vited to dine at a good sieter's bouse in
company with a brother now in the har?
ness. During the meal theyonng minister
asked for chicken?mistaking a dish of
turkev for chloken. With a droll Bmile
Mr. Dickson said: "Well, 8ister K?, he
is only a ohicken preacher yet; he has not
got up to turkey. You must bear with
him." Needless to say the young divine
made no more mistakes of this character."

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., of New York,
the famous preacher-lecturer, filled his ap?
pointment in tbe Opera House last Thurs?
day night, and was greeted by a large and
appreciative audience. Tbe onbject of his
lecture was "Backbjne," and we believe
every member of tbe audience, with the
exception of any demagogue politician
that may have been present, was fully
convinced that his conception of the sub
jeot was the oorrect one. Mr. Dixon is
certainly a remarkable man and baa few
equals as a lecturer. He has a magnificent
voice, and notwithstanding tbe fact that
he can rattle off words and sentences like
a repeating rifle firing balls, bis articula?
tion Is perfect, and he makes a very deep
impression upon his hearers. His lecture
was filled with solid food for thought, and
no man can hear it without being bene?
fited intellectually, morally and spiritual?
ly. He was one hour and thirty-five min?
utes in delivering the lecture, but it was bo
eloquent, chaste and beautiful we could
hardly believe that he had consumed more
than thirty minutes. An effort was made
to get Mr. Dixon to spend another night
in Anderson, but he declined, with the
promise that he would visit us again in
the near future. If be will fulfill that
Eiromise, we guarantee he will be greeted
y an immense audience.

? A peculiar Enoch Arden story comes
from WaycroBS, Ga. Dr Brown returned
a day or two ago, after an absence of
twenty-five years, and found his wife the
spouse of a well-to-do citizen. Brown
went to France to look after a legacy. A
quarrel with bis lawyer resulted in the
murder of the latter, and Brown remained
in prison for twenty-five years. His first
act on being released was to come to
Georgia to see his wife. She bad long
since given him up as dead and had been
married twice. Her present husband is
A. B. Thomas. Brown's grief on finding
her wedded to another man was intense.
He asked her and her husband to visit
him, but she declined. Brown has gone
away discouraged and heartbroken.
? A report comes from the town of
Ipava, HI., saying a Mr. Budlong, a clerk
at the hotel Bloom field, it Mount Sterling,

size, appeared to weigh but a few pounds.
But it was the property of a traveling
representative of a type foundry and was
filled with type. The map strained his
shoulder when he undertook to lift tbe
light valise, not expecting a heavy weight.
His shoulder and side became inflamed,
and, a few days later, be died, having also
symptoms of pneumonia.
? A dispatch from St. Paul, Minn.,
dated July 4, says: Professor Otto Lug?

They have over 400 of these machines at
work and are gathering in 8,000 bushels
of grasshoppers daily. Thus far the hop.
pera have not invaded the grain fields.
Tbe frequent rains have kept the grass
green and tender, and they have contented
themselves feeding on this.
