be brown all through, and every bean

ADVICE ABOUT PICKLING.-Do moi
keep pickles in common earthen ware,
as the glazing contains lead and com
bines with the vinegar. Vinegar fol
picking should be sharp, though moi
the sharpest kind, as it Injuries the
pickles. If you use copper, bell-meta
or brass vessels for pickles, never allow
the vinegar to cool in them, as it IL
then poisonous. Add a teaspoonful o.
alum and a teacup of salt to each 3 gal
Ions of vinegar, and tie up q bag will
pepper, ginger root and spices of al
the various sorts in it, and you hav'
vinegar prepared for any kind of pick
ling. Keep pickles only in wood o.
stone ware. Any thing that has helt
grease will spoil pickles. Stir pickles
occasionally, and if there are soft one
take out and scald the vinegar and pou,
it hot over them. Keep enough vinega
to cover them well. If it is weak tax
fresh vinegar and pour on hot. ID,
not boil vinegar or spice above five min
utes.

erect, He evidently thought more about
his hirsute decorations than all the other
prisoners combined, and while the
shears were toying with it he sat as un-
easily as IL the bench we're the cover of
a red-hot stove. The v~illainous look
which he cast at the barber when he
was allowed to stand up and examine
the locks he had cherished for over forty
years was more hatefully eloquent than

were then marched back to their cells
with their hats, two sizes too large for
their shorn pates, pressed down des-
pairingly over their sullen brows. To
balance matters, a couple of white
prisoners were then led out to be bar
berized.

Story of q Book Agent.

A book agent recently met with a se~
rious accident in the suburbs Of La
Crosse. He was walking along the
railroad when o freight train came
along. The unfortunate man was
struck by the engine and knocked dis
rectly across the track, some ffty-three
cars passing wei him. He was then
tumbled down a bank eight hundred
feet high, over stones and stumps, and
just as he got to the edge of the river
he struck q pile driver that was at work,
and, his head lying on the top of the
pile for a minute or two, the ponderous
hammer descended, striking him on the
cheek, bruising him somewhat. The
shock rolled him into the river just as
an up-riyer packet was passing. and by
some mishap the unfortunate man was
entangled in one of the wheels, and
whirled round and round for an hour
and a half before he was discovered and
released. He was picked up nearly
senseless and removed to the cabin,
where his wants were supplied. After
he had eaten a hearty meal. he was ap-
preached by the captain, who asked:
"Is there anything you would like to
ono, no." replied the ~canvasser,
sthere is nothing but this
s.What! what!' calculated the cap
tain; "what is it?"
The book agent smiled sweetly as he
produced a subscription list, and said:

He Didn't Like TO Tell Before Folks.

A horney-handed phrcnologist in a
West End grocery of Madison, Wis,
the other evening placed his hand ON a
friends head and said:
"Bill do you want to know your ca

"Yes, if I've got any," was the reply.

At this point the phrenolopist looked
puzzled, and looked up to the ceiling
refectively and gravely.
"Out with i'll am prepared to heal
the worst" said Bill.
But the phrenologist said he would
have to tell him privately, and took him
out and up the street till near a saloon
door, when he paused and whispered in
Bills ear:

erful intellect, and orto be in Congress
instead of using a hammer"
Bill dragged his friend into the sa'
loon and called for ''the best in the
house." They drank, and Bill asked;

HISTORICAL SKETCHES
OF THE
Early Settlement of South Carolina.
BY Rev. ROBERT LATHAM.


THE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON.
The discontinue of General Ashe at Brier
Creek, exposed South Carolina to the British,
both by land and sea. As already stated, it
was the intention of the foe to lead bis armies
from the South to the North, and thus crush
the rebellion. The reputation and influence
of General Howe was demolished by his de-
feat at Savannah, and General Ashe quit the
service after his surprise at Brier Creek. By
the want of generalship in these two COM
manders, the country was placed in perilous
circumstances. By the surprise Of Ashe, the
army was reduced more than fifteen hundred
men. Only few of these, comparatively,
were killed or wounded but those not killed
or wounded fled to their homes. The militia
of the country was terribly demoralized.
General Provost showed very great skill in
his management of the whole affair, and had
be followed up his victory he might have lit
orally ruined the country. General Benjamin
Lincoln, of bingham, Massachusetts, was in
command of the Southern army. He was a
man of great moral worth and considerable
military reputation, but with little military
talent. He had been appointed commander
of the South in September, 177S, and arrived
in South Carolina in December. His head.
quarters were at first at Purysburg. The
cherished object of bis heart was to rescue
Georgia from the hands of the enemy. For
this purpose he sent Ashe over the Savannah
river and down its western bank as far as
Brier Greek. Notwithstanding the reverses
with which his army had met, General Lin
coin still contemplated driving the British
from Georgia. ..... .. ..s
In view of the peculiar circumstances of the
State ofSouth Carolina, John Rutledge was
again chosen Governor. To him and bis
council we're granted extraordinary powers.
It became evident that vigorous effort must
be put forth, or the State would soon be in
the hands of the enemy. The General As
sembly enacted more stringent laws concern
ing the discipline of the militia. ..
A knowledge of the position Of the troops
Of both armies is necessary, in order that we
may understand the critical condition Of
things in the State. About the time that Sa-
vannah fell into the hands of the British, Ma.
jor Gardiner was sent to Port Royal Island.
This point was about sixty miles from Charles
ton. This movement indicated very clearly
