Dr. Holmes does not save his bright thoughts for print and the public, but is often «o witty while chatting with one or two friends as was ever the autocrat or professor of the breakfast table. A young physician once asked him for a suitable motto. “Small favors gratefully received,” was the witty response. He was complaining in a comical wav to a lady of the min ute portion of honey that was given to him at a hotel tea. “A mere trifle; the work of a verv young bee in an idle half hour.” "Did they give you no comb, DoetorP” she laughingly in quired. "I’osssiblv one tootn, mad am!” Several of the now famous writ ers aud lecturers of Boston were speak ing of their lecture experiences, when the subject of pav was brought up. Each man of the company was certain that he had received the smallest sum. But Dr. Holmes made a climax by say ing: “Listen, geutlemen. 1 had en gaged to give a lecture for $5. After it was over a grave-looxiug deacon came to me and said, ‘Mr. Holmes, we agreed to give you $5. but ydur talk wasn’t just what we expected, and I guess that tew-fifty will dew.”— Youth'» Companion. Hancock Defeated. When Hancock was stationed in this city in 1858-61, as quartermaster of the southern district of California, he was an athlete of no small pretensions. Among the animals used for transpor tation, and over which he had charge, were a number of camels, some oi which were the possessors of vicious tempers. One, a large buck, was a eontiuual source of trouble, and he gen erally made it lively for the unlucky in dividual who had occasion to go within the inclosure in which he was confined. On one occasion Hancock went into the corral on some matter of business, but as soon as the old camel saw him he started on the dead run for his unlucky victim. The man who has since be come famous on many a hard-fought battle ground did not quail from the at tack of his formidable antagonist, and soon a Grseco-Roman wrestling match of the most approved style was taking place, that would cause even the re doubtable Muldoon to pale with envy. The hero of Gettysburg, with a haven’t- got-loug-to-live expression on his face, was first thrown into the air, his heels pointing straight toward the heavens and the next moment hurled with irre sistible force to the earth. Several rounds were fought without Hancock losing his grip, but the camel was just Setting into the right trim for an all ay fight, and, being within a few feel of the fence, Hancock watched his op- Eortunity and suddenly released his old and started for the house. How he got over the ten-foot fence has never been satisfactorily settled, and as Han cock whs always reticent on the sub ject, it will probably never be explain ed, unless, at this late day, he unbo soms bini«>*if.

Since the days of the “forty acres __________ o . if a month has and a mule" dodge, passed away without some ridiculous fraud being practiced upon the colored people here, your correspondent fails to remember it The latest and most absurd was brought to light to-day, when a colored man, with his eyes dancing with delight, came in to show me a treasure that he had just bought in the shape of “a rock from the Garden of Eden.” It looked like a small piece of slate, was highly perfumed with musk and packedin a small paste-board box. He had bought it from a white woman, who tola him that she was from the Garden of Eden, and was the only liv ing agent for the sale of the rocks. She had thousands of them put up in simi lar paper boxes, and sold them through the country at 25 cents each. She has sold several hundred in Columbia. Ths Time»-Star correspondent tried to buy the colored man’s rock, but he resolutely refused ten times its price.
