BARrLEY CAMPELL.-While in
conversation with gentleman who
claims to have known BARLEY Camp
bell from boyhood, he told the fol-
lowing story Of how the now fam
Gus dramatist came to take up jour.
nalism and playwriting:
BARLEY and l were working TO-
gether in a brickyard near Pittsburg
both at the same bench. One Of
the helpers had just bought a
fresh load of clay and deposited it
on the bench in front of US. Bart.
ley took up a handful of cold, moist
earth and commenced to work it in
his hands. Presently he stopped
and seemed lost in thought. All
at once ne dashed the clay he was
working down on the heap and look.
ing at me, said: If fever | mould
another handful of clay may the life
be squeezed ont of me-, and going
to where his coat hung on o nail
he took it down, put it on, and
started down hill. Hold on Bart.
ley said /, 'lfyou're going to quit,
| quit too, and | took my coat and
followed him. We went to the boss
and got our pay, and that afternoon
started for Pittsburg, where he OBJ
tained position on one of the pa
pers. | need not add that he never
went back to brick-making.'

Barbie went to- the house without
saying word to George.
The little boy very soon found
that he was alone, and set up loud

PEOPLE WHO NEVER EAT
BREAD.

There are civilized nations a large
proportion of whose peasantry cat
little or no bread. Baked loves of
bread are unknown in many parts
of South Austria and Of Italy
and throughout the agricultural dis
tricts of Roumania. In the villages
of the Obersteicrmark, not very
many miles from Vienna, bread is
never seen, the staple food of the
people being sterz, kind of por-
ridge made from ground beech
nuts, which is taken at breakfast
with fresh of curdled milk, at din
ner with broth or with fried lard. and
with milk again for supper. This
sterz is also known as heiden, and
takes the place of bread not only
in the Stciermark, but in Carinthia
and in many parts of the Tyrol.
In the north of Italy the peasantry
live chiefly on polenta, q porridge
made of boiled maize. The pollen
ia, however, is not allowed to gran
ulatc like Scotch porridge or like
the Austrian sterz, but is boiled in
to a solid pudding, which is cut up
and portioned out with string.
1t is eaten cold as often as hot,
and is in every sense the Italian
PEASANTS daily bread. The modern
Roumanians are held by many
scholars to be descended from a
Roman Colony, in other words to
be the cousins of the Italians; and,
curionsly enough, variation of the
polenta called mamaliga in the ma
tional dish Of Ropmania. The
mamaliga is like the polenta in that
1t is made of boiled maze, but it is
unlike the latter in one important
respect, as the grains are not allow
ed to settle into o solid mass, but
are kept distinct, after the fashion
Of oatmeal porridge.

Confidence is a plant Of slow growth.
I remember that when the news
papers first began to tell US about
a sewing machine that Elias Howe
had invented that would dc as much
work in a day as hundred women
with their needles I was incredulous
and was indignant. I did'ent be-
lieve that a machine could initiate
the nimble, delicate hands, and |
felt like ! did ent want it to do it
nohow. My good mother had been
sewing for me years and years, and
when she finished for her darling
son, a nice pleated bosom shirt, l
was proud of the shirt too. But
time rolled on and the Grover &
Baker machine got to circulating
around, and I found out that it was
a good thing and would save apow-
er of work, and so bought one for
my wife without any premonition.
What a beautiful seamtress she
was.
How nicely did she manipulate
the needle and how dearly | loved
to sit by and see her make stitch
after stitch on the muslin or calico
or them other garments and things
that women and children and in
fants had to wear. We have had
infants at our house, various in.
fants, and it has been a world of
work to keep 'em agoing and stop
'em from squalling, but still there
has been pleasure in it. My good
wife took it all naturally and like
a maternal heroine as she is. l
thought it was right funny for q
while, but the fun wore eff and I
settled down to business. We have
raised children by the dozen and by
the cord but we have never had one
come to our house that was ent vel
come, for they always come decent
ly and in good order, and they have
grown up to be good boys and bet
ter girls and gladden. our hearts
with their presence. But 1 have
got off the track of my thoughts.
l have seen the cotton picker and l
want to tell you about it.
Now dident believe that any
machine could take the place of
human fingers in sewing and just
so have been incredulous about
this cotton picking business. The
truth is | made sport of it and told
our folks that it was impossible, ut

road, the line which is now in oper-
alton from Salisbury to Waynesville,
and Warm Springs, and to point
nearly thirty miles west of Waynes-
vile on the Ducktown branch. The
engineering difficulties were i'm.
mense, but the worst of them have
been overcome and by September
l more than thirty additional miles
of road beyond Waynesyille will
have been constructed in accor-
dance with the agreement with the
State.
The obligation to build a given
number of miles of road west Of
Waynesville by September l, is, |
am informed, tn, immediate cause
of the hitherto unaccountable delay
in building the railroad from Hen
drsonville to Asheville, which, with
the exception of few miles, is
graded and ready for the ties. 1t is
intended to operate the Spartan
bug and Ashville Railroad asa part
of the Western North Carolina
Railroad, and Col. Andrews hopes
to begin work upon it this fall.
There would not be so much loss of
time, but for the imperative ne
cessity of concentrating all tie
available force, this summer, on the
Ducktown branch.
When completed, the Spartanburg
and Asheville Railroad will give US
short line to the West, via Nor
ristown, Knoxville and Jellieo, be,
sides shortening considerably the
distance by rail between the sum-
mer resorts in Western North Car
olina and the summer and winter re-
sorts at Charleston and on the South
Atlantic coast.
The failure to build the line from
Henderson to Asheville has caused
much dissatisfaction, and it is pro-
, posed to ask the Legislature of
North Carolina, this winter, to re-
peat the charter Of the road. Such
measures, it is hoped, will be rem
dered unnecessary by the eonstruc-
tion of the road during next fall and
winter. F.w.D.

SEVENTY YEARS OF PRO.
GRESS.

SIR. BEECHER GIVES THE BAPTIST
CONFERENCES SOME MEMORIES OF
HIS LIFE.
At the Baptist Conference held
in New York, Henry Ward Beech
er said:
During my journey from Am
herst to Boston, after graduating
and while on my way to Ohio, the
driver on the stage pointed out to
me a bank of earth, and said:
That's a railroad, 1 guess they call
it, That was the Boston and Wor-
cester Railway, and it was the first
l believe, with the exception Of a
small railway between Quincy and
Boston, that had ever been construc-
ted. 1t took me ten days to 60
from New York to Cincinnati. !
rode from Albany to Schenectady
with Marian Van Buren, and as
soon as it was known that we were
on board we were saluted with SAL
vos of artillery from every place
that we passed, and that will ac-
count for the fact that have been
making a noise ever since.
Looking at our railway system
for hundreds and thousands of
miles, l think tnat this iron road
has been, under God, the means Of
changing the civilization of this
country, both socially and politi-
cally, and it has had great influence
aside from it's other associations
in war and in peace.
"The most important applications
of steam have been in my time,
and to day the rivers are miserable
democrats, looked down upon by
the aristocratic steam road every
where. Then the whole telegraphic
system has been in my day, and the
telephone, which I don't yet believe
in. Although faith is the evidence
of things not seen, things heard and
not seen require more faith. Then
the development of the electrical
machinery, which has been the post
boy over land and under the sea,
and is now coming to bring light
everywhere. Then I was in COL
lege and had some love letter to
write, I could write on sheet as
big as newspaper, but if I put in
a bit of paper as large as my little
finger they charged me double
price. 1t was first rs cents, then
18 81 cents, then II 1-2 cents, and
it was great triumph when we
could send letter for 10 cents or
FIVE cents. So have seen the pro.
blem of cheap postage solved in
my time.
"The discoveries of Daguerre
have been of.great benefit in science
and art. In my own case I don't
know whether, from the represen-
tations of my own face taken when
boy, 1 am glad or not, but /
| would give all / am worth if the dis
covery had been made in my moth
er's time. Every minister should
preach to his congregation that it
is their duty to have the photograph
of each child taken once year un
til it is twenty one, and, then the
children will take care OF the matter
themselves"

THE SILVER LINING.

There's never day 80 sunny
But little cloud appears,
There's never life so happy
But has had its time OF tears;
Yet the the sun shines out the oaShter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
- ;'fprrssroi1ii11 1ii11-->f-ne t----tr
We have only to prunc rne border
TO find the forget me not.
There's never I cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never path so rugged
That bears not the prints of feet:
And we have i Helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never q sun that rises
But welknow twill set at night
The tints that gleam in the morning
At the evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never a dream OF sorrow
But the waking makes us glad:
We shall look some day with wondcr
At the troubles we have had.
There's never way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always a guide to point us
TO the ''little wicket gate;'
And the angels will be nearer
TO soul that is desolate.
There's never heart so naughty
But will some day bow and kneel;
There's never heart so wounded
That the Savior cannot heal;
There's many lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.
