tumorous gepartment. A CONTENTED DARKEY. . A physician while strolling through the wooas near Jacksonville, Fla.,. says the Arkansaw Traveler, heard a peculiar noise, and lookiDg about him discovered an old negro sitting on a log, humming a tune. The physician approached the old negro, and said: "You seem to be happy, old man." "' Wall, sah, I ain't got nuthin' ter 'plain erbout." "Do you not know that yellow fever is raging all around you ?" "Ought ter know it, sah, when I dun buried my wife yistidy." "Then how can you sit around here and sing?" "Dis yere is God's worl', ain't it?" "I suppose so." "An' 1 b'longs ter God, doan I ?" "Yes." "Wall, ef de Lawd puts it in my heart ter sing, I doan see why I oughter keep my mouf shet." "Are you not afraid of taking the fever ?" "Whut'sde use'n bein' erfeerd? Ef de Lawd wants me ter take it, I will, an' ef He doan, I ain't, dat's all; an', 'sides dat, I ain't gwine ter take it no quicker ef I singl; I lay you mer go 'roun' dat town now, an' you'll fin' mos' o' de folks whut's got de feber didn't sing er tall." "I don't see," said the amused physician, "how you can feel disposed to sing when your wife was buried only yesterday." "No, sah; caze you didn' know dat lady like I did." "Didn't you get along well together?" "Didn' git erlong tergeder ez well ez we did erpart, sah." "What was the trouble?" "0, wall, sir, I is er Baptis' an' she wuz one o' deze yere blind Meferdis.

"No, sah, I kain't say I does." "Isn't your name Reuben White ?" "Dat's my nomination, sah." "Didn't I see you some time ago going around asking for work ?" "You mout; yes, sah." "Why did you want work then?" "Had ter work den ter git suthin' ter eat." "Well, but don't you have to eat now ?" "Yes, but I do*n hatter wuck fur it.

A Charming Widow.?Husband and wife had a little tiff. He buried -his nose . in a morning paper, while she gazed out r of the car-window with persistent intentness. Thus an hour and thirty, minutes passed. Alady entered the car. Husband dropped his paper and looked at her admiringly. "Ah," he said, "that's a fine woman. And a widow, too. Don't you think she's handsome ?" "Yes, rather. You seem to like widows." "Indeed I do. They're just charming." Husband evidently thought this would pique his partner. But it didn't. "Alfred," said she, tenderly, placing her hand softly on his arm, "Alfred, I guessi was in the wrong a little while ago, when I became angry at you, and I'm sorry, so sorry. Will you forgive your little wifey ?" "Certainly. Don't say another word about it." "And will you grant a little request I have to make of you, hubby, dear ?" "Of course. Anything that lies in my power." _ "You say you think widows are charming?", "Yes$ I did say so, but?" "Tbeu make me one; that's a good husband mine. O I shall be so happy!" Not the Same Fiddle.?The Hon. Oliver H. Smith relates that he was once A 1: * " IahaIit nunt of TnHl iraveiiu^ iiiiuugu a iuucij pan ana in company with the Governor of the State. After riding all day they came after dark to the cabin where they meant to spend the night. As we rode up and dismounted, the sound of a violin saluted us. Entering the cabin, we saw sitting before the fire a lame young man by the name of Amos Dille, with an old violin in his hand, pcraping away, making anything but music. He laid the violin on the bed, and started with our horses toward the stable. As he closed the door, Governor Whitcomb took up the instrument, put it in tune, and when Amos returned was playing light and beautiful airs. Amos took his seat by me, seemingly entranced, and as Mr. Whitcomb struck up "Hail Columbia" he sprang to his feet. "If I had fifty dollars," he exclaimed, "I'd give it every cent for that fiddle! I never heard such music in my life." After playing several other tunes, Mr. Whitcomb put the violin back upon the bed. Amos seized, it carried it to the fire where he could see it, turned it over and over, examined every part of it again and again, and then called out: "I say, mister, I never saw two fiddles look so much alike*as yours and mine!" ^"An Albany lady tells of an abnormally bright boy in Amsterdam, who called at the house of an aunt, where he felt at liberty to do about as he pleased. There were some beautiful oranges in sight. The lady had evidently forgotten that boys are always hungry, and did not offer him one; perhaps she had forgotten there were any in the house. The young visitor concluded that something would have to be done, and said, "Auntie, please give me an orange." She told him she hadn't any oranges, to which he promptly replied, "You lie!" Frightened to think how it sounded, he ran home and told his mother, who immediately sent him back to apologize. The young man improved matters by saying, "Auntie, I am very sorry for what I said to you, but?but, auntie, you did lie." |gy A small New Yorker had been having a day of unmitigated outrageousness, such as all children who do not die young are likely to have at times; and when he was ready for bed his mother said to him, "When you say your prayers, Georgie, ask God to make you a better boy. You have been very naughty to day." The youngster accordingly put up his petitions in the usual form, and then before closing with "Amen" he added : "And please, God, make me a good boy." He paused a second, and then, to the utter consternation of his mother, concluded, with unabated gravity, "Nevertheless, not my will, O Lord, but thine be done." J6T As illustrative of the average negro character, a gentleman said that an old negro woman, made application for the loan of five dollars. He lent her the money, and, true to her promise, she returned it. That was several years since, and every time she has seen him since she would accost him with the salutation, "Mr. Blank, you loaned me five dollars, didn't you?" "Yes." "Well, I paid it ! back, didn't I?" "That you did."! "Well, don't you think you oughter give me a quarter?" The gentleman said he i generally thought so, and that he had re- j sponded to her calls cheerfully. 16?* Little Louise Arnold, aged five, before going tochurch, was told by her mam-1 ma to be sure to remember the text, which chanced to be, "Why halt ye between two opinions?

The dewdrop glows like a precious gem ; Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning, But she's never a moment to look at them. The men are wanting their breakfast early; She must not linger, she must not wait; For words that are sharp and looks that are surly Are what men give when meals are late. Oh ! glorious color the clouds are turning, If she could but look over the hills and trees ! But here are the dishes, and here is the churning? Those things must always yield to these. The world is filled with the wine of beauty, If she could but pause and drink it in ; But pleasure she says must wait for dutyNeglected work is committed sin. The day grows hot and her hand grows weary ; Oh! for au hour to cool her head, Out with the birds in the wind so cheery ! But she must get dinner and bake the bread. The busy men in the hay-field working, If they saw her sitting with idle hand, Would think her lazv and call it shirking, * mtvko t.hem understand. illlU OUOLI^TVl V\' ??V They do not know that the heart within her Hungers for beauty and things sublime ; They only know that they want their dinner, Plenty of it, and just "on time." And after sweeping and churning and baking, And dinner dishes are put by, She sits and sews, though her head is aching, Till time for supper and chores draws nigh. Her boys at school must look like others. She says, as she patches their frocks and hose; For the world is quick to censure mothers For the least neglect of children's clothes. Her husband comes from the field of labor, He gives uo praise to his weary wife, Sh8's done no more than has her neighbor; 'Tis the lot of all in country life. But after the strife and weary tussle With life is done, and she lies at rest, The nation's brain and heart and muscle? Her sons and daughters?shall call her blest. And I think the sweetest joys of heaven, The rarest bliss of eternal life, And the fairest crown of all, will be given Unto the wayworn farmer's wife. ? COLDS-HOW TO CURE THEM. Medicines will not cure colds. Opening the skin is important, but the principal means is a reduction of food. You have eaten meats twice a day. Eat none for two or three days if the cold lasts so long. Use only plain, unstimulating vegetable food, drink plenty of water on rising and on lying downj and keep your feet and legs warm by friction and a frequent change in your woolen stockings, say twice a day. This last is important. That wise physician, Dr. D. A. Gorton, says: "How much individual health depends on the sanitary regulations of the household. The prescriptions of the best physicians are often insignificant, compared with the virtues of hygiene; indeed, ignorant or neglectful parentsaud nurses, and unwholesme surroundings, frequently defeat the purpose of the wisest medical ad,"d'" ronHpp inonprfttive. or worse. VIOC/lf (*UU AVMVIVk remedies of undoubted timely virtue. But more than this, a host of the worst disorders, by the neglect of wholesome precautions, are endangered within the household. A leaky drain, defective ventilation, or a neglected sink or water-closet, produce more cholera and typhus than were ever dispensed by a mysterious providence. The foul air of a cess-pool is more to be dreaded than the fumes of the bottomless pit." "I knew a whole family of small children, a few years ago, swept away to the unknown by an alleged providential dispensation?dysentery. The location of the family was unexceptionable, high, dry and sunny. It was in the month of August; a dry season. There seemed to be no reason to impeach the allegation against Providence, until, walking through a side yard that had been a favorite resort of the children, a cess-pool was discovered that had been obstructed all summer. Verily, Providence was merciful to that family. Instead of being charged with the death of the innocents, he should have been gratefully thanked for preserving the survivors."? [Dio Lewis. DARK SWINE PREFERRED. * Some forty odd years ago, when I first began to execute orders given me by the Southern planters, they required, with rare exceptions, white swine. I told them the dark colored would prove the most hardy and thrifty for their hot climate, the same as negroes over white men. But I could at first persuade only a few to adopt my opinion and take Berkshire, Essex or Neapolitan, in preference to Suffolk, Prince Albert, Yorkshire, Irish Grazier and Chester County?these last five being the popular white pigs of that day. But my Southern friends soon found that all of these five were subject to scurf, mange, and other disagreeable cutaneous diseases, which the black or dark spotted pigs escaped entirely, and always wore a healthy, clean, glossy hide. The planters began to change their orders, and in the course of a few years would hardly accept white pigs from the North, of even the finest breeds, In mnof nthor nurta nf t.hf? US <X ^Ul? AU UIV/?JW WIIV? ?W w. United States a deep prejudice prevailed against black and dark spotted swine, and few would*breed them. Pork packers were especially opposed to them, because, they said, the skin was dark, and yet this would generally scrape to white when the came to dress it. However, time went on, and as breeders gradually found out, North, East and West, the same objection to white swine which had taken place at the South, they began rapidly to change the color ot their stock, arid now few white hogs are found in the Chicago, or other great markets of the West, the general run being on the Berkshire, the Poland China, and Essex. Indeed so much more favorably are darkcolored swine considered there, that they have been gradually breeding out the white spots of the first two sorts above, and now they are almost entirely black or very dark brown, like the Essex and Neapolitan. All these swine are very thrifty, and mature early. The Berkshire and Poland China are especially hardy?can endure any extreme of climate, from the coldest to the hottest. The Berkshire is famous for its larger proportion of tehder, lean, juicy meat, and is consequently greatly preferred for smoked hams, shoulders and bacon. The three othersortscut up choice, fat pork, whicb is most desirable to salt and barrel.?[New York Tribune. Stock Should be Stabled in Winter.?I think that all kinds of stock shoud be stabled, and the warmer the stables are, the better, provided they are well ventilated. Keeping stock dry and warm is as important as good feeding. It assists in keeping the animals healthy, and it saves food also. If animals are stabled, they will make manure enough to pay for feeding and caring for them. Besides, keepiug stock warm and comfortable is more humane and consistent with Christian principles. I think that a man, who will naif starve and half freeze his animals all the winter through is very little of a Christian and a very poor economist. Stock of all kinds should not only be well fed and made comfortable, but they should be well supplied with pure water. If an animal is worth keeping at all, it is worth being well fed and cared for. Good feeding will not only secure a better price for the animal, but will produce more growth nnmnnf nf fnnfl PnOSilllTied. All iUi luc auiuuLi v w* jivvv* young animals should be fed some grain or meal, for if a thrifty growth is started while young, they nearly always keep it; while if stunted when young, they will never grow out of it. f. m. ii. Variety in Meals.?Nothing is more unsatisfactory than to sit down day after day to the same bill of fare. There are houses where the mistress seems to have no inventive faculty, acquired or innate. Breakfast consists from Monday until Saturday of the same fried pork and potatoes, or sausage and cakes. Remnants of things come on again and again, growing small by degrees, till one grows tired of seeing the dish of apple sauce or the saucer of prunes, and is tempted to give them to the dog or pigs. All this can be remedied by a little pains. Manage your own family as if you had guests, and vary the arrangement of your table and the articles of your diet. Health will be preserved thus and dyspepsia averted.?[Methodist Protestant. titatberingis. B@T Of the 19,912 patents issued last year, 1,083 were granted to Southerners.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS CONTEMPLATED. Reduction in Price to Clubs. $100.00 IN PREMIUMS TO CLUB-MAKERS. Prospectus for 188#. WITH the opening of the new year, THE ENQUIRER will be increased in size, the enlargement of the sheet on which it will be printed admitting of an additional amount of matter equivalent to SIX COLUMNS MORE than is furnished in its present form. With better facilities than we have ever before possessed, and desiring to largely increase the circulation of the paper, we have decided to REDUCE THE PRICE to yearly SUBSCRIBERS IN CLUBS, and also of subscriptions for shorter periods. The features of THE ENQUIRER, which have been distinctive for nearly thirty-five years, will be continued in the future, while I nonrottMnlimm will ha nrlrlnrl. it hftinc our de termination to increase and maintain the popularity of the paper with the masses of the people, and especially those of York county. With this idea in view, we shall devote especial attention to the BUSINESS ADVANTAGES and NATURAL RESOURCES possessed by York county?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and in employing our columns in the development of these. The completion of an important line of railroad, traversing the entire length from east to west of the county, will add new life and animation all along the line of its route, while its beneficial effects will be perceptible throughout the county. It renders possible the inauguration of new enterprises and the better development of the hidden wealth of our county, in the accomplishing of which THE ENQUI RER, as in the past, will ever be a ready and cheerful instrument. OUR PREMIUM PLAN. Recognizing the fact that it is frequently the case that the premiums we have heretofore offered for the largest clubs are not suited to the wants of those to whom they are awarded, we have decided to offer only CASH PREMIUMS for the five largest clubs as follows: For the largest club for one year, $35; for the second largest clubs, $25; for the third largest club, $15 ; for the fourth largest club, $10; and for the fifth largest club, $5. CONDITIONS. These cash premiums will be awarded on the following conditions: To the persons getting up clubs of subscribers I to the ENQUIRER, at $1.75 per annum for each subscriber, will be awarded the premiums as stated above. The time for completing the clubs under the above offer is limited to 1 o'clock P. M., on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1880. Competitors may begin to secure SUBSCRIBERS AT ONCE?the time of subscription to commence whenever the name is handed in. The money for eafch subscriber is expected to be paid at the time the name is entered upon our books, and no name will be counted in competition for a premium and no premium delivered until the subscription price has been paid. To persons who make up clubs of ten or more names, but who may fail to obtain one of the above premiums, we will send the ENQUIRER for one year free of charge, and to those who send a club of twenty or more names, but who may fail to get a premium, we will forward t.hft ENQUIRER one vear freo of charge, and a copy, one year, of any weekly newspaBer or monthly magazine published in the rnited States, the publication to be selected by the person entitled to receive it. Or, we will Rive a copy of the ENQUIRER for one year for a club of ten, and for all names over tjn in such clubs, TWENTY CENTS for each name. It is not necessary that the names of a club should all be at the same post office. Names may be taken at any number of places. One name for two years will be equivalent to two names for one year each. All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expenso of those sending them. We will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when sent by draft, registered letter or money order drawn on the Yorkville post office. In sending names, write plainly, giving postoffice, county and State. All subscriptions will be discontinued at the expiration of the time paid for. A separate list will be kept for each clubmaker, wbo will be credited with every name sent, so that the number sent by any one person can be ascertained at a moment's notice. Persons who commence making clubs will not be permitted, after the names have been entered on our books, to transfer the names to another club-maker's list. USSr- The time in which additions may be made to clubs under this proposition, will expire on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1880. Therefore, persons who desire the benefit of club rates, mustsubscribe and pay for the paper before that date, as after the expiration of that time it will not be furnished for less than $2.00 unless new clubs are formed.
