Aberdeen announced himself as a candidate for the legislature, there was, throughout the county, an almost universal expression of approval, for the colonel had oeen so kind and patient in his dealings with the negroes that many of them were willing to throw aside politics and vote for him. There was one old negro, however, that shook his head and muttered in opposition. "Why, what do you mean by opposing the colonel, Dan ?" a white man aslcedone morning when he met the old negro in the roaa. 4 "I reckon I'sgot a privilege ter do whut I'se doin', sah. In dis y ere Tree country er man ain!t got no right ter tell er pusson how he mus' vote ur how how he musn't." "Of course not, Dan, but we counted on your vote as a sure thing." "How come ?" "Why, the colonel has always been your friend. Last year, when your wife died, he paid the funeral expenses, didn't he ?" ifYas, but de 'spenses wa'n't raueh. I)e buryin' was dun on his own Ian' an' he got a fellow dat owed him ter make de coffin outen his own plank, so it didn't cost him nothin'." "That may be, but you should consider the spirit of generosity that prompted the action. Ana, hold on a minute; here is another thing: Ijast spring, when you had the rheumatism, he sent a number of hands in to your cotton-field." "Yas, cazehe knowed dat er third o' de cotton would 'long ter him an' dat de mo' it wuz worked de mo' he would git." "I must say, Dan, that you are one of the most ungrateful men I ever saw." "You'sgot er right ter yo' 'pinion, sah." "Yes, every man has a right to his opinion when his opinion is honest, but is it an honest opinion that causes you to oppose the colonel's election ?" "Yas, sah, I kin stan' right yere flatfooted an' say it is." "Would you mind telling me what caused you to form an ill opinion of him ?" "Oh, I ain't totin' my grebunces roun' de neighborhood; still ef you 'sigt on it I kin tefi you. It's my 'pinion, sah, dat de (Vilnnol ia 'noitfnl " "Deceitful!

Not Homesick.?There are some feelings, innocent enough in themselves, which nevertheless a man does not like to express in so many words. If he acknowledges them, he prefers to do it indirectly. not taking a straight course, but, as the old saying is, going "round Robin Hood's barn." The captain of Company G, Twelfth Vermont regiment, was strolling in the woods just out of camp, says a writer in the Salem Witch, when he came upon a member of his company sitting on the stump of a tree, and looking as tliough he had fought his last fight. "What's the matter, Bill?" said the captain. "Oh, nothing," was the reply. "I am all right." "You look as though you had a tit of homesickness." "No, sir," said Bill, with some resentment, "nothing of the sort." "Well, what are you thinking about?" asked his questioner. "I was thinking," said the Vernionter, "that I wished I was in my father's barn." "In your father's barn! What on earth would you do if you were in your father's barn?" The poor fellow uttered a long drawn sigh and said, "I'd go into the house mighty quick!" ^ The Free Pass Fiend.?Roland Reed tells a story of a would be friend who asked him for free seats one night. Reed assured him that he could only get tickets by paying for them himself. But the man was persistent. "Oh, pshaw! see if you can' squeeze me out two seats." "I tell you 1 can only do it by buying them." "But anywhere will do. Can't you fix me in the gallery ?" "If you must persist, come with me to the box office ana I will show you what I can do." They went to the box office, and Reed passed in saying: "Give me two seats." His friend seemed to be surprised to see that Reed really had to pay for the seats. "Is that right, Roland ?" "Why, of course it is ; don't you see my money there?" "Well, if you have got to pay for them, you might as well make it three?my wife's sister would like to go, too." Cause for Thankfulness.?In the Theater Royal, Dublin, when the Italian company came to play Faust, the actor who took the part of Mephistopheles neglected to try the size of the trap-door by which he was supposed to descend into the infernal regions. His figure, which "he had not lost, but which had gone before was too large for the opening, and at the supreme moment he discovered that he could not go down above his waist. To heighten the awkwardness of the situation, and to relieve the strained feelings of the audience, one of the gods in the gallery, in a rich Irish brogue, exclaimed, "Begorra! hell's full." I?* "Well, Dennis, did that porous plaster help your lame back ?" "Fwell, doctor, Oi can't say that it has helped me much yet, but mebbe it will. You know it was only last night Oi tuk it." "Took it!

Many intelligent persons believe that growing wheat will, under unfavorable circumstances, change to chess. In proof of this they cite cases where before an unseasonable frost or storm was a promising growth of wheat, could soon afterward be found only a growth of chess. This is no proof of transformation of wheat into chess! Wheat belongs to the genus Triticum; chess belongs to the genus Bromus. There is no more connection between, or dependence of one upon the other than there is between the sheep and goat, or between copper and iron. One of these latter is just as likely to change to the other as wheat is to chess*! If wheat could turn to cheas we would sometimes find in a field stalks having upon it wheat and chess grains, but no one has ever seen such a monstrosity. The undersigned will pay a handsome reward for such a specimen. The reason why chess appears where wheat should be is because either the ground was already stocked with chess seed or the farmer sowed chess^as an impurity with his wheat seea. ine season proving uumvurnuic iu wheat, the chess, which is very hardy, got the upper hand and smothered the wheat. ?[Gerald McCarthy, N. C. Experimental Station. Household Recipes.?A thorough washing of the mica windows of stoves in vinegar will remove the smoke. For a grass stain on children's clothes, while it is fresh, wash it out in alcohol. Damp salt will remove the discoloration of cups and saucers caused by tea and careless washing. A strong solution of alum, to which has been added a little glycerine and vinegar, is a cure for mosquito bites. Keep nickel, silver ornaments and mounts bright by rubbing with woolen cloth saturated in spirits of ammonia. To make fly paper, mix together, by stirring, equal parts of castor oil and melted rosin, and while yet slightly warm spread evenly on sized paper, such as foolscap, Ac. The stains of ink on books and engravings may be removed by applying a solution of oxalic acid, citric acid or tartaric acid upon the paper without fear of damage. These acids take out writing ink, but do not interfere with the printing. Benefits fkom Mulching.?The benefit derived from mulching fruit trees are many. The mulch checks evaporation and thus retains moisture in the soil, which is a decided advantage in a dry time. The soil, therefore, does not bake, but remains open and porous for the free admission of air, while the earth worms and microbes are doing their work to enrich the soil. The mulch used gradually decays and furnishes needed humus. It also aids materially in the process of nitrification?that i9, in combining the nitrogen of the atmosphere with other elements, and thus fitting it fnr nlnnt food. This secures one of the most costly of plant foods, not because nitrogen is not abundant, but because it is so hard to fix and fit for the uses of the plant. Ladies who find it difficult to preserve the blossoms and leaves they delight so much in wearing as a garniture to evening dres3, will be able to wear them much longer without fading if they surround the stems with moistened powdered willow charcoal, which may be wrapped in a little bed of moss, and covered with a bit of green tissue paper to prevent the charcoal from shifting through the moss. A teaspoonful of powdered charcoal put in a ewer of water will preserve a boquet of cut flowers for several days if the stems of the flowers are cut each day, as the broken end of the flower stem withers and closes the opening through which the blossom receives its nourishment.?[Exchange. The Dust in Hay.?There is, as all farmers know, more or less dust in all hay, and this, if taken into the lungs, is very injurious to horses fed on it. Clover hay and that of timothy cut in the bloom are especially liable to be dusty, and often give horses the heaves when fed on either of these. Slightly wetting the hay will prevent this injury. The better way is to cut the hay, slightly moisten it, and throw on it a little corn and oats ground together, taking care not to give more than will be eaten clean at each feed. Between meals the rack may be filled with fresh straw, which the horse will pick over, and which may then be used for bedding. As to Rented Farms.?Somebody tells a deal of truth in these six sentences': Never rent a farm when you cau own one. The man who rents a farm must necessarily add much to the premises from which he*cannot derive any benefit. If he attempts to crop a rented farm without doing '* ' n - 1 1 2 11 ~ JUStlCe IO tne 1UIUI, nt* Will sunn u us well as the owner. There are many improvements of the soil from which the owner receives the benefit, in the course of time, at the expense of the renter. All farms should be rented by mutual agreement, and all conditions plainly stipulated. One Remedy for House Colic.?A Georgia correspondent vouches for the remedy for horse colic here reproduced from rlhe Southern Cultivator. He says : "Take a blanket and cover the bowels of the horses with it. Then secure it in position with two girts tightly to the horse. Apply hot water, or as hot as the horse can bear it, freely. The bowels are relaxed and the horse relieved of the colic like a charm." Make Trees Beak.?Mrs. Mary Brandon, says The Tennessee Farmer, gives her experience in making fruit trees bear in the following words: "I had a quince tree that was full of blooms every year but bore no fruit. 1 removed the dirt from around the tree and put brine and salt from a fish keg into its place and that year it was full as it could hang." *fc7M)ne of the best things in the world to give adiorse after he has been driven, is a quart of oatmeal stirred in a nail of water. It refreshes and strengthens him, relieves his immediate thirst, and prepares his stomach for more solid food. So says Joseph Harris, after twenty years' trial of it.

I |Ui5ceUanco>i5 Reading. big game in the toils. Oih' morning in September, while 1 was mgaged in the survey of the Sierra Hi Sal, 1 had ridden down to a cattle camp, a few niles below us, to deliver and get our mail, vhich was brought there by special messenger. Sitting on my horse in the shade >f the cotton woods, I was talking for a monent with William Little, the "herd boss." Suddenly interrupting the account which le was giving me of the last Navajo attack, Little exclaimed, "Hallo! thunder in the vinter! how did that steer get up there ?" He pointed up the valley, and toward the )pposite side, where a solitary animal seemed to la1 peacefully grazing. Now the camn had been nlaced in that mrticular spot m order to restrain the catle from wandering up to the head of the alley and straying into the foot-hills. The tides of the valley were so steep that the inimals could not climb out, and the cow)oys formed a living fence which kept hem within bounds. A steer seldom strays far from its fellows, ind Little was very much surprised to see his one at least two miles from the nearest 'hunch." "Wonder if 'tain't that ole line-back we jot in that hunch from the May hoys ? lie s such an unsociable i itter, he's alluz a itrayin' oil' by himself. Take a squint at ini through yer glass, an' see what lie's ike." Unslinging my field-glasses, 1 looked at he creature. Then I handed them to Litle, and said, "See if you think that looks ike 'Old Line-back." He steadied the jlass for a moment, and then ho suddenly Iropped it and called out, "A grizzly, by ing! We'll have some fun now. Bob! Jharloy! Kid ! wake up! here's a grizzly!" Three cowboys, who were making a late ireakfast, jumped up and came rushing out, hatching sight of the bear, they hurried to" he corral where their horses were tied. These rough and ready riders, as they tune out, made a picturesque group of nen. Just following Little, the "boss," tunc "The Kid," the youngest, and the >et of the whole "outfit." The rest took lelight in his boyish jollity, and looked in with pride at his harum-scarum ventureomeness. He was sixteen, Texas born md bred, or as he says, "born in the saddle, md riz in a corral," he knew nothing but torses and cattle, and like the ancient Persians, thought that a liberal education (insisted in being able "to shoot straight, ide a horse and tell the truth." Then came "Broncho Bob," so called rom his ability to ride and conouer the vorst bucking broncho. Close to him was 'Jaybird Charley," who has received his tame from his partiality for bright colors, md especially for his showy blue scarfs md neckties. They were dressed much alike, with iroad-brimmed white hats decorated with iidlion fringe, blue shirts, with a handkerliief loosely knotted around their throats, nd pantaloons tucked into their highopped boots, over which last, when ridng, they wore the. Mexican calzoneros or iveralls made of calf-skin, and buckling oosely around the leg. They all used the leavy bit, the high-peaked roomy saddle, nd the long, sharp-rowelled spurs of the Mexican vaquero. They were rough and loisterous, and given to horse-play and ude railery, save Charley, who seemed to e of quieter ways than the rest, and was a nan of some education. "Where are your, guns?" I asked, as hey were about to start. "(tuns nothin'!" said the Kid; "here's ' vhat'll do the b'ar's business for him!" le whirled his lasso around his head. 1 "Indeed!" I answered, somewhat inredulously. "I think you'll find there's . difference between a grizzly and a Texas teer." "Reckon there is; but, just the same, ve'll ketch the b'ar with these yer riatas, nd fetch him into camp alive !" "Honestly do you really intend to 'rope' hat bear?" * , "Right you are!" lie shouted, as we lashed away to cut the bear off from the lills, from which lie was distant about one mlf a mile. The big beast appeared not to see us unil we were within two hundred yards, vhen, with a grunt of surprise, he left off ligging his afternoon lunch of crickets and leld-mice, and shambled toward the little avine through which he had come down nto the plain. rnu: /%,,/v iiiioriiirwicA AIMS IIIUVC niuu^iu linn, ijutuwi iTi.^ n front of Little, who yelled to his horse ,nd dashed at him. 1, who am not a cow>oy, wisely decided that this was none of ny business, and drew my horse up to an asy loj>e, contented to watch the fun from . distance.

Vfter a moment's ineffectual resistance, he vas jerked over sidewise, and fell prone, >utthe "Kid" nimbly cleared himself and flighted unon his feet. Like an automaton, the bear surged ihead, dragging the pony after him until lis late rider, rushing forward, cut the ariat with his knife, and freed his horse, vhich scrambled to its feet, putting and ilowing, with his breath almost jolted nit by his rough passage over the ground. Little and the "Kid" are now out of the ight, but where are the other two ? Turnng, I saw that Bob's horse had stepped nto a badger hole, and thrown his rider >ver his head. But Bob had retained his lold upon the lariat, and a spirited contest ?egan, the horse rearing and plunging and lacking away, while Bob tried to catch he bit, eager to mount and be "in at the leath." Charley, on the slowest and best-winded lorse in the camp, is two hundred yards iway, and it begins to look as if the bear vouldgain the gulch and escape. Kxcited by the prospect, and forgetting ill dictates of prudence, I dashed forward, houting and swinging my hat, and by a ihorter cut to the left, succeeded in heading iff the bear. This feat might have cost me learly, for the creature came upon me ;o closely that I only avoided a collision vith him by abruptly turning and bolting roni his line of retreat. But I had delayed lis flight, and Charley now bore down upon lis heels. My rash impulse, I proudly felt, had mended the hunt; for a moment ater the lariat was round the grizzly's leek, and Charley's powerful pony, seting back on his haunches, jerked the bear iff his feet and landed him on his back vitli a thud that almost shook the ground. Recovering himself, the grizzly rolled o his feet and plunged mightily to get 'roe. But the pony gave him not an inch >f slack, and the lariat, though it stretched md cracked and "sang like a fiddle itring," stood the strain noniy. Changing his tactics, tlic bear then bolt'(1 toward iris captor. Hut a toucii of the ! leel sent the horse off at an angle, and as he lasso tightened again, the grizzly was nice more jerked from his feet, and landed >n his side. Again and again this inanieu:re was repeated, until the hear grew sulen, and squatting on his haunches, seem'd to he meditating his next move. Meantime the others had gatheretl tround, hut at Charley's request, did not nterfere. Soon the hear, rising on his | lind-legs, seized the lariat with his fore iaws, and hegan to pull himself toward lis captor. ('barley's most energetic jerks ailed to get it from his grasp. Then spuring hither and thither, he tried to tangle he beast and throw him. hut to no pur>oso. The animal slowly, hut steadily | hortened the distance between them. If 'barley had been alone, he would have icon forced to cut his lariat to escape; hut I Little, watching his chance, now dashed in, and, bending from his saddle, snatched up the loose end of the "Kid's" lariat, as it trailed along the ground, knotted it around the pomel of his saddle, and, throwing his horse back on his haunches, blocked the bear's game. Then Lob, who had succeeded in remounting, dropped a dextrous loop so as to catch an upraised hind-foot ; and now, like Gulliver in the hands of the Lilliputians, the formidable animal was helpless. If he made a frantic rush for Charley, Little's lariat checked him. If he turned on Little, Charlie brought him up with a round turn. If he tried to bolt, Boh checked his horse, and the bear found himself helplessly pawing on three legs. If he sulked and hung back, Little and Charley dragged him ignominiously along, while the "Kid" and I played vaquero in the rear. But the creature kept up the contest, and horses, riders and l>ear were thoroughly blown and spent by the time the camp was reached. Then came the question what shall we do with him ? The beast was full grown and in good condition. The massive muscles of his chestand shoulders stood out likeropesas he tugged at the cords which held him. One sweep of those curving sickle claws would cut a man into ribbons. Ilis little red eyes glowed like dull coals of fire. Foam dripped from his cavernous mouth? he was "mad" from head to foot?and every separate hair on his body quivered with rage. In short, lie was an incarnation of immense strength and brutal ferocity. To keep such a monster alive was impossible. No pen nor ropes would hold him for an hour. Sentence of death was passed therefore, and the "Kid" stepped forth as executioner: "I will tell you where to shoot," said Little to the boy. "Draw, in your mind, a line from the inner corner of each of the bear's eyes to the base of the opposite ear. Have you got the point where those two lines cross ?" "Yes." "Then ride close, and put a bullet an inch above it." The heavy cavlary Colt cracked sharply. For a moment we thought that the creature's thick skull had defied the ball; for he neither stirred nor flinched a hair. But suddenly a convulsive shiver ran through the big mass of gray brawn and bone, the glare of the eye died out slowly, as a coal fades in the sunlight and the white ash covers it; and the great brute pitched over upon his nose?dead.?[Youth's Companion.

March IP 12 ly THE CORI Is The Best Fanning In NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO i Riglit Now In tin THERE is no doubt of the fact that no farming implement has ever been otlered to the farming world that has given such universal satisfaction as tho CORBIN BISK HARROW. It is used in every State and Territory and is heartily and enthusiastically endorsed by overy farmer who has over usod it, and they are numbered by thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agree that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most profitable implement for cultivating the soil and putting in grain yot invented. It incroases the crops, saves time, and saves labor. The Harrow is made of first-class material throughout, and with proper caro will do good work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay for itself a do/on times ovor. The wheels or disks are made of tho vory best of steel, and will neither break, bond or crumble. Tho disks aro not alfocted to any appreciable extent by rocks and the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of land. < Tho following aro soino of tho points of superiority possessed by tho Corbin Harrow : 1. It'is theonly Disk Harrow that is perfectly flexible (?'. c. one that will adapt itself to uneven surfaces). 2. It is tho only Harrow in which tho gangs are independent of each other?either can lit or follow an inequality without disturbing tho other. 3. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes and anti-friction balls. I. It is the only Ilarrrow that has a successful .Seeder Attachment. 5. It is thoonly combined Harrow and Seodor that covers ovory kernel of grain in rows like n drill. t>. Tho Corbin is unoqualed for lightness of draft and power as a pulverizer. The Harrow With Seeder Attachment. Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, is arranged so that a Seeder can lie attached to it. i no noon nox aim lis macninory aro 01 1110 most simple and compact character. All its motal parts aro of malleable or rolined wrought Iron. Its weight is (of the size to tit the No. 7 12-disk Harrow) about eighty pounds. | The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure. It locks itself lirmly to the Harrow frame by simply putting it into position. Noitlior bar, l>olt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, | wrench or other tool is required to attach or detach it. Haifa minute of time will remove and ono minute roplace it. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about half as much as a Drill, and is a bettor tool. ! It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover I it better, and place it at any depth in the I ground. It is two complete implements in j one. It prepares the field in the best possible : mannor for seeding and then sows the crop. . It sows RED RUST-PROOF OATS capitally. WORDS OF PRAISE.

I havo a Corbin Disk Harrow which I havo boon using for several years, and consider it the most valuable farming implomont of which I havo any knowledge. As a time and money saver, aside from tho superior quality of work it does, its valuo can hardly bo estimated at tho season at which the small grain is sown. ?[U. E. Guthrie, Guthi nvillo, S. C. I consider myself incompent to do tho implement justice. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow is the most valuable farming implomont I have ever used, or over expect to uso. There is no implement of which I have anv knowledge that will do so many different kinds of work or do the work as well.?[Dr. Wm. M. Walker, Yorkvillo, S. C. The Corbin Harrow is a complete success, and every farmer should have one, and tho longor the matter of buying is put off, tho greater tho loss to tho farmer, as it can be used to great advantage in winter, spring, summer and fall. I consider myHelf incompetent to do the implement justice from an economical standpoint. ?[Wm. S. Wilkerson, Hickory drove, S. C. I find a wonderful difference in working land that has been harrowed and that which has not. The more I uso my Harrow the bettor I like it. It is my purpose to sow my small grain with it next nil 1, and tor two reasons; first, I can sow it bettor, and, therefore get bettor results; and second, I can do it at about one-lifth the expense and in one-fifth the time as compared to the ordinary way of sowinggrain. No farmer can afford to be without the Corbin Harrow, and the sooner the farmers find this out the better. I would not take five times the cost of my Harrow for it and be without it. I shall bo , pleased to give my friends anv further information thev tnay desire.?[It. it. Glenn, Yorkvillo, S.C/ The above testimonials, from practical farmers should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical that the Corbin Disk Harrow is a complete success. No farming implement has ever received such universal praise in this section. The St. Lawrence MTg Co., who are the manufacturers of the Corbin Harrow, recommend the No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted to general farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12 disks, 10 inches in diameter, and 0-foot cut, and the other size has 10 16-inch disks and 5-foot cut. I keep a few No. 7 12-disk harrows on hand and can till orders promptly. I also have SEEDER ATTACHMENTS on hand.
