BILL NYJVS SPARTACUS.
Ye call me chief, and ye do well
to call him chief who for twelve
long years has met in the arena
every shape of man or'beast that
the broad empire of Rome could
furnish and yet has never lowered
his arm. I do not say this to brag,
however, but simply to show that
I am the star thumper of the en
tire outfit.
If there be one among you who
can say that ever in public fight or
Private brawl my actions did belie
^ m "vords, let him stand forth and
say it and I will spread him around
over the arena till the coroner will
have to gather him up with a blot
ting paper. If there be three in
all your company dare face me on
the bloody sands let them come,
and I will construct upon their,
... physiognomy such cupolas and
royal cornices and Corinthian cap
vitals and entablatures, that their
own mothers would pass them by
in the broad light of high noon
unrecognized.
And yet I was not always thus, a
hired butcher-the savage chief of
still more savage meu.
My aucestors came from old
Sparta ; the county-seat of Marcus
Aurelius county, and settled among
the vine-clad hills and cotton
groves of Sarsaparilla'. My early
life ran quiet as a clear brook b}
which I sported. My boyhood was
one long happy summer day. We
stole the Roman muskmellou
and put split sticks on the tail of
the Roman dog, and life was one
continuous hallelujah.
When at noon I led the sheep
beneath the shade and played
"Sweet Bye and Bye" on my
"""shepherd's flute, their was another
Spartan youth, ihe son of a neigh
- bor to join me in the pastime. We
led our flocks to the same pasture,
aud together picked the large red '
nut* out of our indeptriW'^10- -?
?nctwicnes. ,
One evening, after the sheep had
been driven into the corral and
we were all seated beneath the
persimmon tree that shaded our
humble cottage, my grandeire, an
old man, was telling of Marathon
and Leuctra and George Frauds
Train and Dr. Mary Walker and
other great men, and how a little
band of Spartaus, under General
Howard, had withstood the regular
army. I did not then know what
war was, but my cheeks burned, I
know not why, and I thought what
a glorious thing it would be to
leave the reservation and go on the
warpath.
But my mother kissed my throb
bing temples and bade me go soak
my head and think no more of
those old tales and savage wars.
That very night the Romans land
ed on our coasts. They pillaged
the whole country, burned the
agency buildings, demolished the
ranch, rode off the stock, tore
down the smoke house, and rode
their war horses over our cucum
ber vines.
To-day I killed a man in the
arena, and when I broke his patent
clasps and looked upon him, be
hold 1 he was my friend.
He knew me, smiled some more,
said "Ta, ta," and ascended the
golden stair. I bagged of the
Protor that I might be allowed to
bear away the body and have it
packed in ice.
Ay, upon my bended knees,
amidst the dust and blood of the
arena, I begged this poor boon, and
the Protor answered "Let the car
rion rot. There are no noble men
but Romans and Ohio men. Let
the show go on. Bring in the bob
tail lion from Abyssinia." And
the assembled maids and matrons
and the rabble shouted in deri
sion.
And so must you, fellow gladia
tors, and so must I, die like dogs.
To-morrow wo are billed to ap
pear at the Coliseum at Rome, and
reserved seats are being sold at the
corner of Third and Corso streets
for our moral and instructive per
formance while I am speaking to
you.
Ye stand here like giants as ye
are, but to-morrow some Roman
Adonis with a sealskin cap will
pat your red brawn and bet his
sesterces upon your blood.
0, Rome! Rome I Thou hast
been indeed a tender nurse to me.
Thou hast given to that gentle
timid shepherd lad who never
knew a harsher tone than a flute
note, muscles of iron and a heart
like the adamantine lemon pie of
the railroad lunch room. Thou
hast taught him to drive his sword
through plated mail and links of
rugged brass, and warm it in the
palpitating gizzard of his foe, and
to gaze into the glaring eyeballs of
the fierce Numidiau lion, even as
the smooth-cheeked Roman
Senator looks into the laughing
eyes of the girls in the Treasury
department.
And he shall pay thee back till
the rushing Tiber is red as froth
ing wine, and in its deepest ooze
thy life-blood lies curdled. You
doubtless hear the gentle murmur
of my bazoo.
Hark ! Hear ye the lion roaring
in nie den?-'Tis three days since
he tasted flesh, but to-morrow he
will have gladiator on toast, and
don't you forget it, and he will
sling your vertebo about his cage
like the star pitcher of a champion
nine.
If ye are brutes, then stand here
like fat oxen waiting for the
butcher's knife. If ye are men,
arise and follow me.
Strike down the warden and the
turnkey, overpower the police and
cut for the tall timber.
0, comrades 1 Warriors ! ! Glad
iators! 1 1
If we be men, let us die like
meu, beneath the blue sky and by
the still waters, and be buried ac
cording to Guuter instead of hav
ing'our bones polished off by
Numidian lions amid the groans
and hisses of a sn id'? Roman pop
ulace.
Abandoned Land Department.
Just about three years ago the
Abandoued Land Department was
created by the Sinking Fund
Commission, and Col. James G.
Gibbes, one of the best and most
energetic civil engineers in the
State was placed at the head of it
as the State "abandoned land
agent." \
The object of the State iii ere- J
ating the department was to have 1
mW?T^^e^iV^?e^State hu?t?oT
ap, sold and placed on the tax
books. Colonel Gibbes was not '
to receive any salary from the
State, but was to be allowed a ,
commission on all lands placed
on the tax books, defraying hi?
own expenses in the search for
them.
He sat to work, employed as
sistants and ha? ever since been .
hard at work. j
He said yesterday that he had
up to date succeeded in placing
about-in round numbers-one
million acres of such lands, here
tofore not known to exist, on the
tax books of the several counties
in the State. He says this ia about
all of such lands m the State and
he is about ready to win up the
affairs of the department. He
says the lands now being found
are so poor and are of sucb low
grade that it ?does not pay him or
auyone else the actual expenses
of pursuing the search further.
He says even as it is, about
half of the lands that have beeu
found and sold are so poor that
they will be gradually dropped
off the tax books, and in the next
five years will have te be placed
there again.
He says he will hare a few sales
in Berkeley, Horry and Greenville
counties on April salesday, but
they will be about the last.
Colonel Gibbes says that it has
not been, and is now, only the
abandoned lands which have been
escaping taxation. He say? there
are hundred of owners of tracts of
1,000 acree who return only 700
acres, and pay on that much. The
State has no township maps giving
surveys which show the exact
number of acres in a township,
and it has to accept the inevitable
result, being too poor to have such
surveys made.-State.

ARKANSAW WITNESS.
"What is your name?" asked a
United States attorney of an old
"squatter," who had been sum
moned before the court as a wit
ness.
"Wnich name, Squire?*'
"Your right name, of course."
"I ain't got none."
"Wh?t, you don't mean to Bay
that you haven't got a name?"
"Oh, nb sir."
"This summons says that your
name is Ananias Peters. Is that
so?"
"Reckon it is."
"Thought you didn't have a
right name?"
"I ain't."
"Look here, sir. Don't trifle
with this court. Your prevarica
tion will not be tolerated here.
Why did you say that Ananias
Peters was not }rour right^me?"
"'Case it wan't right to name
a boy Ananias, therefore it ain't a
right name. The Bible, I believe,
sorter called Ananias a liar."
"Which," interposed the judge,
"makes it peculiarly applicable in
your case." .
"Look a-here, judge, I don't
want to prog ic with you, 'case
you've got the upper hand of me,
but I don't want you to hit me
with the Bible. A man's in a bad
enough fix when yer fling the law
at him, but when yer fling the law
an' the gospel both, he ain't got
no show."
"Where do you live?" asked the
attorney..
"At home."
"But where is your home?"
"In the neighborhood o' whar I
live."
The judge turned away to con- ]
jeal a smile, and the attorney giv
ing the "squatter" a lojk of ex- 1
:reme severity,said, "Do youknow
*3??Ye7sTrTl?mhe7e."
"You won't be here much longer,
lnleBS you answer my questions." '
.Tm answerin' your questions,
'Squire. Go on with your rat kill
ii'."
"Where were you when Mr. Jaseu,
;he defendant, cut timber from
government land?"
"When did he do the cuttin'?"
"That's what I want to find out.
[ think it was sometime in Octo
ber."
"Wal, sometimes in October I
was in one place an' sometimes in
another."
"Did you ever see him cutting
government timber?"
"I believe I did."
"When?"
"Durin' the war when he was in
the army."
"None of your foolishness now.
Didn't you come along the road
one day in October and talk to the
defendant while he was choppin'
down a tree?"
"No, sir."
"Remember you are under oath.
So you didn't see him while he was
chopping down a tree?"
"Didn't say, that, 'Squire, for I
did see him choppin' the tree."
"Did you stop and talk to him?"
"Yes/sir."
"Thought you said you didn't
stop and talk to him?"
"Didn't say it."
"You did."
"Didn't say it."
"What did you say?"
"Said I didn't talk to him while
he was choppin', fur when I come
up an' spoke, he quit cheppin'."
"How long have you been living
here?"
"Too long." a
How many years?"
"Been here ever since my oldest
boy was born."
"What year was he born?"
"The year I come here."
"How old is your boy?"
"Ef he had lived, he would have
been the oldest until yit, but, as
he died, Jim's the oldest."
"How old is Jim?"
"He ain't as old as the one what
died."
"Well, how old was the one that
died?"
"He was older than Jim."
"What do you do here for a
living?"
"Eat."
That will do," said the lawyer.
"Is thero anything else) ou want
to know?" asked the witness.

Crows Rescue a Chicken from ?
Hawk.
Springfield (Mau.) Republican.
A white-feathered chicken ii
search of worms strayed from th
yard of a Feeding Hills fanne
early Sunday afternoon, and wa
soon scratching merrily in th
black loam of a swamp near by
A big hen hawk that was sail inj
lazily along far up in the sky tip
ped an eye downward and saw th<
little white chick. The hawk hac
had no dinner and was very hungry
The big, hungry hawk suddenlj
shot down like a stone, and before
the chick could run or cluck, 01
even flap her funny little wings,
she was in the hawk's cruel claws,
The farmer was cutting cornstocke
in a wagon near the barn, and did
not see the hawk with flapping
wings rise into the air, clutching
tight the little white chick, fright
ened and still. But perched upon
some trees the other side of the
swamp were eight black crows.
They had seen itali. Putting their
heads together these crows con
sulted hurriedly, and then, with a
loud, defiant chorus of "caw, caw,
caw," they took wing.
The bird of prey bad not risen
fifty feet into the air before the
crows had completely surrounded
him. They pecked at him above,
below in front and behind. They
would rise many feet above and
shoot downward one after the other
at the hawk with the swiftness and
celerity of swallows. The hawk,
burdened with the breathless chick,
could not endure the savage onset,,
and soon sank among the trees.
But the crows, crying "caw, caw,"
more defiantly than before, beat
upon him still, and at last the
hawk dropped the chick and an
grily dashed upward again. For
minutes the._baftlp raffvrt cny'lr,
ais defense, but the crows, using
:he same tactics, gradually drove
him higher and higher still, until
finally discomfited and thoroughly
beaten the bird of prey sailed off
to the South, whither he was fol
lowed miles and miles by two or
more pugnacious crows. The others
DOW flew in the opposite direction
and disappeared.
Meanwhile what had become of
the little white chick to whose res
cue these eight crows had so chiv
alrously gone? With feathers
sadly ruffled and her breast black
with the Blime of the bog into
which she had dropped from the
claws of the hawk, the dazed chick
was slowly and painfully hopping
back through the swamp to the
maternal roost.
An Independent Miller.
Wide Awake.
When Frederick built his fa
mous palace of Sans Souci, there
happened to be a mill that greatly
hampered him in the execution of
his plans, and he asked the miller
for how much he would sell it.
The miller replied that for a long
series of years his family had
owned the mill, which had passed
from father to son, and he would
not sell it any price. The king
used every solicitation, offered to
build a mill in a better place and
pay him besides any sum he might
demand, but the obstinate miller
persisted in his determination to
preserve the inheritance of his
ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct,
the king sent for him and said in
an angry tone :
"Why do you refuse to sell your
mill, notwitnstanding all the ad
vantages I have offered you?"
The miller repeated his reasons.
"Do you know," continued the
king, "that I co ld take it without
giving you a penny?"
"Yes" rejoined the miller,
calmly, "if it were not for the
chamber of justice at Berlin."
The king was so flattered by this
answer, which showed that he was
incapable of an act of injustice,
that he dismissed the miller with
out further entreaty and changed
the plan of his garden.
Liquor Commissioner Appointed.
New? and Courier.
COLUMBIA, S. C., March 21.-Mr.
D. H. Traxler, of Timmousville,
was to-day appointed Commis
sioner of the State Dispensary.
The appointment is to go into im
mediate effect. Mr. Traxler will
be here until to-morrow, and will
then go to his home and return
next week to take charge of the
preliminary arrangemonts for the
opening of the State Dispensary.
Mr. Traxler appears to be a good
man for the place and he has very
good recommendations. He was.
born in Charleston forty-three
years ago and in 1869 went from
Charleston to Timmonsville, where
he has since resided. For about
eighteen years he was the railroad
agent of the Atlantic Coast line at
Timmonsville. From 1883 to 1889
?fee served as'Treasurer for Darling
ton county, filling the office to the
entire satisfaction of all parties.
At the same time ie was interested
in a mercantile business at Tim
monsville, which was getting so
large that.he found it to his ad
vantage to retire from office and
devote himself to his business.
As to his politics he said that he
was fully identified with the Re
formers, although he has never
taken an active part in the politi
calrcontests. He said that he has
always been partial to the ideas of
the "Reformers.
JAIM Traxler in his talk gives
every indication of being a pretty
clear-headed man, and he expects
to~iun the Dispensary on strictly .
business principles. The Dispen
sary headquarters, he said, would
be in the Agricultural Hall.
How ?To Keep Irish Potatoes. <
Tfie Yorkville Enquirer gives the
plan pursued by Dr. John G.
Black, a successful. farmer at
Blacksburg, in keeping . Lush 1
potatoes through the winter, which
is as follows :
"As a rule, the Irish potatoes
preserved in this country are
vatery and not as good for - table
ise aa those which come from the
North. This is not on account of
;he difference in climate, or anv
iling of that kind; but the fault is I
with the.common method of pre- 1
lerving. The idea is to prevent
inch chemical changes as will
lestroy the starch. This can best ?
>e don?j>y the use pf. ff cool dark \
jeilArJrtr-?5iJB?* ?1^^J^T-^???^~?Z '
ventilation. To get more room, it 1
s a good idea to have tiers of
ihelving on the inside, one tier ?
;welve or fifteen inches above the 1
:.ther. On digging the potatoes, i
Dut them on these shelves to a
lepth of about four inches. Then
seep the door closed tight during .
;he day, and open at night until l
ibout the first of December, when 1
;he potatoes may be put in barrels
md headed up. After that, of '
course the door should remain
jlosed. Every week or two it is <
accessary to go over the potatoes ?
m the shelves and throw out all <
that are faulty. If treated in this
way, the potatoes are bound to be
as mealy as could be desired and
the flavor will bo delightful. I 1
have sold about eighty bushels of i
potatoes this winter at a dollar a
bushel, and the purchasers con
sider them in every respect equal
to the Northern potatoes."
A Reminiscence of Gen. Beau
gard.
Gen. Rosser is my authority in
the narration of au incident at
the first battle of Manassas, in
which he played a somewhat ridi
culous part. Af ter. the rout com
mended, Rosser, who was comman
ding artillery that day, was so
fortunate as to cut off and capture
about 1200 Yankees. Not knowing
what disposition to make of them,
he despatched one of his aidep, to
inform the cammanding general
(Beauregard) of the capture, and
to receive his commands in the
premises. Beauregard saw the
messenger advancing, with a small
guard and the prisoners a little in
the roar, and as the blue very de
cidedly outshone the gray, the
General, surrounded by a small
coterie of officers only, thought
that the Yankees must be after
him. As he quickened his pace
in another direction the couriers
(with their prisoners) quickened
theirs, and the race was a two
mile one before Beauregard ascer
tained the fact that he was ruuning
from his own men and "captured
enemies." He was very angry, and
it was with difficulty that they
could cool him down enough to
take a reasonable view of the mat
ter and to recognize the fact that
the mistake was his own.
The city council of Newberry
has put the tax up to five mills.
The shortage of revenue caused by
the abolition of barrooms necessi

General Eaton, United States
Commissioner of Education,states

Cling Desperately to Life.
New York Ledger.
Cats, according to the old tra
dition, have nine lives, but they are
not the only creatures that enjoy
such a plurality. Infusoria have
been dried and restored to life by
moistening af ter remaining inert
dust for 27 years, and the drying
resuscitation has been successfully
tried ll times on one lot of rotifers.
Frogs and mrmo fishes suffer no

Courage of Luther.
' As Luther drew near the door
which was about to admit him in
to the presence of judges (the
Diet of Worms), he met a valiant
knight, the celebrated George of
Taeundsburg, The old general,
seeing Luther pass, tapped him
on the shoulder and shaking his :
head, blanched in many battles,
Baid kindly: "Poor monk, poor
monk ! thou art now going to
make a nobler stand than I or any *
jther captains have ever made in '
the bloodiest of battles. But if 1
thy cause, is just, . and thou art 1
?ire of it, go forward in God's
name.and fearnothing. God will
not forsake thee*" *

The Farmer's Garden. t
Withthe majority of farmers the
garden is of very small considera
tion and its entire management is .
left to the'good wife. It consists of
a patch ot a few rode of ground in
jome corner, andji anally sliadngad -
^Ta^T?wtToT??T-collards-not >
iSnfcient to support ?the table for
i month.
The farmers garden should be \
large enough to grow not only an
tbundance of vegetables for the t
family, but also small fruits, such
LS strawberries, raspberries, blaok- J
aerries, and grapes. This will
take at least one-half an acre of
ground. This should be well loca
ted if good returns are expected, j
rhe'land should^be well ^drained,
md the soil a sandy loam.
The garden should be longer j
than it is wide, so as to have long
rows in cultivation and the most
af the work done with the horse.
You cannot apply too much (
manure if it is properly worked I
into the ground. Select the best <
di seed and only buy of reliable \
Beedmen. '

Dick's After Thougt. ]
A certain celebrated Southern 1
judge, who was not a believer ic. re
vealed truth, was in the habit of
twitting his body servant on re
ligious matters. "Dick, he said
one day, you say the devil besets ;
you ; now I want to know why he
lets a sinner like me off free?"
Dick could not tell why, but the
next day he went duck shooting
with his master. The first time the
judge fired into the flock he killed
two or three and wounded as
many more. At once the hunter
threw down his gun and with
sticks and stones tried to make
sure of his wounded game but paid
no attention to the dead ones
floating down stream.
"Massa," called Dick," it jist
coma to my mind why de debil
troubles me so much, sah, an let
you 'lone. You like de dead duck ;
he dun got you safe, sah : I is de
wounded duck ; I is tryin' to get
away, an' he feared I gwine do lt.
If you wuz to flutter a little, sah
and mek out you gwint git 'way, I
spece' he mek a big splash arter
you, same he do arter nie. sah."
How much Dick had to do
with the judge's finding the truth,
Dick's biographer does not know
but master and man at length sat
together at the Lord's table-Well

Why Easter Eggs Are Boiled.
In Christian^countries, from the
:ourlh century, the church prohi
jited the use of eggs during the
brtydays of Lent; but, as the
lens did not cease to-lay, a large
man ti ty of eggs were found to
lave accumulated at the end of
he. period of adstinence. Thew
vere usually given to the children,
tnd, in order to render them more
ittractive, they were dyed with
;ay colors or otherwise ornamented
V favorite game was to knock two
iggs together,and whichever broke
>ecame the property of him who
lad tho other. Of course this would
lot profit much if the eg?s were
n a fluid state, and thence came
he custom of boiling them hard.
