UNCLK SAM AND TURK ICY. The Government at Washington is now looking after the unspeakable Turk. It seems that the Sultan owes the United States some money which he promised to pay in consideration of the pleasure his amiable Cossacks bad in despoiling and murdering American citizens in Armenia some years ago, and that he is not mani festing any great eagerness to pay it. In the meantime, as l ncle Sam : business is expanding and thus re quiring a larger operating capitol, ho thinks it an opportune time for the Sultan to “pony up,’’ and begins to play the braggart and the bully as usual. In answer to his threats of an ultimatum the Sultan gives notice that he doen’t care a continental for all the ultimata that McKinlcj A Co., can manufacture in a year, that he has 3,500,000 of Malays and Moros in the Sula Islands whom he has but to lift his finger to turn loose upon the American armies in the Philippines; and so just let the ultimata come as fast as they ph ase and he’ll show the United States a ed at the battle of Gaines’ Mill, Yu., thing or two which may be worthy cf^ j une 07 J852. some attention. So, the expansion tree is already beginning to bud and blossom, uml being in a salubrious climate and rooted in fertile soil, will no doubt yield in due time an abundant crop of fruit bitter to the taste and nause ating to Uncle Sam’s ravenous stomach. While the Atlantic and the Pacific remained the eastern and the west ern limit of this great nation she might bid defiance to the whole- world, but it will be a diilt rent thii when she becomes an adventurer in strange lands and a meddler in the affairs of distant, nations.

Etta Jane, April 25.—We made a trip to Gaffney last Monday and found the town full of people from all parts of the county. The farming prospects are about the saixu—all ra ; ned out and washed away. Planting hasii l gone very far yet. Wheat look's well where it has been manured. Oats are not so good. The fall sowing is generally frozen out, or, at least, very thin on the ground. E. P. Macomson, Esq., of Mercer, came near being badly hurt by getting his leg caught in the wheel of nis wagon, while returning from Gaffney Monday evening. For several min utes he was held in a helpless condi tion, but with the timely assistance of John, A. M. and Joe Estes and G. 1). Black, he was relieved. Mrs. R. Ross Bratton died yester day after a long and painful illness. .She was buried at Abingdon Creek yesterday.

It was in 1807, and was what is called an annu lar eclipse. I was in middle Georgia. My sister and I were in the yard ob serving it through smoked glasses when she suddenly exclaimed ; “Look at the shadows!” We were standing near a young shade tree which was in full leaf. As the eclipse came on the shadows of the leaves took the form, first of crescents, then of rings, when the eclipse was fully on; and as it passed off they gradually became crescents again, and when it, was off there were only shadows of leaves. It would be interesting just now if some one who is acquainted with the philosophy of shadows would explain why the nun, during an eclipse, would cause objects to cast shadows of that kind Perhaps something like it has occurred in the neighborhood of Etta Jane. The eclipse of the 28*ii of May will begin too early in the morning for children ,n the country to assemble, but I hope they will all be prepared with smoked glasses to begin at the first to take observations, for it will be worth remembering. And besure, children, to notice the shadows. Why cannot Prof. Griffith write i tliai history of 1873?
