8sr*T“ Yesterday afternoon, a raft
came sailing down the river, and upon
it sat, as a lone passenger, a fine spe
cimen of the “Brer Rabbit,'’ When
the raft came near the bank, and “Brer
Rabbit” hopped off as gaily as a candy
J butcher from a railroad train. The
crowd which had assembled to welcome
him gave chase, but “Brer Rabbit”
was too quick for his pursuers.
We copy the above item from the
lacon Graphic, of the 20th inst., mere
to say that it is not probably gene
rally known, that among the few ani-
lals which cannot swim are the rabbit
nd the sheep. In cases of sudden
rises in streams, when sheep realize the
fact that they are surrounded by the
rising flood, they make no effort to es
cape, but will stand still, and if the
water rises high enough, will submit to
their fate, and quietly drown without a
“bleat.” When a rabbit finds himself
surrounded, “and the water still a ris-
in\” seeming to know that he cannot
save himaelf by swimming, seeks the
highest point of land he can reach, and
often many of them congregate on one
little knoll, wbeie boys who understand
this, buut them and take them in great
numbers. If the water continues to
rise, and tho rabbit is forced to seek
other refuge, they will go up hollows in
frees, leap on stumps, logs, or rafts—
anywheie (o get away from the water.
. nd it often happens that a log or raff
upon which one or several rabbits have
.* one for safely is floated off, and car
red down the current. Many of them
it e drowned upon logs, as the log will
be turned over by u rough place in the
uirreut or die striking of any object iu
the stream, when “Brer Rabbit” finds
n watery grave. Thin accounts for the
< Iraphic’s “rabbit on the raft.”

General Ajront For
twid that ex President Grant now has
not the shadow of a chance to be elected
to a third term, and never will have
again. His nomination would bring
defeat upon his party, ul ra, complete
and overwhelming. At the lime of the
last national Republican convention,
there was reason lo fear that Gen.
Grant would receive tho Republican
nomination, which nomination was then
almost equivalent to an election. Had
he been nominated and elccied in 1880,
we believe lie would have attempted to
have carried iuto effect his daring
scheme of consolidation, when, if sue
cessful, lie would have usurped the
Teins of government and declared him
self the head of the empire, with royal
powers and prerogatives. But the nom
inal ion and election of Garfield forever
eclipsed Grant’s opportunities, and the
danger is past. The American people
have “laid Gen. Grant upon the shelf,”
and they were never known to turn
and take up oue whom they had put
aside.

THE BOSS STOVE MAH.
Hampton Guardian : Augusta can
boast of the “boss'-sl” stove man in
three States. His name is W. I.
Delph, and every person in Hamp
ton has bought a stove from him. or
intends buying one. He has ship
p'd stoves to several “happy couples”
down this way, having made special
terms lo-encourage matrimony. We
expect to order our cook stove from
llelph, and we advise all others to uo
likewise. llis prices are very rea
sonable.
[We not only endorse all the above
paragraph says, but say to the people
of Burke county that W. I. Delph is
the man from whom to buy your
stoves. We know him. When you
go to Augusta, even if you do not
wish to buy, it will pay you to call
and take a look at M. Delph’s mag
nificent stock—Ed. Cit.]
The Hon. J. T. Jordan writes an
able letter to the Sparta Ishmaelite in
vindication of the vote against the
State’s acceptance of the Brown dona
tion. Waiving the Constitutional ques
tion involved, he devotes his criticism
to the bill, in which was embodied the
terms and conditions of the donor’s be
quest, and concludes as follows : “If
Governor Brown desires to contribute
of his wealth to the educational inter
ests of the State, let him do as our la -
rnented Terrell, without hampering tho
gift with conditions repugnant to tho
self-respect of the people of Georgia.—
Then the Legislature will cordially
and cheerfully accept it. Should lus
sons in future develop a tallent requi
site to supervise the educati^p of the
youth of the State, tho people will
doubtless in due time discover it and
reward their merits as they have so
often done their distinguished father.”
W jlk.esb.vkhe, Pa., Jan. 24.--
About forty acres of territory in the
second ward of tins city, nearly cover
ed with buildings, have sunk from six
irichoG to two feot, and many houses
have been abandoned. The Delaware
and Hudson s ( o’b. coal mines underlie
this territory, and the sinking is vari
ously ascribed to the rotting of timber
supports, and the takiug away of tho
pillars of coal usually left to support
the roofs of mines.

The Chronicle & Constitutional id is rapidly
approaching the completion of t he Ho t, century
of existence. The paper we publish is essential
ly a type of modem progress, which demonstra
tes that this es.uldished journal has become bet
ter and stronger as it increases in years. Tho
men who have, from one generation to another,
worked upon it, ami helped to make it. u power
in the laud, submit, and will submit, to the com
mon lot of immunity, and pass away from this
earth and its struggles, hut the result of their la
bor remains, and will continue to remain. The
workmen die. but the work goes on.
The chronicle enters the new year with excep
tional ml vantages. Its daily edition is a well-fill
ed eight.-pajte paper. Its second edition, for the
evening mails, is eight panes, with the afternoon
markets and telegraphic reports. It takes the
place of the tri-weekly edition. Its mammoth
weekly paper will compare with any in the conn-
try. Into this edition the choicest, and creamiest
news of tlie week is collected, and upon its lap
si tie best and freshest editorial and miscellane
ous matter from the daily is poured. Its market,
reports, covering nearly one page, will be. an
especial feature, prepared each week for tho
country reader.
Its news service will sustained by trained and
scholarly correspondents, in the three eapitols—
Atlanta, (Columbia and Washington—while it will
strive to have a news representative in every
neighboring town.
The mail facilities ot this paper are now superb
Four daily trains distribute its editions in South
Carolina and three in Georgia. It reaches all the
principal points in South '.’arolina early on the
day of publication, reaching Columbia at It a m.
The fast mail schedule of the Georgia Railroad
lands the Chronicle and Constitutionalist in all
towns along the line early in the forenoon, while
Its issue is unfolded in Atlanta and Athens by
noon each day.
