Memoir ol' Col. Jin mes Williams. Shakcsponro says, "Thc evil that men do, lives after Ihom, the pood is oft interred willi their hones." This is true when we look upon thc weak sido of hitman nature, where the cowardice MI* man circulates tho wrongs of a long lifo made helpless by death, and where no charity dwells to balance accounts between tho gootl and evil of a man's life, rallier forgetting clio good and perpetuating tho evils he has done. On tho other side ol human nature, Ibo judgment passed .upon human conduct ls th" reverse of that indicated above. From this standpoint wo can also truth¬ fully say, a man's evil conduct is buried with his body, but Ilia good deods live after him. The food thai men do is foll after thCj have passed aw ay, serves a an example to tho Inexperienced, and sheds its blessing* upon posterity. Tho civil¬ isation of a country Is written in the works and lives of her great men, and their example is the bul¬ wark of her exi dence and lbw guidance of her distiny. .'Tho lives of groat men all remind us, "We can make our lives sublime." Biography ls a very fruitful, and often lucrative field for the literary writer, and a source of pleasant mental pabulum for tho reader, but beyond these sclflsli^.cnds, tlioro i.- a higher aim in bi »graphy, and re¬ sults more beneficial to country and humanity. Tho lives of groat men should bo written ami handed down to posterity, for in tlu ir live.- there Is much of gratification tc the admirer, nundi ol* inst ruc lien foi the ill-informed, and mindi of ex¬ ample and direction for tho inex¬ perienced. This ls the argument of lifo drawn from Kunian example It teaches what men have done and also what, eden's paribus, Ihej can do. An interesting fact in psyelinl -\ is that there is n dineroaeo ii stocks of poople. Some famililies as far back as memory and erudi¬ tion go, present no individuals ol sterling character, or worlhy ol admiration, lu other families wi > find hero and there in their geneal¬ ogy, individuals of a more worthy character, and lit to bo leaders in thought, enterprise and govern¬ ment!) and that too, where u ri s toe- racy has not lot fall her talismanic influence, nor educ.ilion her polish¬ ing touch. As an example of such families: constituting the more worthy class, I beg leave to mention the \VlL- LÍAM8KS, of South Curolinn, with Col JAMES WILLIAMS standing as v tho heall. Col. JAMES WILLIAMS was a native of danville County, N. C., whence" ho emigrated to South Carolina in 177.1. Ho settled in Laurens County, on Little Uiver, near where some of his descend¬ ants now reside. Merchainli.-.ing and farming const itu tod his busi¬ ness until tin4 war of Independence bridie out. Having early learned tho lesson of liberty in the "Old North State" from which he sprung ho cheerfully responded to the fir. t call of his adopted Slate. Wo know little of his early education, and it Is probnblo ho never enjoyed tho bonoflts of collegiate cotirao, but he must have received such menial training as tho times could well af¬ ford, since ho ably represented tho Spction of country lying between tho Broad and Sabida Rivers, in tho Provincial Congress, which met first in Charleston, on Jan. 1 Ith, 177Ö. In tho ea pacify (if represen¬ tative of his county, and as tho champion of Hie cause of indepen¬ dence, he had to "face fearful odds," und found in public Ufo "leemon worthy of Iiis steel." At this time, nearly half of tho peoples' loading men and representatives were loyal to tho motlier country and opposed tho cause of Independence. Tho line of demarkation between Whig and Tory was sharply drawn. Patriotism in man is but tho In¬ dex of his .'¡elf esteem, of his love for posterity and foi* humanity. In this, Col. WILLIAM« was unsur- Ïnd, and this bi th" characteris- lc of bis natnro which shone out most brightly. This led him to 'leave homo arid family, and lo take up ai nu in their défonce. Ile waa appointed cdonel of militia by Gov, Rutledge, and was supposed fo havo received tho commbidon of brlgndlor-general at a later time, but from the modesty of hi» nature he never asserted claims to his higher title. The two battles ol the revolution in Which he most distinguished himself, were the battles of Musgrove'* Mills arid of King's Mountain. In tho former he displayed no little degree of slratogy, and hud tho forvOs on both sidos boon numerous, it would have boon recorded In tho history of tho was as ono of tho Instances of tho display of tho greatest mili¬ tary genius. Ile falls hack from tho contest In South Carolina to North Carolina. Tho battle of King's Mountain ls about to ho fought, and ho ls called back to his I adopted .State. Tho following linos will show how great a worrior he was: "Old Williams fron- Hillsborough ott nie, To hitit tho s »uth Carolinians Hocked amain." Col. Ferguson, tho British com¬ inan i. r, hud encamped upon King's , Mountain, und wu endeavoring to) unite w illi (Jon. Cornwallis lower down in South Carolina. Col. Wil¬ liams, with the other colonels of tho American cause, in South Caro¬ lina, formed n pinn to cut off Fer¬ guson from tho Royalists in South j Carolina and to prevent him from uniting with Cornwallis. The place of tho rendezvous agrocd upon was I Cowpens. Herc they collected about nine hundred men, and with their ll oe test horses set out in pur- suit of the enemy, and on tho 7th of October, 17NÔ, they were near Ferguson's camp upon King's Mountain. Col. Williams' com¬ mand made repealed and success¬ ful assaults upon Ferguson's strong- It dd. In sealing the mountain step by .step his faithful charger was shot tb rough the mouth, and covered his rider with foam and Mood. In tho storm of bullets, Col. Williams received a fatal shot in tho shoulder und fell nour tho foot of Ferguson, Tho most touch¬ ing scone of the battle is, that while at tho hoad of his mon leading tho I charge, with words of cheer fresh u lon his lips, he fell in the thickest of tho light und was borne from the gory field by his two sons. Daniel and Joseph, then mero lads light¬ ing by his side. Ile lies buried about one milo from King's Moun¬ tain, without a simple stone to mark his last resting place. The last act of his life was a manly struggle for liberty-struggle which has won for him the undy¬ ing famo of an" American hero, ito has soi a glorious example to his country, and handed down to his posterity a name of which they ha ve just cause to be proud. In religion he was a Presbyterian. To liim religion and liberty were inseparable. In tho darkest hours of tho Revolution his religious faith uphold him and supported his zeal, believing; that if God « as' on .Iiis side he had nothing to fear* In his domestic relations he was most happily situated, tito stronest lies of love existed between him and tho différent members of his family, as appears from the affec¬ tionate Udlers written to them du- ring tho war. His love for his wife and children was highly recipro- ; eated, as on one occasion his wife dared to light for him, and two of sons followed him to the .last bat- tlofield. In stature, ho was low and stout, with features coarse-charaotoris- ties somewhat of the men of tho i family to-day. At his death ho left five sons and three daughters: . I)ani.d, Joseph, John, James and ? Washington. Of tho 'ii-, James and Washington oi.i.v lived to bo t the hoads of families.

Memoir ol' Col. Jinmes Williams.
Shakcsponro says, "Thc evil thatmen do, lives after Ihom, the poodis oft interred willi their hones."This is true when we look upon thcweak sido of hitman nature, wherethe cowardice MI* man circulatestho wrongs of a long lifo madehelpless by death, and where nocharity dwells to balance accountsbetween tho gootl and evil of aman's life, rallier forgetting cliogood and perpetuating tho evils hehas done. On tho other side olhuman nature, Ibojudgment passed.upon human conduct ls th" reverseof that indicated above. Fromthis standpoint wo can also truth¬fully say, a man's evil conduct isburied with his body, but Ilia gooddeods live after him. The foodthai men do is foll after thCj havepassed aw ay, serves a an exampleto tho Inexperienced, and sheds itsblessing* upon posterity. Tho civil¬isation of a country Is written inthe works and lives of her greatmen, and their example is the bul¬wark of her exi dence and lbwguidance of her distiny..'Tho lives of groat men all remind
us,"We can make our lives sublime."Biography ls a very fruitful, and
often lucrative field for the literarywriter, and a source of pleasantmental pabulum for tho reader, butbeyond these sclflsli^.cnds, tlioro i.-a higher aim in bi »graphy, and re¬sults more beneficial to country andhumanity. Tho lives of groat menshould bo written ami handeddown to posterity, for in tlu ir live.-there Is much of gratification tcthe admirer, nundi ol* inst ruc lien foithe ill-informed, and mindi of ex¬
ample and direction for tho inex¬perienced. This ls the argumentof lifo drawn from Kunian exampleIt teaches what men have doneand also what, eden's paribus, Ihejcan do.An interesting fact in psyelinl -\
is that there is n dineroaeo iistocks of poople. Some famililiesas far back as memory and erudi¬tion go, present no individuals olsterling character, or worlhy oladmiration, lu other families wi
> find hero and there in their geneal¬ogy, individuals of a more worthycharacter, and lit to bo leaders inthought, enterprise and govern¬ment!) and that too, where u ri s toe-racy has not lot fall her talismanicinfluence, nor educ.ilion her polish¬ing touch.As an example of such families:
constituting the more worthy class,I beg leave to mention the \VlL-LÍAM8KS, of South Curolinn, withCol JAMES WILLIAMS standing as
v tho heall. Col. JAMES WILLIAMSwas a native of danville County,N. C., whence" ho emigrated toSouth Carolina in 177.1. Ho settledin Laurens County, on Little Uiver,near where some of his descend¬ants now reside. Merchainli.-.ingand farming const itutod his busi¬ness until tin4 war of Independencebridie out. Having early learnedtho lesson of liberty in the "OldNorth State" from which he sprungho cheerfully responded to the fir. tcall of his adopted Slate. Woknow little of his early education,and it Is probnblo ho never enjoyedtho bonoflts of collegiate cotirao, buthe must have received such menialtraining as tho times could well af¬ford, since ho ably represented thoSpction of country lying betweentho Broad and Sabida Rivers, intho Provincial Congress, whichmet first in Charleston, on Jan. 1 Ith,177Ö. In tho ea pacify (if represen¬tative of his county, and as thochampion of Hie cause of indepen¬dence, he had to "face fearful odds,"und found in public Ufo "leemonworthy of Iiis steel." At this time,nearly half of tho peoples' loadingmen and representatives were loyalto tho motlier country and opposedtho cause of Independence. Tholine of demarkation between Whigand Tory was sharply drawn.
Patriotism in man is but tho In¬dex of his .'¡elf esteem, of his lovefor posterity and foi* humanity.In this, Col. WILLIAM« was unsur-
Ïnd, and this bi th" characteris-lc of bis natnro which shone outmost brightly. This led him to'leave homo arid family, and lotake up ai nu in their défonce. Ilewaa appointed cdonel of militia byGov, Rutledge, and was supposedfo havo received tho commbidon of
brlgndlor-general at a later time,but from the modesty of hi» naturehe never asserted claims to hishigher title. The two battles olthe revolution in Which he mostdistinguished himself, were thebattles of Musgrove'* Mills arid ofKing's Mountain. In tho formerhe displayed no little degree ofslratogy, and hud tho forvOs onboth sidos boon numerous, it wouldhave boon recorded In tho historyof tho was as ono of tho Instancesof tho display of tho greatest mili¬tary genius. Ile falls hack fromtho contest In South Carolina toNorth Carolina. Tho battle ofKing's Mountain ls about to hofought, and ho ls called back to his Iadopted .State. Tho following linoswill show how great a worrior hewas:
"Old Williams fron- Hillsboroughottnie,
To hitit tho s »uth CaroliniansHocked amain."
Col. Ferguson, tho British com¬inan i. r, hud encamped upon King's ,
Mountain, und wu endeavoring to)unite w illi (Jon. Cornwallis lowerdown in South Carolina. Col. Wil¬liams, with the other colonels oftho American cause, in South Caro¬lina, formed n pinn to cut off Fer¬guson from tho Royalists in South jCarolina and to prevent him fromuniting with Cornwallis. The placeof tho rendezvous agrocd upon was
I Cowpens. Herc they collectedabout nine hundred men, and withtheir lloetest horses set out in pur-suit of the enemy, and on tho 7thof October, 17NÔ, they were nearFerguson's camp upon King'sMountain. Col. Williams' com¬mand made repealed and success¬ful assaults upon Ferguson's strong-It dd. In sealing the mountainstep by .step his faithful chargerwas shot tbrough the mouth, andcovered his rider with foam andMood. In tho storm of bullets,Col. Williams received a fatal shotin tho shoulder und fell nour thofoot of Ferguson, Tho most touch¬ing scone of the battle is, that whileat tho hoad of his mon leading thoI charge, with words of cheer freshu lon his lips, he fell in the thickestof tho light und was borne from thegory field by his two sons. Danieland Joseph, then mero lads light¬ing by his side. Ile lies buriedabout one milo from King's Moun¬tain, without a simple stone tomark his last resting place. Thelast act of his life was a manlystruggle for liberty-strugglewhich has won for him the undy¬ing famo of an" American hero,ito has soi a glorious example tohis country, and handed down tohis posterity a name of which theyha ve just cause to be proud.
In religion he was a Presbyterian.To liim religion and liberty wereinseparable. In tho darkest hoursof tho Revolution his religious faithuphold him and supported his zeal,believing; that if God « as' on .Iiisside he had nothing to fear*
In his domestic relations he wasmost happily situated, tito stronestlies of love existed between himand tho différent members of hisfamily, as appears from the affec¬tionate Udlers written to them du-ring tho war. His love for his wifeand children was highly recipro-
; eated, as on one occasion his wifedared to light for him, and two ofsons followed him to the .last bat-tlofield.
In stature, ho was low and stout,with features coarse-charaotoris-ties somewhat of the men of tho
i family to-day. At his death holeft five sons and three daughters:
. I)ani.d, Joseph, John, James and? Washington. Of tho 'ii-, Jamesand Washington oi.i.v lived to bo

Lard may be made perfectlysweet by boiling n pared potato init.
For poison oak, bathe in creamand gunpowder twice a day tili! cured.Wash the hair in cold sage tea;it will heep tho hair from fallingout.When food is to bo fried have
tho pan very hot before Cue fat lsput in and have the fat hot beforebeginning to fry. Then tho mini¬mum amount of fat will bc ab¬sorbed.
Salt sprinkled on any substanceburning on the stove will stop thesmoke und smell. Salt thrown Up-¡ on coals blazing from tho fat ofbroiled chops or liam will cause thcblaze to subside.Rut all the nieces of bread that
are left each day in a pan and dr;-them in n moderate oven. Theymay bo beaten fine in a mortar andp. ! way in jars for breading orpudding. They are useful for sift¬ing over greased cake pans to pre¬vent the cake from adhering.
If you wish to prevent tho un¬pleasant oder that arises from boll¬ing cabbage, tic up a ploco of stabbread in a muslin clot'u and boilwith the cabbage. A piece of stalebread on the end of a knife withwhich you are cutting onions, willprevent the juice from affecting theeyes unpleasantly.-To-morrow may never come

-Prof. D. C. Eaton, of Yale Col-ego, in a paper on "Apples," rea<l.econtly before the Scientific Soci¬ety of Bridgeport, says: "Thoïrst positive scientific demonstra¬ron of apple trees was lu the dls-dosuro , made throgh a condition>f the water, that apple tree trunkformed part of tho foundations; ofthe habitations of tile lake dwell¬ers of Switzerland. This period,asiiuarly as could be Judged, wasTrom 1,200 to 2,000 yours beforeChrist. That the apple with whichhive was tempted in tho Garden ofEdon, according to the Scripture,i-i the apple of to-day ls uncertain,inasmuch aa tho world ancientlyapplied to tho apple included theintinco and pear. Consequently !lávo might have been templed byeither of these hitter fruits. Thepressât apple was due to the eulti-on and development of the crab«apple,and tho peculiarity ol the ap¬pin ttl its evolution is that tho partnow valuable was simply tho calix,t 'nicki nod und become fleshy, whichh id formed around tho origin..1fruit or seeds. There are now about'.»ut» varieties of apples, classifiedunder not less than 8,000 names,"
-The calculating machino in¬vented by Professor Thompson,excels, tn its ingenuous adaptationto a variety of results, even Bab¬bage's Wondorful apparatus. Bymeans of tho mer«' friction of adisk, a cylinder and a ball, the ma¬chine is capable of effecting nume¬rous complicated calculationswhich occur in tho highest applica¬tion of mathematics to physicalproblems, and by its aid an un¬skilled person may, in a given time,perform tho work of ten expertmathematicians. The machine laapplicable alike to the calculatingof tidal, magnetic, meteorologicaland oilier periodic phenomena; itwill solve differential equations oftho second or even higher orders,and through this sume wondorfularrangement of mechanical partstho problem of finding tho free mo¬tions! of any number of mutuallyattracting particles, unrestricted byany of the approximate supposi¬tions required In the treatment oftho lunar nnû nlnnatory theories,is done by simply turning a handle.
-By eating fast the stomach,like a bottle being filed through afunnel, ls full and overflowingbefore we know it. But the mostimportant roason is tho food isSwallowed before time bus boen al«lowed to divide it in sufficientlysmall pieces with tho teeth;for,like leo In a tumbler of water, thosmaller the bits are, the soonerthey are dissolved. It has beenseen with the naked oyo, that ifsolid tood is cut In pieces small us ahalf poa lt dlgosts almost as soon,without being chowed at all, as ifit hail been well masticated.
