Although coaches, properly So
called, were not introduced into
England before 1880, during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, vet the
ladies in England used to ride in
carriages called whirlicotes, for we
find it recorded that in 1860 the
mother of Richard H., who accom-
panied him in his flight. rode in a
vehicle SO designated. Strange as
the notion may seem to us now.

RECORD or NON. RICHARD NELSON.

This prominent gentleman wa.
born in Key West, Monroe county
Florida, in the year 1912, and is
now twenty-nine years of age. His
father was a native of Spain, and
his mother was Virginian. At the
age of two years Mr.. Nelson's father
died; his mother at that time be-
longed to man named j.. w. Smith,
a prominent lawyer of Key West,
and an advocate of the American
Colonization Society, of Liberia.
At the age of ten years Mr.. Nelson
attended school ut Key West,
opened there for the free people of
color, and soon showed his talents,
which were seen and appreciated by
his teacher. He remained close
attendant of this school for three
years. At the age of thirteen years
he accompanied a party of United
States officers on n surveying ex-
petition, and on his return moved
from Key West to Atlanta, Georgia; /;
from here he went to Herkimer
county, New York, to attend school,
where he remained until just before
the war broke ont, when he accom-
panied gentleman named Clark to
Columbus, Mississippi, where Clark
shamefully betrayed him, in selling
him to n man named Shelton, by
whom he was brought to Texas,
where he remained during the war
with Mr.. Walker Storey, of Leon
county. MI. Nelson remained one
year with the widow of Mr.. Storey
after the war was over, and took
leave of her to go and see his
mother.
He arrived at Galveston in Jan
uary, 1866, where he went into
business; and here it was that his
active mind and energy soon brought
him prominently before the public
and his own people on the question
of reconstruction. He soon became
one of the acknowledged leaders of
his race in Texas. Mr.. Nelson has
considerable ability and talent, and
was recently elected Justice of the
Peace for this county. He took the
position he occupies, in connection
with the political interests of the
State, from a sense of duty, which
he could not well resist, from the
peculiar state of political affairs
here. Mr.. Nelson is colored man
holding responsible position in
this State. His highest ambition is
the elevation of his race from their
former despondency and degrade
ton to high attainments in educa-
ton, and the proper discharge of
their duties of citizenship in this
great and free Republic.

Clocks were first used in monas-
teries. The word original meant
DELL; and the two-clock and bell
in calling their inmates to their de-
votions performed the same Office.
There were, however, tower-clocks;
not small ones for apartments. One
was set up in France, in 1874, and
created a great excitement, being
the wonder of the age. The maker
OF it was made a nobleman for his
services in constructing such an ex-
traordinary piece of workmanship.
The first one in England, was dur
ing the reign of Edward l., and was
placed IN the tower opposite West
minister Palace. The hour-glass
and sun-dial had long been in COM
mon nse; but this was the first thing
which could be called a clock, except
the water clocks, one of which had
been brought home from France by
Richard Cenr de Lion.
How HOG SwEATs.-A hog sweats,
not like a horse or q man, but
through his fore legs. There is a
spot on each leg, just below the
knee, in the form of a sieve; through
this the sweat passes off, and it is
necessary that this be kept open. II
it gets closed, as is sometimes the
case, the heg will get sick. To cure
him, simply open the pores This is
done by rubbing and washing with
warm water.
