Fun ON THE FARM.-We have often
heard the remark GLOW dull farming
must be-" or "who would live in the
country, where there are no opportuni-
ties for fun ?" Well, if you want to
know what genuine fun is, just pitch in
and help break pair of three year old
steers. First you catch steer and tie
him by the head to post in the yard.
Then you catch the other one and tie
him around the horns. Then your dad
gets the yoke, and between you two and
the hired man hold the critter. Just as
you slip the knot, away go the steers with
a bawl and bellow-or rather pair of
bellows-and then arise before your Wis.,
ion a confused mixture of horns,
heels, ropes, dad, hired man and curses
of stupidity that reminds you of the pic.
ture of volcanic eruption in the old
biographies. And that's only the be-
ginning of the fun. By and by dad gets
hold of one rope and the hired man the
other, and run races down the lane-the
steers "ueck and neck" the old man per-
forming the curse on the serpent. Then
there is the time in haying, when dad
undertakes to show you how to NOW over
q bumblebee's nest. He amt afraid of
these bees, nor needn't be-just go right
along-they never sting unless you fight
'em; and then, "Whish /" git out O. the
way! and he departs for the house and
hartshorn on dead run, at the business
end of dozen yellow legged bumblebees.
Oh no, there isn't any fun on farm.

GEN. TwIGG's SwoRD.-A Washing
ton dispatch states that o lady living in
England has made application for three
valuable swords formerly the property of
Gen. David E. Twiggs, of this State, but
which were stolen by Beast Butler when
the latter captured New Orleans. These
swords were sent by Butler to Presi-
dent Lincoln and deposited by his sue
cessor, President Johnson, in the vaults
of the Treasury Department. for safe
keeping. They are valued at $50, 600.
One of them was presented to Gen.
Twiggs by Congress for bravery during
the Mexican war. The scabbard is of
pure gold, and the sword hilt is of solid
gold, brilliantly set with diamonds. 1t
is said that when Gen. Twiggs' left New
Orleans, at the approach of the Union
troops, he left these swords behind, but
sent letter to young lady friend, say
ing that he had decided to give them to
her, and asking her to obtain them

The committee on the Grand Scribe's

was adopted:

nate Divisions are not prompt in sending
in their quarterly returns to the Grand
Scribe. The Importance of promptly
rendering these returns and the payment
of the per capita tax cannot be too prom
inently brought before subordinate Di-
visions, nor too strongly urged upon their
consideration. The prompt performance
of this duty will give new life and vigor
to the cause in South Carolina, and con-
tinue our pleasant and fraternal relations

present indebted to the National Divis-
ION be allowed until first JAM, 1880, to
settle such Indebtedness.
Resolued, That the Most Worthy Scribe

AMENDMENTS.
There were two amendments TO to the
Constitution Of the National Division,
as follows:
PART II. Add to section the words
"by ballot" This will require Grand
Divisions to elect their representatives to
the National Division by ballot. y,
PART x. Section Sd amended so as to
read,
SEC. 8. No Grand Division shall re-
ceiye the password, or be allowed to have

DECISIONS.

A Bad Case of Usury.

The Virginia City New Enterprise
Gays: ave were yesterday told the par
tiCulars of case OF young man who IS
being eaten up by interest at about rs
lively rate as thought he were being
devoured by devil-fsh. His case IS =
remainder of the celebrated horseshoe
nail problem. II appears that IN 1876
the young man, not then OF age, was the
keeper OF restaurant in this city. On
one occasion he required some money, and
a lawyer boarding with him loaned him
$50, the young man saying that as in
terest on the sum, he would not charge
the LAWYER for his board until he paid
him back his money. The lawyer said
this was all right, and next day brought
the boy q note, to be signed by him, IN
which interest on the $50 was charged at
the rate of $40 per day, the lawyer
saving that this was about the value OF
what he was eating each day. The boy
strongly objected to signing the note,
but was finally induced TO put his name
to the paper. The lawyer went on eat
ing-the boy not finding it in his power
to keep going and pay the $5O-till the
restaurant busted out. Finally the
young man, who had gone to work in
some restaurant in town, was sued on
the note by the lawyer who obtained
Judgment with interest at tho rate OF
$40 per day. The young mans wages,
amounting to $ll5, were attached and
gobbled, yet the note was far from being
paid. Now the lawyer is going after his
victim again, and the principle snd in
terest Yesterday amounted to just $725.5O

MORRIssEY's MONEY.
Not Insolvent, but Made Provision
for His Wife.

N. Y. Correspondence Detroit Free Press.
The report that John Morrissey was
practically insolvent at the time of his
death is both denied and corroborsted.
Those who ought to be best Informed IS
to the facts say that the report Is sub
slsntisly true. Enough may be realized
from the estate, they say, TO pay oil oil
claims, but when that Is done there will
be little or nothing left. Morrissey did
not really know how he stood for some
time before his death. His affairs had
been managed to very large extent by
others, ana, though their fidelity is not
questioned by any one, 1t is clear that
there is leak somewhere. Besides,
Morrissey did not have much money at
any time since 1873. The great panic OF
that year hurt him severely, and be
never recovered from its effect Pre-
vious to that time he had mOrtgaged his
Twenty-fOurth street "club house" for
$4,000, and used the money elsewhere.
When the panic came he needed more
money, and he sold his remaining inter-
est in the club house for $4,000. Alter
that he got pretty deep IN local politics,
and of course there was constant outgo
of cash. HIS interest in the club house at
Saratoga, and also in the race course
there, gradually diminished, till, at the
time OF his death, it WAS only three
eighths Of the whole supposed value.
TIE same partners he had in Twenty
fourth street became his partners at Sara
togs, and the greater part Of the business
passed into their hands. There was
nothing unfair about their transactions,
but it Just happened in the ordinary
course OF affairs that their interest in
creased, while Morrissey's fell off. The
exact amount of his debts is rot known,
but 1t is believed that when the estate is
settled up there will not be much left for
tho persons named in his will as legatees.
His widow, however, is said to be safe.
| am told that he provided moderately
for her several years ego, and SO arranged
the matter that she need have, nothing
to fear, even ii the estate is all swallo we'd
up by claims. She Was good and true
wife, and Morrissey did well in securing
her against want.
