THE STANDARD ANIFEXPRESS.
SMITH, MIKLE & CO,]
T()l'( HfNG INCIDENT AT THE
BATTLE OF CHICAMAUQA.
Editors Atlanta Svn: When the
dying words of the patient and good
express great moral courage in the
darkest hours of human trouble, they
ought to be published for the honor of
the dead and the good of the living.
1 1 is under this earnest conviction that
I am induced to give a brief, but, I
may add, a literal account of an inci
dent that came under my own obser
vation, amid the battle scenes of Chic
simauga in 1864.
Sqine three days after that memo
rable event, in which so many thous
ands were -lain by the contending ar
mies. I was engaged with others in
looking up the scattering wounded
that had been overlooked by the am
bulance corps, and was alone return
ing to camps in tin* evening through
a thin woodland, that gradually slop
ed to the waters edge, when I suddenly
came upon a wounded Soldier sitting
agahist a large oak, whose majestic
boughs were lifted far above the
smaller trees that formed a beautiful
grove around it. At that instant he
was gazing so intently upon some ob
ject in the west that he did not per
ceive me, although I approached al
most near enough to touch him.
i paused and admired for a moment,
for the tail, symmetrical form—wide
forehead, and bright piercing eyes of
the soldier, at once told me that there
was something ennobling in bis char
acter. As I stepped forward, he seiz
ed my hand with a convulsive grasp,
and with quivering lips of joy, ex
claimed :
“ 1 am truly glad, my friend, that
God lias sent you at this auspicious
hour; for 1 am mortally wounded,
and 1 desire to tell someone, that I
fought a good tight and have fell at
my post. 1 was this minute gazing
upon that setting sun for the last
time; but’ere the morn, I shall be
hold another, and brighter Hon, the
Bon of God, who will shine throuph
one eternal day for me.”
As neither the expression of his
countenance, nor the elevated tone of
his voice, indicated anything likeap
proaching death, I quickly examined
his wounds, with a hope of finding
some evidence to the contrary of his
sad conclusion; but the passing of a
large minnie ball through his entire
body, was fob conclusive as to the fi
nal result for me to hope to do more
tor the dying man than to palliate his
present suffering.
Ho picking up his war-worn canteen
and ragged haversack, that lay empty
at his side, requested him to be pa
tient whileT would go to tlus camps
for bread, and to the river for water, |
and I added that in the meantime I
would notify the ambulance corps to
have him borne to some more com
fortable quarters before the chill dews
of night should fall around him.
“ No,” said the soldier, “ I cannot
give my consent to deprive our al
most perish iug soldiers of one morsel
of bread, white they thus sniftering,
yet press on to battle and to victory ;
nor can I drink of that muddy stream
whose waters are yet red with the
gore of my fallen comrades, when I
shall soon drink of that purer river
upon whose vernal banks I shall sit,
not as I do here to-day, in gory gar
ments, beneath this barren oak, but
in bright habiliments beneath the la
den boughs of the Tree of Life, of;
whose fruits I shall eat, and hunger !
no more.”
“ And as to removing mo to some j
more com sortable quarters, I am glad
to inform you that ample arrange
ments have already been made ; but
my escorts from here will not be a i
detachment of rough soldiery, who
would carry me on torturing litters to
some lonely hospital of pain and suf
fering; but it will l>e a bright con
voy of angels timt will bear me on
‘Flowery beds of Ease,’ to ‘an house
not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens.’
“ T fully appreciate your gooct In
tentions, and must thank you for your
generous spmpathy, but you can do
nothing more for me at present, than
to lay me down upon that grassy turf,
and pillow my head upon this moss
covered root.”
This done, he handed me a card
with his name beautifully written in
his own hand, and requested me to
write to his good wife to follow him,
and bring with tier their lovely child,
to that better world, where there are
no more wars, parting and suffering.
Assuring him that all that he re
quested would be cheerfully done, I
gave him my hand for a final adieu;
and as 1 expressed the deepest regret
on leaving him to suffer through the
cold night alone, his whole counte
nance suddenly lit up again with a
radiant smile, while he exclaimed
with a firm voice:
“ You mistake, my friend. I am |
not alone, and have not been since I|
fell in the arms of my Redeemer here;,
and as He is always good company, f
would be pleased if you could only
spare the time from the surviving I
wounded to come and be with us at I
iny final exit to-night.”
Feeling deeply impressed with the !
rather novel manner of the invitation.
1 readily assented, and fully Intended
to return early ; but unexpected bus
iness at the camps detained me until
a very late hour.
It was midnight, yes, solemn, silent
midnight, when the full-orbed moon
had reached her highest place in the
heavens, and the ghost-like shadows
of the thin skirting clouds that were
moving to the west, passed in slow
and solemn procession at my feet, and
over the ghastly dead that yet lay un
buried along my dewy pathway.
I paused a moment to listen amid
the solemn surroundings, but could
hear nothing hut the rumbling waters
of the river and the hurried shrieks
of nighthawks that were assembling
from adjacent forests, to hold high
carnival over the carnage of battle. I
could but think how many widows
and orphans that perhaps* then lay
dreaming of the fond return of the
sleeping dead around, who would
awake no more to the joys of friends
and home.
While thus sadly musing, 1 neared
the spa' where I had left the wound
ed so er, and beheld through the
dim light his noble form yet lying as
1 had rest it.
I must confess that I approached
with a slow and cautious tread of awe,
for I felt that if angels ever visited
suffering humanity on earth, that
they were then encircled around the
hallowed spot, where my deep rever
ence foi the spiritual would not allow
me to rudely invade.
1 stepped forward and touched his
cold hand, but it returned not the re
sponsive grasp that had welcomed me
before. I stooped low and spoke, but
no answer came from the silent lips
that were sealed in death. The cold
sweat had mingled with the dews of
night upon his noble brow; and the
full blue eyes that had flashed so elo
quently in life, were now half-bleared
and up-turned in the pale, starry
light, as if the restless spirit, wearied
with the sufferings of earth bad been
lust, wistfully looking out from these
mortal windows to the heavenly
world, into which it had then flown
to its eternal rest.
In this triumphant death, unsur
passed among the most renowned of
earth, has Charles Wooding, an hum-
F nvate m me service orTns"coun
try, left a bright example of Christian
faith and. fortitude that ought not on ly
to be written on paper, but indelibly
engraved upon lasting stone, that the
living ofother ages might read how
nobly it is possible for a patriot sol
dier and Christian to die amid the
most embarrassing circumstances that
can possibly surround human life.

A TRUE TALE.
THE FROZEN HEART; OR, JURIES
AND INJURIES.
CHAPTER I—UNBEQUITTED HOVE.
’Twas leap year. Olivia D’Errin
ger sat on an elegant fanteuU adorned
with tl*e family cnevaux-de-frise a
poniard, or, on a field (/ides, with the
chaste motto “pmez a moi. ’’ Our
heroine was sad. I ler life was blight
ed by a union to one who could not
understand and sympathize with her
finer nature. Hhesighed for an af
finity.
Thcdoof bell fang. She looked up
listlessly at the entraoe of a manly
form. It was that of her family phy
sician, I)r. Pillsbury. A strange
magnetic chord thrilled at his ap
proach. Here was a being whom
she could love.
Or hate!
“ Madame, I called to inquire after
my patient, my friend, D’Erringer.”
Olivia drew herself up to her full
height, and flashed an elegant glance.
“ Kir, cans't minister to a mind dis
eased ?”
“ I beg your pardon, but ”
Bhe interrupted him with a mean
ing gesture; then, melting in all
womanly tenderness, she fell upon
his neck and said :
“Doctor Pillsbury, dear Doctor
Pillsbury, I know what you would
say. ’Tis enough. You love me. I
am thine.”
“ Rut, madame, 1 assure you—
think for a moment—my friend,
D’Erringer ”
She touched a bell. An obsequi
ous servant appeared. Olivia open
ed her secretaire, took out a vial and
handed it to the servant with a sig
nificant gesture in the direction of
the invalid’s chamber.
CHAPTER II —SCORNED!
Olivia awaited in silence the me
! nial’s return. He came and said
| with a bow:
“ Madame, ’tis done.”
“ Enough. Inform the undertaker”
Tumbling to her guest, with a
winning smile, she said:
“ Dear Doctor Pillsbury, the upas
tree of our happiness is fallen. Be
mine.”
Doctor Pillsbury was confounded
for a moment; then replied:
“ There is my wife.”
Olivia frowned darkly,
i “ Man, are there no divorce
j courts ?” she hissed rather than spoke.
“ But my children !” he feebly re-
I monstrateb.
Olivia smiled scornfully.
“And you cull yourself a doctor,”
she said contemptuously.
“ But,” urged theuufeeling wretch,
here is some misconception. I do
not-—”
“Hat then you love another?”
“ I must confess that ”
“Enough!” she shrieked, “Vile
dissembler, you would crush ajoving
bosom! You would trifle with a
gentle heart!” She drew a condens
ed navy of elegant workmanship.
“ 1 go to an early grave, but not un
avenged! Die, villain!”
He died.
CHAPTER III—VILLAINY BAFFLED.
A coroner’s jury sat on the two
sets of remains. They brought in a
verdict of murder against Olivia.
She smiled calmly and with quiet
womanly tact invited the jury to
lunch.
She waited on them with outward
composure, but with an aching heart.
The obsequious servant waited on
them also.
Then the martyr went to her dun
geon.
The jury died that day of a pecu
liar disease. Unfeeling calumny
pointed the finger of suspicion at our
heroine.
CHAP. IV —INNOCENCE TRIUMPHS.
A miscreant Who had read the
newspapers was expelled from the
jury box. A double-dyed wretch,
who could not tell black from white,
was also put out. Three dark and
bloody desperadoes who pleaded
guilty of common seri.se, were also
excluded.
Twelve sympathetic idiots, duly
proved to know nothing of the case,
and to be incapable of forming an
opinion about anything were select
ed.
A bully for the defence.
A “ chivalrous gentleman” for the
prosecution.
A martyr in the dock.
An owl on the bench.
Two rival doctors testifying ns to
the cause of demise.
A lunacy commissioner, to prove
that crime was insanity, as he always
treated insanity as a crime.
An audience to correspond.
Some money.
Result—a verdict of justified ec
centricity.
The crowd cheered.
Olivia fainted.
She had fourteen offers of marri
age, sixty engagements to lecture be
fore leaving the dock.
Her counsel called next day with
his bill.
•X- ***** *
The bar passed resolutions of re
spect to his memory.
CHAPTER V—THE FROZEN HEART.
But Olivia is unhappy. She feels
a void in lie.t life—an unfulfilled mis
sion. The widow of the false Doctor
Pillsbury is gone; she fieri with her
offspring to a distant land.
Olivia would revenge her wrong,
but cannot. Iler heart is frozen.
MORAL.
Never put off a murder.
THE GREAT MYSTERY.
The body is to die. No one who
E asses that charmed boundary comes
ack to tell. The imagination visits
the land of shadows—sent out from
some window of the soul over life’s
restlees waters—but wings its way
back without a Jive leaf in its beak as
a token of merging life beyond the
closely blending horizon. The great
sun comes, goes in the heavens, yet
breathes no secret of tlie etherial wil
kerness. The crescent moon cleaves
her nightly passage across the upper
deep, but tosses overboard no signals.
The sentinal stars challenge each
other as they walk their nightly
round, but we catch no syllable of
their countersign which gives pass
age to the heavenly music. Between
this and the other life there is a great
gulf fixed, across which neither" foot
nor eye can travel. The gentle friend
whose eyes were closed in their last
long sleep, long years ago, died with
rapture in her wonder-stricken
eyes, a smile of ineffable joy
upon her lips, and hands folded over
a triumphant heart; but her lips
were past speech, and intimated
nothing of the vision that euthralled
her.
SUNSHINEAND SLEEP.
Sleepless people—and there many
in America—should court the sun.
The very worst soporific is lauda
num, and the very best, sunshine.
Thefore, it is very plain that poor
sleepers should pass as many hours as
possible in sunshines, and as few as
possible in tlie shade. Many woineu
tlie maity in, uud yet they tlo not
know it. 1 hey shut the sunshine
out of their houses and out of their
hearts, they wear veils, they carry
parasols, they do all possible ito keep
off the subtlest aud yet most potent
influence which is intended to give
them strength and beauty and cheer
fulness. Is it not time to change all
this and so get color and roses in your
Eale cheeks, strength in our weak
acks, and courage in our timid
souls ? The women of America are
pale and delicate; they may be
bloomy and strong, and tlie sunlight
will be a potent aid in this transfor
mation.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 187*.
THE FAT CONTRIBUTOR—HE
WILL BE A CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.
The hour has arrived. I can wait
no longer. The highest interests of
the nation demand that I present
myself as a candidate for President
of the United States. I have waiter!
for someone else to bring me out,
but in the multitude of candidates no
one seems to have thought of me. I
don’t think much of myself; but a
man don’t want to think much of
himself to be- a candidate for Presi
dent now-a-days. If he had any self
regard at outset he would think very
little of himself by the time he got
through with himself.
1 am one of the peogle —I might
say one of the boys. I came m> from
obscurity, and I have brought up a
good deal of obscurity with me. I
never had any politics—nor much
i else. lam “ Liberal” to a fault, and
ready to receive votes from any quar
ter, although I am not ready to give
quarters for any vote.
As for a platform, suit yourselves,
geqtlemen. The lecture platform
would probably suit me as well as
any other. Having stood upon near
ly every platform in the West, it
would be hard for you to get up one
1 could not stand on. In the absence
of a platform, give me four acres, and
I’ll stand on that.
I am the special friend of the la
boring man. No one likes to see a
man work better than I do. In fact,
I had rather see a man work than
work myself. lam not only averse
to working more than eight hours,
but I am opposed to working a sin
gle hour! I shan’t even work for
my elevation, leaving that for the
men who want the offices.
1 am in favor of paying the nation
al debt. It is in fact the only debt I
am in favor of paying; and rather
than not see it paid during my ad
ministration, I will pay it out of my
1 pocket.
In the matter of civil service re
form, I intend to do the civil thing
by the nation if the nation does the
civil thing by me. Being civil is so
rare a condition now-a-days in the
varied walks of life (to say nothing
about the runs) that reform is urgent
ly culled for.
Retrenchment is my motto. If
you can’t put a retrenchment plank
in the platform put in a board. I
; am ready to work without any sala
ry, hut I shall insist upon my board.
I am rather inclined to free trade,
preferring to feel free to trade where
j ever I please; but if a tariff plank is
necessary to my election put it in. I
i shall not get on a tariff if I ain’t
I elected.
Pledge me as strong as you please
;to the temperance men. The tem
perance pledge won’t hurt me one
! bit.
No relative shall hold office, no
matter whose relation he may be. I
I shall appoint none but old bachelors,
childless widows and orphans. Any
j man who has a relation in the world
need not apply for an office under
my administration. I have a few
relatives of my own holding office
i now, but they shall be promptly
i kicked out as soon as I am elected.
One brother-imlaw has a little coal
office on the river. He must give it
up. A third cousin on my neighbor’s
side drinks too much occasionally,
and I shall give him notice to quit.
Another relative lias a hankering af
ter George Ellis’ “ Office.” It won’t
do him any good. You see, lam
| determined to reduce the “ relative”
! expenses of the government.
I engage not to accept any gift im*
I less it be the highest office in the
j gift of the people. If lam ever call
| ed “ our present chief magistrate,” it
won’t be chief magistrate of presents.
Not being a man of commanding
presence anyhow, there would be
probably few presents that I could
command. What few natural gifts I
may have, however, I shall endeavor
to retain. They are not worth mak
ing any fuss about.
1 am not only in favor of woman’s
rights, but of woman’s rights and
lefts. lam in favor of women vot
ing, provided they vote for me. I
| see no reason wily a woman should
! not hold office, except, perhaps, the
difficulty in getting hold of it. Nor
should there be any bar to a woman’s
accumulating property and support
ing a family if she wants to.
I may be asked how I would treat
the Indians. I wouldn’t “treat”
them at all. They have been treated
too much and too often. My private
opinion, however, is, that it will be
a treat when there isn’t an Indian
left.
I stand by the old constitution that
has been tried. Few men have tried
their constitutions more than I have.
1 accept the amendments, every one
of them. When it comes to amends,
I am ready to shout “ amen” as loud
as anybody.
1 understand there is an ambitious
man named George Francis Train
who aspires to be President on his
promise to free Ireland. I engage
not only to free Ireland, but to make
Irish whisky free in the bargain. I
shall, at least, be able to tie George
Francis Train in the popular vote,
unless one or the other of us is kept
away from the polls. Hang it, 1 be
lieve I could tie the Davenport
brothers!
I shall inaugurate a wholesale
! emancipation business as soon as I
|am inaugurated. No goods retailed
1 at the White House when I am Pres
ident. I engage to emancipate wo-
I man from the thraldom of fashion, to
give the “ boys” their rights, and
I abolish the custom wnich excludes
j children in arms from the elevating
and purifying influences of the thea
' tre, 1 have pledged myself to free
; Ireland and to free postage; to free
housekeepers from the tyrany of
i servant girls, free prws, free passes,
and free-boaters, to Lee soil, to free
! tickets to shows, free drinks, free
press, and “J. N.” Free. I trust I
am not making myself too free. —Fat

THE WAY SHE CURED HIM.
“ What brings you here, Mary ?”
said Tom Truesdell to bis wife as she
entered tlie liquor shop.
“ It is very lonesome at home, and
your business seldom allows you to
be there,” replied the meek but res
olute wife. “To me there is no com
pany like yours, and as you cannot
come home to me, I come here to
you. I have a right to share your
pleasures as well as sorrows.”
“ But come to such a place as this ?”
expostulated Toni.
“ No place can be improper where
my husband is,” said poor Mary.
“ Whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.”
“ Surely you tire not going to drink
that stuff?” cried Tom, as she was
taking up a glass of liquor.
“ Why not ? You say you drink to
forget sorrow; and surely I have sor
row enougli to forget.”
“ Woman ! woman ! you are not
going to give that stuff to the chil
dren?” cried Tom, as she was. pass
ing the glass of liquor to them.
“ Why not? can children have a
better example set them than their
father’s?” Is not what is good for
liim, gwJ for them also? It will
put them to sleep, and they will for
get that they are cold and hungry.
Drink, my children—this is fire, and
bed and clothing. Drink; see how
much good it does your father.”
With some reluctance, Mary suffer
ed her husband to lead her home,
That night he prayed long and ear
nestly that God would help him to
break an evil habit, and keep a new
ly-formed but firm resoultion.
His reformation was thorough.
Mrs. Truesdell is now one of the hap
piest of women, and remembers with
melancholy pleasure her first and last
1 visit to the dram-shop.
POETRY.
ONE BY ONE.
The following beautiful lines ad
monish us, as what does not, to pre
pare for that hour, when we shall
stand upon the margin of five river,
and alone enter into its icy tide. The
author is unknown :
They are gathering homqward from
every land,
One by one.
As their weary feet touch the shining
strand,
One by one.
Their brows are encircled in a golden
crown ;
Their travel-stained garments are all
laid down,
And clothed in white raiment they
rest on the mead,
Where the Lamb ever loveth his
children to lead,
One by one.
Before they rest t hey pass through the
strife,
One by one.
Through the waters of deatli they en
ter life,
One by one.
To some are the floods of the river
still,
As they ford on their way to the
heavenly hill;
To others the waves run fiercely wild,
But all reach the home of the undefil
ed,
One by one.
We, too, shall come to that river’s side,
One by one.
We are uearer its waters each even
tide,
One by one.
We can hear the noise and dash of the
stream,
Now and again, through our life’s
deep dream;
Sometimes the floods all its banks
overflow,
Sometimes in ripples thesmall waves
go,
One .by one.
Jesus, Redeemer, wo look to thee,
One by one.
We lift up our voices tremblingly,
One by one.
The waves of the river are dark and
cold,
yfe know not the spot where our feet
may hold,
Thou who didst pass through iu deep
midnight,
Strengthen us, send us thy staff and
thy light,
One by one.
Plant thou thy feet beside us as we
tread,
One by one.
On Thee let us lean each drooping
head,
One by one.
Let but thy strong arm around us be
twined,
We shall cast all our fears to the wind.
Saviour, Redeemer, be thou in full
view,
Smilingly, gladsomely we shall pass
through, . r
One by one.
CHARITY.
In tlie life of every individual there
are certain controlling influences
which call out what there is in him
and shape Lis character. It depends
upon the quality of a man’s metal
whether he gets melted into eagles
or dimes. One’s “ second birth” de
| pends much upon his first. The con-
I trolling tendencies of his religious na
ture may have come down to him
through generations of ancestors. A
I man may inherit his grandfather’s
i opinions uu well uu liis property
■ The mass of Christians are conform
| ed to the creeds under which they
i were born. All are more or less
moulded by the pressure of surround
-1 ing opinion, and every one is, in a
i degree, bound by the prevailing sen
timents he has to make. If we could
trace back and understand the deter
l mining forces which have been chis
j eling away at a man’s nature since
1 his birth, we should rot so much
} wonder at his strange notions and pe
| culiar views. In this, as in every-
I thing else, the scope wherein a man
; may exercise a choice, is limited.
! There are many formative influences
beyond our control, and the chief and
crowning deduction to be drawn from
a recognition of these truths is that
grandest and chiefest of the Christian
virtues, charity—charity for the
opinions of others however they may
differ from our own.
HOW TO BREAK DOWN MOR
MON ISM.
A Salt Lake letter says: “When
j the congregation was dismissed, the
: rustle of silks and flashing of dia
, monds attracted my attention and I
I saw many poor Mormon women gaz
ing with longing eyes on the rich
; dresses of their Gentile sisters. The
I contrast between saints and sinners
! was still further heightened by the
conduct of the men. The Gentile
men tucked the arms of their pretty
wives under their own, and walked
away with a proud air, while the
Mormou women trudged off alone.
How could a Mormon husband tuch
the arms of half a dozen wives into
! his? And, if he escorted one, or
even two wives, how would the rest
feel? If I wanted to break down
Mormonism, I would put a dozen
French Millinery stores in Salt Lake
City, give General Morrow, the mili
tary commander, $15,000 to $20,000 to
entertain with during the Winter,
and station a strong corps of good-!
looking young army officers at Camp 1
j Douglas.”
A LIVE MAN.
There is one man in this “ burgh”
whose business capacity is really as
tonishing. He usually attends, be
fore breakfast, to his store and other
matters, besides transacting business
with about 43 men. After breakfast
he transacts business with a few more j
men, shakes hands with about 150, at-!
tends to an extensive mail matter,!
and is ready at 8 a. m. for school. He
teaches all day long. In the mean j
time he edits a paper, prints a music
book, looks after his rather large real \
estate, sells a few fiddles aud guitars,
i some clothing, guano, quinine, sew- ;
ing machines, carriages, wagons, eali-1
co, boots and shoes, instruction books I
for all branches in music, family gro-1
ceries, tobacco, (no pipes, as he don’t!
smoke himself,) farming implements,!
chill medicines, liver medicines, deals
in rags and wool, patent tire extin-1
guishers, Mrs Winslow’s soothing syr
up, also, swaps horses occasionally,
etc., etc. It generally takes 16 men
and one boy to keep up his stock. He
has more irons in the fire than any
; man in Christendom, China not excep
ted, and burns fewer of them than any
other man we know of. Mr. E. T.

How It Pays.—A friend tells us
Mr. jbiamond has, near yie city, six
teen acres in watermelons, and thinks
I the.crop will realize some $2,000. Mr.
D. sold S7O dollars worth on Saturday.
Our friend tells usAlr. D. prieipally
cultivates melons and sweet potatoes,
and last year made on a field $3,000,
where the year liefore, in the eultiva
i tion of cotton, “ ours” lost 8150. Mr.
D. brought to the city Saturday five
melons whose united weight was 250
pounds. He is one of the men who
declares from actual experience that
fertilizers will not pay on cotton.—Cb

He that does good to another man,
does also good to himself; not only
in the consequence, but in the very
act of doing it; for the conscience of
■ well-doing is a very ample reward.
RAILROAD ADVENTURES IN
OHIO.
[* John’’ in New York Sua.J
I was riding in the cars some days
ago, and I sat alongside a fellow who
was weatherbeaten ns if he had been
sitting six weeks astraddle of a water
melon trying to put out the sun by
spitting at it. We conversed. I said
to him, “ What’s your name?”
Said he, “ Adolphus.”
Says I, “ Your mother’s name?”
Says he, “ Mary.”
1 looked amazed, and says I, “ Ma
ry ! Mary! can it be possible that you
are the lamb?”
Says he, “The what?”
Says I, “The lamb that Mary had.”
He revealed the fact that he was not
. the lamb, and he further observed,
“ It is all-fired hot.”
►Says I, “ Did you ever vLsit a tropi
cal clime?”
Says he, “A what?”
Says I, “A hot clime.”
Says he, “ Jiinminy crix, stranger, j
! I’ve plowed up a side hity Fourth of
July when the sun set my straw hat
on fire, and if that ain’t ft hot climb
why I hain’t been to one as yet.”
Before I had time to reply, the
1 conductor came along and shouted
i “ tickets.”
Greeny—l’ve got none.
Conductor—Money then.
Greeny—l hain’t any.
Conductor —Got a pass?
Greeny—No, I hain’t got a pass.
Conductor —Thunder and spikes,
i you don’t expect to travel on the cars
for nothing, do you?
Greeny—You advertise to hike a
fellow for nothing anyhow.
Conductor —How so ?
Greeny—Why, down there into
your orifice in Cincinnati, you’ve got
a great big sign stuck up in store wri
ting, it says, “ Through to New York
without change,”
The conductor dropped his anchor
and put that fellow ashore right by a
big white post with some black letters
on it which read C 80 miles.
THE WONDER WORLD.
Geolocical researches are constantly j
bringing to light fossil remains of
monstrous animals that once roamed |
over the pleasant place now in the oc- 1
cupaney of civilized meu. It is ama- j
zing that bones should have resisted i
the physical revolution that the earth j
has undergone since they were in ex
istence. Being sealed up beyond the i
reach of atmospheric influences has 1
saved them. Organic remnants of
colossal reptiles are most striking.
Next to them the stero-dactyles, or
flying dragoons. Recently,* at the
West, the oSseous frame-work of a .
species of bat has been found, the
spread of whose membraneous wings
was twenty feet—far exceeding those
of the condor, the largest bird known
to naturalists of this period. Such
discoveries testify unmistakably to
extraordinary changes of our world
since they lived. A Whale’s skeleton
in the rocks on the Green Mountains
of Vermont —an elephant’s bones also,
and a tusk excavated r hi the Sierra
Nevada peak, by the side of which a
common elephant’s tooth is a mere
needle, speak in ineffable language of
the habitable antiquity of this globe.
Living trees in California declare by
concentric Circles that the world has
been quiescent since they sprang from
a seed about four thousand years ago.
Yet it is scientifically demonstrated
that fossil giants, whose bones are the
marvels of the age, were imprisoned
cycles upon cycles before the Marap
osa trees which prod need cones from
which present groves sprang, had be
gun to grow.
WHERE THE SUN DOES NOT
SET.
Tha fhUawiutr mumble sketch is
from the description of the scene wit
nessed by Mr. Campbell and his party,
in the north of Norway, from a cliff
above the sea : “ The ocean stretched
away in silent vastness at our feet, the
sound of the waves scarcely reaching
our airy lookout; away in the north
the huge old sun swung low along the
horizon like the slow beat of a pendu
lum in the tall clock ofour grandfath
er’s parlor corner. We all stood si 1 ent,
looking at our watches. When both
hands came together at twelve, mid
night, the full orb hung triumphant
ly above the waves, a bridge of gold
running north, spanning the seas be
tween us. There he shone in silent
majesty, which knew no setting. We
involuntarily took off our hats; no
word was spoken. Combine if you
can, the most brilliant sunrise and
sunset you ever saw, and the beauties
will pale before the gorgeous coloring
which lit up the ocean, heavens and
mountains. In half an hour the sun
swung up perceptibly ou his beat, the
colors changed to those of morning,
a fresh breeze rippled over the waters,
one song after another piped up in the
grove behind us—we had slipped into
another day.”
The grandest marriage which has
occurred in London for many years
was that of Miss Fox, the adopted
daughter of Lady Holland, who was
joined to the Prince Aloys Liechten
sten recently. It was almost as brill
iant as a royal wedding, and quite
threw the Marquis of Bute’s marriage
into the shade. It has not failed to be
observed that Archbishop Manning
officiated on both these occasions, and
it is hinted that the prospect of such
a noble wedding will be apt to pro
duce a rare crop of fair perverts, un
less the Archbishop of Canterbury be
stirs himself to make Protestant mar
riages more gay and gorgeous. Abso
lutely the whole fashionable world of
London was present on the day of
Miss Fox’s marriage, either in the ca
thedral or at the breakfast, or at the
garden party afterward.
In 1870 there were 1-11,629 schools in
the United States and Territories, and
the total number of pupils was 7,200,-
938. What a shooting of ideas, had (
they all been discharged at once ? The j
income of ilie schools for that yfear !
was $95,402,726. We are more inter
ested to ascertain who was the out-1
come.
Edwin Booth has cleared one hun- j
dredand twenty-five thousand dollars
during the season just closed at his
theatre, which will almost cancel the
debt incurred in its erection.
