Sherman Owns it Now.
1ChicarO Herald.

You talk about John Sherman
being cold hearted" said an enthusias-
tic Ohioan yesterday. "It isn't true. I
know John Sherman very we'll, and I
know case in Mansfield, Ohio, where
poor widow would have lost her little
home had it not been for John Sher-
man."
Chow was that" asked a number of
listeners.
"Well, there was u poor widow in
Mansfield, whose husband was killed
in the war. He had bought little
home before he enlisted and gave a
mortgage for the payment of a part of
the purchase money to pay it with. In
her distress she appealed to John Sher-
man and he Immediately bought the
obligation from the banker and assured
the widow that she need not worry any
more about it, and she didn't"
Here hearty cheer went up from
the crowd in appreciation Of Mr.. Sher-
mans kindly action.
"What's the name of the widow,
and where does she live"" inquired a
voice in the crowd.
.'Oh, she went out to Nebraska teach
ing school, and Mr.. Sherman owns the
property now.n
And then there were no more cheers
for Mr.. Sherman's philanthropy.

Farming.
1From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
The statement is made that an old,
wornout Mississippi plantation was
bought for a song by a northern man,
and that in two years he made it pay
$4,000 in Strawberries alone. The in
ference is that "brain is the thing to
plow into the southern soil" While
this true of the south, it is equally true
of all soils. 1t is the man behind the
farm who makes or mars it, and this
fact cannot be confined to any section
where agriculture has its many victims
and few successful followers. The Brit
ish farmer has brains, but free trade
has crippled him, as we'll as foreign
competition. The west and the rail
ways have hurt some forms of eastern
agriculture. Many q northern man has
regretted investing in southern plant;l-
tons. Some have prosperei. We re-
member notable instance Of this. Just
after the war a confederate general, who
practiced law with some success, sold
his farm at a good price to 'yankee
soldier" The farm was not naturally
rich, and the general, who had sunk
much money on it, parted from 1t
gleefully. He came to town and told
his friends with chuckle Of triumph,
that he had "gotten even with one yam
kee," and proposed to leisurely behold
that unhappy man starve 70 death" "
The yankee was hard workers himself
and had an industrious family. The
farm was nursed, we'll manured, dill
gently cultivated and planted for a
variety of crops. Instead of starving
the yankee grew rich, and the eX-con'
federate general lived long enough to
| know that the farm he had sold as good
for nothing was one of the most valua'
BILE and productive in the state.
Brain is the thing to plough into the
soils of all sections. Intelligence must
be backed by economy, thrift, industry,
and an adoption Of means to ends. 1t
very often happens that men who sue
ceed in merchandising prosper at farn-
ing, when applying their executive
talents to the new pursuit. Some men
make money naturally at anything
they undertake, because they are
equipped for success. Some men fall al
everything, because they either cannot
or do not observe and carry out indis
pensable rules for prosperity.
The American farmer has the best
market for all ne can raise at nome
This is specially true where population
is great and manufactures thriving.
With brains and industry, there is little
doubt of success in agriculture, and this
is true generally of all sections. There
are well-to-do farmers north and south
and there are plenty who growl at their
lot. Intellect, skill and good sense are
individual, and they are not sectiona
or geographical.

iCincinnati Commercial.
\ catastrophe, such as few men have

has come like 4 thundcrclap upon
Charles Cullnan of - Browne street.
Last Saturday night, while auditing

"Why DO YOU turn out the gas: I'm

Turn out the gas. What's the mat

"My God, then I'm blind" cried
Cullman; and, sinking back in his
chair, from which he had risen i'll his
excitement, he buried his face III his
hands, and moaned and wcpt like Il
child.
DR.. Schwartmeyer, his regular phy-
sician, Was hastily sent for, and arrived
only to confirm the worst fears.

and comfort. The stricken man only

\ diagnosis followed, and it was dis
covered that Cullman had been for
some time sufferer from Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys. The eXcretions OF
albumen from these organs caused
uraeniic blood poisoning, which gradu-
allv pervaded the whole system OF the
sufferer. Step by step the disease
spread, and contraction Of the kidneys
followed, resulting in inflammation OF
the retina or optic nerve, hopeless!y de-
stroying the sight forever. The case,
though not an isolated one, is extremely
rare, death generally ensuing before
such crisis arrives.

A Drop of Ink.
Bonneville Journal. l

A drop of ink-how much it holds
Upon my pen-point newly wet;
4 brilliant fancy it enfolds,
Perhaps, if I could only get
1t rightly spread upon the sheet
Ofpaper, spotless, free from stain
Alas. l gaze out in the street
And chew my penholder in vain.
Maybe within that inky drop
A poem lies, designed for fame;
But I can't reach Parnassus's top,
Because, you see, my feet are lame.
An eplgram it may contain,
Replete with wisdom and with wit.
Pm sure it would not make ME vain
IfFate would let Inc make hit.
But while Pm speculating here,
The ink will dry upon my pen;
I'll cast aside all doubt and fear,
Maybe my Fate will help me then.
Ali men Of genius, | suppose,
Dash down their burning thought
red-hot.
pll do the same nlyself-here goes
BY Jove! I've only made blot!

Rats.
| From the Courier.

She of the antl-slang society was
president,
And, therefore, twas with diffidence
that courting her I went;
I feared that might drop word or
phrase that might offend,
And to my hopes Of winning her thus
bring aspeedy end.
I kept guard upon my tongue, and
every word I weighed
Most carefully, while l my ardent love
for her Portrayed;
I praised her eyes, her hair, her lips,
her teeth, which shone like pearls.
In language chaste described her as the
nonpareil of girls.
TO Helen 1 compared her, and to
Aphrodite, too;
said my love was boundless, and for
ever would be true,
And wound up By informing her I to
her hand aspired,
On which she dropped her lily lids and
said: "Iou make me tired"

baltimore American.

DR.. Ezell, of Alabama, who was one
of the party of Southerners who left
this country just at the close of the war
for Brazil, has returned with his family.
That colony, it will be remembered, was
made up of Southerners who were un-
willing longer to live in the United
States, and who selected Brazil for a
home because they could hold slaves
there. They have gradually come to
the conclusion, however, after twenty
one years experience in slave-holding
monarchy, that the United States is
good enough for them, especially since
slave-holding no longer exists there.
The doctor says the members of the
colony would be glad to get back if they
could get money enough to return with.

4 Revolutionary Relic.
Anderson Intelligencer.J

Mr.. 4. 4. Dean brought to our office
on Friday last, Il small cannon ball,
found on his place about fifty years ago,
and preserved in the family since that
time. AS there was no fighting in this
county, so far as we know, during the
Revolutionary War, the question is,
how did it get there? We would like
for some of our oldest citizens to give
us some OF the traditions of that war,
handed down to them by their fathers,
especially as to Anderson County.

A Child's Strange Death.
Lancaster Review.l

A little daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
L. Hicklin, aged about two-and-a-half
years, named Lillian, died very sud
denly last Thursday. She was playing
in a room with another child when she
suddenly began screaming. Mrs
Hicklin ran into the room and found
the child in spasms. She died in about
half an hour afterwards. 1t is thought
that the child possibly fell from box
in the room and injured herself, but
this theory is not accepted by her
father, Mr.. Hicklin, as the box referred
tots very small one.

II-outh'S COMPANION.


Even ministers will have their jokes,
and sometimes an exceeding good one.
An English paper says that Mr.. A
had invited Mr. B-to preach one
Sabbath in his church, and afterward
iocosely accused him Of having sent 4
member of the congregation to sleep by
his sermon.
The minister smiled for his revenge,
for when it comes TO joking, even good
men like to ret;liatc.
Next Sabbath, he sat with the con-
gregation. while Mr.. A. preached,
and WAS malicious!y pleased at seeing
one of the audience enjoying nap.
After the service, he mentioned the fact
to his brother Clergyman, who was by
no means disconnected by the intor-
nation.

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dan
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity OF
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, Of Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years OF age, was fast
losing lis hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect. lie commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Eigor. 1T

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, OF Boston,
writes: "For years, I was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown o. my head but now
1 gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out new growth. l
could hardly trust my senses when L
first found my hair growing but there
it is, and I am delighted. I look ten
gears younger."
A similar result attended the use OF
Ayers Hair Vlgor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, OF Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
H. Bed!oe, of Burlington, VT, Mrs. j. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to i'm
purity of the blood or arrangement OF
the stomach and liver, in which case,
a course of Ayers Sarsaparlila or OF
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
Vigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions OF the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none Of these
remedies can do much good without
a persevering trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.

Mr. Blaine said that in Lancashire
master spinners received as high as
sl2 per week. The English rates were
subject TO reduction of 10 per cent
After stating the rates of wages Mr..
Blaine added The hours Of labor in
the Lancashire mills are fifty-six, in
the Massachusetts, mills sixty per
week The hours Of labor in the mills
in the other New England states.
where the wages are generally less
than in Massachusetts, are usually
sixty.six to sixty.ninc per week.
On page 90 of the same report re-
ferring 10 official statistics, Mr.. Blaine
said From these returns IL is seen
that every American spindle consumes
GO pounds Of raw cotton, while .eaeh
British spindle consumes only 81

American consumption per spindle

Putting all this together II appears
from Mr. Blainc's own statements
that the New England gets rather less
