?ittM0m JNpartraent. It Didn't Work.-An old colored wreck recently limped into a certain barroom and requested the bar tender to give him a trifle of corn juice. After turning out some three or four fingers he stood a few minutes / before hiding it from sight, as if in deep I thought. Finally he said: / "I've a right smart attack of gripe in my stomach and dont just figure that's going to get along well with it. Do you mind changing it for a bit of gin ?" The bar-tenaer replied that he wasn't in the habit of taking back goods in his line, but anything for business. The old man ! turned out his gin to the extent that a I match would easily float off from the top and fall off on the floor. After drinking he smacked his lips and started on his way. "Hold on, Uncle," says the manipulator of stomach washes, "you didn't pay me * for that gin." "That's all richt." said the old man "I j swapped the whisky for the gin." J "Yes, but you didn't pay me for the I whisky," was the reply. I "Why the debbil should I? I didn't take the whisky." " There was some little chance for litigation, but the old gentleman was induced ' to compromise at 100 cents on the dollar. j A San Antonio darkey was on trial for stealing money from a house on Sole/ dad street. Julian Van Slyck, the attor( ' ney for the prisoner, in his address to the \ jurv, said: "Gentlemen, my client is a poor man. He was driven by hunger and want to take the small sum of money. All that he .wanted was sufficient money to get bread, for it is in evidence that he did not take the pocket-book containing $300 that was in the same bureau drawer. If he was a professional thief, he would have certainly taken the pocket-book." The eloquent attorney for the accused was interrupted by the convulsive sobs of \ his client. \ "Why do you weep?" asked Judge Noo\ man, who was on the bench. \ "Bekase I didn't see dat ar pocket-book l in de bureau drawer," was the reply. \ Everybody laughed except Van Slyck \ the attorney for the defense.

A Strong Argument.?"Ma," remonstrated Bobby, "when I was at grandma's ?h? lot mo have two Dieces of pie." "Well, she ought not to have done so, Bobby," said his mother.

[From the Columbia Register, December 13.] HOW A HERO DIED. As familiar figure as any about the State House is William Rose, the colored messenger at the Governor's office, who has become, through faithful service, a fixture in that position, having served in the same capacity for all the Governors since '76, and indeed for a time in 1863 for Govern-1 or Bonham. As the body-servant of General Maxcy Gregg through all his service in the war up to the time when his gallant career was terminated by death, Rose's relations with the General were naturally of such a characteras to bring to his personal knowledge much concerning the General's life J *-* " ??* /?I*tA?irv?ofunnnc! in tne army anu rut; uuiuuii3iom.w attending his death possessed by no one else. This has long been known to many of the friends of the dead hero who have therefore often found jt entertaining to talk with Rose upon the subject, but his reminiscencesand statements have never so far as knWn been published. Tosrcure and preserve this unwritten chapter of the history of one of South South Carolina's most gallant and devoted sons, a reporter of the Register last night secured from the venerable body-servant his complete recollections of trie matter. He has a retentive memory and speaks positively even as to exact words used in certain cases and the story was carefully taken down as it fell from his lips. He holds the memory of his departed master in the greatest reverence, and at times, as his narrative took him mentally back to the old scenfes and brought up thoughts of the kindness he had received, his voice would choke with emotion and tears of genuine feeling filled his eyes. William Rose's first recollections of Maxcy Gregg go back to when he first knew of him as a student at the South Carolina College, but his first at all intimate connection wi'h him was when, as his servant, and Colonel Gregg then a member of Governor Means' staff, he accompanied him on his various trips with the Governor to the military inspections and encampments of that time. When the war broke out Gregg, being commissioned as Colonel of the FirstSouth Carolina Volunteers, went at once to Charleston, where his command was at once joined by the Richland Volunteers. Rose was with them as a musician and applied for and secured the position of body servant to Colonel Gregg. From that time until death severed the connection, Rose was his devoted follower and attendant, ana nis iaitniuiness was pruperly appreciated. As an illustration of General Gregg's high opinion of his servant the following may be related: Whilst in Camp at Suffolk, Va., General Gregg's tent was robbed. Several officers accused Rose of being the robber and so stated to Gregg, but the General wouldn't believe it; laughed at the accusation. It finally transpired that the robbery had been perpetrated by one of Capt. Shooter's men, in whose possession several of the stolen articles were found. Concerning General Gregg's character and habits as a soldier, his humble but devoted follower pays high tribute, describing him as an officer beloved by all his men, ever mindful of their comfort and interested in their welfare. Rose says he often expected to hear of his General being killed long before he was, for when at Centreville and elsewhere, being on the advanced line, it was his constant custom to leave camp early in the morning alone and be absent sometimes until after dark exploring the country in front and seeking to gain any information that might be of value. Coming to the fatal time, around which naturally the greatest interest must centre, Rose describes the circumstances attendant upon General Gregg's wounding and death as follows: The day was Saturday, and the fighting had been going on since morning. At about half-past ten o'clock Rose went towards a brick house where he was accustomed to get milk. He saw a young man named James Hamilton, ara.ember of the Richland Volunteers, coming out of the battle, wounded in the thigh. He hailed Rose and told him General Gregg had been shot, and he feared was dead by that time. He had helped to carry him from the field. Rose at once reported the news to Major Harry Hammond, Brigade Quartermaster, and then set off on horseback to find his master. Near the brick house already alluded to he found Dr. Powell taking off legs and arms in the open air, and was told by him that General Gregg, badly shot, was inside. Rose found his suffering master in a room on the first floor, lying on a mattress on the floor. "Well, William, I'm shot," he said as his servant entered, and on being told the news of it had reached camp, asked how it got there. Later he ordered all his be teachers?" asked a reporter of a teacher the other day. "Because school teachers are, as a rule, women of sense ; and no woman will give up a $60 position for a $10 man," was the reply. In an adverstisment by an express . company of some uncalled for goods, the 1 letter "1" had dropped from the word lawful, and it read: "People to whom these 1 packages are directed, are requested to come forward and pay the awful charges on the same." "My dear," said a very sick husband, "if I die will you see that my grave is kept green?" "Yes, John," was the sobbing reply. "You know how I would do as much for you," he said. Then the lady dried her tears and the sick man got well. j@"* Counsel (to witness, the father of a family)?"Why are you so certain, Mr. Smith, that the event occurred on such a date? May you not be mistaken?" Witness?"Impossible, sir. It was the day I didn't have to buy any of my children a pair of shoes."?New York tiun. longings brought where he was, which was done, and his gold watch being among them, he then and there gave it to ltose to keep, saying he had intended to make provision for him, but it was then too late. "When you go home to South Carolina," he said, "tell my sisters not to weep nor to mourn at my death, but to look to Almighty God and meet me in heaven." Pie several times repeated as a message, "Tell Colonel Haskell that I love him from the bottom of my heart." He bore his suffering philosophically and most of the time lay on his back with his hands clasped over his eyes, except when some one would come to speak to him. He told Rose that all the surgeons , of the brigade were coming to see him, and called each by name?Drs. Powell, 1 Kilgore, Roberts, Evans and Hugher. They all came in and saw him. General Gregg also said he should die at 9 o'clock that night, but in this he proved mistaken, for he lingered long after that. About midnight he asked if there was anyone in the house who knew where General Stonewall Jackson's headquarters were. A stout gentleman in citizen's dress, who was present, said he did and asked why the question. General Gregg replied that he wanted to see him and accordingly the General was sent for. General Gregg cautioned Rose who was 1 .1 - 1__ I 1 A I .1 1 I /I ? uesiue nis ueu inai n asieep wnen ueneral Jackson arrived he must be awakened, and as it happened when General Jackson did reach the place General Gregg was sleeping. He was awakened by ltose who told him who was there. General Jackson approaching the bed, stretched out his hand and said: "How do you do, General Gregg?" Taking the offered hand General Gregg said: "Is that you, General Jackson ?" "Yes," was the reply, "how are you feeling?" "Feeling as well as a man can feel, shot as I am," was Gregg's response; and then i addressing his superior officer earnestly, j he said, "General Jackson, I sent lor you, knowing that I am compelled to die, with j no anxiety at dying and having no malice j in my heart for any one." To this the great Stonewall rejoined, i "General Gregg, you did exactly as I j should have done myself." In reply to a question from General 1 Gregg as to where he was going, General Jackson said he was looking for provis-; ions for his men. Soon after he left, informing General Gregg that in case he grew worse his Medical Director, Dr. ' Maguire, was left at the house and would I quickly come for him. The two Generals never met in life again, nor was it very long before Death touna tne second as ine nrsr. General Gregg lingered all day Sunday j and through the night, peacefully expiring at last at quarter of 5 o'clock Monday morning, December 18th, 1862. He was fully conscious up to the very 1 last, and continued in conversation on his : conditionwith his physician and as to his dear relatives and some private affairs with his faithful servant, Rose, in whose : arms he finally breathed his last. The circumstances of the solemn obse- , quies which followed are too well known i here, where they occurred, to need extend- < ed mention. The remains, after lying in state at the City Hall, were removed to i the First Presbyterian Church, where Rev. Dr. Howe preached the funeral ora- i tion, and the last act of the tragedy was consummated when, beneath the mould in Elmwood,'the tenement of so noble a soul was laid at rest. Geographies in Error.?There used to be a place called Patagonia. It appears on our Geographies now as "a drear and uninhabitable waste, upon which herds of wild horses and cattle graze, that are hunted for their flesh by a few bands of savage Indians of immense stature." I am quoting from a school book published in 1886, and in common use in this country. The same geography gives similar information about "the Argentine Confederation." It makes the Argentines roar with rage to call their country "the Argentine Confederation." It would be just as polite and proper to call this the "Confederate States of America." A bitter, bloody war was fought to wipe that name off the map, but our publishers still insist upon keepiug it there.? William Eleroy Curtis, in Harper's Magazine. ?

On the opposite 9ide of the well the water is in a constant state of agitation, sizzing and poppingas though it was confined in a hot vessel. The noise can be heard some distance from the well. The water is cold and fine for use. This information is obtained from a gentleman who has recently seen the well, and who says it is a great curiosity. This phenomenon has been going on for some time. ?

This is no doubt the same beast that created so much consternation among the denizens around Walhalla a few weeks ago. A SCIENTIFIC FACT. "Royal" the only Baking Powder Free from Lime and Absolutely Pure. Lime is the serious defect found in most of the cream tartar baking powders. As a matter of fact, chemical analysis has found it in all such'powders except the "Royal." Its presence is caused by the use of adulterated cream of tartar in the effort to reduce their cost of production. Lime adds to the weight, while it detracts from the strength of the baking powder. It also renders the food less wholesome, giving rise to dyspepsia and kindred ailments. Baking powders containing lime produce less leavening gas, and therefore in use are more expensive than a first-class, pure article. The Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar that is specially refined and made chemically pure. No tartrate of lime or other impurity can find its waj' into the "Royal," and to this fact its great superiority in strength, wholesomeness and keeping quality is due. All this adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing the Royal Baking Powder, but as all ingredients are selected and prepared with the same precise care and regardless of labor or expense, an article is produced that is free from every extraneons substance?"absolutely pure." Nor does it contain any ingredients except those necessary to make a pure, wholesome and perlect baking powder. Prof. McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to the United States Department of Agriculture, after analyzing the cream of tartar used by the various baking powders of the market, reported as follows: "I have examined the cream of tartar manufactured for and used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in their baking powder, and find it to be perfectly pure and free from lime in any form." Prof. Love, who made the analyses of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health, as well as for the Government, certifies to the purity and wholcsomeness of the Royal. Dr. E. H. Bartley, chemist of the Brooklyn, New York, Department of Health, says: "I have recently analyzed samples of the Royal Baking Powder purchased by myself in the stores of this city, and find It free from lime in any form." Rread, cake, biscuit, etc., prepared with , Royal Baking Powder, will be lighter, sweeter and more wholesomo than if made with my other baking powder or leavening agent.
