Memoir ol' Col. Jin mes Williams. Shakcsponro says, "Thc evil that men do, lives after Ihom, the pood is oft interred willi their hones." This is true when we look upon thc weak sido of hitman nature, where the cowardice MI* man circulates tho wrongs of a long lifo made helpless by death, and where no charity dwells to balance accounts between tho gootl and evil of a man's life, rallier forgetting clio good and perpetuating tho evils he has done. On tho other side ol human nature, Ibo judgment passed .upon human conduct ls th" reverse of that indicated above. From this standpoint wo can also truth fully say, a man's evil conduct is buried with his body, but Ilia good deods live after him. The food thai men do is foll after thCj have passed aw ay, serves a an example to tho Inexperienced, and sheds its blessing* upon posterity. Tho civil isation of a country Is written in the works and lives of her great men, and their example is the bul wark of her exi dence and lbw guidance of her distiny. .'Tho lives of groat men all remind us, "We can make our lives sublime." Biography ls a very fruitful, and often lucrative field for the literary writer, and a source of pleasant mental pabulum for tho reader, but beyond these sclflsli^.cnds, tlioro i. a higher aim in bi ?graphy, and re sults more beneficial to country and humanity. Tho lives of groat men should bo written ami handed down to posterity, for in tlu ir live. there Is much of gratification tc the admirer, nundi ol* inst ruc lien foi the ill-informed, and mindi of ex ample and direction for tho inex perienced. This ls the argument of lifo drawn from Kunian example It teaches what men have done and also what, eden's paribus, Ihej can do. An interesting fact in psyelinl -\ is that there is n dineroaeo ii stocks of poople. Some famililies as far back as memory and erudi tion go, present no individuals ol sterling character, or worlhy ol admiration, lu other families wi > find hero and there in their geneal ogy, individuals of a more worthy character, and lit to bo leaders in thought, enterprise and govern ment!) and that too, where u ri s toe racy has not lot fall her talismanic influence, nor educ.ilion her polish ing touch. As an example of such families: constituting the more worthy class, I beg leave to mention the \VlL L?AM8KS, of South Curolinn, with Col JAMES WILLIAMS standing as v tho heall. Col. JAMES WILLIAMS was a native of danville County, N. C., whence" ho emigrated to South Carolina in 177.1. Ho settled in Laurens County, on Little Uiver, near where some of his descend ants now reside. Merchainli.-.ing and farming const itu tod his busi ness until tin4 war of Independence bridie out. Having early learned tho lesson of liberty in the "Old North State" from which he sprung ho cheerfully responded to the fir. t call of his adopted Slate. Wo know little of his early education, and it Is probnblo ho never enjoyed tho bonoflts of collegiate cotirao, but he must have received such menial training as tho times could well af ford, since ho ably represented tho Spction of country lying between tho Broad and Sabida Rivers, in tho Provincial Congress, which met first in Charleston, on Jan. 1 Ith, 177?. In tho ea pacify (if represen tative of his county, and as tho champion of Hie cause of indepen dence, he had to "face fearful odds," und found in public Ufo "leemon worthy of Iiis steel." At this time, nearly half of tho peoples' loading men and representatives were loyal to tho motlier country and opposed tho cause of Independence. Tho line of demarkation between Whig and Tory was sharply drawn. Patriotism in man is but tho In dex of his .'?elf esteem, of his love for posterity and foi* humanity. In this, Col. WILLIAM? was unsur ?nd, and this bi th" characteris lc of bis natnro which shone out most brightly. This led him to 'leave homo arid family, and lo take up ai nu in their d?fonce. Ile waa appointed cdonel of militia by Gov, Rutledge, and was supposed fo havo received tho commbidon of brlgndlor-general at a later time, but from the modesty of hi? nature he never asserted claims to his higher title. The two battles ol the revolution in Which he most distinguished himself, were the battles of Musgrove'* Mills arid of King's Mountain. In tho former he displayed no little degree of slratogy, and hud tho forvOs on both sidos boon numerous, it would have boon recorded In tho history of tho was as ono of tho Instances of tho display of tho greatest mili tary genius. Ile falls hack from tho contest In South Carolina to North Carolina. Tho battle of King's Mountain ls about to ho fought, and ho ls called back to his I adopted .State. Tho following linos will show how great a worrior he was: "Old Williams fron- Hillsborough ott nie, To hitit tho s ?uth Carolinians Hocked amain." Col. Ferguson, tho British com inan i. r, hud encamped upon King's , Mountain, und wu endeavoring to) unite w illi (Jon. Cornwallis lower down in South Carolina. Col. Wil liams, with the other colonels of tho American cause, in South Caro lina, formed n pinn to cut off Fer guson from tho Royalists in South j Carolina and to prevent him from uniting with Cornwallis. The place i of tho rendezvous agrocd upon was | I Cowpens. Herc they collected I ! about nine hundred men, and with their ll oe test horses set out in pur- ] suit of the enemy, and on tho 7th of October, 17N?, they were near Ferguson's camp upon King's Mountain. Col. Williams' com mand made repealed and success ful assaults upon Ferguson's strong It dd. In sealing the mountain step by .step his faithful charger was shot tb rough the mouth, and covered his rider with foam and Mood. In tho storm of bullets, Col. Williams received a fatal shot in tho shoulder und fell nour tho foot of Ferguson, Tho most touch ing scone of the battle is, that while at tho hoad of his mon leading tho I charge, with words of cheer fresh u lon his lips, he fell in the thickest of tho light und was borne from the gory field by his two sons. Daniel and Joseph, then mero lads light ing by his side. Ile lies buried about one milo from King's Moun tain, without a simple stone to mark his last resting place. The . last act of his life was a manly struggle for liberty-struggle which has won for him the undy ing famo of an" American hero, ito has soi a glorious example to his country, and handed down to his posterity a name of which they ha ve just cause to be proud. In religion he was a Presbyterian. To liim religion and liberty were inseparable. In tho darkest hours of tho Revolution his religious faith uphold him and supported his zeal, believing; that if God ? as' on .Iiis side he had nothing to fear* In his domestic relations he was most happily situated, tito stronest lies of love existed between him and tho diff?rent members of his family, as appears from the affec tionate Udlers written to them du I ring tho war. His love for his wife . and children was highly recipro ; eated, as on one occasion his wife dared to light for him, and two of i sons followed him to the .last bat . tlofield. I In stature, ho was low and stout, i with features coarse-charaotoris [ ties somewhat of the men of tho i family to-day. At his death ho i left five sons and three daughters: . I)ani.d, Joseph, John, James and ? Washington. Of tho 'ii-, James - and Washington oi.i.v lived to bo t the hoads of families.

"While a Pluto youth was asleep under a tall tree in tho Kel River region, California, a huge nut fell with such force straight down on his upturned temple as to kill him. How many persons know that when they speak of a lumber room they are alluding not to odd hits of timber, but to tho Lombards, or original pawnbrokers, whose apart ments, filled with miscellaneous pledges, gave sanction to tho USO??? this term ?

A watchmaker in Newcastle, England, H said to have com ploted a sot three gobi shirt-studs, in one of which ls a watch that keeps ex cellent time, tho dial being about three-eighths of an inch in diameter. The throe studs are connected by a strip nf silver inside thc shirt bosom, and the watch contained In the middle stone is wound up by turning the stud above, and thc hands are set bv turning the one below. It is said that the first restrict ive Iii)nor law ever passed In tills country was enacted in a little town in Rhode Island, and read as fol lows: "Every saloon-keopor who sells more than one gallon of liquor to a minor, shall he fined $1 and costs."' The first temperance pledge remembered in circulation in New England, was thus worked: I sol emnly swear to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors on ail occasions except on training days, wedding days, banquets and other great occasion H." Household Hints. Lard may be made perfectly i sweet by boiling n pared potato in ' it. j For poison oak, bathe in cream and gunpowder twice a day tili ! cured. Wash the hair in cold sage tea; it will heep tho hair from falling out. When food is to bo fried have tho pan very hot before Cue fat ls put in and have the fat hot before beginning to fry. Then tho mini mum amount of fat will bc ab sorbed. Salt sprinkled on any substance burning on the stove will stop the smoke und smell. Salt thrown Up ? on coals blazing from tho fat of broiled chops or liam will cause thc blaze to subside. Rut all the nieces of bread that are left each day in a pan and dr; them in n moderate oven. They may bo beaten fine in a mortar and p. ! way in jars for breading or pudding. They are useful for sift ing over greased cake pans to pre vent the cake from adhering. If you wish to prevent tho un pleasant oder that arises from boll ing cabbage, tic up a ploco of stab bread in a muslin clot'u and boil with the cabbage. A piece of stale bread on the end of a knife with which you are cutting onions, will prevent the juice from affecting the eyes unpleasantly. -To-morrow may never come tons.

C. Eaton, of Yale Col ego, in a paper on "Apples," rea<l .econtly before the Scientific Soci ety of Bridgeport, says: "Tho ?rst positive scientific demonstra ron of apple trees was lu the dls dosuro , made throgh a condition >f the water, that apple tree trunk formed part of tho foundations; of the habitations of tile lake dwell ers of Switzerland. This period,as iiuarly as could be Judged, was Tro m 1,200 to 2,000 yours before Christ. That the apple with which hive was tempted in tho Garden of Edon, according to the Scripture, i-i the apple of to-day ls uncertain, inasmuch aa tho world anciently applied to tho apple included the inti nco and pear. Consequently ! l?vo might have been templed by either of these hitter fruits. The press?t apple was due to the eulti on and development of the crab? apple,and tho peculiarity ol the ap pin ttl its evolution is that tho part now valuable was simply tho calix, t 'nicki nod und become fleshy, which h id formed around tho origin..1 fruit or seeds. There are now about '.?ut? varieties of apples, classified under not less than 8,000 names," -The calculating machino in vented by Professor Thompson, excels, tn its ingenuous adaptation to a variety of results, even Bab bage's Wondorful apparatus. By means of tho mer?' friction of a disk, a cylinder and a ball, the ma chine is capable of effecting nume rous complicated calculations which occur in tho highest applica tion of mathematics to physical problems, and by its aid an un skilled person may, in a given time, perform tho work of ten expert mathematicians. The machine la applicable alike to the calculating of tidal, magnetic, meteorological and oilier periodic phenomena; it will solve differential equations of tho second or even higher orders, and through this sume wondorful arrangement of mechanical parts tho problem of finding tho free mo tions! of any number of mutually attracting particles, unrestricted by any of the approximate supposi tions required In the treatment of tho lunar nn? nlnnatory theories, is done by simply turning a handle. -By eating fast the stomach, like a bottle being filed through a funnel, ls full and overflowing before we know it.

It has been seen with the naked oyo, that if solid tood is cut In pieces small us a half poa lt dlgosts almost as soon, without being chowed at all, as if it hail been well masticated. -SENATOR CONGE \a very in temperate in speech. When Coi. QU nt was up for Governor, the tl rsi time, there was a memorable cham pagne symposium in which ho joined. Senator VANCE had about absorbed all tho alcohol that was gooil for him, and <piit lu time. These men, no doubt, deserve credit for opportune and timely restraint, but, like tho <dtl darkey who got r - ligion late in life, some politicians of tho prohibition order can say: "I'ae mighty good now, but I was a debbil of ii fellow when I was young. !"-A ty usia ( 'hroniclc.
