UttmoMMsi Department. A SHARP TRADE. Boys, did I ever tell you how we got the whisky from old man Swartz and his old 'oman way down on the Congaree rlvdr, nigh the old "Bed Store?" No? Well, here goes. Now, Bill you give me a light and stop rolling your durned eyes at me, for what I am going to nirate is a gospel fact, though I know it don't sound like the truth ana may look unreasonable like. Well, now, I own our crowd was none of Jrour religious kind, and they were always n for fun, but a better-hearted set of boys never lived. There was Jonathan, Tom and Fred Kaigler, who were brothers and as good old Confederate soldiers as ever fired a gun. Then there was Tie and Socratise Seitler and myself, and a yallow nSfMAw namo/1 fionff wKa Korl run arith 11Q uauivu uvvvv u nv uuu iuu **?? boys ever since we were all kids. He had gone through the war as cook for our mess, ar.d still stuck to his youDg masters after defeat came, and the bond of attachment between the boys and old Scott was something beautiful to see. You see we were farming down on that rich bottom land together, and if we did not make a fortune we had our share of fun, and the tricks we used to practice was amazing. Well, I will go on about our plan to fool old man Swartz and his old 'oman. We were going on a big hunt, and at the last minute found that our whisky had gin out, and as hit was twenty-four miles to town, and a mighty poorchance to git thar, we jist sit thar and each fellow gin his views of some plan or other wharby we could raise the desired stuff, and after each one of us had had his say, the nigger, SCott, says to me, "Mass Fullor, I knows whar there is a lot of whisky, if you can git it. Old Mr. Swartz he has a five gallon keg, or leastwise old Miss Swartz gin me a drink for fetching her some things from town 'tuther day, and the keg was nigh full then." Now, we all knowed that thar was but little chance to persuade the old man or 'oman to sell us any, and you could borrow nothing from him. Now, we sot thar, and all of us studied up some plan. At last Tom Keigler he says, says he: "You all knows wnata fool that old 'oman is on all kinds of new-fangled seeds and plants. Well, 1 have the very plan to git that bug juice with," and Tom 'lowed if it did not fetch the licker he would treat next time we went to town. Well, boys, he and the nigger went out, and arter a while they come {n all smiles, and Tom he had dug up a bigstork of corn by the roots, and he and the nigger had fastened nigh a peck of sweet 'taters on them roots, and the job was so neat that you would have swore that they growed thar naturally. He then took a bunch of rice that had just bin cut and he fastened hit on the top of that corn, and hit looked just like the tassels on top of the corn, and to see the ingeniousness of them cusses would have astonished you. We boys sot thar wondering what the pair of fools was up to. Well, arter Tom had scrutinized the whole thing, he 'lowed that he bet tbat would do the business, sure-pop. So, he and the nigger, otortaH nff dnu/n f.hft rn?d in the di kTVV/lfcj OVUt WU vu V?v ff vuv rection of old man Swartz's. When he and the nigger got by the gate, he seed the old man and 'oman at the door, when Tom says, "Good morning Mr. Swartz; can I git a drink of that good water of your'n?" They axed him in, when Tom he says to the nigger: "Look out thar, Scott, don't drop that stalk." That raised the old woman's curiosity, and says she: "Mr. Tom, what in the name of goodness is that Scott is got?" Tom 'lowed it was the great discovery of the age, and hit was a new kind of Indian corn that had been discovered on an island in the Indian Ocean and, says Tom, "Every grain is worth hit's weight in gold." He 'lowed to that old 'oman that each stalk would produce nigh onto a half peck of sweet taters on the roots. He says: "Mrs. Swartz, jist look?these is yams, real yams. Now," says he, "them stalks, most in generally, has about six years of corn ; but you see these broke off"?at the same time taking some out of his pocket. "Mass Tom," says Scott, "you hain't said nuthin' 'bout the rice on the top." "Well, well, says Tom, "I had nigh forgot that. Just you look here, Mrs. Swartz," says he, as he pulls off a hand full of the straw and shells out the rice. "Now, hain't it the discovery of the age??nigh onto a pint of rice on each stalk." Well, oid Miss Swartz she was nigh onto being stupefied, and 'lowed the likes never was seed afore. Well, Scott says: "Mass Tom, we must be going," and he made out that he was in a powerful hurry, all of a sudden. "Mr. Tom," says the old 'oman, "what is the chance of gitting some of them seed?" Tom 'lowed that they was mighty scaee, and he was on the way to the Ked Store to meet old man Hill, who was to bring him a couple of gallons of whisky for the lot of seed, but he hated powerful to walk that fur for the vhisky. Well, to make the matter short, them cusses traded what they had to that old 'oman for two gallons of whisky and a jug to put hit in. Now, boys, Tom and that nigger could not be beat no how in a trade. When we seed them cusses coming back Tis Sightler 'lowed that they had been tripped up for once. Jonathan Keigler 'lowed the nigger had something, and sure enough in he comes with the jug. I have drunk lots of whisky in my lifetime, but durned if I ever struck such stuff afore; hit was made out of sorghum cane, and would kill a half mile ; and since we got overdrinking that stuff I have come to the conclusion that that old 'oman got the best of the trade after all. Cross Examined.?-"Well, Mariah, how did you come out yesterday?" asked a country matron of a cuony who had acted as witness in an important case. "I guess, if the truth was told, I came out of the little end of the horn," said Mariah, frankly. They mixed me all up so't I couldn't tell whether I was afoot or on horseback." "Couldn't you tell a plain story ?" "I thought I could, but they took terrible % pains to confuse me. Why the upshot of it was, I even said I was married in '30; and born in '53!" "Now how came you to do such a thing as that, Mariah ? I al'ays thot you was real clear-headed." "I tell you what 'tis, it don't do no good to be clear-headed when there's somebody bright as a dollar trying to make you think black's white, and blue's green." "Hid they cross-examine you?" "Cross-examine me? I guess they did. They' most snapped my head off!" J?*-Here is a good bit from real life: "Jurors with excuses can now present AU-rv1?

"Your Honor," he said, "I can't leave my business. If I do I will be discharged." "No, you will not," replied Judge Ingraham: "If your employer threatens to discharge you, just come and tell me, and I will have him brought here. No man shall be discharged fordoing jury duty, with my knowledge." The little man didn't seem satislied. "Now doas I say," continued Judge Ingraham. "Who is your employer, anyway?" "My wife," sadly responded the juror. A discussion arose on board an Atlantic liner a short time ago as to the citizenship of a gentleman at the other end of the saloon. "He's an Englishman," said one; "I know by his head." "He's a Scotchman," said another; "I know by his complexion." "He's a German," said another; "I know by his beard." The young ladies thought he looked a little Spanish. Here the conversation rested, but soon one of them spoke: "I have it," said she; "he's an American; he's got his legs on the table." His Choice.?A teacher in the primary department of a village school asked the children to name the fruit each one liked best. One liked peaches, another pears, a third grapes, and so on until a little fellow at the foot of the class was reached. Almost every kind of fruit known to juvenile minds had been named two or three times, but Tommy, with a smack of his lips, indicated his choice by saying, "Mashed teters, ma'am!"

To clean tinware, dampen a cloth and dip in soda and rub the ware briskly, after which wipe dry. One teacup full of ammonia to a teacup of water applied with a rag will clean silver or gold jewelry perfectly. Cut a good supply of wood and allow it to be well seasoned. The woman who can cook with green wood, and be pleasant with it, must be a little lower than the angels. A plate of raw sliced onions placed in a room where there is diphtheria will absorb the poison and prevent the disease from spreading. The onions should be buried every morning and fresh ones cut up. Boil one ounce of flax seed in a pint of water; strain it and put in an ounce of rock candy, some honey and the juice of three lemons; boil again. Result?a nice old-fashioned cough medicine. Drink it hot as you can bear it. Salt dissolved in alcohol is often found a , good thing for removing grease spots from cloth. Molasses will remo\o the grass stains so often found on tt^ summer clothing of children. Rub the molasses as if it were soap on the stained place, and then wash the garment in the ordinary fashion. ,n~ ~' ? 1 V... ??? n ?>? nno lo Clean ltiuip-uumcia, mnu n \>i sal-soda the size of a walnut, put in to a quart of soft water, put your lamp-burner in it (an old tomato can is good enough), set it on the stove, after boiling for five minutes remove the burner, and when put back on the lamp will be as good as new. All the carbon of the old lamp should be removed once every month. To keep your wicks from smoking, immerse in strong vinegar, dry them thoroughly, and you will be surprised to see what a nice, clear light you will have. Drinking in the Field.?Men in health perspire freely when vigorously at work on warm days. Very heavy sweating may sometimes arise from weakness; a dry skin may indicate disorder. Evaporation from the surface carries off heat and keeps the body cool. A large supply of drinking water is required for the warm haying and harvest days, but much less than is commonly supposed. Half a pint of water sipped slowly, will assuage thirst much more effectually than a quart gulped down. A pint of cold fluid of any kind, thrown into the stomach, may result in more or less congestion; serious illness, and not infrequent deaths arise from this cause. If ice-water is taken at any time, it should always be swallowed so slowly that the stomach can warm each gill before taking another. As to the kinds of drinks, the positive teachings of medical science and experience indicate that pure water is by far the best fluid for assuaging thirst and supplying the wants of the system. Beer, ale, sweetened drinks, or any fluid containing material that must be digested, are a tax upon the stomach, and tend to disorder the system. Pure water is absorbed at once into the blood, and is carried directly to those parts of the body where it is needed. If the water is bad it mav usuallv be corrected bv the addi tion of a little ginger, or ginger extract. Too much of this produces constipation, but on account of this it may be used more freely in looseness of bowels. All alcoholic drinks are unhealthful for one in active exercise; they stimulate increased efforteffort beyond one's natural strength?and unnatural exhaustion inevitably follows. ?[Pensylvania Farn^r. Cuke for Blind Staggers.?Mr. A. E. Fant, of Union county writes as follows to the Union Times : As meningetis, or blind staggers, is now prevailing as an epidemic amongst the horses in this county, several valuable animals having died, of my knowledge, and others being attacked, prompts me to make known a very efficient remedy, which X learned during the war, when a severe and fatal type attacked the horses in, I believe, the Fall of 1863. The remedy was suggested by Gen. Hampton, and proved very successful, if used in time: Throw the animal, and with a sharp stick, the size of the finger, one inch short of the length from upper angle of nostril, and lower angle of the eye, (external measure,) grasp it tight in the hand, introduce it into the nostril, making several quick, short, upward motions, until blood flows freely. Let the animal rise upon its feet and let it bleed till it becomes faint. If bleeding does not cease, plug one or both nostrils with old rags. If this does not succeed in arresting the bleeding blow into the nostrils finely pulverized sulphate of iron. Hoping this may prove a blessing to some of my fellow beings, prompts me to make it known. Grafting and Budding.?How to graft and bud is something that every farmer should know. I will give my way of grafting. The proper time is just before the leaves come out in the month of April. This is the time for apples and pears. Cherry-trees should be grafted earlier?as early as the weather will admit. In grafting large trees, no graft should be inserted into a limb over one and one half, inches in diameter. Great care should be taken to have the inside of stock and inside of bark of graft to come in even contact. To make your grafting wax take four pounds of resin, two pounds of beeswax and one pound of tallow and melt them together. In budding young peach-trees select the period when the leaves begin to turn a little yellow; in this latitude about the middle of September. I bud at the time of the new moon, doing the work low down, and covering up with the ground. Utilizing Crows.?A Pennsylvania farmer has turned the crows to a good account. He makes them allies in his work. Writing to the American Agriculturist, he says: "For the past five seasons I have, just before I expected my corn to come up, sowed on the field about a quart of corn to each acre, and repeated the operation as often as necessary, until the corn was so large that the crows could not pull it up. If the corn is soaked until tender, they prefer picking what they want to eat from the surface rather than to pull up the young plants to get it. The cost of the corn thus sown is but a trifle; and as a result I have a great number of crows almost constantly on my corn-field, and after they have been satisfied with corn, they will still pick up all the insects, grubs, and cut-worms they can find, as a dessert. In raising fifty acres of corn since adopting this plan, I have not lost a hundred stalks by crows and cut-worms combined." Flies.?When visiting a friend last summer he called my attention to a curious plan for preventing the plague of flies in his house. The upper sash of one of the windows in his sitting-room being open for ventilation, there was suspended outside a piece of common fishing-net. My friend told me that not a fly would venture to pass through it. He has watched for an hour at a time, and seen swarms fly to within a few inches of the net, and then, after buzzing about for a little, depart. He told me the flies would pass through the net if there was a little lightthat is another window in the opposite wall. Though the day was very warm, I did not see a single fly in the room during my visit, though elsewhere in the town they were seen in abundance. I suppose they imagine the net to be a spi- j d-AfK/ir f?<an infnnrlnil fnr i U^I ft WCU, U1 ftWIHV UUIVI * u ?yyk , their destruction. jfcaT Pigs luxuriate on clover, and will do better on it than any other feed. If cut and thrown into the pen fresh twice a day, they will do better than to let them run in the patch, and they will not destroy near so much. If they run in the patch they will tramp down and root up more than they eat. When fed in the pen, what they do not eat makes an excellent manure, and that is where the economy of the plan comes in. fta?" An experimenter with strawberries jsays: "Last year I procured half a hogs! head, filled it with rain-water, and put I into it one-quarter pound of ammonia, and j one-quarter pound of common nitre. When ; the strawberry plants were blossoming j out, I gave them a sprinkling of the solu! tion at evening, twice a week, until the I fruit was nearly ripe. The result was j double the amount of fruit on those where ' the liquid was applied." Weeds in the Garden.?Never let the ; weeds get an inch high. Go over the beds once s week with a steel rake; the crops will grow faster and the weeds will not get a start. A few hours spent in this way will save days of weeding after the weeds have been allowed to get several inches high, by which time they will also have retarded the growth of the crops.

The big steamships which ply between New York and Europe carry on each trip across the Atlantic a little city of people. Two thousand persons sometimes are stored away on board the floating palaces. To appease the sea sharpened appetites and assuage the thirst of this horde requires a great deal of solid and liquid food. The steward of a certain liner took on at Liverpool for the last round voyage 1,000 bottles of champaign, 9,000 of claret, 0,000 of ale, 2,000 of porter, 5,000 of mineral water and 700 of spirits. They used last year on their line of steamers 8,030 quarts and 17,013 pints of champaign. The Americans drink the greater part of the champaign. They call for five quarts cf it to one of any other nationality. They also used on that line last year 13,941 quarts and 7,310 pints of claret. This had the largest sale among the French travelers and indeed, all the passengers from the continent preferred claret. The Britishers drank the greater part of the year's supply of ale and porter, in all 480,000 bottles. This, with 175,000 bottles of mineral water, made enough liquid to ^ 1M liwnf lir llUi.il> Ullt ui men niii|Ja in. x ictv; i^uuu showing, that, in the way of wet goods, isn't it? The other vices weren't neglected. The steward says their line used last year 35,000 pounds of tobacco, 05,000 cigars and 57,000 cigarettes; the lemons used on shipboard averaged two apiece every day, apples the same, oranges leading with three apiece each day. The steward says: "We sailed from Liverpool with 517 cabin passengers and 300 in the crew. We had on board when we started 12,500 pounds of fresh beef, 700 pounds of cornea beef, 5,000 pounds of mutton, 850 pounds of lamb, 350 pounds of veal, 350 pounds of pork. There were besides 2,000 pounds of fresh fish, 600 fowls, 300 chickens, 100 ducks, 50 geese, 80 turkeys, 200 brace of grouse, 15 tons of potatoes, 30 hampers of vegetables, 280 quarts of ice cream, 1,000 quarts of milk, 11,500 eggs.

You can form from that list of figures what it costs to victual the vessel for every voyage. "My figures are not done yet. This line uses 20,000 tons of ice every year, and an average of 1,000 tons of coal every day. They use 104,000 gallons of engine oil for one item, and an average of four pounds of meat a minute, or over 2,000,000 pounds a year. They use 22 pounds of raisins and currants, over 1,000,000 eggs, theaverahe being one every minute. They use 1'. tons of mustard, 13 tons of pears, 17 tons of rice and 4G0 tons of flour, exclusive of the 50,000 loaves of bread. They use 15 tons of cheese and 10 of yellow soap, not counting the toilet soap. These are only the figures of one line, and there are many. [Indianapolis News. ABOUT COTTON IIAMINO.

C., and i tlnd all parties either wholly ignorant or reticent as to what is going on in that line." "Well, what would you suggest should be done under the circumstances?" "If their attention has not been already called thereto it is important, in view of the fact that they meet on the 4th of April, that the Alliance should take some steps at once concerning this matter. It would be disastrous should they be caught nap piagain, as was tne case last mn. "Do you think it would be likely to be worse for them than it was then ?" "Of course I do. The combine among the jute manufacturers then formed will I strengthen, not weaken by age, and in- j stead of paying fourteen cents for bagging, j the farmer may be driven to a large ad- | vance on that exorbitant price." "In tha t event, what, in your opinion, i would be the remedy?" "The only remedy I know of is for the ; organized farmers, through mills of their own, to engage in the manufacture of pine straw bagging, particulary if, after investigation, it is found that sufficient capital is not already invested in that now important brauch of industry." "Do you think nothing else could bo I substituted for the pine straw?" "Oh, yes, many other things would do J quite as well, perhaps even better. You J will probably remember the Odenheimer j cotton bagging, which was manufactured ; in New Orleans last fall, was used then to the extent of the mill's capacity, which capacity was only about 15,000 yards per day. It was then considered a good substitute for jute, some even preferring it to jute. The Lanier mills, near West Point, manufactured a kind of duck, also made of cotton, which answered a good purpose and was used to the extent of the mill's I capacity, but both of these fabrics are sold at figures too high for the farmers. I was told by an operator at the Augusta Kxpo- j sition that they would be able to produce the pine straw bagging at eight cents per yard. "Probably for a new industry this might be considered a fair price. Certainly preferable to jute at 14 cents, or Odenheimer \t 13 cents. Again, unless something like the straw is used?which is fully up in the matter of weight?a readjustment of the tare would be necessary. "For these two considerations, if no other, I rather lean to the use of the straw bagging." "What amount of this bagging would be necessary to clothe the cotton crop of the South?" "That question is very easy to answer. Allowing six yards to the hale, it would take 3(5,000,000 yards to clothe 0,000,000 of bales, which is aproximately the crop of the South. The crop was larger last year by 1,000,000 of bales." "You know then, of no other material at the South of which bagging could be made?" "Oh, yes, a number of them. The Spanish maguey, a sample of which is now in my oflice, affords a fibre superior by far to pine straw or even jute. Thelmnanna leaf is also superior, in my opinion, to jute, and I am told that either of these articles can be produced at a very low figure, almost a nominal cost. A gentleman from the lower part of the State suggested during last fall that the saw palmetto from his section would make a fine substitute for jute, and latterly a gentleman while iu this office suggested Bermuda grass as being equal to any emergency." Lamps.?Oil has been burned in lamps for many centuries, but no real improve? n /\! ! lo m no nmo mudo fill n I \/\i i f I1JC7I11/ l&J vn iuiiip.1 ?rtto uiuuo i,i<t auwui; 100 years ago, or about 178:1, when M. Argand, a Swiss who lived in London, invented the cylindrical wick and burner, which has since borne his natne. Soon after the glass chimney was introduced, and lighting by oil was fully revolutionized. These two improvements multiplied the lights to be obtained from a lamp, and by producing a perfect combustion of the oil, obviated the smoke and bad odors previously inseparable from the use of oil lamps. Other improvements followed, one of the most notable being the placing of the reservoir of oil below the burner instead of above, making the lamp much more convenient. This was a discovery of Philippe Girand, a Frenchman, about 1807. Another Frenchman, Carcol, contrived a mechanism to regulate the supply of oil, but his contrivance was superceded by the moderator lamp, introduced about sixty years ago. Some further modification of lamps followed the discovery of petroleum, but these are the principal features included in the lamps of the present day, the Argand principle being substantially unchanged.?[Good Housekeeping. SSrBy the amended New Hampshire Constitution, members of the legislature will be paid a certain fixed sum,$200 each, whether the session is long or short. This is, of course, designed to prevent the representatives from living too long at the capital at the expense of the State. Illinois is troubled with a similar problem. The Constitution of 1818 provided pay of 82 a day for members of the general assembly for the first forty-two days, and $1 for every day of the session thereafter. The present constitution fixes the pay at 85 a day, without any limitation. Consequently there is much absenteeism, and the session is prolonged by frequent adjournments from Thursday to Monday. This systematic loafing at the public expense has led to the formation of an amendment, which is now pending, providing pay of 810 for the first one hundred days and $2 a day thereafter, no pay to be drawn save when members are actually present. Horses in Spectacles.?In a paper on near-sightedness read before the .New York County Medical Society, Dr. W. F. Mittendorf told of a fine horse in Berlin that became intractable, and on examination proved to be suffering from myopia. The owner had a paii^of spectacles made for it, and it became as tractable as ever. American students, Dr. Mittendorf said, are not so subject to near-sightedness as German students. Sedentary occupations and want of exercise develop myopia, and women, therefore, are likelier than men to contract it. It generally sets in in childhood ; rarely appears after twenty^one years of age. Blindness often follows neglect of it. Glasses should be worn early in life to prevent its progress. They should be rather weak than strong, and a slight blue tint is desirable. IN THE SPRING Almost everybody wants a "Spring Tonic." I Tore is a simple testimonial, which shows how It. It.

Round Mountain, Tkx., March 29, 1887. A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove them and beautify and improve her complexion ; but these local applications were only temporary and left her skin in a worse condition. I recommended an internal preparationknown as Botanic Blood Balm?which I have been using and selling about two years; she used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth and her general health much improved. She expresses herself much gratified, and can recommend it to all who are thus affected. Mrs. S. M. Wilson.
