A Few Good Ones. A city gentleman was recently in vited down to the country for “a day with the birds,’, says the Tatt ler. Whatever his powers in finance, his shooting was not remarkable for its accuracy, to the great disgust of (he man in attendance, whose tip was generally regulated by the size of the bag. “Dear me,” at last ex claimed the sportsman, “but the birds seem exceptionally strong on the wing this year.” “Not all of ’em sir,” came the re mark. “You’ve shot at the same bird about a dozen times. ’E’s a follerin’ you about, sir." “Following me about! Nonsense! Why should a bird do that ?" “Well, sir,” came the reply, “I dunno, I'm sure, unless e’s ’angin" ’round you for safety." A Congressional committee went to portland. Ore., to assist, in the opening of the Exposition on June 1st last. There was a parade in the morning, in which all the visit ing statesmen rode in carriages. The local committee brought Portland the carriages around to the Hotel. The scheme was to have two Senators or Representatives and two local men in each car riage. President and After the Vice his party had been sent away, a Portland notable, who was acting as a majordotno, came into the lobby of the hotel, where the statesmen were waiting and bawled: “Two Congressmen and two gentlemen, please!”—Saturday Evening Post.

Meet ing him again, after another session, and asking again about his case, the same answer was given. As it cost .$2 or $3 each time it was continued, the doctor thought by the time it was settled after pay ing the judge he would get nothing Some time afterward the judge was afflicted with a felon, and of course employed his neighbor, the doctor. After suffering awhile, he met the and said: “Doctor, this thing is getting along very slowly. I have walked the floor nights for a week. What are you doing to it ?” The doctor, who stammered badly, replied: “Co-co-continuing it, by George ’’—-Boston Herald. Bill Aickley had a fine brown mare of which he took the greatest care, says the Green Bag. Last June to San Rafael there came a man, John Mersfelder by name, who took the mare to Sausaleet, to pull ice wagons on the street. But when he hitched her up, they say, he found she pulled the other way. So back to San Raefael he went. “I’ve brought you back your balky mare,” said John, “she’d cause a saint lo swear, You guaranteed that she would pull, that she was strong and powerful, but now she’ll neither run nor walk ; all that she’ll do is stand and, balk—and so it na turally toilers I'd like to have my sixty dollars” “Come off,” said Bill, (hat talk don’t go.” “Well, neither does the mare, you know,” said John, “and so you’ll have to pay, or else I’ll find another way.” The irate couple , now you see be fore the justice, Bill Magee, who heard the facts, reserved decision, but made this provision : “The court, unable to decide, he hind the mare will take a ride. Now, should she pull so great a weight, and should not balk, my course is straight. But il the law can t make her go, why William must refund the dough.’ The case is still in statu quo.

I erans at the reunion tent on day night, Miss Grace Lumpkin of Columbia spoke as follows : “Confederate Veterans, Daughters of the Confederacy, and Sons of Veterans: “For the sponsors and maids of honor we thank you for this wel come. We are proud to meet with the Confederate soldiers, and take part with them in their reunions. We have a right to come and meet with the bravest men that ever wore a battle flag or sung a battle song. We are daughters of these men, we are your daughters, Confederate soldiers, and when you meet to tell the story of your deeds and live over again those four years of storm and grief and battles and graves, our place is by your side, our duty to hold your hand in ours, and catch into our souls the story that has made your lives immortal. “To hear von tel! of the cause that was right, is right now and will be forever right. We are your daughters, your wrongs victories, are our wrongs, your charges, your your triumphs are ours, your wounds and your scars and the graves out yonder are ours, your land is our land, and wherever you may find a soldier of the Confederacy, gray haired and battle-scarred, you will find his daughter as loyal to the cause he fought for_ as he himself can ever be. “It may be that there are some who would say leave out all spon sors and sons of veterans. My fa ther was a confederate soldier and I heard his comrades say that he nev er failed to do his duty, and I want to say here tonight that one word from him would make me stay away from the reunion of these brave men, but if he did not speak it then x wou ] d W3 i k unflinchingly through xke p res 0 f a thousand cannon if neod be, and stand by his side, holding in my hand his old battle fi agi the Stars and the Bars, * “Confederate soldiers, vour daugh ters love you ; these marble shafts i that stand on Southern hills tell the i s tory to the nations of the earth that 1 j wo ] ove the heroic dead, We are [ iere today to tell the living that in our hearts for them are monuments of love higher than earthly hands can build from earthly marble. Say now, Confederate soldiers, where is your daughters’ place, if not by your side in your reunions. The Confederate soldier comes of a race that holds to honor,and charity and truth.

Rhodes, of Statesboro, passed into that un discovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns,on the 20th of May, I9<H5. being 68 years of age. She was born and raised in Colleton county, S. O., was buried at Little Horse Creek church, where she was formerly a member. A beautiful funeral service was performed by Rev. H. S. McCall, her present pastor of Bay Branch church, of which she was a member at the time of her death.

She leaves thirty grand children and other relatives and friends by the score. She died as she had lived, trusting wholly in -lesus. So sad it. was for the children to give up their precious mother, all .of whom were at her bedside for a week or more, doing all that loving hands could do, but to no avail. In her death a husband has lost a faithful wife, children have lost a loving mother, the entire community a kind, helpful friend and neighbor, and tie church has lost an earnest and consecrated member.

While she is no longer with us, she lives in the sweet memory of all with whom she as sociated.

Let us remember that the same hope that sustain ed our departed friend amid the trials and difficulties common to this life will bear us triumphant ly through all such, and we all will meet again in that house not. made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
