OLD JAKE HAPPY.
He Describes Graphically His Experience
as a Family Man.
My Dear Mr. Willingham :
‘ Well, you’ll only make a dratted
fool of yorsef, like you did when you
went to Atlanta, and be laffed at for
yore trubble.”
That’s jest what my wife, Ann
Eliza, sed when I tole her I was
gwine to rite a letter to lie put in the
noospaper you is edditin’ up in Kar
tersville, nigh whar I marrid her
more’n 20 years ago.
“I kant help that,” sed I, “I’ve
got the croches suspenders on me,
and mean to try it enny how. Ef
Mr. Willingham don’t want to print
it in his noospaper he can lite his
pipe with it, or put it to enny other
yuseful purpos. I don’t keer what
he dos with it.”
“That’s jest like you,” said she;
“yore hed is jest as hard as old Pete’s,
(that’s our Merriny ram) and when
you git it sot on ennything, yure
jest as stub bon as ole Jake,” (that’s
our mule).
“Well, ole ’omaii, don’t say no
more at the present. I’m usen to
yore kompliments, and they don’t
worry me like they usen to. I’m
Swine to try my hand at rilin’ f ( >r a
noospaper one time, so you mobd jest
as well dry up,” said I, a little crPS3
1 ke.
“Well, have your way then, as you
allersdoes. But I’d like to know
what yore gwine to write about that
would be wurth ennybody’s reedin’.
You had better go and rekiver that
corn-krib wich you and George”
(that’s our oldest son that haint mar
fid, and a rite smart chap he is too.
and all the gals for miles round
Hardskrabble ses he’s mighty good
and hansum) “got out the boards for
way last winter. You knowthatthe
new krib wont holeall thecorn we’ve
made this year, and it will be a sin
and a shame to let it stay out in the
wether and rot. And there’s little
Jimmy and Betsey’s” (them’s our
yongest children) “vvagin thatyo’ve
bin promisin’ ’em ever since the
forth July to mend, haint bin teched
yet; nor Anna and Bertha’s” (them’s
our two oldest gall) “bedsted that
was broke down the niteoftnebig
rain, when them two Jester gals got
in it along with our two gals, and
they pretended to b’leve Jim Shaw
was peepin’ at ’em threw the kraek
of the winder—that haint bin mend
ed yet, and you promised to do it as
soon as you lade-by yore corn. It is
troo the gals sorter fixed it up the
next day arter it broke down, but
they didn’t do it right, for it skreecli
es and groues so every time one on
’em turns over in it, it’s a wunder
they can sleep at all. I can’t. And
then thar’s the ash-hopper that you
sed you’d fix haint bin teched, nor
the”—
“Ann Eliza,” sed I, “ef you don’t
dry up you’ll drive evry idee out’n
my hed.”
“I don’t kare ef I do,” said the
amable kritter; “yo’re allers tellin’
me to ‘dry up,’ and I shant. I’se
jest as good a rite to talk as you has,
and I mean to show you that I haint
a gwine to sliet up at yore com man’.”
My deer Ann Eliza, I wasn’t mad
and didn’t mean to hurt your feelins
by tellin’ you to dry up. Them’s
only slang words I larned in the
army, and don’t meen enny harm,
j.i you win jest ne quiet ana let me
rite to Mr. Willingham, I’ll say
somethin’ purty about you, and kiver
the corn-krib, and mend the gals’
bedsted, and fix the children’s wagin
and the ash-hopper, and do enny
thing else you want me to jest as
soon as I can,” sed I, sorter soothin’
like.
So she dryed rite up, and arter a
little while went out to the kitchen
whar the gal’s and Jim Shaw and
Ike Jester war bilin* ’lasses for kandy,
and soon I herd her sweet voice and
merry lafier ringin above all the
others. Then I sot right down and
fit ad that passed betwixt us, jest to
su how if wopld look on paper—
b ' I ijope yoipjj print it, so she can
anu i *vj. Wpn’t she be astonished
o L "V word is jest as they
tno . Eve* si.jp won’t deny it, nor
w r spoke, ana
tr 'iw tr i . '< rite about
l>ut 1 didn t out {jf&ppod
family matters. What jet* -vidflo
in sort o’ incidental like, and , it
for a introdueshun, and may be
will perteck me from sieh another
Interrupshun ef I should want to j
rite to you agin. Besides it don’t!
do no harm to hold up the mirrow
so that even one deerest friends can
see therselves in it as otlrar
peeple see ’em. On the contrary,
it does a heep o’ good, ef the reflec
shun is natral.
Mr. Willingham, sir, I war about
giv you a full history of my visit to
Atlanty last week, in company with
my esteemed friend and nigh neigh
ber Dave Mobley, whar we went to
sell a lode of peechesand melins and
other farm truck, sich as chiqkins
and aigs and butter and young mock
in-birds, which the ole ’ornan and
the children had bin savin up for a
long time ; but the darned swet Aim
Eliza threw me into jes* j was
gwine to begin has well ;,ji| fJriv it
ail outen my hed, Hain’t it agra
vating, when a fuller thinks every
thing is lovely, and he don’t ’spect
nothin’ but sweetnesfrom his wife,
to have her, without enn v warnin’,
pich into him like she did into me?
I hain’t a drinkin’ man--but ef I
had a little corn juee kon yg nientl’d
try to worry down a little jest to
steddy m y nerves before pret -eedin’.
Well, Mr. Willingham, sir, to make
a long story short, Dave and mo got
to Atlanty jest as the big clock on
Mr. Kimble’s opera house %,ver
striken eight in the mornin’ arid
afore ten o’clock we sole and give
away all our lode, ’cept the purvish
uns my wife and the gals iiad pro
vided for our lunch and the feed we
bro’t for old Jake’s dinner. Dave he
use to live in Atlanty and knows
most everybody that keeps store
thar, and that’s the way I got shet
of my truck and things'so soon. Then
we druv to a wagin yard nigh Mr.
Kimble’s big cotton factory, whar
we left ole jake and the wagin ontil :
Dave got thro’ showing me round
the city. I sed Dave knowed all the
store folks, and I don’t bieve I’d be
fur wrong ef I had sed he knowed j
amost everybody else in Atlanty, for
seems he interduced me to moren
a thousand persons, and all peared
glad to see him, and a great many
of’em invited us to “takesumthin’”
(which I reck in was whisky,
as Dave sed “ no, thankee, ”
and he never said so when asked'to
take sody or leminade, or apples;
and I sed “no thank ye,” too, tho’
he had trotted me round so (Dave
rrits over the ground mity fast) that I
was mity hot and dry. Bimeby, as
we wer percedin’ up the street from
the fountain that was give to the city
by Miss King, of Augusjy, up comes
a nice lookin,’ loud talkin’ gentle
man that Dave introdooced me to as
Kernel Harris, but who Dave called
“Unkle Jeems.” “Well, Dave,” sed
Kernel Harris, “I know you never
drink, but you won’t objec to your j
friend’s goin’ in here” (piutin’ to a
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 1576.
store with “No Name” for a sine)
“and takin’ a glass of beer with me.”
Dave sed “Certainly not,” and so the
Kernel took me by the arm and led
me thro’ a big krowd of gentlemen
that was standin’ inside a’talkin’;
j into the pertyest fixed place I ever
vver in afore, and going up to the
kounter, he asked what I’d take? I
said “beer,” ’cause he asked me to
| lake beer, tho’ I never tasted any
| afore. Then he sed to one of the
men behind the kounter. with a
white apron on, “Shanghi” and
Roberson county,” and direekly the
man handed me a glass more’n six
inches high juck lull of beer, while
he give the Kernel two tumblers,
with a spoon in one, and a black
bottle, out’en which be helped his
self. The beer was mighty nice and
coolin’. Arter we had drunk the
Kernel introdooced me to some of
tlie gentlemen, who lie said wer all
candydates; and they no douot
ihinkin’ I was a voter of thecounty,
begun to ask me about the helth of
Ann Eliza and the gals and
the other children, and afore 1
could answer they begun to
“ take sumthin’.” I wished to ob
lege ’em, they seemed so anxious and
pressin’|like, out was a f eered
enny more beer, and didn’t want to
keep Dive awaitin’ too long outside;
so 1 konkluded to try a little of the
“Roberson county,” but as I didn’t
know zactiy wlmt it was, or how
t/'uch to take, I told the man with
the white apron to fix me up a mod
erate uriuk- He give me just about
the same d° se 1 saw Kernel Harris
take—and arter drinkin’ it I knowed
it was whisky, and as strong as aeka
forty too.
Well, sir, arter awhile I took some
more “Shanghi” and a leetle more
“Roberson county”—l don’t member
how much of either or which —and
would a’bin thar a’takin, on one or
the other or both till now, ef Dave
hadn’t got tired waitin’ and tore me
away from them fellers. They didn’t
want Dave to take me away ; but he
didn’t ask ’em, and when we got in
to the street and started for the wag
in yard, seemed to me he was goin’
in t he wrong direckshun, so I pulled
away from him and slippin’ upon
sumthin’ nigh a fruit stand, fell on
the hard stones afore the store and
hurt my hed. When I come to my
self Dave and a feller with a blew
cote and gold on his hat and
a short stick in his hand, was
disputin’ about their rite
to me. I didn’t know what was up,
but that they was gwine to fite, so 1
picked up a rock aud tole the blew
cote ef he didn’t dry up and leeve
thar quickr’n lightning I’d knock
him into the middle of next week. I
tliot he was a Yankee soger, and was
gwine to ’rest Dave ; but Gip Greer
he come up and says he to me, “Rut
down that stone, Jedge; you shan’t
be hurt; that man is a perleeser and
it’s his dootv to take all drunken
people to the kaluboose; but you jest

all right with the perleeser.” Kernel
Waddell and Edger Thompson who
useter know me afore the war, kuna
up then and said they: “Gip is rite,

I was drunk; so the stone drapped
from my hands and I went strate to

heerd Dave callin’ to the ferryman to
put us across the river. Then I got
outen the waggin,and seein thar was
no wimmin folks about, ondrest and
jumped into the river and swum ar
ter the flat to the other side. When
I came out and drest and got in the
waggin agin I wasaU rite,’cept a bad
hedache; but 1 felt powerful meen
cause I ’membered then that I hadn’t
got any of the things the ole ’oman
and the gals had rit on a piece of
paper to buy, and wich Rave didn’t
know nothing about. Besides Dave
he kept a talkin’to me about tem
perance and religion, so that I was
glad when he got out of the waggin
at his dorein Smyrna, case I wanted
to be left to my own refleekshuns
awhile afore I got home.

TILDEN AND HENDRICKS’
Brief Sketches of the Lives of our I’resi
deiitiiil Candidates.
SAMUEL JONES TILDEN.
Governor of the State of Xew York ,
and Democratic Candidate for the
Presidency of the United States.
The ancestry of Mr. Tilden was
Puritanic. Joseph Tilden, of Ten
derden county, Kent, England, was
one of the “merchant adventurers”
who fitted out the May Flower,
which brought the Pilgrims to Ply
mouth. From the same county, in
1634, Nathaniel Tilden, brother of
; Joseph, came over in the good
“shippe Anne” and settled in the
town of Scituate. The family was
well connected in England, and by
marriage, related to Oliver Crom
well, the “Protector.” The name of
Tilden is still an honorable one in the
old colony. His grandfather re
moved to Columbia county, N. Y..
when it wasa wildernes. His father,
Elam Tilden, was a staunch Demo
crat of the old school. Samuel Jones
Tilden, the youngest of the sons of
Elam Tilden, was born in New Leb
anon, Columbia county, New York.,
Feb. 9, 1814, consequently he is in
the sixty-third year of his age. His fa
tlier firmly believing in the Democrat
ic doctrines of Jefferson, Jackson and
Van Buren, early impressed them
upon his son Samuel.
In 1832 a coalition was about to bj
formed between Anti-Masons and
Whigs to defeat the Democrats. This
subject was talked over in the family
and Samuel, then only eighteen years
of age, wrote an article showing the
absurdity of such an amalgamation,
couched in such strong and logical
terms that its authorship was ascribed
to Mr. Van Buren, and it was pub
lished as a campaign document.
When eighteen years of age, he
entered tiie sophomore class in Yale
College, but was soon compelled to
leave on account of the failure of his
health. He afterwards completed
his education under Chancellor Mat
thews, and graduated at the Uni\er
sityofNew York. Soon after his
graduation, Mr. Tilden commenced
the study of the law in the office of
the late John Ed minds, in the city
of New York, wher#he had peculiar
facilities both for the study of the law
and politics, Upon admission to the
bar, lie opened a law office on Pine
street, in the city of New York, l’ol
ities raged high in those days, and
he soon wrote a series of articles,
which were highly praised by the
Democracy. He then embarked
with a Mr. O’Sullivan in starting the
New York Neics, but he soon left the
editorial fraternity and was elected a
member of the Assembly from New
j York. Though a young man , he
I took a conspicuous part in the Leg
i islature, and was considered one of
! the leaders in that body. During
j the session of the Assembly he was
I elected a member of the convention
which was chosen that year to re
model the constitution of the State
of New York. In this body, also,
; Mr, Tilden was very prominent, and
| many of tho amendments and im
provements in the new Constitution
emenated from him. Mr. Tilden,
j however, soon found that neither
i politics nor euiting a pape- paid, and
that to occupy a prominent position
in the community, money was an es
-1 sential ari*oi, r>4 that the way to
acc.Ttauiate this was to apply fiim
self to the duties of his protession.
Ile'now measurably withdrew from
the political arena, and applied him
i self with great zeal and energy to
the practice of the law, in which ho
soon became as eminent as he bad
i been in politics. He was retained as
| counsel in many of the most ipapor
i taut cases that came before the courts
and was generally successful in ob
taining a verdict for his clients.
But the great work in which he pre
eminently shone as a reformer was
in encountering and overthrowing
the so-called “ring” of New York.
This was one of the most gigantic
frauds ever foisted upon any commu
nity. The schemers and shrewd poU
iticians were composed of both Hetn
ocrats and Republicans, and it was
a combination between the officials
of the city and the members of the
assembly at Albany. Their object
was, by this combination, to defraud
| the city, und they did defraud it of
! several millions of dollars. Mr. Til
! den, with Mr. O’Connor, a prominent
auuDiey cf ? he city, and others? get
themsefvpi gf work to ferret out the
scoundrels who had oiitpred into this
wicked conspiracy, and sq effectually
did they accomplish tbe work that
they drove this banditti from their
strongholds, caused them to disgorge
th£ enormous sums of Which they
they h?d plundered the city and take
tne-r flight from civilized society, no
man .knoweth w.hither until this day.
Though tun firnes newspaper, of the
city of New York, attempted filch
from Mr. Tilden ,the k.ooor ana ! he
credit which he justly deserved for
the conspicuous part which he took
I us this great refyrin, yet the com in u
! nity generally, and many of the lte
; publican newspapers believed that
! but for his giant grasp upon the lead
ers, the backbone of that infamous
conspiracy would scarcely have been
broken.
Mr. Tilden, therefore, stands pre
eminently as the reformer of his day.
As Governor of the Empire State,
Mr. Tilden has thus far filled the of
fice to the entire satisfaction of the
party by whom he was elected. In
deed, everybody must acknowledge
that the man who could defeat the
old hero General Dix, in a popular
election, must be possessed of. quali
ties well calculated to make him the
I favorite pf tbe people,
standing thus hpfore the nation as
Utical leader from Uu youth up,

and as . bar, arid as ttjp great re-

practical reformer in their ranks, by

the Cabinet, and by his being thrown
overboard by the convention at Cin
nati.
T. A. HENDRICKS.
Thomas Andrews Hendricks, of
Indiana, nominated as the Democratic
candidate for Vice-Pi'f-sideut, is five
years younger than Mr. Tilden,
having been born in Muskingum
county, Ohio, September 7th, 1819.
When he was only three years old
his father removed
Indiana, and that was his home ever
afterward. Mr. Hendricks received
a liberal education, and graduated
from Hanover college in 1841, after
which lie studied law in the office
of the late Judge Thompson, of
Chambersburg, pa., and wasadmit
ted to the Franklin county bar in
1843, the distinguished jurist Jere
miah S. Black, being at the time the
1 presiding justice of the courts of the
I county He leturned to Indiana, im
mediately after coming to the bar,
and began to practice his profession.
Success was not long in coining to
the young lawyer, and he soon ac
; quired not only a competence but a
high place at the bar. He had not
been long at the bar, however, when
he began his political career. In
1848 he was chosen a member of the
Indiana Legislature, and in 1850 he
served in the State Constitutional
convention. During the next five
years he was a representative in Con
gress, and in 1855 President Pierce
appointed him Commissioner of the
General land office.. He continued
to hold his position under Mr. Buch
anan’s administration until 1859,
when he resigned. In 1800 he was
the Democratic candidate for Gover
nor of Indiana, but was defeated by
Henry S. Lane. Lane was soon after
wards chosen United States Senator,
and in Is Oil Hendricks became his
! colleague in the Senate. At this
time the Democracy was a very weak
minority in that body, but Mr. Hen
| drieks succeeded in making a great
reputation in the Senate, botli as a
statesman and a lawyer, lie was
j active and outspoken in opposition
to the Republican measures of the
time, among them the the bill over
turning the old State governments
jof the South, the civil rights bill
| and the Freedman’s Bureau bill.
i I th© imjrctwl©t tiinl uf An
drew Johnson he played an import
ant part and added greatly to his rep
utation as a lawyer. In a single
term in the Senate Mr. Hendricks
acquired a position of great promi
nence before the country, and lie
placed himself so far forward in Ids
party that since 1808 he has been
regarded ai among tHe available
Democratic candidates for the
Presidency. But for the Greeley
movement he might have been nomi
nated in 1872.
After his retirement from the Sen
ate in 1809 Mr. Hendricks returned
to the practice of his profession at
Indianapolis, hut he was not long
allowed to remain out of public
life. After Greeley’s nomination at
Baltimore, Hendricks was induced
i to accept a nomination for Governor
of Indiana, in order to strengthen
the Presidential ticket, and after a
bitter convass, he was elected by a
small majority, the rest of the ticket,
except the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, being lost to the Demo
cracy. The personal popularity of
Governor Hendricks carried him
through, but he bad the advantage
of having an opponent against whom
the temperance sentiment of his
State was arrayed. He lias made an
acceptable Governor, and has offend
ed only in one respect—by signing
a local option liquor bill, which was
subsequently repealed.
Governor Hendricks is a man of
strong and generous instincts. Social
| ly he is one of the most agreeable
] men in public life, and he carries the
urbanity for which he is noted into
the court room as well as the execu
tive chamber. He possess a fund of
wit and anecdote which makes him
a charming companion. His words
are felicitously chosen, his sentences
always well constructed and his
elocution fluent and easy. His house
is full of hooks and paintings, and
although not a scholar in the highest
sense, he is well versed in literature
and has been an especially close stud
ent of and A moriaan oratory.
In business affairs he is careful, me
thodical and prompt leberal with
out being extravagant—and he has
the reputation of being an honest
man. ills name on tne uckrt ™ ex
