The Darlington Herald says : "One of our tobacco growers bas estimated that the tobacco crop of the County will sell for about $100.000 The quantity planted is *oout one thousand acres* At the present price of cotton H would take about four thousand acres to make cotton enough to sell for that - Tf sum. Mr. Gladstone daring his visit to Austria conversed with everybody around him in easy and elegant Ger man. This is not so remarkable after' all when it is remembered that the Grand Old Han can do bis thinking when he pleases ie ancient Greek or Latin, can converse Sueotly in the mod ern Hellenic language, can make after dinner speeches and write verse in Ital ian, and talk Spanish like a Castillan and French like a Parisian, while his mastery of Eaglish is such that the phrase making Disraeli once raised a laugh at him in the House of Commons by describing him as a man "who was intoxicated with the exuberance of his owa verbosity." General Win field Scott was chatting with a number of officers of the army, one day in the year 1860, when an admirer of the veteran said : "I should think, general, that you world find it difficult to remember the names of all the engagements in which you have taken 'part,." * ;Not at ail, sir?not at nil,*9 replied the general. **Let me see, now. There was the battle of Handily. Yon remember that, don't you ?" The officer did not, and be was net enough of a courtier to say that be did. "Well" resumed the general, turning to a memberof his staff, "yon remem ber it, don't yen t" *H3ertainly, sir," was the prompt reply. 4 'No yon don't," responded General Scott ;' "there never was any suca\b?ttle<"!" <?- ^ The negroes who have been working in the wa|(^gte^e waterworks suc tion pipe in fl^^agaree^?verf "have been .seeing a ^uge ntnrgeoo^ lying around, for several days.1 Tt-ey bad laid plans to capture .him. s Saturday afternoon, however, one of them turned around suddenly, acd right at htm he saw the sturgeon?. - He grappled with the large fellow and- the sturgeon in tarn ?aaght, h is hand in its month and shut Mown,'-starting 'off.' ' The' fellow was no match for the watery power, and called lustily to his fellow laborers. Five of them .came to him and there was a tremendous battle, finally result ing in a victory for the men. They had great trouble in releasing their friend's hand.: The sturgeon, when measured, showed a length of 7 feet ?The State. >? Hie Pyramids. Thousands of yean before there were any dweflinga on the sites since since occupied by Jerusalem, Rome and Athens, at the very, dawn of human history,'when all the rest of the world was etil) wrapped in the thick gloom of prehistoric barbarism, a vast town of huge . buildings rose not far from the present city, on the other side, of the Nile, which was dotted with the boats of the ancient inhabitants. A forest of venerable date-trees casts its shadows upoti the black soil, beneath- which He buried the builders of this city of a world gone by, of which nothing remains but the vast cemeteries, their position marked by an avenue of monuments. The famous pyramids of Gizeh, oppo site Cairo, on the borders of the desert, form the last of these necrop oii. Every one is familiar with the ap pearance of these strange pyramids, these huge paradoxes of strictly geo metrical form, so vast and so lofty that it was not until after fifty eight centuries of development that the Im man rac?' succeeded in erecting a building of greater height, whilst the loftiest pinnacle of the most aspiring Gothic belfry, however light and airy it.be, did not soar higher than the point of tb? pyramid of Cheops before it was. bjuuted by time. Nothing! conld be more coufusing to the eye than the general appearance of these heaps of stones, in which no artistic conception plays the slightest part. The effects of-perspective in these lines of mathematical regularity are most bizarre?huge bare triangles, the outlines shortened or lengthened, xaarkedj>u'tji^ Ta diagram by the sun i into fiatb bands of light and shade, the reflections in the sand of the four mighty Justes varying according to the time of "day. Hie sloping sides, which at a distance appear absolutely plain, are, when appraached more nearly, discovered to be broken up into a series of projecting stones, like a huge stairway worn with age. It is somewhat difficult to judge at first sight of th? pyramid, and the best way is to measure the height by climbing it ! It is at a corner where the stages, which seem to have been made fora race of giants, are divided into smaller steps, either for the sake of mortals of lesser stature or by the I action of time, that the ascent of the great pyramid of Cheops is made. We start, pushed from behind by one Arab guide, and dragged from above by another, with our eyes fully occu pied with the dangers of the climb. Completely exhausted, altogether out of breath and with knees too stiff to move, we pauRe at .last feeling as if we had scaled all three pyramids at once. But looking round, we find we are scai^ej^^pue-thir^ <tf the dis tance up, and .see ?ur telFow-climbers looking like scattered, ants upon the hugejfrlangular mass. It is not until the platform at the top is reached, and the lungs are filled with'the pure air of the heights, tjtat any real id??a is obtained of the monument of Cheops. !i V And what does this huge edifice contain? We must go down again to filld OUt. ; The entrance, which was walled up, is at a considerable heightTrom the groand, in one of the faces of the pyramid, and looks like the porch of a care cut in the living rock. A dark gloomy-looking .door opens on to a low narrow passage, with floor, walla ami ce?iing all lined with gran ite, polished till it is like ice. An Arab guide, with a candle in his I hand, hoists you on to his shoulders and plunges with you into the slip pery corridor, which descends rapid ly to s hole in the rock on a level with the soil, going up again at the same angle. This opening gives ac cess to a bare room, in which is a square hole, once the resting-place of the mummy cf one of the Pharaohs. The rest of the interior consists of two or three narrow passages, resem bling cavities made in oak timber by the teredo, with two other chambers similar to ihat known as the King's, all faced with granite, without a moulding or ornament of any kind ; airless enclosures, where no chink admits a ray of light or sunshine ; huge masses of compact limestone, wrapt in utter night and silence, such is the strange monument to build up which Cheops caused mountains of stone to be removed by whole nations of people, who perished at their task beneath the whips of the convict guards. Doesn't Like Bicycles. I detest bicycles, because 00 riders out of 100 look as if running away from a sheriff. Beot nearly into a semi-circle, they go kicking away for dear life. A graceful, easy rider is very beautiful if he but sit up straight. Bat what a Ben Bow set we shall have, born of cycliDg, as it now goes on ! What sibows, what backs ! The only compensation is that their calves grow large as their brains grow small That is a good thing. There are too many large heads?too many brains in pro portion. Horseback riding made fine chests and fioe faces as well as good legs But cycling !?Lord deliver us ! ?A Doctor in the St. Louis G lobe Democrat. Keeping Ducks. An Irish gentleman visited the mun icipal court, and walking up to the bench, said: "Joodge, the wather pipe at the hydrant beyaot me bouse has bursht and it has flooded me cellar and is drowning me bins. Me name is McCarthy, joodge." The judge sym pathized with him, and was sorry for the damp life his bens were leading, but told him he would have to go to the j board of public works and complain. ; McCarthy went away, but the next morning he came back to the judge aod told the same story about the "wather." and the "bios," when the judge said, "I told you to go to the board of public works and tell your story." "And I did," said McCarthy. And what did they say ?*' asked the judge. McCarthy looked indignant and said, "The man axed me. 'McCar thy,* says he, 'Why in thunder don't you kape ducks V n A Soap Weed. The Mexican soap weed is going converted rapidly into toilet soap by a manufacturing company. The soap weed since time began, or since the Kansas prairie was an inland sea, has thrust its roots deep in the soil of the unsheltered plains and flourished. There has been notbing^until dqw to diminish th^ supply o? exterminate the species. The hot sun, the baking winds, mad the dearth of that moisture which is supposed to be abso lutely necessary to life, harmed not this hardy sentinel of the plaios. The root of this weed is now being gathered op by men who drive their wagons over the plains of western Kan sas. A sharp spade is driven deeply by ! the side of the plant, the earth is broken j and the thick brown root secured. The I top with its long spines is thrown aside, j Sometimes a long, sharp tool is required j to reach deep into the ground, in order ! to secure the greater part of the root, j The root has been known to extend as j far as twenty feet iuto the soil, but only j from two to three feet of the upper por tion, which is about two iucbeb thick, U worth digging for. This root is brought j by the wagon load to Kansas City, ! where a factory converts it into soap. ! The roots are first washed, then cut up j and boiled out in a big vat, where other iogredients are also pieced. When ; this is dried out to such a degree that it ' will solidify, it is moulded into semi transparent cakes that siip around io the hand delightfully while being used. One of the most wonderful things about thid weed is that while growing tu a region where alkali pools dot the ground, and where the soil is white with the chemi- ! cal, none of it is found in the roof, j M?ny of the poorer settlers who occupy ' "dugouts" cut the root into convenient j pieces aod use it as a cake of soap.? j Kansas City Times. - ? - Gastronomic Item. "Wo arc- going to have pie fur din- j ner," said Bobby to the minister. "Indeed r laughed the clergyman, j amused at the little boy's artlesaness: : "and what kind of pie, Bobbyr j "It's a new kind. Ma was talking j this morning about pa bringing you to j dinner so often, and pa said he didn't care what she"thought, and niasaitl she'd ; make him eat humble pie before the <Uy ' was over, an I suppose we're g< in to I have it for dinner."?Texas Sittings, Society in Western Towns. There is a social equality in western (, country towns that prevails nowhere else, and the daughters of the blacksmith are quite as prominent as the daughters of the banker, providing they behave a. well, which they are likely to do, as they ail grow up together and arc edn- j cated in the same- schools.

A Place Where a Stranger Would See No Traces of Baying or Selling?Mil lions of Dollars Iteprcsentcd to One Day's Stock Carried in Queer Places. It was tho-Ahbe. Hany who subjected diamonds f? the roughest treatment. He used to take ? hammer and smash them. He did the fame with emeralds, rabies and sapphires, just as if they were worth nothing. By this heroic treatment the venerable abbe discovered that the broken particles of all precious stones h?ve particular forms which establish their genuineness beyond all doubt. Be fore his time it was almost impossible to tell a diamond from a brilliant or a piece of rock crystal. But now nobody breaks precious stones, Any dealer can take, with an indifferent air, the diamond that is presented to him for examination, and say without the least hesitation, "That weighs 60 much; it is a little fellow; it is worth so much." And he is never deceived. At the pres ent time everybody is somewhat of a dealer, and the consequence Is that everybody can distinguish a real dia mond among a thousand bogus stones. On the second floor of a cafe in the Boulevard Montmartre the market or bourse of pre^ioue stones ta held, always te broad daylight. Very few strangers to the trade can penetrate this sanc tuary, not because the access to it Is difficult, for the door is always wide open, but because the portfolios close and the stars disappear the momentan unknown face appears at the threshold. Instead of animated traders the stranger only finds a few dull eyed Jews, carelessly playing a game of bezique. Ah, but there is a Turk there, too; the Turk that looks so much like Coudere, of the Opera Comique, except that he is yellow and wears very loose trousers, but these trousers are full of diamonds. Don't believe for a moment that these good Jews, the merchants in precious stones, are afraid of robbers. That is the smallest thing that bothers them. What they dread is to let the profane, and especially the small jewelers, know the real value of their goods. ? As soon as the stranger departs the arms stretch out and the portfolios re appear. The greater number of these portfolios are made of tin .and are closed with a lock and key. In a moment the tables are covered with little bundles of white paper formed like those in which the druggists put rhubarb or sulphate of magnesia. These packages are open ed, and in less time than it takes to tell it all the tables, including the billiard table, are covered with precious stones that might startle the king of Persia, A strange spectacle is presented by those sordid old men quietly taking from their pockets tliree or four millions' worth. Each one of perhaps 10,000 packages contains so many brilliants. After they are disposed of the rare stones sre intro duced. Here there aro sapphires as big as nuts. There lies a black diamond almost as large as the twelve pearls that surround it. Here again is a necklace made of fifteen emeralds that would make as many snuffboxes, certainly not big enough for M. Hyacinthe, of the Palais Royal, but too big beyond a doubt for the nose of Mlle. D. "Hero is a rare bargain,** shouts ono of the merchants, "one of the finest pieces of ancient jewelry known! It is a necklace that belonged to Madame la Princesse de Guemenee. Mounting, diamonds end all are ancient. Prince Proisetoiloff refused 75,000 francs for it twenty years ago." The necklace is passed from hand to hand. The merchants gaze at it with attention. The eyeglasses come into play. Indecision and doubt are painted upon some faces. At last the necklace is passed to Michel. He is the great judge. He takes the thing, weighs it in his hand, looks at it with an indifferent air and savs, "The two brilliants are ancient Ihey come with their mount ing from the Countess do Pre jean. The two others, still finer, onco formed part of a necklace which was stolen in Venice in 1804 from Mme. Morosini. This neck lace belonged biter on to Lady Temple, whose husband, purchased it at Candaax of Isaac Lieven. Lady Temple gave it to her daughter, who sold it three days after her marriage. As for the sapphire in the center, that comes from the sale of Mile. Schneider. The rest is new and comes direct from Hamburg. But, after all, it is well preserved, and 75,000 francs does not seem to be too much fox it.** As extraordinary as it may appear there are cow living five or six indi viduals who know all the costly dia monds and all the rich jewels in the world, and they are able to recognize them after a lapse of thirty years, eveo when they had first only seen them a moment, as certainly as a tailor would recognize at thirty paces the enstomet that forgot to pay him. When a robbery is committed in the house of a well known jeweler, a thing which often happens in Paris, London, Vienna and St. Petersburg, if there is among the objects stolen a stone of more than ordinary value it is sure to be found again, although it may take many years to bring it back to its owner.?Figaro.
