A Practical Joke
Friday morning: last a gentleman em
ployed as a salesman for a New York .
house, whose family resides in an inte-.
.rior town of this Stale, stopped as many !
do, weary aiid truved lit u hotel !
in this city. He arrived on the 8:30 I
train from Detroit, having come from |
some point far to the westward that day
and tired, weary, dusty, sore, fatigued
and disgusted registered his name, had
a room assigned him and proceeded there
to sock qo'et repose in the arms of,
Morpl eus, dreaming if he dreamed at all
of the trade he should drive with the
thrifty merchants of the Corn city on the
morrow.
A merchant of this city, who was a
patron of the house to which this pai -
titular traveler belongs, happened to he
in the hotel that evening about SI o’clock
and his eye alighted upon this particular i
name. Unfortunate look ! Unhappy
circumstance! tor this merchant, was
of a jocus torn of mind, a wag, aj. kcr,
one of those men who do all sorts of ab
surd things hoping that amusement will j
follow, lie did an absurd thing to this
name though the occurrence that follow
ed was anything but amusing. What
did he do? Why he seized a pen, and
in the same handwriting as near as pos
sible he added to the name of the coin
inercial traveler up stairs, the words j
“and lady.” Two small ward.-; hut
email things are often | reductive of
great, results. It is said that a ling j
trough set in motion the succession of
events that made Martin Van Bttren
President, and it is a well known fact
that a well bucket caused one of the lar- ;
pest and bloodiest wars that ever a (Die- J
ted Europe. These two words, “and
lady, added to the nante of a sleeping-!
commercial traveler, was the occasion j
of an unpleasantness not ns terrible to
humanity in general as a war, hut quite
as disagreeable to this one member of j
the human family.
For as the fates would have it, a broth (
rr-in-law of this commercial traveler, the
only brother of the idolized wife- of his
bosom—also a traveler for a New York
House—had been that very morning at ]
his (the first commercial traveler’s) house
in the interior, where he had seen his
sister. Anxious to see her husband, lie
had ascertained that lie would probably
be at Toledo that night and as fast as
steam could carry him he sped hither ar
riving on the 10:30, p. m., train of the
C- &T. nc went to one hotel and thin
to another, and finally struck the right
cue. He looked at the register, he saw
the name and he saw, alas 1 the aided
words “and lady 1” “And lady!” What
lady ? Not the lady who had the right
to travel with him, for that lady, his sis
ter, he left at her home in the morning,
and e did not come with him it was
morally impossible that it could be she.
The brotherin-law saw all about it ai once j
and being a bigger man than the wretch
who was thus shamefully abusing the!
confidence ropnsed in him, determined
with his good right hand or rather both :
hands and feet, if need be, to chastise
him. Boiling with a rage, he mounted
the stairs, and without waiting to an
nounce his presence by the regular
knock, he applied bis foot to the door ,
which, unable t 6 stand the pressure, as
J N. has it yielded. In he went ; and
the sleeping traveler awoke to find him
self in the embrace of a strong aud an- j
gry man.
The commercial traveler was some
what astonished as may be supposed
bad no time to think ; lie was assailed
so ferociously as to leave no doubt that
the assailant meant to take liis life. He
resisted. Though small be is a remarka
bly active man, and not at all cowardly,
and be sailed in. The fight was rather
a pretty one. Now one was on top, and
now the other.
Now the commercial traveler was un
der aud anon the brother in law. Now
the brother-in-law had the commercial
traveler’s ear between his teeth and then
again the commercial traveler was in- '■
dustriouslj tearing away small but savo
ry bits of the brother in law's cheek.— 1
(Jbairs wefe smashed, stands and tables
were upset, and groans aud screams aud |
yell* cuouga to Jurnisfc an oidiuary lima 1
tic asylum-proceeded from the room.
There was never such a fight with the
exception pcihnps of the famous free
fight in Arkansas, of which it is recor
ded that an hour after its close a bushel
of noses wore picked up.
Finally the clerk heard the rumpus,
and proceeded to the room. It was
lucky that he did so, for they bad each
other by the throat with such a vicious
grasp that botli must have died in a
mi ment inoro.
He tore them apart.
“Where is she ?” gasped the brother
| in-law, spitting out three teeth, which,
| knocke'd out were of no use to him.
“She?” asked the commercial traveler,
as well as a man could whose upper lip
was split, “who is she?”
“Wliy the woman who registered with
yon,” muttered the brother-in law tear
ing away a bit ol his left car and chuck
ing it out of the window.
It is unnecessary to pursue the sub
ject further. The pair proceeded to the
register—the signature and the addition
: examined, and the client was apparent
and harmony was restored. The parties
j left on Saturday night lor the home of
; the commercial traveler where they will
| tairy awhile till nature repairs damages
I The practical joker was made aequain
j ted with the result of his effort. He will
! not repeat it again soon.
A Cliarce of Official Malversation
Against tlie President.
! The New York World, of Friday, pre
fers the following direct and eircum
| stantial charge of official malversation
and corruption in selling the public offi
ces for his own benefit, by Gen. Grant,
j It is one of those charges which must be
! met and refuted. We trust for the lion
!or of the country, it will be ; for never
I was so infamous a charge brought a
i gainst a President of the United States :
! The trouble which Grant is experienc
' ing in reference to the appointments for
i office in the District of Columbia accor
i ding to all reports arises from acts on
j the part of the President which makeliitn
amenable under the bribery law. It is
| well known to the public that Grant
I originally siild It s house in Washington
!to Mr- Say life ,T. Bowen, formerly Post
. master for forty thousand dollars enter
ed into a contract to deliver the title and
Mr. Bowen paid the usual ton per cent,
to bind the bargain. Subsequently a
fund of $65,000 was raised in New York
to purchase the house for General Sher
mail, Grant, thereupon resold it to those
parties, hut before he could transfer the
title lie found the contract with Bowen i
in the way and that gentlemen insisting]
that that the property was bis, anil he
the only person who could sell it. Mr.
Bowen was willing to sell the house to
the parties who had laised the money
for the price named for thereby lie could
make a profit of twenty five thousand
dollars. But Grant insisted upon leav
ing the twenty-five thousand extra him
self. How to get at it and get rid of bis
contract with Bowen u as a difficult ques
tion.
During this time, Grant was pressed
by the better class of Republicans to ap
point a Mr. Robbins Postmaster of Wash
ington and bad consented to do so, and
so notified Robbins’friends. After this;
promise had been made and the paper
signed for Robbins, the vision of the.
twenty live thousand dollars extra ori
the bouse again came up, and lie finally !
agreed if Bowen would give up bis con
tract ami abandon all claims to the twen l
ty-fivc thousand extra that Bowen should
have control of all the Federal appoint -
ments for the District of Columbia. To
this, Bowen, it is said finally assented.,
-Robbins lost the post office and the slate
has since been made out by Bowen and
Grant hag sold tiie offices for the Dis
trict for twenty-five thousand dollars.—
He lias thus given another example that
tjio true meaning of bis motto was, ’Let
us have piece.’
Influence of Female Society.
It is better for you to pass an evening
once or twice a week, in a lady's draw
ing room even though the conversation
is slow, and you know the girl’s song by
heart, than in a club, tavern or pit of a
theatre. All amusements of youth to
which viituous women arc not admitted
rely on it, are deleterious iri their nature
All men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions, and are stupid, or have
gross taste and revolt against what is
pure. Your club swaggers, who are
sucking the huts of billiard cues all night
call female society insipid: Poetry is
uninspiring to a yokel; beauty has no
charms for blind men ; music does not
please a poor beast who does not know
one tune from another; but as a true epi
cure is hardly ever tired of water sauce
and brown bread and butter, I piotest I
can sit fol a whole night talking to a
well regulated kindly woman about her
girl Fanny or her boy Frank aud like the
evenings entertainment. One of the
great benefits a man may derive from
woman’s society is that be is bound to
be respectful to her. The habit is of
great good to your moral men depend
upon it. Our education makes us the
most eminently selfish men in the world.
\Ye fight for ourselves we yawn for our
selves, wo light our pipes and say
we wont go out we prefer ourselves and
our ease; and the greatest benefit that
comes to a man from a womans society
is that he has to think of somebody to
whom he is bound to bo constantly at
tentive and respectful.

QUITMAN 7 , GEO., JUNE 4, 1869.
THE DIU'.VKAIID'S DAUGHTER
nr u. iv. Bt'Niur.
Out on the street, with nuked feel,
! saw the drunkard's little daughter;
Iter tattered shawl was thin and final];
She little knew, for no one taught her.
Iter skin was fair, her auburn hair
Was blown about her pretty fore’ e and;
tier sad white fnee wore sorrow’s trace,
And want aud woe that were not borrow'd.
Heart-broken child she seldom smiled;
Hope promised her no blight hope ta-marrow
Or, if its light flushed oil her sight,
Then up came the darker clouds of sorrow.
She softly said, -*\Vc have no bread
No wood to keep the fire a burning.”
Tlie child m as ill, the wind so chili,
Her th ! o, cold blood to ice was turning.
But men well-fed and warmly clad,
And ladies robed in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion.
That lone night fled, and then, the light
Os rosy day in beauty sliiniag,
Fet dome, ami spire, and roofon fire.
And shone on one beyond repining.
Asleep- alone—as cold as stoue.
Where no dear parent ever sought her,
I 111 winding sheet of snow and sleet,
Was found the drunkard’s lifeless daughter.
How an Ami v of Monkeys Bridged
a Stream
! “They arc coming and will most like—
] ly cross the river by the rocks yonder,’
observed Raol.
“How, swim it ?" I asked. “It is a
torrent there ”
“Oh, no;” answerd Raol ; “monkeys
would rather go into fire than water.—
If they cannot leap tlie stream they will
bridge it.”
“Bridge it 1 and how?”
“Stop a moment, captain, and yon
shall see.”
The half bumm voices now sounded
nearer, and we could perceive that the
j animals were approaching the spot I
where we lay. Presently they appear
ed upon the opposite bank beaded by an j
| old gray- bended chieftain and officered
I like so many soldiers. They were, as ;
i Raol stated, of the comedrejars, or ring-!
tailed tribe.
One, an aid de camp or chief pioneer,
perhaps, run out upon a projecting
rock, and after looking across the
stream as if calculating the distance,
scampered hack and appeared to commu
nicate with the leader. Tin's produced
a movement in the troops. Commands
were issued, fatigue parties were detail
ed and marched to the (rout. Mean
while, several of the comedrejars—en
gineers no doubt —ran along the hank
examining the trees on both sides.
At length they all collected around a
tall cot on wood that grew ever the nar
rowest part ol the stream, and twenty
or thirty of them scampered np its
trunk. On reaching a high point, the
foremost, a strong tul'ovv, came oat up -
on a limb, and taking several turns of
bis tail around it, slipped off and bung
bead downward. The next on the limb,
also a stout one, climbed down the body
of the first, and whipping his tail tightly
around the neck and fore arm of the hit
ter, dropped off on his turn and hung
head down. The third inanceuvrd upon
the second, and the fourth upon the
third, and so on until the last one upon
the string rested hir fore paws upon the
ground.
The living chain now commenced
swinging backward and forwardjlikn the
pendulum of a clock. The motion was
slight at first, but gradually increased,
the lowermost striking his hands violent
ly upon, the earth as lie passed the tan
gent of tlie scillaling curve. Several
others upon the limbs aided the move
ment. This continued until the monkey
at the end of the chain was thrown a
rnnng the branches of a lice on the op
posite bank. Here after two or tree vi
brations, lie clutched a limb and held
fast. Tins movement was executed
very adroitly just at the culminating
j point of the oscillation, m order to save
(he intermediate links from the violence
jvf a too sudden jerk. The chain was
| now fast at both ends, forming a com
plete snspenion bridge over which the
] whole troop to the number of four or
i five hundred passed with the rapidity of
j thought.
It was one of the most comical sights
I ever beheld, to witness the qtczzical
expression of the countenances along
that living chain!
The troop was now ori the other side,
but how were the animajs forming tue
;. bridge to get themselves over? This
was the question which suggested itself
Manifestly by number oue letting go bis
tail. But then tbo point d’apptii on the
end was much lower down, and number
one w th half a dozen of his neighbors,
would be dashed against the opposite
bank or soused into the water.
Here then was a prob'ein aud wo wait
ed with some curiosity for its solution.
It was soon solved. A monkey
was now seen attaching his tail to the
lowest on the bridge another girded him
in a similar manner aud so on until a
dozen more was added to the string.—
The last were all powerful fellows and
running up to a high limb they lifted
the bridge into a position almost horizon
! tal.
Then a scream from the last monkey
of the new formation warned the tail
end that ali was ready; and the nextmo
-1 ment the whole chain was swung over
1 and landed on the opposite hank. The
] lowermost links now dropped off like a
'melted candle while the higher ones-leap
ed to Ihe branches and came down the
| trunk. The whole troop ilien scampered
i off into die chapperal and disappeared.
‘‘l'll Take What Fattier Takes.”
! “What will you take to drink?” asked
the waiter of a young lad, who for the
first time accompanied his father to a
i public dinner. Uncertain wlmt to say.
j and feeling sure that he could not be
| wrong if lie followed bis father's exarn
] pie ho replied •'
] “I’ll lake what father takes.”
The answer reached the father’s car,
i and instantly the full responsibility of
j his position rushed upon him. If he I
! said “I’ll take ale,” as ho always had
J said before bis son would take it also
I and then! And tbo father shuddered as
the history of several young men, who,
| once promising like his own bright lad,
i had been ruined by drink, started up in
h ■ solemn warning before him.
Should his hope also be blasted and
ilnt noble faced noble lad become a bur
den and curse as they bad become ! Bui
for strong drink they would have been
active earnest, prosperous men; and if it;
could work s’ch min upon them waili s
own son safe? Quicker than lightning I
these thoughts passed through his miod|
and in a moment, (he decision was made!
“If the hoy falls he shall not have me to
blame;” and then in tones tremulous ]
with emotion, to the astonishment of
those who knew him, ho said, "waiter, ]
I’ll take water;” and from that day to
Ibis, strong drink has been banished
from that man’s home.
The young lad, in his brief utterance, j
was really the representative of the ]
generalio.i to which he belongs. God]
has so itecfei and it, that the father is the
highest authority in the World to his j
child. Who does not know that “My
fatln r said so," is the end us all centre
versy with the little ones around us?
Who does not see th ; parent's tone, gait
and manners continually reproduced in
the children whoso nature is now soft
as wax to receive an impression and-rig j
id as marble to retain it, and who watch
with a qii'ok imitating eye tli sc who to
them are God’s vicegerents?
Would that we could impress upon
j the fathers and mothers of this country
the solemn fact that the future character
i of their children is being formed by them
I that if they are trained up in tlie way
I they should go, when they are old they
| will not depart from it; hut that if they
become vain sensual, and degraded, the
seeds will have been deposited and the
bias given in the early morning of their
lives.— Voice <if Tenth.
Wliitlter Drifting 1
The New York Journal of Commerce
is thoughtful aud fearful of the changes
through which the country is passing.
Radical hate of the South Radical tyran
ny, and Radical dishonesty are the
causo. Ti e Journal of Commerce says:
‘ A wise and great, and good man now
gone to his reward, once declared hi our
hearing that tiie strength of our form
of government lay in the fact that it was
the nearly unanimous choice of the, peo
ple so much so that if by any'sudden con
vul.ion the machinery should he disar
ranged'the people in convent’o f assem
bled would rc-cstabUsh it. p,ecisely npon
the original model. Can this he said of
the government of to day ? Docs any
thoughtful man believe that a convention
of delegates elected for that purpose
would reproduce as their choice the pres
ent Constitution adorned anew with the
patches recently added inc'nding also
those now prepared for applications ?. —
Are we not drifting somewhat heedless
ly into organic changes, the real mean
ing and effect of wh ch the nation is yet
I to realize to its sorrow?
