IL Was Not so Pronounced as Has
Been Stated.
New YORK, June ga Charleston spe-
cial to the Sun says: The telegram from
this place, published In New York paper
on Saturday, said that Mellow had been
elected surgeon Of the Lafayette Artillery,
which was described as one of the most
high-toned, ancient, honorable and elite
military organizations In the city, and that
this action indicated the fact that the re-
spectacle classes In this community are
anxious for the acquittal of the murderer
Of Captain Dawson.
There is not word Of truth in the dis
patch. The Lafayette ARTILLERY is an aver
age military organization, with some good
men In 1t, but 30 far from being the leading
organization, 1t is pretty nearly down at
the bottom OF the list as far rs efficiency,
numbers, uniform, etc., are concerned. Its
captain, ii. l.. 7. Boyer, said 10 the San
correspondent that II was absolutely untrue
that Mellow was elected surgeon, and, In
fact, in the list of officers of the company
furnished by him to the press for publica-
tion, McDow's name does not appear. lie
says that Mellow was formerly surgeon of
the company, an entirely perfunctory
office, without commission and not recog-
nized by the State authorities. On the
election night captain and three lieuten-
ants were elected, and II was decided, IN
view of the circumstances, TO say no thing
about the other officers. This Is what has
been magnifled into an Endorsement by this
community OF the murderer, of Editor
Dawson. The Lafayette Artillery has not

HOW THEY DID 1T LONG AGO.

Grandma told me all about 1t,
Told me so couldn't doubt IL,
How she danced-my grandma danced!-
Long ago;
How she held her pretty head,
How her dainty skirt she spread,
How she turned her little toes
Smiling little human rosel--
Long ago.
Grandma's hair was bright and sunny,
Dimpled cheeks, too--ah, how funny
Really quite pretty girl,
Long ago.
Bless her! why, she wears a cap,
Grandma does, and takes nap
Every single day; and yet
Grandma danced the minuet,
Long ago.
Now she sits there rocking, rocking,
Always knitting grandpa's stocking,
Every girl was taught to knit,
Long ago);
Yet her figure is so neat,
And her ways SO staid and sweet,
/ can almost see her now,
Bending to her partners bow,
Long ago.
Grandma says our modern jumping,
Hopping, rushing, whirling, humping,
Would have shocked the gentler folk
Long ago.
No-they moved with stately grace,
Everything in proper place,
Gliding slowly forward, then
Slowly courtesying back again,
Long ago.
Modern ways are quite alarming,
Grandma says; but boys were charming
Girls and boys, mean, OF course
Long ago.
Bravely modest, grandly shy
What If all of us should try
Just to feel like those who met
In the graceful minuet,
Long ago.
With the minuet In fashion,
Who could fly into passion
All would wear the calm they wore
Long ago.
In the time to come, II l, perchance,
Should tell my grandchild OF our dance,
/ should really like to say,
"We did 1t, dear, In some such way,
Long ago.n

everything went, particularly after mid
