A Petty Subscription to the Cowpens

RICHMOND, Va Governor Mckinney
has received letter from Capt. William
A. Courtenay, ex-captain of the Wash
ington Light Infantry, calling his atten-
ton to a claim of $3.50 which Virginia is
said to have made for subsc rip!ion tn
Cowpens, S. c., monument. This sub
scription was made, it is alleged, In
1880. The matter was called to the at
tention Of Governor Cameron, who did
not respond. 1t was afterwards men
toned to Governor Lee, but he replied
that Virginia would have to pay its
debt 10 England before it would pay its
debt to the victorious monument, but
the claim will not die, and now comes
before Governor Mex nney on the eve
of his retirement. He will refer it to
the Legislature, and if not disposed OF
by that body it will probably be passed
on as an interesting legacy of Office tc

Made a Cat False Teeth.

The cat that owned the false teeth
had lost his own, and had his jaw broken
besides by a drunken wretch who beat
him with cobble-stone.
Something must be done for him, for
lie supported on "spoon vittles" WAS
a burden, and a young dentist in the
neighborhood, who had become greatly
interested in the unfortunate cat, re-
solved to try the experiment of MAX
terrible piece of work, as Captain on
jected to it with oil his might, but it
was nothing to what followed when the
teeth were fairly in. If the animal
had plunged and scratched while the
plate was being fitted, he acted like n

to his iaw-although it was we'll made
and fitted perfectly.
He could not understand tint it

luxurious feasts to which he had been
accustomed, and for several days he
and impossible scheme was tried to get
the uncomfortable thing out of his
mouth; he tore at it with his claws,
he shook his head violently 10 make it
drop out, he butted against heavy
pieces of furniture, and if any one
came near him he growled and scratched
at them.
There seemed to be danger of his 60

puzzled to know what to do with him,
when, greatly to their relief, he calmcd

Says the New. York Tribune: "Ju-

principal theme of discussion in the
new annual report of the Howard

good deal of interesting information

young delinquents, which are among
the greatest curses of all great cities.
The 'toughs' of New York have their

The Death of q Direct Tax Claimant
Before his Claim was Paid.

BEAUFORT, 8. Cat a time like this,
when soft.handed charity is pouring its
benefactions upon the distressed and

entitled to its rewards and that, too, by
the great Government under which we
live.
