The Taylor Btys.

Brother Nat, jim and |, Bob and a
title negro boy went in swimming one
Sunday morning in the mill pond near
our house, SAYS AIf Taylor Father had
told us he would whip us if we went
swimming on Sunday, but we disobeycd
him. He found it out that afternoon.
lie would not prnish us because it was
Sunday, but he took us bright and early
in the morning to the barnyard. We
knew what was coming. He took a
shingle and bored holes through it with
gimlet, and then he made us bend over
log. You can imagine the result. lie
punished Jim and Nat and me, and we
were all crying when he went to Bob,
who was leaning over the log waiting
his turn. Father raised the paddle.
Suddenly Bob pulled half-dollar out
of his pocket, and twisting his head
around at father with most humorous
expression of countenance, he said:
Dad, I'll give you this to let me
off. at the same time Offering father
the half dollar
We were all watching him as intently
as our pains would let us. Father stood
with the paddle uphfted Bob contin-
ued in his leaning position, holding the
half dollar between his uplifted fingers
with that grimace unalterabe on his
features. Bob was as cool as a CuCum-
ber. Father ut length broke out in
laugh and babe Bob be up and off in a
twfnkling Bob sprang to his feet, and
slipping his half dollar back IN his
pocket walked by us to the house, max
ing faces at us as he went by.

A WOaGeEful Gla. S Snake.
sY A BLOW, IT COMES TO-.
GETHER AND CRAwLS AWAY.

Mr.. John S. Kemper, who resides IN
Madison County. Va, is a vigorous,
hearty old gentleman of the most unim-
peachable and unimaginative character
in the world lie tells this story:
" Some thirty years ago, when | was
just growing up, my father and the rest
of the family vent to church one Sun
day morning ~iRstLHne, and | ~@ed at
home with my mothCf There were
graveAed walks and Old fashioned flow
er- beds in the front yard, in which she
took great pride, and about which she
spent all her leisure hours. She went
out to her flowers. and sat inside the
haIl-dOor reading. Suddenly l heard
her call out: oh, John, John, come
here." as if much alarmed.
| ran out at once to where she was
standing at the edge of fower-bed,
and saw a curious looking, grayish
snake, some two feet long, crawling
sluggishly along the walk. picked up
a stick and struck it; it fell all to
pieces, and in a moment I saw that it
was made up of hundreds Of little gray
ish worms from one to two inches long,
which Scattered at the stroke of my
stick and left in front of me, instead of
q symmetrical reptile, confused mass
of quiverlng matter. We were both
Mortified at the sight and called the
servants to come and witness it. In the
meantime the gray worms had crawled
together again, and once more a gray
snake lay for an instant in the walk in
front of us and then began to crawl
away, this time more swiftly.
The negroes were dumb with terror
and a superstitious feeling as if this
thing, so unheard- of, so unnatural, were
diabolical. It's outlines were as sharply
defined, its head as distinct, its eyes as
natural-loolling, its tail as nicely taper
ing as those of any snake ever laid
eyes on Ag&in l st4ell it, and again
it flew to pieces, W lining and, as we
thought, kissing. In an instant, with
cries of fear and horror, the servants
sprang upon the gray worms and tram
pied them to death, MASKING them
almost out OF sight IN the soft ground of
the grass plot. The impression this
hideous thing made on us all can never
be forgotten. The occurrence was the
talk of the neighborhood for months.
That was called a glass-snake."

Oranges Sold on The Trees.

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times of Oct.
9TH, says: From information received
from a gentleman Who has Just returned
from Sumpter and fernando counties
we learn that large number of sales of
ora ges on the trees have been made to
Northern parties who have come to the
State for this purpose. In Sumter the
sales, as known, amounted to 40, 900
boxes at $3.50 box. This is a graft
flying beginning and a great relief to
grove owners, who have been borrowing
money at varying rates of interest,
mostly high rates. The effect will be
felt at once in more hopeful feeling
among orange growers, in the increased
circulation of money in the paying off
of mortgages and current obligations,
aud, best OF all, in increased confidence
in orange growing. The sales of land,
which have been somewhat sluggish
since our January freeze, will be some
what larger, and higher prices may be
looked for. gain, the selling of the
fruit on the trees is the safest and most
profitable method of handling our
orange crop. The growers avoid dis
honest commission merchants, and the
fruit is more carefully packed and more
judiCiOusly distributed. If all our crop
could be sold in the same way Florida
would boom as never before With
choice orange land in Florida, convent
ent to railroads, selling at from SO to
S5j per acre, while California orange
land sells from $500 to $500 per acre,
the advantages offered by Florida are
at once seen. Provide us with market
for fruit on trees and Florida can easily
distance all competition.

An Officers Story.

My father was one of the officers with
old Admiral Kearney when ne took his
flagship to Honolulu in 1S43. The
Islanders were about to hoist national
flag and annul the provisional cession OF
the Islands to England. Admiral Geo.
Paulet was there with a British feet,
and was very wroth. He sent word to
the Hawaiians that if they hoisted that
flag he would fire on it. Kearney heard
of it. He was a grulf old fellow, an
uncle of the immortal Phil. Kearney,
who fell at Chantillv, and he spoke with
strong Yankee twang. When he heard
that Lord George had threatened to fire
on the Hawaiian flag If it was hoisted,
| the old man put on his war paint and
went in solemn state to the flagship OF
Anmiral Lord George. He was ush red
into Lord Georges cabin. Taking a
seat and placing a hand on each knee
he looked his Lordship full in the eye
and said in a drawl, 81 understand
that you said--if them Islanders hoisted
that tlag-you'd fire on it."
The magnificent Lord George drew
himself up, adjusted his eye-glass and
replied with great pomposity:
''Yes, sir, did"
"Waal," said old Kearncv, shaking
his head, Il jist como aboard to tell you
that if you fire on that flag I'll fire en-
YOU"
Lord George was SO astonlshed that
he nearly had a fit of apoplexy. "Sir, !"
said he when he recovered his breath,
do you know to whom you arc speak
ing l am Admiral Lord George Pau
let.n
''And l., replied the old man, rising
to his feet, "am Admiral Lawrence
Kearney, and if you fire on that flag,
I'll blow you outer water"
Then he returned aboard his ship and
had her prepared for action. That
night Lord George got under way and
went out of the harbcr of Honolulu,
and when the Hawaiian flag was hoisted
next day, Admiral kearney gave Ma
tional salute.
