Last Slave Auction. The last great slave auction held in this country occurred just a year and a half before the war-namely in Oc tober, 1859-at the race track in Sa vannah. T??fe slaves were the property .f Pierce Butler, a picturesque and prominent figure at that day in Phila delphia society, who is to-day remem bered as having been the husband of Vanny Kemble, the actress, reader and author. His family name was Mease, tat he inherited a fortune in lands and slaves from his grandfather, Maj. Keroe Butler, of South Carolina, on eondition that he should take the lat ter's name. Butler's inveterate pas sion for gambling got him in to financial difficulties. It is said that he lost $26,000 in a single hand-four deuces against four kings held by his oppo sent. Finally to meet his losses, Butler .vas forced to sell his slaves. There were 988 of these in all. The sale took two days and netted $303,850. Butler had chosen a good time to sell. A year later his negroes would not have leen worth a dollar a head. But the sale would have been more profitable had it not been announced as one of its conditions that no division of fam ilies would be permitted. Hence; in order to secures good slave, buyers ef ten had to take with him infirm or aged relatives. Out of this limitation grew a memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, a well-known Vicksburg trader, bought at the sale a man, his two sisters and his wife, with the guarantee that they should not be separated. j Disregarding this, Pate' sold the sisters, one to Pat Somers, a brother trader, and the other to a resident of St. Louis. What legal rights a negro had in the South were well protected. Somers was told of the guarantee and he sent the girl pack to Pate and de manded his money. A quarrel was the result and Somers was shot dead. Ten days later his nephew killed Pate and died from wounds received. The feud was kept up until every male bearing the name of Pate was wiped out, and then the war liberated the sisters, who were alive in St. Louis in 1887.-Sa vannah Press, Caution to Liquor Seizers. A few days ago, atr North Adams, Mass., the chief constable seized a jar cf rum and arrested the party in whose possession it was found, for selling in toxicating liquors. At the examina tion before the district judge, he swore and testified that he had seized the liquor, and made a detailed statement of the fact. Hon. Shepard Thayer, the attorney for the prisoner, asked him if he knew it was liquor. He re plied "Yes, it was rum." He was then asked how he knew it was rum, and he replied, that he had drank some of it. The prisoner, who was a woman, was then called as a witness in her own behalf, when the following ques tions were put and received: Q, Did you have any liquor in your house when the state constable called there p A. Yes, I had some rum in a jar. Q. How long have you had it ? A. About, six months. "Q. Did yo? have it to sell ? 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 .ut some in a dish, wash the baby in it, and then turn it back into the jar again. Q. Do you mean to say that this was the same liquor of which the state tonstable 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 mau in North Adams that will take offense if you ask him to take a drink. - mu m f At the Telephone. A Tesas farmer entered the office of a Dallas, Texas, merchant prince, says Siftings, and asked him if he would like to buy some fresh butter, which he had brought to town in his wagon. "I really don't know whether my wife wants any butter just now, but I'll find out," replied the merchant, and stepping to the telephone he sailed up his wife, and had some con versation on the subject. Then he turned to the countryman, who had watched the proceedings, and whose face was a study for an artist. "No," said the merchant; "my wife tells me that she has butter enough on hand to last for sometime." ''That's all right, cap. You don't need to buy any butter if you don't want to. All you have got to do is to say so, but you needn't play me for a fool by trying to make me believe you have got your wife locked up in that little box. I reckon I have some sense left if I am from the country. You can't fool me." - mm m rn? Tenderness or aching in thc small of the back is a serious symptom. The kidneys are suffering.

Facts About Our Watches. A Boston jeweler, in a recentadver tiseraent of his watches, includes these facts, which are worth knowing : A watch is the smallest, most deli cate machine that was ever constructed of the same number of parts. About one hundred and seventy-five differ ent pieces of material enter into its construction, and upward of twenty four] hundred separate operations are comprised in its manufacture. Some of the facts connected with its performance are simply incredible, when considered in total. A black smith strikes several thousand blows on his anvil in a day. and is right glad when Sunday comes around; but the roller jewel of a watch makes every day, and day after day, 432,000 impacts against the fork, or 157,680, 000 blows in a year without a stop or rest, or 3,153,600,001) in the short space of twenty years. These figures are beyond the grasp of our feeble intellects, but the marvel does not stop here. It has been esti mated that the power that moves the watch is equivalent to only four times the force used in a flea's jump; conse quently it might be called a four flea power. One horse-power would suf fice to run 270,000,000 watches. Now the balance-wheel of a watch is moved by this four flea-power one and forty-three one-hundredth inches with each vibration-three thousand five hundred and fifty-eight and three quarters miles continuously, in one year. It doesn't take a large can of oil to lubricate the machine on its thirty five-hnndreJi-mile "run." It requires one-tenth of a drop to oil the entire watch for a year's service. But it has great need of that one-tenth of a drop. If you would preserve the time keeping qualities of your watch you should take it to a competent watch maker once every eighteen months. Seeing and Knowing. j An eminent lord chief justice, who was trying a right of way case, had before him a witness-an old farmer who was proceeding to tell the jury that he had "knowed the path for 60 yeer, and my feyther tould I as he heerd my grandfather say" "Stop!" said the judge, "we can't have any hearsay evidence here." "Not!" exclaimed Farmer Giles. "Then how dost thou know who thy J feyther was 'cept by hearsay ?" After the laughter had subsided the J judge said : "Id courts of law we can j only be guided by what you have seen I with your eyes, and nothing more or less." "Oh, that be Wowed for ?. tale !" replied the farmer. "I ha' got a bile I on the back of my neck and I never j seed 'um, but I be prepared to swear that he's there, dang 'un !" This second triumph on the part of j the witness set in a torrent of hearsay j evidence about the footpath which ob tained weight with the jury, albeit I the judge told them it was not testi I mony of any value, and the farmer's I party won.-Irish Times. The Girls Every One Likes. j The most lovable girls in the world I are those of sunny disposition. A few I people like the quiet, thoughtful girl ; I others like the girl who is perpetually J viv?eious and bubbling over with spir I its, hut every one likes the girl with I the cheery, sunny disposition. Girls I of this character are never extravasant I ly boisterous or dismally quiet. They have a pleasant srrile for every one. I They never seem troubled or worried. I Their voice is low and musical, and ! their smile-be they pretty or not j is always sweet. The only trouble that the sunny tempered girl has is the outcome of her popularity. ? Everybody wants to talk to her and j be in her company. Young men are attracted to her without effort on her part, for her character shows itself so plainly in her actions that young meu arc delighted at the cheeriness and sympathy of her nature and are drawn J to her at once. For every reason, then the girl with the sunny disposition, who smiles away the troubles of life, is a favorite, and what is more, old j people are just as charmed by her as young. - Charles Weiss, of Somerville, Mass., petitions the Boston boara of I Aldermen for a license to slaughter herses for the domestic and foreign meat trade, "the business is to be car ried on, and the product to be sold or used for food, packed in barrels for export." If the board grants the li cense, the State health commissioners will be called upon to act, as the final decision rests with them. There is no law against the practice, but this is the fir?t time it has come up fora legislative consideration. A large ex port trade in horse meat is carried on outside of .Massachusetts, the produc going mainly tc? Germany, though its use is extending in all continental countries.

Dorsey, Athens, Ga., writes: "I consider it the best medicine I have have ever used in my family. It does all you claim for it, and even more." A Pair of Blind Men. An evangelist was once addressing an open-air gathering, when, upon the conclusion of his falk a gentleman in the crowd inquired "if there was lib erty to speak?" "There is," replied the evangelist. "If you have any thing to say, come forward." The man pushed his way through the crowd, stepped upon the platform and began his address with these words : "Friends, I do not believe what this man has been talking about. I do not believe in a hell: I do not believe in a judgment; I do not believe in God. I have never seen any of them; therefore, why should I, or you. or anybody else believe in them?" He continued in this strain for several minutes, putting forward the usual infidel arguments, and making, the evangelist could see, considerable im pression upon his hearers. As the infidel finished, another voice was heard in the throng, anda second man pushed forward to the little improvis ed platform. He carried a caue, and others assisted him up the pulpit steps. When he turned his face to the audience the people saw that he was blind. "Friends," cried the blind man, "you say there is a river running not far from this place. There is no such thing; it is not true. You tell me grass and trees arc growing around me where I now stand. There is no such thing; that is also untrue. You tell me there are a great many people standing here. Again, I say, it io not true; there is no person here save myself. I suppose you wonder what I am talking about; but friends, I was born blind; I never have Reen one of you, aid so my talk only proves that I am blind, or I would not say such things. And you," he pursued, turn ing toward the astonished infidel, "the more you talk the more you ex pose your own ignorance, because you are spiritually blind, as I am physi cally." ^_' A Rich Man. A tax collector one day came to a poor minister in order to assess the value of his property, and determine the amount of taxes. The minister asked the man to be seated. Then the latter took out his book and asked: "How much property do you possess9" ''lam a rich man," answered the minister. The official quickly sharpened his pencil and asked intently: "Well, what do you own?" The pastor replied : "I am the possessor of a Saviour who earned for me life everiasting, and who has pre pared a place for us in the Eternal City." "What else?" "Healthy and obedient children." "What else?" "A merry heart, which enables me to pass through life joyfully." "What else?" "That is all," replied the minister. The official closed his book, arose, took his hat, and said: "You are indeed a rich mao, sir, but your prop erty is not subject to taxation." Woes of a Wife Trader. BRIDGETON, N. J., Nov. 5.-Edward Sanderlin and his wife who isn't his wife, are prisoners in the county jail, convicted to-day. At their trial it was developed that Sanderlin and John Heall traded wives a few months ago. All the parties to the trade then lived in Hopewell Township. The two men agreed to the swap in a blacksmith-shop at Deerfield, and the women were willing. There was to be no "boot," but Sanderlin swears his wife took away a barrel of flour when she went to Heall. On August 22 Sanderlin and the wo man he got in trade went to Millville and were married by the Reverend Mr. Weatherly, who confronted and con founded them in court to-day. Then the woman told all about the swap, and and candidly informed the Judge she "got the worst of it." Sanderlio. too, was disgusted with the bargain. Last September he wrote to Heall, who was living with the true Mrs. Sanderlin at Allowaystown: "Let's trade back again." Heall answered: "It's your own fault if you got stuck. I'm very well satisfied." /A neighbor named Miller made com plaint against Sanderlin. A corre spondent visited Sanderlin and the woman in the jail. "Yes, we made the trade," said Sanderlin, who was in very low spirits, "but the woman I got didn't size up to my expectations. If she had kept her mouth shut in Court to-day wo would have been well out of this. I have found out Reall lied considerably about her. I guess my wife is pretty well pleased with Heall. They don't arrest them. I can't see the justice of the thing." Mrs. Heall, or Mrs. Sanderlin No. 2 or whatever her name is, was compar atively cheerful, and said, at once, regretfully and hopefully: "My first mun was thc best, and I'm sorry he traded. 11*1 ever get out of this I'll get a husband to suit me."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 5.-Thc follow ing report from Mr. lianna, American Consul at Porto Kico, has been receiv ed by the Assistant Secretary of State and will be of interest to persons con templating migration to that isla.id. In his report Mr. Ilaoua says : "I am convinced that young men seeking work or positions of any kind should not come to Porto Rico. Such persons as clerks, carpenters, mechan ics and laborers of all grades should stay away from Porto Rico. No Amer ican should com? to Porto Rico ex pecting to strike it rich, and no parson should come here without plenty of money to pty board bills and have enough to take them back to their homes in the United States. "This is a small island, has a popu lation of about a million people, and io tke most densely populated country in the world. There are several hun dred thousand working Porto Ricans ready to fill the vacant jobs and at a low price. There may come a time after the law? of the United States are applied by Congress to this island that this will be a good place for American capital and for Americans to do busi ness, but even then a main shoald have plenty of money who expects to make a business success in Porto Rico. I deem it important that the department cause this suggestion to be made pub lic through the newspapers of the country." - "Say, ma," remarked the small boy, "iBo't it funny that everybody calls my little brother a bouncing baby ?"
