As this column has had th e honor of
bavinp' thrust upon them the task of
caring for incidents of an unusual
character that occur within the terri
tory allotted me, I will try to do jus
tice to a hen that distinguished her-
selLa few days ago. The distinguish
ing happened in this wise: The lav
ing of an egg that, although havi-ig
been laid by a hen. and in this man
ner winning the distinction of being
called a hen-egg. was i n appearance
more of a bird-egg than anything else.
It was very small; in fact, about as
small as I have ever seen a bird-egg,
much less a hen-egg. The distinguish
ed hen is the property of a Gaffney
lady, and so. if there be a hall of Lime
for hens, this Gaffney hen is eligible
for entrance, and to Gaffney be the
praise. The one narrating the story
to mo was very much struck with the
incident, so consented to allow me to
•ask any questions that were answer-
able. The only question in doubt was,
Was th- hen old enough to know bet-
er? The kind person just referred to
! s now making investigation in that
lirection, and will doubtless be able to
enlighten the public in thp near fu
ture.

I saw a shining example a few days
ago which brought clearly to my mind
i suspicion that has lain hidden and
humant for same time, viz., that the
a\erage negro of this day and timp is
the happiest creature known. Who
ever saw one worried? Was one ever
known to have the “blues,” which
harr ss and torment the whites of the
times? So far as I can discover, no
one ever had this unusual experience.
However, the glimpse I caught of the
personage who is to nrove the star
character in this squib, convinced me
that the n< -ro can never mourn. This
really great personage, for truly no
other word < n fittingly describe him,
consisted of a very small bundle of
nigger” and a ' smaller bundle of
wearing appar V which served to or
nament the person of the boy, for
such we suppose he was. When he
first burst on our gaze he was standing
sedately and unconcerned upon the
very top of a pile of rocks. At a glance
t could be seen by one not interested
that he w’as in trouble. A closer glance
readily convinced me that he reached
the Pinnacle of his ambitions by at
taining the crest of the miniature
mountain, and like others in this old
world had grown tired of the honor
and yet was unable to throw the glory
and honor away, and resume his plain
and untarnished being again. The first,
glance showed me that if) was an In
reresting situation. There perched the
boy on the rocks, striving valiantly,
though vainly, to appear unconcerned
and ler it appear to the world that he
was enjoying his seat of honor. That
he had attained it by the earnest ef-
