THE PATH OF THE 1NcExD1AEY.

This was the charming situation ap-
pertaining to Mrs. Harris or to the COM
munity in which she lived, when Sher-
man began his march from Savannah
through South Carolina. 1t suited his
plans to cross the liver at the old and
historic Sisters Jerry, and from thence
his march led him directly and at once
through tn earthly Eden have refer
red to. As have not described that, l
Will not attempt the more difficult task
of describing the wholesale and indIs-
criminate destruction by fire and pillage
of all that was good, beautiful or valu-
able in that community. The mansions
OF the rich, the cottages of the poor,
and the cabins Of the slaves, were alike
destroyed, with their contents. What
could not be des royed was appropriated
and the rich and the poor were alike
left without food. shelter. or the work
animals with which to acquire the one
or construct the other. The destruc-
tive march of Sherman through South
CarolIna has been so well and often de-
seribed, it would be worse than super
HuouS TO comment uponit.
DEsoLATE OLD AGE.
From the preceding narrative, it will
already be understood that Mrs. Harris
in her old age, was left by Sherman,
homeless and destitute, with no blood
relation any nearer than the distant
and antagonistic State of Connecticut.
No friend in the neighborhood was able
to relieve her, and she made her way to
the nearest part OF Georgia that Sner-
man had spared, where she found an
abiding place with one of the descend
ants of the friends OF her youth. There
a nephew of her deceased husband, the
Reverend Franklin Harris, went for
her and brought her to his home in
Atlanta, In the course Of 2 few years
he died, and thus the last linz in the
way of a relative had been broken, and
the old lady felt very desolate. By this
time she was eighty-two years OF age.
and she cou do nothing but look with
an earnest and constant longing over
the hills in the direction of her old
home, and have her heart go out with
every train she saw go in that direction.

PLANTATION LIFE.

The home of Mrs. Harris was in tho
centre Of one of the richest plantation
sections in the State of South Carolina.
A large area of the land was suitable to
the production of cotton. The inven-
ton of the cotton gin of steam naviga-
ton on the river, the cheapness of labor
and work animals started those enter
prising and energetic planters on a ca
reer OF prosperity that soon made them
them nearly all wealthy. So rich were
they in lands and negroes that the
planter who did not own more than a
hundred negroes considered himself
poor. Education. intelligence, refine
ment and luxury followed in the foot
steps of wealth, until for many miles in
every direction there we're places like
mansions. furnished in the grandest and
coStlitSt style. In these a generous and
luxurious hospitality was so constant as
to become the daily routine. These
people having wealth neces sariIy had
leisure. This leisure they employed in
making each other happy and in beau
tifying their homes and grounds. They
or their ancestors had lived so long in
one neighborhood. from marriage and
intrrmarriage, they were nearly al, re
lated to each other by blood or affinity.
The community presented picture of
contentment seldom found in any civil
lizGtion outside of that which rested on
a foundation of fertile lands and do
mestic slavery.

"nIonor 10 whom Honor is

"lIOnOr 10 Whom Honor is
Due. ''-Jefferson county not only has
men of princely wealth, social position
and political fame, but also of genius.
One of such men of genius, of which we
Justly feel proud, is Elisha 8. Snyder, of
Snyder's Mills. Mr.. Snyder has de-
voted good part Of his long and useful
life to inventing labor.s saving machine
ry. He was also the first man to invent
threshing machine with a cleaner COM
bined. He has also invented a reaper
knife with from four TO six cutting
ed ges-a marvel in its way-and large
number of other things, such as a cur
rycomb, a device for tightening the tire
of a wheel without cutting ana welding
it, circular motion without a crank,
and other things, on which he has as
yet taken no patent. On the 3Oth OF
November last, he was granted patent
on an msertible SAFE tooth for circular
and upright saws. This last invention
is one Of the best, if not the rery best for
its purpose that has ever been invented,
and he will surely reap large profits
from it's sale. Manufacturers of saws
cannot, we are sure, do better than to
put themselves in communication with
Mr.. Snyder and secure from him the
right to manufacture and sell the same.

The Insane AsyIum.-The bien-
nial report Of the Superintendent of the
State Hospital for the Insane AT Weston
has lust been issued. The whole num-
Der OF patients treated within the year
ending September Both, 1886. was 7Ss.
The lowest number under treatment at
any one time was 673. The number dis
charged during the year was ll2. The
number admitted during the year was
l04. The number cured was 81; num-
Der on bond 10; number that died 81.
The cost for each patient per week aver
aged $2.07. The new addition 10 the
asylum will not be completed till in
January 1887. 1t will accommodate l50
patients. But still there is not enough
room and DIR. Bland recommends that
two stories be added to the southern
wing of the asylum. Something will
have to be done soon % relieve the un-
fortunate insane who are languishing in
the jails Of the State.
