In the procession last night was a NINA
ture cabin made of palmetto and pine, and
Illuminated by WAX candles with the motto
richardson's Young Carpenters" The
bearer of the cabin was asked how r,any
were here from Charleston, and replied
FIFTY, and all of us are carpenters.h AS
the reporter turned away the captain of the
Charleston company called out: "Here, we
want all OF our nine men to fall in" The
Charlestonlans seem to be familiar with
the story Of Jack Falstaff's men in buck
ram. The little cabin, however, was the
prettiest thing in line, and as ingenious as

GOLD WATCH 81 A WEEK.

This Is Not an InStallment Plan and
Consequently We Do Not Charge
You from $40 to $40 More for a
Wach Than it is Worth.
Tie Watch Club is in no sense of the word a
lottery. Fiftytwo members compose club,
each member pays 81 a week, or 81 a
month, this amount pays for one watch each
week. Then, in order to determine who shall
get the watch first, we take the fifty-two names
and put them in q box, and any member of the
club can oraw one out, and the name thus
drawn is the one that gets the watch; he takes
it and continues to pay his 81 week till paid
for. Then next week there are fifty -one names
in the box, and one more is taken out thus; you
see, leaving fifty, and next week one more and
so on until the entire lot has been drawn, which
of course occurs in fifty weeks, sure. The last
man to draw his watch receives a handsome
gold chain as premium for waiting.
Members are in no wise responsible for any
save 81 a week? If you join club now and
will be watch ahead and have Just as much
money ahead as if you had not gone in a club,
for it ID sure as fate that if you do not spend
the 81 for a watch, it will go for something else
and you will be no better off in the end. Join
now, clubs constantly forming.
II is not necessary for you to come in each
week to pay your 81, we can send our young
man after it and give you receipt. If you get
sick or out of employment you do not forfeit
you money; it is held to your credit for two
years.

by Edward jackson.

by EDWARD jackson.
James Egan, a clerk in the store of his
brother, Michael Egan, at Huntington and
East Broad streets, was shot twice at II 80
o'clock last night by Edward jackson (col-
red) One of the bullets entered Egans
left arm below the elbow and the other
lodged in his hip, but whether the wounds
are of a serious character was not learned.
DrS. Duncan and Lincol1 we're summoned
The circumstances of the shooting are
about as follows: Edward Jackson, Henry
Wilson, and three other negroes whose
names are unknown, were returning from
the colored meeting in the park extension,
and stopping in at Egan's store, Henry
Wilson called for cigars. James Egan
started to wait on them. He handed out
straight scent cigars, when jackson
interfered and told Wilson not to
take them, as he ought to get
six for quarter. Egan replied he couldn't
sell that brand for that price, but he could
give them six of another brand for 25 cents
Jackson replied that he could give six OF
the first btand for that if he wanted to, and
Egan answered: No l can't" jackson
then reached over the counter to strike
Egan, who lodged and started further
down the counter in the direction of long
cheese knife with which to defend him
self. The negroes started toward the
door, but before reaching 1t jackson ant
Wilson faced about, and the former called
James Egan vile name, prefaced with an
oath, ana as he made a movement toward
his pocket, Michael Egan rau between Jack
son and his brother to shield the latter, nut
Jackson reached over MichRels arm and
fired the two shots, bat before he could fire
third Michael caught his arm. Wrestling
himself away, Jackson left tie store, and
Michael then caught and held Wilson until
Officer Mauck arrived, and the two coz
veyed their prisoner to the barracks where
Egan preferred a charge against Wilson.
On the way home, while passing through
Troup square, Michael Egan recognized
Jackson's voice, whoopIng and haIlooing,
and going up to the negro collared him AMI

assistance, and soon Officers Russell and
Smith, who were on their way home, came

Legendary Lore Concerning AIinerva's Eae

"The owl shrieked at thy birth; an evil

was to see the throne wrested from himself
and race, his queen and child flying painting
and desolate through the land-the one to
seek lifelong and unhonored exile, the other
an early and unavenged death at q caitiff's
hand, and to fall beneath murderers blow
In his own royal palace, which he had known
longer as prison than home.
Again, "the bird Of night did sit, even al
monday. upon the market place, hooting
and shrieking;" four-and-twenty hours be-
fore Caesar went out to fall under the dag
gers Of friend and foe alike, with his mantle
over his face to hide the death agony from
the bowling crowd around. Was Minerva's
bird OF wisdom giving fair and friendly

clung to his blank, blue orbs and aerie cry.
He spat poison upon those who chanced to
win his i'll favor, and the only cure, If any,
was to bathe at midnight when the moon
was shining full, on the Eve Of the Dead.
The North American Indians name it the
death Bird, and if after dusk they hear its
screech in the wood they call out to it in re-
turn; if no backward answer comes their
death within the year is certain. On the
banks of the Ganges the owl is sacred to

astride the soft, dusky back of this lover of

tale of Palestine that one such had refused
to give our Saviour bread, and for punish

glowworm like eye had power of fascina-
tion on its prey similar to that of the round,
cruel one of the serpent.
As parents the 'slord of the dark green
wood" and his mate have an advantage over
the rest of the winged tribe, for instead Of
bringing up nestful Of young of the same
