tumorous department. WOULDN'T FIND ANY. A few weeks ago, a jockey, a native ' of Erin's Isle, was called as a witness in a trial, and the opposing counsel < was doing all be could to invalidate ( bis testimony. "What are you ?" he began in a , bullying tone. "Sure, I'm a jockey, same as my father was before me," was the reply. . "Ah !" said the lawver. thrusting bis . hands into his pockets and preparing to enjoy himself hugely with this witness, "and I suppose your father did a J little cheating in bis time, like the rest ' of the fraternity?" "Troth, and I s'pose he did, now and ' thin," was the reply. "And where do you suppose he is now?" I "In Heaven, I hope?rest his sowl." "And what should such fellows as jockeys do there, I should like to i know," inquired the lawyer, in a voice of thunder. Paddy scratched his head. Then, j with a sly grin, he replied : "Train horses for the angels, perhaps." "And cheat them as they did their fellow mortals?" "Maybe so," replied the jockey, still unabashed. "Ah! they would be prosecuted then !" exclaimed the lawyer triumphantly. "Sorra a bit," answered the witness. "And why ?" "Because thev mieht search Heaven over aDd over again, and a devil of a lawyer would they find there !" A shout of laughter bailed this retort, which the court could not suppress. "You can step down, fellow," said i the lawyer, growing as red as a peony; and it was noticed that during the remainder of the case that bis crossexamination was not scarcely so keen as usual. A Smabt Young Trader.?There was once a worthy Presbyterian minister, who, while sitting in bis study, was interrupted by a small boy who had by some way or other gained admission, to sell the good man some young pups. "I don't want any dogs, my boy," said the divine. "But they are Presbyterian pups," persisted the youngster. The old gentleman, however, would not have them and the disappointed boy withdrew. Some days afterward while visiting a friend who was a Universalist, the minister was astonished to see the same boy come in and offer to sell bis friend some pups. "Good Universalist pups," said the chap. This was too much for the Dominie, who said to the boy: "Are you not the same boy that tried to sell me these pups the other day ?" "Yes sir." "And did you not tell me then that they were Presbyterian pups?" "Yes sir." "Then how can they be Universalist pups, now ?" "Because they have had their eyes opened since then," said the little chap. It is needless to add that he sold the pups. It Didn't "Take."?During a recent discussion on the subject of vaccination, when its supporters and opponents had fairly exhausted their arguments, one of the company who had not hitherto spoken, volunteered his opinion, that, far from being a benefit J to the human race, the precaution was both dangerous and unnecessary. "I will give you proof," be said. J "The son of a friend of mine, as healthy a little fellow as you would wish to see, was vaccinated by the advice of 1 an idiotic medical man who attended the family, and what was the consequence? He died two days after the ! operation." Here the speaker paused for a mo- 1 ment, evidently gratified by the impression he bad made on his hearers. | "Yes, gentlemen," he continued, "the poor lad, who was as active as a j squirrel, was in the act of climbing a tree, when, a branch giving way, he j Inst, his hold and was killed bv the 1 fall. Don't talk to me of vaccination after that." Particular About Butter.?Little Boy?Mom wants two pounds o' butter exactly like wot you sent us last. If tain't exactly like it she won't take it. Grocer (to numerous customers)? Some people in my business don't like very particular customers; but I do. It's my delight to serve them and get them exactly what they want. I will attend to you in a moment, little boy. Little Boy?Be sure to get the same kind. A lot of pap's relations is visitin' at our house, and' mom wants to drive 'em away. I?" Bangs?I saw in this morning's paper an item to the effect that you had been granted a pension. Fraudleigh ?So I have. "That's strange. I didn't know that you were in the army at all." "Oh, yes, I was assistant sutler at Fort Marshall." "But you did not incur injury in that service did you ?" "Of course I did. You see I was opening oysters one day for the colonel, and I was wounded by a shell." t8F An Irishman, having been arraigned and convicted upon full and 11 n TTl icf pL'oKla ovl^nnno nf cjAmo f 1 o rr rant misdemeanor, being asked by the 1 judge if he had anything to say for 1 himself, replied with the usual characteristic humor of his country, "Never a single word, yer honor ! And it's my real opinion there's been a great deal too much said as it is."?New York Tribune. S@T In a battle our army was, at one point, closely pressed by the enemy, and as the general was riding about encouraging the men, espied an Irishman running away. "Surely, Pat, you're never running away from the enemy?" Pat replied, "Faith, gineral, they tell me the world's is round, so I'm running round the world to attack the enemy in the rear!"?New York Sun. SWajjisidt (gatherings.

CHEROKEE?The Gaflaey Ledger, March 24 : Traffic Manager Emeraou, of the S. C. & Ga. railroad, came into the city Tuesday on his special car, and spent the day looking over the ground for the new road. Dr. W. Anderson, of Blacksburg, spent some lime in the city Wednesday. The county pension board has been in session this week, and finished its work Wednesday. We learn that the num berof pensioners bas been considerably increased. At the request of many of the members, the pastor of the First Baptist church has arranged for a series of Gospel meetings to begin on the second Sunday in April. A young Negro man stole a pair of shoes from W. 0. Lipscomb & Brother yesterday. He was detected, captured and promptly tried bjT Magistrate Phillips, who gave him 10 days. The county chaingang was moved to the east side of Broad river Thursday. There are 10 men on the force and if the weather continues good they will make some good roads in Cherokee township in a short time. Squire Henry G. Gaffney, now in his 85th year, drove into the city from his surburban home a few days ago. Squire Gaffuey was born iu the present limits of the city and has lived here all his life. He is in good health, takes interest in his church and public affairs and his friends wish for him many more years of health and happiness. Wednesday night, Mr. Thomson Clary's store, some six miles above the city, was broken into and robbed. Mr. Clary and his neighbors were soon on the lookout yesterday morning, and before a great while ran up on a Negro man named Hamlet Littlejohn, with the goods in his possession. He was brought to the city and committed to jail by Magistrate Phillips, to be tried at the May term of the court of general sessions. A young white man from North Carolina was arrested here Tuesday by the city police for selling ' whisky, and while he was endeavoring to give bond he suddenly made a rush and escaped. Chief Camp put the bloodhounds on his track and ran him a few miles, when the fugitive got on a wagon and thus eluded the dogs. The chief, however, had his course and ?? .?nA fnocrnotoH Kim aKniiI IUI1UWCU UU auu iVHiivgwu mvwm. four miles above the city, brought him back aud committed him to jail. Wedaesday morniDg he was brought before Mayor Littlejohn for trial, and from the evidence brought out it was apparent that the young man was not only guilty of the specific case for which he was being tried ; but that he had for sometime been doing a considerable wbisky business in Gaflney. His method seems to have been to bring it to the city in kegs, and then measure it out to his customers. He was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $100, or to serve 30 days at hard labor on the county chaingaog. LANCASTER?The Ledger, March 25: Mrs. W. D. Lemmond is visiting her daughter, Mrs. P. G. McCorkle, at Rock Hill. On the night of 30th of December last, the stable of Mr. R. J. Flynn, of Newcut was destroyed by incendiary fire. The next day Jas. Blackmon Was lodged in jail charged with the Uurniug?his shoes fittiug in the tracks made by the supposed incendiary, a patch on the sole of one shoe showing plainly in the track made by that shoe. Later the governor offered a reward of $150 for the capture and conviction of the incendiary of Mr. Flynn's stable. Blackmon was tried and convicted at the recent term of court. The State, last Wednesday, says Blackmon was run down by a committee of which Mr. W. G. A. Porter was leader, and Governor Ellerbe will pay a reward of $150 to the captors of Blackmon. Our citizens were deeply interested in the trial of our townsman, J. T. Green, Esq., in Chester, this week, on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences. The case grew out of his compromising claims against a gentleman in Chester county placed in bis hands for collection, being authorized by his client to do so. The prosecutor was the party against whom the claims were held. The case terminated Wednesday in a verdict of acquittal. We are told by a gentleman of the Lancaster bar, who was present and heard the testimony for the state, that there was really no evidence to sustain the charge and that the judge would have been warranted in directing a verdict of acquittal, but that Mr. Green perferred vindication by the jury. GASTON?Gastonia Gazette, March 23: At the home of her brother, Mr. J. R. Warren, on Main street, Mrs. E. J. Stewart departed this life last Friday morning.

PENITENTIARY INVESTIGATION. New Developments That Are Decidedly Interesting. The penitentiary investigating com- j mittee continued its labors on last i Thursday, Friday and Saturday and adjourned to meet again at the stute 1 ^ ? ?? T 1 ft ?-x lino will 4 IfcULLI uu JUUC wucu a ucyt iiuo v*ii? i be taken up. The following conden- j sation of the proceedings is from the , Greenville News of Friday and Saturday : The investigation Thursday developed the fact that there was a regular governor's mansion account run by Tillman, Evans and Ellerbe. The accounts seem to be for coal, wood, cow and horse food and provisions generally, including molasses and such things, ov.ught by Tillman and others. Tillman's account has been partially settled ; but there is a balance against him, outside of the brick account, of $57.06. No bills seem to have been i sent to him, and the money has not been collected on the account reported to be due the farm or the penitentiary. This, as all other mansion accounts, 1 was kept in the commissary book. Governor Evans's account, still due, is $181.14. This was never reported as an asset of the penitentiary, Neal saying that he would attend to it. Governor Ellerbe's commissary account still due is $216.56. Of this amount, $117.92 is due for oats which he expected to trade out for a horse. Governor Ellerbe has been paying on bis account. Colonel Neal's commissary account shows that he owes $553.92. None of these items, aggregating $1,000, have been reported to the board as assets except the Ellerbe oats. Manager Cooley, of the Read plantation, testified Thursday that he bad sent Colonel Neal athisEasley planta* ' nA AAA ?f aaa/1 fnr LlOO ZUjUUU [JUUUU9 Ui UUbbVU o?vu IVI which no bill was made nor did he report the shipment for payment. Among the pigs giveu away by him was a pair to Director Garris. Mr. Garris says that about three weeks ago he tried to pay for the pigs ; but no one seems to have known what they were worth. The evidence Thursday showed that in addition to what free furniture has already been accounted for, that a number of large pieces were sent to Tillman, a bookcase to Representative A. C. Latimer and two wardrobes to Dan Tompkins. No charges have ever been made f<?r these articles of furniture. Frank Weston testified that he bought and paid for four tons of soft coal at $4 per ton. Manager Cooley, of the Read farm, testified that he swapped a cow with his son-in-law, and that the cow which the farm got died before his son-in-law took his swapped cow away ; but the swap was made before the cow died. He treated a horse for Miss Ellerbe, charged and collected $13 for bis personal services; but never rendered a bill for the feed, which has not been paid. . Captain Westfield testified that Tillman, Evans and Ellerbe all ran small farms near Columbia, on which they made their cow, horse and other stock feed ; that these small gubernatorial farms were worked by convict labor and ploughed by penitentiary mules, and that no charges have been made, or, expected, for the labor or ploughing. Tillman rented about a two-aere plat from Newman, and Ellerbe'sfarm seems to have been from 15 to 20 acres. One of Ellerbe's credits is 8,000 pounds of peavines sold at $8.50 a thousand, and the peavines made on the farm which was worked by free convict labor. Two hundred and twenty dollars has been paid by the penitentiary for a granite curbing for tbe mansion, which has never been taken from the quarry where made. The penitentiary has paid the bill in labor, but has never been remunerated. The penitentiary paid other bills for which it has not yet been recompensed. Sergeant Adams, who has been at the penitentiary for 20 years, was examined on Friday. He said that free wood, coal, vegetables and milk for the superintendent was the custom started tbe latter part of Colonel Lipscomb's term, and continued since. Tbe gubernatorial farms, with free convict larlni?inrr TN llmun'a t PT* m uui , siaucu uuiiug iinuiUU w Witness thought that the prisoners were well treated, except when Allen was captain of the guard. Officers found it necessary to hang prisoners by the thumbs for discipline. They were sometimes allowed to hang from two to five minutes. He gave considerable testimony about the extent of the free entertainment and said that there were as many as 15 or 20 visitors entertaiued a day at the penitentiary. State constubles who were on duty here frequently were guests at the penitentiary. Guard Lykes said that he worked a gang of fifteen or twenty convicts spreading guano on the Ellerbe plantation, which he said was 15 or 20 acres. Chairman Cunningham devoted much time to explaining the improvements made since he has been chairman of the board, and said that the state farms were uow worth $125,000 aud bad been entirely paid for out of the earnings. Contracts for convicts were shown not to comply with the statute. The contract provides for the forfeiture of $50 for each couvict who escapes.

Do not let other agents try to talk you into "CHEAP" instrument, because they are willing to swear it is the best on earth. Get their prices, catalogues, etc., and come to me. I can tell you exactly wnai mey are onering you, ana 1 wm give you a better bargain, in PRICE, QUALITY, TONE, POWER and GUARANTEE. I can have my warrant endorsed by some of the best citizens of this section. PIANO TUNING. Mr. JOSEPH LEISCH, of Columbia, S. C., expects to be here soon, for a few days only. If you want reliable work at reasonable prices, see me at once and leave your orders. It is an injury to a piano to let "Just anybody" work at it. GEO. T. SCHORB, Yorkville, S. C.
