.::-ccAvAN HOPE.

A short.;6me ago while digging a
grave in the Presbyterian cemetery,
the workmen struck something which
they thought was the end of az iron
box. The. men reported this to some
persons, bnt a thorough investigation
waa not made, and the secret was not
revealed then. Since then, some
ladies whose curiosity was naturally
aroused, and who baI probably heard
tie story that, manys.yearS ago an iron
box containing gold had been buried
:scn,ewber. il that vicinity, decided to
nave the object whatever it was, un-
ea$thed. Their plans were frustrated
;e:5a their bright visions Of hidden
treasure, soon TO bein their possession:
va?ished, when they were told thai
several gentlemen had made an ex'
Summation at the time of the grave
digging, which proved that the iron
box was nothing more than a metallic
coffin which had been buried year!
ago and all traces of the grave had dis
appeared.

in December last, in Barnwell coun'y,

He was wounded at South Mountain:

misplaced Nh. Mason's letter, and

Gradick surrendered with Lees army

He was in the war almost from be-
ginning to fnish. Thus it is our old

the few who were left when the fight
ended have all passed over the river
except about twenty.
Perhaps I should not exaggerate
were to say that no troops ON either

are left should cherish a kindly re-
membrance of our loved and lost.

Rotten Political Parties--A Doctor at Last
Nib. Morrison On Phrenclogy.
T am not q politician, and as the
election is over, and news is scarce,
will try to say something about the
rottenness of the different national
factioual parties o! the United States.
One of the hest illustrations along this
line is ore made by Republican can
dldate for Congress Of western Penn
sylvania. In his stump speech be
took walnut as an illustration of the
different parties; h. held up the wal
nut and said: Fellow-citiz ,ns, you
see this walnut. The outer shell repre-
sents the Democratic party, soft
spongy and no strength. l can break
the she'll off with my fingers, and he
broke of the she'll, AMI held it up
again, and said, this shell represents
the Prohibition party, h'rd, dry and
no strength. Then he said, tfe1u 1uus1de,
fellow-citizens, represents the Repub-
Han Ian party, and then he proceeded to
crack the walnut to give his audience
an occnlar demonstration of his Illus
tration, but, behold, it was rotten, and
to the utter astonishment of his sud1-
dience, he said: "By thunder, it is
rotten" Truly the rotten walnut does
represent the rottenness Of the differ
ent parties of the United States. The
hull of the walnut does represent the
Democratic party to some extent; 1t
has a little strength, if It is but enough
to make little walnut dye. do not
know " hSt could be made Of the hard
shell. shall leave that to some OF the
Prohibiionists, but I do know that
there could be nothing done with the
rotten inside. So you see we are the
soundest after all.
