Deacon holden's....
PFT sin.
*?? -
The pastor at tioshcn Coruers had
preached a close, practical sermon on
tho Hins that do so easily beset us.
Uncle reter Twitoboll and Deacon
Holden camo out of the meeting bouse
and *t*rted on their homeward way to
gether. Uncle Peter's cano went down
uuQRrlhe stony road with strong em
phasis, us ho began :
"Tell ye now, that was a powerful
?arehln' discourse Brother Jenks give
us this mornin'?eh, deacon V"
" Wall, tollerbly so, to some folks,
I expect, but he didn't bear down on
wine pints as he'd orter, and left out a
([ood many aa bad orter been fetched
d. Ef Pd been preaehin' on that air
subjick, with Squalr Bowie's a-settin'
right afore me, 1 should 'a' been moved
to say suthin' about drlnkln' and takln'
onlawful intrust, but ministers is
notbln' but alrthlu vessels, the best on
'em, and a big paw rent bides a'good
many bosotmenWj."
' " Sho, now, deacon, I wouldn't say
that of I was you"?don't appoar to
sound like tho charity that thluketh
no ovil. There was one or two pints I
took pertlkelar, notice on, one was
that a man's bosottlu' Bins ain't apt to
be markod sins, so plain that every
body calls V.hi by their right names?
we talk about 'em as only our ways, as
of that made 'em all right?whereas,
Scripter/ says It's the 'leetle foxes that
spile the vine.' 'Nd then agin. It's a
sight easier to see other folks' besot
. men tip than our own, es the Good Book
aaya?a mote In our neighbor's oye,
and a beam in our own."
" Ab to that," began the deacoa?but
juBt hero the road parted, and the two
wont thoir different ways.
The deacon's thoughts having been
led into a personal channel by Uncle
Peter's last remark, ran on somewhat
In this wise:
41 'Oordin' to Brother Jeuks the' is
some portlkelar sin that besets every
one of* us. Now I can't oall to mind

n%igJhbor . without -rebuke.
What's unbeknown can't bo cured ; of
I've got'era, the Lord'U hev to make
'em known."
Dinner was smoking on tho table
when the deacon reached home. After
his customary acknowledgment on tho
divine bounty, he surveyed the table
with a look of disapproval.
" Mary Ann," he sharply ordored,
" you go down Bullar and fetch up some
Sickles. How anybody kin git baked
eanB, and leave off the plcklos, boats
all."
"But; father," his wife timidly vent
ured, "you said last Sunday pickles
make your tooth aohe, bo I got cider
applesass to-day."
" 'Spos'nl did bay so, that's no reason
why 1 shouldn't hev pickles on tho
table ; that elder applesass ain't biled
down half enough. Here, Ezry, you
take this 'ere coffeepot and sot it back
onto the coals ; 1 wish it could be kept
in mind, that coffee orter bo hot," with
a masterful look at his wife.
By way of creating a divorslon,
'Slab. Stearns, the hired man, reniark
' ed to Mrs. Holden :
"I thought we bad fust-rato slngin'
to-day"."
Before she could reply, tho deacon
took up the word.
"Slngin'! Wall, ef screechln' is good
Bingin', I should say we had?but 'tain't
nowise beflttin' the sanutooary, as a
part o'worship. What.Phineas Gat
ohell Is sot up there in the gallery for
Is more than I can tell; hain't no voice
for p'agin', and what ho has needs
Hin' us bail as Amos's old bass viol."
"Mother," asked Mary Ann, "did
you notice Jim Pettengill's got homo ?
How glad his folk must be !"
" specially his mother?I'm glad
for her," said Mrs. Holden. "They
say Jim's done well out there in lowy."
" Ef ho has, he's tho fust Pottongill
as ever did do woll," pronounced tho
deacon. "The sins o' the fathers is
visited upon the childurn, and pwy
--*^Tin^??lUUJl?-J^ tho
? Pottongills has allors como out at tho
leetlo ond o' tho horn."
By this time nobody carod to oncoun
tor tho eross-curront of contradiction
' any further, ko tho meal was finished
Kin silence.
" Plough tho south rueddor to-day,
'Slab," directed tho deacon Monday
morning, "and try your hand at a
straight fu?rer for once."
Now if thero was ouo thing upon
which 'Siah prided blmsolf it was his'
' skill in ploughing. He know ho had
a neighborhood reputation for that.
"Some folks eun't soe when things
air straight," he said half to himself
as he went out.
The same morning Brother Pike,
preparing to go out on his round of
church collecting, said to his wife :
"I've a n ion to begin this time
over on Dennett's hill, and tako this
neighborhood last. Tho faot is Broth
er Holden's lirst-rate to pay : but ho
has a way of talking that puts mo all
onto' sorts?nobody, nornothin', seems
to bo just right, according to his view,
and 1 always get clear down to the
heel about tho church whon I hour him
talk."
So It was late in tho afternoon whon
Brothor Pike's, "hullo" brought the
deacon to the 'roadside. Leaning on
h 1b hoe handlo beside tho stone wall,
he remarked Interrogatively:
" I expect you'?o had a purty tough
time on'tV Folks in general ain't
over anxiouB to pay up tho Ixird's
dues."
" Well, I'm glad to say I havon't
found them backwnrd to-day. Just
look there now," -pointing to a labo
riously uorawled line which proved on
careful examination to read : " Ltddy
Peters, five dollars." "Some self
denial it's taken to get that five dol
lars, and some faith, too, as to how sho
oan get along without it."
" Sijlf-dcniaPrt a good thing ef it's
^-pfActiscd where it's most needed, and
es to faltb, we're command to add to
it, virtoo. Ef Widder Peters'd just
bridle that onruly tongvo o' hern, it
would help tho causo moro'n twice
live dollars. Here's my cues, jest fifty,
ef I've counted right, flow much did
f yon git ter-day?"
" Above two hundred."
Orter bin three; tell ye what
Brothor Pike, you'ro too easy ; you'd
orter drive 'em rieht up to the mark,
and have all the tithes fetched in. It's
a moans o' grace for a man to bo told
hie fallln's, and tbore Is them that
nays a lectio more snap In colleotin'
would bring the riggers up a good deal
higher.1
As 'Slab drove up to tho bar? just
, then Brother Plko very 'willingly de
parted.
"Wall." Bald 'Slab, looking back
ovor thoievol^re^^^f^^^^hUirown
By prayer mooting time that night
the deacon felt himself prepared to re
prove and rebuke with more than ordi
nary fervor. It was the burden.of his
prayer that- the watohman upon the
walls of Zion might be no longer dumb
dogs that did not bark, that they
might ory aloud and spare not, show
ing the people thoir transgressions, and
the house of Israel their sins. He
warned-the brethreu again covetouB
ness, which is Idolatry ; expressed bis
conviction that a good many had a
form of godliness without its power;
and exhorted each and all to put away
their easily besetting sins, winding
up with the declaration : "As for
me. and my house, we will serve the
Lord.'A
Walking .homeward in the dark
ness of a clouded night, the deacon
oould not help overhearing a conver
sation going on just before him. It
was Uncle Fetor's voice that was say
ing: , ^
" You've got a good place this year,
'Slab, a fust-rate good place; %jou'd
orter git a good deal of spiritoeal good,
whilst you'ro under that ruff."
There was a little pause, and then
'Siah burst out :
" I git good vittles, and good pay
enuiv, but as to splrltooal good, any
body as gits that 1 lvin' with the deacon
wllfhev to take it by the rule o'con
traries, now I tell yol"
" Why, why, 'Siah 1?what ou airth
possesses yo to talkthat way V Doacon's
one o' the pillars o' the church ! 'Tai n't
many bos his gift o' speech ! Brother
Jonks hissolf couldn't a spoko raoro
powerful than he did tor-night."
" Ef church pillars Is sot up fur (oiks
to stumble against, 1 grant yo, bo's
one to all intents 'nd purposes. Uncle
Potor, I ain't give to talkln' agin the
folks I live with, but seoin' you'vo
started it, I'm jost goiu' on to tell yo,
of all the contrary, contradictious,

" Ain't you aleotlo ha'sh now, 'Siah V
I oxpeot ho hes his faults, like all tho
rest on us?poor faillablo crittors we
bo?but I b'liove the deacon's got tho
root o' the matter in him. Pint out
somebody, of yo cau, thet's more honest
and fair in de&lfn's than ho is !"
" I say 'tain't honest to pilo on blamo
where 'tain't duo, and keep back overy
single word o'praiso that folks deserves
and ortor hov. Ef I was testifyin.'-be
fore a jury I should say josf as Vm

All he has tor say is piokin' Haws. As
to the root o' tho mutter, as yo call it,
mabbo 1 ain't no jedge, but 1 do know
there's an awful heavy topgrowth o'
thorns and briers."
"Wall 'Siah, 1 dunno what tor say.
I'm dretful sorry to hear ye say sich
things about tho deacon, sich a nice
fainbly ns bo's a-bringin' up. too !"
" What do ye 'spose I hear thom
children say one day up overhead in

he'd rather not go to Heaven ef pa was

? 1 guess pa'll hov to stay in the front

a deacon, end ho won't dare to be
cross amongst tho angels !' Now, I
jest want tor know. Undo Peter,
what religion is good for ef it don't
make a man pleasantor to live with
overy day ?"
Here tho talk came to an end.
Never in all his life before had
Samuel Holden boon made to see him
self as others suw him. At lh-st ho was
stunned and bowilderod, feeling as
though his hearing was playing him
false. He, tobe spoken of as a stum
bling block ! Anger, resentment and
mortified prido struggled for tho mas
tery. But presently all those gave
way bofore an overwhelming convic
tion of sin. Tho Spirit of God sent
homo tho truth like a searchlight
upon his conscience, bringing out his
ways and words in,their true colors,
till he was ready to cry out: 11 abhor
niystrff^---? - ...
Tho deacon was fh'friti .accustomed
seat at the next prayer moetliry,-b?t
evidently not in his usual state of
mind. Through prayers and exhor
tations and singing ho sat silent, with
bent head, evidently unconscious of
tho wondering glunecs turned toward
him. When tho meeting drow to
wards u elose, ho rose unsteadily,
leaning heavily upon tho desk before
him. His face was working with omo
tion in tho strugglo for utturunco.
"Brethren and friends," ho said,
" I've been led to see myself a sinner
before God and man. It's an awful
thing to know that you'vo been a
stumblin' block ! A stumblin' block !
That's what I've been all these years,
'nd now, my besottin' sin has found mo
out. It's my fault-flndin' manner o'
speech that's been a reproach to tho
came, and made, religion an offence
and a byword ! I've provoked my
children to wrath, 'nd cUt.be it- souls is
lost, their blood Ml bo on my head. I
hain't exercised charity. I've spoken
evil of my fellow inou. I hain't studied
to pleaso my neighbor for his good to
oddytica'ion. I ask your prayers, that
God bo merciful to me, a sinner."
Tho doacon's manner, ro less than
his words, made a deep Impression.
The light In which ho saw himself so
clearly rellected Into overy heart,
bringing into viow a multitudo of be
setting sins, unsuspected hitherto.
After a solomn sllonoo, Uncle Peter's
tremulous voice said : " Lot us pray,"
and all, with ono accorj, fell on their
knees?a company of sinnors boforo a
holy God. As the good old man poured
out his whole soul in tho words of
solf-abasing contrition, sobs and audi
ble responses came from all parts of
tho room. The influence of that moot
ing made itself felt in " great ?Garch
ings of heart," in mutual confession
and forgiveness, and walking softly
before God. This was tho beginning
of the great revival at Goshen Corners.

B. ilandull writes as follows in the
Augusta Chronicle : Occasionally our
gold sjacd.it d blond* ask us if wo wish
to " Mex e inizo " this country, that
is, put it on a freo coinage or silver
basis. As nearly ovory intelligent
man who has personally visited Mexico
tolls one unvarying story of Mexican
prosperity, I am inolined to think that
about 90 por cent, of our peoplo would
be glad to have that kind of change in
their nil ">s. Our Minister to Mexico,
who i? hi re on lcavo of absence, says
"American capital is building up
iVloxclaii prosperity." When a senator,
General itansora helped, by bib vote,

did not know as muob about the money

any rate, his testimony Is official aid
valuable. American capital builds up

ol' Buffering?Help fur the DeetiJ
tut?.
If Gordon Noel Hurte) never writes
anything inoro, "Too Bailiff's Sale"
is Htiificleut to draw love and praise
Jjx'in all good people. It had kindled
a kindly feeling toward him, and what
is better, it baa warmed our pity and
enlisted our sympathy for the suffer
ing poor. How easy It is for hearts to
get hard and charity to grow cold.
The salo of the poor tenant's house
hold goods to pay the landlord's rent Is
a much more common thing than Is
supposed. The picture is not over
drawn. If it Is not sold by the consta
ble it is by the auctioneer. I never
Euss .an auction sale of old furniture
ut what I linger and look and ponder.
There is an unwritten ohapter of want
and misery in every old bureau and
sofa and obair. There are hoarts ach
ing somewhere. There Is sadness
Snder some roof. If the sale paid the
ebt there would be some comfort, but
the costs of court, the dravage aud
commissions takes about all?for, as
Mr. Hurtel says:
" Suoh worthless old rubbish will go
for a song."
"Alas! for the rarity of Christian
charity," when the bereaved mother
has to spend ber last quarter to buy In
her dead baby's ohair. If that did not
really happen, something akin to it is.
happening every day in our crowded
cities. What wo see when wo visit
them is only the sunshine and glitter
that wealth has brought to the favor
ed few. We walk or rldo on Peach
tree and wonder and admire, but who
sooks the dark aileys where the poor
congregate? Judge Bleokley wrote a
beautiful poem, oalled " A Tale of Two
Cities?the City of Life and the City of
Death "?Atlanta and its coinetory ;
and his contrast between their inhab
itants was wonderfully graphic and
true. But there is a more pathetic
contrast between the very rich and
I tho very poor in overy crowded me
tropolis. Sometimes wo condono our
neglect of poverty and suffering by
saying they are not worth bofrlendlng
?they aru ungrateful?thoy brought
thoir misery upon thomsolvos?or, if
you feed them and set them up for to
day they will want more tomorrow.
Some folks say that private charity is
against public policy, but my expe
rience and observation is that the best
way to quiet our consciences is tG help'
.t^KT^'give help in some way. There
are a few professional beggars, but
not enough to impoverish anybody in
this Southern country. But those
who are really poor and do actually
Suffer for good shelter, good food and
comfortable clothing are many and in
creasing in numbers overy day.
My wife cut out those touching
verses about tho bailiff's sulo and says
they remind her of Tom Hood'6 " Song
of tho Shirt."
?' Oh, for one short hour
To feel as I used to feel,
Before I knew the woes of want.
Or the work that costs a meal."
That " Song of tho Shirt" awakened
all London to tho sufferings of poor
women and it bus come down to us
along tho corridors of time and quick
ened our sympathies and enlarged our
charities. Oh, that our rich people
would sometimes read it and drop a
tear of sympathy and then go out into
the by-ways and do something for
humanity's sake. Rockefeller is a
great philanthropist in his way, but
Georgo Peabody will outrank him in
tho annals of history and tho judgment
of heaven. Why does not some multi
millionaire follow his example and
provide choap homos for tho poor of
our cities V 1 have heard it said that
it was Tom Hood's pooin that first in
spired him to build choap lodgings for
the poor of London. His plans for so
doing were not carried out for BOVOral
years, but he could not oraso from his
memory tho lines :
"That shattered roof?this naked tloor,
A table?a broken chair.
And a wall so blank my shadow I thank
For sometimes fulling there."
He spent three millions on those
lodging houses and they aro still a
comfort to tho thousands who occupy
them. Human nature is uot so mean
and selfish as it is though Lie.-s and for
getful. Our best emotions need re
minders. Every now and thon a pa
thetic picture must be drawn, a tender
poem must ho written. Wo must soo
tho poor woman with tho faded shawl
"As she wipes with its fringes a tear from
her eye."
Mauy a man has pity in his b"-? ?
and charity in his heart, but it ?
bcrs becauso it does not see tho in . ? .,
of tho unfortunate. Poverty shrinks
from tho public gaze. It hides and
Buu'eTsJ ?afl waits, and..honce wo soo
large sums of money gathered -in the.
churches to be sont to those, affar off
when there is more need of It at homo.
Starving pcoplo do not go to church
nor will thoy go half clad in unseemly
garments. Tho bost religion lan
guishes from hunger and cold. Truo
charity must hunt for distress and re
lievo it.
This reminds me of tho convicts and
their pitiless condition. Most of them
doservo thoir fate but among the 3,000
there are some who have expiated
their offenses and ought to bo set frco.
The courts mako mistakes sometimos,
ar.d no doubt there aro many convicts
paying penalties they do not owe.
There is not u raoro helpless creature
upon earth than a friondless convict,
and wo rejoico that Governor Atkin
son and tho committee aro making a
searching examination. Tho Gover
nor told mo of a negro boy who had
served nino years and had eleven more
to serve. Ho wont in a boy of fifteen
charged with arson and now it appears
most clearly that he was not guilty,
and it could have been so proved, but
tho witness, a substantial citizen, lived
out of tho State and his ovideucocould
not bo had. The boy was convicted on
circumstantial evidence. Tho Gover
nor has affidavits that placo the innc
cenco of this negro beyond all doubt,
and of course ho has set him at liberty.
He has shortened tho terms of a great
many and his consideration for those
who havo bohaved well receives un
usual commendation.. /
Itoform is said to bo ono of tho ob

ho should be given another chanco.
My wife was commenting on that

ISAAC O. MoKISSICK.
A Sketch of His Lille and Services?
A Drave Soldier and Patriotic
Citizen.
i
Tho subject of the following sketch
died at his home in Union on Monday,
June 8,189(1. He was much larger than
bis own county, and was woll known
and highly .esteemed by hundreds of
people in all seotlons of tbe State. He
was. generous, large hearted, full of
love for bis neighbor, kind to every
one, a genial companion, a helpful
friend In time of need, without bitter
ness to any one, with strong faith In
the people, a lover of his country, his
ohureh and hiB Ood. It gives us pleas
ure to publish the following bketch
prepared at tbe request of The Spartan:
Col. Isaac G. MoKissick was born in
Union county, in that section known
as "Pea Klage'.' which he has Bince
made famous, on Nov. 20, 1825. He
Bprung from tho loins of a sturdy
Scotch-Irish ancestry, his ancestors
having lived near the border of Scot
land and Ireland. When he was seven
or eight years of age his father died,
leaving a widow, five sons* and one
daughter. Col. McKiBsick'a early
childhood was spent on tho farm and
his oducatlou was, of course, limltod
in a very great degree. His school
days would number less than twelve
months, all told, and It has been often
told of him that his education was ob
tained by .studying at night by the
light of a pine knot, or lightwood, after
the day's labors was over. In fact, he
has often told the writer of this, that
it was his custom, after getting his
supper, to steal away and go behind
the old barn aud study. Whatever ed
ucation he rocoived was through his
own efforts. At the age of twenty-Qve
be was elected olerk of tho court of
Union district over one of the most in
fluential men in that section, who was,
If tho writer is not mistaken. Mr. Wm.
J. Keenan. His eleetion at that age
was a high compliment to his native
ability and worth. When the time
camo for him to tako tho oath of ollioo
and assume its duties, all tbo teams
and horses on his mother's plantation
wore so busily engaged In gathering the
crop, that he. walked from his mother's
homo to Union court house, a distance
of twelve miles. Prom t.haU time until
tho war bogan he held tbo oil ice of
clerk of the court, and the record*
show that his dytl_es..were well per
formed j-atlfl"'as' Judge Wardlaw once
said he was the host clerk of the court
ho had ever soon.
When secession was uppermost in tho
minds of the people of South Carolina,
Col. MoKissick espoused tbe cause with
all the fervor of hi? warm nature. He
made speeches throughout tho upper
section of South Carolina and until his
dying day, heliovod in State's rights.
During his term of office as clerk of
the court ho was successively elected
lieutenant colonel and ufterwards
brigadier general of State militia.
When tho war camo on ho forsook his
bomb-proof otllco, which he could havo
easily held during tho war, and organ
ized a company. This command was
known as tho McKissick Hangers, and
its lieutenants wore John W. Palmer,
! long since dead, and Gilliam II. Jeter,
now living in Union county. The Mc
Kissick Rangers were sent to Charles
ton where thoro were other companies
in the Holcombe Legion undor tho
command, at that time, of Col. P. P.
Stevons, now bishop of tho Episcopal
ohureh. This command was named
after Governor Pickens' wife, Lucy
Holcombe. While serving on Gov
ernor Pickons' plantation, which was
then fortified, Governor Pickens," his
staff and Mrs. Pickens visited the
legion and presented it with a Hag and
simply said: "Soldiers, this Hag repre
sents one dear to my heurt, never lot it
trail." The legion was afterwards
transferred to Virginia with head
quarters near Williamsburg. it was
atWilllamsburg that the MoKissick
Rangers achieved, perhaps, their
greatest victory during tho war. This
short sketch necossarily precludes the
Incidents of that heroic charge led by
Col. McKissick. Afterwards the Hol
combe Legion was disbanded or dis
organized and tho McKissick Rangers
were transferred to the Seventh South
Carolina Cavalry, of which Alexander
C. Haskell was elected colonel and I.
G. McKissick lioutonant colonel. The
superb service of this command is
written in history. At Old Ch irch
near Cold Harbor, while under the
command of Gen. M. C. Hutler, tho
Seventh South Carolina Cavalry fought
ono of its hardest battles, in which
every field offieor was killed and
"?ounded and in which many gallant
I . ? I heir lives. Col. McKissick
- ivdy wounded, and while being
?U&UU i ? m the lie Id loat his SWOl'd, a
fact ho regretted always. He went
home! after lying in the hospital at
Richmond a long time, and while
? recuperating ho was elected to the
legislature whore he served until his
wound W^ healed and ho thon re
turned to tho front.
He was present at tbo surrender, al
though on furlough. Ho wanted to
fight his way out with some of Gary's
Brigade, but his soldiers would not al
low him to do so on account of his con
dition. Returning homo strickon in
fortune, sore at heart and desolate with
the knowledgo that tho cuuso was lost,
ho attempted to recoup as best he
could. Ho entered tho law ollieo of
Hon. A. W. Thompson In 18(it> and was
admitted to tho bar in a very largo
olass, among whom was Judge Van
Wycke, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Hon.
Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, and many
other prominent men who have made
their impress on tho history of their
country. In 1860 Col. McKissick and
Miss Sallie Poster, daughter of Col. B.
B. Foster, of Glenn Spings. Spartan
burg county, were married. In 1870
Col. McKissick was nominated for Con
gross by tho Democrats and was olected
by a largo majority, although his op
ponent, A. S. Wallace, of York, was
counted in by tho Republicans aftor a
long and tedious contest in Washing
ton. About this time a law partner
ship was formed botweon him and Gen.
Wm. H. Wallace, which lasted until
1877, when Goneral Wallace was ele
vated to tho bench. In 187(1 Col. Mc
Kissick did valiant work for tho cause
of Hampton and for the causo of every
honest Carolinian. Ho workod night
and day, making speeches everywhere
No man rejoicod more than lie did at
tho 8ucc04r of tho Democratic party.
In 1878 ho was olected to tho Legisla
ture at the head of the tickot and was
successively elocted until 1800, whou
he refused to stand again for this of
fice. Col. MeKlssick's services in tho
Legislature aro well known to the
people of South Carolina. When
Judge Wallace was elovated to tho
bonch Col. McKissick formed a part
nership with J. H. Rion, which lasted
until tho death of Col. Rion. Ho was
thon associated with J. S. R. Thomson
and then with Judgo Cothran, which
lasted until his death. His family
consists of Mm. I. G. McKissick, E. P.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Pansies and their Culture.
PanBy faos, grave and wise,
Who can road tho "thoughts" that lies
Lurking undorncath your oyes.
"Thoughts" of folk and fiowcr-lore !
Secrets hidden evermoro,
By the underworld's fast door !
Pansy faces, elfin, wee,
Ab I bend full lowlily,
Will you whisper "thoughts" to mo ?
Few flowers stand higher in pub
lic favor than the Pansy. This pop
ularity is due largely to the rich
beauty of the flowers, and to the fact
that they come into bloom at a time
when flower-lovers are "flower-hun
gry," and there are not many other
flowers to satisfy one's longing. The
Pansy is distinctively a flower of the
springtime. Although it blooms
throughout tho summer, and is the
last flower to yield to frost and snow,
it is at its best in the springtime,
and it gives greater pleasure then
than at any otlier time. It is easy
to cultivate, and is almost as profuse
a bloomer as the Sweet Pea.
The Pansy has been wonderfully
improved in recent years. When
our grandmothers grew Pansies they
were called "Lady's Delight," and
the flowers were very small and in
significant compared to the Pansy of
to-day. Nor was there anything
like the variety of shades and tints
and colors that this beautifv.l-flovrcr
displays to-day.
Some writers claim that the Pansy
is thriftier and sends forth finer
flowers in a situation in which they
have the full sunlight, but my own
experience has been that a partly
shaded situation is better. The
finest Pansies I ever had wore from
plants having only the morning sun
shine. The flowers were larger, and
the plants more vigorous, than those
of the same variety set in a bed in
which they were exposed to the sun
light all of the time.
The Pansy loves moisture and
moisture it must have. It is quite
a little gourmand and craves rich
food. Once a week is not too often
to give it liquid manure. The seed
pods should be picked off as soon us
they form if you want your plants
to keep on blooming.
It is claimed by some that the
Pansy is a good winter bloomer in
the ordinary window garden, but all
of my own attempts to verify this
statement have resulted in failure.
The most experienced writers on
floriculture declare that the Pansv is
entirely unadaptcd to the window
garden. It is diilicult to secure a
proper temperature or sufficient mois
ture, and it is frequently the victim
of insects when cultivated in the
house. But one can have them in
the garden nearly nine months of the
year.
August is an excellent time in
which to sow seeds in the open ground
for next spring's plants. The soil
should be rich and light and pulver
ized with great care, because the
seeds are so tiny and the young
shoots not very strong. They are
not apt to work their way out from
under pebbles or hard clods as other
plants can. Sow seeds early in Au
gust. You cannot do better than to
select the New Imperial German
Pansies offered by the Dingee &
Conard Company. The flowers are
remarkably large and fine, indeed
there are none finer. They bloom
in the greatest profusion, and no va
riety of Pansy can display more var
ied tints and colors. If well cared
for, tL," i;,Hnts from seed sown early
in August will* be quite large and
strong by the time heavy frosts come.
Cover the young plants with a few
boughs and. twigs and a thick layer
of leaves or straw. The boughs and
twigs will keep the leaves or straw
from matting too closely around the
plants and injuring them. Uncover
early in the spring, loosen up the
soil around the plants, and you may
have Pansies all summer long.?
Zenas Dane, in Success With Flowers.
?The discovery of a magnificent
mine, or rather quarry, of Caen
stone, is reported from Cartersville,
Texas. Hitherto it has been very
scarce and very dear, as previous to
the present find the Caen quarries
were the only sources of supply
known. When first taken from the
earth Caen stone is quite soft, and
it can be whittled with a pocket
knife into any shape. After expo
sure to the air it becomes like flint
When polished, this rare limestone
presents a marblelike surface, slight
ly variegated and of a rich, chooo
late-brown color.
Give tho poultry a little of the
care so freely given to the animals,
and it will pay a better percentage
on the investment.
Some Curious Facts Concern
ing Hearing.?An inquiry was
recently made in Ixmdon as to the
greatest distance at which a man's
voice could be heard, leaving, of
course, the telephone out of consid
eration. The reply was most inter
esting, and was as follows: Eigh
teen miles is the longest distance on
record at which a man's voice
has been heard. This occurred in
the Grand Canon of tho Colorado,
where one man shouting the name
" Bob " at one end and his \oice was
plainly heard at the other end,
which b eighteen miles away. Lieu
tenant Foster, on Parry's third arc
tic expedition, found that he could
converse with a man across the har
bor of Port Bowen, a distance of
0,096 feet, or about one mile and a
quarter; and Sir John Franklin
said that ho conversed with ease at
a distance of more thau a mile. Dr.
Young records that at Gibraltar the
human voice has been heard at a
distance of ten miles.
Sound has remarkable force in
water. Colladon, by experiments
made in Lake of Geneva, estimated
that a bell submerged in the sea
might be heard a distance of more
than sixty miles. Franklin says
that he heard tho striking together
of two stones in the water half
mile away; Over'water or a surface
of ice is propagated with great clear
ness and strength. Dr. Hutton re
lates that on a quiet part of the
Thames near Chelsea he could hear
a person read distinctly at the dis
tance of 140 feet, while on the land
the same could only be heard at 70
feet. Professor Tyndall, when on
Mont Blanc, found the report of a
pistol-shot no louder than the pop
of a champagne bottle. Persons in
a balloon can hear voices from the
earth a long time after they them
selves are inaudible below.?From
Hamper's Mound Table.
Queer Republics.?The queer
little Italian republic of San Marino,
with its 33 square miles of territory
and its population of 0,000, lies up
in the eastern spurs of the Apennie
Mountains. It is governed by a
> Grand Council of 00, who are elect
ed for life, and two Presidents, one
of whom is appointed by the Coun
cil, the other elected by the people.
The little republic 1ms an army of
950 men, who arc employed only as
policemen. San Marino is the only
country in the world that prohibits
the introduction of the printing
press. The city of San Marino, with
a population of 1700, is one of the
queerest old towns in the world. It
has undergone no change in 500v
years. This republic began in 1031?
A little bit larger than San Ma
rino in population, but six times as
large in area, is the republic of An
dorra. It lies in a valley of the
eastern Pyrenees between France
and Spain. It became a free state
in 819. It is governed by a Sover
eign Council of 24 members, elected
by the people, and a Syndic, or presi
dent, chosen for life by the Council.
It has an army of 1,100 men, and
one big gun planted in the centre of
the republic. This gun carries a
ball twenty miles, and Europe
trembles at the thought of it being
lired. In Andorra, the capital, is
the palace?a stone building several
hundred years old. Here the Coun
cil men meet. The ground tloor is
the stable where their horses are
kept and fed by their masters them
seves.? From Harper's Hound 'F?
lble.
Anecdote of Lincoln.?John
Wananmkor, at a dinner party given
by the Philadelphia Association of
Underwriters, told the following
story of Abraham Lincoln: "While
at Washington it came under my
notice in the Postofticc Department
that Abraham Lincoln in his early
life had been postmaster at a small
Ohio town. In the changes that
took place the otlicc was consoli
dated with Salem, and the man
twice wanted for President was for
once not wanted for postmaster.
Years afterward it was discovered
that no settlement had reached
Washington of the affairs of that
little postolliee. A visit was made
to Mr. Lincoln and the case stated,
when the always great man rose
from his desk, and walked over to a
chest of drawers and took out a
bundle of papers among them an
envelope containing seventeen dol
lars and some cents, the exact sum
in identical money of the govern
ment safely in keeping until called
for. As he handed it over to the
agent of the Postolliee Department,
he said: 'There it is. I never
use any otlier man's money.'"?
