WIPE OPF YOUE CHIN.
She had several of the neighbors in to
look at anew bureau, and very naturally
drifted off into an exposition of bureaus
she had had herself, and which her
mother had had. Her son waß doing
his level best to conquer the intricacies
of anew work on Indian scouting. Fi
nally he whispered to her—
“ Mother, wipe off your chin.”
She made a hurried movement with
her apron over that part of her features,
flushing slightly as she did so. And
then she went on with the discourse.
“Mother,” he whispered again, “wipe
off your chin.”
With a nervous twitch of the apron
she sought to remove the offensive par
ticle. Just as she got well to going
again, he whispered to her for the third
time—
“ Mother, wipe off your chin.”
‘ Land’s sake, child,” she sepulchrally
howled, “what is there on my chin?”and
she rubbed it with a vehemence painful
ly suggestive of combustion.
“Wipe ofT your chin,” he hastened to
advise the instant she ceased the move
ment.
She flew at that feature again, and
rubbed with all her might, while the
water gathered in her eyes, and her face
grew red with mortification.
“There !” she gasped ; “it’s off now, I
guess.”
He was almost consumed with smoul
dered laughter, but he managed to sug
gest for the fifth time—
“ Wipe off your chin.”
“Mercy in Heaven ! what is the matter
with my chin ?” she yelled right out, los
ing all control of herself, and staring
at her visitors in an agony of suffering.
Then she plunged iuto another room
to consult a glass, and he disbursed
himself out of the back door. When
she came back the ladies were exchang
ing significant smiles and looks with
each other, and pretty soon they left,
leaving her in a very uncomfortable
state of mind. It was some time before
she learned what was the trouble with
her chin, and then she did not feel any
better. —[Danbury Nq,ws.

HOW HE WOUND HIS WATCH.
The Virginia City (Nevada) Enter
prise relates the following:
A day or two since Mr. Shaw, time
keeper of the Consolidated Virginia
mine, found a watch lying in the snow,
where it had evidently been dropped by
someone working in or about the mine.
Mr. Shaw wrote a notice to that effect,
posting t by the side of the window to
which the men came to give in their
names when going on or coming off their
shifts. Several men called and de
scribed what wasjaccording to their ideas
a “valuable watch," nearly all making it
gold, with a fine chain of the same met
al. Some set a number of beautiful
pieces of gold quartz into the" links of
the chain. At last a little Frenchman
came to the window and said : “You find
one vateh, Mistair Shaw f”
“Yes, sir,” said Shaw. “Have you
lost a watch ?”
“Yes, sare, mo have lose mo one
vatcli.”
“Can you describe it?”
“Oh, yes, sare, me can descripe him
ver’ perfec’ly. He have he’s face Vide
open, and one leetle brass shain.”
gf r .“Wbat kind of key was on the
chain ?”
“Veil, no key be on zo shain. He
have no key at all; I wind him by zee
tail ”
The watch was a stem-winder, and
the Frenchman had given a perfect de
scription of his property, even down to
“zee tail.”

ELBERTOiV, GEORGIA MARCH 29. 187^.
A GOOD STOEY.
From Ohio comes a capital temper
ance story. Judge Quay, the temper
ance lecturer, in one of his efforts there,
got off the following:
“All of those who in youth acquire a
habit of drinking whiskey, at forty years
will be total abstainers or drunkards- —
No one can use whiskey for years in
moderation. If there is a person in the
audience before me whoso experience
disputes this, let him make it known.—
I will account for it, or acknowledge
that I am mistaken.”
A tall, large man aroso and folding
his arms in a dignified manner across
his breast, said :
“I offer myself as one whose own
experience contradicts your statement,
sir.”
“Are you a moderate drinker?” asked
the Judge.
“I am.”
“How long have_ you drunk in moder
ation ?”
“Forty years.”
“And you Avere never intoxicated?”
“Never.”
“Well,” remarked the Judge, scanning
his subject closely from head to foot,
“yours is a singular case, yet I think it
is easily accounted for. lam reminded
by it of a little story. A negro man,
with a loaf of bread and a fiask of whis
key, eat down to dine by the bank of a
clear stream. In breaking the bread,
some of the crumbs dropped into the
water. These were eagerly seized and
eaten by the fish. That circumstance
suggested to the darkey the idea of dip
ping the bread in the whiskey and feed
ing it to them. He ti’ied it; it worked
well. Some of the fish ate it, became
drunk, and floated helpless on the water.
By this stroke of strategy he caught a
great number. But in the stream was a
large fish very unlike the rest. He par
took freely of the bread and whiskey,
but with no perceptible effect ; he was
shy of every effort of the darkey to
take it.
“He resolved to have it at all hazards
that ho might learn its name and nature.
He procured a net, and after much ef
fort caught it, carried it to a negro
neighbor, and asked hi'opinion of the
matter. The other surveyed the won
der for a moment, then said : ‘Sambo, I
understand dis case. Dat fish is a mul
let-head; it hain’t got any brains.’
“In other words,” added the' judge,
“alcohol affects only the brain, and of
course thoso having none may drink
without injury.”
The storm ©f laughter that followed
drove the moderate drinker suddenly
from the hoxise.

Showek of Fish. —Following close
upon the rain of flesh in Kentucky comes
a shower of fresh fish. This last pha
nomena occurred in the vicinity of West
chester, Indiana, on the 13th inst., the
sky being clear and the sun shining.
Acres of living fish fell, some as long as
four feet. One of them weighed thirty
pounds.
I was acquainted once with a gallant
soldier who assured mo that his only
method of courage was this : Upon the
first fire in an engagement, he immedi
ately looked upon himself as a dead
man. He then fought out the remain
der of tb e-day perfectly regardless of all
manner of danger, as becomes a dead
man to be. So that all the life or limbs
he carried back to his tent he reckoned
as clear gain, or as he himself expressed
it, “so much out of tho lire.”
A Phbvious Understanding.— A night
or tivo since a chap about thirty five
years old, looking as if he had crawled
out of a cave to commence life anew, en
tered one of the hotels in this city, and
waiting at the counter until the clerk was
at liberty, he asked :
“Is this a hotel ?”
“Yes, sir,” was the reply.
“Good living, good beds and the most
courteous attention ?"
“Yes, sir.”
“Well,” said the stranger, after a long
look at a railroad time table, “I suppose
yoxx don’t trust ?”
“No, sir.”
“That’s what I wanted to know. I
always like to have a previous under
standing about such things, for if any
thing makes me mad it is to have a great
big hotel clerk jump in on me and kick
me down stairs on account of my strait
ened circnmstauces.”
“You’d better find anothor place,” sug
gested the clerk.
“Oh, I shall,” replied the stranger.
“The outside of this hotel seemed to
smile a welcome at me, but as I said be
fore my present policy to get along
without being kicked. I’ve got mental
feelings as well anybody else, and I’m
getting so worn down in flesh that a
mere common grand bounce from a
healthy hotel clerk upsets me for a
whole day. Farewell, young man—
don’t bile no extra ’taters for me.”

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Times thus describes Lamar’s reply to
Blaine’s violent speech charging the dem
ocratic party with withholding evidence
in the Belknap case:
Lamar rose, and in a speech of half an
hour completely demolished Blaine.
Such a scene was never before witness
ed. I have never seen such utter de
feat, said W. D. Kelly. It was simply
awful, is the opinion of Foster, of Ohio.
Old Ben Wade, who was on the floor,
said, Lamar is a giant. “The ablest
speech I ever heard,” was the unwilling
tribute of Hoar. The speech was the
culminating triumph of Lamar.
The publication of the correspondece
between Attorney General Pierrepont
and Asa Bird Gardner 1 , Judge Advocate
of the Militai-y Court, organized in
Chicago last December fit the request of
Babcock, looks like the first step in a
movinent for the removal of District At
torney Dyer, of St. Louis. The burden
of the correspondence is Gardner’s com
plaint that Dyer failed to furnish him
the evidence against Gen. Babcock—
that is to say he refused to withdraw the
evidence then before the grand jury, on
which the indictment of Babcock was
subsequently based, and turn it over to
the mercies of a military court organized
to whitewash. The correspondence only
serves to expose the anxiety of Grant to
to save Babcock, as he has since tried
to screen Belknap from impeachment
by accepting his resignation and
from ci'iminal trial by scaring Marsh out
of the country.
The New Pabty Movment.— There is,
says the New York Sun, some twaddle
about starting a third party for the
Presidential election. It can’t be done,
and won’t be tried. In a short time the
main issue will be joined between the
two existing parties, and into them will
be whirled all the political forces of the
country. In the campaign of this year,
no third party could do anythig but
guerrilla skirmishing and black-mailing,
and no such business can be tolerated
under present circumstanoes. One of
the twaddlers about a third party says
the “people are mad enough” just now
to rush into it. There are some people
who are often mad enough and silly
enough to make fols of themselves ; but
even these will keep clear of the folly of
ji third party this year. Two parties are
sufficient for the present.

A NEW ENTERPRISE
Mr. Wm. Howard, of this city, has re
ceived a letter from Mr. Y. M. Barnes,
of Clay Hill, Lincoln county, which
asks his support of anew enterprise.
The enterprise of which he writes is
the “Clements attachment”—a machine
by means of which seed cotton, as it
comes from the field, can be converted in
to yax-n better than any except hand
made. The machine is attached to a com
mon earth stand and gently frees the
cotton lint from seed, dirt and motes,
and delivers it in a roll to the spindle.
It has a capacity of one hundred and
fifty bales a year, and costs, with royal
ty included, only two hundred and fifty
dollars. The inventor clxims that it
will make a thread thirty-three and one
third per cent, better in strength and
evenness than any yarn that can be made
from ginned cotton. He says that its
usejsaves the costly and dangerous picker
rooms, saves lapping and double lapping,
five-sixths of the carding, and other ma
chinery, besides the cost of ginning,
bagging, ties compressing, etc. There is
a mill containing four of these machines
in operation, in Ccrinth, Mississippi, and
the owner writes that he recently rgan
ufactured yarn from a very inferior lot
of cotton, costing from to 2 cents per
pound in the seed, which sold for 25
cents per pound: some of it he ginned,
and the yarn from this sold for only five
cents per pound. Mr. Barnes is con
fident that yarn from middling cotton
made by this machine will bring 25 cents
when middling in the bale sells for 10
cents Mr. Baines wishes to start an
establishment with theses machines : t
Raysville, with 1,800 spindles, giving a
capacity of six hundred bales of cotton
per annum, which can readily be obtain
ed in the neighborhood. He is con
fident that such a mill will pay a very
large profit and he is anxious to get a
few gentlemen of Augusta to take stock
in the enterprise. The amount of cap
ital needed is small and we understand
that a lai’ge proportion of it will be sub
scribed by one party in this city. Wo
hope that our business men will look in
to tlib matter and if they are impressed
favorably, subscribe enough money to
make the mill* a success.—[Chronicle

THE END OETHE WORLD.
On Sunday a little band of men gath
ered in a room in the Cooper Institute,
New York, to discuss the subject of the
coming of Christ in this year of our
Lord, 1876. After a hymn of an im
pressive melancholy nature had been
sung, one of the adventists went up to
a blackboard and began to chalk myste
rious calculations upon its surface. It
seems that he meant to show that the
end of the world will occur in this Cen
tennial year, and based his calculation
upon tho prophecy found in the twelfth
chapter of the book of David. The
words of the prophecy ho said, are that
Christ shall come “the day the wicked
est shall do most wickedly,” and the
speaker pointed his bony finger in the
direction of Washington, and asked if
there was ever a time when corruption
and social rottenness were so general
and startling as now. He argued that
tho prophecies foretold tho end, 1,385
years from a given time, that is, from
“the time when the daily sacrifices shall
be taken away and the abomination that
maketli desolate be set up,” and ho fig
ured it up so as to bring the end in
1876.

THAT FLAG.
Mrs. H. S. Kimball Writes Another Letter —
A True Woman.
From the Philadelphia Times, of Sat
urday, wo extract the following letter by
the lady who gave Mr. Hill the Coiffcd
orate flag, and which ho sent to the
Young Men’s Library Association, in
this city:
To the Editor of the times:
One of the Philadelphia papers has
been pleased to publish my letters to
Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia, prefacing it
thus: “There is a woman living in Phil
adelphia who sympathizes with Hill, of
Georgia, in his tii'ado against the North
for cruelty to Confederate prisoners.”
My motive was certainly misunderstood.
My husband and brother served the
country in her hour of need, and I ren
dered all the service in my power by at
tention to the sick and wounded. Since
it has been my fortune to pass much
time in the South, and I feel sure, could
the people of the North know the
Southern people better, the prejudice
kept alive by xunbitioiis politicians would
bo powerless longer to distract our
country. No brave man follows his op
ponent after he has laid down his arms
and acknowledges himself powerless,
more particularly after he has fought
manfully. When a skillful surgeon Las
cut r vay a disaffected part lip uses all
his power to heal that wound for the
preservation of the body. So should it
bo in this our Centennial year. Every
good American should use all means in
his or her power to heal all wounds,
thereby giving health and strength to
our body politic. I did give the flag
back to Georgia. There was no other
place for it, and I would be vjjry glad to
see all our Southern prodigals back and
feasted in our “Father’s house.”

WHAT GEORGIA’S GOT.
Dr. H. V. M. Miller in his speech
upon the reception of the North West
visitors, did up Georgia in tho following
manner. His speech was replete with
good humor and good sense. Ho said
in his remark: You, talk about your
fine country. You havo a fino country.
I have no doubt about that. But if
there is a better place than the State
of Georgia upon the face of the earth,
I never saw it. (Laughter.) I love tho
people of the old commonwealth, and
I love the commonwealth itself. It is a
fino counti’y. My friends, we have got
gold enough in Georgia to day to pay
off tho national debt. We havo got
ii’on enough in Georgia to bind together
every section of this country. We havo
got coal enough in Georgia to smelt it.
We have got slato enough in Georgia
to cover all out doors. (Laughter and
applause.) We havo got marble enough
in Georgia to fenco in all out doors.
We have got copper enough to furnish
the brass of the wliolo Yankeo nation.
(Laughter and applause) Well, that i*
not half of it.
Go up to the Capitol and look into

agricultural wealth. I shall not enu
merate all these articles of small value
such as dinxonds ; (laughter;) but down

forests enough to build tho navies of

you return from your excursion trip,
fields enough to clothe tho world; aud
not only so, but we have water power
enough to spin it.

Geoi’gia, he said: Well, I might ex
tend these boasts. Why the first Sun
day school ever taught in tho world was

truth, and by whom ? I venture
amongst your large delegation here,
there are a hundred Methodists and I
doubt whether five of them know that
tho first Sunday school was taught by
John Wesley their founder 1 , in Savannah.
