sat silent a moment, looking down in front
of him. When the silence was broken he
broke it. “An’ dat wuz de tale dat
tuck de whurp,” he said exultingly, and
cracking the whip again he shambled back

BUT THREE NOW LIVING.
Reminiscences of Congress Half a
Century a go.
From the Washington Star, Dec. 27.
A few days ago I had occasion to pene
trate into the vaultlike passages behind the
gallery of the old half of the House of Rep
resentatives, and, gazing around me, as I
had doue so often in the days gone ly, from
that "coigne of vantage,” the ghosts of the
past came up before me from the time when
John White of Kentucky was speaker. Of
all the able debaters of that period whose
eloquence resounded through those vaulted
passages nearly all have paid the debt of
nature. I cannot recall as living any of
them but the Hons. George W. Jones of
lowa and Hannibal Hamlin of M aine,
and the Hon. Hamilton Fish
of New York. Mr. Jones entered
congress as a delegate from the territory
of Michigan in 1831, and some years later he
was elected senator from lowa. Mr. Jones
was for many years a conspicuous figure in
the social life of Washington. He was one
of the most gallant men then in society and
a universal favorite. He still lives, and
was so devoted to those friends of the past
that he traveled from his northwestern
home to attend the funeral at New Orleans
of Jefferson Davis, with whom he had
served in both houses of oongress. Mr.
Jones was the se ond of Cilley in the duel
with Graves, in which Oilley was killed,
and while ip. public life was marked by his
devotion to his state and to the political
party he represented in congress.
Mr. Hamlin occupied a seat in the House
of Representatives as early as 1843-’43, and
while there was a democrat of the moat
ultra stripe. The Hon. Hamilton Fish
came to oongress in 1840, and at an ad
vanced age and with the accumulated hon
ors he has enjoyed still lives. Those are all
I can recall as living wlio-e services,as com
pared with those who came iu succession
after John White, up to 1850-’53, are almost
modern, and yet there are but three survi
vors—Mr. Robert C. W inthrop, Gen. Banks
and Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania.
The Senate of that day, of which Mr.
Jones of lowa and Mr. Hamlin and Mr.
Bradbury of Maine alone survive among us,
contained the most distinguished men this
country has produced—-Messrs. Clay, Cal
houn, Preston, Silas Wright of New York,
Gen. Cass, Daniel S. Dickerson, Sam Hous
ton, James M. Mason, and others, who have
long since paid t e debt of nature, leaving
only those three living members of a period
celebrated in history.
AN OLD SUPERSTITION.
Do Clocks Stop When People Die, or
People Die When (Mocks Stop ?
From the Pittsburg Times.
The sentimental and superstitions who are
given to tracing the laws of coincidences
will litid an interesting subject for their at
tention in the recent death of a jeweler in
Bucyrus, O. For many years it has been
the office of a skilful German watchman,
named Frank Kehrer, to ktteii’tjfb fho town
clock. During the paa&cfew moSths the
health of Mr. Kehrer ter been poor and the
clock, deprived of his careful attention, has
been keeping indifferent time. One Mon
day morning recently the I imepiece struck
5, and a few moments later it stopped.
Early risers who heard the chime affirm
that there was somejhine indescribably
weird and peculiar abo.ut it. F&tifF Tinera,
noticing the clock hands painting to 5:05,
commented upon the subject and its aged
guardian. Later in the day the news spread
that Mr. Kehrer’s condition had suddenly
become worse and that ho had died at 5:05
that morning.
When the late State Senator B. J. Smith
of Hancock county. West Virginia, passed
away, his family looked at bis watch to see
the time. The hands pointed to 12:02
o'clock. When S. G. Smith, son of the late
senator, began housekeeping in Wheeling
his father gave him a family clock which he
had always at;ende-l to himself. After the
fuueroi Mr. Smith returned to Wheeling.
As eoon as he saw the clock Mr. Smith
turned to his m ther and sister aid asked
them if anything in the room had attracted
their attention. “Tne dock,” said the sister,
and the mother nodded assent. The clock
had stopped at 12:02.
THE MORNING NEWS: MOPAY, JANUARY 5, 1891.
A THY 31 Cl AN OF NO SCHOOL.
A Doctor Who Only Wanted Some
“Drops.”
From the December Century.
I have said that there was no regular
physician in California. Later, in 1843, in
a company that came from Oregon, was
Joe Meeks, a noted character in the Rocky
M untains. On the way he said: “Boys,
w hen I get down to California among the
Greasers 1 am going to palm myself off as a
doctor;’’ and from that time they dubbed
him Dr. Meeks, He could neitner read nor
write. As eoon as the Californians heard
of his arrival at Monterey they be
gan to come to him with their dif
ferent ailments. His first professional ser
vice was to a boy who had a toe cuioff.
Meeks, happening to be near, stuck the toe
on, biudiug it iu a poultice of mud, and it
grew on again. The new governor, Michei
torena, employed him as surgeon. Meeks
had a way of looking and acting very wise,
and of being reticent wnen people talked
about things which he did uot understand.
One day he went into a little shop kept by
a man known as Dr. Stokes, who had been
a kind of hospital steward on board ship,
and who had brought ashore one of those
little medicine cnests that were usually
taken to sen, with apothecary scales, aud a
pamphlet giving a short synopsis of diseases
and a table of weights and medicines, so
that almost anybody could administer ielief
to sick sailors. Meeks weut to him and said,
“Doctor, I waut you to put me up some
powders.” So Stokes went behind his table
and got out his scales and medicines, and
asked, “What kind of powders!” “Just
common powders—patient not very sick.”
“If you will tell me what kind of powders,
Dr. Meeks —” “O, just common powders.”
That is all he would say. Dr. Stokes told
about town that Meeks knew nothing atx>ut
medicine, but people thought that
perhaps Meeks had given the prescription
in Latin and that Dr. Stokes could
not read it. But Meek’s reign was to have
an end. An American man-of-war came
into the harbor. Thomas O. Larkin was
then the United States consul at Monterey,
and the commander and all his officers
went up to Larkin’s store, among them the
surgeon, who was in.reduced to Mr. Meeks.
The conversation turning upon the diseases
incident to the country, Meeks became
reticent, saying merely that ha was going
out of practice and intended to leave the
country, because be could not get medi
cines. The surgeon expressed much sympathy
and said, “Dr. Meeks, if you will make
me out a list I will vary cheerfully divide
with you such medicine as I can spare.”
Meeks did not know the names of three
kinds of medicine, and tried evasion, but
the surgeon cornered him, and put the ques
tion so direct that he had to answer. He
asked him w hat medicine he needed most.
Finally Meeks said he wanted some "draps,”
and that was all that could be got out of
him. When the story came out his oareer
as a doctor was at au end, and he soon after
left the country.
FARMING IN SWITZERLAND.
How the Peasants Live and Work.
“A Swiss Farming Village” is the subject
of an article by Sophia Kirk in the January
Atlantic. She writes:
The beautiful autumn weather will have
tu all day out of doors. Early in the after
noon the Jungtrau puts on its eroix federate,
the shadows of a deep hollow in its breast
and of an opposite mountain meeting in a
perfect croes, dark upon the brilliant snow.
The sun h s shitted to the westward of the
high plateau, round which ho seems to
make a special revolution as round a little
world, and the shadow lengthens in the
yellowing grass. As the afternoon ad
vances, a sort of tan spreads over the land
scape. The woods glow with crimson and
golden hues which blend in a rich auburn;
they are less audacious in color than our
Now England woods, but more harmonious.
Little feathers of smoke curl upward here
and there from the fields where they are
burning the potato vines, and a larger
smoke plume ascends from an unroofed
oven of stone, over which some women ore
drying hemp, while others are boating it
with a rapid, cheerful noise, which comes
pleasantly to our ears across the Helds. At
dusk these women go home looking like
corn shocks set in motion, with the h-imp
hanging in stiff, dun drapery from their
broad snoulders. On all sides’ are pictures,
which seem to come fresh from the hand of
Breton or Millet; for that poetry which is
everywhere in the contact of soil and effort
enfolds even our prosperous Zmnnerwald
peasantry, who, little as they know it, are
already on canvas painted at Barhizon and
iu the Fas-dtf-Calals. In the green of the
meadows—a soft, indefinite green, which
takes on beautiful tones at dusk—a slim
girl, with skirts looped about her waist,
is mowing, following in the wake of two
stalwart men, laying the swaths quickly
and evenly before her; then pausing,
a sculpturesque figure in the gathering
gloom, to whet her scythe. The hay
making was over long ago. These thick,
soft swaths are for ensilage, to keep their
sweetness all winter in underground fur
rows. Further on, between the earth
twilight and the sunset sky, a man aud
woman are hoeing potatoes with their
heavy, deep-bladed pinches, dusky silhou
ettes in motion against the opal light; giv
ing their whole strength and care to a
struggle with the difficult, dark element
below, while bathi-d unconsciously in the
peace and radiance above. There is no
Angelus to check tbeir labors, for we are
in a Protestant country, and they go on
without pause into the deepening of the
evening.
Death of Mrs. Mary Stratton
Mrs. Mary Stratton, well known by the
older residents of Savannah and the south
generally, died at her home in Columbia,
8. C., last Thursday morning, at the ad
vanced age of seventy-six years. The
famous liliputian, Tom Thumb, was a
cousin of her husband. She left five
children, nine grandchildren, and fur
greatgrandchildren. One of her grand
children is the wife of Mr. James M. Bennett
of thejMoRMNG News composi groom.
Mrs. Stratton was of strong poetical and
antiquarian tendencies. Her writings were
distinguished for their sparkle, vigor and
clearness. So groat an authority as Dr.
James Woodrow has spoken highly of her
Deems. They will shortly be published in
book form aud will comprise two volumes.
“Speak of Me as I Am,” i a delicate piece of
poetical composition by Mrs. Stratton, and is
familiar to those who studied Reynold’s
readers. “Keep Me Awake, Mother,”
another of her poome. is a parody on the
well known poem. “Rock Mo to Sleep.” It
has been set to music by two different
musicians. Mrs. Stratton once edited a
paper published at Lightwood Knot
Springs, eight miles from Columbia.
RAIL* AND OROSSTIB.
The News and Courier says the rumor
tbit the Wilson’s and Summerton railroad
was to be bought by tbo Atlantic Coast
Line can neither be verified nor denied in
Charleston. The road is about eighteen
miles long and runs from Wilson’s, on the
Central railroad, to Sumraerto >, in Claren
don county. The road runs through a flue
section of Clarendon county, and would be
a desirable purchase for the Cuast Line.
There seems to be an inclination among
railroad men to reduce the rate on excels
baggage. Tbo initial step among southern
roads was taken by the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia road. Heretofore
that road lias been charging t r excess bag
gage a minimum rate of 25 cents per 100
pounds for all distances up to sixty miles.
Thus a traveling man making "short jumps”
—in working the small towns ad stations
on the road—was liable to make six or eight
stops inside of sixty miles of distance, aad
therefore his exoess baggage cost him six or
eight times as much as if be juinpod through
the sixty miles. The new rata is: Twenty
miles and under, 15 cents; thirty miles and
over twenty, 20 cents: sixty miles and over
thirty, 25 cants.
THE SOUTHERN LQCMOTiVg FAIR
A Novel Freject to qCaarlKi Out Ux

Preparations are so-so bp b-gun to

ln order to attract to the

that many reeidmita-ofie north - an have
no idea of tbs display tt can be made by
the managers of the libera locomotive
fair.
The project involves! exhibition of the
products of states ar south as Texas,
and including, of court Florida. It is be
lieved that several of t states will be es

fruits, and their tiji tr< They will give
glimpsss of their agmficoat flora.
They will present sjieebus of their metals
and their coal. In slit, all things that
are found under the em or that grow in
the soil, excepting the fcst trees, are to be
put on display. It may taken for granted
that the locomotive fawill be well worth
looking at.
It was maintained y members of the
convention that the sh< would bo influen
tial in drawing iimniants of northern
birth to the southern *es, and would at
tract the attention of orthern investors,
whose capital was need for the develop
ment of the the sunny sout h.
It was maintained tharheo the northern
people saw the clime, so to speak, and
were fully apprised ofe superior fertility
of southern soil and tUbundanca of south

the country.
It cannot yet bo told what time of the

Mrs. Bradford Deflds the Character
of Her Entiainment.
There seems to bo aoubt hi the minds of
some church people ato tbo character of
the “Ben Hur” enterfciment, to be given
at the theater to-nigh
Mrs. E. K. Brford, the compiler
of the tableaux and nder whose direction
the entertainment vi be given, sail lost
night that he underiod that • nine of the
clergy has question its character, and
that Dr. Dripps of Independent Pres
byterian Church hi alluded to it as an
improper entertainrrit.
“The entertainmef’ Mrs. Bradford said,
“does not partake, it*e slightest degree, of
the nature of the ‘lsion flay’ of Ober-
Ammorgau. There |io representation of
Christ attempted, at nothing connected
with it which couldiock the sensibilities
of the most devout fqiwer of our Savior.
The scenes in the gr ef Daphne are not
represented, there bute ip dancing or anv
action w hatever upoutbe tage. I mention
these facts because I bar ihnt some have
objected to the tableaik oaccount of these
supposed reprcsentatic g vich do not exist.
The first production of‘Be Hur’ was made
in a church, and it bR bn given several
times in churches and (bats, but the work
entailed thereby was t) git that I deter
mined to give it upon an oi>a stage, where
I could have the neoeesary Mlities for such
work and c uld secure thtiest effeots for
its production.
“I have been welcomed it many min
isters’ homes while wjorg for their
churches, and have thus haiheir support
and 00-operation. Many ajood minister
has mounted a siepdadder, I, under my
direction, ha 9 adorned the b iario walls of
King Herod’s thronewoona, o jlpad fashion
the luxurious home of the in,' or the
lovely Roman villa at Misem.”
