Why do you say very ?" "Because my dear little wife and I are bound together by wires." "Latimer Leary, you talk enig ! mas." I "Then, sir, to be plain as a primer, I will inform you that I was married by telegraph!" "You don't say ?" "Yes, I do." "Then tell the company all about it." "I will, with pleasure. Ladies and gentlemen, my wife is a second cou? sin, and is also a Leary. She once resided in the city of Indianapolis, while I was a resident of Centerville, in the same State. I was a bachelor of 30, but full of romance and general love because I had not made a con? centration. " 'Why don't you take a wife ?' was continually buzzing in my ears. 'Whom will I take ?' said I. To this query a score of my friends would say, 'Your relative, Kate Leary.' "'Kate Leary? Why, she i? my cousin 1' " 'Only a second cousin,' they would retort, 'and your opposite, Latimer. Kate is a blonde, and you are us dark as Erebus, or the ace of clubs.' "I had never seen Miss Leary; but this continual association of the young lady with my wedded life had an in? fluence. "One day a member of congress ex olaimed: " 'Mr. Leary, were I single, I would assuredly pay court to your magnificent cousin. As I am married and you are my best friend, I ear? nestly hope you will possess the lux? ury.' "At this period I was a merchant. Having discharged a thieving clerk, I was so confined to my store that a journey to Indianapolis was out of the question. I was growing wild to sec one whom all praised and so many wished me to wed. "In a few days from the call of my legislative friend, his brother, a noted judge, appeared at my store. The judge was also my devoted ally, a po? sition intensified by his recollection of being educated by my deceased fath? er. "Drawing a photograph from his coat, said he, 'I wish to - show you ?something nice. There, what do you say i?o that ?' "I told him it was absolutely en chai-.ting.. " 'This, my dear friend, is Miss Kite Leary, the lady I wish you to many.' " 'Tell me,', exclaimed I, 'is she? is fehe aiyft&tf claim for her'?' f' 'Myfflefeitfnd/honestly as I val? ue] fc.'uth, I have not heard her suffi? ciently praised.' " 'Why don't some man try his inck r " 'I 'am glad you asked. Simply because she ia overcourted and con? sequently hard to please. She is ro? mantic, and, you clearly sec, not win nable by ordinary methods.' " 'You say ehe is very particular ?' " 'She is, sir.' " 'Then good-bye for me.' " 'Not at all j she is rapturous over your likeness, and sends her cou? sinly love, with an invitation to visit her. I pledge you I omitted not a single good point in your body, calibre or character.' " 'So you consider her photograph accurate ?' " 'I can tell you it don't flatter her. She has extraordinary beauty, and the kind that is more striking in anima? tion'or conversation.' "While mutual friends in Centre ville were lauding my fair cousin, ?nutual friends in Indianapolis were loud in their eulogies of me, and pre? paring her mind for an alliance. "I am not self-conceited. Believ? ing Buch concord to be born of an ob? vious fact, I settled on the idea of marrying this wonder in beauty, soul and accomplishment. "My intent was quickly confirmed upon hearing that a very wealthy and influential banker from Gotham was in the melting mood. I remember it was at midnight. I hinted from my store the last batch of chronic loun? gers., and selected the best stationery in my establishment. I. was to write my first letter to Kate. "From all that had passed, a fine style was easy. I always flattered myself on my syntax, and' will, u:a egotistically affirm that my missive was at once tender, audacious, digni? fied, wild and intense. It struck her like an electric shock. The banker was laughed out of competition, and your humble servant was master of the sit? uation. "Such a reply as I received ! Well ?you must see?you Bhall see it. I have good gas works, but I am inade? quate. In a brief time we learned that each knew the other well. This much said by so many, mutuals, su peradded by to our photographs and letters, made us a comprehending couple; in fact, we' confessed our love?a full, round, ripe and luscious article. There could be ho unsafety in the case. Our lineage was com? mon, and every fact known. What followed is clear?an. engagement ?yes, between unseen lovers and cousins. "I was 'dying' to fold her to my heart; but my solus condition and maturing appointments postponed it indefinitely. What did you say ? Why didn't she visit one of our friends at Cen treville ? I answer you cheerfully. She was an oddity. She had her no? tions and would entertain them. Though we were plighted, siae. declar? ed that it should not be said that she made the first visit. Many believed she was right. I don't argue that point, but merely answer a question. "Weeks passed, letters were num? erous and copiously saccharine. The time arrived when I could bear my single condition no longer. What if some one were to cut me out at the 11th hour ? With such a love, what ?would become of me ? I was determin? ed to own her, even if I did not see her iu a decade. "An idea dawned?a brilliant one. It was to compass a speedy marriage, '? and to satisfy her thirst for romance. After a flood of tenderness by way of dramatic prcoration, I wrote: '-, my adored one, let us depart from the stale routine, and wed by tele? graph.' "The idea took her by storm. Her answer was characteristic It ran thus : 'Darling, T will. The idea is savory, but is it legal ?' "Immediately I sent formy friend, the judge. Soon he faced me ; said I, 'Judge, is a marriage by telegraph legal ?' "'Certainly, sir ; I see no object? ion to ,a contract by telegraph. I readily perceive how all the require? ments can be accomplished.' " 'Will you state this opinion on paper, and prescribe an electric wed? ding V " 'With pleasure, sir.' "The judge understood me and gladly complied. The result I for? warded to Kate by return mail, and soon received word that on the follow-1 iug Thursday she and proper authori tywould' present themselves at the Indianapolis office according to said formula, there to enter upon the holy state of matrimony. "I tell you the appointed day was a great one among the mutual friends at each end of the wire. The affair was so novel, that all was eclipsed by the contemplation of it. "Clergymen and witnesses assem? bled at the termini. There, in full costume, two unseen lovers were tobe made man and wife. The instrument began its tick, tick, ticking. The operator read, clergyman put ques? tions, I answered ; the instrument did more work, and soon I was saluted as the husband, of Kate Leary. Happy was I, though the possessor of a lady I never beheld. "One week passed, and I was still without help. My brain was be? coming frenzied; I must see Kate, and I must go to her first, for it was her fiat, and well did I know what a Leary was. "By entreaty, I prevailed upon a brother merchant to loan me his clerk. Soon as he put his foot in the store, I put mine in the stage, en route for the capital of Indiana. "When about 12 miles from the oity, we stopped for a passenger. It was a young lady. Such a being I never beheld. She resembled my likeness of Kate, but far more beauti? ful. I own my heart went out to her. Call me fickle, say what you please, and I will bear it. I repeat, my heart gushed forth in a flood of love. "Here was a fix 11, a married man, going to see his telegraphed bride, and as telegraphically in love with another woman. I began to repent my.haste, and when too late, saw the crime of marrying one I had never put eyes upon. What would I do ? What could i do? The lady was already mar? ried, for I heard the driver call her madam. "How she eyed me ! I spoke about the coach window being raised to suit her. She thanked me in tones that acted like arterial stimulant. I was gone. Much conversation followed, and I was a goner. I saw she was giving me some sweet, yet pleading looks. Heavens! thought I, she is unhappily mated. Suppose I give her my sympathy. Yet should I jeopard? ize myself -before such transcendent charms ? Suppose I betray my love, how would I feel when in the pres? ence of my wife, and what power would I confer to a total stranger ? I had it. I would betray nothing, but offer consolation to a flower most neg? lected. We were the only passengers, and what a good chance. " 'Madam,' said I, 'please pardon me, but you seem to exist under a cloud.' "She sighed deeply. " 'May I ask if you are a widow ?' " 'Well, sir, not a widow; though I don't live with my husband.' " 'Poor soul !' continued I. "She put her handkerchief to her mouth. I thought about half of it; but of course it was to stop her emotion. " 'You are not happy, madam ?' " 'Very far from it, sir ; I am mis? erable.' "So was I?miserable to put my arm about her neck. " 'Where do you reside, madam ?' " 'In Indianapolis." " 'Have you friends there ?' " 'Many, sir.' " 'No doubt of it. Allow me to ask. do you like this husband ?' " 'Devotedly, aix.\ " 'Then why don't you live with him ?' " 'I would be glad of the chance, sir.' " 'When did you sec him last ?' " 'I have never seen him, sir.' "Here she again half swallowed the handkerchief.. " 'Never seen him ? Why, what do you mean.' " 'Sir. have you never read of a telegraphic wedding ?' " 'Julius Caesar !' cried I. 'Tell me; are you Mrs. Kate Leary ?' " 'I am !' " 'Then fall over here !' And I took her to my bosom convulsively. "As I relaxed, she said, 'Go on, Lat? imer. I knew you from your photo? graph.' "I will not prolong this, but merely remark that Kate is my next to the Great One above. I have never felt ashamed of my inconsistency, and would not lose her for all the wealth of the Orient. I ever consider us, as bound together by 'wire;' and wnen asked if I am a married man, I always feel like saying 'Very.' " Animal Sentries. The too eager' sportsman is often balked of a shot by the watchful sen? tinel posted to guard the flock or the herd against surprise. Posting a sen? try is the most universal of the in? stincts which use organization as a means of defense. Chamois, ibex and other mountain antelopes always post a sentinel. Always when a herd of seals are sleeping on the rocks there is a watcher. This instinct, the Spec? tator says, survives even in animal captivity, an the following illustration will show. "When the prairie dogs at the voo occupied a.fimall paddock, they always kept a sentinel on duty, although he seldom uttered his warning whistle, having learned probably that the visi? tors would not come inside the railing. The prairie dogs at the Jardin d'Ac elimatisation of Paris observe the same precaution." As is well known, wild geeBe are particularly wary in this respect. Mr. St. John says that "they seem to act in so organized and cautious a manner when feeding or roosting as to defy all danger. When a flock of wild geese has fixed on a field of newly sown grain to feed in, before alighting they make numerous circling fights, and the least suspicious object prevents them from pitching. "Supposing that is all right and they do alight, the.whole flock for a Ep?ce of a minute or two remain mo? tionless, with erect head and neck, reconnoitering the country around. They now appear to have made up their mind that all is safe and con? tented to leave one sentry, who either stands on some elevated part of the field or walks slowly with the rest? never, however, venturing to pick up a single grain of corn, his whole ener? gies being employed in watching. The most curious part . lias to follow. When a sentry thinks, he has perform? ed a fair share of the duty," he gives the bird nearest him a sharp peck." Mr. St. John declares that he has seen the sentry occasionally pull out a bunch of feathers when the first hint was not attended to and at the same time utter a quemlous^ cry. Wild swans are almost as cautious as wild geese. The signal of danger differs with the species of animals, but the alarm note seems to be universally un? derstood by the sentinel's followers. Wild geese aud swans have a peculiar call, as of a bugle; rabbits and sheep stamp on the ground; wild ducks utter a low and cautious quack; elephants, ibex and mountain sheep whistle.? Rod and'Gun. ? A typical Southern Africau household described by Olive Schrein? er, had an English father, a half Dutch mother with a French name, a Scotch governess, a Zulu cook, a Hottentot housemaid, and a Kaffir stable boy, while the little girl who waited on the table was a Basuto. ? There is sufficient energy latent in a' cubic foot of air to kill a regiment. The Pay of Preachers, Mr. Henry King Carroll, who has been in charge of the religious statis? tics of the century, furnishes for the August .Forum an article on "The Pay of Preachers," which supplies inter? esting facts concerning the support of the clergy. The Society of Friends is adopting the nearly universel custom, though for a long time it has been the only body which did not provide regu? lar clergy for its people. The minis? terial salaries are generally higher in cities than in towns and villages. The Bishops form a class of ministers by themselves. The largest Episcopal income is $12,500, including house rent, but the lowest is $3,000 a year, with $300 for travelling expenses. The average income of a Bishop is $5,000 a year. The salaries of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church average $5,000 and those of Roman Catholic Bishops range frem $3,000 to $5,000 and a house. The college presidents receive as incomes $5,000 and upward. The Methodists have 16,500 trav? elling preachers, and their average salary is $847, though the income of some of the foremost Methodist preach? ers is from $5,000 to $7,000. The vast number receive on an average not more than $500 a year. The Congre gationalists are very liberal toward their ministers. The averago salary in Massachusetts is $1,474, and there are two churches in Boston which pay $7,000 each. There arc in the denom? ination thirty-six pastorates which yield each $5,000 and upward. The average salary among the Presbyte? rians is between $1,000 and $1,200 a year. They have one parish, that of Dr. John Hall, of New York, which pays $15,000 a year and a parsonage, and as a rule their ministers are liber? ally provided for. The wealthiest denomination in the United States is the Jewish, but it makes no returns of its salaries. The average clergy in the Episcopal Church obtain $800 a year, but in many cases the income is $10,000, and in a large number of instances it is $6,000. The Baptists pay very low salaries. Prob? ably no Baptist pastor in any of our cities receives more than $6,000, with one - exception. The Lutherans pay small salaries, but usually give in fees and other perquisites quite as much as in the salary. In only a single in? stance do they pay $6,000 a year. These facts are the essential fea? tures of the pay of the clergy in the United States. They show that when compared with the incomes of the physicians and the lawyers, except where the great prizes are concerned, the clergy are quite as well off pecuni? arily as any other great professional class. The minister gets half-rates or reductions at many points where he would not think of asking it if he were in any other profession, and his social and educational privileges are of the highest order. On the whole, the clergy throughout the country have nothing to complain of. They are well and fairly treated by the peo? ple. In the division of such a large amount of money, and in the exigen? cies of life, it is impossible that there should not arise instances of hardship where the salary is too scant for the clergyman, but wherever those cases exist there are proper methods of removing the difficulty, and a vigor? ous use of Christian common sense applied to the situation usually brings relief.?Boston Herald. Caution to Liquor Selzers. A few days ago, at North Adams, Massachusetts, the chief constable seized a jar of rum and arrested the party in whose possession it was found, for selling intoxicating liquors. At the examination before the District Judge, he swore and testified the ^ he had seized the liquor, and made a de? tailed statement of the facts. Hon. Shepard Thayer, the attorney for the prisoner, asked him if he knew it was liquor. He replied "Yes, it was rum." He w.ts then asked how he knew it was rum, and he replied, that he had drank some of it. The pris? oner, who was a woman, was then called as a witness in her own behalf, when the following questions and answers were put and received: Q. Did you have any liquor in your house when the State constable called there ? A. Yes, I had some rum in a jar. Q. How long have you had it. . A. About six months. Q. Did you have it to toll ? A. Oh ! no. I don't sell liquor. Q. What did you have this rum for? A. I kept it to wash the baby. Q. Had you ever washed the baby in this rum ? A. O, yes, often ! I used to turn some out in a dish, wash the baby in it, and then turn it back in the jar again. Q. Do you mean to say that this was the same liquor of which the State constable drank ? A. The very same. There was great laughter in the court, and the State constable declared he would seize no more liquor that was kept in a jar. He is about the only man in North Adams that will take offense if you ask him to take a drink. The Beauty or Death. If there is one thing especially of which many people possibly cannot believe that, under any circumstances, it would seem beautiful, I suppose it must mean death. That must always be dreadful. Men seldom see any^ misery in life so great as to outweigh* the misery or leaving it. But yet it comes to all of us that He who made death made it, like all things else, to be beautiful in His time. When a life has lived its days out in happi? ness, grown old with constantly accu? mulating joys, and then, at last, before decay has touched it, or the ground grows soft under its feet, the door opens, and it enters into the new youth of eternity; when a young man has tried his powers here and dedica? ted them to God, and then is called to the full use of their perfected strength in the very presence of the God whom he has loved; when a man has lived for his brethren, and the time comes that his life cannot help them any longer, but his death can put life into dead truths; and send enthusiasm in? to fainting hearts; when death comes as a.rest to a man who is tried with a long fight, or as victory to a man who leaves his enemies baffled behind him on the shore of time?in all these times, is not death beautiful? "No? thing in all his life became this man like leaving it," they said of one who died.?Phillips Brooks. ? I know an old soldier who had chronic diarrhoea of long standing to have been permanently cured by tak? ing Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kcmcdy, says Edward Shurapik, a prominent druggist of Minneapolis, Minn.

Have Ton Indigestion ] ''Troubled with indigestion, are you ? Feel all puffed up. eh ? Well, it's a pity that some one couldn't treat you the way my brcther-in-law's wife treated her chickens. That was when they lived out in Lcwiston, Pa. ''Going to tell us another Btory now, I suppose, like those about catching herring in the grass and hunting shad with a dog and gun, ain't you?" Without paying any attention to this slighting remark the Jcrscyman went on. "My brother-in-law's wife had a fine crop of chickens that summer. They were all hatched that spring and were growing well, when one day the whole flock got at a bag of dry corn meal and filled their crops full of it. The first my brother-in-law's wife knew of this was when the meal be? gan to swell and turn sour, and the whole troop of chickens were wad? dling around with crops twice their regular size and every chicken look? ing like the bass drummer in a Ger? man band. You see, the chickens had cither got at water too soon or else didn't have gravel enough in their crops to grind up the meal, and it wouldn't digest and seemed likely to burst them. "There was no one by to give help or advice, .and my brother-in-law's wife was not going to lose that lot of more than 100 fine chickens if she could help it, so she started right in to do the best she could. The chil? dren caught the chickens and brought them to her, and with her buttonhole scissors she cut a slit in each ore of their crops. She squeezed out the cornmcal, washed their crops out and sewed them up again. The chickens seemed grateful. They were kept quiet for a couple of days, fed lightly, and every one of them recovered."? Neio York Sun. ? Mother?Jane, you must choose between the two. Will you marry the man who loves you, or the man who can dress you ? "Mamma, as an up-to date girl, I must reply that although love is a very desirable thing, clothes are an absolute necessity." ? One of the strangest fractures known to the profession was recently treated at the Pennsylvania hospital, where a young man appeared with his arm broken between the shoulder and the elbow. He said thai; he had tried to throw a stone that was too heavy for him and in bringinghis arm around the bone snapped. It seeius hardly possible that the elbow and shoulder joints should be firm enough to stand a strain that would break the bone, and the doctors decided that there must have been some softening of the bone. Such cases have happened be? fore, but it has always been with growing boys, whose bones are brittle enough to break at any unusual strain. ? Steel is now cheaper than iron. It hardly seems possible, remarks the Boston Cultivator, but the estimates of cost in a recent bidding for a bridge in Pennsylvania to be made with steel strings and steel rivets was lower than a like estimate for the same bridge made with iron stringers and iron rivets. Four bids were made, and in each case the bridge could be made cheaper of steel than of iron. The successful bid was $1,965, as against $2,157, which was the lowest bid for the iron bridge. Owing to the greater strength of steel, the weight of metal in the steel bridge is much less than it must necessarily be for one of iron.

One day the lady teacher endeavored to make the class compre? hend the omnipresence of God. She explained to them that God was every? where. "Now, my dear children, suppose you all go out of this room, except myself and I stay in here. Am I alone?" asked the female teacher. "No," exclaimed one of the little girls; "Mr. Smith will be with you." [ ? Nutmeg hickory is the strongest wood which grows in the United States. ?

The Successful Advertizer! Is the man who writes something the people will read, and reading, believe. In this age of education and enlightenment, when men read and think for themselves, all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper than your competitors buy them," being the "only competent dealers in the line," ?'handling better stuff than anybody else," Ac, is mere clap trap, and subjects the writer and the firm back of it to the contempt of all right-thinking people. The man who has something to offer, and then tells the folks about in a plain, business way, is the man who "gets there," and getting there, stands. Lots of people handle Faint. Some handle one kind, some another, but they all realize, if they have any business sense at all, that in order to make that business a permanent success it is absolutely neces? sary to give the people the very best ma? terial. This we have tried to do, and at a price that puts it in the reach of all. In this connection we call attention to the fact that crops are about laid by, time is plentiful, and a little paint not only freshens and beautifies, but improves won? derfully the sanitary condition of the premises. If your house is all right may? be the fence needs a coat. A little Paint would keep that old buggy from falling down, and the wagon might last a year or two longer by spending seventy-five cents or a dollar in Paint on it. Remember this, the longer you put it off the more it takes and the less good it does* Remember another thing, it costs just as much, and takes just as much time, to have cheap paint put on as it does good Paint. Always buy the best, even if you pay more for it. HILL BROS., Druggists, ANDERSON, 8. 0. COLUMBIA FEMALE COLLEGE, COLUMBIA, S. C. FALL Session opens September 27,1891.

This business of the apparently dead returning again to life is becoming too common to bo ovon startling: "Passaic, N. J., August 7.?Young August Yandevelde was ill with dysentery for two weekti and nobody was surprised on Monday when it was announced that ho was dead. His father, who is a well-to-do hotel keepor, determined to give him a grand funeral. While an undertaker was getting the body ready for its polished oak casket this evening ho noticed signs of lifo. lie called the parents and they revived the boy, who declared that he had been in a pleasant sort of dream. lie will, it is thought, soon be entirely well. ? The cost of the Debs campaign against capital, railroads and some other important interosts is set down at $79, 000,000, and, as careful computations have been made covering the losses sus? tained on both sides, the figuros may bo accepted as reasonably correct. Contrary to general expectation, the item credited to the destruction of railroad property? 2,500,000?is an insignificant part in the total. The consequential or indirect damages mako up the loss account, how? ever, and will novor be paid. The rail? road employees are out ?20,000,000 in wages, other employees lose ?.15,000,000, and labor, least able to sustain tho bur? den, sacrifices ?55,000,000 and got*, the worst of it. ? Tho climate ot tho United States is perfectly adapted to the growth of cork wood, and large plantations of it have been started in Florida and California, but a tree attains the age of 20 years bo fore the first cutting takes place, and then the yield is rough, uneven and coarse in texture. It can be used only for rustic work or as a tanning sub? stance. All the cork wood imported into America comes from Spain and Por? tugal. There cork are groves in clouth America, but they have not been under cultivation as long as the European ones, and the wood is consequently coarse and inferior in quality. Algiers has fine cork wood, but the cost of transporting it such a tremendous distance renders it practically unavailable for the American market. For Sale by rodd & Evasia.
