Two Young White Men Wounded While Out Searching for a Negro. Bamberg, June 5.?News reached here last night of the shooting and wounding of two young white men near Olar, in this county, by a negro man Saturday night. It seems that during that night Harvey A. Joiner and Green Barker were looking for a colored man, and expecting to find him at a certain colored woman's * house, they went there and called her out for the purpose of making inquiry from her concerning the man. While talking to her they were shot into by an unknown party twice with a shotgun, the first severely and dangerously wounding Harvey A. Joiner in the small of the back, where a whole load of bird shot entered, and the * a? n T> 1 *.,1 second wounding v*reeu paiuiuily in the hand and arm. The colored woman afterwards gave information that the shooting was done by a mulatto saw mill man, who was in the house at the time the young men approached. He has not yet been arrested, but the sheriff has been notified and it is probable that an arrest will be made in . the near future. [The above is clipped from the News and Courier, the item having been furnished by the correspondent of that paper at this place.] Loaned to "Incie." Brokeleigh: "Yes I got caught in the shower and my umbrella was soaked." Ascum: "Well, that's better than getting soaked yourself." Brokeleigh: "You don't understand. , I got soaked because my umbrella was soaked." Ascum: "How do you mean? Didn't you put it up?" Brokeleigh: "I had 'put it up;' that's the reason why I didn't have it to put up."?Philadelphia Press. K BAMBEI ?EALER I N I AND VEHICL Stock in this he State TUT ?11 IMAM PDAIM I nt nwmnm Dimm. It Undergoes Wonderful Changes Darin? Its Growth. The wonderful changes which the human brain undergoes from the moment when it first appears in the embryo until it becomes the perfected laboratory of> thought characteristic to the matured human being has been commented upon by several of the leading writers on biology, physiology, etc. During these successive changes, or, rather, transformations from the lower to the higher sphere, the human brain not only takes upon itself the general shape and form of the brains of various representatives of the lower classes of animals, but appears to have the same structural constituents, at least to a certain degree. Thus it has been found that the original germ of the brain as it appears in the human embryo has he exact outlines of a serpent's thought jactory. After that the changes which cake place while the brain is assuming the various shapes which it must undergo before it becomes perfect give it a decided resemblance to the brains of fishes, birds and mammiferous animals. "Hems "lDOUgnrs Oil UJtr oiruciuic of the Human Brain" and Wilson's "Anatomy of the Human Body" both mention these queer transformations, as does also Hugh Miller in his famous work, "Testimony of the Rocks." Mit ler puts it in this way: "It has long been known that the human brain is built up by a wonderful process, during which it assumes in succession the form of the brain of a' serpent, a fish, a bird, and lastly, before it assumes the characteristic human form, it takes upon itself the outline of a mammiferous quadruped's brain." Hence the remark made by scientific writers that "man is the sum total of all animals." POOR HANDWRITING. One of the Catmea That Downed Napoleon at Waterloo. The nose of Cleopatra had a marked influence on the destinies of the ancient world. The handwriting of Napoleon I., we are assured by recent historians, had a similar effect upon the evolution of the modern world. He did not write; he scrawled. By reason of this, among oth?r causes, he lost Waterloo. Grouchy could not read with exactness his decisive message. Was it "bataille engagee" (battle is on), or "bataille gagnee" (battle is won)? Grouchy chose the latter significance and, not believing it necessary to press ?? "? a., i-i.. c?~ rorwara, arrived too taie. ou iuul-u mi the curl of a letter, a pen stroke or an Illegible swell to an "a." This question was brought forward by the writing master of the elder Dumas. "Remember, Alexandre," the master said to him, "the great defeat of the emperor was due only to his scrawling hand. If you wish to succeed in the world be careful of your heavy and your light strokes." So if Napoleon had known how to write legibly or If he had taken the trouble to do so his descendants would reign today In France and we should not have had the republic. It appears historically established today that Dumas' writing master was right And on such slight things rests the fate of empires.?Cri de Paris. The Ouprey. Allusion is often made, especially in fashion journals, to "osprey" feathers. Few words have been more loosely bandied about than this bird name. The Roman author Pliny's "ossifraga" (bone breaker) has been identified with the lammergeyer, a vulture that is reputed to break up bones too big for it to devour whole by dropping them from a height upon rocks. But both "ossifrage" and "osprey," a newer form, came to be applied to quite another bird, the fish hawk, which is now the true "osprey." Yet the "osprey" feathers ? more properly egret feathers, or aigrettes ?do not come from this bird, but frdp the egret, or icsi&cr vviiiic iiciuu. The Sea Otter. The sea otter combines the habits of a seal with the intelligence and amusing character of the otter. When met in herds far out at sea, which is but seldom now, they are commonly seen swimming on their backs. They even eat their food lying in this position on the water and nurse their young ones on their chests between their paws, exactly as a south sea island mother swims with her baby in the water. When swimming in this attitude they even shade their eyes with their paws when the sun dazzles them. One of the most amusing things in connection with the dispensary investigation - - - - " *? is the fact tQat tne auvouaies ui mc ?yotem formerly urged the investigating committee to abandon its pursuit of the small fry and go after bigger fish, but since the committee ha6 gotten pretty close to the whales the advocates declare no good can come of the investigation and advise that it be abandoned.

"I don't see why that tune haunts me constantly," complained a dull man who was always humming. "Because you are forever murdering it!" came the quick reply from Foote. it takes ten pounds of common sense to carry one pound of learning.?Persian Proverb. One of Hia Inferiors. "He says he always tries to be polite | to his inferiors and? Hey, where are | you going'?' "Going to find him and give him a licking." "What for?" "I met him this morning, and he was as polite as a dancing master."?Houston Post The Other Way. The teacher had been talking about a hen sitting on eggs, says English Country Life, and, with the incubator !n mind, asked if eggs could be hatched in any other way. "Yes, sir/' said an experienced person of nine. "Put 'em under a duck." The Remedy. "You're not in love, Robbie. You only think you are." "Well, how the dickens am I to find out my mistake if I am mistaken?" "Oh, marry the woman by all means." ?Home Notes. A Distinction. Mistress?Have you had any experience with children?

Scads?You say he left no money? Baggs?No. You see, he lost his health , getting wealthy, and then lost his ! wealth trying to get healthy. His Religion Couldn't Save Him. A man addicted to walking in his sleep went to bed all right one night, but when he awoke he found himself on the street in the grasp of a policeman. "Hold on!" he cried, "you mustn't arrest me. I'm a somnambulist man!" To which the policeman replied. "I don't care what your religion is?ye can't walk in the streets in yer nightshirt."?The Scottish American.
