Important to Farmers.

Every farmer in South Carolina as in
every other State in the Union, will next
year be called upon by government
official in the services of the Census
Bureau, and asked to give the statistics
of his farm crops, stocks, ETC., for the
previous year, which is the present one
of 1889.
To be prepared to answer these ques.
tioas intelligsntly and satisfactorily,
every farmer ought tc begin now to keep
accurate accounts Of all farm operations
and continue it throughout the year.
The agricultural statistics Of this coun.
try will be gathered in this way and the
sum total of the result will show the
degree of prosperity attained by every
State and County. 1t is, therefore, OF
the utmost importance to each section
and locality that these matters be cor
rectly reported to the census taters.
Ifthe farmers of South Carolina desire
to see this State take deserving high
rank among the producers of farm pro.
ducts. they will take care to make their
very best exhibit when the representa-
tive of the census makes bis appearance
some time in 1890.

A Net for Tangling Feet.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 1.-THE liquor
law framed by Senator Schefer went in to
effect Monday. tits designed to punish
drunkenness, and provides for fine Of
from $40 to $40 for.the first offense, from
$40 to $50 for the second and ninety
days in the workhouse for the third.
When asked what effect the Law would
have on the Minneapolis Municipal
Court, Judge Maloney said:
"ItwiH not materially change the order
Of things with us. Our custom in treat
ing drunkenness is much the same as
provided in the new law. There is,
however, one feature of the law that
differs from the ordinance under which
ne formerly worked. According to the
ordinance the ofense was rot punishable
unless committed in some public place,
while the statute covers drunkenness in
secret as we'll as in the public street. I
am glad this bill passed the Legislature.
II makes it crime now in our State to
drink TO excess, and it is an expression
of the public condemnation of drunken.
ness. I think it will result in doing q
great deal of good.
"For the reasons I have cited the new
law has created no unusual textures in
the pastime Of drunkenness in this city
as yet. It's eventual effect will, Of course,
depend greatly upon the leniency or
strictuess of the authorities"
W1NoNA, MINI, May 1.-THE scheff.
er law has been in operation several days,
but as yet no arrests have been made I'M.
der its provisions. 1t is generally believ.
ed that if the law is strictly enforced it
will work q surprising reform in the bet.
ter class ofcitizens who get on "hurrah"
occasionally and with the "bloods" who
enjoy the same entertainment. Beyond
this it is believed the law will be dead
letter, having no effect on the "beats''
and steady drunkards. Senator Schefer
is German and drinks wine and beer
and makes no bones aboutit, but he de.
tests drunkards, and claims that if bis
law is enforced the Prohibitionists will
have no ground to stand on.

A Blind Bridal Couple.

Every pleasant evening, in that hour
just before twilight which we all love to
idle away with inconsequently thoughts
and observations, there passes my window
couple that greatly interest me. The
lady is but q young girl, it seems, and
she has such a pretty face, so white and
peaceful, with something ofsadhess in it,
something of joy.
She has great eyes that stare strangely
at you, and, at the sound OF her compan.
IONS voice, their lids are dropped, and
the long, graceful eye lashes fall upon
her cheeks. The man reminds me of one
of the old Saxons. He is big and
strong, and has the curly golden hair and
the big blonde beard Of that race of men.
His companion hangs OH his arm, and
yet he seems to depend upon her as much
as she on him, for they cling very close.

picks their way out with light cane.
Both are blind. I inquired about
them the other day. Neither ever saw
the light of day. Neither can ever know
how glorious the sunlight is, how pretti.
y blend the beautiful hues of the flowers,
how grand all nature looks. Neither
ever sawthe other and yet they are
bridal pair.
They only live in world of darkness
and in each other. They met long ago,
became devotedly attached to each other
and were married. And 30 now every
evening, when the weather is fine, they
go out for little strole, and as they
slowly, carefully walk past my window I
think: "It is sad and pretty sight-a
blind bridal pair !"-1olcdo Blade.

Not A Regular.

In a country village not ten miles from
Glasgow, a sweep and candy-man had
taken refuge for a night in barn.loft
above the meeting.place of the Salvation
Army. One night they all met for the
purpose of worship, and the captain
began to preach, which awakened the
sleepers in the loft by his saying, 80,
Lord, blow thy horn, that we may hear"
The sweep listened, and said to the
candy.man, 'If he says that again, blow
your horn"
1t was repeated, and the caudy.man
blew his horn.
The captain of the army then said, "0,
Lord, show thy face, that we may see you
as you are"
The sweep, hearing this, showed his
head out of the thatchhole, the look of
which soon emptied the place, as they
thought it was the devil. Among them
vas an old, decrepit woman, who could
not get out soon enough, and cried out:
"Don't meddle me, don't meddle me,
for l am not a regular attender."

if he is killed on the journey they will

Anthr0poidaI Americans.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 12.-On White
Island, a suburb of Towawonda, men en-.
gagged in excayating cellar yesterday
dug up eleven very peculiar skeletons.
The spot was originally the site of an
ancient Indian mound, which was robbed
Of its remains by scientists over forty
years ago, and it was not supposed that
it contained other bones. The skeletons
found were lying in case Of cobble
stones, in which the bones had originally
been buried. They we're evidently of
much greater antiquity than the mound
above, for a comparison of one of the
skulls with q cast of the famous Mean.
derthal skull shows them to be of an even
lower order of intellect. The arch of the
eyes is on level with the top of the
head, and there is no forehead whatever.
Mr. Duschak, of the Buffalo Academy
of Natural Sciences, to which the re.
mains have been presented, says that it
is the most peculiar skull ever found,
and will completely upset the established
scientific theories in regard to the intel
,ligence of the primeval American.
The being to whom the skull belonged
could not have differed greatly from an
ape, either in appearance or intellect.
The accompanying thigh bones were
abnormally long and very slender, and
there are thirteen ribs on side. The
shoulder blades are entirely lacking.
Many Of the society think that the long
expected missing link" has at last been
found. The society will send a commit.
tee to the spot to morrow to search for
other remains.
Only one implement vas found. 1t
was of stone, six inches in length, two
and half in width and about one.
quarter of an inch in thickness. Through
the centre we're two small holes. 1t was
worn smooth by use, and, it is thought,
was used for skinning animals.

Me. EDITOR: There fell into my
hands not long since book of such rare
value and so,great help to me, you will
permit me to call the attention of our
teachers to it through the Teachers Col
umn. It is "Lessons in English, by
Sarah E. Lockwood, and is published by
GWin & Company, Boston, Mass
No doubt many Of your teachers, like
myself, Mr.. Editor, have found no little
difficulty in teaching English Grammar
satisfactorily, This little book has been
of incalculable benefit to me, and, am
sure, would be to any one who will pro.
cure copy and use it. I have used it
simply as a book of reference. I am
quite sure, however, so favorably has it
impressed me, that it would stand the
test of the school room.
No workman can do the best work
without the best tools. So no teacher
can teach the English language correctly
unless he has access to many books other
than the one, used. by his classes. Good
tools should be close at hand. A few
dollars judiciously expended for books
would wonderfully increase the possibil:
ties of any one who is really desirous of
growing stronger and accomplishing
more. As a book of reference, or as
textbook for advanced classes, ] know
of nc one that offers greater assistance to
teachers of English than "Lockwcod's
Lessons in English"
With Crabb's dictionary Of snyo.
nyms," Smiths Synonyms Discrimi.
nated,n Roget's "Thesawrus Of English
Words" and a!Lockword's Lessons In
English on his table, any teacher Of
English may feel confident that he is not
poorly equipped for the work in hand.
I took up my pen to write review of
this book in which I have no other inter.
est than q desire to see q book of Such
intrinsic value in the hands of my fel.
low.teachers, but must desist, as ir an
article Of this kind I could not do it jus:
lice. Get it and examine it.
