journeyed on, within sight of each other,
until noon, when, being before, we stopped
at a house on the wayside to refresh our
selves and horses. They passed on. After
dinner we continued our journey, and af-
ter having travelled mile we passed
them at house, where they had stopped
for a similar.purpose. We kept on to the
Springs, where we arrived before them
We found great many anxious persons
at the gate ready to meet us,-no, not us,
for they were disappointed. We were in
terrogated as to what road we had come,
and whether we had seen John C. Cal
houn. The last of which inquiries we of
course answered in the negative After
being conducted to our room and staying
there short time, we heard considera-
ble stir among the boarders and those who
were awaiting Mr.. Calhoun's arrival. And
on going to the gate he saw the We table
"little one-horse waggon," and soon learn
eel that the well dressed and polished man
WAS no less parsonage, than the South's
Champion and South Cardinals boasted
son John G. Calhoun! We afterwards
learned the causes which induced him to
accept seat in so humble vehicle. He
was on his way from Washington city to
Glenn Springs, S. c., and came on as far
as L, Il small town in n. c., in public
conveyance. The next morning he found
out that there were no public conveyances
near there. lie also failed in procuring
any private carriage; and whilst standing
with some men, hesitating what to do, a
carpenter came up in one-horsc Wagon,
ard cnquired Of the crowd the way to
W-n's Spring; lie said to the carpenter
that he was going there and would show
him the way, if he would give him a seat
in his wagon, which the carpenter proudly
granted, and soon the greatest man, south
of Mason and Dixon's line, and an humble
carpenter were ronversing very familiarly
on mechanics, in "Mc EHie ,raggon."

The Fruits of a Half Century.

FIFTY years ago steamboats, were un.
known-now there are 5000 afoat on
American waters alone. In 1900 there
was not single railroad in the world
now there are 10000 miles in the Unitd
States, and about % 900 in America and
England Half a century ago it took
some weeks to convey news from Wash
ington to New Orleans-now not as many
seconds as it then did weeks. Fifty years
ago the most rapid printing press was
worked by hand power--now steam prints
10000 papers an hour on a single press.
Now is a great fellow, but will be much
bigger half a century hence.
