^nkrsira Intelligenter. Anderson Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Andebson, September 15. The crops along the line of road as far up as Newberry look extremely poor; though 1 am tojd-that ^his.is one of the poorest "belts" in the* State, and, of course, the crops are not a fair sample of those of the surrounding coun? try. After leaving Newberry, however, the crops begin to improve, and I saw a few really fine fields of cotton. The corn crops are not up to the average. At Belton we stop to change cars for Anderson and Walhalla. A short ride of ten miles brings us to this pleasant country town. Upon my arrival here 1 was amused at the singular mode of the hotels in procuring boarders. Instead of the usual cry of hack drivers, "here's your 'bus to the Waverly House," Sic., a stalwart "freedman" politely walks upand inquires if you have any baggage for the Waverly House. Whether this mode is adopted to prevent "carpet-baggers" from gaining access to the house, or not, I did not stop to inquire, as my musings were cut short' by three little white-headed urchins, with "Oh, here's papa; I am so glad," &c. A short walk from the depot brings us to the Waverly House, a fine two story brick building. Two well supplied stores occupy the basement , the dining and bed-rooms are all on the second floor.The rooms are large, well ventilated and arranged, and kept scrupulously clean and neat. The table is well supplied with all the country affords; the food is well cooked, and the bill of fare will compare favorably with our city ho? tels. The house is presided over by Mrs. Rob son, a widow lady, who lost three sons in the Confederate army. There is an old saying, that but ' few men were born to keep a hotel, and however true this may be with the men, I am sure it does not hold good with the women. In proof, I would cite Mrs. R., of this place, Mrs. Butterfield, Mrs. Hilbur, and other ladies of Charleston. As I "pay for my board," I hope your readers will not consider this a "puff." I have just returned from a visit to the plan? tation of Mr. Keys, (to whose kindness and hospitatality I am much indebted.) This gen? tleman, together with his son and two other gentlemen from this District, were arrested (as you will remember) by the Federal authorities, shortly after the war, incarcerated in Castle Pinckney, tried, found guilty and sentenced to be hung, removed from thence to the Dry Tor tugas, from thence to Fort Delaware, where they were released on a writ of Habeas Corpus, and all this without one item of proof of guilt. After fourteen months of intolerable hardships they returned to the bosom of their families, whose anguish during thoue long months none oan realize except those who have experienced it. Mr. Keys, however, instead of repining over the past, put his shoulder to the wheel to retrieve his fortunes, How well he has suc? ceeded, a well cultivated and finely stocked plantation will testify. What, however, sur? prised me most, and will also perhaps some of your readers, was a fine rice field of about fif? teen acres. The seed planted was the genuine low land rice, planted in -ich low land, and so arranged as to oe flooded at will. The rice will average throughout the field from four and a hilf to five feet in height, and some over six feet, it is well headed, and the seed full and plump. I have procured a sample for exhibi? tion at the Courier office, on my return. Mr. Keys has also the best cotton that I have yet seen, although he does not expect to gather above half an average crop. This is owing to the long drought in July, which caused the young forms and squares to drop. I have met and conversed with a number of planters, and gentlemen from different sections of this State and Georgia, and I have found none who pre? dict more than a two-third crop, and a great many not more than one-naif. Anderson is a quiet, pleasant town, of about three thousand inhabitants. There are some beautiful residences in the town and around the suburbs. Ex-Governor} Orr"s residence is about a half mile out of town, immediately on the line of the railroad. There are a number of Charleston families here, and all seem well pleased with their coun? try cousi ns. But fearing i? weary your patience, Lwill bid you-adieu; Hotv Monkeys abe Caught.?We were much amused at reading the following extract from a letter in Africa, which recited how mon? keys are caught there : In Dafour and Sanaar the natives make a fer? mented beer of which the monkeys are passion? ately ' fond. Aware of this, the natives go to parts ot the forest freque nted by the monkeys, and set on the ground calabashes full of the liquor. As soon as the monkey sees it and tastes it, he utters loud cries of joy that soon attracts his comrades. Then the orgie begins, and' in. a short time they show all degrees of intoxication. Then the negroes appear. The few monkeys that come i:oo late to get fuddled, escape. The drinkers are too far gone to dis? trust the negroes, but apparently take them for larger specimens of their own species. When a negro takes one by the hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey, will cling to the one that thus finds a support, and endeavor to go off also. Another will grasp at him, and so on, until the negro leads- a staggering line of ten or fifteen tipsy monkeys.. When finally -brought to the village, they are securely caged and gradually sobered down; but for two or three days a gradually diminishing supply is given them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to their state of captivity. Dr. Darwin has for sometime been teaching the scientific world that men are only improve? ment on a well-grown monkey. From the above, which was clipped from Flake's Bulletin, and sent us by a friend, we have something to strengthen the monkey origin doctrine 1 But strong as the conduct of the monkeys resemble drunken men, the conduct of the negroes re? sembles that of the liquor-sellers still stronger. The negroes take advantage of the fondness of the poor monkeys for the beer, and use it to deceive and capture them. Once drunk, and the poor monkey is no longer free. So the liquor-seller sets out his beer and liquors, knowing the weakness of some of his fellow men, that when once they have gotten a taste of the poison, they will be no longer able to take care of themselves, but may be easily led off into captivity, to answer the purposes of the captor. Who is monkey enough to taste the accursed stuff, and be a caged victim the balance of his life ??Texas Visitor. As Usual.?A handsome bachelor clerk in one of the most popular dry goods stores in Atlanta, is smitten with a fair resident of a neighboring city. The father of the young lady came to Atlanta recently and registered at the hotel where the bachelor clerk boards. As soon as this discovery was made, the old gentleman was looked up and made the recipi? ent of earnest attention, (such as all of us have and arc disposed to pay the parents of the "hoped for,") to ingratiate himself into the parental favor. Just before going up to dinner the old gen? tleman wanted information of the young one where he could get a drink of "peach and honey." "Well, I don't know myself, but I've heard that in the bar-room good liquors are kept," was the innocent reply. The old gentleman asked the young one to show him the way. "Certainly. Though I don't driuk myself," replied the teetotaler. Arrived at the bar, the want of the old gen? tleman was made known, when the bar-tender, turning to the young man, coolly remarked: "I suppose vou will take gin and sugar, as usual, Mr.-?" I He "had or tor" winked sooner. I The Perils of Newspaper Life. The following o'er true tale, which is told in a vein equal to anything from the pen of John Phoenix, or Mark Twain, will be appreciated by both press and public. It is from the Phil? adelphia Dispatch : A week or two ago one of our reporters had occasion to refer to a certain woman, whom we will call Hannah Smith, as a denizen of the Eleventh Ward. A day or two atterward a huge man entered the office with his brow clothed with thunder. In his hand he carried a fearful club, and at his side trotted a bull dog whom hunger evidently had made desperate. With that quick appreciation of the situation which is creditable to the superior intelligence of an educated man, the editor of this paper and the proprietor dared to the window, climb? ed outside, slid down the lightning-rod, and went across the street to watch the bloody fray through a spy-glass. With the fearlessness of I conscious innocence we sit still, merely insert? ing our legs in two sections of stove-pipe to guard against any misapprehension of facts on the part of the bull dog. The man with the club approached. "Are you the editor?" he asked, spitting on his hand and grasping his club. We told him that the editor was out; that ho had gone to the North Pole with Captain Hall, and that he would not return before 1876, in time for the centennial celebration. "Are you the proprietor?" asked the man. We explained to him that we were not; that the proprietors were also out; that they had gone to South America for the purpose of in? vestigating the curative properties of cundu rango, and they expected to remain there for several years. "Well, whoever you are," exclaimed the war? rior, "my name is Smith 1" We told him we were glad, because, if there was one thing better than possession of the name of Smith, it was the privilege of know? ing a man of that name. "But, Smith," we said, "why this battle array? It is absurd for a man to put on the panoply of war, and frisk into editors' sanctums, fumbling a clnb, accom? panied by a disheartening bull dog, simply be? cause his name happens to be Smith." He said he called in to burst the head of the I man who had insulted his sister. "It is impossible, Smith, that such a thing could have been done by any one in this office." "Yes, but it was, though; and her name was mblished, tool Miss Smith?Miss Hanner Smith 1" "May we be permitted to inquire, Mr. Smith, 1 what was the precise character of the affront ioffered to Hannah?" "Well, you see," said Smith, "the blackguard 'said she was a denizen. Anal want to under? stand," exclaimed Smith, becoming excited and j! brandishing his club in a wild manner over our [head, while the bull dog advanced and com? menced to sniff up and down our stove-pipe, ' "I want you to understand that she is a decent I young woman, with a good character, and none j of your dtnizens and such truck. The man who says she is a denizen is a blackguard and thief) land I'll smash him over the nose if I get a I chance. They may say what they please about j me, but the man who abuses my sister has got to suffer." And Smith struck the table in a violent manner with his club, while the bull j dog put his forelegs up on the back of our chair. We pacified Smith with a dictionary. We pointed out to raging warrior that the Webste rian definition of the word "denizen" gives such a person an inoffensive character and deprives the term of anything like reproach. Smith said he was satisfied, and he shook hands and kicked the bull dog down stairs. The editor and proprietors, seeing that all was safe, imme? diately climbed the lightning rod and soon ap? peared at the window, where they were intro? duced to Smith, with the remark that they had returned from the North Pole and the clime of the cundurango somewhat anexpeetedly, in or , der to surprise their relations. And now we suppose Smith will be mad be? cause we have told this story about him, and he will be coming down to interview us again in war's magnificently stern array with a fresh bull dog. But it will be in vain. We have rented an office in the top of the shot tower and planted torpedoes and spring guns all the way up the stairs. We warn this, incendiary Smith beware.

Saturday Night.?Saturday night makes people human, sets their hearts to beating, as they used to do before the world turned them into drums, and jarred them to pieces with tattoos. The ledger closes with a slash, the iron-doored vaults come to with a bang, up go the shutters with a will, click goes the key in the lock. It is Saturday night, and we breathe free again. Homeward, ho i The door that has been ajar all the week closes behind us; the world is shut out. Shut in, rather. Here are our treasures after all,and not in the vault, and not in the book?save tbo old record in the old family Bible?and not in the bank. May? be you arc a bachelor, frosty and forty. Then, poor fellow, Saturday niglit is nothing to you, I just as you are nothing to nobody. Get a wife, blue-eyed or brown-eyed, but above all true eyed. Get a little home?no matter how little; a sofa, just to hold two, or two and a half, and then get two, or two and a half in it of a Sat? urday night, and then read this paragraph by the light of your wife's eyes, and thank heaven and take courage.?Exchange. ? Money is said to be the root of all evil? yet many people spend their lives in rooting for it. ? Why are some young ladies like the fish? ermen of Galilee? Because, when they draw their nets they find them full to overflowing. ? A little girl, just returned from a party, was asked by her mamma how she had enjoyed herself. "Oh, mamma!" she said, "I'm so full of happiness ; I couldn't be no happier, with? out I was bigger." I Startling Phenomena In Florida. The last Palatka Herald has a letter from Orange County, Fla., containing a thrilling narrative of the sinking of a good portion of that County and the formation of a lake where it once stood. After relating the experience of j one man, he goes to another, whose account is as follows: More and more wonderful. Mr. Alex. A. Foster has just come in with more marvellous and startling reports. He says that on his way from Orlando to Millonville, after crossing Fort Metlin branch, he left the road to avoid the constant bogging to which he was subjec? ted. The safest place he thought would be on the crown of a high black jack ridge, running* parallel with the road, which he accordingly took. After riding perhaps a mile, his horse commenced bogging, and for some distance it was questionable whether he could get through; he, however, reached more solid footing; again he commenced bogging; at this time he no? ticed remarkable portentous sounds in his rear. The bogging now grew worse as he progressed, until hehaa to dismount; there seemed no es? cape for him, both he and his horse were still bogging. The sounds in his rear increased more and more, and became more and more alarming and the route in front more boggy? he dared not stop, as this would have rendered it impossible to have extricated himself?he neither dared nor could look behind him, his whole thought and aim was to reach terra firma. At last, after the most superhuman exertions, both he and his horse exhausted to the most extreme degree, he reached the solid ground. Turning to examine into the cause of those fearful sounds in his rear, he saw the most ter? rific and appalling sights it has ever been my fate to listen to. The first thing that attracted attention, was that the trees were moving, first a giratory motion of the top, then some sink? ing gradually out of sight, the tops revolving more and more rapidly as it sunk and disap? peared, others following, and as they fell, re? volving and describing arcs of a circle against the sky. Then the whole earth, as far as the eye could reach, sinking, and its place supplied by a sea of waters, rushing, seething, boiling with the noise of mighty cataracts, and ever and anon casting to the surface the roots, tops or bodies of mighty pines and oaks. If I could only tell it to you in the language of the awe stricken witness; it must have been beyond comparison tbe most fearfully appalling and awe-inspiring sight ever witnessed. The horse and man lie now panting at the memory of the horrors they have so miraculously escaped. People are rushing from the scene of disas? ter. Our camp is crowded with the terror stricken inhabitants from the country in our rear. Everybody is waiting with forebodings and horrible expectations. They believe the day of judgment has come. This extraordinary phenomena appears more and more extraordinary. The country from two or thsee miles from here to Lake Matlin is entirely submerged, and is now one vast sea. Nothing authoritative from beyond, though ru? mors are rife that Orlando is swallowed up, and the whole chain of lakes to Lake Con way are united and form an immense inland sea. We lqpve* immediately and in terror for our own fate. Deceiving Children.?Dr. B. was called to visit a sick boy, twelve years of age: As he entered the house the mother took him aside and told him she could not get her boy to take any medicine except she deceieved him. "Well, then," said Dr. B? "I shall not give him any. Ho is old enough to be reasoned with." He went to the boy, and after an examination, said to him: "My little man, you are very sick and must take some medicine. It will taste badly and make you feel badly for a little while, and then I expect it will make you feel better." The Doctor prepared the medicine, and the boy took it like a man, without any resistance ; and he would take from his mother anything that the physician had prescribed, but would take nothing else from her. She had so often deceived him and told him it was good, when she gave medicines, that he would not trust to anything she said. Honesty with children, as well as with all others, and in all circumstances, is the best policy. An Affecting Incident.?For years, says the Eureka Sentinel, we believed that tbe young man who killed his father and mother, and ap? pealed to the court for mercy on the ground that he was an orphan, was the height of the profession in that direction; but an actual oc? currence, a few days since, is just a li ttle better. A woman had been tried for killing her hus? band, and had been declared not guilty. She was shaking hands with her friends, and ap? proached tbe clerk's desk, on which lay the pistol with which she had shot him, and asked the judge if she could have it. It was assented to, when she remarked: "This is the only thing which I_ have, to re? member my poor, dear husband by 1" Could feeling go farther, after acknowledging that she shot him ? What is Home ?? "Home,." says Robertson in his sermons, "id the one place where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of con? fidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defence, and where we pour out the unreserved communica? tions of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any dread of ridicule. Let a man travel where he will, home-is-the place to which 'his heart untravcled fondly turns.' He is to double all pleasure there. He is to divide all pain. A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon this earth for the culti? vation of his noblest sensibilities." ? A correspondent of the Scientific Ameri? can says : Let any one who has an attack of lock-jaw take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter where the wound is, and relief will follow in less than one minute. Nothing better can be applied to a severe cut than cold turpentine; it will give certain relief almost instantly. Tur? pentine is also a soverenj-n remedy for croup. Saturate apiece of flannel with it and place the flannel on the throat and chest, and in a very severe case three to five drops on a lump of sugar may be taken inwardly. -Every fami? ly should have a bottle on hand. ? The watch trade is cited as as illustration of the reason why women cannot earn the same wages as men, although possessing equal me? chanical ability. In England it is stated that many of the workmen had tried to instruct their wives, sisters and daughters to follow the busi? ness, but that the nervous power of women was inadequate for work requiring such strict accu? racy as watch-making. The watch trade, it was asserted, had gone to Switzerland because many persons were not particular as to the va? riation in the rate of their watches, and there? fore purchased a cheap and inferior article, the product of the labor of the Swiss women. ? The ladies say that the bustle that Is made about the Grecian bend is newspaper stuff. ? Time is woman's rival; for no tight lacing can be compared to the waste of time. ? The sailor who kuow for a fact that there was a man in the moon, had been to sea. ? The chaplain of the Towa State prison was asked by a friend how his parishioners wero? "All under conviction," was the reply. A party wants to know if the danger on a steamboat arises from there being an engine near, or an engineer. About half and half, wc should say.
