A TRUE BILL.

The Wilmington Messenger classes
Senator R ransom among the orators of
North Carolina. OF course there are
differences of opinion, but it is the
first time, we believe, that we ever
heard Ransom accused of being an
orator. 1t is a pity hal he does not
ece asionally display his powers in that
hnei in the United States Senate. He
is glib enough with his tongue upon
certain occasions, and a demagogue at
all times, but the only good we ever
heard of him is his ability to secure
appropriations for the rivers and
creeks in Eastern North Carolina

BY this time the table was deserted.
and a group of Federal officers were
gathered in front of the house near the
owner, who was resolved to assert and
maintain his rights.

grasping his gun.

You may hang me, OF shoot me, or put

HIS vehemence and loud tones as
we'll as his gesticulations attracted the
Generals attention, who called one of
the group around the Tennessean to
him. The matter was explained speed
lily, and the General as speedily re-
solved that a man who had the pluck
to proclaim his sympathies were all
with the South, who was ready to give
ever his enemies a square meal, but
who swore he would shoot the first
mar in ten thousand who deliberately
robbed him, should be protected.
When this was made plain to the
Iennessean, he said he did not care to
take pay for the ham that was stolen.
He refused compensation. What he
stood on was the recognition of his
right to defend his property with his
gun, if need be. That conceded, he
resumed the attitude of host once
more, and dismissed the hams from
his mind and tongue. It is unneces-
sary to add that his rights were re-
spected.

Playing with Dolls.

Two cultivated women, whose lives
are devoted to study and philanthropic
pursuits, recently spent a summer at
their c%hildhood's home, where a dis
tant relative now lives. The host,
knowing their position in the world OF
action, halt-dreaded entertaining two
such important ~personages.
But | got we'll over my fear the sec
ond day after they came" said she.
"What do you suppose they did? They
went up III the attic where their old
playthings stored, and unpacked
their dolls clothes. Then they took the
little undergarments down into the
kitchen, washed them and spread them
on the grass to wliten.
After that: they did them up care
fully, and packed them away again with
sprigs Of lavender in the little trunk.

nov that I have packed my little family

A middle-aged woman who adopted a
child, was one day asked by a friend
prone to look upon the melancholy side
OF life, ii she expected some time to en-.

brought success to our arms and IA
tons to our armies. He was not an
eloquent talker, he never got above
the stripes, he was drafted for the wal,
and those who survived remained to
the last, humble but important and
strong factors in bringing about the
final result. The mule set a good ex-
ample to the soldier in being always
ready for duty, and vas an ever-pres-
ent reminder OF sacred history. We
do not like to joke on such a serious
subject, but a couple Of reliable Incl
dents may remind the boys Of the old
days, and l will be careful to respect
the feelings of the mule. One night
the Colonel Of the Third Maryland,
whose tent was forninst the road, was
by the loud laughing of q
train Of Q. NJ. pets halted for a few
minutes on the road. Starting from
his sleep, he yelled out:
Orderly, tell the chaplain if he
wants to have singing at this time Of
bedad! he must move his quar-
tiers. "-CAicago Ledger.

the rest of the boys had been playing
and had lost their money, and 1 sat
down and played till all OF mine was
gone. I was hard up, and did not
know how to get any more. One day
as [ walked down town 1 saw u large
stuffed black bear, and l made up M
mind to utilize it to some account.
That night 1 went down town after all
was quiet and stole the bear: and fixed
up my tent for q side show. The next
day L stood in front of my tent and an
nounced: Here is the place to see the
only bear in the world perform in
mems Clothes" About all of the regi-
ment went in and saw the show, and I
made about $40. The next morning
the officers came and made me carry
the bear back to the place where it be-
longed. The "man's clothes" idea +
may explain by saying that I threw .
coat over the bear when on exhibition,
and those who went in first would not
tell outsiders Of IL e real nature Of the
hoax.
