A Plymouth Eccentric.

At Plymouth, in the olden days. lived
q shrewd philosopher who rejoiced in
the familiar title of Sam Barnes. Short
of stature, keen of tongue, and squeaky
of voice, Barnes was known to every
body, and in turn knew everybody so
we'll that he was able to hit off their
peculiarities to the delight of all hear
ers but the victim. 1t is related, for in
stance, that a miserly neighbor who, in
the opinion of Plymouth farmers,
starved his stock, complained to Barnes
that his pig was sick. "Iv'e given him
seaweed and rockwell, the owner said,
land pigweed and burdock, and nothing
seems to please him. What would you
do, Sam, if he was yours?' We'll,
now, L swear to man," answered Sam,
with his usual sharp, jerky manner, eff
he was mine I'd try him with little
good meal and water" Barnes was
Universalist, and much did he pride
the church bells were ringing, Sam, on
his way to the corner grocery, where
his comrades were wont to congregate,
encountered the orthodox clergyman.
"Halloo, Parson b." piped Sam, what
on earth are all those bells a-ringing
for?" at is prayermeeting evening,
Mr.. Barnes" the clergyman replied,
with pious severity and mild reproof in
his voice. well, now, swear" Sam
continued, as if the idea were n novel
one to him. Whats it for? What do
you do there?" 1--WE pray, Mr.. Barnes"
pray? L swear to man! Now, my
Bible says: When We pray go into your
closet, and shut the door, and pray in
secret" "But do you.pray in secret? p"
asked the divine, in that tone of point
ed appeal which marks the conscious
ness of home thrust. well, now"
retorted Barnes, undismayed, eff L

plant chuckle he pursued his way to

Passing the TOOthpick.

The fastidious denizen of the city
who engages board for the summer in
the country sometimes meets with
strange experiences. A writer in the
New York Mail tells of friend of his
who was recreating at farm house in
the Catskills, the owner of which re-
garded the toothpick an Indispensable
article after dinner. Thinking that
economy in all things is necessary to
accumulate fortune, he imagined that
the boarders were possibly not pro-
vided with toothpicks, and called out
to his son at dinner: johnnie, pass
the toothpick." The boy produced the
called-for article, and proceeded to
make tho best possible use of it him
self; and, when he had finished with
it, offered it to the person next to him.
1t is needless to say the toothpick went
no further.

He Couldn't BE Fooled.

A Georgia man hearing a noise like q
rattlesnake in the hotel went into q
friends room and saw to his intense
surprise five huge rattlers crawling
around the room, while his friend sat
unconcernedly at table writing a let
ter.
"Great Jehosaphat, Jimp he ex-
claimed, edo you see those snakes"
Snakes? What snakes?" returned
James.
"Why, all around the room-there-
everywhere.

Grant Allen thinks it improbable
that, as is often supposed, the extinction
of species has been caused by violent
destruction by preying creatures, ex-
cept in those cases where man has been
the destroyer. He believes, instead,
that most extinct animal and plant
forms have really been exterminated by
the severe competition of other closely
allied forms adapted to fill exactly the
same place in nature. AS an instance,
he mentions the black rat of England,
which was once most numerous, but
which seems to have been completely
starved out of existence by the superior
energy of the brown rat seeking the
same sources of food.

The Colonel Who Didn't Recognize Gen.
Lees Authority To Surrender.

The Colonel VINO DIDN'T Recognize Zen
Lees Authority to Surrender.
Gen. Sheridan tells very interest.
ing story about the last campaign
against Lee, and the incidents of the
surrender. 1t will be remembered that
he headed off Lee at Appomattoz
Court House, and captured eleven
trains of supplies which were waiting
for him there. When Lee found that
he had no stores or ammunition for his
army, and that his retreat was cut off,
he sent a flag of truce, which Custer
received and conducted to Sheridan.
The two armies laid on their arms
waiting for Grant, who was on his way
to the front.
In the meantime Sheridan and some
of his staff started to ride over toward
Appomattox Court House, where they
were fired upon by regiment of reb-
els half concealed among some under
brush. The General and his party
waved their hats toward the place
where the shots came from, and made all
sorts of demonstrations to silence the
unexpected and mysterious attack. but
to no purpose. Finally, the Confeder-
ate officer who brought the flag and
Maj. Allen, of Sheridan's staff, rode
over to see what the matter was.
They found South Carolina regi-
ment, whose Colonel, in @ grandilo-
quent tone, informed them that the war
wasn't over, and that he and his regi-
ment did not recognize the authority of
Gen. Lee to make terms for peace.
"Be Gawd, sir" exclaimed this gallant
Johnny, South Carolinians never sur
render!"
The two officers rode back to Gen.
Sheridan, who, with his party, had re-
tired under cover, and reported to him
the situation. The General called Gus
ter and told him there was one regi-
ment over in the brush which hadn't
got enough of it, and it would be well
for him to go over there and snuff it
out" Custer ordered his bugler to
sound Forward" and at the head of a
regiment dashed across the interval
which lay between the two armies,
which were drawn up in long lines and
stood at rest. 1t was beautiful Sun
day morning-a perfect spring day
and the sight of that regiment, with
OuSbeI louS5, tdWuy udiI dS tHcll phu-
ner, dashing at full gallop across the
fields, evoked a cheer from both armies.
Meantime Sheridan had reached the
Court House, where he met Gen. Cor
don, recently Senator from Georgia,
and Gen. Wilcox, who had been his
classmate at West Point, but whom he
had not seen for many years. Wilcox
has since been doorkeeper of the
United States Senate.
While this party were sitting on the
steps of the Court House, chatting
Familiarity over the situation, heavy
musketry was heard in the distance.
Gordon looked up in anxiety and
alarm, and asked one of his aids to
ride over in that direction and find out
what it meant. Never you mind,
General" said Sheridan Its all
right. l know what it means. Custer
is over there having some fun with a
South Carolinian who never surren-
ders." Gordon insisted upon sending
the officer to stop the fight, but before
he got there the doughty Colonel had
presented Custer with very much
battered sword. 1t was the last gasp
of the Army of Northern Virginia.

The rapidity with which the old land-
marks of our city is disappearing creates
In some of us a feeling strongly akin to
sadness. They seem to us to be old
friends who are dropping away out of
sight or, sadder still, who becOme so
modernized as to lose all resemblance to
our friends of other days. These thoughts
are suggested by the advertisement of one
of our auctiOneers offering for sale, at the
Court House, the property on Bay and
Houston streets. For many years the
gas lamp at the corner was colOred red,
and used as a range light by the pilots in
bringing vessels up the river. This store
was kept by our old friend Hagar, and
was the rendezvous for the pilots and sea-
faring men of the city. A large business
was done there then, and it could now be
made into a very desirable stand. With
very little change the present buildings
could be turned to good account, and the
investment prove very profitable. 1t
should attract the attention of the money
ed men of that Yicinity.-AdU.
