tumorous department. RIVERS OF BUTTERMILK. There is more than one way of turning the tables on a person who indulges in the practice of "drawing a loug bow." One of the most effectual methods was recently employed by a slow spoken Vermonter on an "accommodation" train. Several persons were listening in opeu-mouthed, wide-eyed astonishment to the talk of a loquacious young man, whose stories increased in size and general incredibility as time went on. He was a resident of a town adjoining that in which the elderly Vermonter had spent all his days; but the old man watched the narrator in silence, though with none of the interest displayed by the other listeners. At last the young man mentioned one of the citizens of his native town, and remarked incidentally that the man had an immense dairy, from which he sent over 1,000,000 pounds of butter and an equal quantity of cheese, every year. At this, several of his hearers looked decidedly incredulous, and one of them, turning to the elderly man, said: "You come from round his way, I believe ; did you ever hear tell of that dairy ?" "Wal, no," drawled the person addressed, with a perfectly grave face; "I don't recall havin' heerd of it till now, but I've heerd that there's a man over in that town that has 10sawmills, that are worked an' kep' a-goin by buttermilk, an' I persume to say it's the same man, an' if one story's true, like as not the other may be." Beyond His Means.?The Chicago Herald tells an amusing bit of experience which one of that city's benevolent men had with a begger. The gentleman has a regular staff of "visitors," to whom he gives alms according to their needs and his ability. There is one old fellow whose calls are as punctual as the sun. On a recent occasion this man acv costed Mr. G. as usual, and received from him a half dollar. The beggar took it, thanked the donor, and turned toward the door. Before reaching it, however, he seemed to be considering a matter very seriously. He hesitated, stopped, and then turned to Mr. G. again, saying, "Excuse me, sir, I would like to ask you a question." "Well, what is it?" said Mr. G. "It is this. Every month for years past you have given me a dollar, but today I come, and you give me only 50 cents. How is that ?" "Well, I'll tell you," said Mr. G., smilinggood humoredly. "I have had some unusually heavy expenses this month. My eldest daughter got married, and the outlay for her trousseau, etc., has compelled me to retrench in every direction." "Ah, yes, I see," said the beggar. "Hut, J>lr. G., 1 really can't anora to contribute towards your daughter's wedding expenses." Better Keep It.?She was shabbily dressed, and rather diffident as she entered the office and approached the desk of the business manager. "I am very poor," she said, appealingly, "and I'm trying to do a little something to earn my own living." Then she laid a little satchel on the desk, and looked as if seeking permission to open it. "What have you ?" he asked. "Soap," she replied. "Don't need it," he said. "The building supplies soap and towels to all the offices here." "Couldn't you buy a little to help me along?" she pleaded. "Oh, I suppose so; but I hardly know what to do with it down here." "I will be ever so grateful, sir," she persisted. "I am a poor woman, and have five small children to look after." "Five children!" he exclaimed. "Great Scott!" "Yes, sir, five little children," she replied ; and the oldest is but 7 years old." * "And you peddling soap?" be cried. "Yes, sir, why not ?" "Great Josephus! You must need all the soap you can get at home if your five children are auything like my two." A Clam as a Deadly Weapon.? In North Carolina the judges of the superior court "rotate," i. e., ride 1- .r ...u~i~ : . eacu circuu ui uie w nuic otaic iu regular succession. When Judge Shipp, of one of the mountain circuits, in regular rotation came to ride a circuit on the sea coast, he was much pleased with clams, which were new to him. He had a clam supper, with the result that he had a most violent illness, and could not hold court for two or three days. When able to sit on the bench, the first case tried wus an affray in which one man used a pistol and other knocked him down with a clam (in the shell.) Manly, appearing for the State, introduced a witness to prove that one clam, so used, was a deadly weapon. "Stop there, Manly," said the judge, earnestly; "the court will hear evidence whether or not a pistol is a deadly weapon, but the court knows without further evidence that a clam is." t&F Omaha Sinner?How do you like your new minister. Omaha Saint?Don't like him at all. He is not cut out for a preacher; he ought to have been a business man. "That a fault, is it ?" "Yes, sir ; he has entirely too much business ability. Last Sunday he preached a roaring sermon ou hypocrites, and at the close invited all the hypocrites in the congregation to stand up. Of course no one arose." "I suppose not; but what of that?" "Why then he followed his advantage by passing the contribution box." Wapitic Gatherings. fiaT In 1840 gold pens were first made at New York. 8?* Elias Howe patented the first sewing machine in 1846.

It will not be necessary for deaf mutes to take this precaution. <Tht ^tory iTcllcv. JUST IN TIMET BY F. MARION LEE. It was a mild, hazy September evening. No stars were to be seen ; but the moou was up and gave the mist the appearance of a vast, silvery cloud. At the station in Kingston, never a very busy place, all was quiet. No. 5, a through train, had been delayed and we were waiting for it to pass. I had just finished reading the last letter that I had received from my mother, when my ear caught the clicking of the telegraph. Mechanically, I listened and found that the conductor was sending word to us from a station up the road. I went to the operator and soon had the dispatch. "Train delayed. Baggage-master sick. Must have a man when we reach Kingston." This run on No. 5 was a very important one, and needed a practiced man. I reflected a few moments, and then reached a decision. There was nothiug to do but go myself, and, bavmg made me necessary arrangements, I stepped out on the platform to await the traiu. I do not believe in presentiments; but for some unaccountabe reason I felt very much depressed in spirits. I endeavored to shake off the weight that seemed to oppress my mind by humming a popular song; but all in vain. I had not long to wait, for the locomotive was whistling at the long curve as I walked down the platform. Then came the glare of the headlight and the train was there. In a moment more I was helping the baggage-master alight. He was very pale, and as weak as a little child. As we stood together he said in a low, tremulous voice: "I want to ask a favor of you." I nodded. "You know the long cut before W. Junction ?" "Certainly," I replied. "Well, my old grandmotner lives on the hill just beyond the cut. She brought me up, and now she's old and childish, and I have to humor her. When I go by I wave my lantern three times to show her that I am all right. Will you do that for me tonight? I shall be very grateful." As he finished speaking he leaned against the railing and gasped for breath. I thought how kind it was of him to keep the old lady from fretting, and promised to do as he wished. In a moment more the signal to start was passed from brakeman to breakman. As the conductor raised his lantern he called to me : "We don't stop at W. Junction tonight." The engine took a few deep breaths, the wheels began to revolve, and the train slowly left the station. As we gained speed I happened to glance back. To my amazement I thought I saw the man who just before had been in charge of the car try to signal oie, then cover his face with his hands. I rubbed my eyes and looked again ; but the mist was so dense that I could no longer see him. I concluded that I must have been mistaken and laughed at myself for being so fanciful. The car was a long one with pienty of room. There were a large number of truuks, and I started to check them off by the list. The one lantern that I had gave a very dim light, so most of the car was in shadow. Being so busy with the trunks made time fly, and it seemed only a short time before we made the first stop. As I slid back the door to see if there was any baggage, I noticed how wet everythiug was. There was nothing to be taken ou. As I was about to close the door, after the train had started, I noticed that the brakeman had jumped on the forward platform of my car. The doors closed with a snap lock, so though easy to open from within, it was impossible to open the door from the platform. I hastened to let him in. As he passed through, he said : "No tramps on the front platform tonight." "So I see," I replied. I then heard the other door close after him and knew that I was again alone. We made but one more stop before reaching W. Junction, so I would have little to do save the signal I had promised. Sittiug on my chair and looking about the car, I fell to wondering if the iron bar which went through the center of the car above my head, would really be of much use in case of an accident to protect one from the flying trunks. It was placed there to cling to in case of a smash-up. From that my eyes wandered to the trunks, and to one especially, which seemed to impress me with a sense of responsibility. It was small ; but nevertheless when I looked that way my eyes would fall on that particular trunk. Out of pure curiosity I went over and examined it closely. It was heavy, and iu charge of an express company, as I could see hv t.he label. .? While I was looking at it I felt the train slowiug up, and knew it was the next stopping place. I did not think there would be any baggage ; but I went to the door, of course. We hardly stopped at all, and I knew by the speed we immediately began to develop that the engineer was making up lost time. I turned to go back to my chair when, to my astonishment, I saw the front door of my car slowly close. It could not have been opened from the outside, and for a moment or two I felt nervous, as I realized that there might have been someone in the car with ine. I did not believe that I bud left the door unlatched. Our speed increased, and suddenly we dashed into a long cut. I thought of my promise and seized my lautern, ready to give the signal. With the lanteru in my right hand, and gripping the iron bar over the door with my left, I waited till we should leave the cut. As we swung out into the valley, I lifted my lantern and waved it three times. Imagine my surprise when my signal was answered. Far up on the mountain came the bright flash of a lantern, also waved three times. As I saw it, I knew that something was wrong. Why should the baggagemaster's aged grandmother answer by any such signal as that? Clearly she would uot be out at 10 o'clock in the evening, waving a lanteru. What mystery was connected with the affair ? . Instinctively, I reached for the bell cord ; but when I seized it, it came down upon my head. I ran hastily to the other end of it. As I expected, it had been cut, severed as smooth as a knife could do it. Then I began to understand that a horrible scheme was afloat. The circumstances that had in fViq loef few Vimirc KonomP very plain to me now. The sickness of the baggage-master, his peculiar actions, the open door, the cut bell rope, were all explained. And the conductor had said that we would not stop at W. Junction. I knew as plainly as if it had been told me, that beyond that junction danger awaited us. The baggagemaster would have left the train there, bad it stopped as usual, after giving the signal that I had just given, As the train had been ordered not to stop tonight, he had feigned sickness, and I had been cleverly trapped into the scheme, and had probably given the signal for the train's destruction. These thoughts passed through my mind in a moment; but even a moment meant added danger. I was certain that we were rushing to a horrible death. We had passed the junction, and something must be done. We were going at great speed ; the swaying of the cars was frightful. I managed to climb from the car platform onto the tender. Once I came very near being swept off. As I crept cautiously along, my hand came in contact with a cord. It was the other end of the bell cord, and I pulled it with all my might. Soon I felt the speed slacken. We bad almost stopped when there came a terrible explosion. I was hurled into the bushes, where I lay stunned for several moraeuts. As soon as I came to myself, I thought of the baggage car and ran back to it. Climbing aboard, I found a brakeman standing there, with drawn revolver.' He assured me that everything was safe, and I left him in charge and went forward. The train men were grouped around the locomotive, examining a hole made by a dynamite cartridge. A little further down the track we found two cartridges. Had we been going fast, nothing could have saved the train from being hurled down the embankment, a total wreck. As it was, no one was seriously injured and and the cars were all right. We saw no one. The wreckers who would have preyed upon our mangled bodies did not dare show their faces, even though they had only a few armed men to deal with. Their courage would not allow them to hold up a train. My story was soou told, and in a short time the telegraph was being used. It was not long before we had a relief engine. The baggage-master whom I relived made no attempt to escape, and confessed all, sobbing like a child. We finally captured the others, and they received theirjust deserts. All except frVio KonrnrQcro-maator tuprp nIH nffpndPTS kUV "w.w w? It seemed that the heavy trunk I had examined contained money. The idea was for the baggage-master to signal someone on the hill, if the trunk was aboard all right, and he was to signal the man down the valley, so he could place the cartridges. It was a cleverly-laid plot, and was frustrated just in time. It was several days before my nerves recovered from the shock. Then, out of curiosity, I went up on the hill where I had seen the signal. Ther.e was nothing to attract attention but au old, uninhabited log hut, from which a fine view of the surrounding j country could be had. As I walked around the hut, I saw a broken lantern, [ lying under a bush by the side of a rock. Without doubt it was the lantern that the wreckers had used. I brought it awap as a memento, and have it now in as good condition as when I fouud it. 8ST Clergyman (examining a Sunday School class)?Now, can any one of you tell me what are the sins of omission ?

THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT A BUSINESS can have is pleased customers, and we congratulate ourselves on having our share of these. Several days ago a lady, living in Yorkville, who is recognized as one of the best housekeepers in the town and one who knows exactly what she wants and will have nothing else, said to one of the Cousins that the goods she bought of us gave her hotter satisfaction than arty she had ever been able to buy in Yorkville, "and" said she, "I tind that your average prices are less than anybody else. Now, tnind, I don't say you are cheaper on everything ; but do say that when I buy a month's supply of groceries from you, the bill is less than I pay others. You can count on my patronage." WE APPRECIATE The above unsolicited endorsement, and shall strive to merit the lady's continued good opinion. WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED The following staple groceries. They are FRESH : Pure Leaf Lard, Hams, a barrel of Imported Rice, a barrel of medium tine Pearl Grits, a barrel of best quality New Orleans Molasses, a case of E. L. C. Coffee. We know that every other dealer in town keeps the above goods, except E. L. C. Coffee; but are they fresh, and if they are not, do you want them ? Something to be Desired.

We are building nothing but the very best, which we fully warrant as per guarantee in printed catalogue. There is no factory in the South that can begin to build a buggy as cheap as we do. In the first place, we don't make anything but a huggy and a lady's phaeton. By this concentration we are enabled to give our undivided attention to these two styles, and thus make them better and cheaper, than any one who makes a full line can possible do it. We have every facility for manufacturing our goods at the lowest possible cost. No factory in the South can begin to touch us on this point. This is the reason that wo are able to sell you a first-class buggy at a reasonable figure. We shall continue to improve our work from time to time, and will lead every competitor. It is perfectly natural for would-be-competitors "to fall in line" after we have gone ahead and set the example; but it is simply iinpoasible for them to build a buggy and sell it at the price we do, and live. Mr. Grist has samples of our work in stock, and he will be pleased to show it to you. ROCK HILL BUGGY CO. J. W. DOBSONL GOODS TO ARRIVE IN A FEW DAYS AT JW.rDOBSON'S Cheap Store.
