TRUE STORY.
EE RXEw It, BECAUSE HE WAS THERE.

\ young sailor, who had been
rowing round the world for several
years, on returning to his home, was
constantly and annoyingly lionizcd
on account Of his having had per
sonaI relations with cannibals. an
acondas, whales, sharks, elephants,
tigers, pirates, ard other creatures
which inspire the untrayclcd mind
with terror. He hated, .aboye all
things, 10 ''spin yarns" but still he
was constantly beset to do so. Reing
at 4 party, one evening, he was, rs
usual, iInportuned to ''spin them a
yarn," and finally, at the request OF
his father. he related the following
narrowing tale, the circumstances
mentioned in which he saw with his
own eyes:
"As one of the Panama steamers
was leaving the harbor Of Havana, a
beautiful widow lady, named How
ard, vas standing by the gunwail, OF
which her son, q little boy some
years old, was sitting, playing on
sugar f~ageolet, which his fond mother
had purchased for him in port, Of al
ingenious Spanish confectioner. The
child was greatly delighted with th'
toy, and blew vigorously, while Mrs
Howard seemed to enjoy the littl'
fellows delight as much as he enjoy
ed the f~iageolet. The transcenden
beauty Of the mother and the angel,
loneliness Of the child rivetcd ever,
eve that observed them, and va
rious were the spcculations advanced
as to their history. After some time
a sailor shouted, n shark-a shark B..
and every body crOwed to see tn
huge creature that was swimmin.
alongside the vessel. As the passen
gers were rema"king upon the appear
ancc OF the shark, q shrek was sud
denly hcard-then a splash; and a
quick as lightning the ravenous mon
ster dariad upon his prey.
Little Tommy Howard had falle
from the gunwale, and the widowe,
mother was now childless.
Mrs. Howard, who had tainted
was carried below in a state Of inser
sibi!ity.
The shark still swan by the yes
sells side. Some Of the men deter
mined, if possible, to aycnge it'll
Tommy's death and, batting a hug
hook with a piece OF fresh beef, the
cast il overheard. Almost Instant
the shark swallowed it; and fifty stai
warJ arms pulled Justify ut the stOr
rope. He was an immense monste
and struggled violently. As soon q
his nose Was pulled well out Of til
water, a number Of C%aliiornlans be
gan TO practice pistol-shooting at hi
eyes. Their balls soon Tut a quietu
upon him, and he was hauled, lifeles
aud limb, on board. When his hug
bulk had been stretched along tn
deck, it was proposed that he Shout
be opened, and the remaIns Of Oh
boy taken from his stomach and give
Christian burial. The proposition
was Immediately acted upon, and 500
tie carcass was laid open; when, {
4he utter establishment of everybody
the 10y was found snugly seated be
tween a couple OF the monsters ribs
still playing bis f~iageolet:'

Fighting Dick Anderson

The following letter from the Co.
lumbia Register will strike rcspon-
sive chord III the hearts Of the thou
sunds who remember "Fighting Dick
Anderson" and the magnificent divis-
ion he commanded. It is indeed a
matter for deep regret that he should
seem to be forgotten when SO many
others who did less than he in the
days when men proved their metal
have been so generously rewarded:
FAIRFIELD, S. c., December II.
Are we all ungratcful people, and
have we forgotten nll that was glori-
GUS in the past2 Have We ceased to
think of those we honorcd and some
OF us followed on many glorious and
bloody fields in our late struggle for
constitutional freedom? The South
Carolinian who held the highest rank
in the Confederate army has earned
his bread since the war as on humble
clerk, seeking nothing, asking for
nothing, content with a living made
by daily toll, until want Of employ
ment has driven him from our borders
to seek employment i'll another State.
I refer to II. II. Anderson, once q
Lieutenant General in the Confederate
army-an educated and high-toncd
gentleman, and whose worth is only
equalled by bis modesty. There arc
those living in South Carolina who
would blush to know that the State
has place to give that would be
acceptable to and be good living for
General Anderson, and that hc has
1t not. mean tho place Of Supcrin-
tcndent Of the State Pcnitentiary; and
If the authorities that be are satisfied
the present incumbent carpet-bagger
has had the place long enough, for
Gods sake make u vacancy, and put
In r. II. Anderson--the best and
purcst Of men, the bravest Of the
brave. What say those Of his old
