Wont you sit down ?" "Haven't time. I want the money on this bill." "But I have no money." "That's what you always say." "Yes, and I am always truthful." "Can't you pay some on it ?" "If I haven't any money how am I going to pay any on it ?" "I tell you it's getting pretty tiresome coming up here." "I have found it so, young fellow." "Can't you tell me when you will pay ?" "I can't promise that, but I'll promise to tell you when I do pay." "Well, the firm has about decided to do something." "Glad to know it, and I will help them all T ?.n ? A V?M. "You shouldn't expect me to keep on running after you." "I don't expect it of you. In fact, I wish you wouldn't." "I have worn out my shoes nearly, and all on your account." "Nearly worn out your shoes. Well, I declare that's too bad. Let me see, what number do you wear?" "About a seven." "All right," said the man, reaching under his desk and drawing out a pair of shoes, "here is a pair that I think will just fit you. Take them and wear them in remembrance of me, and when I have caused you to wear out another pair, I will let you have the ones I now have on. It has been my rule never to let the innocent suffer on my account. Good-bye." Pbefebs Snakes to Mosquitoes.?About three miles above Mississippi City I called at a negro cabin on the highway to ask for a drink of water. A mule stood near the door with a fore leg badly swollen, says The Detroit Free Press, and I asked the negro what ailed him. "Bin dun bit by a snake, I reckon," was the Teply. His own left foot was bandaged in a piece of bed quilt, and when I looked at it he explained : "Bin dun bit myself, but the pizen is about out." "Lots of snakes around here ?" I queried. "Heaps of 'em. Ole woman was dun bit las' week." "Whew!" "An' my boy Robert was duh bit dis mawnin'. See dat dawg? He bin dun bit fo' times dis y'ar. Come down yer a bit." We walked about ten yards from the cabin, and he showed me two moccasins on a log at the edge of a swamp. "Good lands! but I should think that you'd be scared out of your lives here !" I exclaimed. "Wall, it's a lettle skeery, sah, 'specially fUr de chil'un; but what worrits me de moas' is dem plaguey skeeters. I can't abide 'em, nohow. De snakes won't bodder if you doan' run ober 'em, but dem skeeters is jess boun' to light right down an' take hold an' pull yer ear right off." His Text.?A rising young minister, very absent-minded, very earnest, and very sensitive, hurried to church one Sunday morning ; and, going into the pulpit late, he was horrified to discover that he had not his carefully .written sennon with him. The service had begun by the singing of the anthem; but he called up one of his neighbor's boys, and gave him hurried directions about his study, and the probable location of the sermon, and sent him post-haste to get it and return as soon as possible. The service proceeded and still the boy did not appear. The young preacher wasj in agony. He had never preached without notes, and the perspiration stood in great beads on his forehead, as he wondered what he would do if the sermon did not come. Finally, just as the last stanza of the hymn which preceded the sermon was being sung, the boy appeared, rushed up the aisle conspicuously, and handed the minister his manuscript. The clergyman took the package nervously, opened it, and during profound stillness announced the text. Not until he had spoken it did the meaning of it flash over him. It was this: "Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost!" This was too much for the audience. The people laughed outright. But the lesson was a good one for the minister, who never forgot his sermon again while in that parish. A Live Commissioner.?Uncle Silas Brown is very much gratified over his election to the office ot school commissioner in the town of S. He asserted that when he assumed the duties of his position he intended to go into it for all it was worth, and make his influence felt. So no one was surprised at the first meeting of the new board to find him in a pugnacious mood. "I've hearn lots of complaints about the ? - -l X II M lacic oi eaaicauon auout mese pans, uc said, rising to his feet. "Now there ain't no excuse for this here state of affairs. There's plenty of eddication in the world. More'n enough .to go round, and our kids have got to have it. So I move, Mr. Chairman, that this committee find out jest how many boys 'n' gals there are in town, 'u' then get enough eddication to supply 'em all what ever it costs. I'd like to know whar we'd be ef we hadn't got our ftill share of it. Give the kids a chancet." It is a pleasure to announce that Uncle Silas's remarks were received with applause, and that the "kids" got quite as much education as most of them could stand. "Looking Up."?The following story is told of old "Father TaylorHe once went1 from a certain town noted for its apathy in religious matters to a conference meeting, where his brethren in the ministry were comparing notes as to the condition of church work in each one's locality. Presently some one asked Father Taylor how the religious interest was in . "O," replied that gentleman, "religion is looking up in ??." This occasioned much surprise, as such a declaration seemed directly contrary to general reports. "How is that ?" was asked. "Is there any general awakening of the churches ?" "No." ^ "Anspecial interest oil the part of those outside of the churches ?" "No." "Well, then, how do you explain your remark that religion is 'looking up' in ?" "Why," said Father Taylor, dryly, "religion is flat on its back in , and it has to look up, if it looks anywhere !" war All the boys in the school but one had j stepped up on the platform and read their compositions, and every composition was briefly descriptive of some beast of the field ; or forest, beginning with the assertion that! the beast in question was a very useful ani- j mal. Johnny Biggs was the last boy to take j the stand, and every body woudered what i his composition could be, as the stock of "useful animals" seemed to have been exhausted by his associates. Johnuy was equal i to the occasion. His composition was on J the subject of "Man," and this was the j way that it read: "Man is a very useful! anymull to hisself; butt the other anymuls don't never have mutch use for him." W&* A writer in the National Baptist remarks : "It is not often that local association reports provoke a smile. The following is an exception: A letter to the association from one of the churches closes with these words?we quote verbatim et literatim : "In Aueust. we extended a call to1 Rev.

On the whole, it would be advisable. W&- "Say," said a man to the butcher of j whom he purchased his daily supply of meat, "that last piece of steak I bought of you must have been from a steer old enough to vote." "Was it tough?" inquired the man of meat. "Tough! Well I should say it was. I could hardly cut it." "O, is that all ? Well, you ought to have heard another man kicking a day or two ago. He l>ought a piece that he said was so tough he couldn't get his fork in the gravy."

SOMETHING ABOUT SALT. Sometimes we are very much surprised to discover that we know nothing about the thing we use most constantly; what raw materials are in it, if it is a manufactured article; where it comes from, if a raw material ; or anything about the processess through which it must pass before it becomes valuable. What do you know about salt ? And yet, Is there any one thing more necessary to our daily life than salt? What do you know about its manufacture ? That it is manufactured you know, for it comes in several grades that show the various stages in the process of manufacture. It may surprise you to know that salt is manufactured to day by the same process used when salt was first made?by evaporation. No other successful method has ever been found. The pans are made of wrought iron, and cover an area of from six hundred to a thousand feet, and have a varying depth of from twelve to sixteen inches. Large fires are kept up under these pans, and the salt, as it is deposited on the bottom, is scraped off and removed for drying and moulding. The ' _1 4 4^ average deposit. 01 sait is uuuut ciuiu w fourteen ounces per gallon of brine. An Austrian scientist has studied to make the salt industry more profitable and less harmful to the men employed in making it. By the present process a gas is generated that is very harmful. This inventor has succeeded in securing a greater amount of salt from the same quantity of brine, and with less consumption of fuel. The brine is boiled in closed chambers instead of open pans, and the salt can be dried by the same fire that boils it, and removed without stopping the process of evaporation. The salt industry was dying out in England, but this invention has been found so successful that it promises fair profits for the capital invested when the new plant is in operation. In Australia the salt industry has been greatly strengthened by this invention. What a Horse Would Say Could he Speak.?Don't hitch me to an iron post or railing when the mercury is below freezing. Don't compel me to eat more salt than I want by mixing it in my oats. I know better than any other animal how much I need. Don't think because I am a horse that iron weeds and briars won't hurt my hay. Don't whip me when I get frightened along the road, or I will expect it next time and maybe make trouble. Don't trot me up hill, for I have to carry you and the buggy and myself too. Don't keep my stable very dark, for when I go out into the light my eyes are injured, especially if snow be on the ground. "Don't make me drink ice cold water nor put a frosty bit in my mouth. Warm the bit by holding it a half minute against my body. "Don't forget to file my teeth when they get jagged and I cannot chew my food. When I get lean it is a sign my teeth want filing. Don't ask me to "back" with blinds on. I am afraid to. Don't run me down a steep hill, for if anything should give way I might break your neck. Don't put on my blind bridle so that it irrilates my eye, or so leave my forelock that it will be in my eyes. Don't be so careless of my harness as to Una a great sore on me neiore you uut-nu to it. Don't lend me to some blockhead that has less sense than I have.?Farm Journal. Abuses in Shoeing.?Experiments have shown that if a hot shoe is pressed against the bottom of the feet it closes the ends of the tubes and prevents the foot absorbing its natural fluids. Furthermore, hy my experience, observes a writer in Coleman's Rural World, I am qualified to state and prove it, that corns, quarter cracks, contracted feet, stumblers, interferes, knee kitting, over reaching, cutting quarters, bad breaking and loss of speed, are caused by improper shoeing and bad fitting, which should be forbidden by all horse owners. Other and common causes of poor feet ate Wtinor thp hnrsps stand on nlank floors laid vv**"o * on an incline with spaces one inch apart. When a horse stands on such a floor one side of the web of the shoe is liable to drop into the open space and cause the ankle to be twisted, and the horse is inclined to trot with his ankle twisted, which causes him to cut his ankle. Furthermore, letting the horse stand on a place that is not kept clean, the gases and acids produced by the decomposition of excrement causes injury. Any preparation that contains grease should not be used, as all common sense horsemen know that grease will fill the tubes of the foot and prevent it from obtaining moisture as nature had designed. A horse's feet should be washed in warm water every time the animal comes in from a drive, and as soon as he reaches the stable. If this is not observed the foot is liable to become dry, hard, brittle and contracted ; then the poor animal soon becomes lame. Simple Remedies.?Wet tobacco will relieve bee or wasp stings. For nausea lay a little pounded ice on the back of the neck. For neuralgia bruise horse radish and apply as a poultice to the wrist. A couple of figs eaten before breakfast are an excellent laxative, especially for children. When suffering from overstrained and tired eyes, bathe them in hot water several times a day. For cankered throats, mix equal parts of powdered borax and sulphur, and blow a little into the throat through a quill. For a cough, boil one ounce of flax seed in a pint of water, strain and add a little honey, one ounce of rock candy, and the juice of three lemons. Mix and boil well. Drink as hot as possible. For ivy poisoning, boil wood ashes enough to make a strong lye; wash the poisoned parts in this, let it remain on a few minutes, and wash off in soft lukewarm water; when dry, anoint with vaseline. Repeat this process as the poison develops itself. One or j two applications will effect a cure. Ante-bellum Corn Bread.?If this recipe is followed to the letter, it will prove a most delightful bread for breakfast or supper, and "the boys" will always call for more. The ingredients are : One pint corn meal sifted, one quart of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of salt, four eggs beaten separately, butter the size of an egg. Break the eggs, putting the yolk into a two-quart round baking tin. Beat whites to a stiff froth; while preparing this, have the milk on to heat with the butter in it. Beat the yolks ! slightly and add a little of hot milk. Sift in the meal and salt and add the rest of the milk and butter. Lastly, put in the whites and set on the top of the stove to thicken. Stir all the time to prevent lumping and keep from burning. While thick, bake in the oven thirty minutes. Serve immediately, for if kept waiting it loses its pretty lightness. Relief in Lunk Troubles.?It has long been known that pine needle pillows would ] alleviate persons affected with lung troubles, i and a Florida editor relates an incident in sup! port of the fact as follows: A lady having j heard that there was peculiar virtue in a pil! low made from pine straw, and having none j of that material at hand, made one from tine, soft, pine shavings, and had the pleasure of noting immediate benefit. Soon all the I members of the household had fine shaving | pillows, and it was noticed that all coughs, I asthmatic or bronchial trouble, abated at I once after sleeping a few nights upon a mattress made from pine shavings. Themateri' al is cheap and makes a very pleasant and j comfortable mattress, the odor of the pine permeating the entire room and absorbing ' or dispelling all unpleasant odors. ; Darkness for the Sick.?A more injur, ious practice really could not be maintained than that of darknes in the sick room. It j is not only that dirt and disorder are the rej suits of darkness, but a great remedy is lost. J Sunlight is the remedy lost, and the loss is momentous. Sunlight diffused through a j room warms and clarifies the air. It has a j direct influence on the minute organic poisi ons, a distinctive influence which is most I precious, and it has a cheerful effect upon j the mind. The sick should never be gloomy, I and in the presence of light the shadows of ! gloom 11 v awav. in t ^ ' One of the best ways to keep the boys ; on the farm is to send them off once in a | while where they will get enlarged views of | the world.

ANDERSON COUNTY'S OWN MOSBY. I I .Some of the Notable Deeds of Guerilla Mance Jolly. Mance Jolly, of Anderson, wits one of the most noted Confederate guerillas in the South just after the war. He was fearless of all danger, as courageous as a lion, and at the same time as kind heartocfas a wonlan. ,He was drowned in the Brazos river, in Texas, several years ago, and a gentleman who lives in Texas and was in the city yesterday, told a reporter some of Jolly's daring deeds. Jolly and five of his brothers were Confederate soldiers, the guerrilla being a member of Orr's regiment of South Carolina volunteers. He was as daring; a soldier as a guerrilla, and went through the war with his company. Fate was cruel to his brothers, and all of them were shot dead in different battles. Jolly determined upon revenge, and swore that for every brother who had been killed .1. MI w.j?i tr,> ne wouiu Kin unu ccuciui. in. i^iuiubu iv Anderson and began to terrorize the Federal garrison. The garrison was made up largely of negro soldiers, and little respect was shown the people of Anderson by the negroes until Jolly began operations. A large reward was offered for his capture by the commander of the garrison, a man named Brown, and this infuriated the guerrilla. Every effort made to capture him was unsuccessful and generally resulted in some of the soldiers being killed or wounded. The jieople in the county sympathized with him and gave him shelter. Jolly seemed to bear a charmed life. The superstitious negro soldiers began to think that he was not a human being, and his sudden appearance in a party of them was the signal for a helter-skelter race for a safe hiding place. Guns were thrown down and the few negro and white soldiers who had the presence of mind to fire at him, were so frightened that their bullets went wide of their mark. Jolly owned a magnificent sorrel horse named "Dixie." It was sure footed and fleet as any in the country. The animal was as well trained as those of the Indian scouts years ago, and seemed to he endowed with the brains of a human. On his charger, Jolly rode one day into a party of negro soldiers at the "Blue Ridge" depot in Anderson. He asked them what they were doing there, and some of them replying curtly, he began firing with a pistol from each hand. Some of the soldiers were shot and the others fled. When Jolly's pistols were exhausted he gave rein to "Dixie" and went out of town. One day Capt. Brown sent a squad of men to search the country for Jolly. They went to Jolly's mother's house and not finding him there, they took a beautiful gold watch from Jolly's sister. The watch had been 3ent to her by a dying brother, who was shot down at the battle ofChancellorsville. Jolly heard of the depredation, and next day rode into Anderson well armed. He called at the hotel of Capt. Brown, told him he understood there was a large reward for Mance Jolly, and said he had the man. The commander asked where, and Jolly said "I'm the man. Your crowd stole my sister's watch. I'll give you twenty-four hours to seud it hack to her. If it is not back in that time there'll be twenty-five dead Yankees here." The commander knew Jolly meant what he said, and the watch was returned. Jolly rode quietly out of town. One Sunday he went to a country church to attend services. The soldiers heard of his being there, surrounded the church and demanded his surrender. With a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, he jumped out of a window, mounted his horse, cut the halter and dashed away with the bullets whizzing by bis ears. He went a number of yards, got behind a protection, and with his carbine, returned the fire. The soldiers were routed. The foregoing . are only a few of the many daring deeds of the guerilla and his escapes. It is said that he fulfilled his oath. He torment! ed the garrison as long as it remained in Anderson, and then moved to Texas, married and became a peaceable and law abiding citizen. His whereabouts was never known to the Federal officers.?Greenville News. THE DELAWARE LEGISLATURE. .Probably the smallest legislative body in the world, that is, one vested with authority to enact laws for the government of a fullfledged commonwealth, is the legislature of Delaware. It consists of just thirty memI /Uirwiasl into ninp qpniitnrs and twentv Ut/X O J UtliUVU mkV M?MV ? . ?,w one representatives. The members of the house are able to make a slight show of numbers when in session, but when the nine senators assemble at the daily meetings, the idea of dignity is entirely lost in a sense of the ridiculous, as they more resemble an ordinary committee of the average legislative body than the select branch of the general assembly of the sovereign State. The chamber in which the honorable senators meet to legislate for the people of Delaware is in keeping with the size of the body. It is a modest apartment, about twenty-five feet square, around which the desks are arranged in a manner that allows plenty of room for the members to move about with freedom. The speaker's desk rests upon a dais in the center of the west side of the chamber, and a solemn canopy of solid walnut and maroon-colored cloth hangs threateningly over his head. His official chair is stiff, stately, and straight-backed, anything but comfortable to sit upon. A funny feature of this diminutive senate chamber is the lobby. 11 is called a lobby, but is merely a limited section at the rear of the apartment set apart for the use of the public. A partition divides it from the chamber proper, and a high platform, rising in steps, upon which three rows of common settees are placed, enables the occupants to look down upon the Solcns in sefsiou. It is reached from the outside by a narrow, twisting stairway. Upon the front of the speaker's desk is an ornamental carving representing the coat of arms of Delaware. The principal figures are a farmer and a soldier upholding the ship of State between them, bat the unfortunate farmer was decapitated by some awkward legislator more than ten years ago, and no j member has since been patriotic enough to make the attempt to provide him with anew ! head "out of any moneys in the treasury not! j otherwise appropriated." ' In front of the speaker's desk sits the sin- j i gle clerk who transcribes all the proceedings j | of the Delaware senate. The ball of the house of representatives, j immediately adjoining, is a counterpart of j the senate chamber in all respects, except I that it is larger. The speaker sits at the j north end, and the desks of the other twenty j members are ranged in front of him in two' semi-circular rows of ten desks each. The I lobby is constructed upon the same plan as j i the senate's, but it will accommodate about ( | one hundred and fifty spectators by close j squeezing, whereas scarcely fifty can pack j themselves into the little space from which i the public view of the senate is obtained. Like all other State legislatures, that of Delaware opens the session in a slow, latigmd manner and winds up with a wild rush to get through with accumulated business by the time fixed for final adjournment. The average length of the sessions is between j three aud four months. The manner of conducting business is plain j and simple. Notice of at least one day is I required for the introduction and first read| ing of a bill. After the lapse of another day j it can be read a second time by the title and reierreu iu liie appropriate uuiiuihuit, iiiiu | when the committee reports it win be tu'ken 1 up and linully acted upon, Pulinmenttry ' tactics are seldom resorted to, and the previ! ous question is a stranger to entire sessions, j The committee of the whole for the consiJerj ation and amending of measures is almost 'an unheard of institution, everything being : performed in regular session, j Bills are never engrossed, but after final i passage are carfully enrolled upon huge sheets of paper "in a big round hand," and J from these enrolled copies the secretary of ! State prepares the piunplet laws and writes j certified copies of private acts. The final | passage of a bill by both houses makes it a ! law, the governor having no veto power. And so, from day to-day, in this generally j quiet, uneventful manner, the little legisla| ture of Delaware gets through with its hienI nial sessions. Two meetings are held daily, ; and the evenings are devoted to committee j business, correspondence, recreation and ! dodging the importunate lobbyists. Adjournment is made each week from Friday to Monday. While occasionally excitement i runs high and measures of questionable propriety are enacted, there has scarcely been J an instance for years?not since the last j great lottery fight back in the fifties?where i members were even suspected of being actuj ated by sordid motives in easting their votes, j Though small, the average Delaware legislature is incorruptible.?New York Times. A FEW FUNNY ERRORS. The mistakes in newspaper offices arising from the faulty chirography of occasional and regular contributors, have led to the publication of a few specimens. The Oswego Palladium refers to one instance, that of a Syracuse clergymen who gave tjie manuscript of a sermon of his to a reporter of The Standard, for the purpose of making an abstract of the discourse for publication. The manuscript said of John Wesley that "though only a presbyter, he himself ordained Thomas Cook to the office of the episcopacy." The preacher's penmanship was so bad, however, that the reporter made out this statement to mean and read "though only a Presbyterian he himself ordained his cook to the office of the episcopacy." The Bnx klyn Eagle follows this up by relating h( w some manuscript of Dr. Talmage came to its office at one time in which occurred the words: "My text finds our | Lord." When the words appeared in print they were neatly transformed to reaa : "jay tall friend, our Lord." Horace Greeley's manuscript was a puzzle to most people, and therefore it is not to be wondered at that when he wrote: " 'Tis true, 'tis pity, 'tis pity, 'tis true," the types made him say: " 'Tis two, 'tis fifty ; yes, 'tis fifty-two." On a Rochester daily, a few years ago, a reporter wound up a sketch of a little boy who had died from the effects of an explosion of firecrackers, which he carried in his pockets, in these words: "His afflicted and bereaved parents will have the sympathy," etc. The announcement as it appeared in prim was an offer of sympathy to "His afflicted and burned pants." A compostior in New York, accustomed to setting up the marine news of his paper, and who therefore found it convenient to set ttp and save names of cities and towns along the Atlantic coast, made himself famous by an amusing error. His copy descrilied how a gentlemen had met death by the "hand of Divine Providence." To save time he reached up among his list for the word Providence, of Rhode Island fame, but in bis haste took the wrong word. When the paper came out the acquaintances of the deceased learned for the first time that their former friend had been removed by the "hand of divine Nantucket."?Rochester Post-Express. flOYAl A POWDER Absolutely Pure. * ... nf (nrta. l.nUlntr nntrrlpr flii'hpst. of nil in leavening strength.?Latest U.

It is used in eveiy State and Territory and is heartily j and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer who has ever used 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 yet invented. It increases the crops, saves time and saves labor. Tne Harrow is made of first-class material, throughout, and with proper care win uo goou work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks are made of the very best of steel, and will neither break, bend or crumble. The disks are not affected to any appreciable extent by rocks, and the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of land. The following are some of the points of superiority possessed by the Corbin Harrow : 1. It is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven surfaces). 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are independent of each other?either can nt or follow an inequality without disturbing the other. 3. It Is the only Harrow having chilled boxes and anti-friction balls. 4. It is the only Harrow that has a successful Seeder Attachment. 5. It is the only combined Harrow and Seeder that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a drill. 0. The Corbin is unequaled for lightnoss of draft and power as a pulverizer.
