DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN; COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1874.
“Can’t find nothing to do but loaf
around the wharves and gallop up and
down the alleys, eh ?” remarked his Hon*
or, as a young man named Miller, charg
ed with vagrancy, was rushed nut.
“I’m a stranger in town—dead broke
and nobody to borrow of,” replied the
prisoner.
“I can’t help it that you are dead
broke,” replied the oonrt. “I’d be glad
if everybody owned a silver mine and two
coach dogs. The officer says you have
been wandering aimlessly around, sleep
ing on bales of hay, taking free lunches,
and making no etlort to amass a fortune.
You don't seem to have any aim—any am
bition.”
“Yes, I have,” replied the prisoner.
“Where is it, sir—where is it?” asked
is Honor, leauing forward. “Did you
iver hear of Cicero taking free luucheN ?
lid you ever hear that Plato gamboled
f trough the alleys at Athens? Ttll me,
i -air, did yon ever hear any oue say that
< Demosthenes slept under a ooal shed or
on a bale of hay ? If you wanted to bo
A Plato there would be fire in your eye;
, hair would have an intellectual cut;
you’d hire a mowing machine to pare
those finger nails. Sir, you have got to
6° for four months.—Detroit Free Drew.
A Paib op Wits.—There are two uieu
likely to be in the next Houso of Repre
sentatives who will “enliven the tedium of
Y legislative proceedings with a little honest
? hilarity." Those two are Mr. William
6 Waller Phelps, of New Jersey, and Mr. J.
Procto#Knott, of Kentucky, of whom the
.Brooklyn Eagle says: “Through Phelps’
humor glows the culture of the schools ;
Knott’s is racy of the of the Blue
Grass region. Pbelps off point an epi
gram which will impale a man as a laveiin
would; Knott will tell a story against a
man which will make him want to craw)
into a hole and draw the hole in after him.
The Jorseyman will show by something
out of a book that his adversary is ineffa
bly ridiculous; the Kentuckian Will cite a
cross-roads instance to illustrate that his
Antagonist doesn’t amount to what he calls
a ‘remote circumstance.’ The razor of
* sarcasm is what Phelps kills with ; the
torpedo of anecdote is what Knott blows
g ‘ men to pieces with. Gentlemen both,
Phelps and Knott ought to sit at either
end of the House, and forage, each in his
own way, on all the fools and frauds be
tween them.”
—The Richmond Dispatch laments the
decay of “the Virginia bam,” one of tlio
most popular features of the good living
of old Virginia before the war. It was
formerly cured by the accomplished
housekeepers of that day, and was often
preferred to the famous Westphalia ham.
The Dispatch states that an order Las
been lately received in Richmond for a
large number of “old Virginia hams” for
the most fatuous restaurant in New York.
The markets of Richmond, Petersburg
and Norfolk were searched in vain for
them. They were not to be had. Men
who had formerly cured a great deal of
bacon have not now a pound to spare.
Sheep and hogs iu that State are reported
as holding their lives by a most uncer
tain tenure, and farmers dread the risk of
raising them.
—At the battle of “Seven Pines,” it was
stated that a sprout of distinguished pre
tensions approached General Longstreet
and asked it “he would permit him to go
into the battle as on independent.” The
general replied, “no, I find independent
fighters are not to be depended upon. ”
There was much wisdom in the reply, and
it is equally as applicable to the field of
£ politics as the army. In Congressional
campaigns, independent candidates are
[•boat as unreliable ns independent fight-
bra—Leesburg (Va.) Washingtonian.
