HISSINGS AND THE WIDOW.
One Sunday Higgings came into my
office and rat down without a word. For
some minutes he sat still, watching me
intently as if he was trying to make out
by the sound of my pen what I was writ*
ing.
TlSquire." said he at length, "did I ever
tell you about my scrape with the widow
Horry, up here on the river?"
"Never did," said I, laying down my
peu, "let's hear it" .
"They're curious creatures, widows is,"
said he in a meditative tone, "and the
more you study about 'em the more you
don't know about 'em. What was this
thing I've read about in Egypt, or some
other country, that nobody could un?
riddle?"
. "The Sphinx, probably," I replied.
"Well,* he continued, "that was a
widow as sure as you ever had a granny.
Everything else in the earth has been
found out but them, and they're as much
a mystery to-day as the length of the
North Pole. You may read the history
of the world from Genesis to Revelations,
and you'll find that widows has been at
the bottom or top of five quarters of all
the devilment that's been cut up. Was
you ever in love with one ?"
"Lots of them," said I.
"You're a great gander?that's what
you are." said he. "A man that loves
one ana gets over it won't never get bit
by another, if he's got as much sense a
a ground hog. I don't consider I've got
any sense at all, but I'm a little grain too
smart to let another of them get all the
trumps on me. The widow Horry that I
was a speaking of, is a little the hand
somest woman I reckon that ever looked
a man into fits, and I ought to be a judge,
for I've seen lots of pretty women in my
day. She was about twenty-five years
old when I went up there to work, just
in the bloom of her beauty and as full of
deviltry as a three year old mule colt.
There was a ball over at Jenkins', and of
course I went for I always go where
there's any fun going on, and generally
act the fool before I get away, of course.
The widow was there, dressed as fine as
Solomon's lilies, ana flying around as
frisky as a young lamb in a rye patch.;
I got introduced to her and asked her to
dance with me, and when she flushed her:
eves at me and said 'yes,' I jumped up
like I had set down on a griddle. You!
may talk about sensation, but when she
took hold of my hand and I sorter
squeezed it, I felt a sensation as big as a
load of wood, and it kept running up and
down my back like a squirrel with a
hawk after him. Fm verylondof dan?
cing; but Til be hanged if I know
whether I enjoyed it that night or not.
for every time she took hold of my hand
I'd commence feeling curious behind my
ears and op and down my back again,
and then I wouldn't know whether I was
on earth or in a balloon, or on a comet,
or anything about it It was undoubted?
ly a case of love at first sight, and a pow?
erful bad case at that. For a wonder I;
got through tiie frolic without making
myself conspicuous or cutting up any,
extras, as I'm in the habit of doing when'
I go into public I'd se t my pegs to go
home with the widow riter the ball, but
just as I was fixing my mouth to ask her,
up steps a big, long, leather faced doctor,'
named Mabry, and walked net right off;
before my eyes. That riled me a little,
but I kept my tongue still, inwardly
swearing to break his bones the very first
opportunity that presented itself. I saw
there was no use in saying anything, so I
went home and went to bed, and ail the
rest of the night I was dreaming about
rainbows, angels, butterflies, fiddles,
widows and doctors, mixed up worse
than a Dutchman's dinner. Well,
'Squire, to 'make a short story of it, I
made up my mind to have the widow,' or
kill myself, or somebody else. So I made
it convenient to be on hand where she
was, upon all occasions. I couldn't eat
nor sleep nor work, and if the thing had
held on, I wouldn't have had sense
enough left to skin a rabbit But I was
determined it shouldn't last long, for I'd
been fooled so often by women that I
thought I wouldn't give her time to think
of anything but me. She appeared to
take to me right sharply, and the doctor
seemed inclined to mix in with me, but I
didn't consider him no more than a
brush fence, for I was so far gone I
thought she could see nobody on earth
but me. Well, 'Squire, things went on
so for 'bout a month, and one Sunday I
screwd up my spunck and put the ques?
tion to her. She sorter laughed and
sorter looked one-sided, and finally told
me she couldn't give me an answer just
then, but if I'd call at her house next
Thursday evening she'd give me a final
answer. Thinks I you are mine Just as
sure as there's a fiddler below. When?
ever a woman takes time to study shell
say yes. 'Squire, don't the poets say
something about the calculation of men
and going crooked f
"Mice and men, Burns says," I an?
swered.
"Well, mice and rats is all one, and so
is men and fools sometimes, as I have
found out in my travels. I was so sure
she would have me I went off and spent
all my money.for fine clothes, thinking I
would have them ready for the wedding
?and I did! Confound that widow! I
say! Confound all widows! Thursday
evening come at last, though it was a
long time about it, and over I went
dressed into fits, and feeling as big as
Josh Ray nor did when he was elected
coroner. I got there about dark, and
found a right smart crowd collected,
which was not on the bills, but I felt as
big and as good as the rest of 'em. So I
marched in like a blind mule into a
rtato patch, and took a seat by the fire,
didn't see anything of the widow, but
I kept looking for her to come in and
send for me. and passed away the time
by cussin' the crowd to myself, thfokW
they had no business there, and I would
not get to talk to my woman a bit
Presently the door opened and in walked
Polly and that long legged Doctor, and
a whole team of boys ana girls fixed up
savagely, I tell you. I looked around for
a fiddler, they were going to have a ball,
but wondered what they kept so still for,
and was about proposing a reel, when, op
gits a little preacher, and before yon
could swallow a live oyster, he had Polly
and the Doctor married faster than a
Mexican greaser could tie a bull's horns.
I was so completely flummuxsd that I
set there with my month open like I was
going to swallow the whole crowd, and
my eyes looked like billiard balls till the
ceremony was over, when I jumped up
and bellowed :
"I forbid the concern from being con?
stituted F'
' "You are a little too late, my friend,"
said the preacher, and they all com?
menced laughing like they had seen
something funny.
"Ill be squizzied if I don't be soon
enough for somebody yet," says I, "for I
was mad 'Squire, and no mistake in the
ticket. I could have eat that Doctor
quicker than a hungry dog could swallow
a squirrel skin, if I could have had a fair
chance at him. It was too bad after I
had fixed up to marry her myself, for her
to walk right out before my eyes and
marry that great baboon."
"It was bad, that is a fact," said L
"Bad!" cried he, "it was meaner than
eating fried coon. I first thought I'd go
straight home, but then concluded that
wouldn't spite nobody, so I determined
to stay ana see if I couldn't get satisfac?
tion oat of somebody. You know I'm
the deuce to get myself or somebody else
into a scrape when I take a notion, and
I'd taken one that night that went all
over me like a third day chill, so I com?
menced a study*!! oat some plan. I
recollected hearing the doctor say that
where he come from (but the Lord only
knows where that was) the bride and
groom always washed their faces together
as a charm against infidelity, or some
other long word. While I was study'n
about that, I spied the doctor's saddle
bags sitting np in the corner, so I waited
till they went into supper, and then I
got the bags and looked to see what I
could discover. Nearly the first thing I
saw was a piece of lunar caustic. I
slipped it into my pocket, for I had my
plan as soon as I saw it. Well, I
watched around till I saw one of the girls
go to to the pail with a pitcher, so I
went out and asked her what she was go?
ing to do with it She said she was going
to carry it into the room for the Doctor
and Polly to wash their faces in. I kept
talking to her while she was filling the
pitcher, and when she turned her head I
dropped the caustic into it It was theo
about bed time, and I got my hat and
put out, but I couldn't help laughing all
the way home, whenever I d think about
it next morning.
"Well, 'Squire, they do say that when
that couple waked up next morning they
both had the hardest kind of fits, each
one thinking they had been sleeping with
a nigger. Oh, it was rich! He a cussin'
and tearing up things, and she a faintin'
and comin' to and going off again, and
me not there to see it They made such
an unearthly racket that the folks broke
into the room to see what was the matter,
and there they was with their faces and
hands all as black as the inside of an old
stove pipe. I'd give half my interest in
the tother world just, to have been at
some safe place where I could have seen
the whole row. As Boon as they found
out that they was really the same folks
that married the night before, they called
for warm water and soap, but just here
the doctor happened to think about the
pitcher and took it to the door to see
what was the matter. There was a little
piece of caustic that had not dissolved,
and as soon as h e saw it, he says:
"Ifs no ise washing, Polly. All the
soap in New York city wouldn't wash
that black off."
"That was the truth, 'Squire, soap and
water had no more effect than it would
on a native born African, and all the
chance was to wait and let it wear off.
How long it took them to get white
again, I never found out, but one thing I
do know," he concluded, getting up to go
out "the next time I saw the doctor I
had the hardest fight, and come the
eignest getting whaled that I ever did in
allmy born days 1"
Curiosities of the Smithsonian Insti?
tute.
We had the pleasure on. Saturday of
meeting Clark Mills, the celebrated
American sculptor, who arrived from St
Augustine, Florida, where he has been
the past month in the interests of the
Smithsonian Institute. The object of
his mission to St Augustine was.to ob?
tain casts of the Indian chiefs confined
as prisoners of the government in the
fort at that place. This work has been
completed by him, and he brought with
him perfect casts of the sixty-four Indian
chiefs at present confined there. We
learn that these casts are taken by an
entirely new process of his own inven?
tion, and which he has patented. The
Indians were remarkably superstitious,
and showed a reluctance to submit to the
operation until "Long Wolf," a noted
chief,, who had been several times to
Washington and had conversed with the
"Great White Father," and is, conse?
quently, somewhat more civilized, was
induced to have his classic features cast
The operation is thus described: An
elastic cap is first drawn tightly over the
head, completely covering the hair, but
leaving the forehead entirely exposed.
On this is poured plaster of Paris, which
quickly hardens and thus gives the exact
shape of the skull. The new preparation
is then laid upon the face wit a a soft
brush, the .nostrils being left free. In
three minutes this preparation hardens,
and is very easily and rapidly removed,
and a Jac simile likeness of the person
is obtained. This cast shows all the
wrinkles, pimples, eyelashes and eye?
brows clearly and distinctly, and not a
hair on the face is removed. When the
cast of "Long Wolf was taken ten of
the other chiefs were admitted to see the
operation, in order that they might be
convinced no harm was intended them.'
They were exceedingly curious, and
watched the process with great interest
When the cast had been secured he ex?
posed it to them and their astonishment
was great They looked at the cast, then
at the countenance of "Long Wolf,"
again and again, and seemed quite ex?
cited, and finally laughed as heartily as
an Indian can laugh, and seemed much
amused. He inquired of the interpreter
what amused them so, and was informed
that they were laughing at the "White
Indian,* the cast of "Long Wolfs" fea?
tures being perfectly white.
After this there was no trouble in tak
ing the casts of all the sixty-four chiefs
representing the four different tribes.
These casts are intended for the Ethno?
logical Department of the Smithsonian
Institute, it being the intention of the
managers of that institution to obtain
the casts of representatives of every race
in the world. A number have already
been obtained, among them casts of two
Esquimaux, a man and a woman, which
were taken by him some time since.
The casts of the Indians are all neatly
packed and boxed, and brought along by
nun,' together with a number of other
curiosities, the principal of which is a
large sword-fish, measuring eighteen feet
in length and two and a half feet across
the middle. This fish was caught by
some persons fishing for turtles near St
Augustine, and was purchased by Lieut
Pratt, of the United States Army, in
charge of the fort at that place, and by
him presented to the Smithsonian Insti?
tute. This mammoth fish was skinned
and prepared for the museum by an old
Frenchman at St Augustine. He has
also secured a singular species of fish
known as the "wharf rat/' a monster
chun cracker, which resembles somewhat
a devil fish, and a flying fish, which lat?
ter is nut np in alcohol, the others being
stuffed.
We were also informed that while he
was in St Augustine several of the In?
dian chiefs received letters from their
wives, which were forwarded by the offi?
cers of the posts in the West He de?
scribes these letters as very peculiar, and
succeeded, after much difficulty, in se?
curing one from "White Horse," and a
copy of another. The Indians have no
letters, their communications on paper
being entirely by objects, such as a house,
horse, field of corn, buffalo hunt, etc.
Each one of these objects signifies some?
thing, and the Indian reads it fluently
and rapidly. One instance was men?
tioned to us which will, in a measure,
explain this peculiar mode of communi?
cation, that it is rather difficult of expla?
nation. One of the chiefs, some time
since, sent his squaw a parasol and a fan.
He received a 'letter,'' in which the re?
ception of the articles was thus made
known: In the centre of the paper was
the figure of a squaw; above the figure a
representation of a yellow bird. This
denoted that her name was "Yellow
Bird." In her hand was a drawing of a
parasol, and an open fan, and above this
a sketch of a bald eagle, signifying that
"Yellow Bird" had received a parasol
and a fan from her husband, "Bald Ea?

INFORMATION FOB GRANGERS.
Questions and Answers.
Master's Office, State Grange,
Chappell's Depot, Newbebby, S. C.
How can "dormant" Oranges be re?
vived ? No Grange ceases to exist nntil
its charter is revoked or surrendered, and
the officers are incumbent until their
successors are elected and installed. The
Worthy Master of the National Grange
has ruled that a quorum may be as low
as seven (7) members. Consequently,
any seven members of a dormant Grange
can revive it by the following process:
Learn from the Secretary of the Pom on a
Grange, if one in the county, and if not,
from Secretary of State Grange, the exact
status of said Grange upon the books,
viz: The last report and payment
Then make the reports and remittances
of dues required to "clear" the Grange
on the books, and get a receipt and cer?
tificate for same. Take this receipt or
certificate to the Worthy Master of Po?
mona Grange, if one, or Master of State
Grange, ana upon it he will give to the
Worthy Master of said Grange the A. P.
W. Then the Grange will be in good
order and standing.
When a Grange is hopelessly "dor?
mant," and members cannot get "demits,"
how are they to act to be relieved from
the "dormant" Grange and connect them?
selves with other Granges? In such
cases, let the Patron pay to the Secretary
of the Pomona, if one, or State Grange,
the amount of bis individual dues which
have accrued since he last paid his dues
to his Secretary of subordinate Grange.
He will receive a receipt and certificate
for same which he can use, "in lieu of
demit," to join any subordinate Grange
he may wish.
All Granges that fail to report to offi?
cers of Pomona or State Grange, and per?
sist in it, subject themselves to a revoca?
tion of charter. When said officers have
exhausted their effort to revive "dormant"
Granges and are satisfied it is hopeless,
they should then report to Master of
State Grange, so that he can take steps
to revoke the charters and stop them
from any longer cumbering the order.
Parents and guardians wishing to se?
cure the schojarship in the "Carolina
Military Institute," comprised in the
very liberal offer of Col. J. P. Thomas,
superintendent, will communicate with
Coi. E. M. Sims, Secretary of the Execu?
tive Committee of the State Grange, at
Columbia, giving a full statement of the
age, name, county, post office, progress
in elementary studies, &c., &c, of their
sons or wards desiring the appointments.
Should applications be in excess of num?
ber of scholarships, the committee will
hold a meeting and examination to guide
them in awarding the scholarship. All
applicants will be notified of meeting of
committee and of its final award.
Having just reached home after a long
continual absence, and a sick family,

lb Worthy Secretary pro ion. of Chester
County Pomona Orange:
1. Pomona Granges can require dues
from all subordinate Granges in county
or jurisdiction, not exceeding 5 cents per
member per quarter.
2. Members of Pomona Granges pay
only $1 membership fee to Pomona, but
pay dues to their respective subordinate
Granges as other members do.
8. Pomona Granges are responsible to
State Grange only for such dues as it re?
ceives from subordinate Granges for the
State Grange, i.the quarterly dues of
6 cents per member, but should report all
Granges in its jurisdiction, both paying
and non-paying.
To Worthy Master, Lexington Pomona:
By ruling from Worthy Master of Na?
tional Grange, when the State Grange
has not provided otherwise, delegates to
Pomona Gunge are elected annually.
When dues are paid to Secretary of
Pomona Grange by a member of a dor?
mant Grange, 6 cents per quarter goes to
Secretary of State Grange and-balance
into the treasury of Pomona Grange.

From the Lexington Dispatch,
As you, no doubt, have seen through
the Charleston and Columbia papers, the
meeting at Anderson was a grand success,
I will not attempt a description, believing
that most of your readers have received
the news through the same channel. I
always feel a delicacy in writing for pub?
lication, as some one is always ready to
criticise either the composition or motive
of a writer. But in the position which I
am compelled to occupy lam necessarily
compelled to ask the favor of a small
space in your paper occasionally, to ex?
tend information to the members of the
Grange, in whom I shall ever feel a deep
and abiding interest In the face of duty
I feel the force of the poet's words:
"I reck but little what betideth me,
As much I hope all good befalleth thee."
Anderson is the most active county in
the interest of the Grange. Most of the
counties have formed Pemona Granges,
and established agencies, through which
the members are receiving the pecuniary
benefits of the order, and in all such in?
stances the Grange is in a thriving and
prosperous condition. Let us then go
and do likewise. Establish an agency,
mass our orders, and have no fear tor the
taunts and jeers of the shop-keeper. I
appeal to the dormant Granges in this
county to appoint a time, meet together,
Say up your hack indebtedness, send up
elegates to the Pomona Grange on the
first Wednesday in October. Have your
wives and daughters at your meetings
and resolve to be more active members
in the future, and my word for it, you
will receive the pecuniary, as well as the
social and educational advantages of the
Grange. It is sad to reflect that many
with whom we held sweet intercourse in
our old association, may never meet us
again, within the walls of the inner gate.
I wish the Master or Secretary of each
subordinate Grange would send me a list
of their members present at the organiza?
tion of the Pomona Grange, to insert as
charter members.
At the meeting in Anderson, each
county was called to know what progress
and especially Pomona. When Lexing?
ton was called I was in a strait betwixt
two, not knowing how to represent a
thing we have, and have not I stated
that after our meeting in October I
thought I would be able to report a suc?
cessful Pomona Grange. I trust that my
expectations may be fully realized. The
Worthy Master's ruling is that the dollar
must be paid before any one is entitled
to membership in a Pomona Grange. It
is an optional matter whether the assess?
ment clause is enforced or not He also
rules that any member whose Grange
never meets, and not living near enough
to attend any other, may belong to, and
pay dues directly to the Pomona. Let
me again impress it upon the minds of
the Masters and Secretaries to send up
their quarterly reports to our next meet?
ing, and give ycur delegates a sealed cer?
tificate stating whether they are clear
upon the books. I have no right to pass
them if they are not properly vouched
for by those who are the custodians of a
Grange.
According to instruction I have felt it
my duty to make an appeal to the delin
auent Granges. I am ordered to report
taeir condition and recommend that their
charters be revoked if they cannot be
revived and put in working order by the
first October. I shall regret exceed?
ingly to make such a report in reference
to any of the Oranges, but I do not
wish to take any action in the matter
otherwise than simply tu perform my
duty.
The State Grange I am pleased to say
by making but a few small salaried offi?
cers, and the good engineering of the
Worthy Master, has been relieved from
all her back indebtedness. We can now
expect to see her rise like the phoenix and
go forward to a prosperous future.

THE PROPHET'S WILL.
Two Millions for Seventeen Wives and
Forty-Four Children?His Directions
for his Funeral.
Brigham Young's will was read on
Monday in the presence of all his wives
and children and a few friends. Brig
ham Young, Jr., Geo. 0. Cannon and
Albett Carnnton are named as his exec?
utor;. The estate is largely real estate,
and is probably worth $2,000,000. The
will was made four years ago, and his
youngest child, born of Mary Van Cott,
was then three years old. Brigham
Young was the father of fifty-six chil?
dren, and left seventeen wives, sixteen
sons and twenty-eight daughters. The
will aims to make an equitable division
of the property among all the wives and
children, with no preference to any.
Most of them have already had some?
thing deeded to them. On this a valua?
tion was set, and it is to be charged to
the recipients as part of their share,
though not necessarily at the valuation
he put on it. That is to be equitably
adjusted when the estate is divided, upon
the youngest child coming of age.
Meantime the income is to go to the
various mothers according to the number
of their children, and they can withhold
it if the children behave badly. All are
provided for as far as their present needs
are concerned. His first wife and Ame?
lia are given a life interest in the Amelia
Palace?a large, modern, new. fine house,
but he is known to have changed his
mind about that, chiefly because they de?
clined it for reasons best known to them?
selves, although nothing in or out of the
will has as yet come to Tight showing it,
and they are not otherwise provided for,
except by their share of the income.
The prophec held many interests in trust
for the church and for individuals. His
executors are directed to turn them over
firoperly. The church is forbidden by
aw to hold more than $50,000 worth of
property; and so it was largely held by
Brigham Young in trust. His friends
will not entertain the notion that he
ever abused that trust. There is no in?
ventory of the property on the estate,
and it is widely scattered. With the
country prosperous'and full of money, it
would be worth twice the above valua?
tion.
Recently Brigham Young endowed an
academy with lands at Pro vo and anoth?
er at Logan?the latter with 12,000 acres.
He had determined to endow one at Salt
Lake, but did not live long enough to do
so.
Brigham Young's directions for his
funeral, written four years ago, were as
follows:
"I, Brigham Young, wish my funeral
services to be conducted in the following
manner: When I breathe my last, I wish
my friends to put my body in as elean
and wholesome a state as can convenient?
ly be done, and preserve the same for
one, two, three or four days, or as long
as my body can be preserved in good
condition.
"I want my coffin made of plain one
and-a-quarter red-wood boards, not
scrimped in length, but two inches long?
er than I would measure, and from two
to three inches wider than is commonly
made for a person of my breadth and
size, and deep enough to place me on a
little comfortable cotton bed, with a good
suitable pillow in size and quality. My
body dressed in my Temple clothing, and
laid nicely into my coffin, and the coffin
to have the appearance that if I wanted
to turn a little to the right or left I
should have plenty of room to do so; the
lid can be made crowning.
"At my interment I wish all my family
present that can be conveniently, and
the male members to wear no crape on
their hats or coats; the families to buy
no black bonnets or dresses nor black
veils, but if they have them they are at
liberty to wear them.
"And services may be permitted, as
singing and a prayer offered, and if any
of my friends wish to say a few words
they are desired to do so.
"And when they close their services,
to take my remains on a bier and repair
to the little burying ground which I have
reserved on my lot east of the White
House on the hill. On the southeast
corner of this lot I have a vault built of
mason work large enough to receive my
coffin, and that they may place in a box,
if they choose, the same as the coffin?
red-wood?then place rocks over the
vault sufficiently large to cover it, that
the earth may be placed over it?as fine
dry earth as can be had?to cover it until
the walls of the little cemetery are hid,
which will leave me in the southeast
corner.
"This vault ought to be roofed over
with some kind of temporary roof.
There let my earthly tabernacle rest in
peace and comfort and have a good sleep
until the morning of the first resurrection
?no crying world mourning with any
one.
"I have done my work faithfully and
in good faith. I wish this to be read at
the funeral, provided.that if I should die
anywhere in the mountains I desire the
above directions respecting my place of
burial should be observed. But if I
should live to get back to the church in
Jackson county, Mo., I wish to be buried
there.

of Latter Day Saints.

ances for shipping the guano, but when
they arrived where the islands were
known to be there was nothing to be
seen but water. The islands had disap?
peared entirely, how and when is a mys?
tery. It was generally supposed that
Australia lay out of the line of active
volcanic agency, so that the phenomenon
is all the more remarkable.
? The California Bertha von Hillern
is a Miss Kate Lawrence, who is an?
nounced to shortly undertake at San
Francisco the prodigous feat of walking
100 miles in 28 consecutive hours. Miss
Von Hillern has a record of a mile in 13
minutes 18 seconds. Miss Lawrence
claims to have made her mile in 10 min?
utes, and 75 miles in 24 hours. It is not
unlikely that, if the California favorite
should fulfill expectations, a transconti?
nental match may be arranged with Bos?
ton. In that event bets will no doubt be
freely offered that Miss Lawrence will
lop the backbone of the continent before
Miss Von Hillern can strike Cheyenne.
It is the intention of Miss Lawrence to
travel East and throw down the gauntlet,
or rather the slipper, after demonstrating
her pedestrian powers in San Francisco.
But perhaps it's that "wonderful clim?
ate" that's at the bottom of Miss Law?
rence's extraordinary powers, and she
should be wary of exchanging its stim?
ulus for the more debilitating atmos?
phere of the East.
All Sorts of Paragraphs.
? People that beggars cant pat up
with?Hotel-keepers.
? Why are darned hoes like dead
men? Because they are mended (men
dead.)
? Great contest after two months of
married life?Which shall be speaker of
the bouse.
? When you see a pretty girl putting
on a postage-stamp, then don't you wish
you were George Washington ?
? Actresses have their pictures taken
when they are young, and when they are
old their lithographs do not depart from
them.
? The appearance of the Kurds at
Ears will perhaps be looked upon as a
forerunner of victory; for the Kurds
generally have their own way.
? The misery of the young man who
courts a sparkling, fashionable belle and
loses her, is only excelled by the misery
of the man who courts her and wins
her.
? When a man reaches the top of a
stairs and attempts to make one more
step higher, the sensation is as perplex?
ing as if he had attempted to kick a dog
that wasn't there.
? Bathing-corsets for ladies are the
latest Parisian invention. They are
made of a sort of lattice-work, which
permits the water to have free access
to the body, while preserving the shape.
? "Mr. Jones, don't you think women
are more sensible than men?" asked Miss
Smith. And Jones, after scratching his
favorite bump for a moment or two, said:
"Why, certainly they are?they marry
men, and men only marry women."
? Those moons of Mars are not big
enough for a cornfield for some Illinois
farmers, and one's year is only eight
hours long. Think of having to plow,
get in one's crops, cultivate, gather ana
thresh them inside of eight hours.?To?
ledo Blade.
? The postscript to the Senator Grover
investigation in Oregon is quite turning
the tables on his enemies. The man
Higby, who is in jail for subordination of
perjury in the business, now makes affi?
davit that the Republican federal offi?
cials, the United States marshal and col?
lector at Portland, hired him and others
to testify against Grover. However this
may be, there is clearly an utter failure
to convict Grover of anything that will
interfere with his senatorial title.
? The facts about Gen. Meade's sister,
whom Secretary Schurz turned out of her
clerkship in the pension bureau, are that
she was one of 60 women he found on
the rolls doing nothing but drawing their
pay?her only capacity being for copying,
where she was not needed, and that she
is not destitute nor even in cramped cir?
cumstances. Mr. Schurz'8 dismissal of
these 60 women, most of whom were es?
pecial pets of Congressmen, was the be?
ginning of his troubles with the machine
Soliticians. The President sustains the
ecretary._
The quantity of Pork and other im?
proper food consumed is enormous and
produces its inevitable results in innu?
merable types of disease, especially those
of the blood, exhibited in Pimples,
Blotches, Sores, etc., all of which, how?
ever, yield rapidly and surely to Dr.
Bull's Blood Mixture.

H. B. Stevkks:
Dear Sir?la the spring of 18691 was stricken
down with fever, which had a ions and almost
hopeless ran. The beat medical advice being in
attendance, I was taken through the fever; but
it left me terribly reduced and weak, with ex?
cruciating pains in my side, back and hipe. I
was completely prostrated with Kidney Com?
plaint, and no medicine seemed to rearli my case.
In this condition I was persuaded to try Vko
ETiJfe by a friend whom it cured ot the same
disease, and it seemed as though 1 could feel the
effect of the first dose through my whole system:
and from that moment I began to mend, ^rndii
ally growing better from day to day: mid I f?d
lowed on with the Veqetink, until itrmnpletely
restored me to health, since which time I have
been able to perform my duties a* n police

WATCHES! JEWELRY!
ROMAINE GOLD, so extensively worn In Paris, was first discovered in 1870, by the calebratod
French chemist, M?ns. D. Bo Lalnge, who manufactured it into jewelry, and for Bve years
sold it to the leading jewelers of Paris for Solid Gold,, In 1875, when his ??^?e?n* "own,
ten of the manufacturing jewelers established a stock company, withji^tal of $10,000^90 for the
purpose of manufacturing ROMAINE GOLD JEWELY AND WATCHES. With this immense
capital, and the aid of improved machinery they are enabled to ptjjduce all the latest patterns of
fewelry at less than one-tenth the cost of Solid Gold, and of a quality and color which makes It
impossible even for experts to detect it from the genuine. .... ,

THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD
NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur?
nished by_ the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh
from the bottom of the well. No Blime or filth collects on the pump or in the well No
snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,
and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth?
er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It iraprc res the
water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stovjun of
water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engim?, ever ready at your door to
extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheapor than insurance. Ita T7ork
injr erivet complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify.
It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon
which it asks your patronage. This Pnmp is represented in Anderson and adjoining
Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbert, Wilkes and Oglethorpe in Georgia,
by
ALONZO L. WELCH, Anderson, S. ??
Send in orders at once for Pumps, and they will be delivered and put in irnmedxately.
