Wooing a MiIkmald..

South Carolina has always been
considered the most aristocratic State
in the Union. Some people have tried
to slur at her aristocracy, but South
Carolina aristocracy is recognized,
and the South Carolina chivalry
is much admired all over the civilized
world.
But it is not of South Carolina aris-
tocracy that I propose to write
I am going to relate how a
South Carolinian of one of the
"6rst families" got wife Of humble
birth.
Mr.. E. was very wealthy planter
and State Senator from B. district.
He was a graduate Of the old South Car
olina College; very able ard intelec-
tual, but very eccentric man. His
relatives tried to induce him to marry
and made up match after match for
him, but he would have none of their
choosing.
One day while the legislature was
in session in Columbia he rode into
the country and toward nightfall
| passed by COW pen in which there
was a pretty country girl milking.
He fell desperately in love with her,
and stopping at the farm house
near by, asked if he might spend the
night.
He was assured that he would be
welcome. He introduced himself by
his right name, but claimed to be a
merchant tailor working up country
trade.
Several evenings later found our SEN
ator again at the farmhouse and then
he got to be regular visitor at least
twice every week, and on each visit he
paid marked attention to the farmer S
daughter.
After few weeks he proposed to
the maid, was accepted and the
wedding day set for near cate in the
future.
That day came and the we'd
ding took place without lauch ccre-
mony.
The Senator took his wife to a
fine house in Columbia and left her.
In short while several wagon loads
of furniture arrived and {, dozen or
more servants appeared and asked her
what disposition she wished to
make of it; she was SO con-
fused she waited until her husband
arrived and asked him what it all
meant.
"Well," said he, "whcn I asked you
to marry me I told you | was a tailor,
but such is not the case, | am aScn-
ator and the wealthicst man in b
District -
"I have found lots of women who
would have married my money but
wanted one to marry me and L have
found her. y
His relatives were incensed, but he
hired governess and music teacher
and his wife was taught French and
music and she became an accom-
plished woman and made aim good

An Interesting Problem.

There was once wise king who was
awfully curious. He was possessed
| of desire to know everything, and
was continually asking questions. In
deed, his thirst for knowledge carried
him so far that he wanted to know the
age of every person he met. But be-
| ing king, he was exceedingly polite,
and would resort to strategy to gain his
ends.
One day there came to the court q
gray-haired professor, who amused
the king greatly. He told the mon
arch number Of things that he never
knew before, and the king was delight
ed. But finally it came to the point
when the ruler wanted to know the
age of the professor, so he thought Of a
mathematical problem.
"Ahem !" said the king. III have

old, and he had been born two
days before Christmas, so he thought

- The town of Barnwell, S. c., reports
negro boy, twelve years old, with a
wonderful memoir. He read the book
of Genesis cnce the other day, taking
three hours to do it, and, it is asserted,
then repeated it, forgetting only some
half dozen words. He appears to be
lacking somewhat in intelligence, and
repeats in parrot-like way. The pub
lished story about him goes on to say
tin'i1 that in the presence of reliable witnesses
he gave word for word, with all the min

Worse than Bullets.

That was a good story which the
Rev. C. J. X. Jones, of Louisville, told
in Boston pulpit the other day. He
said:
can alarmist always reminds me Of a
friend of mine who was commander
at the battle Of Round Mountain. 1t
was hot fght-onc of the hottest of
the war. At particularly intense
part of the action my friend stood be-
side his horse scanning the field with
his glass and directing the troops. He
told me that it seemed as if the fire of
the whole confcderacy was centred
on him, the bullets flying thick around
him.
Suddenly he heard a mimic ball
singing in the air and he felt some
thing strike his leg. But the occasion
was urgent and he kept up his glass.
There was another 'ping-g-g, and he
felt another strike. And SO itcontin-
ucd.
"The captain at last lifted up his
hands and prayed: 20, Lord, lean go
home to my wife and children without
either Of my legs, but 0, Lord, let nc
get home.
FINALLY there came the shouts Of
victory. The battle was won.
With long drawn sigh the captain
shouted to his orderly at little dis

"'But what's the matter +? Why
can't you come here ? Don't yor
see that I am wounded, and almost

orderly again.
'''Come here instantly, you rascal,
shouted the commander.

Of the orderly.

The Steel Works Go Ont.

The case OF the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Co. VS.. Bessemer relating 10 the with
drawal of the steel works came up be
fore Judge Mitchell in the county
court Thursday. Witnesses for the
plaintiff were examined, viz j. A. Kebler,
L. w. Robinson, Fred Darroch and j. l..
Beaman. When this part of the pro-
ceedings were through with "A surprise
was sprung by the plaintiff presenting
petition in the court signed by all the
alderman of Bessemer excepting Alder
man Geo. JacKson, praying that the
works might go in peace This was
sumner and the city had nothing to do
but Withdraw its defense. The strange
action of the Bessemer aldermen in
thus aiding the steel works in their
scheme is all the talk of the town.
The opinion is that they have made II
grave mistake and the people generally
feel sore over the affair
The Bessemer indicator., 1893-06-03

TIE action of tie seven aldermen
who signed the petition praying for
the release of the steel works from
the city is very strange, and stranger
still because the council had only a
short time before unanimously in
structed Mayor Dempsey to employ
assistant council in the defense of
the city. The firm of McAliney &
Arlington had been retained TO aid
City Attorney Lennard and what
might have perhaps proved sue
cessful defense had been prepared.
When the petition of the seven
councilmen was sprung on the
astonished counsel for the defense
the fight was over with for the
present at least. The city not only
loses the steel works but has big
attorneys fee to pay beside. The
worst feature of the case is, however,
that aldermen will take such an i'm
portant and unusual step without
consulting the wishes Of the people.

American and Russian.

Alien as they are in government
language, customs and all that go to
make up their social lives, yet there is II
spirit of friendiness existing between
the people of the United States and
Russia, deep rooted and earnest, but
which rarely finds expression save when
war topics are INDUCED in. Particular
! ly since the late rebellion has the friend
/ ship been marked. When in the darkest
hour of the crisis when old England,
not content with doing all in her power
to iniure the federal government
by secretely aiding the South, was
seriously thinking of acknowledging the
cause of the conlederacy, the great
Northern Bear growled his olninous
growl and England kept ner guilty
hands Off Russia was Americas
friend then and the warm hearted, i'm
pulsive American never forgets friend.
The following story now going the
rounds of the newspapers serves to
pened off the Atlantic coast, and
though the American officer was
little enthusiastic, yet hIs remarks un-
masked the hearts of representatives OF
the two great nations:
"a number of American officers from
the cruiser Baltimore dined recently
aboard Russian warship. In the
course of the dinner one American
officer rose and proposed three toasts in
something like the following language:
"Russians and friends: | rise as an
American officer to propose three toasts
in honor of three moments IN history.
The first toast is in honor Of the
moment when Russian ingenuity de
yised the means to build ships: the
second toast is in honor of the moment
when Russia commanded place
as a naval power, and the third toast is
in honor of the moment in the future
when Russia and America shall to
gether possess the world" The hurr9hs
which followed these remarks are said
to have been fairly dcafening. Officers
jumped to their feet and in their
enthusiasm mounted chairs. Wineglass
after wineglass was emptied, and then
the warm blooded Russians, no longer
able 10 contain themselves, seized the
American officer, mounted him on their
shoulders and in a body paraded around
the room and out en- deck. The re
marks were cabled to Russia. They
have been printed during the last few
days in the majority of the st. Peters
