BILL ABF. He IS Consoled In a Divorce Case. Atianfa.CbnstOutiQrL I was sitting down in front of the hotel Che other morning perusing the CbnttUu-. Uon when a clever, good-for-nothing, . seedy, pale-faced individual came up and took a chair beside me, and says he, "Kernal, Bposen a woman was to put up a plea and writ a feller when she had no grounds^ and her lawyer put it in the paper j and now she wants to take it back and git 'together. again, can't I make her . write a liebil! and put that in the paper -/.too?" "I don't exactly understand you, my friend," said I. "Is it a divorce case f Is your wife sueicgyou for a divorce V' 6 "Aizactly," said he, "I had a little property and she and her 'lawyer wants it, and so she raised a rumpus about nothing and put in a plea and wants all the money'Alimony^ said I. "Ad iactfy," saddle* "and so I sold my prop . extj and put all ths money where she can't find it, and how she wants to come together again'and don't want to sign a IrebiU." - - J . "How long have you been married f" I ; said I. HSg^Abont two months," said be, "And what was the matter?" said X '-. - What made her sue you: what did vou do to her*" ' ^Nothing," said he.

Aiht she got to prove it before she can put in a plea?" : "Prove what?" said L ,. "Why, prove what she called me," said he. "Wen-lets vBee" said I. "Eid, you.l ; come from^ NorWCarbl?a?" X v '? "WellrI-were born thar," said-he; "Acd yooE eyes are a little yaller," said I; "and. your complexion is very sallow, and you "may be bex-ankled-^r jgjifon't know. Now the main question/is^ What do you do for a living? What is your trade; are you a vagabond or not?"

Now is the time when I love to take! the. little? chaps? around the farm and ; pull a'feflrof the big ears of the 'hew corn for new meal, and big hominy, and it looks Jike theJow ground.corn is big? ger and latter than ever before.- I find : some ears 18 inches long with 18 and 20 rbws and they will average a thousand groins, and 40'of them wiU 'shell a half 'bushel. It la curious how nature figures '.up her products, for I-have never yet seen, ' an ear:with an odd row. They are 14 and 16 and 18 and 20 but never odd, and it-is a mysterious wonder bow the tender shoot wrapped up in its newbornshuck always moulds the cot into even num? bers and never makes a mistake. Ordi? narily it takes a hundred ears to make a bushel, and with a thousand grains to .the ear, a bushel of shelled corn has one hun? dred Ihonsand grains. One time: there Vwias a Persian "philosopher who wanted to teach' the wild young king a lesson of prudence and good government, and so be invented the game of. chess, and : tought him how to play, and how depen? dent the king.was,; upon the queen, and 'how the knights and the bishopa and the castles represented. the chivalry and the church, and the old solid men - of the kingdom, and it took all of'them to strengthen the emj^e^^dfdeftnd jthe viking;-and the.pawns were the humble ' SubjeclSj the poor working.-people, and they were the truest and best defenders of all. So the young king took the lesson kindly, and'was so gratified for it that he . -wanted to make the philosopher a pres? ent, and .while they were playinga, game on the chess board the philosopher said, be didn't want any present but if the king insisted on it he would simply take a grain of corn for the first square cn the chess-board and have it doubled on each succeeding square until all the sixty-four squares were covered. The king laughed at him for.wanting such a trifle and the philosopher' went off and told him he would ; call next day for his corn, and asked Mm to figure it up and see how mucTi 'it'Va^ That night the king thought he would calculate, and ' so he ' went to work and; found that it would take more corn than was in his kingdom ?more than had been made iu the king? dom-for a thousand years, and now I would like-for the boys and girls who are going to school to do this sum and find 'out how many million Jbarts-iqldipg a million bushels each it would take to I hold the ph?osophor's corn/ ^Phe old man took- this way- to check the king's extravagance, and keep him from squan? dering tbe-estste his father left him. Our Uttle^nlps ar? gltheringthe pop-' coitanowacdtheTred ears and the yellow j ones and the speckled ones look mighty nice all mixed together and the children :will.have.a good time these long winter nights that are coming-. They are talk? ing about walnuts and scaly barks and chestnuts and black haws aud .may pops abd 'possums. These little things make up a bright picture in theiife of a child, and they treasure sweet memories that do us good in our old age. I don't care much for suffh thinjra now, hut I do care to see the children happy just as I used to be happy in the long, long agov I can't climb a tree and shake down the nuts; I can't pull up by a muscadine vine band over band; I can't run a pony race to the null like I used to-, but I can still mean? der around with thu children and grand? children, sad make ji cornstalk fiddle and a gourd banjo, and a sassafras, bow. If our children wonld always be children I would willingly bo old just to follow -them around, but one by one they grow up and leave us, and soon?very soon?

The Laughed-at Inventor at Last Makes a rat. Mr. John Keely, the author of what is I ^Imown- a8:"K|ely^ Motor^.went- from' Philadelphia^ to New York I'Satarnay to ^experiment in: the .presenJeel of! United States army officers with the ntw force which he had discovered* and the new machinery invented by him to create and control that unknown and mysterious force. A few day8 ago Col. Hamilton, the great-grandson of Alexander Hamil? ton^ and an officer at Fort, Hamilton, on the Narrows, visited Mr. Keely's ridi? culed workshop at Philadelphia. He was astonished by what he saw. there, and wrote to the War Department in re? gard to a gun which Mr. Keely discharged by that force of whose secret he is the sole conservator. Secretory Robert Lincoln sent the derided Mr. Keely per? mission tb try his gun at the Government rifle range at Sandy Hook. In addition to Col. Hamilton, Lieut.' E. L. Zalinski, CapL G. V. Weer, Lieut S. A. Day, Lieut. B. K. JBoberta and Lieut. E. E. Hills, of the regular army, were present to witness the experiment. Also a large number of prominent gentlemen, includ? ing Dwight Lawrence, Geo. H. Peabody, Robert Cornell and E. G. Randall, of the Erie Railroad. It is said Saturday was the first time in Lua life that Mr. Keely had been induced to leave his laboratory. He is a tall, iron-gray-haired man, with a determined expression of countenance. He is said to be fifty-eight years of age. His fingers are Huge and have large -lumps like !>lumbs at the end, owing to his manual abors. Beside him were the not very formidable-looking instruments to be ex* I hibited. A small gurr with a li bore, resting upon wheels, an1 iron- receiver a yard and a half long, containing the mys? terious force and connected with (the gun by an iron wire tube 8-16 of an inch in diameter; a small intensifies also con-1 nected with the gun 5 a wooden target 400 yards distant. The spectators saw nothing else. There was so little apparatus that people felt inclined to be disappoint ed, but Col. Hamilton looked so busy and Mr. Keely so nervous that they felt quite satisfied. j:' Mr. Keely took a small leaden ball, 4} ounces in weight, and with a wooden .stick rammed it down the muzzle of the jgum He then took a hammer and in a Ppjfromatic fashion tapped the iron re-1 "ceiver containing the mysterious force. The crowd involuntarily stepped back, expecting an explosion. ^Nothing but a handle, the first experiment was con? cluded. The ball was projected from the gun with a short, sharp sound. There was no heat, the muzzle of the gun I being Micold as itwas before the ball had been .placed in it. There was no smoke. [ There was very Mittle recoil. The pro-1 jectile was sent toa distance of 300 yards, the elevation used having been 2? de* I ^ ^?nderfol I" Mid>Gc?;Hamilton. I .."Strange I" ejaculated the crowd. The next shot, from an elevation of six degrees, struck the target one foot above"the centre. " The third shot passed I to the left above the target. The fourth was attended with a similar result. The fifth struck the tirget at the bottom. The sixth and seventh went to the left, and other shots weie sent in rapid succession to show that tho power in * be receiver j was by no means exhausted. The time of flight of :;he second shot was found to be 3| seconds. The velocity was then ascertained by means of Boulager'a initial j velocimeter, One shot-was found to be projected at the rate of 482 feet^per Bec-'j ona, the next at 492 feet per second, another at 523 feet per second, or at I about one-third the velocity, obtained by the Springfield rifle. Three 3-inch spruce wood planks were then placed before the the gun in order to teat the penetrating j force of the instrument. A cylindrical steel shot was fired and went entirely j through the first plank and half through the second. j "The pressure I have-used," said Mr. Keely, "is 7,000 pounds to the square ioch. I could nse 30,000 pounds, and have done I so." Experiments were continued during the afternoon, and the directors of the com? pany were Apparently radiently happy. What the mysterious force was no one learned. Mr. Keely, not having patented bis invention, is naturally suspicions of a money-grabbing world. "Vaporic force" was the only'explanation he volunteered. Philadclphia, Pa., September 211? John W. Keely, the, inventor of the Keely motor, who has denied himself to all interviewers for four years, explained at length to-day the wonderful experi? ments with this pew motor gun, which were made at Sandy Hook on Saturday at the expeoBe Of the GoverdmeDt. "Strip? ping the process of .all technical , terms," said the inventor, "the motor gun is sim? ply this: I take water and air; two medi? ums of different specific gravity, and pro? duce from them, by generation an "effect under vibration that . .liberates from the air and water an interatomic ether. The energy of this ether is boundless and can hardly be comprehended. The spe? cific gravify of. the ether is about four times lighter than that of hydrogen gas, the lightest gaa so far discovered. . . "Tb? gun I used.at,Sandy Hook was a i breech-loadihgTifle,'; weighing 500 pounds. It. was specially constructed for roe. It was four feet long and had a four-inch bore. On Wednesday last I charged niy tube, a five gallon jeservoir of wrought iron, one and a half inches thick, with etheric vapor.' Then I boxed it Up, and did not even lest it, so certain was I of Its" pWer.w. For'thVee .'hours'"'before the experiment U rem'ained fin touch ed in my shop.-, TH^pj^|s^df ^ar^g it con? sumed less" than f'oufseconds of time. - - "Yo?'could h?fe guess-hOW^much mate? rial was used in making the vapor. To .project twenty leaden bullets, each weighing nearly five ounces, at a velocity of'over 500 "feet a slcondi'tKere was re-1 ?quired six drops of ^water .and about a pint oiiir. From this combination I de? rived sufficient force to fire 250 bullets of the weight of those used, and the most curiouB thing about it all in that I found at. the end 01 my .experiments that I had increased .the power nr my tube, instead j of 'diminis'hihg..iLijust as.a. race-horse needs to be warmed up'before ne can do himself justice.' The initial velocity of the last bullet was. more than that of the first one. I can take the same tube and operate it, another day." ' "Have you overestimated the power of your inter-atomatic ether?" was asked. "I have produced frequently," was the answer, "a pressure of 10;000 pounds to the square inch iu a quarter of a second. The process in reality is instantaneous. I I have succeeded in making a vacum' of I tbiny-one pouuds pressure. The steel j coil attached to the gun increases the in? tensity of the vibratious fifteen fold. After the ether is introduced into the weapon behind the. projectile the vibrations lib? erate it, :t expands, and the bullet is pro? pelled out with great force, four times as great, as I said, as that of gun-powder. I ?bare succeeded'in generating a pressure of 56,000 pounds to the inch, and I have propelled a lead ;bullet through a four inch plank of wood. In this instance, after.passsing through the wood, so great was the force of its progress it flattened itself out the size of a. plate." Iff ? I ILA -- Dakota farmers, are having a bad year in the.

Production and Consumption of Cotton* I n reviewing the cotton movement and crop of 1833-84 the Commercial and Financial Chronicle gives some very iu terestiDg statistics on quite-a number of points. The statistics relating to .the ?consumption and production of cotton, for instance, contain very valuable infor? mation. The annual increase in the consump? tion of cotton is very steady. Expressed ! in 400-lb. bales the average amount con? sumed each year, throughout the world, during the sue years ending in 1871-72, waa 5,419,000 bales. The average amount consumed each year during the six years ending in 1877-78 was 6,868,000 bales, and the amount consumed each year during the six years ending in 1883-84 was 8,708,000 bales. It is interesting to note the relative increase of consumption in the localities where cotton is consumed. From 1866 67 to 1871-72 the annual consumption in Great Britain was 2,646,000 bales ; on the Continent 1,703,000 bales, and in the United States 822,000 bales. From 1872 73 to 1877-78 the annual consumption in Great Britain was 3,116,000 bales; on the Continent 2,271,000 bales, and in the United States 1,481,000 bales. From 1878-79 to 1883-84 the annual consump? tion in Great Britain was 3,496,000 bales; on the Continent 3,064,000 bales, and in the United States 2,188,000 bales, From these figures it appears that the increase in consumption has been much greater in this country than anywhere else. It is noticeable that our manufac? turing capacity increases as our cotton crop increases. The world's supply of cotton for the past 18 years is shown by the following figures. The bales' are rated at 400 pounds. The average crop in the United States from 1866 to 1872 was 3,167,000 bales, and in all other places 2,837,000 bales. The average crop in the United States from 1872 to 1878" was 4,771,000 bales, and In all other localities 2,022,000 bales. From 1878 to 1884 the average crop in the United States was 6,721,000 bales, and. in all other localities 2,015,000. The increase-in" the world's supply of, cotton, therefore, was furnished by this, country. . It is highly probable that the contribntions to the world's supply of j cotton by other countries will remain stationary in the future. The demand for cotton is all the time increasing. The increase must be sup? plied by this cou ntry. It is reasonable to suppose that within the next six years our Cotton crop will reach 8,000,000 bales. What lo Teach Girls.

The gentleman who outlines his case below is a man considerably advanced in life, and is noted for his sterling integrity. His Postoffice is Yatee ville, TJpson County, Ga. The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 18821 was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not got about I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumpUon and would probably die. Dr. Hollowav finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re? storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got abotl" and 1 commenced tcking it right away. After tak? ing two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time I bad used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Long Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever uade in my opin? ion. Dr. H. promised me 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 sewlsg on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain la 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 he 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. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Hollovay in consultation. They made a final examination of the patient and. pronounced the ease hopel?ee. Dr. Eofloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as alz* lesort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she eould retain it on her stomach, ml. after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her eondition. I ?ontinued the medicine regularly, and by the time ike had taken, two bottles, she was able to walk about the house.. She is now in better health than see has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a Aunlly of lit ehildreta,. some of them grown." Mr. Hearndon's Postoffice Is Yatesrille, Upson County, Ga.
