J. M. LONG, N. B. MOORE, April 4,1894?40 Administrator?, A Cool Man. Beading an article publishedfin the Tribune in which Were described the experience of two men in a railroad wreck, where a oar rolled over and over down an embankment into a river reminded a New Yorker of a similar accident. *'There isn't anything in the world that I know," he said, "that makes a man lose his senses so completely as being tumbled over and over in a fall? ing oar, and yet I met a man once who seemed the personification of coolness in just such a situation. As soon as our car left the track we were all shot from our births in various di? rections^ being tumbled up and down and around as the car kept on turning somersaults. Like the people I read about, we landed in the water, and when the car came to a standstill af ter its terrifying bumping and crashing, I was so terrified that I could scarcely move my arms to keep my head above water. "Near me, however, was a man who kept his head. " 'Don't spiash around so," he said. 'You'll cut yourself. The car is full of broken glass, lamps, wrenched rods and rails, and you'll hack yourself to pieces.' "But I thought I was drowning, and I shouted my fears to him, " 'Oh, no,' he said, 'we are not drowning; we'll get out of this very easily.' "But it was not so easy to escape as my cool friend assured me. The whole inside work had been shattered, and there w?.s nothing by which we could climb to the windows, which were high above us, as our car was overturn? ed, lying on its roof. We made so many efforts to jump up. always falling back into, the waiter, that I became exhausted. My friend, however, kept on encouraging me. "Finally, with his assistance, I managed to clutch a window frame and I got out. He followed me shortly af? terward. "The first thing he did when he had climbed outside was to examine him? self for outs or other wounds. "'Well, I guess I am alive,' he said wil;h a laugh. "After we hud sat there for awhile watching with shivers the wreokers working out to tts, my friend declared that he was going to crawl back to the car. " 'Great heaven si' I begged, 'don't do that; we were lucky, to get out once. You might get pinned there or drown? ed by the rising water. "'I have a Waistcoat in there,'he answered, 'and in the inside pocket there's over one thousand dollars. I am going back for that waistcoat. My berth was an end one, and I might be able to find it. "In the face of my protest he crawl? ed back through the window, and when he dropped down with a loud splash, I was 'rattled' as if I had been there again myself. I oould hear him puff? ing around in the water down there for a long time, while he was fishing for his waistcoat. Finally, his wet head came through the window once more, and I was -never more glad to Bee a man. , ."'I got it!' he said," with a trium? phant laugh. 'Pretty Wet, but the bills seem to be here. Watch is gone. Too bad, too; it was given to me, but one can't expect to save everything out of a railroad wreck,' he added, cheer? fully. "He was a cool man, that fellow, and nothing could disturb his good humor." fire Minutes for Matrimony. I had to wait at the depot after the other passengers had scattered in or? der to see the agent, and when our business had been concluded I noticed a young colored woman hanging about. She seemed to want information, and ? I mentioned the matter to the colored Sorter.. He walked up to her and rusquely demanded: "Now, den, what yo' reckon yo' want to find out?" "Gwine to find out 'bout Abner Jones," she replied. "Didyo' 'spect him to meet yo' yerer ' "Yes." "An' den yo' was gwine to git mar? ried to him?" "Yes." "Shoo! Waal, Abner Jones he won't dun be 'round yere to-day. He married my sister last week, an' de happy couple hev gone to Opelika fur de honeymoon. Was yo' all ready to marry him?" "Yes." "Cum right down fur dat purpose, eh?" ' "Yes," "Shoo I JeBfc wait a minit. Say, yo' Jim out darl" Jim was a young colored man who was unloading cotton "from a dray on the platform. He came up to where we stood, and the porter said! ''Jim, dis yere puB&on cum down to marry Abner Jones{ but Abner he dun got married to my sister. If she wants a husband, den she orter hev one. I'm gwine to leave yo' alone wid her jest five minutes." "We walked down to the end of the platform and back, and Jim and the wo? man came out of the waiting room hand in hand. "All dun settled ?" asked the por? ter. "Yes," replied the pair in chorus.. "Den go uptown and git hitched by de preacher, and may de Lawd have mercy on yo'r souls. "It was pretty sudden, was'nt it?" I queried of the porter as we stood and watched the happy pair going up the street. "Shoo! What's de use in fussin* around 'bout gittin' married?" he re? plied. "I'ze bin dar 'bout seben times myself, an' de worry worst one of de lot was a woman dat purtended to be shy and den kept me waitin' 40 minits befo' she said yep!"?M. Quad. Wings By and By. "Walter,''" said a gentleman on a ferry-boat to a poor, helpless cripple, "how is it when you cannot walk, that your shoes get worn ?" A blush came over the boy's pale face, but after hesitating a moment he said: "My mother has younger children, sir; and while she is out washing, I amuso them by creeping about on the floor and playing." "Poor boy!" said a lady standing near, not loud enough as she thought to be overheard. "What a life to lead ! What has he in all the future to look forward to ?" The tear started in his eye, and the bright smile that chased it away show? ed that he did hear her. As she passed by him to step on shore he said, in a low voice, but with a smile: "I am looking forward to having wings some day, lady." Happy Walter! Poor, crippled, and dependent on charity, yet performing his mission.; doing, in his measure, the Master's will, patiently waiting for the future, he shall by and by. "mount up with wings as eagles ; shall run, and not be weary; shall walk, and not be faint." ? In the many great German fac? tories the employees are forbidden to wear corsets during work hours. An Incident of the Crimean Wat. A'mandate had gohej;.fortn to the effect that a certain suburb of Sebas topol ?hould be raided by a select body of English. The attack Was to take place at mid-day, when the enemy were at dinner. . . ? The venture was sti 'quickly execu? ted that it was ttompi$teiy successful. The occupants of . the Cottages had fled, leaving their dinners untouched on the table and the canaries in their cages. In one cottage was found a child about six months ohl> clothed, and asleep in its cradle. An officer Carried awa.y the little one as a prisoner of war ana sent the news of his capture to headquarters. "Word came at once from Lord Raglan ordering that a flag of truce should be sent out next morning and that all possible search and inquiry should be made for the mother of the child. Some of the officers were amused that so much trouble should be taken about a stray baby, but the chief's orders had to be obeyed. No mother was forthcomingihowever to acknowledge the lost waif. But there was a woman in the rifle brigade who had ababy a few weeks old who was will? ing to undertake double duty; About three weeks elapsed, and then Raglan, the good, sent another messenger of his staff, who had forgotten all about the adopted child, directing that in? quiry be made after "the mother and her twins." Word came back that the two chil? dren were thriving admirably, but that the mother herself looked worn and tired. "How many cows are there?" asked Raglan. "One, sir," waB the reply. "Then," said the self-denying chief, "send the woman down a bottle of milk every morning!" After this the little army protege became very popular. A chaplain christened her Alma, and at the end of the war the Queen adopted her and gave her a liberal education.? "Seventy years of life in the Victorian Era." No Fun In It. My neighbor, Mr. Pomeroy, i? ex? ceedingly fond of practical joking, and the other night, just before his wife retired, he hid himself in the closet in her room. When she came to bed he uttered several deep groans in order to scaro her, whereupon she began to scream, and fled from the room to call for help. Then Pomeroy, thought he would come out and undeceive her, but to his dismay he found that the spring cat oh upon the outside had caught and fastened him in. Then he began to call for assistance, but the noise he made only convinced Mrs. Pomeroy more strongly that there was a burglar in the closet. * When Pomeroy's brother-in-law heard of the matter, he loaded his revolver and called his d?g and went into the room. Then he began to fire into the closet, while Pomeroy, in an agony of terror, shrank back in one corner, and endeavored to make him? self understood. When five shots had been fired, Pomeroy'b brother-in-law concluded to let the dog finish the burglar) bo he opened the door gently, and the animal went in .as if he were hungry. When they thought the dog cer? tainly had him, they opened the door wide, and Pomeroy's brother-in-law was just about to knock the burglar on the head with the butt end of the pistol, when he saw who the victim was. They hauled off the dog, and as they lifted Pomeroy OUtj his orother in-law began to Bay to him : "Why, Aleck, is it you ? I thought "Oh nevermind what you thought!" replied Aleck, indignantly. "Never mind what you thought. You've put two bullet holes through my 'calf, and your dog haS bitten three or more mouthfnls out of my other leg, so's 1*11 be lame for life. If I had the strength, I'd kill you on the spot; but as Boon as I get about again, to jail you go for assault and battery) or my name's not Alexander Pomeroy, now you mind me !" * Then thjey put him to bed and bandaged him, and he is not about yet. It is thought by his family that his Sense of humor is a great deal less than it was.?Neva York Gazette. Hnsband and Wire* Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Vermillion on the Saluda side, opposite Donalds were in town last Saturday, buying goods. Mr. Vermillion is the head of a remarkable family and he has had somewhat a remarkable career. He was married forty-one years ago, when he was only twenty-one years of age. His wife} Miss Harriet Vaughn, of Greenville county, w?s three years j younger. They have lived happily during all their married life. To them have been born eighteen children, fif? teen of whom are now living?three having died in infancy. Mr. Vermillion has no education at all} but he appreciates the disadvan? tages of a lack of an education, and has; given all his children the rudi? ments of an English education, so that they may not labor under the disad? vantages to which he has been sub? jected. Although he Was pennyless on his marriage, he and his faithful wife have supported their family, and saved enough money to buy the good farm, on which they now live. He has been scrupulously careful to avoid debt, and raises his own meat, oorn and all kinds of food for his family and his stuck. He thinks the poverty of our peo? ple may be accounted for on the mis? application of the ready money which comes into their hands. Instead of making few debts, and paying what? ever may be owing, too many keep their money for speculation or to spend, and in the end find themselves embarrassed. He is as much indebted to his wife's efforts and intelligence, as to his own energy and good judg? ment, for the success which he has attained. With a wife having less ability, and less fidelity to all their best interests, they would not be in comfortable circumstances.?Abbeville Press and Banner. ?

It is one great element of success. Laggards do not bring things to pass. Thrift, energy, tact, obedience, promptness are characteristics which are sure to bring success to any young man who has opportunity as the first dollar of his capital. A young man was commencing life as a clerk. One day his employer said to him; "NoW) tomorrow that carg-? of cot? ton must be got out and weighed^ and wc must have a rcgulaHc'couht of it." He wa's a young man of energy. This was the firBt time he had been entrusted to superintend the execution of this work. He made his arrange? ments over night, spoke to the men about their carts and horses, and re? solved to begin very early in the morning. He instructed the laborers to be there at 4:30 o'clock. So they set to work and the thing was done. About 10 or 11 o'clock his master came in and seeing him sitting in the counting-house, looked Very black supposing that his commands had not been executed. "I thought," said his master, "you were requested to get out that cargo this morning?'.' "It iB all done," said the young man, "and here is an account of it.' He never looked behind him from that moment?never! His character waB fixed, confidence was established. He was found to be the man to do the thing promptly. He very soon came to be the one that could not be spar? ed; he was as necessary to the firm" as any one of the partners. He was a religious man, went through a life of great benevolence, and at his death was able to leave his children an am? ple fortune.?Epworth Herald. A Point for Southern Farmers. The following, from the Atlanta daily Constitution, of the 14th inst., should receive the attention of all those who are interested in farming. Judging from all the reports that we have seen, as to the small grain crops in the west, What the Constitution says is true, hence it behooves our people to be prepared for the emer? gency when it comes: "The recent untimely cold snap has played havoc with the grain and for? age crops in the "west-. Wheat and oats have been so materially damaged that the output will hardly suffice for home consumption. The prices of food crops this year will probably reach a high figure. This is something for southern farmers to consider very seriously. They make a great mistake at any time when they send to the west for grain and forage, but if they do it this year the consequences will be ruinous. Before it is too late our farmers should strain every nerve to produce food and forage crops that will sus? tain every man and beast in the south and leave a surplus for export to the west. Instead of buying these supplies this year at high prices, let us get ready to sell them to the millions who will need them in the vast region where short crops will make the peo? ple dependent upon other sections. We must live at home this year and sell supplies to our neighbors!" -? t? -s. Joseph Smith aiid his fiat. The phrase which describes a man whose statements are not to be im? plicitly accepted as "talking through his hat" is not the modern invention many consider it. He dates it back to the second decade of the present century and. fixes its birthplace at Palmyra; in Wayne county, N. Y. It owes its origin to the founder of Mor moni8m, who was the first of mortal men to "talk through his hat," if history is to be trusted. Joseph Smith was, in his youth, the possessor of a peculiar shaped stone that resembled in its outlines a child's foot. It came to be famous as the "peek stone" and the "Palmy? ra seer stone." With it the embryo prophet fooled the credulous people of that then sparsely settled region. Placing the "peeker" in his "stove Sipe hat," in which he buried his face, e was able to see very remarkable things, buried treasures, subterranean waters, property Btolcn and hidden, cattle lost and strayed, which, in ac? cents muffled by his interposed head? gear, he revealed, as they appeared to him, to his awe-stricken listeners. He talked through his hat. The fame of His powers spread abroad. He who wanted a well located, he whose probs erty had been stolen, or whose cattle had strayed, went to Joe Smith and besought him to "talk through his hat." Later,, when the revelations proved misleading and credulity; waned the phrase came to be used satirically and in it present sense.?Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Well Prepared, A minister's wife, who is not so se? riously minded at all times as her husband is, tells some laughable sto? ries relating to marriages ceremonies which he performed while they were living in a newly settled district in the backwoods' of Canada; The minister always felt it his duty to give each young couple a little se? rious advice before he performed the marriage ceremony, and for this pur? pose he usually took them aside, one at a time, and talked very soberly to each of them regarding the great im? portance of the step they were to take and the new responsibilities they were to assume. One day he talked in his most car nest manner for several minutes to a young woman who had come to be married. "And now," he said in closing, "I hope you fully realize the extreme importance of the step you are taking and that you are fully prepared for it." "Prepared?" she said, innocently; "well, if I ain't prepared, I don't know who is. I've got four common quilts and two nice ones, and four brand-new feather beds, ten sheets and twelve pairs of pillow slips, four linen table cloths, a dozen spoons and a good six-quart kettle. If I ain't prepared, no girl in this county ever was!" -m m ^ A Home-Made Safety Lamp. To instantly obtain a light sufficient to read the time by a watch or clock at night without the use of matches and without danger is an easy matter. Take an oblong vial of the clearest glass, put into it a piece of phosphorus the size of a pea, upon this pour some pure olive oil heated to a boiling point, filling the bottle about one-third full. Then cork tightly. To use the light, remove the cork, allow the air to entor and then recork. The whole empty space in the bottle will ;hen become luminous, and the light obtained will be a good one. As soon as the light becomes dim, its power can be in? creased by opening the bottle and allowing a fresh supply of air to enter. In very cold weather it is sometimes necessary to hold the vial in the hands to increase the fluidity of the oil, and one bottle will last a winter. This ingenious contrivance may be carried in the pocket, and is used by the watchmen of Paris in all magazines in which explosive or inflammable liia I terials are stored. No String to It. There Was a bright, new 50-ccnt piece lying on the pavement on Jeffer? son avenue, near Griswold street, when a bow-backed man with a satch? el came along from the depot. He Eaw the coin while he was yet 20 feet away, and he made a sudden forward rush to get it. The movement Was almost instantly checked, however, and he walked slowly forward and backed to the curbstone and stood there and gazed at the coin with a foxy look on his countenance; In about a minute d pedestrian Cable tip. s?W the coin, and reached for it ana put it in his pocket. Observing the attitude of the old man at the same time, he turned and queried. "It didn't belong to you, did it ?" "Wall, I swan I" was the reply. "What's the matter?" "This is the queerest durned town I ever struck in all my life. I was comin' up this street last year about this time when I saw a 50-cent jiieco lyin' jest about here.

An Augnstan's Invention. Augusta, Ga., April 12.? Mr. Cornele Adams, an assistant in the office of Mr. Albert Davidson, the city engineer, has invented and secured a patent on o certain apparatus that will work a revolution in the surveying World. The new method is called photograme try-, and photography and electricity are combined with the principles of engi? neering. The principle applies to sur? veying of anj kind. A gas balloon four? teen feet high is sent up. Connected with this is a parachute with a big camera attached. When n height of 2,500 feet is reached, an aneroid barometer releases an electric current. This current exposes the photographic lens, releases the para? chute, and opens the gas valve of the balloon. The parachute descends im? mediately ahd a photograoh of the earth 23x23 inches is found, which covers an area of 100 acres. Then the courses, dis? tance and heights in the 100 acres are worked out to a needle's point. ? Mrs. Isaiah Monroe, of Atlantic City, N. J., has been in mourning sever? al weeks in consequence of a telegram which announced that her husband had died of yellow fever ili the harbor of Rio de Janeiro: She has just received a letter from him postmarked Buenos Ayres, assuring her that he is alive and well. She has discarded her mourning. ? The Rev. Dr. Lafferty in a lecture at New Orleans said that at Sbiloh if Albert Sidney Johnston had lived thirty min? utes longer Gen. Grant would have sur? rendered. He had this from Blair, then a member of the Lincoln cabinet. A bullet sped in the dnsk of the evening struck down the great champion of the South, and at the same time struck a mortal blow to the cause of the Confed? eracy. The battle of Sharpsburg turned on the loss of a dispatch by Gen. Lee which was found by McClellan. ? Dr. George F. Sheedy, in an article on ?'American Achievements In Sur? gery" in the April Forum, says that Ephraim McDowell, a Kentucky Sur? geon, was the first man who dared to in? vade the region of the bowels with a knife, and that to Dr. J. Marion Sims, a Southern surgeon, is due the establish? ment of a new school In gynaeology, which is now admitted to bo a true American invention. Sims' name Is associated with more new instruments and original operations than any other of his countrymen. ? The saddest event we have had to chronicle in many years is that which oc? curred near Cottageyille yesterday after? noon about two o'clock. Messrs, W. W. Adamsand Augustus verdier, it appears, had some difficulty about a line fence separating their lands, when the latter shot and killed the former. The gentle? men both have families, were neighbors and good citizens, and we think it best not to enter into details just now. Mr. Verdier gave himself up to the authori? ties and is now in jail at this place.?Col leton Press. . ? The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: "There was a disposition in the New York East Metho? dist Conference on Sdnday to criticise a clergyman because he had run in debt. But when it was proven that he was pas? tor of three churches and had to drive from fourteen to thirty-eight miles every Sunday in order to supply the three pul? pits, and that be was paid only 5300 a year, although he had been in consecu? tive service for nineteen years, there was a turn in his favor. He was made an elder, and a collection amounting to $206 was taken up for him. Think of a cler? gyman In a New York Conference, after nineteen years of service, receiving only $300 a year and expected to keep out of debt. Truly such a man has the spirit of a martyr. He might have made more money as a day laborer." When Baby was sick, wo gave her Cast?rl?: Whcii ah? was a Child, shd cried for Castoria?
