An exchange relates the following good stories of candidates who thought they had tl received calls to preach the gospel: ! a; A young man of African descent offered ! u himself to the church as a minister, stating that he had a dream in which he plainly saw tl p : G. P. C. in large letters, which he interpre- sj ted to mean, go and preach Christ.

That settled the w matter and the church advised the young as- ai pirant for ministerial honors to follow the u: vision as interpreted by the venerable brother, sr A good many years ago John Smith, famil- c< iarly called "Raccon John," was pastor of a church in Eastern Kentucky. A half wit- ct ted enthusiast applied for license to preach, tl and all the persuasions and efforts of the dea- It cons and members failed to induce him to Ix abandon the idea. He honestly believed that (I he was called. The church was sorely per- tr plexed when the pastor arrived on his month- tt ly visit. When the matter was stated to 1c him, he advised the brethern to let it come up in conference. At the proper time, the ol young man, who happened to have large feet, ui presented himself as a candidate for the min- bi istry. "My brother," said the preacher, if I tc prove by the Bible that you are not called to preach,will you withdraw your application ?" g] "Yes," he answered without hesitation, n Opening the Book at Romans x, 5, Mr. Smith jf read: "How beautiful are the feet of those hi who preach the gospel of peace." Pointing n< to the pair of number twelves before him, he ai added, "your feet cannot be called beautiful, brother." The argument was conclusive c? and had the desired effect. Sc A Physician's Tall Yarn.?On one occasion, when several physicians had met, the w conversation ran to the extraordimary things which a human being might swallow and w still live, says Youth's Companion. ^ The familiar stories about swallowing silver dollars, sets of false teeth, and so on had CJ been related, when Dr. Longbow began to Ql speak. fQ "Two years ago," he said, "I was called C( in great haste to attend a carpenter in my tAwn t.hnnch the message said that beyond doubt the man was already dead, for he had ^ while holding a large gimlet in his mouth at ^ his work, suddenly been taken with a fit of hiccough and swallowed the gimlet. ^ "But when I arrived at the man's house I found him 'very comfortable.' The gimlet, gentlemen, gave him no trouble at all to di- L. gest." There was silence for a moment. Present- jg ly one of the other doctors remarked : "With you for his physician, Longbow, C the man was lucky that it was only a gimlet that he undertook to swallow." i "What do you mean ? Jti "Why, if he had tried to swallow one of ^ your stories it would have choked him to h death." |V The Old Judge's Second Marriage.? An old farmer of Shelby county, a life-long ? friend and admirer of the judge, met him some time since on the road as he was returning home from his law office in the city. The judge knowing his friend's pronenesa to talk out in meeting when John Barleycorn was *>' at the helm, retreated into a portion of the to coach occupied by a number of ladies, but ai the old man followed him, and standing in the aisle, addressed the judge as follows: "Judge, I want to live 2,000 years." "What for?" asked the judge. "Well,""said the old granger, "I want to vote for you for governor of Tennessee every two years for 2,000 years." "But," replied the judge, "I do not wish to live that long unless my wife can be with me all the time." The old man studied a moment, and a bright idea seemed to strike him by way of P* compromise: "Well, Judge, said he let's give the old i" woman 1,800 years. You'll want to marry again, anyhow, you know."?Louisville (Tenn.) Reporter. d? He .Was Absent-Minded.?An absentminded congressman once lost the vote of an entire faSnily by his carelessness.

The congressman <1* was biisv. and after some talk the visitor said: "We will remain in the city several day8." "I should be glad to have you do y< so," replied the member of congress as he ra fumbled a pile of papers on his desk. "We will come in and see you every now and ai then," chirped the visitor's wife.

TURPENTINE'S MANY USES. Turpentine is an article so widely used in le arts and easily obtained that its virtues 3 a domestic remedy have, in a great ineasre, been overlooked, says the Boston Globe. In the early stages of croup or almost any iroat or chest trouble it is well nigh a jecific. Rub the chest and throat until the tin is red, then tie a piece of flannel or >tton batting over the chest moistened with iw a drops of the oil, and inhale the vapor, y rubbing on sweet oil, irritation of the tin may be avoided. For burns it is invaluable, applied either ith a rag or in a salve. The pain vanishes id healthy granulation soon begins. Its se is at first attended with considerable narting, but the permanent good more than >mpensates for it. Turpentine in which is dissolved as much imphor as it will take up is preminently le dressing for laceration, bruises and cuts. a antiseptic action is equal to that of cardie acid; it speedily stops the bleeding lunter says "it is the best, if not the only ue]| styptic") allays the pain and hastens te process of healing. Few, if any, ulcers >ng resist its continued application. As a liniment, turpentine with equal parts f laudanum, camphor and chloroform is nsurpassed. Sprains, rheumatic pains, :uises, and sometimes even neuralgia, yield > its magic influences. As an inhalation turpentine has proven of eat service in bronchitis, pneumonia, pleusy and other throat and lung affections, you have a cough, sprinkle a little on a mdkerchief and hold to your mouth and >se for a few minutes, breathing the vapor, id note the relief. Internally turpentine has enjoyed for a sntury the reputation of being a specific for iatica. Its mode of operation is unknown, it that it cures stands as proof of its virtue en drops three times a day in sweetened ater is the dose. As a remedy for the bane of childhood, orms, it is well known. A teaspoonful ven in a half a glass of sweetened milk, flowed in an hour or two by a full dose of istor oil, seldom fails. The practice of ir grandmothers in giving it to us on sugar r coughs and sore throat was based on immon sense. A bath in a half pint of turpentine and vo pounds of sal soda in an ordinary bath, tree-quarters full of water, at 100? Farhenjit, will cure the itch when other remedies il. Three or four baths, one daily, are iually sufficient. Cotton soaked in olive oil and turpentine it in the ear often stops earache of the ost painful kind. In the hands of the physician turpentine of great value in typhoid fever, and of te is used in yellow fever with great suc!SS. And last, it is a sure antidote-tor piiosiorus, such as children often swallow when ley lunch on match heads. Five or ten :ops floated on water should be given every >ur till the danger is past. No oily or mulaginous substauces should be taken. If le stomach is unable to retain it, it may be ven as an enema in double the quantity. Keep turpentine in your house. WHAT ALL BOYS SHOULD KNOW.

Saving Pea Vine Hay.?A Mississippi >rrespondent gives his method of saving sa vine hay. Two or three hours after the ines are cut he has them heaped in piles, ,rge enough to heat. "It will take about vo days to heat good. You can tell when ie heaps are hot enough by running your and in, much better than a doctor can tell ie conditien of a patient by feeling his pulse, on't wait until it moulds. When it gets ot thrpw it out and let it cool one-half of a hour, then haul and pack it in the barn. "That is really the only sensible way to ire pea vine hay. Whenever a man advoitesjetting it stay in the hot sun until the aves drop off, and the vines get black and ack with mould, he simply does not knowhat he is talking about, and ought to be lade to sleep with that well-known old fogy ho goes to mill with a rock in one end of is bag, and a bushel of corn in the other. Starch and Starching.?According to emorests's Monthly, "the most simple, Fectual and in inexpensive addition to arch is kerosene, a dessert-spoonful of hich stirred in two quarts of starch immelately after the boiling water is added will revent sticking and be conducive to a fine uish. The gloss which distinguishes prossional laundry work is produced by vanis processes, one of which is to coat the arcles again and again with thick boiled j arch, ironing it in as long as the material ill absorb it, and then polishing with irons ade specially for the purpose. Collars, lffs and shirt fronts may be treated in this ay. Other garments usually require but ttle starch.

This school situated in the town of Huntersville, N. C., is the steady growth of a small beginning organized in the sessions room of the A. It. P. church. The church was used, as the school grew, until 1882 when a large frame building was erected, 60x25, one story high with rostrum and three movable partitions. The enterprise was a joint stock company, $50 being a share. It was found that this was too strait. A new company was organized and a commodious brick* building projected. Shares were placed at $100. Stock was taken by friends in and away from Huntersville. Commencement exercises were held in this building in the summer of 1887 and the recitation rooms were nrst occupied inai fall. The building is in a retired part of the town on a lot of two acres of land. There arc six large recitation rooms three on either side of a wide passage running the entire length of the house seventy feet. These rooms are comfortably ceiled and furnished with stationary blackboards, much necessary school furniture has been provided and additional needs to meet the growing wants will be furnished from time to time. The whole second story of this building, which is filly feet wide, is one large well ventilated auditorium, with a rostrum eighteen feet wide stretching across one end. This hall is well seated and lighted, and is used for daily chapel services, the declamation exercises, concerts and commencement exercises. A double stairway opens to the auditorium above. This stairway is covered by a projected roof supported by four large brick columns. Taken as a whole it is a well proportioned building, a structure well adapted to tlie purpose for which it was intended. The cost of the whole building was not less than $(>,000 dollars. The school has the following departments fully organized and under the care of a competent teacher. Primary, intermediate, classical, musical, art, business, military; prizes are offered in all these departments for the highest grade thus awakening dormant energies and stimulating to greater exertion. Quarterly examinations, written, are held and a system of daily marks is the basis on which distinction of scholarship is placed. The discipline of the school is kind but firm. Pupils who persistently violate the law are promptly dismissed. Young ladies during school hours occupy a separate room under the eye of a teacher and are carefully watched over while entrusted to our care. The religious advantages are mauy. Daily reading of the Scripture and prayer in the school, attendance on which is compulsory. The village church has a Sabbath-school, prayer meeting both for the congregation and young men and preaching every Sabbath. There are no spirituous liquors sold within thirteen miles of this place, and there is peritonei im !n thnro nre mnre liinns young persons. The design of the High School has been not to assume the name of a college nor its functions. But to act as a feeder to the colleges of our land and to prepare young persons for the active business of life. The Huntqrsvillc High School has made a record of which her founder and friends may justly be proud. She has representatives in the pulpit, has many students who take rank in Erskinc and other institutions, while a large number have gone out into useful employments. {The following are the officers and teachers: Rev.

Mr. William Newton, of the Barnum & Bailey establishment, could, we think, give points, as far as the care of elephants goes to the head equerry ofthe King of Oudo. We know now that the elephant ranges over a wide area, and thrives in fairly elevated lands near the snow levels. In this country, and in all zoological collections, lie attains a fair old age. Their trouble, Mr. Newton told us, was a tendency to chills. "You had to be careful how you watered them. If the water was too cold, they were taken with a colic; generally a good stiff drink of rum brings them round." "And what might you call a stiff drink?" I asked. "Oh, a gallon." "Show any signs of jollity ?" "Not a bit. As sober as judges. I have had to blanket serious cases of cramps. I take as many blankets as I can get, and steep them in hot water, and bind them round the elephant; and when he's swaddled up that way he looks huge. An elephant will take a gallon 01 OH, or wie sumu ihcubuiv ui linseed oil. He may be a sensible animal in some respects, but not in all. If hcipicks up a nail in his foot, which happens pretty often he will stop right away and show you his trouble, and let you take it out for him, and seem sort of grateful, but he doesn't hanker after medicine. The way we work him is to make him open his mouth. The oil we put in a galvanized iron bottle, and we place that on his tongue, force his head backwards, and down goes the oil. No harm ever is done him with the prods. It takes four or five hands to make an elephant take his medicine." I have always remembered a very clever book of Charles Keade's, Jack of all Trades, which gave a rather sinister view of an elephant, and I recall too a great deal of nonsense written about the cruelty of elephant prods. It would be absurd to try and manage an animal of such prodigious powers? the strongest that we know of?with a riding switch, and prods are necessities. An elephanticnows his keeper and obeys him ; may show a kind of respect, with some little affection for his master, but he has no liking for strangers. If I were left alone, with any show elephant, the keeper being absent, I should at once want to beat a hasty retreat. Never, through curiosity or carelessness, get yourself between an elephant and a wall, or you may have the life crushed out of you. The upshot of which is the Oriental mahoots or American keepers must have prods; and it is also fortunate for man that elephants have sensitive ears. "Quarreling among elephants is not common but we are careful not to put the males together. Their tempers differ; the females, however are rarely cross. Tn certain seasons we watch the males very carefully, for they become dangerous. There is an elephant we cured of a broken leg. It was a long job. We slung him and used splints and plaster. Elephants run down in flesh in summer because we work them, and they are a good deal knocked about, but in winter I they pick up. The tusks of the female, which i are short, have ragged ends, and inflict ugly wounds. When they are scarred we use carbolic salve. When they stand for a long time, we have to cut their toes and the soles of their feet. We use a rasp and a chisel, and do not have any trouble." When at Central Park, Mr. Conklin asked me to guess the circumference of an elephant's foot. I was ten inches out of the way. Taking the tine brute Tom in the menagerie, the keeper passed a cord around i one of the forefeet, and its circumference was 4 feet S inches. ''That,"said thesupci-j intendent, "ought to represent, when multi-j plied by 2, Tom's greatest elevation." Thereupon a second measure was taken, and Tom's height was !) feet 4 inches. I have had a circle with this circumference drawn in chalk on the lloor, and it occupies about the room of an ordinary teatable. The! greatest diameter is only obtainable when ! the elephant is on his feet; then there | is expansion of the massive toes. The books \ give the foot circumference as one of the j rough ways used in India to get at the height | of an elephant.?Harper's Weekly.

I I % DO YOU WANT A WATCH? o If You area Subscriber to THE ENQUIRER, We Offer You a Bargain that You Cannot Duplicate in America?Plain, Straightforward Business. No Quibbling. WE congratulate our renders and ourselves on an arrangement wo have just com- r pleted with one of the most reliable wholesale " jewelry establishments in the United States by which we are enabled to furnish subscribers to The Enquirer with reliable Watches, manufactured by the leading American companies, at Rrices never before heard of in this section, ow, before going any further, we desire to impress upon the subscribers of The Enquirer tiie fact that these watches are not "bankrupt" [roods, 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 ire not offered as premiums, nor will they bo mid to any one who is not a yearly subscriber to The Enquirer. This is purely and simply a plan on our part to give a good tiling to our subscribers if they want it, and at a reasonable price. ? -? i?j ?i.i 11.. i , ? iiu vMiiuriL-un Minimum wuicucs, iu? num. umv keepers in the world, are graded as seven, eleven, thirteen and fifteen jeweled, full jeweled and adjusted. Very few men?not one in five hun11?('arrJ' either mi adjusted or even a full jeweled watch. There is no reason why any subscriber to Thk Enquiukr should not nave a watch carefully adjusted to heat, cold and position, nor why any subscriber should not have a trustworthy time-keeper. TnK Knquihku proposes to make "leaders" of the five styles descrined below. No. (i9.'l.?Is a nickel silver bassinc open face case, which will wear equal to coin silver, fitted with a 7 jewel American full nicklc 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 $8.50, but we propose to furnish it to our subscribers for $5.35. If a reliable time-keeper is all you want this watch will meet your requirements. No. (>95.?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 ( litted with the same movement as No. (>93. The I regular retail price of this watch is $19.00. We c propose to furnish it to our subscribers for$12.25. No. 802.?This a No. 18 size with open face. ? It has a silver tilled case with screw back und r screw bezel, which makes them dust proof, t These cases are made by Joseph Fahys and are s as durable in every particular as a solid silver case, the outside or exposed parts being made of t solid coin silver. This case is fitted with a 15 1 jewel gilt Elgin or Walthani movement, as the t purchaser muy prefer. Tiie regular retail price i of the watch is $22.00. Our price is $14.75. This 1 watch is the equal as a tiino keeper ofnny watch r on the market, and is intended especially for those who have heavy work to do. You can't i make a mistake in buying this watch. c No. 058.?This is a lady's watch. It is a No. r G size, 18 jewel nickel Elgin movement, fitted to a genuine "Boss 14 Karat" gold filled case guar- I anteed to wear 20 years, and will wear much s longer. If a Waltham movement is preferred to i tho Elgin, we can furnish a 1 size Waltham t 18 jewel nickel movement fitted to a "Crescent" i 14 karat gold filled ease, guaranteed to wear 20 < years. Tlio "Crescent" case is equal in every particular to the "Boss," and tho reason for fur- c nishing the "Crescent" caso with the Walthhm movement is that it won't tit the "Boss" case. The regular retail price of either of these watches is $40.00. Our price is $24.50. These watches are, ] indeed, beauties, and any lady may be proud to ] carry either of them. The cases are what is ] called a "double" or hunting. i No. 524.?Is a No. 18 size, Boss hunting, 14 karat gold tilled case guaranteed for 20 years. The case is handsomely engraved?it is a beauty. , This case is fitted with a 15 jewel nickel Wal- , tham or gilt Elgin adjusted movement, with pat- j ent regulator. This watch is undoubtedly one of , best made in the United 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 $50.00. Our price is $20.75. For the information of those not familiar with { gold filled cases, we M ill say that a 14 karat filled , case of either the Boss, Fahys or Crescent patent, r is equal in appearance and M-earing qualities to ( a 14 karat solid gold case. There are probably live gold filled cases sold to one solid gold case, which proves very conclusively that a large . majority of those persons who buy M'atchcs do not care to pay a big price for the doubtful satisfaction of OM'ning a solid gold case. All the above described M'atches are stem M'iiulers and stem setters, and are in every M*ay just as represented. Their appearance, in beauty . of design and finish, is far better than we can describe. Remember, too, that they are sold to | you at these low figures because^rou are a sub scrincr 10 X IIK JV.MilllliMi ; aim uuit-i? JUU1 muiio is on our books, or a year's subscription conies with your order, in addition to the price of the watch, we cannot and will not sell you a watch. Another point. These oilers must be accepted exactly as we make them. As our profits are very small, almost nothing compared to profits made by dealers, we cannot lie bothered with correspondence further than the filling of orders. Select the style of watch you desire, send us the money by bank draft, money order or registered letter, and the watch will be promptly sent you. In ordering the watches order by the numbers given in Tick Enquirer. Then we will know to a certainty just what particular watch you | desire. All watches are sent, as a rule, by registered j 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 j dealers to the purchaser. It will take, therefore, from one to two weeks from the time | you write us before your watch can reach you. | Each watch is thoroughly tested before being , sent out, and will reach you in good condition. , Address all orders to ( LEWIS M.

It is i used in every State and Territory and is heartily ' mil enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer i 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 i L-rops, saves time and saves labor. 'Oie Harrow is made of first-class material throughout, and with proper care will do good work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay for itsel fa dozen tiibes over. The wheels or disks 1 ire made of the very best of steel, and will neither hreak, 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 t land. The following are some of the points of supe- I rioritv possessed by the Corbin Harrow : i 1. ft 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 thegangs are i independent of each other?either can fit or follow an inequality without disturbing the other. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes and anti-l'riction balls. 4. It is the only Harrow that has a successful Seeder Attachment. It is the only combined Harrow and Seeder that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a drill. (i. The Corbin is uneqMuled for lightness of' draft and power as a pulverizer.

Kvery Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, i* arranged ho that a Seeder can be attached to it. The Seed box ajid its maehinery are of the moat ample and eompaet character. All its metal parts are of malleable or refined wrought Iron. Its weight i? (of the size to lit the No. 7,12-diak Harrow) altout eighty pounds. The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure. It locks itself tirmly to the Harrow mime by simply putting it into position. Neither bar, bolt, wedge, key, scrow or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, 110 hammer, wrench or other tool is required to attach 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, cover it better, and place it at any depth in the ground. It is two complete implements in one. It prepares the tield in the best possible manner for seeding imd then sows the rrop. It sows RED RUST PROOF OATS capitally. No improved tanning implement has ever been introdueedlin this section that has received such universal and hearty endorsement from the farmers, and they are thoroughly qualified to estimate its value. If you test it you are sure to sing its praises too. You need one to put in that big crop of wheat and oats you have resolved to sow, especially if v you want to get it in at a small cost and in a mannerthat will insure a good yield. The manufacturers of the Corbin Harrow recommend the No. 7 12-I)isk Harrow us being best adapted for general farm work. ( SAM M. GRIST, Yorkville, S. C. J 3FING COMPANY, IRON ORE PAINT And Cement, /.
