Did you eEr atend a genuine hog killing in the ccttry-.' it is not so fre quent o important as it used to be when t::rk Howell's arctic winters sat upon the laud, but it is just as interest ing. Su,,p;se we walk out into the back lot. where the fire is made. The ras ! er and unaps like acorns un der your ieet, and the hoar frost shoots up fron to p,;res of the earth. The lot is alr.a-ly full.of plump, black pork ers. i'hey run and =cqueal and fall over each other in their ellbrts to get the last grains, thrown to them as a death decoyv. Six months ago the most promising shotes were marked for killing and male and :'l mal nCibers of the litter received sueh deli."ate attentions as Would leave thet in proper cond6ition for the kn::. Since that time they have been :.n e''erv consideration. They hav" had the pick of the pen. othi.:l on. the ltt was too good for them. Choice bits from the barn and dairv. from the kitchen itself have been saved-for amon . hogs "those vhom we wish to dtst roy we first make fat." Srene and imlil'crent to their fate thee lp'rk.rs:; :lcted the gifts the (ods proie, gru:tei and rrew fat. Near the ro:ring hreheapa big hogs head filled w:tl w:.er Ins been sunk into the grouna and the hot rocrs are rolled into t he water until the hogs head bCotnes a ie-thing tub. Porker No. 1 is caught by tiwo stalwart hands who handle him as ih .' would haul in in a bucking bro:.i with a lariat. The hog is throwin k:-xterously upon his back, his hc!i is forced to the ground and a sharp knife severs the windpipe-then makes:i vicious plunge down into the region o the heart. A squeal, a gur,ie and a struggle settle the matter. The log has given it up. He is dJiowed to stifreu on the ground w,hile his comipanitons one by one take * their places by his side. Then he plunges headlong into the steamy hogshead and after he~ r-omes out skillful hands shave him uutil his whole body is white and gleaming. He is a beautiful corpse. A hickory splinter is passed througth his back and he is strung up while his body is ripped and relieved -- of its rotundity. Spread out upon a cooling board the hog becomes a flat felon of meat. Some skilful work sets in just now-the trimimers and cutters * have him in charge. Hlams are trunca ted; jowl, back-bonie and spare-ribs un jointed; chime is Set aside: cracklen is steamed tnt froim the fat, chitterlings cleaned and that matchless patchwork passed through the sausage mill oozes from t.a~ iong nloozie hito the connect ing iinks of that mysterious chain - which holds the breakfast table in its tbrall. It is half holiday on the farm. Men and women work handi!y while the hogs tt:- di:ee and salted down. *What ra :e souse and chime. The * cains are stocked with delicacies for we'eks. Pigs fcet are plentiful and the little chi:dren, whit- and colored, are keen for the fat pickings of the killing. Think of those home mjade hams, the best and sweek '.t in the -world, brown ing atnd growing nc:liow in the smoke huse, and theni slipiug like cocoons into their canas nk hells.

[A. R. Presbyterian.] Prosperity and HeadSprings churches t New berry County, S. C., are now with out a pastor. The cause out of which this grew seemed at first a little "cloud no bigger than a man's hand," and this t cloud was caused by a difference of n opinion about erecting a new building and moving the church of Prosperity into the village of Prosperity. All thought and hoped that the matter would be amicably settled, but the end is not yet. The small cloud has grown until its black dimensions have dark ened the horizon. Christians should be prayerfully careful to preserve "the spirit of unity in the bond of peace," for schisims are more easily made than healed and their tendency is to widea. Though not intimately connected with the trouble there is not an A. R. P. church in Newberry County that does not entertain very pronounced feelings concerning the difficulty. "Behold how great a matter'.a little fire kindleth." Under the existing circumstances Mr. Boyd and many of his warmest friends thought it best that he resign, but not that they were tired of him. No we are, by no means, tired of him, but feel a devotion to him which will last until death. Mr. Boyd came to us like Timothy, young, just from the seminary, and he has served us thirty-two years. Dur ing that time he has been a faithful, patient pastor. He received many of us into the church and when we started life, he married most of us; he baptized our little ones, prayed, oh, so fervently, over odr sick, and stood with us by the yawning-grave as we gave to it the fathers and mothers we so much loved. Is it any wonder we esteem him so highly? Is it any wonder we weep when we realize the fact that the bond which united us as pastor and people ii torn asunder? Could woman's tears have healed the wound there would scarce be a scar to tell the tale. Mr. Boyd has been and still is high ly esteemed all over the county. For several terms he served acceptably as school commissioner and was urgently solictited to allow his name to be of fered as a candidate during the last campaign. But he is gone. His beautiful home which -he so much loved and around which his members loved to linger is now the home of a stranger, his pulpit is vacant and we look in vain for his cordial greetings, for they are not. A minister so orthodox as Mr. Boyd will soon find a field of labor, and we assure those to whom he is committed that they will not be fed with the high sounding words of man's wisdom, but they will be fed with milk for the weak and meat for he strong. May his las days be like God's faith ful servant, Job, more prosperous than his beginning.

Committee. . Without an "E." i From the New Orleans Times.] The following poem of three stanzas of four lines each has often been allud ed to as one of the most unique of liter ary curiosities. Each stanza contains i every letter in the alphabet except the 1 letter "e," which all printers will tell< you is one of the most indispensible letters, its relative proportion of use I being 120 times to j 4, k 8, g 17 and 140. 1 The one coming next to "e" in numter of times of use is "a, which is used I 80 times, while the latter in question is being used 120 times. The poem is en-t titled: THE FATEOF NASSAU. Bold Nassau quits his caravan, A hazy mountain grot to scan; Climbs jaggy-rocks to spy his way.t D)oth tax his sight, but rar doth stray. Not work of man nor sport of child, Finds Nassau in that mazy wild; Lax grows his joints, limbs toil in vain Poor w:ght! Why didb't thou quit that a plain? t Vainly for succor Nassau calls. Knows Zillah that thy Nassau falls;t But prowling wolf and fox may joy To quarry on thy Arab boy. _______ The P?resident of the Kansas Alliance is In Hot Water. Tomml:A, Kas., January 8.-Steps s have b)een taken looking to the im peachmiient of Frank McGrr tb, presi- ( dent of the Kansas Farmers' Alliance, r who is accused of being a party to the s alleged scheme to elect E. J. Turner, f Republican Congressman from the Sixth district, to the United States Senate. The matter will be brought before the special session of the execu tive board of the Alliance, which is to be convened in the city next week. How it Feels to be a Millionaire. In view of the fact that but few people are in the habit of discovering by per sonal experience how it feels to be a mil lionaire, Mr. Geo. M. Pullman, the pos sessor of $50,000,000, has described the feeling. "I believe," says he, "that I am no better off-certainly no happier -than I was when I didn't have a dollar to my name and had to work fromi daylight until dark. I wore a good suit of clothing then and can only wear one nowv. I relished three meals a day then a good deal more than I do three meals a day now. I had fewer cares, I slept better, and I may add, generally, that 1 believe I was far happier in those days than I have been many times since 1 became millionaire. And yet it is a comfort able feeling to be rich. j FLUTES OF THE PYRAMIDS. layed 3,000 Years After Burial -The Egyptians Had Our Scale. [London Daily News.] A number of eminent musicians were avited to listen to a highly interest ag lecture delivered yesterday to the toyal Academy students by T. L. outhgate, upon ancient Egyptian ausical instruments in general, and pon the double pipes recently dis overed by Flinders Petrie in the amb at Kahun in particnlar. From he fact that the flutes shown in the rescoes were of various lengths, Mr. >outhgate conjectured that the Egyp ians, almost from the time of Moses, aust have had knowledge of some ort of harmony, while, as in one of the rescoes, seven flute performers were imultaneously playing, an eighth had what he whimsically described as 'fifty bars rest." Still more interesting was the exhi >ition of the actual flutes discovered in he lady's sarcophagus at Kabena and ndisputably dating before the time of King David, of Israel. Performed upon mnd the task of playing these archaic nstruments is now most difficult, by fr. J. Finn, they yesterday gave prac ically the exact notes of our diatonic cale, thus proving-in every sense of he terms to actual demonstration hat our scale was known to the Egyp ians many centuries before the Greeks, 'rom whom it had erroneously been 3upposed we borrowed it. No attempt was made to perform the double flute, %nd, indeed, if ever the two were played together, the art is lost. But upon a copy of one of these ancient funeral dirge, entitled "The Song of 3onus." The tone of these instru ments, we may add, in no way re iembles that of the flutes of to-day. It to a certain extent recalls the drone of the bagpipe, although one prominent musician yesterday irreverently likened it to the sound of the small-tooth comb znd tissue paper of childhood days. Many other copies of ancient instru ments were tried yesterday, among them a replica of a flute, discovered two years ago by a French savant, with aleven holes, with the approximate late being 1275, B. C., that is to say, luring the period that the Israelites were still in Egypt. To "stop" eleven boles in a flute would seem to demand that one of the hands should have an extra finger ; but Mr. Finn, after many trials, has succeeded in doing it, mnd the notes given were practically those of one chromatic scale. From hese and other facts Mr. Southgate, .n the peroration to his very valuable ecture, contended that the tonality of ,he ancient Egyptian was the source of ur own music, and certainly none of :he musicians present were willing to ~ontradict a doctrine which seems quite easible. An Infant Prodigy in Anatorny. [From the Atlanta Constitution.] At the regular meeting of the South ~rn Medical Society last Saturday ~vening, Master Albert Verner Fensch >f Fort McPherson was unanimously ~lected to honorarry membership in ~hat organization, as the youngest med cal student known to the profession. Dr. J. E. Price, of Virginia, Presi ent of the society, who introduced this young gentleman, stated that though 2e had barely attained the age of 5 ears, he was possessed of a knowledge >f anatomy, especially of osteology, ~qual to that of many graduates of nedicine. In his exhibition before the society be child was able, not only to give the ~echnical and scientific names of each f the 200 and odd bones of the hu nan .skeleton, but to describe their arious functions, divisions, tuberosi ies, tubercles, &c. The little fellow prefers to amuse iimself by fitting together and adjust ng the bones of the human body (of mhich he has been presented a com lete set) to playing with blocks, [rums, and whistles ; and delights in racing on anatomical charts and cuts he various vessels of the human anat my, rather than amusing himself vith picture books. He intelligently istens to and appreciates a scientific ecture on anatomy while scorning fother Goose's melodies, and chooses us friends and acquaintances among >hysicians and medical students rather han from children of his own age. This little anatomist is a favorite rith the professors and a pet of the tudents of the Southern Medical Col ege, where he rarely fails to be in at endance upon Prof. Nicholson's lec ures on anatomy. This infant wonder was highly de ighted and appeared to fully appre iate the honor conferred upon him, .nd in his own phraseology addressed he President and gentlemen of the ociety, thanking them for his election honorary membership. "Dr. Albert," as he is called by his quaintances, can be seen on pleasant aornings, lunch basket in hand, trudg ig alone from Whbitehall street cross ig to Walton street, where he is in ttendance at the kindergarten de artent of Mrs. Baylor Stuart's aca emy, where his long golden curls, osy cheeks, intelligent blue eyes and miable disposition imake him a general zvori te.
