With students in our college TO say 'Not

difficult and not we'll memorized passage.
On hot summer afternoon, in the year
-, the class was sleepily stumbling
through the introduction to Buffers
Analogy. The reverend doctor was quite
as familiar 1ith the subject matter as
with the numbers of chapters and Sec
tions, and he had way of his own in
calling for a recitation which sounded
quite as much like a call to judgment
as call to recite. The lesson was
going badly, and the doctor nesting in
his chair, called out, "Mr. T., you
may pass on to the Future Life" Mr..
T was too much of wag to let the
opportunity slip, and promptly responded,
''not prepared" The reader can easily
imagine the effect on the irsibles of the

CoTToN SEED.-Farmers in Europe
and in the Northern States of this coun-
try keep and feed it five or six months of
the year, and in some instances all the
year, and find it necessity and profta-
BILE to supply manure for the farm.
Many purchase artificial fertilizers at
from $40 to $50 per ton. Yet the farm
ers of the South, with few exceptions,
sell their cotton seed, or allow it to be
sold, for $40 or $11 per ton, and this seed
is equal in value to any of the artificial
fertilizers sold. The oil companies regin
the seed, by which they make considers
bic lint, run their engines with the hulls
and sell the ashes, extract the oil and
soap-grease and then invite the farmers
to purchase the meal at $25 per ton.

REDUCTION in PRICE.
$3.50 PER YEAR.

In view of the fact that everything is
now much cheaper than it has been in
the past, we have decided to furnish our
subscribers with the INTELLIGENcER at
One Dollar and Fifty Gents year, if
paid in advance, or Two Dollars if paid
at the end Of the year.
In doing this We do not intend to reduce
the size of our paper, nor to pay less at
tention to it, but will endeayor to make
it better than it has been heretofore, and
hope to receive large additions to our
subscription list. We ought to have at
least twenty-five hundred readers in An.
derson County, and hope that our friends
will help us to secure that number very
soon. In making this change in price,
we have put the paper down to the lowest
possible margin, and must have the
money in advance. We could not afford
to publish at this price upon any other
plan. We hope all of our subscribers
will at once come in and pay UP their
arrearages and renew at our reduced rates
for another year. The following gentle
men are our authorized agents, and pay
ments made to them will be accredited
by us:
Psndlston-Dr. P. H. E. Sloan.

"A recent traveller has given an ac-
count of the manners and customs of the
Zaporas of Ecquador. The mode of court.
ship presents some suggestive features.
The enamored swain goes to the wood
and hunts game, and when he has pro
cured it presents it to the maiden of his
choice. This constitutes the proposal if
she accepts, she cooks the meat. Hence,
before entering upon the bonds of matri-
mony, the Zapora suitor has the advan-
tage of our civilized wooers of being
assured as to the lady's capacity for pre-
pairing asquare meal. On the other hand,
the Zaporiness is favored with foreknowl-
edge as to her spouse's ability to keep the
larder supplied.

What Daniel Webster Thought Of Clay,
Calhoun and Others.

Mr.. Webster professed to have liked
Mr.. Jefferson better upon making his
personal acquaintance. His great SIM
plicity he found impressive. The author
Of the declaration had an. intense dislike
for the forms and trappings of govern
ment, and when he became President he
discarded many Of the pomps which
Washington had considered as fitting the
dignity of the Office. Mr.. Webster
thought it fortunate that Mr.. Jefferson's
ideas prevailed. 0fMr. Clay, Mr.. Web
ster said frankly that he did not like
him. The Kentrckian had "a great deal
of native talent and a little smattering of
law-less than that possessed BY mere
Office boys in some large Offices" He
added:,
"In the course of my professional life
it has happened many timesthat i found
myself retained in the same cause with
MI. Clay. He was my senior by several
years in the profession and in age. That
fact gave him the right to speak first in
all such cases. Often, before beginning
my argument, I have had to labor hard
to do away with the effect and impression
of his. Some of the most laborious acts
of my professional life have consisted in
getting matters back to the starting point
after Clay had spoken. The fact Is, he
was no lawyer. He was statesman,
politician, an orator, but no reasoner."
Mr.. Webster somewhat modified this
,opinion after Mr.. Clay's speech on the
compromise measures, and said: "He is
"a very great man; there is no mistake
about that. he is q wonderful man."
Mr.. Webster considered Mr.. Calhoun
"the greatest man he had met in the
Senate, or with whom he had come in
contact in public life" Of Mr.. Benton
he did not say much that was compli-
mentary, but his latest relations with.the
Missouri Senator were friendly, and he
once remarked to him: "You know
everything, Colonel, and where every!
thing i" Of Slas Wright, Mr.. Web
ster said: "He is the most over-rated
man that I have ever met. He is oracu-
lar, wise-looking, taciturn, and cunning
as fox. He was the most inferior man
in debate that sat in the Senate. You
have seen boys at school who would con-
triYe in some way to skip the hard spell
ing. He always skipped the hard places.
His arguments, besides being weak and
fallacious, were always evasive. He
would try to make the crowd think that
he had answered when he had not
touched the point. In my Judgment he
was q very small mana mere politician
and no statesman" Of Buchanan: "He
is good politician, but he is no states
man. He merely looks at things as they
affect the party" Of Rusk, of Texas:
".He is man of perfect integrity and of
a very high order ofability. like him
very much" OfNr. Pierce: "He is not
a great man in the proper acceptation of
the term; but he is not by any means
small man. He is well-informed, in.
telligsnt, ripe, talented man." Of Kos.
suth: "He is a true patriot, devoted
advocate of liberty and brilliant orator,
but too impulsi7e in his feelings, too
poetic in his temperament and too visions
ary in his proposed measures to be safe
leader. of reform or judicious states

a Human Body Petriaed-.A Curious
Story from North Carolina.

AsHEvILLE, N. G., December rs.
il is q fact not generally known, that
Z the Cemetery of the Methodist Church in
Hendersonyille, N. O., contains petri-
fed human body. About the year 1886,
Miss AdeliEe Byers lived with her father,
Francis G. .Byers, fifteen miles south OF
this place, in Henderson County. She
was q bright, sweet girl, much beloved by
allwho knew her, and her hand was sought
in marriage even before shewas of marri-
.ageble age. At last she was won by w.
r. Murray, whom she had known long
3 and well. Soon the nuptials were cele-
brated, and the hridesand bridegroom set
out In search of anew country, following
!. the setting sun to the Mississippi Valley.
There they located and began the jour

was solid stone. The whole body had

It TO North Carolina, and delivered it to

!! hardly doubt that his daughter had come
home to, him asleepl The news spread
that Adeline' body had been turned into
"a rock, p and great was the desire Of every
body to see it. Attempts were made, it is
said, to steal it out of the cellar where
the old gentleman had carefully conceal

through the war it was guarded by the
father as the most sacred trust, but few
