BY JAMES MAUItICE THOMPSON,
In those-days I struck out fair .from
the shoulder with as good a liorht arm
and as solid a tiist as ever interfered
with the lachry makluct, or jolted the
Adam’s apple of any fellow. I don’t
know that I particularly liked fighting*;
but somehow, without much trouble,
I got a heap of it to do. Practice and
much careful study of <lbe world’s
way of rolling along, bad given me a
clear insight into the manner of dis
posing of a chap so as to gain the
gpeateet possible fame. My graetest
accomplishment in the matter of fight
ing, was my laugh. It a feller insul
ted me I didn’t fly into a roaring pas
sion, and curse ans swear rft hina; nor
did I rub my flst under bis nose.
That would have been common. I
laughed Tee-lie-ha-wa-a a!—that way.
I put on ,a very pleasant look, and si
died up to my man—so. Then I tap
pe(l him with n y finger oil shoul
der and said to him, “Don’t you love
me, honey ?” “Xot that I know ol
you red headed, cowardly son of a
rainbow!” said he. “Let me kiss you
now, won’t yon?” said I ot by a
gourd fill, said lie. But I must, said I
hh!lJing, and just about then lie got
choked on six of liis teeth, and a splin
ter of Ins jawbone. You know how
the things done about, round in cer
tain districts where law don't have
half a show. Arkansas, Texas, Cali
fornia and Missouri are ready exam
ples I suppose I’ve wol loped fifty
men in each one of these States, some
of them four or five times api<soe.
Guess I’ve told you about Diost ol my
scrapes but one, and that one was a
curious affair—Didnt think I’d ever
you about it at all; 'butU’s been so told
long ago. Let me see; all, yes, nigh
on to twenty eight years—may l>e
more. Guess it has. Iso difference
about dates, it was a long time ago
any how, long time ago. I wouldn’t
tell you now, but somehow I don t
-feel like sitting here smoking always
with nothing to talk about, when it
does seem so much like living life
over again to talk up these old scraps.
Seems like this tobacco burns too fast;
give me some of yours. Thank ye.
Yes, this is better. Burns slow like.
Couldn’t tell you bow I first .came
to go to Dahlonega fcny more than if
the wind bad blown me there. Some
ltow or other I don’t keep in mind
just the year I went. Fact is, it’s a
eood deal like a dream, all dim and
misty-like, just as you've seen moun
tains away off in Indian summer
when the wind was not blowing any
ofnecouwst, and everything seemed
dozing. I didn’t go to Dahlonega to
dig gold at all, though for that mat
ter they were acooping .it out right
lively'then. ‘’Dahlonega is down in
Georgia, you know, and there’s a gov
ernment there. Beckon I went down
there to fight ; douif know what else ;
though, as I told yon, I can’t say that I
particularly liked fight ing.
"When I went there ‘Dalilonega was
just like almost any gold mine town,
a huddle of shanties, and in most of
the shanties they had more-or Jess li
quor to sell. Greatest place for .corn
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAYIMORNING, JULY 26, 1872.
ijj lusky I ever saw, unless it was the
V>ucktown copper mine in East Ten
nessee.
The first evening after I got there,
I had four fights, and licked four men
and I didn’t get even a scratch. Os
' course thi,s gave me a reputation at
.once, for, as jt happened, I had whip
ped four bullies of .the south .end of
■town, all in one evening. One of
Phem, I remember, I kngcked into a
mortar pit where the mud-mortar was
a foot deep. That’s what he got for
.coughing in my face. The other three
J don’t mind now what I mauled
lAiem for. I think, though, that one
of them caught his muss for asking
me for a chew ot tobacco, and when
I handed him my plug lie put a cor
ner of it in his great slobbering mouth,
and bit off a piece instead of cutting
it with a knife. I ain't clear about it
but I think I kicked him clean over a
pile of bacondu Snipes groccrv. Nev
er did like for a man to bite mytobac
.co.
■. ft Avas in the spring that I went
down thereto Dahlonega, and that
hill country of North Georgia is a nice
►place, to be at in the sprihg. Sea
'breezes and mountain winds blow
the land in a gusty, careless
kind ot way, making a solemn moan
ing in the pine tops that now-a-days
-touches a tender place in my heart,
setting memory to work rummaging
over ,a little heap of things put away
in my bosom as holy. Ah, may'be you
never thought I had a real tender heart
-always beating under the iron like
muscles of my great rugged breast,
but I guess may be I have. Here,
fill my pipe; tobacco burns faster than
common somehow.
J was going to tell you that one
morning I was dragging Lase Owens
across the street by the hair of the
Lead, punching him on the nose a lit
tie so that next time he wouldn’t b e
apt to call me a hoosier, when sud
denly I came face to face with a
young woman. Lase was bawling
out “NTiff,” (meaning enough,) and I
shootin’ it to him just about my best
licks, and the blood a flying—l look
ed right into that girl’s eyes before I
knew it, and I dropped Lase Owens
as if J had been stabbed. She was
the prettiest thing I ever saw. Cu
rious I had dreamed of that face all
my lite. A cs, sir, dreamed of it more
than a thousand times when sound as
leep in my bed, and I bad never seen
nor heard of her before. Now it seem
ed as if she bad dropped before me
from the sky. Curious.
She tor nod a, little pale, killed round
me and went her way. I gave Lase
one more kick, and went over to Can
trell’s -and got a cigar, to eec if smok
ing wouldn’t quiet my feelings, for I
■toil;,you that sweet face had thrilled
me like a galvanic shock. All that
day I was in a reverie. I went from
place to place like a spleep walker.
Time went on and 1 soon got to be
master at Dahlonega, so far as fight
ing went. Everybody began to give
the road to me, treat me and fondle
about me generally. Wherever 1
went 1 could hear them say as I pas
sed, “There goes Tom 1» oyster. Bet
ter bet lie’s one of cm! Twont do to
fool along with him, I tell ye! But
while such words as these greeted rny
ears constantly, there was a sentence
almost invariably added in an under
tone, “Wonder when Limber Stick
Tube ’ll be back!” I heard that name
occasionally spoken among the miners
and gamblers, but now it was begin
•inuto be on evervbody’stongue. Lira
ber-Stick Tobe seemed to have an in
fluence in Dahlonega. It somehow
at once got into my head this man,
this Limber-Slick Tobe, was to be my
rival in one way or another. This
kept me from making any inquiries
about him.
As days went by I occasionally saw
the glorious girl 1 had so loved in my
dreams. It would so happen that she
must several times see me fighting.—
I hated this. I had got my beard and
hair neatly trimmed, and had been
more careful about my dress lately, all
on her account. To save my life, I
couldn't see her without having my
heart go into a foolish flutter, and
feeling my face'get pale and red by
turns. Oh! for that matter, I may as
well acknowledge that I loved her as
soon as I saw her, for I did.
“What young lady is that? said I
4o my landlord, one day, as the object
of my admiration was passing along
the street in front of the hotel.
“Thats Nettie.llallew, ’ was the re
ply.
“Where does she live?”
“At home.”
In less-than twenty minutes the
landlord was entirely used up. The
young lady heard him bawling, and
looked back just in time to see me
put on the finishing touch by grind
ing a handful of dirt in the fellow s
eyes.
Could it be? .I thought. T es, I was
almost certain she smiled, as our eyes
met in that backward glance !
I helped the landlord up, and said
to him in my smiling way: “1 guess
may be you can tell me where she
lives now. Tell me in less than ase
cond.”
“The-she-1 1-ives j-jnst out of t town
on the hill n-north, in the w w-white
house, among the pines,” he replied,
out ot breath with pain and terror.
I knew where the place was. Had
passed it often in going to the “dig
gings” of Col. L . It was the
only really comfortable residence I
knew of anywhere in .that vicinity. A
two story fiame house, painted white
with a nice portico in front and large
windows with green Venetian blinds,
was something quite in the aristocrat
ic line at that time, in and about Dah
lonega.
Early on the next morning after
making the discover) of the home of
the Nettie Ballew, I called for my
horse and rode out past the house. I
had no object in view, only a faint
hope that I might see the young lady.
I don’t know what made it so turn
my head, but I was nearly crazy
about that girl. Well, I didn’t get to
see her, and after lingering in the
neighborhood of the house for some
hours, I started back to town in a
somewhat dispirited mood- .1 asked
•myself what I meant. What was I
to think of loving this beautiful, deli
-cate girl! 1,.a roving rake, a rowdy,
bully, riot-hunter, law-defier, a desper
ado! Could 1 ever make myself
worthy of her ? Wasn’t it the merest
nonsense to be thinking of it ? Tlius
wise filled with self-reproach, cha
grin, remorse, and almost desperation
to the last degree, I rode toward town
with my hat drawn down far over my
eyes. As I passed Tibb’s saloon I
heard*some one say : “And Limber
Stick Tnbe has come back, and it’s
all setting up.”
I paid little attention to the remark;
but I had gone only a rod or two far
ther when I passccl two or three mi
ners going “ down town,” when one
said to the other: “ Linlber-Stick
Tobe lias got back.” A little farther
on a group of men were lidding some
sort of a confab on a street comer.—
From someone in the group came the
words—“lf Limber-Stick Tobe can’t
do it, nobody can.” Then as I got
well down among the saloons, and
the throng of such men as gather
about gold mines went stilling and
buzzing around me, from every quar
ter came the name Limber-Stick Tobe.
It was now about neon, and as soon
as I reached my boarding place, I
went t-o nay room to collect my facul
ties, for I began to snuff a big fight.
I had heard enough to convince me
that Limber-Stick Tobe was the ruling
bully of Dahlonega. and that I had
come in his absence and usurped bis
place. That was the long and short
of the business.
I was sitting on the side of my bed
smoking my pipe, thinking about what
was probably to be the result of my
longer staying in Dahlonega, when a
great shouting and yelling began in
the street below- I drew back my
window curtain and looked out. A
great crowd of men motley as such
crowds can be, was streaming along
the sides of the street, waving their
hats and shouting, “ Hooray for Lim
ber Stick Tobe! ” Along the middle
of the street rode a man on whom all
eyes were turned. Os course that
man was Limber-Stick Tobe. He was
apparently about forty years of age,
short and thick-set, with heavy limbs,
round shoulders, a big square head
that seemed to set tight down on his
body without any neck at all, and a
face at ougc mild, self-satisfied and fie
tennined. The forehead was broad
and high, very slightly retreating, the
eyebrows black and heavy, tine eyes
steel gray and rather small, the nose
acquiline, the mouth thin-lipped and
firm, the chin square and advancing.
He wore a broad brimmed hat, under
which his black hair hung in coarse
curls. lie carried in his hand a black
walking stick which bent and quiver
cd all the time with its own weight,
so flexible was it. This man smiled
blandly around*on the crowd, ackowl
ed<nn«' the cheering by freequentlv
waving his stick. Finally he passed
out of my sight, and I heard them
cheering on after him. This was the
man I had to fight. I felt it. I knew
it. I took my hat and walked down
dnto the street.
“ Who was that fellow on the horse?
I inquired of a man standing on the
hotel steps.
“ That! That was old Limber-Stick
Tobe, as they call him,” B was the re
plv. \
“Is he much of a fighter ? I ques
tioned.
. “Fichtes! fighter! Limber-Stick
Tobe fighter ! ” said the man em
phatically. and gazing strangely at me
Then turning to two or'three others
near by he continued; I say there,
Jack, Jim, Ben, this man wants to
know if Limber-Stick Tobe is much
of a fighter!
“A fighter! you bet,” said one.
“vGuess his way of figting would
be ’prising to Capt. Tom Royster, eh,”
said another.
I set my teeth and turned away,
determined to fight Limber-Stick
Tobe at the first opportunity. I walk
ed down the street and turned the first
corner, when lo and behold, I was face
to face with Nettie Ballew. How
sweet she looked ! How pure and
good ! She smiled as she passed me.
Such > smile ! I’ve heard talk of
angels, and I do believe she was one,
almost!
Give me just another pipe of vour
tobacco. Thank; you very good to
bacco it is too.
Well, a week from that day I was
lying in bed all battered and banged
up. My eyes were nearly closed, my
nose made into jelly, my head as
knotty all over as could be, mv arms
and body just as sore as a boil. In
fact, I was nearly beaten to death, all
of whieh was done by that man Liiu
ber-Stick Tobe I forced the fight
on him. He said he didn’t want to
•fight. Said it would disgrace him,
but if nothing but fight would do me,
here goes. Then that limber stick
began to wrap me round my head in
sharp, well-aimed, rapid blows, that
do as I might I couldn’t avoid. In
fact, he licked me, thrashed me till I
bawled.
Now, then, I had been lying in bed
about a week, suffering in mind and
body on account of the drubbing, the
only one I ever did get, when my land
lord came in with my dinner.
“Well,” said he, as he sat down the
tray of victuals and looked at me dole
fully. “Well, Tom Royster, you are
getting well enough now to explain
matters a little, and I want to know
what on earth you picked up and
(forced a .fight .with old Tobe Ballew
for.? ”
I gazed at the man steadily for a
moment to see-that he was not quiz
zing me for sport, then I said: “Why,
just he’s always been ’the
bully here and I wanted that position
myself.'*
M Been tire bully! ” echoed the
landlady, “Been the bully ! Why, he’s
a Methodist preacher, and never had
a fight before in his life, man.”
“ What ! I ejaculated in utter
consternation.
“ Certain, sir, lie's a Methodist
preacher, and in spite of his good,
pious ways all the miners, black-legs
and speculators like him, for lie don’t
care a cuss if they have all their fun
with him, and call Limber Stick
Tobe, instead of Parson of Ballew as
they ought to.”
“Ballew! Ballew!” I muttered
“ Is he any relation to Nettie Ballew?’
“Certain, sir, she’s his—”
“Thunder.! Xord! What have I
done landlord ? ’’ said % in a breath,
“ post right off to Parson Ballew,. and
tell him to come light here and see
me quick J ’
The landlord gave me one startled
look (I must have looked deathly,)
and then bolted off. Ballew happened
to be passing along the street, and was
brought right in. I was crazy—l was
wild.
“Oh, Mr. Ballew, forgive me, for
give me ! " I cried. “ I didn’t know
that you was Nettie’s—”
“Husband? ” he putin very calmly,
“ Yes, she’s my wife 1 ”
“ Here, take this pipe ; guess I’ve
smoked enough.”
Shun Affectation.— There is noth
ing more beautiful in the young than
simplicity of-character. It is honest,
frank and attractive. How different
is affectation. The simple minded
are always natural. They are, at the
game time original. The affected are
never natural. As lor originality, if
they-ever laid it., they have crushed it
out, and buried it from sight utterly.
Be yourself, then, young friend. To
attempt to be anybody else is worse
than folly. It is an impossibility to
attain it. It is contemptible to try it.
But suppose you could succeed in im
itating the greatest man that ever fig
lived in history, would that make you
any letter ? By no means You
would always suffer in comparison
with the imitated one, and be thought
of only as a shadow of a substance,
the echo of a real sound, and the coun
terfeit of a pure coin. Let the fabric
of vour character, though .aver so
humble be at least ical. Shun affecta
tion.
Ye at. Cutlets.— Take some veal, a
piece of fillet or the next slice of the
legs, and cut into pieces a litte larger
than a crown piece, and less than a
quarter of inch thick, beat them out
rather thin and trim nicely. Egg
and bread crumb them and sauce them
in butter,. .Fry some slices of ham
or bacon, and place them on your
dish alternately wtih the veal cutlets,
and pour round tomato sauce or
any other sauce which may be iq>-
proved of.
Men Who are in Prison.
Among tire political prisoners in
the Albany Penitentiary, sentenced
under the infamous Ku-Klux law is a
man by the name of Moore, and this
is his history, as he gave in brief, from
his sick bed, to the editor of the Uti
ca Bee :
“Before the war 1 was well-to-do
planter in Alabama. I owned many
slaves, which constituted nay wealth
The events of the war reduced me
nearly to poverty. At its close I gath
ered together tl»c fragments of my
ruined estate, hired a few of my for
mer slaves and commenced life anew.
All went well with me until a month
or six weeks ago, when I was suspec
ted of being a Ku-Klux, arrested by a
United States Marshal, given a hasty
trial, found guilty, sentenced, and two
weeks ago was brought from Wash
ington to this prison. My term is ten
years.
The editor of the Bee adds : “The
man vowed upon his honor, and as he
prayed that it might be his deathbed,
that he wHs as innocent of the crime
charged against him as I was. He
knew nothing whatever of the Ku-
Ivlux. I asked him if he had a fami
ly. The mention of family seemed to
paralyze him with grief. He sobbed
bitterly, and between the-tears I heard
him moan ‘Oh! my poor little boy—
my poor wife. I hastened away, but
under the pretense of filling his kid
with water, in a half hour I returned,
lie was still lying on his narrow bunk
and clasping a Bible in his hands and
seemed deeply interested in one of the
plaintive Psiams of David.
How a Camel Goes Tiii:ougii the
Ete of a Needle. —The passage
from the New Testament, “It is easier
for a camel,” etc., has perplexed ma
ny good men, who have read it liter
ally. In oriental cities there are in
the large gates small and very low
apertures, called metaphorically “need
les eyes,” just as we talk of windows
on ship board as “bulls’ eyes.” These
entrances are too narrow for a camel
to pass through in the ordinary man
ner even if unloaded. When a load
ed camel has to pass through oue of
these entrances it kneels down, its
load is removed, and then it shuffles
through on its knees. “Yesterday,”
writes Lady Duff Gordon, from Cairo
“I saw a camel go through the eye of
a needle; that is the low arched door
of an in closure, lie must kneel, and
bow the head to creep through; and
thus the rich man must humble him
self.”
Roll Call in Heaven —An inci
dent is related by a chaplain who was in
lie army during oneof our hard fought
Fatties. The hospital tents were fill
ing up fast, the wounded men having
been brought to the rear. Among
the mortally wounded was a young
man apparently not able to speak. It
was near midnight, the surgeons had
gone their round of duty and all was
quiet. Sudden!)* this young soldier,
before speechless,-calls in a clear dis
tinct voice, ‘“Heres!” The surgeons
hastened to his side and asked what
he wished. “Nothing, said he,
they are calling the roll in heaven,
and I was answering to my name !”
He turned his head and was gone—
gone to join the great army whose
uniform was washed in the blood of
the Lamb.
Scolding. —This habit—for it is a
habit, and lias little meaning to it—is
very -disagreeable to persons of sensi
live orgaizationa, and grates' upon
their nerves in a terrible manner.—
Many a home has been wrecked by this
disagreeable habit, which begins with
trivial faults, and finally imagines
faults wire re none exist. Even if they
do exist, scolding does no good, but
often provokes lo a continuance in ev
il ways, or to the formation of bad
habits if none existed previously.
