tumorous department. Fooled the Colonel. The colonel, or "Old Daddy," as he was called, had a habit of strolling I round the camps at most unseasonable hours. Sentries had to be continually on the alert, for nothing would have given "Old Daddy" greater satisfaction than to have pounced on some luckless one who might think the midnight hours suitable for a quiet snooze. Paddy Brannigan made that mistake once. There in the quiet moonlight he sat, all unconscious of the colonel's , presence, nis rifle laid against the tent, . himself buried in slumber. Gently the "* Uo nlaoo Rli t rine was iiueu uum no ^mw. ? some good angel awoke Paddy In time to see the colonel making his way to the guard tent. Paddy missed his rifle at once and followed the colonel with the caution of a prairie cat. Outside the guard tent stood the wooden rack which held the rifles of the guard, and into it "Old Daddy" placed Paddy's rifle, himself entering the tent to call the sergeant in charge. This was Paddy's opportunity. He grabbed his rifle and was back at his post in an instant. The colonel brought the sergeant outside and ordered him to count the rifles. "All correct, sir," said the sergeant. "Nothing of the sort. There is an extra rifle there. That I am certain of, for I put it there myself." "Come with me?come with me this instant, and I'll soon let you know what I mean." "I beg your pardon, sir; but the number is quite correct," again replied the somewhat amazed sergeant. The sergeant followed his chief, wondering what was going to happen. "Halt! Who goes there?" rang out clear and sharp in the night air from the now wideawake Paddy. This was more than "Old Daddy" ever dreamed of. For a moment he was paralyzed. Then he marched straight up to Paddy, gazed into his sweetly innocent face, and with a "Well, I'm blowed," turned on his heel and vanished.?Scotsman. , * , tpiphino Respect For Old Dogs.? In a certain skirmish an officer got a ! slight scratch on the leg. The wound ] was a matter of great glory to him, , and he nursed it through after days, , growing lamer with every fear that the J memory of his bravery might pass out . of mind. One day, late in life, as he sat nursing his leg and pondering the glorious ( past, a young man visiting the family ( for the first time approached, and sym- , pathetically remarked: "Lame, colonel?" "Yes, sir," after a pause, and with inexpressible solemnity: "I am lame." j "Been riding, sir?" "No"?with rebuking sterness?"I ] have not been riding." , "A slip down on the pavement?" , "No; sir," with actual ferocity. j "Perhaps, then, you have sprained | your ankle, sir?" , With a painful slowness, the old man lifted his pet leg in both hands, set it carefully down upon the floor, rose < slowly from his chair, and, looking , down upon the unfortunate youth with mingled pity and wrath, burst forth in ] the sublimity of rage: "Go and read the history of your ] country, you confounded young puppy." , ?The Regiment. , , He Got a Pardon.?A bachelor mem- | ber of congress, who is not as hand- i some as Apollo, dropped into Clerk Mc- : Dowell's office the other day to seek 1 sympathy because the lady on whom i he had looked with favor was about 1 to be married to another man, says the j Washington Post. 1 '"That reminds me." said Mr. McDow- I ell.

His illness extended, over a period of ^ line weeks and during that long time n lie bore the affliction with remarkable n, Christian fortitude. He was 49 years c] >f age and leaves surviving his wife, ir four sons and four daughters. He was a] i fine man and a good citizen and t( leighbor.

Heyward's candidacy for the governor- 1 3hip has been received with remarkable a enthusiasm wherever he is known in ^ the state, and well it might be for he is a man of the highest character, of 81 rare educational accomplishments, 0 strong in his convictions of right and ^ with the courage to discharge his duty ^ under all circumstances, while his dews on all public matters are broad ind conservative. He made a most 0 pleasing impression on those of our citizens whom he met. and they feel and say that they are assured that Clinch e' Heyward, the Colleton farmer, who lives on the farm and by the farm, who 31 bas never sought nor held public office, ? would make an admirable chief exec-utive. Mr. Heyward left Rock Hill yes- 81 terday morning for his home in Colleton, where the people are giving him a w most enthusiastic support.

About 11 months ago Mr. [othershed had the misfortune to lose 3th his legs by getting them cut off slow the knees in a railroad accident t Shreveport.

ERRORS OF HISTORY. 'lotion* That For Centorien Have Poned an Fact*. There have been woven Into history lany interesting- stories that time and lvestigatlon have proved myths, but 1 spite of the efforts of the iconoclasts liese mistakes of history still pass curant with many people. Probably one of the most affecting cenes connected with the making of terature is that described In the oft apeated story of the blind poet, Milan, dictating "Paradise Lost" to his aughters. Dr. Johnson, however, has een quoted as denying It. He said, urthermore, that Milton never even ermitted his daughters to learn to aad and write. A favorite "piece" with western and authern schoolboys on recitation and xhibltion days was a set of verses tellig of the heroic stand of Leonldas nd his brave "300" at Thermopylae, 'he Abbe Barthelemy, who asserted hat he had inquired minutely into the ubject, wrote that, according to Dlodrus, Leonidas had 7,000 men under im and that Pausanias gave the numer of Leonidas's army as 12,000. Did Caesar say to the pilot: "Why do you fear? You have Caesar n board." Many trustworthy, historians declare hat Caesar never used the words quotd. The inside of cigar box covers are ometimes ornamented with a picture f the Colossus of Rhodes, with ships i full sail passing between the outtretched legs of the gigantic statue, 'hese pictures reflect the popular and rhat for centuries was the historical lea of the Colossus, which was acounted one of the seven wonders of Jie world. It may be interesting to now that all drawings or tne suuue re purely imaginary and what is lore, are modern, not ancient, efforts, he Colossus was erected in 305 B. C. he most trustworthy of ancient acaunts of it is contained in a manu:ript dating about 150 B. C., in which le height of the statue is given as 105 ?et. The entrance to the harbor of :hodes is 350 feet across, so that it was mnifestly impossible that the legs of ie Colossus should span the entrance > the port or that ships should sail beeath it. As a matter of fact the Colussus was ot built across the harbor, but on an pen space of ground near it: but, for II that, it was a wonderful statue. People whose sympathies are eksily roused, have wept over the wrongs of elisarius, the conqueror of the Vanals, who. many were taught, "begged is bread at the city gates," after havlg commanded victorious armies and een of much service to the state. The ood old general was unquestionably n unfortunate and much abused man, ut there is no proof that he begged his ving at the city gates or elsewhere, et Van Dyke engraved him, and DaId, the great Frenchman, painted him, nd tragedies and romances were writ;n about him in the belief that he did t at the city gates a forlorn and dismsolate object with palms outstretch1 for alms. The facts are, a conspiracy against ie Emperor Justinian being discover1, two of Belisarius' officers confessed nder torture that the old general was i the plot. He was condemned wlthJt further hearing, his property seuestrated, and he suffered JmprisoniPtit fnr slv mnntha His innocence eing established, Belisarius was reased, and he died about a year later, ut that he ever was reduced to the ctremity of begging is declared to be asolutely untrue. The schoolbook tale of William Tell looting an apple from his son's head also without foundation in fact, ell's name doesn't even appear in the ironicles of Zurich, and the most anent writing in which the story is menoned bears date some 200 years after le event it pretends to describe. The ory is a variation of an old Scandi navian saga. A similar bit of "his tory" is related of William of Cloudsle: in England in the 12th century. It is denied also that Empero Charles V of Spain, on his abdicatioi adopted the habit of a monk and oc cupied himself in the manufacture o clocks. It is declared that he neve ceased to be emperor de facto, and h never surrendered control of affairs o state. Coming down to later times, the peo pie of three different countries clalmei three different men as inventors of th steam engine. In America there is i popular belief to this day that Rob ert Fulton built the first successfu steam engine and steam boat. Ii England the Marquis of Worcestet who published an account of i steam engine in 1663, has received cred it for the invention. In France Solo mon de Caus (1615) was regarded as th genius who had given to the world i new motive power. Each of them ma; have conceived and worked out th Mao nf o otoom oncHnp without th slightest knowledge of what had bee: done in that direction before their daj but none of them might rightly la: claim to being the first in the field. On April 17, 1543, Don Blasco de Ga rey launched a boat of 200 tons burde at Barcelona, in the presence of th Emperor Charles V. The boat was pro pelled by steam and made ten miles a hour. She was called L?a Sanctissim Trinidada. The emperor gave to Do Blasco a handsome present, but did no regard the invention as practicable and nothing came of it. From this 1 would seem that Fulton was centurie behind the times.?New York Mail an Express. PRAISED BY A ROBBER. An Old Man'* Courage Wins the Ad miration of a Hold-Cp Man. "I mean business; hand over tha gold or you're a dead man!" Thu spoke a business-like looking strange as he thrust a pistol into the face c E. H. Neville, a money broker at 11 Montgomery street, at 8.30 o'clock yes terday morning. Neville had just re turned from the safe deposit vault and spread out his trays with $600 i gold for the day's exchanges. "If it's shoot, shoot, but you get n gold!" calmly replied Neville, as 1 stood face to face with the man an only the narrow counter between then Then Neville walked slowly down few paces toward the little counts gateway. The man edged along opp< site keeping the pistol presented fu at his victim's face. As Neville read ed to open the gate and come from b< hind the barrier the man looked full ? him and with quivering lip and tremi lous voice said; "I cannot kill a man. He lowered his weapon and turne toward the door. Neville accompanic him, and at the entrance extended h hand. The stranger gripped it warml; and then said: "Don't follow me." "I will not," was Neville's assuranc And the stranger, passed out and dis appeared along the sidewalk in froi of the Occidental hotel. "I could have sfhnmoned the police, exclaimed Neville, after he had bee pressed for an accurate detailed a< count of the affair, "but the man ha every appearance of being a gentls man. He uttered no coarse word whi; in the place. He came and starte talking about tne price of English so^ ereigns, and I supposed he had conr with some to sell. Then he suddenl drew his pistol, a small, nickeled on He was no ordinary criminal. He aj peared to be about 35 years of ag about medium height and wore a plai business suit and a short, dark, rath( curly beard." But this is not the most remarkab: part of the affair. The attempted rot ber wrote a letter expressing his grai itude and thanking Neville for havin prevented him from committing crime. It was with much reluctanc that the money broker, who is 72 yeai old and an active and much younge looking little man, would consent to tti publication of the letter. He declare that it was altogether too laudator of his simple act of resistance, merel the fevered expression of gratitud from a man laboring under strong fee ing, and that he did not purpose t pose as a hero. This is the letter, wrll ten in pencil on plain cheap pape within the hour of the attempted rot bery and posted in the regular way: "City, 9 a. m.?Mr. Neville, BrokerDear Sir: I wish without delay to than you for the magnificent display < physical and moral courage whlc saved to you your money and at th same time saved me from what I no' see would have been a disturbing menory through life had my plans bee successful.
