WOULDN'T LET HIM SUFFER.
A man sat at a desk, busily writing. A
young fellow entered and banded him a
paper.
"What's this, young riian ?"
"That bill from Wesley & Co."
"Oh! yes. 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!

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

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

Don't be so careless of my harness as to

Don't lend me to some blockhead that has

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,

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,>

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

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

THE CORI
THE CORBIX DISK 1U
Right Now Is T1
THERE is no doubt of the fact tlmt no fanning
implement has ever l)een offered to the farming
world that has given such universal satisfaction
as the CORBIN DISK HARROW. 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.

Ever}' Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, is arranged
so that a Seeder can be attached to it.
The Seed Box and its machinery are of the moat
simple and compact character. All its metal
Sarts are of malleable or reiined wrought iron,

The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure.
It locks itself firmly to the Harrow frame
by simply putting it into position. Neither bar,
bolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten
it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool
is required to uttach or detach it. Half a minute
of time will remove and one minute replace it
The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about
half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It
will sow grain as evenly as any drill, oover it better,
and place it at any depth in the ground. It
