**A Crapping: Mortgage."
"Don't know what a crapping mort?
gage is! To be sure you ain't never
lived in the country, then," said an hon?
est, bard-working and thrifty farmer of
small means, who lives in an eastern
county, to one of our lawyers, 3? emineu t
for his bonhomie as for his admirable
talents; "you a lawyer and don't know
what a crapping mortgage is I Well, I'll
tell you.
"I made one of them du mod things
once; the way of it was this: You see I
went down to the store at the forks of
the road in my neighborhood to buy a
few articles that was needed at home, and
when I got 'em iu the cart to go home,
^ my friend, Sharpman?ho is the mer?
chant, you know, who keep, a li ttle store
down there?just a little country store?
Sharpman, he said to me, 'What is the
ose of bothering along with litt le things
of this sort? Why don't you make a
crapping mortgage, and then you can get
anything you want, and wont have to
way for it until your crap come in, and
' shea you can pay it off with a bale of
cotton or so.'
"It sounded mighty easy like, so I
nlt-ned one of the cussed things snd start?
ed off home with my load. Well, sir,
them mortgages is curious things. I
" hadn't morn got up the red hill going
home before I commenced to think of
what I needed, and the infernal thing
made me think of things that I must
have that I never had wanted before.
*~ You see I always had money on band to
buy what me aod the old woman wanted,
and I had fought shy of debt all my life,
but all the neighbors was a trying their
hands on crapping' mortgages, and I
thought I would go iu for a little, too.
Well, I did. I kept on wanting things,
and I kept on getting things. We all
got along fine, and Sharpman sold the
old woman lots of nice things that we
never had wanted before, but that we
was bound to have after I signed the
crapping mortgage. They breed wants,
they do.
"At last the crap came in. I sent two
or three bales of cotton down to the
store to pay it off, as Sharpman said it
would do, but it didn't I then sent
down all my fodder, but that didn't do
it. I talked the matter over with the
old woman, and she got up all the ducks,
chickens and eggs, and I sent down all
the com that I had made, and that didn't
c o ft; so I just got on my horse and rode
down to the store to see about it. I
looked at what we had bought, all figured
up, you know, and there was always what
you call a balance agin me. So I just
took out.my pocket tx>ok that had had
the mortgage in it all the time, and paid
off the mortgage, and took the confound?
ed thing and went back home. Well,
when I got there I thought I'd read over
that paper that always managed to keep
a balance agin ma somehow or other, and
I done so. Well, now, what do you
think was in that crapping mortgage ? I
hope the recordin' angel ain't listening,
but I wish I mr.y be d?d if that 'ere lit?
tle crapping mortgage weren't spread all
over my land. My horses, my mules,
my stock, my farming utensils, my house?
hold and kitchen furniture, even the
dish-rag was flung into it. I always
thought that the things must hare India
rubber in 'em, they stretched so, and
they ought to be called dish-rag mort?
gages, oughtn't they ? Well, let me tell
you, never sign one. You never will get
through paying it, and when them store
fellows tell you how easy it is to get
things and pay for 'em in the fall, you
remember what I tell you about a crap?
ping mortgage."
And having finished his description of
these little engines of oppression, he
pulled out his twist of homemade tobac?
co, that looked as rich and brown as
walnut 'wood, and cut off a chew with
? his horn-handle knife, put it into his
mouth, put the knife and tobacco back
into his breeches'* pocket and walked
away. He turned round after walking a
little way, and said, reflectively: "Don't
never you sign one in the world ; if you
do, you will never get through paying it
Another Lincoln Story.?While
Judge Logan, of Springfield, 111., was
Lincoln's partner, two farmers who had
a misunderstanding respecting a hone
trade went to law. By mutual consent
the partners in law became antagonistic
in this case. On the day of the trial Mr.
Logan, having bought a new shirt open
in the back with a huge standing collar,
dressed himself in extreme haste and
put on the shirt with the bosom at the
s back, a linen coat concealing the blunder.
He dazzled the jury with his knowledge
of "horse points," and an the day was
sultry took off his coat and summed up
in his shirt sleeves. Lincoln, sitting be
v hind him, took in the situation, and,
when his turn came, remarked to the
jury: "Gentlemen, Mr. Logan has been
trying for over an hour to make you be?
lieve that he knows more about a horse
than these honest old farmers who are
witnesses; he has quoted largely from
his 'horse doctor,' and now, gentlemen, I
submit to you (here he lifted Logan out
of his chair and turned him with his
back to the jury and the crowd, at the
same time flipping up the enormous
standing collar,) what dependence can
ou place in his horse knowledge when
e has not sense enough to put on his
shirt ? The roars of laughter that greet?
ed this exhibition, and the verdict that
Lincoln got soon after, gave Logan a
permanent prejudice against "bosom
shirts."?Decatur Sun.

THE CADETS IN THE SADDLE.
How the Boys at West Point aro Taught
to Bide.
A letter to the New York Times from
West Point, dated June 10, says: The
drill for to-day was "school of the sol?
dier, mounted," which took place in the
great riding hall. As the title indicates
the drill is an exhibition of individual
skill in horsemanship. It is said to be
a great favorite with the boys, but the
severity of training they have to undergo
before attaining the degree of skill
deemed necessary for an officer is some?
thing they never forget. The record of
broken arms, strained wrists, dislocated
shoulders, fractured legs, and days spent
in the hospital by reason of limbs rubbed
raw, attests the fact that there is no
child's play in the teaching of West
Point. They don't do things here for
fun, and little sympathy is wasted ou the
unfortunate youth who in his early ef?
forts in the saddle comes to grief with a
broken bone. He is more likely to get
reprimanded for his awkwardness than
be condoled with. There was a great
crowd present at the hall when the drill
began, too large, indeed, to find places in
the galleries of the place; so when these
were full of ladies, the more agile among
the male spectators climbed upon win?
dow sills and the like places, while other
crowds besieged each of the four large
doors of the building. This is the one oc?
casion on which the observer might be
justified in supposing that the work done
was a good deal for show, because here
it is that the excited spectators applaud
every boy who goes through well. Let
him take every head, and he is certain
of a hearty "round of applraise. The
comments of the spectators a.e often
very amusing. When boys commenced
to use their revolvers some one in the
gallery anxiously inquired if they had
"real bullets" in tbem, and seemed ra?
ther relieved when assured that they did
not, and,there was consequently no danger
of any stray lead finding its way upward.
When the order was given to dis?
mount and mount at speed the area of the
hall was instantly a scene of galloping
horses, riders jumping off, others jumping
on?some down in the tan bark; others
clinging to the mane and bridle, despe?
rately struggling to get astride; horses
rearing and plunging, and generally a
remarkably lively time for all; then the
women began to utter little screams,
which increased to a general shout when
one of the boys making a spring for the
horse's back (there were no saddles) went
clear over it and ploughed up the bark
in the middle of a rush of galloping
beasts, to the imminent danger of his
brains. "Why, thisjis quite dangerous!"
exclaimed an individual in the gallery,
indignant at the idea of the boys being
made to ran such risks. The good gen?
tleman seemed to suppose that the ser?
vices were merely for show. It is need?
less to say that the boys did well; they
always do; but, while none fall below
a certain level, there are vast differences
between them above that level. Some
of the boys take wonderfully well to the
work, an? feel as much at home cutting
and slashing about on a bare-backed
horse as in a rocking-chair, while to oth?
ers it never becomes easy. They do the
work, but it is hard. The actual move?
ments of the drill with sabre and pistol
are few. The soldier is started from the
company to make the circuit of the hall.
Putting his horse to a gallop, he begins
by firing at a bead on a post, returns
pistol to the holster, draws his sabre
and, at full speed, makes a thrust at an?
other head on a post, then at one lying
on the ground, then jumps a hurdle, and
in jumping, slashes a head from a post
beside it, or thrusts at a suspending ring
on a level with his own head; and lastly,
makes a right thrust at another head on
a post. To go through this performance
on a horse without a saddle, and a big
pair of spurs on one's heels, is not an ea?
sy task, and if any one thinks it is he had
better try it in the nearest riding school.
The different cuts ore, of course, as against
infantry or cavalry.?New York Times.
A Curious Bit of Atlanta History.
A special dispatch to the Augusta
Evening News, dated Atlanta, Ga., June
18, says: Considerable excitement pre?
vails here over the finding of bones of a
human being this morning by workmen
engaged in excavating for the cellar of
Governor Brown's building, in front of
the passenger depot. This is the old
city park, and it is' a mystery how they
came there. They were near the edge
of the sidewalk and not deep in the
ground."
And since the publication of this tele?
gram, our old friend and lellow citi?
zen, Mr. Kobert E. Kenney, has been
to see us and unraveled this mystery.
Mr. Kenney, it will be remembered,
fought through the Mexican war, as a
member of the Edgefield Company, com?
manded by Capt. P. S. Brooks. The
Palmetto Regiment, which left South
Carolina in the spring of 1847, went as
far as Atlanta on the railroad, and
marched thence to Opelika, Ala. But
of course there was no Atlanta then.
On the contrary, the site was a spot of
wild woods, where the train stopped for
wood and water. But still Mr. Kenney
knows it to be the precise site of the
Gate City. The regiment encamped
here a night; and during that night,
private Reuben Gerald, of Co. D. (our
Edgefield company) died. In the morn?
ing, before the regiment moved, his body
was buried in the very spot where the
bones have been so recently discovered.
Mr. Kenney went to Atlanta in 1866 or
1867, and then revisited the spot, in a
few steps of the hotel at which he stop
Eed, and asked several citizens if any
ody or bones had ever been disinterred.
He found no one who had ever heard
of any such thing. Col. Cary W.
Styles, so prominent in Georgia politics
and journalism, was a corporal in Com?
pany D., and Mr. Kenney has the im?
pression that he, Corporal Styles, com?
manded the squad that buried Reuben
Gerald. The latter was not an Edge
field man, but a North Carolinian, who
was wandering about our parts?a hand?
some and a brave fellow. Mr. Kenney,
who is now in his sixty-third year, is a
very intelligent and well-informed man,
ana bos a very decided taste for antiqua?
rian matters.?Edgefield Advertiser.
Big Grape Vines.?California has
probably 20 vines, each of which pro?
duces more than 500 lbs. of grapes as an
average crop. Among these are vines at
Coloma ana Blakes, and near Montecito
and Stockton?representing the Sirerra
Nevada, coast the mountains north San
Francisco, the San Joachim Valley, the
southern coast, the level of the sea, and
an elevation of 3000 feet above it. The
Stockton vine, a mile southeast of the
town, in the yard of Mr. Phelps' house,
is a foot in diameter, and has this year
produced 5000 lbs. (2* tons), according
to the Independent. We have heard noth?
ing lately of the yield of the Montecito
and Colomo big vines. We saw the lat?
ter in 1867 when young, and it then bore
1500 bunches of grapes. The Montecito
vine grew from the cutting of the old big
vine at the same place, set out in 1795
and cut down in 1875, when 80 years old.
It had a diameter of 15 inches, covered
an arbor 114 feet long by 68 wide, and
averaged three tons as its annual yield.
The big vines of Blakes separates, ?t the
surface of the ground, into two stems,
each six inches in diameter. The vine
at Coloma is an Isabella; the other three
are of the Mission variety.

A FOURTH OF JULY ORATION.
Advance Report of the Address Delivered
at Springfield by ex-Gov. D. H. Chamber?
lain, of South Carolina.
Fellow-Citizexs : I have been asked,
as a Southerner, to address you of the
North on this anniversary day of the
birth of our common Union. As a
Southerner, I deeply feel the significance
of the request. Could our representative
men be brought more frequently into
contact with the masses of your people,
could we oftener meet, as to-day, to ex?
change congratulations on the perma?
nency of the glorious fabric which our
fathers builded, and to join in the ex?
pression of sentiments appropriate to this
occasion, I know that much of the mis
understandingjealousy and suspicious ha?
tred that now alienate tbe sectons would
disappear like the sulphurous smoke of
?onder cannon that lately boomed,
herefore, I come willingly and frankly,
in the true spirit of the Fourth of July,
bringing to Massachusetts the frieudly and
sisterly greeting of my own beloved
South Carolina.
For South Carolina, the State of my
adoption and choice, is also the State of
my love. Born and bred elsewhere, with
family ties and domestic associations else?
where, I, nevertheless, yielded up to her
my love aud loyalty when I entered her
palmetto-fringed borders in the dark
days of reconstruction. I went there
without money, without political influ?
ence, without previous acquaintance with
the people among whom I had cast my
lot, but fortified with a strong moral pur?
pose, and animated by a sacred missiona?
ry spirit, I stood by South Carolina
through all the vicissitudes of the expe?
riment of universal suffrage?an experi?
ment fraught with much personal dan
ger.'but of transcendently great impor?
tance to civilization. I stood by South
Carolina while her citizens grew
poorer aud poorer, and only left her
when unavoidable circumstances com?
pelled the painful separation of our
ways. It is true that my residence is no
longer in South Carolina; true that my
professional and personal interests now
centre elsewhere, yet my heart is still
there, and an indictment for felony com?
mitted within her borders still binds me
to her sunlit groves and smiling cities
with a bond of exceeding strength.
Tnerefore, as a representatives South
Carolinian, I thank you, men of Massa?
chusetts, for the compliment which you
have paid to my cherished State. An
exile thanks you from the bottom of his
loyal heart. Whatever may have been
my political course during the happy and
eventful years spent at Columbia, I feel
that I at^Ieast brought away the affec?
tionate solicitude of my neighbors. I
feel that they remember me, and will
continue to remember mo. I know that
they are anxious to get me back. I
know that they recall rny disinterested
acts as Attorney General, and afterwards
as reform Governor, with emotions of the
liveliest character. They never can and
never will forget the days when I, sur?
rounded by men like Moses and Parker
and Neagle, and Cardozo and Honest
John Patterson, but nominating them all
by the force of intellect and purity of
motive, exercised a permanent influence
upon the destinies of the beloved State.
They still recall my official utterance,
lofty, ringing and patriotic, as when I
! wrote,"There is an indefinite verge for
expansion of power before us. It is pro?
posed to buy $350,000 worth of Green?
ville and Columbia stock. This, with
the $433,000 of stock held by the State,
will give complete control to us. We
shall have in Greenville and Columbia
168 miles, in Laurens 31, aud in Spar
tanburg and Union 70 miles?in all 269
miles?equipped and running. Put a
first mortgage of $20,000 a mile on this,
sell the bonds at 85 or 90, and the bal?
ance, after paying all outlays for costs
and repairs, is immense?over $2,000,
000. There is a mint of money in this?
or lama fool!'
Nor can it ever bo forgotten that at
the darkest hour of South Carolina's
darkest day, when a burden of debt was
crushing the people of South Carolina td
the earth and grinding their estates
and homesteads into tbe dust, when
the black cloud of a State debt of
twenty-six millions filled the whole
sky and darkened the future, when
able financiers like Parker and Moses
and Cardozo were in despair, when the
people were on the point of revolution,
1, clear-headed and self-possessed, the
ruling spirit of the storm, flooded Wall
street with fraudulent paper, and calmly
wrote to Kimpton in my letter of Sep?
tember 3, 1870 the memorable words:
"Do the commissions foot up pretty well?
Ehf"
Fellow-citizens of Massachusetts, do
you wonder that the people of South Car?
olina are anxious to get nie back ? But it
cannot be. An inexorable fate and a
very considerable interest in my own
Eersonal liberty keep n.e far away from
er beloved borders. I must remain an
exile, consoling myself as best I can with
[ the mitigating reflection that John Pat?
terson was wrong?there is no more good
stealing in South Carolina.?New York
Sun._
A Boy'6 Practical Joke.?A youth
living on Bragg street rolled an apple
barrc. to the curbstone the other after?
noon, filled it with cobblestones, headed
it up, and marked the barrel "Apples?
handle carefully." The youth retired to
await further developments, and they
soon came. A saw dust wagon came
along, and the driver jumped down and
took a long look at the barrel. He probab
reasoned that it had been delivered by a
grocer, and he doubtless wondered why
it had not been rolled into the cellar.
Dusk was coming on, and tbe man drove
off. In a quarter of an hour he returned.
"Apples" were there vet, aud he drove
up close to the barrel. No one was in
sight, and he made a dash for the prize.
He probably expected a rather heavy
lift, but when he felt the weight of those
cobblestones bis surprise must have been
great. He gave one awful lurch, lifted
the barrel about an inch, and as his fin?
gers raked over the hoops he groaned in
agony and leaped into his wajon as if a
dog had been reaching for his coat-tail.
At various times during the night vehi?
cles were heard baiting and driving sud?
denly away, but when day broke the
"Apples" were still there, though only
two hoops were left on the barrel.?From
the Detroit Free Press.
? A friend of the President is credi?
ted with ths statement that he "saves
over forty thousand dollars a year of his
salary." It musi be considerably more
than that. From all accounts of the
style of living at the White House it is
not probable that the whole cost of the
family there is five thousand a year.
There are no state dinners worth men?
tioning, no wines, nothing expensive ex?
cept what the government pays for."
LeDuc's cabbage and flower gardens sup?
ply the vegetables and ornaments for the
table; the servants are nearly all paid by
Congress, and the fuel and gas are in the
appropriation bills ; there are no "small
vices" in the household ; no diplomatic
or other social entertainments?nothing,
in fact, that can make a material hole in
the salary. There is apparently nothing
to hinder Mr. Hayes from taking home
with him, in 1881, nearly the whole of
his four years' pay.?Chicago Times.
? Gen. G W. C. Lee, upon whom the
mantle of his father Gen. Robert E. Lee,
as President of Washington and Lee
University fell, has sent in his resigna?
tion as President of the University, and
it probably will be accepted.
? A man will sit on a picket fence all
the afternoon to see a base-ball game, but
put him in a church pew for three-quar?
ters of an hour and he will feel uncom?
fortable.
Children and Money.
Most persons seem to believe that chil?
dren, even after they have readied an
age of intelligence and discrimination,
should not be trusted with money; that
those who are ao trusted are almost iuva
riablv ruined. More harm is done, in
our judgment, by an exactly contrary
course. If children,?at least when they
are fairly out of leading strings,?are
not allowed to have small amounts of
money, how can they possibly learn its
proper use? Wise spending is the re?
sult of experience, instead of theory,
even with grown persons. How then
should the merest youngster learn to use
sixpences and shillings steadily withheld
from them?
Human nature is always benefitted by
a sense of responsibility and children arc
by no means an exception. So long as |
they are deprived of money, they can
have no clear idea of its value, and later |
in life, when they begin to get some they
very naturally waste it in order to make
up for their early deprivation. A boy
should be allowed to buy his own tops,
marbles aud skates instead of having them
bought for him. In this way he will
enjoy them more, and have a more thor?
ough appreciation of them. If he makes j
a mistake, chooses a bad top or imper?
fect marbles, or poor skates, do not re
Elace them with such as he would like,
ut let him use those of his own selec?
tion till he ha3 the money to buy others.
Next time he will know what not to buy,
will be more careful in deciding, and
will have gained a desirable feeling of
self-dependence. It is, perhaps, a little
hard for tender parents to compel chil?
dren to abide their owu mistakes. The
rule seems harsh; but the world is so
infinitely harsher a school than any home
can be, that, for ultimate good, present |
pain may be endured.
Children accustomed to money in mod?
eration have little, if any temptation, to
get it by improper or dishonest means.
It then ceases to bear the attraction of j
forbidden fruit, or to appear to their ar?
dent fancy as if all happiness were inclu?
ded in its power of purchase. Are not
the boys who pilfer, or carry from the
household anything they can turn into
cash, frequently those who have been im?
pelled to it by a scant allowance of pocket
money from parents to whom it would
have been a trifle? With legitimate in?
dulgence they very soon learn that a
shilling is worth but a shilling, and that
a dollar is only a dollar; that, badly
used, one or the other will bring discom?
fort as well as pleasure; and this lesson
cannot fail to be of permanent benefit
to them. The boy who has learned to use
sixpences judiciously while he is ten or
twelve, will be pretty apt to understand
the proper value of dollars before he is
out of his teens.
A Remarkable Prophecy.
The following, which is known as
"Mother Shipton's Prophecy," was first
published in 1488, and republisbcd in
1C41. It will be noticed that all the
events predicted in it, except that men?
tioned in the last two lines?which is
still in the future?have already come to
pass. It is truly wonderful, to say the
least:?
Cnrriages without horses shall go,
And accident fill the world with woe. (1)
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye. (2)
Waters shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet it shall all be true. (3)
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree. (4)
Through hills ands mountains men shall
ride,
No horse or ass be at his side. (5)
Under water men shall walk ;
8hall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. (6)
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green. (7)
Iron in the water shall float,
As easy as a wooden boat. (8)
Gold shall be found, and found
In a land that's not now known. (9)
Fire and water shall wonders do. (10)
England shall at last admit a Jew. (11)
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one. (12)

Slavery in Africa.?The idea that
slavery in Africa disappeared with the ab?
olition of the foreign slave trade, an idea
which seems to be pr^alent both in
Europe and America, is nevertheless
a mistaken one. Slavery not ouly exists,
but its evils are very much aggravated
by the fact for want of r>. foreign market
the supply is in excess of the demand.
The value of the slave has depreciated
until the preservatiou of his life and
health has become a matter of no conse?
quence to his owner. The increased and
growing export trade of Africa is the
product of slave labor. The slave not so
well fed or cared for is raising ground?
nuts in some distant part of his own
country, as far away from his home and
his kin as though he were cultivating
sugar on a Cuban plantation. It is safe
to say that money and sympathy expen?
ded upon the negro slave has in no wise
ameliorated his condition. On the con?
trary, the .trade that was made contra?
band and abolisbsd at sea has added to
its cruelties the thousand times greater
evils of transportation overland through
the jungles and marshes, where hun?
dreds perish by the wayside from famine
and exposure.
? Mr. Curran, riding over one day by
the country seat of a Judge whom he
knew, became interested in a group of
lovely children. He stopped to inquire
to whom all those fine children belonged,
aud was told by the nurse that they were
the children of Judge B-.
"Pray, my good woman, how many has
he?"
"There are twelve playing about the
yard and this one in my arm is the thir?
teenth."
"Then," said Curran, "the Judge has
a full jury and may proceed to trial,
whenever he chooses; and the youngest
one will make an excellent crier."

This is a grave error. Her real victim is

REMARKABLE CURE OP SCROFULA; ic.
Case of Col. J, C. Branson.
Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871.
Gknt.s?For sixteen years I hato been a great
sufferer from Scrofula In its most distressing forms.
I have been confined to my room and bra for fif?
teen years with scrofulous ulcerations. The most
approved remedies for such cases had been used,
and the most eminent physicians consulted, with?
out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis?
tressed, desponding, I was advised by Dr. Aycr, of
Floyd County, Ga., to commenco tho use of your
Compound Extract Stillingia. Language is as in?
sufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the
uso ol the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate
idea of the intensity of my si:tiering before using
your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all
other remedies and continued the use of your Ex?
tract of Stillingia, until I can sav truly, "I am
cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to
obstruct tho active pursuitof my profession. More
than eight months have elapsed since this re?
markable cure, without any return of tho disease.
For the truth of the above statement, I refer to
any gentleman in Bartow County, Ca., and to the
members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who arc
acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude, your obedient servant,
J. C. BRANSON, Att'y at Law.
A MIRACLE.
West Point, Ga., Sspt. in, 1870.
Gents?My daughter was taken on the 25th day
of June, 18G3, with what was supposed to be Acute
Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no
success. In March, following, pieces of bone he
can to work out of the right arm, and continued
to appear till all the bnno from the elbow to tho
shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone
came out of the right foot and leg. The case was
thon pronounced ono of White Swelling. After
having been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, 1 was Induced to
try Dr. Pcmberton's Compound Extract of Stillin?
gia, and was so well satisfied with its ctrects that I
have continued the use of it until tho present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about six
years before she sat up or even turned over with?
out help. She now sits up ail day, aud sews most
of her time?has walked across the room. Her
general heallh is now good, r.nd I believe she will,
as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute
her recovery, with the blessing of (iod, to the use
of ynur invaluable medicine.
With gratitude, I am yours truly,
