Stories of Oliver Wendell Holiiu**.
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.

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. A big re­
vival is in progress among the colored
Methodists of this city, and the afore­
said white woman is reaping a rich
harvest in the sale of her “Garden of
Eden rocks” among the ignorant en­
