Knlts Under a Rebel rlng.


Fhere is an old woman in Charleston
who has not been on the Battery since
the war and has not been on King
street in fifteen years, says the Char
lesion Is. c. Post. This may seem
like a fairy tale to many, but it is a
true statement. She is not a cripple,
either, but is as we'll and strong as a.
woman could expect to be who has
reached the age of "A years. She lives
In the western part of the city within
few squares of King street and near
the Rutledge avenue street car line.
Another remarkable thing about this
old lady III that she has never seen the
electric cars and has no desire to see
one, she says. She was asked by a
friend of hers the other day to join in
a trolley ride, but she declined with
thanks, saying she did not care to ride
on anything that was propelled by un-
seen power. Law me-" said she, when
asked to take a trolley ride, "do you
think I'd get on one of those cars that
are run by electricity? could not be
induced to take one of those electric
rides. You are fooling with something
you can't see"
AS before stated, the old lady has
not been on the Battery since the war,
and, Notwithstanding repeated efforts
have been made by friends and rela-
tives to get her to visit this beautiful
place, all appeals fell on deaf ears. She
would reply when asked: THANK you,
do not care TO go''
Other than this no excuse was ever
offered. oftentimes she has been asked
by her friends why she did not care
to go on the Battery or why she had
not been there since the war, but never
a reason did she give. The old lady is
a genuine rebel and says she has never
surrendered and never will. In her
house is a large Confederate flag sus-
pended from the wall in her room and
it is said she sits under it hours at a
time and knits stockings.

One of the most important factors in
the mining of coal today is the electric
mule. After the electric drill has done
its work and the coal is shoveled into
cars they are gathered together with
the aid of mule or electric locomotive
and arranged into long trains, which
are hauled to the mouth of the mine by
powerful electric locomotives. These
are made of narrow gauge, of small
dimensions, so as to be capable of use
in galleries and runs where mules can
lot be used without extra cutting,

warning the CommunItv,

A miserable imposter is working his
game on some of the cities of the
state, selling from house to house a
salve which he guarantees to cure
warts. All sensible people know that
the only way to remove a Wart is to
rub it with half potato, which is af-
terward to be buried by a cross-eyed
negro in the northwest corner uf a
grave yard at midnight, during the

A ChIId's Generosity.

At this time, when the English ma
ton is rejoicing over the long and
prosperous reign of Queen Victoria, a
simple little incident of her childhood
told by Mr. Alfred Story in the CULVER
is not inappropriate, showing as it does
that the qualities which have made her
beloved as a queen were already man
ifest in the little princess.
When she was seven or eight years
old this little lady was particularly
fond of dolls, of which she was allowed
to buy a goodly number, always pro-
yided that she took good care of them,
washing and dressing them herself,
and supplying them with the neatest
and most becoming clothing. The
clothing she bought with money earned
by steady application to study.
On one occasion she took great
fancy to a doll displayed in a shop near
her home. Unfortunately she had spent
her allowance for the month, and no
more would be due for a fortnight; but
the princess was not discouraged. Hav-
ing explained the matter at home, she
wss permitted to ask the shopkeeper
to ,,ut the doll aside for her. The shop
keeper. who knew her, willingly con-
Sc. led and the little lady felt that the
doll was safe.
It. was a happy day when, with six
ahiliings in her hand, she went to the

Crowds thrilled and trembled as they
saw
Sweep by the pomp of human lie,
The sounding flood of passions STRIFE
And the great stream of history
Glide on before the musing eye.
There, row on row, the gazers rise;
Above, look down the arching skies;
Ger all those gathered multitudes
Such deep and voiceful silence broods,
Methinks one mighty heart hear
Beat high with hope, or quake with fear
Zen so yon groves and forests seem
Spectators of this rushing stream.
In sweeping, cirollng ranks they rtse'
Beneath the blue O'erarching skies;
they crowd around and forward lean,
As eager to behold the scene
TO see, proud river sparkling wide,
The leng procession of thy tide
To stand and gaze, and feel with. thee
All thy unuttered ecstasy
1t seems as If a heart did thrill
Within yon forests, deep and sti7l.
So soft end ghost-like is the sound
That stirs their solitudes profound.

Here is a Barria being dlsiniected be-

doctor is in attendance to see that he is

Conquest by Love.


A soldier in the army of the Potomac
was the terror of his company. He was
disobedient, cruel, quarrelsome, and
vicious. AS a result he was often ter
rlbly punished, but there was no refor-
nation. In due time, by the fortunes
OF war, captain of another regiment
was placed in command of that COM
pany. The very first day the orderly
sergeant informed the captain of the
terrible character of this incorrigible
soldier. That afternoon the man per-
petrated some misdemeanor, was ar
rested by sergeant, and brought be-
fore the captain. He looked at him for
a moment, and speaking to the sergeant
said:
Let him go to his quarters"
Shall keep him under guard?" in
quired the sergeant.
>"Oh, no" said the captain, quietly.
That evening the captain called his
sergeant and said:
Go down to Mr.. Blanks quarters,
and tell him to come up to my tent; l
wish to see him."
OASsA1 u Al4G I'LL up 6ueAAu'
inquired the sergeant.
"Oh, no" said the captain. Gust
tell him to come. guess he'll come, if
you tell him"
In due time the soldier stood inside
the captains tent, cap in hand, He
was of fine physique, brave and dar-
ing.
Take a seat, sir" said the captain.
The soldier obeyed, but all the time
looking defiance. The captain inquired
of his home, his relations, etc., and
then said:
Il have heard all about you, and
thought would like to see you pri-
vately and talk with you. You have
been punished often-most times, no
doubt, justly, but perhaps sometimes
unjustly. But see in you the making
of a f1rst-class soldier-just the kind
that would like to have whole COM
pany of; and, now, if you will obey or
deTs, and behave as a soldier should,
and as l know you can, promise on
my honor as a soldier that 1 will be
your friend, and stand by you. 1 do
not want you to destroy yourself"
With that the soldiers chin began to
CULVER, and the tears trickled down his
cheeks, and he said:
Captain, you are the first man to
speak kind word to me in two years,
and for your sake I'll do it,
"Give me your hand on that, my
brave fellow" said the captain. "I'll
trust you"
And from that day on there was not
a better or more exemplary soldier in
the army of the Potomac. Love con-
quered him

shop after the treasure. The money
was paid and the doll handed over to
it's new mistress, and then the child
turned to the door. Before she could
step outside, however, her eye fell on
a misunderstanding tramp, who open
ed his lips as if to speak to her. and
then shut them again irresolutely. He
stood aside to let her pass, a mute APP

"Stop!" She stepped back into the
shop.
"Oh, would you mind taking the doll
back and keeping it for me a little
longer?" she asked.
Certainly, / will take it back, and
return you the money" was the reply.
The child took the money and turned
to the door. She placed the whole Of
it in the hands of the starving man.
He stared at it for moment, and his
eyes filled with tears.
Please go quickly and buy some
thing to eat" she said.
Yes, miss, l will, and may God bless
you all the days Of your. life, and pros

the man. Then as he hobbled on he
murmured, IF the Almighty God made
you a queen it would not be more than
you deserve"
