Not Much an Astonisher.

Occasionally you will meet young
man who gets on the train somewhere
in Ohio, and when some follow pass
cnger asks him how far he is going, he
will say, "Omaha in the tone of q
brakeman calling station, and then
look up and down the car to observe
the amazement and awe OF the other
and you will notice that
he looks little disappointed because
they don't take off their hats and asl,
to shake hands with him and want
to know where hc comes from and all
about him. But by and by, when
he learns from casual remarks drop
ped now and then, that the man be
hind him is going to San Francisco
and the one in front Of him is going
to Japan, and the old fellow on the
othor side Of the aisle is just return
ing from st. Petersburg, the young star
drops his voioe to q dusky whisper,
shrinks down into his duster that
nobody can see him, and tells the
next man who asks him about it, that
lie is only going out here little
ways.

Work for the Legislature.

TOWNSVILLE, S. c., Dec. 4tb, 1879.
Editor Oramgebu,y Den,ocrat:
1t is the duty as well as the privi-
lege of citizens Of this county or any
other county, to say through the press
what laws and enactments they wish
their representative to make, while
at the Legislature. ] propose 10 say
my say, not only for myself but for
my neighbors for although speakers
and editors use the pr onoun, we, cor
respondents are only permitted to use
7.
Fret, as to the fence law or stock
law US the Governor calls it, L will
say in few words, large majority
of our people are in favor OF its i'm.
mediate enactment. There is no sub.
ject that has engaged the attention Of
The farmers in this county more earn
cstly than the passage Of law by the
Legislature TO relieve them of the tre-
mcndous burden OF making fences to
keep out stock /; and this season espe-
cially, has proven to them that it
don't pay TO keep up fences for the
poor, miserable, raw -boned, lank-sid-
ed, weather. beaten stock in the woods.
AS general thing, it takes six or
cight cows to produce milk enough to
supply an ordinary family and as 10
the hogs, when the cholera is done
with them there is precious few left,
and such jumping and destruction Of
crops it is fearful.
Second, AS to increasing taxes q.
the school districts for schools, We
are decidedly against it; in fact We
are against increasing taxes for any
purpose whatever.
Third, We hear so much about pay
ing back school claims and county
claims by an increase Of taxes or al-
ditional taxes. Now, Mr.. Editor,
there arc precious few people in favor
of any such law, except those who
hold such claims. I am in favor of
letting them die out; for we cannot
be held responsible for Radical ex-
travagance, and all who bought up
these claims knew what they were do
ing. Knew they were buying smutty
claims and therefore ought 10 suffer,
not those who have to pay the tax.
Fourth, Let the Legislature adjourn
at tho time fixed. The country don't
need many laws-wc are too poor for
so many laws. The fewer the better
for every body. Indeed, it is moot
ed question If it were not better for
the Legislature TO meet only every
two. or better still every three or
even four years, and let the people
have rest. CoCNTRYMAN.

Teachers Institute.

A meeting Of the Institute was
held in Sheridan's School room, on
Saturday, the 9Th instant. The at
tendance was small, which fant4 We
prefer to attribute to the inclemency
Of the morning, for we are not willing
to believe yet that the teachers and
friends Of education in this county,
are disposed to neglect a matter,
which if carried 10 O successful issue,
must result in much good to the edu-
cational interests Of our community.
After the usual business. the subject
Of "School Discipline" was discussed
by Messrs. Sheridan, Walsh, Dr.. e.
Cooke and others. Tie discussion
was animated, and we believe, profit
ablc. Prof. w. II. Lawrence deliver
ed an instructive address upon the
subject assigned him, viz: "Con-
ducting Rccitations." .-. Z"
Owing TO the lateness of tic hour,
further discussion was postponed,
and, on motion, the meeting adjourn
ed TO meet the second Saturday in
January, at II o'clock A. NJ. Our
teachers are earnestly invited to ut
tend that meeting, for we believe if
you attend, you will be convinced that
you arc TO be benefited. Remember
.be second Saturday in January.

he Moment Of Fear.

Bonaparte lost four aids.de camp

Egypt. One of them, Croisier, ap-
pearing to Napoleon to lack the prop

tacks of abuse and contempt. The
word coward escaped him: Croisier

such q sharp lookout was kept by the
garrison, that If An elbow or feather

Crolsier watched his opportunity and
jumped upon the platform. "Come
down, command you ]" cried Napo-
leon, in voice OF thunder; but i,

ty fell at his feet. Murat, the chival-
rous braver Of all danger, had also
his moment of fear, which lost him
the countcnance of his general, until
displeasure could no longer resist the
brilliancy Of his ACHIEVEMENTS. It was
at the siege of Alantua, in the IIalian
campaign, that Mnrat was ordered to
take charge of body of troops
that were making sortie from the
garrison. He hcsitated, and in his
confusion declared himself wounded !;

the general, and in every way dis

Stick to the Farm, BOYS.

AT n time when there are ten men
in waiting for every business oppol tu-
nifty that the cities afford, farmers,
boys who have comfortable homes and
fair CHARGES for the future, iii the
country, had much better stay where
they are, rather than swell the army
OF unemployed in the cheap boarding
houses Of the cities. 1t is true that
the cities would run 10 waste but for
the fresh blood and energy which SO
constantly co;Ge into them from the
country, but IL is also true that where
one man makes fortune, large num-
bers fail to get even foo,hold. In
very maUy respects, life in the country
is swccter, purcr, healthier, better,
and in every way more desirable lian
life in the town, Not withstanding
this is so universally admitted 10 he
true, the farmers boys who become
dissatisfied with the farm, perhaps,
because their work is not made SO
pleasant and profitable TO them as
it easily might be-will not readily
believe it, or if they Lelicvc it they
do not show their faith by their
worlss.-Ncw England Homestead.

A Girl Seasped by Machinery.

Willie Jennie Hall, fifteen years
old, was stopping over piece of Ma
.chinery in q photographic establish
ment in philadelphia, her long, dang
ling hair caught i'm a belt. and in a
SECOND she was completely sca!ped.
The sufferer, with the blood stream
ing over her face, screamed ip an ag
onizing voice that could be heard a
block away. The wounded girl who
was wild with pain was taken to q
hospital. Some Of her associates
became hysterical over the horrible
sight. An investigation was made
subsequently, when the cause of the
accident was ascertaincd. It appear
cd that the girl had imprudently
been amusing herself by permitting
lock Of her hair to wrap itself
around the small vertical shaft. She
repeated this twice, but ut third essay
the look became wrapped TOO tightly
around the improvised curling iron
to be eXtrieatcd and was torn from
the head, most Of the scalp going
with It and considerable of the skin
from the forehead close to the brows
In the evening the girls condition
was reported as favorable, although
erysipclas might cnsuc. Several
years ago n somewhat similar acci-
dent occurred to an Italian lady the
wife Of mill proprietor in the lower
part of the city. She was passing
through the working room where the
looms we're clankipg away, ker long
beautiful hair, of which she was proud
hanging loosely down her back. A
strand Of it entangled in Shaft, and
like flash she, too, partially scalpcd.
The surgeons replaced the fragment
dextcrousIy, and perfect adhesion WAS
secured, so that at this day the lady
enjoys her glossy trcsses intact as
thougi she had never lad the terrible
experience.

Looking around in the dark TO see if

Live-ForeVeF Lemons.

n Ocl tuan )llllOSO)lcT anu LneuiCal
doctor-Dr. Wilhelm Schmoele-pro.
fesses 10 have discovered one of The
four great secrets that have puzzled
the brains Of mankind almost from
the beginning and if his discovery
be real Lo will see 10 it that he lives
long on ough 10 solve the other three
problems Of nature. He claims to
have found the elixir Of life, the gen.
uine and only e9isir vite, at last, and
now 5ne quadrature Of the circle, the
transmuta,ion OF metals and perpctu-
al motion will be child's play to him.
TO assert his claims he has written a
voluminous book, entitled "Makrobi-
outik and Eubunik." developing a
scientific method for lhc indefinite
prolongation Of human life. The
work is attacked by the press and
professors, but what of lhati Dr..
Schmocle is full"blown professor of
pathology and philosopher to boot,
as his pai chmcnts and medals certify.
The elixir Of life is simply lemon
juice, TO be taken in prescribed guam
titles, according 10 a.c, and without
any admixture Of water, sugar or al
cohol. Who would have thought that
lemons contain the very essence and
spirit OF Immortality Yet according
to this authority they do. But even
if the theory be true. the conditions
seem to make it somewhat cumbcr-
some and impracticablc. 1t takes
too many lemons to add few years
10 life and presently the earth could
not grow lemons enough To satisfy
| the increasing demand and after the
lemons Of life were squeezed, what
then? The lemon eating habit may
be commenced With equal eertainty
as 10 results ut any time Of life, and
there would be no use in any healthy
man or woman beginning it under
tifty. Between City and sixty four lem.
ons day are prescribed, and one adj
ditional lemon day between sixty and
seventy, and SO on for every decade
TO all eternity. or SO long as man
can hold tho lemons. But it is evi.
iitaent Ttbatsthe load Of lemong would
soon increase the load Of lfo until un.
bcarablc, and continued existence
would cost far more than i. woul ]
amount to. Kven If true, it would
inevitably defeat the purpose. The
book is published by the printing
Office Of Brown University. which in
vests it with the character of authori-
ty.-St. Louis Republican. {.
