A negro was called to the witness-stand.
"' I object said the council for the prisoner

The prisoner could only protest that he was a

These instances must be regarded as the first

INTERESTING IxcipESr.-In the House Of Rep.
rcseutatives on Saturday, occurred tho follow
ing episode:
Mr.. Barker, of Stctson, said He had motto.

who tends the stand In the rotunda Of tue Hall
to sell us nuts and oranges, candy and postage
stamps. He had found that ho was mother.
less boy. whose father Is soldier. in theinyalid
corps here in Augusta. He Is hired ut ten dol
lars month, by man living in the city, who
has had tho use Of that stand for series Of
years. The Superintendent of the public build
iugs had told him that this man had had the
use of that stand without paying anything TO
the State, and that he (the SUPERINTENDENT did
not desire to move in the matter OF n change
without some order from tho Legislature. In
talking with that boy, he had found that the
capital invested Is about S35, pnd from 1t his
employer realizes profit Of about S250 per
day. He preferred that tho boy should have
the profits Of that trade, and would, therefore (,
introduce the following:
Ordered, That the Superintendent OF Public
Buildings be required to give the exclusive use
of the stand now occupied by him, In the ro-
tunda of the Capitol, to Charles +. Kendrick
during the present session of the Legislature.
The order passed by q unanimous vote. Mr..
Barker, assisted by Capt. Deering, then receiy.
cd contributions from members.
Mr.. Barker subsequently, announced 70 the
House that the collection just taken up In be.
half of the little boy in the rotunda, had yielded
the sum Of S6l, and which he must hasten to
place In the little fellows hand, as his capital
with which to do business.

A CoyrRABAND SOLDIER AND HIS wATcH.-A
letter from one Of our officers at Point lsabel,
Texas, among various anecdotes OF our colorcd
soldiers, relates tho following:
eft Is amusing to see how completely nom
plussed some Of our privates are in the posses
sion Of their money. Some never had dime
In their lives to call their own, and could not
distinguish between one. two or fye dollar
grcen6ack. One fellow paid ten dollars for q
watch, and his Lieutenant noticing 1t, inquired
the time Of day. -, :,
'Lor', Cap'n,' replied the darkey. (they call
every officer cap'n,) ldunno' dye 'spose can
tell!'
'Wby. for what did you waste your money
for a watch. thcnl' asked the Lieutenant.
Whereupon the darkey broke into loud laugh,

A year ago, at eventide,
My husband sat here by my side
Tonight sit alone.

The wind makes ftful moan;
while I Sit here and think Of him
Who left me thus alone.

He brought them mel was his BRIDE
But soon laid the wreath aside,
And II Is withered now.
Our home-my Ernest's home and mine-
Once bright with pleasant cheer,
Is lonely now the light OF hope
Burns dim my spirits sink and droop-
For Ernest Is not here.
In vain tune my harpslohord
To waken music gayj
The spirit OF my lutte Is sad,
Nor can make Its music glad
While Ernest Is away.
Yet here linger, when II seems
can no longer stay,
Alone read Gods blessed Word,
While sweetest memories are stirred
Alone i kneel to pray.
Will he return, know not now
What Is to DO his nate.
But if We meet on earth no more,
trust that on the golden shore
lie for his bride will wait.
We shall meet there. Yes. thank God
Though here We walk alone,
We there may wander, hand In hand,
Beside the crystal stream. and stand
Together near the throne.
