After the justice had listened atten tively to the lawyer, and when bc bad finished, .Mr. Allen was asked if the I opposing counsel bad stated what was ; strictly true. j "If your honors please," said the ! astute Mississippian. "1 eau best an ! swer the question with a little story. Some time ago a sherill ol' om? of the counties of my State died. There was another gentleman residing in thc ; county who thought he could lill thc ; official shoes ?d' the deceased to a nice ty, so he proceeded to draw up ii re commendation' in his own behalf for i appointment to the vacancy, and then j secured his neighbors' signatures to it. ile recited in thc document his numer ous qualifications for the position, and stated, among other things, that 'Mr. ' Jones was strictly honest.' He car ried the paper to old Judge Smith and asked him to sign it. "The judge put on his specs and carefully read the paper over. Then he coughed and said: '"Jones, I'll sign this herc recom mendation if you'll let mc chango one word in it.' "Jones glowed with satisfaction, for the judge's signature was a power in thc premises. " 'Certny, judge, certny,' he cordi ally remarked. 'One word can't hurl the paper. Now, what word would you like to ch mge, sir?' "'Well,' replied the judge, 'I just want to scratch out the word strictly where it precedes honest and insert the word tolerably.' " The grave justices laughed and thc case went on. j - Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, granted 693 pardons, commutations and respites during his two years in office. His record on his last day was 43 pardons. - There was an old lady in New England once who was wont to say that she never "felt so happy as when she could sit right down in all her misery and enjoy it." This same lu gubrious old female, when she was told that there was no snoh thing as eternal punishment, no literal hell, expressed her disgust, saying she had hoped for better things." THE SONS OF VETERANS. A Plain Talk Which Should be Heed ed and Promptly Responded to. Headquarters f South Carolina Division, ^ United Sous of Confederate V. ^ Axi.KUSOS, S. C., Jan. 31, 18??. My Dear Comrades: As commander of the South Carolina Division. United Sons of Confederate Veterans. 1 want to have a frank and plain talk with the members of the various camps, us well as with the Sons of Veterans in the State, win? are not members of thc order. To that end 1 am writ in j! this communication, and 1 beg that it be read ea refit I ly. and that all I say be taken in thc earnest spirit in which it i fi written To a large extent, the r, spousibility of the Confederate reunion, to be held in Charleston on May 10th to CW h next. 11 .-t- upon the entire State, ?ind ?niisuiuch as we, a- son.i of veli rans ave to be < iitertainod on that neeasion, it behooves us to bear our share in (he work, and contribute to :1 e.full ?>< v ability towards makin*: the occasion suc?esid'ul. lt would ho a reproach upo'ti uk if though any 1 u (d' will ingness III; oui* part t ? help :.. tit . pre-; parutions for the entertainim nt ?f ? *. guests pf thc State, they should fail to re?u ive the attention and ear- which they hive a right to ex peet. There fore it behool, es the members of every camp in this division, to take imm? diate steps to awaken au act i', e inti rest in this matter: to revive a lively in terest in the camp organizations; to urge the organization ol' other camps; to collect and remit all annual dues to thc general headquarters and to this division; to take steps looking to thc election ol' delegates to this reunion; in short-, to prepare in every way tn make a creditable appearance of the division on that occasion. Comrade.-., veterans and sons of veterans from all of thc old Confedi r ntc States will be present in Charles ton on this grand occasion. The fame ? >!' Sou-h Carolina's hospitality bas prepared thom to expect a warmness of welcome; and ;? demonstration of hospitality, such as has never bei n equalled iu the South. Wi cannot alford that they shall bo disappointed in the h i t of their expectations. That we may accomplish prop! riv all that Hes before us. it is necessary ti: it wo bevin eur work without a inonu nt s delay. Therefore, 1 call upon the oil:cors of the virions camps to take steps without a day's delay to reor ganize their camps, ii* necessary, and to do all that is possible to put our division in shape to discharge it- du ties as hosts with credit to ourselves. To those sons of veterans who do not belong to our organization 1 make thc earnest plea that they will immedi ately proceed to organize camps or else to join the camps already formed, llobert Ar Smyth, commander-in chief, Charleston, S. C., or I will gladly furnish tho necessary blanks and give you all tho information you ask for oifthe subject of organizing camps ami on thc genera! and special objects of our order. I have an abiding faith that 1 shall not appeal in vain lo the pride, tho spirit ol' hospitality and titi? loyalty of thc sons of veterans of South Carolina. M. h. HUXHAM, Commanding S. C.

Von all know ?John Nutwing-the fellow that used to sell soda water and grumble when a customer insisted on taking it with syrup. Well, ho was tho stingi est mau I ever saw. Why. sir, he was so stingy that he used to lei his meat spoil. Said he couldn't afford to eat it while it was so valuable. One day a cart came along with a barrel of wa ter. Just as it was passing John's gate, the thing broke down. Well, John went out, caught half the water and poured it in his well. Sa.d that he couldn't afford to see anything wasted. 0, yes, he was close. I was with him when he died. He was per fectly willing, though he dreaded thc expense of having a grave dug. "Col onel," said he, addressing me in an anxious way that had become one of his characteristics, "can't you git some of the boys and induce 'cm to dig a grave as a matter of consideration? I did intend to be buried under the pear tree, but thc land is so valuable I can't afford it." "You don't seem to be very sick," said I. Perhaps you may recover. "O, no, I'm gone," bc re plied. I took poison justbefore send ing for you. I decided that I could not afford to live. It's too expensive. After a fellow dies, you know, and gets settled down, the expenses cease. That confounded druggist cheated me, I had to pay five cents for the poison. He should have given me two doses for that sum." He was so stingy that he died without a struggle. Taking everything into consideration, John was the closest man I ever saw.'" For a clear complexion, bright sparkling eye and vigorous digestion, take Prickly Ash Bitters. It puts thc system in perfect order. Sold by Evans Pharmacy. A Drummer's Story of Luck. Four commercial men, ?ni?' of them employed by a firm of jewelers ia this city, were swapping stories in a hotel up the State thc other evening aud gradually drifted to experiences of luck. When the jewelry man's turn came his eyes twinkled as he brushed the ashes from his cigar with a finger circled by a diamond ring, and rather lazily got into positiou for his innings.

Next morning 1 went with my host to his plac?: ?d' business and found that he was a dealer in jewelry. As noon approached 1 thought of the real estate sale and spoke of thc matter to my host. " 'What ! you interested in that sale ?' he said in a tone of surprise. 'Let's go over ; it's just across the street.' "Wc crossed and caused some com ment, I thought, ns we entered the place. The bidding seemed rather slow, but gradually rang up to $li?.), OOO. At that point the auctioneer glanced over in my direction, and, scarcely aware what 1 was doing, I nodded. " 'Ahundred and fotfiy, li?: shouted, and a few minutes later the property was knocked down at that figure. Be fore I could recover from my amaze ment or reply to the auctioneer's re quest for the purchaser's name, the door opened and a man rushed in and asked whether the sale was. over and who was the buyer. When I was pointed out he approached, looked mc over rather loftily and said : " 'Represent the St. Louis men, I suppose,' " 'Xo, Bir,' I said, with a meekness that he appeared to mistake for indif ference.
