1 found * sweet little gfrlnt Monroe, while
I ril in North Carolina, whole name wae
Fairfax Payne. Not long ago ahe became
groublcd btcauae the money had given out and
the little church waa unfinished. So ahe
hegged her mother to let her cut off her beau,
tifol hair and^aeli it. She bad road about a
girl telling her hair for twenty dollars, and at
laat thia little girl’s mother consented and the
hair waa lent north to the editress of “Harper's
Teuag People" with a timid little letter, and
the Harpers advertised it and told bow the
money waa to lie used, and published the little
girl’s letter, and while I was there the eontrl
butiona that had already came in from kind
hearted people up north amounted to over two
hnnired dollars, and they were atlii coming.
Where there is a will there is a way, and thia
shows what a little girl can do. But still it
will not do forotherglrlstotrytheexperlment
or the novelty of the experiment is over. It la
one of three things that strike the popular fa
ver the tirst time and tho tint time only.
Even li (tie “Fair,” as they cal) her, eould not

in Monroe, I rode out with a friend, and we

call him, and to condole with him about hie

merrily. “Why Billy Harp, ain’t you n
long ways from homer” and bo laughed again.
“Wee it a negro that stole yourmeatr”
aid I.
“No, no, Billy Harp. A nagur wouldn't
take that much. Nagnra always leave tome.
A nagur would have been satisfied with a side
or two but I lost about BOO pounds and it waa
carried off In n wagin. No, air Billy Hern, it

didn’t reckon ho coold, for ho etill bail one
jinto of meat left, that they didn’t
find, end be most stay and watch It,
far it bad to do him until hog klllin time.
“Bring't with you,” said I, "put It In a sack
and bring It along and set on It.” “I
moot do that,” said he, “yen, I mout do that,
hut then you meat snake w laugh more'n

hragbed more than ever, sure enough. Ho
said he oeuldent understand why they dldent

Leaving Monroe, I soon fonnd myself in the
historic town of Cemdso, Mouth Carolina,
when Lord Cornwallis whipped Oansrai

She was a lady of rank.
I Camden Ja a beautiful town—a town of mag

At Kingsville I wanted breakfast, fur 1 bad
leu Colombia without any; but there waa no
break fast home, and I had to wait there two

negro woman who sometimes so*, up right

with an old-fashioned low-country curtsy,
and had n gingham handkerchief on

fifteen minutes, after which hit body was
turned over to his relatives. He denied to the

he waa executed was peculiarly atrocious, on

four-pound stono from her own fireplace. She

DAVIS' CAMP CHEST.
An Interesting Kelle Owned by a Wilkes
County Lady.
From the Washington, (is , chronicle.
It is probably not generally known that a
very interesting relic of the war time* la
owned in this plscr. It is the camp cheat of
PreaidfBt Jefferson llavi* which be used
white visiting the armies of the eonth. It is
solid mahogany and as well made as skilled
workmanship eould make it; is three feet long,
two feet deep and ona foot wide, by actual
measurement: a leaf bangs down on each side,
snd when raised make a table three feet
square, the lid forming the center leaf. The
interior of the chest is in two compartments,
one large snd open, the other filled with cum
of different depths that elide down and rest
on each other. 8ome of these were made for
holding writing materials, white others were
nisds for holding salt, pepper and other condi
ment* for tabic use.
The lamented Mr. Bobert Toombs recogniz
ed this chest a few years ago, and remarked
that be had eaten from it in the camps near
Richmond.
At the evacuation of the confederate eapl-
to], Mr. Davis found ho could not carry this
chest with him and so requested Col. J. T.
Taylor Wood to present it to Major John B.
Weems. The latter, now deceased wu the
father of Mrs. Belle Virgin of this place, who
now owns this very interesting relic. Mrs.
Virgin lived in Macon until a few years ago,
when she moved to this plsce. While living
there she wu Drat offered a thousand dollars
fer the chest by a northern man who finally
rtn his hid up u high u three thonund dol
lars, when this Isdy, whose heart hu always
burned with that deep sense of patriotism for
which our noble southern women were so not
ed, ftankly told him that sho would not toil
this relic at any price to a man who had boen
) enemy of tho south.
This chest wu brought on to Washington at
the close of the war at the same time Mr.
Davis catuc through, snd wu concealed here.
Mrs. Virgin afterwards carried it to Macon
when sho moved from here there. It hu been
in her father's and her possession ever since
wss presented to him.
The following note, the original of which
Mrs. Virgin has, accompanied the chest:
to: i,MX J. II. Wens, Commandant of Post:
in return for your kindness and attention both
- J Mr. Davis and myself, please aoccpt his camp
chest, lie trusts that yon, under mote favorable
empires, may have an opportunity of urine It.
