THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

Queer things some times get into church
collections. Deacon Tulley of the Mount
Zion (colored) Methodist church of john
sonville came across a curious coin the
other day in counting up the contents Of his
box. 1t is to all appearances, genuine
trade dollar, issued in 1857, and looks to be
genuine. Upon CLOSE scrutiny it was dis
covered that the coin is only locket, and,
upon opening it a picture of lady is visi-
bic. The WORK is perfect. The springs are
SO arranged that no noise is made aud one
cannot open the jewel until fully posted as
to the proper way to do it.
Ex-President Hayes and ex- Minister to
Spain Curry are expected in Savannah to -
morrow for the purpose Of visiting the
educational institutions here. They were
in Columbia yesterday, where they were
the guests Of the city. To-day they will be
in Charleston and will arrive here to-mor-
row morning As soon as the time of their
arrival is known arrangements will be
made to extend them the hospitalities of the
city.

A friend Of mine. who was for some
time city editor of one of the New

he remarked that he had taken his

found it very valuable. an Italy par

The rascally landlords would charge
me for carriages, wines sent to my

any trouble in settling these edited

Embarrassed In a tunnel.

Perhaps they were not so much in

to be, but they were both young and
she was pretty, and every one in the
car got the idea into his head that they
were a good deal in love with each
other. At any rate, shortly after the
train left the station only two people
were talking, and these two were the
young man and the young woman. All
the rest were just Watching.
There is tunnel little way up the
road" he said, trying to appear self
possessed, but looking a little guilty.

and looking out the window.

cit might be less"
"Pve been through snowsheds out
West" she answered, shat took seven
minutes to go through"
"Oh, this is less than two minutes
long," he said. Their chances hap
pened to meet, and they both turned
their eyes quickly.
Every one in the car was now in
breathless suspense, for the tunnel was
near.
Tunnels are such"-but the SEN
tence was lost IN the rush OF wind
and the changing Of the bell as the train
went rushing through the blackness.
There was that sudden roar that
comes at such times, a dark shadow
over the car and then yellow light,
for the lamps were burning, turned
down low enough to be unobserved in
the daylight, but with the flame which
gathered life underground. And the
two young people looked ct each other
with startled eyes. It wasn't so bad
after all. Perhaps no one likes a tunnel
under such circumstances. There are
so many idiotic people in the world.
Some hard-hearted wretch snickered.
That was all. but it was bad enough for
two people who sat in the same seat.

What They Learned.

Few manufactured malapropos
speeches are so droll as those which
little children make without knowing
it. The Pittsburgh Bulletin gives the
following:
Mamma-Did my darling little Nell
lie hear the words of the wedding cere-
mony?
Nellie-Yes, I heard every word
Mamma-And what did the minister
say?
Nellie (glibly)-He said: "We have
now entered the holy bands of paddock,
and you Irvine are now one fish"
The Hartford Post reports another,
which, as the Irishman said, is equally
worse"
A little girl, just old enough to enter
the infant class at the Sunday school,
was ambitious to repeat a text of
Scripture as the older ones did at the
concert exercises.
In order to humor her ambition and
make it reasonably certain that she
would succeed, the mother selected the
brief text, "It is lawful to do good on
the Sabbath day" and taught her until
she rehearsed it several times correctly.
When the supreme moment arrived,
however, the little orator electrified
her audience and mortified her mother
by saying, at is awful to do good Cd
the Sabbath day"

He Was a Thrirty LandIord.

An American was at an Edinburgh
hotel for month, and when the bill
was presented noticed that he had
been charged with bottle of wine of
a brand he had never used. Moreover,
he had no recollection of having or
dered any article of the kind on the
date specified. He complained OF the
overcharge to the proprietor, who
blandly remarked: very well, sir, I'll
take it off. YOU see, the girl who got
that bottle of wine from the cellar for

THE enemies of the telegraph lines
in different countries are engaging the
attention of scientists, most of whose
researches In these days are pressed
into the service of utilitarianism- In
Brazil there is an orchid that has a
habit of fastening itself to the wires
and growing until it reaches the ground,
forming an ~earth contact" In Japan
there is large spider whose web, wet
with dew, serves the same inconvenient'
purpose. In Norway the trouble comes
from woodpecker that is so foolish as.
to mistake the humming of the wires in
the wind for the buzzing of nests of in
sects, and is accordingly forever boring
the poles to pieces. Another species
of woodpecker in California selects the
telegraph poles as suitable places in
which to dig and nest, so that when
there comes a high wind the poles are
liable to be snapped in two. There
seems to be no end to the trouble to
which man is put by natural causes,
and the want of sympathy felt by the
creatures of the world not of his race
for his undertakings is enough to make
one weep.

He Rrolre Into Hall


Ny father was Sheriff of a county in
Indiana for a good many years, and
the jail he first took charge of was
very humble affair. The Jail proper
was one-story addition of stone about
twenty feet square, and the two win
dows were defended by heavy outside
blinds in place of bars. One night, re-
turning home at late hour, my father
noticed a man working on the outside
of one of the windows. He had piled
up lot of wood for platform, and
had broken into blacksmith shop to
get crowbar. Father kept back and
let him work away, and by and by he
got the blind open and disappeared in
side. There were no prisoners in the
jail, and the blind was softly closed
and fastened with a prop. When this
had been done father went inside,
opened the door of the corridor, and
there stood his man. He looked around
him In a dreamy way, but got it
through his head at last, and then he
queried:
~This is the county jail, isn't it?"
"And I've been fool enough to break
into 1T"
"You have"
"That's all. Lock me up till morn
ing, and then let some jackass kick me
to deathl"
The fun of it was that he turned out
to be robber, with a reward of 5000
on his head, and when he came to trial
he got sentence of fifteen years.

The man who asks God for his daily

ask the divine favor.
The man who never does anything in
the church unless he can have his own
way about it is man the devil is not
much afraid of.
The man who does not say -"Our
Father" in his conduct, wherever he
goes, can not say it on his knees.
Whenever we reach the point that
we think we have religion enough, it
won't be long until we won't have any.
No man who really prays the Lords
prayer can sit down and fold his hands,
and try to loaf his way to heaven.

Gus of running it in good form, called
up her cook each day to the dining
room (Which was ON the main floor, the
kitchen being in the basement) and
there gave her her orders for the meals
and other matters connected with the
downstairs work. For day or two
the cook took the orders with rather
bad grace. but committed no overt act
of Instruction. But presently, one
day after the mistress had finished her
orders, the cook spoke up:
"And now, num-" she said, 81 want

it's this: That, if ye're go'an' to shtay

Before the young mistress could re-
cover her breath after that "if ye're

"An' there's another thing I want to
tell ye: I notice that ye have wine on

it whatever gets down shtairs to the
