Epps, of Richmond, Ya., is making a short visit to Charleston to renew old memories and recall events of thirty years ago. Thirty years is a long, time between visits, but the friends of Mr. Epps has made already in this last call hope that he will not wait thirty years more before calling again. "I owe my life to Charleston," said Mr. Epps to a reporter to the News and Courier last night at the St. .Charles hotel, "and I just came down to see the old place again and find, if possible, the owner of a tablespoon that I took from the table of the Charleston Hotel in November, 1863. This is the spoon," he continued, arid exhibited a silver tablespoon of the usual size. The handle showed a deep dent, and Mr. Epps took a bat? tered minnie ball from his pocket and fitted it in the depression. On the hack of the handle appear the words. "D. Mixer, Charleston Hotel." ana on the face is scratched, evidently with a knife, the word, "Epps." The bowl is much worn on one side and somewhat bent. "It was in September, 1863, that my company, the Richmond Light In? fantry Blues, was ordered to Charles? ton. We camped up at Wappo, and there was. very little of interest to re? late of the first three months. One day in November a comrade and I got leave to go to the city. We got over all right and after looking around for awhile went out to Magnolia Ceme? tery. Coming in about 4 o'clock we decided to treat ourselves to a great dinner at the Charleston Hotel to vary the monotony of the camp fare. We knew it was going to cost us some? thing, and in order to try best to en? joy it we. ascertained the latest hour at which we could get dinner. It was stated at 5 o'clock, and as that was some time away we went down to the Market and sat on the steps, getting our appetites up until nearly 5 o clock. "When we did get to dinner I re? member that somehow we had lost our appetites, but the.landlord had not forgotten his rates, and we had to Jive up ten dollars for the pair of us. ust before we left the table a colored waiter put a sugar bowl near me; in it was a tablespoon, and giving my com? rade the wink I quietly appropriated that spoon. We laughed over it out? side and the spoon was put into, active service as soon as camp was reached. You can see how the edge in worn, that is from scraping hominy out of iron pots. Well, a few months after that we were ordered to Virginia, and on March 29, 1864, our corps was en? gaged at the battle of Hatchers' Run, near Petersburg. My company was in at the front, and -early in the fight I was shot and left for dead on the field. The Federals found me that night alive, and I was taken to their hospi? tal near by and cared for by Dr. Lau rin, of Kingston, N. Y. This bullet was taken from my right side, having gone through my body just above the waist without striking any vital part. The spoon, which you see is dented, was in the pocket of my coat, (you know where the pockets are in a mili? tary coat), and the handle was stick? ing up. The bullet was well aimed, and could not have missed my heart, but the spoon turned it sideways and down, and it struck across, nearly coming out at the back on the other side. The second day after that bat? tle, while I was lying in the Federal hospital, Abraham Lincoln visited the camp. "Passing through the hospital his attention was called to me and shook hands with me, and said he hoped I would soon be well enough to go baok to my parents. You see, I was only 23, and looked but a lad. I got well pretty quick, was exchanged, and went back to my command. I have lived in Richmond ever since, and served twenty-four years as captain of the police. I -have just been re-elect? ed the third term as city sergeant, an office which I understand is the same as your sheriff. ""One of my principal reasons for coming to Charleston is to find some? one who was connected with the Charleston Hotel in 1863 and bring this spoon. I want to really own it, and you can guess I would'nt part with it for a trifle. Now, if there are any of the heirs of D. Mixer in or about Charleston I would be very glad to hear from them. Mr. Epps, who is accompanied by an old war comrade, Mr. Andrew Krause, also of Richmond, went up to Wappo yesterday and visited the old campground. They will go to Adams' Run, James Island and other points before leaving for home.? Finding Lost Stepp. Here is a story as told in substance by Dr. Dio Lewis which suggests its own lesson or moral. "I visited," said he, "the Southwestern part of Dakota, and saw a sheep ranch. The flocks, numbering several thousands, were driven in at nightfall to be cor? ralled or put in the folds. They were counted, and from one flock fifteen' or twenty were absent. The head ranch? man said to one of the herders : 'These sheep must be found or they will be killed by the wolves. What is to be done ?' The other replied: 'Send these dogs.' They were two fine large animals, apparently of the shepherd breed. 'No, Flora must go.' 'But,' urged the herder,' Flo' has a lame foot, and besides, she has four young puppies of the best breed. Why not send Caesar and Heotor ? Are they not good dogs V " 'Good dogs ? Of course they are. But we want' to find sheep, not to hunt. Caesar and Hector are brave, and they would fight every wolf in the mountain,.and whip him too; they'd hunt every owl in the canon, and chase every jack-rabbit on the prairie. But where would the sheep be in the meantime? .1 tell you Flo' will find the sheep, and she must go.' "So he called for Flora, who came limping along on three feet, holding up the lame foot. He gave the com? mand, 'Go and seek the sheep.' She lifted her foot as if to show it, and crept off to the kennel where her four little blind whelps were cuddled in the straw. 'No,' said he sternly, 'you must go and seek for the sheep. And calling to her in a harsh voice, he took her to the flock from which the sheep were missing, making her see that some were absent, and then or? dered her off on the trail. She start? ed at once, limping, indeed, but never hesitating more." The doctor went to the ranch for the night, but he says he thought of Flora almost all the time, and started in the morning to see the result. Said he : "I was on hand just as the morning star came up over an Eastern hill, and almost at the same time Flora came in driving the sheep?every one?before her. She was still limping, her fur was wet with the dew from the bushes, and her tail knotted with burrs. She gave one little bark, as much as to say: 'There, see your sheep.' And then she hobbled off to the kennel, and was asleep apparently before the hungry pups had fastened themselves to her dugs."?Exchange. ? Father?"Do you really desire to make my daughter happy ?" The Suitor?' 'Certainly.'' Fa thor?"Tt en don't marry her !M.' Toe Groom Wound op His Watch. "It is remarkable," said a promi? nent city clergyman lately, "with what nonchalance some bridegrooms go throug the ceremony. I don't un? derstand it, for when I was married my knees wobbled so that I was pro? voked because I had not strapped them together before the trying ordeal begun. But the coolness and complacency with which some of the men who come to the parsonage to be married go through the thing arc a revelation to me, and make mc believe that I had no 'nerve' at all. "Of course," he continued, "the people who come unannounced to the parsonage to be married are generally of the plain sort. They dress plainly and frequently have delightfully fresh and original manners and ways of doing things. But you must acknowledge that even to a clergyman who has read the service over hundreds of trembling couples-it is startling to have the bridegroom at the most solemn part take out his Waterbury watch and be? gin to Wind it up in the most method? ical way imaginable. But that is just what happened here last week. I was reading the formal charge to the man and woman, and reading it in a way that I considered most impressive and awe-inspiring. The bridegroom, who was a big, lumbering fellow, followed me for a time with considerable inter? est. Then he suddenly took out his watch and began to wind it. I let him go on for a few seconds, and then I realized that it was a Waterbury, and might last all the rest of the cere? mony. So I stopped short and looked at the man in a friendly way, but he did'nt comprehend at all what was the matter?and all this time the steady click-click of the winder was to be heard. "It was very mortifying to me that my dignity was not overwhelming enough tb make that man stop short, but it didn't, and I had to speak to him." The clergyman sighed as he thought of his trials. "Then a pair from the country came here last night?a cou? ple of bumpkins, green, clumsy and good-natured. When I said the man and vornan may join hands, meaning, of course, right hands, they clasped hands as they stood side by side, and swung them back and forth like a cou? ple of little schoolgirls. " 'Right hands I' I said in a low voice, but with considerable empha? sis. 'Oh, yes, of course,' said the youth with a blush, and he seized his bride's hand and shook it most cordi? ally. "As I said before Iconsider myself one of the most dignified clergyman in the city, but I am slowly breaking down under the strain of keeping my face duly solemn at such moments as those." A Belle of the War. In excavating at the corner of East and South Battery for the new asphalt roadway a number of huge timbers were unearthed. They are part of the foundation built at that point upon which to mount one of the two huge Blakely rifled guns which were pre? sented to the Confederacy by John Fraser & Co. for the defence of Charleston. Each of these guns weighed with their carriages thir? ty-eight tons. At that time they were the largest rifled guns in the world, and would doubtless have done fearful execution had an enemy ever come within their range. It is a curious fact that these guns exploded a theory which up to that time had universally been held by all artilleries, to wit: That a vacuum be? hind the charge of powder would burst a gun. The guns had a small cham? ber in the base of the bore. Upon the theory above alluded to the car? tridges were so constructed as to fill this chamber and upon being fired the gun cracked at the breach. It was then ascertained that the small cham? ber was intended! by the inventor to act as an air cushion, and should have been left empty. The cracked gun was very skillfully repaired by the late J. M. Eason, of this city. Heavy wrought iron bands were put around it, making it as strong as it's sister gun, which was mounted elsewhere on the city water front. The sizes of these monsters may be estimated by the fact that they, with two hundred rounds of ammunition, formed the cargo of the blockade steamer Sumter. The length of the guns necessitated their being loaded in an upright position in the hatch? ways of the vessel, thus making it, at sea, appear to have three smokestacks. The gun of which the logs just un? earth formed the foundation, was burst by the Confederates upon evac-1 uating the city to prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy, much to the injury of the fine residence at the corner, then owned by the late Mr. Louis JD. DeSaussure, and a fragment of the gun, weighing upwards of five hundred pounds, is now lodged in the rafters of the house of the late Gen. Siegling on East Battery.?News and Courier._ Dldu't Work Both Ways. "And you will always be pleasant and loving ?" he said tenderly. "Oh, yes, always, Harold," she re? plied.

" "And when I am tired out with my day's work?and you know a man is always a little cross and dis? agreeable when he is tired out and worried?you'll be loving and sympa? thetic ?" "Ye-es.

Arousing either love or dislike, the cat moves along beside us in our daily lives, a quaint, baf? fling and mysterious being, as dainty and as delicate as a princess royal, as fastidious as woman, as inscrutable as the sphinx. In all ages cats have been associated with the black art in the minds of the superstitious; and whenever, in a period of ignorance, there has been a crusade against witchcraft, the unfortunate victims of popular prejudice have been accused of sustaining peculiar relations to cats. Sometimes they are supposed to change into the form of cats, and a black cat has always been imagined to be in the favorite shape into which the eldrich woman was likely to trans? form herself. We have outgrown much of the silly and stupid fear of cats which disgrac? ed a former and more credulous time, but there are still people who believe that a cat will kill an infant by suck? ing its breath. Loving a soft nest in which to lie, caring for ease and lux? ury as few animals do, a cat may find a baby's crib a very delightful place to repose. The cat's weight? on the delicate form might easily crush it, and the feeble little spark of life might go out by suffocation, but cats do not go prowling about bent on the destruction of tiny morsels of human? ity. *No cat lover will assent to the slander. Not long ago a pet cat was observed in a certain house to creep softly up? stairs every morning, with an evident intention to enter the nursery. The door was left open for her entrance and Madam Puss was followed. Swiftly and surely she took herself to the small white bed v. here the young? est child, her playmate all day long, wast fast asleep. Springing to the. pillow, she tried to wake the sleeper, carefully extending each paw, with its claws sheathed, and touching the rosy cheek and chin, as if to say, "Get up, you lazy little friend !" Finding she could not succeed in her purpose, she laid herself patiently down at the foot of the bed, biding her time till the little one should awake. It was a pretty sight. The petted cat is al? ways pretty and gentle.?Harpers Bazar. The Ferris Wheel. Preliminary work incident to taking down the Ferris Wheel on the Mid? way Plaisance was begun yesterday. This consists of placing false work, engines, and hoisting apparatus. Some day next week the big wheel will turn for the last time in Chicago. At that time several Ferris Company officials that will ride around on the struss are still in place. Some will simply hold to the ten-inch iron beams, while others, more timid, will be tied on. It will take ten weeks to take the wheel to pieces. The car that was used for carrying the Krupp gun will be used for the seventy-ton axle. The material will be taken in five trains of thirty cars each to New York city. There are 3,000 tons of metal in the wheel and 500,000 feet of timber is neaded for the false work. Taking the wheel down will be more danger? ous than putting it up. Only one life was lost in erecting the big attraction. The expense of taking down, mov? ing, and rebuilding the wheel will be $150,000. In New York it is to be placed at Thirty-seventh street and Broadway. Old Vienna will be re? produced around it. Here the wheel had 3,000 electric lights; in New York the number will be doubled. The Old Ferris Wheel Company goes out of existence and a new company, composed of New York men, has been formed. Superintendent L. V. Rice has charge of the removal. During the fair the wheel went around 10,000 times and carried 2,000, 000 passengers. The largest single load was carried October 19, when at 12.30 o'clock 1,768 people were in the cars. The largest day's business was October 10, when 38,000 people were carried. October 9, 10 and 11 [there were 114.000 passengers, the largest average tor any three days.?Ghicaao Tribune. Wanted Ills Share.

"I dunno ef I come in the right place or not, but I was told fo' to see you,"-continued the relic, at the same time looking around the room. Then he handed the commis? sioner a slip of reprint, which read as follows : "California raised in 1893 a bushel of wheat for every man, woman and child in the United States." The commissioner asked what of it. "Iz California pawt ob de United States ?" "Yes." ! "Her owes 'legence to dc gub ment?" "Yes." Then he pulled a gunny sack from under his coat.

Hints Abont Driving, When driving you must watch the road. Turn out for stones, so that the horse shall not stumble nor the wheels jolt over them ; avoid the mudholes and places whore the going is bad; let the horse slacken speed when the road becomes heavy, and if you want to make up time to do it where the ground slightly descends. It is a common mistake to think that a horse can haul a carriage easily on the level. On such a road he has to be pulling every moment; there is no rest; whereas when the road now rises and now falls the weight is tak? en off him at times and he has a chance to reccvor his wind and to rest his muscles. As between a level road in a valley and an up-and-down road over the hills the latter is by far the easier for a horse to travel. When you come to a long level stretch let your horse walk a bit in the middle of it. Almost everybody knows that for the first few miles after coining out of the stables a horse should be driven slowly and especially if he has just been fed. On a journey it is of the utmost importance to observe this rule. Be careful, however, not to check a young nag too quickly when he comes fresh from the stable. Give him his head, talk to hira soothingly, and presently he will come down to a moderate pace. If you pull him up at once you vex him extremely, so much so that he is not unlikely to kick. ?

George Ashiuuu used to tell a story about an auctioneer who was provok ingly annoyed while in the exercises of his profession by the ludicrous bids of a fellow whose sole object seemed to be to make sport for the buyers rather than himself to buy. At length enraged beyond endurance, the auc? tioneer, looking round the room for a champion to avenge his wrongs, fixed his eyes upon a biped of huge dimen? sions, a very monarch in strength, and called out: "Marlow, what shall I give you to put that fellow out ?" "I will take one $5 bill." _ "Done ! done ! you shave it." Assuming the ferocious?knitting his brows, spreading his nostrils like a lion's and putting on the wolf all over his head and shoulders?old Mar low strode off to the aggressor, and seizing the terrified wretch by the collar, said to him in a whisper shat was heard all over the room : "My good frin, you go out with mc I give you half the money 1" "Done ! done !" said the fellow.

A couple of tramps who are now touring through the country arc mak? ing quite a little "pile," owing to the cleverness and wit of one of them. This is how they worked their little dodge the other day in a village through which they were passing : Going to the only inn in the place, they called for drinks, and perceiving a number of men in the corner, the witty tramp engaged them in conver? sation. After a time he offered to bet each of them a dime that he could show them something they had never seen before, and would never see again. The men were surprised, and deeming the tramp's assertion an impossibility, agreed and duly deposited the stakes with the other tramp, closely watching him the while, to see that he did not escape with the money. "Well," replied the bettor, taking from his pocket a plum, "none of you ever saw this plum before, and (eating it,) none of you will ever see :it again." The pair then walked out, having pocketed a dollar by the maneuver. Everyday Farm Philosophy. The more you love yourself the less you are sure to love others. A trifling dog is generally not half as trifling as the man who keeps him. Some fellows kick a horse every time they enter his stall and then wonder why he does not love them. The stalk of corn that grows the tallest and appears the most conspic? uous, nearly always bears a blasted ear. Prodigality is no sign of generosity. It rather indicates narrowness of both mind and heart too contracted to com? prehend the real value of things. If some men would hoe with as much devotion as they appear to pray i:n the prayer meeting, they would not have nearly so much complaint of hard times to make.

The St. Louis Jtepublic argues that America does not need less poverty, but more of it, as our worst evils come either from the desire for or the possession of too much money. Our contemporary thinks that when the majority of men are not willing to endure poverty, and make it the busi? ness of their lives to accumulate wealth, they absorb more than their share and deprive others of the proceeds of their la? bor. To avoid this evil the Jtepublic sug? gests that people should make way fcr others, after thoy have accumulated enough to supply their moderato wants. It says: "It was a habit among tbo workers of the eighteenth contury to retire from business?something we rarely hear of now. The small tradrsnian who had ac? cumulated a few hundred pounds was often satisfied to live in poverty the rest of his life, having in his savings the as? surance that he would never be hungry. Merchants who accumulated a competen? cy withdrew from competition with younger men and devoted themselves to other things?sometimes to their own pleasure, often to work for the common welfare. Men who owned forty-acre farms that their grandfathers had lived on lived on them through their whole lives And taught their children to expect to live as they had done. And while it is not desirable to restore the eighteenth century, it is worth while to remember tbat when the spirit of activity is pros? tituted to covetousness, to the mere desire of getting, regardless of need, it cL es not make for improvement, but for ruin." It is all very well for a philosopher to talk in this fashion, but very few will pay any attention to it. The money craze has taken possession of the ma? jority of people, and it is a rare thing to find a man who will admit tbat be has enough. The proposition that we need more poverty, instead of less of it, will not commend itsolf to the average citi? zen. ? George W.

In a recent lecture Sir Robert Ball said that a telegraphic message would go seven times around the earlh in a second, and if a telegraphic message could be sent to the moon it would reach its desti? nation in a little more than a second. It would take something like eight min? utes to arrive at the sun ; but how long, think you, would it take to get to Alpha Centauri, traveling (.hither 180,000 miles a second? Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, month?, would not be long enough ; it would take no less than three years, traveling all the time at that, tre? mendous pace, before it would roach its destination. If that is the case with res? pect to the nearest of the stars, what must be said of those which are still far? ther off? There are stars so remote that if the news of the victory of Wellington at Waterloo had been Hashed to them in 1815 on that celestial telegraph system, it wonld not have reached them yet, even if the message bad sped at the space Indicated, and had been traveling all the time._ A PHOTOGRAPHIC TRIP AROUND THE WORLD FEEE! -o A Large and Wonderful Collection of Instantaneous Photo? graphic Viev/s. -o THE Landscape Views are of the best character, representing the magnificent scenery of America.

Miss Imhoff, a missionary in Ja? pan was recently mobbed and her eyes were put out for talking against idol worship. ? Labor is the life of life. Ease is the way to disease, the highest life of an organ lies in the fullest discharge of its functions. ? To despond is to be ungrateful beforehand. lie not looking for evil. Often thou draincst the gall of fear while evil i? passing thy dwelling. ? To be a gentleman is to be hon? est, to be gentle, to be generous, to bo brave, to be wise ; and possessing all these qualities, to exercise them in the most graceful outward manner. ? There are truck "farms" in New York which arc assessed at 8150,000 an acre. About forty such acres are to be seen in the vicinity of the King? dom Come Curve, on the 6th avenue <;L," between the 104th and 116th s.veet stations. They used to be leased for one or two years at a time, but no lease falling in is now renewed for more than six months in advance. ? The strong facial resemblance which married couples often acquire after living together along period of years, harmoni? ous in thought and feeling, and subject to the same conditions in life, has often been commented upon. The Photogra? phic Socioty of Geneva recently took the pictures of 78 couples for an investigation of this subject. The result was that in 24 cases the resemblance in the personal ap pearanco of the husband and wife was greater than that of brother and sister; in 30 cases it was equally great and in only 34 was there a total absence of resem? blance. ? Lawson Tait exonerates the human race from the imputation of being the only creatures that naturally tako to drink. Wasps, he says, have the pro? clivity. Mr. Tait has watched the wasps eagerly attacking overripo fruit, when sugar has ja some degree been converted iuto alcohol. Around such fruits, es pectally rotten plums and grapes, the wasps may be seen fighting and strug? gling for precedence, and afterwards, when they are absolutely drunk with the spirit, they crawl away in a torpid con? dition and hide themselves in the grass till they have slept off the orgy. t \indicjtsUcri in 5 minutes ccdij meals % PRICE 50 CENTS PER BOTTL s.:.
