A very good house welcomed Mr.. Owens last

THE GoosEcREEK ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
An Inquest was held yesterday over the body
of Abram Grant, who was accidentally shot on
Monday by s. o. Virgins while on a fishing
excursion. The jury assembled pursuant to
adjournment, at the Oaks, sixteen miles from
the city, on the Northeastern Railroad, where
they were met by Coroner Taft. The exami.
nation of witnesses lasted throughout the day,
and the testimony thus far seems to confirm
the statement of young Virgins that the
shooting was purely accidental. In the alter
noon the jury adjourned over until Saturday
for the purpose OF procuring further evidence.
Brown and Virgins remain at the jail.

FIRE ON JOINS IsLAND.-The lumber and
grist mills of Mr.. j. NJ. Humbert, situated on
Johns Island, about ten miles from the city,
were destroyed by fire yesterday morning
about three O'Clock. The stables and commits
sary depot adjacent were also consumed. The
progress OF the flames was so rapid That the
stable door had to be cut open to save the
mules from destruction. The origin Of the
fire is unknown, but 1t is supposed to have
been the work of an lncendiary. The property
was uninsured. Mr.. Humbert is one of the
largest lumber dealers on the seaboard Of
South Carolina. He was in the city at the
time the fire occurred. The work of rebuild
ing his mills will be Immediately begun.

cleared s. zoe last year from the proceeds
at his fruit orchard and mentioned, in.
ciJcntally, that the chief reason why his
peach trees were loaded with fruit while
others apparently on the same kind OF

placed here and there TO make their sur
roundings beautiful In the barnyard
you will see the best breeds of cattle; no
cows will be tolerated that scarcely give
poor milk enough to pay for the food
consumed The boys and girls are
taught 10 take an interest in the pro-
ducts of the farm; every stone is
lesson in geology every weed a botani-
cal lecture, and the beetles, bugs and but
tertiies are treasures for the entomology
ical cabinet. Need farm life be lonesome
with such an abundance Of materials for
study at command If boys were taught
How plants grow they would take
more interest in their culture but, as a
rule, such things are looked upon as rep
Iesentatives Of SO much money, which is
placing them in the darkest light possible.
There are but two things needed to
make American farm life attractive to
young people, and these are, a knowl-
edge, scientific and practical, of all that
pertains to the farm and its surroundings,
such as botany, Chronology, geology, ply
siology, especially that branch relating
to the breeding of domestic animals and
other kindred sciences to which any mem
Der OF the family may have natural taste.
In addition to these, give the children an
interest in the annual receipts. Every
farmer who has children can afford to
make them his partners in business, for
he must know from his own experience
that as soon as a child knows the value
ofmOney, a desire to possess it and have
a separate, individual purse of his or her
own is born. Parents may say that all
the property will go to the children when
we are done with it, but waiting for
dead mems shoes is not in keeping with
the spirit of Young America.
Give the boys a direct interest in the
products of the farm, and they will have
an incentive to work better, save more,
besides learn how to keep farm accounts
and do business, And if there are
daughters, let them share with the rest,
and never fail to settle the account an
nually, allowing the children to draw
their cash, even if they lend it to their
parents again taking notes on interest for
security
You that find it so difficult to keep the
children at home or interested in farming,
buy few books relating to the subjects
we have named, aud next January make
the boys and girls over sixteen partners
in the business, promising to the younger
ones an equal chance when they arrive at
that age, and see what effect it will have
upon them as well as yourself -Ner York

A Practical Joke.

A SWISS court has had before it a case
originating from a practical Joke Of an
equally daring and ridiculous nature 4
sapper, with bushy beard, who was re
turning to his native village from his
military duty, stayed night in the chief
town Of the Canton. He was found drunk
in ditch on the road side. Two ways
passing by, according to the Swiss Times,
took the drunken man first to the house
Of one Of them, who owned an old monks
cowl and tonsure, shaved all the hair off
his face, and dressed him in the habit of
a monk. They then took him to the
nearest convent, and said they had found
him lying drunk on the roadside, and had
brought him there in order to avoid the
scandal which might ensue if he were
found outside. On awakening, the sap
per was not little astonished to find
himself in the cell of a convent, with a
monks COwl on; and that he had no hair
left on his face or on the crown of his
head. To his protestations, the fathers
replied that he must be still laboring un-
der the effects Of drink, and advised him
to 20 to sleep once more. At length they
consented to send for the priest of the
parish where he resided, in order 20 clear
up the mystery On the priest arriving,
he recognized in the pseudo monk his
parishiouer, whereupon he was permitted
to depart. Means were found to discover
the two wags and the sapper thus ex-
tempori2ed into monk, as well as the
brotherhood who were SO fooled, intend
to bring an action against them. As in re-
ligiou5 matters the Canton Of Frihurg IS
very strict, and is not likely to see the
point Of the joke, the two wags will prob
ably get the worst Of it,

The Star Sirius.

The Star Sirius.
THE apparent orbit OF Sirius, the dog
star" to whose ascendency the heat of the
summer months and the prevalence Of
hydrOphobia at this secason have from
time immemOrial been attributed, is at
the present time 50 near to that Of the
sun that the star is invisible to us. But
although absent from our nightly field Of
stellar observation, we are continually re-
minded, by the thermometer and other.
wise, of the supposed influence of this
body; and a few considerations Of it's
pcculiarities will not, therefore, be out Of
place.
OF the enormous distance Of Sirius and
the other stars, no adequate conception
can be formed; but here statistics come to
our aid. II has been demonstrated that
IF our sun were removed to the distance
Of the nearest called fixed star, it would
assume the apparent size Of star of the
second magnitude But Sirius is many
times as far from our earth rs the nearest
fixed star, and its immense separation
may be formulated by stating that it is
1915, 900 times the radius Of the Carth's
orbit away from our planet. This radius
EQUALS W, 400 600 miles, and the result of
the calculation astounds us with its mag
nitude, and leads to still further astonish
ment at the distance Of the multitudinOus
bodies Of the nebulW which, when con
gregated millions together, scarcely sui
flee, in some instances, to render the
aggregation visible to the unaided eye.
Such is the enormous mass of the star
Sirius that it has frequently been sup
posed to be the center Of the universe, as
far as our powers of research can reach
1t is certainly possible that our whole
solar system is revolving around this
bright particular star, but its obviously
increasing distance points out the deduc-
ton that the orbit OF the system is an &C.
travelling away from that part of the
heavens with which VIC are familiar OF
the rate at which Sirius is leaving us Jc-
hind, it is sufficient to give the results Of
the best Astronomical observation. Mr..
lIuggins, whose discoveries with the spec
trOsCUpG have done much to make us IA
miiar with the enormous powers OF that
invaluable instrument has found by
watching the hydrogen line given by this
star that It's displacement equals $50 Of
an inch toward the red end Of the spec
trum, and he deduccs from this fact that
! the retrangiblity Of the light Of Sirius IS
much diminished, rs the red are the least
retrangibc Of all the COlured rays, and
this is complete proof that Sirius is re-
cediug from the earth. Then the ques.
tiOn arises: At what rate is this rGtrogrado
motion taking place: Computation from
the spectrum gives it at about II miles
