The Representatives Vote.

We think we have fallen iHto an error in
figuring the vote that the political parties OF
this district can give to their respective can
didAtes for Representatives-not, however,
miss,ating the practical result. The Re-
nnhlicAn vote in Rock Island and Henry
counties, now composing the IWenty-n'st
Senatorial district, was ISIS IN 1000, ana
the Democratic vote was 3,b69. Win the
same number of voters now, the democrats
can. by uniting on one candidate and giving
him three votes from every voter, Poli Tor
him Il,O07 votes; and the Republicans,
voting equally for two candidates, one and
balf votes for each, could give to each
1917 votes. Our Democratic friends talk
boasttully of their ability te elect two can
didAtes. We hope they will try II and
their faith in the liberal strength may per
hans be estimated in the courage that they
| v;il show in this If they really beiieve
thai the liberals have taken to them the
Republicsn voters that they claim, they car
| ford 10 nominate two candidates for Rep
rssantatives. and divide their votes equally
b.tvsap them. The Democrats, on the vote
of '6S, could give to each OF two CANDIDA aies

This good story is told of Judge Rice,
lately. About the commencement of the
war, he made speech in North Alabama,
in which he said that the Southern soldiers
could whip the Yankees with pop-guns.-
Since the war, he CHANGED to make another
speech at the same place. A big, double
jointed fellow was present who heard and
remembered the former speech, and being in
no amiable frame Of mind, concluded to 20
for Sam. Rolling up his sleeves and popping
his fist in the palm of his hand, he pro-
pounded the fearful question
"Sam Rice, didn't you make a speech
here in 1861 2"
~ did," said Sam.
Sand didn't you say that we could whip
the Yankees with pop-guns ?"
-. - Certainly did, but the id rascal,
wouldn't fight that way~

The SHEEP LEAP--The St. Louis Dem
ocrat prints this beautiful little story =
"There is covered bridge at Peoria Eve
hundred feet above high water marx. A
drover recently attempted to drive thou
sand sheep across. When about half way
over the bellwether notised ar open win
dow, and recognizing his destiny, made a
strike for glory and the grave. When he
reached the sunlight he at once appreciated
his critical situation, and, with leg strech-
ed towards each cardinal point of the COM
pass, he uttered plaintive 'Ma-a!' and
descended to his fate The next sheep and
next followed, initiating the gesture and
remark of the leader. For hours it rained
sheep. The ere while placid stream was
incarnadine with the life blood of moribund
mutton, and not until the brief tail of the
last sheep as it disappeared through the
window waved adieu to this wretched
world, did the movement cease"

NUMBER 81.
AN UNMIsTAKEABLE CALL"

Somebody is always telling stories of the
" Hard Shell Baptists Wags have the
run of them, and they may as well be CON.
tent and bear it. The following was told
of them long since. Our informant To-
Gates it among the mountains OF North
Carolina, where the Hardshells are quite
numerous, and where they believe pretty
strongly in dreams and voices. In the i'm
portant matter of call to the ministry,
dream or voice is considered almost in-
dispensable.
Now it came to pass that man by the
name Of Walker felt himself considerably
moved to "hold forth and kept, "spread-
ing the fleece" Gide,n-like, to ascertain
his duty in the premises. To assist him
in his pious investigations, he called at
still-house one evening to get some of the
"good crtter." After refreshment, the
story runs, he left for home, and on the
way he felt a" moved" to go into the grove
few hundred yards from the road "thar
to wrastle on the subject" While he was
" wrastling" most earnestly, scarcely out
done by the patriarch, some one passed the
road with long cared animal, politely
called Jack Donkey, and Jack led of,
as his race ere wont to do sometimes, in q
most moving and thrilling manner.
Walkers imagination, by his earnest
" wrastling," was wrought up to great in
tensity, and he converted Major Jacks
discordant mrsic, which to most people
resembles the fling of mill-saw, into t.
call from Heaven urging him to preach
the Gospel. No time was to be lost. He
rose from his knees duly commissioned,
went to the church. and demanded IL
cense, when the pastor interrogated him
thus:
" Do you believe Brother Walker, you
are called of God to preach, as was Aa-
ron ?"
"AIost sartinly 1 do"
L" Give the church, that is the bretherin
a proof"
:" l was nightly diAikclted, and 1 was
determined to go out into the woods and
wra.tle it off"
"That's it, Brother Walker"
'And while there, wrastlin, Jacob-like,
| hearn one of the curiosest voices 1 ever
hearn in all my born days."
"You are on the right track Brother
Walker, go on with your noration."
. | couldn't tell for the life of me whsth.
er the voice was up in the air or down in
the sky, it sounded so curious"
." Poor creetur, how he was difikelted.
Go on to norate, Brother. How did it ap-
pear to sound unto you ?"
why, this away. 'Waw-waw kor;
waw-waw-waw-ker! Gopreach, go preach,
go preach-ee, go preach-ah, go preach uh,
go preach-ah ah-uh- ee ah-uh,ee.'
Brutherin and sistelin, that's the right
sort OF call. Enough said Brother
Walker. That's none of your college calls.
No doctor of divinity ever got such call
as that Brother Walker must have IL
ceEse, sartain and sure"
The license was granted, and doubtless
Walker made the mountains ring with his
stentorian eloquencc.

A WONDERFUL SPRIsG.-Silver Springs,
Florida IS one oc tho greatest curios:ties in
the South. 1t bursts forth in the midst of
the most fertile country in the State. 1t bub-
bles up in basin near one hundred feet deep
and about an acre in extent, and sending from
it a deep stream .iz to eight miles to Ockla-
waha river. In the spring itself Fifty boats
may lie at anchor-quite feet Tie spring
thus for.ss natural inland port to which
three steamers run regularly from s.. Johns,
making close connections with the ocean
steamers at Palatka. The clearEess of the wa-
ter is truly wonderful. It seems even more
transparent than air; you can see the bottom
eighty feet below the bottom of your boat,
the exact form of the smallest pebbles, the
ontline color of the leaf that has sun.., and
all the prismatic colors Of tie rainbow are
reflected. Large fsh swim in it, every seals
visible, and every movement distinctly seen
If you 60 over the spring in C boat you will
see the fiissure in the rocks from which the
river pours up like an inverted cataract.

A School FoR ScoLDrNa.-In the early
part of the present century scolding was re-
garded among certain class in England as
an art to be improved by systematic cultiva-
ton. A witness giving evidence before a
Poor Law Committee many years ago. testi
fed that in one instance within his knowledge
there was night school kept by an old wo.
man for the sole purpose of instructing chill
dren, and especially girls, how to scold with
vigor and effect One pupil would assume
fictitious character, called Mother Barlow,
and she would be pitted against another who
would be called Mother Cummins in con-
test of verbal abuse, the teacher encouraging
and prompting first one and then the other
as the exigencies of the case may require.
Such tuition was considered useful to the girls,
not only to enable them to ''defend their sta.
tions" in the streets, but also as tending to
qualify them for the position of wives and
mothers.
