SUNDAY MORNING.. October 4, 1868
THE FINE ARKANSAS GENTLEMAN
Bt Avur.ni tint, ivvv.
Now, good fellows, listen, and a story I will tell,
Os a mighty clever gentleman, who lived ex
tremely well,
In the western part of Arkansas, close to the
Indian line,
Where he gets drunk once a week on whiskey,
and immediately sobers himself completely
on the very best of wine;
A fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw line !
This fine Arkansas gentleman has a mighty fine
estate
Os five or six thousand acres or more of land,
that will be worth a great deal some day or
other, if lie don’t kill himself too soon, and
will condescend to wait!
.And font or five dozen negroes that bad rather
work than not,
And such quantities of horses, and cattle, and
pigs, and other poultry, that he never pre
tends to know how many he has got ;
This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw line 1
This fine Arkansas gentleman has built a splen
did house,
On the edge of a big prairie, extremely well
populated with deer, and hares, and grouse;
And when he wants to feast his friends, ho has
nothing more to do
Than to leave the pot-lid off, and the decentlj
behaved birds fly straight into the pot, know
ing he’ 1 shoot ’em if they don’t, and he ha
a splendid slew ;
This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw line!
This fine Arkansas gentleman makes severe
hundred bales,
Unless from drouth, or worm, a bad stand, oi
some other d—d contingency, his crop i.‘
short or fails;
And when it’s picked, and ginned, and baled, he
puts it in a boat,
And gets aboard himself, likewise, and charters
the bar, and has a devil of a spree, while
down to New Orleans ho and bis cotton
float;
This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw line!
And when he gets to Now Orleans ho sucks a
clptbing store.
And puts up at the City Hotel, the St. Louis, tho
bl. Charles, the Verandah, and all tho other
hotels in tho city, if he succeeds in finding
any more ;
Then he draws upon the merchant, and goes
about and treats
Every man from Kentucky, and Arkansas, and
Alabama, and Virginia, and tho Choctaw
nation, nnd every other d—d vagabond he
meets,
This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw lino!
The last time be wont down there, when ho
thought of going back,
After staying about fifteen days, or less, he dis
covered that, by lending and by spending,
and being a prey in general to gamblers,
backmen, loafers, brokers, hoosiers, tailors,
servants, and many other individuals, white
and black,
He'd distributed his assets, and got rid of all his
means,
And had nothing to show for them, barring two
or three headaches, an invincible thirst, and
as extremely general and promiscuous ac
qnaiutanco in tho aforesaid Nbw Orleans ;
This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to tho Choc
taw lino!
Now, how this gentleman got home is neither
hero nor there,
But I’ve been credibly informed that he swore
worse than thirty seven pirates, nnd fiercely
combed his hair;
And after ho got safely home, they say he took
an oath
That he’d never bet a cent again at any game of
cards; and, moreover, for want of docent
advisors, ho foreswore women and whiskey
both ;
That fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw line.'
This fine Arkansas gentleman wont strong for
Pierce and King,
And so came on to Waabiugton io get a nice fat
office, or some other mighty comfortable
thing;
But like him from Jerusalem that went to Jer
icho,
Ho fell among the thieves again, and could not
win a bet, whether he coppered or not, his
cash was bound to go ;
This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw line I
So whou his money all was gone he took unto
his bed,
And Dr. Reyburn* physicked him, and the cham
ber maid, who had great affection for him
with her arm bold on his head;
And al! his friends came weeping round, and
bidding him adieu,
And two or tbroe dozen preachers, whom hi
didn’t kndw at all, and didn’t care a curse il
ho didn’t, came praying for him too ;
This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc
taw line!
They closed his eyes and spread him out, al
ready for the tomb,
And, merely to console themselves, they openei
the biggest kind of a game of faro righ
there in his own room;
But when he heard tho checks bo flung the linen
off his face,
tnd sung out, just precisely as ho used to do
when ho was alive: “Brindle,f don’t turn !
hold on ! 1 go twenty on tho king, and cop
per on the ace 1”
this tine Arkansas gentleman,close to the Choc
taw line!

[From Louisville Journal, JUtli ult.
ENTIRELY TOO POLITE.
A MEMPHIS BANKER LOSES A GOLD WATCH,
A DIAMOND RING AND A WAD OF GREEN
BACKS.
About three weeks ago there came to
Louisville, by the mailboat from Cincinnati,
a young girl who announced to her fellow
passengers that she was en route for New
Orleans, whither she was going to occupy
an engagement she had already accepted
as governess to a wealthy creole family.
She was an agreeable person in her appear
ance and manners. Dressed in Subdued
but exquisite taste, with a languid, melan
choly cast of countenance that lighted up
in the most flattering way when it was ap
proached, she attracted attention in spite of
an apparent effort, which she made at first,
• to evade it. Iler brother—“clerk in a heavy
Main street house”—was to meet her at the
wharf. She was to spend a day or two in
Louisville ; thence she would go direct by
the cars to New Orleans.
The passage down the river from Cincin
nati was very lively. The boat was crowded
with gay people, and after supper our
young lady entertained quite an audience,
who collected about the piano, playing and
singing in a ravishing manner. Indeed, one
middle-aged gentleman, a Memphis cotton
broker, became enchanted, and did not
leave the cabin until a late hour. Next
morning he reappeared, found the object of
his sudden devotion quietly waiting the
arrival of her brother, and took up his po
sition by her side, declaring that he should
not leave her until she was in safe hands.
The brother did not appear. One—two
—three hours passed. No brother—not
even a cloud of dust upon the levee. The
cabin-boys and chamber-maids were clean
ing the saloons and state-rooms for the
return trip. The steamer was in confusion.
What should be done ? The Memphis gen
tleman proposed that Miss should go up to
one of the hotels and dispatch a note to her
brother. She assented, a carriage was
called, and they entered it : but to, when
they reached the hotel, the porte-monnaie of
young lady, containing over one hun
dred dollars, was gone. Th/carriage was
4
searched. No port-monnaic. They drove
back to the boat. The state room occupied
by Miss the preceding night was searched.
Not so much as the scent of a greenback.
The gentleman was nonplusssed. Ihe lady
was in tears. She sat down, in fact, in the
vacant state-rooin and howled. And what
did the Memphis cotton broker do 1 Gener
ous man I lie went below, bribed a waiter,
put a wad of bills in his band, and sent him
up stairs to say to the lady that tho money
had been swept out of the cabin, and per
haps it was hers. Perhaps it wr» ; of
course it was. She dried her eyes at once,
and pocketed the money, and returned to
the hotel a happier and, with her new-found
escort, a richer woman.
Old Memphis was a little taken aback by
this. It was now well on to mid-day, and
still the Main street brother had failed to
come to time. Should he not go himself
and look up the negligent young man? Oh,
no, Miss said, not for the world ; her brother
was very peculiar; he would come pres
ently. Presently came, however, without
the brother—and late that afternoon she an
nounced that he was not in the city; that her
letters had miscarried ; that her brother was,
n fact, off on a drumming expedition. At
the same time she declared her intention to
wait for him.
When Memphis heard this he-said he
would wait too, and that evening the couple
visited the negro minstrels together. They
were quite happy and contented. After the
minstrels they stopped in at an ice-cream sa
loon and had supper. During supper Miss
noticed that her beau was wearing a very
beautiful watch and chain. She asked to
look at it. Memphis took it oil' and she
playfully put it on. It was very becoming,
she said, and did he mind her wearing it a
little while? Gallantry was only too de
lighted to see her wear it. Next she noticed
a diamond ring on his forefinger. This he
put on her finger himself, and what a charm
iug little hand she had to be sure. They
were vastly complimentary and happy, and
got back to the hotel about eleven o'clock,
when they separated to meet at breakfast
next morning.
What Memphis dreamed of we know not.
Doubtless his dreams were blissful. He woke,
dressed, descended to the parlor, rang for a
servant, and sent to No. 13 for the Indy.
Presently the servant returned —.
“Nobody in No. 13, sir.’’
■What?”
“No, sir. Lady stayed there last night,
but she went off on the early train - ”
Memphis actually staggered, and could
only gasp : “Which early train ?”
To which the servant replied, in one tragic
trisyllable, “Chicago.”
It was too true. At four o’clock, when the
omnibus,started across the river, Miss ap
peared among the passengers, paid her bill,
and wc'nt with it. Memphis telegraphed
Indianapolis. No go—train gone. He tele
graphed each road leading thence, but in
vain. His one hundred dollars in greenbacks,
his watch, worth five hundred, and his dia
mond ring, worth a thousand, were all gone,
“like tenants Jhat quit without warning,
down the back entry of time.” He got a
detective, went to Chicago, returned by St.
Louis, all to no purpose. Finally he reached
Memphis, accounting to his afflicted family
for his protracted absence by “the .sudden
rise in funds.”

costiveness, and for the last twenty was com
pelled daily to resort to injections to secura
an evacuation. In December last I com
menced the use of Rad way’s Pills. After
taking a few doses, my liver,- stomach, and
bowels were restored to their natural strength
and duties. I have now a regular movement
once a day, and, although 80 year? of age,
feel as hearty and strong as I did 40 years
ago.

HIGH ENDORSEMENT FROM THE
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF PRUSSIA.
DR. RAD WAY
la in receipt of an important official docu
ment, signed by the Professors of ths
Medical Collego of Breslau, Prussia,
embodying the result of an
analysis of
RADWAY'3 KE GUL ATI NG PULS,
" The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after a careful and minute anamina
tion, they have tho honor to state that “ the
pills are not only free from every substance
injurious to health, but are composed wholly
of substances and elements promotive of
digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system, &c. t
&c. They state, further, that tbo injurious
rumors set afloat by tho Prussian apothe
caries originated “in a mean spirit of trade
Jealousy, excited by th- great celebrity uv
tained by the Pills within a very brief
period."
Signed on behalf of the College,

Dtreatar c/ the Potytechnicejjureau,

IFmiCF.STION I
In cases where natural evacuations are
difficult to secure, and a quick discharge is
essential, take six of Rad way’s Pills and pul
verize them, —take the pill powder in water
or preserves,—in half an hour they will ope
rate. We have known tho most distressing
pains of Gastritis, Bilious Cholic, Inflamma
tion, Congestion, Ac., stopped, and the re
tained irritating humors expelled from tho
bowels in-thirty minutes by this treatment.
It is however, better in chronic cases to take
tho pills as they are, and let them gradually
dissolve in tho stomach. These Pills possess
in the highest degree cathartic, aperient,
tonic, and diapharetic properties. They do
do not weaken or debilitate the system or
any of its organs, and will loavo the bowels
regular and healthy. They purify and.equd
ize the circulation of the blood. No congee
tion or inflammation will occur while tbs
system is under their influence. Price 26
cents per box, or 5 boxes for one tiollar.
