A Schoolboy Who Knew Too
One day recently the
amusing incident occurred in one
our district schools, unfortunately
the teacher’s expense: A class in
second reader unapt in
was reading about the “golden
ins” and their peculiar habits.
they had finished reading the teach¬
er asked the class if anyone coula
tell her the celorof the golden
All were silent. Thinking to
en them upon the subject she took
handsome and apparently costly
from her finger, and, holding it
before the class said: “What does
this look like?” Up jumped a
cious youth of 7 years and shouted:
“Brass!”—Erie Observer,
The Farmer and the Tariff
Boston Advertiser.
The first protective tariff in the
United States began with the found
ing of the republic itself. The pro
dominant interests of the nation were
those ot an agricultural natu.e. A
manufacturing estaplishment is no
where more thoroughly appreciated
than by the inhabitants of a village
devoid of factories. Such a village
is usually willing to bestow great
benefits upon any manufacturer who
will come f and locate in its midst.
And the same is true of a nation
which is without manufacturing in¬
dustries. The great men who form
ed and secured the adoption of the
Federal constitution knew that they
had the farmers behind them in their
efforts to foster home manufacturers
by discriminating protective duties.
Benjamin Franklin said: “Every
manufacture encouraged in our coun
try makes part of a market for pro¬
visions within ourselves, and saves
so much money to the country as
must otherwise be exported to pay
for the manufactures lie supplies.”
Alexander Hamilton rdfoinded his
countrynacn “that there arc natural
causes tending to render the external
demand for the surplus of agricul¬
tural nations a precarious reliance.”
The suggestion of Hamilton is as
appropriate to-day as it ever was.
John C. Calhoun added his testi
mony as follows: “When our maim
facturcs have grown to a certain
proportion, as they will under the
fostermg care of the government,
the farmer will find ready market
for his surplus produce, and, what is
of equal consequence, a certain and
cheap supply for all his wants.”_
Calhoun was a protectionist until he
became a secessionist; and, now that
the sectioii of which he was the lead
er b&Alomiug reconciled to the spir¬
it and tendency of other American
institutions, the protective tariff is
again growing in favor with the
Southern States.
Thomas Jefferson was another of
tho fathers who believed in develop¬
ing manufacturing industries, urg.
ing that “we must now place our
manufacturer by the side of the ag
riculturist. Experience has taught
me that manufacturers are now as
necessary to our independence as to
our comfort.”
John Quincy Adams gave expres
sion to a thought which is as oppor
tune’now as it was then when he said:
“The great inteiests ot an agricul
tural, commercial and manufacturing
nation are so linked in union togeth
er that no permanent cause of pros
perity to one of them can operate
without extending its influence to
the others.”
Andrew Jackson declared that we
had “too much labor employed in
agriculture, and that the channels
for labor should be multiplied.”
Daniel Mobster said “that is the
truest American policy which shall
most usefully employ American cap
ital and American labor. Agricul
ture, commerce and manufacturers
will prosper together.” By protect
ing maul tacturing industries the far
mer is directly benefitted through
the creation of a profitable home
market for his products.

Col. Adams and several more of
the sugarers, it is stated, have ey¬

losses,
Richard Trippe (colored), on John
Wright’s plantation, had his arm dis

A large piece of timber from Col.
Adams’ house was blown through Z.

fencing aud shade trees are totally
destroyed. Nearly all the property
that was damaged in the storm of
1884 was again damaged to-day. It
is impossible to hear from the coun¬
try at this hour.
How Long Should a Nervous Pattent
Be Treated.
The question of how long treat
ment should he continued in a neur
otic case when no evident benefit is
produced has recently been raisd in
a Hamburg law court, A medical
man, says tbe Lancet, having as a
patient a merchant suffering from
“nervousness,” treated him by gal
vanism. Altogether he galvanized
him 445 times, but the nervousness
did not disappear. Then came the
matter of fees. The sum claimed was
$556. The merchant disputed this
on the ground that the treatment
ought not have been contined so
long, as it was not producing any
benefit. The court referred the mat¬
ter to the medical board, which gave
as its opinion that the doctor ought
to have asked the patient, after some
fifty sittings, whether he would like
to continue them, as it was doubtful
whether the treatment was doing
any good. The court, however, de¬
clined to accept this view, holding
that it, was for the patient to say
when he had tried the treatment as
long as he was disposed to pay for
it, and as gave judgment for the full
amount claimed. This judgment
seems to accord - with the principle
that applies to newspaper subscript
tions. A man must pay for his pa
per as long as he takes it from
post office.
AN INCIDENT OF BULL RUN.
IIOW GEN. LEE BROKE BOTH IIIS
HANDS THE MORNING AFTER THE
SECOND BATTLE.
A brief chapter of unwritten war
history was related by Capt. Greene
of Charlottesville, Ya., as he with a
group of ex-Cdnfederates were stud¬
ying the panorama of the battle at
Bull Ruu. Said he: It is a fact not
generally known that a serieus acci¬
dent occurred to General Robert E.
Lee the morning after the second
battle of Bull Run. General Lee and
'sjjpnewall log, Sudley Jackson Springs, were seated on a
near when some
Confederate soldiers, who had cross¬
ed the ford imagined they had struck
Pope’s whole army. They instantly
became stampeded and rushed pelb
mell by the two officers. Gen, Lee’s
horse, old Traveler, broke away, and
the General in his efforts to catch
him was thrown violently to the
ground, breaking both hands. Gen.
Lee went to South mountain and An
tietam in an ambulance and traveled
in this manner through the cam¬
paigns that followed, carrying his
hands in a sling. According to my
best remembrance he never fully re¬
covered from the injury.”
A Letter I-ifty-beven Years Old.
In searching among his old letters
the other day, Mr. Dan Adams, clerk
of the Superior Court, came across a
letter written to his father, Dan Ad
anis, Esq., by his Drother George Ad
ams, who lived at the time in New
berry, South Carolina. The letter is
dated April 10 1830, and is remarka
bly well preserved. The paper is urn
calendared, but of a good quality,
and the ink used was as good as any
made nowadays,
The letter is written principally
on family affairs and the news of the
-ne^ji-boThwad.'Gne extract
that horrible murders were committ¬
ed in those days and that extraordi¬
nary tliiugs occurred also. The writ¬
er says: “I forgot to inform you how
David Sims was murdered. He was
cut with an axe from the eyes across
nose, through to the palate of the
mouth, and that part of the face
hung down, though he could not
talk till it was sewed or held up IIo
afterward talked and mide his will.
Ilis arms was out nearly off and one
of his fingers. He lived six ot eight
days.”
There were no envelopes or stamps
need in those limes, and the mount
of postage paid on it was eighteen
and three-quarter cents.
The Death of Poor “Snow,”
We had a dog named “Snow.” He
wasn’t much of a dog—never dotae
anything in his time more remarka¬
ble than just laying around the firo
in, pold weather and taking in the
sunshine on the piazza when the
weather was mild. He got to be very
old, and after the wagon ran over
him and broke his leg he got to be a
regluar nuisance about the house,
getting in everybody’s way and
whining if you only looked at him.
(j /Wd morning the landlord said
uewoulfi take him-out in the woods
and kill him. But when ho got there
and aimed the gun at him, Snow
looked at him so pitifully and so ret
proachfull that he didn’t have the
heart to shoot him, and came back
home with poor Snow limping pain,
fully beside him and looking grate¬
ful for tho life- which had been spar¬
ed him.
But Albert, tho boy who drives
the wagon for Mr. Batts, was less
merciful, and when he took Snow
out the net day he shot his head
clean off and “left him alone in his
glory.”
New, Albert says that every night
of his life Snow conies at him, hold
ing his head in hir mouth, ahd haunts
him till he can’t sleep.—Smithville
News.
Rev. Robert Hall, when asked how
many sermons a preacher could pre¬
pare in a week replied. “If he is a
man of pre-eminent ability, one; if
he his a man of ordinary ability, t\yo
if he is an ass, six.”
