The Wliiimiiii; Tost in OHIT Days. Thc Laurens correspondent of thc Charleston Sunday Nows furnishes this inten sting story of the past: In t'urearly fifties a young lawyer just admitted to practice was employ ed to defend a white man charged with stealing a bushel of oats from a rich planter. The whipping post was the punishment for such ol?cnses and there was no alternative penalty. The proof was plain and the young law yer's bumble client was promptly con victed. When the verdict was au nouced the solicitor came to thc attor ney and whispered: "li-, it will never do for that white man to be publicly whipped." "Well, what's to be done about it?" said the lawyer. "I'll arrange it," tho solicitor re plied. A brief consultation ensued between the solicitor, the prosecuting witness, the Judge and the sheriff. Then the solicitor came badi to the lawyer. "Explain to your client that if he will break from the sherill' and never stop running lill he crosses the Savannah Uiver ami never cross back again, he will not be pursued. Tho State will be satisfied if th?' man leaves the country. As tho sheriff takes him to jail from the court house let him lag behind; the sheriff will walk 20 feet in front. When they reach thc corner of the alley leading to thc jail ho must run and never look back. There will be a mock chase, but ali your man need do is to run." The young lawyer explained thc programme to thc convict, who stolid ly assented. When the sheriff took him awny the lawyer went out on the court house steps to see the fun. The sheriff, as promised, walked ahead of tho prisoner without looking back. They approached the alley-corner. Tho sheriff passed it. Tho convict reached it and, with eyes to the front marched deliberately behind the sheriff into the jail. In duo time he took his threshing and went home. Ile preferred it to leaving Laurens County. A curious sequel, though, is that he did later go to another State and there accumulated a good prop erty aud was a highly respected citi zen. The editor of Thc Mountaineer, who was then a boy and a resident of Lau rens, remembers this incident very distinctly, as this was tho only white man he ever saw punished at the whipping post, which in this instance was a tree that stood on tho Houth side of thc court house and Bhaded the sheriff's office. Mr. Oswald Richard son was the sheriff, ono of the kindest hearted men that eve." lived in Lau rens, and like tho solicitor he did not want to see a white man publicly whipped, much less to inflict the pun ishment himself. The boys of the villago gathered around in much awo at the proceeding, and the sheriff ap plied the lash thirty-nine times to thc back of the culprit, but it was said at tho time that he was well able to hit harder licks if tho law had ve quired it. Our recollection is that it was in the forenoon of a bright, sunshiny day, and when the law had been com plied with Mr. Richardson told tho young man that he wua free to go where he pleased and taking with him a small bundle of clothes ho set out Loss of Flesh When you can't ?eat break fast, ?take Scott's Emulsion* When you can't ?eat bread and butter, ?take Scott's Emulsion.

CHEMISTS, l'or his home in the western part of Laurens. He was a strong, athletic, handsome young man, and he walked away with a linn step to his humble country home, where he tarried only long enough to bid good-bye to his relatives and went immediately across the Havannah, taking up his abode in Hart County, Ca., where he prospered and was much respected by his neigh bors. Some years afterwards wc heard his name called at Anderson, whero we wore then living, and a prominent mer chant gave us an introduction to his well-to-do customer from across thc river, but bc did not perceive that each of us recognized the name of tho other, and both were thinking of the sorrowful incident at Laurens, though never a word passed between us in reference to it. Wc saw him often in the years following upon the public square at Anderson, selling twenty or thirty bales of cotton at a time, hauled there in his own wagons drawn byline, large mules, which told thc story of his prosperity.-Greenville Moun taineer. riants That Made History. Rather more than sixty years ago, says Stray Stories, a tiuy fungus-it self a illarit-appeared in Ireland and fastened itself on the potato. Foster ed by a cheerless summer, the fungus spread until thc whole potato crop, tho mainstay of the Irish, waB ruined and thc resulting farmino of 1845 stands out in history as a time of over whelming trouble. UH relief occupied the whole atten tion of the British ministry and when the famine was over a quarter of the whole population lay slain by tho fun gus. And the potuto disease acted in two distinct ways on history. It had an immediato effect in helping the re peal of the corn laws and throwing the country open to free trade. In thc second place, it had a great and unforeseen effect on another con tinent, for there then started a stream of emigrants across thc Atlantic which has steadily continued. At the beginning of the seventeenth century the English and the Dutch were rivals for tho possession of a cer tain little island, Amboyna, iu thc East Indies, because of the cloves that grew upon it. At this date the production of cloves was extremely limited, and finally tho Dutch mas sacred a small English colony estab lished there. This aroused the bitter feeling in England against the Dutch and, as a great historian tells us, fur nished a popular way for two wars. A sudden passion for tulips turned thc heads of the usually placid Dutch men in the seventeenth century, and the tulipomania is a well recognized event in Dutch domestio history. It was a time when the desire to pos sess an uncommon tulip was sufficient to drive men to most extremo lengths of speculation, to cause the ruin of noble houses and to carry whole fami lies to misery. In fact, so adute did the rage become that the Dutoh Gov ernment was obliged to step in with a heavy hand and by stringent measures allay this fever of the tulip. The tea plant was thc "last straw" which brought about the independence of the United States as we all know. Tho poppy involved England in the opium war with China at the begin ning of the reign of Queen Vitoria, Though the war was an unjust one, yet it did ultimate good in opening up China to foreign influence. i;nd trade. Sugar, ootton and tobacco have all influenced history, for these three plants were practically responsible for the slave trade of modern times. Johnny Was Discouraged. An aftermath feature of every con gressional campaign is the crop of good old stories-ancient and honor: able, that have done yoeman service in many a p ditioal campaign-which como back to the Capital cloakrooms ic new garb, says the Philadelphia Prens. Here is ono brought baok by Mr. Landis, of Indiana: .'A school teacher out in my district was giving the class a dissertation on the office of president and the self made men who had filled it. "Now all who would like to be pres ident when they grow up, will raise their hands," said the tcaoher. Every boy responded save one. " 'Why, Johnny, don't you wish to bo president?' " 'Shucks; 'tain't no use for me to wish,' said Johnny, disgruntedly. " 'Why? Any poor boy might be oome president.' "Not me,' said Johnny, 'I'm a Dem ocrat.* " And then the old members in the group arose and walked sadly away. - The man who introduced an anti kissing bill in the Virginia legislature is named B.

Wanted) Information. M. Bloulct tells this story illustrat ing thc evils of strong drink: A young New Yorker of good family and good social position had a great fond ness for drink. His family and his friends had done almost everything to break him of the habit, with no suc cess. A friend suggested they try and give him a severe shock. AB a means to this end they procured a collin, and the next time he came home under the influence thcyt dressed him like a corpse, put him in the collin, darkened the room, but placed a few lighted candles around tho coffin and left the friend to watch him. Ile awoke shortly and appeared greatly puzzled by thc surroundings, when, catching sight of somebody in the room, he remarked: "Say, where am I?" "You're Uead," answered his friend. "Dead! um! that's awkward. Say, how long have 1 been dead?" "Three days." "Um! and arc you dead, too?" "Yes; I'm dead, too." "Um! that's funny! Say, howlong have you been dead?" "Three weeks." "Um, good! good! If you have been dead three weeks andi have only been dead three days,.you must know more about tho place than I do. Where can wo go and get a drink?" New Y'ork Times. Inconstant Waters of the Mississippi. There is little reason, however, for a settlement in these parts to bestir itself. Its futuro is too uncertain. The town that is on the river this year may be on a useless swamp thc next; the town that is five miles in land, with no dream of thc Mississippi, may bo awakened any morning by the roar of a steamboat whistle. There are many points in desperate straits to-day. Tiptonville, Tenn., a town of moro than ordinary prosperity, de spending altogether on the steamboat service, once on tho main channel, now finds herself, because of a cutoff, on a shallow backwater which goes dry as her streets in low-season. Which brings mc again to the riv er's vagaries. To begin, its crooked ness if something appalling. Ap proaching Cairo from tho north by boat, the stranger, seeing the city's elevators and church-spires within a stone's throw, is pretty certain to rush into thc cabin to assemble the belong ings when he has still before him a tortuous ride of two hours. Y'ct this phenomenon is not wholly without ad vantages. The citizen of before-men tioned Tiptonville who misses thc up bound boat at breakfast time does not worry over the acoident. Ho calmly spends tho morning at home, then, after dinner, trudges four'or five miles across oountry to Slough Landing, ar riving there in plenty of time-likely with an hour or two to spare-to oatoh his boat which in the interval since leaving Tiptonville, has been wander ing through some thirty miles of bends. Down in the Great Bends country, below Memphis, the south going Bteamer at the end of a half days' travel may be farther from the Gulf of Mexico as the orow flies than she waa at the beginning. One may go from Memphis to Orleans by rail the distance is 400 miles-in a single night. By steamboat it is, at best, a four days run; the Mississippi dilly dallies through exaotly 800 miles of twists and turns between the two cities.-Scribners. Made Rich by a Whipping. Judicious application of the birch is supposed to have wrought wonders in the characters of many boya, but it remains for a British journal to reoord a single whipping that made its victim a millionaire. Twenty years ago, a man named Mago waa a English collector of insects in Guatemala, and the British Vioe Consul at San Jose. One day Com mandante Gonzales ordered him to ap pear before that official. Mago sent him word that he would oome in a short time. This incensed the com mandante, and he sont a file of soldiers after the inseot-cclleotor, and when he appeared, ordered seventy-five lashes to be laid upon his bare baok. When it was finished, Gonzalez shouted: "Give him twenty-five more for luck!" When Mago recovered, he made a formal complaint to the British Gov ernment. The result was that Guate mala waa ordered to punish Gonzalez, and to pay Mago five hundred dollars for every'lash ho had reeeived. Guatemala punished Gonzalez, but tried hard to avoid paying fifty thous and dollars to Mago. The British Government, however, was inexorable, and the poor collector waa made a rion man in one day. Mago beoame one of tho largest cof fee planters in Guatemala, and also secured the contract for building dooks in the ports. He owns valuable mines and tracts of timber. His fortune is now estimated at five million dollars, all due to one hundred lashes on his back. Stops the Cough and Work? off the Cold. Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets oure ! a cold in one day.

Boyd, of Cornwell, Chester county, is taking much interest in pecans, and adds: "Ile is making the experiment of grafting pecans on hickory sprouts. His success this year is encouraging. Some of his grafts have made a growth of five feet, while seedings have done little more than get above ground. Mr. Boyd's success should make many imitators for his plan. Hickory trees and sprouts abound in the State. It ought to be good business for any landowner to graft many such trees from the more valuable variety. Mr. Lege, of Green Pond, reported recent ly that bc is selling pecans from his tine tree at a dollar a pound. A far mer iu Yirginia writes to The South ern Planter that he has two old trees, tvhich he values at $1,000 a piece, as the annual revenue derived from them is a fair rate of interest on that sum. Few hickory trees-, or their fruit, are worth as much, to begiu with, and it is something besides to have pecan trees grow at the rate of five feet a year instead of a few inches. The grafts, we believe, should bear in three or four years, while seedling pe cans do not. Moreover, as Mr. Lege has stated, pecan stock is subject to 'he destructive attacks of "borers." Hickory stock with pecan grafts, should be proof to suoh attacks. Mr. Boyd's success with his experimental venture is instructive as well as "en couraging," and may profit many far mers who can take a hint quickly.

How Dogs Flail Their Woy. [a thc old days of the James River Canal a hue Better was taken by his master on a packet boat, which was so crowded that, the dog was put in tho captain's cabin to be out of the way. His owner reached his destination after nightfall, and had taken so much wine by that time that he was carried off the boat, and no one remembered his setter Next morning the captain took the dog ou deck with him, but was much afraid he would jump off to tho tow path, and try to return that way, and would have been in Jauger of being stolen. Carlo, however, lay perfectly quiet, but with an air of listening that at tracted notice. Toward noon he heard the sound of the horn of a packet com ing from the opposite way, and as the boats passed each other he made a leap, and was next heard from aa hav ing got off at thc place where his mas ter bad stopped, and as having gone at once to thc house where he was a guest. Could human intelligence have sur passed that? This same dog lay on bis master's grave and refused food until he died from starvation. But I do not give this as a case in point. A gentleman who lived 100 miles from a city moved there with all bis possessions, includingabulldog, which had been raised -at his father's home, where he had hitherto resided. He was locked up in the car with the fur niture, and in the bustle of unloading he disappeared, and two days after ward he reached his former home, coming by an inland route, as was known by parties whp recognized him, so that he evidently marked out his own path without reference to the railroad on which he had been carried away.-Christian Endeavor World.

Dr. Mills announced that $9,000,000 had been raised on church debts through the country; $8,150,000 for Methodist colleges aud two and three quarter mill ions for philanthropies and charities, $600,009 has been raised for the perma nent fund for the conference claimants and a little over $380,000 has boen raised to build churches in destitute communities.
