FOR THE PEOPLE.

Two Josephs.
During the late session of the
Southern Baptist Convention in this
city, that body had in it .as a member
a man who now has upon him the eyes
of the whole country, politically speak
ing; and. if we would judge by the
way in which he was listened to in the
convention, one would infer that he
had the eats of a goodly portion of the
religious people also. Of course, we
allude to Senator Jo's. E. Brown, of
Georgia.
Senator Brown stopped at the
Mansion House, and hall with him
Mrs. Brown and probably other
members of liis family. On Saturday
afternoon, a number of persons called
to see him and he chatted freely with
his friends. To those who are not
aware of the fact, we will state that
Senator Brown attended school at a
place known as Calhoun, situated in
Anderson county, a few miles distant
from the Greenville line and near
Cooley's Bridge. Calhoun had, forty
or forty-five years ago, a substantial
aca leiny, which was taught b}’ a teacher
of some considerable reputation at
that period, named Levereit. Mr.
Joseph Cox, an aged gentleman, well
known in this and Anderson counties,
lived at Calhoun at the time of which
we speak, being one of the trustees of
the school there. lie still lives in the
same neighborhood, and is now eighty
odd years of age. He is the same
gentleman who a few 3 r ears ago can
vassed a considerable part of the State
for the purpose of securing bonds from
the members of the Baptist denomina-
tion lor the endowment of Furman
University.
Mr. Cox was a visitor at the late
Convention in this city.
Among those whoavailed themselves
o! the pleasure of calling on Senator
Brown at the Mansion House on Satur
day of the session, was Mr. Cox.
After chatting awhile most pleasantly,
Mr. Cox. at the instance of the dis
tinguished Senator, gave a description
of the latter as seen for the first time
by the former.
Mr. Cox stated that one morning as
lie was along the road near Calhoun,
a short distance in front of him he saw
a strange boy, apparently fifteen or
sixteen years of age, leading h pair of
steers. The boy looked ragged and
dirty and presented anything but a
prepossessing appearance—the em
bodiment of the Northern idea of our
poor whites. In a moment or two,
the two met, when the boy stopped
and asked Mr. Cox if he wanted to
buy the animals he was leading. The
answer was, no—at the same time, the
idea entered the mind of Mr. Cox
whether or not the animals had been
stolen. The boy with but little delay
stated that he wanted to attend school
at Calhoun and wished to sell his steers
—all the property he owned—and use
the proceeds in paying his board. Up
on this statement being made, Mr.
Cox thereupon told him if that was
his purpose, he could tell him with
whom he could elfect a sale, and di
rectcd him to go to Major Broyles, a
gentleman of the neighborhood posses
sed of some means, and also a trustee
ot the school. The boy did as direct
ed, and a bargain was effected between
him and Major Broyles, by which the
seller was to lie boarded eight months
lor his live stock. This being arrang
ed the boy found the teacher and ar
rangements weft- made for his tuition.
Flic boy went to school a year and
over, afler which he moved away ; but
before going, be gave his note to Ma
jor Broyles for the balance due on his
board. After a time the boy’s bene
factor died, and Mr. Cox became one
of the executors of the estate. In t his
latter capacity, the gentleman last
named valued the effects of the de
ceased, finding among other papers
the note of the young man. After
some consideration and weighing of
probabilities, the conclusion was reach
ed tiiat the boy would return and pay
the note—so the appraiser rather
thought it was good. It subsequently
came to light that our hero had also
given his note for his tuition. Both
not- s were afterwards paid in full.
The boy was the embryo Governor,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
and United States Senator Brown of
Georgia.
Mr. Cox, while depicting the boy as
first seen by himself was frequently
prompted by Senator Brown as to for
gotten circumstances, real or pretend
ed, some of which gave the description
much ridiculousness. The Senator
enjoyed his youthful portrayal very
much. —Greenville Enterprise.
The Summer Solstice.
On the 21st of June, at 8 o’clock in
the morning, the sun enters the sign
Cancer, ami inaugurates the great phy
sical epoch known as the summer sol
stice. He lias readied his extreme
northern declination of twenty-three
and a half degrees, and. j-jst grazing
the tropic of cancer, pauses for a few
days in his course before turning his
steps from our northern clime. The
familiar terms explain the apparent
movement, the Tvord tropic coming
from a Greek word meaning to turn,
and the word solstice coming from two
Latin words meaning the sun stands
still.
The days remain of the same length,
lifteen hours and sixteen minutes, for
nine days, from the 16th to the 2atb.
On the 26th a change comes, and a de
crease of one minute marks the south
ern course of the sun. In a few days
the change will be apparent to careful
observers. The sunrise and sunset
points will swerve slightly to the south,
and the sun will not mount quite so
high at noon da\ r towards the zenith.
The movement of the sun to the south
and his lessening meridian altitude
will go on until the 21st of December,
when the winter solstice occurs, and
the days have reached their minimum
length. The process will then be re
versed ; the sun will move northward,
and iiis meridian altitude increase un
til he comes round again to the sum*
iner solstice of 1883. Observers can
see for themselves tiie changes in the
sun's place in the heavens t hat mark
the change in the seasons, and will
readily note that the further south the
sun rises and sets the shorter will be
the days, and tiie lower the altitude of
the noon-day sun the less will be the
intensity of the heat.
This oscillation of tiie sun to the
north and south, and liis varying meri
dian altitude lire only apparent, the
real cause of the movement bein<* the
revolution of t he earth around tiie sun
with her pole inclined twenty-three
and a half degrees to the plane of her
orbit, her seasons var\ ing according
to the manner in which her surface is
presented to the sun. In the north
tempeate zone the sun’s rays now
shine with full foi e, and summer
reigns supreme. Tiie mornings and
evenings mark his furthest progress
northward, the noons show his heigh
est meridian altitude, the evenings
bear witness to tiie period when liis
beams linger longest above tiie wes
terd horizon after sunset.
It would seem as if our hottest days
should occur about tiie 21st- of June,
when the sun’s perpendicular rays fall
upon this portion of the globe. But
such is not tiie ease. As midsummer
approaches the quantity of heat re
ceived from tiie sun during tiie day is
greater than the quantity of heat lost
during the night, and there is there
fore an increase of heat each day. The
daily increase reaches its maximum
at the summer solstice. But the heat
garnered up by the process causes an
accession of heat each day until the
heat lost during the night is just equal
to tiiat received during tiie day. This
happens some time in July or August.
Our hottest weather for this reason
occurs some time after the summer
solstice, just as the hottest part of the
day is some time after midday, and
tiie coldest part of tiie night is toward
morning.
There are four great time marks in
tiie aunual revolution of tiie earth, the
vernal equinox, the summer solstice,
the autumnal equinox, and the winter
solstice. The summer solstice is the
most interesting and suggestive of
them all. It is, in onr zone, the cul
minating point of solar power, the
gala day of the sovereign who holds
in liis hand tiie issues of life and
death for every member of the human
race. The earth rejoicing in verdure,
the perfection of foliage, Ll.'e brilliant
ilowers, the ripening fruits, bear wit
ness to the fertilizing power of liis
benignant beams. Out-door life fur
nishes the condition of enjoyment,
and earth, air, and sky hold out sepa
rate allurements to increase the num
ber of those who share in the general
holiday. So delightful are the charms
of midsummer tiiat longs to make them
immortal, to hold back tiie sun in Ids
course, and perpetua e the present
conditions of his reign. But such are
not tiie conditions of human life. The
seasons come and go, swayed by an
omnipotent hand ; at the culminating
point of solar intensity tiie picture
changes, tiie supreme moment passes.
Before the sun that rises on tiie 21st
of June sinks below tiie horizon, liis
face will be turned from us, the earth
will have traveled thousands of miles
toward the regions of cold and dark
ness. A fraction of light will be lost
from the longest day, a fraction of
darkness will be added to the si.o'test
night.
No one can help mourning over the
loss of the first minute of daylight
that follows tliis'summer solstice. No
one can help rejoicing oves the gain
of the first minute of daylight that fol
lows the winter solstice.
On the 2Gth the decrease of one
minute in the day’s length is recorded
on the astronomical. It is only a
minute at first, but minutes will lie
piled upon minutes, as the earth rolls
on. until the last of July, the day will
be forty-seven minutes shorter than it
was under the beams of the solstitial
sun. —Scientific American.
It is Worth remembering that no
body enjoys the nicest surroundings
if in bad health. There are miserable
people about to day with one foot in

A Modern Evangelist.
*• Young man !’’ exelaime j an irnpet
uous woman, breaking into the Eagle
sanctum yesterday afternoon, and
going straight at business. “ Young
man. how about your soul ?”
“I— I don’t know, ma’am!” re
sponded the managing edi'or. feeling
behind his ear as though his soul were
something in the nature of a penholder.
“ I don’t know, ma’am. I reckon it’s
getting*on pretty well!”
*• Do you pray early, often, in season,
out of season, unceasingly demanded
the woman.
“ I’m at it all the time,” replied the
managing editor hitching around ner
vously. ** There is somo talk about
the office of bouncing me because I
spend the time in prayer which should
be devoted to business.” and the
managing editor shut his hands up
between liis knees and contemplated
the evangelist.
“For what do you pray chiefly
asked the impetuous woman staring
him in the eyes.
“Lately I have—l have been praving
for—for—for the Mayor?” stammered
the managing editor, rather caught on
the hip by the suddenness of the ques
tion. *• Last week it was the Common
Council, and if I can get, the Lord to
strengthen the Mayor up, I hope to get
around to the board of education by
next week and the twelfth ward repub
licans by the first of June !”
“ It is not enough,” replied the impet
uous woman, ” von should pray for the
lost heathen and his blindness.”
" Yes, ma’am,” replied the editor,
meekly.
“Ring him in with the fire depart
ment and public works. Once or
twice I got him mixed up with police
headquarters, and I reckon it didn’t
do him any good.”
“Do you pray to be led by the
living waters?” inquired tiie impet
uous female, fervently.
“Always,” returned the managing
editor, surreptitously locking liis
drawer and slipping the key into his
pocket. “ I've been asking for a fire
plug in front of my house and praying
for the plumbers that fixed my pipes.
There’s nothing in the way of water
that I haven’t had a whack at,” and
the managing editor looked anxiously
for some commendation.
“What have you done for the
church ?” demanded the woman sol-
emnly.
‘•Well.” answered the managing
editor, “ I've let them have the Eagle
Irec, and I’ve puffed their entertain
ments, and I’ve said nothing about
defalcations of missionary money, and
suppressed publication of things about
the ministers, and made their sermons
read well, and done lots of things like
that. Oh, I’m wfty upon tliechurel.es.
You ask tiny of’em !”
“ But have you ever given to them
of your store !” interrogated Hie impet
uous female. “Have )ou endowed
them with money to carry on the cause
of righteousness and convey Ihe glad
tidings to all men ? Have you done
that ?”
“ Well,” stammered the, editor,
shrinking up into a ball, “I—l don’t
know as I—”
“ Wall!” ejaculated the female, glar
ing terribly at him. “I thought not.
Give me of your store! Do you
think you can save your imperishable
by praying for the mayor and the
fire department? Are you willing to
risk salvation for the public works and
the republican party ? Don’t you
know \ou can’t be saved from the
eternal tortures of never ending hell
fire without giving money to the aid
of the heathen ? Ten dollars, quick !
Satan is at your side ! He is reaching
for you ! In another minute fifteen
won't save you ! Ten dollars?”
The editor lloated around in liis
pockets and fishing < ut seven dollars
and forty cents.
“It’s all I’ve got,” lie pleaded.
“You sec there’s no chance to embezzle
around here, because the stockholders
are an ungodly lot, and won’t trust a
mail because he’s got a sanctimonious
face. Take this and call off your
devil.”
.She took it with a snort, and visiting
him with a malicious glance, stalked
out of the office.
“Swipes!” roared the managing
editor to the office boy. If you ever
let in another ofthosc high nosed, sway
backed, speckled chinned, bandy leg
ged. red headed, long-jawed vermin of
a Christian again, you’ll think a
savings bank lias bursted under you !”
and as the boy withdrew the managing
editor unlocked Ids drawer, threw his
head back and prayed long and
fervently.— Brooklyn Engle.
HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
It will be apparent to any one who will
examine a Solid Goj and Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
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 WATCH CASES, this
WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and
the SAME SOLI 1)11 Y AND STRENGTH pro
duced at from one-third to one-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, and the result is a strip o,
heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., arc 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 engraved 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.

Sun.
Hartwell Sun: “ A young gentleman
was in the Sun office yesterday*, want
ing to know the definition of the word
“ Monticcllo.” We couldn’tenlighten
him. lie said he knew that “Mont”
meant mount, but be could not make
out “cello.” We referred him to Web
ster’s Unabridged. He failed to tind
cell but thought by looking up violin
cello be might get some light on the
subject. He found that it meant a
violin an octave lower than the tenor
violin. “Eureka!” he exclaimed, I
have found it; ‘Mont’ —mount, ‘cel
lo’—an octave lower; ‘consequently’
‘Monticello*—a mountain an octave
lower than an ordinary mountain,”
Fact.
Thotnasville Enterprise: “Judge
Lmton sent to New York and had the
webbing for a seine 150 yards long
and 10 to 12 feet deep, shipped here
by express, and last week the corks
and leads were put on it, and it was
ready for use Monday. Quite a large
party left here Monday afternoon and
yesterday morning for the Shelton
pond, on the Lintondale place of
Messrs. H. J. and A. T. Mclntyre.
Judge Linton and Bill Smith went
down in charge of the seine. The last
time this pond was seined the party
caught 7,158 fish, and then owing to
a break in the seine nearly or quite
half got away. So if they* do not catch
15,000 this tne, it will not be worth
talking about at all. We will be thero
and report faithfully and correctly tho
count, provided it goes over 10.000,
otherwise it will hardly lie worth,
mentioning.
