BILL ARP. He is Tlalted by "Cousin John" Thrasher? .- j A Snake Story. ' J&mto Constitutum. Cousin John Thrasher came to see us the other day and made us proud. For it is no small compliment for a man like bim to ride five miles on a dirt road in *hot weather to do us honor and show his regard. He dident stop long, for he is always in a hurry, and so just before leav? ing he said be wanted to go down to the spring and dip up a drink of pure water. I went down with him and kept a little 'ahead.' I stept down off the log that was close by the spring, and Uncle John stept down just behind me, and he stept high and he stept far, and hollered "snake." .Sure enough I had stept over the var? mint?a big, rusty moccasin?and he made for a hole in the rocks and we lost him. Cousin John dident get over it for several minutes, and had to set down and blow, for he is awfully afraid of snakes. It is mighty hard on my wife, for snakes -arw her everlasting horror. If we kill J one on the premises she always declares there is another close by, and if we kill two she says there must be a dsn of them, and so there is no way to pacify and make her calm and serene. Carl is getting to be a right smart chunk, of a boy now, and hankers after a gun, and so the other day I told him we would go hunting snakes. I gave him the small ?gufi!J&d"T"look the big one, and we meandered slowly along* the branch, and ?sure enough he spied that Bame big moc asin down below the spring sunning him? self on a plank, and I got nim a rest and cocked hisgun, and he took a'trembling aimjjand .fired and? killed the beast, and Ye was the proudest boy I think lever saw. We killed four on that excursion, and now he don't want to do anything but hunt snakes, and swells up and struts round with his new importance. We killed a rattlesnake's pilot-over in the field and ten young ones came crawling out of her mouth. It is snake time now. This hot, dry. dusty weather makes them travel around in search of food, and you can ?ee their wormy, squirmy tracks across- the road most every day. The' books say that snakes that lay eggs are non-venemous, and those that give birth to their young are venemous and none but the latter ever allow their young to run in and run out of them. But they are all the. same to me, and I let none escape if I can help .it. Our. mortal antipathy to snakes is to my mind one of the strongest proofs of scripture, and it is part of my religion to "bruise his head" whenever I have a chance. My wife, Mrs. Arp, loves to go down to the spring house and see after the milk and superintend the churning, and she is proud of the rich cream, and prouder of the butter, and I don't want any of these insidious, perambulated reptiles to inter? fere with her perfect serenity. I love the buttermilk, the pure, cold buttermilk that she prepares, for I know it is nice. She called me down to the spring house yesterday to show me bow much nice yellow butter she had made at a double churning. Of course I complimented her with gushing and uxorious language, and when she told me to go to the house and look on the pantry shelf and bring her the .howl of salt, wherewith to season the , butter.I went with alacrity and.brought it, and I watched her as she sprinkled it. all over and stirred it in with the paddle, and in course of time she concluded to taste it and see if it was salty enough, and I never will forget the lost and la? mented look she gave me as she exclaim? ed, "William, you brought me sugar." She sat down on a chair and looked away off. "I thought it was salt," said I, MI found it just where you told me." "Of course you did," she said. "I'm not blaming you at all; I forgot there was a bowl of sugar there, and if I bad had on my specks I could have told the differ? ence. Oh my 1 what a pity it is to be old and nearly blind. It was a beautiful lot of butter and now it is all spoilt." "My dear," Baid J, "Won't it do for cake, and yon said you was going to make a bread pudding. to day and it will be splendid for sauce. It is already mixed." She never said anything, but handed me the butter and told me to set it in the spring house. I did so and ventured to remark that it was mighty nice sweet butter. Well, I get the pudding for din? ner and eat about, twice as much as I wan ted just to show her bow good it was, and now everything is calm and serene. I expect we will have pudding and cake every day for a week, but I don't expect to ever mistake sug?r for salt again as long as I live. There are some things that won't hear repeating in a family, and Mrs. Arp sometimes suspects me of doing a little devilment out of pure cuss edness. We are preparing to go into winter quarters now. My wife has called my respect/u 1- attention to a few broken window glass, and* a leak in the roof, and' jl brick or two that are loose in the chim? ney back, and she has mentioned that another pair of blankets will be needed, for the grandchildren v *ie coming out and she says that my flan jel shirts are getting old and dilapidated; she always looks after me, bless her heart, and I always look after her, bless my heart, too, for she won't ask for anything and I have to talk to the girls and find out what their mother needs. If she ever asked me for anything in her life I don't know it, and I reckon the reason is I don't give her a chance. She has got things in that big old family trunk now that I have done forgot I ever bought. Winter is coming and I am glad of it. I do so love the cheerful blazing fire in the family room and the children sitting around and Mrs. Arp in her accustomed corner and the good, warm carpet on the floor and the rich fat pine by the closet door to kindle the fire in the morning. Well, there is a power of pleasure in this subloonary life if we will look at it. / Bill Arp. Carious Facts About Sewing Machines. The patents on sewing machines ex? pired some years since; that is, in 1876. A number of new companies were ready to enter the field when the patent rights were no longer enforced, and they did so; but they nearly all became bankrupt. Women that were used to the Singer's, Wheeler and Wilson's, Grover and Bar? ker's, and other popular machine?, would have nothing to do with cheaper and better instruments with which they were not familiar. Since the patents expired in 1876 nine of the new companies have become bankrupt, and while forty new ones exist in name, the business is really monopolized by the old companies. Ac? cording to the last census there are 106 sewing machine establishments in the United States with* an invested capital of $12,800,000. They employ 9,283 person?, and annually pay wages amounting to nearly $5,000,000. The sales of sewing machines amount to ?14,000,000 annual? ly.?From Demorest'a Monthly for October.

' The Duke or Wellington's Experiment. In a ground-floor room in one of the, large public buildings of London a "insnf sat writing at a table covered with papers. He was a short, strongly built figure, with a prominent nose, and a face hard aod massive as a granite statue, - wearing the set look peculiar to men who have surmounted great difficulties and con? fronted great perils. Few, indeed/ had bad more practice in both than this man', for he was no other than the Duke o Wellington, and his crowning victory at Waterloo was still but a few years oldr * There was the tinkle of a bell outside, and then a murmur of voices in "the anteroom; but the Duke never raised his head from his writing, even when his secretary entered and said: . 4 I ? _ "If it please your Grace, that man with the. bullet-proof breastplate has called again, and wishes very much to see your Grace for a moment." The Duke's nice darkened, as well it might for the man in question .was the' most pertinacious bore whom1 he hid ever encountered. The bullet-proof cuirass was his own invention, and he never lost a chance of declaring that the safety of the whole British army depen? ded upon ' its instant adoption of this* "unparalled discovery," which he carried about with him, and exhibited at all times and in all places. Had this been all, he would soon have been disposed of; but, unluckily, he had contrived to interest in his invention one or two of the Duke's personal friends, and to get from them letters of recom? mendation which even Wellington could not easily disregard. Something must clearlybe;doney however; for^a{jhough the fellow had hitherto been kept at nay, he was evidently determined to give the Duke no peace till the matter had been fully gone into. For a moment Wellington looked,so grim that the secretary began to hope for the order which he would gladly have obeyed, viz., to kick the inventor into the street forthwith. But the next in? stant the iron face cleared again, and over it played the very;gbost of a smile, like a gleam of winter sunshine upon a precipice. "Show him iu," said he, briefly. The observant secretary noted both the tone and the smile that accompanied it; and-he" inwardly decided that, ituwb?ld have been better for that inventor if he had no? insisted on seeing:the Duke. In. came the great discoverer?a tall, slouching, shabby, slightly red-nosed man, with a would-be jaunty air, which gave way a little, however, before the "Iron Duke's-' penetrating glance. "I am glad to: think that your Grace appreciates the merits of my invention," said he, in a patronizing tone. "They are, indeed, too important to be under? valued by any great commander. Your Grace can not fail to-remember tbe havoc I made by your gallant troops at Waterloo 'among tbe French cuirassiers, whose breastplates were not bullet proof; whereas, if?" "Have you got the thing with you?" interrupted Wellington. .The inventor unwrapped a very showy looking cuirass of polished steel, and was just beginning a long lecture upon its merits, when the Duke cut him short by asking) "Are you quite sure it is bullet-proof?" "Quite snre, your Grace." "Put it on, then, and go and stand in that corner." . f Tbe other wonderingly obeyed. : it. "Mr. Temple," shouted Wellington to his secretary, "tell .the sentry outside to load with ball-cartridge, and come iu here to test this cuirass. Quick, now !" But quick though the secretary, was, the inventor was quicker still. The mo? ment he realized that be had been set up there oa purpose to be fired at, and to be shot dead on hie spot if his curiass turn? ed out to be not bullet proof after all, he leaped headlong through the open win? dow with a yell worthy of a Black-foot Indian, and darting like a rocket across tbe courtyard, vanished through the out? er gateway; nor did the Duke of Well? ington, from that day forth, ever see or bear of him again.-rDavid Ker, in Edi tor's Drawer, HarpefsMagazmefox\ Odo ber, ' i -j',, j Hendrix Has Paid.

THE LITTLE GEORGIA BAR Having secured the SOLE RIGHT to sell the Celebrated Stone Mountain Corn Whiskey, DEFIES Competition by saying that it is by far the PUREST and BEST Corn Whis? key made in the world. Physicians prescribe it, wherever known, as the best. No use in going to Drug Stores or other Bars to buy Pure Corn Whiskey for Medicinal purposes, or any other purpose, for there is not a single Drug Store or Bar in the Town that keeps Stone Mountain Whiskey. Consequently, there is none so good as the Genuine Klone Mountain Corn Whiskey. Remember, that the only place you can got Stone Mountain Corn Whiskey is at the LITTLE GEORGIA BAB. F.

In August, 1881, nearly three ye:ire ago, my sor| who was at that time living at Clinton, 6a.. came over to sec me with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the l&st stages of consumption and that her physician had pronounced her caso hone? less. I went immediately over, and I felt that nothing could be done. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a large quantity of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the time you began to ad? vertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles wero procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til tl) 2 prescribed dose was reached, bhe began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was Anally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con eider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewor's Lung Restorer and never lets an opportunity pass where he thinks sucL a medi? cine would be required, that be does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long sicca a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic." .
