South Cardinals Cold Day.

An old resident of Charleston. s. c..
after reading the notices occasioned by
the cold snap, writes as follows from
Canada: ''The Oldest inhabitant must
have got so old rs to have lost his
memory, or he could not say that 10
degrees above zero was the coolest
weather experienced in Charleston in
the last 1870 years. There must be at
least hundred persons now living in
Charleston who were there in Februa-
ry, 1885, when the thermometer fell to
zero. | happened not to be there NY
self on the day of intensest cold, for
had gone the day before on business to
Cooper river, and there | had very
good opportunity of judging of the
cold, AT the plantation where / was a
guest, thermometer, in n passage
opening on two rooms with fires, stood
at 10 degrees above zero at 10 o'clock
a, M. My brother and other men,
bers OF the family saw it at zero in
Charleston, and Gen. Hayne, who was
at q little place he had three or four
miles below Goose creek bridge, had a
seli-registering thermometer which
registered zero. Our Cousin p, who
was then living at st. Augustine, where
saw him soon after, told me that tho
thermometer there had fallen to 8 de-
grees above zero, and know that all
the orange trees there were killed, and
also for at least fifty miles south of
that place, and many saw trees along
the coast, which must have been at
least hundred years old, which were
all killed. If it was degrees at st.
Augustine it could not well have been
above zero in Charleston, according to
the usual proportion. Not only ali of
the orange trees, but all of the flo trees
in Charleston were killed, a thing
which had never happened before in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
SO remarkable departure from the
ordinary course of nature set people
looking back to discover whether any
thing like it had ever happened before,
and it was found by reference to 'Chal-
mers' Notes on South Carolina that
once about ninety years before the
thermometer had fallen to 5 or de-
grees above zero"

Valentine Baker.

Valentine Baker is the man charged
with somewhat mild assault-but new
ertheless an assault-on respectable
young woman, in one of the apart
ments of an English railway train
The young woman defended herself
successfully, and called the guard at
the first opportunity, though it was
evident at the moment that the vio-
lence had ceased, not to be resumed.
Baker made not the slightest defence
in the subsequent trial. He was evil
IDENTITY utterly overwhelmed with
shame. The usual way in these cases
at least the American ways to try
to destroy the character of the com
plainant. This Baker would not per-
nit; nor would he permit anything to
be said in his own behalf. The proba-
bility is that he was intoxicated at tho
time of the assault and had formed a
wrong opinion of the woman's charac-
ter. However that may be, he accep-
ted his conviction and punishment as
patiently as possible, and his dismissal
from the clubs to which he belonged in
the same way He crept out of Lon
don, and there is every reason to be-
Heve that his life since then has been
devoted to the redemption of his char
acter No drawer man lives. There is
probably not in the world more con-
scientious commanding officer There
is no position of danger TO which his
duty calls him that he is 10th to ac-
cept He has the confidence of his
government. and in leading the forlorn
hope of the Soudan he almost inevita-
bly, goes to his death. -NeW York

Cheap Homes
ARKANSAS AND TEXAS.

Along the line of the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern Railway, Texas and
Pacific Railway and international and
Great Northern Railroad, are thousands of
acres Of the choicest farming and grazing
lands in the world, ranging in price from
$500 to $500 and $500 per acre, in a
healthy country, with climate unsurpassed
for salubrity and comfort. Send your ad-
dress to the undersigned for copy of sta
tistics of crops raised in Arkansas and Texas,
in 1882, and make up your mind to go and
see for yourself when you learn that the crop
for 1888 is so per cent larger than that of
1882. To those purchasing land owned by
the Company, and paying one.fourth, one.
half, or all cash, a proportionate rebate is
allowed formoney paid for tickets or freight

AS matter of fact, nobody ever
makes larger allowances for other peo-
pie, in the estimate of their veracity,
than the scientific inquirer. Knowing
himself, by painful experience, how ex-
tremely difficult matter it is to make
perfectly sure you have observed any
lhing on earth quite correctly, and have
eliminated all possible chances of error,
ne acquires the fixed habit Of doubling
about one-half of what his fellow crea-
lures tell him in ordinary conversation,
without for a single moment venturing
10 suspect them of deliberate untruth-
lulness. Children and servants, if they
md anything they have been told is
erroneous, Immediately jump at the
conclusion that the person who told
them meant deliberately to deceive
them. In their own simple and cate
goCrlcal fashion they answer plumply:
That's lie" But the man of science
Is only too well acquainted in his own
person with the exceeding difficulty of
ever getting at the exact truth He
has spent hours of toll, himself, in
watching and observing the behavior of
some plant, or animal, or gas, or metal;
and, after repeated experiments, care
FULLY designed TO exclude all possibility
OF mistake, so far as he can foresee it,
he at last believes he has really settled
some mooted point, and triumphantly
publishes his final conclusions in a
scientific journal. Ten to one, the very
next number of that same journal con-
a!ns dozen supercilious letters from
dozen learned and high-salaried pro.

Premiums for Learning Farming.

A very brisk and lucrative business
has been transacted by several English
firms in securing places for young men
to learn farming in Canada and several
of the western states Their plan is to
exact q considerable fee for obtaining
for them situation to work for moth
ing, or for merely nominal price, on
some farm, that they may learn the
business. The public has been warned
against these agencies by several per-
sons who have returned to England.
One of them writes as follows to n Lon
don paper: II know several who have
gone out, paying premium of about
f70, and when they have tried the
work found that their health would not
stand it, and these have procured less
laborious occupations, but they have
been unsuccessful in getting the pre-
MUM returned. | know one young
man who paid go to an agency in this
country When he arrived at his des-
tination in America he was sick, and a
doctor who attended him told him that
he would not be able TO stand the work
of farm. He obtained other employ
ment entirely without the agency's aid
and all he could get returned was 920.
There is no such thing as farm pu-
pill in America, and the young man
who goes out through one of these
agencies has to work much harder than
a common laborer in this country. Sew
eral farmers over there have made this
remark to me: ''What fools these young
Englishmen are to pay any money to
firms in England to come out here to
learn farming; they can always get
work without paying q premium, and
n better salary, too" The agencies
charge from ESQ to f100. This does
not include the passage or any other
expenses, but is simply the premium.
Of this they give the farmer, as rule,
one-fourth, and two agents-one at the
port in America, and one at the desti-
nation of the pupil-about one-tenth
between them. The remainder they
keep themselves. In my opinion, it
would be much better for young man
to 60 out on his own account, and take
about fl5 or ego in his pocket and /
am convinced, by many cases l have
seen, that he would obtain profitable
employment long ere this amount was
expended. Or, again, there are often
gentlemen going out who know the
well, and who would, for @
small sum to cover expenses, take
charge OF young men on the voyage
and journey, and guard them against
sharpers, who are often found on ocean
steamers and American railway cars,
and also tell them the best places for
obtaining employment in different oc-
equations when they are out there.
Either let young man 60 out on his
own account, or send him out with some
gentleman who knows the country.
But to pay premium to a firm in En-
gland, when the farmer will pay a good
salary without receiving penny, is
simply throwing money away. The
one who does pay premium will find
that he does not get nearly so much
pay as the one who does not; and if the
money was sent out to him afterwards,
to enable him to start for himself, it
would be well invested and not thrown
away
