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

Omaha Saintr-Don't like him at all.
He is not cut out for a preacher; he ought
to have been a business man.
"That a fault, is it ?
"Yes, sir; he has entirely too much
business ability. Last Sunday he preached
a roaring sermon on hypocrites, and at
the close invited all hypocrites in the congregation
to stand up. Of course no one
arose."
"I suppose not; but what of that ?"
"Why then he followed his advantage
by passing the contribution box."
A Strong Argument.?"Ma," remonstrated
Bobby, "when I was at grandma's

"Well, she ought not to have done so,
Bobby," said his mother. "I think two
pieces of pie are too much for little boys.
The older you grow, Bobby, the more wisdom
you will gain."
Bobby was silenced, but only for a moment.

[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.
? There is a curious well of water at the
Kelly place, near Mr. Tyler Gaskin's, in

twenty feet deep, and the water on one side
of it is all the time bubbling up like water
when it is boiling. 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.
? The special committee of the Legislature,
appointed to investigate the books
of the State treasurer, consisting of Senator
Edwards, and Representatives Ansel
of Greenville, and Wilson, of Sumter,
submitted their report on Saturday. They
report a cash balance in the treasury of
$104,385.05, which is deposited in various
banks of the State.

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.
A BAB NASAL ORGAN." j
Fur over four years I have been a great sufferer
from a terrible form of Nasal Catarrh. I was greatly
annoyed with a constant roaring In iny head and iny

The discharge from my nose was profuse ami very I
offensive, ami my general health impaired. 1 tried :
most all prominent physicians, but they did not cure
me, and I used various advertised preparations without
benefit.
one day I chanced to read a remarkable article
written l?y a prominent eiitzen of Athens, Georgia,
stating that he had been permanently cured by the
use oi eight bottles of 1$. It. It.?Botanic Blood Italm.
Being skeptical on the subject, I wrote to him on the
subject and received a most encouraging answer to i
the effect that lie had been cured long enough to lie
thoroughly satisfied that no return of the disease
would ensue. '
I then sent to the drug store of T. E. Smith & Bro.,
and purchased B. B. B., and to my utter astonish- ]
inent and satisfaction the use of ten bottles tins re- (
stored my general health, stopped the roaring sensation,
entirely healed and cured the nasal catarrh and
1 am proud to recommend a blood remedy with such
powerful curative properties.
I shall continue its use a little longer and feel confident
that I will be entirely cured of one of the most
obstinate cases of nasal catarrh in the eouniiy.
The business men of our town know of my case. 1
