years that he lived in Columbia pre-

the Christian Church in this place. A

Our Fair closed on $ uurdhy last, and
although the ATTENDANCE was not so
large as we could have wished, yet
many of our best farmers and most
charming women were present, from
day 10 day, to cheer the society with
their presence. A noticeable feature OF
the fair was an address from the veneer
able DIR. Daniel Lee, the Agricultural
editor OF the American, on Thursday.
We had hoped to have published his
remarks, or at least full synopsis Of
them, but failed to get them. The DIR.
is evidently in earnest in his work, aud
is thoroughly imbued with the spirit OF
the Improvement tn 1t is evidently going
on in the farming interest OF the cOun-
try. He Is quite vigorous speaker,
aud shows himself at HON on the ros>
Urum as we'll as on the tripod, DIR. Lee
is in full accord with the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Democratic platforms on
the currency question, and he pie ured
in strong colOrs the ruin, to the whole
land, that will follow the contraction OF
the currency to gold basis. He takes
the ground that this great and rapidly
growing country can't make gold an
swer the p4rpose OF trade: The whole
world don't furnish gold enough for this
purpose. The address Was we'll r. ceiv~
ed, and we'll calculated to stimulate our
farmers to renewed effort. We hope
DIR. Lee will visit us often, and
give us the benefit of his large CXperi-

THE SELLER SoLD.-A neat game is
now played upon passengers on the Il
hnois Central Railroad. The candy
man goes around, and, having selected a
victim, proposes to sell him box of figs.
Ii he does not wish to purchase, the
candy man gets confidential, places ten
dollars in fig box, and, picking up two
other boxes, inquiries how much he will
give for his choice out of the three
boxes. About this time the victim sees
the corner of a five dollar bill protruding
from one of the boxes, which the candy
man has, of course, overlooked. A bar
gain is soon struck for two, three or
five dollars and the victim finds nothing
in the box except the figs and the corner
of the bill. This game was tried last
Tuesday morning on Conductor Llockes
train upon newspaper reporter, who
permitted himself to be taken in in order
to teach the peanut vender a lesson in
sharp practice. After he had been reliev-
ed OF his money, be secured the sharp
er's name, and, upon his returning to
the car, the reporter called him over,
complimented him for his sagacity and
assured him that his name should be
duly chronicled in the papers. He there
upon returned the money with great alac-
rity and proposed to add $40 more in
order to be screened from exposure.
This complimentary benefit was respect
fully declined for the public good, and
the facts are now made known for the
travellers protection.

DEATH OF AN OLD NEGREss.-
Madisonville, Ky.) Southwest says ::
can old negress living five miles west
of town died Wednesday, 18th ult., at
the remarkable age of one hundred and
eleven years. No one who saw her
could doubt for a moment that she had
attained to this age. She was shiveled
and dried up to a..terrible extent, being
nothing but skin and bones. The mus
cles in her wrists and ankles had con-
tracted in such manner as to turn her
hands and feet out as to render them en-
tirely useless to her. She had not been
able to get out of the house for a num-
ber of years. Though complete i'm
beetle the greater part of the time, oc-
casional moments of reason and remem
brano would come to her, and she would
talk of occurrences eighty and ninety
years ago quite glibly and intelligently.
At the time of her death she was living
with daughter over seventy years old. -

The COMING PRINCE.-We have not
paid much attention to the rumor that
the Crown Prince of Germany was about
to visit the United States. We feared it
was one of those things which the peo-
pie wished for without there being much
prospect of its accomplishment. The
Cologne Gazette, which now confirms
the story, is journal of so much accu-
racy of information that we are apt to be-
ieve in it. We can think of no event of
national character that would be more
interesting or more important in its con
sequences than a visit of the Grown
Prince of Germany to the United States.
America and Germany are closely allied
in many ways-by traditional friendship,
By similarity in race, and by the fact
that a large and respected element of
our people come directly from German
stock. The Grown Prince would find in
America millions of his countrymen who
speak his language, who are proud of
the achievements of himself and his an
cestors. They would welcome him with
I'll 80 enthusiasm and Joy with which
every patriotic heart welcomes repre-
sentative of its fatherland. Those of US
who are not German, not only viii be
glad to do honor to an illustrious Prince
but to show our respect for our German
citizens by due tribute to chief
of their race. More than all, as nation
we should be glad to remember that
friendship for this Republic, which be-
gan with Fredrick the Great, and which
was signally shown in many ways by the
present William.

WHEN Judge Hewett was on the
bench in the Western District of the
State of New York, and Colonel Billings
was trying a case before his honor, the
Judge overruled SO many 0f the lawyers
exceptions that Billings got out of patti
ence, and spoke SO severely that the
Judge at last demanded, in a voice of
thunder
"What does the counsel suppose I
am here for 2"
Colonel Billings looked sadly discon-
certed, scratched his heal, thought a
moment, and at last, with bland smile
on his face, replied
confess your honor has got me now. .

DISPATCHES IN THE AIR.-An ocean
homing-bird, of great docility, inteli-
gence and spirit, has been found lin Ice
land, which flies at speed of $50 miles
an hour, and is able to find it's home
over sea and land from any part of the
inhabitable world. A pair of these
birds, a few days ago, brought dis
patches from Paris to lonely spot in
wild and rocky part of Kent, within ten
miles of London, in one and a half
hours. Press carrier pigeons took the
dispatches on to the city, the whole dis
tance from Paris to London by actual
parcel mode of conveyance being done
within one and half hours. If the ex-
pvriInents at present being -ade in
training and educating them continue
successful, it is hoped by next summer
to establish daily miniature ocean
mail between America and Europe, the
whole distance to be traversed between
sunrise in one hemisphere and sunset in
the other.--Loaadon Lire Stock Journal.
