The Fee Dee Herald gets off the fol
tr. power of the
press S Montgomery:
One of the candidates for the position
■’ ' n ttle count y of Montgomery,
was out buck whacking. He went to a
armei s house in the hids of Pekin to
work on a farmer and his numerous sons
twenty^seven in number. We will only
state facts as they were told us. The
candidate met oue of the boys first, and
the following conversation took p'ace ;
Candidate—“My friend, how are you?
I am glad to s;e you. How is your fath¬
er? How is your mother? How are
your brothers and their families *’
Son—‘They are all well, and I am tol¬
erable.’
Candidate—‘I have come to see if you
and your folks were going to vote for
me. You know we were raised up to
gether; went to tbe name church,’ Ac.,
Son—‘Well. I like you tolerable well*
but I must see ‘dad before I can promise
to vote for you.”
Candidate—‘Let’s go and see your
father.’
They go about throe or four miles,
over bills and gullies, to fiud the old
man—and when they found bun he said
he could not promise until he saw his
oldest son, who lives about six miles fur¬
ther on. They arrive about dusk, aud
the candidate being in a hurry, broaches
the subject at once in one of the prettiest
little ‘whacker’s speeches you ever heard
The old son says, ••Nancy Jane, bring
me my last ‘Spirit of the South,’ and af¬
ter looking over it for some time, said,
‘Mr-, I have been been knowing you
a long time, and like you mighty well,
but according to my paper I’ll be d—d
if it is constitutional to vote for you.'
The candidate waiting to hear no
more, but he now sw ears that hereafter
he wil keep in wbh the newspaper men,
when he is a candidate.
WHAT CONSTITUTES SLANG.
Probably all right-minded persons,
savs a correspondent, dislike slang ex¬
pressions, but few, it any, would think of
calling proverbial phrases slang. The
writer quotes two specimens of Ameri¬
can slang, name'y : ‘He bets his bottom
dollar on it,” and ‘He dies in his boots.’
Now these are bath old proverbial say**
ings. In essence they are not American,
neither are they slang, according to the
usual acceptation of the term. Slang
words are words misapplied so as to have
no real meaning, or an incorrect one.
They are scant words which convey no
sense, or tlse an incorrect one, to the
uninitiated hearer. Thus, ‘flare up’ was
a favor; te slang expression frorty years
ago. and it is slang now to speak of an
‘awfully’jolly song, a ‘stunning’ rosebud,
or a “gorgecus” piece of brown paper.
All such misapplied words are slang ;
and though in a tew rare instance, espe**
Mally among the American ones, slang
words are expressive and original, so
that they may be fairly adopted and re¬
cognized, yet, as a rule, they are no real
addition to onr language. Expressions
such as “tall talk”, for which no better
or telling word can be found, are perhaps
fairly tolerable ; but to say I shall ‘tool’
into town, in place of drive, is simply
slang without excuse.
It is not the words hut the misappli¬
cation which constitutes slang ; the use
of proverbial expression, quaint old
terms, and hackneyed phrases, is net
slang, though often in bad taste. Do not
let us object to any old tashioned, vigor*
ous expressions which are to the purpose,
and call them slang ; but let us all pro
test against ‘new-fangled’ and unmean¬
ing phrases which have nothing but un¬
meaning and eccentric novelty to recom¬
mend them.
As a conceited young man was sing¬
ing in company, an old lady burst into
tears. The singer, greatly flattered by
the old lady’s emotion, took an early op¬
portunity to get an introduction to her.
When she thanked him cordially for his
song and said : ‘I bad an ass I thought
a great deal of that died lately, and your
voice was so exactly liko his, that I could
not help thinking of the poor beast as
you sang.’ She clashed her handkerchief
to heT face again, and the young man
stole silently away.
One day last week, as Dr, Jas. Wise,
of Oglethorpe county, was watching a
pair of kids, about three months old, one
of them started across a space of ground
exposed to the burning rays of the sun.
After proceeding a shot distance, the
kid dropped as if it had been short, and
before the owner could reach it, it was
dead. Dr. Wise says the animal was
undoubtedly sun struck,
TWO DO LLAR S Pe* Annum
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
To farm profitably one must think cor
rectly ; and correct thought comes from
reflection and training. It is the veriest
folly to expect from the recent graduate
a trained experience ; hut we should ask
for a trained mind which can qiuckly re
ceive the teachings of experience, aud fit
f or pio fitable uses. We do not ask, for
our part, for our college to graduate prac
lical farmers ; we but ask that they grad
uate men educated to act from principles,
and to think correctly, and in whom the
charms of a country life and the possibili¬
ties of a farming career have taken root
When farming, practal farming, has the
sympathies of an educated class of men,
there is everything to be hoped. When
men trained to think, and whose thought
is trained to take expression in action,
enter upon the arena of a farming life,
ihe possibilities of our soil and location
to become developed to an extent
little realized. A clsss of educated far¬
mers mean greater opportunoities for the
common farmers whose education has
been derived from toilsome experience
and the conflict of trials. It means bet¬
ter aud practical lectures, more use'ul ag
ricultural societies, a higher toned agri"
cultural press, the extension of dead-beats
from agricultural influence, and a heaU
thier tone in agriculture generally. Eds
ucation brings sells respect, and self-res
pect draws to itself the respect of oth¬
ers.
This is onr agricultural politics in a nbt
shell .—Scientific Farmer.
A tree resembling the cedar, but with
foliage so full of combustible oil that it
goes off like a flash on the application of
a match, is one of the wouders of Neva

green tree, with spreading branches, is
changed info a ebarred and blackened
trunk.
Poof Living—A good Methodist
Minister at the West, who lived on a
very small salary, was greatly troubled
at one time, to get bis quarterly install
ment. He bad called on his stewart a
number of times, but had each time been
put off with some excuse.—His wants at
length becoming urgent, he must have
his money, and his family was suffering
for tbe necessaries of life. ‘Money !’ re
plied the steward. ‘You preach for
money! I thought, you preached for the
good of souls!’ ‘Souls !’ replied the min
ister; ‘I can’t eat seals, and if I could,
it would take a thousand such souls as
yours to make a decent meal. ’ .

A boy who spends an boar each even
mg lounging idly on the street corners
wastes, in the course of a year, three
hundred and sivty-five prooious hours,
which, if applied to study, would fainil
iarize him with the rudiment of almost
any of the larniliar siences. If, in, addi¬
tion to him spending an hour each eve*
ning he spends ten cents for a cigar,
which is usually the case, the amount thus
worse than wasted would pay for ten ot
the leading perodicals ot the country.
Boys think of these things.
An ex-rebel in South Carolina heard a
good colored preacher say he was a Re¬
publican, where upon he took a shotgun
and chased the darkey all the way from
Charleston to Lower California and made
him jump into the Pacific Ocean and
swim to the Sandwich Islands. And yet
there is a class of people in this country
who would have us believed that South
Carolina is as peaceful as Massachusetts
will be on the day after Ben Butlers fu¬

The End of the World,—I t is on the
11th of July next that, if the proclama^
tion posted.by the Wahabses in the
mosque of northern India are to be be*
heved, the world is to come to an end.
The story, as set forth m the manifesto,
runs as follows : A priest in the mosque
at Medina has lately bad a visit from the
prophet, who laments the degenerate
condition of his followers, and attributes
the recent short rainfalls and consequent
scarcity to neglect of his precepts, and to
tbe corruption and apathy of tbe judges
who sits over his people. The prophet,
moreover, asserts that only seven Mussnl
mans have attained to eternal bliss since
his own admission to paradise. This
state of things is so unsatisfactory that
the Almighty has derided that the sun
shall rise in tbe west instead of the east
on July 11; and on that day all who call
themselves true believers shall be struck
with blindness, and dissolution follow
immediately. Tf there be a word of
falsehood,' adds tbe priest, ‘in what I
bare stated, let my face be blackened
forever.’

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, tbe nominee
ot the Conservative Convent ion for Con*,
gress from the Third Virginia District,
has just written the following letter of
acceptance:
M To the Voters of the Zhird Con
gressional, District; I an non need to
the nominating convention of the dis*
trict, immediately before its adjournment,
that, in a letter of acceptance I expected
to be called npen to write, my opin
ions on the questions now interesting the
public should be freely given. I have
not been called upon for each a letter,
bnt have received from various parts of
the district very earnest expressions of
wishes to learn my opinions on the ques>
tions, especially that of finance.
‘I hold that for the first of them in irn
portanee is that of the maintenance of
the Democratic party of the United
States in its integrity. For we of the
South owe to that party our release from
the condition of conquered provinces and
the Constitution we now enjoy. And if
we maintain it undivided it will proba^
bly acquire the control of both the legis¬
lative and executive branches of the
government, and introduce honesty,
economy, and strict construction of the
Constitution into the government, and
restore prosperity to the country.
‘I hold the law establishing national
banks, including the prohibitory tax (10
per cent.) on other banks, to be utterly
unconstitutional, and therefore ought to
he repealed as soon as possible ; the na**
tional bank notes to be called in gradually
by the substitution ot redeemable United
States notes, and the issue
of such notes to be Increas¬

‘How greedy you are,’ said one little

It is printed that there is a girl down
