TIE RA,N.-The generous showers Of
rain on Saturday and Saturday night, did q
world of good to the crops Of our county,
which were actually endangered by the
protracted dry w,ather. Persons from the
country report that one could almost see
vegetation grow unler the refreshing in
huencc. Previous to the rain, long phizes
lively speaking, longer than corn-stalks ;
but this morning was commenced with
broad grins and high hopes for the fu

sionally, but is well worth trusting. II
this year glidcs along with good crops and
no cholera, we don't see how professions
grumblsrs will put in their time.

ALFONSO LOMBARD, a celebrated sculptor
to the Emperor Charles V, was great coxcomb.
He got punished one day by lady of Bologna, to
whom he took it into his head to make love IN
foppish manner. She was his partner at a ball. IN
the midst of which he turned to her, and heavlng
a profound sigh, said, with fantastic gesture:
''If It's not love feel, what is it p
perhaps" said the young lady, something
bites you"

Judge and jury in good set terms 'if you go on
in that way, sir, they'll hang me, know they will:
Never mind, my boy" replied the counsel, ad
Irish gentleman, carried away by his own eloquence
"never mind. my boy let them hang you. and I'll
make them repent it.
FASHIONABLE TALK--A lady thus address

mistress could mean.

winters night he woke up in land where
there was no more going to sleep.

LIFE IN JAvA-A traveller writes from
Batavia, Island of Java "The Hotel des
Indies, at which | am stopping-the main
building, two stories high, with an immense
piazza in FRONTS connected on each side
by buildings like railroad depots, 800 or
400 feet long Each suite of rooms con-
tains room enough to make two, three, and
even half dozen ordinary rooms such as
we get at the hotels in the United States.
In front and back are bath-houses, fount-
aims, fower-gardens, and Out-houses, for
cooking and for servants, marble floor,
tiled roofs, ceiling from 20 to 80 feet high,
no carpets, and but few curtains. Meals
are served up in about the same style as at
the first-class hotels in New York The
habitr of living are quite different. At
daylight, coffee and tea are taken to your
room at eight, same, with light refresh
ments twelve, breakfast, and at seven,
or night, same as baths. No extra charge,
take them or not, as you may cnoose. The
hotel is situated in the new or upper town,
some half dozen miles from the water. 1t
is fair specimen of five or six others,
within half mile of each other. My hotel
and ground cover tel acres. The whole
ground, like the rest of the city, is one i'm
mense forest of trees and canals"

The TRour-This is the only fish that
comes in and goes out of season with the
deer He grows rapidly, and dies after
reaching mis- full growth. The female
spawns in October, at different time from
nearly Ill other fish after which both male
and female become lean, weak, and un-
wholesome eating, and if examined closely,
will be found covered with species of
clove-sh aped insects, which appear to suck
their substance from them, and they con-
tinue sick until warm weather, when they
rub the insects off on the gravel, and i'm
mediately grow strong. The female is the
best for the table She may be known by
her small head and deep body Fish are
always in season when their heads are SO
small as to be disportioned to the size of
their body The trout is less oily and rich
than the salmon the female is much
brighter and more beautiful than the male
they swim rapidly, and often leap, like the
salmon, to great height when ascending
streams In trout pond they may be fed
with angle worms, rose bugs, crickets,
grass-hoppers, &c, which they attack with
great voracity. They grow much more
rapidly in ponds than in their native
streams, from the fact that they are better
fed, and not compelled to exercise. Trout
are the only fish known that possess voice,
which is perceived by pressing them, when
they emit a murmuring sound, and tremble
all over.

DOES THE SPIDER EAT IT'S WEB ?

web of fine, fat spider, and the owner ap-
peared excessively astonished as her web
collapsed around her. At length she took
refuge in an inverted fower-pot, where |
found her two hours after. | am inclined
to think that during this period she was
preparing materials for new web. found
in every case, where a web is destroyed,
that the spider goes away to some quiet
spot, and drawing his legs closely round
him, remains quiet two or three hours. Dur
ing this period of repose the spider is stu
pid and dull-iust gives an impatient shut
fe when touched, and does not run of, as
spiders generally do when disturbed.
watched again, then left and when return
ed, in half an hour, | found the spider az
active as a spider could be, in building a
new web, the old one, which, on my last Wis
it, was still hanging, had now vanished
Had the spider eaten it? That's the rub
By lucky chance another spider came
along the piece of wood, from the end of
which my spider had fastened one of her
foundation lines. "They met" and in an
instant the claws of each was shot out with
dexterity that puglist might envy the
blows were given in the same manner
as a cat strikes her antagonist. The tres
passing spider was soon convinced that it
would be the height of folly to stop where
he was so, fastening line from where he
stood, he let himself down on to convol
vulus leaf. My friend rushed to the spot
where spider No. had fastened his line,
and seizing ON it (the other end of which,
be # remembered, was in communication
with spider No. 2's body, began to wind
him off--that is to say, she drew the line in
toward herself in the same manne- that
sailor hauls in a rope, but with a rapidity
that was truly wonderful the front legs
were moved so quickly that my eyes could
scarcely follow them. Spider No. had
decided objection TO his vitals being wound
away in this sort of manner, put an end to
my friends little pastime by cutting the
line. Spider No had now collected web
that amounted to the size of large pea
when she found the supply cut off, she be-
gan slowing it away in her own body, fore
ing it in with her two front claws, and in a
few moments not a vestige was left.

AMUSING INo1DENT.-An amusing Incl
dent is told of woman in England,
whose husband, a wealthy man, died
suddenly without leaving any will. The
widow, desirous of securing the whole
property, concealed her husbands death
and pursuaded poor shoemaker to take
his place while will could be made. Ac-
cordingly, he was closely mufied in bed,
as if very sick, and alawyer was called
to write the will. The shoemaker, in a
feeble, voice, bequeathed half of all the
property to the widow. "What shall
be done with the remainder asked the
lawyer. aThe remainder" replied he, u
give and bequeath to the poor little shoe
maker across the street, who has always
been good neighbor and deserving
man," thus securing rich bequest for
himself. The widow was thunderstruck
with the mans audacious cunning, but
did not dare expose the fraud, and SO TIVE
rogues shared the estate.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1866-03-29

A young man in England having en-
tertained tender passion for young
woman, felt such insurmountable diff
dence as to prevent his ever disclosing
the same to the fair empress of his heart,
and resolved on an expediont that would
bring the business to an issue. He went
to the clergyman and requested the bans
of marriage might be published according
to law. When the publication was
brought to her ears, she was filled with
astonishment, and went to him to vent
her resentment; he bore the sally with
fortitude, observing, that if she did not
think proper to have him, she could go to
the clergyman and forbid the bans. AT
ter moments pause she took wit in her
anger, and said, GAS it has been done, it
is pity that the shilling should be
thrown away"

"A writer in a Georgia paper intro
duces the American eagle, which for FIVE
years has been comparative stranger in

Fourth of July comes but onct year,
