The city of Charleston is associated in the mind of everybody as being the cen tre of the terrible eavtliquack shock of the night of Augusta 31st 1886. The ex tent of its destruction is fresh in the memory. Although many of the eilerts caused by the earth’s trembling have been removed, still I have seen plenty of its works in my walks around the city. On King street is left standing the front half of a wall of a tliree-stovy brick building. In falling, the wall kil led three persons. Every brick or stone buildiug in the city has one or more cracks have been partly covered up with cement, while tlie others show for tliem- lptist The only way to keep a hen out of the garden is to go slow butshoo’er. K. Ii. Freeman lias been keeping the Washington hotel for ten years,has done over $100,0(J6 worth of business, and his entire loss on delinquent guests will not sum up $75. A milk-white horse that was ridden by Gen. Grant during the war is now owned by L>, B. Flint, of Boston. The animal is 26. Rev. It.S. Imnsden.of Carroll county, now has the third crop of tobacco from one setting. The -tobacco ffprout out every year from the old stalks. Aloysus O’Neil, aged 4 years, and his sister May, aged 8 years, arrived at the Mayor’s office in New York City yesterday from Johnstown, Pa. They had lost their parents, two sisters anil a lirtoher, in tlie tlrtod. They were oy their way to an aunt at Ansonia, Conn. The Russian army will soon be pro vided with breech-loading rifles, which will carry a distant of 6,000 feet. Noiseless power will also he used in fu ture by the army.. These improvements in the arming of the troops involve im mense expenditures. The class which especially sufljpred in the Johnstown flood was the cn>ldren. The proportion of these destroyed was far greater than that of adults.

States. The flag used as early as January, 1776. by the Continental army had thirteen alter nated red* and white stripes, with the united St. George and St. Andrew eroses let into the Union. This was changed by act of Congress, June 14, 1777, by retaining the stripes and plac ing thirteen stars in the blue field. An act of 1764 provided that there should he as many stripes as stars, hut on April 4, 1818, it was determined that the flag hould he as it is at present, thirteen alternate red and white, horizontal tipes . representing the independent thirteen original States. For several weeks an advertisement has appeared iu tlie papers announcing that Mr. C. D. McKie would sell his fine Jersey eattle at auction. This saie took place yesterday morning at 0:30 o’clock. At an early hour horses, bug gies and wagons were seen wending their way to Mr. MeKie’s farm, which is about a mile from town on the Jef- fersou road. When they reached the farm they found the eattle herded around the stables, ready to be sold. Numbers of men were gathered around the animals, each one express ing his opinion as to the merits of this or that piece of eow flesh. The}’ would stroke the sleek coats of the animals, or slap their fat sides, while the cows tood lazily chewing the cud and occa sionally rolling their soft hrowu eyes around to find the reason for so unusu al a commotion. Some hundred or so men attende the saie, and they were all buyers. It was well known that Mr. McKie had the best Jersey eattle in the State, and every one was anxious to strike a bar- • HUMOROUS. - > rtiV “That small investment has brought large returns,” gasped the purchaser of a dime’s worth of emetic.

The aggregate price all brought was $5,000. The prices paid "per head ranged from fifty eents to one hundred and fity dollars. The average price of tlie registered cattle was from seventy to eighty dollavs. The average of the unregistered was about forty dollars. The unregistered cattle seemed to be even in greater demand than the regis tered, as every one seemed to want them, while the registered cows were sold mostly to a few gentlemen, who are making a speciality of this sort of thing.

Some days ago at YVinehester, in the Valley of Virginia,the people decorated with floxVers the graves of the dead battalions of Southern soldiers whose remains rest in that historic soil. Gen eral Early, a soldier] whose services were largely given to tlie defense of the valley, was present by invitation, and under the inspiration of the influence of the interesting occasion delived a stir ring and eloquent address, in which he said: That cause was l03t, but that did not prove that it was wrong, for the history of the world abounds with instances in which might has proved more powerful thqn right. The fact, therefore, that the cause for which these brave soldiers gave their lives failed of snccess, and that we haVe accepted the result with a determination to abide the issue as the final settlement of the question which led to Hie eonflet, does not justify those time-seYvers who pretend to have dis covered that they were on the wrong side- in the contest, either from want of manly courage or from some sinister mo tive of self-interest. As 1 have said on a former occasion: “If ever I repudi- An Excellent Small •' Grain Yield vested—A Large Area in Corn- -ti i Cotton Backward—Far mers Economizing. From nearly every section of tlie country we receive the glad tidings that the crop outlook has not been so promis ing since 1882." ' : If any confidence can he placed in signs, fora series of years, beginning with the present crop, our tillers of the soil will be well repaid for their labor. From the daysof Joseph there have been seven.years of plenty and: seven years of poor harvests. If this be true, 1889 should mark a turn.in the tide. ’ Again, if Old Christmas, or the twelve first days in January, can be ac cepted as an index to the - ensuing months, and hundreds of our people believe in this sign, we are to have good seasons, free from disastrous floods. But there is still another sign of a good crop year that has i never been known to fail : It is said that when there is a good peach crop, all the othei crops are sure to be abundant. Our sec tion has perhaps never seen a finer fruit year than the present. Every manner of bearing trees are laden; and this, too, will go a long ways toward helping the people bridge the hard times between now and when the har vest matures. Gardens, too, ;are filled with the nicest vegetables of all de scriptions, and our industrious house wives are enabled to set a good table at a small cost. Merchants from all over Georgia tell ns that they never knew farmers to ex ercise such rigid economy. Their store accounts are from 25 to 50 per cent, less thaw any previous year. There seems .to he a unanimous determination among this class to “save themselves out of debt.” They are assisted in this good work by the exceedingly low prices at which they have been enabled to pur chase supplies. The dry spring also came to the as sistance of our agrieultual friends, by enabling them to clean theircrops with out the expense of extra hands. The recent rains have brought up grass, hut the. regular force ean keep it down. One of the best small grain crop3 raised in years has been harvested. While the heads of wheat are not large, the grain is sound and well filled. Fall oats were never better, and fortunately a good many were sowed in certain sec tions. At one time it looked as if spring oats would be a total failure, hut the timely showers brought them out, and there are few fields too low to har vest. An unusually large area was planted in spring oats, and while the yield is nothing to brag oil, a large quantity will be made. Corn is as fine as the land can grow, and more has been planted than any year since the war. A few years ago, it was a rare sight to pass a field of upland corn. Now, in traveling over the coun try, you see two acres in this crop to one of cotton. Unfortunately, too many farmers have become discouraged and turned out their bottoms. No floods arc predicted for this year. Cotton is small, and in many places the stand is had; hut the late showqrs and hot days have brought out this crop wonderfully, and a good qrop will doubtles he gathered.
