One Square and Fair Liar.
rnall»CUa|l Tlmm.1
“He was the orftilcst liar I cvci
teen,” said Cooley O'Leary, as we rc-
turned from his friend’s frineral.
“Why, he told me once that he lived
on a small island in the Pacific Ocean
on which there was a volcano. Aud
lie said that there was active demand
out in that region for watermelons,
so he weut into the business of rais
ing them. And he said-one year hl>
whole crop failed except one melon,
and that kept on growing at such a
fearful rate that it crowded him ol)
the lowland and np the side of tlic
volcano, which generated steam and
caused an explosion, and which blew
up the whole concern to atoms, and
shot him four hundred miles out to
sea, where he was picked up by a
whaler. lie used to tell that the one
great mistake of his life was that
he did not drive a plug in the crater
of the volcano so as to make it water
tight, and then slice open the water
melon and come sailing home on the
half-shell.
“He would lie. lie said that ou«-
hc was cast away ou au iceberg, with
no baggage but a pair of skates aud a
fishing pole. But he skated around
until he came across a dead whale
frozen into the ice. So he took off
his shirt—It was uight for six .months
that year up there—tore it into strips
for a’ wick, run strips up tlic bamboo
fishing pole, stuck the polo In the
fist of the whale, and lit the other
end. He said it burned splendidly,
and the iceberg reflected the light so
strongly that it w.is as bright as day
.'or forty miles a.ound, and one v ea
rl ran 'into the iceberg, thinking it
ra> a light house. He said that he
aold the iceberg to the captain tor
fillOUUaod the captain split it up
anil took it home aud made 200 per
cent, profit, disposing of it to ioc
companies.
“Lie? Well, sir, he beat any man
1 ever caiue across. Told mo that
once out in Nevada a mountain lion
attacked him, with his mouth wide
open. He had presence of mind
euough to grab it by Uic tongue and
pull. The lion roared with pain, but
he did his level best pulling, and
pretty soon the tongue began to give
and the tail to shorten, and directly
out they came, the tail aud the tongue
in oue continuous string. He said be
had 'em at home and he showed ’em
to me, but my belief is they were on
Iv three or four cowhides and a bull*
tail dovetailed together.”
“He was astonishing as a trnth-
cnisher. Said he served on a gun
boat during the war which was very
small and light, while the mortar ou
the deck was very large aud heavy,
and be said the first time they tried
to fire a fifteen inch shell, the shell
remained stationary, while the recoil
was so great that it tired the gunboat
for miles up the stream and landed
it up a tree. He was a liar, but now
he’s dead, I reckon he’ll ketch it.” .
There was no doubt about it; Mr.
O'Leary was very successful as a con
structor of energetic works of fiction
Poor Tete Smith.
CartersviOc Express: Tctc Smith
Was * hero and a patriot as long as it'
was thought that he favored the re-
election of Dr. Felton to Congress.—
The Free fVess was proud to say a
few davs ago that Tete Smith favor
ed Dr. Felton. Bat, oh, Tete, what a
mistake you have made. Wiiliug-
hstn and Felton will now set down
on you, and the places that now know
you will soon know you no more for
ever.
The editor of the Free Press, as
soon as be discovered his mistake,
copies from another paper the follow- :
ing: "Capt. Smith will dear the house
in a minute. The members will stotv
and bear Felton. The wrecker speech
will live. Capt. Smith voted against
his party as obstructionist, when’ it
woold do no good. Better men will
listen to reason than those who main
tain mulish obstinacy.”
Felton has several times announced
from the stamp that Tete Smith, tlic
Immortal Tete, favored his re-elec
tion to Congress. But what will he
say now. Oh, Tete, you are a dirty
dog, and nobody anyway. If Dr. Fel
ton and his friends had taken the
trouble to think for a moment they
might have been spared the mortifi
cation of being told that they were
slandering one of Georgia’s noblest
men. No man of his unflinching de
votion to principle, to country and
Democracy will ever be found sup
porting Independent candidates. Bo
it said to his honor that he was the
only representative from the State of
Georgia who had the courage to vote
against the infamous electoral bill
that gave civil liberty ber death blow
and placed a fraudulent President in
the White House, against the express
ed wishes of the people. When Fel
ton and other representatives ol
Georgia were frightened out of their
wits liy the bullies of the Radical
party, Tete Smith had the courage
to stand up for the people, and re
cord bis name on the side of liberty
and justice.
But Felton's friends tell ns now,
since Smith is for the organized De
mocracy, that he would not listen to
reason but was actuated by “mulish
obstinacy.”
God deliver us from such reason
that could make men sign the death
warrant of liberty and crouch like u
belabored Spaniel before his tyrant
master. Would to God we had had
more of such obstinacy in the last
Congress.—Home Courier.
The Newspaper Business.
TheJ San Francisco (ioltheit Ern
quotes a brother journalist as sayiu;?
that lie supposed many people think
newspaper men an; persistent duns.
Lei a farmer place himself in a simi
lar business position and see if In;
would not do tlic same. Suppose lie
raised ljJWJ Imshels of wheat, and Ids
neighbor should come and buy a bush
el, end the price was only a small mat
ter Of two dollars or less, and the
neighbor says, “I will hand yon tin-
tunount in a few days.” As the farm
er did not want to lie small about tin-
matter. he says all right, and the man
leaves with the wheat. Another
comes in the same way until the 1,0110
bushels of wheat are out to J,000 dif
ferent iiersons, and not one of flic
purehasers concerns himself about it.
for it is n small matter that lie owe-
the farmer, and of course that would
not help him any. He does not real
ize that the farmer has frittered away
all his large crop of wheat, aud Dial
its value is due him in a thousand lit
tle driblets, and that he is seriously
euiliarrassed in his business lie cause
his debtors treat it an a little matter.
But if all would pay him promptly,
wbieli they could do as well as not, it
would be a very large amount to the
farmer, and enable him to carry on
his business without difficulty. The
above comparison is too true of the
difficulties that the newspaper man
has to contend with.
