I was nrful drv ’intljer t!:tv, George, : an find in a lot ov jrre«it w.viskv, 1 jit stickid in a skin full ov hit strait along - . 7’iie nmuthfal i swallaril I lit-ari: it splosh in tnv he..is. I was dry an’ empty bosh. hy golly—so dry that arier liit ris puny well up in my pauncii,liit soaketl through an stood all over my belly ill draps, maliin* it look like a big riiirnle kivered with heads, but I swelled tight arter a while, an’ then I filled up purty soon. As soon as I could reach tut, bv runnin* a spoon handle down my front, l shot off steam, an’ sot bit to rovin’ roun’. Hit want long afore I found mvself tangled by the laigs in the dorg fennel, an’ I fell head down hill, so I thought the mos’ peaceful thinu l could do were tu go tu sleep tbinkin* of a rnnnin’ windmill. Well, I dreamed me a dream. I thought I were in hell, an’ had been sent there fur votin’ the itadikil ticket. I felt the justice ov the sentence, so much so lhat I didn’t tee) so uneasy an’ mail obout hit as I wnd a been if they had sent me fur murderin’ a blind ole ’om ui, or makm’ a back log ov some gai’s fus baby, arter soakin’ il in turpentine, or sieh like common weakness. 1 thot I had been tliar long enough to sorter begin to git used to the taste ov the whisky they stills down thar, an’ I must say 1 thinks hit a little better than the truck what the skulkers out ov the Confederate army biled for the Government, because hit 'Jitfent create the appetite to cuss, steal or desert half as soon, an’ me in Tophet at that, i ’Twas safer whisky, George, safei i whisky. Well! 1 thought hell was a t pertecklv roun’ hole —as rulin’ as a bumbsheli, riglit plum in the centre ov j the yearth. The walls were glazed as : slick as an ingvun peelin’, an’ hit were I jist iia.ii-l.uli ov melted dinner pots, dog irons an’ ole clock waits, with a scum ove smokin’ brimstone a foot deep. ’ The devi’ stayed aboard ova boat, an’ had himself rowed roun’ jist as he pleazed. by th -j jury which foun’ ihc true b : il agio Jeff. Davis. They look sorter like they’d like to have another pop at that job. I think, bv golly, they’d hunt a long spell afore they foun’ hit agin il they jist had another chance. j I thought thar were long feather aidged cleets nailed on the walls to climb by. T K ey were square-aidged up so the climbin’ had all to be done on one side, an’ whenever fellers got tired a svvimmin’, they jist sot in to climbin’. They’d sorter slack off sometimes until sunk in the melt ed water up to the pint of thai fail bones, an* then, by the gost ova scared monkey, they’ve come up overhand tu filar work agin, jist a wrigglin’ an’ a snortin’. They worked like «quirre!s on a tredmill. Durn’d if tha dident keep the thing rollin’ strait along, an’, George, jist as sure as you is a foot hi, that’s wh it keeps the yearth turnin’ aroun’ I has foun’ out at las’. Well ! one day the trap door opened, and the devil ordeied ole Forney to steer un der the hole. He steers wild an’ after swimmin’ nearly all over hull he got hit thar. when down poured into the boat ihe durued’st since of mean lookin’ cusses yu ever seed. Everybody al ready thar turned their heads to look at ’em and cb»m faster, skeered at’em, by golly ! "J’hey were Iladikiis the last durn’d one. Some had maps aroun’ their nex, with i rumiin’ nuee ahin’ the year, some had had holes in their heads, some had a hig gill rut under their chins, and every one shoed signs of bard times and hurry. Among ’em I seed Stevens, Sumner. Wane, Butler —surnamed the Be-a3L—an’ Wendell Phillips. “Hey!’ sez the devil,‘what’s wrong above cholerv?’ *Wus nor that.’ sez Sumner, ‘the Constitution people buz riz, an' ov korse we are all here Say, ver nvajestv, is Preston Brooks here ?’ *oh. no,’ sf z toe devil. ‘Weil,’ sez Sumner, sorter brightening up, an’ ruhbin’ his hands, ‘l’m (turn’d glad he ain’t. ‘Stop a rninii,’ sez the devil, ‘wait ontil I sort you all out.’ He tuk up a needle as long as a har poon, and with a big pile of trace chains he threaded it. Then he picked out all ‘lip common cusses among ’em and strung ’em on the chain, runnin’ the needle in at their mouths, an iettin’ it come out lhar—l torgot which—and then hung the whole bunch over the aidge ove the boat into the brimstone. Jehossafat! how the\ sizzl'd an’ slosh ed an’ dove, and sprinkled hot iron about wif their tail? ! A string of sun pearch would have heenjist nowhar. While the devil werp stringin’ the small frv, Boiler, surname the Beast, aidged back to whar I sot in th * boat, a keepin’ one eye it on the devil and ’tother on me. and he whispered in my ear, * Wh°t's Sisyphus ?’ Sez I, ‘I don’t know; why?’ ‘Oh! nothin,’ only 1 wanipd to see which knowed the most ov .iiir trades, him or me.’ Tnen he whispered (that mortal off eye nv his’n Klill sot on the devil.) Say does vu know whar his majesty keeps his spoon?’ Sez 1, ‘Dies you see that chain hangiu’ over the stern? He ke<=! 8 ’em in a bio- pot sunk at ’tother end of hit.’ He jist went over the starn head lust, an’ cooned hit down the chain outen sight under the brimstone. After being gene a spell, he came back lookin’ diaappinted like, but his gmeial looks were pnwerfuUv improved by his bam in melted brimstone. i s\vow. he looked a heap more like a human. Sez he, ‘Gone, pot an’ ail.’ I I opened mv eyes. $< z he, ‘Ham’i Forrev goi ’em ?’ Sez I. -May be so; he’s been fumblin' roun’ the slam a good while.* Dim if he didn’t sarcb every pocket Forney had. an’ the oie cuss never eotcli him at hit. an’ begot the spoons. While this we.e gwine ■ on, old Thad. were a Irvin’ to claim kin wif the devil, a comparin’ his foot along wif old Nick's. I think the pint were to git an office, f<<r 1 heard the devil keep savin’, ‘No, no, 1 bn darn if I do, we has order here now.’ An* all the time ole Wade were a pesterin’ his majesty lor a free ticket on ins doggery. I si ed lhat the devil were a gittin monstrous or,easy. Wendell Phillips kept a w itehin’ Jus’ the side that went down under the cinders, an’ then the side what come up out ov the iake. He jist hopped overboard, and swum over thar, -an’ livin’ his durmiesl to 1 turn hit ’totiier way, he’J grab the slopin’ side ev the cleets. an* then slosh | back agin among the mailed dog'irons an’ brimstone. I reckon he must a 1 made fifty trials afore he quit and swum j back to the boat, an’ then he sot in the , most earnest manner to persuadin’ the devil to take < ff the cleets, an’ nail ’em ! on agin upside down, so as to turn hell 1 backwards, an’ ov knrse the outside j world witli hit, without giving a single reason why it would help the matter, riiisouade the devil bile over, ilesed not a (lain one ov ’em should stay thar, another hour. 'That they’d raise a re- 1 hellion sure an’ destroy the institution, i an’ then what would the world do, j particularly New England? I tell yu he jist raced : sez he, ‘l’ll j clear my dominion ove you durr.’d j quick,’ an’ lie ranged a big bommerton, I what were in the boat, point blank at! the hatch hole, an he loaded in old j Wade, feet lust and made Forney tetcii ‘ hit off. By golly! lie went whizzin . through the hole, and hit rained whisky , on the hike onlil Im burnt blue. Next he grabbed old Thad. ‘Sez he, train- 1 blin, please, yer majesty, load her in ! vvii me,’ a piit ti n to a she-mgger atrung on Uit* chain ; sez the devil, ‘N<*, sir; i ! think we can manage her arter yu is j gone; and besides, she looks like she! needed a little rest.’ Golang ! and 1 jist coleh a glimpse of Thad’s hooked foot scrapin’ a splinter off the hatch combin’! Next lie yoked Sumner, and lie begged to be loaded head fas. as be sed he’d always traveled start! fus thro life, an he wanted to finish his journey the same wav.-m accoudt of his record". So, starn-lust he went omen the hatch hoie, an I reckon slam fust he busied agin sumfin away yonder on the out side. Butler’s surname the Beast’s torn cum next. While the devil Wete a loodin’ him in, 1 observed him busy a button in up his pockets. When the mortar tired I were wntchin the hatch dost; 1 dident like the idea of his leaving; but dam if he went thar, he hdlered the line over his cock eye, and busted into a million pieces r.gin the wall. Spoons and breastpins fell a foot deep all over the lake, and l he urn the wimmen all cheer. The devil then licked his lips, and went for Wendell, but he jist loped overboard and dove, and tu save his life the devil couldnt find him. He will ruse trouble thar yet, see if he dont. Next he grabbed Forney, his steersman, as sez i.e, ‘Yu dont steer to suit me,’ and he com menced a loatlin him in, anil (font yu believe, just as the cuss’s head were join out of sight, he whispered in ‘he devil’s year chat I were Jamison,- the actor. The devil remarked, ‘l've got niiffin agin Jamison, yu is the one;* mad at me. bv golly, borage he seed tbe Beast out smarted him in the spoon business. 1 beam surnffin like quack!—quack * down in the bowils of the mortar, an hit went off. and so dhl the duck. Thar’ll be peace in he!! for a while, if the devil kin only ketch Wendell an rekonstruct the durned raskil. Old Smuttv reached for me the last one, an pul me nlown his gun. 1 sot in to bengitj hard. He sez, ‘You must go ; the prosperity ov my kingdom de mands that r.uffin havin the smell nv Radical onto his close can stay here. 1 seed you whisperin wif the Beast, an I’d shoot out old Robespierre hisself, if I were to catch him at silch at! ornary trick, and he is bin helpm roll hell roun in a orderly wav . ever since the French Revolution.’ By gollv ! I ji?t limbered all over, the gun roared and I awakened. Nov/ what do you think was the matter wif me ? Wfty, ole Bob Hays were trvin his best to splinter a four fort clapboard over me, said he wanted me to get outen his paster afore he shut his gate for the night. I were a swettir orful, George, perfectly or ul. I aorter wished l had dreamed on a little lfnger. I’d a liked powerful well tu a four) out what had become ove old Thad arter he were shot out ove hell. Hit’ll sorter injur his standiu. won’t hit. as he roams through nufin forever? I bleeve if I’d bin him, I’d rather stayed lhar wif my sbe-nigger. Bin hard on her, though, an a little too good for him. Aiut Ia hoss on dreams? The cheapest excursion you may make is into the realms of faocy. No r«lurn ticket ia inquired. A ili£ti Tribute to tit-5 LLar:.;e ter of C>eix. I.t In a long editorial article calling fir the d'Miultot) ot ill 0.1)00 to Washington College, by the friends and admirers f (ion. Lee in Bu|iai»d, the London Standard of August 17 speaks of fjun as follows “There is no living hero—-there are none, if any, whose name shine with the purest lustre in lustorv whose charac ter it <>9 commanded so high a tribute of affection and admiration from their friends, of respect and lionet from their toes, as that of Gen. Lee. No life more perfectly heroic, no reputation more untarnished even by the minor blem ishes which pre not uncommonly found in union wilt) the highest heroism, has ever been connected with a great national struggle. No shade of vanitv or egotism, nothing of the self will or petulance so often characteristic of conscious genius, no tinge of affection, no taint even of the pride almost in separable from ordinary greatness of mind, which can endure everything but humiliation, and regards submission as disgrace, aMov the simple grar.de.r of the Virginian soldier's nature. “A piety without tho slightest shadow o<‘ Pluiraseeism. a sense of duty to which the sacrifice of every personal feeling and interest appears a matter of course, have marked his whole course and guided his every public art, wheth er as a soldier or as a citizen. A family connection and the nearest living representative of the great champion of American independence, Gen. Lee has been the Washington of the Confeder ate war ; like Washington, a mart “whom envy did not hate,’‘■but without even one dark stain of doubt, if no; of dishonor, which the death of Major Andre hhas left on his prototype. No more “unselfish man and stainless gentleman” ever lived ; no soldier ever set a more admirable, example of the soldierly virtues of honor, chivalric. generosity, and manly simplicity ; no great man ever retired into obscurity alter witnessing alike the ruin of his. cause and the destruction of his private fortune, with mors Christian patience and unshaken fortitude. “Os his military achievements we need not speak. It is enough to say that nearly ail his victories were won against enormous odds, and that his four years’ defence of Virginia has few parallels in history as an example of. great results accomplished with Small means and a fearful disadvantage. What is now more interesting to rc«. member, is the personal character of the man, as displayed in tho various exigencies of that trying struggle ; the simple honesty aud kirdiy feeling which prompted him to console his poidiers as they recoiled from the: cannon-crowned heights of Gettysburg,, witii the assurance, “ft is all my fault;” the unaffected self depreciation which pronounced, when Stonewall Jackson iell. “I could wish, for the sake of our cause, that I had been disabled rather than vow;” the Christian chivalry, which no outrage could provoke to re taliation ; which, after Virg 11; a had been rendered a desert, withheld the army that invaded Pennsylvania from inflicting the most trivial injury 011 person or property ; which, when his owti estates had been plundered, ravag ed, confiscated, took care to prutect the houses and property of his enemies ; the horror of useless bloodshed which withstood the cry for retribution excit ed by the murder of Southern prisoned* in cold blood, and suppported tho resolve of the President that unless tha actual murderers were taken, no blood, should be shed but on the field of battle ; the touching unselfishness of of his lest words to hi« disbanding army, on the sorrowful 9th of April, “I have done my dust lor you. But it was when ail was over—when the chief ot a great and long victorious army was a private man and a paroled prisoner- that the peculiar greatness ot Gen. Lee’s nature shines out with unequalled brightness.” Montgomery Blair remarked in a. speech the other day that President Jonnson had defeated the Conservative party by retaining his enemies in of fice. and advised him to get rid of the spies,around him. There is somethirg very extraordinary in Johnson’s course with reference to the officers over whom he has or had control. He has constantly suffered men of the most, bitter Radical views to fill the offices about him, from the highest to the lowest. Now it is true he is precluded by the civil tenure act from making all the changes that ought to be made, but before he was thus crippled in his prerogative it was the same; and even in those cases tiiat the act in question cloet. not reach he Goes not pretend to exercise a saiutary authority. There is something in all this reaiiy inexpli cable. How a corrupt, cruel, unprin cipled man like Stanton, for instance* can be retained in the responsible and confidential post of Secretary of War by the President, who knovvs his vil lainies in all their depth and volume* and who go widely dissents from all hi* political views, is past finding ouU«" Johnson is a good talker, t?u: u * j&V'-Sv.
