If. we could sketch what we see with our eyes and descri be the surroundings as we feel them in our " hearts, it would be a doublo pleasure to niiMikind. I wish I had a little HOC lcet camera that would take a Dhototcraph in an instant, and attract uobody's attention, one t i i r 1 1 could ju9t draw a focus i a a novel scene or landscape ..r a pretty face, or even a dog iitcht, and take a picture no lar ger than a dime, and then have it have it expanded by a larger instrument. I read in the Sci entific American " that ; the . French artists will take a sheet of paper that is six feet square, and has 5.000 words written upon it, and will photograph it down to two inches upon a slip of I1p of thin vellum, and tie that round the long leather in a carrier pigeon's tail and send the bird 500 miles in la day, and then have the vellum mag nified so that-every word can be read. La3t Sunday morning two . hardy countrymen called at the commissary store to borrow a iick and shovel wherewith to dikr a grave. They said the old man Wade was .dead, the .old man with the dropsy. He had been as good as dead for a long time and ms wife and their' invalid daughter had nursed him for years. They were poor, very poor, and the old woman worked out when sLa could and so they had kept out of the poor house and kept the wolf from the door. J Not Ion.;? ago she took a contract for splitting rails and without help of any kind cut and split ' io a week and pocketed her ' two dollars on Saturday with a thankful" heart and a "Bless God for his goodness." For years this strong-armed and strong-hearted woman has maintained the family and comforted the suffering inva lids. She is as much a heroine as was Joan of Arc, for she did I what s-he could and does all she Iran and neyer complains. She works up to the full measure of her capacity. Sunday evening the funeral procession came by, and it was then that I wanted Horace Ilraclley with his sketch book. The ortege was a yoken of ox en drawing a dirty ore wagon a waon with a strong, strait frame that the ore haulers use. A nabor h'cd loaned this hum ble hearse, and a pale faced boy of sixteen had volunteered to drive. A plank seat had been placed across in ' front for tba old woman and her daugh ter, and a black stained coffin took up the place behind them. The pale faced boy walked and drove the oxen. Blowly the slow team ' moved along the sandy road, sad and silent the old woman and her daughter leaned to each other with fold ed arms, and their old-fashion ed sun-bonnets almost touching and their homespun garments showing that even poverty can be clean. I wanted to look upon their care-worn faces, but they turned not, neither to the right nor to the left. They too seemed dead, or almost dead, and so did the oxen and the boy, so still, so slow, so sad, so solemn. Never was there a more touching picture for the artist's pencil. "We thought this team was all, and we won dered, but by and by another ox team came in ' sight and then a buggy with the preach er and then some more of the humble people walking, and by the time the country graveyard was reached, there was quite a gathering of! those who had come to join with simple pray er and song and help to put the old man in the ground. Veri ly it does not cost much to die and be buried at the mines and there is no difference to the dead. They sleep a well as at Greenwood. There was another picture that would have rejoiced Hor ace Bradley. .It was a. court scene, a trial by a magistrate, ft inai or a man lor assault . with intent to kill a man. Theproa e'eutor was a blacksmith and the defendant - was a white s' nath who had seized a hatch et and ordered the blacksmith io get out of hi store or quit cursing, wnereupon the black inith affectod great indigna tion and sued out a warrant lor assault with intent to kil The case was tried In the mid tify in a case, but "I5" will hear any one of you whichsoever you choose.'1-- .There were.-'rio lawyers to discuss this; grave question and Borthe - defendant told his tale.l &u& - then two darkies testified .and . the old squire tooka chewftpacpo and said: "Well, gentlemen, I don't see as how this here case is much of a case, and nobody's been hurt or was likely to be, and there was no scrimmage to justify the warrant, but t I've been , bothered and . pestered ritrht smart and lojt more than half a day, and I can't fool around such business for noth in'.and my costs have got to be paid by somebody or the office hain't worth nothin', but an .ac commodation, and as the -prosecutor can't pay it and the de fendant can, I Will jest fine him two dollars and quit.f Jslr. vionstableyou can collect them costs and then adjourn the court, for bus'ness is bis'ness." "Well, I'll be dogon'd," said an fore-digger. flwo dollars for pickfn' tip a hatchet and tell in' a feller sd go out of your house. Dogon'd if It ? wpnt j be dangerous for a feller to take up a hatchet to nail on a plank." . , But I reckon the judgment of the court was about right, . for he must have his costs and they must pay it who can. , 'T7hen I came home there was another picture n the shaded lawn that . fronts my house, and which is a good part of her home. ,. Children had gathered ' there 1 tci - frolic, ; , ; Whipping Editors. Editor W. S. Herbert of the Kinstou Free Press has had a fight and he came out with flying colors In his issuse of last week Editor Herbert iu writing up the prohi bition eUction stated that a saloon keeper named Bryan Fieids 'was drank at the polls and made him self a nuisance. The morning after the paper was issued, as Mr Her bert was coming ' oat the post office Fields assaulted him ' with a big stick. But Editor Herbert ' w as too much for his opponent. He took the stick fronTField and" gave "him beating with it. Such is the account of tbe . affair given iu be' Free Press of Jane 14th. Field is now suing' the editor lor' libel. Mr. Field can be excused for lh ing drunk at the polls; several ; Aro'ic expeditions have discovered at a great expense' of life and j monei' that tbe nearer :-the pole j you get the more yon need to keep j you warm. But Mr. Fields ougut to nave Known more aoout cue secret workings of destiny than to at tempt to ; whip .an' t editor. The statistics tihow that ninety-nine men out of every hundred who go up stairs with a big stick to. maim and mane a poor editor either ex curt from the editorial room to the hospital on a special window shat ter borne by two policemen or else they limp down stairs with tbeir ears in their vest pockets looking like they had just leaned over the dash board and twisted the tail of a cyclone. It really looks like some good angel must camp around about the editorial fraternity. If no; why is it that every time a bully goes after an editor'e scalp, he comes back looting like . he has been chewed Dp and spit out by a cotton gin! . I We never saw bat one man on the war path for a poor journalist and from him gained a great moral lesson besides a local item a col- umn ana a nait ion. Ibis man climbed two flights of stairs after his eiuor. His carried a black thorn stick a bowie-knife, and his breath smelt like a cross between a brimstone furnace and a moon shine still house. , He entered , the sanctnui and locked the door ' De- hind him. In the corner set a consumptive looking voang- man writing an editorial on Universal Peace." The big " man raised his club and the little editor raised his eye"..

QOVEBNOR and some were swinging and some were in the hammock and some were playing base and all were merry an'd happy as the birds that watched them from the leafy trees. How-inrro-centJy envious we are of these children. With what sweet longing we look upon ' their sportive ways, their glowing faces' and listen to their "merry laughter, and as they race and run and play around us. It is a right sad thing to grow old too old, too stiff to play; and some times we whisper a line of the old song, '.'Oh, would I were a boy again." I was amused at a friend who is himself ap proaching the shady side, and who watched them boys' until he said couldn't stand Jit any longer, and so with a grunt he got down upon the ground and joined the boys who weie play ing 'mumble peg, and with the eagernesfc of. his youth went through the same old formula of palms and backs and. "fists and fingers, and shoulders and chicken's speculation until the interview con cluded. -The man with the stick can't remember what happened and the editor is too modest to talk. Bat when the curtain rose on scene second the proprietor of tne btick and bowie knue was reclining on a sofa. - His nose had been cat in too and it hung down by a small ligiment while he gazed through it like it was a breech loading shot gun. While hojgazed at his nose new only a wreck of its former grandeur a doctor was fish ing in his anatomy for the teeth be had swallowed using ipecac for bait. Yes when a man starts out to massacre au editor tnere is only one silver lining tb the cloud under which lead. He is briliant beyond compeer back of his brilliancy is his putrid character.

"She has gone off with a. man Mho never did do a thing for her but give her a- ring and a book and a little French can dy now and then." " The parlor was trimmed with flowers and . evergreens.

Twenty years ago,- the woman said, her father died, leaving her his farm and several thousand dollars on condition that Bbe never marry. Before and - after the old man's death Eliza had been assiduously courted by Henry , Stepheoa. , The young woman laved - him, ' bat, under the provisions of her father's will, could .not marry.; "Finally Stephens and Miss Eliza - George were married uader the name , of A.
