Not Much ok a Lift.?Farmers, eveu
those who are considered rather "nigh" in (
other respects, are usually quite willing to
give foot-passengers a "liftbut they like 1
to be asked for the favor politely. A native
ofHillville was returning from the county 1
fair at Brookby with an empty wagon, when
he overtook a smartly dressed young man i
who was plodding along with the disgusted
air of one unused to country roads and sandy ,
soil.
"Hullo, hayseed!" cried the foot-passen
ger, turning around as he heard the rattle of
wagon wheels, and standing still until the '
farmer drove up. "Can a fellow get a lift
to 'Sconset?" and without waiting for a
reply, he vaulted into the wagon. "I might 1
as well ride with you as to walk, I guess. 1
Now, then, start up your nag."
The farmer looked at the young man a
little sharply, but said nothing beyond a
"Git-ap !" addressed to his horse.
After two or three miles had been travers- i
ed, the young man paused for a moment in
his inconsequent chatter and remarked:
"It's more of a distance to 'Sconset than I
supposed."
"It is quite a distance,responded the
farmer, in a non-committal tone.
Another twenty minutes passed, and then
the young man inquired:
"About how far is it to 'Sconset ?"
"Well," replied the farmer, "keepin' ^
straight ahead, the way we're goin' naow,
I sh'd say 'twould be a matter o' twentyfive
thaoiisand miles or so ; but ef so be you
was favorable t' gettin' aout o' my wagon
an' hoofin' it back, it ain't much above eight
miles." |
The young man got out with great celerity,
and proceeded to "hoof it" in the opposite
direction.
"I cal'late," said the farmer, telling his 1
wife the story afterward, "I cal'late his
mode of addressin' th' next man he meets
will be some diff'rent."
Thought the Lord's Arrangement
Best.?A New England man who a few 1
years since settled in North Georgia has
found the farming methods?or lack of
methods?prevailing there a great trial to i
his ideas, educated as they are by Northern
farms.
The little piece of scrap iron used there
for a plow is the most exasperating of all I
the many goads to the temper of the Ver- i
mooter, and against this implement he has i
vowed eternal warfare.
Riding one day during the plowing season \
past the red clay and cobblestones of what <
Bill Nye calls the "erect farms" of North |
Georgia, he noted the enactment of the usual
farce by a neighboring farmer. Calling the (
loose-jointed Cracker to the fence, he deliv- ,
ered a lecture to him on how to plow and (
what kind of tools to use.
"Why do you persist," said the Northern j
man, warmly, "in obstinate fooling along ,
year after year, scratching around among
these stones with a plow like a jackknife, '
putting your seed on top of the ground, getting
a cotton plant only where it happens to j
come up by good luck? You have been
told over and over the right way. Now, '
# why in the thunder don't you adopt it?"
The farmer quietly listened, chewing hard '
on his mouthful of tobacco, while his adviser <
continued even more hotly : <
"For instance, look at the way you are
plowing now. Why don't you have a plow 1
* ? '* ?a a. ??j 4 ?* >> ; ,
inai Will cut iuiu me givuuu nuu tuiu it .
over in a decent furrow? That thing you <
use only scratches the soil ; you don't even
turn the weeds under." i
"Wall, stranger," said the soft-voiced
Cracker in answer, "hit's "this a-way, I |
reck'n. Seems like when the Lord Almighty
made thegroun', He knowed which |
side o' hit orter be up'most. I reck'n I ain't <
going back o' His 'rangements !"?New j

A New Discovery.?In "Cracker" cabins (
in North Georgia, no matter how cold the
. - weather, both doors, back and front, stand
open from daylight till dark, the year
through. This perhaps is accounted for by 5
the fact that there are no windows in the 1
houses, and the doors are kept open for j
light. 1
One bitter cold winter's day, while hunting
for a workman, a Northern superinten- '
dent of the Georgia Marble company went 1
inn nf tKnoo /??hin? nnft found the 1
IUIV vuv VI WMWV VMWIMV)
whole family, blue with cold, huddled over a 1
few pine sticks in the fireplace. Every door
was open, and the icy wind was sweeping t
through the room unhindered. <
Before proceeding to business, ibe North- t
erner banged to the doors, threw several 1
logs on the coals, and soon had things
steaming. As they grew comfortable, he '
remarked : c
"Now, don't you see how quickly you t
warm up when you keep the wind out? J
See what a difference it makes to shut the
doors." r
The thawed-out Cracker turned to his (
wife quite energetically and said : c
"Wife, danged if hit ain't so ! Dou't for- ]
get it. When hits cold arter this, le's shet
the do'." j
No Wonder He Changed.?"Are you 11
the man who painted that 'ere picture of "]
fMoses in the Bulrushes?' " asked a countryman
of an artist, who had recently startled t
the town bv an exhibition of oil paintings, j
"Yes," replied the artist. }
"All right; then I want you to paint my j
father."
"Certainly, if he gives me a few sittings."
"Can't do it; he's dead."
"Let me have a photograph of him." ^
"Can't do that, neither. He never had .
his picture taken."
"I am afraid, then, I must decline."
"Decline ? What for ? Haven't you paint-1.
ed Moses ? You didn't have a photograph of |1
him, did you? No, I thought not. Well, !
my father hain't been dead nearly so long as j1
Moses. If you can paint Moses, you ought' J
to know enough to paint my father." '
Appreciating the situation, the artist went
to work, and evolved such a portrait as he 5
thought might satisfy so original a sou.
"Crikey !" exclaimed this art patron, on 1
seeing the completed painting. "That al- <
most knocks the stuffing out of Moses; but, 1
I say, how he has changed !"

Teaching Welsh.?It takes a Welshman 1
to talk Welsh. Few foreigners are able to <
pronounce the Welsh '11.' The author of i
"Yorkshire Folk Talk" tells an amusing i
story of an Englishman's struggle to master
that difficult sound. <
The Englishman hud been appointed to ?
the Welsh see of St. David, and upon taking | J
up bis'abode in Wales, engaged a nat!,'e|l
Welsh scholar to give him instructions ii ?he ' t
language.
The pronunciation, and especially the'11,' i
bothered the bishop, and the Welshman was <
almost at his wit's end to explain the lingual ,
process by which the formidable sound was |
to be uttered. <
At last a bright thought struck him, and
Koi'nrr nun7 nhcpnniniiQ in manner, he thus ad- .

"Your lordship must please to put your ,
episcopal tongue to the roof of your apos- ^
tolic mouth, and then hiss like a goose." ;
"M. A."?According to a New Zealand
paper, the Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, M. A.,
never fails to have these initials written af- 1
ter his name; but sometimes, in places !
where Masters of Arts are rare, the cabalis- .
tic letters fail to make their proper impression.

A deacon in an out-of-the way township
read to his congregation the written notice '
of Mr. Hughes's impending visit thus: "The

Sunday next by the Rev. Hugh Price Hugh- I

"And we have no doubt the old lady will '
give us a very telling discourse." j
Hard to Answer.?A question may look 1
simple, and yet present great difficulties.
"Am I on the road to Scraratown V" asked aj
lady who was making a tour of discovery |
from her summer home in a New England |
town.
She addressed a man who was weeding a j;
patch of ground near the road.
"You be, ma'am," he replied, surveying
her with mild curiosity.
"Well, am I half-way there?" she asked.
"Why, as to that, ma'am, it would seem
as ef it would make a diff'rence where you
started from."

THOROUGHBRED CORN.
There will be hundreds, yes thousands of
irmers who will have to buy seed corn *
lis year. And many who have raised
>rn fit for seed iught to buy also, because
is a fact well kfiown that corn grown on a *
irra from year to year, or let us enlarge
le area, say in a neighborhood or section,
ill run out, just as live stock and hens or si
oultry will run out. Occasionally a man (1
i found who cannot only originate a variety, cl
ut so manage as to improve it for several j
msecutive years. Now, although it is ,
My winter time and it is months before j"
srn will be planted, yet it is well to look
head and prepare as much as may be, for d
le time coming. All seed stores will be t<
ery busy in a few weeks; indeed, they a
re busy now sending out their catalogues
nd their traveling men to solicit orders. '
his requires money, and, of course, they '
lust charge for their seeds accordingly.
hey also must make profit or else they
mnot do business. Hut when the farmer ai
ilculates to plant 40 or 80 acres or more, tl
he buys seed, it begins to tell on his cash u
ccount. Yet, after all, there is no cheaper
led than corn, because one bushel?if the
>ws are four feet each way and three kcr- S(
els to the hill?will plant seven or eight r<
cres according to the size of the kernels? F
) that at the good price of $1.50 per bush- b
I, the seed per acre will cdst less than 25 n|
ints per acre ; surely a very low rate. I ^
m now speaking of field corn. Sugar or .'
veet corn would cost much more, and it 1S
ught to, because at best it will produce
:ss than half of what field corn yields in j fr
usbels. I a'
If the question is put: "What do you b
lean by thoroughbred corn ?" I answer a ir
ure breed. If yellow, then all yellow, if ai
bite, all white, with kernels of uniform size, tr
ith ears well filled out at both ends, in tl
ict, as clearlv distinct iu all respects as a a
niform breed of fowls. A man of experi- w
ace can tell thoroughbred corn, if he can see B
peck or more, as readily as a man can tell y
light Brahma or a Plymouth Rock chicken, d
i costs something thus to breed corn by o
ay of selection and isolation, viz : It must tl
e raised by itself without any possibility of t<
lixing in fertilization. Let us remember ti
lso that the pollen of corn will carry 40 H
)ds or more. And, by the way, if any of Ii
ur readers should buy bis seed?warranted ci
ure breed?let him not condemn the sell- b
rs if he find a bastard ear or a half bastard h
i the faH unless lie is certain that either a
om his own or other fields a mixture could tl
ot take plaoe. These facts arc easily as- \\
jrtained, when one or more kernels of
iveet corn are found on an ear of corn or c;
ice versa. ri

It is well to buy early, as we have sug- s<
ested, because the seed corn can be better il

ARTICHOKES FOR HOGS. it
Artichokes are an excellent food for cattle, J*
leep and horses, says a writer in Exchange. ?
ed to milch cows, they are for the produc- ^
on of milk, equal if not superior to bran. T
ut their greatest value is for food for hogs, E1
) they save the work of harvesting?even l'
le labor of feeding is avoided, as the hogs S1
ill help themselves and root up and lay
ire more than they eat, so you may turn ^
i colts, calves or sheep, which will greedily ^
it what is on the surface. I consider them 11
le cheapest and healthiest hog feed I can r(
lise, and find that where brood sows have "
ee access to artichokes they and their pigs 111
ivarably do well. They do not eat their "
igs and do not seem to be "possessed of an ^
t il spirit," as hogs do that are fed on corn
le year round, and I have yet to learn of a ir
iseased herd where artichokes are used d
eely in fall and spring. Artichokes have u
sen used in some localities as hog food many rxv
ears; in some parts of Illinois 10 or 12 T
ears, and are growing in fuvor. I think, w
ith many others, it is best to let the hog u
>ot and give him something to root for ;
lat ringing or cutting the nose locks hira
at of nature's apothecary shop, endangers ft!
is health and is a plain breach of nature's ni
lws. Like a parsnip, freezing solid and
rnwing many times does not spoil them ; so
is not necessary to dig them for spring use. 'c
urn the hogs on two weeks after the bios>ms
fall?in this latitude, October 1. Let 11
le hogs use them anytime the ground is not w
ozen until thev beirin to come un and grow ^
;ain. Then your hogs have had rooting a
tough, and will injure your pastures little or
one. There is no better food to build up o!
irge, healthy frames with plenty of hone Is1
ltd muscle. They will not only grow, but! a
itten on them. I"1
Keeping Celery.?By proper managetent,
it is said, celery may be kept during !
le entire winter season, and its fresh, crisp l
[tpearance in midwinter has a stimulating j S
ifect upon the appetite. Dillerent methods!
f preserving cetery during the winter are |p
ssorted to. Some ]?eoi?lc bury it entirely in j
ind, while others simply stand the bunches,, j
a end, packing them closely together. >?
either of these methods are proper, as the !
jots should be kept moist, while the tops j.
lould be free from earth and dry. A better j 1
ay is to take a box and place in the bottom ;
fit a shallow layer of sand or earth. Just j
bove this layer of earth, and in the side c?f;
le box, bore a number of holes. Set theij
inches of celery with their roots well bed- > J
sd in the soil, which can be kept moist by
ijecting water through the holes in the side
'the box. Celery can thus be kept in per-11
ct condition, throughout the winter, and no i ^
house need be without a supply of it j'

ead cut out. The surgeons advised him
:mt the operation would be exceedingly
angerous; but he insisted, and they underjok
the work. Grouard refused to take
ny kind of anaesthetic ; but, on the contrav,
quietly smoked a eigar during the whole
peration. The surgeons were very timid in
le use of their instruments on account of
ic close proximity of a most important
rtery, and had to remove the Hint with
leir lingers. Grouard was-finally rendered
nconscious by the terrible pain; but at no
rac during the operation did he utter a
lund of complaint. He has now entirely
icovercd from the effects of the operation,
or some time past, the newspaper reporters
ave been trying to get a story from him,
nd a reporter for The Globe-Democrat has
een successful. He gave it in a recent
sue of that paper as follows:
The scout has never been willing to talk
eely of his own life among the Indiaus, and
II that has becu learned of that period has
een drawn from him by close questioning
1 unguarded moments. Of his adventures
3 a scout with General Cook's command he
ilks more freely. Since his recovery from
le surgical operation, Grouard has talked
lore willingly than ever before of his life
ith the Sioux. He was captured by Sitting
lull and a small band of followers when 19
ears old, and remained with the- Indiaus
uring the next six years, a greater portion
f the time in the camp of Sitting Bull,
trough whose influence he was saved from
>rturc and death. At the time of his capire
Grouard was a mail rider between Fort
rail and Fort Peck. On the way to the
ndian villinec he learned the nnme of his
jptor and made up his mind that nothing
ut torture was in store for him. Great was
is suprise when the chief announced in
ouncil that fcc had determined to spare
ic captive's life, and, greater still, when he
as adopted as Sitting Bull's brother.
"No human being who has never been a
aptive among savages can realize the horars
that constantly surrounded me," said
Irouard. "I was sent to the lodge of Sitng
Bull's mother and sister, and to these
ivo savage women I also owe my life. I had
ever before attempted to live on a meat
leat diet alone, anil I found that was the
nly food the Indians had, without salt or
jasoning. I was stricken with a strange
lness, and do not know how long I. was
1. Nothing would supply my craving for
read, and in my troubled dreams I saw
>aves of it just out of reach of my out:retched
arms. White Crow divined the
ause of my sickness, and, in the spring,
hen the Indians from the agencies came
ut to the hostile tribes, she bought small
unntities of Hour, cofTee, salt and pepper,
>r which she paid an enormous price in
onies and furs. When I awoke one day
lere was a smell of burning bread and boilig
coffee in the tepee, and for a moment
could not realize that I was still a captive,
fhen the flour was all gone, White Crow
ould gather turnips, dry them and pound
lem into a pulp, from which she would
lake porridge. In time I learned to live
n a meat diet alone.
sixteen months under guard.
"I was closely guarded for sixteen mouths
fter my capture, my guards being Little
ssiniboine and White Kagle, the latter a
Dusin of Sitting Bull. It was customary
i the snriiur of the year to move the camp
)\vard the North, to meet the vast herds of
[lflalo coming down, and in the fall the
idians generally located on the Belle
ourche, or I(ittle Missouri river, where
ame was plentiful. It was on the first hunt
int I killed a deer In a running shot at a
reat distance with an old flint-lock gun
iat had been given me. The feat so pleased
itting Bull that he presented me with a
[awkins rifle, and from that time no restricons
were placed on my movements. I
aamed the wilds at will and acquired a
lorough and intimate knowledge of every
lountain pass, crag, ravine and canyon in
le great stretch of country now known as
Wyoming, Dakota and Montana.
"My name among the Indians was Standig
Bear. It was given to me because I was
ressed in a fur overcoat, cap aud mittens
hen captured. In the winter of 1870 I
ent out with a war party for the first time,
lie Sioux and the Crows were always at
ar. About the time we left the Sioux village
e struck the trail of a war party of Crows,
oing toward the Sioux camp, with the evlent
intention of running off ns many ponies
5 they could. We returned to camp and
let the Crows, driving them into the bad
mds, where they sought shelter in a basin
chind a wall of rocks. The attack was
al by Sitting Bull himself, and the rush
)ward the spot where the Crows were inenched
meant death to many of the Sioux
arriors. The chief went in advance of his
raves, jumped over the rocks into the pit
ml had killed a number of Crows before
ic others arrived to assist him. In point
r numbers the war parties were about the
imc; but all the Crows were killed and only
few of the Sioux. The bodies of the enclies
were scalped and left where they were
ain. There must have been a hundred
ead Indians in that gulch, and it was one
I* the bloodiest scenes I ever witnessed.
"One of the biggest Indians clean-ups I
cer knew anything about occurred a short
me before that, on Beaver Creek, about
i id way between Fort Hall and Milk river,
our hundred tiros Ventre Indians were
imped there, some of them confined to
icir lodges with the smallpox. The Blacket
made a raid on the village, and only
vo of the tiros Ventres escaped alive. We
card of the massacre, and a party of us
ent over there from the Sioux camp. A
lonth later 1 passed by the place with a
anting party. The half-decomposed bodies
f the. victims were scattered about in every
irection, and were being eaten by wolves
nd other wild animals. None of them were
irer buried. I saw a great many bar bams
things while I lived with the Indians,

TOUTt'UEl) BY THE SIOUX.
"From the time of my capture up to 1872
was not- required to undergo any of the
If-inllieted tortures of the Sioux, hut after
became one of them, to all intents and
iirposes, I knew what to expect. While we
ere camped where tilendivc, Mont., now
anils, the whole trihe gathered one day
bout the sweat, and I was informed that I
as to he put to the test. All the Indians
iithered around, taking positions where they
mid watch my face. Sitting Hull, Xo
icck, (Sail, Four Horns, Little Assiniboine
ad other headmen of the tribe sat near me
noking their pipes. Four warriors squat>d
on each side of me, and with' needles
lised up the flesh between the shoulder and
Ibow on each arm, and cut out pieces the
ze of a pea, taking ISO pieces out of each
rm. The skin and llesli were taken oil' in
ve rows on each arm. It was not painful
t first, hut before they were through there
as a stream of agony pouring from my
nns to my heart that was almost ttnhearble.
I did not open my lips or make a

ie operation lasteil four hours. The next
uie I was tortured, all my eyebrows and
yelashes were pulled out. After that I
eat through the tortures iis stoically as the
udians themselves, even including the torires
of the sun danee, where horsehair ropes
ere tied in the muscles of the breast and
aek and torn out by sheer force.
"Sitting Hull would never make a treaty
-itli the whites. For the purpose of securlg
supplies be made a treaty with the Red
iver half breeds to bring him such articles as
is tribe needed, and when the half-breeds
nine they brought live sleigh loads of wliisy.
There was nothing but drinking in the
illage as long as the whisky lasted, and it
tided in a terrible light, from which the
aif-breeds were glad to escape with their
ves. The faction opposing Sitting Hull
ried to kill him. There were 5,000 Indians
i the village at that time, ami many were
illcd. Many lodges were torn down or
urued.
"The next spring a Yankton Indian, from
| the agency at Fort Peck, came into our
I camp. I sent a letter by him to the agent,
telling him what the Bed river half-breeds
i had done. The ngent sent the Yankton back
in a few months asking me to come in, as he
wished to see me. He also wanted ine to
bring Sitting Bull in so they could make a
treaty with him, and get the hostile trade.
In a short time Sitting Bull, Little Assiniboine,
Black Shield and myself went to Fort
Peck, where a big council was held; but
Rllllllg jjuii iiiuiy rciuscu 10 nuve uiiywimg
to do with the whiles. While we were there
the agent told me he wanted me to go with
a party to capture the half breeds who had
been selling the whisky.
TIIK ESCAPE.
"To get away front Sitting Bull without
him finding out where I was going, I had to
tell him I was going on the warpath to steal
horses. I told him I was going up the Missouri.
I went, instead, with some troops to a
place on Frenchman's creek, where the halfbreeds
were camped, and picked out the
ones who had taken the whisky to the Indians.
The soldiers arrested a lot of them.
They gave me three horses so I could make
Sitting Bull believe I had stolen them. I
gave the horses to Sitting Bull, and, as lie
was very much pleased to think I would go
out alone and steal horses, lie told every Indian
he saw about it. There were some
Santee Indians in the cnmp of the half-breeds
and they recognized me. In about 10 days
they came into our camp and told Sitting
Bull all about it. He was the maddest man
I ever saw, and snid he would kill me on
sight. His mother kept him from killing me.
Gall and the other members of the faction
who were opposed to Sitting Bull wanted me
to come over on that side of the village; but
I would not go. Sitting Bull never spoke to
me again after that, and when the camp
moved I got on one side, and he went on the
other, so we kept apart. Soon after that I
went over to the Ogallala camp, with Crazy
I Horse, and never went back to Sitting Bull's
j camp again.
I "After I went to the camp of Crazy Horse
I was still with the liostiles, who never went
to the agencies. The age.ncy Indians would
come to us, and it was from them that we
secured our ammunition. One spring we
were entirely out of ammunition and our
provisions were very low. The Indian village
was then on the head of the Rosebud
river. We were expecting a party of agency
Indians with supplies, and it was decided
to send a party out to look for them. We
saw what we took to he smoke signals near
the mouth of Tongue river, distant about
four days' travel. Myself and two Indians
started out to bring the agency Indians in.
We left the village with one day's rations
and no ammunition.
"When we arrived at the mouth of the
Tongue river we found where a fire had
been ; but there was no sign of the agency
Indians, so there was nothing to do but to
go back. On the way back to the village,
all three of us became nearly insane from
hunger, having been eight days without a
particle of food. We were within 20 miles
of the camp when we managed to kill three
prairie chicken with a bow and arrows. My
companions tore the fowls apart and ate
them raw. I roasted the necks and ate.
sparingly of them. We were ten days in
making the trip, and when we reached the
village were nothing but skin and bones.
The flesh on our faces was so drawn that
we were nlmost unrecognizable. My two
companions died in a few days.
"The next year I went into the agency
with a party of Indians; but had no opportunity
of making my escape. We only
stopped a short time, and then went down
on Tongue river. All the time I was studying
about a plan to escape. The next spring
I went out with a party going to Laramie
river. It was a war party, and the night
they started to make a ruid on the ranches,
I started for the agency. I never went back
to the Indiuns again."

portionate length, and a headboard 0 feet (1 *
inches in height. The material of the suite is
, oak, quarter sawed, and finished in the best
, style. As an indication of its substantial ebiy^s.
[ actor, it maybe mentioned that the weight of ^
[ the suite is about live hundred pounds. This
I splendid suite is to bo furnished by Messrs. S. T.
I-FREVV ?& CO., of Rock Hill, and they have
J assured us that they will not sell a similar suite
j j to any person for a less sum than $75.

) and independent of all other premiums, and
I the person who secures it, will lie entitled to
\ I have his names counted in competition for
j either of the other premiums offered. For
example: If the person who secures the bed'
room suite of furniture shall have returned
J and paid for the largest list of names (including
, old and new subscribers) up to 4 o'clock p.
j m? on the 14th day March, 1885, such person
will be entitled to tho$s5 buggy; if the second
larj^st list, including those which secured the
' | bedroom suit, will be entitled to the 875 watch ;
) it the third largest; the Corbin disk harrow.

I failed to secure either the buggy, gold watch
or harrow, ottered for clubs of old and.new

r additional premium of even greater value. I
