Sam Jones delivered one of his charac? teristic lectures at the opera house last night. ?: He has just recently returned from California, and the subject of his lecture was "California, and Oalifornians." Sam Jones's lectures and sermons are always full of quaint sayings and striking illustrations, >ut his California trip 'seems to have added even more to his stock of wit and hawor. His lecture last night was On a some* what different line, from that which he has heretofore followed, bot it was in his happiest style, and was thoroughly ap? preciated by all who heard him. He was introduced by Eev. H?J. Ellis, and in beginning his lecture he said that he was going to tell of his trip in the , simplest and most interesting manner he knew how. ."Ialways thought,'? he rjaid, "that Atlanta was the hub of the universe, and that when the Almighty created the world He must have been very near about where the artesian well stands. But when! reached Los Angeles, Cal., all these thoughts faded away. When I ?ot there the whole west was in full loom, and Los Angeles was my dream of fairy land." - He went on to tell abont his religious meetings there, and said that most of the people who lived in Los Angeles were from New York, Boston, and other big cities and that they were nothing like the other California people. "There is one peculiar thing about, the climate but there," he said, "and that is a fellow always has a cold, or rather he takes a new one about twice a day?it lasts abont six bourn, sort'o like a drunk r-and your nose will run all day long. withont^wTnding up. Then the cold makes you have such a queer feeling. It makes yon feel like yon had stolen a sheep and wero about to be found ?nt? the meanest feeling in the world. But the thing that rattled me most was this: One day I was out riding with a friend, going down a steep hill it looked like to me. My friend asked me which way we ? were going; and I told him down, of course. He then told me to notice the horses' traces. I did so, and they wero as?tight as could be and the horses were; [polling hard too. That rattled me worse: /than"I ever was by John Barleycorn, and I felt like a fool?natural for once in my. 'life, I reckon. I afterwards saw water run up hill thoagb, and that "made me feel still worse." .' - In speaking of the religion of the peo-i pi a in San Francisco, he said that they hardly knew what it was, and that when Mr. Christian, a minister there, told him; how things were he never felt so much like getting drunk in his lifo; that if he' had been: a Presbyterian he would have done it,'but;being a Methodist he wasj afraid. | . "The people in California will gamble! on anything?they will.bet on anything, from a cigarette to wheat field. Even the ladies net They will bet their dia? monds on a horse race and their seal-skin sacques on a dog fight, and pay them too if they lose." - II "The people of San Francisco don't j believe in hell," continued Mr. Jones, "but they have got more of it than any j i other people I ever saw. The way. they i are rushing to damnation reminds me of -my dbg. Once I w*?. out walking, and ; -mydog,alittle fellow,was along, sad'-.; denly a dog bigger than he was jumped; out from a yard and scared him, and he ran the fastest, !?? thought, I had ever, seen a dog-run, and the other dog right! after Mm. Directly a still bigger dog; jumped up and ran after the dog that; was chasing mine. Yon just ought to: have seen that middle dog. run. He was afraid the hind dog would catch the front] I dog, arid he fairly flew. That's the way] i;th\tf; San .Francisco people live. They live faster than any other people on j earth, and unless something stops them ' they are going, to hell as fast as thai; mid-; die dog was running." In paying hi3 respects to the California ?' ress he said that most of the newspapers ad jumped on him and had given'him 'p?T?cniar:fits,vb?t-that one 'Or "two had; treated him well. "Bat," said he, "the Conaliiution don't ? exchange with any of the decent papers! out there, and of course they, get those with ail the mean things in. about me. I'll go over to see them abont it, though, j for they are my friends and I'll tell them about it and get them to revise their ' exchange list and get some of the good oues.JV Mr. Jones closed by giving an account of .the very successful meetings he had held in San Francisco. Two Old Codgers Meet. : Coi. Win. W. Hollfthd, of South Caro Una, and Hon. J.- B.Benson, of Hartwell, were talking over their school-boy days in Benson's store last Saturday afternoon. They were students of the Manual Labor School, four miles from Old Pendleton, S. O., in 1834 agd 1835. Ont of eighty five students, as far as they could find bat, only five are now living. The old men told of innocent pranks they played. Most of the students wero ?young men. The discipline was of the strictest old-fashioned Presbyterian style. Rev. J.L. Kennedy, the principal, was noted as a rigid disciplinarian, and would not hesitate to thrash a grown yonng man if he deserved it. Among the stadents were a number of good musicians, and they occasionally walked up to Pendleton late at night to serenade the yonng ladies. About half a mile from the school there was a creek with a steep hill down to it. One night a serenading party had gone to town, and a lot.of boys with. backets worked like beavers and covered a portion of the steep hillside with a coating of black swamp mad, and stretched a strong rope across the road nearly knee-high. Re? turning in the darkness the /rope tripped the- serenaders and tcey tumbled into the black mud, with their immaculate linen suits on. The serenaders were a Bight to behold, and the in-voluntary vocal music that ensued was of the most discordant kind. The dirty victims cut the rope into small bits,?ahd William Holland had to buy a new bed-cord. In those days bedsteads were corded with 36 yards of rope, and it took as long to cord up a bed as it does now to wind np a Waterbury watch. I;; was a good joke on the serenaders. and Mr. Kennedy never "let on" that be knew anything about it. The objectof the school was to learn boys how to work on a farm. They worked three hours every day, except Sunday. James Clark was the farmer and overseer. He was a kind-hearted man. and was never known to report but one boy, George Ross, who drove the male team,?he would curse them. When brought up he told Mr. Kennedy that he did not want to curse, but no man in the world could drive that team with? out cursing. Quite a number of the boys made suc? cessful planters, a majority made preach? ers, lawyers, doctors and business men of all kinds. Labor schools should be revived. Many of the lazy, worthless young men-that are loatiing around, if they had been taught to work as well as read Latin and Greek would now be able to support themselves. Look at the rich and influential men of the American cities 1 More than half of them started from the farm, poor boys, with nothing but honesty, industry, and economy for ther capital. Labor omnia vincit is not only true, but also Labor ipse voluplas. Yon May be too Modest. But you certainly are not afraid to ask for something to relieve you of a torpid liver?of bad blood. You need it right now,- Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic is the article. A leading physician writes: Ridgeville, S. C. Dear Sir: You will please send me two bottles of your Calisaya Tonic. The bottle you gave me has given satisfaction beyond my expectation. * * Hoping you verv great success With your Tonic, I am very truly yours, W. B. Way, M. D.

Danville, VA., May ??}.?A terrible accident occurred here to-day. J. G. Penn was building a largo brick tobacco facto? ry on Bridge street, nearly 200 feet long and six stories high. The walls had been completed and carpenters were at work Ob it. The wind was blowing hard and abont 2 o'clock this afternoon the entiue building came down with a crash. Robert Prnitt, Wm. Young., G. B. Jones, Buck Hooper and D. N. Collie were kill-, ed. Henry Oakes will die and six others were badly injured. It is the worst acci? dent of the kind known here.

C; Henry Wit thous committed suicide at his home, No. 27 East 75th street, by shooting himself. He had returned from the parade in his uniform of the Old.Guard at noon and went to hiB room to' prepa?o for dinner. At 1 o'clock his brother wer" up stairs to call him to dinner and found.him lying in a pool of blood dead. He had first shot himself in the left temple with a Bmall revolver and the bullet glanced off. Then he took a larger revolver- and shot himself in the rjght temple. This shot finished the work.: "He was very wealthy. Besides being a member of the Old Guard, he was a member-of the Press Club, of the Liederkranz Society , of the Thirteen Club and other organizations. He v?as at one time inspector of rifle practice for the 9th regiment. Danville, III., May 28.?The Rey. J .C. Meyers of State Li ne, Ind., at the request of the Rev. Mr. Steele of the New Liberty Christian Church, Fountain County, Indi,jfilled the pulpit in that church on Sunday.? During the evening services a rain cfond was noticed to over-' cast the sky. Immediately afterward a blinding bolt. of lightning descended, destroying thelihnrch chimney. Follow? ing along the stove pip 9, wh; ran around the room," it crushed the two stoves into fragments and tore op the floor. After leaving the chimney the bolt separated, and a portion of it ran down the chande? lier over the pulpit, striking Mr. Meyers in the back of . the head. He turned a somersault, fell heavily to. the floor, , and was thought to be dead. He lay in in unconscious condition for more thaa a half hour. Several persons in the large congregation we:e shocked into insensi? bility, out soon recovered. On the back of Mr. Meyer's head where the lightning struck him is a braised place abont the size of a silver dollar. His .face appears burnt, and his sight is nearly, destroyed. He" was brought to this city for treat? ment. An oculist who is attending him fears that the los? of vision will be perma? nent. Marriage is a Failure. ..When either of the parties marry for money.

Mr. Russell Myrick of the firm of Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark., says he wishes to add his testimony to the thousands which have already been given as to Swift's Speeific. He says he derived the most signal benefit from its use to cure painful boils and sores re? sulting from impnre blood. ? When taken for a few days, potash mixtures impair the digestion, take away the appetite, and dry up the gastric juices which should assist in digesting and assimilating the food. Swift's Spe? cific has just the opposite effect; it im? proves digestion, brings appetite, and builds up the general health. ? Col. Forsyth, one of the leading raisin producers of the United Staves, has just returned to London from a carefnl inspection of all the raisin-growirg dis? tricts of the Continent, and Bays that American raisins, in addition to supply? ing the American market, are destined Boon to take a large share of the London business. He says the phylloxera is con? stantly diminishing the best crops of Spain in an increasing degree, and that even if they should now get a remedy for it, which is cot probable, it will be five years before the Malaga district can recover its former position. A heavy consignment of California raisins has been disposed of in London this season, being the first shipment of the kind on record. An Editor's Experience. Major Sidney Herbert, a well known journalist in agricultural circles, writes April 18th, 1889: Some five years ago I wrote a letter stating that Swift's Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since that time I have no return of the rheumatic troubles, although frequently exposed to the influences that produced former attacks. Several of my friends had a similar experience,- and are firm in their conviction that S S. S. bronght a permanent cure. ? The searching power of this medicine, is shown in the fact that it developed a scrofulous taint that was conspicuous in ray blood over thirty years ago, and has removed the last trace of it. I have also tested S. S. S. as a tonic after a severe attack of malarial fever, which kept me in bed for three months, and 8m convinced that its cura? tive and strengthening properties insured my recovery from that illness, as I was in a very low condition of health.

The girl looked up at him and around the car, and evident- j ly realized the situation, for she took pencil and tablet from reticule and made ready for him. After about five minutes the man turned to her and observed : "Beg pardon if I am mistaken, but don't you live at Utica ?" She looked up in a furtive way, and then wrote on the tablet and handed him : "I am deaf and dumb." "Ah!
