Humorous ?Jepttrtmcnt.1
A Mystery Explained.?One of the,
most learned and dignified members of the |
Austin bar got a terrible rebuff from Old
Uncle Mose last week. The old man had j
Jim Webster hauled up before Justice Oregg J
for stealing his Spanish chickens. As Jim |
Webster has political influence, he was de-1
fended by two lawyers. Uncle Mose was |
put #n the stand and made out a bad case
against Jim Webster, testifying to having
found some of the chickens in Jim's posses- J
sion, aud identified them by the peculiari- j
ties of the breed.
One prominent lawyer then undertook to i
make Uncle Mose weaken on the crossexamination.
"Now, Uncle Mose," said the lawyer,
"suppose I was to tell you that I have at
home in my yard half a dozen chickens of
that identical same breed ?"
"What do you suppose I would say,
boss ?"
"Yes, what would you say if I was to tell
you I've got that same kind of chickens in
my yard ?"
"I would say, boss, that Jim Webster paid
up yer fee wid my chickens," and a pensive
smile crept aryind under the old man's
ears and met at the back of his head.
. A Mistake Was Made.?A young lady
gave "her young man" a beautifully worked
pair of slippers, and he acknowledged the
present by sending her his picture encased in
a handsome frame. He wrote a note to send
with it, and at the same time replied angrily
to an oft-repeated dun for an unpaidfor
suit of clothes. He gave a boy 10 cents
to deliver the package and notes, giving explicit
directions as to the destination of
each. It was a boy with a freckled face,
and he discharged his errand in a manner
that should give him a niche in the temple
of fame. The young lady received the note
in her adored one's hand-writing, and flew
to her room to devour its contents. She
opened the missive with eagerness and read :
"I'm getting tired of your everlasting attentions.
The suit is about worn out already.
It never amounted to much anyway.
Please go to thunder." And the tailor was
struck utterly dumb when he opened a parcel
and discovered a picture of his delinquent
customer, with a note that said:
"When you gaze upon the features think
how much I owe you." When the unfortunate
young man called around that evening
to receive the happy acknowledgements of
his sweetheart, he was very ostentatiously
shoved off the steps*by the young lady's
father.?San Francisco Chronicle.
Tom Marshall and the Judge.?Tom!
Marshall was engaged in the trial of a case
in the interior of Kentucky, when a decision
of the judge struck him as so bad that he
rose and said:
"There never was such a ruling' as that
since Pontius Pilate presided 011 the trial of
Christ."
"Mr. Clerk," responded the Judge, "fine
Mr. Marshall $10 for contempt of court."
"I coufess, your honor," continued Tom,
"that what I said was a little hard on-Pontius
Pilate, but it is the first time in the
history of Kentucky jurisprudence that it is
held that to speak disrespectfully of Pontius
Pilate is disrespect of the court."
"Mr. Clerk, make the fine $20 for a continuous
contempt," said the judge, solemnly.
"Well, judge," Tom added, "as -you won
all my money last night at poker, lend me
the twenty."
"Mr. Clerk," cried the judge, hastily, "remit
the fine. The State can afford to lose
the money better than I can."
"I congratulate the court upon its return
to a sane condition," said Tom, resuming his
seat amid roars of laughter.
JST" Hon. P. K., late probate judge of a
neighboring county, was waited on one warm
afternoon, by a buxom matron, with a child
in her arms, whose business was, as she
said, "of a probate nature." Mr. K. being
a polite man, intimated his readiness to learn
her wishes. "Now, said she, hushing her
baby, and squaring hex-self for a regular
talk, "you see, judge, my husband was a
forehanded man, and left a good farm, well
stocked ; and just because I am a lone woman
in the world, his relations are going to
throw me out of all but my third. "Now,
lawyer told me some time ago that if
there was an heir he would take it all, and
I should be his guardian." "How long since
your husband died," asked the judge.
"About thirteen months," was the reply.
"And how old is the child ?" "Four weeks,"
was the answer. "I am afraid this case is
beyond my jurisdiction," said the judge,
"you had better go back to Squire ."
"But," said the woman, "if your probate
court can't establish an heir, what is it good
for?"
School Learning.?A female teacher of
a school, that stood on the banks of a quiet
English stream, once wished to communicate
to her pupils an idea of faith. While
she was trying to explain the meaning of the
word, a small covered boat glided in sight
along the stream. Seizing upon the incident
for an illustration, she exclaimed?
"If I were to tell you that there was a
leg of mutton in that boat you would believe
me, would you not, even without see
ing it yourself?"
"Yes, ma'am," replied the scholars.
"Well, that is faith," said the schoolmistress.
The next day, in order to test their recollection
of the lesson, she inquired?
"What is faith?"
"A leg of mutton in a boat," was the answer
shouted from all parts of the school*
room.
Mkasurk for Mkastkk.?A friend tells
us the following anecdote, which we pronounce
decidedly good: "One of the storekeepers
of this place, a few days since, purchased
of an Irish woman a quantity of butter,
the lamps of which intended for pounds,
he "weighed in the balances and found wanting.'
"Sure it's your fault if they arc light,"
said Biddy, in reply to the complaint of the
buyer, "it's your own fault, sir?for wasn't it
a pound of soap I bought here myself, that I
had in the other end of the scale when I
weighed 'em !" The storekeeper had nothing
more to say on the subject.
8ST" A Quaker, it is said, took a remarkably
fine looking horse to market, for sale,
and asked a high price for it. The animal
attracted much notice, a bargain was soon
struck, the money paid, and a receipt given.
The buyer was examining his purchase with
scrutinizing admiration, when the Quaker
said :
"Well, friend, doth thou see any fault in
him?"
"None, whatever," was the reply.
"Neither will he ever see any in thee,"
said the Quaker.

"You prefer the Psalms. Well, some people

May.?May is considered an unfortunate
marrying month. A down east editor says
that a girl was asked not long since to unite
herself in the silken tie to a brisk lad. who
named May in his proposal. The lady tenderly
hinted that May was an unlucky
month for marrying. "Well, make it June
then," honestly replied the swain, anxious
to accommodate. The damsel paused a moment,
hesitated, cast down her eyes and said
with a blush, "Wouldn't April do as well?"
BUstf "Why did jou send me such a barrel
of apples?" indignantly exclaimed a man to
his grocer. "What ailed the apples?" asked
the grocer. "Why they opened well enough
at the top, but grew worse all the way
down." "The trouble was," said the grocer,
"that you opened the barrel at the wrong
end. If you had opened the other end first
voti would have found the apples growing
bettor all the way down,"

. SELL WATEK. HI T DO MIT MY IT.
Some farmers find il very hard to believe,
that in one ton of ordinary stable manure, j'
there aro fifteen hundred nounds of water, I
and less than thirty pounds of real phut:
food, such as we get in our best commercial |
fertilizers. Because this water does not all
run out, they do not see how it can be there. '
Vet it is, as can he proved by weighing the
wet manure, then drying it perfectly and
weighing it again. In Irish potatoes, and
many of our vegetable crops, there is 80 per 1
cent, of water. The more water in any crop ;'
you sell from your farm, the less fertility you |,
take from it. So do not buy water from |
some Yankee farmer in the form of Irish po-1
tatoes at Sl.oO a bushel for seed. Potatoes, '
and many other similar crops, do not impov- '
erish the soil: but cotton and grain crops, if
sold off the farm, do, as they contain a large
amount of the mineral elements of the soil, j
I saw today the sales-bills of a farmer of <
this section, who realized (10 cents a bushel,
7 7 (
net, for his Irish potatoes, shipped to Charles- '
ton. His crop yielded 400 bushels per acre.
What other crop will beat ?200 to the acre?
This is selling water at a good price.

STORM DAMAGED CORN'. j
The recent disastrous storms of wind and ! i
rain have left many thousand acres of corn ]
in York county in a precarious condition, j'
The blades being torn into shreds, arc unfit j'
to pull and cure for fodder, and the ears are j
rendered much more liable to damage by wet i,
weather or floods. i
My advice is to cut this corn and shock it ! I
in the highest places on lowlands, in shocks j<
containing about a hundred stalks each, j
Tie the shocks near the top with twine or
other suitable material, drawn tightly, so as ]
to exclude the rain. Let the corn stand in ! i
this condition fifteen or twenty days, or Ion- '
ger if necessary ; then drive the wagon j
alongside the shocks, untie them and shuck ]
the corn, leaving the shucks on the stalks.
Then replace the stalks in the shocks and
tic them as before. Allow the stalks to re- 1
main in the shocks until the butts of the !
stalks are dry, when they should be hauled 1
and put under shelter; or if you have not the ;
barn room, they may be racked convenient
to the barn.
These stalks, if run through a cutter, will
furnish a large amount of forage for wintering
stock, and if the parts not eaten are
thrown in the stalls for litter, you will find
- ? 1 -1.. :.w.w...erw] .

and, besides, the cut stalks are an excellent I
absorbent of the liquids, which are the I
most valuable part of the manure. No
where else except- in the land of cotton, are
corn blades pulled from the stalks for forage,
but the entire stalk is utilized as above described.

SOW I Ml WIIRAT.
This is a thread-bare subject, but if we
ever expect to become self-sustaining in our
farming operations, we must devote more
thought and study to the subject than we
have done in years past, when this crop has
been merely scratched in without manure,
except it may be a few bushels of cotton
seed to the acre, and without that thorough
and intelligent preparation of the soil, which i
seems to be even more necessary for a satisfactory
yield of this crop than any other
we plant.
In the first place, you must have good
seed?plump well developed grain?so as to
insure a strong and vigorous growth from
the outset. In the second place, the soil
must be in some measure suitable for wheat
growing. In the third place, it must be
properly prepared before the wheat is sown.
It is a well settled fact among the most
succcessful growers of this crop, that a
cloddy, lumpy soil, as usually left.by an
ordinary plowing and harrowing, cannot,
except under otherwise extremely favorable
circumstances, produce a crop of wheat that
will pay for the labor expended upon it.
It is also a fact, equally well established,
that a soil thoroughly pulverized and fined j
as for a seed bed, and wheat sown upon it |
in this condition, is the next worst way to'
the one just mentioned. This latter mode)
of preparing the soil and sowing the seed, is!
tlie one practiced hy many of the host farm-1
ers of tliis section.
The objection to this so-called thorough
preparation of the soil is, that the farmer
first plows his land several inches deep and
then, with the ordinary harrow, pulverizes
the soil to perhaps half the depth that it
has been plowed. Thus, we have a surface
soil, in which the seed are sown in a dry,
loose condition, and the plowed soil under-:
neath is full of clods and air spaces, the two j
making the worst possible conditions for tbe i
early growth of any delicate plant. The
top soil soon becomes dry and powflery un- j
less you have timely rains. The plant, if it,
comes up at all before the winter rains set I
in, shows a sickly and starved condition,
and makes but little root during the
winter season, and the subsoil being cloddy, i
the roots are not able to get much nourishment.
The ideal condition of the soil for a wheat \
crop, is to have it thoroughly broken with a i
a turn-plow, at least from four to six inches
deep, and cross harrowed to the depth plow- i
ed, with a disk or acme harrow?Corbin's disk
harrow being preferable. This should be done
by the loth of September, so that the rains
may slightly compact the soil, that it may
retain moisture, and then, without further
preparation, this being well done, sow your
wheat and harrow it in with the disc harrow,
set to cut two inches deep. Then follow with j
a roller, or a drag made of brush or plank, j
to firm the soil about tbe seeds and secure j
t her quick germination and vigorous growth.
I have said nothing about manuring this
crop, but take it for granted that no one
would sow wheat without using as much
manure as he would use on the same land to !
make a good crop of cotton. But if I had j
to choose between sowing wheat on land ,
prepared as 1 have deeribed, without manure,
or upon land prepared as is usually done
with manure, I would choose the former. j

THK LAST (IF SUMTER'S MEN.
It \v:is a dreary day in January, lS4!i,
when, at 3 o'rloek in the afternoon, I arrived
nt Mr. Leslie's plantation, within two miles
of King's Mountain battle ground, in South
Carolina. I had traveled with a light wagon
the rough road that skirted the l'uot of
King's Mountain. The heavens were shrouded
with clouds, and melting snow and mud
more than fetlock deep had jaded my horse.
I explained to Mr. Leslie the object of my
journey, expressed a desire to visit the hatLie
ground that afternoon, and asked him to
diow me the way.
"Your beast is tired," he said. "I have
Lwo good saddle horses in the stable."
Thcv were brought out. We rode to the
famous field among the wooded-gravel hills,
riewed the topography of that strange battle-ground,
made two or three sketches, and
returned at twilight. William McKlwce,
Mr. Leslie's father-in-law, bad just arrived,
lie was a stout built man with an unmistaktble
Scotch face, flowing white hair, blue
jyes, and as vigorous in appearance as a hale
man of (>0. He was the last survivor of
hunter's famous partisan band in the old
war for Independence. His reminiscences
were the theme of the evening's conversation.
"When did you join Sumter?" I inquired.
"Just before Clinton took Charleston, and
Dornwallis began to overrun the State,
fouth Carolinians were discourgcd, and hunIredstook
British protection. Sumter would
lot yield, but retired into North Carolina,
t followed him. There he gathered a little
band of exiles and we returned. Sumter
jailed for recruits. But few came until
we struck the camp of wicked Houck,
near Brattonsville, in York district, one hot
night in July, killed him, and scattered his
iviiole army to the winds. Our party numicrcd
only 180 all told. Timid men took
jourage, and joined the standard of Sumter.
Governor Butlcgc made him a brigadier and
[ was commissioned a lieutenant.
"We struck British and Tory parties
here and there so unexpectedly and sharply
that Cornwallis declared that Sumter
was the greatest plague in the country.
Before the end of July, our little army
numbered about 000, and was daily increasing.
Sumter felt strong, and determined to
attack a British and Tory force at Boeky
Mount, a little west of the Catawba river.
They were only about 250 strong, and were
stationed in three log houses near the foot of
the slope, and surrounded by abatis, as the
French call it?a row of felled trees, laid
brush end forward. We had no cannon, so
we got on top of the hill, filled an old wagon
with dry brush and straw from the abatis,
fired it, and sent the blazing mass down the
slope against the log-houses. The British,
seeing their peril, hoisted a white flag. At
that moment a shower of rain put out the
fire and the little garrison defied lis. We
could do nothing, so we withdrew, crossed the
Catawba, and pushed on toward Hanging
Bock."
"What caused your defeat there?" I inquired.
"Bum, sir!" said the old soldier emphatically.
"Hum, the deadliest enemy of mankind.

all behind. Their camp was tempting, and
our men, instead of pursuing, engaged in
plundering. They drank freely of the liquor
found in the British quarters. Our force became
disordered, and when the British rallied,
two-thirds of our men were too drunk to do
duty. With about two.hundred men, brave
Sumter charged upon the enemy ; but seeing
a reinforcement for them coming, we retreated
with some prisoners and booty."
"You were hard pushed at Fishing creek,"
I remarked.
"Indeed we were ; surprised?badly surprised."
"I thought Sumter was always wide
awake," I said.
"So lie was; but accidents will happen in
the best of families, you know. Sumter had
been sent by dates to intercept a British escort
from Ninety-Six. We captured more
than forty wagons, loaded with clothing and
stores, and were returning to the Waterec,
when we heard of the defeat of dates, near
Camden. So we went tip the river about
forty miles, and halted for needed rest near
the mouth of Fishing creek. We did not
dream that an enemy was near. At noon on
a hot August day, while our arms were stacked,
the horses were grazing, and more than
half the men were asleep under the trees, the
fiery Tarleton, with his cavalry, dashed
among us, seized our arms and horses, killed
about one hundred and fifty of our men,
and made three hundred prisoners. Sumter,
who seemed never to sleep, seeing his men
slaughtered and dispersed, sprang upon his
big white horse, and closely followed by myself
and a drummer-boy with his drum, both
on a bay mare, lied into North Carolina, nor
stopped until we reached Charlotte. We
made a sorry figure when we rode into the
village. Sumter was without a hat ; I was
without a coat; and the drummer boy, sitting
astride behind me, was nearly naked,
having just come out of the creek in which
lie had been bathing. Our horses were without
saddles."
"What then V" I asked.
"Action ! Only Marion was then in the field
with the Whigs, in South Carolina. Sumter
immediately went to the upper country,
where a few of his men who had escaped,
joined him, and many volunteers Hocked t?i
liis standard. We were then all mounted,
and were soon joined by other parties. We
had an opportunity, presently, to show
Tarlelon that Americans could strike heavy
blowsns well as the British. Jfe chased us iatt
iu November. We had encamped at Blackstocks,
on the Tyger river, in I'liion district
when Tarleton overtook us with a part ol
his Ibrce. We fought desperately, and at
dusk set Tarleton running for life and liberty,
leaving about two hundred of bis men
on the lield, nearly one hundred of them
dead.''
"I have heard there were many brave
women in that region," I observed.
"Brave ! Why, they helped the causi
almost as much as the men ! There were
(trace and Rachel Martin, Mrs. Dillard
Dicey Langston, and scores of others iu thai
lonely country left at home by the men in
arms, and they performed their part in the
contest. (5race and Rachel were the youn?i
wives of two sons of Mrs. Martin, of NinetySix
district, who were in (Jreene's army,
These young women were with their motherin-law.
One evening they were informed that
a British courier, with two guards, would
pass that way with important dispatches foi
a British post beyond. They put on tiieii
husband's clothes, provided themselves with
arms, and lay in ambush by the side of tin
wood. Late in the evening, the courier and
his escort came, along, when the younjj
women suddenly sprang before them, presented
their weapons, and bade the travelers
surrender with their papers. I'tterly
surprised, they obeyed, and were paroled,
Returning, they stopped at Mrs. Martin'."
and craved accommodations for the night
(hi being asked why they returned so soon
they said they had been made prisoners by
two lads, and showed their parole. Tin
young women allowed their captive guest?
to depart the next morning, ignorant that
their captors had entertained them. Tin
dispatches were sent to (Jreene."
"Who was Dicey Langston?" r inquired.
"A trirl as brave and patriotic as Joan ol
Arc, and not so old?only liftocn or sixteen.
She was the daughter of a Whig in
Laurens district, whose son was in my company
in Sumter's army. She was continually
getting valuable information about
the movements of the Tories, and informing
the Whigs. At one time she heard that
Cunningham and his ''Bloody Scouts" were
about to attack a settlement in which hei
near relatives lived. She determined id
give them warning. Leaving her home
near midnight, she sped through swamps
and thickets, and across running streams,
tintiI she reached the Tpger river. It was
swollen, and the ford was dangerous. She
pressed into the river in the darkness, and
in the channel, neck deep, became confused.
But she reached the shore, and gave the
warning, and when the scouts came, the inhabitants
had lied to a place of safety. One
day she was captured by some Tories, and
ordered to give information about a Whig
neighborhood from which she bad come.
She positively refused. The leader, placing
a pistol to her breast, said, ''Tell, or you
shall die in your tracks." She snatched oil
a long kerchief, which covered her neck
and bosom, and said, "Shoot me, if you
dare! I will not tell." He was about to
lire when a companion threw up his hand
and saved the brave girl's life. I might tell
you u hundred stories of our brave women,!
hut it is gcttihg late."
"Tell me, please," I said, "where were!
you at the time of the battle of King's)
Mountain?"
"In it," he promptly replied. "I was at j j
; home on parole, and volunteered to resist
j Ferguson and his Tories. We met him
among these gravel-hills you saw to-day.
lie was killed, and a large portion of his
men were made prisoners. You saw the;
stone that marks the place where he fell j
j and was buried."
j "Yes, and made this sketch of it," hand1

: the trees nearest the memorial stone, "I saw

We have for a number of years been
, in the habit of using Buggies as pre|
niiuins, and experience has taught us
that such a premium meets with geni
eral approval. At first we offered CinIcinnati
Buggies, worth about $55, but
I found that while thev were all that
?

| of a grade that fully met the requirei
incuts of this section, and our two last
| offers in Buggies have been the product
j of our own "Carolina Buggy Company,"
which is acknowledged to be a
leader in the manufacture of high grade
1 vehicles. These buggies met with the
: endorsement of our friends. They
knew that the winner of the buggy
would get something of which any
man might well be proud. Fully realizing
the standing and reputation of
j the "Carolina," we have arranged to
! offer one of the Company's best

CORBIN
DISK
HARROW.
Dl. RINO the past four years, the readers of!
Tin: Knqi:iheii have been told not less
than one hundred and fifty times, that the
t'ORBIN DISK HARROW is the best farming
implement ever introduced in the South, and the j
reasons /or making this broad and sweeping J
claim have been stilted over and over again, and |
not only have the claims been made, but their
correctness
HAS BEEN PROVEN
Lime and again by the statements, or testimonials
of as good and as reliable men as can be found
in York county or anywhere else?men whose
word is their bond. Notwithstanding all this,
inure; aru Nuoru* in };in)ii aim mini i^rui lamina
who do not seem to be convinced of the truthfulness
of the statements, because it seems to us
that if any man, in any business, was convinced
that any machine or implement would be as
groat a benefit to him as these reliable and
UNIMPEACHABLE WITNESSES
say the Corbin Disk Harrow is in the farming
business, he would not hesitate a minute about
buying it, even though it cost twice as much as
it does. We say it looks that way to us. I low
does it look to you, reader?
NOW, HERE ARE THE REASONS
why the Corbin Disk Harrow is the best farming
implement ever offered the farmers of the South :
1. because it will put any kind of lumMn
proper shape for easy and profitable cultivation
at less cost than by any other known method.
2. because wheat and oats can bo put in in onefifth
the time consumed by the ordinary "plowing
in" process; at one-fifth the exnense, and
the work will be done twice as well, and the
yield, all things being equal, will be at least 2.">
per cent, greater.
.'1. Wheat and oats can be put in with a Corbin
Harrow when the ground is too hard to plow.
4. It will pay for itself in one year as a timesaver.
5. It will pay for itself in one year as a labor
saver.
li. It will pajMbr itself in one year as a cropincreaser.
7. It is so simple in construction that it can bo
successfully operated by a 12-year old boy or an
ignorant negro.
tf. It is practically indestructible and will last
from 15 to 20 years.
Does it not seem that any one of the above
reasons is sufficient to commend the implement?
Then
What About the Combination ?
We can prove all the claims made, and in addition
to proving them by responsible witnesses,
we back everv harrow sold with those claims
and will gladly refund every cent paid for a
harrow if it falls shoit of claims made. The
Cdrbin Harrow lnis been on the market since
lSfiT, and not a single solitary one out of the
thousands that have been sold, has failed to give
entire satisfaction. Vol* need a harrow and you
need it NOW worse than ever before, because
, IT IS A MONEY SAVER,
and a money maker. You can get testimonials"
if vou want them, and they are gilt edge.

prices and terms as myself. Cleveland and
