A Talk About Needles. "Mamma, what do they make needles $ of ?" asked Dorothea, as ehe looked up from her sewing. She was a bright-eyed little girl of seven years, of an inquiring turn of mind and industrious in her habits. "Of wire, Dorothea/' replied her mother. ? V "Steel.wire?" "Yes." "It must be very fine?" "It i8JM> thin that 15,000 ordinary needles can be. made out of one pound of the wire." "Do they make one needle at a time ?" "No, dear; that would be a very slow process, and would make them rather expensive. One hundred -vires eight' : feet long are placed in a bundle and cut into proper sices by a powerful pair of shears; it is so arranged that one man can easily cnt 1,000,000 needles in a day of twelve hours." Dorothea's eyes widened. "How ate. they polished ?" she asked, hardly know whether I can explain the operation to yon/'replied her mother. . -JIThejaeedles are tied up in bundles, and are placed in what is called the scouring machine. They are kept in motion from eight to ten hours,.which gives them a silvery appearance." "That seems simple enough;" observed Dorothea. "I didn't say they j came .put of* the. machine polished," resum ed her mother. "The roles are then covered with putty-1 powder and oil/Wrapped in canvas, and'] placed in a similar machine'called the polishing-machine. A third process is neceesary.'"; The canvas is removed and the needles are agitate&in a vessel filled' with soft: soap and '"Water!" i "In^a^erw>"remove the oil?" Dorothea 1 asked. "Yes, dear. -Theyare. finally dried in ash-wood -sawdust, after which they are tempered." I " Which means made brittle, don't it, mamma?" I "Just so. It is done by making them j hotj planging' them into oil,; ana afte'K "ward Burning off thisOil." I Dorothea was very much interested.] She closely examined the needle which 1 ehe had iu her hand. I .. ^Maronaa, ^o they drill the eyes, aojcl sharpen the needles bef?re,?hey temper] them?" she asked. "Yes, Dorothea. I was getting along too fast in my description. A clever I workman will drill aod polish the holes [ of seventy thousand needles a week." V ] "": "That is a large number, mamma.. Are I they sharpened on a grindstone ?" | ? "Yes." "One nee 'Je at a time?" ?> . . f "Ob, no. An expert grinder will hold twenty-fire )f the wires at once against the stone, presenting all their points by I a dexterous movement of the thumb." J Dorothea pushed her inquiries. j "Where are needles principally, made, [ mamma?" "In Bedditch, a small town near Birm ? inghain, in England. It is the great center of the needle trade, and it may be i said that it has supplied the whole world for almost two hundred yeare." Nimety J millions of needles are turned out ever? ?-week." - " It was a larger number than Dorothea's : mind, could grasp. ! "Did they use needles in old times ?" she asked. "They are mentioned by some very old writers. 'The beautiful Babylonian I ' embroideries, which were often made out of gold, thread, were wrought with nee-j dies..- The body of the wife of the Emperor I Honarius, whose grave was discovered at Rome in 1544, was wrapped up .in an { embroidered dress, from which thirty- } six 'pounds of gold were obtained. The needles used by the ancient Egyptians were made of bronze. They had no eyes in them, owing to the difficulty of pierc ing such minute holes in the metal." Dorothea: ,'put away her .patches, a thoughtful look filling her face. "Mamma," she said, "they had needles I in the Bible times. Needles that had eyes in them too 1" ! "Why do you think so, Dorothea ?" "Because it says, in the eighteenth .chapter "of ;Luke, twenty-fifth verse, that it is easier for a camel to go through a! needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God." "That, Dorothea, is now supposed to refer to the name 'needle's eye/ which was given to the narrow side entrances in the fortified places in the East. In India 'an elephant going through a nar? row door/ or 'through the eye of a needle/ is a proverbial phrase. Others say that I in the dialect of Galilee the word for camel means also the cable of a vessel. I It is not at ail probable that our Saviour meant (he eye of a sewing needle."?! Young FbWt Frieitd. j Wanted His Leg Straightened. "It was after the battle of West Point, and there was a Frenchman in our regi? ment I forgot his name, hot he was in Company A. Well, he had his leg broken by a hall?a compound fraction above the knee?and it had to be taken off at the thigh. He stood it well, and did uot want to have chloroform, but they made 8 ?'him:-- Well; this leg?it was his left one ?being taken off so high up, you see, there was a good deal of it, and the boys did not want to throw it into a hole,-so they looked about for something to bury it in. At last they found a cracker -box; but to get it in they had to double it up, bend the knee sharply and turn the foot back. Which they did, and then buried it. "After the Frenchman came round he was uneasy. There was not much pain, he said, but be wished to goodness he could ; straighten his''leg out ; 'his left, . hh?ffij&l' ail Ttf&rf; up!'' 'But you haven't got a'left leg/'we told him. 'No, TIEnow that/Tie replied,'but m or bleu ! it feels all. kinked up just tbe same.' Well, I did not know anything about the burying of his leg, and when he said this to me I thought it was just the ordi? nary pain after the operation, though I hod never heard any or e else describe the pain so, and I believed it would pass off. But it did not. He got more and more uneasy, and kept declaring his left leg was cramped, and if he could only straighten it out it would.- be all rigjii. He went on in ;this way so "badly that at length one of the boys who had buried the leg got scared, and without, telling him, he went dag up the leg, straightened it out, and reburied it without the box. "Well, gentlemen, do you know that before that boy bad got back the French? man was as easy as a lamb? 'Ab, but morbleu! that is better !' he cried out suddenly. 'Yes, that's better, that's better'?and for ten or fifteen minutes he went on just as if .he really had been relieved by having his leg straightened out. He never said another word about being cramped, but declared his leg was perfectly easy now. It wasn't till, maybe, a week afterward that we told him what had been done, and then all be'said was: 'Ah 1 but I knew my leg was kinked up all the time.' "There, gentlemen, you may try to explain that how you like; you may believe it or not as you like; bat all I can say is I saw it, and there were plenty of others who knew about it at the time, too." ? The secret of living is to say every? thing that can be said on tbe subject. <? An insurance man says tbe reason that Nero fiddled while Borne was burn? ing was that business was probaoly dull in Borne and Nero was heavily insured. ? Hon. John M. Forbes of Boston, who four years ago gave 910.000 to tbe Garfield campaign, has come out for Cleveland and will make no investments money wise or otherwise in James G. Shine. A Yery Important Movement, .,. ? Franz Bussebaum, of Hamburg, Ger? many, was iu the city yesterday, accom? panied by Prof. Fingerling, of Adger College, Walhalla. Mr. Bussebaum, who speaks no English as yet, came to this country recently j representing an association of wealthy Germaus, of which he is a member, formed to purchase lands in this section. On Tuesday he completed the purchase of a tract of 134,000 acres of land in the upper portions of Bickens and Oconee counties, running from the Greenville line and embracing the corner of the State bounded by'North Carolina and Georgia. ' -:'? ? A considerable portion of this laud is settled and cultivated by parties .who have obtained possession from time to time, but Mr. Bussebaum has purchased from the heirs of the holders of the origi? nal grant from the State, who are repre? sented by the heirs of the late Col. W. Brown, of Charleston. Mr. Bussebaum does not, however, propose to harrass those occupying the land, and will give them good titles on terms which will doubtless be mutually satisfactory. He proposes to bring over families of-Gen mans to settle onithe unoccupied portion' of the huge trace he has purchased. His design is to -have the land for the occu? pation of the new settlers prepared for ; them by opening and breaking it up and Jilantingit ingrain, potatoes, grasses and ruits, for stock and grain frrmB, that ; being the system of cultivation with j which they are familiar. Cotton will I probably not be grown at. all?certainly ' not for some time. . - ?"' The immigrants will he brought over at first in small parties' of. "fifteen or twenty at a time, but Mr^3uB8ebaum is confident that he will settle from 2,000 to 3,000: persons on the 'tract ' within the next few years. He is a practical busi? ness man and has the c&pitel behind him ; to execute his scheme. V^IIe . has gone over' ?U the ground and;"c^n^sidered all conditions carefully, and:knows'exactly what be'is doing, r: I :.AZ He'^was.introduced to- Juhn.-Ferguson, Director of the ColumbiaI and Greenville Bailroad, who stated that the managers -of t he ?

The immigrants will also be brought here, and each company of them will remain here until the lands designed for them are ready for their .occupancy, (the purpose being to make them comfort able aha to show them that they will be in easy reach of a city of some size. : Mr. Bussebaum was taken to Go wer & Reil ly's and shown wh at this section can produce in the way of fruits. He exhib? ited much pleasure and interest iu ex* amining the magnificent specimens pre? pared for the Exhibition on the 29th. He has also been taken by Mr. Hahn to see the Carpen, Garreaux, and Marshall vineyards and such other demonstrations of what our soil will produce as would be likely to interest him, and seemed to be thoroughly impressed with the capabili? ties and advantages of this section.- He expressed much pleasure in the business? like, wide awake aspect of Greenville.? Greenville News, 25th inst. Buy a Home. Young man, don't spend your money foolishly with no thought for the future. Go to the country and save your money for a home of your own. Purchase a piece of land and own it. Buy it with the determination to keep it as long as you live and leave it to your heirs. If you have no money except what you earn yourself, then scrupulously save and lay aside a part of your, income un? til you have enough to pay for a piece of land. To be the owner of a homestead will have a beneficial effect upon your character. It?will increase,your self respect, yon* confidence; in yourself. You will feel that you have a substantial position and something at stake in the community. The habit of saving which you will nave formed in saving money to purchase a piece of land, will in itself be valuable to you. It will aid you freatly in acquiring other property, and ecoming independent. The tendency of this is to make yourself reliant, more ambitious, more industrious, more careful, and a better citizen. The ownership of a home will add greatly to your happi? ness. The feeling which it engenders is a source of constant satisfaction. There is one spot of earth which you improve and beautify. With that spot your thoughts and affections become identified. You learn to love it. It is like au un? changing friend. It becomes an unfail? ing source of enjoyment. ? The novel "Two Kisses" is said to be having a great run. We know of a man in this town who took "Two Kisses" and is having a great run. 'The woman's -husband is after him. ? "Yes," sighed Amelia, "before mar-., riage Georgo professed to be willing to die for me, and now be won't even get: his life insured in my favor," and the poor girl burst into a fashionable flood of tears. : ? With honest men the obligation to pay a just debt does not become lighter because of long-standing. With a diff? erent class of men the longer a debt re? mains unpaid the lighter the sense of obligation to pay becomes; and so, after a longer or shorter time, such men lose all senae of obligation to pay and get in* salted if reminded of the unpaid debt. These can find money to buy whiskey, go to the circus and show-house, go on railway excursions or pleasure trips, but have none to pay even a part of what they owe. Honesty is the twin jewel of consistency. fWf'S PILLS TORPID BOWELS, DISORDERED LIVER, :?nd MALARIA. From these, sources arise three-fourths of the diseases of the human race.

"TruBt men and they will burst you," says an ordinary every-day business man. ? He was a young lawyer, and was delivering his maiden speech. Like ihost.younglawyers he was very florid, rhetorical, scattering and weary. For ?fonr weary hours'he talked at the Court arifl the jury, until everhody felt like -lynching him. When he got through, his opponent, a grizzled old professional, arose, looked sweetly at the judge, and said: "Your Honor, I will follow the example of my young friend who has .just finished, and submit the case with? out argument." Then he sat down, and the silence was large and oppressive. Nobody's Business. A traveler just from the South reports the following: On one of the Southern railroads there is a station called "Saw? yer." Lately a newly married couple boarded the train, and were very loving indeed. The brakeman noticed the gushing groom kiss the bride about two hundred times, but maintained a serene quiet. Finally the station in question was reached, and just after the whistle sounded the groom gave the bride a rousing smack on the lip, and the brake man opened the door and shouted: "Sawyer! Sawyer!" "What's that?" responded the groom, looking over bis shoulder at the brake man. "Sawyer! Sawyer!" "Well I don't ca-e if you did, she'? my wife."?Merchant Traveler. PHOTOGRAPHS!

All kinds of PULLEYS AND SHAFTING and MOST IMPROVED CANE MILLS and EVAPORATORS furnished to order. Tan Winkle King Cotton Press Has long been before the public, and is too well known to need any further description. Its chief points of merits are: It takes very little room, is easily handled, and takes so little power; can be used on all kinds of powers?horse, water or stcaru. Ginning and packing can all go on at the same time, without interfering with the Gin. A two inch belt will pack a 500 lb. bale of cotton. It saves its cost the first season in labor. Read the following Testimonial: Anderson, S. C?Mr. John E. Peoples?Sir: The Steam Power Van Winkle Cotton Press bought from you last Fall has given entire satisfaction. I packed bales of cotton weighing 6G0 to 725 lbs. in live minutes with all ease, using a 4-inch belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not seem any more strain on the Press than with a 450 lb. hale. For dura? bility, strength, lightness of power, small quantity of steam required, economy of space, I deem it the King of all Cotton Presses; especially so as the low i price at which it can be bought for puts it within reach of every man running a steam Gin. In fact I would not be without it for twice its cost. I would advise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Power Cotton Presses, as you will save its cost in labor in one year. M. A. COBB.

It never breaks the roll, and therefore does away with the expense of the revolving head, as the secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking the roll is in the proper shape of the roll-box.

Feb 14,1883 31 Oit Bf flu Ms of Deal The gentleman who outlines his case below is Ja man considerably advanced in life, and Is noted for his sterling Integrity. Iiis Postoffice is Yatea ville, Upson County, Ga. The following la Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1ss2 I was attacked with a Tery bad cough, which continued to grow worse untiL?^ fall, when I got so weak that I could not rAVa about. I tried a great many kiuds of mediriiWHj but continued to grow worse. I was notified that . I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re? storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got abottle aud I commenced taking it right away. After tak? ing two or three doses, 1 began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am r.ow in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lun^ Remedy ever made in my opin? ion. Dr. II. promised mo that he would write to the manfacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. The attending physician told me that fie thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain tho most delicate nourishment on her stom* ach. I then agreed with Dr. 8ullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They p'tide a final examination of the patient and pronounced the cose hopcl?ss. Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a lost lesort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found .that she could retain it on her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition I continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, some of them grown."

C. .March 13, 1884-35-eow SPRING Is the season in which bad or poisoned blood is most apt to show itself. Nature, at this juncture, needs something to assist it in throwing off the impurities which have collected by the sluggish circulation of blood during ..the cold winter months.** Swift's Specific is nature's great helper, as it is a purelv vegetable alterative and tonic. Kev. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga., writes! "We have been using Swift's Specific at the orphans' home as a remedy for blood corn Elainta, and as a general health tonic, and aye had remarkable results from its use on the children and employees of the insti? tution. It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the system is less liable to disease. It has cured some of our children of Scrofula." W. H. Gilbert, druggist, Albany, Ga., writes: "We are selling Targe quantities ot Swift's Specific for a Spring alterative and^^ general health tonic, and with the best re?ft suits. It is now largely used as a preven?^ tive and cure for Malaria. There are mauy remarkable evidences of its merit in this section." The Great Dbug House of Chicaoo.? We do not hesitate to say that for a year past we have sold more of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) than all other Blood Purifiers combined, and with most astonishing re? sults.
