How Carolina Became a Rice State.

Dr. Eggleston's paper in the January
Century, on ''Husbandry in Colony
Times is one of the most important
and interesting in his series of histori-
cal sketches. OF rice culture, he says.
1.-THE destiny of South Carolina was
changed by single lucky experiment.
In 1896, when the colony was more
than thirty years old, the pioneers were
still engaged in buying furs from the
Indians, extracting rosin, tar, and tur-
pentine from tho pines, cutting timber
for shipment, and growing slender har-
vests of grain on the light soil along
the coast. Attempts had already been
made TO grow indigo, ginger, and cot
ton; but these had not answered expec-
tation. A small and Improbable kind
of rice had also been tried in 1888.
But one Thomas Smith thought that a
patch of wet land at the back of his
garden in Charleston resembled the
soil he had seen bearing rice in NADIA
gascar. 1t CHANGED in 1896. that a
brigantine from that island anchored
in distress near Sullivan's Island, and
the captain, an old friend of this enter
prising Thomas Smith. was able to fur
nish him bag of Madagascar rice suit
able for seed. 1t grew luxuriantly in
the wet corner of the garden. and the
seed from this little harvest was widely
distributed. In three or four wears the
art Of husking the rice was learned.
African slaves were easily procured in
the West Indies, and the face of socie-
ty in the young State was presently
changed. South Carolina became a
land of great planters and of a multi
tude OF toiling negroes. Smith was
raised TO the rank of landgrave, and
made governor of the colony three
years after the success of his rice-patch.
The new grain was at first grown on
uplands; but the planters afterward
discovered that the neglected swamps
were more congenial and less exhausti-
BILE. The cruelty hard labor of separa-
ting the grains from the adhcring husks
crippled the strength and even checked
the increase of the negroes; but in the
years just preceding the Revolution
this task came to be performed with
mills driven by the force of the incom-
Ing and outgoing tides. or turned by
horses or oxen. A hundred and forty
thousand barrels of Carolina rice, of
four or five hundred weight apiece,
were annually exported before the war
OF independence Through the example
OF governor OF Georgia, the culture OF
rice spread into that colony, and COM
pleted the ruin OF the silk business"

A japanese Dinner.

a correspondent having dined sulnp.
tuously with distinguished Japanese
in Japan, thus describes the banquet:
ut seems that there had been special
effort to make the meal as American as
possible in my honor, and SO an EMU
meraton of the dishes is not a fair ex-
ample of japanese diet. which is really
so simple that it does not afford sufii-
Gent nourishment for tourist from
Europe or America. Here is some
what comprehensive list of the dishes,
made ont with the assistance of my
friends memory, and An occasiona.
draught upon my fertile Imagination:
A soup, unfathomable, incomprehen-
sible, intangible all kinds OF fish. from
fried sea serpent to boiled whale; four
varieties of sea weed, that seemed to
have antipathy for the human stomach,
and writhed in their journey to the
mouth; green ginger, prawns, fish CAKE
alleged pounded chicken. chestnutS,
sweet potatoes. rice, mushrooms, rice,
lily seeds, plums, rice, some salads that
defy classification or analysis, and rice;
also some rice. But pray do not smack
your lips or labor under the delusion
that my appetite was appeased. 1t
was not, The saki was served hot,
cups of the liquid being placed about a
foot in front of us on the floor. There
did not appear to be that chasm be-
tween our host and his attendants
which is so common in the United
States. The extravagant obeisances
aud smiling protestations produced the
impression of familiarity. As for the
etiquette governing the whole meal, it
was too complicated to justify any at
tempt at description. The hardest part
of the entertainment was the constant
struggle in search of a comfortable
place for bestowing my arms and legs,
since the meal was very protracted
one, This difficulty was helped, how
ever, by the strolls in the garden and
smoking at intervals which occurred
between the courses"

How Fitch Proposed.

The story about A. I. Stewards first
love and how he won her from "Galfer
Clinch. the ship builder" reminds us
of the way in which General Sherman
answered Mr.. Fitch when he addressed
Miss Minnie. He was then only a
young assistant engineer "a position
equal to ensign in the line) but love
laughs at locksmiths, rank and fortune,
and he was so thoroughly in love he
took himself to the general without
hesitation, and asked permission to ad-
dress his daughter,
want to marry my daughter, do
you? God bless my SOUL What do
you want to do that for?'
Mr. Fitch modestly urged his affec-
ton, adding the pleas usual to such &C.
casions.
The general sat thinking, his face al.
ternately softening and frowning as he
thought of his daughter and the pre-
sumptuous youth who wanted to take
her away from home and kindred. Sud-
denly he turned on his audience of one
and sternly asked--you can imagine
how he did it:
Young man! what can you doP"
make an engine and put it together
as well as any man in the country"
He almost shouted in answer, for he
was nervous and feared refusal.
Good" said the general. you
can have her, my boy. - Washington
