COMING TOGETHER. Porter.
IN ex-Confederate officer, reviewed the
Federal troops at Ash Barracks, Nush-
vile, Tenn, on Monday evening, ut the
invitation of General Pennybeoker, the
commnndant of that post. The novelty
of the scene attracted crowd of between
5000 and 5000 people to the grounds.
The band struck up 'Hail to the Chief, 4"
on the appearance of Governor Porter
and his civilian staff Great enthusiasm
and abundant good feeling marked the
occasion. Thus, in spite of the efforts of
those who constantly seek to revive old
issues and awaken bitter memories, who
invoke spirit of antagonism md use
the weapons of detraction against the
people of the South, the hearts of the
people of all SECTIONS of the country and
in all classes, and more especially in the
military, yearn for peace and good will.
The sentiment of the people of the North
is long way in advance of that of the
National Government. And the army
which, under its direction, had to do
such work as it did in Louisiana, is en-
ployed inSa way far more grateful to
itself when exchanging courtesies, such
as we have the pleasure of reading of as
having occurred at Nashville. The kind
feeling shown at the Charleston Wash
ington Light Infantry Fair is another
equally healthy sign of returning amity
and justice. Only politicians of nm in
fcrior sort have the purpose, moved by a
narrow view Of interest, to keep the peo-
pie longer estranged from each other

Speaking of the "use Governor may
be put to-" the Winnsboro Me,cs says:
"a lock-chain to wagon is sometimes
more to be desired than whole team of
mules, especially when the tendency is
to run down hill. Now all the govern
ments in the United States have that ten
dency developed to q remarkable degree,
and the more they are loaded, the more
they increase their speed. In such cases,
they need the brakes badly, and here the
usefulness of good Governor il made
manifest. If he exercises discretion and
possesses sufficient nerve, he can, in nine
cases out'of ten, defeat any fraudulent
measure that has run the gauntlet in the
Legislature. An insignificant little word
of four letters, a mere mummy, as it
were, o shrivelled remnant of dead
language, exhibited in, the hand of the
Governor, becomes a living, active force
psralyzing tho energies Of any less than
two-thirds of the sapient Solons elected
by the people in its majesty to preside
over, its destinies. This veto power in
the hands of o good Governor, is the
safeguard Of the people jr these corrupt
days, when money and demagoguis
rule the State. Governor Chain nberlain

Prof Huxley, speaking of the origin
of tho horse, gives the following lucid
explanation of it's existence: 1.-The evil
dence, based on the analogy Of known
developmental facts, that a three-toed
Hpparion form, which lived in the Milo
Gene epoch. gave rise by the suppression
of the phnlnnges of the rudimental toes
and some other slight notifications, to
the apparently one-toed later Tertiary
horse, ia as satisfactory to my mind MS
the evidence, based on the analogy of
known structural facts, which leads me
to have no doubt that the said extinct
Hipparion had simple stomach and a
certain kind of heart"

The OPERA HORSE AND CORNER STORE
A correspondent of the Sumter True
So,ahron writes:
In the corner store of the City Hall
building, found that jovial and whole
souled fellow, George Symmers, the
grocer and wine merchant of Columbia.
This is one of the finest stores, and is
located at one of the best stands in the
city. Mr.. Symmers is ON experienced
merchant, and prides himself upon the
quality of his goods. I can assure your
readers TINT they will find everything "as
represented. May no meet the CONT
nued success and prosperity he we'll de-
serves. To his courtesy, your corres-
pondent is indebted for visit to the new
Opera House, up stairs. and an introduc-
ton to the courteous agent thereof, Mr..
Eugene ,Cramer. who took us "behind
the scenes" and showed the various afs
rangements and manipulations of we'll
arranged theatre. Mr. Cramer is an artist
as we'll as o manager, having, with his
own hands, executed nll the scenery
painting for theEstage, and also the hand
some frescoe and other ornamental work
for the interior of the building. Your
citizens can judge, for themselves, of his
skill in this department, as I am informed
that your Mnsio Hall is indebted to him
for some of it's best scenes. Mr.. .Cramer
informed me that he has o very good
company with which rho proposes to
visit the adjacent towns, and may make
an engagement for Sumter.

CHAPTER III.

Let us pass on to the day Of Max
Harold's trial, which was set on q
week from the day on which the
tragedy occurred. His wife and
children we're admitted to see him
twice during the week, and the day
of his trial had now arrived. The
jury, in accordance with the above
facts, rendered q verdict of murder
In the second degree, and fixed his
sentences at twenty years iinprison-
ment. Before passing tho sentence
the judge asked Max If be had any,
thing to say, to which he replied:
Eyes, your honor, I have"
He then proceeded to give an aci
count, in a trembling voice, nearly
choked with emotion. of how he
happened to be bending over the
body Of the murdered man, at the
time Of his apprehension, saying
also:

derer struck his victim while bis

on his face and fainting about the

burst from his lips. "Jeff, old boy,
let's see what's up. You stand
here while l take look over there
in those bushes"
Dismounting quickly, and patting
his horse, jeff" on the neck, he
stepped over some old logs, and
peering through the bushes, from
whence low moan issued, he saw
man lying on his face, with clothes
all torn and bloody, as in q fierce
scuffie, and an ugly stab In his
back, just an inch CT two to the
right of being directly under the
left shoulder blade, and-horror Of
horrors sticking in the gaping
wound was n red-handled frowning
knife, peculiarly made, and which
he at once recognized M belonging
TO himself. Just at that instant the
dying man, (for so he was), by q
powerful effort turned himself part
ly over and exclaimed, "Oh, why
have you done this, MAXI" and, to
his further astonishmcnt, Max saw
In the mud and blood bedaubed
features, those of an old and tried
friend.
Before he could make any reply,
however, three men, who were pass
ing at the instant, and heard the
remark of the now dead inan,
sprang upon him, and he was firm
ly pinioned in a moment. Then,
rising to his feet, one of them said:
"Wall, Max, did not think this
Of you. Would to God had not
seen it."
Poor Max was so utterly bewil-
lered that he could only stammer
out:
"Think whati didn't dot"
Mistaking bis bewilderment for
certain signs of gilt, they took him
back to the village, and, after stating
to his honor, the mayor, what they
bad seen and heard, they left their
prisoner alone in the Jail.
1t would be useless to attempt to
describe the feelings of poor Max,
when they had departed and the
awful nature Of his situation burst
ipon him. Up to this moment it
,ad all seemed to him as but hor-
'ible dream; but the gloomy
walls of the jail could not be iniss
aiken, and the agony Of mind in
which he passed the entire sleepless
light can only he imagined, not
|escribed. In this gloomy sitna-
ion we mist leave him for mo-
nent, and look again into his once
appy home.

The Perjured Juror.

1t was on the evening of sultry
summer day that young man, ap-
parently not past the age of thirty
years, was riding rapidly through
a thick clump of woods which lay
between the public road and q
small farm, of which he had by
hard labor and indomitable perse-
verance become the owner. 1t was
smal! but very rich piece of land,
a limited portion Of which was in
timber, and which adjoined the
thick woods through which he was
riding.
Let us briefly describe the man
and the circumstances which induc-
ed the necessity of a ride to the
village, for that was the place from
whence he had just come. His
name was Maxwell Harold, famili-
arily called "Max" by his friends,
among whom he was q great favor
lie. He was, as we have said, about
thirty years of age. Five years
before, he had met, loved and mar
ried, fair young girl of twenty, a
niece and ward Of the wealthy
George Evanston, who. after dis
couraging to his utmost extent the
advances made by young Harold,
but all to 10 avail, had, upon the
marriage of his niece, forbidden
her all claim henceforth upon him,
either aS guardian or friend. Her
parents had both died when she
was but eight years of age, leaving
her in the care and guardianship
of this uncle, who, up to the time
of her marriage with Max Harold,
had been as indulgent, almost, as
her own father (his brother) Would
have been, but who, being one of
the class of people who never allow
to tome between them
and their purposes, and having in |
his own mind a .suitable" partner
for his niece, had, upon her per-
sistent encouragement and final
marriage with Max Harold, utterly
denounced her forever.
To poor Eva Evanston, .his was
q sad blow upon her castles built in
air; but nothing daunted, she and
Max had gone, hand in hand,
TO work to fight "life's
stormy battle" and, at the time we
them to the reader, had
accumulated enough to make the
upon the little farm; and
was to- pay-tte last, the very last
payment upon the farm that Max
had gone to the village In the morn
ing, leaving bis little family, his
wife, his little black-eyed, brown
haired boy Of four years, and his
little baby girl OF two years, at
home, In their comfortable little
together, aud who were
now anxiously awaiting his return,
as supper had been slready spread,
aud all eyes were bent In the di-
rection in which he was to come.
We will now return to Max, who
we left riding rapidly and merrily
along, thus rnusing 70 himself; Z

waiting, she again went to the door,
and, after listening intently for
some moments, she heard the rapid
approach Of footsteps, and the low
hum of voices. Once she thought
she heard the name OF her Max
mentioned, but as they came near
er, the voices ceased, and in n mo-
ment more the three men who had,
as they thought, but done their du-
ty in the apprehension of Max,
stood before her.
Recognizing them in an instant,
she asked if they had seen or heard
of Max. Unable to contain him
self longer, George birmingham,
the one who had been first to dis
cover the tragic affair in the woods,
and who had been a neighbor to
them since Max had first come into
that part Of the country, burst in
to tears, and endeavored as best he
could to tell her what had happen
ed.
"Mrs. Harold said he, "try and
prepare yourself for the sad intelli-
gence of which I am the unhappy
bearer"
"Oh, what Of MAXI cried Mrs.
Harold. "Is he deadi Speak
quick!"
"No, Mrs. Harold, not dead
Death, in comparison with his pres
ent situation, would be mercy.
He has been arrested for murder,
and I--God help me--was one of
the witnesses to his crime"
"Oh, no-oh, no! I will not-I
cannot believe it'll Oh, my Max
arrested, and for murder! Oh,
merciful God! The purest, best,
and truest man that ever lived. o,
Max, Max, Maxp And, overcome
by the awful tidipgs, she sank
to the floor, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that life could be
restored, for It was all but crushed
out of her.
Aid was summoned as quickly as
possible from the nearest house,
and Mrs. Harold was taken care of,
and little Eva, the baby girl, put
to bed but little Max arose in a
defiant manner, and said:
"Who has dared to put my papa
in Jail! He hasn't done anything
bad, has he, mammal"
mo, Make dear, your papa is
as innocent as you are. Pray, my
son, that he will be taken care Of
by our Heavenly Father, who can
watch over him where he is. Oh,
Max, Max I know you are inno-
cent! God help you and u.s."
Little Make still refused to be
put to bed, but sat by his mother,
doing his best to comfort her, and
telling her that if those had men
who had put his papa in Jail did
not let his out, he would go and
knock the old Jail house down.
Thus passed the night at Max's
home.
