Some Things.
(Bill Arp to The Constitution.]
I’m not afraid of small-pox myself
for it’s not a disease that has a fancy
for old folks. It lets them alone be
cause they have no beauty to spoil and
because old Father Time will cut ’em
down anyhow before long. Small pox
had rather feed on livelier blood and
smoother flesh, and that’s why the
young folks have such a horror of it,
especially good looking young ladies,
and even married ones who sometimes
entertain a fleeting thought that pos
sibly she might be left a lone widow
some of these days, and a widow with
a pock-marked lace would be in
appropriate. There is a tramp some
four miles from here penned up in a
pest house, and my folks kept ding
donging about it until I got some
bovine or vaccine, or wiiatever you
call it, and sharpened up the budding
blade of my pruning knife, and went
to work on ’em from the oldest to the
youngest. It was a terrible operation
—scraping the flesh down to the bloody
quick, and some of ’em had like to
have fainted just for the fun of it—
and now you see what a fix I am in,
for nobod}' can do anything but me,
their arms are so sore, and you can’t
touch ’em with a feather but what it’s
“Oh, my vaccinate—don’t touch my
vaccinate,” and so I have to bring all
the wood and water and make the fires
and do the cooking, and I begin to
perceive what a mistake it was to
disable ’em all at one time. When
they convalesce I’m going to vaccinate
myself in both arms and both legs and
lie up for a month to get even. But I’m
sorry for that poor tramp. He took
the disease away down on a railroad
in Alabama and took the track for
home, and they got after him all along
the line, but be kept a moving, for it
isent many folks will take hold of that
sort of a feller, and so he got to Home,
and they sent a police after him, but
the police could not get in seeing
distance, and the tramp kissed his hand
at ’em and walked on, and then the
Kingston folks made out they wanted
him, but they dident bad, and so by
the time he was wore out and tired out
he sorter put on the brakes at Carters
ville and we cotched him. lie was
making for Atlanta, where he come
from, and if 3*oll folks want a first
class sensation just, say so and we will
turn him loose. We have been moving
old fences ami cleaning up the
rows, and I thought it would he fine to
go ahead of the briar cutters with a
little tire, and the first thing I knew it
took after some broomsage and grass
and leaves and got into the woods, and
I fought it with pine tops until the
smoke nearl}* put my e\es out, and
while I headed it off at one place it
headed me off at another and at the
last I had to holler for help and it took
all hands to stop it, and when I got
home I was so smutty and sweatty and
playedout the}' didn't recognize me
and wantel to know where I come
from and who I belonged to. There
was some old logs in the fence row
that I wanted to roll into a gull)' and
I prized at one with a rail for an hour
tr}*ing to get it out. of its bed. when
one of the darkies came along with his
mule and a plow and lie put his mule
on one side and his plow on the other
and moved 'em all in five minutes with-
out a bit of trouble. But I’m a learn
ing and I don’t care who I learn from.
I’ve never seen anybody yet that
(liden’tknow somethings that I diden’t,
and there is many an old farmer who
knows things that wise men like pro
fessors in colleges don’t. They learn
from observation and experience,
j Some folks go through a long life and
observe little or nothing, and most of
tho boys never stop to think but Iparn
FOR THE PEOPLE.
all they know from books. Nature is
the next study. Dr. Jenner was a
close observer. lie was the first man
to find out that the cuckoo never
builded a nest hut always laid her eggs
in other birds’ nests. Do the boys
know that when a horse crops grass
he eats back to him, but a cow eats
outward from her because she has no
front teeth in her upper jaw and has
to gum it. Do they know that some
kinds of snakes lay eggs and some
din’t but give birth, to their young.
Do they know that a cane gets its full
growth in a year, whether it is large
or small, and the limb of a tree never
gets any higher from the ground, no
matter how high the tree grows. The
boys have seen many a white liorse,
but did they ever see a white colt ?
Do they know how old the twig is that
bears the peaches, and how old the
vine that has the grapes hung on to it ?
Do they know that a hop vine winds
with the course of the sun, but a bean
vine always winds the other wav ?
What timber will bear the most weight;
what is the most elastic; what will
last longest in water and what out. of
water; what is the best time to cut
down trees for fire wood ; how many
kinds of oaks can you count up that
grow in this region and what are they
specially good for; how does a bird
fly without moving a feather or flap
ping a wing; how does a snake climb
a tree or a brick wall; what is the
difference between a deer’s track and
a hog’s track, and how often does a
buck shed his horns and what becomes
of them ; which ought to be the largest,
the throat of a Chimney or the funnel,
and ought it to be wider at the top or
draw in. Books are a wonderful help,
but a man ought not to be satisfied to
go through life and be always on the
borrow from other people’s brains. lie
ought to find out some thing himself,
and leave a little to posterity in pay
ment for all that he has learnd from
others. I was down in the piney woods
not long ago and saw thousands of
little salamander hills alongside the
road, and asked a good many people
about them, but nobody I asked had
ever seen one or knew anything about
them except one man, and he said they
were like a large rat with a short tail
and had a pouch or pocket on each
side the neck to carry roots and bugs
and nuts in. I thought that every boy
in that country would have dug after
them just for sport, like we used to
dig after a mole or a bumble bee’s
nest. But there are bigger things for
boys now a days, I reckon. They don’t
seem to have near as much time as we
used to—time to play bull-pen and
cat and town-ball and shinny and go
a seining and coon hunting and set
traps and coops for partridges and
break the colts and mix up a good
deal of work with a little stud}' besides.
Abo} f is a young gentleman about five
3'ears sooner than he used to be, and
I think the Legislature ought to change
the law and set ’em free and let ’em
vote at sixteen instead of twenty-one.
Well, they do let ’em work the roads
at sixteen, and that is about the only
playing they do generally, which is all
right, I reckon. Bill Aitr.

“ Several letters have come to me

lamps were turned up. “ Ebery once
in a while dar’ am a yell fur reform, an’
sartin men an’ women weep an’ wail
oberdegineral wickedness of de world.
I)e church pitches into de theater, do

it would be faint praise. De preacher

A Good Housewife.
A good housewife, when she is giv
ing her house its spring renovating,
should bear in mind that the dear in
mates of her house are more precious
than many houses, and that their sys
tems need cleansing by purifying the
blood, regulating the stomach and
bowels to prevent and cure the dis
eases arising from spring malaria and
miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly
and surely as llop Hitters, the purest
and best of medicines.— Concord ( N .

History of the Small Pox.
A PLAQUE THAT IIAS HELD SWAY FOR
TWELVE CENTURIES.
Of all the plagues which have arisen
from time to time, or infested cities
or countries, none is more dreaded,
none is more persistent, none is more
easily communicable or fatal than was
small pox a ccntur} 7 ago. Hut whence
or how the disease arose it is not so
easy to say. Other plagues have vex
ed the earth for a time and then pass
ed away, leaving no vestige of their
ravages as did the great plague at
Athens during the Peloponnesian war
or the plague in England of Charles
11, but sin ill pox, not content with
twelve centuries of 3 way. still holds
its own despite the and scoverics of
science. It is unquestionably true
that diseases of such contagious na
ture generally arise among filthy and
ill-conditioned people, confined in nar
row quarters. This was the case with
the Athenian plague, and it wrs again
the case in the Jewish quarters of the
European cities. Contagious diseases
were cotnparati vel3 r raro among the
Romans and Greeks of the illustrious
periods, owing to the free pnhiic baths
and excellent sanitary and gymnastic
habits of the time.
It was reserved for the middle or
dark age* to furnish the most dread
ful examples of pestilence. .Small
pox arose in the very darkest period
of mediaeval times. It first invaded
England in the ninth century ; it was
common in Arabia in the tenth ; the
crusades carried it through all South
ern Europe ; it reached Norway in the
fourteenth century; in 1517 it was
carried to St. Domingo by the Span
iards along with slavery, the Inquisi
tion, the rack, and a host of other
blessings ; three 3’ears later it crossed
to Mexico and slew three millions:
invaded Iceland in 1707. and Green
land m 1733, slaying a fourth part of
! the residents in the former and a large
proportion of those in the latter coun
j try, and despite all that medical skill
has done and is doing to cast it from
! the earth, it bids fair to retain its hold,
in some measure, as long as popular
ignorance, destitution, negligence and
carelessness continue to combat the
physicians and the dictates of com
mon sense.
Its history is thus unique; other
contagious diseases have proved as
fatal under similar circumstances for
limited periods; none have continued
their blasting work for ten centuries
in all climates, from Mexico to Green
land. It is not unreasonable, there
fore, that its approach should be hail
ed with terror as is the approach of
almost no other disease. Yellow fe
ver and Asiatic cholera, even, have
caused no such potent and widespread
destruction. The very air it taints
carries infection; garments in con
tact with patients carry their baneful
power for years if shut up in tight
closets; it can be communicated by
mail or by manifest means which can
not be guarded against. It is not on
dagerous, but loathsome in its pro
gress: it drives away one’s friends,
thrusts him into unutterable tortures
and leaves him often a wreck for life,
with ruined health and disfigured
countenance. When to this is added
its persistent reappearance at almost
definite periods, it is not to be won
dered at that small pox scares are so
common.

Houses Built of Cotton.
Of all substances apparently the
least likely to be used in the construc
tion of a fireproof building, cotton
would, perhaps, take the first rank and
paper the second ; and yet both these
materials are actually being employed
for the purpose indicated, and their
use will probably extend. Compress
ed paper pulp is successfully used in
the manufacture of doors, wall panel
ings and for other similar purposes,
with the result that all risk of warp
ing and cracking is obviated, while
increased lightness is attained and
the fear of dry rot is forever banished.
Papier-mache, after having served a
useful purpose in an unobstructive
manner for years as a material for
small trays, paper knives and other
such light articles, has now suddenly
assumed a still more important posi
tion in the industrial world. A still
more sudden and striking advance
has been made in the employment of
cotton as a building material. A
preparation called celluloid, in which
cotton is a leading ingredient, has
been used lately as a substitute
for ivory in the manufacture of such
articles as billiard balls and paper
cutters, and now a Canadian man
ufacturer lias invented a process
by which compressed cotton may be
used, not merely for doors and win
dow frames, but for the whole facade
of large buildings. The enormous
and increasing demand for its normal
uses as a printing and writing materi
al prevents the extented use of pa
pier-mache as a building material, for
which it is so well suited in so many
wavs; but the production of cotton
is practically unlimited, and there
seems to be a large field available for its
use in its new capacity as a substitu •
for bricks—or at lca9t plaster—and
wood. Treated with certain chemi
cals and compressed, it can be made
perfectly fire-proof and as hard as
stone, absolutely air and damp proof;
and a material is thus produced ad
mirably adapted for the lining—in
ternal or external—of buildings of
which the shell may or may not be
constructed of other material, while it
easily lends itself to decorative pur
poses.—Colonies and India.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
It will be apparent to any one who will
examine a Solid Gof r Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of tho
precious metal used is needed only to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. The surplus gold is actu
ally needless so far as utility and beau
ty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS’
PATENT GOLD WATCII CASES, this
WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and
the SAME SOLIDITY AND STRENGTH pro
duced at from one-third to onc-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is
of the most simple nature, as follows : a
plate of nickle composition metal especi
ally adapted to the purpose, has two plates
of solid gold soldered one on each side.
The three are then passed between polish
ed steel rollers, ana the result is a strip of
heavy plated composition, from which tho
cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut
and shaped by suitable dies and formers.
The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick
to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving
and enamelling; the engravod cases have
been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time and use without removing the
gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.
