BRASHEAR'S BROKEN LEG? full and exact particulars of thai re? markable accident.. It was Asa Brashear himself who told the story. Asa, as everybody in Louisville knows, is not unacquainted with cards. It is possible that be is better acquainted with the queen of i olubs than-he is with the queen of Sheba. It is probable that the blue and gold, of the king of diamonds is more familiar to him than the picture of Solomon arrayed, ia all his glory. In point of fact, it is highly probable that Asa is much better up in the history of Pharoah than all the kings of Isreal put together. Ii is also highly probable that Asa is fond of asocial glass or two; at least we have his own word to that effect, and nobody dare dispute w-hat Asa Brashear says, and expect to> come out of the fight with a sound head. But this is how he happened-to tell the story: Asa is lame of one leg, and we asked him one day what was the matter with the defective limb. "How did I happen to break my leg, did yon say? Well, it is a carious thing ana I'll teE you aboat it. You see I'd been drinking pretty nard for a week or so, and thought I'd lay off and get over it. I live in the third story, thirty feet or 60 from the ground, and my window comes almost down to the floor. It's mighty easy to fall out of that window, and therews a brick pavement down below which ain't as soft as a featherbed. So you see a fellow that'd fall down there would be mighty apt to hurt himself. Lfell down, there once, and I know How it is uiyselfl "It was dark when I went to my room that evenin", and I thought I'd sleep awhile and see if the trouble in my head wouldn't stop. It ?was a whizzing sort o' feeling, and I didn't feel exactly right about what I saw. In fact, the last drink I took that day there was a fly in it. ?tleast, I thought so; But Jimmy, who was behind the bar, looked sorter fuuuy when I asked him to take it out. Howsoever, I soon fell asleep, and slept I don't know how long ; but I woke up rather suddenly and heard a strange kind of noise outside the door. It was awful dark, and the noise on the steps sounded like a thousand men with felt slippers on. striking a thousand rattan canes on steps, ana all in military line. All at once music struck up, but it was faiut-like, as if the band was ever so far away. I tola) you- it was dark as pitch, but the door suddenly opened, and a blgzc or light came in that blinded me so that I couldn't see any more than when the door was shut. When I got over the daze I looked down on.the floor, and there was a long file of little soldiers, not one of'em higher'n "my finger, all a-marchin' into the room, headed by a band of music, and with the Kurnel, who wasn't big fer'n any of the rest of 'em, mounted on a orse correspoudin'. "Well, they marched into the room and formed in files in front of my bed and I was looking at 'em all the time. When they had all got fixed in proper ranks, the fellow on the horse got down, and the band stopped playin'. After he touched the floor the Kurnel commenced to grow, and before he stopped growin' he was as much as eight feet tall. I kept a look in' at him all the time, and he then got up on the bed and took a screw from his pocket and screwed it into the ceilin'. Then be stepped down again aud caught one o' them little sol? diers by the nap o' the neck and tied a string around his neck and stepped up on the bed. And I was lookin' at him all the time. Then he tied the other end of the string short on the screw and let go o' the little soldier. The poor little feller kicked around for awhile and grew black in the face, and then died ; at least he didn't make any more fus3 that night. When the Kurnel saw that he was dead, he got down again, and as soon as he touched the floor he began to grow smaller and smaller, until he was no bigger'n he was at first. Then he got on his horse and the band commenced to play, and he shouted 'Forward, march ;' and the lit? tle soldiers commenced marchin' out of the room. "Now there was one little soldier that seemed to be watchiu' me all the time, and when the resffof 'em commenced marchin'out, he slipped back from one fille to the other and so on till he had got to the rear rank. When the last of the little soldiers but him had got out of the door, this little chap he came runnin' back to the bed and says: "'Asa, put down your leg.' "Well, I put down my leg and the little cuss olimbed straddle cf my foot. " 'Now, Asa,' says he 'pull me up in the bed.' "I put my leg up on the bed again, and the little soldier ran up to the side of my pillow. " 'Asa,' says he, 'did you see the Kurnel hang that little soldier V " 'Yes/ says I, 'I was lookin' at him all the time.' " 'Well, Asa,' says he, 'he's a comin' back to do the same thing with you in a minute.' " 'Good God !' says I; 'what must I do ?' "'Asa,' says he, very solemnly, 'the only tiling you can do is just to jump out o' that winder.' "And I jumped; and that's how I happened to break my leg." The writer then inquired of Ana what he supposed was the explanation of what he saw in the room. "Well," 6aid Asa, "after I was taken back to my room, and the doctor had set ray leg, I told him all about it, and he laughed and said he supposed it was the jim-jams. And I suppose it was the jim-jams."? Courier Journal, The Name "Smith."?"Gentlemen,n said a candidate for Congress, "my name is Smith, and I am proud to say .that I am not ashamed of it. IS, may be that no person in this crowd owns that very uncommon name. If, however, there be one such, let him hold up his head, pull up his shirt-collar, turn out his toes, take courage, and thauk his stars that there are a few more left of the same sort. Geutlcmen, I am proud of being an original Smith, and not aSmithe nor Smythe, but a regular, natural S-m-i-t-h. Putting a y in the middle, or an e at the end, won't do, gentlemen. Who ever "beard of a great man by the name of Smylhe or Smithe? Echo answers who? and every? body say3 nobody. But for Smith, plain Smith, why the pillars of fame are covered with that honored and revered name. Who were the racy, witty and popular authors of this cen? tury? Horace and Albert Smith. Who the most original, pithy and humorous preacher ? Reverend Syduey Smith. To go further back, who was the bravest and boldest soldier in Sumters army in the revolution? A Smith. Who palavered with Powhattun, gallivanted with Pocahontas, and became the ancestor of the first families in Virginia. A Smith again. And who, I ask, and I ask the question most I seriously and soberly, who, I say, is that man, and what is his name, who has fought the most tattles, made the most speeches, preached the most sermons, held the most oliices, sung the most songs, written the most poems, courted the most women, kissed the most girls, and married the most widows? History says, J say, and you say, and everybody says, Mr. John Smith." ? A reporter paid his dentist in this way : "Dr. Crouse, the well known and popular den? tist, whose fame as an operator upon the hu? man tooth is as widespread as the heavens above, is about to leave his immense practice for a few days' shooting in Indiana, where the steady arm, which has so often torn the stub? born molar from its resting place, will direct the fatal pellet upon the gentle woodcock and fast flying snipe." ? There are 14,041 granges in the United States. A national bank, with So,000,000 gold capital, is a feature of the California branch and promises great success. I The Crop Prospects.?The Reports of I grain and cotton crops from all sections, are : pretty muck favorable. In a few days the wheat harvest will commence in the British Isles. The prospects for the wheat crop are bet? ter than it has been for several years, with a larger breadth of land sown to wheat than usual . The wheat crop on the British Isles will be the crop of the seasorj. In Germany the rye crop will not more than come up to- an average in quantity, though the quality prom? ises very good. The returns of the wheat crop are expected to be satisfactory. In France the crop reports are favorable, especially wheat; barley and rye crops perhaps not so good. In this country reports are encouraging. The cotton crop is shown to be above the average of the years since the war. The extension of cotton culture into new regions*such as por? tions of our State, Tennessee^andeven Kansas, has shown to be remunerative. The prospects of the corn crop are also promising. Though late in some States, it is now coming rapidly forward, and a good yield is anticipated. The promise of sugar and rice is fine in Louisiana, notwithstanding the destructive floods which afflicted that State. The growing cane crop in the State is the best since the war. The sup? position is that more sugar will be raised than in 1873? The crop of wheat is exceedingly good;, the estimates are that the excess over last year will amount to some twenty-five mil? lion bushels. In short, the general outlook is favorable, and doubtless in a few weeks we will be in & position which will tend to a recovery from the effects of the panic. Old Maids.?There was a time, says the Pall Mall Gazelle, when "old maids" were look? ed upon with an eye of pity, If not contempt, and it was thought marriage alone gave women any cjaim to consideration. Of late years how? ever, there has been a change of opinion in this respect, and unmarried women not only rank as high in general estimation as their married sis? ters, but bid fair soon to surpass them. Nor is this to be wondered at. A very few years ago it was a rare sight to see a married woman dan? cing at any ball given in the London season, whereas now wives dance with greater pertinaci? ty than their sisters or daughters, and balls are even given expressly for married women. The character of the British matron has, in fact, completely changed; instead of beimg grave and decorous, she has become a hopping, skip pingpreature, delighting every one by her grace and activity, but at the same time losing in weight, moral as well as physical, what she gains in enjoyment. In the meantime the spinster is rapidly rising?scornful flirtation, she leaves vain pursuits to the wife and mother. The Emperor of China has set a good exam? ple in the encouragement of spinsters. Ac? cording to a Shanghai journal he has just de? creed that special honors bo paid to two old maids, one of whom lately died after a life of devotion to the memory of her betrothed, while the other, who is still living, declined in her youthful days to make a most tempting match, on the ground that she could not leave her home. Some few old ladies in England have an equal claim to recognition of their merits, and it would both elevate and appease them if they were in like manner rewarded. ? It is only thirty years since the first elec? tric telegraph line was established, and at this time there are many more than a million miles of telegraph in use. NEARLY all diseases originate from Indi? gestion and Torpidity of the Liver, and relief is always anxiously sought after. If the Liver is Regulated in its action, health is almost in? variably secured. "Want of action in the Liver causes Headache, Constipation, Jaundice, Pain in the Shoulders, Cough, Chills, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, bad taste in the mouth, bilious at? tacks, palpitation of the heart, depression of spirits, or the blues, and a hundred other symp? toms, for which SIMMONS' LIVER REGU?

THE table of Sewing Machine sales for 1873, show that the sales were as follows: SINGER, - 232,111. Wheeler A Wilson, - 119,190. Domestic, - -10,114. Weed, ... 21,769. Wilson, - - - 21,247. American Button Ilole, 14,182. The table shows that sales of the Singer ex? ceed those of any other Company, for the pe? riod named, by the number of 113,254 Machines, or nearly double those of any other Company. It may be further stated'that the sales bf! 1873, as compared with those of 1872, show a relatively larger increase, beyond the sales of | other makers, than of any other year. For in? stance, in 1872 we sold 45,000 Machines more than any other Company, whereas, in 1873, the sales were 113,254 Machines in Excess of our Highest Competitor. These figures arc all the more remarkable, for the reason that the sales of the principal Companies in 1873 are less than tiieir sales in 1872; whereas, as has been shown, our sales have largely increased. The account of sales is from sworn returns made to the owners of the Sewing Machine Patents. It will hardly be denied, that the superiority of the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated. At all events that their popularity in the house? hold is unquestionable. The Singer Manuiactnring Company. J* B. CLARK A SON, Anderson, S. C., Agents for Abbeville, Anderson and Pickons. J. H.

BAD BLOOD. ' ? A corrupt tree," saith the Inspired Vol jCX time, "bringeth forth not good fruit." nor can corrupt blood impart health, beauty and good flesh or spirits. "The Blood is the Liny: and health ctm only be enjoyed in ita full perfection where the blood is kept ina pure and uncorrnpted state, hence the necessity of pure blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, lomr life and happiness. AN IMPURE CONDITION of the BLOOD, manifests itself in different forms of diseases, such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eves, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores or Swellings. Syphilitic Affections of the Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something is needed at once to cleanse the blood, and neutral? ize the insidious poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE, As it courses through the veins, sowing seeds of death with every pulastion. Dr. Pern berth's* Compound Extract of Stil lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will positively effect this desideratum, expelling every trace of disease from the blood and system, and leaving the skin SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL.
