Columbia, S. c., September 10
When it is considered proper that
tho "a South Carolina Regiment
should be paid off by u colored ma
Jor 1T may be said that the era Of re-
union has gone pretty far. The war
department saw fit to send NIaior
K. Il. Wright here to pay off the
young men Of the End regiment.
here is no Disgusting the fact that
some Of the men did not like the idea
Of getting their pay for patriotic
duty from rs Black II man as could
be found for tho service. No doubt
Major Wright is Il good man apd
em'nently qualified for the work no
has been assigned to do, but some of
the men thought Major Knapp or
some other officer of the pay service
could have been sent here.
THEIRS NOT TO REASON WHY.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that the officers were very anxious to
have nothing happen TO mar the
standing of the regiment in mill
tary sense or to prejudice the COM
maud with those in authority. One
of the first things in military life is
to take things rs they are and to
obey orders. The orders were that
Major Wright should pay off the 2nd
regiment, and the officers wished it
accepted i'll the best possible manner,
and, after al, {" crisp ten dollar note
handed over by Major Wright was as
good as if handed over by somo one
else. Still there is sentiment about
such things, and the officers wished
to avoid any seeming slight to Major
Wright.
MAJOR WRIGHT TREATED WITH RESPECT.
Major Wright is the superinten-
dent or president Of the State Col
ored College in Georgia. and, having
lived in tho South, knew his position
and what was expected of him. Col.
Jones took it upon himself at the out
set TO let the men see that he would
treat Major Wright with considera
ton and such doference as WAS due
his Office and rank. The treatment
was contagious.
Before the paying off began Col.
Jones had the companies drawn up,
and the commanding officers told the
men what they were expected to do,
and stated that if there wera any
men who did not want their pay
from Major Wright to say 30 then
and there and the money would be
gotten by the commanding officer Of
the regimen:'. The mon were ex-
pectod to then signify their desire
and were, OF course, expected to
abide by what they said as soldiers.
None declined to go up to the col
ored r-ajor's table for their pny.
The meu went up to the pay win
dow in squads of ten, and as pay de-
partment was we'll guarded there
was no chance oftrouble.
A few of the men turned their
faces away, and poked their hands
III window and got their pay. The
men were generally "strappod" and
woro reioiced that payday was at
hand.
At st. Simon Island, whero there
's small force, the newspapers say
Major Wright was roughly received
and the mon there refused pay from
him.

Literary Notes.

Mrs. Ballington Booth, of "The Amer
icau Volunteers" is writing out her ex-
periences in American prisons, and in the
slums of New York, for The Ladiea'
Home Journal. Mrs. Booth has perhaps
come closer to the lives aud condolences
of the men and women in prisoDs, and to
know the poor better, than any woman
living. She will not only tell what she
has seen, but will point out what her ex-
perience has shown her to be the most ef.
fective way in dealing with the people of
the prisons and the sIums.
Mary Anderson, who is now Mrs. de
Navarro, and lives in England, has al
lowed herself, her new English home and
her two-year old baby to be photograph
ed for the first time for publication
Some twenty pictures have been made,
and the best of these will appear in an
early issue of The Ladies' Home Journal.
The baby's picture is. of course, the cen
trail one of interest.

Large quantities of articles made of
ivory having been put upon the market
at extremely reasonable prices led to
an investigation as to their source Tho
supply of ivory is SO limited that the
prices can scarcely be varied; therefore
there was evidence that something un-
commercial was being done. It was
found that the fruit of variety of palm
was being utilized. This fruit has a
very hard and white kernel 1t can be
worked in lathe and is of such fine
quality that experts may bo puzzled to
distinguish it from the genuine article,
It is susceptible to almost all uses to
which genuine ivory is put. To detect
the difference, apply small quantity
of concentrated sulphurio acid. This
causes the imitation article to assume
ehade of pink, while on genuine ivory
it produces no change whatever.-New
York Ledger.

Dear to the young and TIE cid.
His warehouse fronts dusty street
Within the city's crowded heart,
Alas, the price Of every beat,
Here, foremost in exchange and mart
he sits alone, silent man,
Unloved; all fear his vigil keen;
His thought, the ledger's page to scan,
And spy near desk and door unseen.
And yet whene'er the breath of spring
Steals shyly in upon the breeze
His voice takes on kindlier ring,'
His crusty mien touch of ease.
The flower girl ventures through the place
Though he refuses to buy her wares;
The boys perceive an hour of grace
And softly whistle on the stairs.
For half unwittingly he dreams;
A fancy, born mid orchards bloom,
Floats back upon the sunlight's CLEANS
And haunts the dingy, cobwebbed room
It clings; he fain would drive away
The pleading wrath Of boyish years.
It fits; forlorn, he bids 1t stay,
This foolish thing of smiles and tearsl

IndOrse

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 4-The Demo
cratic state convention met to-day ana
nominated a ticket headed by Alexander
B. Bruce of Worcester for Governor. The
platform indorses the Chicago platform
and demands the free coinage of silver as
follows:
THE Democratic party with convic-
ton and persistency which have now been
confined by the observation and experience
of two additional years of disaster, again
demands the return of bimetallism, by re-
storing silver and gold 10 coinage at the
ratio which was maintained during so
many prosperous years in the history OF
our country, the ratio of 16 to l."
In regard to the war the platform says:
''The military administration during the
recent war has been a stigma on the his
tory of the republic and a disgrace to
civilization"
The platform concludes thus: 1--WE in
dorse with enthusiasm that true and trust
ed leader of the great Democratic party Of
the nation, William J. Bryan, our candi-
