From the Gaffney Is. c. Ledger.
When McKissick's Cavalry were in win
ter quarters in front of Richmond, Va, in
1864, the following amusing incident took
place: Lieut.. Jack Palmer was lecturing
Tom Rodgers for hurting his horses back.
As was his custom on such occasions, he
used language that was more forcible than
elegant. While the lieutenant was pouring
the vials of wrath on poor Tom, Frank
Nillwpod interrupted him by saying: Lieu
tenant, what do you think of DIR. Dogan?'
II think he is first-rate fellow-a perfect
gentleman" answered the lieutenant. Il
idcn!t know so well about that" replied
Frank. why so?' inquired the lieutenant
."WeH' says Frank. Il got a letter from
home, and it is a certain fact that they
took two soldiers to Union the other day
on the train, and DR.. Dogan wouldn't let
them be buried in the village churchyard." :"
At. this the lieutenant redoubled his
anathemas, and swore he had a notion to
send n detail of men home to kill the doc
tor. What object did he have?" continued
the lieutenant. why" says Frank, be
cause they weren't dead" Just then Frank
beat hasty retreat under shower of
epithets that were more noted for their
force than elegance, and poor Tom caught
it worse.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD,
The Katy Meets the Missouri Pa

Galveston, Texas, April % .--Cialveston is
thoroughly aroused on the grain rate
question and the alleged ignoring OF The

Pacific The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
has issued tariff which meets the cut
Of the Missouri Pacific. SO far as it al
fects the Katy territory.
Under the Katy tariff the same rate
on wheat Is made to Galveston as to
New Orleans. Before the Katy adopted
this new tariff the wheat rate to New
orleans was cents in advance of tile
rate to Galveston. notwithstanding the
tact that it was the decision of the arbi-
tra'lon that no differential in favor of
either place should exist from the points
where the cut vas made by the Missouri
Pacific.
A railroad man said today: THE action
OF the Missouri Pacific did not disturb
the adjustment OF rates to Galveston from
Katy points, because the arbitra,ors'
award provided shat the same rates from
, ves,d haty territory should apply to Gal
really no dliferentiai from this territory
