THE NEW LOCAL.
{From the Burlington Hawker* ]
y
He was a bright tnoxrhg' young
nun, with mirxceptiouably good
clothes, nnd a bright, eager way w ith
him that inclined the chief to take
him in nnd let him ice what he could
do. He felt, the young man said,
that he was born to he a reporter,
like Horace Greeley and Mr. Bennett,
lie knew he bad it in him, nnd all ho
wanted was the field, and hn would
make his own opportunities, He
worked on the Hawk-Eye one day,
and we do not know what has became
of him atlerThat, but wc are sorry he
in gone. There was so much life and
sunlight about the oflice during his
brief stxy. He hadn't been on the'
street an hour before he came rustl
ing back into the office, radiant with
enthusiasm and a whole hat fu'l of
'fights in his note book. Then he
dashed out and went around the
block, and came tearing up the back
stairs like a house a-fire with a first
class, gnili-edged, lavender scented
scandal case. He started oil to din
ner, but came dashing back to write
up n runaway, an apoplectic fit, a
vma’l robery, and astreei-car coiision
he had encountered on the way. We
never saw sueh a man to gather up
news. He could hardly find time to
eat his meals, on account of the rush
of items. And when he got to wri
ting them up in the evening, he had
to lock the door to keep new ones
from rn.-hing in on him, We said:
“The offiicc has got a treasure.
That man is north a million dollars
a week.”
And the rest of thj boys stood
around with their nleajri-f notebooks,
complaining that the town was awful
dry, and fairly bursting with envy.
We Imd to inn :i supplement to get
all the young tVllow’a city news in.
'Jiioni'xt morning the chief hid a
Tory inpressive interview with the
!<■• reporter. Tliu liii-iiioss nffijo
wa- filled with a miscellaneous crowd
•and ci izeiis, and Iwo or three poliee
noii, and a f w ladies. The boys
loaned tip against the door of (he
p ivale office to hear how much sala
ry the new man was going to get,
and if he would accept an interest in
the paper. They beard llie chief sa't
“And this long item about Jerome
C. Plastonbnrg. That is a paid no
lice, as you were told; it is worth
$65, and yon have spelled hi* name—
the viial part of the notice—wrong
every time. Once you have called
him James L. Louglierty, once Ja
bez O l’hi laiity, and in all oilier
places Jacob D. Platlu rsbag. What
on earth possessed you to make such
absurd and injurious blunders as that ?
“Well good land !” exclaimed the
young man, “how was I to know
how he spelled his name ? He’s a
stranger to me. Besides, I did my
best to get it right. I looked
through Zell’s Encyclopaedia and in
Webster’s Dictionary, and couldn’t
find any such name anywhere. How
is any man going to get along with
out mistakes if tho office library
hasn’t got a reliable book of refer
ence in it ?”
Tliere wat a pause, and then the
chief resumed;
“And here is this item here about
Rev. Mr. Throopledyke, whoso mar
riage to Miss Minerva Posonby you
notice very neatly, and then append
the outrageous statement that the
reverend gentleman has a wife and
nine children in Indiana, and that it
is thought he has one or two more
somewhere in Wisconsin. Why—”
“Well that’s so,’’ broke in the new
man; “I tell you he has; a man on
the train told tnc so down at Union
depot yesterday. I got that all
straight- That’s true as gospel.”
“Who was the man?’’
“I don’t know; he was a stranger
to me, and it looked too fresh to ask
his name.’’
“How did ho know Mr. Throop
ledyke?’*
“He didn’t know him; lie just told
me about a preacher he knew that
had a wife and nine children in Indi’
ana, and I askedhim to/1 escribe him*
and Ins discretion hit old Throople
dyke to aT, O, it’s hint, 1 kno w.
“Then,’’ continued the chief, after
a very nainful pause, during which
the boys held their breath, “here i*
an item stating that Christopher R
Roflin, a Bogus Hollow sneak thief,
knocked a child down near the rail
road crossing and stole a tin bucket,
len cents, and a tntlk ticket from
her. This is atrocios. It is terrible.’
“Why,’, asked the new msn, “was
not that Rvlliu?”
HAMILTON HARRIS CO., GA„ WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1876.
“No,” said the chief, with some
a.periiy, "Mr. Koflin i* President of
the Young Men's Christian Associa
lion, and a citizen of iho highest re
pnte. Now w here did you get that
item 7”
“Well, the i’em is all right, but I
wasn’t rure of the I told a
haokuian about it, and asked him it
he knew who the first man wss, and
he said ho guessed it must be old
Ilofi in, and Ifound the full name in
the Directory.” The boys could hear
the chief sigh clear through the door.
“Then," continued, “what made say
that old Mrs. Malavers committed
suicide while in state of despon
dency, brought on by by excessive
use of intoxicating liquor?'’
“Well, didn’t site ?”
“Didn't she? She is alive and down
in the counting room now and is ore<i
dent of the woman’s Temperance
League.,,
’’Well, well, well,” sai.l the
new man, in a tone of nmnz-m<-nt.
“I must have got lhat mixed up
with some Other i eni.”
“And then look h re,’’ continued
the chief, “yon take occasion to say,
in ail entirely uncalled-for manner,
that lion. George J, Barnwell owes
grocery bill of 37 15 at Sugcrby’s,
that has been running nearly two
years, and that he blows his nose with
his fingers, and picks his teeth with
his folk, and only changes his socks
once a week. Now ”
“Well, by George,” shouted the
new man. “that’s the truth. Now
I’m willing to own no when I’m
wrong, bu’, by gum, you can’t cor
ner me on that item. That’s the
solemn truth, and I got it all straight.
A girl tl.-.t work and in his family
four years told me all about it, and 1
could have put in lots more, ever so
much worse than that, if I’d had
room, lie ”
“Do you know ,” said tho chief’ “
that lion George J. Larnwcll owns
more of this town than he can see,
and is a b ink director and president
of heaven knows how rnaney business
associations, a pillow of the church,
and a prop of society? Don’t you
know that ain’t!” expected to publish
evry frit of gossip you hear about
people?”
“Ain’t!” echoed the young men,
“what’s the paper for then? What of
it anyhow? Is old Barnwell mad
about it? Did anybody tell him ot it?”
The chief made no reply, and the
boys scattered to their work. A cis
ual watch w as kept upon the door of
the private office, and late in the after
noon it opened, and the chief came
out. lie was alone. T iere was a
dyspeptic look about bis eyes, like a
man who had eaton too much, and
nobody ever saw the new reporter or
heard anything of him again. But
we often miss him, and w hen the
town is quiet and the afternoons are
long, and there are no election news
to stir the fever of our blood, we
wish that he would come back and
shake up tho town once more.
HOW HE CELEBRATED.
BY KIZARRB.
“Tom, dear,” said pretty Mrs.
Hicks to her husband, as she turned
her plump, voluptuous little form out
of bed, and commenced putting on
her striped stocking, “Iv’e asked
mamma and a few friends to come
over and spend their Fourth of July
evening with us, so you’d better
buy some fireworks, and leave me
some money to buy refreshments
with.’’
Pooh ! nonsense love,’’,
husband transferring her bustle and
back hair from in front of the look
ing glass to a vacant chair.
•‘No, there’s no ‘pooh, nonsense,"
about it, I’ll order the ice cream and
don’t you get any of those horrid
fireworks that make such an awful
noise,” she coaxed, looking in the
glass at some musquitoe bites oa her
white round shoulders.
“1 don’t see what in the name of
Christopher Columbus and all the
saints in the calendar, you want to
hold a circus here tor. You women
get more foolish notions into your
head*, than there’s flies around an
empty sugar barrel,” bo replied,
stopping bis shaving a moment, to
admire her pretty white shoulders.
“And you wise headed men always
commence by scolding and end by
thinking the same as we do; now
don’t you?” she asked roguishly.
“1 suppose—-hang it all ! I wish to
the Lord you wouldn’t talk to me
when I am shaving !" he cried, ex
amining his ear in the glass, from
which he had carved a respectable
slice.
The converaajion dropped, and
during the day Hicks purchased and
sent home as a peace offering a large
box of fireworks, and the angel
twins, peace and happiness, found
themselves once more on the front
stoop of that household,
The evening of the Fuurth arrived,
and so did tho visitor% After tea
the party adjourned to Iho garden,
where they sented themselves in a
gioup to witness the pyrotechnic
display and fight mosquitoes, and
Hicks having provided himself with
a box of matches, lit a cigar, rolled
up his sleeves, and picking out n
rocket touched the fußo -off with his
cigar.
“Heavens Ahd earth ! do be cJf?-
ful!” screamed his wife, as the rocket
instead of traveling heavenward,
whizzed off in the direction of the
visitors, missing his mother-in-law’s
head by a close inch.
“I —I know he aimed at mo on
purpose, be-hecause I—l wanted
him to let me patch his pants, so—so
as he could wear them on wet days,”
sobbed lhat lady, settling her cap
and glaring viciously at the exhibi
tion.
Hicks bit his lips to keep] from
■ wearing, brought her some icc wa
ter, begged her pardon, and retnrn.
ihg to his place in the centre of the
grass plat, look another rocket from
the box and touched it off.
'1 his one did not prove a Centen
nial success. Hicks, in his anxiety
to prevent a repetition of the last
unfortunate error, pointed it the
other way, and it soared into the
house through an open second story
window, leaving a trail of firu behind
it like a comet. ,
"You’ve set tho house on fire 1’
exclaimed his wife growing pale.
This caused a break in the pro
gramma, owing to Hicks having to
visit the second story with n bucket
of water and some profanity. On
his return he selected a pin-wheel
from the box, and fastening upon
th fence, stepped forward, and after
some difficulty In finding the place
to light it, he touched it off, but it
seemed to work in an eccentric nnd
puzzing manner— instead of revolv
ing and throwing out a fiery shower,
it spluttered away like a wet candle,
then flopped half way over and kick
ed some burning coals into a young
gentleman’s ear, who was coming
forward to artist Hicks, and who
immediately left in search of a doc
tor and a drug store, and finally
l.en every one supposed the cursed
thing was out and dead, it exploded
with a report like that of a twenty
inch cannon, blowing all the vines
and plants down within twenty
yards of it.
Good gjacions, Tom, what queer
fireworks?’ said his wife, brushing
a spark offher dress.
“I can’t help it, love; I didn’t
maKothem,” he replied, fixing an
other one lip and lighting. “Tnore
what’s the matter with that?” he
asked triumphantly, as it spun
around, whirling fire in evory di
rection.
On its fifth revolution, however, it
slacked up and seemed desirous of
changing its course. Hicks stepped
promptly forward to assist it, but
changed his mind on its twisting it
self inside out, burning bis eyebrows
and mustache off, and dropping some
sparks down the back of his neck.
“Whoop ! Lordy!’’ he yelled, as
ho darted in the house, flung his
coat on the range, his veal in o a
corner and was pulling his shirt over
his head without unbuttoning it,
when his wife came running iu to
see w’hat ailed turn.
“Dear mo, Tom, what’s the mat
ter ?” she asked, as she saw*him
prance around the floor, swearing
and tugging at his shirt.
“Matter enough! Help me off
with this d—d shirt ! inv back’s
burut to a cinder!” he muttered,
emerging from the shirt, very red iu
the face.
Mrs. 11. examined hit* injuries,
soothed him, and returned to her
guests in the garden, where half an
hour later she was joined by Hicks
in a profuse sperpiration and a clean
shirt.
“Please let off some of those Ro
man candle*. Tom,’’ coaxed bis pret
ty wife.
Hicks felt as if he had some em
phatic rem irki be would prefer to
let off, but he bottloJ *.!jctn and corn
plied. Lifting a Roman andlo from
the box, bu lit tho steih and firod a
vt-lTcy of red, white and blue fire
balls, through an open door into his
next door neighbor’s hal way.
“Confound yon lor a thick skulled
old idiot, can't you seo where you’re
■hooting that fire ?’’ shouted the
owner of the house, rushing out in a
violent passion.
“Bother yourpld house!"screamed-
Hioke, mad as a hornet himself.
“Turn your enssed fireworks the
other way jor I’ll climb over the
fenco nnd kick your devilMh head
off !’* yelled hie neighbor hunting
around for a brick to throw at Jhiui.
liioke reversed the candle and the
next balk’(a red on<)"plumped his
mother-in-law, square between the
eyes, his wife caught iho while one
on her chin, And the blue ball wound
up the party by lodgiug in a young
lady’s back hair.
“D—n the thing, Jsnyhow!” he
•hrieked, throwing it into the fire
work b x, and in the next moment
that gaiden was full of blazing pin
wheel , feminine shrieks, shooting
rockets, m.sonline oaths, trirngleg,
taper ankles, Roman cardies, striped
stockings, fiery serp-nts, patriotic
garters, and five minutes later, Hicks
was up in his room, dresseeb like
Adam before the fig leaf innovation,
trying to count how many burns
there were to the sqnare Foot, while
Mrs, 11. in an undressed uniform,
was groaning and rubbing cold
cream over herself in the next room,
and trying 4o recollect all the cir
cumstances in the unfortunate affair.
[ Yankee Pintle.
UNDER THE SCAFFOLD.
lIT T. W. HANBHKW.
Where am I? A prison ! Oh, I
remember. Yon are a reporter, cli ?
and you want my confession ero the
cruel rope wrings the breath from
my body ? I killed him. Wo were
brother* : yet we were rivals. Both
loved the one girl, both haled with
an intensity of hatred brothers alone
can feel.
He was young and handsome ; 1
ugly and cripple. At an early age
I saw awret Alice Ray wiTYi all the
passion of my young heart. W*
grew up together, loving purely, de
votedly.
It was a golden September after
noon. Softly, Lily our boat lay
floating amid the pure white pond
lillies, drifting like a dream on the
bosom of the silver lake- I sat in
the bow, she—Alice, in her snowy
dreas, her.golden hair streaming over
her shoulders —sat in tho stern, her
soft, white hand* snapping the lily
stems, and twining the creamy blos
soms in the hands of her sunny hair.
Very beautiful she looked, with
the datk green leaves and snowy
flowers clustering mid her locks, and
showing of! to perfection her pearly
skin. Oh, happy days of youth,—
Gono, gone t
flow long I lay back in the boat,
looking into tho azure depths of hor
dreamy eyes, I know not ; it might
have been an hour—more.
Suddenly a low plashing broke
upon our ears ; oars dipping in the
water. Presently a boat turned the
curve, hugging the bank, and shot
into view. There was but one oc
cupant, a yoitng and handsome
man. Bending to his otrs and row
ing with easy grace, he eoon pulled
alongside of us.
Rising from bis seat he smiled
upon me and, said :
“Do you not know me, Mort ? I
am Horace, your brother.”
Yes it was he. For years—since
wc were children —he had been at
school in Paris. I knew he was ex
pected home, yet was not aware of
his arrival.
Rising in tbe boat 1 introduced
him to Ahce. Curse* on that day !
I marked the quick flush upon her
cheek, the gleam ia her eye. From
that hour he was her constant com
panion, ever by her side. Yes, I
was jealous, madly—coldly jealous.
I hated myself—Alice : and, more
than all, I hated Horace for coining
between ua with his girlish face and
early hair. Oh, how I prayed to
flm { away my crotches and stand
upright m he 1 Cur*# him, curse
him!
You wonder that brother esn curse
the memory of brother? Ido not,
Man! you have yet to feel the anguish
of slights from tbe being for whose
it: ar eal.e you would risk anything.
You have yet to feel tho rose yon
pluok withering in your hand ; you
have yet to sec the sunlight hidden
from you forever, to hear only harsh
ness in the skylark’s note ; to see no
color upon the fl-iwer you know is
beautiful. Hate ! I ldatho his mem
ory. Like a cloud be hid the sun of
love from ne>, and gloried in it. Oh,
oan I ever forget tho anguish of
those days ? They are stamped up
on my brain in letters of fire. Well
thia went on for throe months, and,
unable to stand it longer, I deterra
ined to spesk with him upon the
suhjec t.
It was s cold night in Pocember*
Ho had gone with Alioe to a skating
parly upon fhe lake. Donning ray
great coal and hobbling forth into
the blinding storm, I limped to the
corner of the luno. w here old Allan’s
mill stood, and entering tho gloomy
building, I wailed tho approach of
Horace. As I stepped into the old
rookery there was a scampering of
rats’ feet, and then silence.
Ten o’clock, and yet he name not.
Elevep, twelve ; a figure appeared at
'the fool of the lane, and whietled
Softly. Horace strode np the path
way, I stepped from the ehedow of
the building and confronted him. lie
started On beholding me and strove
to pass.
VWhere have you been ?” I asked
abruptly.
,*1 don’t know as it concerns you,"
he replied.
“You linve boen with Alice."
“And If I havu ?’’
“Cin!” I exclaimed,
The hot blood mounted to his
check in an instant. ,
“0!i, if you.were not lame." he
said with gleaming iyes.
“Well, strike my body—you have
shattered my heart."
“Your heart?" “He asked. “How?”
“Alice!” I murmured. .
He laughed suornlmlv
“Wl a is sbo to yon?” lie asked,
“Everjibing!” I replied, in choking
scents. “Before you came w ilh your
bahf fees she wa* mine—mine truly.
You think to win her heart, eh," I
continued savagely. “Bat you shall
not leave this place nntil you have
•worn to forget her."
Again that scornful laugh
“Fool!’’ he said in a sneering tone*
“You will not,leave her,” I asked.
“No," the answer,was a decided one;
I felt he would not.
“But she is mine,’’ I returned.
“Yours. Do you imagine for an
instant that lovely girl would throw
herself away upon you—a cripple."
I never can tell how it was ; but
the c u ch was lifted high in the air,
and descended upon his head with a
dull, heavy tlutd,) burying the iron
handle in his brain. Throwing up
both hands, my brother sank lifeless
at my feet. Sinking on my knees
beside tho corpse, I lifted the poor,
crushed head, and called his name
softly. He was quite dead. Then it
w as tho horror of my situation flash
ed upon me, and, with a scream of
terror, dashed madly from the spot.
I did not run far, Overpowered by
the shock, 1 sank senseless upon the
frozen earth. They found both of
us—the murderer and Lite murdered
—lying hut a few yards apart, lie
was buried in hallowo ground, while
I--I the wronged one—stand under
the scaffold, with the curse of Cain
upon my brow.
What became of Alice. She is in
a madhouse, for the poor fool loved
him.
See, here they are, the sheriff and
the afficers with the rope, the rope
of death in their hands. That’s it.
Ah, how terrible tbe cord feels about
my neck, Take it sway—away !
Good-bye. God bless you, sir.
Tell my fattier I am not bad at heart.
Thank God, my mother is dead, long,
long years.
There, give me my ertileh to hoble
to the scaffold. Yes, the very one
I struck him with. Ses %i-re. the
dark red stain on the iron. Ha! Ita !
ha! bis blood. Farewell. In half an
hour it will be over, and God shall
judge who in the guilty, fyo who lies
calmly slot-ping in tin old ohu eh
yard or lie who stands under the
scaffold.
