They were . - going on a fishing excursion one day, and ; they took a gallon jug along for rum. ? When they came to pool their assets they 8 could not raise enough for even a pint of 8 the longed-for fire-water. This was a di- 8 lemma. They scratched their heads in *; dismay until one of them scratched out an ~ idea. 1 Snatching up the jug, he ran to the ? pump and filled it about naif full of water, *' and then marched into the store, and call- : ed for half a gallon of Medford. The boy : filled the measure and the man held the ! jug. When the two quarts were in, the [ boy asljed for his money, and was told to j charge it. This was refused, and a few : high words ensued, when the angry pur- J chaser said: "Very well; take the rum out, then, but 8 be dashed carefui that you don't take * more than you put in." i The boy measured out the two quarts, , and the man with a half-gallon of halfand-half marched triumphantly back to 8 his trembling companions. 1 Aeout Cyclones.?"What were you a going to say about cyclones?" she asked. * "O yes.

It will be of interest tc all railway men to be reminded that the late Mr. Allen was the first man who ever ran a railway locomotive in the United States. Mr. Allen died on January 1, at his home, near South Orange, N. J., in the 88th year of his age. lie went to CharlestonJua 1829 and remained there many years as 1mief engineer of the South Carolina railroad. Mr. Allen was married there, his bride being Miss Simons, the daughtei of the Rev. James Dewar Simons, that lady, who is still living, being the first cousiu of the Hon. James Simons, speaker of the South Carolina house of representatives. On his last trip north Mr.Simons visited Mr. Allen, and since that time received from him some rare old documents pertaining to-the old South Carolina Railroad and Canal company, as it was then called Among these papers is the original memorial to congress on the subject of the railway, and a copy of a contract between the -1-.: nn.nnnn.. T>U aitlliuiJ uvciacci auu urn tuinpauj, jliiic overseer was located at Summerville which was then the "fourth station." The following sketch and interesting incident in the history of steam will be read with great interest: Mr. Allen was graduated from Columbia college about 1820, taking high honors in mathematics. He at once turned his attention to civil engineering, and a few years later, entered the service of the Delaware and Canal company, the great engineering enterprise of the time. In January, 1828, he went to England and purchased three locomotives for that corporation. Two of them were bu;'t by George Stephenson, at Newcastle, an 1 one by Foster Itastrick & Co., at Stourbri *ge. Thej arrived in New York in the winter oi 1828t29, and were at once set up, but, the riverand canal being closed by ice, it wae not until the opening of navigation in the spring of 1829 that access was had to the railroad which had been laid for the experimental trip at Honesdale, Penn. The line rau from the town to a poini about three miles away, terminating ir the woods. The road was formed of railf of hemlock timber in sections, G by IS inches, supported by caps of timber 10 feel from centre to centre. On the surface o the rail of wood was spiked the railroad iron?a bar of roll iron 21 inches wide and half an inch thick. Fears were expressed by the crowd that had gathered to see the trial that the road would either break down under the weight of the locomotive or that, when the curve was reached the locomotive would not keep the track, The engine was called the "Stourbridge Lion." Mr. Allen in 1884 wrote the following account of the trip. "When the time came and the steam was of the right pressure and all was ready I took my position on the platform of the locomotive alone, and witn my hand or the throttle-valve handle said: 'If there is any danger in this ride it is not neces sary that the life and limbs of more thar one should be subjected to that danger, and that 'having no doubt whatever, I was about to take the ride entirely alone, and the time will come when I shall look back ? fiL 1 1 l^ iu?i :? wun great interest iu me nut; uiui is uuv\ before me.' The locomotive having nr train behind it answered at once to move' ment of the hand, and there being nc doubt as to the result a motion was had al once in which there was not any evidenct of distrust. Soon the straight line wa? run over, the curve was reached and pass' ed, before there was any time to think as to its not being passed safely, and soon J was out of sight in the three miles' ride alone into the woods of Pennsylvania. 1 had never run a locomotive nor any othei engine before; I have never run one since but on that 9th of August, 1829, I ran thai locomotive three miles and back to th( place of starting." In September, 1829, Mr. Allen went tc Charleston, S. C., as the chief engineer o the South Carolina railroad, and it was or his recommendation that locomotives wen there substituted for horse-power, Mr Allen stating in his report to the direc tors on the subject that there was "no rea son to expect any material improvemeni in the breed of horses, while, in myjudg ment, the man is not living who knowi what the breed of locomotives will plac( at command." Mr. Allen remained in Charleston foi some years. lie married, in 1834, the daughter of the Rev.

Mr. Allen retained a lively interest it railroad and other engineering matterf up to the time of his death. He leaves t widow, one son and three daughters. INFLUENZAIEARS AGO. The following extract from Dr. Ram say's History of South Carolina, in refer ence to the influenzaepidemicin this State years ago, will be read at this time with great interest. Dr. Ramsay was an emi nent physician, as well as historian. Re ferring to the disease, so fatal in its effect! in South Carolina in 1789 and 1807, he says : "Influenza, though a serious and frequent epidemic, has seldom been the sub ject of record. Many persons remembei that the influenza, after traversing the United States in 1789, reached Carolina and spread extensively. It was very fatal on the plantations near the northeastern part of the State, especially to prime and full grown negroes. William Alstoc lost about thirty-five of that description The whole mucous membrane, through ali its recesses on the insinuses e?f the asfrontis, was most greviously affected. Deafness, loss of taste and smell, for a long period were among its consequences. More have reason to remember the influenza ol 1807. Gradually advancing over the Northern States, it reached Charlestoc early in September. "It spared neither age nor sex, though children often escaDed altogether: or il attacked, pot through with the disease with the least inconvenience. The reverse was the case with aped persons. It soon became so general that in some large families there was not a sufficiency of persons in health to attend to the sick. In a few weeks it is supposed that 14,000 persons, or half the population of Charleston, had been affiicteu with the disease. Of these, forty-live died; thirteen ol whom were white persons and thirty-two negroes. The disease spread on allsidesinto the country. The mortality in Georgetown and Beaufort was considerably greater than in Charleston. The disease in many cases was so mild as to preclude the necessity of application to a physician. In dangerous cases, when medical aid was required, bleeding, blistering, emetics, cathartics, and sudorifics were chiefly relied upon. The influenza in its commencement resembled the yellow fever with a pain in and over the eyes, and with red streaks over their whites. A sharp acid scum was discharged from the eyes, and sometimes from the nostrils. In such cases a hoarseness and soreness of the throat was usual. The sense of smelling was sometimes impaired, the hearing was frequently injurI ed, and in a few cases the powers of vision I A! .vi In wiKnd A iwhfnoua a n a WtSI"C U 1 11J I U I3IICU . IX Ugiikuvuu ??tiu (I stricture across the breast, with a dry cough, was common. The whole mucous mebrane lining the fauses, nostrils, and bronchia, was uncommonly stuffed with phlegm. In the aged the disease assumed the form of a pneumonia; in the young and the plethoric, that of a pleurisy. Persons who of a consumptic diathesis, 01 who had been subject to old coughs or disease of breast, suffered most and oftenest relapsed. Spitting of blood and other precursors of consumption attacked such patients after the disease had in their cases apparently vanished and generally disappeared. An uncommon increase of consumption followed in the year 1808, which exceeded anything ever before kown ic Charleston." An Able-Bodied Man.?In 1S7G the late Calvin J. Baseby, known as the strongest man in the south, says the Arkansas Traveller, was among the passengers on a Memphis and Little Rock Railway train The train stopped in the Mississippi rivei bottoms, and the conductor who came through the car where Baseby was seated stated, upon being asked, that he did nol know how long it might be before the train could proceed : that a part of a trestle had given way, and that to repair the damage might be the work of severa hours. Baseby with a number of othei passengers, got out to look at the break. r It was found that a post supporting a " beam upon \yhieh the rail rested had been broken. i "We'll have to chop down a tree and 1 s end up a log under it," said a railroad i hand. f "No," said Baseby; "I'll hold up the i beam till the train passes over." i Those who were not disposed to laugh sneered at him; but, unruffled, he put his r I shoulder under the beam, and standing on the ground raised it into place. 0 i "Tell the engineer to go ahead," he re- j ! marked. t The engineer was standing there look- ? i ingathim. "You are a fool," he said. f "That's all right," Baseby replied, d , "Take your train over, and we'll talk t about that afterward." ; "Who are you ?" the conductor asked. J "I am Calvin Baseby." e "Jim," said the conductor, speaking to 0 the engineer, "I know him. Go ahead." li The train moved forward. As the en- 1 I gine was passing over Baseby frowned }f I just a trifle, but by the time the sleeper i1 came along he was smiling serenely. He j " I was undoubtedly an able-bodied man. a A CLOCK THAT WILL TALK. ' ? Inventor Edison has completed a phono- 't ! graphic clock which, instead of ringing g ' out the number of hours, will announce t the time of day ii. stentorian tones. It t shouts out the time every quarter of an c ' hour. As a novelty it is certain to take 1 with the people. It will prove, also, a very good office clock, but as an ornament 1 in the parlor, it is a serious question 1 whether it will be a success, especially t ' where young people are a feature of the t household. F The young man calling upon his best ? ' girl on Sunday evening would probably c ' receive a tremendous shock if he heard a t " gruff voice break in upon his loving whis- c V porjngs with the announcement that it was t 5 ''twelve o'clock." In a few moments the a ' same harsh voice would croak again the 0 ' announcement, "quarter past twelve ? [ o'clock." That very nice young man r ' would have no peace of mind till he made r 1 his escape from the house, as every quarter \ 1 of an hour the clock could be counted on F ' to shout. As an alarm clock, the inven- ^ ' tion is destined to triumph. It can be j , made to call a person at any hour of the t ' day. Instead of setting up an unearthly g 1 clattering, as the present bell alarm clock c ) now in vogue, it will, in a dignified and a ' solemn manner, shout, "John, get up; do * \ you hear me, John? Now, if you don't ? get up, I'll take the bootjack." As a kitchen clock the invention will be popular with all housekeepers. Mary, 1 the cook, can be reminded that it is lime j \ to put the oat meal on, peel the potatoes, d : and warn her not to leave the pies too c ; long in the oven. In many other ways it a ' is expected that the clock can be relied on ' as a director and'mentor in the household. 5 It will be several months before the article is put on the market, and Mr. Edison , feels quite confident of success.?[Inquirer, r c 1 A Pointed Industry.?England is the i > greatest pin-making country of the world. ^ ' Its product is something like 50,000,000 a ^ 1 year, and Birmingham is the center, with < 5 an outturn of 37,000,000. There are made c ' the pins of the old trade marks and the } great reputations, and it matters not that f America is able to produce exactly as e ' good; very many papers of these are r 1 always salable here. 1 In this country the first attempt at pin ? r manufacturing was made soon "after "the ^ war of 1812. Then, with war time prices, a paper of pins sold at one dollar, and they r were of inferior quality to pins bringing 1 now but six cents. Brass is now, as ever, 1 the most approved material used. Iron * and steel have been tried, but iron and t steel will rust. The pin trade is not grow- fe. ing. Appreciably, it has no greater volume than in 1880. The calculation was then made that every man, woman and child in the United States used 144 pins a year. Why no more are used now is explained by the fact of there being so many safety pins to take their place. These latter, in fact, form a separate business, and since their invention, eighteen years ago, have popularized rapidly. The making ' up a paper of pins?entirely by machinery j it is?is in two ways. The American j! "stuck" is fourteen rows of twenty pins t each; the English "stuck" twelve rows < of thirty pins each.?[American Analyst. A Peculiar Case.?A Baltimore dis- a patch says: An interesting case was received Thursday at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The patient has animals in the shape of snakes living in his blood. He is from Charleston, S. C., and has suffered r from his peculiar disease more or less , for twenty years. Many times his blood has been examined under the microscope, \ and the snake-shaped parasites have always been found present. The blood for examination has generally been drawn from I a finger tip. This is the first case of the kind at Jonns Hopkins Hospital, and few 1 doctors in the United States have person- j t al knowledge of the disease. Only twen-" r ty-five cases of this disease are said to have been reported in this country. * Mercenary Ohio Doctors.?Much c t indignation is being ex pressed at Findlay, j Ohio, over the fact that the physicians of that city have organized a combination l to advance the price of professional visits, now that the city is afflicted with the new and fashionable foreign epidemic. 1 Heretofore professional calls were charged for at the rate of $1 per visit. The new n combine put up the price to $1.50 a call, and as every doctor has from twenty to 1 one hundred patients afflicted with "la 1 grippe," the harvest is a magnificent one c for the profession. * r fig?*A worthy deacon in a Vermont country town was discovered by his pas- t tor, one Sunday morning, sawing an armful of wood for the kttchen stove. The surprise of the discovery caused the dea- " con to drop his saw in consternation. "I?didn't suppose you'd see me, parson !" ] he faltered. "Ah," replied the good man, J severely, "you must remember, deacon, that there is One higher than I who sees } every evil act you commit." "Yes, par- t son," assented the deacon ; "but then He c doesn't make such an awful fuss about it!" \ JKaT* A few years ago Bishop Cheney, of Chicago, was teaching a class of street i waifs. One ragged little boy was so im- t pressed with the bishop's exhortation that a he fished a higjack-knifeoutofhis pocket, saying to the bishop, "You can keep it! so's I wont whittle the benches." A little j while afterward there was a commotion 1 in the class, and the little unkempt sister ? of the knife-owner came up to the bishop, and, panting with excitement, said, "Mr. Chenev! Air. Cheney. Johnny wants his ( knife again ; he's got a chance to trade." s ; P5 ! g ? ^AKlH^ POWDER Absolutely Pure t Tills powder never varies.

J rHE CORBIN DISK HARROW. t is Simple in Construction and Does Its Work Thoroughly. t is Heartily Endorsed by Every Farmer Who Has Used It. rHE CO BIN DISK HARROW is the invention of a practical farmer, and is, as now 1 tiered to the farming world, the result lijyears xperienco in the manufacture of Agricultural 1 mplements and combines selotions from over " a ka/1 ?volnnt nlnima Tt iu unnArinr tn 11 other harrows in its lightness of draft, pcroct llexibility, regulating lever for adjusting leptli of cut. aild case hardened anti-friction >all bearings, easily oiled and sand proof. c The following are somo of the advantages . tossessed by the Corbin Harrow over all othrs : First, None other has independent gangs, ither of which can lit any ridge or hollow withiut disturbing the other. Second, None other las chilled journal boxes; those of the Corbin ' Iarrow are so hard that a tile will not scratch hem. Third, Noneothcr has anti-friction balls n its journal boxes and as a consequence none ither has so light adraft. Fourth, None other an be set at so sharp an angle, owing to the evere friction on their journal boxes, and as a onsequence none other will pulverize like the Jorbin. Fifth, None other has a successful . lEEDEP. ATTACHMENT, making it really { wo machines in one, at less than thecostof one. iixth, None otlier is so simple is in construcion or so durable. Numerous other advanages possessed by the Corbin Disk Harrow ould be mentioned, but is unnecessary. 2 WHAT IT WILL DO. , The Corbin Disk Harrow will level rough and. Will soften a summer fallow. Will t >reak up clods and lumps. Will pay its cost >y increasing the yield. Will make the best ossible seed bed for grain. Will work around tumps, in hollows, or on knolls. Will mix ough manure with the soit as no other harrow an. Will lift and turn the soil to be fertilized >y the sun and atmosphere. Will cut weeds, orn stalks, cotton stalks, and roots and bury hem at one operation. Will increase the crop t least twenty per cent, by reason of its thormgh work. Will prepare grain stubble and orn stubble and cotton stubble lands for sowng without using a plow. There is no implenent in the world adapted to more uses, and lone has been more successful in every locality vhere introduced. The Corbin Disk Harrow s intended to successfully take the place of the Cultivator, Drag, Smoothing Harrow, Spring tooth Harrow, Drill, and on some soils the 'low, for it will do all that any, and more han most, of these tools will do. Used as a leeder it will cover every seed to a uniform lepth. Will pay its cost in seeding grain ,lone, as it covers every seed. Will enable the armor to seed four times as many acres in a lay. It will sow all kinds of grain more evenly han can be done by hand. Two sizes of disks are used. The smallest ize is 111 inches in diameter and the largest 16. The manufacturers make harrows with 12, 6, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has lernonstrated the fact that the 13-inch, 12-disk, ir the 16-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best dapted to general farm work.
