tumorous Jrpartmrnt. The Man and the Venerable. The man who was having a little New Year celebration of his own. which promised to be a fairly red one, chanced to meet a venerable person who carried a scythe upon his shoulder. "Ah, there, Reuben!" the man remarked, "How is the alfalfa?" But before the venerable man had time to answer a funeral cortege passed down the street. "Who Is the party In the rest-wagon?" the man Inquired. "That Is the body of the Old Year," the venerable person replied. "It Is being borne to?what are you doing?" For the venerable person had noticed that the man was acting in a peculiar manner. "Picking up a stone." "For what?" "To shy at the wagon. I want to show what I think of the Old Year." "Did it treat you badly?" "Badly! I should say it did?never kept its word once." "Did you help it to do so?" "Well. I?I?that is?I attended to business?fairly well?and?say. what festal procession is that behind the other?" "For the man thought it would be well to change the subject. "That is the procession of the New Year." " 'Tis, hey! 'Ray! 'Ray for the New Year! Whoop 'er up! He's a peach! 'Ray!" "Why do you think so much of the New Year?" "Whey, he has promised me all sorts of good things." "Say." the venerable person with the scythe remarked. "I will tell you one thing right now: He will keep none of his promises so long as you?you? that Is?attend to business?fairly well?and"? "Who in thunder are you?" the man interposed. "I am generally known as Old Father Time." The man listened in wonder and amaze. Then ho shook his head and said: "I suppose, then, it must be one of your children I am out a/ter." "What do you mean?" "Why, I am out after a little Time." So Old Father Time passed on. for what is the use of giving counsel to a fellow of that kind? Pearls cast before swine are wasted?unless some other fellow picks them up.?San Francisco Call. Why the Stove Was Elevated.? During the college days of ex-Mayor Bessom of Lynn, he had two of the professors of the college as guests at a hunting camp in the Maine woods. When they entered the camp their attention was attracted to the unusual position of the stove which was set on posts about four feet high. One of the professors began to comment upon the knowledge woodsmen gain by observation. "Now," said he, "this man has discovered that the heat radiating from the stove strikes the roof and the circulation is so quickened that the camp is warmed In much less time than would be required If the stove was in Its regular place on the floor." The other professor was of the opinion that the stove was elevated to be above the window, in order that cool and pure air could be had at night. Mr. Bessom, being more practical, contended that the stove was elevated In order that a good supply of green wood ccula be placed beneath it to dry. After considerable argument each man placed a dollar bill upon the table, and It was agreed that the one whose opinion was nearest the guide's reason for elevating the stove should take the pool. The guide was called and asked why the- stove was placed in such an unusual position. "Well," said he, "when I brought the stove up the river I lost most of the stovepipe overboard, and had to get the stove up there so as to have the pipe reach through the roof." He got the money.?Boston Herald. Their Little Jokes.?The other day a counsel, engaged in a case in which property of various descrlntlons was involved, made a lone and rambling speech referring to each in turn. His monotonous delivery had sent nearly everyone to sleep, when he suddenly startled them all by abruptly changing his voice as he exclaimed to the judge: "My lord, I will now address myself to the furniture." "You have been doing that for some time. I think, Mr. Wells." remarked the judge, sweetly. amid universal tittering. Now, there was another judge who heard this anecdote, and thought of storing it up for some future occasion. At the court, soon afterward, his opportunity seemed to have arrived. He was trying "a case in which the circumstances were somewhat similar, but the property involved was livestock. In due course one of the counsel said: "My lord, I will now address myself to the donkey." "You have been doing that for some time." was the prompt response. whereupon a regular roar of laughter followed, which highly gratified the judge until its reason dawned upon him.?Tit Bits. An Anti-Expansionist.?A Virginia mountaineer who had strayed to Richmond on an excursion, and who, as his holiday progressed became rather hilarious, grew over-confident of his own greatness. "Gentlemen." he said, "I kin lick any man in Richmond." Xo one offered to dispute the assertion. and he tried again. "Gentlemen," he said, "I kin lick any man in the whole state of Virginny." The words were hardly out of his mouth before a tall, sinewy man from his own part of the state entered the game and gave the boaster a good thrashing. The mountaineer had a sense of humor. He slowly picked himself up and faced the group to which he had boasted. "Gentlemen." he said. "I am now ready to acknowledge that I kivered too much territory in that last statement."?Baltimore Sun.

Evarts, then attorney-general, Lord < hief Justice Coleridge, of Engla id, expressed doubt as to the correctness of this story, on account of the great width of the river, and Mr. Evarts then made his famous witticism: "Fhit you must remember, my lord, that a dollar went further in those days." tii' He that is ungrateful has no fault but one.

INSTALLMENT V. |v The Lords Proprietors. 81 n Precisely two hundred and Ave years ago, South Carolina was first t] permanently settled by Europeans. ^ For ages?how long no one can tell ?it had been in the possession of a people whose origin is as mysteri- jj ous as their end was tragical. Carolina then, was one unbroken forest w from the mountains to the seaboard. v The grandeur of the scene ravished p the sight of the colonists. The air d was loaded with the odors of un- ^ cultivated flowers, and from every jr tree proceeded charming notes made w by birds of the richest plumage. It was in reality a New World to the p newly arrived immigrants. They e had never seen anything like It be- ^ fore, and the accounts which they h had heard concerning it, and which t] they had regarded as extravagant, . fell far short of the reality. The f, forest was full of wild animals of different kinds, many of which have long since disappeared from the state. So numerous were the deer, that an y eye-witness said "the whole country seems but one continuous park. t( Hunters often killed, in a single year, . two hundred. Bears were in great p numbers and the wolves made night hideous with their howlings. These ^ are nearly all gone. They fled on tj the approach of civilization, and the forest in which they found a home, melted before the axe of the Euro- t pean. When Imagination paints the territory now ocupied by the state j of South Carolina, as it was two ^ hundred years ago, and we take a survey of it as it now is, a feeling of sadness creeps over the soul. ^ We almost wish we could turn the wheels of time back two hundred years that our senses might be ravished with the primitive grandeur of ^ nature. This we cannot do. The e best that can be done at present, is ^ to gather up the fragments of the history of these early times and string them together as pearls. It was the intention of the pro- ^ prietors to settle a colony at Port ^ Royal. They had attempted to plant colonies at Cape Fear and g Albemarle, In the present state of t North Carolina; and not being as successful, at these points, as they desired, they were anxious to make ^ an attempt in a more southern portion of the territory granted them by Charles the Second. To accom- ^ pllsh this desire, the proprietors j( made ample arrangements. Three vessels, and supplies for eighteen months, were provided. William Jc Sayle was appointed governor; Jo- ^ seph West, commander-in-chief of c the fleet; Henry Bairne, commander of one of the vessels; and John Rlv- , - ? * ers was piacea in uimrge ui uic nm- ^ itary stores. Sayle's commission bears date of July 26, 1669. In Jan- Sl uary, 1670, the colonists set out for y their point of destination, and on the 1 17th of March, they effected a land- v ing. Here they remained for only a d short time and went to a hlph point on the west bank of the Ashley river. This they called Albemarle Point. To Sayle was given, not only *' a commission but also instructions. 8 The intention of the proprietors 81 juts out prominently in the instruc- '' tlons given to Governor Sayle and d the other officers. For this reason s they should be generally known. c The proprietors were aware that it ^ would be Impossible to put the n "Fundamental Constitutions" which ^ they called the "grand model," into execution on the first arrival of immigrants. Hence, provision was made for a temporary deviation from its requirements. It was, however, en- ^ joined upon Sayle that he "come" as 11 nigh the grand model as practicable. ^ Sayle was instructed to call the free p people of the colony together, so a soon as he arrived, and hold an elec- a tion for five individuals who together ^ with the five deputies appointed by 15 the proprietors and the governor d would constitute the council. s< Whether Sayle did this at Port p Royal, or whether he waited until _i c aner me arrival ai Asmey river, ur whether he did it at all, does not u appear from any record. We may l' reasonably suppose that he carried out his instructions and that the r election was held at Port Royal, and that it was in accordance with the c advice of this council that the settlement was made at Ashley river, ? rather than at Port Royal. The five ^ members elected by the people were ^ required to swear allegiance to the King of England, and subscribe fl- a delity and submission to the proprie- 0 tors and the form of the government v by them established. "It was, how- a ever, granted to any one who had ^ conscientious scruples about swear- c ing according to the prescribed a form, "to subscribe to the same in a r book provided for the purpose, and 0 this subscribing shall be deemed the same with swearing." It was en- a joined upon the governor and the 11 council to select a proper location n for a fort, and place upon It, when a erected, guns which would command ^ all the streets of the town. This P goes to indicate that no settlermnt t( u was. In fact, commenced at Pcrtl" Royal. From all the circumstances with which these immigrants were rl surounded, we may conclude that * among the tirst things they would C( undertake, would be ttie building of T a fort. This they did the moment g they arrived at Ashley river, and it ^ was well that they did. ei The instructions given to Joseph 'l West, the commander-in-chief of the ^ fleet, are more in detail, and even more interesting than those given to w Governor Sayle. In fact, the du- ? ties of Admiral West resembled those ^ of an overseer of a large plantation. West was ordered to sail with ail v Dossible sneed. with the fleet under d his command, for Kinsaile, Ireland. ^ The object of sending him to Ireland was to get twenty or twenty-five ser- ? vants. Having accomplished the ob- 81 ject of his visit to Ireland, or having ^ discovered that the servants could not be procured, he was to sail di- ? rectly for Barbadoes. No free man, tl who had no servants on board, was ti to be allowed to leave the vessel, a If a free man died or left the ship at e< any point, his servants became the tr property of the proprietors. d The object of sending Admiral nr JTH CAROLINA." iient to the Close of lution. LATIIAN, I>. D. /est to the Barbadoes was to secure eed of various kinds for the coloists. This shows the wisdom of the ruprieiuia emu aiou me icai inicicai , hey took in the colony. Seed grown i i the Barbadoes, they no doubt | hought, would be more likely to ( ourish In Carolina than that grown \ i England. Everything was to be ( aid for by the proprietors. This 'as the case with respect to the ser- j ants which West was ordered to j rocure from Ireland. From Barba- < oes, West was ordered to furnish , imself with a supply of cotton seed, idigo seed and ginger roots, together rlth wines of various kinds, canes nd olives. The roots were to be laced In tubs, partly filled with arth, so that they would not perish I efore arriving at Port Royal. When e arrived at Port Royal, he was hen to plant these roots and seeds ( i what we may call an experimental ; irm or nursery. On this farm the otton seed, Indigo seed, ginger roots j nd cane roots were to be planted, nd all the seed produced the first i ear to be saved for planting the ext year. On this farm which seems d have been under the absolute con- ' rol of Joseph West, he was ordered to i rect for himself and thirty servants, i ood warm houses. So soon a? the ouses were built, West was to put I k*v BAmronta r\ nlAnrlno1 nn t fnt?ncf I lie oci van vo iw vivut hiq up iiiv * w? uovi d that It would be ready for cultiatlon the next spring, when It was i hought the roots of the previous ear would be ready for transplantlg. Ginger was to be the main crop, lore attention was to be paid to it han anything else. Whether Admiral West went to < [insaile, Ireland, or not, does not ppear. It Is certain that he arrlvd at Barbadoes in February, 1670, nd in all probability brought with im the first cotton seed that was ver brought Into the state of South arolina. No doubt it was planted, nd we may conclude that South Car- < Una commenced her existence with I tie cultivation of cotton on the west ank of Ashley river. Cotton was 1 aund growing in Mexico, Peru, ( exas, Louisiana when these re- I ibns were discovered, and Sir Wal- 1 ir Raleigh found cotton cultivated l Virginia and North Carolina. It ' i thought that the cotton found in 1 lexlco, Peru, Texas end Louisiana ' :as what is now called the short 1 taple; but what West brought with 1 im was the long staple or the Sea3land cotton. The botanical name f this variety indicates very clearly fie region from which it came. It i known amongst botanists by the iossypium Barbadense; literally, otton from or of Barbadoes. We lay as well add that very little efsrt was made to cultivate cotton in tie state of South Carolina, at least ea-island cotton, for a number of ' ears. Prior to the Revolution ' of 776, only small quantities of the 1 ariety called green seed was prouced for home consumption. Very ttle was shipped. In 1747, seven bales were shipped rom the city of Charleston and when l 1784, seventy-one bales were hipped to England, the authorities sized them as stolen goods, alleglg that all America could not prouce so much cotton. The first uccessful effort to grow sea-island otton in the state, was made by Vllliam Elliott, in the year 1790, ear Hilton Head, in the neighborood of the spot where Ribault atsmpted to plant a colony in 1562. The proprietors instructed West o take with him from Barbadoc3 half a dozen young sows and a oar" with which to stock the counry. This is a fact of some Interest, 'o doubt, in the swamps around the resent city of Charleston these nimals proved very prolific. Cattle nd sheep were brought to the state rom Virginia. The circumstances of ringing them were these: On the rst of May, 1670, the proprietors ?nt out Captain Halstead with suplies, to the colony planted at Ash- j ?y river, now called the Ashley river olony. So soon as the supplies were nloaded, he was instructed to load be ship with lumber and take it to be Barbadoes and exchange it for um and sugar. These were to be iken to Virginia, and exchanged for attle for the Ashley river colony. When America was discovered by )uropeans there were neither horses, ogs, cows nor sheep in the country. Ve cannot refrain from remarking hat the increase of these domestic nimals is most wonderful. Previus to the war of 1776, the country as full of wild horses, wild cattle nd wild hogs. This is more wonerful when we remember that the ountry was also full of bears, wolves nd panthers. Guthrie, an old geogapher, informs us that the beasts f prey were not so ravenous in .merlca, as the same kind of animals re in Africa and Asia. As the he country became settled and the umber of wild animals decreased, nd food for those which live on esh became scarce, the wolves and anthers became more troublesome j the planters and made greater avoc on their domestic animals. Capt. Halstead arrived at Ashley Iver in the month of August, 1671. le brought further orders to the olonlst respecting their organization, he orders were adressed "to the j overnor and council of Ashley river." . efore this the proprietors had learn[1 that the colony had given up ?he iea of settling at Port Royal and ad already located themselves on tp Ashlev river, on a high Dolnt hlch they had named in honor of i ne of the proprietors, Albemarle oint. It is evident that nothing but some ery potent reason could have in- , uced the colony to make this change. < he harbor at Port Royal is all that i ley could have desired, and more ( ver, as we have seen, they were in- | tructed to plant the colony at Port ( loyal. The reason no doubt, was lat the Indians in the neighborhood f Port Royal were incensed against ( tie whites, on account of the ill eatment which at various times c nd in different ways, they had roslved from the Spaniards. It Is alios! certain that the Spanish were readed by Governor Sayle and his ten. It Is true that a treaty nad < jut very recently been made between England and Spain, which granted :he Bahamas to England; but the Spaniards at St. Augustine cared very Ittle for treaties as many of their subsequent acts plainly show. The ixact number of the colony we do lot know, but many things lead us :o conclude that It was comparatively ?mall. The Spanish had been settled it St. Augustine for a long time, ind had grown comparatively strong. The colony under Sayle was by no means prepared to engage In a war ivlth the Spanalrds, and hence It was no doubt resolved to select another location less exposed to their hostile neighbors. The proprietors ordered Captain Halstead to leave with the colony at Ashley river, eight small ?uns and their carriages. The military stores were under the control of John Rivers, subject, however, to the governor. Previous to the arrival of Halstead in August, 1671, it is probable that the colonist were In possession of no cannon. This, also Is another reason why Governor Sayle was unwilling to risk settling it Port Royal. TO BE OONTINUBU. CAPTAIN MADE A DISCOVERY. How a Famished Crew Found Drinking Water. "It pays to know things," said the old sea captain as he sat on a New bearora wnun. 1 rciucmuci ? umc when ignorance nearly held me down and drowned me?or, I should say, nearly killed me for the want of a swallow of fresh water. "I'd shipped In a brig from New York going down to Brazil and southard, carrying a cargo of air and linen collars and such stuff and hoping to come back loaded with coffee. There weren't anybody on board had been In those waters afore except the captain, and he'd forgotten most of what he learned there. Everything went all right till we started to work north to a point just a couple of inches on the chart beyond the mouth of the Amazon river. "We hadn't stowed any water for a week or two, but the winds were fair enough to suit, and there didn't seem to be any reason to get suspicious. But one morning the captain, who'd been studying the chart, say3 to me, pointing to a shadow of land, 'There's the mouth of the Amazon.' He'd hardly got the words out of his mouth when the canvas flapped with a quick change of wind, and all the afternoon it got weaker and weaker as we approached shore. By the time night came you could drop a cannon ball overboard and drop a feather after it, and thev'd both hit the water In the same place. The next day the weather was thick, and you couldn't begin to see land. About eight bells the captain called me and says: 'Have you noticed the tide? Something's carrying us out to sea and it's a dead calm!' " 'What of it?' says I, careless. "Haven't we got time enough to wait for a wind?' " 'Time enough, all right,' he says, 'but not wind enough. What's left is in quarts, and not gallons,' he says. "I won't have to tell you how we tried to make the water last, or how tantalizing the ocean looked to us, or how our tongues swelled up after four day3 and got rough like leather, and how the weather kept thick and hazy, and we never sighted a sail or a steam vessel. We all could see Death perched on the bowsprit. And the sun dried out our skins as it dries starched clothes on Monday morning. "Finally, one afternoon, the captain crawled up on deck and began to rave. He was crazy. After awhile he grinned at me, and said, "I won't stand It any longer. If I don't get some moisture on me I'll crack open,' ana aunougn ne cuuiun i amm ? stroke, over the rail he went like a thing with wings. We all went to look over the side. "He came up after his bubbles. My stars, you should have seen the look on his face! I never saw such a sheepish expression In all my life. "'Scissors to grind!' he yells. 'This ocean ain't salt at all! The water's as fresh as hot doughnuts,' and he gulps down another quart of It, smacking his lips. 'Throw me a rope and lower a bucket. I've been made a fool of this week,' he says. "Sure enough, it was just as he said?the water was fresh. The delta of the Amazon pours such a big stream that even out of sight of land the water is sweet as dew on clover blossoms."?Youth's Companion. Wood's Seeds.
