"My father" he began, was yardman to MI
honor Sir William Francis, Of Castle Francis
in the County Derry, when cne summer even
ing him and me seen wee slip O black pig
running along the potato ridges in his honor's
park. | was a brave runner, an l ran after the
little pig. I caught it and held it till my faith
er came up, and between us we got it into the
ward at the castle, an shut it into sty to it.
sell, His honor, Sir William, made inquiries
far and wide to find out if any one had lost
wee black pig; in truth, I wilma just say, fol-
fear I'd tell lie, but do think he had 1t
printed in the newspaper; but naebody wad
own the pig, an dell one wad takea present
O it.
$50 there it stopped, an it ate and ate, till
it was that heavy it couldna get in an out at
the door of the sty, an bed had to be made
for it in the cart shed.
"It got on to November, an the butcher
came to look at the masters pigs.
"'Come, Gallagher, an look at the pig that
dropped frae the Clouds says Sir William.
"Those were his honor's very words, an my
father and the men in the yard looked at each
other when they heerd him.
"sThon's the best pig O. them ALL says
Gallagher; hes seven hundred weight, II
he's q pound
"tWell, you can kill him the first thing to-
morrow morning. says Sir William, turning
ava, careless like, frae the door O. the shed.
"We dinna wish to kill him, because O the
quare way he came to the place but the mas
ter's bidding had to be done; so we got big
vat of boiling water ready, for we knowed
the carcase would be heavy; and then we
went to the cart shed. Was the water boiled
when we went to the cart shed? I'll no just
say, for fear I'd tell lie, but, any way, I'm
sure my father had the fire made to boil it.
"Weel your ladyship, when we went to kill
the pig, there was nae pig in the shed, and
there was nae pig to be found anywhere,
though we searched the country far an wide.
"His honor said we ha' left the door
open but put it to you, how could pig
weighing seven hundred pounds ha' disap-
peared so that nae track O him could be
found an. who could ha' stole pig O that
size ?"
"What do you think really happened?
Il think the pig heerd the talk about kill
ing him, and went ava"
"But what was he? Was he a fairy, a
warlock, or what?"
II don't know, my lady! but this do
know-all luck left Castle Francis from that
day. His honor lost lawsuit he was engaged
in, and his big bull that was brung over frae
England, an was worth twa hundred pound,
choked himself wi a turnip. Troth it's a
dangerous thing to dispise luck that comes to
YOUR door,"

TEXAS BEEvEs AT HoME.-W Western Texas
teens with vast herds of cattle, roaming in a
semi.wld state, throug hout the whole year.
The owners make common cause IN rounding
up and young calves are claimed and identi-
fed by the marks upon the mother. Texas
beef, such as we find in the Northern markets,
gives but poor idea of the succulent steaks
eaten around the camp fire, with the zest Of a
perfect appetite for sauce. 1t is Texan
boast that better meat is thrown to the dogs
among the ranches, than the people of the
North can get in their markets. Indeed, |
heard of one man who killed "a year or so ago,
more than 10000 head Of cattle for the hides
and tallow. Such condition of prodigal
waste could not exist in land of less magnif'
icent distances or better means of treightage.
Instances of this kind, however, are rare, and
the more far-sighted stock men of the State
are taking alarm at the rapid advances in the
business making in Kansas and Colorado.
The shipment Of Texas beef out Of the
State by rail, last year, probably aggregated
100000 head, while at least an equal number
were driven to Colorado, Kansas, etc. In ad'
dtion, large numbers are sent MA. the Gulf to
New Orleans and Cuba.
The management Of vast herd OF cattle
upon the open plain is difficult and hazard
GUS feat 1t requires both nerve and an init
mate knowledge of cattle nature, to ride into
the midst of the thronging, pushing beasts,
and single out those destined for the corral.
Should panic ensue, both horse and rider
will be borne along before the resistless tide
to certain destruction. A herd has been

THE REVISION OF THE BIBLE.

The London papers tell us that revised
edition of the New Testament may be expect.
ed early in 1880. For the forthcoming Old
Testament version, we must patiently wait.
Forty years ago, when there was universal
prejudice against meddling with the Bible, it
would have been impossible to effect such a
revolution Of opinion as now exists. BY the
advancing light thrown upon biblical schol'
arship, it became necessary to remove the
many errors that had been detected. Accor.
dinghy, after numerous discussions and publ
cations, the way was prepared, in 1870, for
the Convocation of Canterbury to appoint a
committee, composed Of the ablest Greek and
Hebrew scholars in the Established Church.
This committee was divided into two compa-
nies; one for the Old, and the other for the
New Testament. These companies were rein
forced by the best talent in the dissenting
bodies. For nearly ten years they have met
at Westminster Abbey, four times month,
for the purpose of going over together the
same portions which they had Individually
studied at their own homes.
In 1872, all American committee was
formed, consisting chiefly of Professors in the
leading Theological Seminaries, to cooperate
with the British revisers. Though represent
ing various denominations, and different
shades of belief, great harmony has prevailed
in the methods and results of Interpretation.
The American revisers meet at the Bible
House, in New York, and confer with the
British Committee, through DR.. SchaA,
1t is not the intention of the revisory com.
mittee to make q new Bible but to elevate
the standard of the Old, as the spirit Of the
times demand. The changes to be accom-.
plished will be so slight that those unfamiliar
with the Scriptures will scarcely detect the
difference. Such expressions as "strain at
gnat," will probably become "strain out q
gnat." The word Easter, will probably be
changed to the Jewish Passover. Robbers of
churches" will be read as robbers of heathen
temples. Jonah will no more be written iona !;
nor Sinai Sna; nor Cush, Ethiopia. The
Psalms, and many other passages will be
printed like poetry, ignoring, altogether, the
present conformity with prose- Chronologlc.
al inaccuracies will be corrected.
The learned Canon Rawlinson, at first, ia
vored the idea of delay, in the hope Of re-
ceiving fresh help from newly discovered mon,
uments in Egypt and Assyria. But the final
result, though necessarily imperfect, will, I'm.
doubtedly, be worthy Of the great and good
men who have labored so faithfully. The
conflict of religious opinions among scholars
is far less than that among the common peo-
pie. And tits to be hoped that the new trans
Iation may relieve many minds now filled with
doubts, and become the agency by which a
greater harmony may be created among sects
now too widely separated. And not only
that, but it 'is fact worthy Of earnest con-
sideration, that our English Bible has ever
been "the we'll of English unde6led;" and for
the sake of hallowed memories ought never to
undergo the radical changes consequent upon
a modern diction.

MULLEN AS A CURE FOR CONSUMPTION -.
A correspondent writes as follows to an ex-
change: II have discovered remedy for con.
sumption. It has cured number of cases
after they had commenced bleeding at the
lungs and the hectic flush was already on the
cheek. After trying this remedy to my own
satisfaction, have thought philanthropy re-
quired that should let it be known to the
world. It is common MULLEN stepped strong
ly and sweetened with coffee. sugar and drank
freely. It is much more beneficial if allowed
to become cool before using. A bottle OF the
tea should be carried in the pocket and used
whenever there is desire for drink. Young
or old plants are good, dried in the shade and
kept in clean bags. The medicine must be
continued from three to six months, according
to the nature of the disease. 1t is very good
for the blood-vessels, also. It strengthens and
builds up the system instead Of taking away
the strength it makes good blood, and takes
Inflammation away from the lungs.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA CAsE.-A Wash
ington dispatch to the Baltimore Sun, under
date of the 18th instant, says: Attorney.Gen-
eral Youmans, of South Carolina, to-day
moved in the Supreme Court to dismiss the
writ of error, in the case Of Robert Smalls,
from the Supreme Court of the State Of South
Carolina. The motion was made with the
concurrence of both sides, and the case was,
accordingly, dismissed. Smalls, who is we'll
known as one of the leaders of the colored
people of South Carolina, was, for several
terms, member of the House Of Representa-.
tives, and prior to that member of the State
Senate of South Carolina. He was indicted
in the State courts for receiving bribe OF
$4,000 while State Senator, and, upon con.
viction, appealed the cause to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Last spring the
Governor of South Carolina pardoned Smalls,
and hence the motion made to-day. The
costs in the case are to be paid by Smalls.
The dismissal of this case ends what is known
as the South Carolina political cases, and it is
very naturally a source Of congratulation all
around. While the evidence before the South
Carolina courts appeared to be entirely con-
elusive in sustaining the indictment against
Smalls, the State authorities have been in
clined to leniency on account of the political
color that was given to the case As the
Governor had also pardoned L.. Cass Carpen.

A STRANGE Sect. Benjamin Roe, a farm.
er, of Osakona, Wisconsin, has started one OF
the strangest sects in existence-the Peculiar
Children" Roe was formerly q Baptist, but
was informed "by the spirit" that literal In
depreciation should be given to Christ's words:
Except ye become as little children ye shall
not enter into the kingdom of heaven. The
apostle Of this new dispensation is a large,
rather good-looking man Of sixty years, awk-
ward in manner and uncouth in speech, bat
so earnest that he has made quite number
of converts in his vicinity. During the sum-
mer Roe conducts campmeeting in the
woods, the religious exercises being like those
of similar gatherings. But afterward, gray.
boards and grandmas whip out their tops and
marbles, play tag and kissing games, suck
candy and play with dolls, for all the world,
like children of eight or ten years old.
Strange as it may appear, this sort OF thing
makes converts to the doctrine that believers
should be innocent, sincere, above care for
land or gold, but instead should love harm
less enjoyment and those things alone which
are intrinsically worthless.

How PoRT WINE Is MADE.-All port wine
hitherto exported for the English market, is
largely mixed with brandy, and is composed
as much of elderberries as Of grapes. The
way in which what in England is called port
wine has hitherto been manufactured for the
London market, is this: The Paiz de Venhate.
rio sbounds in elder trees the berries of these
trees are dried in the sun or in kilns The
wine is then thrown on them, and the berries
are trodden Gas previously the grapes) till it
is thoroughly saturated with the coloring mat
ter of the berries. Brandy is then added in
the proportion of from three to sixteen gal
Ions to every pipe of 115 gallons. This is the
composition Of all the port wine drank in
England.

Cur OUT FOR REPERgacE.-Prof Wilder
gives three short rules for action in case Of
accidents: For dust in the eyes, avoid rub
bing; dash water into them. Remove Gin.
ders, etc, with the round point of a led pen.
Gil. Remove insects from the ear By tepid
water; never put hard instrument into the
ear. If an artery is cut, compress below: If
choked, get on all fours and cough. For
light burns, dip the part in cold water; if the
skin is destroyed, cover with varnish. smoth.
er fire with carpets, etc.; water will often
spread the burning oil and increase the dan.
ger. Before passing through smoke, take q
full breath, and then stoop low; but if carbon
is suspected, walk erect. Suck poison wounds,
unless your mouth is sore enlarge the wound,
or, better, cut out the part without delay.
Hold the wounded part as long as can be
borne to hot coal or end of a cigar. In
case of poisoning, excite vomiting by tick.
ling the throat by water Or mustard. For
acid poisons, give alkalies; in the case Of
opium poison, give strong coffee, and keep
moving. If in water, float on the back, with
the nose and mouth projecting For apo
plexy, raise the head and body; for fainting,
lay the body fiat.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

WHAT CORRESPONDENT FROM LAUkENS
THINKS ABOUT 1T.
We make the following extracts from the
Laurens correspondent of the Beaufort Cfes-
cent:
I understand that Eyins will have some op-
position to him next time, when his term ex-
rpires. Several prominent men have been
mentioned in connection with his seat in Con.
gress, who say that time about is fair play.
There is no doubt several who can be induced
to take it. Gaillard, of Fairfield, is very
anxious, | hear, to tilt with him and Cleve.
land, of Spartanburg is spoken of. General
Kennedy, of Kershaw, is candidate. Judge
Wallace seems to be the most formidable
name spoken Of and, even w. E. Earle, Of
Greenville, is said to be looking forward to it
with longing eyes. And now General A.. G..
Darlington is looming up.
Our Congressional district, which is COM
posed of Abbeville, Anderson, Laurens, New
berry, Ocouee, Pickens and Richland, howev-
er, beats them all, for the number and varie-
ty of its aspirants for the seat Of our present
representative, D. Wyatt Aiken. Commen-
cling at Richland, it will be found that Co.
lumbia, its political centre, and the capital OF
the State, has number of aspirants for the
honor of representing the Third District in
Congress. There is Bacon and Col. McMas-
ter, Col. Youmans and Hon. j. c. Haskell,
every one of whom is talked of. From New
berry, j. N. Lipscomb, Ellison Keitt, Jim
Baxter, J. Y. Pope and Geo. Johnstone are
equally and prominently spoken Of tor the
next succession. In Laurens, Todd and Ball
are not so far off the track. In Anderson,
Orr has his aspirations, and might be formid.
able with his fathers prestige, but he can
never inspire the same adulation. The time
for the popularity of his fathers politics has
passed away forever in that part OF South
Carolina, He lacks his fathers address, and
his awkward appearance can never be re-
deemed even by the fair ability which he pos
sesses. His cohesion to the Charleston Rings
in the Legislature hurt him. Perhaps the
most formidable opponent that Aiken may
have will be Gen. MCGOWAN, if he desires the
nomination. MCGOWAN is a great fayorite
throughout the Third District, and, added to
fine presence and address, he is soul.stirring
orator of the genuine Irish type ofimpassion-
ed eloouence. There seems to besome dlssat-
isfaction about the impracticability of D.
Wyatt Aiken, and I think there is but little
doubt of his being dropped next time. Such
is politics. So far as the Governorship is con.
cerned, our people are strongly in favor Of
Gary. We are tired of halfway men. We
want prompt decisive men, who will inspire
us with confidence that our victory, gained in
1876 is not to be gone back upon by DALI
