The Twenty Inch Oak Cut Down with
a g8T ~ Bullets. lnj.5 sf

The Abbeville Is. c. Press and Ban !,
ner, in noticing General McGowan's re-
port of the battles Of the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania Courthouse, says: u,
We are informed that the stump
of the tree, cut down by, myriads of
musket balls, referred to by General
McGowah, has been uprooted. removed
to Washington, and is now on exhibition
there at the War Department.. 1t was
displayed at the Centennial Exhibition,
at Philadelphia, as a remarkableevidence
of bravery and endurance Of soldiers
in battle. It certainly affords the high
est evidence possible of the intensity and
duration of a musketry fire, and of the
devotion of the soldiers who could stand
such fire. But it must not be forgot
ten that it was not the Federals, but the
Confederate soldiers who received that
fire. The tree stood within " the Bloody
ANGLE" a few steps In rear. Of the Con-
federate trenches, and every ball which
struck it was discharged from Federal
rifle, and passed over the boys in gray,
and struck the tree in their rear. i5
Colonel A. P. Butler, now the hon
orable Senator from Aiken County, then
commanding the First South Carolina
Regiment was very near the tree, wit
messed the whole processiofT" sealing
and saw it when it fell upon and injured
some of his men. The diameter OF the
tree was measured by the sword of Gen.
eral Wilcox and found to be twenty
inches. The incident is perfectly well
authenticated, and, isscertainly one Of
the most interesting in the annals Of
war.

They Knew He Meant 1t,

When "a newly married widower
passed crowd'who were standing on
First-street last week one of the party
remarked :1Trmi .ules-s3 ~
T" He waited long time before he
hitched onto his second wife, didn't
he?"
GLOW long ago did his first wife die?p
queried a subdued looking stranger, who
was standing near. 3
Tho party figured that it had been
about four years. ~ usit
g /" Teo .soons too soon," mused the
stranger; :" if my wife. should die I'd
never get married again" -. -:,i
The moisture that gathered in the
strangers eyes engulphed the crowd in
a sea ofsympathy, and when he bowed
his head, and they saw the marks of a
rolling-pin behind his ear, and observed
that several tufts of hair were missing
from his scalp, they knew that he meant
what he said. -;,.z.,

The Rev. DR.. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, once had a body-servant who had
lived with him so long that he had i'm
bibed something of his theology, and
considered himself we'll posted in all the
doctrines Of the Presbyterian Church.
On one occasion he was attending a
Methodist meeting, and the preaching
which he there heard was so different
from that to which he had been accus.
toned that he felt it. to be his duty to
publicly announce his dissent. Where
upon. he was told to sit down and keep
quiet, He restrained himself for few
minutes, when he rose again and pro-
nounced the sermon to be downright
heresy. He was arrested and taken be-
fore a justice, who found him guilty of
distur bing religious meeting. Before
pronouncihg sentence the judge ad-
dressed the culprit as follows: s
"Sam, I have known you, since you
were boy. / knew your father and
mother. II am well acquainted with
your master and mistress, and because
of my friendship for them | shall be
lenient with you The penalty for the
crime Of which you have been convicted
is nine-and-thi stripes, The majesty
Of the law must be maintained, but
. have power to mitigate its severity. Mr.
Constable, take Sam out land give hin
