Negro, Soldier, 'Possum.
Greenville News, Wednesday A
soldier euchered Negro out of dol
lar at the rear of a beef market in
Main street yesterday afternoon.
When last seen the Negro was swear
ing he would shoot the soldier on sight.
The soldier picked up a 'possum be-
longing to the beef market and offered
it for sale to the Negro for so cents.
The Negro gave the soldier silver
dollar to get the change. The Negro
has not seen his dollar nor tho soldier
since. A few minutes after the soldier
disappeared the proprietor of the beef
market claimed the 'possum. The sol.
diers have evidently learned already
the weak point of the Afro-American
citizen.

ANOTHER CLASH In ILLINOIS,
Non-union colored miners and white
strikers clashed in the streets of Pana,
ILL.,, last Thursday. Several hundred
shots were fired, but the combatants
did their shooting from behind trees
and hedges, consequently no blood
was spilled.
The trouble is said to have been
started by an unknown Negro firing
upon Wesley Pope, striker. Pope
says he was walking near the Spring
side colliery, where the Negroes are
quartered, when he was fred upon.
He secured a rifle and reiuforcements.
Meanwhile the Negroes appeared in
force and the shooting became general.
After several hundred shots had been
exchanged the Negroes retreated to
their stockade. No damage was done.

Bluffed Twenty Girls Who Wanted to
Kiss Him.

Bluffed Twenty Girls Who wanted 10
Kiss Him.
Baltimore Sun.
The greatest hero of the war is un-
questionably Osborne Deignan, one of
the sailors who helped Hobson to sink
the Merrimac in the channel outside of
Santiago. When he reached his home
at Stuart, Iowa, Saturday, he was met
by about 500 of his fellow-townsnen
and by determined band of 20 of the
prettiest girls in the place, who had
sworn to kiss him before he stirred
from the railroad platform, or perish
in the attempt. Events have shown
that the brave Hobson would have
surrendered without a word of protest,
and it is probable that neither Schley
nor Dewey would have had the
resolution to say the ladies nay had
they been in Deignan's place. Even
the ascetic Sampson would, most like
ly, have accepted with thanks the 20
salutes offered by these pretty girls.
But Deignan, it seems, is made of
sterner stuff than any other warrior
known to history in ancient or modern
times. The smiles and caresses of
beauty are considered the legitimate
perquisites and rewards of military
glory, and it is doubtful if George
Washington himself, although he could
not tell lie, would have been able to
refuse the sweet refreshment offered
to the brave sailor lad at Stuart.
Deignan, however, gently but firmly
repulsed the tender charge of the
demonstrative damsels and resolutely
declined to be kissed, declaring that
there were handsomer men in the
crowd than ne, and men who would
make more satisfactory subjects for
OSCILLATION. The girls of Stuart proba-
bly, felt disappointed for little, but
their admiration for Diegnan must
have been intensified thousand fold
by his wonderful exhibition of heroism.
