DADDY'S BOY.
Id a certain small town on the Mississippi,
lived a man who made horse-trading a business.
He bought up horses for a city market,
aud was considered pretty good on a trade.
One day a long, lean, queer, green-looking
specimen of the western country arrived at the
dock with a boat-load of horses. He inquired
for the horse-jockey.
"Daddy seut ine down here with some
horses," he said in a half idiotic tone.
"Who's he?"
"Daddy."
"What do you want for your horses?"
"Daddy said you could set your price," was
the response.
"Let's go down and look at your horses,"
said Brown, and accordingly they wdfe soon
at the boat.
Browu examined the horses, and named
the price he would give for this one and that,
ntts) tKa AAlinfpO Km mnlrin marlp nn nhipption.
although some of the offers were not more
than oue-half the real price of the animal.
One of the bystanders gently suggested to the
couutryman that he was being cheated, but
the bumpkin replied :
"Daddy said Brown would set the price
himself," and so Brown had it all his own
way.
At last they came to another animal, which
did not look much superior to the rest.
"I must have more fur that auermal," said
the fellow. "Daddy says he can run some."
"Run!" said Brown ; "that nag can't run
worth a cent."
"Daddy said so, and daddy knows."
"Why, I've got one up at the stables that
would beat it all hollow."
"Guess not," said the fellow. "Let's try
'em. I'll bet the whole boat-load of horses
on 'im
Brown smiled.
"I'll stake five thousand dollars against
your boat-load," said Brown, winking to tbe
crowd, "and these men," selecting two, "shall
hold the stakes."
Brown's five thousand dollars were entrusted
to one, and the other went on board the
horse-boat
One of the crowd started to remonstrate
with the poor idiotic fellow, but he only responded
:
"Gollv! daddv told me he could run some,
"* ^ ?/ fj ~ ~ t ^
and daddy ought to lose 'em if he was sich a
tarnal fool as to tell me that when he could
not."
Brown's sleek racer was brought down, and
Brown mounted him. The countryman led
out his animal and climbed on his back, looking
as uncouth and awkward as the horse he
proposed to ride.
The word was given and they started
amidst the laughter of the crowd. At first
Brown was ahead, and it looked as though
the poor fellow was to be badly beaten; when
suddenly he plunged forward and the horsejockey
was left far behind. Such going had
not been seen in those parts for a long time,
and poor Brown was crestfallen as the cheers
of the bystanders fell on his ears.
"I'll take the spondulix," said the countryman,
riding up. "Daddy was right. The
anerraal can git round a little"
Brown tried to say it was a joke, but the
fellow would have his money.
"I guess I won't trade to-day," he said, as
he put it in his old, rough, leather pocket.
book. "I'll go back to daddy."
In vain Brown tried to induce him to trade,
but he pushed off his boat, resolutely saying,
"I'd better go back, and tell daddy."
Brown was completely sold, for he knew at
once that the green countryman was a little
shrewder than people imagined him, and bad

Next time be did not ridicule a horse that

A Good Story by Col. Lamar.?Col.
Lamar, in his speech before the Democratic
Convention at Jackson, recently, told the
following anecdote, which, we were told by a
reliable gentleman, has its foundation in fact:
There lived in one of the counties adjoining
Lafayette, a few years ago, an old negro man
who was engaged in buying cattle and driving
them to Memphis for market, and by talking
in all the neighbors's milch cows, etc., he
found on the way, he always managed to
make a considerable profit on his cattle trading.
On one occasion, however, he invested in a
drove of hogs and took them to Memphis;
but by a loss in weight, and a decline in the
market, he lost some money in the transaction.
He had always been in the habit of
bousting, after selling his cattle, of the large
profits he had made; but when he returned
home after the sales of his hogs he did not
have a word to say. The little darkies did not
understand his silence, and quite a number
of them gathered around him, and entreated
him to tell how much profit he had made on

"G'way, g'way, children. Don't be bodderin*
me 'bout dem hogs."
But they continued to tantalize the old
man, until he exclaimed, in great fury:
"Profit, h?11! All de profit I got was de
comp'ny ob de d?d hogs from here to Memphis."
The Colonel then remarked that he supposed
the audience knew of a good many men
who had gone over to the Kadical party
to get office, and who, so far, had got nothing
but "de company."?Mobile Register.

A Dream that Parted Man and Wife,
Bundy has been married two weeks and has
left his wife. Bundy is a little man, and his
wife weighs 240 pounds, and was the relict of
the late Peter Potts. About ten days after
marriage, Bundy was surprised, on awakening
in the morning, to fiud his better half sitting
op iu bed eryiug as if her heart would break.
Astonished, he asked her the cause of her sorrow
; but receiving no reply he began to surmise
that there must be some secret on her
mind that she withheld from him, that was the
cause of her anguish, so he remarked to Mrs.
B. that as they were married, she should tell
him the cause of her grief, so, if possible, he
could avert it, and after considerable coaxing
he elicited the following from her: .
"Last night I dreamed that I was single,
and as I walked through a well-lighted street
I came to a store where a sign in front advertised
husbands for sale. Thinking it curious,
I entered, ?nd ranged along the wall on
either side were men with prices affixed to
them?some for 81,000, some for 8500, and so
41 Zf) An4 ?o T had not. that, amount I
uu ww v^ wv/? a*uva hw ? - ? ?
could not purchase."
Thinking to console her, B. placed his arm
lovingly around her, and asked:
"And did you see any man like me there ?"
"Oh, yes," she replied, drawing away from
him-; "lots like you. They were tied up in
buuches, like asparagus, and sold for ten
cents per bunch."
Bundy got up, and went to see his lawyer
if he had sufficient grounds for divorce.
ft?"* Somebody interviewed George Francis
Train, and the latter said : "Do you see these
hands ?" See the blood runs in them ! There's
health for you! All comes from vegetable
diet, sir. No meat for me. I eat nothing
hut vegetables. Vegetables make muscle,
sinew, strength, manhood." "Yes, George,"
said the auditor laughing, "you're right; meat
is weakening. 1 always notice all the strong
animals live on vegetables. There's the weak
lion and panther, they live on meat; and
there's the sturdy sheep, the goose, the calf
and jack-ass; they live on vegetables entirely.
They "It always makes me mad to
talk to an infernal fool!" said Train coloring
up, while he turned on his heel and left
in a huff.
S&" "Is that clock right over there ?" asked
a visitor the other day. "Right over there ?"
asked the boy; "tain't no where else."
| YORKVILLE ENQUIRER, PI
volume aa.~is7?. nc
THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER, which, on iv
the lstof January, 1876, will enter upon the Twkn- T(
ty-second volume, is a large, twenty-eight col- th
umn paper, handsomely printed on clear, legible aj.
type, and devoted to the Political, Social, Ao- .
ricultural and commercial interests of the ld
South. In announcing the new volume, we are ar
enabled to promise increased attractions in all the re
different departments of the paper, conspicuous cj(
among them being the Serial Stories, written
expressly for the Enquirer. "i
As a non-partisan, independent family newspa- an
per, the future editorial conduct of the Enquirer
can be as well judged by the past as by any promise
which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-five years in the newspaper
business?of which time at least one-half has \\
been unremittingly devoted to the management W(
of the enquirer?iunv convinces uie piupnr?/>
that the plan he adopted on assuming control of 63
the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in the fir
present day. The true mission of the newspaper eu
is to place before the public facts as they may ex ist,
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives; ,
and the propriety of this course is fully attested,
not only by the success of the Enquirer, which pe
can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any pr
country newspaper in the South, but also by many p
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we P]
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a m
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be a welcome visitor to the Home Circle,
and acceptable alike to all classes of readers. ar
Hence, the news department of the Enquirer, ui
whether of matters at home or abroad?political or
otherwise?will be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts as they seem to exist, will be presented,
free from sectional or partv bias.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT, uc
The original Serial Stories for the new volume
will possess unusual interest?being from the P'
I pens of the most popular serial writers, vvitn
the first number will be commenced a highly ex- ov
citing and thrilling story of California and frontier tn
life, by Mrs. Henry Deas, entitled {'c
PICCIOLA, ~
Which, as a vivid portrayal of life on the Pacific w,
coast, with adventure, crime, temptation and tri- ;lI1
umph, is one of the most sensational, yet capti- t?
vating and pleasing stories of Western life yet pi
written. This story will be followed by others sj]
throughout the year, of which we can mention pe
the following as now ready: "THE IKON p];
CHEST," a story of domestic life, abounding in ar
mystery and secresy; and a racy, spirited and ro- ra
rnantic story entitled "LOST AND FOUND; Or, re
the White Fawn of the Forest." In addition qf
to these, other stories of unusual interest will be m
published during the volume. an
HISTORICAL SKETCHES.
re
The Historical Sketches of the Early th
History of South Carolina will constitute an
important feature of the volume. These Sketches p
are writton by Rev. Robert Lathan, and com- cp
mencing with the earliest settlement of the State j
in colonial times, gradually trace its rise and pro- jj.

Sketches the author has devoted much thought er
and extensive research. Besides the colonial his*

portant events, the anecdotes and incidents?legendary
and authentic?which have never before
been fully published, connected with the Rovolu- jt
tionary history of the State. Much of the mate- c|,
rial of these Sketches being traditional?many of
the events portrayed having never beeu in print? .
and written in Mr. Lathan's easy, familiarstyle, ea
they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not
only in our own State, but by every one having a
just appreciation of the history of a noble ances- 1
try in their struggle for liberty and independence.
CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE. V,
To meet the demands of our increasing circulation
in Chester county, we have engaged the ser- ('c
vices of Brainkrd McLure, Esq., who will contribute
a letter of corrrespondence from Chester ai1
regularly each week. These letters are devoted
entirely to Chester affairs?to the interests of the ,lc
town and county?and written in the racy and "r
graphic style peculiar to Mr. McLure, they can- 1V
not fail to be of interest to our readers in Chester, r"'
as well as elsewhere in the State. 1 r
THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, S
In addition to tne aoove reaiures, nev. i>ir. ija- f?

I first-class Sowing Machine is an absoluto nesity
to preserve the health and temper of the (
i?e-keeper. Such an one Is the
"FAMILY FAVORITE,"
inufactured by the Weed Sewing Machine
tnpany, Hartford, Conn. ; and it gives us great
isfaction to announce that we have completed
important engagement with the manufactus,
by which we are enabled to add to our al,dy
attractive list the celebrated "Family Farite."
In Sewing Maohines the great deslderim
sought by many is the least possible expen
ure of strength consistent with the accomplish- I
mt of the desired end. The name, "Family |
vorite," indicates the qualities of the machine
have chosen to give as a Premium. It is
ipted to all the wants of family sowing; It can :
readily comprehended by any one; it runs j
lily ; is always ready ; will do any and all kinds ; j
sewing with less changing and fewer extra at
tacliments; Is self adjusting ; is a two-threa<
Machine, making an Elastic Look-Stitch ; stand
solid and firm, with long and roomy folding ta
ble, and has the convenience of two drawers.
We hope to distribute many of these Machine
during the ensuing year, and as only 70 name

are necessary to secure this fine seventy
five dollar prise, the head of almost any family
with a few hours' of well-directed effort, can pro
cure one as the most appropriate and valuabl
present he could make to his wife or daughter.
OUR SILYER WARE PREMIUMS.
With the very liberal offer which we are ena
bled to make, a beautifully furnished table wil
be be no longer a luxury monopolized by a favoi
ed few. Shining silver and sparkling glass war
have become a real necessity in these progressiv
times. They render a room more bright, and al
most seem to make more palatable the food serve
amid such pleasant surroundings.
When procuring such goods, whether by pui
chase with cash, or upon the very liberal am
easy terms that we are offering them, one likes t
be assured of the genuineness of the articles rt
ceived ; and such assurance has weight accorcun
to the reputation of the establishment at whic
the goods are manufactured". Thearticlea of tabl

finish of the goods they manufacture.
? HOW CAJTYOU DO IT 2?
The exceedingly liberal premium offers w
make may cause some persons to ask how we ca
afford todo so, while others may be so ineredulou
as to doubt the good faith of the propositions. T
the first-named class we will say that by buyin
largely, direct from the manufacturers, we obtai
the most liberal discounts given to any class <
wholesale purchasers, of which advantage wegiv
ouF-agents, or those who work for us, the fu
benefit. And should there lie any who doul
the sincerity and good faith of our proposals, w
have only to add that our reputation as a newt
paper publisher for nearly a quarter of a centurj
is too highly prized to forfeit by making fab
promises, or holding out improper inducement
Every article we offer as a premium is warrante
to 1)0 exactly as represented, and the prices give
in our list are precisely the same at which the
are retailed by the manufacturers. In the futuri
as in the past, our premiums shall be prompt!

3 A NEW FAMILY STORY PAPER!
8
THE FAMILY VISITOR.
? .
g
In order to meet the requirements of a large
class of readers who take no interest in much of
the reading matter with which the Inside pages of
the ENQUIRER are necessarily filled, we have
" determined to commence the publication, on the
i first of January, 1870, of ?new paper, to be called
the FAMILY VISITOR, which, besides containing
matter prepared expressly for it, will also be
made up from the LITERARY AND MISCEL'
LANEOUS DEPATMENTSOFTHE ENQUIRII
ER, thus affording a purely Literary and Miscel""
laneous publication, entirely devoid of local and
e other matter unadapted to the tastes of the genere
al reader. To accomplish this object, therefore,
I- the FAMILY VISITOR will contain no matter
d of a local character, either of the affairs of this or
adjoining counties, nor will there beany adver -
flaom Aiitu of a local nat.n readmitted in its columns.
3 It is the proprietor's purpose, by entirely exclu?
ding this class of matter, to render the FAMILY
" VISITOR an entertaining, instructive Home
g Companion in every family throughout the land.
e THE LITERARY FEATURES.
e The same Serial Stories published in the ENt
QUIRERwill be transferred to the columns of
d the FAMILY VISITOR and among other origii.
nal Stories will be published during the year,
i- "PICCIOLA," a tale of California and frontier
n life, by MRS. HENRY DEAS; "THE IRON
i- CHEST;" "LOST AND FOUND; OR, THE
ir WHITE FAWN OF THE FOREST"-stories of
unusual merit and repleto with dramatic plot and
stirring incident. In addition to the Serial Stories,
the FAMILY VISITOR will also contain
e short Tales and Sketches, complete in the nuinn
bers containing them.
" IISTORICALSEETC&ESDF SOUTH CA&1LIII&.
^ These admirable Historical Skethes will be pub)f
lislied in the FAMILY VISITOR. They are
written by Rkv. Robkut Lathan, who has bell
stowed upon the task much thought and exten^
sive research. Tracing the rise and progress of
e the State from colonial times, the Sketches will
also contain the stirring scenes and important
r events, the anecdotes and incidents?legendary
J and authentic-connected with the early history
y of the State, and which have never before been
^ fully published. Much of the material of the
n Sketches?especially that relative to the middle
and upper portions of the State?being traditione
al, many of the events portrayed having never
' been in print, and written in Mr. Lathan's easy,
familiar style, they will be read with peculiar interest
by all classes; while no more entertaining
or instructive history could be placed in the hands
of the youth, or those who would inform thera)
selves upon Colonial and Revolutionary events.
