PUBLISHED EVERY TUE8DAY. ?IV10 IXtl.l.AK A V I : A It. (Bnt Jamil}} JWarj). THE DONATION PARTY. M Wo'ro great on donations, Elder ! we jlst go in heuvy on them things." Deacon Spears made this announce ment to the now minister, with un air of great moral virtue peculiar to the peoplo of Scragsby Corners. " I havo never found donation partieB very satisfactory," said the minister. " I would greatly prefer hav ing a utated salary and having it ptiid In oash." " Wall, yes, I s'pose you would," said tho doacon. " That's what all the ministers say. But yo soo it won't do hero in Scragsby Corners." ?' Why not 'i" said the ministor. " O, thoy'vo got In tho hahit of havin' donations, and they'd fool sorter offooded if a preacher sot his foot down uud said ho wouldn't have them. Some people give suthin' in that way that wouldn't give nothin' in cush, uud wo'ro bound to get all out of tho com munity that wo can, you hoc." " My experience hus been that a great deal of what peoplo bring to a donation party is worthless or useless," said the minister. "Wall, yes, I s'pose so," ussented the deacon. " Hut 'twouldn't do to kick ug'in donations on that account hero. You'd havo tho folks horo down on you." " Dear mo !" exclaimed Mrs. Spooner, in dismay, whon hor husbund told her that a donation party was being gotten up. " I did hope that we might escape tho infliction when wo came h?re. I don't think I was over moro voxed than I was tho morning aftor the last ono. There wasn't a room in tho house lit to use until it had been cleaned. Thoro was half a chocolate cako between tho pillows on tho parlor bed, and somo ono had omptied a plate of baked beans behind the sofa. It took mo all of two weoks to get straightened around; and now that we've just got settled, thoro's to bo another. It's too bad, but I don't know that wo can holp ourselves, since a ministor and his wife are considered obieets of charity, and therefore obliged to tako up whatever the peoplo seo fit to give thorn without the chance to say a word themselves." "A donation party will bo held at Elder Spoonor's next Thursday even ing, tho Lord willin,' and It is' hoped everybody will turn out, and bring somothin for the support of the gospel," Deacon Spears announced, ono Sat> bath, after service ; " Tho Lord loves a cheerful giver," ho added in a sort of postscript. Immediately thero was a buzz in tho femulo portion of the congregation, and little groups of women put their heads together and began discussing what to carry in tho shape of eatables; whilo tho men got together in tho vestibule and consulted with each other on what they were to " donate." " I reckon I'll tako beuns, this year," said Mr. Wado. " It's boon a groat yeur for beans. I ha'nt raised so big a crop any yoar since '66, as 1 can recol lect. I can. give beans without feolin' it much." "So can I," said Mr. Pettigrow. " I raised a big crop oil* of tho sidchill lot. I guoss I'll tako beans, too. I can spare 'om hotter than any thing also, and thoy ain't a-going to soil for much this yoar." Sovoral others who listened to their conversation conclud ed to tako beans also, lor it had been a great year for beans in Scragsby Cornoi'8. " I've got a good notion to tako some o' my Almiry's clothes,"said Mrs. Doa con Spoars to Mrs. Pettigrow. " She's outgrowod them, but they'd just about tit the preachor's oldest girl, I should judge, and thoy'ro most as good as now, somo of 'em. You don't s'pose Mrs. Spooner would feel put out about it, do you, Mrs. Pettigrow ? "I can't soo why she should. 'Ta'nt as if ministers could afford to bo inde pendent, you know. I s'pose I might tako some jaekots and trousers that are getting pretty snug for tho boys. I win, if you conclude to take some o' Almiry's dresses, Mrs. Spears," said Mrs. Pettigrew. "Wall, thon, s'ppOSO wo do," re sponded Mrs. Pettigrew.'' Tho eveuingof the donution party came. Tho lirst arrival at tho parson age was Mr. Wade. Ho mot tho minis ter who came to the door in answer to his knock, with a two-bushel bag full of something on his shoulder. " How'd do, Parson ! Beautiful night for the donation, ain't it V" was his greeting, as ho shook hands with the minister. " I've brought somo beans for yo. Fust-rate beans, too, you'll find. Beans is healthy livin.' 1 was raised on thorn. Nothin' better for the children." " You can put them in tho wood shed,' said Mr. Spooner. Just then Mr. and Mrs. Pettigrew drove up. "Hello. Parson, good evon'," called out Mr. Pettigrew. "I've got some beans hero for ye ; whoro'll you havo 'em put ?" " In tho woodshed," said the minis ter, with a smile at his wife. "It's going to be beans this year, my dear," in a whisper. Then other arrivals followed in rapid succession, and at Jeuat three out of every four brought beans. "I've counted fourtoen bushels already," whispered the minister to his wife, about eight o'clock, "and still thoro's moro to follow." "It's old clothes in my part of tho house," said Mrs. Spooner. "I do be lieve there's enough to last tho child ren until thoy aro all grown up, if they'd fit till that time, l ean imagine tho appoaranco they'd mako in them. No two aliko, and probably not one that would fit ono of tho children. It's too provoking for anything. If it wasn't for making tho peoplo mad, I'd soli the whole lot for rugs to the kfirst rag-peddler that comes along." " Brothers, and sisters, and friends, and noighbors,'' announced Deacon Spears, aftor supper, when the party was about to break up, " tho proceeds of this 'oro donation amounts to twenty aevon bushols of beuns, tbroo turkeys, u pig, two bushels of potatoes, and a largo amount of clothing, and some other things. In behalf of the Parson and his folks, I thank you for your liberality. Your kindness is appreciat ed by him and his, and I feel sartin, a.nd I'm suro his heart and hands is ?trongthoned by tho evidence of fellow ship on your part. Truly, as tho Psal mist says, 1 It is moro blossod to give than to recoivo.' "I cordially indorse tho sentiment from tho receiver's standpoint," said Mrs. Spooner, as thoy looked ovor tho "proceeds" of tho donation party whon thoy woro alono. "Just look ut tho collection of old clothos, Henry. I suggest you givo up preaching, and move to tho city, and I'll run an old ?slothos storo. We'd be well stocked up to begin with." "What will you do with tho stuff ?" asked tho ministor, turning ovor old jaokots and aprons, and othor articles .of clothing with a comical look of dis tnay on his face at tho formidahlo col lection. ** I think I shall mako about a hun dred yards of rag carpet," answered Mrs. Spooner. ,f That's about all a good deal of It Is fit for." One afternoon in the following week the ministor sat down to prepare a ?sermon for tho coming Sabbath. As iwa* often the case, ho talked it over \wjstb bis wife. When he road the .chapter he proposed to read at the .opening service, a suddon gleam of . <Uiiof,oe#?e Into Mrs. Spoonor's lace, But she ?aid nothing. During the n>tojoa frieg^i& the city, asking him if there was ally sale for beans. He had twenty-five bushels to dispose of at a low price, adding that it had been " a great year for beans at Sorsgsby Corners." When Sunday morning came, Mrs. Spooner sent her husband on to ohuroh ahead of her, undor the plea that she had not got tho children quite ready. "Don't wait forme, Henry," she said. ?' or you may bo too late. We'll get thore in timo for the sermon." Ho woh reading a chapter when the family arrived. Ho had reached tho verse in which tho lily of the valley is spokon of, and the words rolled on sonorously from his tonguo just as tho dooropened and Mrs. Spooner, followed by her ehildron, filed slowly and im pressively in. "Verily, I say unto you oven Solomon In all his glory was not arrayed like ono of thoso." As ho finished tho vorso ho looked up at tho advancing arrivals, and tho spectacle that mot his oyes tested his power of self-control more than anything else ho hud ever experienced, no afterward told his wife. His mouth twitched and a smilo flickored ubout his oyes, but ho managed to koep the grin that would huvo uppoared at tho faintest en couragement. Such a sight ! Tho oldest girl was arrayed in Almira's cast-off dross of navy bluo with some other girl's polo naise of red. Hor sistor was rosplen dont in a dress of Scotch plaid pattern of most gorgeous colors originally, but row somewhat subdued by time, but s'?ll vivid, and over it she wore a jucket about three slzos too small for her, tho picturesque costume being topped by a hat trimmed with old rib bon, freshly dyed a bright magenta color. Tho oldest boy had a pair of trousers which fairly draggod at tho heels und a jackot which was long enough for an overcoat, while tho other boy wore trousorsso short that they fuiled to meet tho top of a pair of bright bluo stockings, while the lacket refused to keop company with tho top of his trousers. Kach article had a peculiar color of its own, and the general appearanco was, as has been said, decidedly picturesque. The minister hud no inkling of what his wife intended to do, and the sight of his family so upset him for a moment that he read the verso ho had just fin ished over again. " Verily, I say unto you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like ono of these. A very audible titter went through tho younger portion of tho congregation ; some even laughed aloud. Mrs. Wade looked at Mrs. Pottigrow to seo what that estimable woman seemed to think of tho proceeding, but sho couldn't catch her eyo; she was too busily engaged in following the Scripture lesson to look at any ono. " I'll botshe's mud, though," thought Mrs. Wade. "One of them jackets und ono of them trousers came from her. I dunno, though, as they look any worse than that dress of Almirys does. I didn't Suppose she'd think of riggin' the children out in 'om to wear to ohuroh. I'll bet Mrs. Spooner has done it a purpose." Mrs. Spooner had " dono it a pur pose," as she admitted to her husband on the way home. " 1 don't think you ought to huvo dono it, Susie," ho said, gravoly, but there was a laugh in his eyes as ho said it, as ho looked at a group ahead. " Perhaps not," was his wifo's reply, " but 1 wanted them to see tho strik ing effect resulting from their generos ity. Of course, they can't got angry about it, sineo they gave tho clothes to ho worn. I think it'll have ono good effect, und that is, that old clothes won't bo ono of tho important features of tho noxt donation party hero. Mrs. Spooner was right. When tho noxt donation party occurred not ono garment was "donated." Mr. Spooner at last succeeded in disposing of his beans, hut he had to do so at a sacrifice, on account of its having been such a "great your for beans at Scragsby Cornei-a" that they overstocked the market. A PERIIjOUS SITUATION. The Self-Control of a Farmer Saved His Life. Not long ago an occurrence took placo near Centreville, Ind., which shows how important it is to keep one's wits undor control in a thno of danger. William Martin, an olderly hut still sturdy farmer, with his ten year-old son, was going along a lane on his farm leading by a ring and rope a blooded bull, which had always been perfectly docile. Near tho end of tho lane is a hay burn, and us this littlo procession was passing it the bull, with a hoarse bellow, rushed at the old farmer and catching him on his horns pinioned him against the barn. The boy, who was behind the bull, was frightened almost out of his wits, but the old man kept cool. The angry animal, when it turned and caught the farmer, had, instead of goring him, pressed ono of its horns on oither side of his legs, just below tho hips, and with deep reverberating bellowing, flashing oyes, waving tail and curved spine, stood pressing his sharp horns deeper and deeper into the boards at the old man's back, while tho earth beneath his foot was torn up and thrown far to the rear by Its furious efforts to crush tho object of its fury. Thus matters stood for a quarter of a minute. Tho farmer, although he did not ex pect to escape with his life, romained as cool as if no woro simply milking a cow. Ho told his son. who was stand ing as If paralyzed staring at tho maddened bull, to run homo and got tho gun. Tho house was a quarter of a mile away and the boy ran some distance when the farmer remembered that there was a stout, longtinud pitch fork in tho barn against which the bull was squeezing him tighter und tighter. ITo called the boy back, and told him to get tho pitchfork. He got the fork and came back. Tho farmer directed him to tho loft sido of the bellowing, pawing hu\\f pointed out to him about where tho animal's heart lay beneath tho thick hide, and told him to placo the tines against tho bull's sldo at that spot. These orders woro all given with the greatest coolnoss and deliberation by tho farmor, who was by this timo covered with the foam that Hew from the mouth of tho enraged bull. When tho boy placed tho sharp tines of tho fork against tho bull's side, the father said : , " iSow push with all your might und main !" Tho boy threw all of his weight and foreo against tho handle of tho fork, sinking tho tines their entire length into the bull's side. The unimal drop* pod to his knees as if ho had boon shot, and with ono tromendous bellow rolled ovor on his side doad. The tines had passed clear through his heart. Tho old farmer foil to tho ground, too, for ho was badly bruised, and almost exhausted. Ho soon ro eovorcd and hobbled homo. His cool neHH had saved him. If ho had strug gled to oscupo tho bull would havo almost instantly gored and trampled him to death. ?A part of tho last lottor ever writ ton by Stonowall Jackson is in the possession of an old Confederate soldier in Charleston, Wogt Virginia. The lottor was wrltton by Jaekson aftor his wound received on tho fateful hold of Chancollorsvillo to tho pootess, Mrs Margaret J. Proston, tho sistor of his first wife. Jackson lay dying, and tho people of tho South, or rather a por tion of thorn, woro questioning tho goodness of a Providence in snatching away from them in the hour of their need the right arm of the Confederacy. Here aro the closing lines of tho let ter : " Hut God's timo is the beet timo, and I thank Him for onabllng mo to say that His timo is my own," and thou upon tho other side is the sigoatuv.^ " Your brother, Thomas J. Jaekoor OUR GRANDFATHER'S RIFLE. Bill Arp l)lacour*?i About the Old* Time Flint and Steel Guu and the Improvement In Firearms. Atlanta Constitution. The ages have their names historic and prehistoric. There are the stone age, the bronzo age, tho iron age, tho golden ago and the dark agos, but the age in which we live may well be called tho age of invention. Never belore in the history of the world has there been such an era of wonderful invention and contrivances for the use and comfort and conveniences of mankind. And it does not stop or even call a halt. Kvery year brings now surprises, and I now when we hear of some bold, in comprehensible proposition wo do not dare to say it is impossible. .There is no advanoo in literature or painting or architecture or oratory or many other arts that require tho highest order of intellect. Indood, it is to be lamented that we no more havo a Shakespeare or Milton or Goldsmith or Burns or Tom Mooro; no moro a Raphael or Michael Augelo; no more a Cicero or a Burke or Webstor. Ripe scholar ship has declinod, and this gonoration has nolther time nor taste for it, but in everything that lessens labor and cheapens the necessaries and comforts of lifo wo are far ahead of our ancestors. I was ruminating about this because I happenod to como across an old-timo rillo with n Hint lock and I handled it with rovi 'co, for it had lirod and fought h. ackson's war at New Orleans, an. was still prosorved and honored by tho groat-grandsons of tho soldier who loaded it bohind th?> cot ton balos and waitod to see the whites of tho euomios's oyes before he pulled tho trlggor. The name of this rifle was etclied in a rude way upon tho barrel, and it was " Botsy." All of them had names in tho olden times? j fominino namos, such as Botsy or Botsy I Jano or Betsy Ann or Susan or Polly ) or Mandy or Kallino. Many of these old-timo rifles are still in uso, but tho old Hint lock has gone. Such a lock is a curiosity now. A town-ralsod boy has novor seen one. Tho hardware stores havo ceased to koop them. The gunmakers havo coascd to mako thorn, and yot theso are th 3 locks that did the work iu tho 1 evolution and last British war and the Mexican war and mado many an Indian bite tho dust, many a deer and turkoy givo their moat to tho hunter. I used to soil theso locks whon I was a boy clork in my father's storo, and could talk fluently about tho hammer and frizzen and roller and tumbler and tho dog and tho pan. We sold flints by tho score?flints that were warrant ed sure lire. The flint was mado fast between two clamps in tho cock or hammer, and whon the hammer was projected forward against tho steel frizzen tho contact mado spartcs to fall and they fell into tho little powdor pan that was attached to tho touch hole. If tho touch hole was stopped up there was u " flash in tho pan ' and that was all. If the flint did not mako a spark, then the rule was to "pick jour flint and try it again." Tho powdor in tho little pan was called tho priming, and if it was not socuroly covered by the frizzen and got wot in tho rain, it would not ignite and honco the soldior was enjoined to "keep your powdor dry." Theso old-timo oxpressious aro still familiar and historic. Sometimes wo still hear a backwoodsman say " now cut your patches," which is an expres sion of defiance and comes from tho manner of loading a riflo. A small piece of cloth or rag was laid over the muzzle, tho bullet laid upon it and prcssod down into tho bore just enough to clear tho knifo and then the cloth or patch was cut off smooth with tho top of tho gun. The patching had to bo just thick enough to make tho bullet go do'.vn tight whon forced by the ramrod ; sometimes it wont too tight and would get lodged hard and fast and had to bo blown out by putting powdor in tho touch hole. The bullets were all molded at home, and if tho necks were not cut off very smooth, it mado them deflect a little and miss tho gunner's aim. This de flection was very bad until rifles wero invented. Rifles mean little spiral i grooves extending from tho muzzle to tho breech. They give tho ball a rotary motion before it leaves tho guu and kcops that motion in its flight, and oven if a hall is a llttlo ono-sided or irregular.it will i(ostraight to tho mark. The gun took itsnamo from tho grooves that woro called rifles. For years and years a man by tho name of Rogers 'made rifles in Augusta, Ga., and they were celebrated all over tho South. Tho equipments of a rifleman wero many and peculiar, and wero all homo made. His powdorhorn was a cow's horn, that had been boiled and scraped and filed until it was thin and clear and translucent. The charger was a ?muH tube, made of a turkoy bone or 'possum log or boar's tusk, and held just a charge for tho gun. A charge of powdor is just enough to hido a bullet when iu tho open, palm of tho hand. Tho charger hold that much and had a lip on ono side. The powdor was carefully poured iu tho gun and thou tho patch in was next in order. Now put on your ball and cut your putchin and ram her homo. Then tho frizzen was thrown back with tho thumb and the touch-hole and tho pan wero filled from' tho powdor horn, while tho gunner held tho stopper be tween his teeth. The frizzen was shut down und Botsy Jane was loadod. The shot pouch was mado of door skin or coon skin and ornamented with the tail of tho animal and some times with beads and ombroidory. It contained various things besides tho bullet molds and tho bullets and the natch in. There was grcaso for the lock and gun wipers and flints and screw driver and a wire for the touch hole. Botsy and her turn-out was as much a part of the housohold as tho baby. I used to trot aftor ono of theso old riflemen and carry his squirrols and seo him walk round tho tree or watch and wait until tho little fellow sly'y exposed his head and eruck wont tho gun and away sped tho ball into his eye. A good rifleman never broke a bone in tho body of his game. I know ono now who will shoot a chicken or u guinea in tho eye at sixty yards otT hand. When his wife wants ono for dinner ho takes down Botsy and stands in the piazza until ono comos in sight. But the old locks passed away when tho poroussion came. Thon 1 got to soiling cups instead of flints. And now tho caps havo ulmost passed away and tho muzzle-louders aro going. There is no powder horn nor ramrod. Botsy and Jano aro out. Good grac ious! If Jackson's men had had thoso breech-loading double-barrolod guns, with a bag full of she! Is, thoro wouldn't havo boon a man left of all Packon hain's army. But I don't like theso modern mur derous weapons from Krupp's great guns down to the mean, llttlo, sly, devilish, hip-pocket pistol. I wish thoy woro all abolished, especially the pistol. I verily believe that Judgo Hammond told tho truth whon no chargod tho grand jury that ovory man who carried one about with him was a coward. " Yes, gentlemon, I charge you that a man who carries a pistol habitually has got a stroak of cowardlco running down his backbono us big as a fenco rail?and that's the law." But tho old-timo rlflo \* a quiet, peaceable gun. It is dlgnifiod. It makos but little noiso and it takes a cool, unexcited man to use it in a proper manner. A man who is mad enough with anothor man to kill him never says I'll get a riflo and shoot him. But he says : " I'll got mo a double-barrel ed shotgun and blow his brains out." or els? ho slips upon hlm^ with ono of theso little, dirty, sneaking pistols and shoots him unawares. But the mlllonlum hasn't come yot, and folks will keep on killing folks awhile longer!. Ever since Cain killed Abel and LAnioob killed the young man, folks have been killing folks and the deril is at the bottom of it all? will the time ever come when a man will not resist evil; when the Chris tian who is stricken on one oheek will turn the other to his foe? Did the Savior mean that? If he did, how many Christians are there ? BILL ARP. A SUCCKSSFUL FAHMlilt. Flvo Hundred Bales of Cotton Rained By One Man in Anderson County. Col. Robert A.

C, State Agon IMPORTANT nominations. The New Associate Justice and the ' Ambassador to Italy. The President hist week sent in the nomination of William B. Hornblower, of Now York, to be Associate Justice of the Supremo Court of the United States, vico Justiou Blatcliford. dooeas ed, and also of James Van Allen, of Rhode Island, to be Ambussador Ex traordinary and minister Plenipoten tiary to Italy. Judge Hornblower is a prominent and widely known Now York lawyer, who has tor many years had a very largo praetlco before tho Suprome Court, in which ho will soon beeomo a member. Senator MoPherson, who knows him passonally, says he is a man of strong mind and of great judicial attainments, witli a natural aptitude for constitutional subjects. He comes of a family, of jurists, his father having boon "the late Chief JuBtlcoof New Jersey, while his grand father was a leading practitioner at the Bar of his day. Mr. Hornblower was for a number of years the law partner of Ex-Govornor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, and is a relative by marriage of tho latoJustico Bradley, who marrlod a Miss Hornblower, in stature Judge Hornblower is small, reminding ono very much of tho pro sent Chief Justice of the Supremo Court. Ho is a trustee of tho Now York Life Insurance Company, of which Wm. R. Grace is a director. It is evident that the appointment of Hornblowor will not bo received with plousure by all the politicians of Now York. Senator Hill declined to dis cuss tho nominee, but said that tho Domocrnts of Now York would bo dis appointed. " Tho Democrats of Now York," said ho, " preferred tho nomi nation of Judge Ruf us W. Peckham, of tho present Court of Appeals." No one will say, however, so far as the qualifications of Mr. Hornblowor are concerned, that it is not a strong ap pointment. Mr. Van Allen is ono of tho connec tions of the Now York Asters, being a son-in-luw of Wm. B. Astor and the possessor of great wealth by inheri tance, which will enablo him to main tain the costly office of ambassador to Italy with becoming state. Ho Is about 10 years of age, and is credited I with Rhode Island citizenship through bis possession of a princely establish ment at Newport, where part of his time is spent, ulthough he is almost as well-known in European capitals as in Rhode Island. Mr. Van Allen never figured prominently in politics in tho souse of active personal participation. New YORK, Sept. 21.?Tho World j this morning comes out in a three column story, in which it intimates I that J. J. Van Allen, of England and I Newport, who was chosen by Clove land to be tho first American ambassa dor to Italy, secured his appointment through a liberal subscription to tho campaign fund. Van Allon is, to use his own words, one of tho gentry, and says: "Amer ica is no fit place for ladies and gen tlemen to live in." Tho World says: "Cleveland cer tainly doesn't know the character of tho man who he sends to Rome?send ing a secondhand Englishman who will bo despised by the Americans and ignored by the English. This appoint ment is an insult to every citizen who does not share tho conviction that this country is unfit for ladies and gentle men ; an insult to every worthy Ameri can who has represented this country abroad from Franklin to Bayard." The Storm Prophet.?-How much damago tho recent eyolono did wo are coming to know, at least in part, but how much more destruction of property and loss of life it might have been re sponsible for hud it not been predicted by the weather bureau, and mariners and others thus warned of its approach, it is impossible to form any estimate. Tho man who foresaw and foretold this storm, as ho has foreseen and foretold many another, is Cleveland Abbe, " professor of meteorology in the signal service, and assistant to the chief Signal officer,'' as ho was originally designated in 185)1, a position which ho still holds, with a slight change of title since tho transfer of the. weather bureau to tho Agricultural Depart ment. The fact that the entire sys tem, of which he is the working head, is tho outcome of efforts begun by him whilo director of tho Cincinnati ob servatory, makes him a life-savor of unparalleled accomplishment, whilo tho destruction of crops and vessels that his predictions have prevented would have mounted up into the multi millions. In Professor Abbe's view it is very doubtful whether it is wise to trust the futuro of meteorology entirely to tho uncertainties of political life at Wash ington. Every State, in his opinion, should have its State weather service, as originally initiated by General Hasen, and every college should have a course in meteorology, while special schools should bo established.

The treas ury warrant for tho $4,100 due to him as salary was sent to tho white house as usual by incsssonger. All of tho cabinet ollicers received their wages in tho yellow metal. Each of them, that Is to say, was obliged to accept just about throe pounds uvoirdupois of specie. Such a heft can hardly be car ried In tho pocket comfortably, so See rotary lloke Smith sent his share home in a cab. Mr. Cleveland's stipend for the month, if it had been dolivored to him In gold, would have tipped tho scales at a trillo over sixteen pounds. His salary for ono year in tho same metal would weigh just about 200 pounds. That would be US much of tho precious yellow substance as he could carry in a sack. Probably that was us large a quantity as the noble Athenian whom I King Croesus of Lydia allowed to help himself from his treasury wus able to convey away, though he nearly choked himself by filling his mouth.
