TALBOTTON TALBOT COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AP IL 10 1879.
! Mr. Henderson’s Mania.
BV HAWKKYF. HDIIDJCTTK.
Mr. Ellis Henilerson, one of our
best young men, went out walking
I with two of the sweetest girls in
j Burlington. They were nice girls
besuiiful, accomplished and modest.
And Mr. Henderson was a nice voting
man, too. He wore that evening a
little straw hat with a navy blue
band, a cutaway coat, a pmf of light
1 wide pautloons, a white vest, n hut
! ton hole boqnet, anil J 5 cents. 'lke
1 evening was very warm, and as they
walked, these young people talked
- about the base-ball match, the wenth
er, and sunstrokes. Bvsaiidby one
, of the young ladies gave a delicate
little shriek.
•00-oo ! What a funny sign !’
‘Wliere? Where? Which one, Kl
frida ?’ asked the other young lady
eageilv.
lla—yes,’ said Mr. Henderson,
1 m troubled tones, looking gently but
I resolil'ely at the wrong side ot (he
! street.
! ‘ l'liert !’ exclaimed Elfrid i, art
J lessly pointing as she spoke. ‘How
funny it is soelled; see, Ethel.'’
'Why, said Ethel, ‘it is spelled
! correctly, isn't it, Mr. Henderson?’
‘Ha—why—aw—win, yes, yes, ti
lie sure,’ sml Mr. Henderson, very
j huskily, staring‘ns hard as he could
j at the window full of house plant.
‘Why, Mr. Henderson,’said El
! frida, in tones of amazeineut, ‘luev
'call viol say so? Just see. ‘i c-e, ice
! c-r-dmible. e-m. cream;. tlnuV not
the way to spi 11 cream ; lliut’s not
i the way to spell el earn.’
! ‘Oh, Efi ids,’ ci ied her comp anion
you must lie near-sighted. That
isn’t an e. is i<. Mr. Henderson ?’
And Mr Henderson, who was
| praying harder than lie ever prayed
In fi.re that an eai thipiake might
j erne along an I swallow no edher
j tiimse'f i l' all the ioe rri am saloons
ill the United States, be didn't much
can- id j ’• looked up at ti e cliini
nei i, 1 *V h mse and said:
‘That? Oil, yes, ves; -f course,
j why certaimy. II iw ve v much
cooler it has grown within the past
few minutes,’ the j’oimg man su 1
j denly added, with a kind of \ nra
| tjon: ‘surely that cool wave the sig
| mil-service dispatcher antiouiiced ns
! having entered this country from
| Manitoba must he nearing us once
| more.’
And he took out his handkerchief
and swabbed u face that looked as
though it had never heard of a cold
wave, nor even looked into fbo face
of a man who hud heard of one. He
knew when .he talked of its being
cooler, that his face would scorch an
ice-berg brown in ten minutes.
Bv this time they bud turned a
corner, and the appalling sign was
out of sight.. Mr. Henderson brcith
ed like a free mac.
‘I a'wuyu like to stroll along Jed
; ferson street in the evening,’ said
Ethel. ’lt’s so lively. My, just.
[ look at the crowd of people going in
at that door. M'hat is going on in
[ there, Mr. Henderson?’
Mr. Henderson looked across to
the other side of the street, us usual,
and said, ‘Oh, yes; that is a clothing
house.’
‘Why, no, Mr. Henderson,’ ex
claimed Elfrida. ‘Thai’s an ice
cream saloon.*
Ethel laughed merrily. ‘t>o yon
know,' she said, ‘I wondered what so
many young ladies could want in a J
gentleman's clothing store 1*
Mr. Henderson said, ‘II, ha, to j
be Hare!’ And, oh! the feeid ■ I
ghastly tincture ot rnir'll there was I
in iiis nervous, ‘Hu, ha !' It sounded
as though a hoy witn the ear-ache
should yssay to laugh.
| ‘Jm it true, Mr. Head rson,‘ asked i
I E'hel, ‘that soda fountains some- !
times explode?*
Mr. Henderson, gasping fu breath
eagerly assured her that, they did ;
vor> f-eom-ntly, and that in every!
instance they scattered death ami j
destruction around. Ic many of J
Eastern cities, he said, they have !
been abolished by law, and the same I
thing should be done here In New ■
York", the young man went on, all
the soda fountains hud been removed ,
far outside the cit.y limits, and were
in located far lonely meadows, side
by side with powder houses.
‘I am not afraid of them,’ said
the hiring Ethel. ‘I dont believe
they are a bit dangerous.' I
I' ‘Nor I,* echoed Elfrida. ‘I would
not bo afraid to walk up to and
stand by it all -day. Why arc you
so afraid of them, Mr, Henderson ?’
Mr Henderson gnashed his teeth
and secretly pufloit out a great sheaf
of hair from his head ill nervous ago
nv. Then he said that lie once had
a fair young sister blown to pieces
by one of those terrible engines of
destruction while she was drinking
j at it, and he had never been able to
I look at n soda fountain without
I growing faint.
j ‘How sad,’said both tho young la
!di<B, and then Ethel asked:
‘How do they make soda water,
Mr. Henderson ?’
And while the young man was
| getting reaily to recite a receipt l coni
posed mainly of dirt and poison, El
j frida read aloud four ice-cream signs,
| and Ethel read oil a transparency,
I ‘Lemon ices, cooling, refreshing and
I healthful,'lied Elfiida read, ‘Ladies’
| and gentlemen’s ice-cream parlors,*
twice, and E In 1 looked at tho door
and sain:
‘Oh, don’t they look nice and cool
in there! how comfortable and hap
py they do look !’
And Elfrida then said:
‘Yes, indeed; it makes this dusty
street an 1 scorching sidewalk seem
like an men. just look it at them,
evan,’ and then y,*mig Mr. Hender
son, who for Iho last ten ntinnb s
had been clawing his hair, and tear
ofl Ilia necktie and collar, anil pav
ing the air, shouted ill tones of wild
frenzy:
‘Oil, yes, yes, yes. Come in; come
in mi gorg" your-elves ! Every!) dv
come in olid feed up n whole week’s
salary in li!'b en minutes Set ’em
up! Soda, ice cream, Cakes, straw

J Oh, yes, it (I in’t cost anything to

pudding ! Fa, Ini, ha aa !’
1 hev carried the young man to
his humble boarding house and put
i him to tied, and sent for liis plivsi

danger, bill it is thought, will proba

AN IKl>tl LETTER.

My DiiAit Nephew; I haen't sent
you a letter since the last time I
wrote to you, beknse we moved from
our former place of living and con
sequently I couldn’t tell where a let
ter would find you. But I now,
with pleasure, take mv pen to inform
you of the death of your only living
Mel*i lvilpathrick, who died very
suddenly last week afther a linger
ing illness of sick months. The poor
man was in violent convulsions du
ring the whole time of Ids sickness,
lying perfectly quiet and spachlcss,
all the time talking incoha*ontlv,
and calling fi r watlier. I had no
time to inform von of his death soon
er, except 1 had wrote to yon by the
last (lost, which went off ten days
before he died, and then you’d had
postage to pay.
I am at a loss to toll wh it his
death was occasioned by, hut I fear
it was by his last sickness, for he wait
never well fen days the gfither dur
ing the whole time of his confine
ment, and I believe Ids death was
occasioned by his at ing toe much

vy or pays and gravy schnffed with
rabbits - 1 can’t tell which. But be
that as it in tv, as soon as he hreutli
ed his last the ilocklherA gave up ah
hopes of his recovery. I can’t tell
you any thing about Ids age, for
you well know that in March next
he’d have been twenty-five years
oul i, lacking ten mouths, and hot
he ivrd til that time, he’d been jist
six mouths dead.
His properly no v revolves to his
next of kill, who all died some time
ago, so that I expect that it will be
divided betae il us, and you know
Ids property was something very
con ideiubli', for ho had a lino es

and the remainder he lost in a horse

outwit the time that In* would have

would only put him in the same hu -

he will niver ate or drink more, and
you havn’t a living relation left in
the wide world, except myself arid
yonir two cousins who were killed in
the last war. I can’t dwell tin this
mournful subject.and I shall sale my

beg you not to break the sale when
you open this letter, and don’t open

tidings. Your sweetheart, Judy
