A COUNTRY NBWjSl’.ll’EK FOlt TIIE MASSES DEVOTED TO CIVILIZATION AND MONEY-MAKING.
TALYOTTCN TALBOT COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY APRIL 17, 1870.
The Way They Do Ir.
One of those little incidents in
seperablo from travel in Texas, is
narrated in a late telegram front Sun
Ultonia, Texas, to the St. Lout.
Globe-Democrat ft occurred near
the place bearing the eupltoneus and
j suggestive name <f Peg l.og, on the
j banks of the river San Sabi, on the
j Eastern border ol Stake 1 l’l mis:
The coach, laden with mail sacks
and several passengers, coming < ast.,
bad approached within one mile ol
; Peg Leg. It was nine o'clock i t
night, and the vobickle rock' and along
m the dense and sombre shadows
of the timber, bottom, or swamp of
the San Saba. The diiver vas urg
ing his horses up a smart ascent. :
Tin )i issenger o , dreamy, tired, and
half asleep, were suddenly startled i
by the sharp ‘whoa!’ of the Jehu on
the outside. 'I he stage stopped.
‘ls this alio her stopping pl.ua ?’
lazily inquired one of the pass n a r>
‘No.’ replied the driver cooliy’, but
its Six Shooter Post office, I reckon.
Tie- travelers began to lake the j
hint, and were soon confirmed in j
their suspicions wln-u they next
heard a gruff voice order the driver
to drive off to oie- side of the road.
The vehicle moved, buts mil came
to tl standstill again. In tiio mean
time there was it tremendous and
exciting flurry inside the singe,!
though not a word was spoken. Each j
passenger strove to see lmw much J
be could conceal on Ids per-ou . All j
went, to work hiding Jewelry an I
mote y. Some stowed it uay in j
Iht ir stockings, down 'lit ir backs, up
their sloevos-any where. Ones uok I
$lO in Ins shoe; olio secreted tin
contents of his pocket, which, how- |
ever lie kept r-< tdy, c mt lining only i
one check and a make believe.
The occupants of the coach now j
pen-- ive 1 they were ii| the Ii ,nd- ol I
ilte Philistines; nor u.t. they stir '
prised win n the same gruff voice is ,
In. fore plane I out:
‘V ufti'v. in 'h ie step out mo j
by one, and if any man sh evs a six i
slimuer'--it’d bow the top of hist
head off
Tito older was obeyed. The lirs
p issenger to make his exit was a
milidiry telegr-ipli op -r.itor, g u g to j
Sa:i Antonia. Tin; boss robber ask
ed lnm who and what be was.
‘l’m iu operator,’ said the tele !
grnphi t.
,'i’hen I’m d—cl certain you rntist
have money. -Come, folk over. Pull
off them shoes.’
Tlie updator, whoso overcoat one
of the robbers thoroughly, was about
r<■ 1 iiet 1 ill.tjy obeying, the highway
man, when the latter seemingly be
coming impatient, said:
‘Vail, I recon ymi needn’t take off ,
yorslme ; never mind ’em.’
The operator gave them SO, and
Hived $lO lie had in his shoos. Af
ter going through the man of elec
tiicity and voltaic but cries, the rob
tiers ordered him buck into the
st.nge.
A HOSE OF THEPBARIE.
The n< xt man ordered out was a
stage agent named Rose, who had
formerly been stationed at Rio Pe |
Co-. The young man got out. like
one who is about to put his neck in
the halter, ih.foie getting out Rose
had stuck iiis lag six shooter in the
waist-brad of his breeches, and
00 in currency which be bad in his
porlemnntiaie lie stuffed around in
his cloth s to the best of bis ability.
He threw a blanket over his shoul
ders, to.conceal the pistol which he
afterwards mid. lie intended to use
on the highwayman in case of din
necessity. Asa blind he bad twenty
lollars in silver in a tobacco box.
Rose stepped out in the shadow of a
urge trie, ami with the air of a man
whose let dime is leaving him, ban
and rl the bag to the boss robber, and
said:
'Let me have a dollar and a half
to get a. good squat a meal in Peg
Leg u il’n, wont you?’
The robber made no reply, but
failed to search Rose’s person. Hi !
S9OO escaped.
One of the travelers, Max Lind j
beira, was the next unfortunate to
sti|i forth and confront the Highway j
men.
‘Who the devil are you ?’ said th<-
robber in-chief.
‘My n me is Max Lindheim. Who
nrey >u?’
‘.fLut up; git back thar an I fork
I over every thing,’ was the stern re
j ply from behind tho ominous and
I mysterious mask.
‘Here’s all I've got: take it,’ said
' Lindheini in u broken down kind of
way, at the same timo thrusting bis
hand into bis bosom and pulling nut
SB. ' j
• I’urn them pockets inside out, and :
that and and quick !’ exclaimed the chief
j brigand.
j Twelve dollars more resulted.
'Nmv bold ur* your ban Is, and
| lcmnie see them rings of yourn.’
j ‘One of them is not. mine; the j
i other is ti family relic,’ pleaded (he
j nas.-enger as ho exhibited two bean,
ifui rings, one evidently a momenta
of a li.lv friend.
‘Well I don’t keer, you may keen j
’em. Haul off that over-coat thar!’
again came from behind the mask. I
Tho garment was searched, and
Lindheim ordered to re-enter the j
coach.
Tho list, passenger put, through
the ordeal was a man numm Mu 1 r
who had sdl) liideii at various place,
on his p u'sim, but which ho ovaniu"
ally lmd to surrender.
‘Golmiv arms?’ said the robbers
'Yes; inside tho the stage.’
‘I io and bring ’em ’
Muller did so, and biinde.l the
brigand a largo six-shooter with
which Ini might nu.ilv have blown
daylight through t vo others ut the
vildans.
Tito robber took tho ‘shooting
iron,’ viewed it, through the mask
an Isa ‘Yon may keep it; its old
and worn out, and not worth a
d—d.’
Hiving got through with the
passengers, the brigands text <n,der
ed the driver to throw down the luai
p inches from under the seat. II
del so. One of the. villains i lop -d
op.-ti one of the saeks and tint rune- I
therefrom several regia'ered packa
ges. Asking tlm driver if ho hi Ii

Stuffed ill lus boots, then gave the
following exnmauil:
‘Yon follows inside there got out
and walk ahead of the horses, ’lie
fest one that 1 ailts hack will have
the top of Ilia head blown off!’
They marched off in good time.
The exercise was kept up till the
bandits had got through searching
the stage. kite brigands then dis
appeared as su l lenly ns they lmd
emerged from the deep gloom Of
;he trees in tho ‘bott mi’ of the S iii
Saba.
fn regard to these robberies, now
so frequent on the Texts frontier,
the question his often been asked,
why don’t the passengers, who ere
generally well armed shoot? 'i In
reason is, as on this occasion, not
from cowardic' perhaps, but from
the uncertainty of the nurnbet of
the robbers, not knowing but several
of the gang might be concealed near
by to back their companions iu ca-e
of trouble.
Ci.oke or iiiK Siasux -A female
was hanging out some clothes iu a j
aril on Gaston street, when a bov i
looked over the f. nee and culled out:
‘Htivciou h, eu any mud dogs go
by here just now?’
‘Mad dogs— rnotcy !’ gasped tile
woman, and she threw four wet
sheets on the ground in a heap nnd
g .t into the bouse with tour bounds
The boy maintained bis position.
After a few moments tlie woman
put her head out tho door and ask
ed:
‘Have you ?’
‘No !’ wits the calm reply; T
guess the season for them has come ;
to a close.’
‘You arc a miserable boy ! \Vbv
did yon alarm me so?’ she said as
she op tt .il the door nnd stood on
the step.
‘Who’s been alarmed ? . I guess if
I want to find i mad dog I’ve got a
right to inquire if any have gone by,
haven't I ? You don’t expect me to
go an 1 get out full sheet poster;; and
leave 'em at houses, do you ? Hump!
the idea that a boy can't even inquire
about mad dogs !’

Do not think when you have won
ti wife that you have got, also, a
slave.
Do not think that your wife has
Vhs feeling than your sweetheart.
Her re atiou to you is simply chat g •
■ ed—not her nature.
Do no* think that you can dis
. pettse with all the little civilities of
life towards her on marriage. She
appreciates those things quite ns
much ns other women.
Do not lie gruff and rude at home.
Hid you been that sort of a fellow
before marriage, the probabilities
are that you would bo sowing on
your but tons yet Don’t make your
wife feel incumbent on you by giving
her gmdgitdy, What she needs give
ms clieertnlly us it were a pleasure for
you to do so. She will feel much
bolter, Mini so will you.
Do not, meddle with the affairs of
‘he house under her charge. Yon
have, no more right, to be larking
your nose into the kitchen than site
h is to walk into your place of liusi
ii"ss and give directions to employ-
Do not find fault with her exlrnv

waste money on cigars, tobacco,
whiskey, etc..
Do no leave you wife at homo to
nurse the children on the score . f
economy, whiff yon go ti the tlren-
Ire-t and spend money at billiards.
Do not bolt your supper, and thou
hurry off to spend your evenings 1
away from your wife. Before mill'" ]
riage you couldn’t spend your even
ings enough with her.
Do not pr.n.l about, till midnight,
wasting your time in culpable idle,
ness, lea ting ymir wife lonely at

Do not think that tho woman

Do not think that bond nnd

that you are a hypocrite.
Do not wonder that your wife is

comfort and caprices of a selfish pig
who has not soul enough to appreci
