There, I've got it down fine at last,

a blotter.

It's this way, and after signing my

also, this line drawn through the name

will not present it for collection. It's
great idea and is being adopted bv
many business men OF the city. Oi
course we have to explain it to the

breaches While i'm a Trance.

Major Perry, the illiterate and ignor-
ant Edgefeld country negro, who,
while in what appears to be trance
sleep, breaches learned and eloquent
sermons, is still attracting a great deal
of attention. and several enterprising
citizens of Edgefield county now have
the human phenomenon in charge and
are exhibiting him to large audiences.
The modus operandi is as follows:
Perry goes to bed and lies outstretched
in full view of the audience, and by the
time the spectators have assembled is
fast asleep. After n few moments of
apparently sound slumber, his muscles
begin to twitch, his limbs to contract
and his body becomes contorted in I'M
seemly shapes. This spasm soon passes
of and then he begins to preach. He
takes his text from the Bible, naming
book, chapter and verse, all the time
lying fiat on his back, with his eyes
shut. and for half an hour or more
breaches, using strictly grammatical
and even eloquent language. At the
conclusion of his sermon he sings a
hymn to an old air. but the words of it
entirely new and of his own COMPOST
llOls uCu NOIlIto bhN iAO
dismisses the congregation. The text
for the sermon preached by Perry
Thursday night was announced By
him to be found in Daniel vi, u, and
that it read as follows. Then said
Daniel unto the king, . king, live for
ever"
The words of the text will be found
to be exactly correct, which is certain
" marvellous when it is positively
known that the negro cannot read a
word. nor had he ever heard the text
in question read or spoken to him by
anyone. Four reputable physicians OF
Edgeiield, 5. C.-Drs. Trotter, Bustler,
Strothers and Jennings were present
on this occasion, and made physical,
anatomical and psychological eXamin-
alton OF the preacher, and pronounced
the mystery us one beyond their ken.
Another remarkable thing is that this
unconscious preaching goes on every
night. no matter where he may be,
whether before an audience or not,
except on Friday night, when he is
dumb.

such right might acquire property in

No-Turkisb wife Of the better class "a

No Turkish wife of the better class Is
ever expected to do any domestic labor
whatever. nor to make any of the
household linen. nor to make any gar
ments for herself or members of the
household, nor to sew any buttons on,
nor above all, to make her husbands
shirts; therefore it can be seen at once
that almost every source of domestic
disagreement is done away with, and
the Turkish husband never expects his
wife to get on her knees and hunt for
collar button, nor scold her if the dinner
is badly cooked; SO that in many re-
spects life in harem is not so very
bad after all, and one-tenth of good
husband is better than the whole of a

THE WORLDS NOTED ERAs.
Times That Have Loft Enduring Stamp foi
All Succeeding Ages.

The era of Abraham began Oct. /. b.
G. 2016.
The era of Augustus began in the
year of Rome 727, twenty-seven years
before the Christian era.
The era of Tyre began b. G. 1875, in
the year of Rome 62S, and in the 186th
of the Seleucid@ or Grecian era.
The era of Antioch fixed the creation
b. G. 5492. After 285, however, il
conceded with the Alexandrian era.
The era of the Hegira dates from the
fight of Mohammed from Mecca to
Medina on the 10Th or 10th of July, A.
ID. 622.
The Chinese era begins B. c. 2277,
but since the year 1853 b. G. Chinese
writers have dated the year from the
accession of the reigning emperor.
The Cesarean era of Antioch was
instituted in consequence of the victory
OF Pharsalia. gained by Julius Caesar in
the year of Rome 706 and b. G. AZ.
The era of Nabonnassar began Feb.
26, b. G. TAI. 1t continued until the
death of Alexander the Great, and was
thence brought down to the reign OF
Antonius Plus.
The Hindoo era is quite complicated
and its calculation has given rise to
much controversy. The current era
the fourth of the worlds existence, the
Kal Yug-began b. G. 3101.
The French republic era began Sept.
%, 1892. The republican calendar was
first used on the Goth of November
1898, and was discontinued Dec. 81,
1905. when the Georgian was resumed.
The Persian era began on the access
sion of King Yezdegird to the throne
of Persia, June 16. A. ID. 632. The
Persian year was readjusted in A. ID.
1913, and the system continues to the
present time.
The Jewish era was adopted in the
fifteenth century. The Jews date from
the creation of the world. which they
consider to have taken place $3.50 years
and three months before the COM
mencement of the Christian era.
The Alexandrian era of the creation
of the world was fixed at 5502 years
before Christ, so that A. ID. l cores
ponds with the Alexandrian year of
the creation 5503. This computation
was continued until the year A. ID. 2S4,
but in A. ID. 2S5 ten years were SUBJ
tracted.
The era of Spain began at the con-
quest OF that country by Augustus, b.
G. 80. 1t was adopted in Portugal.
Africa, and the southern provinces of
France. 1t was abolished in Catalonia
in llS0; in Aragon. 1850; in Valencia,
1853, and in CASTLE in 1898, but it pre-
vailed in Portugal as late as 1415 or
1922.
The Grecian commences in the year
of Rome 4i2, twelve years after the
death of Alexander, b. G. 81. This
era is still in use among almost all the
people of Levant. The Jews, when
they became subject to the kings of
Syria, adopted it, and did not abandon
it for the one now used by them until
within the last 400 years.
The era of Constantinople, which
was adopted in that city before the
middle of the seventh century, like
wise commences with the creation Of
the world, which is assigned to b. G..
550S. The Russians followed this call
culation until the reign of Peter the
Great having received it from the
