In 1834 or 1835 there was a cold day, and it was known all over the country and is still tallied about by the old people as the cold Saturday. Chick? ens froze and fell from their roosts. On the 15th day of April (Sunday), 1849, a heavy snow fell all over the State; vegetation was very much ad? vanced ; rose and dogwood bushes were in full bloom; leaves on the trees were fully half grown. The white snow, intermingled with the green leaver and red roses on the bushes, was a [ beautiful sight. The freeze and frosts j for the next four or five days destroy? ed all vegetation, and the leaves on the trees had the appearance of a fire having swept through the forest. A great many china and persimmon trees were killed; some of the fields of corn were ploughed; wheat was heading out, but all were killed. Notwith? standing all this, a fine crop of corn and cotton was made; early wheat sprouted up from the roots and made half a crop, In 1857 or '58 we had the heaviest snow storm and sleet we had had in fifty years. The snow remained on the ground for six or eight weeks. The forest and fruit trees were very much damaged and broken by the weight of sleet and ice on their limbs. No such damage was recollected with? in the memory of the oldest inhabi? tant. In 1872 and '76 heavy snows fell over this section of country and caused a good deal of suffering among the very poor. In 1881 we had a deep snow, or I might more properly say, a succession of deep snows, which lay on the ground for weeks, and was particularly deep and severe in the mountains. It was said that partridges froze stark and stiff on their roosts, and their necks could be broken off liko so many pipe stems. I did not see them, however, and cannot vouch for the truth of the story. I only tell it as I heard it. Railroad trains were greatly delayed and many accidents occurred, particu? larly on the Air Line road. The coldest weather I ever felt, or I think it was the coldest, was three or four bright days in 1886. No snow, but cold, oh! so cold. The last days of December, 1894, and up to the present time in 1895, have been, as you readers perhaps can tes? tify, a little cold. I am inclined to think if any of our northern friends are down here for pleasure, or on business, they will come to the conclusion that the genial clime of the Sunny South, at this time (barring cyclones and blizzards), is al? most as bleak and vigorous as the cli? mate they left behind. The beautiful snow is falling fast and furious while I write ^Feb. 15). The farmers are away behind with, their ploughing; but, notwithstanding the many drawbacks and disadvantages to which they are subjected, I think they will be benefited by the snow. It will probably help their wheat, and the freezes will pulverize the land and kill the insects and worms, which are so annoying and troublesome some seasons. I predict a good fruit crop and a bountiful harvest to the industrious husbandman. With a large crop of peaches, and sugar at five cents a pound, what a good time he and his family can have, He need not trouble himself about the tariff, or about gold or silver, or whether Cleveland is a good or bad president. He should raise his own hog and hominy, and all he consumes, on his own farm; and if he decides to plant a little cotton? more for amusement than the money I it will bring, at four or five cents a pound?he should prepare his land so it will produce not less, of an ordinary crop year, than one bale to the acre. Then, in a little while, he will be in , dependent and can snap his fingers at I hard times and laugh at the frantic efforts of office seekers. I am about to get on the subject of politics, so will oall a halt.?Southern Christian Advocate. The Doctor's Son. A few days ago the little son of a well-known physician was entertain? ing a playmate at his father's house. As children will, they ransacked every nook and corner of the building. Their ouriosity led them to explore the recesses of a closet in which the doctor keeps his instruments and oth? er personal effects, among which was a complete skeleton. The strange boy was frightened when he first beheld the grinning remnant of what once had been a human being, and started to run away. The doctor's son, how? ever, had seen the skeleton so often that he entertained for it only that feeling of contempt begotten of fa? miliarity, and in a little while suc? ceeded in so allaying the fears of his companion that the youngsters began to handle the thing and rattle its dry bones. "Where did your father get it ?" he finally asked. "I don't know," was'the reply; "but I guess it was his first patient, for he has had it for an awful long time." ? "Here! This horse is blind. Why did you tell me its sight was good?" "I didn't. I said its sight was never better, and it's gospel truth. The beast was born blind." ?

Mr. Harre?'s Hogs, Valosta, Ga., February 17.?A Times representative bad an interview this week with Mr. J. W. Harrell, the big planter of northern Lowndes coun? ty. Mr. Harrell was summing up his past season's work and gave very in? teresting figures and facts on the rais? ing of hogs, to which business the attention of all south Georgia has been -greatly aroused. From December 20th to February 7th he has killed 117 hogs, of a total weight of 16,351 pounds, an average of 139$ pounds each. Beckoning these at 6 cents per pound, he has a return of 981.06, Besides, they brought him forty cans of lard, aggregating one ton of grease, or 2,000 pounds. The sausages, pud? dings, heads, etc., have yielded $100 in cash to his good wife, when sold in Valdosta. Now, the expense of raising this hog crop is the important part. They had access to a large mulberry orchard from April to September. Then they were into 100 acres of pinders. These pinders had been planted in alternate rows with corn, and a full yield of both is secured by proper cultivation. The raising and fattening of the 117 hogs did not actually cost fifty bushels of corn. Mr. Harrell will not plant a seed of cotton this year. He states that his clear profits in farming have al? ways been from the supplies he makes to feed the men who raise cotton on land rented from him. He has great faith in the mulberry orchard and ad? vises the planting of these trees gen? erally?fifty to the farm at least. His favorite time of planting pinders is the dark nights in April. Mr. Har? rell does not/devote all his attention to pork raising, but grows plenty of cattle and his orchards produce pears and pecans that bring in a neat reve? nue. Very few eggs go into hia cotton basket. He believes the hope of the farmer depends on his turning from following after the fleecy staple. His experience and judgement, operating on the large scale that he does, are well worth attention and consideration. An Arapaboe's Meal. For feats of downright big eating I'll back the North American Indian against the world, said a Colorado man. I recall in particular an Arapa hoe Indian who visited our camp by the Fontaine qui Bouille river one night. "We had killed a buffalo calf on that day?a good sized, fat calf, four or five months old?and having skinned and dressed the carcass, had hung it up on a wagon pole. We had carved enough off one shoulder to go along with mountain trout, bacon, bread and coffee for our party of four at supper; the rest of the meat was all there. The Indian came riding up after we had eaten and he looked pretty tired and empty. He had ev? idently traveled a long way with little to eat, for he was dusty, haggard and thin as a shoestring, and there was no doubt when he asked by signs for food that he wanted it badly. We pointed to the buffalo calf, and with his knife he cat off some slices of meat, laid them on the, embers, and as soon as they were a little scorched, ate them ravenously and began again with the calf. He was still cutting and cooking meat and eating when we went off to sleep, and so far as we could tell, he spent the entire night in that occupa? tion, for whenever one or another of us woke up enough to look around, the Indian was either cutting at the calf or eating by the fire. When we turned out in the morning we found that all that was I?ft of that buffalo calf was its skeleton hanging from the pole. The Indian had not carved away its joints and ribs as a white man would have done, but hacked the meat off in small pieces till all was gone. The Indian looked like another per? son. ' His all-night feed had fattened him up so that he looked well filled out, and he moved about with a differ? ent air. He greeted our rising with a "How," and safc stolidly by the fire until one of us gave him a tin cup of coffee, which he took with another "How." While we were at breakfast he mounted his horse and slipped away so silently that we scarcely noticed his going. A Mixed Prayer. At the advanced age of five, Marjorie developed an extraordinary liking for prayers. She had beeu taught not only "Now I lay me," but abo the Lord's Prayer, and then at her request a codicil had been added, praying that "papa and mamma and all my relations" might be protected during the night. She said the prayers just before going to bed, and in the morn? ing, and her mother often heard snatch? es of them as the little girl went about her doll's affairs during the day. It was no doubt partly owing to this familiarity with her prayer, but large? ly to drowsiness, that one night the sleepy little girl electrified her listen? ing mother by hastily cutting short the Lord's Prayer and ending up the ceremony with, "Deliver me from evil, and?all my relations." Her father said she was a philoso? pher, but that she ought to have added relations-in-law. ? Mark Twain's hands were photo? graphed recently and copies sent to each of four experts in palmistry. One discovered "a strain of Southern blood dating back 240 years.'' Of the four only one discovered any sense of humor. ? A Des Moines woman who has been troubled with frequent colds, concluded to try an old remedy in a new way, and accordingly took a table spoonful (four times the usual dose) of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy just before going to bed. The next morn? ing she found that her cold had almost entirely disappeared. During the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one teaspoonful at a time) and at night again took a tablcspoonful be? fore going to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all symptoms of the cold. Since then she has, on several occasions, used this remedy in like manner, with the same good re? sults, and is much elated over her discovery of so quick a way of curing a cold. For sale by Hill Bro* Panama's Desolation. If that often-mentioned New Zeal ander of Macaulay's imagination is tired waiting for the chance to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's from a broken arch of the London Bridge, he might find diversion in a visit to the Isthmus of Panama. He can see there the mask of wealth and the ruin of the works of man to such an extent as may at least whet his appetite for the feast which the English historian suggested might be his. He will see there nature in the act of undoing the labors of man. The great scar on the isthmus is rap? idly healing. Piles of excavated material are washing hack into the channel. The wharves are falling into the water. Acres of machinery are rusting into dissolution. On the isthmus are nearly 1,000 mileBof steel track with locomotives and thousands of dump carts, now half hidden in the tropical growth. Seventy-six great steam shovels stand side by side in the excavation, buried in the luxuri? ant vegetation, so that only the gaunt arms stand up above the green. What I a picture is that to emphasize the potency of man in his struggle with nature ! Whatever he may ? appro? priate for his own use, and whatever form he may give to what he takes, nature will sot to work to repossess it some time. Her slow processes will reclaim it all unless man maintains a constant warfare to keep it. Of all the unnumbered millions of dollars which have been expended on the Panama Canal, it is said 90 per cent, is going to waste, and will be utterly lost unless the work on the vast enterprise is resumed actively. Some of the machinery has been hous? ed and cared for. Most of it has been abandoned where last used, and where it is now rotting or rusting its useful? ness away.?Omaha Bee. ? One of the few instances of a stream running up hill can be found in White county, Ga. Near the top of a mountain is a spring, evidently a Biphon, and the water rushes from it with sufficient force to carry it up the side of a very steep hill for nearly half a mile. Reaching the crest the wa? ter flows on to the east, and eventual? ly finds its way into the Atlantic ocean. Of course, it is of the same nature as a geyser, but the spectacle of a Btream of^water flowing up a steep incline can probably be found no? where else in the country, and ap? pears even more remarkable than the geysers of Yellowstone.?Cincinnati Tribune. ? The experience of Mr. R. T>' Whitley, an influential and prominent citizen of Martindale, North Carolina, will no doubt be perused with interest by people in all parts of the country. For years he has been subject to vio? lent attacks of inflammatory rheuma? tism ; on the first of February he had an attack, which settled in one of his knees and caused almost unbearable pain, for two days. He obtained a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm from W. M. Houston & Co., merchants at Mecklinburg City, N. C. He writes that it gave almo?t immediate relief and gives Chamberlain's Pain Balm the highest praise, and advises all persons troubled with like afflictions to use it and get relief.

If she unites in mutual endea? vors, or rewards his labors with an endearing smile, with what confidence will he resort to his merchandise or his farm, fly over the land, sail upon the seas, meet difficulty, encounter danger, if he knows he is not spend? ing his strength in vain, but that his labor will be rewarded by the sweets of home. Solicitude and disappoint? ment enter into the history of every man's life ; and he is but half provid? ed for his voyage who finds but an as? sociate for happy hours, while for months of darkness and distress no sympathizing partner is prepared. ? A little Buffalo girl was not feel? ing very well and her parents suggest? ed that she had the chickenpox, then prevalent.

Id Caso or Nose-Bleed, Bleeding from the nose is caused by the congestion of the lining membrane of the nose. This congestion may be the result of catarrh, or, more properly, of the diseased condition of the nasal mem? branes which is due to catarrh; or it may accompany congestion of some organ of the bodj', as the liver. It may also result from heart disease, or even from dyspepsia. Nose-bleed in children is commonly supposed to indicate nothing more than that the child tires easily, or is overactive. Yet oven these terms ex? press more than is obvious upon a casual reading of the words. If a child tires easily, or, in other words, if the least overexcrtion at play or at study results in a more or less severe attack of nosc-blccd, the child must be in a weakened state; while, on the other hand, if he is ac? customed to allow his play or his studies so to absorb his interest as to make him forget his fatigue, he is placing an injudicious strain upon his constitution. In either case he will be benefited by a curtailment of work, and an in? crease in the amount of time alloted for rest, until his body is more fully developed No child's mind can be developed faster than the body except at the expense of his health. Nose-bleed occurring in middle life and old age is a more serious thing, as it indicates a graver condition of affairs. It is usually coincident with disease of the liver, heart or kidneys. Its cure is, of course, dependent upon the restoration of the organs to a nor? mal condition.

It is a common saying that, in full blooded persons, an occasional nose? bleed is beneficial; and this may in a certain sense be irue, inasmuch as the nasal membranes are thus relieved of congestion. But. it is safe to say that bleeding from the nose is never any? thing but a sign of weakness. The treatment of an attack of nose? bleed consists in absolute rest and cool application:? to the head. The extremities should be warm. The head should not be held down over a basin, as this favors the flow of blood. One of the simplest and most effectu? al methods of stopping an ordinary attack is for the person to stand erect, with the head in the usual upright position, and the hands extended nt length directly over the head.?Youth's Companion. ?

I have seen them in use in great hostelrics of the East, whose owners wouldn't hesitate for a mo? ment to spend ton dollars for a desk ornament to hold pens used by the guests in registering. The mixture of starch, glucose and water iu the po? tato seems well adapted to take up the impurities of ink, and to keep the pen point clear and bright, while the al? kaloid of the potato, known as solan ine, doubtless has something to do with it in the same line. These ele? ments readily take up the tannate of iron, which is the body substance of ink. Chemically speaking, starch is the first base of a potato, and sugar or glucose is its second base. Thus is the humble potato finding another way in which to serve the uses of mankind.
