Six" DR.. Calhoun is one of the best
posted men in South Carolina, and
doubtless his views upon any subject
pertaining to the history of upper Caro-
lima are very authentic:
GREENWOOD, s. O., June Il, 1878.
Mr.. EDITOR: I am astonished at the
grave mistake in the article headed,
HSiege of Ninety Six" published in your
last Issue. / read in the first paragraph,
"a short time prior to the Revolutionary
War, the name Cambridge had been ex-
changed for Ninety Six" in the same
paragraph I read, "From this circum-
stance, says one tradition, the name
Cambridge was exchanged for that of
Ninety Six" The very reverse is true,
and all history testifes that original
Ninety Six was exchanged for Cam
bridge. There would have been no ap-
propriateness, at its origin, in calling the
place Cambridge, but there arose after
wards plausible reason.
Let me digress right here to give the
origin of the name Cambridge. There
is in Old England river named Cam.
In process of time it was spanned by q
bridge, which was called Cam Bridge,
and when the city afterwards sprang up
at that point it took the same name.
Late in the last, or early in this, century
a wealthy gentleman of the low country
donated to three places handsome sum
of money to aid in building up colleges
One of the three was Ninety Six. At
that time there was an Educational AS
sociation in that place, composed Of
many of the most distinguished men in
upper Carolina. The donation fell into
its hands, and ii went Immediately to
carry out the object of the donor. Tenn
porary buildings were erected, and a
high classical school, the embryo college,
started. Flushed with the idea that it
was to become great seat Of learning
and deserved a more classical name than
Ninety Six, an exchange of name was
made to Cambridge, after the great seat
of universities in England. A variety Of
causes combined worked against and
finally broke down the enterprise. The
last dollar of the endowment was spent
paying the teachers salary in 1926.
I learned years ago, from reliable ira
ditional sources, that original Old Ninety
Six was east of the spring branch, and
on the road leading from Willow Ford
towards Saluda river. Several houses,
relics of the old town, stood there as late
as 1880. When the college building was
erected on the opposite hill it became
the centre of attraction, and all new
comers built and settled there.

A POWERFUL VoIcE.--Just before
the thunder storm on Saturday evening
last, Whitehall man stepped into the
telegraph Office at this place, and request
ed the privilege of talking through the
telephone with his wife, who was visiting
friends at Troy. Mr.. John W. Eddy, the
gentlemanly assistant manager, granted
the request, and the Whitehall man be-
gan operations. He couldn't be prevailed
upon to believe that it was really his
wife who was talking to him and she 80
many miles away. He finally asked her
to say or do something known to them.
selves only, that he might be convinced
that it was her. Just then rambling
streak of lightning came in on the wires,
keeling the husband over on his head,
when he jumped to his feet and ex-
claimed.
"That's the ole woman sartin'-only
she's erode a l-e-e-etle more powerful
since she left hum Whitehall Times.

BLACKBERRY W1NE.-Choose a dry
day for collecting the fruit, set in an
open vessel-one of those having tap
fitted to the side of it rather near the
bottom-and pour over the fruit sufi-
cient boiling water to cover it. Next let
the blackberries be bruised thoroughly,
cover the vessel, and lei it stand three or
four days, when it will be found that the
pulp has formed into crust on the top.
The fluid must then be drawn off into
another vessel, and one pound of sugar
added to each gallon, we'll mixed in, after
which the whole is ready te be put into
cask to work for week or ten days,
during which time the cask should be
kept well.flled, more especially at first.
When the working has ceased, let the
wine be bunged down at the end of six
months it may be bottled, and if kept
for four or FIVE years the wine will be
excellent.

PRUNING ToMAToEs.-Many persons
find much profit in pinching back the
branches of the tomatoes; and it is a
good practice when judiciously done. 1t
may be overdone, however, and injury
result. In the first place it is no use to
attempt it after the flowers have fallen.
The idea is to force the nourishment into
the fruit at the earliest start; for it is at
that time that the future fate Of the fruit
is cast. A few leaves beyond the fruit is
an advantage. 1t is only the growth that
is to be checked. And then much dam
age is done by taking off the leaves as
we'll as the fruit. The tomato plant needs
all the leaves it can get. 1t is only the
branches that are to be checked in their
growth.

AN UNFORTUNATE EXPERIMENT.

AN UNFORTUNATE EXPERIMENTAL
New Jersey man, of inventive turn of
mind, undertook to accomplish the bibli-
cal feat of walking on the water. Eo
had made two immense India rubber
shoes, inflated with air. Then he went
down to the river, buckled on his air
shoes, and succeeded in walking fifty
yards, and was making bravely for the
opposite shore, when he was struck by a
stiff breeze and lost his balance. His
head went down and his feet remained
above water, and fifteen minutes later a
couple of gunners, sighting the huge
shoes mistook them for a couple of am
phibious monsters, ard riddled them
with buckshot. This released the air,
and the man disappeared. He was found
two weeks afterward, but he was as dead
as the late Julius Cesar, Esq.

situation was perilous.l His only hope
was in receiving succor from Rawdon.
With this officer he was, however, wholly
unable to communicate. When Kos
ciusko had completed his second paral-
lels, Gen. Greene, directed Col. Otho
Holland Williams, adjutant general, to
summon COL. Cruger to surrender. Cru

tant, that he was determined to hold
the place to the last extremity, and that
he held in perfect disregard both the
threats and promises of the American
general.

THE LEEDS MINE.
AGanas Showing Maae.

The regular annual meeting OF the Leeds
Minimizing Company was held recently at
the company's Office in San Francisco. Tho
meeting was largely attended, and the
stockholders present expressed themselves
more than satisfied with the result Of the
years operations. Out Of the so. 900 shares
in the company, 1880 shares were repre-
scented. After the usual preliminaries the
Secretary was directed to cast the vote Of
the whole 50,690 shares for the following
directors to serve the ensuing year L. l..
Robinson, Alexander Forces, W. +. Dewey,
Thomas Bell and Louis Janin. From the
SecTetary's report we cull some interesting
figures. The report embraces the period
from November 1, 1876, to May l. 1878.
The whole receipts Of the mine during that
time were Sal 600 from the sale Of stock as
a working capital, and $410, 189 20 in bull
li0i. The principal disbursements during
thu same period have been for mine la
boz, S91 900 mill labor, 43, 900 mill sup
plies, S5S, 200; bullion discount and
freight, S52, zee, and $40, 276. for the pur-
chase Of valuable mining claims adjoining,
from which ore is now being taken. The
company has distributed $60,0 900 in divi-
dends, mi carry over a cash balance of
about $4,000. They own three valuable
claims, a good ten-stamp mill and are free
from debt. At the present market rate the
stock Is selling at about $84, 200 for the
whole property-just about one-.hird its
value.

The question Of the proper observance OF
Sunday has been a much disputed one and
ia one Of much interest. A certain amount
Of religious service should Of course form
a part Of each Sundays life should in
deed be its central idea, but it should not
infringe upon the demands of oyerworked
nature for rest. But what is rest? Clear
IL what would be rest TO one would not be
to another. What would increase vitality
and strength to the day laborer would
mako tho weary student, bookkeeper or
editor more weary. The work Of six week
days, whatever it is, should be put entirely
out Of sight on Sunday, until Monday.
Mental labor-reading, writing or other
employment that requires mental effort.
Physical laborers must cease physical la
Dor, and can obtain the desired rest in
mental improvement. Those whose week
days are spent within the four walls Of a
store or an Office, should be in the open
air, in the broad fields, where they can
breathe natures purest erial draughts as
much as possible. Those who labor out
doors will find their greatest en-
joyment on Sunday in their homes. The
business mar and the banker should
cease all thought Of his business, take a
complete respite for all other thoughts Of
"shop,' and Sunday for all classes
should be made IS widely different from
the other days Of the week as possible. 1t
should DO made enjoyable for the chill
dren, that they may grow up with the love
for the day, instead Of an aversion for it,
as is too common even in the best Of Christ
ian families. The observance Of the day
in each household should be made a study,
that ii1s most profitable and rcst-giving en-
joyments to suit each case may be fcsli'd,
md then let the observance Of the day,
once settled, be lived up to as strictly as a
business transaction. The day should
have Its distinctive features; religious cul-
ture; freedom from toll for servant as we'll
as master; rest in its true sense and en-
joyment Of the higher order, which re-
lakes the nervous system, and is one Of ma
lures greatest restoratives, all have their
place and none Of them should be
neglected.
