the mode in which she will be wooed, and
her probable destiny as wife. A short no.

THE TEMPERANCE sxouagroN.

The Temperance Pic Mic Excursion to
Williamston on last Saturday wes q very
great success. Three coaches were filed
with the excursionists from Anderson. and
quite number of persons were present who
wentfro the surrounding country by pri-
yate conveyance. The Mineral Spring,
with its beautiful park, afforded most
pleasant location for enjoying a pic mic
frolic, and all present, old and young, ladies
and gentlemen, seemed 70 find pleasure In
the occasion. Ir the morning, excellent
addresses were delivered by Rev. s. Lander,
DR.. II. I. Epting and Col. =. nj. Rucker
upon the subject of Temperance after which
basket dinner was general, .partaken of
by oil resent. The Anderson Cornet Band
attended, and made splendid music for the
day, thereby. adding much to the pleasure
Of all who were present. We learn that
Anderson Division, under whose auspices
the excursion train ran, realized enough
from the sale of tickets to clear expenses.
and therefore We can pronounce the affair,
both socially and financially, complete

GRAPE BRANDY.

The Californians are feeling very happy
over the fact that distillers of grape
brandy are allowed, under bill recently
passed by congress, to place their pro-
duct in a bonded warehouse, where it
can remain three years without the pay
ment of the federal tax. The domestic
manufacturer now has the same privi-
leges that have long been enjoyed by the
foreign producer. The wine-producing
and grape-growing interests of the state
have, during the past year or two,
reached point of great depression. The
last vintage was the heaviest in the his
tory of the state, and, coming with Gel
lars already full, the vine growers were
met by expenses for casks that many OF
them could i'll afford. The passage ofthe
brandy bill removes the incubus from
the whole business, and all expect it will
greatly stimulate the production OF
brandy, and create an increased demand
for grapes. The last vintage has been
yariouslv estimated at from 1000, 900 to
10, 1000, 600 gallons. Certain 1t Is that
the production of wine in California has
reached quantity about equal to the
entire amount of foreign consumed in
the United States, and any great increase
in shipments to the eastern states must
be at the expense of domestic production
in those tes or foreign importation.
1t appears: therefore, that the main reli-
ance of tbk California grape grower, as
the crop .reases, must be upon brandy
making. -,randy has the advantage
over wine hat, owing to its compare
lively high price, it can bear the cost OF
transportation to distant market, which
is an important consideration in Califor-
MIA, and that the grape product of large
areas requires, in this concentrated form,
but small expenditure for casks to con-
tain it.

VITALITF md CUNNING or THE
LOCUST.

In 1865 | made experiments TO see
how soon iocusts would drown. After
confning them in water twelve hours
they soon showed signs of life when
placed in the sunshine, and in few
minutes began to move. | tried freezing
and came to the conclusion that they
could be frozen up any length of time,
and the warm sunshine would revive
them. In 1S47 l tried animal poisons TO
see what effect they would produce on
locusts. | put the poison on celery,
which the locusts prefer to other vege-
tables, and after observing the effect
formed the opinion that they could eat
their weight of any animal poison with
out iIl-effect to them. As soon as they
hatched out and began eating in April,
1875, | took a can of coal oil and a pan
for the purpose of making fagot to burn
some that had just began TO eat my
wheat, coming from a sandy knoll in the
field. poured the oil in the pan, and
in moving about the pan / caused two or
three to leap into it. i perceived that
they changed color instantly, and to all
appearance were dead. ] then forced
them in and observed the same results.
On placing them in the sunshine it failed
to bring them to lie again. l Iafterward
tried coal tar with the same happy re-
suit. Turpentine, alcohol, alkali and
croton oil will kill them, and from the
results OF my experiments l believe that
anything that will kill vegetable life will
destroy locust life under the same con-
ditions.
] know no insect that exhibits the cum
ming of locusts after they are four weeks
old When very young they appear to
have no sense, as they will leap into
water or fire if in their course. After
four vneks old they will perform acts of
cunning that are incredible to the unob-
serving. In 1875, after they ate my
neighbor's crop on the east, they set out
for my field. / turned water between
his and my gold, and caused it to flow
four or five feet wide in places, and let
it flow through the wheat ten or fifteen
feet wide in places. | soon found them
crossing by thousands, swinging from
blade to blade Of the wheat that stood in
the running water. l then cut the wheat
out, but at the juncture of ditch 1 had
left two fence poles in the form of letter
V, the lower ends crossing near the water
of the creek, and the upper ends on
either side of the ditch. They soor
found passage, and would and did climt
down pole fifteen feet long over the
water of Bear creek, and up the othel
pole into my field. They were making
the passage in one continuous stream
when / made the discovery, and tn,
ground and wheat were covered near th'
passage by those that had crossed
1fii;cdulee Nelcs.

THE GERM4E Loss.

The official statistics as to the number
of killed and wounded in the German
army during the war with France have
Just been published at Berlin. The num-
Der of officers killed and wounded was
1919, and of soldiers. 6O,s7S. The num-
her or officers and soldiers who were
either killed or died of their wounds was
1874 and 1897 respectively. The pro-
portion of the killed to the wounded was
one in 3.44 for the officers, and one in
five for the men. As matter of course,
the great majority of the killed and
wounded belonged to the infantry which
lost 7,943, as compared to 1886 in the
calvary and ,266 in the artillery Only
5,084 were killed or wounded by artillery
fire, as against SO, ,762 by musketry fire :;
and, though artillery had never been so
much employed as in the Franco Ger
man war, twenty-one losses out of every
twenty-three on the German side were
due to the infantry fire. These figures
are interesting, for they seem to confirm
the theory that the effect of artillery fire
upon the battlefield is moral rather than
material-that it frightens more soldiers
than it kills. Some instructive statistics
are also given as to the seat of the wounds
inflicted. Thus, it appears that, out Of
64,S97 men of ali ranks killed or wound
ed, 12,7I7 were hit either upon the head
or the neck, and this shows that the
French troops must have fired very high
In the Crimean war, upon the contrary,
the highest percentage of wounds were
in the lower part of the body-a fact
which is all the more remarkable as
large number of the men killed or
wounded were serving in the trenches.

HOW FILD HORSES IRE CAPTURED
IN COLORADO.

The Denver Tribune says: The Trib-
une last week published short notice
of the capture ofwild horses in northern
Colorado. The Larimer county Express
has a longer notice, and as the article is
an interesting one we re-publish the
facts Sheriff Coon, ". F. Scribner, w.
p. Morgan, Thomas Earnest, and Steve
and Charlie George were the parties
interested, and they were out last week.
They went some twenty-five miles north
east of Fort Collins, and a few miles
east of Pierce Station, on the Denver
Pacific railroad. Here they made their
campaign. Within two miles of camp
they never failed to find band of wild
horses. Many long chase they had Out
they finally succeeded in capturing ten
head. Two of these, however, have the
brand of Mr.. McClelland, of Greeley.
A great many animals were seen.
Some of them were very valuable ones,
and were fleet of foot. Three head at
tracted the attention and challenged the
admiration of the entire party. One was
a black mare, large, well-proportiOned,
and beautiful, and they run her over
forty miles but couldn't catch her.
With this fine mare was colt which
seemed to be a full-bloodcd Norman.
These two are certainly valuable stock
if they could be captured. The other
horse was dark stallion that would not
weigh much over three hundred pounds.
uis name reaches down to his knees, and
his foretOp to his nostrils, and resembles
a Shetland pony. He is said to be
beauty. One wild band was seer which
seemed to be composed entirely Of large
American stock, and undoubtedly con-
tanned many valuable animals.
These horses are as wild as an ante
lope, and the strategy they used TO get
near the latter has to be employed with
the .rmer The hunter must conceal
himself behind the horses until he gets
as near the herd as possible, when
quickly mounting, he must dash into the
herd like lightning, cutting it in two,
and starting portion of it in direction
of camp. No time now must be lost or
the wild animals will all escape. His
companions, however, will assist in the
mad ride back to camp. which is an at
tempt to drive the game into corral
If successful, then the work of ro~ing
the animals is commenced, and a right
lively little job it generally proves to be-
The widest of the horses were tied to
the weakest, ard thus all were driven to
town without much trouble. The same
parties have in contemplation another
hunt ere long.

marks of the sanguine, melancholic tenn
