' Everybody hat heard, and a great many make use pf the expres sion, “the Devil and Tom Walker,” and yet we presume very few know who Tom W. was, or what relation between him and the Devil justifies this frequent association of their names. As the most authentic ac count of who Tom Walker was, we give the following interesting story by the best writer America has ever produced—Washington Irving: A STORY OF THE LAST CENTURY. As Tom waxed old, however, he grew thoughtful- Having secured the good thingsof this world, he be gan to feel anxious about the next. He thought with regret on the bar gain he had made with bis black triend, and put his wits to work to cheat him out of bis conditions.— He became, therefore, all of a sud? den, a violent church-goer. He prayed loudly Mad Strenuously, as if Heaven were to be carried by force of b»ng*.». indeed, one might always fell, when he had sinned ijmipst difritig the weeKj by tne ciamot of bis Sunday devotion. The quiet jfeeen . and qufQyfwj% fUfcwartl were strnck with reproach at seeing themselves so suddenly ontstripped in their career by this new-made convert. Tom was as rigid in reli gion as in money mailers $ be was a strong supervisor and censurer of his neighbors and seerqed to think ev ery sin entered up to their account became a credit on his page.— He even talked of the expediency of reviving the persecution of Qua kers and Anabap|ists. Still, in spite of his strenuous at tention to forms, Tom "had a lurking dread that the devH, after all, would iyavei his due. That he might not be taken unawares, therefore, it is said he always 4*crirf «Bitafe««tiis pocket. He also had a great folio Bible in bis counting-house desk, and would frequently be, Ipurfd read ing when people' called on business; on such occasions he would lay his green spectacles on the book to mark the place, while he turned around to drive some usurious bargain. Some say Torti grew a Tittle crack bnpned in nis latter days, and that, fancying his end approaching, he had hit horse newly shod, saddled and buried with his feet uppermost, because that, at the last day, the world would be turned upside down, in which case he would find nis horse ready for mounting, and he was determined at worat to give iiia friend a run for it, This, however, is probably a mere old wile’s fable. If he really did take that precaution, it was totally superfluous—at least so says the autheutic old legend, which doses his story in the follow ing manner : One hot afternoon in the dog days, just as a terrible black thunder gust came up, Tom sat in his counting honse in his white linen cap and, India silk morning gown. He was on the point of foreclosing a mort gage, by which he would complete the ruin of an unhappy speculator for whom he had expressed the greatest friendship. The poor land jobber begged him to grant a tew months’ indulgence. Tom had grown testy and iriitated, and re fused. ‘‘My family will be ruined and brought upon the parish,” said the land jobber. “Charity begins at home,” replied Tom. “1 must take care of mysell these hard timesd’ “You have made so much money out of me,” said he; “I have not made a farthing.” Just then there were three loud, knocks at the street door. He step ped out to see who was there. A black man with a black horse, which stamped and neighed with impa tience. “Tom, you are come for,” said the black fellow, gruffly. Tom shrunk back, but too late. He had left his little Bible at the bottom of his coat pocket, and his big Bible on the desk, buried nnder the mortgage he was about to foreclose—never was a poor sinner taken more una ware. The black man whisked him like a child astride the horse, and away he galloped in the midst of a thunder storm. Such was the end of Tom Walker and his ill-gotten wealth. The story has resolved itself into a proverb, and is the origin of the popular saying prevalent throughout New England, “The Devil and Tom Walker.” Important Facts for Everybody. Not a week passes when we do not read accounts of fearful acci dents from kerbsene lamps. These accidents occur from f vVo causes. First. Drawing the oil or filling the lamp in the evening, when a light is burning in the room. This should never be done nor allowed. It is not necessary that the light come in contact with the fluid to warrant the accident. The esca ping gas fills the room and is liable tflf igniie at any point. A block of buildings were burned in Rutland, Vt., a few years ago, the fire hav ing caught in this way. Numerous examples might be cited to establish this fact. Second. Burning the lamp when only partially filled with oil, is also very dangerous. As the oil burns down in the lamp the vacuum is filled with inflamable gas, which may ignite from a slight jar, and all the terrible consequences of explo sion follow. A large majority ol the accidents which occur result from these causes. We can think of but one more source of danger, viz: the breaking of the lamp when lighted, and thus setting fire to the oil as it is sprinkled upon garments or furniture. * And now for the remedy. It must occur to every reader as sim ple and effectual. Touch not the kerosene oil can or barrel after dark; ip other words, let all lamps be filled in the day time, and see that every lamp is filled every morning. If the globe of the lamp is kept nearly full explosion is impossible. The liability of accidents can be avoided only by using metallic instead of glass lamps. * One more suggestion. Never turn down the wick to extinguish the lamp, but blow it out. Turning down the wick id liable to opqp a passage for the escape of the gas in the globe of the lamp, which will igniie and explosion will follow. Blow off the light and the cause of dauger is removed. Let these suggestions be under stood and regarded in every family w|ere kerosene is used, and we sbotold hear no more ot death and destruction from this cause. O. To Sure the Bite of « Rattlesnake.— While on a visit to the country we heard following remedy and history of its results related as tacts by one who was acquainted with the parties: A gear tleman, while rakiog and binding grain, was badly bitten by a rattlesnake. Be ing some distance from any house, he started to walk home. Before goiug far, he found himself unable to walk, and tried to crawl on bis hands aud knees, suffering very much and being very thirsty. He was unable to get water, but having a powder flask in bis pocket, he put a little dfiton his topgue. Gain ing some relief from it, he repeated the dose, until he wqs able to walk and fin ally recovered. An instance of a dog being bitten and cured in the same way was also related. It is an easy remedy snd worth knowing.— Visalia Delta, ' Remedy fbr Sunstroke. Recently a gentleman was reading a letter of an Oriental traveler, and was particularly impressed with an account of a remedy for sunstroke. One of the party of travelers fell from his beast, insonsible, from the effects of intense heat. The Arabs immediately squeezed out the juice of several lemons, and with it rubbed the hands and Wrists, face, head and neck of the sufferer. In a short time he was able to remount and ride on “two hours fartherl” On last Friday a negro woman, named Hannah Jackson, fell insensible npon the levee from sunstroke, and remained in that condition for a considerable time. The gentleman before referred to beard of it, and recommended the lomon juice remedy. Itwag applied as above des cribed, and also rubbed on the spine. In a very short time the patient irom being utterly insensible, had so far re vived as to sit up, and was still improv ng at last accounts. She says all the dioctors oughtto know it.— N. O. Paper. Georgia as She Is- The correspoudent of the Journal of Commerce, iu leaving Georgia, pays his respects thus: I leave Georgia with regret, for she is, from her eastern to her western boun dary, a good, solid, prosperous, kind and hospitable State. Her people are as fine specimens of humanity as are found on the greon earth, and besides being intelligent and of far-reaebiug ken, are doing more for the general good of the country by their honest thrift aud in dustry than they will ever receive credit for. They are greatly belied by the par tisan press of the North. I heard more of Georgia politics in in Washington Inst winter than I have heard in fifteen days intimate associa tion with her people. I believe you told me to find, describe, and bring back a Georgia Ku‘ Klux. I have tried to get one, bat they cannot be bad for love or money. Alligators and mocking birds are sold S3 pets for trifling sums, but the Georgia Ku Klux are like the George Washingtons. There was only one— and he died. In different parts of the State some impetuous yonths attempted, about two years ago, to form a Ku Klux Klau. But before an organization was effected the whole thing fell through. There has never been an organized band in op position to law or order. It has in sev eral instances since that time, but not lately, ocourred that parties of fellows have disguised themselves and proceed ed to whip negroes, and white men who had negro wives on the European plau. Others have disguised themselves aed committed robberies on the highway or in houses, and still others have bnrned houses to the ground. But the Ku Klux part of these things is a matter invol ving grave nntruths on the part of the Radical leaders here, because in one aggravated instance, • Democrat killed another Demoorat, and the survivor was taken from jail and bung by a disguis ed mob. In another case a negro was robbed by disguised negroes, and in nearly all cases the injuries received were inflated from private grudge or for the purpose of stealing. Still, all such things have been called Ku Klux outrages, because men disguise them selves for these dark doings, and style themselves Ku Klux. Years of inves tigation would prove to the Congress ional Committee tint one fact, so far as Georgia is concerned, viz: that there is not, and that there never has been any Ku Klux organization in Georgia. ’A lot of fellows in Atlanta went to a masquerade ball and wore all kinds of fantastic equipme&f. They took their suits to the State Capitol, And whether it was done for a joke or not, is not clearly proven; but a correspondent of a New York paper- was shown these fancy dresses and informed that they were Ijona fid* Ku Klux uniforms cap tured m Georgia. He desoribes them in print. People North read and be lieve tbat statement, but the Executive clerks at Atlanta, who knew all about it, simply laughed, and said they did not expeot the jest would.be carried so far. 1 su-pect that the real object was a sort of swindle, whereby Gov, Bullock’s rewards wire.to be divided among a lot of waggish y oung men. Even the K u Klux in South Carolina; have disappeared new. . The reason of that is not beoause the Ku Klux law frightened them, for they could dodge that, but because the negroes and car pet baggers they visited last had shown fight, aud the otberswereprepared.— Fighting is ppt a part of their business. They are brave enough to shoot men down, hut being shot at is not their taste. The people, too, have set their faces against Ku Kluxism so boldly that it cannot exist much longer. Noth withstanding all,the reports about the Ku Kluxes in South Carolina, yet there was 'more dauger from the one act of "arming the negroes in that State than there ever has been from the Ku Klux. GpoH oitizeas have always been safe thereexcept from fear of negroes, armed aud iuqited to riot by bad men. Any man, from any part of the world, would be safe' in South Carolina now, as he would be anywhere. As for Geor gia, I think it is to-day toe most peace able State, without exception, in the Union, Her eities are well governed, and crime is a matter of rare occurrence. A Negro Thief Pretax tyaeh Lew. We find the following letter in the Charleston News : " Graham’s, S C., July 16.—1 write you an account pf a semi-j.udical trans action which took place about three miles and a, half from this place on Saturday last,. 15th Instant, at Sojourner’s mill; One Smart Loyd, colored, obtained posewiou of a binhel of corn from §o- journer’g mill in not exactly an ortho dox manner ; and being accused of the theft, first denied it, but altcrwards, “ac knowledged the corn.” lie was thieat ened with the terrors of a trial justice, and in order to prevent his punishment by the law, he offered to he tried by a jury of his peers, and to submit to what ever award they agreed upon. His proposition was accepted, anil he selec ted the following meu aud brethren as jnrymen to try the ca e : March So journer, Abraham Walker, Lewis Fel der, Jeff Wright, Toby Sojourner aud Alfred Boylston. The facts ot the case being duly made known to tlio-jury, they retired under an umbrageous oak to deliberate what they should do in the matter. Alter consul tation they decided that, iu their opinion said Smart Loyd be allowed to receive forty lashes, save ono. to be there and then laid on , to which the aforesaid Smart Loyd agreed. The names of the jury were then put into a hat, and Smart drew to see who should wallop him. He selected Abiabum Walker (a left-handed blacksmith,) who, pro curing a hickory of regulation size, pro ceeded then and there to lay the afore said forty stripes, save one, upon the person of Smart Loyd ; which he ditj to the satisfaction of all concerned, cxcppl the b id Smart, whom ho made smart in more than one placo before ho finished the castigation. The culprit and all concerned in the affair are colored men ; and all, with the exception of- Smart are respectable, hard working men, who don’t waut too much law, and took this method of set tling the matter without putting the county to any expense. A Girl's Fight with a Rattlesnake. — The Lanesboro’(Minn.) Ihrald relates the following : Last week, Sunday, as a Norwegian girl, living some four miles from this place, was walking along the road, she passed directly in front of, and very close to a huge rattlesnake that was just coming out of the grass into the road. This uncourtcous action seemed to make his snakeship very wroth, and be immediately sounded the battle alarm by rattling his gong. The girl well kuew the souud and turned to ascertain the location of her ugly foe, which she soon did, and, instead of runuing, scream ing or fainting, looked about for some thing with which to defend hertelf. She could find nothing, nor had she long time to look, fur the snake, with eyes glistening, rattles in motion, mouth wide open aud his tongue darting back and forth, was close upon her. But she was pluck to the back bone, and did not propose to surrender the field without a fight—iu fact retreat was out of ths question, for the snake was now within arm’s reach of her—so keep ing her eye steadily on the snake's head, she commenced the fight with her foot, moving it back and forth, up and down, in every direction, tire snake following the motions with his head to get a chance to bite. This performance las ted but perhaps a minute—hours to her, when, by a quick movement, she got the advantage, and down came the foot and heavy shoe upon the snake’s head, where she held him until he was dead. She then found a stone and pounded off the rattles to keep as a trophy. There were nineteen rattles, and she says it was the largest rattlesnake she ever saw.
