THE Cork LEG.-Modern science has
brought the cork leg to state of perfec.
tion which renders it almost impossible
for the casual observer to detect the diff
ference between the real and artificial.
There was an eminent young lawyer
some years ago who had cork leg that
was a triumph of artistic deception.
None but his intimates knew for certain
which was the real and which was the
sham limb. A wild young wag of the
cutter bar" who knew the lawyer pref
ty we'll, once thought to utilize this
knowledge of the lawyers secret to take
in newly-fedged young barrister. The
lawyer was addressing special jury at
Westminster in his usual earnest and
vehement style, and the wag whispered
to his neighbor, "You see how hot old
Buzfuz is over his case; now, will bet
you sovereign I'll run this pin into his
leg slap up to the head, and he will never
even notice it, he's 80 absorbed in his
case. He is most extraordinary man in
that way" This was more than the green
horn could swallow, so he took the bet.
The wag leaning forward drove it up to
the head in the lawyers leg. A yell that
froze the blood of all who heard it, that
made the hair Of the jury stand on end and
caused the Judges wig almost to fall off,
ran through the court. "By Jove it's
the wrong leg, and I've lost my money"
exclaimed the dismayed and conscience.
stricken wag, quite regardless of the pain
he had inflicted upon the learned lawyer.

THE RECENT FATAL DUEL.
A Strong and Manly Letter From Senator
Butler.
EnGEF1ELD c. H Lulv l3

EDGEFIELD G. H., July l3, 1850.
Messrs. RiorIan d: Dawson-DEAR
SIRs: 1 want to say to you that you
have my hearty endorsement in the
position you have taken in le.
ference to the Cash Shannon tragedy.
1t is no reflection upon the memory
of the gallant gentlemen of the
past who resorted to the duello to
settle their personal differences to ask
that the law be vindicated in this case.
In former days the most punctilious
decorum and chivalric courtesy distin.
guished the conduct of gentlemen in
"aftairs of honor" and coarse ribaldry
and gasconade in correspondence was as
odious as the brand of cowardice; but
now the "swashbuckler style" appears to
be fashionable.
The issue is very sharply made be-
tween those who trample law defianLly
under foot and those who execute it, and
/ do hope that courage enough may be
found to execute it.
1t will be sad day for South Carolina
when gentleman, who feels it to be his
personal or professional duty to vindi.
cate private rights in our courts, is first
to be insulted, pursued, villifed and
goaded to desperation, and then shot.
If that is to be the plane which our civili-
zation is to occupy, We shall all be
sleeping on our arms. And there must
be something radically wrong in pub
lie sentiment which can force a man of
Shannon's high character and acknowl-
edged courage to fight duel under the
1t is about time we were finding out
where we are, and ascertain whether
"border rutfianism" is 10 govern this
country or whether civilized institutions
shall be maintained.
express no opinion on the merits of
this difficulty for know nothing of it,
except what have seen in the public
prints; butI do venture the opinion that
it is the first time in the history of duel
ing in South Carolina that a man has
been shot for doing what he had, in
morals and law, clearly the right to do,
and for doing what it was his sworn
duty to do, to wit: faithfully repre-
senting the interests of his clients in the
courts against parties who had them
selves gone into the courts. 1t is with
out parallel either in the issue made
or the manner of its conduct.
You are doing your share of public
duty in proper emancipation me for
saying so-and believe that nine.tenths
of the respectable people of the State
will sustain you.
You may count on my doing so in amy
way that l properly may.
Very truly yours, &C.:
NJ. g. BUTLER.

The Last Battle of the Revolution.

DR.. Alexander Anderson, the father Of
wood engraving in this country, died in
Jersey City, in 1870, few weeks before
his ninety-fifth birthday. He was born
in New York two days after the skirmish
at Lexington, and had vivid recollections
Of some of the closing events of the
Revolution in that city. From his lips
the writer heard many narratives of those
stirring scenes. One of them was an
account of tie last battle of the Revolu
ton, of which young Anderson, then a
boy between eight and nine years of age,
was an eyewitness.
Anderson's parents lived near the foot
of Murray street, not for from the Hud-
son River. There were very few houses
between them and Broadway. Opposite
Auderson's dwelling was a boarding
house kept by man named Day. His
wife was comely, strongly built woman
about forty years of age, and possessed
brave heart. She was an ardent Whig,
and, having courage equal to her convic-
tions, she never concealed her senti-
ments.
On the morning of the day November
25, 17S3, when the British troops were
to evacuate the city of New York, and
leave America independent, Mrs. Day
unfurled her country's flag over her
dwelling. The British claimed the right
to hold possession of the city until noon
that day. Cunningham, the notorious
British proyost-marshal, was informed Of
this impudent display of the "rebel
banner" in the presence of ritish troops,
and sent a sergeant to order it to be taken
down. Mrs. Day refused compliance.
At about nine o'clock in the morning,
while young Anderson was sitting on the
porch of his fathers house, and Mrs
Day was quietly sweeping in front of her
own, he saw burly, .red-faced British
officer in full uniform, with q powdered
wig, walking rapidly down the street.
He halted before Mrs. Day, and roughly

"I raised that hag," coolly answered
Mrs. Day, looking the angry officer full
in the face.
"Pull it down" roared the Briton.
'I shall not do it," firmly answered
Mrs. Day.
"You don't know who am" angrily
growled the officer.
eyes l do,' answered the courageous
woman.
Cunningham (for it was he) seized the
halyards, and attempted to pull down the
flag, when Mrs. Day flew at him with her
broom, and beat him so severely over the
head that she knocked off his hat, and
made the powder fly from his wig. 81
saw it shine like dim nimbus around
his head in the morning sum-" said An
derson.
Cunningham was an Irishman, detested
by everybody for his cruelty to American
prisoners in his charge. Mrs. Day had
often seen him. He storncd and swore
and tugged in vain at the halyards, for
they had become entangled; and Mrs.
Day applied the broomstick so vigorously
that the clustering provost-marshal was
compelled to beat hasty retreat, leaving
the American flag floating in the crisp
November air over the well.defendetl
Day castle.
This was the last battle between the
British and Americans in the old war for

Ayrshire Cows.

The following statistics of this we'll es.
tablished breed, deserve the attention of
all who are interested in dairy matters,
and clearly indicate that these COWS are
scarcely yet appreciated at their true val
ue.
The Ayrshire COW has been known to
produce over ten imperial gallons of good
milk in a day. A cow-feeder in Glasgow,
selling fresh milk, is said to have real
lied $3.50 in seven months from one good
COW, and it is stated on high authority
that one dollar day for six months of
the year, is no uncommon income from
good COWS under similar circumstances
and that seventy.Gve cents a day is be-
low the average. But this implies high
and iudicious feeding. The average yield
on ordinary food would be considerably
less.
Youatt estimates the daily yield of an
Ayrshire COW for the first two months af-
ter calving, at five gallons day on an
average; for the next three months at
three gallons, and for the next four
months at one gallon and half. This
would be eight hundred an fifty gallons
as the annual yield of a cow, but allowing
for some unproductive COWS, he estimates
the average of dairy of six hundred
gallons per annum for each COW. Three
and half gallons of the Ayrshire cows
milk will yield one and half pounds of
butter. He therefore reckons two hum
dred and fifty-seven pounds of butter, or
five hundred and fourteen pounds to
twenty eight gallons of milk, as the yield
of every COW, at fair and perhaps low
average, in an Ayrshire dairy during the
year. Alton sets the yield much higher,
saying that thousands of the Ayrshire
dairy COWS, when in prime condition and
we'll fed, produce one thousand gallons
of milk. per annum; that in general,
three and three-quarters to four gallons
of their milk yield pound and half of
butter; and twenty-seyen and a half gall
Ions of their milk will make twenty.one
pounds of full milk.cheese.
One of the four COWS originally impor-
ted into this country by John p. Gushing,
of Massachusetts, gave in one year 1864
quarts, beer measure, or about 464 gallons,
III teu PouuuS W VIC Saliou, oeA"6 Aa "'
erage of over ten and half beer quarts
day for the whole year. 1t is asserted,
on good authority, that the first Ayrshire
COW imported by the Massachusetts So
ciety for the promotion Of agriculture, in
1887, yielded sixteen pounds of butter
week for several weeks in succession, Oh
grass feed only. These yields are not so
large as those stated by Alton; but it
should, perhaps, be remembered that our
climate is less favorable to the produc-
ton of milk than that Of England and
Scotland, and that no COW imported af-
ter arriving at maturity, could be eXpec-
ted to yield as much, under the same cir
eumstances, as one bred on the spot where
the trial is made and perfectly acclima-

The public schools of Charleston will
compare most favorably with similar
institutions in the larger Northern cities,
and afford thorough instruction in the
lower and middle branches to nearly T.
900 pupils. The Charleston College fur
nishes the means of higher education.
The last Legislature provided for the
opening, in October, of the State Agri-
cultural College, branch of the State
University. ClaGin University, at Or
angeburg, is also branch of this institu-
tion, and is devoted exclusively to the
education of the colored people. In ad-
dition to these colleges there are num-
Der of denominational institutions in the
State-Erskine College at Due West,
Associate Reformed Presbyterian New
berry College at Newberry, Lutheran;
Wofford College at Spartanburg, Metho-
dist; Furman University at Greenville,
Baptist; Adger College at Walhalla,
Presbyterian. There are also female
colleges at Williamson, Greenyille, Due
West and Columbia. Military academies
are in active operation at Yorkville and
Greenville. ALI of these schools are un-
der the control of able and experienced
professors, and maintain high standard
of scholarship. The total attendance in
the public schools of the State last year
was 122, ,469-white 50,36S, colored 64,-

- 1t isn't every orator who has the
self.possession and the control over his
audience that military officer recently
exhibited. A flag had been presented to
the battalion in the presence of large
number of persons and with the ortho-
dox speech. The officer, in the name of
his comrades, received the standard, and
was in the midst of his reply when there
wss disturbance in the crowd, and the
attention of the auditors was turned
from the speaker entirely. Facing his
command, he cried, attention, battal-

further commands. Then the officer re-

the rights of persons and States.


Your nomination was not made alone
because in the midst of arms you Illus
trated the highest qualities of the SOL
dier, but because when war had ended,
and when in recognition of your courage
and fidelity, you were placed in COM
mand of a part of the Union undergoing
the process of restoration, and while you
were thus clothed with absolute power,
you used it not to subvert, but to sri-
tain the civil laws, and the rights which
they were established to protect. Your
fidelity to these principles, manifested in
the important trusts heretofore confided
to your care, gives proof that they will
control your administration of the Ma
tional Government, and assures the
country that one indissoluble union of
indestructible States, and the Constitu'
tion with its wise distribution Of power
and regard for the boundaries of State
and Federal authority, will not suffer
in your hands: that you will maintain
the subordination of the military to the
civil power, and will accomplish the
publication of the public service,
and especially that the Govern
ment which we love will be free
from the reproach or stain of sectional
agitation or malice in any shape or form.
Rejoicing in common with the masses
of the American people upon this bright
prospect for the future of our country,
we wish also to express to you PERSONAL

high duty, and will aid in its pcrfor.
