| gtuttwrous department. Neither "Yes" or "No."?"Do you think, then, that the defendant was in the right ?" asked a young lawyer of an elderly and cautious witness at the court house on Friday. "Well, were it not that?" "Come, come," interrupted the lawyer. "We have had enough of 'wells' and 'buts.' I ask you a plain question?I want a plaip answer. Was he right ? Yes or no?" "I really cannot reply 'yes' or 'no' to such a question. Either answer would be misleading. You see, I?" "Do you mean to say, sir," stormed the lawyer, working himself into a great state of indignation, "that you could frame a question to which I could not reply yes or no ?" "Certainly I could," said the old gentleman, quietly. "Then let us hear it," said the man of law, turning with a smile of incredulity to the judge and jury. "By all means let us hear it." Calmly the old gentleman settled his eyeglasses on his nose, and leaning on the edge of the witness-box, he regarded the lawyer lor a second or two. "Will you tell us," he asked, very deliberately, "whether in your own opinion?in your own opinion, mind you?I cannot conceive any one else entertaining the slightest doubt whatsoever on the matter?whether you are as big a fool as you look ?" When the roar of laughter from bench, bar, jury and spectators at the young lawyer's dilemma died away, the latter was heard to faintly intimate that he had finished with the witness. Peter's Cure for a Cold.?Peter is a very black colored man who aids in ro small degree in making life pleasant for the patrons of the Hofftnan House. He is a quaint talker as well as an attentive waiter. Many of the old guests of the hotel chat familiarly with Peter, and asks his advice about various matters. One gentleman who for several days has been struggling with a severe cold ran across Peter the other evening, and after chaffing the good natured waiter for a while said: "Peter you know e little of everything. Can't you give me a cure for this cold ?" "Yaas, sah." "What is it?" "Well, kunnel, you jess git sm' onion? boiled onions?and chop 'em up in black m'lasses. Den jess take plenty of black pepper and sprinkle it on ; aen put in some good Jamaica rum and a little turpentine. 8tew dat all up until it gets well cooked, and den"? "Yes, what then ?" asked the man with the cold, wondering whether the remedy suggested was for external or internal application. "And den," said Peter, with a serious shake of his head, "den you'd bettah see a doctah." The Scotsman and the Echo.?Some strangers of distinction were visiting the scene of a celebrated echo in the Western Highlands, being led to the place by a sturdy Highlander. On reaching the spot where a trial was to be made, the guide put his hands to his mouth and bawled out a sentence in Gaelic, which was faithfully retransmitted to the ears of his auditors. Thereupon one of the gentlemen, with a view to trying the strength of his voice, called out, "How far are we from home ?" and back rolled the echo in language quite as distinct as that sent across. "Weel, weel, did you ever ?" exclaimed the guide. "That is the first time, gentlemen, I ever knew the echo to speak English." "Oh, that is nothing," said one of the gentlemen, laughing at the simplicity of the guide, and he repeated a few questions in French, Spanish and Italian, to Donald's mystification and bewilderment. "Weel, weel, shentlemen," said Donald at last, when he had recovered from his bewilderment, "whaur that echo has got his eddication beats me to tell, for he's never been oot o' the country sae lang as my faither an' me can mind o'." Cleveb "Bulls."?The following notice is on an Irish church door: "This is to give 1 notice that no person is to be buried in this j churchyard but those living in the parish. I Those who wish to be buried are desired to apply to me, Ephriam Grubb, parish clerk." Here is another kindred specimen: "The church wardens will hold their quarterly meetings once in six weeks, instead of half yearly as formerly." In the April of 1806 the following bill was stuck up: "This house is to be let forever or longer, if required." Such a house would quite match the gown mentioned by Miss Edgeworth "which would wear forever, and might be converted into a petticoat afterward." Another peculiar garment is described in one of Lady Morgan's earlier novels, as being composed of an apparent tissue of woven air. fST Assemblyman Tim Barnard, of Butte county, who is among the guests at the Grand hotel, says the San Francisco Call, has a little niece recently out from Kentucky, who although but 12 years old, is well up in politics, and inclined to be facetious at her distinguished uncle's expense. The genial assemblyman relates that he met his little niece a few days ago, and she began at once to ask questions about the politics of California. . "Now, uncle," she inquired with all seriousness, "what is a hold-over senator?" The matter was fully explained, and after listening patiently sne said: "wen,tnaiisn i what we call a hold-over in Kentucky." "What is the difference ?" "In Kentucky we give that name to any senator who can hold-over a quart and walk." 86T There is, in St. Paul, a certain preacher, of Hibernian antecedents, who considers himself to be in direct communication with the well of English undefiled, and is generally credited with the possession of as rich a brogue as can be found anywhere in Tipperary. Some mention was made of his peculiar pronunciation at a church meeting, which greatly angered him. He immediately called upon one of his leading parishioners, and, after complaining of the injustice done him, asked whether, in his opinion, a single trace of the brogue was to be observed in his speech. "Well," his friend answered, "if you wish to deny it, I should advise you to do so in writing." ttaT A witness was testifying that he met ? the defendant at breakfast, and the latter called the waiter and said? "One moment," exclaimed the counsel for the defense, "I object to what he said." Then followed a legal argument of about an hour and a half on the objection, which was overruled, and the court decided that the witness might state what was said. "Well, go on and state what was said to the waiter," remarked the winning counsel, flushed with the legal victory. "Well," replied the witness, "he said, 'Bring me a beefsteak and fried potatoes.' " Jgy Wife?Such a dream as I had last night, dear." Husband?May I hear about it?" "Well, yes. I dreamed that I was in a great establishment where they sold husbands. There were beauties; some in glass cases and marked at fearful prices, and others were sold at less figures. Girls were paying out fortunes, and getting the handsomest men I ever saw. It was wonderful." "Did you see any like me there, dear?" "V/vn T.it-f no T woo lnorinfr T QflW a wVlftlp X CO, U UOl tto X UUO IVU <U^ * ** MP .. p.v.v lot like you lying on the remnant counter." I&* "The accident, madam," said the young surgeon, encourageingly, as he made preparations to sew up the wound in the lip the infant had received by falling down a stairway, "will leave a scar, of course, but twenty years from now, when the little fellow has grown to be a man and raised a mustache, it won't show a bit." "It isn't a baby of that kind, doctor," replied the anxious but entirely self possessed mother. 86F" It is related of the late Dr. Hodge, of Princeton Theological Seminary, that he once asked a student for a definition of eternity. The student, after some hesitation, replied that he used to know the definition, but had forgotten it. "0 my, my, my!" exclaimed Dr. Hodge, bringing his hand down forcibly upon the table. "What a calamity! The only man in the universe that ever knew v what eternity is, has forgotten." #6?" "What did that lady have the screen across one end of the room for. ma ?" asked little Johnny, who had been making a call with his mother. "I suppose she had something there she didn't want seen," replied his mother. "And was that the reason, ma, that when you thought she wasn't looking you peeped behind it ?" ?hc ^atm and JtRtjiie. Saving Seed Corn.?The great value of seed corn is my excuse for once more, and now, just in the nick of time, referring to this subject. It is a very easy matter for the practiced eye and the skillful hand to pick out a good seed ear while husking corn. As you go through the rows with a wagon save a few shucks on every good seed ear and throw these in a pile in one end of the wagon, to be braided up when the day's work is done. Good seed should be of one color, the rows on the cob should be perfect and should be of the same number ; the ends should be well filled out with plump seeds. It is well enough to save plenty of ears, even more than you may need for your own use. It may sell at a good price, or you can do a neighbor a good turn; or, if rightly handled, it will keep for years. The orrpat value of corn for sc many uses, especially for feeding and fattening all kinds of live stock, seems to be rightly estimated by our experimental stations. We do not at this moment recall any domestic animal that will not eat it and thrive on it. Even, cats will eat it when cooked, and a farm dog will go to the crib and get an ear of hard corn and eat it with much relish. While it has been often proved and by the press set forth, that with the proper culture and on a good soil, from 80 to 100 bushels can be grown on an acre, the great corn States of Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska, will not average over thirty-five bushels per acre, and Missouri even less. < Now is the time, and the best time, to save your seed corn. ( After it is saved keep the rodents away , from it, and do not hang it up in a granary where wheat, oats or other small grain is stored. Such a course is fatal to its germination.?Charles W. Murtfeldt, in Republic. Preserve the Ashes.?There is a greater or less quantity of ashes made on every Southern farm, and in every household that has a garden plat. The ashes should not be I thrown out in some out of the way place and exposed to the weather. Instead of doing this put them in boxes or barrels, and wet them enough to produce rotting, but not water enough afterward to leach them. Do just as you would as if you intended , to make soap ( or lye), but do not leach out the potash. Ashes that have been well rotted before ] applying to the soil act as promptly on vegetable growth as so much kainit, and three or four hundred pounds of such rotted ashes 1 will have as marked an effect on crops the first season as any other potash fertilizer. There is all the difference imaginable in using ashes thus rotted on Irish potatoes or any other as quickly maturing plants as it is. If not rotted in advance it may not be i able to supply the necessary potash to the first crop. We do not remember of any writer calling attention to the fact, but it is 1 worthy of being considered. ! Ashes will rot in the soil ultimately, to be sure, but this rotting may not occur rapidly j enough to benefit the first crop to which they < are applied, if the weather should be unfavorable to the operation. It is so easy to rot them before applying to the soil that , there is no reason why they should not be put in condition to act promptly. Germinating Nuts.?The only reason 1 why many persons fail to make such nuts as pecans, hickory nuts, English walnuts and 1 chestnuts germinate when planted is that i they allow them to get thoroughly dried before they are placed in the ground. For , pecans, shell bark, hickory nuts, butternuts, filberts and other hard shell kinds there is no better place to store them during the winter than in heaps of sand piled upon some shady spot on the open ground. First place a layer of the nuts, then a layer of sand, then a layer of nuts, and proceed in 1 this way until your stock of nuts is exhaust- ] ed and cover the heap with six inches of good soil or sods and leave all undisturbed < until spring; then take out and plant in 1 drills. If there is danger of mice or squir- ' i rels carrying away the nuts, place them in I ?-11 Vk/VVAO OAtrownr with tnrA npf,- 1 wen uraiucu uuaw vv?vih.6 ??.. ting. Chestnuts may be stored in the same 1 way, but the sand should be clean and the < boxes set where the water from melting snows will quickly drain off. i Fresh imported English walnuts buried in ] the fall or any time in the early winter will ( usually germinate quite freely. Imported filberts are sometimes gathered before quite ( mature, and for this reason fail to grow, but . if the kernels are plump when obtained there , is no danger of failure if kept cool and moist during the winter.?American Agriculturist. , Valuable Cures.?We once saved the ' life of an infant which had been inadvertent- ! ly drugged with laudanum, and was fast sinking into the sleep which has no awakening, by giving it strong coffee cleared with 1 I the white of an egg, a teaspoonful every five minutes until it ceased to seem drowsy. If a person swallow any poison whatever, i or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous < remedy, more efficient and applicable in a larger number of cases than any half-dozen medicines we can now think of, is a heaping teaspoonful of common salt and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a teacup of water, warm or cold, and it is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing ( with it the remaining contents of the stom- , ach ; and lest there be any remnant of poison, however small, let the white of an egg, or a teacup of strong coffee, be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet; because these ; very common articles nullify a larger number of virulent poisons than any medicines in the shops.?Hall's Journal of Health. JST Col. Scott, of Iowa, who is an extensive farmer and close observer, writes thus of the artichoke. My hogs seem to thrive i upon them as well as when fed with corn, and for stock hogs they are better. I regard them as being in no small degree an antidote for hog cholera. I found the yield to be nearly 1,000 bushels per acre. After , digging all I desire to store, i turn my nogs in, and they complete the work, and at the same time their droppings enrich the land. The white variety is more hardy and more prolific than the Brazilian or red artichoke. I find it a profitable crop, even on thin lands. Sunflower Seed.?It is generally understood that sunflower seed is excellent food for poultry; now is the time to save seed. The best variety is the large Russian, which it is said, hangs its heads down in such position that the English sparrows and other j birds that are fond of seed cannot easily I perch on the head and pick out the seeds. Sunflowers will grow well on good corn land, I and should be planted in rows four feet | apart, seeds about one or two to a foot; run i the cultivator often enough to keep them | clean. > ? ? i 86?"

Public Good recently contained the annexed spiteful paragraph : "The Confederate brigadiers propose to erect a memorial to the women of the South who so vigorously seconded the war of the rebellion, and are looking around for a fitting statue wherewith to surmount the pedestal. If the projectors will look through their heathen mythology they will find a most appropriate representative of those they propose to honor in Ate, the daughter of Jupiter, who is represented as 'hovering over the heads of mortal men, everywhere sowing dissensions, broils and ruin.' If ever there were fiends in the guise of angels they were the women of the South during the struggle made by that section to destroy the Union, and Ate was their goddess." This paragraph elicited from Major Walter F. Halleck, a wounded Union veteran, a 3tinging reply, which is published in the 1 T\ !__ A 1.1 Jamestown uauy ouu. aiuuu^ uuht tilings Major Halleck says: "A man claiming American citizenship who could write and publish such an article as above referred to, reflecting on the ladies of that section of the republic that gave us a Mary and Martha Washington, is both a disgrace to his country and the honorable profession of journalism, and is more to be avoided than a frothing cur at this season of the year. How the half-fed, half-clothed and shoeless soldiers of the South fought we know well who have met them on the battlefield, and we know, too, that it was not the superior bravery of the Northern soldiers that made them masters of the situation. Shortly after the battle of Gettysburg, President Lincoln was being shown over the battlefield. "Here," said the general who was escorting him, "here on the brow of this hill stood our brave men, who three different times repelled the assaults of the rebels. I shall always be proud to know, Mr. President, that the men who held these heights were American citizens." "And I," replied President Lincoln, "shall always be proud to know that the brave men who charged up these heights, and though re pulsed, charged again and again, were likewise American citizens." The war brought the fighting portions on both sides to respect and admire each other. Now we can all take an American pride in the heroism of both armies and lay aside that element of malice which belongs to the murderer rather than the true soldier. But if there was any ene thing more than another that called forth the admiration of every true American?yes, ef the civilized world?during the late war It was the loyalty, fortitude and devotion shown by the mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts of the men who from patriotism entered the army to preserve the union, Or who from principle espoused the fortunes of their native States and the Confederacy. But in very few instances were the women of the North, in addition to the irreparable loss ef loved ones, brought face to face with the actual horrors of the battlefield. Their fathers, husbands, sons were not shot down in or near their own door yards; the torch was not applied to their homes before their eyes; their homes were not pillaged, robbed by the enemy. Oh, the women of the South knew what war meant with all its horrors. Of course, they cannot forget it, yet they forgive ; and if this is not proof they are angels in the guise of mortals, where on earth will you find it?" "Remember it was these same lad ies of the South who, just after the war, were the first to discover that there - were flowers enough in their section of the republic to decorate the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers alike. This noble and forgiving act will never be forgotten while a man worthy the name of soldier survives here in the North. The South had her heroes no less than the North, and I heartily say God bless the ladies' monument association of the South. They were true, devoted to their loved ones in war's darkest hour. They are true to their memory, and it was the chivalrous gentlemen of the South who thus first suggested to honor the women who are purely and typically American. They are proud of their ancestry, and they have a right to be. And while they will ever live in history and in the hearts of all their country men, they deserve a memorial the grandest and most beautiful known to the world of art, and the gentlemen who propose it will, I am sure, have it so." FALLING IX LOVE TOO YOUNG. A correspondent, who says she has a son 18 years old and a daughter nearly 16, requests us to "tell her some way to keep them from falling in love too soon." She says they are both very bright and good children," but also "very susceptible." She is afraid her son will "fall in love with a pretty face before he is 20 years old, and mar his fortune." She is still more solicitous as to what may come of her daughter's "susceptibility," because, "sbe is ot a romantic and dreaming nature." The anxious mother is the representative of a class which numbers thousands. There are not many things which cause more maternal solicitude than the fear that a son or daughter will he led while young, into a foolish or disastrous marriage. Among the most prolific provocatives of such youthful folly are idleness, lack of mental occupation and the restlessness and dissatisfaction which are usually induced by such stagnant conditions. Therefore we say to any mother who does not want her son to fall in love with a pretty face before a beard grows on his own: Give him something to do. Let his mind be occupied. Employment is one of the best safeguards as well as one of the best remedies for that intermittent youthful fever, mistakenly called love. Furthermore, try to inspire your son with youthful ambitions, which will lift him above his petty desires, and make him eager to achieve a manly and useful career. As for your daughter, as soon as she leaves school, give her something to do, also; something useful and elevating. She will miss the daily routine of school life, with its exercise, occupation and discipline of mind. Undoubtedly, she will fancy that the change is delightful ; but she will soon become dissatisfied ; her life will be full of restlessness, her heart full of longing, and before you are aware she will fall desperately in love with some moustached boy; possibly a harmless, probably a worthless, perhaps a villainous fellow, who, like herself, had nothing to do. Satan not only "finds some mischief still for idle hands to do," but he also provides many ways for idle young people to commit sad and sometimes irretrievable blunders. One of his most effective lures is that kind of affection, erroneously called love, which is generated by the restlessness and dissatisfaction caused by idleness and vacuity of mind. Therefore those parents who wish to save their sons and daughters from the evils that come of falling in love too young, should give them plenty to do, so they may "not rust in idleness, but shine in use." Gl'NS AND GUNPOWDER. "Every great gun our nation owns at Watertowu costs as much as would a schoolhouse capable of accommodating 500 pupils. Every discharge of one of these cannon cost a sura sufficient to pay half the expenses of a young man in college," was an impressive statement of the present situation made by Frank A. Hill, headmaster of the Cambridge High school, in the Old South lecture, when he spoke of the beneficial effect of the discovery of gunpowder. The points in argument through which he showed powder to be a civilizing agent, follow : Gunpowder had existed before Christ's time, in China; but in this world it matters less what we use than how we use it. Three sorts of men have impressed themselves on Europe?the man on horseback, the man with a cflnnon, and the man with a musket. These represent the aristocracy, monarchy and democracy. It was cannon balls that demolished castles and feudalism. Before the cannon the castle was strong, and lorded it over the country. In the days of castles this was a hard world to live in except for the man on top. The growth of monarchy marked an advance in freedom. It was. better for the people to be ruled by a central power that kept under its st rong control the multitude of barons who plundered them. The Moors probably brought the knowledge of gunpowder into Europe. But gunpowder was costly. Only the most rich and powerful could possess it. Kings began to use gunpowder against the baronial castles. Curiously enough, artillery was used before musketry. The French peasantry rose against their oppressors ; but what could the peasant with his knife or scythe do against the knight in steel? But as Carlyle said, "Gunpowder made all men of equal height.' Artillery was first used in open battle at Cre cy. At the siege of Constantinople, in 1452 the old methods of warfare and the new wer seen side by side.

Har and Guthrie us to the value of the Corbin DisI Ha rrow, should, we think, bo convincing to am ma i who knows either or both of these gentle me t either personally or by reputation. Rea< what they say: Chester, 8. C, Marcli 27,1890. 8am M. Grist, Yorkville,8. C.: Dear Sir: i hav owned a Corbin Disk Harrow for several years, an consider It the most useful and economical farmin implement of whicli I have any knowledge. Mi Corbin has done more for the farmer than all th politicians, reformers, etc., combined. He has don something practical. No farmer can fail to be ben< fitted by the use cf the Hairow, and the more it i used the greater the benefit or proilt. It is almost th only so-called improved farming implement that have ever seen that would do all its manufacturer claimed for it, and the only one that would do mon Every farmer should have one and a man who is abl to buy fertilizers for his land is more able to buy Corbin Disk Harrow. The time will come when th Corbin Disk Harrow will be considered as much of f.n the farm as the wugon, sewing machlnt cooking stove, and I might say, the plow; ana tn sooner it comes the better for the farmer. It onl takes a farmer, who has been accustomed to the ol way of doing things, about one hour to realize hoi much time and labor he has literally wasted befor he used the Corbln Harrow. In conclusion, let m say that I would not pretend to farm without it. Respectfully, W. Holmes Hardin. Guthriesville, S. C., July 5,1889. Ham M. Grist, Yorkvllle, S. C.: Dear Sir?I have Ccrbin Disk Harrow which I have been using for sei eril years, and consider it the most valuable farmin implement of which I have any knowledge. I use m D\sk Harrow In sowing all of my small grain, and 1 does the work better than any implement I have eve ufed. Land that has been cultivated in cotton c corn may be sown without any preparation whatevei and an ordinary hand, with two mules, can sow an cover six to eight acres in a day. All that is necessar is to sow the seed on the ground, and then run th Harrow over it one time; but better results will b obtained if the Harrow is run over the ground two c three times. As a time and money saver, aside fror the superior quality of work it does, its value ca hardly be estimated at the seasons at which the sma g:*ain is sown. The Harrow is very usefhl in pulvei li ing rough plowed land of any kind, especially boi toms, ana it will pay any farmer to use one. UnlJk the ordinary tooth, or Acme Harrow, It not only pu verizes the surface, but will pulverize to the depth t which the plow has gone ana often deeper. It can b used to advantage on land that is too wet to plov without injury to the land. There should, in m opinion, be a Disk Harrow on every well regulate firm, and in my opinion no harrow yet Introduced i equal to the Corbin in simplicity, durability an thoroughness of work. Respectfully, R. E. Guthrie. Now you have resolved that you are goin to sow a big crop of wheat and oats this fall You need a Disk Harrow in order to be able t put them in properly and at small cost, and above all, in order to secure a good yield. Yo should not delay purchasing the harrow anothe day, as my supply is limited and it will lie som time before another invoice can be shipped froi: the factory. SAM M. GRIST, Sole Agent.
