Check Was Cashed.

They were talking about queer
checks, drafts, ETC., in one Of the LEGAL
banks, says the San Francisco Post,
and gentleman not long from Kansas
City, Mo-, finally told the following:
II was once employed" be said, "to
collect balance of $40 which was due
well-kno wn building firm of Kansas
City from an eccentric old millionaire.
How he made bis money I don't know,
for It is said that he could neither read
nor write, but be had it all the same.
"Well, I found the old boy down in
his cellar, aud was gratified to hear
him say that he could pay the bill at
once. 81 haven't that much cash
with me- he said, but just wait a
minute
"He looked around as if looking for
a piece of paper, and was just about
to OTTER him some when his eye lit upon
a piece Of board about eighteen inches
square.
Just the thing" be said, land with
that he picked it up and made lot Of
queer-looking marks on it,"
There" he said, take that to my
bankers and it will be all right"
II protested, but he Insisted and
finally did as be said. I handed the
piece Of plank obviously enough. 1 can
tell you, to the paying teller, but what
was the relief when be merely smiled,
studied the hieroglyphics moment
and handed me $40. Then be laid the
board upon a shelf and that was all
there was to it. 1t transpired that the
OLD nlan had system of signs, all his
own, which his bankers had agreed to
respect. All the same that bank check
seemed curious even to them, and 1t
is hanging up in the bank now."

WILL REBUILD CLEMSON.
The Trustees of the College Decide to Begin
the Work at Once.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. c., June 90
The board Of trustees of Clemson college
met here last night to look into the
general management of the college,
and to take active and immediate steps
towards rebuilding the main building,
which was destroyed by fire some time
ago. They found everything working
as we'll as could be expected since the
FIRE. Recitations have been carried on
as usual, there being no delay at all in
the daily work.
The contract was let to rebuild the COL
lege, and is to be completed by the first
day of next February. Messrs. Bruce
& Morgan, of Atlanta, are the archl-
te ;ts. 1t could not be ascertalned who
tne contractors were.
It was found that the building could
he replaced for very little above the
SO, 600 insurance. Thus it will be seen
taat the State will not lose near as
rouch as was expected.
The board decided to dispense with
the Saturday recitations, giving the
students a much needed rest on that
day. They also decided to change the
fatigue suit and have it made Of the
same material as the dress suit at very
little cost. The gray caps will also be
changed and blue ones will take their
place.
The cadets will also 60 to the eDcamp-
nent at Spartanburg next Monday to
spend ten days.

The Boy and the Boss.

The boy came briskly into the office,
says the Detroit Free Press, dotfed his
hat, and bowed to the boss.
II understand you want a boy, sir, !"
he said.
"Yes, we have vacancy"
"Can I fill it?'
"Can you? What sort of place do
you waut?"
"Where there's as little work and as
much pay as the house can stand"
"Um, most.boys when they come are
willing to take all work and no pay"
Pm not most boys"
"Oh, you're not? You are pretty fresh,
aren't yous"
Eyes, sir; but I know it, and I'm
getting cured"
''Do you expect to get the kind Of a
job you want?"
"No, sir; nobody gets what ho wants,
exactly, but it doesn't hurt him to
expect good deal"
"What pay dc you think you should
have?"
Three dollars per week"
"The other boys we have had only
gottwo."
"How many have you had in the last
year,"
Eight or ten"
"I thought so. That's the kind of a
boy two dollar boy is."
"And are you not that kind"'
"No, sir; if I come, hang up my
hat and stay"
'Suppose you don't like it?'
"I'll stay just the same"
"Suppos" we bounce you?"
"I'll be glad of it, sir.'
"Glad of it?'
Eyes, sir; if the house isn't satisfied
with the right kind of a boy, it isn't
the right kind of house for the right
kind Of boy TO be in."
The employer took second look at
the boy.
"Um," he said, twill you say that
again?"
mo, sir; it's time was going to
work if Pm going to work, and if Pm
not, it's time l left. Do I goi in or out"
and the boss with much doubt in his
mind said. "In," and the boy went ia

A Gentleman from South Carolina.
lWashington Post.

Hon. Nj. G.. Butler, the senior Sena-
tor from South Carolina, left for his
home last night. Hegoes there to enter
the campaign, upon there's OF which
depends the succession to his seat IN
Congress. He goes to meet and if possl-
bic to Illustrate the most formidable op-
position he has ever yet bad to en-
counter. And he carries with him the
friendly regard and the sincere good
wishes of those who have known him
through the long term of his faithful
and honorable public service here.
Without the smallest intention or
desire of Intervening in the domestic
politics of South Caroline, ii is, we
think, still proper and becoming in
The Post to pay tribute to the per
sonal worth and public character of Mr..
Butler. Here in Washington, which
has been the sceue of his political ac-
tivity for nearly twenty years, and
where impressions of his achievement
and his usefulness are necessarily clear
est and most impartial Senator Butler
has won universal admiration and
esteem. A model Of dignity and cour-
tesy, he has commanded respect alike
for himself and the people he repre-
sents. A Southerner OF Southerners,
be has been the eXemplar of genuine
and steadfast love of country. A De.
mocrat of Democrats. he has Kept al
ways within the limits of an excellent
conservatism. He has served as a most
attractive and reassuring type. He
has made friends for his section
and his class. BY his public acts
and utterances as we'll as by his
personal graces of temperament and
manner, he has done much to raise the
National estimate of Southern citizen
ship and manhood.
It is safe to say that not only bis col
leagues ia Congress, but the whole host
of his acquaintance in this city will
watch the shifting fortunes of the cam
paign with deep solicitude. 1t may be
that in any event South Carolina will
send US a worthy and accomplished
Senator; but in Mr.. Butler We shall
have all that and more. In him we
shall have a man whom we have tried
and found acceptable, lawmaker in
whose patriotism we can connde. a
gentleman whose grace and kindness
warm our hearts, a recovered friend
whom we shall welcome with delight
and gratitude.

and all dat, but folk say de house IS
haunted" Tom Hood wrote ninety
verses about haunted house and they
will make your hair stand on end II
you have got any:
"O'er all there hung shadow and fear.
\ sense Of mystery the spirit daunted'
And said as plain as whisper IN the ear
The place is haunted"
The old poets and novelitists were
full of superstitions. "The Ancient
Mariner" the witches in Macbeth and
The Phantom Ship" still charm US
with their mystery. It is we'll for US
that we spend the night in sleep, tor
darkness adds to our childish fears.
Napoleon said that all men were
towards by night, and suppose there
are few men among the saints and the
philosophers who would feel perfectly
calm and serene while sitting on a
tomb stone on a dark and cloudy night.
NV old army friend, Captain Hocken-
hull, an English man by birth, told US
one night by the camp fires that when
he was about eighteen some of the
town boys bet him crown that he
wouldn't 90 to the chafnel house after
dark and bring out q skull. The char
nel house was in the corner of the
church yard. It had no door, but had
a window about ten feet from the
ground, and as the bones were taken
from old graves to make room for new
ones the sexton hauled them to the
charnel house and threw them in, for
it was the law that dead man had no
right to sleep on the ground, longer
than thirty years. Hockenhull was
poor and had good pluck and wanted
tbe crown very bad. So he got lad
der and placed it under the window.
The rascally boys had already been
there and boosted one of their number
up to the hole and from there he let
himself down easy and hid in the corner
among the bones. "Hock," as we
called him in the army, felt around in
the darkness, and finding skull was
climbing to the window, when a deep,
CHASTITY voice muttered: "That's my
skull" Hook said it scared him nearly
to death at first and he put it down
quick. Then he thought about the
crown and the shame OF cowardice and
hegan to feel around for another, and
finding one nearer the window was
about to step up when the same un-
earthly voice from the same corner said
''ahat's my skull" Lob, you're liar"
said Hook. mo man has two skulls"
and be tossed it out and followed it in
iiffy, and carried it in triumph to the
alehouse, where the boys were waiting.
He got his crown and good reputation,
tut said he did not fancy the business.
1t takes both age and religion to drive
away our superstitious fears and
reconcile US to that lonely home, the
graveyard, to which we shall all surely
come. The comfort of the aged is that
this old body gets so frail and beset
with pain it is no shock to shake it of
and be a spirit-that is, if we have
faith that is sure and steadfast-a faith |
like that of Paul and the martyrs and
the dying Christian that Pope wrote
about, or the one that William G.
Bryant so beautifully describes in his
Thanatopis.

The superstitlons of the races is an
interesting study. All have them and all
are connected some way with spirits
wandering spirits-that haunt our path
way-unseen but not unmindful Of our
destiny. The Indian tribes do not seem
to know anything about conjurln' but
they have many signs and symbols and
reverence for the great spirit. I read
the other day from one who was
familiar with their customs, that every
male child of chief or great warrior
must be named for the first thing or
object that was seen shortly after its
birth. The old medicine man walked
to the door with great solemnlty and
ceremony and looked out, and whatever
he saw was the name Of the child,
whether it was "flying cloud" or ''hole
in the sky" or ''young man afraid of
his horse" or Setting Bull. There was
q Cherokee chief who lived not far
from here whose name was Laughing
Gal" Some hilarious maiden was IL
sight when be was born. The ancient
Jews had custom similar in some re-
spects. The name was connected with
some incident of birth. The great law
giver was named Moses because be was
drawn out of the water.
But our superstitions are not confined
to names. Very many sensible and
educated people will make a cross
mark with the shoe before they turn
back to get something they have for
gotten, some will spit in the cross.
Some put the shovel or the poker in
the fireplace when screech owl means
near the house. Some will not begin
new work or journey on Friday, and
almostevery body had rathersee the new
moon il clear sky and over the right
shoulder. For forty-five years have
known sensible, self-reliant woman
who will walk to the back door to get a
lucky view of the new moon. Her
husband makes fun of her but will Go
the same thing on the sly. When we
moved into our present house old aunt
Ann comforted my wife by saying
mighty fine place-might nice trees
