KNIGHTS OF THE MYSTIC CHAIN.
Silver Wave Castle No. IL, A. o. K.
of the M. c., at its last meeting re-
ceived one application for member
ship. This makes five for initiation
in February. A good social time was
had at the last meeting under the
head of good OF the order" The
members of this Castle are trying to
make it the banner Castle Of this
State, and each member is striving to
bring new members into the fold. 1t
is true the times have been hard, but
we see the dawn of better times. Let
us arouse ourselves, move around, get
a hustle on; get up and enthuse.
When times are flourishing candidates
can be procured with but little exer-
ton. Let there be grand rally from
now on to keep up the enthusiasm.
Don't get respondent. Let each men,
Der visit and induce non-attendants
to attend, and when they come treat
them as brother-as one of the fam
ily-not as an outcast Then he will
come again, and perhaps bring anoth-
er with him. By all means try and
have pleasant and harmonious ses-
sions. Let us greet each other as we
meet. Don't be afraid to extend your
hand for the Mystic grip. It will
make you feel better. Let US resolve
that we will have work at each meet
ing; it can be done, with firm deter
mination to do it. When we have a
candidate let us try and impress him
with the beauty Of the ritualistic
work Make him feel that he has an
equal interest in the Castle; don't
put him on a back seat, but press him
forward; find him something to do.
He will feel his responsibility and
work hard for the interest and success
OF the order. A great deal depends on
individual effort. but what can an indi-
vidual member do? In the first place
he can stop criticising and finding fault
with those who are doing their best
to make the order grow, he can attend
the Castle meetings and assist in car
rying on the business. There are sick
brothers to visit, he can do that
There is nothing that will strengthen
the order as much as fraternal visit,
to visit the sick and relieve his dis
tress and cheer him by your cheerful
cOUntenapce

Old, and prettier than her mother ever

THEY LOVED THE NEGRO.
Southern Father and Son Defend
Their Former Slave, Who Is
Wrongly Accused.

Gen. Barnum, of Abbeville, S. c., had
body servant before the war who aped
him in everything. Peter so loved his
master that he grew to talk like him,
act like him and almost look like him.
He lives to-day, the heart of hospitality,
the soul of honor. One Sunday two
white men drove up to the door of his
cabin and asked if he had any liquor in
the house. He said he had about a
quart. They offered to buy. He re-
fused to sell, but, just as his old master
drink. Having drunk they handed him
half dollar. OF course, like his mas
ter, he declined the coin. The scoun-
drels went to town and swore out COM
plant that he was violating the dispen-
sary laws.
I happened to be in Greenville the
other day when the trial took place, and
saw a revelation. Peters counsel was
Gen. Barnum's son, adjutant general Of
the state under Gov. John Gary Evans,
and the chief witness for the defense
was the general himself, who had come
over from Abbeville, distant about 100
miles, to say a word for his former slave.
The general took the stand and his son
said:
what is your name?"
"I am Gen. Barnum, sir.~
''Where do you reside?"
''In Abbeville, sir.''
"How long have you known the de-
fendant?"
"sixty-fve years, sir.''
*'What is his reputation?''
GAS good as any mans in this court
room, sir"
''Would you trust him?''
''Trust Peter? Why, I'd trust him
with my life, my honor!"
The jury didn't leave their seats.
The scene "sorter touched me up"
met young Barnum and asked if he re-
ceived anything for his services. "Ac-
cept fee from Peter?" he said, in
amazement. 'Why, sir, I'd as soon
think of charging my father"
""You and your father came 100 miles
to clear this old negro?"
Eyes, and we would have come 1000
or 10000. Old Peter was second IA
ther to me. He raised me- When was
we'll he played with me; when was i'll
he nursed me. When I was a boy I'd
rather sleep in Peters ca bin than in my
own bed at home I'd rather take a
snack with Peter in those days than
dine with the president.'
I'm afraid we Yankees don't under
stand the "nigger" question yet.-N. Y.
