It was all my fault ..in! my ?rite and my daughter and my doctor have told mo bo forty or fifty times. They rubbed it in every timo they gave me medicine and I had to take both doses at once. You see I am very fond of ice water, but wo have never bad a water cooler until la.-t week. I saw a beautiful ono and was assured that five pounds of ice would keep tho water cold all day,.so I came home and told about it, how there was an inner chamber for tho ice and how when the ice molted tho wator still kept its temperature, for no OUtsido air could reach it and how it was orna mental and would grace tho hall and we would not have to be stealing ioo any more from the refrigerator, eto. Well, of course, I had to order one, and last Thursday morning I loaded tho pretty thing and all that day I was ex perimenting and tasting to see how it was performing. Well it wan just splendid and my wife kept telling mo that that cooler would put me to bod if I didn't mind. That night wo were invitod out to tea and had spread beforo us a sumptu ous feast and about 0 o'clock tho ico er.onm was served in generous quantity and we departed. It was ice all day and away in the night. Was there ever such a fool? But I've paid for it all. I have confessed my sin and I don't think I will over do so any moro and I only tell it now as a warning to suffering humanity. Tho Good Book says, "He trieth the roins of tho chil dren of men "?trioth thorn sometimes with one thing sometimes with anoth er, but ice wator by day and ico croam at night gets mine. That night about midnight thero was a tap on my side that waked me up and I thought some body had hit mo with a small shillaly right over my right roin. I had felt that tame knootc beforo and recognized it. I got up and poked around among tho medioinos until I found tho spirits of nitor and paregoric and I took a dose without awaking anybody. The pain got worso and worso and I . J?olTewed4(he doso ovory hour and got to groaning so that I waked up every body and thoy plastered my side and loins with mustard. I drank all the 1 Rad way I could find and I walked around half bont and laid down and got up every minuto. About daylight I got roliof and drop pod to sleep. Ah, blessed sleep, but for three moro days I have boon wrest ling with those reins. I havo taken a small drug storo of modicino?nitor, paragorio, lithia, calomol, salts, bluo mass, quinine and a lot of powQors and othor tilings that I nover inquired tho name of. for I didn't care. I knew that I couldn't bo worsted and would havo swallowed moltod load if tho doctor said so. I'm getting so that I can movo about novf and so when tho pet rabbits got Out this evening it was thought that perhaps it, wouldn't strain ino to help catch them. Did you over try to catch a pet rabbit? Well, it is tho most provoking businoss in tho world. It took us all two hours to do it and I hud to go to bod again. A kind lady gave them to our grandchildren day beforo yesterday and of course I will do any thing for her. We havo a boy hired, but ho is nover here whon wo want him. Lust Satur day ho had to go to a picnic and beg ged me out of a dollar and my wife out of a pair of my old pants and to-day ho had to go to a funeral and ho koeps in my debt all tho time, and so I kcop him, for ho is as humble us a dog and my wife and tho girls cuu scold him and abuse him all day long and not im pair his ebony smile. That is a valu able trait. I would like to dig a post hole in tho back yard and plant him in it and holler ut him by tho hour. Oh, these darkies?what, a compound, what a. .heterogeneous variety. My daughter worked all the morning last Friday helping her cook to muko cakes and things for the darkies' picnic of Saturday. Sunday morning tho cook oame in on time and my daughter says : " Woll did you havo a nico timo at the picnic?" "I never weut." she mid. *? My foller never como attor mo and I stayed at home." " And you never came horo to help mo on Satur day?you mean thing?after all I did for you. I nevor did boo a negro that had a spark of gratitude." Bui tho funniest thing about the negro was told mo by George Adair tho other day. Old I sham is a preach er?a smart old preacher?who always gets up a carousomcnt.. Ho was tell ing (merge about his troubles on this lino. M Sometimes I can't get 'em fired up hardly any. Somntimos de debil blow out de Uro attor I git it started. But I keeps on blowin' around ontwel I gits 'em to cavortin'around, for you seo widout dat a nigger uioetin' ain't no moetin' at all. Only last Saturday night I was bavin' a powerful cold ?9timo and couldcnt hardly git up a grunt or a groan or a bloss God from anybody, whon all of a sudden I squat down and don jump away up and wid ray ha mis raised to I leaven I holler out: ' Brorin and sistoru, descriptor say: " Groat is Dinah of do Phesians ; " Groat is Dinah of do Phesians ; H Great is Dinah of do Phesians." ''I shoved it out throo times as loud as I could holler, and it just everlast ingly waked up dem niggers, und you neber heard de like in all your life. ? Bless God for Dinah ! Oh, my Lord, send Dinah down! Oh, I see Aunt Dinah comin'I Como down, Dinah, come down!' and thoy .begun to sing and shout, and 'twas Dinah in and Dinah out, and Dinah dis and Dinuh dat, and wo all had a glorious moetin', and two sisters foil down in a trance and had to bo carried homo, and it was do Dinuh lick whnt dun it." That's all right. Thoy liko that, and this is a free country concerning religion and church worship. I'd rattior risk it than Coxev's army, or nome othor organizations that keep the country alarmed. But if a man wants to roalizo how in significant are all these things let him got down In the low ground of pain. VVhut was Cleveland or antl-Cloveland to mo? What was Johnston or Oatos ? What was Coxey or tho tariff, or evon tho Atlanta Exposition ? What was anything sublunary? Tho wholo rou tine wasent of as much conscquonco us as tho lly that bothered my nose. Tho domain of my alTcotions and regard was ray family-?my wlfo and children and those kind friends who called. How tender and soothing wore their minis trations. My greatest comfort is that my children wish mo to livo and not die. Tim othor day thoro was an old wo man on trial for hor life. Sho hadent done anything at all. but she wouldont dio -that was all. Sho was oighty-stx yi ars old. and her hushtnd's will gave i or a child's part of his ostate, an es tate worth ovor 8100,000, thoy said. l) was on trial for imbooility, for tho children said sho wasont fit to take care of hor share, and they wantod a guardian appointed to tako oaro of hor fend keep her from wasting the proper ly.

There was quite an array of Jawyers agalost her, for the children, with one exception, had com bined to tie up the property until ehe died and then divide it out. ?'I've got no larnin', judge," she said, M for I was married mighty young and we moved over here among the In juns iu 1832, and there were no schools. My old man was young and strong, and so was L We out the logs and built our own bouse and traded with the In juns and I could talk Injun as good ai well and I usod to plow and plant and hoe corn and burn brush at night and cook and wash and when the children began to come along I had to spin and and weave and make their clothes and by and by wo bought more land and spread out and kept on workln' hard and spending little until wo had monoy to lend and could send the children to school. I've lived long and llvod haul, jtrtrgo, but I novor had. a master over mo In my life, and I don't want one now. My old man, who Is dead and gone, nover was my master and I I made as much of our properly as ho did and ho always said so and It looks like I ought to have a child's part and do Just as I please with It. These children are afraid I'll give It to my baby boy, and that's what's the mattor. Ho is my baby, judge, and you know that a mother always holds fast to her baby whothor he Is young or old. Ho lives with mo yet and is always good, to mo. Ho watches me to see what I want and says, "Don't got up, mother, 1 will got It for you." When he goes to town ho nevor forgets mo, but is suro to bring mo somo little thing If It's only a pair of solBsors or an erango or somo oandy. No, judge, I don't want to bo tied.

The following sketch of Govornor Hammond was read not long ago bo fore tho literary sooioty of tho Bam berg graded school by ono of tho pu pils, and deserves to recoivo a wiuor leading among tho present gonorutieq, who know vory little of the man who oneo tilled so largo a place in tho oyo of South Carolinians. Gradod schools are doing much to develop a knowledge of local nistory. and In this instance there is an excellent example of tho work bolng done In this direction : Mr. James H. Hammond was born in tho district of Nowberry, S. C, on tho 15th day of November, 1807. In 1823 ho ontored the junior class of tho South Carolina Collego, and two years lator graduated in a class of distinguished merit. Mr. Hammond then adopted the profession of law and was admitted to tho bar in 1828. Ho immediately entered upon a lurge und successful practice. In 1830, in addition to bis professional duties, ho undertook to edit a paper known as " Tho Southern Times," and during a poriod of intense oxcitomont conducted tho paper with marked ability. Mr. Hammond early Imbibed tho doctrine of tho absoluto and indivi sible sovereignty of every State. With theso doctrines ho entered upon his public career, and stood by them with unwavering conviction and untlinching fidelity to tho last moment of his lifo. In 1831. Mr. Humtnond married s Miss Fitzsimmons, of Columbia. He then sottled at Silver Bluff, on the Savannah river, near Allcndale, and entered upon agricultural pursuits but did not neglect public affairs. lie took an activo part and aided materially in organizing tho forces with which South Carolina was preparing to meet tho impending conflict with tho Federal government. ? Ho was elceted to Congress in 1834, and in u vigorous speech during his first session pointed out tho abolition movement, which from a single society of eleven porsons in New England in 1832 had grown to havo a memborshlp of ono hundred thousand, who were Hooding tho mails with abolition docu ments and besieging- Congress with petitions for tho abolition of slavery. Mr. Hammond demanded tho rejec tion of these pet items. Ho declared that tho result of continued attacks on tho institution of slavery would bo a dissolution of tho Union. About this time that great strugglo began which was carried on for 30 years and resulted in tho overthrow of tho Confcderato government. Before tho expiration of his term of office, Mr. Hammond's health, which had novor boon robust, failed com pletely and forced him to resign. Ho went to Europe and travoled for about two years, returning only partially re stored. Tho noxt fow years wore di vided botwoen a search for health and attention to privato businoss. In 1842 ho was elected Govornor. It was under his administration that tho arsenals at Columbia and Charleston wore converted into military academ ies on tho plan of West Point. At tho expiration of his term of ofllco, Mr. Hammond returned to planting pur suits with renewed ardor. Forsovoral years his efforts in this direction wero confined to clearing now lands and to such experiments and Improvements as would occur naturally to tho mind of an activo and intelligent planter. Tho most remarkable of Mr. Ham mond's experiments was tho clearing of fifteen hundred acres of Savannah river swamp. This land was a worth less bog which he brought up by drain ago and careful cultivation to a high state of culture, and iu a fow years after ho cleared this swamp, ho made thirty-five thousand bushols of corn on the fifteen hundred acres in ono year. H must not bo supposod that this work was dono mainly through tho agency of others, as wus too often tho custom of largo planters in tho South. Mr. Hammond mountod his horso every morning and often ut dawn ho was mak ing "tho surveys and laying off tho par allels for tho ditches. His oyo super vised e\ery important piece of work and his bruin planned and directed every movement. It can&lso bo said that no planter was ever moro devoted to the health and comfort of hie sluvos. Ho was firm in his disciplino, requiring full work but not too much of it. Ho was always just and kind, and did not entrust his slaves to tho caro of othors, but daily he attendod the hospitals and smoothed tho fovorod brow. Although Mr. Hammond did not havo his name upon any church roll ho was gonor us toward all religious enter prises. Ho contributed a magnificent stained glass window to the Episcopal church at Barnwoll. which stands there today. Ho also built a church which was for his slavos and was included in tho Methodist circuit. Although ho was busy on his farm his pen was novor idlo. Article after articlo flowed from his fluent pen and made millions think. In 1850 Mr. Ham mond attendod the Southorn Stato Convention hold in Juno at Nashville, Tenn., and took a prominont part In tho dobatos. For porsonal reasons he did not return to the socond mooting. Ho went to Charleston in Novombor upon an invitation of tho City Counoil und dolivored an orat ion on tho lifo and ohnraetor of John C. Calhoun. By many this is considered tho host effort of his life. Failing health did not por mlt Mr. Hammond to tako any activo nart In our groat struggle, but what ho could do no did. He sold all that ho could soil and placed tho proceeds In Confcderato bonds. After his health failed, and when he was no longer able to work for his country's good, his thoughts all seemed to be dirooted to tho welfare of his country. On tho 26th of September, 1864, just treated us mighty Hii...

Tin; mtUMMUIt BOY. Sad 8Um r of* Dt-av? IjtUle Lad Who Ailed ut ChickauiauRa. It was in the latter part of August, 1803, and the great Army of tho Cum berland was moving through the defiles of the Cumberland mountains, along the Tennessee, in pursuit of Bragg's retreating forces. Tho weather was scorching hot, the moun tain trails were crushed into streams of dust, and tho bronzed, blue-clad men suffered at times vory much from want of water. Tho cavalry brigade went into camp near tho "Fighting Fifteenth" Infantry, and here for the first time I saw ''Noddy" Watts, the diminutive drummer boy, who had become the idol of the bronzed soldiers. He was a bright boy of fourteen, dressed in a rusty blue uni form and small for his years, looked wholly unfit for the hardships of such a campaign. But ho was as cheery ami bright as if ho considorod this desperate work the morost play. I learned from tho men of the Fifteenth that Noddy's mother died when he was a little child. His father, tho color sergeant of the regiment, was killed at Stone river eight months beforo this. How tho boy ohanood to drift down from Cine in n M to the army was not clearly expla d, but certain it is that as soon as he appeared in the eaiap of tho "Fighting Fifteenth" and annouucod himself as the son of Sergeant Watts, ho was at once adopted and made tho drummer of tho color coin puny. ? At daybroak tho next morning the Infantry began to ford tho river. It was up to tbo waist of tho tallsst man As our bugler sounded "boots and saddles," I bethought me of the boy. I was mounted on a poworful horso and, being' but a youth myself, and comparatively light. I determined to give tho lad a lift." Boing a commis sioned ofilcor, I had the license to do this. Tho advance of the FITtoonth was already in tho rivor when I rode up the boy, who had his drum on his back, while a tall, bearded giant was preparing to carry him over on his shoulders. Neddy WUS delighted at my proposition and whon my purpose was understood by tho soldiers a hun dred strong hands wore ready to lift him into tho saddlo bohind mo. At -his point the Tennessee is fully a half mile wido, so that I had a good chance to talk to Neddy as ~vo wont ovor. I found him sweet and innocont, as if ho hud never known the want of a generous father's protection or a loving mothor'8 care. When I set him down on tho opposite bank ho drew himself up liko a soldier, and, with a military soluto, said, " I thank you vory much for the ride, captain, and l hopo to soo you again." "I hopo to meet you, too, Neddy," I repliod; "goodby. and God bloss you," and bo wo par tod. Whon I saw Neddy Watts again it was under tho most trying circum stances and on the awful field of Chickamauga. ' It was Sunday, the 20th of September, and on tho previous day tho right and left wings of our army had boon unexpectedly sot upon by tho enemy and routed. Only tho center romuined intact under the com mand of that gallant soldier, Genorul j Thomas, and on its stability and valor dopendod tho fato of tho army of tho ? Cumberland. Along with General I Thomas was a remant of the Fighting I Fifteenth. Whon the battlo began GOO of that gallant regiment responded to tho roll cull; now tnoro was only 197 left, and among them was Noddy Watts, tho drummer boy. Tho cavalry brigade to which I was attached was dismounted and sot to tho frcnt to aid the infantry in hold ing tho hill of Chickamauga. As we lay upon tho ground waiting for tho enemy I glanced along the lino, und near tho colors I saw tho diminutive form and tho rusty drum of the boy I had holped acrosB tho Tcnnesseo. Tho enemy was about 300yards away, and a terrific Uro was pouring across this spneo from both sidos. Tho in tervening ground was covored with tho dcud and wounded of both armies, many of whom wero piteously crying for wator to appoase thoir burning thirst. Whon a man become helpless and suffering in battlo wo forgot tho color of his uniform, and, uncaring whether he be friend or foo, tho humanity which is common to all men urges us to help him. From where wo lay we could distinctly hear a gray-hoarded Confederate officer, who sat with his back to a tree, and whoso logs wore shattered by a cannon shot, crying piteously for water. Before his pur pose could bo divinod, or a hand raised to stap him, Neddy Watts, who had a canteen like tho other soldlors, could bo seen creeping forward on his hands and knees, the drum ut his buck mak ing him particularly conspicuous. Wo understood his purposo, and after lie had refused the appeals to como buck we sent up a cheer to oncourago him. Solid shot, and sholl and musket bullets by thousunds crashed and whistled across tl. is space ; but Neddy Watts paid r.o heed to them. His pur pose was to savo and not to destroy. Ho reached tho wounded fooman, and we could soo him hold his canteen to the gray lips until tho burning thrist wus stayed. His mission over, Neddy left tho canteen in tbo man's hands und turned to make his way back to tho lines of the Fifteenth. At that instant a sholl oxplodcd hot five feet uway. Ho leaped to his feet, threw up his hands, and, staggoring buck, fell In the arms of tho man to whoso rescue ho had gone. When darkness brought, a cessation of tho battlo some of Neddy's comrades crept out of tho lino to recover tho body, and they found him lying as if asleep in tho arms of tho dead Con federate. ?A .special to tho Now Orleans Times-Democrat from Dallas, Tox., says: "The formal announcement this morning of Judgo John II. Reagan, ox Confederate Postmuster Genoral, that ho is a candldato for Govornor, al though oxpected for ten days, created a profound sensation. A month ago he doclared against Prosident Cleveland In a proclamation which could almost bo read under a black ll-ig. No man has a stronger or moro enthusiastic following in Texas than Judgo Rea gan, und ho is looked upon us u vener able father of Democracy. This an nouncement mukes tho cumpuign for und against Clovelund. ?Tho lntest sensntiun Is u romantic inarriago among the clouds, which oc curred recently in Wcsstern North Carolina. O. W.

What the Venezuelan Earthquake* Sieuied Inke to an American?Peo ple Prayed in the Dark new. From Tae New York World. Rev. Joseph Norwood, agont of the Amor loan Bible Society in Venezuola and Colombia, who arrived on the steamship Philadelphia last Wednes day night, is the first oyo-witness of tho recent earthquake in Venezuela to reach this port. Mr. Norwood was located somowbat on tho edge of the affected area, but before ho loft for the nerth he learned a great deal con cerning the damage and probable los? of life due to tho soIhiuIo disturbances. Through tho severity of the shock? the telegraph wires woro torn down all ovor Vonozuela, and for this reason he was unablo to get full reports from tho devastated settlements. , "Tho towns of Moral a, Lagunillas I and Ejldos," Mr. Norwood said, "were I almost totally destroyed. Lagunillas is situated between two high moun tains, and was surrounded by large shoots of water. In tho midst of the shock tho town sunk out of sight, and a iarm- lake Bproad ovor the spot. " When the first shook came I was in tho Hotel America, in Maracalbe. Tho premonitory rumble ielt like the noise of a derailed streot car, and my impression was that somothing had happened to the street railroad in front of tho hotol. As tho rumblo continuod, howover, I know almost Immediately that It was an earthquake, and drow out my watch to time Its duration. "Tho first shock was at 0:45 o'clock p. in., April 28th. It began with an undulation, which ran about twenty iive seconds. Thon there was an oscillation of about the samo period, and the subsequent disturbance last ed about two minutes. Tho heaviest offoot lasted .about half that timo. After tho earthquake had passed, there wore seven great cracks In tho walls of my room. Through ouo of them you might have put an arm. "Immediately after the first shock I tho electric light wires woro torn : down, and tho town was loft in dark I ness. With this gloom tho situation j of tho inhabitants became moro fright I ful. Every one ran Into tho streets, { and many foil on their knees and called , for help. No ono was killed, although j many persons wore Injured. " After tho first shock all the guests , and employes in tho botol, with tho i oxcoption of another man and myself, j loft the place and took up quarters in ? the streets. Wo concluded to stay i Indoors, but as a measure of safoty wo ; moved our cots to tho hoad of tho stairs. The hotol was a two-story ' structure, built of adobo and bricks. j. An earthquake such as wo felt in ; Maracalbo would bavo lovoled all the ! tall buildings In Now York to the ground, and would havo caused a frightful loss of life. " Tbor? is probably littlo truth in I tho report from Merida that 150 soldicrs lost their lives. It is undoubt edly true, howover, that tho shock was tho greatest since that of 1812, whon j 20,000 persons woro killed. Later ac counts will probably show that this ono, while possibly not as oxtended, j will, novortholoss, bo very severe." i Mr. Norwood is on his way to the general conference in Memphis, Tonn. j At Its conclusion yhe will return to I Venezuola. j Acting Minister Partioman has cabled to tho stato depurtmont at Washington that aid from this country , would bo appreciated. In Venecuela already a largo aim mat bus been j raised and a committee of congress has I been sent to Maracaiba to extend any ? relief in the government's power. What Good Heads Would Mean.

They would savo him days and weeks of timo which ho wasts ovor year wal lowing through tho disgusting iniro of dirt roads. Thoy would reduco to a minimum the wear and tear on wagons and car riages. Thoy would lessen tho oxponso of keeping horses in working order, and vastly less horses would bo required In the country to porform tho farmers' work. They would require less expense to keep them in repair than do tho dirt roads. They would mako'itoasier for a team to pull several tons ovor their smooth Burfuco than to drag a wagon through tho mud. Thoy would afford ready communi cation with tho outside world at ull times of the year. They would spare tho farmer many voxations and norvous strains. Thoy would practically shorten tho distance to tho local markot. They would increase tho demand for country and suburban property. Thoy would bo free from dirt in Summer and mud and ruts in Fall, Winter and Spring. Thoy would bring ovory farming community into closer social relations. Thoy would make an evening ride n pleasuro Instoud of a vexation, as it is now. They would do away with tho ab surd poll tax and supervisor systoia in places whore it is still in uso.

A Tout;H Stoky.?A Bpeolal from Edonwood, Indiana, gives tho follow ing: The Peoria, HI., Transcript of Friday, May lith, contained the fol lowing: '"Last night, during tho heavy storm, two bogs and a fat goose belonging to Sain Wainscott were blown from his barnyard, und they have not boon heard from."' However remurkuble tho statement may seom, theso vory pigs, togothor with the gooso, ure now inhabiting tho barnyard of T. J. Baucook, near this city, where thoy wero dropped by the storm which swept over there at that timo It wus ubout 2 o'clock in the morning when Huneoek was aroused from his slee p by the storm. He went out into the barnyard to look after his stock, and his attention was attracted by tho clouds, in which he saw, during a lightning Hash, the pigs and the goose. Suddenly they dropped to the ground in his yard, and next morning they wero us lively as usual, having suffered only slightly during their perilous trip of 207 miles through the air. The artielo in Tho Pooria paper was shown to Mr. Hancock, who wroto to Mr. Wainscott, asking for a description of tho missing pigs and gooso. Tho de scription tallies perfectly with that of tho animals in Mr. Hnncook's posses sion. He has written to Wainscott to como und got his stock, which ho is convinced belongs to him. ?Tho American Baptist Education Society, in session last week at Sara toga, N.

Nothing appeals so' strongly to a mother's affection as licr daughter just budding Into womanhood, following il an Inntaucc: "Out daughter, Iilanche, now K> years of ape, had boen terribly nflllcted with nervousness, and had lost tho entire uso of her right arm. Mio was In such a condition that wo had to lorn her from school and abandon her mimic les sons. In fact, wo feared St. Vitus dance, and are posltlvo hut for an Invaluable remedy tho would havo had that terrible aflllciion. Wo bad employed physicians, but i t.e received no benefit from thorn. Tho first of hist Augual h)io weighed but 75 pounds, and although she hna taken only threo bottles of Nervine tdio now weighs 100 pounds: her ncrvousuess and symp toms of Ht. Vitus dunce, aro eu.lrely gone, sho attends school regularly, and studies with com fort and ease. Sho has recovered complete use of her arm, hor appctito 'Is splendid, and no money could proouro for our daughtor the health Dr. Mites' Nervine has brought hor.

The seal Is described and is declared to ! bo very handsome, and the Observer goes on to say: "It was recoived from Paris, where is it made, too lato for use, and lias never boon taken from its case. It is the only ouo in existonco. tt was offered by Mr. Bennett Smodes, but tho ladies deemed it too histor ically valuable to be laid away in a cornerstone, and will suggest to Mr, Smcdes that it bo given to tbo State for preservation." It is true that the seal of tbo Confederacy camo too lato to be used, but it is a mistake to sup pose that it ever fell into the bauds of I Dr. Bennett Smedcb.
