The Wust He Ever Seed.

THERE was quite commOtion caused
on Dryades Street, near Common, last
night, by spirited dispute between an
old and young man of the African
persuasion. OF course woman, or
rather girl, was at the bottom of the
trouble. The old man stood in the
doorway, and shaking his fist at the
object of his wrath who lowered on the
ragged edge of the banquette, ex-
claimed:
"Now look hyar, young man! 1
done tole you three times to distrac'
desc premises and huff dat gal lone.
amt raised her for no black pup like
you, and she amt gwine to frow hirself
away to no drunken niggah nohow!
Now if 1 catch you snoozin' roun' dat
gal agin, Use gwine to confine myself to
more fussible argument wild de help
OBJ good pair of heels. Now you min
dat.'
The young man at first seemed in
clined to pursue a pacific policy, but,
noticing the jeering and laughing of the
crowd, changed his mind, and shaking
his fist in return gave vent to his feelings
in this manner:
"Misser Taylor, you knows likes
Bermuda and de gal likes me too, and
Use gwine to hab her and if fifty ole
niggers 'ud stand in de way, an if you
waren't Bermuda's father I'd a cut
shoe strings outer yer ole skin long
ago!"
The old mans eyes dilated, whilst
the smile of demon stole over his face,
and sliding swiftly into the house he re-
turned moment later with pistol as
big as good sized rifle, the muzzle of
which could successfully compete with
one of Krupp's forty Founders. He
pointed the Internal machine at his
would-be son-in-law and said:
+" Yer is gwine to cut shoe strings
outer dis ole man, ehp Now, you see
dis ere pistolp It's filled one-half wild
powder an de oder half with buckshot,,
an if you doont board the gospel ship
right now and sail outer sight in half a
mint I'll let her go an yer can pick up
what's left OBJ yer!"
The young man and about a dozen
of the crowd standing near him did sail
out of sight around the nearest corner
in less than half a minute, whilst the
old man, watching the exodus, gleefully
exclaimed:
"Dar's muffin in dat pistol, an de

A. Crutch in a Car.

AwELL-KNowNlady of Boston entered
a crowded horse-car recently and stood
up without complaint, though rheuma-
tism in one foot troubled her greatly.
Her indignation against the seated oc-
cupants of the car was excited, howev-
er, when girl with crutch was OBJ
served leaning against the car door,
while the male American citizens were
seemingly glued to their seats and look
ing around in every other direction but
where the unfortunate girl was stand
ing. The w. k. |. stood amazed, and
waxed more and more indignant, at the
same time doubtful if she were in Boston
-" culchawed" Boston-where the men
were proverbial for their gallantry to
the fair sex, and while meditating on
the subject she was aroused by an indi-
vidual who informed her that she could
have his seat, at the same time remark
ing that he was "getting off here"
The latter remark was made, probably,
to quell any fears that might be enter
tanned of his disturbing himself on her
account. The lady was rather sur
prised at the seat being offered to her
instead of the passenger with the crutch,
and omitted to thank the man; but with
the instructive courtesy which belongs
to q kind and benevolent heart, prof
fered the vacant upholstered space to
her helpless fellow-passenger, who ac-
cepted it after many protestations. AT
ter riding several blocks the young lady
with the crutch arose, put that wooden
implement under the arm of an old lady
opposite, and, with the remark, awe
get out here, mother" helped the ven
cradle dame out of the car, bestowing
as she passed an angelic and bland smile
on the W. k. l. The W. k. |. was aroused
from her fainting fit by the conductor
yelling, "Boston and Maine Railroad !"
Moral-Before wasting sympathy on
the possessor of crutch be sure that it
is used by the same party.-BoStoas

A Remarkable Coincidence.

IN 1853 four gentlemen started their
sons at boarding-school at Cokesbury,
S G. They had been for years init
m ate friends and clergymen in the Meth
odist Church. These boys remained at
this school room-mates and classmates
for two years, and entered Wofford Col
lege, standing relatively first, second,
third and fourth in large class. They
remained at this institution four years,
were room-mates all the time, gradual
ing relatively, first, second, third and
fourth. They entered law office at
Spartanburg, and studied law under the
same chancellor. The war broke out,
ard at the call for troops they all en-
tered Jenkins s. rifle regiment from South
Carolina, and were messmates in the
same company. Being near the same

Mr.. FRANCIS FoNTAINE, Commission

of Georgia, asserts that no cotton mills
in the world have been so profitable as
those of Georgia during the past decade
The Chattahoochee River, at Columbus,
furnishes one of the best water powers
in the world; and at this point are
10000 spindles in operation. One
company at Columbus has a mill en-
ploying 1900 operatives, all natives ex-
cept the foremen, and manufacture over
one hundred varieties of goods. They
use $4,000 bales of cotton per annum
and 800 lbs. of washed wool daily, and
pay out 100000 per annum.

Southern States-6S7 ,200-are distrib-

Harvard's Big Kitchen.


THE Dining Association has ninety
employees beside its steward. A fem
horse power engine, burning two TONS
of coal per day, heats the building and
supplies steam for the cooking and hak-
ing, but when Sanders's Theatar is
heated third ton of coal is reon;red.
The great soup-kettle holds 220 gallons.
and is said to be the largest kettle ever
cast in this country. Only ITO gallons
of soup, however, are required for the
daily dinner. The oatmeal-kettle holds
tifty-five gallons, and that for cracked
wheat twenty gallons; but not quite,
although very nearly, this amount is
consumed daily. The great range.
twenty-five feet long, contains four
ovens, and does all the frying and heat
ing plates, etc. There are seven kettles
for boiling meats and five for vegetables,
and none of them of very small size,
while the great charcoal CRATE will
easily broil steak for $50 men. But the
most astounding parts of the culinary
arrangements are the two great ovens,
one for baking meats and one for bread
and pies. The first will cook at once
1000 pounds of meat and the other $50
pies. They are by no means too large,
however, since from 800 to 1,000pounds
of meat are consumed daily and some
ninety loaves of graham and seventy
five of white bread. The heat never
leaves the pastry oven from one month
to another.
Elbow much flour do you use, pr,
day?" 1 asked.
"We average at least barrel and a
half" was the reply.

Some delicious-looking butter was I'M
packed from huge box, and learned
that seventy-tive pounds were daily used
tor the tables and about the same amount
for cooking. That the students had not
gone hungry on that day was conclu-
sively shown from the fact that at
breakfast $50 pounds of rump steak and
seventy-five pounds of fish had been
consumed; that the larder contained
for the dinner 800 pounds of turkey and
500 pounds of beef; that 100 gallons of
milk (the daily allowance) and forty
buildings of large size were ins store,
while twelve immense pans of ginger
bread were being prepared for the
oven.
Not the least interesting feature of the
establishment is the laundry, with its
washing machines, its huge wringer,
which will revolve 1900 times per min.
ute, and its expensive mangle, which
cost $3.50. Altogether there has been,
within two years, $4,000 worth of ma.
chinery put in; and the arrangements,
including the dumb-waiters moved by
hydraulic pressure, are all superb

in battle in this regiment. At the Sec

shell from the enemy's battery fell in the
ranks of this company, killed these four
boys, and none other in the company.
They are buried on the battlefield and
sleep together in the same grave. Their
names are Capers, McSwain, Smith and
Duncan, and are the sons of Bishop Ca
