"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. Remedy for Bite of a Mad Dog.? As the cry of mad dogs has been rais? ed, the following, which we clip from an exchange, may be worth a perusal: A Saxon forester, named Gaste! 1, now at the venerable age of eighty-two, un? willing to take to the grave with him a se? cret of such importance, has made public in the Leipsic Journal, the means he has usedfor fifty years, and wherewith he af? firms he has rescued many human beings and cat tie from the fearful death of hydro? phobia. Take immediately warm vine? gar or tepid water, wash the wound clean therewith and dry it, then pour upon the wound a few drops of muriatic acid, be? cause mineral acids destroy the poison of the saliva, by which means the evil ef? fects of the latter are neutralized. ? An art critic going into a gallery in state of- mild inebriation to criticize some pictures, sees himself in a glass, and ta? king out his note book, writes as follows: "First room, head of drunkard, no signa? ture has a great deal of character; red nose remarkably truthful. Must be a portrait from life ; think I have seen that face somewhere." Habitual poor health is a direct result of habitual poor attention to the physi? cal system. Keep the head cool, the feet warm, and the bowels regular by the proper use of Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills, and sickness cannot appioach you. Price 25 cents. I 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. Braix Workers.?Clergymen, law? yers, physicians, orators, and all classes of brain workers will find the use of Dr. Price's Floral Riches Cologne gratefully refreshing. The handkerchief wetted in it and applied to the face occasionally, will please the sense of smell, prove a stimulus to tbe circulation, inducing to vigorous action. 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) 1. Railroad coaches. 2. The Telegraph. 3.

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." ?

It is common to speak of those whom a flirt has jilted as her victims. This is a grave error. Her real victim is a man whom she accepts.

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.

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.
