhanco of tho organization of a single institution now existing. Nor should it depend upon tho acceptance oft ho CleuiSon or any other bequest. The State will be amply able to build and support such a oollege without any increase of taxation, as the saving by refunding the debt will amount to ?120,000 a year at least. As regards tho Clcmsou bequest, tho Governor holds that it would not compart with the interest of dignity of the Stato to accept it before it is ascertained that the institution shall Toiavor remain under the supreme aud eoutrol of the Stato.' Tho Governor describes very care fully the condition aud prospects of tlic State Military Academy, and recommends that the entire amount received from tho general Government for rent and for damages, amounting to 877,250: (loss the sum due for colleeliou,) shall be applied to rebuilding the west wing of the Citadel, and to the better equipment and gcueral improvement of the school. The reasouing of the GoTornor on this point is particularly clear and ntrong. Olafliu College for tho colored people has made a good showing, and the Con< inuanco of of the special appropriation is recouiuieuded, as is the usual appropriation for the Deaf aud Dumb and liliud institution, with special appropria tions for a building lor colored pupils md for water supply. The Governor reviews the operations of the department of agriculture aud remarks that 'its good work is apparent and is more appreciated the more it is investigated and understood.' The experimental Stations uro at Columbia, Spartanburg and Darlington. I'heir work has been extensive. liupoi Lant lines of investigation have been entered upon and much valuable experience has been acquired. The condition ol the State Penitentiary is more satisfactory than it has oeeu for some years, as the income Irom ill sources has been slightly in excess of iho expenses. It appears in their agricultural operations the Penitentiary ooard have lost ?125,(100 by Hoods iu ?vo years. Without this they wouid 40W have a surplus of ?100,000. The outlook for next year is considered satisfactory, and it is believed that the institution will bo self-supporting. . The Governor commends tbe suggestiou of :he Board that provision ho u>ado for i Reformatory for youthful criminal--. The Lunatic Asylum has (ISO ioma'ts uid the regents ndvocatj the establishment of a separate asylum for the c< ! >red insane. There is no question, of course, of the necessity of providing suitibly I'.r the insane, bur, if tlie present system continues, it seems to be likely that the Lunatic Ayrlutu w II swallow up the whi le revenues of the State r.l'ter a while. For some reason, or other, uiany per.-ons who are well able to pay for tbo care and support of their own ^natic8^i)auapo^0^^^^^^m^^5de^ f'r at ti e axpehse of lha'public., This Governor says tbijt there were 2,700 persons classed as insane, epileptic and idiotic in South Carolina in 1880, and only about one-fonth of jhc number has found its way into tho Ayslam so far. All the money that can bo saved by refundiug tho debt, and iu every other way, can be spent ou tho lunatics iu this State uulcss there be some change of habit or plan. The Governor is especially emphatic iu his remarks concerning the railroad commission, and in tho recommendation llint tho law be changed so as to 'require railroads within South Carolina to regulate their rotes of friepht within the State, so that tho public shall derive tho greatest benefit nossiblo consistent with tho interest tho railroad corporation.

Tho Legislature is asked to make provision for the pay of the Johnson llifles while in service. There ought to he sotno geucral provision of tho kind. Only tlrco counties remain without a military organization. The suggestions of the Adjutaut and Inspector General regarding aunu.il iocampments are earueetly commended.

It is mentioned that the Hoard 'is apprehensive that gross^frauds have already crept in, and may continue to creep in/ if some system ot the investigation in the counties bo not adopted. The ainouut paid for pensions is S-l'J.GSS. The continuance of the appropriation I for the State Agricultural Society is rc| commended. For the State llouse the Governor recommends as liberal an appropriation a.i is consistent with the resources of the State. The suggestion of Major Hammond that steps bo taken to perfeot a topographieal survey and map <>f the SavaunaU ltivor, aud for the vppoiutuieut of a joiut commission by Georgia and South Garoliua, is treated as worthy of most earnest const K-ration, the Governor be^ - -neration. between the federal nntlu riti<-s end thohe of to' States of Georgia aud South Carolina the important work can be properly executed aud with comp irttively iusigniflcant expenditure. What has been said will give the public a general idea of the nature of the uovernor s message, ana ol the recommendations which lie makes. It is most advisable, however that every citizen road the message for himsilf as it is contains a largo body of import aut information presented with all lucidity, and furnishing material for a proper understanding of tho condition and needs of South Carolina in every department of the public service, tho only topic whicli is not discussed, to far as wo can sec, is the vexed question of the best mode of regulating the assessment of property for taxation, ond for securing equality of assessment throughout the State.?Ncics and Courier.

They had seen the ghost of tin cippcr Teun :sjeo, which on dark, rainy nights, outside the heads the pilot boats occasionally speak but never board, and which is the phantom terror of the experienced navigators of the coast.
