Col. Harry l.. Benbow OF South
Carolina, being nee in a reminis.
cent mood, was asked by a friend
to tell him biz most striking ex.
perience during the Civil War.
He began by saying that on April
1, 1865, he commanded three regi-
ments at Five Forks, near Peters
burg, Virginia. Being S h o {
through both hips, he was capsur-
ed and carried to City Point, Vir-
ginia, Hospital, where he was
placed In a ward occupied entirely
by wounded Federal officers. He
was we'll cared for, having every
simple luxury which the exigency
OF the times would permit.
After being there a few days, Il
was reported abroad through the
ward that the President OF the
United States would on the next
day pay his wounded officers at
City Point a visit. On the morn
ing OF April s, 1865, a day which
| shall never forget, my attention
was attracted by a considerable
hustle at the entrance OF the ward
iarthest from my cot; and in a lew
moments the door was thrown
open, and | beheld a splendid dis

IF John T. Moir. VIM. Mckay and
Manager Wright of the Volcano

way to settle the matter.
The result was that n meeting was
held last Saturday afternoon, at which
he members OF the Fourth of July
committee and O'Rourke were present.
The idea OF the meeting was to arrive
at some understanding. but, though
some lively discussions followed. no
conclusion was arrived at. O'Rourke.
II is understood, proposed that all
purses be paid. but the objection was
raised that the merchants would quite
probably decline to pay up their sub.
Scriptions for the big Merchants
Stakes purse, as the event had been
declared no race by the judges. 1t
was therefore finally decided that the
only way in which to arrive at result
would be through a board OF arbitra.

soon as 1t can be appointed. O'Rourke
IS to appoint one arbitrator. the com.
nittee another, and these two will sci.

"The Fence or the Ambulancs,,

Recently in Maryland an association
organized for the prevention and relief
of tuberculosis, desired to raise large
sum of money with which to promote
its work 1t resorted to an ingenious
method of canvassing not only the cit
liens OF Baltimore, but the entire
state of Maryland, and one of the most
effective features OF the campaign was
the publication in all of the advertising
matter used in securing the fund of the
old poem entitled, The Fence or the
Ambulance as follows:
Twas a dangerous cliff, as they free
ly confessed
Though to walk near its crest was so
pleasant,
But over it's terrible edge there had
slipped
duke and full many peasant.
So the people said something would
have to be done,
But their projects did not at all tally,
Some said, Put fence round the
edge of the cliff
Some, AN ambulance down in the
valley"
But tae cry of the ambulance carried
the day,
For it spread through the neighboring
city;
A fence may be useful or not it is true,
But each heart was brim full OF pity,
For those who slipped over the dan
gerous cliff;
And the jewellers in highway and val
le.'
Gave pound or gave pence, not to put
up a fence,
But an ambulance down in the valley
For the cliff is all right if you're
careful" they said,
And If folks even slip or are drop
ping,
1t isn't the slipping that hurts them
SO much
! AS the shock down below when they c

/ llSn all OlQ St:SS ieiliG. hCo ~
marvel to me
That people give far moro attention
To repairing results than to stopping
the cause.
When they'd much better aim at pre-
vention.
Let US stop at its source all this mis-
chief cried he.
Come, neighbors and friends, let u
rally,
If the cliff we will fierce We might al
most dispense
With tae ambulance down in the va
ley"
;"Oh, he's fanatic" the others re
joined
dispense with the ambulance
Never.
He'd dispense with all charities, too,
he could:
But no! Well protect them forever;
Aren't we picking folks up just as fas
as they fall?
, And shall this man dictate to us
Shall he?
Why should people of sense stop
put up fence
While their ambulance works in tn
, valley?'
! But a sensible few, who we're pra
teal, too,
VIII not bear with such nonsens
much longer.
They believe that prevention is bett'
than cure
And their party will soon be tt
stronger.
