married without shoes.
About twenty years ago, a young fel¬
low named Johnson, in the wilds of the
Cheat Mountains, in West Virginia,
made up his mind to be married.
‘But you have not a penny,’ remote
strated his fMends.
J have my hands, A man was given
^ hands,
two one to scratch tor himself,
and the other for his wife,’ he said.
On the day of the wedding, Johnson
appeared in a hHite coat and trousers,
but barefooted.
Thi3 is hardly decent,’ said the cler¬
gyman. ‘I will lend you a pair of
shoes.’
•; * , I \ f •
No, ^ ^ ( ( ,
said Johnson. _
‘TV”hen I can
buy shoes I’ll wear them ; not before.’
And he stood op to be niarried without
another thought of his feet.
The same sturdy directness showed
itself in his futtire course. What he had
hot the money to pay for, he did with¬
out. He hired himself to a farmer for a
year’s work. With the money saved
from his wages, he bought a couple of
acres of timber land and a pair of sheep,
built himself 'A hut, and went to work on
his ground.
His sheep increased; as the time,
passed, he bought more ; then sold off
the cheaper kinds and invested in South
dawn and French Merino, His neigh¬
bors tried by turn raising horses, cattle
or gave their attention to experimental
farming,
'Johnson, having once found out that
sheep raising in this district brought a
handsome profit, stuck to sheep raising,
lie Had the shrewdness in seting ttib best
waj T , and dogged persistence in follow¬
ing it, which are tlie surest elements of
success.
Stock buyers from the Eastern mar¬
kets soon found that Johnson’s fleece
were the finest, and his muttons the
, Sweetest, on the Cheat. He never al¬
lowed their reputation to tall ‘ the end
of which course is that the man who
was manied barefooted is now worth a
lai’gb property;
’1 he story is dri absolutely thie one and
may point a moral for the hordes of
stout, able bodied men who crowded the
cities this winter complaining that they
must starve for want of work.
Amoiig. the bill tHbeS ot the Anglo
Indian frontier ciitihiDg is Quite fls highly
esteemed as personal prowess; but even
theSe masters of stratagem are occasion¬
ally outwitted. A Hindoo trader, who
had oc asion to pass through their coun¬
try recently, laid out a!! his money in
several large diamonds, which he bound,
round his head with a soiled rag, made
to look like the bandage of a wound.
He then put on ids raggedest clothes,
and loaded a donkey with loaves ot
spiced bread, such as the mountaineers
like, putting a good dose of opiuni in
each. He soon fell in w'ilh half a dozeu
brigands, who paid no attentiou to the
ragged traveler, but pounced upon the
bread and ate the whole of it. The opr
um soon put them to sleep, whereupon
the traveler took what money they had,
their arms and the best ot their clothes,
and went his way id peace. But he
took care not to travel by that road
again; .i
An Atlanta correspondent of the Au
yusta News says: “I Wish to mention
a fact piobably not well known—L know
it is not. Wm. Longstreet, grandfather
of General James Longstreet, who re
ided iu Augusta in 1793, was the first
man to apply steam power to working
steamboats* In the latter part of l He
last century he coursed the Savannah
river with a steamboat ot his owu. con¬
struction, being twelve of “fifteen f years
before Fulton went up the Hudson.
The seWing machine is also a Georgia
invention, and the inventor is now liv¬
ing—Dr. \Ym. Goulding, aui hoi of
‘Young Marooners,’ is the man. Several
other reuowned and important inven
ventions, suclr as the cotton gin, were
made by Gfeorgians.’’
Redmond, the South Carolina outlaw
and moonshiner, was married to Adeline
Ladd, a Pickens county lass, the other
Sunday night. The ceremony was per¬
formed sub rosa, at midnight, by moon¬
shine, all eyes cocked in anticipation of
a raid by Deputy Marshals. But no
Marshals interfered and Redmond is en¬
joying his honeymoon in the heart of the
Blue Iiidge* No cards.
The petition of about four hundred
persons in North Carolina, indicted for
Violations of the revenue laws, that their
sentences be suspended during good be¬
havior upon their pleading guilty, lias
been granted. They promise to respect
the laws in future.

A case turning upon the nature of a
communication sent by postal card was
lately decided in the Supreme Court at
Roohester, New York. A young mail
received a postal directed to him in the
care of his employers, which charged
him Willi collecting and appropriating
to his own use money due the writer of
the communication. Suit for damages
was thereupon brought against the la!
tei, on the ground that the postal card
was written to injure the plaintiff in the
eyes of his employers, that he wa3 tern
porarily discharged on account thereof.
The defendant held that a postal card
oommunbation was a privileged one ;
that a declaration or statement written
upon it, not being necessanly a publica.
tion, waS incumbent upon the plaintiff to
prove, not only that malicious publican
tion had been made by the defendant;
but also that such publication . ■.
was not '
just iff d in fact \ th.it according to law
no other than the person addressed had
any right lo the writing on the back of a
postal card, and that, th .refare, such
communication must in its nature be a
private one. But the plaintiff won his
case and recovered damages, So legal¬
ly, as well as in fact, the opinions on a
postal card are publicly nud not private¬
ly expressed. The practical lesson
taught is to the effect that it is not safe
to use postsl eavds iti telling your dis -1
agreeable neighbors what yo;i think of
them. Envelope and paper are more eis
pensive at the time, but may be cheaper
in the end.
A Hundred Yeaus Ago.— One hun>*
dred years ago not a pound of coal, not
a cubic foot of illuminating gas, had
been burned in this country. No iron
stoves were used, an no Contrivance for

Franklin iiivented the irou frauia fire
place, which still-bears Miis name. All
themockirig and wahnin * iti tbwri and
country were done by the hid of :i fire
kindled iu the brick oved or on th j
hearth. Pine knots or talloW candles
furnished light for the long winter nights
and sanded floors supplied the place of
rugs and Hdrpets. The water used for
household purposes was drawn from
diep well, by tlie „ereakiBg sweep, No
form of pump was used in this country,
so far as we can learn; until after the pr ■ 8
eht eentdry. Theie were no friction
matches in those early days by the aid of
which a fire could be easily kindled ; and
if the fire “went out upon the hearth”
over night; and the tioder was damp, bo
that the sparks would not catch, the al>
^ernative was presented of wandering

borrow of a neighbor. Only one room
in any bouse was warm, unless some of
the family were ill. Id all the rest the
the temperature was at zero many nights

Night photographs by the aid of tlie

The pictures look different from those
taken by the sun, and have a bluish tinge

every object is brought out with full dis

which adds to their attractiveness. The
use of the electric light to secure photo

The Augusta Sentiaei says (hat a col¬
ored woman in Oglethorpe county'* who
has always encountered more dr less
cruelty from her husband; accused bum
last week of sinjthering their baby be¬

slnck did her feelings undergo while
brooding over her calamity that; oh the
place of Mr, \\ r . A. Hardy, of Wood,

At least tlie water drawn up was found
to be streaked with blood, and an exatni

band had thus privately made way with
her have also been aroused.

THE CASE STRONGLY STATED.
Hon. Clai'kson Potter’s Letter Declining a>
Congressional Ronomination.
To-day our industries are paralizad be
cause the men who have wealth are
afraid to lend it, not for waBtof good se¬
curity, not because they cannot get satis¬
factory interest, but solely because they
are uncertain as to the dollar in which
they aie to be repaid. They will lend
on security for thirty or sixry days at
very low interest, because if Congress
should attempt to change the measure of
values they can get their money back
before the change could be accomplished;
and men will borrow in th e same way
for the same reason. But such brief
loans aie of but little help to the coni'
munity. To be of general advantage
capital must tie permanently invested,
and to-day the capitalist hesitates to in»
vest his money in euteipvises which he
knows will furnish him both good secu¬
rity and proper profit because he Cannot
tell what, three or five years from nowj
is to be the size of the dollar in which be
is to be paid. Undoubtedly if a uniform
currency of Treasury notes possesses
great advantages, and business could be
done even in a fiat currency it receivable
for Government dues (although not oth¬
erwise redeemable,) provided the amount
of it were fixed. A redeemable curren*
cy, on the other hand, need not be limits
ed in amount. But a currency which is
neither redeemable nor fixed in amount,
but is liable to bo changed in value by
legislation, is,’ of all currencies, the one
most destructive fo business. F’cr my¬
self, I believe that if Congress could be
abolished for two years the industries of
the country would be reviving within a
month j but just so king as the agitauon,
for changing the measure of values goes
od just so long will those industries be
kept down.
