OUR FAMILY STORY.
ON THE DOWN GRADE.
-Thold a permit from tbo master
meehanlo (without whloh it is no ueo
t) venture) and a pocketful of good
cigars; so bofore I had been riding on
tho locomotive thirty miles I waa on
good terms with ait hands, said all
hands numboriug a gray-hairod drlvor,
a regular old-timer, by whose side 1
sat as he stood at his levers, and a
young slip of a follow, very handy with
Ms fire.
When wo were well up in the moun
Abb, and just after the old man had
pulled tho wbistl-elevor well down, and
sent, out a blast which resounded
among tho hills llko a roar from a fog
horn, he turned, bade me look from
the oab window, out and down upon
the track. We were crossing tho
Frankenstein trestle, 160 teot high?by
the gulde-book*-and it looks all of that
from the cab window as you cross
Then ho told this story :
"'Fyou look sharp down in th' bot
tom of th' gulch there, young fellow,
you'll see, pllod up, a heap of wrecked
flat oars, protty well covered now by
tho growth of young trees, but still to
be seen 'f you've got good eyos.
" Well! why ray old bones ain't lying
down there undor that wrook, 'stood
of my sailing' up hero llko a bird, 's a
miracle done by a woman, th' smartest
woman and th' bravest in tho whole
mountains.
"Thoro ain't anothor bit of track
like this on th' whole Maine Central,
d'yer see, and thore's preolous few In
this whole country 1 tell yer.
"You see me hittin' her hard as I
^can along here, and she stranglln' fit
^?to burst, up theso grades, with the
lever way down In the corner, tho
wholo machine rod-hot and orylng for
more steam, and at tho same time we
movin' so slew that you'd swoar if one
of tho hrakoys (braKemen) woro 'tor
got out behind and drag his foot he'd
stop her dead, or anothor pound of
freight would throw the machine down,
stall her, seo?
?'Thon again you soo us coming
back, down tho hill, bend up and tull
over tho dashor, so to speak; juBt
droppln' thro' space th'out a pound of
steam boln' used, flro-box wldo open,
fireman singin' " Rock Mo to S'oop,
Mother," and admiring the scenery.
''Thero's nothln' llko your flat
footed Mogul (the central pair of
drivers on the Mogul pattern locomo
tive have no flange) for this moun
tain business; a four-foot-eight wheol,
six drivers, built right onto tbo rails,
gives such a space for friction that you
can't holp s^tfP^Mfc^ Many's tho time,
when^?/>you was handlin' a high
j?MflHRrrdinury, Blx-.'oet drlvt r, you'd
fuujin' and frettin,' and she u
danoln' und Btumblin,' and you luckj
' if you could slack 'em ovor tho top of
th' divide and not havo to doubler "; ll
t'was a Mogul sho'd bo churning her
steam, ealm as a Juno morning, and
walking that procession up tho bill,
slow, mobbo', but with no signs of a
spasm.
"Whon I blow that whistle back
thoro for tho trestle, my momory
slacked back to that inuid >ut I started
to tell you of, and now, pardner. being
as this story will go into print, 1 will
begin at the first, when my boy and I
woro newly como into tho White
Mountuins. 1 as an engineer of the
mountain freight, and no telcgrupb
operator aad agent at tho little station
just undor tho clilfs there at th' eud of
the trestln.
" I disliko to spoak of what followed,
but it's past ana forj.o..ton. Tho boy
wont wild. You'd think ho'd have
had hard work to find boon companions
in the regions, but I'vo noticod n man
can find follows to help him spend his
money a'mobt any whoro country or city.
"I was about to ask tbo super1 to
transfer him to some other station and
get him away from his toraptors when
I noticed a change in tho boy himself,
and you can bot 'twa'n't long 'fore I
got onto tho reason. There was a
woman's gontle face leading him from
ruin.
" Although ho had none of tho usual
chanccB for his courting, way up hore
in the hills, ho kept the odd times and
evonings between tho mountains and
the seaward plains, until finally ho
brought tho plains to tho mountains
for keeps, and then, one mornin', when
I steemcd up to tho station, thoro was
tho boy and 'Princess Alice,' so he
named her, and so tho boys always
called hor.
" Though I say it, you may boliovo
sho deserved tho tittle and It did me
proud to know, tho boy had won for his
>wifo.
" Woll ! This relieved my mind of
most of Its load concerning tho boy ;
twice euch day as I passed up and
down tho line I saw them, this happy
pair, .keeping house among these
peaks, high above tho valley, happy,
on tho modest salary of $T>0 a month!
*? Next on tho programme camo the
baby, a littlo mountaineer. In a short
time a lusty little fellow toddled ubout
th' station platform holding up his
hands to mo to take him Into th' cab
many's th' time the pair of 'em,
""rince and the Princess Alice,
h' mountains and sped away .to
ains but always to return noxtday.
'It was on one of these I got the
i\ \m*ot. Thing3 were going wrong at
y cliffs. Tho gay Siiramor hotels
ow in th' valley, and farther on
ummor company, were alluring, and,
as tho Princess was an expert opera
tor, full many a day sho was loft ulone
with tho wires whllo th' boy was chas
ing pleasures bolow, unmindful of
home
p Not that th' boy was vicious, for
he wasn't that; ho had a rollicking
disposition, too easily lod, perhaps,
Which noodod just tho check it got to
show him tho worth of what he held
abovo th' shadows ho was chasing.
"Ofcour80 I tried to braco up tho
Princess, and I Udked to th' boy, but
neither did much good. At lost he
was rolleved from dutly at tho oliffsyby
my own request and camo with mo
upon th' ongino, where I figured hard
work would show him his folly.
M Ho made a great balk at this, al
though th' boy wouldn't wilfully dis
obey mo, boin' as I'd raised him from
th' babe his poor mother loft, but what
pained mo most of all was his unklnd
noss to Princoss Alico.
Tho bey was sore. Ho would havo It
that tbo Prlncoss had turned him
down, and I gavo him some mighty
-mSgfTrouB languago that didn't soom to
help the caso a bit, though It relieved
my mind. Alico still hold the station
?she and tho baby with the wifo of
the sootion boss, who lived in tho old
station and boardod tho sootion erew,
her only society. So I'd always try to
oheor hor up a bit whonover wo passed,
and I did try to got hor to go to her
folks bolow, but sho was too proud,
and preforred to continue to hold tho
fort,"hoping against hono.
" But the boy usod her moan. I can
soo him now on the very mornin' of
tho day wo tried hor lovo so keenly.
I can sec him turn, from thom both as
they camo out to greet us as we passed
tho little station at the cliffs, Alice
with tho baby in hor arms, and I oan
soo the look of pain that crossed hor
face, though sho called, 'He kind to
? nim, father,' as wo wheeled slowly
\ past up tho grade.
\ "He didn't waste many words
\ between that und our arrival at th'
ttermlnus, you may be sure. I was at
\whito hoat with passion, I throttled
toy tonguo, for I still loved th' boy and
fared not trust either of us to spoak.
\ " Weil, somehow, we got to th' ond
gl". 11 y,WJWiltllt1,H 1 ,. II1","
of th' rini, und for a return load ?oupl- j
ed onto uomc (iftuen Oats loaded with
rough loga from th' head water of th'
Connecticut, ovei St. Johnsbury way.
(;oing to (Joeway. They are a na*ty
oad to haul, lot alone bold down these
Iteep grade*, especially when, a* wae
tho cave with this lot, th' log was so
long that it. took twd Hats to curry
them. Before we'd start from the
terminus I'd lock tho load over, as a
general thing, and figure how she'd
haul, but tula trip I didn't seem to have
much mind to business, kind o' rattled,
you see, by my feelings. So when the
conductor, Fatty Daflf, gave us th' word
we pulled out for th' main Hue.
"New, between the terminus and
the ton of tho divide Is a matter of
five miles gentle up grade ; then when
we pitch ovor the summit the down
grades commence and continue for
nine straight-away miles, falling 116
feet to the mile.
"Hundrods of times bud I tipped a
lino of cars ovor that divide without a
break, but my hand and head wore out
that day, and the first I knew the
train parted right on top of the hill.
Relieved of tho load behind the old
Mogul leaped llko a hound ahead and
a second link gave way. The engine
was clear of its load now. and behind
us followed six flats linked together
and loaded with sixty foot-logs. The
remalnedor of the train remained
with 'Fatty* on the other sido of tliq
divide.
" It didn't take but a moment on
that grado for us to get a gait on, I
tell yor, nor for the runaways to fol
low. 'Ford I'd got tho machine in
hand they was rolling so I didn't daro
to try and oouplo running, tho' a mo
ment or two later I wished I had ; but
whon I looked back at 'em. I saw th'
shook of parting had brokon a stake
which hold th' logs and I oxpooted
every minute they'd take a tumble and
derail the whole outfit, and we'd be
safer ahead. So I just kept out' of
their way and lot things bile.
" My, now wo did sail! It was nip
an'-tuok between th' Mogul and th' log
train, an' was elose for a mllo or two,
and then I trlod working steam to
mako, if I could, somowhoro below, a
siding. Boforo I pullod th' throttlo
sho was rooking like a cradle and th'
boll was a-tolling and a-tolllng with
tho motion, fit to break it; so you can
judgo how sho moved whon I put
steam into her.
" At'five miles from tho broak-way
tho speed was awful; for a faot I hadn't
th' nerve to keep hor stoumlng, an' It
didn't seoui to dotany good either, for
that blamed log-loaded wrock was
camping hot on our trail.
" As for th' boy ho simply couldn't
stand on th' floor o' that cab, was a
rocking-and a-curving so in an' out,
following that mountain trail of stool,
an' as 1 looked across and saw him ?
slinging to hie seat, I pitied him from I
th' bottom o' my hoart, but th' mom'ry
o' what ho'd done that vory day 'rose
In my mlhd, and, tho' I oughter not
done It, I called to him: 'You'd hot
ter speak to your wlfo an' baby, hadn't
yor, whon you go by tho station; '*
your ladt ehanco, for your goln' plumb
to holl fastorn' any gait you ovor run
boforc,' and just then wo rounded th'
shouldor of Mount Wllloo and there
was th' Saco Valley stretchln' away
clear to th' lower gateway of th'
notch, with tho station and trestle ali
in plain vlow five miles ahead.
"You call it beautiful today, but
just think what it is to a man whoV
deud sure he's goln' down into that
vulloy, in that shadow of a^"'
" Five miles at that speed moans leys
than five minutes; mighty short time
to make your peace with God. 1
thought, bettor bugiu with tho l>oy.
So I softened, and turned to speak to
him again, when 1 see him give a
start, ao a figure in skirts appeared
upon th' little atatiou platform ahead.
You see there's not much vegotution
to obstruct tbo vlow ; It's mostly bald
rock, and tho station stauds woll out
into tho valley from whero wo wut
skirtin' tho mountain walls, so when
wo caught sight of Alico at the station
<he also saw us Hying down th' vuliey,
and understood our plight.
"If I'd bom standin' bosido her I'd
never asked her to cro.-s that IIUO feot
of trestle, botweon the cliffs and in th'
faco o' that Hying machine, to save our
lives. Likewise, 'f I'd had any me
he'd speak to hor with the whistle I'd
nevor allowed th' boy to touch tho
lover. As It was, however, first thing
I knew he was by my sido and jerking
away at tho whistlo with a series oi
long and short blasts, which 1 after
ward learned was the Morse ; some
thing like : Save us, tho switch !
"This ho kept repeating wMlo wo
swept down upon tho trestle, although
I think 'twas out a moment beforo the
Princess caught on, for we saw her
disappear In the houso for a moment,
whloh was necoesary to get th' switoh
key, thon camo hurriedly out again
and start boldly to cross tho trebtlo, to
tho switch just at tho further end,
which led a short spur track from the
main-lino, to the section-boss's tool
houso placod just on th' brink of the
chasm.
"As she advanced, cautiously yot
swiftly, acvoss that narrow footpath, I
reuched'and hold tho arm that wa?
calling her, and silenced tho whistlo;
th?n forgot our own peril in hor.
" Madiy sho flow across tho ties, and
when I saw that she had un even
chance to reach therswltch in timo, 1
turned my attention toward the wreck
bohtud, determinod to do my part to
help her.
"You know what a railroad man
calls a runnin' switch ? It's a com
mon thing and just what th' Princess
was bont on performiu'; I know as
wall's if she'd told me. To do it sho
must reach tho switch, unlock it, nnd
stand by its sido ready to pull th' pin
after tho engine had pussed, and throw
th' switch points on ?o the short Bpur
track boforo tho runaway could follow
us on tho trebtlo. Now, for tho time,
I bogan to think wo had a chance and
to got a movo on. I had m' hand on
tho rovorsln' levor, for I was bound if
the Princess didn't eross in time, to
rovorso the maclilno, ovon if th' act at
that speed should throw us off th' Iron,
for I couldn't and wouldn't ruu hor
down without a move to save her, and
all this tlmo thoro sho was crossin'
the trestle, wo not more than half a
milo away, and that wrook sprinting
along about 100 yards bohind.
"Thon I mado a braco and stood up,
with ono hand graspln' th' throttlo,
tho other grippin' like a vice tho ro
vorsin'-lovor, and, thus supported,
took a lookout ahend. Thoro she
stood at the switch. She'd wound he ?
skirts tightly around her and held
thorn between her knees. Oh, sho
was a cool ono, an' I know whon I
saw hor there, that she'd made the
runnin' switch 0. K.?and sure enough.
"Th' timo was ripe for aotin'an'I
Sive ole Mogul the steam, klokod tho
ampers open, and jammed the revers
ing gear way down in the cornor. My !
how she did jump, an' the next instant
wo passed tho switoh an' slid out onto
tho trostlo.
" It didn't tako ub long to cross ; wo
fairly flow across th' gorgo ; but short
as It was, thoro was timo onough to
soo th' wrook run onto tho spur, and,
taking th' tool-house at th' end with
it, mako th' lea) into th' guloh.
"Thoro ain't over going to bo a
sight llko that again, at least to us.
Six flats, linked togothor and doubly
linked by (giant logs, takln' a plunge
of 260 feot, when going at sixty-five
milos-an-hour gait, just makes a show
that is awful, and when you Qguro
that them samo cars was bent on
crushing the lifo out of yer, it adds to
the display.
" If I should toll yor how far wo run
before I could hold ole Mogul, yer
would't believe It, but hold her I did,
after a time, and we run back to And
tho Princess. She still stood besldo
th' switch as we hove In sight, and I
hotloed by th' target that sho'd thrown
I it back on the main line and looked it,
according to rule. Then wo run up
alongside, and boforo I could bring th'
machine to a standstill, th' dot was on
the ground by her side, ana had th'
Princess in his aims. Then 'twant
long before I was off the engine, too,
and we was mighty tender handing
her up Into the cab between us, I ti ll
yer, an* hack we rolled lo tu' station
to let out tho baby. Wo was just
bavin' a general boo-booand lovo feast,
aP round, when Alice answered a cull
On the* wire an' there was * Fatty ' Duff,
still on tb' top of th* divido callln' for
his engineer.
"So Allee reported th' break and
th' wreck to the despatoher, and the
boy and I went back up th* grade.
Bless yer! s railroad man can t stop
for anything of that sort, his time's th'
company's every llvlu' minute.
" Well, we'll sidetrack here soon to
let th' express go by ; then you'll see
th' boy ; he's runnin' her, and he'll al
ways wave his hand out th' cab to
his olo man. And the Princess ? She's
in a Queen Anne of her own down in
Portland, with a whole brood oi Httle
ones. Thank God. I'll be with'm all
tonight, if everything holds to
gether."_ ^__
A FEARFUL WARNING.
Is Temperate Drinking SafloV?The
Sad Story of a Wrctoned Woman.
At a certain town meeting in Penn
sylvania, the question came up
whothor any person should bo licensed
to.sell rum. The clergyman, tho
deacon and tho physician, atraugo as
it may appoar, all favored it. Only
one man spoke against It, because of
the mischief it did. Tho question was
about to be put, whon, all at once,
thero arose from one coruor of tho
room, a miserable woman. Sho was
thinly olad, and her appouranoo In
dicated the utmost wretchedness, und
that her mortal career was almost
closed.
After a moment's silence, and all
eyos being fixed upon hor, see stretch
ed her attenuated body to its utmost
height, and then hor long arms their
length, and raising her voice to a
shrill pitch, she called to all to look
upon nor. "Yes," said she "look
upou me, and thon hoar mo. All that
tho last speaker has said, relative to
temperate drinking as a boverago, as
the father of drunkenoss, Is true. All
practice, all experlonco, declares its
truth. All drlnklcg of alcoholic
poison, as a beverago in health, Is
excess. Look upon mo. You all know
mo, or once did. You all know that I
was once the mistress of tho best farm
In tho towti ; you all know, too, I had
one of the best, tho most dovotod,
of husbands. You ail know I had
five, noblo-hoartod, industrious boys.
Where aro they now P Doctor, where
aro they now ? You all know. You
all know they He in a row, side, by
side, in yondor.church-yord ; all, ovory
one of thom, filling tho drunkard's
grave.
"They woro all taught that temp
erate drinking waf safe?that excoss
alone ought to bo avoided, and they
nevor acknowledged excess. They
quoted you, and you, and you (poiutiug
with a shred of a linger to tbe minister,
deacon and doctors), as authority.
They thought ihomsolvos safe under
such teachers. But l saw tbo gradual
chaugo coming over my family and its
prospects, with dismay and horror. I
folt that wo were all to boovorwbolmod
in ono common ruin. 1 tried lo ward
off the blow.
" l tried to break tho spell, tho do
lusivo spell in which the Idea of tbo
benefits of temperate drinking hud
involved my husband and sons. I
beguod, I pruyed, but the odds woro
against mo. The minister said tho
poison that was destroying my husband
and boys was a good ereaturo of God;
tho deacon, who sits under tho pulpit
there, and took one farm to pay his
rum bills, sold thom tho poison ; tho
doctor said a little was good,, und tho
excess only ought to bo avoided. My
poor husband und dear boys foil into
the snare, and they could not escape,
and ono after another was conveyed
to the sorrowful grave of tho drunk
ard.
" Now, look at mo again ; you prob
ably ueo mo for the, loot time. My
sands havo almost run. 1 havodrugged
:uy exhausted frame from my present
homo, tho poorhouoc, to warn you all;
to warn you, deacon; to warn you, false
teacher of God's word."
And with her arms Hung high, and
her tall frame stretched to its utmost,
and hor voico raised to an unearthly
pitch, sho exclaimed: "1 shall soon
stand beforo tbo judgment ocat of God.'
I shall meet you there, you false guides,
and be a witness against you all." Tho
miserable woman vanished. A dead
silence pervaded the assembly; tho
minister, tho deacon and the physician
hung their heads ; and, when the Pre*
s ilent put the question, "Shall any
license be granted for the sale of spirit
u lus liquors?" tho unanimous response
was " No!"

SKRTlH ABOUT THE FAMOUS
MOONHHINIOlt.
An Interesting Talk About Making
Illicit Whiskey?Incidents nf the
Great Moonshine War in tho Moun
tains of South Carolina.
News und Courier.
Major Lewis It. Redmond, a scorce
of years since tho king of the Carolina
mountains and the terror of tho re
venuo oHlcials in Pickens und Oconeo
counties, is in tho city and is stopping
at tho Darwin House, Oil King street.
Mr. Redmond, as is well known, now
resides on hiB farm near Soneca, und
does a good business in raising stock
and manufacturing lumber. Ho is in
Charleston at presont with a shipment
of sheop and cattlo, his own and a
neighbor's from Oconeo County.
Tho ox-moonshinor greeted a ro
portor .cordially hist night, when called
on at tho Darwin House, und said that
this was not tho first timo by a groat
many that reporters had wanted him
to talk, and that ho wasn't for saying
very muoh, and that ho had often sent
them away faster than they came. Ho
is a line looking man, about six foot
high, with hign forehead and wavy
black hair. Ho wears sido whiskers
and mustache and his dark eyos Hash
With amusement, or interest, US memory
calls forth some scone. An impression
prevails that he is an old man, but far
from It: ho is not yet forty. After
chatting a while about his placo, tho
price, of cattle and his interesting
family, tho Major was induced to say
something of his old life.
" I was but little moro than a boy
whon I first mado whiskey," ho said,
"and my flrst still was right close to tho
wagon road and?that was boforo tho
revenue officers got up our way In
Oconoe. We had heard about, thom
down around Columbia, but thoy bad n't,
got further north much. Now as to tho
making of a little whiskey, of courso
the people In that sootion couldn't see
tho harm in it. You see corn grows
easy enough on thoso eido hill farms,
but gotting it to a market is a dlfforont
matter. Very likely the farm was in
a valley and the only oxit was a moun
tain pi th. The corn would havo to bo
carried ovor tho mouutulu to a rood
and a wagon probably hired to tran
sport it. Tho vulue was well eat up
in expenses whon it reached a market
as corn. But on tho othor hand, turn
ten bus'iels into twenty gallons of
whiskey, and at a do'lar a gallon the
farmer would got enough money to
buy the little necessaries that ho
eon hi n't raise woll. I started my still
and soon had a good thing in it. If 1
I made good whiskey it is not to brag,
for I only made what I could guarantee,
and I had no trouble in dispoting of it.
After a while tho rovonues began
ooming about the sootion and naturally
as they moved up I movod my still
book until I woe right in the moun
tains. I don't know why it was, but
the ofHcors located Btills all around mo
and eaoh timo they mado a soizure I
would say to rayto'f, "Well, I'll go
next,' but still they couldn't como up
with rue. Then they seemed to gotj
desperate and rewards were offered
for me; and, of course, I waa willing
thou to keep them en the hunt. I kopt
right on making good whiskey and
never lacked a market for it. The
otlleera got on to my selling places and
would lay for me, but I didn't show up
when thoy were around. I found it
heft not to tell evon my customers
exactly when to expect me, for some
how the dato would leak out and a
gang of onloers would bo on hand. 1
would say, except me botweon the
15th and 30th, and thon come in quietly
on the 13th or 14th.
"The people In tho country about
were very generally my friends, but
tho offer of a roward for my capture
was too much for some neighbors of
mine, and one day while I was out in
one of my fields, looking after my
hands, I hoard a voice say, 'Put up
your hands.' I looked around and not
forty yards off were three neighbors
and some revenues with pistols and
Winchesters on me. I hadn't a weapon
of any kind and it was across a hill
and the river to my house. I just
walked away from them, up the hill,
they peppering away, but never touch
ing me, nor did they move up on me.
It was a pretty hot walk and I confess
that when a bullet cut a branch just
over my head and covored me with
chips and trash I was so mad I turned
and oussod them. I couldn't help it.
Ovor the other side of the hill I
hurried and got my gun and came
back, but my neighbors had decided
then that thoy didn't want to capture
me after all and left. And they missed
a crop that season, too, for they
thought the neighborhood unhealthy
and didn't como back for a good while.
" There was one in the party, how
ever, that asked me to forgive him and
when ho owned up to being In the
wrong I gavo him my hand. It was
some time afterwards, of course. He
was one of my best frlerds after that
and would havo done anything for ine.
" I don't like to talk about my cap
ture 'and all that. In fact I novor do.
But I can say that In my troubles I
had some stanch and truo friends, none
of whom wcro more faithful to me
than Judge Field.
" I shall rover forget tho visit of a
reporter from Tho Nows and Courlor,
Charleston, out at my house in the
mountains, while tho rovenues wore
red-hot aftor mo. He was a lino young
follow and camo with Judge Fiolds, so
I know ho was all right, but ho was by
no moans easy. I remember that af lot
spending the night out there, and
when Oxlng to go back, he told mo
that ho was afraid that tho revonue
officers would turn up and that I sus
{>ooting him of foul pluy, would plug
dm first thing. It was amusing to me,
but ho was, no doubt, In earnest. He
wout about that boction with mo and
was 600? convinced that tho reports
spread by the revenue officers about
my being a terror to tho natlvos was
not true and, In fact, thut 1 was well

APPLRS AS FOOD.
A Fruit With Karo Medicinal und
Hygienic Properties.
Dr. Stolzer Btiotzor, in ono of tin
foreign medical reviews, writes as
follows on the medicinal and hygienic
properties of apples! " Apples eaten
immediately before bedtime promote
tho health generally. Itsdietotical as
well as alimentary substunco is of the ;
highest order. It contains moro phos
phoric acid in an ca.-ily digested com
bination than any other vegetable pro
duct. It is (1) good brain food; (2)
oxcites the functions of tho liver ; (3)
promotes a sound and quiet sleep j (4)
disinfects the mouth ; (5) agglutinates
tho surplus acids of tho stomach ; (6)
paralyzes hommorrhoidal disturbances;
(7) helps tho accretions of tho kidneys
and prevents culdiiiouj concretion 5 (&)
obviates indigestion and (!)) io a good
preventive against diseases of tho
throat."
Ripo apples, raw or cookod, eaten in
moderation, as food,' and not stuffod
down in quantities when the stomach
is already full, are quite as good as
many medicines and vastly eheapor
and'more pleasant to take. Fruit was
man's first God-given food ; and while
under tho curse of fruits often full and
man is forced to mako use of inferior
articles of food, and oat his bread in
the sweat of his faco, yet It is a strange
illustration of human folly to soo
bushels of excollont apples rotting on
tho ground, wbilo none aro soon on
tho owner's tablo and tho poor victim
of a perverted appetite sits down to
foed at his illspread board on salt pork
washed down with hard cider.
A treasury export declares that thero
is enough of stiver now hold by tho

Tbo news-hungry reporters were i
glad to find Governor Evans In bis
otlloe yestorday because they (olt
reasonably sure of getting at loast nno
good item. Thoy were not disap
pointed.
Govornor Evans was asked regarding
the Dispensary law and his projects
for its enforcement. Ue said :
" You can state that no applications
will hereafter be received for posi
tions en the constabulary forco. In
stead of Increasing tho force we are
going to out down and give tho cRIes
and towns a chance to enforce the Dis
pensary law without the iuterference
of State officers. They will bo allowed
to enforce it in their own way, and it
they do it there will bo uu nooj^ity
for a return to tho present plan or any
other plan."
M To how many men are you going
to out the force ?"
" We expect to cut it down to about
thirty-five," he answered, "about one
from each county. Wo havo alroudy
cut four or five mon off. We now
have about eighty mon employed."
Asked as to what disposition will be
mado of tho small foroo to be employed,
Govornor Evans answered that thoy
will be sent to tho country and away
from the oitios and towns. A largo
number of them, he said, will bo placed
on tho border of tbls State and North
Carolina, and bordering on this State,
are four prohibition counties. A groat
deal of wr'skey is mado In those
counties and Is rut across into this
State and sold. Tho purpose of Govor
nor Evans will bo to ha/e those men
watched and arrestod. They will not
bo trlod In South Carolina, but will be
sent baok into thoir own State for trial
on tho charge of making whiskoy.
Tl o eharooB of conviction will bo
greater than in this State.
Govornor Evuns was asked as to
what tho cities and towns uro doing
about enforcing tho law. He answor
od that so fur as ho hud hoard they
are doing what thoy can to carry it out
to tho letter. "Tho towns which
bavo passed ordinances instructing
and giving thoir officers tho power to
onforcc tho law will, as l havo stated,"
ho continued, "be allowed to onforco
tho law In their own way. Tbo towns
which do not pass ordinances to have
i tho law enforced within tho next thirty
days will 1x3 aided und will havo the
laws passed for them." Whllo tho
Govornor did not say It In so i many
words that ho 'mount thai - tho metro
politan polioo law would bo put'in op
oration in tbo rofactory towns.
Darlington is supposed to be ono of
these towns. That town passed an ov
linuneo instructing the police to en
force tho law before the iDarlington
riot. After tho riot it is said that the
town council repealed the ordinance.
All tho largo cities of the State.
Charleston, Columbia and Greenville,
aro enforcing tho law. Greenville's
muyor, James T. Williams, visited
Covernor Evans personally and
promisod that the law should bo ct'r
rlod out. Sumter, Alken and Florence
havo passed ordinances, giving their
police power to enforce too law. Many
of tho smaller towns have done like
wise.
Governor Evans says that the rail
roads have promised that they will
hereafter aid in tho enforcement of
tho law by refusing to haul contra
band goods ?that is, when they know
that the goods are contraband. So the
outlook is for a quiet enforcement of
tho famous law by municipal authori
tio?.
If Governor Evan finds that the
municipalities aro not earnestly trying
to carry out tbo law bo will take a
baud and metropolitan policemen will
decorate the street? of a number of
places. An earnest, honest effort on
tho part of the municipal authorities
ovorywhere is all that the Governor
asks or expects.

Savin- Ills Uucuil.
It was Christmas day of 18U4, that
General Lioo invited a number of Con
federate gonerals to dine with him.
His sorvant Ephraim, who hud been
his personal attendant for some timo,
seemed less at his ease than usual.
Tho guests appeared, and dinner was
servod in the Gonoral's tent, on u rough
pine tablo, and consisted of boiled
cabbage, on tho top of which rested a
pioco of bacon about throe inches
squro. As General Loo helped eueh
guest, he asked him to have a slice of
bacon. As the quostion was asked,
Ephraim gave positive signs of terror.
The dinner concluded with the piece
of bacon uudiminished In si/.e, each
guest having refused. As the guests
loft tho tont. General Leo turned to
Ephraim, and said, in a low voico :
"?Ephraim, weliavo another cabbage,
have wo not ?"
Tho answer WtiS! " Yes, sah, Marse
Bob. Wo got anuddor cabbage, sab."
"Then. Ephraim,''said tho General,
" savo tho piece of bacon to cook with
that cabbage."'
The prompt and deeis'vo reply was :
No, sah, Marse Iiob, I can't do dat!
I jis' borrow dat piece of bacon for
reasonin' from a friend ober dar iu
Rlohmon', and I done gib up my parole
ob honor dat I'll gib him buck dat
same bucon what I borrow."
General Leo lolt tho tent without
comment, aud tho bucon was returned.
NUT GRASS.
For a long time complaint lias been
mudo by farmers about the annoyance
caused by tho growth and spread of
nut gruss or "coco," on their premises.
Inquiry bos been made, for remedy
against this nuisance.?The following
extract from an article by Hon. Goorge
D. Tillmau In The Dotunist for issii
may ho of interest and profit to any of
our farmers who may bo annoyed by
this grass :
Tho plan of oamptign to extirpate
nut grabt) is simply to prevent it mu
turine seed above ground. Neat ly
everybody thinks that the nuisance re
produces Itself from tho nut alone,
wherous it proptlgato a thousand times
more from the seed. Hence, to
olTectually and quickly destroy nut
grass on any hind Infested with it, tho
soil should be frequently stirred durlug
the growing period o" summer so us to
s imuiate each nut tuber ami soed to
sprout. It is a waste of effort to attack
coco in winter, either by digging, or
plowing, or turning hogs on it. The
best time for lighting it is between
midsummer and frost time Although
myriads of tho sprigs will show them
selves above ground In a day or two
after each worklug of tho soil, oven in
tho spring months, yet no seed stem
will shoot, up till lato in the season,
and tho secret of success, as boforo rc
markel, is merely to cut down every
lull stein, while in the llowot'ing stage
lit the latest., and the soont r the bel
ter. The old method for destroying
coco, by cutting iu olT under the sur
faou of the ground evorytlmo a sprig
appears above tho surface, is a use
less expenditure of labor. The
ground should bo often stirred with
the plow or hoe, from April to frost,
us before mo*.tinned, to make evory
nut and seed come up if possible, und
as soon as possible, but there is no ur
puont neeossliv.? a> fur as eradicating
the i. ra;s Is one -mod to kill its spi i>j>
until they begin to shoot up seed
stalks. I'or this purpose it is only re
quisite to plow or chop down the grass
at tho regular intervals of working In
dian corn, collurds or any crop. Still
it is advhsatle to plant, the land in
some, tall-growing crop which shall
I neither cover nor obscure the COCO
I stems, and thus keep them from (being
.observed a 'd destroyed. lly tin
above m< d two years are ample
I time In which to rid any ground of co
co. In fact, one season is sufficient to
; eradicate it. oxoopt that a few scatter
I ing sprigs will show themselves in sub
bOquu )t years which csin easily bo pre
vented from going to seeil by close at
tention. One cause that has enabled
coco so long and so defiantly to hohl
its sway in the South is that wo have
so few crops which ar ? hoed or plowed
in tho fail of tho year. This, together
with the popular error that coco pro
| paguto from tho nut alone, explains
i tho whole storp of its universal
; triumph over the patience, sweat,
j curses, and blows of the, millions who
' have warred on it.
