. A deputy United States Marshal,
front Atlanta, while riding

other day took up an idea that a man
who was rilling a horse near Ihe
train was a "moult shiner” and with
out further ado commenced tiring on
him. Tiie titan halted ami Ihe train
‘topped, and it was found to he
mol her man aud an innocent party.
I'lie deputy's name was I'allersou ami

Says the Walcigh (X. C.) -V<
The probability that Hie South will
wrest entirely front New Knglaud,
Ihe mamifaeluring of her own great
aple is somewhat dislaht, perhaps.
Inn it is gralift ing lo know that satis
factory steps are bring made in thal
I i reel ion. For instance, we see il
fated that in Columbus, Ga., there
ire mills employing many hundreds
of operatives, who will this year
weave into clolli from fifteen totweu-
lliousaiid hales of cotton. In 18fi5
there was not a mill in the city.'
The Columbus Enquirer, speaking
of mill no 8. Eagle ami Plienix farto-
says: "This magnificent enter
prise, of which ( oluinhus and all this
•lion may well feel proud, now
gives employment to four hundred
hands, and when fully in operation
will about double that force. The
machinery all being first-class, ol
course will produce a corresponding
excellence of fabric, and help lo
tend the praise of our manufactured
goods. This mill alone will give MIS
tenance to some twenty-five hundred
people, and all our factories will sup
port a population of five thousand.''
Fears are expressed that Mr. Ste
phens has gone into a decline mental
ly as well as physically. This opinion
based on the grounds that, first
lie declared lie would run us an inde
pendent if he was not regularly lioiu
innlcd ; second, I hat after this lie puh
licl v pronounced himself strongly in

written a letter endorsing Mr. Felton,

This sort of condilfl is more vucilla

to play “.larky my ring all” round
Hie court house of moonshiny nights,
and pick chinkapins, and top chest
nut trees, and Luster was always too
smart to cut off the limb hc.w ixt him
and the tree. I wonder if lie lias got
that little hatchet yet ?
1 said we was all poor, hut our
folks wasent as poor as Luster’s. We
had a store and that set u- up right
smartly. The fact is we ranked next
to the lawyers aud doctors, and could
put on l ight smart airs when il was
necessary. I never saw a hoy whose

more importance to it than was be-
-oiuin*, and no matter how much the
other hoys goi Hit* advantage of him
In* could look like a little dog curlin'
his tail and say. “M v pa has got a
tore.” Well, I’ve thought a heap
over il, and in my opinion a store is
risky institution to raise up a family
on—for it’s human uaiiir to want a
power of things, and if they are in
the store they are hound to have ’em
for it looks so much like it dident
ost anything, and if they did you
have to pay no ilJU per cent,
irotil to git 'em, and so the family
!>ill runs way up yonder, and the
w ife and children climb a little, higher
and a little higher in the world, and
suddenly the old dog irons git out of
