MISCELLANY
THE COL S TROUBLE
Whan the Keutuckey colonel
•ocee to Little Lock, about the
first obtainable feature he discov
er* is the negro policeman. In
Kentucky the town constable, a
man who carries an enormous
club with which ae strikes the
sidewalk and goods botes ringing
blows as he walks along, is admit
ted into good society, for hit ex
perience it setting around the lit
ery stable enables him to speak of
the horse wiih enviable insight.
It is an honor to be arrested by
such a man. but to be seized by a
negro policeman is a humiliation
which sinks deep into the Ken
tuckian’s sensitive bosom of re
sentment.
Several days ago, Colonel Sur
nener, of Kentucky, arrived in
Xiittle Bock. He brought a few
dollars with him, andexperieiced
no trouble in finding Arkansaw
men who were willing to join him
in the social soaking of ‘straights’
and flavored spirits. When even
ing came, the colonel, having de
voted himself so assiduously du
ring the day, was weak koeed and
weary. A negro policeman stop,
ped him and said :
Mister, ye d better go to yep
hotel. Dar ain’t no usen yer try
in’ ter buck agin dem men fur
da's at home.'
‘Who do you belong to. Any
how f asked the colonel, steady
ihg himself, and regarding the po
liceman with a contemptuous ex
pression. ‘l'd give a thousand
dollars for you.’
Tha dark guar, ian of the pub
lic peace did not seem to be in
the least offended at this unkind
reference to -previous condition
of servitude,” but explained bis
position, telling tbe colonel to g*
away somewhere and lie down.
Sack a suggestion from a “Digger,
enraged the colonel and he at
tempted te strike the policeman,
but before he ceald realize how it
was dona the “big nigger” ‘‘tang
led a hand in his hair; mv pet,”
wheeled him around and marched
him off to the station house
The next morning the colonel
was arraigned before the judge
he made an alaborate speech in
defense of hia shortcomings, but a
mild fine of ten dollars was assess
ed. The prisoner was shocked
upon learning that he had spen 1
all his money; but the deepest hu
miliation awaited him.
The negro policeman who took
charge of the “chain gang” was
once the property of the colonel.
*Den’t you know me ,Abe ?” ask
ed (he dejeeted man as be threw
as hovelfull of mud into a cart.
"Blebs I does sah.”
“Yau used to belong to me.”
I'se mighty well awar o’ dat
sack, sah."
“I want you to do me a favor
You know I’m proud and that I
don't want to be seeD in this con
dition.”
‘•Yas, sah.”
"Now just give me a chance and
I’ll leave here.
“I reckons yer would, sah, but
we’s needin' good ban’s at de pres
•at. (Shovel mde du-t, sah, and
doan stop to talk. It’s er bad
’zainWe tur yer ter be seed talkin'
ter de boas."
K NhVev mind. D—d if x don’t

"None o’ yer sweatin' ’roun’

By de time yer gits through wid

“You want to wa'ch out for alli
gators very carefully at first, was
the advice given to a Northern in
valid on his arrival in Florida,
‘but after yon have been here a
few weeks, it won tso much mat
ter.”
“Why not ?” was the question.
"Why should Ibe more cautiovs
at one time thus another ?”
“Because, was the reply, “after
you have been here a little while,
you will have grown too thin to
be an object of interest to allina
tore.”
Lord Coleridge is delighting his
English friends with stories of his
American visit, and among them
was this: He was at Mt. Vernon
with Mr. Evarts, and talking about
Washington, said: “I have heard
that he was a strong man physical
ly, and that standing on the lawn
here he could throw a dollar right
acrosa the river on te the oiher
bank. ’ Mr. Evarts paused a mo
ment to measure the breadth of
the river with his eye. It seemed
ratner a “tall” story, but it was
not for him to belittle the Father
of the Country in the eyes of a
foreigner. “Don't you believ it!”
asked Lord Coleridge: “Yes,’'
Mr. Evarts replied, “I thin k it’s
very likely to be true. You know
a dollar would go further in those
days than it does now.”
A young lady on a Lake Shore
train was airing, for the benefit of
a female companion, her ideas of
life in general and her boarding
school knowledge of foreign lan
guages in particular. “Now my
dear madam,” she said, “/ believe
the singie state is the state par ex
cellence for a young lady. The
idea of a young woman marrying
a mau, tgring haraalt down to one
person and doing her dirudgery!
it is simply preposterous i’ou’ll
never catch me throwing my self
away iu that style. Just look at
the troubles a married woman has
with servants, grocers, butchers,
the dinners, the carpets, the beds
—why, it is trouble and Delhing
but trouble—trouble ad libitum
ad infantum. You don't catch me
marrying a man.
WhTt’te Have
/7ave a good wheelbarrow ; it
will save you lots of lugging.
Have a good grindstone, and
keep things sharp, so thsy will
cut.
Have strong harness, with ex
tra tugs, straps etc., in case of ac
cident.
Have a goed, sharp jack-kuife
always in your pocket; you will of
ten nt ed it.
Have a big rasp or tile, and use
it often en hoes and shovels, keep
ing them sharp.
Have a good temper, and keep
it, for of all men the farmer needs
an even lemper.
Have a good corn planter, also
a small seed sower; they save lots
of work, tims and money.
Have a aew plow point ready
when the old one becomes worn,
and you will rnrke weeds sk ; p, ihe
hoeing easy, and your back will
not ache so much.
Have the lightest shovels, forks
rakes, hoes, and such tsols that
you can buy sufficiently strong
for the work, for an extra pound
weight ia a shovel means a great
waste of muscle, and muscle is
worth more than a new tool.
Have patience. We all nee<l
more of that. Of coarse every
trae farmer will have a love for all
nature, and should have, as well,
a strong and Jiving faith in na
ture's God, so that working in fel
lowship with Him, he may he sue
easeful in his life work, and be at
peace when life is done.

DF.VOTi ;n To NEWS, LITERATURE AND LOCAL AFFAIRS
Georgia's Governor
Atlanta, June 18—I* is report
ed here, 1 dojuot knowhow relia
bly, that the Macon Telegraph A
Messenger and Savannah News
have formed a syndicate for the
defeat of Gov McDaniel in the
coming race for the Governor
ship It is further stated that Mr
Estill, of the Savannah News, will
be put forward ss a candidate for
Governor. Ihis opposition is
said, to Lave taken its first defi
nite shape in ihe withdrawal of
P W Alexander from the editorial
control of the Telegjeph and Mea
seuger. It is known that both Mr
Hanson and Col Lamar lave
strong feelings of eomity against
Governor McDaniel, and they will
doubtless pick bis political bones
with no small amount of pleasure.
It is understood that the Conetitu
tiou will support McDaniel, and
it is presumed that the Augusta
Chronicle will follow suit. It was
thought several weeks ago that
•he contest for McDaniel’s success
or would be a tame affair, but if
these rumors are true, and they
are certainly true in a measure,
there will be music in the air. The
Governor has not had an adin nis
iration calculated to give him a'
orillinnt campaign. He would
not arouse the emhusiam that a
lively opponent would create, but
he has made a careful, pninstakiig
executive and his friends are con
fident that they can carry him
through all right. He will doubt
less suffer a great deal of vanity
and vexation of spirit, however,
before the campaign is over. .

I think ihe only jew a this Con
a Washington letter, in
.Leopold Morse, of Massachusetts
He cuues from Bavaria, and he is
just about the age of Breiiung
and Houseman Hs was born
three mon hs before Breitung, and
he emigrated early in life to the
United Sta'es and entered a cloth
ing store. He settled, however,
in Boston, and there are many citi
zens there who will remember him
as having a little ready mfule cloth
ing Btore, with his goods hung out
on the walls facing the street, and
h’mself a fa', bright eyed, pleas
ant fellow, standing beside them
soliciting trade. Now he is a will
ionaire, and has one of the biggest
clotbiDg stores in Boston. He
has already sirved three terms in
Congress as a Democrat, and iu
one election I understand he de
feated a Harvard graduate, Leo
pold Morse is a demi blonde, un
der medium height, with blue
eyes, light brown chin whiskers
and a round fat abdomen He
dresses in a business suit always,
and spends much of his lime in
walking about the House with hia
hands in his pockets, standing
very straight anl throwing his ro
tund stomach well to the front.
He is a good fellow, and is very
fond of '.children. He boards at
Wormley’s while in Washington,
and lives well. About the only
bill be has had anything to do
with this session is the one favor

this was set down upon by the

Old Mis. Mulkitte visited her

It was arranged that she should

Still hoping that she had adopt

“Now tell me about old Blue

Then she realized hei error, and
turning a severe eye on the boy,
site said:
“I won’t do uoth’ug of :'ue k'n 1

“I can’t go te sleep in a minute

“What for!”
“For talking that way.”
“How must I talk! ’
“Don’t talk st all.”
“Then I could'* say anything
could I!”
“No, and it wou Id be a blessed
good thing.”
“I could’i.t pray than could I! '
‘Hush!”
“But if I could’ut talk I couldn't
pray. Then I'd go to the bad place
an’ the bad man would say, ‘Oh
yes, here’s that boy that could’nt
talk. Fat him over there and
roast him.’ Wouldn’t he say
that ?”
“No.”
“What would be say?”
The old lady flounced out of
bed, opened the door and called
Mr. Mulkittle,
“What ie ii rnotter?”
“Come, take this boy out of here
and bring a paper of taeke tc sleep
with. I'd rutlier have the nettle

“See nere, Mr. Blank, what are

“Big political meeting to night,”
apologetically exclaimed Mr. B
“Political meeting?” echoed Mrs
B. “You have been going to po

weeks, and if it had net been for

"But just think how nice it

He tnen looked dowu in the well
and saw tliat Gilbert was lying
on its bottom, and calling Henry
Lewis told him there was some
thing wrong. Henry Ltwis im
mediately went down in the well
and found Gilbeit apparently
dead. He placed the rope around

A Boston belle iu the hurry of
packing a dozen trunks for a trip
to ihe springs, lost a package of
old letters tied witb a cherry rib

“Who'll swap! who'll swap !” she
cries. “Ye men of Gotham, lieurk

letters from dead men, letters
from live ones -very much alive
in fact and for these (to yon)
pieces of paper, I will give oh /
such a glowing return. If you are
a man, you who hold my treasures
1 will write you s;:eh an epistle as
will make your head swim—full of
love, of passion, of joy, of possi

thousand fair roses held out to
your eager grasp, which will prick
you with thorns if you touch them
thorns long, sharp and cruel, that
will pierce your heart . I will till
them full of love, love boiled down
compressed, double stilled, red hot

If you are a woman wall the

more difficult, but in sooth 1 will
please even you. I will unveil to
you my secrets; that of “eternal

me by Empress Eugenia: my long

not to indulge in emotion ; the
slightest, moisture of the eye, and
they will fall; and what a fall were
that, my countrywomen! Can wo
man do more for women than all
this! If so, nominate it, and it
