A QUEER ADVENTURE.
Ono sultry day I had trampod six or
eight ralloe through tho woods to look
at my traps, and on my return to camp
felt ao warm and uncomfortable thut I
decided to take ono of tho boats, row
out into deep water, and havo a royal
bath and swim. Tho other follows
wore all up tho brook trout-fishing,
and I had tho wholo lake to myself.
I rowed out fully a milo from tho
shore, so as to got that grand sensation,
which overy udvonturosome swimmer
?can unpreeiato of floating and diving
in a hundred feot depth of water.
Those who dally near shore know noth
ing ubout this sensation. It is llko
tho sensation which an oaglo or hawk
must havo, poising und whooling, with
a mile of transparent air betwcon
itself and tho oarth. Great depth of
wator buoys a swimmer up?muk?s
hfm feel as if he had wutor wings, and
oould circle, float und ulmost sloop on
the wutor, us a broad winged bird does
in the air.
When I got into tho doopost part of
tho lake, I threw over tho sharp-cor
nered stono wo used for an anchor,
attached to its hundred foet of stout
cord, and proceeded to undress and
make my first thrilling plungo. Down,
down I wont into tho clear water, till
its elastic rosistanuo, liko a cushion,
stopped my body und drove it towuru
tho surfaco again.? As I omorgod,
blowing tho water from nostrils and
mouth, I saw that a black storm cloud
was coming up ovor tho mountuin
behind tho camp ; but as yot tho sun
shone florcoly from tho western sky,
and I had no thought of giving up my
delicious bath for a threatened thunder
shower.
I dove ropoatedly, floated, swam on
tho surfaco and beneath tho surfaco,
trod wutor and onjoyod mysolf in tho
most luxurious fashion. Finally I
started and swam a hundrod yards or
so away from tho boat, with tho inten
tion of seeing how many times I should
havo to como to tho surfaco in retrac
ing my course under wator. As I
camo up after my first dive I noticed
that that fresh breeze whieh precedes
a storm was beginning to wrinkle tho
lake with littlo waves, and deemed it
best to got back to the bout as soon as
Jiosslblo. But I was surprised to see
low much farther away tho boat looked
than when I first started to return to
it. It really scorned a quartor of a
mile off now, but supposing this to bo
merely an optical illusion, I swam on
with loisurely strokes, thinking to
roach it in a few minutes. But after
I had boon swimming for livo minutes,
and tho bout seemed, if anything
farther away than when I started, 1
bet an to suspoct something was wrong,
and forgod ahead at tho top of my
speod.
All this while tho breeze was freshen
ing, tho wrinkly waves were increas
ing to small rollers, and 1 could hear
the thunder muttering and rolling
over tho hills behind mo. Suddenly
tho truth Hashed 001*088 my mind that
tho stone anchor whieh held my boat
must have slipped from its loop and
tho boat was drifting away from mo

tho lake with ono ofvl.o.
'"i'ing coming on,
'*? *? ??> on every
ttub of a tall and must have given it
>omo painful wrenches, as the rollers
tossed mo to and fro.
Just as tho fury of the storm was
abating we got into shallow water and
once in a while I could feel my feet
touch bottom. I held on, however,
until the shore loomed up in sight
through the rain, and then cast off
from the bear with an audible " Thank
you, old fellow," and lot him make his
way to land first. I saw him emorge,
dripping, from the water, climb the
bank and disappear in the woods.
For several minutes, however, I stood
waiting, waist deep in water, until
tho coast could be safely clear. Finally
I vontured ashoro and lay down to get
my breath and recover from my ex
haustion.
As soon as I folt able to walk, I
started for camp around tho lower end
of tlio lako, und reached its shelter
just as the othor fellows, dronohod with
their long walk through tho woods,
camo in from trouting. I told them
my story, but thoy thoughf I was guy

TIIIO DOLLAR OF OUR. DADDIES
Homo Fnets an to tho History of Silver
Money.
Tho silver dollar, which is again a
disturbing oloment in tho financial
prosperity of tho country, seoms to
have hud a lot of troublo in its day and
generation, und it is now getting buck
at tho United States treasury with
alarming persistency. Sumo of tho
facts concerning it uro of immcdlato
Interest und will boar summing up.
Hero is tho chronological history of
tho silver dollur;
Authorized to bo coined, Act of
April 2, 1792 ; weight, 110 grains; fino
noss, 802.4.
Weight changed, Act of January 18,
18117, to 412i grains.
Fineness changed. Act of January
18, 1837, to 1)00.
Coinage discontinued, Act of Febru

Total amount coined to February 12,

Coinage reauthorized. Act of Feb

Amount coined from August 1, 1878
to Deoombor 81, 1887, $288,205,357, (in
eluding $1, 837 recoincd.)
Total amount coinod to December 31,
1881), $8.17, .109, 239.
Tho first silver dollar was put in
circulation in 1704.
"It was a crude design," says a his
torian. "On the obverse, or faco of
the coin, was imprinted the head of a
young ludy fuciug to tho right: Her
hub was flowing to such nn oxtent
that sho looked as if taken in a galo of
wind."
In^jJUO Congress stopped in to tho
aid of tho typical damsol and tied her
hair up with a bit of ribbon.
Tho fifteen stars were after this re
duced to tho original thlrtoon In re
cognition of tho number of States.
In 1830 tho dosign was again
ohanged, and tho silver dollar boro tho
full figure of a neatly dressed woman
in a tlowing garment. Tho designer
forgot, ho wo vor, to put in tho thlrtoon
stars and the coin was soon culled in.
Any person now in possession of one
of those dollars has u valuable
souvenir.
Tho now design bud tho ludy sur
rounded by tho stars. It wus un im
provement on its predecessor, but tho
air of tho female figure was defiant
and stilY.

I dreamed the other night that 1 died
and went on high,
To the heavenly mansions far above
the blue ethereal sky.
Old Peter, standing at tho gate, in
quired what I had been ;
" An editor," was my reply ; said lie,
" Come right straight in."
And then, it seemed, I started?having
nothing else to do?
A bright and spicy paper called " The
Heavenly What is New."
I ran across reporters by tho dozen,
oven more;
As for printers, they applied for work
by the everlasting score. m
Tho " Personals" were plenty ; got 'em
early, got 'em late
Just kept a shorthand angel interview
ing at tho gate.
" Sooioty notes" wore oasy, too, tho
simplost sort of things,
Whero costumes just consisted of the
M newest fads in wings."
Subscriptions came like sixty; "ads"
were abundant, too.
But just before we went to press 1
heard a great ado ;
In came tho foreman, frothing, and
said he, "Your head ain't level;

VAN BUHEN'S SPECIAL SESSION.
How Congress Pulled tho Country
Out of a Hole In 1S37.
On tho 15th of May, 1837, while
Grovor Cleveland was lying in IjIb
erudle an infant, lacking threo days of
being two months old, Martin Van
Buren, ono of his Now York predeces
sors in tho Presidential chair, pro
claimed a special session of Congross
for tho following 4th of Soptombor.
That session was called that provision
might be mude to allay tho financial
panic that hud commenced Immodlato
ly after Vau Buren's Inaugui'atlon,
and that such moasuros might bo
adopted as would restore public con
fidence.
Tho conditions thatdomandod that ex
traordinary session wore nearly similar
to tho conditions that havo domandod
tho present extra session, though in
somo respects they uro not entirely
parallel.
Thon as now tho country had ox
poiionoed u succession of "booms "In
speculative enterprises of all sorts, and
there had been a frenzy of investinont
in Western lands, in "cotton lands,"
in canals, in wild-cat banks and in all
sorts of reckless gambling adventures.
There had been a surplus in tho Gov
ernment treasury of somothing like
$40.000,000, and while this stimulated
jobbery and extravaganco on the part
of Congress, it became also a matter
of distrust to patriotic statesmen, but
no better scheme could be suggested
apparently than that of depositing it
among tho States according to their
representation in Congress.
A measure of this sort was passed in
1836, and by it tho surplus in tho
treasury was to bo delivered on deposit
to tho Stato Governments in four
instulments. Tho money was in tho
State banks, and of course had boon
more or less loaned out. Throe instal
ments were paid, but before tho fourth
was duo the banks all over tho coun
try suspended and tho crash came.
Tho Genorul Govornmont instead of
having a surplus found Itself with a
doticit, and Congress was called that
moans might bo provided to save it
from bankruptcy.
It was a a group of historic statesmen
that assembled at that first session of
the 25th Congress. There were in
tho Senate Webster, Clay, Calhoun,
Beaton, Silns Wright, Buchanan,
Franklin Pierce, John J. Crittenden
and W' C. Preston, a gallant
South in, n'i of whom are

WHO WILL BE COLLECTOR ?
An Early Decision Likely?Perry
HoeiuM to Be in the Lead
Washington, D. C, Aug 26. Special
?There is a fair chance that South
Carolina will havo a Democratio Col
lector within the next two weeks.
Tho papers for nearly all the other
States have been sent to Buzzard's Bay
for Presidential inspection and Mr.
Carlisle thinks that the papers in the
South Carolina caso will be the next to |
be called for.
Tho indications are that Ben Perry
will be tho lucky man. A strong fight
has been made against him, but he has
fought hard back. While the other
candidates havo left their cases in tho
hands of their friends, Perry has re
mained in Washington looking after
i his own interests. Next to Perry, Mr.
, Daniel Thompkins has possibly the
I strongest showing. Ho is backod by
Senator Irby. and tho President has
repeatedly said that this ofHco belongs
to tho Senators and thoy will havo tho
appointment of the man. Lucas and
Bratton have scattering endorsements,
but neither of thorn arc sufficiently
strong to turn tho Senators down.
Representative McLaurin scored a
hit with tho onomies of Cleveland in
his speech on Mend ay night. Ho
dealt with tho President with the
gloves off. Ho arraigned him for
breaking his plodgos and challenged
his Democracy. It was the most ultra
anti-Clevoland speech made sinco the
extra session opened. Tho speech was
unfortunate In one respect as Mr.
McLaurin snoko as if reprosonting the
whole State on the subject. It would
lead one to think that tho entire State
was opposed to tho President. As a
free coinage oration, however, it was
forcible and had its offect on tho
avering. Ho almod his blows well
and struck 6quaroly from tho shoulder.
Captain Shell's accident cloarly
ovinced ono thing, that ho is not only
rospectod in tho Houso but dooply
loved. There is scarcely a Representa
tive who has uot called to inquire
after his condition, and the morning
after tho accident the tenderest ex
pressions of sympathy wore hoard on
every side of the House. Captain
Shell, with tho exception of Major
Brawley, stands closer to tho Presi
dent than any othor member of the
delegation in tho House, and will got
about as much in tho way of patronage
as tho Senators thorasolvos, while his
opinions are always taken by Speakor
Crispi in all mattors pertaining to
South Carolina.?Columbia Journal.
?Hero is an original snake story
which comes from Rome, Ga. Mr.
Hughes bought a small sized rat trap
with an opening but no oxit. It was
"jhtly closed, and could hold only a
few of tho rodents. Tho first night ho
caught a good many ; tho next night
ho woko up, hearing a groat commo
tion in the trap. Ho supposed he had
ono or maybe two large sized murines,
and1 without striking a light made his
way to tho trap and pioked it up. He
could feel what ho thought was a rat,
and tondorly lot his hand Ho against
it. When he made a light he still folt
tho moving body, and glancod toward
it. As he did so ho dropped tho trap.
Whether he yelled or jumped out tho
window will ovor remain a Bocrot buri
ed deep in his bosom.
To put it gently, ho was surprised.
What ho had so tenderly allowed to
rub him was a ground rattlesnake
With great courage and tho reptilo in
a cage he succeedod in ending its ex
istence. His snakeship had evidently
followed the rats inside aud had swal
lowed three, was over three feet
long._| _
?Sam Poole, colored, who lives in
Hartsvillo, thinks ho has " broke tho
record " in raising watermelons this
year. Ho planted one-fourth of an
aero, using nut vory little manure, and
has gathered 3(>7 largo melons so far,
and sayB there are still about fifty in the
Hold.

The following is the weather crop
bulletin for tho week ending Monday,
Aug. 21 :
piedmont region.
The condition of tho crops in this
section for tho past week has been gen
erally favorable. Tho weather has
been a little too cool for tho rapid ma
turity of tho cotton plant fruit. In
some localities lxith cotton and corn
have boon to some extent injurod by
overflows on low lands. Tho cotton
plant is heavily fruited, but the fear is
now entertained that tho recent rains
will cuuso it to grow too rapidly, and
not only to abed Its young fruit, but pro
vent it from taking on more.
Cotton has just commenced to open.
It is about ton days late. Tho corn
crop has Improved very much, parti
cularly that portion on stubble lands.
The pea crop is reported as extraordi
narily lino, and other crops in a very
promising condition. Rains havo been
woll distributed.

Tho condition of tho cotton crop in
this bolt is generally very favorable.
Cotton on light sandy soil is badly rust
ed and it is on tho increoso, and bus
caused immature fruit to open. In
some favored localities tho crop has
not sustained so serious an injury.
Caterpillars reported in some localities,
but no ravages to tho crop so far. Tho
crop is now being harvested, and a few
bales havo boon marketed. The early
corn crop was hoplessly injurod but the
lato corn bids fair to yield a full crop.
All other crops have nnprovod and tho

Tho crop prospect for this section is
truly discouraging ; as to cotton, tho

Tho rice crop without any disaster

Gum Aiiabic? The moat familiar
objects about us are often leust under
stood, and probably few can answer Die
question, "What is gum arable, and
whence does it come?'' In Morocco
about tho middle of November (tbut is,
after the rainy soasou) a gummy juice
oxudos spontaneously from the trunk
and branches of the acacia. It gradual
ly thickens In tho furrows down which
it runs, und assumes tho form of oval
and rounds drops, about the size of- u
pigeon's egg, of dlTerent colors, as it
conies from the red or white gum tree.
About the middle of December the
Moors eiicump.on tho borders of the
forest, and the harvests last a full
month. Tho gum is packed in large
loather sacks, and Is transported on
the backs of camels and bullocks to
seaport for shipment to different coun
tries. The harvest occasion is made
one of great rejoicing; und for the
time being tho people almost live on
the gum, which is nutritious und fpt
tening. Such is the commercial story
of this simple but useful article.

THE AHMIRATION OP THR
WORLD.
No modern invention baa onmo no
near, tili?j hecu so olosely ailhd with
tue people of cvi fry grade, as the sow*
lug machine, Ana what a revolution
there has been in this wonderful iu
vention, tineo Klius Howe, in 1840,
secured a patent on the Bret eomploto
aewing iuneh.no '. One after another,
improvements havo been made until
to-day the sowing machine is tho ad
miration of tho world, and is cherished
ns the most useful and accessary article
in every household. The most wonder
ful of all the machines now before tho
public is t ho
DAVIS.
Tho degree of perfection and utility
to which this machine has been
brought, the i ndeavors of the inventor
to keep ahead of ull competitors, uro
something marvelous. The "vertical
food" which is used only by this ma
chine, is in itself a feature possessing
advantages that at once captivates tho
people! Tho automatic work done by
tho Davis Is acknowledged l>y the most
critical experts to be unrivalled, und
that it stand.-; in the market without a
successful competitor, is unquestioned.
No other machine can duplicate the
work which can be done with tho Da
vis, neither is it claimed for them by
their respective representatives. In
vestigation of the merits of tlm Davis
is solicited. Such investigation will
repay you. whether or not you wish to
purchase. v
