A Wonderful Clock,

Boston Globe.
 MT. s. Holton, a jeweler and watchmaker of MIddlebury, Vt., has recently constructed d curious clock 7, which acts out to perfection the as sassination of President Garfield The machine is a common cuckoo clock, under which is q miniature depot. At the window is q ticket agent dealing out tickets, while at another telegraph operator is seen busy at his work, and truckmen, p0rters, train despatchers, etc., are all flying around as natural as life. All of these figures are of wood, about two inches long. At the end of each hour the cuckoo announces the fact, and immediately Garfield appears on the platform on which the scene is enacted, accompanied by Mr. Blaine. Guiteau is seen to follow him, having just alighted from q truck wagon, and as he fires at the President the latter falls. Just then a train of cars come flashing in, and in the confusion all the principal actors are carried into the depot out of sight After the train despatch CT has given the signal and the train has gone, small door at the left opens and q priest appears, book in hand, in the act of reading a funeral service, while at the same time another door at the right opens and Guteau appears on the gallows. The priest retircs. and shortly after the gallows disappear with Guiteau, and the doors close. This is acted out at the end of each hour, and lakes nhnnt three minutes.

INCENDIARI FIRE.
Cinhouse Burned-A Large Quantity OF
Wheat and Oats Consumed-Ihe
IncendiarY in Jail.

Mrs. Elizabeth L. Spearman. an ex'
cellent widow lady living near Silver
Street, in this County, met with the
misfortune last Thursday night, 9th
ultimo, of having her ginhouse burned
down. The FIRE started in two-story
cow-honse and barn adjoining the gin.
house. between sundown and dark, and
spread so rapidly that nothing could be
done 10 check the flames. Both build
ings were burned down in very short
time, making tremendous blaze that
threatened every house on the place
Only the dam oness Of the other build
ings prevented general conflagratlon.
The stables caught on top several times
and blazed up, but were saved by naro
work. In the ginhouse were two hun
dred bushels of wheat and four hundred
bushels of oats. and all the straw from
the wheat and oats. Nothing WAS saved.
The total loss is about $4,000; no in
surance.
Friday morning Mr.. Jno. A: Weris
and others of the neighborhood started
out to search for the incendiary. They
found y track at the point where the
fire began; it was very large, and was
made by an old shoe out cf which the
toes protruded. The track was follow
ed about mile until it came to the
house of Charles Williams, alias Spear
man, on MIR. Jacob Crouch's plantation.
Williams foot corresponded in every
particular with the track. He was ar
rested on the charge Of arson, was car
ried before Trial Justice Warren 6: Pc
terson, and was by him committed to
Jail to await the action Of the Grand
Jury. He is large black negro about
thirty-fve years old, is a worthless
scamp, working nowhere and stealing
promiscuously. In looking about for a
probable cause for bis act-if be be gull
ty-we learn that some time ago Mrs.
Spearman caught Williams stealing her
peaches, and spoke to him about it:
Afterwards she caught him again, and
to frighten him fired off gun. He
seems TO have acted from. a spirit OF re-
venge. The negro is rather weak
minded.

"Pen Pictures"
By Mr.. Bacon, of the Edgeiled Id
Uertiser.
The Eigefcld Adrerttser of last week
contains the following glowing sketches
of some of the preachers at the Emory
Church Conference:
JOHN KELLY-And there was John
Kelly ponderous, expansive, emotion
al, humorous, eruptivc, known and
loved Of all Southern Melbodists from
the Atlantic 10 the Pacific slope. And
not only known and loved, but petted.
We had not seen him for many years,
and, like everybody else, we hailed
him with sort of inde6nable enthusi-
asm. He preached the morning SER
mon on Friday-the unfathomable
height and depth and length and
breadth of the great Atonement. And
as he stretched forth his mighty arms
east and west, and thuudered out in
burning words the illimitable power OF
the blood of Christ, the man actually
seemed to rs as typical Of his great
subject. But John Kelly is principally
mighty in eruption. Ever and anon he
will jump up suddenly and 'erupt' like
a gigantic volcano and then subside.
And in bis eruptions there is invariably
something of force, meaning and orig
inality. At present he is on the Cokes-
bury Circuit. with his home at Green
wood.
The REV. Il D. SMART.-Shall we
speak of this reverend gentleman as
the flower of the Methodist clergy OF
South Carolina? We are very much
inclined to do so. He is young, grace
ful, polished, and Of a type of manly
and intellectual beauty that almost
equals the ancient Greek ideal. Purity
of diction, a chastened and rich inlagi-
nation. the selectest vocabulary. the
most delicate taste, the most refined
sensibility, a firm grasp of theology in
its manifold details, an ear and voice
attuned to the softest harmonies, q COM
mand over every form of metre, a
smocthnesS and sweetness of style
eqnaled by few-these, as they appear
to US, are the marked and manifold
excellencies CT this young and gifted
man. And withal he is earnest and
humble, and jealous, and courteous.
He is stationed at present in Newberry
OLD UNCLE MARK BoYD.-And
there too was old uncle Mark Boyd,
whom Edgefeld and Newberry par
ticularly revere. And at eighty years
of age he is still happy and hopeful.
because throughout bis long and useful
life be has been obedient to the law.

A Matinee Performance

Came off at the Opera House Monday
morning, in which Hampton Delaney,
juvenile darkey, played the leading
part. Hampton went into Capt. Gary's
yard Sunday and stole chicken. and
the police took him in. Monday be was
tried before the Mayor. and was SEN
fenced to So or ten days in the Guard
House. Hampton not having the re-
quisite cash, and being averse to soll-
tude, volunteered to take good whal-
ing from bis grandmother instead; to
which proposition the Mayor readily
agreed. Two policemen held Hamp-
ton, while bis maternal ancestor piled
the strap, which she did with so much
earnest vigor that upon the third stroke
be yelled out. For Gods sake, put me
in the Guard House" But he was held
to bis bargain; and while the old lady
piled the strap he made the welkin
ring. When she got through with him
he was undoubtedly the best whipped
boy in Newberry.

Then and Now.

l nSil diiN NSU'
A big fruit crop like the present would
ten years ago have been converted prin-
cipally into apple and peach brandy.
We all remember the numerous still
houses that were scattered throughout
the country ten years ago. to which
peaches and apples were hauled by the
wagon-loads from miles around; and
we remember what curse these places
were to every neighborhood in which
they were located. The writer Of this
distinctly remembers one where three
men, who up to that time had been use
ful and respected citizens. drank them
selves to death This Year the fruit is
being preserved in harmless way, and
in way that contributes to pleasure
and economy: it is being canned and
dried. This we consider an evidence
of the improvement in the morals OF
the people. 4 still-house would not be
tolerated, much less patroaized. in
many sections Of the State to-day.

difficulty that we threaded our way
through the merry mazes Of young men
and maidens rapidly and in most in
stances gracefully gliding over the
floor. 1t was pretty sight, as seated
among the wall flowers" we watched
the happy throng. The constant, un-
ceasing roar reminded US Of the break
ers on a lee shore until the Sudden slap
slap of some unlucky fellow whose feet
would for a moment get away from him
and as quickly come down again. would
bring us back to the reality that the
sound was made by the "skeeters,:: as. a
good friend calls them, and not By the
