REMINISCENCES OF OLDEN TIMES IN DARLINGTON. a.

tW oman'a Souvenir Edition larlln(ton If Church.] The writer of this sketch first saw the light in the now prosperous town of Darlington, then a hamlet of less than half a dozen families. But when she first remember?, several more families had been added to the population.

On the corner now occupied by Mr. Ira Booher's harness shop, stood a small frame building, the home of Jacob Smith, a Dutchman, and just east on the" corner where C. E. Thompson's dry goods store now stands was a little hewed log building. On a broad hewed glog above the door were the words: "Jacob Srflit, Gun Smit," and at the east side of the door on another broad log the sign "Whiskey for Sal," was printed, but it was not all for "Sal" for he used much of the stuff himself.

It was at this place that Buck Ramsey, while oving a loa^ of household goods stopped, drank of Smith's whiskey, started on andjja short distance from town was found dead with the wheel of his wagon on his neck. ,'

Just north and west of tbej Smith dwelling stood a little log school house. Here Dr. Naylor taught the first school the writer ever attended. Near or perhaps on the very spot the Graham saloon now occupies, stood a huge oak tree, (wish it stood theie now) with an immense swing suspended from one of its limbs. Oh, the meny times we children had!

QUEEN & ORESCENT ROUTE

In these das the saloon business was a vexation of spirit to the keeperAlter Smith moved away the old log shop was still kept fur a dram shop or 'doggery," as ii was theu called, (but that name was certainly libelous everybody knows dogs, real dogs, do not drink intoxicants.) The women arid girls of the town visited ill1 pioprietor and a petition was read to Lim urging him to stop his nefarious business. He thought to embarrass us by offering us drinks, but Miss Spofford, our school teacher, used such forcible language to him that his bi a ado (ailed him and he stood silent. Soon after he moved his liquors across ihe street, but still they made his life a burden. They pr:i 1 for him," preached aud sang to him. but all did no good. At last growing weary of failures, they fell upon a plau that proved an overwhelming success. They met one night, bursted the door open, poured out his liquors, broke bottles, glasses and destroyed his entire outfit.

After that the town wa«t never disturbed by "Old Sp.eneer" selling liquor.

Soon the little log school house above spoken of became too small to accommodate the increasing numbers of pupils. And the school house was moved to the then unfinished Presbyterian church—the one moved away to make room for the present brick edifice. After that ihe children and young people attended school at the Friends' church. The school wa.s taught in the west part of the old church that was torn down a'few years ago,

Harvey Thomas, of

cherished memory, was QUI- teacher. The first house built for "free schools" was on the lot now occupied by Mr. Enoch Thompson's residence. The writer taught the first school in the new house. In a few years jt was moved to the present school grounds.

South and west of the school ground-. many year, ,ig'u it place in the woods was ele.ired of uutlei' growth, a platform cecled and seats placed for the purpose of holding meetings. Here wore deliverd some of as grand sermons as can be heard, in the finest churches of to-day. Here the sainted Billy Campbell, as he was called, Richard Hargrave and many others whose names memory fails to recall, have made those old woods resound with pathetic eloquence. And, although we had no pipe organ, the people "sang with the spirit," "making melody in their hearts to the Lord." I can almost fancy I hear Billie Campbell as he lined the old hymn: "From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Crea-

tor's praise arise." Many who joined in singing the Creator's praise haAe for many years been singing with tho angels in heaven.

turer of dyitalto to a Ntv fork Trtbaue, reporter reently, "is almost «a coaraoa that of try foods on ceries. High explosives ars shipped to all parts sf tk« world by rail and by water, and whether they are on land or sea, they arc not particularly dangerous If they are properly stowed aad cared for. I wouldn't be afraid to make a voyage around the world ia a stateroom filled'with dynamite If it was properly stowed and there were.no fulminating caps to ignite it. Dynamite does not explode by spontaneous com' bustion. It IE carefully packed for shipment ln psper cartridges, which are placed in sawdust ln strong wooden boxes, marked on the tops and sides: 'Explosives. Dangerous.' Steamships which carry passengers have magazines for dynamite, and, in fact, also for black powder and all kinds of explosives. When the explosives are properly placed ID the magazines and not

Interfered with afterward they are not a source of danger under ordinary circumstances. When they are shipped on railroads they are generally placed In separate cars apart from other kinds of freight. The rate of freight on explosives is about the same as that on dry goods or any other commonplace com' mercial commodity. The rate ef In surance also about the same as

other goods. Tfyere are some English and American insurance companies that will not take risks on explosives, but there are plenty of companies which issue p.ollcies, so that there is no trouble experienced in having ship' ments fully covered. Dynamite with proper care can be handled as safely as any ordinary commodity." A prom inent producer of fireworks said: "Fireworks can be shipped by most lines of railroads and steamships, but only at first-class freight rates. The Sound steamers will not take-fireworks, but the Metropolitan outside line will, because they carry no passengers. Most of the fireworks sent east from here are shipped on th* New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. The Old Dominion and other southern steamship lines will carry explosives, but only in separate compartments on their upper decks. Fireworks and other explosives are also shipped on canal boats without difficulty. No large stocks of explosives are kept on hand in this city

There are four magazines for storing them near Fort Lee, and as they are transported in small quantities, the danger is reduced to a minimum."

COBBLER PRINCE.

lirltaln'* lleir Apparent (.earned the Shoemaker's Trade Wlien a Youth. Custom forces the crowned heads of Europe to remain mere amateurs in the arts, professions or trades they fan cied in youth, or which they were obliged to practise, owing to the practical ideas of wise parents, who may have foreseen that thrones have a way of disappearing in these -enlightened days. Queen Marguerite of Italy is a fine musician, and could earn her living as a music teacher the Czar of Russia is an expert cabinetmaker, and has made two or three excellent violins, while the Kaiser of Germany is said to be a jack of all trades and a paslmaster of all arts. He can make anything from a drama and a painting to a line-of-battle ship. But it remains for the world to hear of a royal shoemaker in the person of the Prince of Wales. A

Russian nobleman turned cobbler in the person of Count Leon Tolstoi, and, according to the London Woman at Home, it has now been discovered that Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, heirapparent to the throne of Great Britain, can turn out a pair of patent leathers or hunting boots with the best of Bngfeaji shoemakers. The Queen of Erigfand'an'd'the Prince Consort, it appears, wished that each of their children should learn »ome useful trade or occupation, 'a'iid the Prince of Wales chose shoemaking for his trade, and acquired such a degree of proficiency that boots made by his hands were the pride of his fellow-workmen, as they tCere the envy of his friends at court.

The fd'JE?

never sought to

eor.eaf his' talent, and even today examines with the eye of a connoisseur the shoes-sent him by the furnishers. And that is wny Albert Edward is the best-shod man in England.

is Musical Preference.

Nollekins, the celebrated sculptor, hated classical music and said so. One night Dr. Burney, the English composer, had 9 musicale, at which the famous singers, Piozzi and Signoia Cors. rendered an operatic duo with great skill. In the midst of it Nollekins dropped In, and ln the intervals of silence after the duet announced loudly that he hated that kind of music, having heard much of it in Italy. "Give me good English or Scotch music. I like it better," he added. "Suppose a man were to say to you," replied Dr. Burney, "that he had been to Rome and had seen the Apollo and the Venus de Milo, but that he preferred a barber's block, what would you say?" "I'd call him a fool," replied Nollekins. "That is exactly what Piozzi and think you are," returned the doctor.

Kxchange of Compliments. "I see that you are your own washerwoman," said Mrs. Spitely, who was leading her poodle past the place. "Yes," retorted Mrs. Snaply,"but, thank goodness, I'm not reduced to playing nursegirl for a dog."—Detroit Free Press.

I feel as if I owed my life to your Vegetable Compound. After the birth of my babe I was very miserable. I had a drawing pain in the lower part of my bowels, no strength, and a terrible backache. Every day I failed. My husband said if I would try a bottle of your Vegetable Compound, he would get it for me. The change was wonderful. After I had taken the first half bottle I began to have great faith in it. When I had taken three bottles, I was well and growing stout. It is a pleasure for me to write this to you. I only ask women in any way afflicted with female troubles to try it."—MRS. AXITA ITOB, Pittsford Mills, Rutland Co., Vt.
