'I am frequently asked where I get ly authority for saying that the year 1900 will not be a leap year. 1 get it Jrom Davies Cniversity Arithmetic, feteel’s fourteen works,an Encyclope- Idia Britamiica and any other stand- lard works treating on tlie subject. [The * general rule for which is: “Every year which is divisible by 4 is a leap year, unless it isa centurnial year and then it is not a leap year, unless the number of the century is also divisible by 4. This rule is over 300 years old. Last Wednesday our section was visited by a storm of wind, rain and thunder.

In the vicinity of Flint Hill there is »r> abundance of rich ore which will some day be brought to the surface and take its place in the money mart. A correspondent of the Yorkville Enquirer has drawn me over the coals for some casual remarks 1 wrote con cerning the innocent game (as ho calls ir,)“Twistiflcation.” Nodoubt lie may think mo a little inconsistent in speaking of the York county peo ple while the beam is in the eye of our Union county people, lie arraigns me for permitting the same thing to be done within speaking distance of jny o.yn home without making men tion of it.

I did speak of it in a casual way, and said, that as there were three professional reporters present mo would get a full report of it. Hut my expectation did not materalize further than that Sambo merely made men tion, In a pleasant manner. I take off my hut and ask pardon of the scribe and all others M hom I have offended by my unsophisticated billingsgate, (if such such is the case,) and assure them that I didn’t think of casting a slur upon any one con nected with the pleasant affair.

I am no sour-kruut, pepper-box, tom cat of a demagogue who would at tempt to brush aside the innocent pleasures of the young people, that I plight play champion of religious re form. No, 1 am not built that way. I merely call things by their right name, and see no use in whipping the devil around the slump that the church creeds in' »ht be powerless to take hold of recreant members simply because nothing is said in any of them against “TwistiHcution” or any of its multiform phases, cotillion, reel, brake-down and stag-down are all well known bv their naiues.

Draytonville, Apr. 7.—Hit’s a dog gone slrairge thing to me why some people harps an harps on a fel ler when he haint paid no attention ner said nothin’ to ’em to harp about. Hit brings to my mind an incident whitch occurred one night when I was a possum huntin’. On this here special night I went with a feller who had a terrible vicious dog—the dog didn’t have a darn bit of sense. When we Mould ketch a possum we M'ould have to held it up above our heads to keep the fool dog from tearin’ it into riddles, then it was he would set un the howl an show how little sense he had. He Mould rare, jump, surge, bark, gnaw hushes, an—.an gu on jim like anything else that didn’t have a speck of sense—biggest fool dog I ever seed in my born days. Ole Fhnv, theolestan by, is a hunt in’ of fhiM's an when he ketches one an holds it up by the tail, as it were, nearly every doggone one of you cor respondents will set up a howl an’ bark an’ snort an’ go on jist like t hat other, er—jist that dog done. I thought you had long since learned that Old Flaw don’t care one iota what you say about him, for if you say the M'orst its jist as good as you could say of him. Here is a flaM' jist now popped into my mind. I've got it up by the tail, set up the houd if you want to. Speakin’ of me bein’ so bad I jist M'ish to say that I ain’t no worse than most others, yet I feel “rotten as rags an’ dead men’s bones” in the sight of God. Think how pure God is, then compare yourself u-ith him, then if you’ve got any con science an’ not chug full of self- righteousness you can surely see the portray of poor fallen humanity in yourself—I can. I tell you M'liut’s a fact, Flaw lobks with an impartial eye into his own bosom an’ sees u'hat tiie words “fallen humanity” means. If I say the M'orst of myself the half still remains for a more forcible ut terance. Likewise with every hu man being. I see Adam’s race in myself an’ you are included—yes, I mean individually, you. “Man is deceitful above all things an desperately wicked.” You are ready to set up a howl if anyone says anything harsh about you, but it’s because you are rotten. If you don’t believe it jist look into your om u breast for once with an impartial eye an you can see hatred, deceit, dishon esty an everything else but purity, hut you an I are too doggone hypo critical to acknowledge it, aint that so now? Conscience says yes. Flaw 1T< kkk. German at th: Cherokee Inn. (Correspondence of The Ledger.)
