Tom Marshall and the Judge.

Tom Marshall was engaged in
the trial of case in the interior
of Kentucky, when a decision of
the Judge struck him as so bad
that he rose and said:
"There never was such a ruling

sided on the trial of Christ" "
"Mr. Clerk" responded the
Judge, "fne Mr.. Marshall $40

tinued Tom, "that what said was
Il little hard on Pontius Plate:
but it is the first time in the his.

"Mr Clerk, make the fine 500

the Judge, solemnly.

GEN. HAMPTON'S HOME
\ Bit of Information That is of
General Interest.

The following from the Green
vile Mountalneer is of interest:
"rhe daily newspapers outside
the State have used the name of
Southern Cross in connection
with the home of Gen. Wade
Hampton, which was DESTROYED
by fire several days ago, and we
do not remember to have ever
heard it called by that name be-
fore. When the famous campaign
OF 1876 was opened at Anderson,
the red-shlrt companies placed
their flags and banners around the
speakers stand, and Gen. Hamp~
ton very quickly described one
marked Diamond Hill, which in
terestcd him very much. He said
it was the name given to his home
near Columbia by the servants
who belonged to his wife, the
daughter of George McDufie,
whose home was near Diamond
Hill, Abbeville county, and he
was Informed that the red. shirts
who brought that flag were from
the neighborhood of McDunie's $
plantation on the Savannah. This
pleased the Old hero very greatly,
and he regarded it as an omen of
success in the campaign which he
was about to open.

A Bible Curiosity.

There is 4 verse in the Bible
which contains every letter in the
alphabet except j, and it is said
there Is only one such. 1t is the
2lst verse of the seventh chapter
OF Ezra and reads, "And | even
|, Artaxerxes, the king, do make
a decree to all the treasurers
which are beyond the river that
whatsoever Ezra, the priest, the
scribe of the law of the God of
heaven shall require of you it be
done speedily"
