A happy young bridal party went down
from Peoria on the railroad the other
morning. The blnshins young bride
thrust her head out of the Car window as
the train started off, and, after looking
around for moment or two, suddenly
jerked her head back with Il quick ex-
clamation. and buried her face in her
hands. Her loving. frightened husband
sought to learn the cause of her dismay,
AMI offered feeble consolation: What
is it, darling? What frightened it dear?
What makes it cry?" There wasn't
much to cry about to he sure; oh, no.
Darling had only dropped set of glitter
ing front teeth out OF the window, that
WAS all. The sad affair has cast gloom
over the entire community.

GEORGE W. DARGAN.

Chancellor Dargan was born in
the eastern part of the State; grad
uated in the South Carolina Col.
lege, and for many years represent.
cd his native District in the State
Senate, He was a most devoted
States Rights man, nullifer,
secessionist and disunionist. His
boast for many years was, that he
had never been beyond the limits
of South Carolina, and hoped
never to be under the necessity of
going ont Of the State. In the lat
ter part of his life l inquired of
him if he had adhered to his pur.,
pose of mover going beyond the
limits Of the Statea He said he.
had once been out of the State,
but he kept it. q secret as well as
he could, and said nothing about
it! He regarded South Carolina
as his country, his whole country,
and all beyond her limits as aliens
and foreignersl He was devoted
to tie State, and to the State alone,
her honor and her glory. He once
said to me: "You old fogies may
be Union men, rand glorlfy the
Union, because you have been ed.
ucated and brought up in that
school, but the rising generation
will scorn that Union and sever it
into fragments. Mark what l tell
YOU" a.. ... 'a F..
When was admitted to the bar,
I saw, for the first, time, Chancellor
DarganA He was then a young
lawyer of promise and talents, rap
edly rising in his profession, and
his friends had great expectations
of his future success and e,ninence.
But l had no particular acquain.
tance or intimacy with him till we
met as Senators in the State Leg.
islatnre. In that body we served
together several years-always OPP
posed to each other, and became
warm friends. When he was elect.
ed Chancellor and resigned his
seat in etl,e Senate, he came to
where was sitting to bid me fare
we'll, and said: IL was thinking,
last night, that 1t was something
remarkable that! we had been sc
long associated together in this
body, entertaining a high respect
for each other, and both coDscien
tious men as we thought ouI selves,
and yet we had never voted to-
gether on any great or important
question which divided the Sen
ate" 1 said to him playfully
there is an, old adge, that "grea,
minds will think alike" but there
are exceptions to this rule. '''
Chancellor Dargan was as pure
man as, ever lived. He was a.
simple as child in his manners
and department. He was unpre
tending and unambitious. In hi,
personal appearance he was very
plain and extremely homely-
though I think he was a hand
somer man than Chief Justic,
Taney. 10 fact he was not unlik,
Chief Justice fancy in his fac,
and person. And ! might say
there was a similarity in thei
talents, acqpiremepts and minds
