WEDNESDAY, JUNE %, 1881.

The papers are discussing with
renewed vigor the question of re
sponsibiltiy for the burning of COLI
umbia, S. c., during the late war.
1t is question that will never be
settled, perhaps Those who want
to hold General Sherman RESPONSE
ble will do so, regardless of testi-
mony, while those who believe it
was done by General Hamptons
men will believe it. It is sufficient,
so far as the government is con-
cerned, to know that the testimony
has been heard by commission
called to pass upon certain claims
made against the government, and
that commission decided against the
validity of the claims, thus vindicat
ing General Sherman. For our
own part, we do not believe the cons
handing general of either army is
responsible for the burning 1t may
have been fired by irresponsible per
sons in the Confederate or in the
Federal army. But large quantity
of cotton was stored there, and we
know that it was the policy of the
Confederates to burn cotton to pre-
vent it from falling into the hands 0.

this furnishes the explanation of The
burning of Columbia.

literary vitality shall continue or cease
on this ground, which is generally
thought to be consecrated to fruitful
thought and Imagination. Meanwhile
inspiration. breadth of sympathy and
aims, and all tendency to express
sturdily strong ideas and sentiments Of
national or general value, are being
sacrificed to the desire for specializing
culture. Perhaps Harvard thinks It's
proper duty better fulfilled by educat-
ing the average undergraduate mind in
accordance with higher standard than
heretofore. But it is aquestion whether
it shonld encourage actual production in

An honest Ticket Agent.

DON Piatt tells this in q recent mum.
Der of the Washington Capital:
A reformed ticket agent, now engaged
in mercantile pursuit, and who looks
back with profound melancholy and re.
morse to his wicked career, as he sailed
in as ticket agent, told me that once,
in his sinful days, he was employed at
Chicago on the through line from that
Incorporated Boreas on the lake to New
York city, which, made up of new
combination, was "bucking" against
Vanderbilt. To extend it's custom the
combination had at Chicago corps of
able-bodied runners, to seize wayfarers
by the throat and fetch them up to the
ticket agent, where the innocent traveller
was to be talked into ticket over the
combination.
One day an able-bodied rufian came,
leading up q rough-looking customer,
who wished to purchase ticket to New
York by the way of Cleveland. The
combination did not touch Cleveland.
But evidently the old white-hatted,
loose-trousered, coarse-booted country
man, with his white head and goggling
look, did not know what he wanted. It
was for the ticket agent to care for him,
and SO he ratified on, with ticket in hand,
until the venerable, goggle-eyed old
nufde toes had extracted from fat wallet
the price and shambled awkwardly away.
s'Say, old fellow" asked friend who
happened to be in the office, ''do you
know who you sold ticket to then ?"
''Some old fool of corn-cracker."

the Tr.b .bune will give your combination
the devil for the swindle."
.'That's so. Kare, put your cheek to
this hole till find him,
Away ran the ticket ageEt, It was not
difficult to find the hotel at which the
venerable philosopher lodged The
ticket agent found him in the reading
room, pouring over stale issue of the
Tribune. He tapped Horace on the
shoulder, and the philosopher looked up
with the child like expression of his that
seemed to come out from open eyes and
mouth.
ST beg your pardon" said the agent,
'"but sold you q ticket to New York
while since, and made mistake"
''In the money. 1 suppose" replied
Horace, dryly.
s'No, sir; in the route. I remembered
after you left you said Cleveland. Now
the ticket I gave you will not take you to
Cleveland"
.'The hell it don't!'' cried Greeley,
starting up.
tsWell, young man, can tell you that
would be great disappointment in
Cleveland"
"I don't know anything about that;
but I did not want any man to miss his
way through any fault of mine. So I've
been in every hotel in Chicago after
you.''

from his capacious pocket the ticket of
the combination, you are very good; too
good, come to think of it, too damned
good for ticket agent. Leave that,
good young man, before your innocent
nature is corrupted, or your damned

An Absent Minded Man.

The Hartford Courant says that q
curious demonstration of absent-minded-
ness occurred at the New York and New
England Railroad hearing in that city.
The original dispatch of instruction to
Conductor Aldritch, in violating which
he met his death, was put into evidence
and was passed about the room. One
gentleman with whom it lodged held it
a while and then began carelessly twist
ing it up as one does bit of waste paper.
The hearing went on, and by and by,
some one asked for the dispatch. It
could not be found. One person thought
he saw it being twisted by the gentle
man alluded to, but the latter did not
remember having it. An adjournment
to hunt for it failed to reveal it. Finally
when the bearing was over it was found
on the floor, twisted into little bunch,
where it had been dropped by the absent
minded gentleman who had forgotten he
had ever had it.

ABOUT SNEEZING.

Sneezing, and the manner il
which the sneeze is sneezed, is O
very interesting study in itself
No two people sneeze exactly alike.
A two months study of this spas
modic practice has fully demon
strated the fact that there is as much
individuality in The sneeze of the
average man or woman as there is
in tue laugh, the conversation, the
walk, or the handwriting. Some
men and woman sneeze as though
the effort caused them intense pain,
while others appear to enjoy
the titillating sensation in their
and enter into the spirit of
the act with pleasure depicted upon
every lineament of their features.

A FAMOUS MISER.

Vandille, remarkable French
miser. was at one time Mayor O
Boulcgne, and while in that posi-
tion partly maintained himself by
being milk-taster general at the
market. While munching a scrap
of bread he would take gratuitous
draughts. He always travelled to
Paris on foot, and, fearful lest he
should be robbed, took good care
never to have more than tbreepence
in his pocket; if he needed more
money, he begged on the road. By
such methods. and lending money
to the French government, he made
fortune Of 9s5O.OO0. sprung from
single shilling.
During the very cold winter of
1884, he found it necessary to pur-
chase some extra fuel, and en-
deavored to beat down the wood
merchant in his price. The man
drove of, and Vandille stole a few
logs from the back of the cart. In
fastening away with them, he be-
came overheated and contracted a
bad fever. He sent for the surgeon,
telling him he wanted to be bled. As
the surgeon charged half a livre,
which he thought was too much, al
barber was called in, who agreed to
open vein for threepence.
"But, friend" said the cautious
miser, chow often Wilt be requisite
to bleed me?''
"Three times" replied the barber.
"Three times! And, pray, what
quantity of blood do you intend to
take from me at each operation?"
"About eight ounces each time.
"That will be ninepence; too
much! too much! I know a cheaper
way; take the whole twenty-four
ounces at once, and that will save
me sixpence."
