A NEGRO PATRIoT.-Notable among
the colored heroes Of the Revolution
was brave Austin Dabney, Of Georgia.
His owner cravenly refused to shoulder
a flintlock, but the Negro offered to
enlist and, after some discussion, the
officers enrolled him. He was one of
the heroic band who faced the charge
of the list Highland regiment al
Blackstock's farm, and turned the
crack troops Of Europe in open field,
with rifle and musket against the bay
onet, and at Kettle Creek, Dabney was
severely wounded. After the war he
was pensioned by the United States
government, and received grants or
land from Georgia. For gallant service
in the field he was freed by an act OF
the state legislature, and his value
paid from the public funds. Grateful
to the white family who nursed him
when wounded, he earned money to
educate their eldest son, and wept with
Joy when the youth was admitted TO
the bar. Riding into Savannah to draw
his pension he humbly fell to the rear
of the white men to bore company.
Governor James Jackson. himself the
owner Of many slaves, saw Dabney'
rushed out. shook his companion In
arms by the hand, and had him lodged
in his quarter" or row of houses
where the servants lived.

HAD FOUND THE SERPENT.-The late
DR.. Emmons, a famous clergyman OF
the former day, was noted for his piety
and wit. He avoided controversies
however, and often defeated attempts
to draw him into them in an adroi'
manner.
In a town where he was pastor there
lived a physician who was a pantheist
and he took pains to let every one
know it. He had made frequent boasts
that he could easily conquer Dr. EN-
mons in argument, and one day came
his chance. He and the doctor met al
the house of a sick man.
How old are you, sir?" asked the
physician, brusquely.
"Sixty-two," replied DR.. Emmons
quietly, although his eyes showed his
surprise. May I ask your age In
turn?"
II have been alive since the creation
in one form or another" said the ply
sician curtly.
"Ah, then 1 suppose you were WITH
Adam and Eve in the Garden OF
Eden?"
"Centainly," came the reply.

According to a well-known citizen
the intersection of Franklin and La
fayette streets was the scene recently
of one Of the most laughable incidents
on record, says the Tampa Herald.
The small. but faithful, band Of Sal
walton Army workers had gathered at
the corner at the usual hour, and the
usual crowd was on hand to hear the
Word of God from their lips. In the
crowd there was an individual who
appeared to be somewhat the worse
for having gazed too long on the flow
ing bowl, and thereby hangs the tale
Presently, one Of the cadets came
to the front with the statement that
he had been on his way to heaven fol-
a period of ten years. Brothers" ne
said, "I have been on my way to glory
for ten years, and am still travelling In
that direction. Won't you go along
with me?'
The statement seemed to amuse the
woozy one, and he rolled over near the
speaker and looked at him, inquiring-
in. Finally he asked in a decidedly
"brown-ton voice:
"Shay, brother, did you shay that
you been on zhe way to heaven ter
years?"
"Yes, brother. and I wish you were
going with me-" was the solemn reply
well, If you been travelin' ter
years, an amt got any further Thar
Tampa, you'd better turn an go in zhe
osher direckshun," came the reply
and the truth of the statement brought
laughter to the lips Of many.

The following is told of ventrilo'
quist now famous; but at the time ol
this happening so hard up he used t.
walk between the cities where he was
to appear. On one of these tours hi
came to Philadelphia on foot, and or
the road he picked up miserable little
dog, because it looked so much like
he felt" The story will explain what
became of the dog.
The first house he came to was sa.
loon, and of course, he wanted a drink
He had no money, but went in anyhow
to see what he could do. The proprie.
tor, a German, said:
"Well, what will you have?"
He said: It'll take a little whisky,
and then, turning to the dog. he asked
What will you have?"
"Ill take ham sandwich"
The German was so surprised he al
most tainted. He looked at the dog g
moment and then asked:
What did you say?"
II said a ham sandwich"
Hans thought it wonderful that dog
should be able to talk. and asked who
trained him, how long it had taken. ETC..
and wound up with:
How much you take for him?
"Oh," said Mr.. Ventriloquist, 81
wouldn't sell him at any price; but
am little hard up now. and If you will
lend me $50, I'll leave him with you till
I bring the money
"All right" said Hans. ;:'T just want
him for little while, so I can show
him to some smart people I know
around here"
So everything was settled. the money
paid, etc., and as the ventriloquist
went out he turned and waved his hand
to the dog and said:
"Well, goodby, Jack, I'll come back
soon."
"You mean son-of-a-gun. to sell me
for $50 after all I've done for you!
So help me Moses. I'll never speak an
other word as long as liye!"
And he didn't-Philadelph Times.

First-Be honest and straightfor-

Second-Don't get a job through in

the influence of others. Depend on
yourself.
Third-Do what you are employed to

surely follow.
Fourth-Be interested in what you are

tion expenses when he was a candidate
for the House of Burgesses of Virginia
were a hogshead and barrel of whisky,
thirty-five gallons of wine and forty-three
gallons of beer.
George Washington was simple in his
tastes, and during his youth he was an
enormous eater. but was not particular
as to what he had. He wanted plain
food and plenty of it. During his later
years he ate very little. His breakfast
at. Mount Vernon was of corn cakes,
honey and tea, with possibly an egg, and
after that he ate no more until dinner.
He kept, however, good table, and usu-
ally had friends with him. His table
manners were not of the best. have a
book written by Maclay, which gives his
experiences when he was in the United
States Senate at the time Washington
was President. Maclay dined with Wash
ington number of times, and scattered
through his diary are bits of gossip about
Washington. At two Of the dinners he
describes Washington as amusing himself
between the course by playing the devils
tattoo upon the table with his fork. At
another time he says: ''The President
kept fork in his hand when the cloth
was taken away. l thought it was for
the purpose of picking nuts. He ate no
nuts, but played with the fork, striking
on the edge of the table with it."

Prof. Wheat is a member of one of the
oldest families in Clark County, Virginia,
where resides a colony of descendants of
the Washington family. The buttons
were presented to Prof. Wheat by Henry
Lewellyn Dangerfeld Lewis, great-great-
nephew of Gen. Washington.
Mr.. Lewis was Prof. Wheat's closest
friend and neighbor from 1878 until the
time Of the formers death, several years
ago, says the New York Herald. 1t
was when Mr.. Lewis was arranging for
the transfer to the United States gov
ernment of something like $4,000 worth
Of Washington relics, which had been
purchased by a special act of Congress.
that Prof. Wheat came into possession
Of the buttons. During the process of
packing Mr.. Lewis, with characteristic
generosity, invited his neighbor to select
from the collection some souvenir. Prof.
Wheat selected two buttons from Wash
ington's waistcoat and had them made
into cuff buttons.
Prof Wheat obtained from Mr.. Lewis
and his wife written guaranty that the
buttons had been the property of George
Washington and had been worn by him
on several state occasions, notably at
his Inauguration as the first President of
the United States. and also at his we'd
ding.
The buttons are of unique design, and
in diameter about the size of a silver
half dollar. Evidence of their authen-
ticity is engraved on the reverse side of
the buttons, and reads as follows: Leo
