'L BLIHEl) 1"LRY THURSDAT AT NIEWBERRY, S. C. XETALS MOIE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD. The Rarest and Costilest of all it Galiumn at $3,250 an Onnce. Fully ninety-nine persons in every hundred, if asked to name the most precious metals, would mention gold as first. Platinum as second, and silver as third. If asked to name others, a few might add nickel, and a very few alum inum to the list. Let us see how near to the truth they would be. Gold is worth about $240 per pound, troy; platinum $130, and silver about $12. Nickle would be quoted at about 60 cents. and pure al umnium S or $9 to the troy pound. We will now compare these prices with those of the rarer and less well-known of the metals. To take them in. alphabetical order, barium sells for $975 a pound, when it is sold at all, and calcium is worth $1,800 a pound. Cerium is a shade higher-its cost is $160 an ounce, or $1,920 a pound. These begin to look like fabul ous prices, but they do not reach the highest point: chromium brings $200, cobalt falls at about half the price of silver, while didynium is the same price as cerium, and er bium $10 cheaper on the ounce than calcium, or just $1,680 per pound. If the wealth of the Vanderbilts be not overstated, it amounts to nearly $200,000,000. With this sum they could purchase 312 tons of gold and have something left over, but they couldn't buy two tons of gallium, that rare metal being worth $3,250 an ounce. With this metal the highcst price is reached, and it may well be called the rar est and most precious of metals. Glucinum is worth $250 per ounce indium $158; iridium, $658 a pond; lanthanium, $175, and lithium $160 per ounce. Niobium costs $128 per ounce; asmium, pallidum, pla tinum, potassium, and rhodium brings respectively $640, $400, $130, $32, and $512 per pound. Stron tiunm cost $I2S an ounce: taintaum, $144; teluriunm. $9; thorium, $272, vanadium, $320; yffrium. $144, and zirconium $150 an ounce. Thus we see that the commonly received opinion as to what are the most precious metals is quite erro neous. Barr-ium is more than four times as valuable as gold, and ga~ more than 162 times as coty while many of the metals are twice and thrice as valuable. Aluminum, which now costs $S or $9 a pound, will eventually be pro duced as cheaply as steel. When this can be done it will push the latter metal out of a great many of its present uses, as it posesses great -strength, toughness, and elasticity, Zwith extreme lightness of weight. Its sources of supply are inexhausti ble, and its present high cost arises from the difficulty of its extraction in a metalic form. Indium seems to be chiefly used for pointing gold pens, and many of the metals men tioned have but a limited,.sphere of usefulness. As the Twig Inclined. GeorgeWestinghouse,Jr, through out his entire life has shown a marked mechanical bent and his own mind has constantly run on -- inventions, the object of which was to do by machinery what had pre viously been done by hand. His father owned and operated a large works at Schenectady, N. Y., for the manufacture of agricultural implements, and he showed his good sense in giving his boys, as part of their education, practical instructions in mechanics. George, in early days was very -fond of playing ball, and sometimes his father, ou returning to the works, would find the lad absent for obvious r-easons- Those ab sences ted to interviews. At last it was decided that George's work should be arcanged on the piece system instead of on the time sys tem. In other works, his task was thenceforth to consist of a given amount of work each day which he might expedite as inuch as he pleased, and, after it was done, he was at libeirty to repair to the ball grounds. Here was an opportunity for invention, and the lad did not fail to utalize it. Without any pre vious knowledge of the now well known disc method of cutting metals, he experimented and soon discovered that with a circular disc, of soft sheet iron on the highest speed of his lathe, he could split a file. He quickly utalized this method of completing his daily task, and r-eparing so early each day to the grounds that his father at first feared a~ miscount had oc curred. On watching George at work, however,.he soon saw with his own eyes how the remarkable feat was accomplished. relf you have catarrh, use the surest Misquoted Lines. It i: a peculiar f;culty of human ner,ry to misquote proverhs and :oetry, and almost invariably to Ilace the credit where it does not ;elong. Nine men out of ten think that 'the Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" is from the Bible, whererr Lawrence Sterne is the author. "Pouring oil upon the trou bled waters' is also ascribed to the sacred volume, whereas it is not there; in fact, no one knows its origin. Again, we heard people sa:"The proof of the pudding is in chewing the string." This is arrant non sense, and the proverb says : "The proof of the pudding is in the eat ing thereof," and not it chewing the string. Nothing is more common than to hear: "A. man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still." This is an impossible con dition of mind, for no one can be eouvinced of an opinion and at the same time hold to an opposiie one. What Butler wrote was eminently sensible: "He that complies against his will, is of his own opinion still." A famous passage of Scripture is often misquoted thus: "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." It should be: "Let him first cast a stone." Sometimes we are told: "Behold how great a fire a little matter kind leth," whereas St. James said: "Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth," which is quite a dif ferent thing. We also hear that a "miss is as good as a mile," which is not as sensible or forcible as the true pro verb: "A miss of an inch is as good as a mile." "Look before you leap" should be: "And look before you ere you leap." Pope is generally'eredited with having written, "Immodest words admit of no defense, for want of decency is want of sense." They were written by the Earl of Ross common, who died before Pope was born. Some Good Maxims. Shun bad company and the pre valent vices of the day. Never loan a borrowing friend more than you are able to loose it he cannot pay, and never take a loan on importunity. Never borrow money to speculate with. Acquire knowledge. It is only enlightend men who successfully hold their own with the surging masses who throng the rg'ad, with riches. Avoid law and legal squabbles of every kind. In discussing business disagree ments keep cool. Make all the money you can and do all the good you can with it, remembering that he who liveth for himself alone lives for the meanest man in creation. Itefections. [J. A. Macon in Century Brie-a-B3rac.) Stilts are no better in conversa bion than in a foot race.. Folly must hold its tongue while wearing the wig of wisdom. It is the foolish aim of the atheist to scan infinitude with a micro scope. When poverty comes in at the door true love goes at it with an A vein of humor should be made visible without the help of a re ducing mill. The reformer becomes a fanatic when he begins to use his emotions as a substitute for his responding faculty. Many an object in life must be attained by flank movements; it is he zigzag road that leads to the mountain top. All the paths of life leads to the grave. and the utmost that we can :1 is to avoid the short cuts. The office should seek the man, but it should inspect him thorough ly before taking him. Humility is most serviceable as rn undergarment and should never be worn as an overcoat. The Good Samaritan helps the [nfortunate wayfarer without ask ing how he intends to vote. The Sabbath Day. - [Abbeville Medium.] Last Sabbath afternoon we came apon a lovable woman of the Pres byterian faith with her children at Ler knees teaching them the Short r Catechism by moral suasion and by main strength. Her beaming eyes sparkled with more than their uisual animation but it *a.s not on ccount of the children. Upon in gjuiry we found she was vexed because her husband had taken his uggy and gone off to look ovei his rop. This was not the proper example to set the little ones and made her work more difficult. Now if any other woman has the same kind of a stumbling block we beg to state that we have a law to meet such a case. The statutes forbid every-body to do any "work oif their ordinary callings'' and re gjuire them th abstain from all "exercises, sports or pastimes' apon the Lord's Day. One dollar is the fine for every such offence. If the fourth commandment is not enough our women should try what virtne there s in the statutes X. ..U L 124 rV JLP 1J. L 1 JL QUAINT RECORDS. Some Curious Announcements of Matriuo ny Iu the Olden Time. This collection of marriage an nouncenieits has been copied from old newspapers published within the last hundred years, of which the compiler has examined between 200 and 300 volumes, selecting such as he thought worth repeating to the present generat ion. The old wits were famous for punning on the names which they could utilize forsuch purpose, and imany of those announcements will provoke laugh ter in spite of one's self. Many such marriage notices as the com piler has found have been rejected as too fat for insertion, and, on the other hand, he found some that a were rather too sharp for our mod ern civilization. We give the fol lowing extracts. In Concord, N. H., Feb. 3, 1814, Isaac Hill, one of the editors of the Patriot, to Miss Susan Ayer, daugh ter of Captain Richard Ayer. "As I walked out the other day, Through Concord street I took my way; I saw a site I thought quite rare A Hill walked out to take the Ayer, And now since earth and ear have met together, I think there'll be a change of I weather." In Haverhill, Mass., August,1829, Cotton K. Simpson, of Pembroke, N. H., to Miss Sarah R. Marble. "An old calculation of gain and loss Proves 'a stone that is rolling will gather no moss."

At Black Lake, L. I., Febuary, 1828, James Anderson to Miss Ann Bread.

He caught in one short hour a Bass! The Bass though caught the bait." h Married.-At Williamsburg, on Friday, April 15th, 1853, by the Rev. Mr. Malone, at St. Peter's Church, W. Moon to Miss Anne tc Cooke. "He is not mad, though lunar light His broth did overlook, For he has gainea to his delight, A wife that is a Cooke. 'His geese is cooked,' and other maids - May envy her the boon, Whose tall ambition wished and got The bright man in the moon." In New York, March 1832, M1r. Thomas A. Secord to Miss Cordelia Ketcham. "Ketcham, Cordelia, if you can?" "I have," says she-''Secord's the man." Married, at Bridgewater, Decem ber 16, 1788, Captain Thomas Bax ter, of Quincy, aged 66, to Miss Whitman, of the former place, agedJ 57, after a long and tedious court-r ship of forty-eight years, which they both sustained with unconm-t mon fortitude. In Concord, Febuary, 1825, by the Rev. Dr. McFarland, Solomon Payne, of Canterbury, Ct., to Miss s~ Ruth Barker, daughter of Lemnuel r< Barker, of this town. "Some females fall in love with wealth,1 Some with a lovely swain; l But Sarah, in the bloomi of health, Takes to herself a Payne." a In Concord, October, 1809, Jere miah P. Raymond, of Weare, to Miss Susan Gale.f "A constant Gale forever prove, To fan the flame of virtuous love."p In Boston, April 1821, by the6 Rev. William Sabine, Joseph Willicut to Miss Susan Whitmarsh, t after a tremendious courtship of . thirteen days, and but thirty-five days after the death of his former "The best way it seems for a deep) sor-* row to smother For the loss of a wife is-to marry an other." In West Springfield, Mass., De cember, 1823, Stephen Bumprey, aged 76, a revolutionary pensioner, to Miss Sarrah Dewey, aged 38. 'In '7G he fought and bled; At 76 he wvoo'd and wed." 1i In Washington, May 17, 1834 Joshua Peck to Miss Amelia Bushel. "Allzookers, bobs and wedding cakes What changes of measures marriage makes; Quick as a thought, at Hymen's beck,1 A Bushel changed into a Peck." June 15, 1815, in Carroll county, N. C., by Rev. B. Graves, Captain William Graves, son of John Graves Eq., to Miss Nancy Graves, daugh ter of General Asariahi Graves.
