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. —«, «* IfesT An elderly gentleman travel ir!g*in a stage coach was amused by the constant fire of words kept up by two ladies. One of them at last kind ly inquired if the conversation did ut/t make his head ache, when lie answer ed with a great deal of .Naivete : “No madam, I have been married twenty eight years.” «♦» m. “Ma, has your tongue got legs ?” ‘Got what, child?’ ‘Got legs ina ?” ■‘Certainly not; but why do you ask that silly question*’ ■‘O, nothing only I heard pa say that it rims from morn ing till night; and I was wondering how it could run without legs; that’s all, ma.’ - . . &3T “Ah, ladies.” said an old bon vleant, as he opened a bottle ol wine, “what is more delightful than the popping of a ehampange cork!’’ “The popping of the question ! ” unanimous lv cried thj: ladies.
