correspondent of the Belfast Journal
says that sergeant in . Maine regiment
~hen Ill was ordered by a brutal quarter
master to chop wood, and knocked down oe-
cause he did not comply. The Quartermaster
reported the sergeant for disobedience of
duty. and he was degraded to the ranks At
Gettysburg the degraded sergeant fell fatally
wounded. His thin, blue lips curled in scorn-
ful derision, and he muttered, They reduced
me to the ranks, but will show them that
am not afraid to die" Col. Chamberlain

kneit by his side. Il WAS disgraced," hoarse-
iy whispered the dying hero. ''You are now
exonerated and promoted to a sergeancy."
exclaimed the chivalrous officer. A sweet
smile played upon the wan features. a look
OF satisfaction came TO the hungry eyes. and
he was dead. In the national cemetery at

Maine volunteers. The quartermaster re-
turned to Maine at the close cf the war. A
few years later kilograms were flying over
the State with the intelligence that there had
been an attempted robbery of the Lime Rock
bank at Rockland, that the burglars had been
arrested, and that among them was a promi-
nent business man of that place. As the
members of our old regiment read his name
they saw it was the quartermaster of whom
have been writing. He was tried. found
guilty, and sentenced to serve term Of years
IN the State prison. As saw him in the la
Dor gang at Thomaston, dressed in his con-
vict's garb, could not help thinking of the
little affair At Stoneman's Switch, and of
Sergeant Bucks honored grave At Gettysburg.

and then painted in vivid colors, the crime,
suffering and death which their use entail
He then held up the legal and moral remedies
which society can employ to protect itself
from the traffic and 20 save the victims. Mr.

white teeth are more frequently seen than
formerly. This is because our ladies have
given the seal of their appreciation to SOZO-
DON'T, foremost among toilet articles. This
superlatively pure and salubrious preparation
checks the further decomposition of the teeth,
removes impurities which obscure their nat
ural hue. strengthens them and makes the
gums as ruddv and hard as coral, and COM

Willie Grant, son of +. w. Grant, boy
about 10 years old, living in a house in the
rear of the old Concert Hall on State street,
met with serious accident on Friday after
landing at the top of an outside flight of
stairs, when tine rotten wood gave way and
he was precipitated upon the ice below,
distance of more than 10 feet, striking on his
head and shoulders. The boy lay there insen-
sible for some time before any one knew of the
fall. He was then taken into the house, and
DR.. Webster summoned. In addition to the
blow on the right side of the face the .ymp
toms would seem to indicate that there may
be fracture of the base of the skull.

Secure your eats for Gus Williams, Tue

Secure your seats for Gus Williams, Tues
day night. Tickets are selling rapidly and
Granite Hall will be well filled. We need
speak no words of commentator for this
trost Ie. Gus Williams is too well known in
Augusta to require any introduction. Lovers
of merriment, who desire to laugh until the
tears come, should be present. Speaking of
the German Senator the Philadelphia
Record says:
1t is certainly an original character and has
no counterpart in the wide range of farcia
Teutons of the stage. Mr.. Dinkel, who is a
Western brewer, living in retirement, is pre-
vailed upon by firm of landowners and
pension agents to present himself as a candi
date for United States Senator. He becomes
involved in all kinds of intricate dilemmas
in conducting his campaign, but
finally, after a canvas that was characterized
by the drollest incidents and lau shter-pr"vok-
ing situations, he secures the object OF his
ambition. Mr. Williams cannot open his lips
indeed. he cannot present his person upon
scene-without exciting the rislbiities ot the
audience. There is nothing forced or exay
gerated about his humor. He does not seem
to be making any attempts to draw a laugh
His acting is natural expression of the
ludicrous. and though his German dialect as
,i,ts him in his comical situations, he does
not depend on it alone for his success There
is an exquisite delicacy of self restraint, a
repression of the tendency to exaggerate,
that lends charm to Mr. Williams persona
ton and shows that he has given to 1t much
faithful study. The whole performance was
intensely amusing, and although the rest of
the company is not above the average merit
the genial German senator so irradiates
the stage with his fun-making presence that
their weakness is entirely lost sight of.

The Augusta Grammar school now has
library of about go volumes, which have
been collected in little over year. The
books are all healthful and instructive, as
well as interesting, consisting of works OF
travel, discovery and exploration, histories
Biographies and some stories by the best
writer's for the young. Generous donations
have been made by Hon. Joseph a. Homan,
Hon. ]. W. Bradbury, DIR. w. b. Lapham'
Mrs. Governor Cony and Mrs. Manley. The
scholars show their appreciation of the libra
~ by almost universally availing themselves
OF its treasures; and as the principal requires
each scholar to write short essay upon the
book which he takes out, before he can draw
another, it will be seen that the library Is
quite factor in the education of the boys
and girls. Mr.. Robertson contemplates pur-
chasing sciopticon (something like
stereopticon) which he will use to illustrate
lessons in Geography and History. Ihe
room will be darkened, and views thrown
upon a screen, thus bringing before the
receptive minds of the young events and
incidents which will never be obliterated.
