tumorous department. On t.hb Rolung Billows.?While strolling one afternoon on the deck of the steamship that was bringing him back to this country from his trip to Europe, Bishop Potter observed a couple of particularly seasick Individuals. The woman was reclining in a big steamer chair, and exhibited all the signs of that utter despair and indifference to life common to the unfortunate person suffering from seasickness. At her feet crouched a man. apparently Just as ill as the lady herself. His head was in the woman's lap. The unhappy couple presented such a woebegone appearance that the good bishod was deeply touched by their mel ancholy condition, so he went to them, and addressing the lady, inquired whether he could render her any assistance. The lady shook her head sadly, murmuring, "No, thank you." "I am very sorry." added the bishop. Then, after a moment's pause, he asked, "Then perhaps I can be of service to your husband here." The wretched woman, without so much as moving her head, gave an indifferent glance in the direction of the man whose head was in her lap, and in a tone that betrayed not the least Interest in her unfortunate colleague in misery, she replied, faintly, "He isn't my husband. I?I don't know who?who he Is."?Woman's Home Companion. He Would Wait.?a pig belonging to a widow named Murphy mysteriously vanished one night, and Pat Hennessy, a ne'er-do-well, was suspected of having had something to do with its disappearance. He denied all knowledge of the pig, however, and as there was no evidence against him he was allowed to go free; but at Mrs. Murphy's instigation, the priest went to see him. "Pat," said the priest, "if you've no fear of the law in this world, at least give a thought to the hereafter. When you're before the judgment seat, what are you going to say about that pig?" "Shure, I dunno," replied Pat. "Will they be after askin' about th' pig in purgatory, yer riverince?" "They will," said the priest. "Will Mrs. Murphy be there, yer riverince?" "Yes, Pat" "An' th' pig?" "Yes, Pat" "Shu re, 1*11 wait an* give It to her thin, yer riverince." Vbrt Caen-?William Waldorf Astor spoke recently before the London Cabmen's Benevolent society, an organization in which he takes a deep interest. Mr. Astor's subject was "Kindness," and at one point he said, "Kindness is a virtue that stands out brightest by contrast with some signal piece of cruelty. I'll tell you of a piece of cruelty that was practised, my gardener informs me, on a certain costermonger: "This costermonger lay dying. As he neared his end his wife said to him, Don't you think you could eat a bit of something John?' " 'I might,' the man answered. " *Qood,' she said. 'Now, what can I get for you?' " 'Well,' said the costermonger, 'I seem to smell a ham a-cookin' somewhere. I think I could eat a bit o' inai." . " 'Oh, no, John dear,' said the wife, *you can't have that. That's for the funeral.'" Had Charged Before.?The battle was over, and the moonlight lay like a silvery pall upon the battle-field. The soldier whose, gallant charge at the head of a mere handful of men had turned defeat into a glorious victory stood in the presence of the great Napoleon, who, forgetting his wonted reserve. commended In glowing words the deed of the brave cavalryman. "It was a desperate charge, a gallant charge!" he cried, ardently. "But for your valor the lilies of France this eve would lie in the dust. But tell me," he continued, fixing his piercing eye upon the soldier, "had you no thought of fear as you charged so madly?"* The soldier modestly bent his head. "Sire," he replied, humbly, "I am deeply honored by your commendation. No fear was in my heart at the time, for it was not the first fearless charge of my life. Before I took up arms for la belle France, sire, I was a plumber." He Didn't L<ook It.?Seven-year-old Johnny had cheeks like red apples; he weighed eighty pounds, and looked the picture of robust health. One day, however, he was suffering from an ulcerated tooth, which affliction, instead of detracting from, rather added to, his robust appearance. The constant chug-chugging of a steam roadroller at work Just outside his window increased his misery. Suddenly a bright thought seized him. Slipping from the couch, he ran outdoors. "Say, mister," said he, as the heavy engine came to a standstill at the nearest corner, "would you mind rolling 9UIMC uiuei sueei 11119 Mieiuuuii; There's somebody awfully sick at our house, and the noise disturbs him." "We could stay at the other end of the block," replied the man, eyeing Johnny reflectively. "But who's the invalid?" "I am," said Johnny. Too Late to Change.?"I hear you have a little sister at your house," said a Chicago grocer to a small boy. "Yes, sir," said Johnny. "Do you like that?" was queried. "I wish it was a boy," said Johnny, "so I could play marbles with him, an' baseball." "We'll," said the storekeeper, "why don't you exchange your little sister for a boy?" Johnny reflected for a minute, then he said rather sorrowfully: "We can't now. It's too late. We've used her four days." The Difference.?"Far as I can learn," said the Pruntytown philosopher, with his usual raspishness. "the only difference?excepting, of course, in the size of their bills?between the fashionable city physician, with several mysterious initials after his name, and the plain, everyday village doctor, who is commonly called 'Doc,' and swaps horses on the side, is that the former diagnoses your malady and the latter simply tells you what's the matter?that is, you s'pose they do."

ROBER e From the Vorkville Enquirer of 1876 e INSTALLMENT XXV. Battle of Muegrove'a Mill. Soon after the battle of Cedar " Spring, a junction was formed by. Col. ' Bratton of York: Col. Williams of 1 Laurens: Col. Shelby of Tennessee; 8 (then North Carolina or Virginia), Col. ' Clarke of Georgia, together with Hammond, McCall and Llddle of the Nine' ty-Six brigade. Each of these officers e had a few men who followed him and 8 voluntarily regarded him as their com8 mander. Shelby and Clarke had the ^ largest force and each of them had 8 only about one hundred men. The " force under Williams was the next I largest and the commands of Hamk mond. Bratton, McCall and Liddle con' sisted of a few of their neighbors, who 8 were banded together for the purpose of offense and defense. Clarke was evidently the leading spirit. Not that he " was the best officer or bravest man; v but since the fall of Georgia, he and the men in his command had suffered 8 greatly and were thirsting for venge8 ance. Col. Clarke's house was first " plundered and then burned, and his r family ordered to leave the state. II Many of his men had shared a similar r fate. The cruel treatment which they 3 had received at the hands of the vic1 torious foe, had goaded them to desperation. Clarke was burning with 1 rage and he longed for an opportunity to chastise the enemies of his country. 0 He was constantly on the lookout for ' small parties of British and Tories. f The junction of these troops from 1 regions far distant from each other, k was formed near the headwaters of ' Broad river In Cleveland county, North Carolina. Gen. McDowell, with a 1 small force, was encamped on Broad J river, near the Cherokee ford. Mcv Dowell was the highest officer In com3 mand in that region of country and his 3 camp was by common consent, regard3 ed as a place of general rendezvous. ' Prudence dictated to McDowell to ? move his camp as frequently as possible. His safety and the safety of 8 the region, demanded this. 3 The American forces having been 1 successful in the enterprises against the Tories under Patrick Moore, hndi 8 the British and Tories under Dunlap 1 at Cedar Springs, determined to con3 tinue what had been so favorably be1 gun. Their intention of making another raid Into the country then occupied by the enemy, was communicated B to General McDowell, then in camp e near Smith's ford, on Broad river. This officer approved of the plan and prom- j ised co-operation. In order that the movements of the - enemy might be ascertained, two indl * viduals were sent out to make a tour r of observation through the territory e now embraced by the counties of South 1 Carolina, west of Broad river and north > of Hamburg. These individuals soon ? discovered that a party of two hundred s Tories were encamped on the Enoree ' river, at Musgrove's mills. It was de termined to set out as soon as possi ble and attack them. Gen. McDowell - was consulted and gave his hearty ap* proval of the projected movement. Musgrove's mills are in the northit east corner of Laurens county on the - Enoree river. These mills have since e 1780 passed through several hands and e been known by various names. At i present they are known as Yarbor ough's mills. 1 The Tories were encamped on the - south side of the Enoree. Opposite t them was a rocky ford and regarded as S very bad. This gave the Tories ground ' to conclude that they could not be * approached by an enemy from the * ?- - 1 /-v_ *1 1f<lk A , 1 * mountain rf^iun. v/ii inc 10111 ui .rvuY gust, the day that Gates was defeated y near Camden, the partisan leaders of ! the Americans were informed of the ! Tory encampment. On the afternoon e of the 18th, they set out and a short 3 time before night crossed Broad river e at Smith's ford. Here they halted, fed 6 their horses and refreshed themselves. A On the night of the 16th, Col. Brati> ton with the troops under his Imme8 dlate command, set out to visit his - own neighborhood, intending to Join r. the party before they would reach the k Tnrv onmn. Rlther hecauae he found e something to do in the vicinity of his e own home or which Is more probable ?' because the troops under Clarke, Shel by and Williams marched directly on - to Musgrove's mills, Bratton did not - rejoin them until the battle was over. About sun down Shelby, Clarke and s Williams with their respective coms mands, set out for the Tories on the - Enoree. The distance was about forty e miles. Gen. McDowell accompanied s them for a short distance and then 11 returned to his camp near Smith's e ford. e Between the camp of McDowell and - the Tory camp on the Enoree, Fergu son with his whole force had stationed s himself. It was absolutely necessary > for these partisan leaders to keep clear e of Ferguson. t At sun down, on the evening of the - 18th of August, 1780, a day made memd orable by the surprise of the brave Sumter at Fishing creek, the detachment of about six hundred horsemen ' set out through the woods to make a t mornh r?f fnpfv milpu In thp nlffht In t order to evade Ferguson they took a road which led them by the Briton's h camp in safety. The party had good t guides by whose assistance they - reached the neighborhood of Musgrove's mills just at dawn of day. S The party had hoped to be able to - surprise the Tories but on approachs ing the neighborhood of the camp, they i* were met by a strong patrol force of s the enemy. A skirmish of short duras ticn took place, when the enemy ren treated across the river. Whilst the d skirmishing was going on a Whig from f the neighborhood, came to Col. Shelby e and informed him that the Tories had r been strongly reinforced on the previous evening. The reinforcement consisted of six hundred regular troops, f and the Queen's American regiment n from New York, commanded by Col. y _ Innis. The whole was designed as a J reinforcement for Col. Ferguson. The force, amounting to about one thousand e men was under the command of Col. o . Innis and Major Frazer. The Whig leaders held a hasty cone sulfation and concluded that they would a tight, notwithstanding the apparent f disadvantage under which they were 3 placed- It was agreed by Cols. Willi liams, Shelby and Clarke that they should share the command equally. Ml HI HEREMUTHHI y Was Kept Alive By an ible People. T LATHAN, D. D. | These things being agreed upon, the ilCAl iilllig noo iu cpai o iui cavuiuis* On a small creek, which rises In Spartanburg county and empties Into Enoree river, la Union county, a short distance below the Spartanburg line, Shelby, Williams and Clarke drew up their men in a semi-circle. Col. Shelby commanded the right; Col. Williams the centre; and Col. Clarke the left. The place chosen for the action was a wood and served the double purpose of both concealing and protecting the men. The men were dismounted and the horses sent to the rear. The troops were ordered to form a breastwork of logs and brush. They were tired and hungry and in good condition to make a stand. After men have been marched for a day and night on short rations, they will fight hard. They come to the conclusion that the place they are in is as good as any other and rather than be driven from it, they will die. Such was the condition of the American forces that met Colonel Innis at Musgrove's mills. They had ridden al night on a short supper and had no breakfast Hunger and fatigue aroused their patriotism. Captain Inman of Georgia with sixteen men, was sent forward to draw Col. Innis in to the ambuscade. Inman advanced upon the main body of the British and Tories and commenced to fire. The British in turn advanced and Inman fell back into the midst of his concealed friends. The enemy advanced in three columns; the regulars in the centre and the militia on the wings. With trailed arms and deployed columns the whole force of the enemy pursued Capt. Inman until they arrived within forty yards of the Ameriicans concealed behind their temporary breastworks. The signal to fire was given, according to agreement by Col. sneioy iuing. in ti muniem a uesiructlve Are was poured into the ranks of the advancing foe in front and on both wings. For a moment the advancing columns recoiled but the regulars soon rallied and advanced. Another volley was poured into their ranks. The regulars fell back in confusion and the firing became brisk on both sides. So soon as the Tories saw the British regulars falling back in confusion, they gave way and fled. The American troops now began to press on boldly and the British regulars soon retreated from the field across the river. The American troops were ordered to get their horses and pursue the retreating foe. On the battle field lay ail the British officers either killed or wounded. Sixty-three privates and one Tory captain?Hawsey?lay dead on the ground and one hundred and sixty prisoners had been secured. Whilst the American forces which had become disordered in pursuing the flying foe was forming and waiting for their horses a consultation was Jteld as to what course would be pursued. On the suggestion of Col. Williams, it was determined to advance upon the British and Tory post at Ninety-Six. These partisan leaders were not long in coming to conclusions. In this instance they thought that there would be less danger in making an attack immediately upon Ninety-Six, than in ' passing Ferguson's quarters on their way back to McDowell's camp on Broad river. They had gained a glorious victory, with the loss of only six or seven men. The saddest thing about their loss was the fact that Capt. Inman, who suggested the stratagem of a skirmish with the enemy, whilst the Americans were forming, was killed. Much of the success which attended the patriots on this occasion was due to the skill with which Captain Inman managed the skirmishing and drew Innis across the river into the midst of the main body of the Americans. At the moment that victory declared for the Americans, the brave Inman fell a lifeless corpse. The whole British and Tory army was scattered to the winds. Major Frazer, the second in command was killed and Col. Innis wounded. The Americans were flushed with victory, rney rorgot tneir nunger ana fatigue and were anxious to push on to Ninety-Six which was about thirty miles distant. This was a wise conclusion and the undertaking was worthy of the men. In war, however, as in every other department of human life, well laid plans and wise conclusions are frustrated in the moment when they are near consummation. The men were mounted and waiting the command to march. At this moment a courier arrived or. the ground from Gen. McDowell. He bore a letter from Governor Caswell to Gen. McDowell. It was dated August 16th, on the battlefield where Gates and Cornwallls met in horrid conflict. In a very brief sen icul'c, ii L'uiiiiuuiuuaicu me sau news that the army, under the hero of Saratoga was completely routed and advised McDowell to get out of the reach of the enemy as soon as possible. McDowell had sent the letter without note or comment to Shelby, Williams and Clarke, that they might govern themselves as circumstances would indicate. Shelby recognized the handwriting of Governor Caswell. All were convinced that the letter was no trick of war. Another consultation was held. The attack on Ninety-Six was abandoned and it was determined, without a moment's delay, to make a push to keep out of the reach of Col. Ferguson. Tired and hungry as were both men and horses, they determined to make their escape. They well knew that Col. Ferguson would be apprised of Gen. Gates' defeat; they knew that he was an enterprising officer and would be at their heels in a short time. The prisoners were distributed among the companies giving one prisoner to every three men. This prisoner, the three men carried, alternately behind them on their horses. With all possible speed they set out for the mountain region of North Carolina. At Greenville Col. Shelby left the party and retired beyond the mountains. Clarke and Williams changed their course In the direction of Charlotte, North Carolina. The march was kept up without intermission all day and all night and the next day until late in the afternoon when they halted for a short time and fed their weary horses. It was well that they kept moving for Col. Ferguson had sent De Peyster in pursuit of | them. This officer with a strong force i of mounted men, followed the Americans for two days, but becoming fatigued with the heat, gave up tin chase. At Charlotte a short stand was maAe and some men collected from the scattered forces of Gates. The prisoners were sent under charge of Capt. Samuel Hammond to Hlllsboro, and delivered to Gen. Gates. Col. Clarke returned to the western frontier of South Carolina. Col. Williams followed the prisoners to Hlllsboro, North Carolina and was made a brigadier general by Governor Rutio/hrn nf South Carolina. At the same i time, Governor Rutledge gave a major's commission to Capt. Samuel Hammond. The bcttles of Williamson's, Cedar Springs and Musgrove's Mils although In modern times they would be regarded as only small skirmishes were In Revolutionary times grand affairs. They were bright spots in the horizon which betokened the coming of a better day. One of the prisoners captwed at Musgrove's mills was a man by the name of Saul HInson. This Hinson had joined the patriot party and lought In Col. Williams' command at the battle of Stono in the summer cf 1779. Saul HInson who was usually called Saul]r, like many others had lsecome discouraged and Joined the Tories. He was a miserable little creauure in body and could be recognized in any company. As Col. Williams was riding around the prisoners his eye caught Saul Hinson among the crowd. The colonel with a smile of satisfaction said to him "Ah! my little Sauly, have we caught, you?" "Yes and no great catch either,'" was the reply. At this Williams and all laughed heartily. While the battle was raging, two Amsri/van aoldlara r>anarht hold of ths bridle reins of the horse on which the Tory, Colonel Clarey, was rldinfr. The colonel's situation was very critical. To make any attempt to either resist or eiicape would have been followed with instant death. With a composure of mind which would have done credit to a Caesar, he sternly looked his captors In the face and abused them for two fools who did not have sense enough to know their own officer. The men let loose their hold on the bridle reins, and the Tory colonel nuuie good his e scape. Sepoy Endurance.
