INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
While the crowd were dispensing after
the unveiling, the band played Dixie,
and the crowd, rs the familiar notes
broke upon their ears, rent the air with
cheers.
The wreath of flowers which was
placed upon the bayonet of the statute
by member of the Riclland Volunteers
was presented for that purpose by lady
whose sons had been killed whilst serv-
ing in that company.
The Kershaw Guards, of Camden,
were represented in the procession by a
detachment of twenty-five men under
command of Captain j. j. Mackay. The
flag carried By this company went out in
the war with Captain J. d. Kennedy's
company, the Camden Light Infantry, in
1861.
Across the street from the Register
office was suspended the municipal flag
of the city of Charleston, sent up by j.
Francis Britton, Esq, member of the
House of Representatives from Charles
ton.
The lady friends Of the Register deco
rated the entire front of the office with
wrcaths cncrcling the names of Confed-
crate Generals and of important battles
of the late war, and over the door they
placed the letters G. S. a. in evergreens
draped in the colors red, white and blue.
On the door was the following motto
worked in arbor vitH: CLAW and liberty,
the true reward of the citizen soldier" "
The reverend and gallant Colonel Eli
son Capers, of the Twenty-fourth South
Carolina Volunteers, brought up the
frayed, smoke-bcgrimed and shot-torn
flag of his old regiment. During the
war it was penetrated by nearly one hun
dred proiectilcs-shot, shell and bullets.
When General ,Jollnston's army surren-
dered some of the members Of the regi-
ment cut the stars from their flag to retain
testimonials of their services. AT the
battle of Chickamauga every man who
undertook to sustain the color5 was shot
down. The company which carried this
flag was captain W. l.. Roddy's company,
from Chester, and that veteran of many
hard, d,iought field (now living at Rock
IIill) carried the flag in the procession
yesterday.

ACES OF ANiMAIS.--Ihc average age OF
sheep is ten years; UP 20 that age obey viii
breed and thrive. There are instances how
ever, of their living to more advanced age,
and isolated cases, a. long rs twenty years
Cows have an average of fifteen years although
rs with sheep and other domestic animals, they
often exceed their allotted time, Rings on
their horns indicate their are after they arrive
ut the age Of three years. At four years old a
ring is formed at the root Of the horn, and
every succeeding year another is added, thus
by allowing three years, and adding the mum.
Der of rings, it is easy to arrive at the animals
age. Hogs have been known to live for forty
years, though their average is much less. The
average of the horse is twenty years, but as
beasts of burden they seldom attain that age
When kindly treated however and well pro
vided for they will exceed twenty and instances

of fifty. The longevity Of the elephant is great

An Extraordinary Sentence.

The following extract is taken from a sen.
tcncc recently pronounced by Judge Reading
of Morris, H., upon the liquor dealers who
had violated the law by selling liquor to
minors:
by the law you may sell to men and WON.
Tn, if they will buy, You have given your
bond and paid your license TO sell to them, and
no man has a right to modest you in your legal
business. No matter what families are dis.
tracted and rendered miserable; no matter
what children starve or mourn over the degrs-
dation of II parent, your business is legalized
and no one may interfere with you in 1t. No
matter what mother may agonizc over the loss
of son, or sister blush at the shame OF "a
brother YOU have u right to disregard them all
and pursue your legal calling-you are icens-
ed. You may III up your lawful place Of bus
mess in the most cntClng and captivating
form You may furnish l! with the most cost.
ly and elegant equipments for your own lawful
profit; YOU may fill II with allurcments OF
amusement; you may use all the arts to in.
duce visitors you may skilltully arrange and
expose to view your choicest wines and most
captivating beverages, you may then induce
thirst by all c"n'rvances to produce raging
appetite for drink, ana then you may supply
that appetite to the full, because il is lawful
you have paid for it-you have license. You
may allow boys, almost children, TO frequent
your saloon; they may witness the apparent
satisfaction with which their seniors quaH the
sparkling glass; you may be schooling and
training them for the period of 81, when they,
too, can participate, for this Is lawful. You
may hold the cup to their lips, you must not
let them drink-that is unlawful For while
you have all these privileges for the money
you pay, tins poor privilege OF selling to chill
lrcn is denied you Their parents have the
right to say, Leave my son to me until the law
gives you the privilege to destroy him. Do not
anticipate that terrible moment when | can
assert for him no further rights of protection.
That will be soon enough for me, for his moth
er, for his sister, for his friends and for this
community to see him take his road to death.
Give him To Us in his childhood at least, Let
us have f"w hours of his YOUTH in which
We can enjoy his innocence, to repay Us in a
small degree for the care and love we have
lavishcd upon him This is something which
you who now stand prisoners at the bar have
not paid for this is not embraced in your
Incense. For this ottrnsc the court sentences
you to ten days Imprisonment IN the county
Jail, and that you pay hne OF $50 and costs
