I am sitting on the train to-night, With carpet-tag by my Bide, Which I with plunder well have filled Since the "Sunny South" I tried. The scene is greatly changed. I feel I'm bluer now than then; And I still keeplist'ning for the shout Of those fierce, red-shirt men. Farewell, yc yelling rebel crew Of "cavalier" descent; Most cavalierly did yc act NY hen 1 to Kdgctield went. I played "reform" to win your votes; My purpose you unmasked; The bayonet pointed at your throa's Is the revenge I've nsked. The sentry walk? hin daily rounds Within your^tatc House walls; Where civil rule once sat enthroned The drummer beats his calls.

No "State rightshrery" now clouds The justice of our cause; No shade of slavery now dims The lustre of our laws. Go hack to thy far Northern home, Thou thing that freemen hate 1 Go live, the scorn ofhoncst men, I'ehaucher of the State! The clouds that on our hopes you cast Time soon shall drift away; Tue morning light is breaking fast On a new and brighter day. Here where you sowed the needs of strife Two races blessed shall stand; Their rights inviolate maintained, While justice rides the land. The law supreme in peace shall sway TJu soldier and bis sword; And all shall bless the happy day They trusted Hampton's word. Judge T. J. M. Bennett?May. The Owner ok the New York Herald House-Whipped by Miss May's Brother. The mar ringe of Miss Caroline May to Mr. .Tarne? G. Bennett; the proprietor of the Herald, was to have been solemnized tc-'lay by Cardinal McCloskey. Mr. Bennett had desired that the marriage should not he a public display, and Miss May con curred. It wits agreed that the couple should sail for England just after tho marriage, and state rooms riehly ar ranged for the bridal party had been engaged. Miss May's bridal outfit bad been received from Paris at a cost of 820,000, and she hnd been congratulated on her prospective wed ding. Lately, however, some stories had come to her ears of Mr. Bennett's actions, and' yesterday it was an nounced that by mutual agreement the match had been broken off. Mr. Bennett frankly acknowledged that his behavior warranted Miss M ay's action in asking to be released. 80011 after 2 o'clock this afternoon, the habitues of the Uuion Club, were startled by the information, which sped like wild fire through the build ing, that Mr. Bennett was being as saulted by Sir. Frederick May, on the sidewalk, in front of the club house. The members of the club were aware of the fact that the struggle might end in a tragedy, as May was known to have been iu a defperatc moud since Saturday. Mr. May is the brother of Miss Caroline May. He is an athlete, and has been very indig nant concerning Mr. Bennett's treat ment of his sister, and bad traced Mr. Bennett to the Jnion Club building. Mr. May is not a member of the club, and therefore did not enter and there encounter Mr. Bennett. ' As he stood near the 1 ailingiii Twenty-first street, several friends passed and noticed that he was much agitated, and that he kept a sharp watch upou the entrance to the club house. Mr. Bennett was within enjoying refresh ments. He was unaccompanied, and hi? acquaintances noted that his jollity was artificial. He sent a message ior his sleigh, and when il arrived at the door, he prepared him self ior a ride to Centiul I'ark. He wore a long coat and a jaunty cap, and a splendid silk handkerchief was wound around his neck. He seemed much annoyed at the watchfulness of the club people. When Mr. Bennett lighted a cigarette in the large hallway of the club bouse und started toward die street, the door was opened wide tit? him by the attendant'" Mr. Bennett slowly descended the staircase, and just as he reached the sidewalk Mr May confronted him. Mr. Bennett stepped backward, and Mr. May drew a small whip from his great cout, and with much force and rapidty struck Mr. Bennett across the face three times. Blood streamed from gashes under his Jeyes, and from a frightful cut on his nose. He staggered for a moment und then threw himself upon Mr. May. They clinched, but Mr. May being the more powerful of the two, forced himself from Mr. Bennetts grasp. At this the latter made another lunge at Mr. May, who struck at him from the shoulder, and .Mr. Bennett fell nt full length on the sidewalk. Blood stained the snow from the sidewalk to the gutter. Attaches of the club house and pedestrains ran to Mr. Beimel's assis tance. No one attempted to stop Mr. May, who, with his hands iu his pock ets, walked leisurely toward Fifth avenue. Mr. Bennett was carried into the house and his face bathed, His sleigh was sent away and a cab was ordered Then he was taken to his home in Fifth ' avenue, where he was attended by his physician. He will not be ablo to be out for several days, being fearfully cut and bruised. Police officers near the club house said they knew nothing of the fight, although five minutes after it happen ed it was the chief topic in all the neighboring hotels. Miss May's two brothers iverc on the lookout for Mr. Boil nett as early as 0 o'clock this morning. They went to the Russin, thinking that he might take passage in that steamer, but ho v a; not thcro. William May, Frederick's brother, was in the club house, this evening, for a few moments, lie said at first, he did not care to talk of the aif air Then he said to one of his friends: "We were looking for Mr. Bennett all day, but he was in hiding. He ought to have been cowhided long ago." Conscience is generally dealt out to men according to their necessities. Naturo never places sontincls where thore is nothing to watch. Their Operations in Charleston? How they Pass the Queer?A Chance for the Detectives. 9 Columbia, January 7.?On Tues day, a young colored man, giving his name as Barney Hcnd ricks, appeared at the Station-house, in this city, and desired to surrendor himself. lie stat ed to the Journal of Commerce ro porter this evening, that he left New ?York six months ngo, as the body ?Servant of a party, composed of John jMorris, William Clark, Joo Cobbins, Tom Murphy and Joe Heilly. The object of this gnng was the distribn tion of counterfoil money, which thoy 'seem to have done very sueccsalullj'^. Heudricks says he left them hero, be cause they lefused to pay him in any thing but the "queer," which he was afraid to use. The party, he says, have been] out some six months, having visited, among other places, Baltimore, Augusta and Charleston. At the bit ;ter place the gang stopped at a house of ill fame near the Citadel Gretn, and passed during their stay about 8500. They had dies and stamps with them, and manufactured some money while iu Charleston. The party, he thinks, returned to Charleston from here. He says their stock when lie. left consisted of $5,000 iu $10 notes of the First National Bank of New York, $400 in 81 United States ereasury notes, $300 iu fifty emits pieces, and $300 iu five cent nicklcs. . He claims to have travelled trough England and the United States with the gang, which he says consists of sNew York roughs, one of whom was formerly connected with the United Scutes Treasury Department, mid stole the dies. Heudricks says he was engaged ^vith 'the gang in the" robbery of the United States mails on the New York and Erie Knilroad two years ago. He seems to he intelligent, ami his story is believed in police cirules. A Hi; at, IIoohif.u Drink.?An Indiniiiaii went into a Chicago saloon, ami asked for "a gin cocktail with some strength into it." The bur keeper made a mixture of alcoh ol, pepper sauce, absinthe, limes, and painkiller. "The Indianiau drank it," aaya the Chicago Tribune, "and about a quart of tears came to his eyes, his mouth contracted to about the size of a safe key hole, and when he had sufficiently mastered his emo tion to speak, he said, 'How much's that ?' 'Fifteen cents,' respondod the barkeeper. The customer put down a quarter and said, 'Keep the change ?have something yourself;' then wringing the barkeeper's hand, he' added, 'That's the first good gin I've tasted since I left home--sumething like liquor; it's sort of quick in taking hold and slow in letting go. Come and see me, and I'll give you some corn wdiiskey that's better, still? whiskey that's like swallowing a cir cular saw whole and pulling it up again.' The barkeeper, an hour Inter, asked the patrolman if he had heard of an old man being found dead ou the sidewalk, and when the officer said no, he du iced a few jig steps, and cried, 'Hurrah, he's gone some where else to die !" A Tkxan's Wonderful Tracks. ? A Texan, visiting this point ga the red around him ?omoofour citi '/.ens Monday, and entertained them with some of his experiences in the Lone Star State. One incident told by him is as follows: "You'd hardly believe, now, what I am going to >e!l. In Texas wo use rawdiide sirups, or thongs, for traces, and in wet weather they do stretch amazingly. Why, often in damp weather at h one I've hitched up two horses and drove down the hill from my house into the creok bottom for a sled load of wood. I havo loaded the wool and many times driven back homo and unhitched the horses and the sled would not he in sight." "How did you get the wood home then ?" "Oh. I just tied the ends of the traces together end threw them over a post, went knocking ahout my work and waited till the sun shone out. Sometimes ii would be more than two hours before that sled load of wood would get home, but you'd see her crawling up the hill at last, gradually approaching as 'the raw hide traces shrunk up into their pro per lengths. Yea, Texas is a great country, you bet."?Grccncastlc Slur. Legal Weights and Measures. Bushel Wheat 60 lbs.

"About twenty-five cents' worth," replied the ?lealer. "Twinty-foive cir.ts' wurth ?" echoed the woman. '"Och, sure, it'll boubl more nur thaat." "All right.'' replied the druggist, "I guess I can squeeze fifty cents' worth into it." He was about to put up the article on these terms when the venerable woman suddenly began to prance around, and yel'ed out at one breath, "Och, sorr, hould on, sorr I Ut'a mistake I'm after mnkin,' sorr!

"In case of nightmare do not a once bring a light, or going near, call out loudly to the sleeper, but bite his heels or his big toe and gently uttert his name. Also spit in his face and give him some ginger tea to drink; he will then come round. Or blow into the patients ears through small tubes, pull out f jurtecn hairs from his head, make them into a twist and thrust them into his nose." It seems necess ary to explain that this remedy for nightmare is from China. _ .?II II II ? i ?.i ?? It is stated that sixty thousand Philadelphia families will break up housekeeping on the first of January and start around the country making Centennial calls. A h?rne doctor was brought up in the supreme court as a witness". His replies to the numerous question* offered were rendered in an exceed ingly low tone, and one of the mem hers of the bar at last spoke out sharply that lie must reply so that ho could be understood; or he could not proceed. Judge Paters then said: T suppose that the trouble arises out of tho habit of speaking low in the nick room. The Paternal Author qf an heiress was approached by a youth who re quested a few moments conversation in private, and began: "I was re quested to see you, sir, by your lovely daughter. Our attach meat?""Young mau," interrupted the parent briskly, "1 don't know what that girl of mine is about. You are the fourth gentle man who has approached me this morning on the subject I have given my consent to the others, and give it to yea; God bl?ss you." Paymaster Rochester, of Atlanta, and Gould, of Charleston, arrived in Columbia Friday morning, 20th ult., for the purpose of paying off the troops regularly and temporarily quartered at the post Seventeen companies are there at present, and it averages about $1,000 to pay a full company.

A little Boston girl, four years old, created a ripple by remarking to the teacher of licr'Sunday school class: "Our dog's dead. I bet the angels was seared when they saw him coming up the walk. He is cross to strangers." It is uot what a man gets, but what a man is that he should think of. He should first think of his character, and then his condition. He that has character need have no fears about his condition. Character will draw after it condition. Circumstances obey principles. It is a great evil not to bear an evil. When does water resemble a gym nast ? When it makes a spring. All men are not homeless, but some men arc home less than others. Two heads are better than one? especially from a hatter's point of view. Truth sometimes tastes like medi cine, but that is an evidence that we arc ill. 'A. D. F.' You are wroug. An apiary is not a place for keeping monkeys. Modest men conceal their joys as ^ well as their sorrows, for they consid er the one as underserved as the oth er. It is not cousidered a subject of lnughter in New Haven to see a young woman prowling around withacow hide, looking after a theological stud ent. "What's your name?" said an ofH cer to a young colored lad who joined his ship ut the cape. "Algoa Bay, sir." "Where were you born?" ."Wasn't bom at all." "Wasn't born at all?" "No, sir; was washed ashore in a storm." A young person thinks it enough to do rit$h'. As he grows older, ho finds it necessary to satisfy others that ho has done so. Much of the time that might bo spent in doing well must be used in securing evidence that wo have not done ill. "Funk," said nn affectionate moth cr tho other day to a promising boy, ?'if you don't stop smoking and read ing so much you will get so after a while that you won't enro anything abor t work." "Mother," replied the hopoful, leisurely removing a very long cigar, "I have got so now."
