Rev, Sam Jones.

Sam Jones delivered one of hischarac¬teristic lectures at the opera house lastnight. .:He has just recently returned from

California, and the subject of his lecturewas "California, and Oalifornians."Sam Jones's lectures and sermons are

always full ofquaint sayings and strikingillustrations, >ut his California trip'seems to have added even more to hisstock ofwit and hawor.-His lecture last night was On a some*

what different line, from that which hehas heretofore followed, bot it was in hishappiest style, and was thoroughly ap¬preciated by all who heard him.He was introduced by Eev. H»J. Ellis,

and in beginning his lecture he said thathe was going to tell of his trip in the-simplest and most interesting manner heknew how.."Ialways thought,'? he rjaid, "that

Atlanta was the hub of the universe, andthat when the Almighty created theworld He must have been very nearabout where the artesian well stands.But when! reached Los Angeles, Cal.,all these thoughts faded away. When I

?ot there the whole west was in fullloom, and Los Angeles was my dream

of fairy land." -

He went on to tell abont his religiousmeetings there, and said that most of thepeople who lived in Los Angeles werefrom New York, Boston, and other bigcities and that they were nothing like theother California people."There is one peculiar thing about,the

climate but there," he said, "and that isa fellow always has a cold, or rather hetakes a new one about twice a day.itlasts abont six bourn, sort'o like a drunkr-and your nose will run all day long.withont^wTnding up. Then the coldmakes you have such a queer feeling.It makes yon feel like yon had stolen a

sheep and wero about to be found önt.the meanest feeling in the world. Butthe thing that rattled me most was this:One day I was out riding with a friend,going down a steep hill it looked like tome. My friend asked me which way we .

were going; and I told him down, ofcourse. He then told me to notice thehorses' traces. I did so, and they weroas»tight as could be and the horses were;[polling hard too. That rattled me worse:/than"I ever was by John Barleycorn, andI felt like a fool.natural for once in my.'life, I reckon. I afterwards saw waterrun up hill thoagb, and that "made mefeel still worse." .'In speaking of the religion of the peo-i-

pi a in San Francisco, he said that theyhardly knew what it was, and that whenMr. Christian, a minister there, told him;how things were he never felt so muchlike getting drunk in his lifo; that if he'had been: a Presbyterian he would havedone it,'but;being a Methodist he wasjafraid. |"The people in California will gamble!

on anything.they will.bet on anything,from a cigarette to wheat field. Eventhe ladies net They will bet their dia¬monds on a horse race and their seal-skinsacques on a dog fight, and pay them tooif they lose." -

II "The people of San Francisco don'tbelieve in hell," continued Mr. Jones,"but they have got more of it than anyother people I ever saw. The way. theyare rushing to damnation reminds me of-my dbg. Once I w*«. out walking, and-mydog,alittle fellow,was along, sad'-.;denly a dog bigger than he was jumped;out from a yard and scared him, and heran the fastest, !¦¦ thought, I had ever,seen a dog-run, and the other dog right!after Mm. Directly a still bigger dog;jumped up and ran after the dog that;was chasing mine. Yon just ought to:have seen that middle dog. run. He wasafraid the hind dog would catch the front]dog, arid he fairly flew. That's the way]i;th\tf; San .Francisco people live. Theylive faster than any other people on jearth, and unless something stops themthey are going, to hell as fast as thai; mid-;die dog was running."In paying hi3 respects to the California

£'ress he said that most of the newspapersad jumped on him and had given'him'päTücniar:fits,vbüt-that one 'Or "two had;treated him well."Bat," said he, "the Conaliiution don't

exchange with any of the decent papers!out there, and of course they, get thosewith ail the mean things in. about me.I'll go over to see them abont it, though,for they are my friends and I'll tell themabout it and get them to revise their '

exchange list and get some of the goodoues.JVMr. Jones closed by giving an account

of.the very successful meetings he hadheld in San Francisco.

Two Old Codgers Meet.

Coi. Win. W. Hollfthd, of South Caro-Una, and Hon. J.- B.Benson, of Hartwell,were talking over their school-boy daysin Benson's store last Saturday afternoon.They were students of the Manual LaborSchool, four miles from Old Pendleton,S. O., in 1834 agd 1835. Ont of eighty-five students, as far as they could findbat, only five are now living.The old men told of innocent pranks

they played. Most of the students wero¦young men. The discipline was of thestrictest old-fashioned Presbyterian style.Rev. J.L. Kennedy, the principal, wasnoted as a rigid disciplinarian, and wouldnot hesitate to thrash a grown yonng manifhe deserved it.Among the stadents were a number of

good musicians, and they occasionallywalked up to Pendleton late at night toserenade the yonng ladies. About half amile from the school there was a creekwith a steep hill down to it. One night aserenading party had gone to town, anda lot.of boys with. backets worked likebeavers and covered a portion of thesteep hillside with a coating of blackswamp mad, and stretched a strong ropeacross the road nearly knee-high. Re¬turning in the darkness the /rope trippedthe- serenaders and tcey tumbled intothe black mud, with their immaculatelinen suits on. The serenaders were a

Bight to behold, and the in-voluntaryvocal music that ensued was of the mostdiscordant kind. The dirty victims cutthe rope into small bits,.ahd WilliamHolland had to buy a new bed-cord. Inthose days bedsteads were corded with36 yards of rope, and it took as long tocord up a bed as it does now to wind npa Waterbury watch. I;; was a good jokeon the serenaders. and Mr. Kennedynever "let on" that be knew anythingabout it.The objectof the school was to learn

boys how to work on a farm. Theyworked three hours every day, exceptSunday. James Clark was the farmerand overseer. He was a kind-heartedman. and was never known to report butone boy, George Ross, who drove themale team,.he would curse them.When brought up he told Mr. Kennedythat he did not want to curse, but no manin the world could drive that team with¬out cursing.

Quite a number of the boys made suc¬cessful planters, a majority made preach¬ers, lawyers, doctors and business men ofall kinds.Labor schools should be revived. Many

of the lazy, worthless young men-that areloatiing around, if they had been taughtto work as well as read Latin and Greekwould now be able to support themselves.Look at the rich and influential men ofthe American cities 1 More than half ofthem started from the farm, poor boys,with nothing but honesty, industry, andeconomy for ther capital. Labor omniavincit is not only true, but also Laboripse voluplas.

Yon May be too Modest.

Afterleaving the chimney the bolt separated,and a portion of it ran down the chande¬lier over the pulpit, striking Mr. Meyersin the back of the head.

tablished in Atlanta, Ga.. Wiggins' latest discovery is that the

earth is receding from the sun. and thatwe are all going to be frozen to death.. Mr. Russell Myrick of the firm of

Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark.,says he wishes to add his testimony tothe thousands which have already beengiven as to Swift's Speeific. He says hederived the most signal benefit from itsuse to cure painful boils and sores re¬

sulting from impnre blood.. When taken for a few days, potash

mixtures impair the digestion, take awaythe appetite, and dry up the gastricjuices which should assist in digestingand assimilating the food. Swift's Spe¬cific has just the opposite effect; it im¬proves digestion, brings appetite, andbuilds up the general health.. Col. Forsyth, one of the leading

raisin producers of the United Staves, hasjust returned to London from a carefnlinspection of all the raisin-growirg dis¬tricts of the Continent, and Bays thatAmerican raisins, in addition to supply¬ing the American market, are destinedBoon to take a large share of the Londonbusiness. He says the phylloxera is con¬stantly diminishing the best crops of Spainin an increasing degree, and that evenifthey should now get a remedy for it,which is cot probable, it will be five yearsbefore the Malaga district can recover itsformer position. A heavy consignmentof California raisins has been disposed ofin London this season, being the firstshipment of the kind on record.

An Editor's Experience.Major Sidney Herbert, a well known

journalist in agricultural circles, writesApril 18th, 1889: Some five years ago Iwrote a letter stating that Swift's Specifichad cured me of severe rheumatism.Since that time I have no return of therheumatic troubles, although frequentlyexposed to the influences that producedformer attacks. Several of my friendshad a similar experience,- and are firm intheir conviction that S S. S. bronght a

permanent cure. ¦ The searching powerof this medicine, is shown in the factthat it developed a scrofulous taint thatwas conspicuous in ray blood over thirtyyears ago, and has removed the lasttrace of it. I have also tested S. S. S. asa tonic after a severe attack of malarialfever, which kept me in bed for threemonths, and 8m convinced that its cura¬tive and strengthening properties insuredmy recovery from that illness, as I wasin a very low condition of health.
