AN INTERESTING REMINIscENCE.-
During the Notification controversy
at Charleston in 1892, it is well known
that Gen. Scott was present, in com
nland OF the troops at Fort Moultrie.
At one of the excited meetings in the
circus, Gov. James Hamilton declared
that he had resolved to put the pur-
pose of the Government in the collec-
tion of duties to the test--that some
sugar would arrive which would be
the occasion of this test, and that che
would go to the death for the sugar. "
Good watch was kept. The vessel
with the twelve boxes of sugar came
in. She was signaled, and not heav-
ing to, shot was fred from the fort
before her bow. She came to The
sugar was taken out and landed in the
fort, where it remained until the con-
troversy was at an end, when it was
delivered to the consignee.
Not long after large fire broke
out in Charleston, which was espied
by Gen. Scott while he was standing
on the rampant. He instantly ordered
a body OF three hundred soldiers to
the relief of the burning town. They
fastened to the scene of the confia-
grafton, and as they were advancing
a person rushed up in great alarm,
and begged them to save his sugar
house. Come on boys" cried out
Capt. Rings old, "saye the building,
go to the death for the sugar" The
building was saved-the fire extin-
gnished.
Such are the men whom the excited
people of Charleston may be stimula-
ted to attack. Let them remember
this incident, and above all, let them
remember the old hero, (Scott) now
mediating for the peace and the hon
or of the country, the support of the
laws and the constitution, as humane
to the suffering, as he is faithful to the
interests and warm to the feelings of
the whole people of these United
States, North and South, East and
West.

The truth must be told, startling as
It is-the bugs were too numerous,
too strong and voracious to permit
him to rest in peace. So, resuming
his garments, he made for the Office,
in no very amiable frame of mind, and
addressing the clerk, the following
conversation ensued : -
Stranger--Say! have you a good
strong porter about the house :?
Clerk eagerly Yes, we have the
strongest one in the State.
Sranger-Is he intelligent?
Clerkt-Oh, yes-quite intelligent
for q porter, we think.
Stranger-o One point more. Do
you consider him fearless-that is,
bold and courageous?

strong enough to get my trunk away

have him bring it down.
