Mr. Clemson's will was drawn several pears ago by the late Col. J. H. Rion, but several amendments and additions more recently made were drawn by Mr. Simpson. He bequeaths to his grand-daughter, Miss, Lee, $15,000 in money and securities ind 38u acres of the Fort Hill place, with the provision that that tract may be bought In and added to the remainder of the estate at a fixed price. Other legacies amount to $10,000, of which $7,000 was paid before his death. A.11 the remainder of the Fort Hill estate, with the buildings and the magnificent collection of rare pictures, except the family pictures, which go to Miss Lee. Mr. Calhoun's furniture and books remaining in the house and the stocks, bonds, money and other securities of Mr. Dlemson, go to the State for the establishment and maintenance of an agricultural college. The Fort Hill place contains 1,150 acres. Df this 830 acres, as already stated, go to Miss Lee, but can be purchased to keep the estate intact at a fixed reasonable price. Those intimately acquainted with Mr. Olemson's affairs estimate that the securities and cash remaining after the payment of all encumbrances and expenses will be between $50,000 and $60,000, available for developing and endowing the college. The magnificence of the bequest can not well be appreciated without an understanding of what and where Fort Hill is. It is in Oconee county just at the point where Oconee, Pickens and Anderson unite. It runs for some distance along the Seneca river and thence back into rolling uplands and heavily timbered woodland. The house stands on the crest of a gently rising hill in the midst of a wide park, an avenue of old and beautiful cedars leading to it. From the front there is a glorious view directly to the mountains nntil their purple lines mingle with the horizon; on another side the view overlooks the Seneca, wending its way among the hills, and the old British fort, from which the place takes it name and which is on the Fort Hill plantation. The residence is in sight of the Richmond and Danville railroad track, at a distance of half a mile, and is four miles from Pendleton, on the Blue Ridge railroad, four miles from Central, on the Richmond and Danville road, and seven miUo fmm rit.v. the meetine uoint lUliVO I4VUJ ?U>V?IVV%? 7 ,? w m 3f the two railroads mentioned. It is hard to imagine a requisite for an igricultural college which Fort Hill does not possess. It has nearly 200 acres of the finest bottom land, creek and river bottom, cleared upland, pasture land in wide stretches and a great belt of first growth timber, and its upland soil is partly gray ind partly red land. It is abundantly watered with springs, wells and creeks md has all possible* natural convenience Tor dairy, bathing houses and laundry purposes. Where a creek on it empties into the Seneca river there is a good water power which has been used for a mill which did the neighborhood grinding. A fair estimate of the value of the real md personal property included in the bequest makes it exceed $100,000, without, >f course, including the pictures and furliture, which are priceless. Contrary to general expectation, the library Is a very >rdinary one, most of the more valuable jooks having been borrowed, stolen or >therwise lost during Mr. Clemson's long >eriod of retirement and partial illness. The property is given to the State to be jsed as an institution for instruction in ag iculture, but the will directs that the eolege shall not be exclusively agricultural md that proper attention be given to oth;r studies and toageneral collegiate course or students.

It was no sudden freak that inspired Mr. }lerason's action. As long ago as 1866, he vas interested in the establishment of such m institution as his will provides for, and le was then active in forwarding a scheme 0 procure private gifts and subscriptions or the purpose. After the tragic death of lis only son, killed by a railroad accident n 1871, he became more than ever before nterested, and evolved and publicly anlounced his purpose to devote the Calhoun iroperty to the glorious purpose of pronoting practical agricultural education. >ince then he has thought and talked nuch of the subject, andnis will was no urprise to those who knew him best or to dr. Lee, his son-in-law, who knew long tgo the destination intended for the property. The Dog's Scent.?Of all the feats :ommon to hunting life and woodcraft lone seems to me half so wonderful as racking or trailing. As practiced by man racking is wonderful enough, but far nore marvelous is the power by which a log or fox can follow its prey at full speed, piided only by scent, without erring or >eing led astray. To us the word scent has but little meanng. It is the name of a power with which nan is comparatively almost unendowed. irVe go into the woods and see nothing but 1 leaf-strewn ground, thinly scattered over vith herbs and thickly planted with trees; ve see no quadruped and find no sign of tny, perhaps, save the far away chatter of i squirrel. But our dog, merrily careerng about, is possessed of a superior power, it every moment of his course he is gathering facts and reading a wonderful record )f the past, and present and even of the uture. "Here," says his unseen guide, 'is where a deer passed a minute ago," or 'an hour ago;" "this was the course of a "ox a week ago;" that was the direction n which a rabbit flew by a few minutes igo, and, oho! there was a weasel after lim!" ^ M ? C ^ oucn is ine curious recuru ui seem,, repealed to the dog, but hidden from the nan and even inexplicable to him, for ;hough we have a theoretical knowledge >f the subject it is too imperfect to make js fully understand that not only has every sind of animal, but each individual aniraal its own peculiar scent. Thus the dog ;an distinguish not only the bucks, does ind fawns, of the deer tribe, but can pick )ut of a dozen the track of the particular Duck that he is following and never leave t or lose it. Moreover, he can tell by icent which way the animal is going and le is never known to run backward on a :rail. The Advantages of Rest.?There is 30 better preventive of nervous exhaustion than regular, unhurried, muscular exjrcise. If we could moderate our hurry, essen our worry, and increase our openlir exercise, a large proportion of nervous liseases would be abolished. For those who cannot get a sufficient holiday the best substitute is an occasional day in bed. Many whose nerves are constantly strained in their daily vocation have discovered this for themselves. A Spanish merchant in Barcelona told his medical man that he ilways went to bed for two or three days whenever he could be spared from his business, and he laughed at those who spent their holidays in toilsome mountains. 3ne of the hardest worked women in EngInnrl ntKn Kqo fni> manir voara onnHnpfpH A iauu) YT IIvj nao IUI LUUUJ J VM?wi w*iv.^ww? %* large wholesale business in England, retains excellent nerves at an advanced age, Dwing, it is believed, to her habit of taking one day a week in bed. If we cannot avoid frequent agitation, we ought, if possible, to give the nervous system time to recover itself between the shocks. Even an hour's seclusion after a good lunch will deprive a hurried anxious day of much of its injury. The .nerves can often ne overcome by stratagem when they reruse to be controlled by strength of will. What the world wants is a religion "or ordinary people.

[Original.] THE ARREST OP JESUS. Everything connected with the history of our Saviour is intensely interesting. The interest is cumulative as we trace his history from tho manger in Bethlehem in Judea to the cross on Golgotha. The last week of our Saviour's life was crowded with events of thrilling importance. On Thursday evening of that week he instituted the memorial ordinance which we call the Lord's Supper. After the eleven disciples had partaken of the emblems of his broken body and shed blood, our Saviour delivered a long address to his disciples. This address is recorded in the gospel according to John, chapters 14,15,16 I and 17. After the delivery of this address Jesus and his disciples sung: the second part of the Great Hallel, composed of Psalms llo, 116, 117 and 118. After this paschal hymn was sung, Jesus and the eleven disciples immediately "went out into the Mount of Olives.0 This was an elevated ridge east of Jerusalem. Between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives there was a wiDter-flowing stream called Cedron. On the ridge called Mount of Olives, there was a place called Gethsemane?or an enclosed piece of ground?used, probably, both as a kitchen garden and orchard. Here in some secluded spot in this garden-orchard our Saviour prayed most fervently that "the hour might pass from him." This prayer he offered up three times, and each time in the same words. In some way, not revealed to us, his Father intimated to him that he must drain the cup to the bitter dregs, and he submitted. About the time that our Saviour began to beseech his Father to remove, if possible, thecup, Judas, the betrayer, and his party left Jerusalem for the purpose of arresting him. Just as our Saviour finished praying the third time the arresting party came in sight. The composition of the party which came out from Jerusalem to arrest our Saviour is worthy of careful study. The first thing that impresses itself upon the mind is, that there was "a great multitude." For about three years Jesus had been publicly teaching multitudes of people in every section of northern Palestine and in the region of country east of the Jordan, and never in a single instance, so far as either friend or foe had testified, had he ever violated any one of the ten precepts of the moral law, or manifested a disposition to rebel against the lloman authorities. He had gathered about him a large number of followers, but generally they were poor people, with very little influence either in the ecclesiastical or political affairs of the nation. There was nothing in the life of either Jahiir or his followers which COUld suggest a rebellion. At the time that the party went out to make the arrest there were with Jesus only the eleven apostles. Judas knew this. He knew that these apostles were peaceable men and unarmed. He knew that they were in no condition to make a successful resistance against half a dozen armed men. It was late at night, and, humanly speaking, Jesus had no opportunity to collect a band of men and arm them. All things considered, it is marvelously strange that a great multitude should be gathered together and armed with swords and staves to take twelve men in whom there had never been exhibited the shadow of military daring. What Judas said to tho chief priests and elders of the people about the danger and difficulty attendingthe arrest ot Jesus, we can only conjecture. The same may be said about what the chief priests and elders thought about the undertaking. Evidently, however, they thought it was a hazardous undertaking, or they never would have sent out a great multitude in the middle of the night to effect it. The fair inference is that the chief priests and elders of the people, although they knew Jesus was neither a rebel nor a robber, were afraid of him. "A guilty conscience makes cowards of us all." This great multitude, John informs us, was made up of a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. The band of men was, most probably, a Roman cohort, or part of a cohort. The officers from the chief priests and Pharisees were individuals who waited on the chief priests and Pharisees. They were Levites, a great number of whom were collected about the temple engaged in menial service, and were under the control of the chief priests. In addition to this we may well suppose that many of the idle rabble of the city joined the party. We may well imagine that the chief priests and Pharisees went to the officer in command of the Roman soldiers and reported that a band of outlaws, led by Jesus of Nazareth, had been that day in the city of Jerusalem, and had matured a plan by which to make a robbery of fearful proportions. No doubt these chief priests reported to the Roman commander that Judas Iscariot, one of the band, had been won over, by thirty pieces of silver, to reveal all the plans of Jesus, the leader of this band of outlaws. Some such conjecture as this is suggested by the question of our Saviour to the party which came out to arrest him. "Are ye," he asked, "come out as against ^ robber, with swords and staves, to take me." The chief priests could very easily persuade the Roman commander that a band of outlaws had congregated in the vicinity of Jerusalem, since the region of country between Jerusalem and Jericho was a common haunt of robbers. The leader of the arresting party was Judas Iscariot. He was not the commander, but simply the guide. He knew where Jesus and the eleven apostles would, in all probability, go as soon as they had finished eating the paschal lamb. Judas knew that Jesus, for some reason, never spent the night in the city of Jerusalem, but always went out into the country?very frequently toGethsemane?in which place he seems to have spent the night in the open air. Besides swords and staves the arresting party bore lanterns and torches. This fact | is mentioned only by John. What use it I was designed to make of the lanterns and i torches we can only conjecture. Evident| ly they were not borne for the sake of i light, because it was at the time of the ; passover, and the passover was always ob: served at the time of the full moon. The probability is that the Roman soldiers went out with the distinct understanding that the force was organized to capture I Jesus of Nazareth, who was reported to i them as the leader of a notorious band of robbers. Such being the case they suspected that they would find Jesus and his party hid away in some cave or among the rocks. The lanterns and torches they de! signed using in examining these dark I places. It seems that Jesus was personally not well known to the leaders of the arresting party. This is pot strange. Jesus was not frequently in Jerusalem. He spent most of the three years of his public ministry in the northern part of Palestine. Capernaum, on the north-west corner of j the Sea of Galilee, wasthecity in which he ; spent most of his time. The early part of I his life was spent in the obscure town of I Nazareth. Hence we may well suppose j ; that while his fame had spread far and | | wide over the whole land, but few persons, | comparatively, had seen him. This was j : true of those persons living south of Jeru-1 ! salem. Jesus never went to Jerusalem except on the occasion of some national i feast, and then while many would hear of him but few would see him, and of j ! these few some would be Jews from for-' eign lands. The commander of the band ! | of Roman soldiers, who was, most proba-1 j bly, the commander of the whole party, j very likely had never heard of Jesus, or if he had heard of him, such was the con-! tempt in which the Jews were held by the Romans that he regarded all that he had heard about Jesus as Jewish vagaries. Judas, the betrayer, engaged to point out him, whom he had so recently called master, to the officers in charge of the arresting party. The agreement was that Judas was toapproach Jesus and kiss him. Accordingly when the party reached Gethsemane Jesus and his eleven disciples met, them and Judas went up to Jesus and said "Hail, Master;" and kissed him. What j a picture of inuate depravity of the hu- > man heart! Judas knew perfectly well : that JeSus was no robber. He was con-1 scious that he himself was a thief, but he had the best evidence that Jesus Christ was holy, harmless and separate from sin , in every shape and form.- He betrayed his j master with a kiss! 2s o language can des- ! cribe this act. It was as mean as it was wicked. Let us remember, however, that Judas was a God-forsaken man, and that for eighteen dollars he betrayed his master ; with a kiss, and that what Judas Iscariot did any God-forsaken man may do, if not restrained by preventing grace. Immediately after Jesus had been pointed out by Judas, he asked, "Whom seek ye ?" "They," most probably the Roman officer answered, "Jesus of Nazareth." Our Saviour promptly replied, "I am Je sua of Nazareth."* The officer seems to have been astonished. He had gone out, as he understood, to take Jesus of Nazareth, the leader of a gang of robbers, and now the man stands before him and confesses that he is Jesus of Nazareth. Instead of finding, him surrounded by a band of daring men, he finds only eleven, and these, with one exception, without a single weapon, either offensive or defensive. He saw at once that Jesus of Nazareth was not an outlaw. Not only so, but "they went backward and fell to the ground." Whether "they," in this place, means the whole arresting party or only the leaders, cannot be well determined. In either case a great miracle was performed.* But a moment beforo this, Peter, who seems to have had the only sword in the party of Jesus, drew it and cutoff the ear of Malchus. Jesus touched the ear and healed it. This was an act of mercy, but the causing of the arresting party, either as a whole or in part, to go away backward, was to show them that he was only in their power because he voluntarily chose to be. It was to show tjpfcn} that he could pray to his Father and he, in answer to his prayer, would send more than twelve legions of angels to his rescue. It was as much as to say, "What care I for your Roman cohort or your officers of Jewish chief priests and Pharisees? I am able to cover the Mount of Olives, not with cohorts, but with legions of angels. It seems marvelous that under the circumstances the Roman soldiers did not return to the city and report the truth respecting the whole affair. It may be that being soldiers they felt that it was their duty to obey. They had been sent out to arrest Jesus of Nazareth, and although they were convinced that he was not what the chief priests and Pharisees reported him to be, still as soldiers, they felt it their duty to obey orders. Accordingly they took Jesus and bound him. This was strange. Why bind a single man when there was a cohort of Roman soldiers to guard him, and what good would it do to bind a man who had power to heal instantlv. bv a touch, an ear that had been cut off; or drive those who had come out to arrest him, backward and cause them to fall upon the ground ? The arresting party seems to have been completely paralyzed when our Saviour declared himself Jesus of Nazareth. Hence he asked them again whom they sought, and when they replied, Jesus of Nazareth, he said, "I told you I am he. If, therefore, ye seek me, let these go their way." There was power in this petition. No effort was made to do any violence to the eleven, but they all, in a few minutes, fled. Viewed in a legal point of view, the arrest of Jesus was unlawful. All the forms of law were ignored, and he who, viewed simply as a man, had lived a peaceable life, was assaulted in the dark and silent hours of the night by a multitude. Had Jesus been a Roman citizen or had the Romans had any respect for the Jews, the chief priests and Pharisees would have been held accountable for the arrest of Jesus. But all this occurred that the purposes of God might be fulfilled. It should be remembered, however, that it was a great sin for the chief priests and Pharisees and for Judas Iscariot to act as they did. a *4KlH6 POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
