Browns Matrimonial Methods.

Brown, don't know how it is that
your girls all marry off as soon as they
get old enough, while none of mine can
marry"
- Oh, that's simple enough. 1 marry
my girls off on the buckwheat straw
principle"
. But what is that principles I never
heard of il before"
Well, used to raise good deal of
buckwheat, and it puzzled me to know
how to get rid of the straw. Nothing
would eat it, and it was a great bother
to me. At last thought of plan.
stacked my buckwheat straw nicely ana
built high rail-fence around it. My
cattle, of course, concluded that it Was
something good, and at once tore down
the fence and began to eat the straw.
dogged them away and put up the fence
few times, but the more drove them
away the more anxious they became to
eat the straw, and eat it they did, every
bit of it. AS said, I marry my girls
off on the same principle. When
yonng man that don't like begins call
ing OH my girls encourage him in every
way can. / tell him to come often and
stay as late as he pleases, and l take
pains to hint to the girls that / think
they'd better set their caps for him. 1t
works frst,rate. He don't make many
calls, for the girls treat him as coolly as
they can. But when young fellow
that like comes around, a man that l
think would suit me for a son-in-law, 1
don't let him make many calls before /
give him to understand that he isn't
wanted around my house. tell the
girls, too, that they shall not have any
thing to do with him, and give them
ORDERS never to speak to him again.
The plan always works first-rate. The
young folks begin to pitch into each
other, and the next thing / know they
are engaged to be married. When / see
that they are determined to marry, l
always give in and pretend to make the
best of it. That's the way manage it. F"

Vanderbilt'S Religion.

The Bible has long been the Commo.
dore's favorite book, and, during his last
attack, the religious side of his character
was more fully displayed than ever be-
fore. About August last he manifested
a desire to have hymns sung at his bed
side, and frequently called his fam
lily around him, requesting them to
join in singing religious songs. His
life, during the last eight months imme-
diately preceding his death, was exceed
ingy quiet and peaceful. All his vast
interests in the several railroads, in the
affairs Of which he had been the ruling
spirit for so many years, were disposed
of to his satisfaction, and, as he repeat
edly said that he was prepared to die,
there were no disturbing influences sur
rounding him.-NeW York Tribune.

MAJ. MCFARLAND, the engineer en-
ployed by the Interoceanic Canal Com
mission to report on route uniting the
Atlantic and the Pacific, says that the
Nicaragua way is the most feasible. The
distance would be sixty-one miles; there
is no natural harbor at either end. and
the cost would be about $40, 900, 900.
The difficulty would be greater than in
making the Suez canal. The Darien
route would be much shorter, out would
Involve tunneling.

Corn and Hogs in Illinois.

The Secretary of the Board of Agri-
culture of the State OF Illinois estimated
the yield of corn in the State for 1876 at
20S, liz, $40 bushels, against an average
yield of 339, COS, 973 bushels. The num-
Der of hogs reported in the State on May
/, 1876, was 1865, 935, against 2, 500, 969
at the corresponding time in 1875, and
3, 452, 2l3 at the same time in 1874. The
decrease in the crop in two years is

etentious Pests OF the Period.

Our expenditures must be made more
productive; the dignity of labor must
have more recognition, and the gentility
of various counterfeits of work rather
less. The country yields enough for all,
and we must learn to make all cara their
share of its abundant wealth. The able
bodied tramp who lives on the earnings
of honest toll is no more of social pest
than some more pretentious members of
society, who live by various ingenious
devices for levying toll on capital and
labor. A good many such have found
their natural level of late, in our pro-
gress toward sound business methods :
many more gamblers, spectators, and
superfuous middlemen must fall by the
way. -NeaO York Times.

yanderbilps Secret of Success.

Mr.. Vanderbilt was asked one day
what was the secret Of his success in
business. "Secret2 There is no Sc.
cret about il. All you have to do is to
attend to your business and go ahead"
AT another time he said "The secret
of my success is this never tell what
/ am going to do till have done il. i"
This was nearer the mark. He kept his
own counsel and never betrayed his best
friend-himself

In the Senate on the 22nd, during the morn.

sending committees of the Senate away from
the city to take testimony. Mr.. Morton spoke
on the joint committees report for an hour,

tanned that the President of the Senate has
the power to count the Electoral vote; that
Hayes is elected, and that the bill yields to
the Democrats. Mr.. Frelinghuysen followed,
arguing the constitutionality of the bill. Mr..
Cameron, Of Pennsylvania, opposed the bill as
a Democratic measure. Mr.. Edmunds said
he would press the bill to vote tomorrow
evening, for the Senate would have to give
one night to the counting. In the House q
message was received from the President in
response to the resolution calling for copies Of
orders given for the use of troops in Virginia,
South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida dur
ing the election. Copies Of orders were trans.
mitted with the message. The President de.
tends his action as being simply in the perfor-
nance of his duty under the constitution and
laws, and says that if he had have had more
troops at his disposal, he would have stationed
them so as to prevent the violation of the
election laws in these States, and also in Ala

of New York, moved to refer the message to q

NOTES FROM BLACKS STATION.
BLACKS STATION, S. c.. Jan. %.

The snow which has covered the ground in
this section for several days has disappeared,
revealing to sight the face of mother earth.
The wheat crops, which are always supposed
to be improved by snow, are looking fine and
giving fair promise Of good yield. Oflate the
farmers seem to pay more attention to this
crop than they formerly did. By judicious
culture they can easily produce splendid crops
in this locality.
Our town continues to improve. There
have been two new residences erected recently,
and others are in process of erection. There
are also two church ediices going up, which
will add greatly to the place.
The Aourishing school, under the supcrvis.
ion of Rev. j. E. Watson has suspended, but
will be resumed again at an early day, by
another good teacher-Mr. Watson having
been sent to another field by the N. E.; Con.
ference. We feel confident that our academy
will become fixed institution.
The people in this part Of the State en-
phatically assert that they will not recognize
Chamberlain as the Governor of South Caro-
lima, but unhesitatingly denounce him as q
usurper and destroyer fthe peace and quie-
tude of the country and of equity in the ad'
ministration of the government. They are
shocked to think he has the audacity to try
to enforce the laws on such an illegal basis.
He considered like the notorious Seth sothcl,
who came from England to South Carolina in
1890. He trampled upon every principle OF
common Justice. Planters we're forcibly com.
PEELED to pay large sums Of money for per-
mission to retain possession Of their property,

rapacious and avaricious tyrant could think
of to get money was resorted to by him. Now,

I've the character of Chamberlain, and there
will be found mass of corruption from which
this stagnating and obnoxious political miss-
ma has been rising.
The people recognize Wade Hampton as
Governor Of South Carolina, and will joyfully
respond to any requisition be may make, and
will use every influence to sustain the grand
and noble.hearted gentleman and his govern
ment. They will pay, with the greatest alac'
rity, the ten per cent contribution asked for
by the Constitutional House. W. 81.
