Near this monument is standing a
small portion of a lorg rock wall, en-
closed by an iron railing, which once
extended from the Ashley river on
the east to the Cooper river on the
west. This wall was built by the
early settlers to protect themselves
from the murderous raids Of ever
bloodthirsty Indians. 1t stands there
preserved as sacred reminder. to
bear testimony to the end of time of

Senator Earle moved to reconsider
his vote and then to table the mo-

and the bill was placed beyond re

Three causes apparently contributed
to this result: First, the indispositioa
of non legal members to go into the
study Of such huge bill; second,
the feelings that the bill was too sin

third, 9S per cent. Of tax collections

Tact.

a wealthy lady had issued invitations
for dinner party Of twelve, aud on the
morning Of the appointed day, when
comforting with her head servant, she
discovered that one Of the twelve silver
shells, In which scalloped oysters WAS
to be served, had been misplaced.
Rigid search for the missing article
having proved unayailing, the lady de-
cided that sooner than give up that par
ticular course, she would simply decline
oysters when they we're handed her,
and 80 the eleven shells would be sufil-
cient.
But when the seryaDt handed her tho
oysters at dinner she was interested In
conversation, and mechanically took
them.
II the servants heart fell In conster-
nation at this, he gave no external slgn
Of 1t, but speaking In terms distinct
though low, said, respectfully:
Excuse me, madam, but you said !

bade you eating oysters"
His mistress laughed. and returned
the oysters, saying In explanation TO
her guests:
81 am so absent-minded that have 70
engage Thomas to remember things for
me sometimes" which, indeed, was lit
orally true.
Afterwards the lady told the story
against herself, as striking instance Of
tact on the part Of the servant.

Hog vs.. Man.

To know the American you must see
all sides of him. On a train between
Jersey City and Patterson a poorly
dressed woman, carrying baby In her
arms, walked through two coaches and
was unable to find seat. The railroad
Hog was there. In 4 dozen cases he
had whole seat to himself, and he
meant to keep it. The woman finally
found refuge in the smoking-car, and
by and by the Hog went forward to en-
joy Havana and found her crying.
"What's the matter?"
"Baby is very i'll, SIR"
"And where are you goingV
''To my sisters. My husband Is dead
and have no home
leave you any money"
"Not dollar, sir"
"Umph! Sorry for you. Let me
hand you this.
The Hog had been robbed Of his oris-
ties. Woman's tears have melted his
selfishness. He returned to his car,
gathered the other Hogs about him, and
said:
"Come down. Poor widow-sick ba-
bv-no home. Come down."
The Hogs went down for their wallets,
and in ten minutes the sum OF $40 was
put into the woman's hand, and the
Boss Hog observed;
"There-there-it' all right-not
word! Now come back here!
And ms she followed hlm into the
coach dozen Hogs rose up and insisted
that she take their seats, and all gather
ed round her TO voice the sentiment:
"Poor woman! Poor baby! Isn't
there something we can do for Your
The Railroad Hog can't be crowded,
but he can be melted.

Typographical Accuracy.

Painstaking people who know next to
nothing about printing find special de-
light In searching out typographical err
rors in newspapers, periodicals and
books, the detection OF n blundcr, In
their own estimation, putting pre-
MUM on individual intelligence--con-
fcrring privilege of disparaging prin-
ters. Men OF Intelligence who write
well but not legibly, never tire Of point
ing out mistakes Of printers aud the
oversights Of proof-readers. These self
constituted censors OF typography may
find food for wholesome reflection In the
fact that about one hundred years ago
anumber OF professors In the Edinburgh
University undertook the publication OF
book which should be a perfect speci-
men of topographic accuracy. Every
conceivable precaution was taken 10 pre-
vent errors Of the types. Six experi-
enced proof.readers were employed,
who devoted hours TO the reading OF
each page. After their careful pcrusal
was completed, each page was posted Ia
the hall Of the University, with noti-
fication that e5o would be paid 10 any
one who should succeed In discovering
an error. Every page remained thus
publicly posted for three weeks before
being returned to the printing office.
The projectors Of the work felt conf
dent that the object SO diligently striycn
for had been attained. Great was the
discontinue Of the learned men when,
on the work being issued, several errors
were found, one occurring In the first
line OF the first page.

in solemn meditation for five minutes,
and then burst into a hearty guffaw,
exclaiming, 81 see IL! ! see it" When
he went home he tried to tell the joke to
his wife. "There was witness named
Mary Mony who didn't come" said he,
and 30 the court said, "we'Il adjourn

when to Make Love.

When May with apple blossoms
Her loving cup Is brewing.
With beams and dews and winds that get
The honey from the violet;
With hopes on which the heart Is set,
Oh, then's the time for wooing.
For wooing and for suing,
Dear lad, the time for wooing!
When August calls the locust
To sound the years undoing,
And, like some altar dressed OF old
In drapery Of cloth OF gold,
Pastures with golden rod unfold,
Oh, then's the time for wooing,
For wooing and for suing,
Dear lad, the time for wooing!
When brown October pauses,
The ripened woodland viewing,
And all the sunny forests spread
Their fallen leaves, as hearts blood red,
A carpet fit for brides to tread,
Oh, then's the time for wooing,
For wooing and for suing,
Dear lad, the time for wooing!
Oh, listen, happy lover,
Your happy fate pursuing;
When fields are green, when woods are sere
When storms are white, when stars are clea
On each sweet day Of each sweet year,
Oh, then's the time for wooing,
For wooing and for suing,
Dear lad the time for wooing!
