The GREAT MEN OF OcoNEE.-Our coun-
ty has furnished to other States men who have
risen to eminence and usefulness, and who
would here probably have never reached
high position. Among them we mention Uni.
ted States Senator Rusk, of Texas, who was
brought up in three miles of Walhalla, and
some of whose relatives still reside in our
county. Senator Brown, of Georgia, was born
and brought up 10 the most broken part of
this county, and his brother, Judge Brown, is
also native of Oconee DR.. H. V. Miller,
an ex.member of Congress from Georgia, was
taught in childhood by Rev. N. Sullivan, an
old Baptist minister living near Walhalla.
Ex-Governor Perry is the only native of our
county who has risen to eminence in this State,
and be has filled no official position higher
than that of Provisional Governor. Has any
State produced man of greater force of
character, of more indomitable will and ener-
gy, or of higher order of sound, practical
statesmanship than Governor; Perry ?, He
will live in history as one Of the great men of
this age, and his life is an example to all of
what may be accomplished by energy and
perseverance. Born and brought up in Oco.
nee, he settled in Greenvlle, wealthier and
more advanced county, and had an advantage
greater than if he had lived here, in corner
county, hedged in by Georgia and North Car
olina.-Keopee Courier.

RULES FOR SLEEPING IN CHURH.-A cor
respondent of the Pacific, in an article on the
proper manner of sleeping in church-a Gus.
tom, which, he remarks, has been consecrated
into duty by common practice since the
days of Paul-gives the following valuable
hints on the subject:
/. 1t is an improper manner of performing
this duty to nod, and for the plain reason
thatthe worshiper attracts too much atten-
ton. i Now, we are everywhere taught to
avoid ostentatious display in our worship.
The Pharisees were condemned for praying
at the corners of the streets, that they might
be seen of men. On the same principle the
nodding worshiper is condemned, for he is
making too public display of his devotions
g. Nor is it proper to snore in the perfor-
nance of this duty, partly for the foregoing
reasons; but mainly because it is direct
nfraction of the golden rule. Suppose, for
instance, that your next neighbor is asleep !;
by your snoring he will be disturbed, proba-
bly, entirely awakensd:' This, you perceive,
is not doing to others as you would they
should do to you.
3. I deem it unchristian to sleep with the
head thrown back and the mouth wide open.
1t is wrong to injure ones health while offer.
ing worship land. all, physicians admit that
such position is liable to produce sore throat
and hoarseness. Besides, flies sometimes get
into the mouth on such occasions, and by
their injudicious explorations, tickle the deli
cate membranes, and cause horrible strangula-
tions and coughings, which I am told are
very injurious to heahh ss#
COUGHING UP A BULLET.-General Viii.
liam j. Bolton, of Norristown, Pa, has been
relieved of Confederate bullet in his neck
that was source of pain the past seventeen
years. While Colonel of the Fifty.6rst regi.
ment of PENNSYLVANIA Veteran Volunteers,
and awaiting orders on mound at the time
of the famous mine explosion at Petersburg,
July 80, 1864, Confederate canister shell
exploded near him and small bullet entered
his lower jaw at the very point where he had
received bullet wound several years pre-
vious at the battle Of Antietam. DR.. Viii.
liam G. Sherlock, the regiments skilled sur.
geon, probed for the bullet but was upsuccess.
full. Several weeks later, DR.. Sherlock made
forty distinct incisions with the hope of ex-
tracing the Confederate ball, but without
success. Since then General Bolton felt pain
and oppression in his neck, especially du.
ring hot weather. Of late the pain was more
intense, and be felt some sharp object cut
ting its way toward his throat-pieces Of
his shattered jawbone he thought. One day
recently, while waiting on customer in bis
store, he had occasion to stoop and was imme'
dately taken with violent fit of coughing.
Placing his hand instinctively over his mouth
something dropped into it; he found it to be
the painful little ball of Confederate cast
iron. 1t was coated with. rust and weighed
273 grains troy; and its surface was covered
with sharp ridges.

PRICES FOR PURE BRED STocK.-On see-
ing the high prices often paid for choice speci-
mems of pure.bred stock, it often occurs to the
ordinary reader that the value of the animals
is vastly overrated and that by no possibility
could they be worth "that" amount of mon
ey. There is no doubt that extravagant
prices are sometimes paid for "fancy points,"
strains ION the boom" and speculative pur-
poses but in mos cases, when high figures
are given for breeding stock, there is fair
prospect that they will prove full worth all
that is paid for them. If, for instance, the
use of a bull will enhance the selling price
of the calves from a herd of so COWS $50
above what they nd bring if the progeny
of an ordinary bul $4,000 would certainly
not be too high price to pay for the superior
animal which could be used for number of
years. Increase the number of COWS served
and the difference in price between the off,
spring of both sorts of sires, and the real
value of the better beast is increased proper.
tionately. The same rule, of course, applies
to COWS bought for the purpose Of breeding
high priced bulls and heifer calves.--Rurat

KEEPING THE HEAD CLEAN.-A distin-
guished physician, who had spent much time
at quarantine, said that person whose head
was thoroughly washed every day, rarely took
contagious diseases but where the hair was
allowed to become dirty. and matted, it was
hardly possible to escape infection. Many
people ind speedy relief for sick headache
by washing the hair thoroughly in weak soda
water. have known severe cases almost
wholly cured in ten minutes by this simple
remedy. A friend finds it the greatest relief
in cases of "rare colds" the cold symptoms
entirely leaving the eyes and nose after one
thorough washing of the hair. The head
should be thoroughly dried afterwards, and
not exposed to draught of air for little
while.

A CUNNING Fox.-The fox is said to be
the most sagacious Of all animals, and the
following proves the remark to be correct !:
A party of fox-hunters recently started q
fox near a railroad in England. The hun.
ters noticed that the chase kept along the
railroad, but didn't. suppose that the fox
had any purpose in view in thus hugging
the track. But the fox had purpose,
and he knew what he was about. Just
as a locomotive swept along be bounded
across the track 10 front of the train, and
several of the dogs that tried to follow were
struck by the locomotive. land killed. In
making mention of the incident, London
paper says that English fox-hunters regard it

IHE AVERAGE MINBTER.-Ghere ls no
class of men for whom have so much re.
spect and affection as for average ministers of
the gospeL They, are'notS sustained in their
labors by popular applause and newspaper
puffs, but by the love for Christ and the
souls of men. They are patient, persevering
and selfdenyng. They endure as seeing Him
who is invisible. They lay foundations for
others to build upon. They do not estimate
themselves at so many thousands year, but
are willing to work, even though poorly paid
and not highly esteemed of men, knowing
that their reward is in heaven. 1t is these
average ministers who have extended the
Church over this broad continent, and estab-
lshed missionary stations around the world.
Let US honor them as God does. Let US not

TO BUSINESS MEN-Every business man
and mechanic, who has a proper appreciation
of the true mode of doing business, ought to
have impressed upon his memory the fact that
no man: should be delicate, about asking for
what is properly his due. If he neglects do.
ing so, he is deficient ia the spirit of indepen-
dence which he should observein all his ac-
tions. Rights are rights, and if not granted
should be demanded. The selfish world is
little inclined to give him his own, unless he
have the manliness to claim.it. The lack Of
proper ful6llment of this principle has lost to
many, fortune, fame and reputation. Occa-
sionally customer, who is less gentleman
than an upstart, puts on naughty airs and at.
fects to be insulted at being dunned for mon
ey that he ought to have paid long before.
No matter. The laborer is worthy Of his
hire. We know it is unpleasant to be dunned
and equally unpleasant to dun other people:
nevertheless, circumstances sometimes require
that we submit to both but We would be sor-
~ to get "wrathy" at man because he asked
US for his own, and think man very small
potatoes, who will fly in a passion when we
demand small bill.-Athens Herald.
LONG CoURTsH1Ps. a certain
point there is no progress in courtship. When
the parties to the affair have arrived at the
conviction that they were "made for each
other,' and cannot be happy apart, the soon.
er they become zone and inseparable" the
better. Antenuptial affection is as mobile as
quicksilver, and when it has reached its high.
est point, the safest policy is to merge it into
matrimonial bliss. Otherwise, it may retro
grade. Very long courtships often end in
backout on one side or the other-the retiring
party being in most cases "inconstant man."
And We would hint to that unreliable being
that he has no right to dangle after an esti
mable woman for years without any fixed in
tention of marrying her. The best thing
lady can do under such circumstances is to
bring matters to focus, by asking the point
nopoint gentleman auhat he means and when :
She can either do that or dismiss him alto.
gether. Perhaps the latter plan would in
most instances be the better one; for a man
who is slow to matrimony is generally slow in
all the concerns of life.

The GAIN OF SUNDAY REsT.-Of course
I do not mean that man will not produce
more in week by working seven days than
by working six days. But I very much doubt
whether, at the end Of the year, he will gen.
orally produce more by working seven days
in week, than by working six days in a
week. The natural difference between Cam.
pania and spitzbergen istrfing, when; COM
pared with The difference between q country
inhabited BY men full Of bodily and men,
tai vigor, and country inhabited by men
sunk in bodily and mental decrepitude.
Therefore, it is that we are not poorer, but
richer, because we have through many ages
rested from our labors one day in seven.
The day is not lost. While industry is sus-
pended, while the plow lies in the furrow,
while the exchange is silent, while no smoke
ascends from the factory, process is going
on quite as important to the wealth of the
nation as the work which is performed on
more busy days: Mantle machine of ma.

REDEEMING A NoTE.--The Okoloma,
(Miss.) News tells the following story:
"Old P is well known in some parts as one
who never pays debt if it can be avoided.
Has plenty Of money, and is a jolly rollicking
old chap. Gets pretty drunk occasionally,
when, of course, some friend takes care of him.
A few days since he fell into the hands of a
friend who held his note for a sum of money,
and as it was the last chance, the friend dived
into old P.'s wallet, took out ths amount of
the note, and put the note where the money
had been.
When he awoke to consciousness, as was his
wont, he took out his wallet to count how
much money he was out. Finding his purse
almost depleted, he thundered:
"How in the deuce did I spend so much
money ?"
"You paid off that note I held" answered
the friend
"Well," muttered old P, quietly slowing
away his wallet, 81 must have been very
drunk"

Cor THE BEST OF H1M.-The elder Judge
Burnside presided in one of the Courts Of
Pennsylvania when the memorable case OF
Parsons vs. Parsons was on trial. James Pet
riken, Esq, was one of the counsel, assisted
by James T. Hale, Esq. Hale was speaking,
and having made strong point, which the
Court challenged, he said he could sustain it
by citation of cases from the books, but he
had left them at his Office close by.
"Why did you not bring your books here p
asked the Judge.
Because considered the point so plain as
not to need the support of other cases but 1
will step over and get the books"
As Mr.. Hale left the house, the Judge, in
pet, said:
"That man reminds me of carpenter who
came to work for me, and left all his tools at
home. This Court has forgotten more law
than that young man knows"
"That," said Mr.. Petriken, els Just what we
complain of-that your honor has forgotten
too mnch!'
