DEAN RICHMOND AND HIS

Dean Richmond had an office in Buffa-

was scribbling away-you know he wrote
hand in comparison with which Horace
Greeley's writing was like print-a fellow
that had lot of shingles piled up at a
station fifty or sixty miles down the
Central, walked in. Dean looked up
and asked:

"Well you go back home, and when |

"About three months afterward the
single man wanted to 60 to Albany for
something or other, and wrote to Dean

single speculator supposed it was Deans
way of making out a pass, so he took the
train for Albany, and presented it to the
conductor, who glanced at it, said All

sir, he travelled for weeks on that piece
of paper, until one day he landed in
Buffalo again. Passing Richmond's
Office, be thought he'd drop in and

"Wby that pass you sent me month

Yes you did; here it isl said the

Old Dean took it. studied over it a
minute, got purple in the face, and
shouted in voice trembling with anger:

of scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about
five years age. From few spots which ap-

terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when
he began using your medicine. Now, there are

FRUIT AND THE CHoLERA.-Itis to be
feared that the report industriously circu-
lated that the cholera at Toulon origin
ated With the free eating on the part Of
some of the population OF unripe april
cots, may lead to a fanatical outcry
against the eating of fruit in any form
during the present season. There is no
proof that unripe fruit bad any COLI
nection with the cholera outbreak at
Toulon, and it does not seem certain
whether the disease prevalent is of the
dread Asiatic form, or is of the sporadic
order. Fruit growers will do well to
send to market only ripe fruit, and that
which is in perfectly sound state. 1t
is not, however, so much from the grow
ers that any danger of that kind will
arise. 1t is rather from dealers who are
not too careful as to the places in which
condition in which it may be. However,
fruit is perhaps less injurious, if at all,
when sound than many other articles of
food, and rightly used may help to pro-
mote the public health rather than bring
it to any danger.-Gardner's Chronicle.
OUR STANDARD BEARERS. -Nothing
can be of more general interest at this
moment than information relative to our
candidates. There is no denying the
fact that Blaine and Logan now hold the
highest place in the consideration of
their countrymeD. 1t adds not a little
to the interest of the present campaign
that several olives" of the Republican
standard-bearers have been written and
given to the public. Foremost among
the work produced by Professor John
Clark Ridpath. It is undoubtedly bet
ter written, more ample in its scope, tru-
er to fact, of better literary style, more
comprehensive and valuable in every
respect, than any of the competing pub
locations. Professor Ridpath,s volume,
entitled '"The Lives of Blaine and Lo-
gam is now about to be issued from the
press of Jones Bros. & Co., of Chicago;
and from what we know of the merits Of
the work-judging from advanced sheets
and discriminating reviews of the book
we do not hesitate to say to our readers
that thew should procure copy OF the
work in preference to any other. The
book will we'll repay perusal, and will
prove to be permanent acquisition to
the library.
LEBoUCHERE's SKETCH OF EyANGE-
LIST MooDY.-LoNDoN, July 16.-The
celebrity chosen by Mr.. Labouchere for
dissection in the current number of
Truth, is Dwight L. Moody, the Ameri-
can evangelist, who is now on the ocean
ON his way to New York. Mr.. Moody's
career is briefly sketched from the time
he was clerk in a Chicago furniture
store, and the energetic Superintendent
of 6 Sunday school in an unused rail-
road depot in what was then almost a
bowling waste on the west side of the
Chicago river, to the present moment,
when he is one of the most famous and
effective pulpit orators in the world. The
article is on the whole laudatory, and in
summing UP Mr.. Moody's qualities and
attachments the writer finds that ne has
displayed prodigioas amount OF shrewd-
ness, and degree of commo nsense al
most amounting to genius. The article
concludes With the declaration that II

as plausible explanation that some one

Well that is right. A man ought to

what he did when he was little boy,
and he ought to frolic with them and all

yesterday to attend the Woman Suffrage
Convention, is reported as saying in an

Proposed Road to Aiken from Green.
wood via Edgefleld C.. n.
From Edgefeld Advertiser.l

GREENvILLE, Aug, 23, 1884.
Dr.. p. H. adams: =.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 7th
instant is received. have been absent
from Greenville for some time hence
the delay in my reply. The railroad
project you refer to, has been brought
to my attention before. see no seri-
Gus objection to its development |
think that the Northern portion of
Edgefield County needs Railroad facili-
ties more than any section Of the State.
The County is almost surrounded by
railroads, yet none penetrate The best
portion Of her territory, The Carolina
& Cumberland Cap Railroad would
have divided the County, but its fnan-
cial condition is not promising, and its
construction may be delayed for long
time.
am not personally familiar with q
large portion Of the route you have
marked out. but as it follows the general
course of the streams and ridges, it's
construction mast be easy. My old
survey from DR.. Strom's to Edgcfeld,
was light, with the exception of mile
or two ut the crossing Of Turkey Greek.
Greenwood is destined to become an
important distributing point, if her citi-
zens would use the proper excrtions.
Superior advantages have already been
given to her by competing roads, and
the construction Of one or two moro in
dependent lines would secure such CON-
petition in the matter Of freights that
she could afford to undersell any point
in the State.
AS regards the other terminal point in
your proposed line, l need only say
that Edgefield c. H., is the only County
Seat, with one exception, in the State,
that has not railroad and telegraphic
communication with the outer world.
You ask if can make the survey
from Greenwood to DR.. Strom's, or some
point in the locality. In reply l would
say that my duties on tho Greenvillc r
Laurens Railroad keep me closely con-
fined, and will continue to do so until
the completion Of the grading, which
will be some time between the lst and
10th OF October next. If this will suit,
L will do it. If you wish it done SOON
er, will send my principal Assistant
Engineer, with my corps, some time
next month. ] will ride over the entire
line with him, marking out the course
and giving general instructions as to the
conduct Of the work.
You ask what such survey will cost.
Engineers are paid entirely by salaries ;
and the time consumed is propertionate
to the difficulties Of the route. The
usual cost Of corps is 1900 per month.
varying slightly with the cost of
provisions and the price Of labor.
do not think it will take more than two
weeks to run the line you speak Of.
You can communicate further with
me on the matter. am frequently alb
sent for days, but this is my p. o., and
] am here at intervals.
Yours Truly,

A correspondent Of the Lnurensville

pleased to see Mr.. Wash Boazman, who
was so badly crippled by the cyclone
which demolished Chappells in Februa-
ary last. He had a cat that stayed
about the Office with him before the cy-
clone, and he saw it some days after
wandering around like it was looking for
his Office, but every time it hears the
train coming it bristles up and make
for the swamps; it seema to be expect
ing another storm.

have their attention for little while at
least
"How did you manage it ?'' asked the
liscner, with eager curiosity. ''.
''In this way" replied the preacher,
81 began a series Of what call back
seat sermons. They don't differ materi-
ally from other sermons, except at GER
tain intervals, which mark l shout out
with great force, Young man = and then
pause As if for rhetorical effect. The
effect is rhetorical merely on the front
seat congregation, but electrical on the
back seat congregation. The young
men who have been devoting their entire
attention to exploring ,thesliquid depths
Of their sweetheart's eyes give start
and their fair companionssdo, the same,
and every face on the back seats is turn
ed toward me. IN their'sailty self-con-
sciousness Of using tho church" to do
their courting in, they think that they
are being personally rebuked from the
pulpit. While have their attention
improve the opportunity by pouring out
some gospel hot shot. However US soon
as the first shock is over, and they have
glanced around and found everything
quiet, they fall to counting again with
renewed vigor. Then I come at them
again, and suddenly shout out Young
woman with the same effect as before
and the same pouring out of Gospel
truth. So, you see, in this way gain
the attention of my audience for a few
brief minutes At least"
The reporter gaxed with admiration
upon man who had contrived such an
ingenious device, but then \ thought oc-
CURED and he said {: II should think
that the young people, after few such
shocks as you describe, would prefer to
go to some other church,"
90 they DON'T" he replied, with a
satisfied smile. "They seem to like it..
1t gives spice of danger and adventure
in their counting, as il some emo was try
ing to separate them. Since began
these sermons this element in tho even.
ing congregations has actually increased.
You zee they are obliged to hear some of
the sermon ; and their attention being
aroused so suddenly, what they hear is
impressed on their minds, and they re-
member it. From this circumstance,
which is entirely novel in their expert
ence, they get the idea that am very
powerful preacher, and my fame has
very considerably increased"
"Do you announce your sermon as
the back seat course {? inquired the
reporter as he arose to 20.
"Oh, no." replied the preacher, II call
them Talks to the Young or some
thing Of that sort. You must come
around and hear me some evening" ;"
And the reporter promised that he
would.
