Why Hampton Rede the Mule.

From the Charleston. s. c. Courier-JournaL
The account of the accident, which was
published in the Meas and Courier the day
after ITS occurrence, became known was
full and correct in every particular, and
that omission now desire to supply, as it
answers the question which have fire.
quently heard asked, Why Governor
Hampton, of all men, should ever have
consented to ride mule in deer hunt ?"
A sufficient reply might be made to the
effect that the Governor can ride anything
any other man can, and, therefore, felt no
hesitation in mounting even young. un-
broken mule but the true and better rea-
son is that he chose to uss the animal in
question rather than continue the hunt
with the horse he had taken with him,
which had already done him good service
the day before, and which he Wished to
spare for the reason that it was not his
own, but had been placed at his disposal
by friend. The Governor is a hard rider
where his own stock are concerned, but he
is not one of that very large class of man
kind who, according to the proverb, are
willing to "ride borrowed horse to
death.' He left the horse behind, there
fore, upon principle, and took upon him
self the risk of riding instead brute,
which few other men would care to be-
stride. In this general connection may as
well mention another fact in psint, which
viii be appreciated by any man who knows
the Governor, or who has ever followed the
hounds-to-wit, that the only real concern
the Governor evinced at the time of the
accident, though suffering keenly the
while, was in view Of the possibility that
soms blundering reporter or editor might
publish to the world that he had been
thrown from his saddle.

THE MrLnERrTEs. When William Mil
ler founder OF the branch of Second Advent
lists known as q sIillerites, !" died in 1S49, it
is estimated that he left behind him 30, ,0Oo
to SO, 900 followers. He was plain, uned-
ucated farmer, and the preachers who Ia
bored with him were generally strong but
uncultured men, who knew good deal
about the scriptures, but little OF ANYTHING
else. The dates which this sect have from
time 20 time appointed for the second COM
ing Of Christ and the end of the world are
1912, AT, '4S, '57 and ,61. In some locali-
tles the Mi,leriEes hare more than once at
tired themselves in white and stationed
themselves III graveyards and on the roots
of houses. In spite Of the failure Of their
many predictions, they still hold that fhe
coming Of Christ isyefy near. but they do
not fix any precise date.--Rs'0 Iers Irs-

The Columbia River,
From the Virginia Enterprise

In many respects the Columbia river is
the grandest on the continent. Fourteen
hundred miles above its mouth it is as large
as the Sacramento river at Rio Vista, and it
rolls to the sea with increasing q giandeur all
the way. Where it hews it's way through
the Cascades, new and gorgeous picture
is painted every moment, and after the
mountains are passed. II sweeps into per-
feet purity and win immense volume to
the sea. It is watched over by the most
magnificent mountains in the union, and
where the river joins the ocean there is an
eYerla sting war of waters, which is as beau
tiful as it is terrible. By and by, when
communication with Oregon is cheap and
comfortable, people will cease to 60 to Eu-
rope in summer, but will seek the Cascades
of the Columbia, and, as they watch, will
grow to be better Americans as they more
fully realize the claims which their native
lands have upon their admiration. The
Mississippi has greater volume than the
Oregon; (this is mistake; the volume of the
Columbia is actually greater than that of
the Mississippi.-ED. OREaoN1AN) the
Hudson makes rival pictures which perhaps
are as beautiful as any painted in ihe Cas-
cades; but there is a power, a beauty, pu-
rity and wildness about the river of the
west which Is all its own and which is al
together unapproachable In its. charms.

The Mistletoe.
Potter's American Monthly


This singular plant, so widely interwo-
ven with the superstition and poetry Of our
Saxon forefathers, and lnseparabls from
both heathen and Christian traditions of
Yule-tide," is a coarse, two-leaved ever
green growing on trees, as many of the
MOSES and fungi do. Its leaves are OBJ
long, and between every pair of them is
found cluster of small, sticky berries
the same of which the substance called
bird-lime is made. During the Christmas
week of 1872 the English mistletoe bough
was offered for sale in Boston for the first
time. We give our readers the following
NEUROLOGICAL account of this plant, still
dear to every English home circle. The
mistlstoe was the holiest plant in nature to
the Druids and early Britons, for it repre-
sented their sun god, Horus, of Eastern
mythology (the offspring Of Dec and Virgo,
which the Egyptians represented by the
Sphinx, is also Baldur, the loved and
early lost, whose tale in the Morse my
thology is like a sunshiny fragment Of
Ionian life, dropped in the stormy center
of the Scandinavian existence. For Bal
dur, the holiest Druids sought with pray
ers and ceremonies on the sixth day Of the
moon the mistlesoe which grew on the
sacred oak. It's discovery was hailed with
songs and sacrifices of white bulls.
None but the chief priest might gather
it, which was done by separating it from
the tree by golden knife. It was caught
in the robe of priest, and ON no account
allowed to touch the ground. In Denmark,
Sweden and Norway it still has names
equivalent to Baldur brow. It was in high
reputation with all pretenders to the black
art, and is authoritatively said TO have the
power of resisting lightning. It grows in
abundance in Central Texas, and it is cur
rently believed that If even the tree on
which 1T grew were blasted by lightning it
was always uninjured. Chandler says
that the custom of decking the house at
Christmas with mistletoe is of pagan orr
gin, and was done by the Druids to allure
and comfort the sylvan spirits during the
sleep of nature. 1t is found in abundance
from Texas north to the mouth of the Ohio
river.

A Happy DO Lucky Parson.
Boston Courier


A short time back vicar, who halls from
the Emerald Isle, preached sermon in his
own pulpit which rather startled his con-
gregation. He was extremely severe upon
upon people who misbehayed themselves
by laughing in church. So particularly
and apparently personal were his remarks
that after church-time it became question
with the congregation as to who were the
deliuquents. Several ladies of known egg
Cling powers were mentally discussed,
and the whole congregation were in a state
of wonder. A gentleman meeting the rev.
erend gentleman a few days afterwards,
said, Vicar, who are the people you adj
ministered 80 hot rebnke to last Sunday?
Have any of your young lady friends been
giggling?' Who are the offenders ?''
"No, my FRIEND" responded the Vicar,
"the fact is-in your earl was as much
surprised as the congregation appears to
have been, for I preached that sermon by
mistake! When left my study to go to
church on Sunday took up sermon from
a number on hand, and it proved to be the
wrong one. But, continued the Vicar,
