Dir. McGill has Il tenant, Durah-
Durall had fine bottom Of corn. The
morning after the rain he stood like
Marius in the midst of tho ruins,
When MIR. McGili saw and approached
him. D's hands were deep in his pock,
cts, his head bare and his feet shoclcss,
lie stood daZcu. When uccosted, ho
appointed to the bottom, and simply
said: "N0tn stalk of corn is there"
When asked further about it he said !;
"Why, Mass Bill, why dc wind began
TO puff, am. den got harder and blew
oil some dc 'claboards,' and den dc hail
come, aud bless You, if had held my
hat out, ii would been full before l
could tell YOU" "Wcll, what did you
DO" "Why, | got TO prayin' and dc
old 'omam, she prayed too, and
think she put up do best prayer"
Some ofthe dark.cs around laughed,
for old Durah is not noted for his re-
ligious incinatioms. When he saw
this ho said, "Iou may laugh, but
tell you if one or two more Of dose
storms come along here, tink / will
git religion certain sure"
When | was on the place Mr.. Nc
Gill, GA true chip Of the old block" had
cleaned away the dc6riS, and was at
work, with renewed energy. This
young man pays thirty bales Of cotton

MONTICELLO ITEMS.

Tho Dino Rcading.-PhenomeDni Storm
Sheets Of Water and IIatfuls Of Hail,
MONTICELLO, April 30, 18S0.-My
last was written on Tuesday 9th inst.
On that night we had high wind ac-
companicd with dashing rain and Sc
we're hail, but Of short durationat this
point. Some three or four miles
northwest Of this point, however, one
of the most remarkable rains fell that
has fallen within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. OF this, more anon.
We havo had some warm weather.
The thermometer was as high as cigh-
ty-four degrees. Last Wednesday
fires were not uncomfortable in the
morning. Thursday VIC had rain from
early morning, with occasional very
hard dashcs during the day. From
the window where am seated arc two
fields in full view, one belonging to
Col. Thos. Dawkins and the other TO
Capt. Haync McMcckin. In the for
mcr cotton seed was put in tho ground
on the 10Th inst, and there was a full
stand OH tho Goth, On the latter field
cotton seed sowcd on the 22nd was up
to a "fair stand" on the Goth. In
many places there is rust in the wheat;
as yet, confined to the blade. Oats
are promising-good "stand" Of corn
generally. My old friend e, predicts
q heavy frost on or about the change of
tho moon. Hc foretold the sleet and
SNOW that fell short time back, and
made a sagacious chit" then. l hope he
will fail this pop.
Last Friday was driven to the dime
reading by Murray, behind horse
whose sleek condition indicates that
corn is fed on the cob, and not scarce
at that, in his parts. I passed the
night with Mr.. JAS. N1cGill, q friend
of the oltlcn time; although his hair is
white, his spirit is young, as all would
agree could they SEQ what he has ac-
complishcd since tho war The dime
reading came Oft that night. Mrs.
McGill is president Of tho Monticello
Woman's Missionary Society, in
whose interest these pleasant and in
structive entertainments arc given.
The singing was good. BY special re-
quest Saul ut Endor, from tho Night
Scenes of the Bible, was read. Then a
sweet song by Mrs. VIM. MoGill, &C.
companicd by Mcssrs. William and
Thomas MoGill. Social conversation
followed tho regular exercises. In
clement weather and rain prevented q
large attendance, but those present en-
joyed themselves very much.
The ncxt morning was taken pos-
session Of by Mr.. VIM. McGill and
carried to his home, where saw some
of tho effects Of tho rain spoke Of
above. l cannot properly describe
what [ saw. It was of q phenomenal
character. Tho rain'f full did not gully
the land, but swept over IL III one con-
tinuous, unbroken sheet, leveling cot
ton rows--acros in breadth and in ono
field, where tho rain fall could only
collect in nthirty acres,it passed from
stop slant in one unbroken eheet.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t Will be apparent to any one, who Will OK
anime SOLID GOLD WATCH. that aside from
tho necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, II large proportion OF tho precious
metal used, Is needed only to stiffcn and hold
the engraved portions In place, and supply the
n ccssary soltdity and strength. The surplus
gold is actually needless sofar as UTILITY and
beauty arc concerned. In JAMES BOSS PAT
ENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of pre-
cious metal; IFS overcome, and the sAMR soLIDITY
AND STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
onc-half OF the usual cost OF solid cases. This
process is Of the most simple nature, as fol-
lows: plate Of nickel composition metal.
specially adapted TO the purpose, has two plates
Of SOLID GOLD soldercd one on each side. The
three arc then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result Is strip OF heavy plated
composition. from which the cases, backs, CEN
tres, bezzlcs, &C.. are cut AMI shaped by suita-
bic dies and formers. The gold in these cases
Is sufficiently thick to admit OF all kinds OF
chasing, engraving and enamcling; tho en-
graved cases have been carried until worn per.
fcctly smooth by time and use without remov-
Ing the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO
PLATES OF SOLID GOLD, AND WARRANTED

WINNsBORO, S. c., }

Alay =, 1850,
A County Convention of the Demo-
cratic PARTY of Fairfield is called to
meat in the courthouse in Winnsboro
at II O'Clock, Il. nl., on Saturday, the
29,h OF May. 1t will be the duty OF
this Convention to appoint delegates
TO the State Convention, to elect {,
county chairman, and TO transact any
other business that may be deemed
necessary or that the welfare Of tho
party may demand.
JNO. BRATToN,
County Chairman.
The ISSUES Involved in the Cnmpaign--Ee-
cessity fFull Club Meetings.
n circular TO the presidents Of the
township clubs has been issued by
General Bratton, which is rs follows:
Presidents OF Democratic clubs will
call meetings ftllcir clubs for the pur-
pose of sending delegates to the Coun-
w Convention. The number Of dele
gates to which each club is entitled is
determined by the 5th art. Of tho con-
slitutiom of the Democratic party OF
the county, and membership on which
representation is based is that inQi-
Gated by the club lists Of the last cam
paign. AT these meetings, tho first of
the incoming campaign, it will be
proper to elect officers oftllc club and
appoint Il county executive committee
man furcath club. No day is dcsg-
mated for these club meetings, and The
omission is intcniiInll. IL is dcvolvcd
on each Of vou to select that time and
place Of meeting which will best secure
full and earnest attendance of your
club members. In urging the impor-
tuncc Of this point, your attention is
called to Il resolution Of your county
executive committee on this subject.
1t is deemed necessary only to add, bv
way OF directing your minds to it, that
the complications Of our immediate
surroundings will not admit Of any re-
taxation Of interest on the part OF the
people in even local politics. The
present condition of our political af-
fairs in amy and every aspect Of it,
whether Of its local bearings or gcncr-
al scope, demands carncstncss of
interest and attention Oh the
part Of thc&pcoplc themselves, to Il
degree unprecedented in the his
tory Of the country. The issues to be
settled by the approaching campaign
Involve the very principles Oh govern
mcnt on which the liberties of the
people rest. There is only space
here (and it is deemed sutlicicnD to
remind You that these little club meet
ings all over the Union arc the initial
steps in this momcnlous campaign. On
the spirit and interest developed III
these little clubs depends in great
measure that which will animate tho
Democracy when arraycd in heavy
masses. They arc the source from
which the very life Of the Democratic
movement sl,rinys., If these first
meetings arc well attended; if these
first steps for preparation for the
great campaign before us arc full and
lair expression Of the aggregate scnti-
ment Of the clubs, there can be little
doubt as to the result, on our part OF
the line, in tho coming conflict.

Bread and Meat.

NJ Scheurer- Kestnef has discovered
the remarkable fact that the fermenta-
ton of bread causes the complete diges-
ton of meat. He found that a beef
steak cut into small pieces, and mixed
with flour and yeast disappeared en-
tirely during the process of paniication,
its nutritive principles becoming in
corporated with the bread. The meat
would also appear capable of preserva-
ton for an indefinite period in its new
state, for loaves of meat bread made in
1873 were submitted to the French
Academy of Science, when not a trace Of
worms or moldiness was observable,
At the beginning of his experiments,
NJ. Scheurer-K us ID raw meat,
but the meat bread lad disagreeable
sour taste. which was avoided by cook
ing the meat for an hour with sufficien
water to afterward Inoisten the flour.
The meat must be carefully deprived Of
fat, and only have sufficient salt to
bring out the flavor, as salt, by aborb-
ing the moisture from the air, would
tend to spoil the bread. The proper
ton of meat to flour should not exceed
one-half. so as to insure complete diges-
ton. Bread made with suitable pro-
portion of veal is said to furnish excel
lent soup for the sick and wounded.

The Marriages Of Great Men. .

Shakespeare loved and welded a
farmers daughter
Humboldt married a poor girl be-
cause he loved her. OF course they
were happy.
Robert Burns married a poor farm
girl, with whom he fell in love while
they worked on a-farm together.
Peter the Great, of Russia, married q
peasant. She made him an excellent
wife and a sagaeious empress.
John Adams married daughter of a
Presbyterian clergyman. Her father
objected on account of John being a
lawyer.
Andrew jackson married woman
whose husband was still living. She
was an anliable woman, and was most
devotedly attached to the old warrior
and statesman.
Washington married widow with
two children. 1t is enough to say she
was worthy of him; and they lived as
married people should live, in perfect
harmony with each other.
Prince Albert and Queen Victoria
were cousins, a rare example in the long
line Of English monarchs, wherein the
marital vows were sacredly observed
and sincere affection existed.
