Humorous Department. The Reason Why.?"Where is the old steward ?" inquired a traveler as he stepped aboard an outgoing steamer, just previous to her departure. "Oh, he was discharged some time ago," I replied the captian. "Why, he seemed to be a first-class fellow," rejoined the first speaker; "why was he kicked out?". "Well, to tell you the truth, he got too big for his breeches, and we bounced him," emphatically ejaculated the captain. This conversation occurred within hearing of a bright-eyed, intelligent little girl, the daughter of one of the tourists on the steamer. ? - - ? __ 1 Subsequently anotner passenger amveu, and, after bestowing a casual glance around, said : "I don't see the old steward ; what has become of him ?" "I think he was discharged," volunteered a bystander. "Do you know what for ?" "Ne, sir." "I do," piped a small voice from the cabin door. Looking around the inquirer saw the smiling face of a little girl peeping out at him. "Well, my dear," said he, why was the steward discharged?" "Oh, I don't like to tell, she bashfully replied. "But I want to know," he persisted. "Come, tell me, that's a good girl. What did they discharge him for?" " 'Cause," she slowly answered, " 'cause his pants were too short!"?Drake's Traveler's Magazine. Courtship in Georgia.?When a Georgia* farmer found out that his son John was sparking a certain fanner's daughter for a year or more without settling any question, he called him out behind the stack and said : "John, do you love Susan Tucker?" "I guess I do, dad." "And does she love you ?" "That's what I dunno, dad, and I'm afraid to ask her." "Well, you had better throw out a few hints to-night and find out. It's no use wearing out boot leather unless you are going to marry her." That night at 10 o'clock John came home a wreck. His face was all scratched up and his ear was.bleeding, his hat gone and his LKVCK. WVCICU mut iiluu. "John, John ! what on earth is the matter with you?'.' exclaimed the old man, laying down his paper. "Bin over to Tucker's," was the reply. "And?and?and? I threw out a few hints to Susan." "What kind o' hints?" "Why, I told her I'd been hoofing it two miles four nights of a week for the last two years to set up with her while she chewed gum and sung through her nose, and now I reckoned it was time for her to brush her teeth and darn her stockings, cure the bile on her chin and tell the folks we are engaged." "And her father bounced you ?" "No, dad, no; there's where I'm consoled. It took the whole family, including Susan, two hired men and three dogs, and then I wasn't more'n half licked. I guess we moved on 'em to soon, dad?I guess it wasn't quite time to throw out hints." A Particular Man.?A few days since a chap from Polk county, Or., went down to Portland to see the sights. He is a sort of natural philosopher, who takes the world as it comes, detests chronic growlers, and boasts that he never finds fault with anything or ' anybody. He entered the diningroom of one of the hotels-, and the waiter placed his dinner before him. After he had done ample justice to the meal, the empty dishes were cleared away and the afterpieces brought in. He then went for his dish of pudding with a zeal that was remarkable. He had taken several spoonfttls, when there appeared something he did not exactly believe was legitimate, and upon close examination it proved to be a yellow-jacket, which he quietly laid to one side, and resumed his work of putting away ? the pudding, when he ran foul of yellowjacket No. 2 ; he gently took him by the left hind leg, hauled him from his resting place and laid him on the table just as if nothing had happened ; but turning his dish of pudding around to prevent further accidents, he made a desperate dive at the dish with two spoons, when the mangled form of yellowjacket No. 3 made his appearance. This was more than the young man cduld stand, so he sadly laid his spoon down and sang out, "Waiter!" This summons was answered, and he was asked what he would have. Says he, "This is the third one of these infernal bugs that I have found in this dish, and if I find another I'll be blamed if I'll - - X *4. It eat it." Starting a Young Man.?It is related of a Philadelphia!), who has been dead many years, that a young man came to him one day and asked for help to start in business. "Do you drink ?" inquired the millionaire. "Occasionally." "Stop it! stop it for a year and then come and see me." The young man broke off the habit at once, and at the end of a year again presented himself. "Do you smoke?" asked the great man. "Yes, now and then." "Stop it! stop it for a year, and then come and see me." The young man went away and cut loose from the habit, and after worrying through another twelve months once more faced the philanthropist. . "Do you chew ?" "Yes." "Stop it! stop it for a year, and then come and see me." But the young man never called again. When some one asked why he didn't make one more effort he replied : "Didn't I know what he was driving at ? He'd have told me that as I had stopped chewing, drinking and smoking I must have saved enough to start myself."?Wall Street News. Why He Could Sell Cheap.?"You say the coat is four dollars?"

THE JERSEY AS A DAIRY COW. Having been asked to write an article 011 i Jersey cattle, I can but give my experience regarding them during over thirteen years, and my deductions therefrom. As a rule they are hearty feeders; not dainty, although responding readily to liberal rations, both as to condition and produce, so much so that generous feeding is the truest economy. They are also hardy, being large and steady milkers, changes in temperature, draughts of cold winter wind, exposure to sleety storms are hurtful, as to any good cow, but they will bear a low temperature without harm if only steady and free from draughts; in a word, a thrifty farmer's stable is all they require. As in every breed there are scrubs, but to get a satisfactory Jersey it is not necessary to have one of a phenorainal strain, costing a high price, but simply a good cow, such as every breeder has and will sell at a moderate price because not coming up to his standard of butter production, but which put to a firstclass Jersey bull will very likely produce an extra calf, and in any event will make one pound of first class butter per day. There are several strains of Jerseys that are large in frame and have large calves, notably the St. Heiler aud Stoke Pogis; it is not by any means true that all Jersey calves are too small to be profitable for fattening, and Jersey beef has only to be eaten to be appreciated. As to gentleneas and docility I suppose there can be no question ; they are nervous, sensitive creatures, full of life, but also of trust to patience and kind treatment. Compared with the native cow as a profitable milker the average Jersey heifer at two years of age will give, as a rule, more milk than the native when she first comes in, will eoutinue to do so through life, besides always milking at least one mouth nearer calving; to this is to be added the advantage in richness, it taking 25 to 30 pounds of milk from the native against 16 to 20 from the Jersey to make a pound of butter, such butter also as no other breed, not excepting even the Guernsey, will make. This much of the registered Jersey, but what shall be said of their grades ? A good native cow, such as every farmer has one or more of in his stable, put to a first-class Jersey bull, of a well known butter family, will nine times in ten produce a perfect cow one that will yield a very large flow of rich milk, safe against any standard, that will churn one pound of butter to every twenty of milk at least, and as good as the pure bred cow can make, rich in flavor and waxy in texture, and of rich creamy color in winter as well as in summer. Every Jersey bull dropped, however, will not answer; he must A * nrAA/1 irace uuck ivi scvctai jjcikimivun w guw. ancestors, phenominal ones are not necessary, but they must have good records, so that prepotency is well established, of such there are now plenty to be had at moderate prices, and no farmer will be out of pocket when investing in such an one at $25 to $50 when old enough to be weaned, for he will be sure to transmit the good qualities of his race to ever}- cow he serves. I have said that the Jei'sey cow is not a dainty animal, but if any one expects to get out of her, or any other, first class or even good produce, on poor feed he is mistaken. It has been well said that the cow is but a machine, more or less perfect, for manufacturing what we want frora her. Some are more perfect than other-?, but all must be supplied with the raw material. I have been strongly impressed by this fact the past year when, having two herds tinder my notice, the one that turned out the best butter on pasture and green feed during the summer went far behind the other in the winter that was better fed as regarded the constituent parts of its ration.?Jersey Bulletin. DIRECTIONS FOR MANUFACTURING SORGHUM. The sorghum canes, properly stripped of leaves and with the seed tops removed, are passed through a mill adjusted to extract as large a per cent, as possible of the juice. A first-class, three roller horse mill, properly adjusted, will extract from GO to 65 pounds of juice from each 100 pounds of clean cane. In case the molasses shows a tendenoy to granulate, the cane should be cut and allowed to lie in the field three or four days before being worked. If the molasses does not show any tendency to granulate it is best to have the cane worked as soon as possible after harvesting. As soon as the juice is expressed, it should be treated with cream of lime, which has been thoroughly strained so as to contain no large lumps of undissolved lime. In a tank of convenient size, two-thirds filled with juice, the cream of lime should be added, little by little, with stirring so as to incorporate it thoroughly with the juice. As the point of neutrality is reached, the juice will show a large amount of ttocculeut matter, and will slightly change in color, passing from green to amber color. Care must be taken not to add an excess of the cream of lime, the result of which would be a darkening of the molasses. The proper point may be learned by experience. It can also be determined directly by litmus test paper. Y> Ut'Il IUIS UllIC JJUpci IS [Jiivnu in nit iiiiiural juice, it will turn to light red. As the point of neutrality is reached the change of color in the litinius paper becomes less pronounced, and when it is distinctly purple it shows that the proper amount of lime has been added. If too much lime be added the paper will not change in color at all or be made more distinctly blue. Litmus paper can be obtained from any well equipped drug store. I A very excellent article of molasses is made by adding to the juice, treated as above, some bisulphate of lime. This bisul-; phate of lime is made by passing the fumes j of burning sulphur into cream of lime until j it is saturated. The addition of the bisul- j phate of lime makes the juice again acid, but tends to produce a molasses of much lighter color than can be made without it. Excellent molasses, however, of a somewhat darker color, can be made without the use of the bisulphate of lime. A good article of molasses of light color, can also be made without adding lime, and molasses made in this way ( is exceptionally good for baking purposes, j The juice, after treatment with the lime, j or with the lime and bisulphate of lime alone, I should be placed at once in a tank, and then rapidly brought to the boiling point. It should, however, not be allowed to boil, but the scum, which is formed over the top, begins to show signs of breaking, the heat should be withdrawn, and the blanket of scum carefully removed. The heat may then be applied, until all the green scums have been entirely seperated. The purified juice should now be reduced, as rapidIV as possible, to the consistency of molasses. This is best done in some form of continuous evaporator, based on the_ old-fashioned Cook evaporator, in which the purified juice constantly runs in at one end of the evaporator, passes back and forth across it, and the finished molasses runs out at the other end. The more quickly this evaporation can be accomplished, the better for the molasses. When the molasses runs from the evaporator, it should be cooled as quickly as pos-1 sible, and should never be placed in barrels ; until it has almost reached the ordinary temperature of the air. These directions arc only of a general 11a- ] ture, and it requires a large experience to J be able to produce a first class article ofj molasses. To 1'ickle Meat.?I. A.

AT SECOND MANASSAS. General Micah Jenkins as a Soldier?His Bearing on the Field. It was on the 26th of August when Jackson and Pope met at Briston station and opened the.fight and continued it, I think, three Jays, when the reinforcements on both sides arrived and every available man was put into action, aud charge after charge was made by both armies, with great slaughter to each and no final success until about 5 o'clock p. m., when Lee turned Pope's left flank, when a grand final charge was made along our entire line and the enemy driven from tfie field. Although the Federals fought with great desperation, the battle was decisive, and when night came on they were in full retreat for their defense around Washington. They were not routed though for a day or so later. September 1st, when we passed them at Chantilly they fought desperately to protect their retreat, and two of their best generals were killed, General Stevens and Wonmpv Tvoiiriiev csDeeinllv was ft brave man and the idol of his command, so the prisoners said whom we captured. In the flank movement and charge which decided the day at Manassas, our brigade (Jenkins's) was on the right of Longstreet's old division, and D. R. Joues's division on our right, being the extreme right of our infantry line. There being a vast area of open laud to our right, I saw a grand charge made by a mounted brigade of cavalry (I heard it was Hampton's) meeting the enemy's cavalry. It was a good distance from us, but it was a grand sight. There was also a battery of light artillery which went flying by us to our right (this was before Jones's division came up), and in a very few seconds, fgss time than you could imagine, were throwing shot and shell over us into the ranks of the enemy. Just at this juncture, while we were moving in line of battle driving the enemy's skirmishers in front of us, one of General Longstreet's staff officers (Major Sorrell, I think) dashed up to General Jenkins, telling him to change his front by wheeling to the left and charge at the double quick, which was beautifully, done and the I grand charge along our entire line carried everything" before it. We had in our brigade at that time the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th regiments and the Palmetto Sharp Shooters, us fine a body of troops as was in the army. Only Captain Seabrook and myself were with General Jenkins in this charge. Our loss was very heavy. Captain Seabrook was killed, Colonel Glover of the 1st and Moore of the 2nd regiment, and four other field officers either killed or wounded. General Jenkins was wounded early in the charge, in the left breast and arm, but would not leave the field for some time after the enemy's line was broken. There was not in our army a braver or more gallant soldier than he. He seemed to he a bom soldier and was educated as one. Handarwrnn mul nrpnprnim lip W11S vprv nonnlar with his men and his brother officers and was among the youngest general officers in the army. His promotion for major geueral was on the way to him when he fell in the battle of the Wilderness, where our brigade did hard fighting with great loss of life. I heard General Longstreet compliment General Jenkins some time after the second Manassas by saying he never saw a maineuvre better executed under fire than his charging front, at double quick, in that action. Before General Jenkins left the field, some time after he was shot, he told me to 3ee who was in command of the brigade and tell him to push forward. I rode down the line and found Colonel Joseph Walker was the only colonel left. I told the gallant colonel that General Jenkins was wounded and he left the brigade in his charge to push forward the men. This was under a very hot fire, but Colonel Walker said : "We will run them in the 'Run' (Bull Run) or into darkness." It was then late in the evening he was good for his word. I hurried back and met General Jenkins and told him I had delivered his order to Colonel Walker, who was driving the enemy slowly, but as he could see, the fighting was terrible. I said to him, "General, you are badly wounded (he was becoming pale from the less of blood) please go to the surgeon, Colonel. Walker will carry the men through." It was then he looked to our right, and minting with his sword exclaimed : "See! There is General D. R. Jones. The day is ours! Tell him I am wounded and ask him to protect my flank." And he wheeled his noble charger, "Latta," and Hew across the field to the rear, to our field infantry, and the surgeon found him severely wounded. My horse, which was smarting and bleeding from two wounds, received the third under the right shoulder from a grape shot, which killed him almost instantly, just as General Jenkins gave me the message to General Jones. Seeing us both fall, (horse and myself,) he asked me if I was hurt. I said, "No, I will go on to General Jones." As I was going across the field I captured a good horse that came running by me, mounted him and soon met General Jones, whose division was coming across the field at double rjuick in line of battle, partially eschelon and left obliquely, to make connection with the right of our brigade, as he could move with greater rapidity marching that way, on acI'Aimf nf The nsitiire nf the irroiind. and lie knew the necessity of getting his troops into notion, as we had moved so rapidly and changing our front, left our flank exposed. That night Mr. Joe Witherspoon and myself got General Jenkins to a house a mile or more to the rear, where we secured a jood comfortable bed for him. He told me lie would take Mr. Witherspoon along with liini the next morning to the train for Kichinond and get a furlough to go home. I hid them adieu before day and hastened to join the brigade which I found about sunrise bivouacked near the "Run," which the enemy had crossed during the night. When I [ rode up, the gallant Colonel Walker and me or two other officers were at a cool spring and I was glad to see them still unhurt and in good spirits. I told 'them I had brought refreshments which General Jenkins bad sent them or given me in case they ivere wounded. It would not be objection-1 ible to some of them, as they had been unrolling and fighting for two or three lays?marching for over, a week. The day jeforc the final fight, our brigade was narched in line of battle from one position :o another and had some sharp fighting. I recollect seeing two men in Company A of lie Sixth South Carolina regiment (comliandcd by Captain LaFayette St rait, a galant and meritorious officer) hit by a piece of shell, which killed one and wounded the jther in the face. Captain John C. McFadlen, who was at that time orderly sergeant jf the company, said their names were West Culp and James Kitchens. Wo went iver to Maryland, following and running he Federals into their defences around Washington, we going 011 to Frederick city, llagerstown, etc., of which I may write hercifter. Colonel Walker commanded the brigade throughout that campaign and handled t very skillfully on the battlefields of South Mountain, and Sharpsburg. It was my privilege to be with him, as courier, through that campaign, though he had two extra couriers detailed from cavalry, from South Mountain till we reached Sheperdstown.

Of all the minor superstitions, perhaps tlie j nost prevalent is the one which is the sub-! ect of discussion in this article?that of sit- j ing thirteen at the table. An idea of its prevalence among all nations maybe obtained by adverting to the wcllknown facts' hat the Turks have almost expunged the j lumber (IS) from their vocabulary : that the i Italians never use it in making up the miniiers of their lotteries, and that the thirteenth ard in one of their games hears the figure >f death ; that no house in Paris hears the lumber IS. and that in that city the quartordcnes are recognized persons in society who lold themselves in readiness to be invited to i my dinner which otherwise would have the atal thirteen at the festal hoard. The thirteen superstition, briefly stated, is I hat if thirteen persons, either by accident. I >r design, dine together at the same table i me will die within a year. Its origin litis j icon traced hack to the old Norse mythology, n which occurs the story of the gods sitting lown to a feast with Loke in the Valhalla. I lialhiirwas the thirteenth at the table, and j lad to die. It is hardly likely, though, that j >o obscure a tradition connected with an an-1 ient faith, limited to so small a locale, would | ?e able to spread its pernicious influence so iroadeast over the earth. The ]>opluarly I accepted origin may be taken as the right one. The last supper which so immediately preceded the crucifixion of the Saviour, must always have excited a sentiment of awe in the breasts of the faithful, which, in an unenlightened age, easily degenerated into a feeling of superstitious terror. Leonardo da Vinci, in his famous painting on the wall in the refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa-Maria-dellu-Gracie, in Milan, unwittingly, perhaps, gave the first impulse to the superstition in the minds of the ignorant masses who beheld the twelve apostles and the Master at the table. To see before their eyes the fatal feast itself must have affected them far more profoundly than could the most eloquent sermon on the subject. In the picture, too, we see Judas in the act of spilling the salt; thus it is fair to presume that both superstitions have practically the same origin.?Belford's Magazine. B&T To dare is great.

DO YOU WANT A WATCH? 0 If You are a Subscriber to THE ENQUIRER, We Offer You a Bargain that You Cannot Duplicate in America?Plain, Straightforward Business. No Quibbling. WE congratulate our readers and ourselves on an arrangement we have just completed with one of the most reliable wholesale jewelry establishments in the United States by which we are enabled to furnish subscribers to Thk Enquirkr with reliable Watches, manufactured by the leading American companies, at , Srices never before heard of in this section, ow, before going any further, we desire to im- j press upon the subscribers of Thk Enquirkr the fact that these watches are not "bankrupt" goods, are not sold to close out or anything of , that style, but as we remarked above they are strictly first class and just as represented. We wish it distinctly understood that these watches are not offered as premiums, nor will they l>e sold to any one who is not a yearly sunscnner 10 The Enquirer. This is purely and simply a plan on our part to give a good thing to our subscribers if tliey want it. The American standard watches, the best time keepers in the world, are graded as seven, eleven, thirteen and fifteen jeweled, full jeweled and adjusted. Very few men?not one in five hundred?carry either an adjusted or even a fulljeweled watch. There is no reason why any subscriber to The Enquirer should not nave a watch carefully adjusted to heat, cold and position, nor why any subscriber should not have a trustworthy time-keeper. The Enquirer proposes to make "leaders" of the five styles described below. No. 093.?Is a nickel silver bassinc open face case, which will wear equal to coin silver, fitted with a 7 jewel American full niekle plate movement. This Watch is the equal for wear and time of a watch many times its cost. The regular retail price of the watch is 88.50, but we propose to furnish it to our subscribers for 85.35. If a reliable time-keeper is all you want this watch will meet your requirements. No. 095.?Is an 18 Size, open face 10 karat gold filled Montauk case, guaranteed to wear for 15 years and it will wear a great deal longer. It is titted with the same movement as No. 093. The regular retail price of this watch is 819.00. We propose to furnish it to our subscribers for 812.25. 1S F^S Ha BHF; SB ' -M jBH No. 802.?This a No. 18 size with open face. It has a silver filled case with screw back and screw bezel, which makes them dust proof. These cases are made by Joseph Fahys and are as durable in every particular as a solid silver case, the outside or exposed parts being made of solid coin silver. This case is fitted with a 15 jewel gilt Klgin or Waltliam movement, as the purchaser may prefer. The regular retail price of the watch is 822.00. Our price is 814.75. This watch is the equal as a time keeper of any watch on the market, and is intended especially for those who have heavy work to do. You can't make a mistake in buying this watch. Thealaive illustration shows the case with the back and bezel of! and on No. 058.?This is a lady's watch. It is a No. lisize, 13 jewel nickel Klgin movement, fitted to a genuine "Itoss 14 Karat" gold tilled case guaranteed to wear 20 years, and will wear much longer. If a Waltliam movement is preferred to the Klgin, we can furnish a 1 size Waltliam 13 jewel nickel movement fitted to a "Crescent" j | 14 karat gold tilled ease, guaranteed u? wear ; j years. The "Crescent" ease is equal in every { particular to the "lloss," and the reason lor fur- J I nishing the "Crescent" ease with the Waltham I movement is that it won't lit the "lloss" ease. | | The regular retail ]>riec of either of these watches | is?k).(R). Our price is?24.ad. These watches are, | | indeed, bealities, and any lady may he proud to | j carry either of them. The cases are what is called a "double" or hunting. i No. ft!-!.?Is a No. IS size, lloss hunting, 14 karat gold tilled ease guaranteed for 2u years, j The case is handsomely engraved?it is a beauty, i This case is lilted with a 15 jewel nickel Walj tham or gilt Klgin adjusted movement, with pat' cut regulator. This watch is undoubtedly one of i best made in the Cubed States, and the man who | buys one will have a watch which he can leave | to his son when he no longer needs a watch. ! : The regular retail price of the watch is Ajo.oo. | < >ur price is For the information "of those not familiar with ! gold tilled cases, we will say that a I I karat tilled 1 I case of either the lloss, l-'ahys or Crescent patent, | is equal in appearance and wearing qualities to a 14 karat solid cold case. There are probably 1 live gold filled eases sold to one solid gold ease, i which proves very conclusively that a large I majority of those persons who huy watches do ! not care to pay a big price for the douhtful I satisfaction of owning a solid gold case. , All the above deserihed watches are stem winders and stem setters, and are in every way j just as represented. Their appearance, in beauty ! of design and finish, is far better than we can I describe. Kcmciubcr, too, that they are sold to | you at these low ligures because von are a subscriber to Tiik Kxijt'i it Kit : and unless your j name is on our books, or a year's subscription t comes with your order, in addition to the price j of the watch, we cannot and will not sell you j a watch. Another point. These oilers must lie accepted ; exactly as we make them. As our profits are j very small, almost nothing; compared to profits ! made by dealers, we cannot be bothered with j correspondence further than the tilling of orders. I Select the style of watch you desire, send us the j money by bank draft, money order or registered i letter, and the watch will be promptly sent you. In ordering the watches order by the numbers given in Tni-: Kmji'ihkk. Then we will know j to a certainty just what particular watch you | desire. I All watches are sent, as a rule, by registered ! mail, and in any event we prepay all charges. | We do not keep any watches on hand, but every watch is sent direct from the wholesale dealers to the purchaser. It will take, there-j lore, from one to two weeks from the lime, you write us before your watch can reach you. Much watch is thoroughly tested before being I scut out, and will reach you in good condition. ; { Address all orders to I.KW1S M.l.'It 1ST. ' Yorkvilie, S. ' The Best Bargain Ever Offer A $45?
