(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. The Lime Kiln Club. “ Several letters have come to me doorin’ de pas’ week axin’ rac to define my posishum on dis queshun of amuse ments,’’ said Bruddcr Gardner, as the 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 prayer-moetin’ whacks away atdancin’, an’ de Sunday school teacher tells de leetle boys datde circus am ncx’ doali to perdishun. It lias bin m}’opin3 r un fur de las’ fift}' y’ars dat dis was a wicked world. It was created fur a wicked world. De lawd wanted it dat way. an’ He made it to please Iliaself. De Soripturs state dat wick edness shall abound in ebery co’ner of de land; dat men shall murder an’ rob an’ women go astray ; dat chil'en shll deny deir parents an’ brudder turn agin brudder. All sich tings am pre dicted an’ to be spooled an’ looked fur, an’ nobody lias any grounds to howl an’ weep. If dis war a good work? wo should have no need of preachers, deacons an’ Sundayschool teachers. Preachers will tell you dat man am imperfect, an’ dat de Lawd made him to go astray, an* yet dey will turn aroun’ an’ wonder dat he am not goodness biled down. “ Deed, gom’len, but de only better world dan dis am beaben itself. You have got to prejudge de case if you can make wickedness out of de jokes : of a circus clown or de plot of de ordi | nary drama, If I had to praise God by find in’ fault wid de world lie made an’ de people lie put yere. I’m afraid it would be faint praise. De preacher who can’t go to de theater widout feelin’ wicked had better stay away. If he wasn’t on de hunt to fin’ wick edness he wouldn’t see it any mo’ dan do rest of us. Me an* de ole woman kin go out an’ dance Vinginj' reel fur fo’ hours an’ cum home wid cla’r con sciences fur family praj’ers.

We kin go to a circus an’ come home an’ fank God dat our lives have bin spar’d anoder day, and dat we am still left to comfort de sick an’ forgive de errin’. If gwine to sicli places makes a preacher feel dat Satan has got a mortgage on him, den he’d better stay home. “No man airnest in de good cause wants to fight agin human natur’. Man am a social bein’. lie likes to be pleased an’ amoosed. Make a tombstone of him an lie’ll soon hate hisself. When I see a man who claims to be too good to watch a circus pur ceshun pass’ long the street I neber work for him widout de cash in ad vance. When I fin’ a man who am down on nmoosements I doan’ work fur him at all. A y’ar ago, when me an’ de ole woman was joggin’ ober to de circus we met a man who said we war gwinc straight to Texas. He said lie would sooner sec his son in his coffin dan in a circus, and he scart de ole lady most to death. I kept track of dat tombstone, an’ in less dan six months he left town wid out payin’ his gas bill, water tax, butcher ar grocer, an’ he am no ex ception in his class. Look out for solum-faced men. Bewar* of de men who weep ober de wickedness of a world made so by de Lawd fur reasons of His own. Have no truck wid men who nebber laff. A man widout faults am a man widout reason. A man widout wickedness am a man widout argyment.” —Detroit Free Press. 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 . II.) Patriot. 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. PKOGRA3I3IE Of the Jackson County Teachers’ In stitute.

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. Made from Harmless Materials, and adapted to the need of fading and falling hair. Parkers Hair Balsam has taken the first rank as an elegant and reliable hair restorative. Reasons lor Dressing Plainly on Sun day. 1. It would lessen the burden of many people who find it hard work to maintain their places in society. 2. It would lessen the force of the temptations which often lead men to barter honor and honesty for displa}'. 3. If there were less style in dress at church, people in moderate circum stances would be more inclined to at* tend. 4. Universal moderation in dress afc : church would improve the worship by tbc removal of many wandering thoughts. 5. It would enable all classes of people to attend church better in lin favornble weather. 6. It would lessen on the part of the rich the temptation to vanity. 7. It would lessen on the part of the poor the temptation to be envious' and malicious. 8. It would save valuable time on 1 the Lord’s day. 0. It would relieve our means of a serious pressure, and thus enable us' to do more for good enterprises. 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. - For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Il lustrated Catalogue, and to see warrant.' NUMBER 5.
