Moise wase held at 11 o'clock this morning in the Jewish Lecture Hall, c which was filled to 'the doors with those who had gathered i from this city and county and e other parts of the State to pay b the last mark of respect to the g, memory of their friend. All business was suspended in the e city and the schools were closed gi for the day, and the bell in the City Hall tower was tolled while the funeral cortege was moving from Gen. Moise's late residence a to the Lecture Hall. The cadets of the Sumter Military Academy and the Sumter Light Infantry; p forming the military escort, pre- d ceded ,the hearse, and the Con- a federate Veterans of Camp Dick a Anderson followed. fi The city officials, council and1 police force attended in a body e and the children of the advanced i grades of the Washington Street o School were present and occu- ti pied the Sabbath-school room h opening into the Lecture Hall. s< The funeral service was read by the Rev. B. A. Elzas, of Char-' s leston, who also made a brief ad dress, which was a feeling, b eloquent and true tribute to Gen. f: Moise's character as a man and e: as a citizen. cl Dr. Elzas said: Let us linger li for 'a few moments, dear friends,. ere we accompany our honored s) brother to his last resting place, a: for I would fain pay not only it the last tribute of friendship, biit offer the tribuite of loving h recognition, too, on behalf of the o community of which he was so a esteemed and deservedly esteem- b ed a member.

An Actual Occurrence onthe Late War in 2 a Vgginia Town. 2 The following tale has proba- ~ bly been often repeated to the oldest inhabitants of Warrenton,r but for the benefitiof those whio have never .heard it, and -for those who would like t'o hear it 9 again, we put this humorous ~ war-time incident before the pub- e lic in the graphic way in which it was described by Mr. Rap- e hael Semmes Payne, formerly s >f Warrenton;a - In the spring of 1862, when General Pope's big army, 100-s 000 strong was encamped around Warrenton, Va., Mosby and his s dare devil rangers were engaged in a hazardous game of chess with the Yankees, which abun ded with brilliant and strategic moves on the part of the warye guerrillas. So well versed were those gay knights of the sword and saddle in the art of surprisea and capture that the war depart- l ment at Washington is said to have set a ransom upon their Ieads. Bred in a virile atmos- & phere, that youthful, impetuous d band of troopers knew every a root of their romantic region. b They had fished in its picture- l que streams and hunted the wild fox over its mountain a: spurs and throt.gh its beautiful i valeys. With a good horse un- p ler them, a brace of pistols in their boots and Yankee spoils b is an incentive to enterprise; ti to execute Mosby's plans they g would, run the risk of being cap- w ~ured or shot, with an abandon al hat was as debonair as it was eckless. -r Although Mosby felt that his e, ~apture meant indignity and pro- ci ably death, instead of seeking te mder cover he grew bolder and sa 3ontinued to harass, circumvent L uzzle the enemy by his ubiqui- p. >uity and with such arrogant tl persistence that Pope became h: rritated and determined upon a di holesale arrest of the male n< population of the neighborhood, j Thom he suspected of being in eague with Mosby's command. I All the men and boys, as roung as 15, had tone to the ta ront, leaving literally only 'the >utcher, the baker and the can- T lestick maker' to protect and >rovide for the women and chil ren of Warrenton. General Pope finally grew ery angry and issued orders for th he arrest of all suspects. The va >rovost marshal formally con- t ened his court and detailed a of ~uard. The first prisoner brought ha n was a respectable farmer iamed Wolf, who resided a few j c niles from town. The next cul- he rit called to the bar responded n o the appellation of John Fox, tra shopkeeper in Warrenton. C he judge remarked with a smileo.

The guard then produced ,quiet, inoffensive-looking citi en, who called himself Rabbit, thereupon the court frowned nd demanded, "Your right ame sir." "I speak the truth," replied tabbit, "that's my name. I am shoemaker by trade, and live 1 this town." The next suspect was, a comi a. looking little man with a oon-like face, wa ggish gray yes, and a voice like a cross-cut aw.

"What is your name?~" was v ked of a Hebrew, who replied h iat it was Baer, and his occu- b ition that of a merchant. r The judge was nonplussed, c t appreciating the humor of t ie situation, exclaimed with >od-natured surprise: "Have 1< e gotten into a den of wild s iimals?" But the climax of the fun was i ~ached when the last man went n i the stand. He was a local I aracter, and the popular boni- r ce of Warrenton. When he in ore that his name was Louis o ion, and moreover, was pro- h ietor of the "Lion House," ti tere was such an outburst of a larity that the judge lost his b gnity, proclaimed that he was E >t in the mnenageri e, and ad- s~ urned the court sine die. b The sequel to the comedy wasn e release of the prisoners and big laugh on General Pope roughout the rank and file of ' >th armies.-Warrenton, Va., t( rue-Index.

REMOVING A GHOST.' rhe Story of a Man Who Moved Into a House' That Was Said to be Haunted. 'The strangest experience I ver had in anything like a iaunted house," said a man who lelights in telling weird tales, 'was over here on the coast a ew years ago, when I was mak ng an experiment in the busi iess of raising terrapins. There as a house which remained va ant a greater part of the time n account of the many ghost tories told about it. It was a Lne place, and I concluded to ent it and take my chances on he ghost proposition. I moved a from another place on the oast not very far from the aunted house. Among the ings I carried along with me ias an old trunk which had not een put to any important use or some time. It was looked pon as so much rubbish. It ad been in an old outhouse for ome months. The house we 2oved into was a large, roomy lace. with an upstairs of con iderable size. We decided to se the upstairs part of the place >r a sort of storage room for te old plunder we had brought' ith us. Among other things -e put the old trunk to which I ave referred in this part of the ouse. It was put in a back omu, one we rarely entered, be ause we had but little use for Le things we had placed in it. "We had not been in the place mg before we began to hear trange sounds in the back room -here we had placed the old runk. At first we did not pay. tuch attention to the sounds. i fact, we allowed the thing to a on for several months before taking any sort of investigation E the rather queer noises we eard. In the meantime, the ing had become a source of uch annoyance to me and mem rs of my little household. very night we could hear the te old scratch, scratch in the ck room.

Didn't Know Butter When They Saw It. When the Massachusetts leg ~slature was considering the bill hich was intended to force the anufacturers of oleomargarine o stamp it as such and take out icenses, Thomas Wentworth Iigginson arose and in a long peech; in which he ignored the mmense dairy interests of the state, argued against the bill on bhe ground that oleomargarine as the poor man's butter; that was healthful and necessary, d that such a law would drive t out of the market.I "Why," said Mr. Higginson,l 'what's the need of labeling his product as if it were poison? t is so like butter ini its taste d effects that when, at the re 3ent dinner of the agricultural ;ociety, pats of butter and pats )f olemargarine were placed be ore the guests, not a man there ~ould tell which was the butter mnd which was the oleomar -arine," Just then a member who had een prominent in advocating be bill interrupted, saying: "Would the gentleman mind eling the members of this body, it what stage of the dinner this est took place?"--New York imes.

The defendants were interested in a bazaar promoted-on behalf of the local hospital, and one pf the attractions had been a "spinning jeny" or "tee-to-turn," which the prosecution alleged was a "same of chance" and rendered the participators in it liable to be proceeded against. A local grocer, in giving his evidence for the prosecution, was exceed ingly severe on the unfortunate defendants. "Now, look here, Mr. X--," broke in one of the defendants at ...z length, "how would you define The term gambling?". The grocer declared that "anything was gambling when you didn't know what you were goin' to get for your money." "Indeed!" retorted the defen dant, turning to the magistrates' clerk, "Will you make a note of that, sir? Mr. X--himself -is liable to be proceeded against." "Ow's that?" shouted Mr. X "I bought some eggs from you the otbher day," was the rejoind er, "and I never should have done so if I had known what I was getting for my money.
