“There goes the old Dutchman who
had the dangerous geese !” exclaimed
a friend in the country, the other day,
calling our attention to a Dutchman of
the “old school,” xvho was walking
slowly along the road. We asked for
an explanation.
“Why, when the Yankees first be*
can to settle hers, he was joined by a
slapsided specimen of’em, as he was
picking up the quills that his geese had
dropped iu their chattering morning
waddles, by the edge of an oblong pond
at the roadside. Presently one of the
geese stretched out his long neck at the
Yankee, who started and ran as if a
mad dog were at his heels.
‘I dold him/ said the old Dutchman,
‘not to be avraid; dat de geese wouldn’t
hurt urn any; butde geese did run after
him, dough, clear over the hill, and
none of um wouldn’t give um no rest
any more ; whenever lie came along
the street, I believe dey had a spite
agin de Yankees. Mein gracious ’ its
curious, dough, dal de geese always
went away, and didn’t come back any
more !’
The secret of that was that the Yan
kee, who was so afraid of the Dutch
man’s geese, had thrown out kernels of
corn, among which was one with a
fish-hook attached. Once swallowed,
the angry goose was in tow ol the fly
ing fugitive.
Indorsing a Story. — A Yankee,
Tiding in a railroad car seemed particu
larly disposed to astonish the other
passengers with tough stories. At last
he mentioned that one of his neighbors
owned an immense dairy, and made a
million pounds of butter and a million
pounds of cheese yearly. The story
produced some sensation, and the Yan
kee perceiving that his veracity was in
danger of being questioned, appealed
to a ftiend as follows :
“True, isn’t it Mr.*P ? I speak
of Deacon Brown.”
“\-e-s,” replied the friend, “that is,
I know Deacon Brown, though I don’t
know as I ever heard precisely how
many pounds of butter and cheese he
made a year ; but I know he has twelve
ga\v mills that all go by butter-milk,.”

One of the traveling agents of this
paper relates the following incident that
happened this week at Clinton, in this
State, and which he saw : Mrs. Trent
is an old lady, residing in Wapello, De
Witt county, and blessed witij a daugh
ter of marriageable age. Now, this
(laughter fell in love with a young man
named Hickman, and the twain pres
ented themselves before the old lady,
asking her blessing on their nuptials.—
The venerable dame didn’t bless worth
a cent, but drove the young man offde
claring that he should never have her
daughter; firsifv because he was too
small ; secondly, because he iiad a red
head. The young mar. offered to col
or his poll any tint the old lady might
wish—black, gray, or green, but she
would none of him, and drove him off.
It Hickman was small, he was also
brave, and he resolved to wed his
ehariner or perish in the attempt, and
so they started to run away to Indiana.
The old lady was on the watch at the
depot, at Wapello, and Hickman find
ing that he could not get on the train
there, hired a young man named Mari
on Swangan, to take them to the next
station, Clinton, where they arrived,
safely, obtained the necessary papers
and finding the train behind them, tliey
feared the old lady might turn up, and
so were married at daylight. Mrs.
Trent finding that they had gone to
Clinton, sued out a capias before Jus
tice Flowers, placed it in the hands of
constable Thomas, and together they
started to Clinton to arrest Hickman
fora debt he owed the old lady. Up
on their arrival in Clinton they found
the happy couple in the depot waiting
for the down train to go to Indiana.—
The old lady’s long pent up rage burst
forth when she found that her daughter
was married Mad ? A righteous in
dignation was no where !
She loved her daughter, and loving
her, proceeded to put in requisition old
Father Solomon’s recipe. In slang
phrase, “she went lor her.” She Hew
at the new made Mrs. Hickman, radiant
with bridal blushes, pulled off her chig
non, snatched down her back hair, ru
ined anew bonnet, woman like scratch
ed her face, and then wraked Iter ven
geance on her clothes. First, she tore
her dress oil, and then snatched away
her hoope. A second clutch and away
went her corsets. And she finished by
leaving the trembling wife standing in
a heap of torn calico with nothing on
but her shoes and stockings, and one
thin cotton garment, name unmention
able to ear? polite, and even that was
badly torn in front, and wretchedly
split up the hack. Hickman had neen
standing in the custody of the constable
while this scene was going on. love for
his new made wife and filial respect ior
his mother-in-law, strung’ing in his
bosom. But when he saw the charms
of his dulctnea thus rudely exposed to
the gaping gaze of the train boys and
loalers oCClinton, his blood gotup. and
he darted the rescue. But, bless you
he was nowheri. In sporting parl
ance, one “kisser” from his mother-in
law’s “bunch of fives,” smote his “right
peeper” and closing it, “sent him to
grass.” He retired and “threw up the
sponge.” This little diversion ex
hausted the rage of Mrs. Trent, and her
daughter, sending for a paper of pins,
fixed up her torn garments, and wrap
ping a large shawl about her, returned
to Wapello ; where may she live happy
and rear un a family in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord, is the wish of
this editor. —Peoria (///.) Transcript.

A clerical correspondent says: “If
we would only take the trouble to re
member how we felt twenty, or thirty
or forty, or fifty years ago when we
were listeners, how we endured very
patiently the first quarter ol an hour,
ltow, very soon after that, the eyes
would wander to the clock; how by
turns, we would grow impatient and
ashamed of our impatience, angry- and
ashamed of out anger, sleepy and as
hamed of our sleepiness; how ? mad
temptation would flash over us to fling
a book or a cricket at the head of the
unwearied sermonizer and stop his ceas
eless flow; how we would settle down
into a sort of numb and listless despair
somewhat akin to that which the ship
wrecked mariner ot the storm-bound
traveller must experience when all hope
is gone; if we would only call these
things to mind, we would no longer
dare to so tempt the good nature and
Christian endurance of our patient hear
ers Sunday- after Sunday.”
Per contra, another correspondent
says: “A lawyer who consumes three
hours in arguing a question of law re
lating to the ownership of a barrel of
apples, is indignant at his minister for
exceeding twenty-five minutes in un
folding one of the great principles of
morality on whose observance the tol
erable existence of society depends -
The judge, who fills two hours with his
‘opinion, An the right of the counsel to
challenge a witness, grumbles at his
minister because he has prolonged the
discussion of fundamental laws of hu
man progress to thirty minutes. The
physician, whe takes ten minutes to
prepare the medicine for a headache, is
nervously restive if his minister spends
only twice as many in attempting to
relieve a chronic heartache. The belle
who has spent —how long? in adjusting
the bows of her bonnet, (? ) is remorse
less in her criticism on the minister who
does not finish his meditation on the
fatherhood ot God in fifteen minutes. —
The fop, who has combed, and stroked,
and perfumed, and waxed his beard
and moustache for half an hour, is mor
tified past endurance if the poor min
ister is not through his discussion of
the irumorialltfe ‘inside of twenty-five
minutes,”
CARTERSVILLE, GA., FEBRUARY 7, 1808.
Angling for Dog.
Brick Pomuroy tells the following:
Another time we were traveling on
grounds we had no right to tramp over.
The only excuse was like that of mili
tary necessity—it was better fishing
through the farm where the trout had
been preserved than in the open lots
where all could fish.
It was early morning. We had ris
en at three, ridden then miles, and
struck the creek as the trout were
ready for breakfast. Looking careful
ly for a sheltered plane to hitch our
horses, we slyly crept up befind
fences, etc., till we reached of
the stream not generally fishAL , A
farm house stood a quarter of a mile
away. We saw the unrning smol#
curling lightly from a stove pipe—saw a
man and two boys come out to do
chores—saw two women busy abojit
the door, and a ferocious buU-ung
wandering abmjtrthe y ard. If ever «t?
fished close it was then. Not a whis
per to disturb the birds, or the owner
of the land. We crawled through the
grass—dodged behind dumps of al
ders, and lifting large speckled bean
ties out of the water till our basket was
full.
This was the time to have gone ; but
the trout were so large and hit so read
ily, that we could not withstand the
temptation, so we decided to string and
hide wiiat we had, and take another
basketful. fc'o at it we went. No
sooner would the hook touch the wa
ter than we had a trout. We forgot
the house, the man, the boys and the
dog!
Suddenly there was a rushing through
an oat field, as if a mad bull were com
ing ! We looked toward the house, and
saw the farmer and his two hoys on a
fence, the woman in the door and the
bull-dog hounding toward us. We
saw it all, we had been discovered. —
The well-trained dog had been sent to
hunt us out, and, as the matter appear
ed, it was safe to bet he was doing that
! thing right lively.
To out run a dog was not to be
thought of. There was no time to
losp. Heeleared a fence, came for us
just as we reached a front seat on a
limb above his reach.
Here was a precious go! a vicious
bull-dog under the tree, and a farmer
and two big boys ready to move down
on our works. It was tight, foot race
or far.gs !
The fanner yelled out to his dog—
‘watch him, Tige!’
Tige proposed to do that little thing,
and keeping his eyes on us, seated
himself undei the tree.
Then spoke this ugly farmer man—
‘Just hold on thar, stranger, til! we get
breakfast; then we’ll come and see
you! If yon are in a hurry, however,
you can go now ! Watch him. Tige !’
We surmised trouble—very much :
for twice had that bold man of bull
dogs and agriculture elegantly wollop
ed innocent tourists for being on his
suburban premises. His reputation as
a peace man was not good ; and there
arose a large heart toward our throat !
Time is the essence of contracts,
and the savage ordinance for those in
trouble. We had a stout line in our
coat pocket and a large hook intended
(or rock bass if we failed to take trout.
And, as good luck would hive it, we
had a nice sardwich and a piece of
boiled corn beef in our other pocket.
We called the dog pet names, but he
wasn’t on it ! Then he tried to move
down—when he’d move up ! At last
we trebled our bass line, fastened the
great limerick to it, baited it with the
corned beef, tied the end of the line to
a limb, and angled for dog !
Tige was in appetite. He smelt of
the beef; it was very nice. He swal
lowed it, and sat still with his eyes on
us lor more, but with no friendly look
beaming from his countenance. Not
any !
When we pulled gently on the line—
it was fast, Tige yanked and pulled,
hut it was no use! The attention of
the canine was diverted from us—his
business was beirg done by another
line !
We quickly slid down the tree—
coming near blistering our backs doing
it—seized the basket and pole, and
straightway went thence somjewhat
lively.
We fouud our string of fish and
reached the buggy and a commanding
spot in the road, in time to see the
sturdy yeoman move fourth.
We saw him and his cohorts, male
and female, move slowly, as il no
haste. We saw them look up the tree
We saw an anxious group engaged
about the dog. We caine quickly
home, and kindly left the bass line and
hook to the farmer.
A Sheriff’s Attachment-
Court was in session and amid the
multiplicity of business which crowded
apon him at term time, he stopped at
the door ol'a beautiful widow on the
sunny side of thirty, who, by the wav,
had often bestowed melting glances on
the aforesaid Sheriff. He was admitted
and the widow appeared. The confu
sion and fright which the arrival of her
visitor occasioned, set off to greater
advantage the captivatingeharms ol the
widow M ‘ Her cheeks bore the
beautiful blended lints of the apple
blossom; her lips resembling the rose
buds, upon which the morning dew yet
lingers, and her eyes were like quivers
of Cupid: and glances of love and ten
derness, with whicothey were filled,
resembling arrows which only invited
a “beaux” (pardon the pun) to do full
exeiution. After a few common-place
remarks, “Madam,” said the matter nf
act Sheriff, “I have an attachment for
you.”
A deeper blush than usual, mantled
the checks of the fair widow; while the
J glance of her downcast eyes were cen-
J lered upon her beautiful foot, which
half concealed bv flowing drapery, pat
ted the floor. She with equal candor,
replied:
“Sir, the attnehmert i® reciprocal.”
For some lime the Sheriff maintained
an astonished silence, and at length he
saidr
‘Madam, will you proceed to court?'
‘Proceed to court!’ replied the lady,
with a merry laugh; then shaking her
head, she said, *No, sir; though this is
leap year, I will not take advantage of
the license therein granted to mv sex,
and, therefore, ] grratly prefer that you
should proceed to court.’
“But, madam, the justice is waiting.’
‘Let him wait; 1 am not disposed to
hurry matters in so unbecoming a man
ner; and beside, sir. when the ceremo
ny is performed I greatly prefer a min
ister to a justice of the peace.’
A light dawned upon the SheritTs
brain.
‘Madam/ said he. rising from his
chair with solemn dignity, “there is a
great mistake here—my language has
been misunderstood —the attaenment
of which I speak was issued from the
office of Squire C , and commands
me to bring you instantly before Itim to
answer a contempt ofcourt, in disobey
ing a subpoena in the case of Smith vs.
Jones.’
We drop the curtain.
Woman-Mlark Twain's Opin
ion of Her.’
At the annual banquet of the Wash
: mgton Correspondents’ Club, held on
the night of the 12th inst., the Star
reports the twelfth toast as follows .
‘Woman: The Pride of the Profes
sions. and the jewei of ours’—was re
sponded bv Mr. Clemens, better known
as- Mark Twain.’
Mr. Twain remarked as follows:
Mr. President —I do not know why
I Should be singled out to receive the
greatest distinction cf the evening—for
so the office of replying to the toast to
woman has been regarded in every age.
[Applause.] I Jo not know why I
have received this distinction, unless it
be that I am a trifle less homely than
the other membets of the Club. But,
be this as it may, Mr. President, I am
proud of the position, and you could
not have chosen any one who would
have accepted it more gladly, or labor
ed with a iieartier good-will to do the
subject justice than I. Because, sir, I
love the sex. (Laughter.) I love all
ths women, sir, irrespective of color or
age. [Laughter.J
Human intelligence cannot estimate
what we owe to woman, sir. tShe
sews on our buttons, [laughter,] she
mends our clothes.[laughter.] she ropes
us in at church fairs—she confides in
us. she tells whatever she can find out
about the little private affairs of the
neighbors —-she gives us good advice—
and plenty of it—she gives us a piece of
her nfir and sometimes —and sometimes all
of it —she soothes our aching brows —
—she bears our children—ours as a
general tiling* Jn ail the relations ol
life, sir, it is but just and a graceful
tribute to woman to say of her that she
is a brick. [Great laughter.]
Wheresoever you place woman, sir
—in whatsoever position or estate —
she is an ornament to that place she
occupies, and a treasure to the world.
[Here Mr. Twain paused, looked in
quiringly at his hearers, and remarked
that the applause should come in at this
point. It came in. Mr. Twaix re
sumed his eulogy.] Look at the noble
names of history ! Look at Cleopatra!
Look at Desdemona !—look at Flor
ence Nightingale !—look at Joan of
Arc !—look at Lucretia Borgia ! (Dis
approbation expressed.) ‘Well/ said
Mr. Twain, scratching his head doubt
fully, ‘suppose we let Lucretia slide.’
Look at at Joyce Ileth ! —look at
Mother Eve ! [Cries ol *Oh ! ‘Ok ]
You need not look at her unless you
. want to, but (said Mr. Twain reflect
ively, after a pause), Eve was orna
mental, sir—partially before the lash
ions changed ! I repeat, sir, look at
the illustrious names of history ! Look
at the Widow Machtee —look at Lucy
Stone ! —look at Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton !—look at George Francis Train !
[Great laughter.] And. sir, I say it
with bowed head and deepest venera
tion, look at the Mother of Washington!
she raised a boy that coulu n ot lie
could not lie! [Applause.] But he
never had any chance. [Oh ! Oh !]
It might have been different if he be
longed to a Newspaper Correspondents
Club. [Laughter, groaus, hisses, and
cries of ‘put him out.’ Mark looked
round placidly upon his excited audi
ence and resumed.]
1 repeat, sir, that in whatever posi
tion von place a woman she is an
ornament to society and a treasure to
the world. Asa sweatheart she has
few equals and no superiors [laughter]
—as a cousin she is convenient; as a
wealthy grarnFmotlicr, with an incura
ble distemper, she is precious ; as a wet
nurse she has no equal among men.
[Laughter.]
What, sir. would the people of the
earth be without woman ? They would
be scarce, sir almighty scarce !
Then let us cherish her —-let us protect
her—let us give her our support, our
encouragement, our sympathy our
