VOL. 111. I
COUSII SALLY DILLARD!
A STORY THAT MUST NOT I>tK.
“Cousin Sally Dillard” was written
by Hamilton C. Jones, of North Caro
lina, nearly half a century’ ago, and the
public can enjoy a hearty laugh over its
exquisite ridiculousness at least once a
year. It purports to be a report of the
testimony of a witness in a case before
one of the courts of that State, and is
as follows:
A beardless disciple of Themis rises
and thus addresses the court; “May it
please your worship, and you, gentle
men of the jury, since it has been my
fortune (good or bad, I will not say), to
exercise in legal disquisition,it has never
befallen me to bo obliged to prosecute
so direfully marked an assault. A more
willful, violent, and dangerous battery,
and finally a more diabolical breach of
the peace, has seldom ever happened in
a civilised country, and I dare say it
seldom has been your duty to pass upoD
one so shocking to benevolent feelings
as this which took place over at Captain
Rice's, in this ecunty; but you will hear
from the witnesses.”
The witnesses being sworn, two or
three were examined and deposed:—
One said that he heard the noise, but
did not see the fight; another that he
saw the row, but did not know who
struck first; another that he was very
drunk and couldu't say anything about
the skriuimage.
Lawyer Chops—l am sorry, gentle
men, to have occupied your time with
the stupidity of the witnesses examined.
It arises, gentlemen, altogether from a
misapprehension on my part. Had I
known as I do, that I had a witness
who was acquainted with all the circum
stances of the case, and who was able to
make himself understood to the court
and jury, I should not have trespassed
so long on your patience. Come for
ward, Mr. Harris, and be sworn.
So forward comes the witness, a fat,
ehuffy old man, a “leetle” corned, and
took his oath with an air.
Chops—Harris, we wish you to tell
us about the riot that happened the
other day at Captain Rice’s, and a3 a
good deal of time has already been
wasted in circumlocution, wc wish you
to be compenduous, at the same time
as explicit as possible.
Harris—Adzackly (giving the lawyer
a knowing wink, at the same time clear
ing his throat). Captain Rice he gin a
treat, and cousiu Sally Dillard she
comes over to my house and axed me
if my wife she mountnt go? I told
cousin Sally Dillard my wife was poorly
being as now she had a touch of rheu
matiz in the hip, and the big swamp
was up in the road, there having been a
great deal of rain lately, but howsoever,
as it was she, cousin Sally Dillard, my
wife she uiout go. Well, cousin Sally
Dillard then axed me if Mcse he moutn’t
go? I told cousin Sally Dillard that
he was the foreman of the crap, and the
crap was smartly in the grass, but how
soever, as it was she, cousin Sally Dil
lard, Mose he mout go.
Chops—ln the name of common sense,
Mr. Harris, what do you mean by this
rigmarole ?
Witness—Captain Rice he gin a treat,
and cousin Sally Dillard she came over
to my house and axed me my wife she
moutu’t go ? And I told cousin Sally
Dillard—
Chops —Stop, if you please; we don't
want to hear about your cousin Sally
Dillard op your wife; tell us about the
fight at Rice’s.
Witpcss—Well, I will, sir, if you’ll
let me.
Chops—Well, sir, go on.
Witness—Wefl, sir, Captain Rice he
gin a treat, and oonsjn Sally Dillard she
oame over to my hapsc and axed me if
my wife she moutn’t go—
Chops—Here it is again. Witness,
please to stop.
Witness —Well, what do you waDt ?
“SALUB POPULI SXT3PK.E3VrA. LEX ESTO.”
WAYNESBORO’, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1872.
Chops-—Wo want to know about the
fight; and you must not proceed in tins
impertinent story. Do you know any
thing about the matter before the court ?
Witness—To be sure I do.
Chops—Well, go on, then, and tell it.
aud nothing else.
Witness—Well, Captain Rice, he gin
a treat —
Chops—This is intolerable. May it
please the court, l move that the wit
ness be committed for contempt. He
seems to bo trifling with the court.
Court—Witness, you are before a
court of justice, and unless you behave
yourself in a more becoming inauner
you will be sent to jail;. so begin and
tell me what you know about the fight
at Rice's.
Witness—Well, gentlemen, Captain
Rice, he gin a treat, and cousin Sally
Dillurd—
Court—(After deliberating). Mr. At
torney, the court is of the opinion that
we may save time by letting the witness
go on in his own way. Proceed, Mr.
Harris, with your story, but stick to
the point. . w
Witness —Yes, gentlemen. Well,Cap
tain Rice, he gin a treat, and cousin
Sally Dillard come over to our Louse
and axed me if my wife she moutn’t go ?
I told cousin Sally Dillard that my wife
she was poorly, being as how she had
the rheumatics in her hip ; and the big
swamp was up ; howsoever, as it was site,
cousin Sally Dillard, iny wife she mout
go. Well, cousin Sally then axed me
if Mose he moutn’t go. I told cousin
Sally Dillard as how Mose was the fore
man of the crap, and the crap was smart
ly in grass, but howsoever, as it was she,
cousin Sally Diilard, Mose he mout go.
So they goes on together, Mose. my wife
and cousin Sally Dillard, and they come
to the big swamp, and it was up as I
was telling you ; but being as how there
was a big log across the big swamp,
cousin Sally Dillard and Mose, like gen
teel folks, they walked the log, but my
wife, like a durned fool, hoisted her
coats and waded through.
Chops—Heavens and earth, this is
bad ; but go on.
Witness— Well, that's all I know about
the fiffht.
Tux Empty Cradle. —We met John
on the stairs. He was carrying au old
cradle to be stowed away in what be
termed “plunder” in the lumber room.
One rocker was gone,and the wicker work
of one side broken; it was an old willowy
affair, but we could not refrain from cast
ing a sad look into its empty depths.—
“Gone!” we said dreamily, “all gone!”
What golden heads were once pillowed
here, heads on which the curls grew
moist in slumber, and the cheeks and
lips flushed with the hue of rose leaves.
When sleep broke, the silken fringed
lids opened heavily from the slumberons
eyes; smiles flitted like sun ! earns over
the face, the white fist was thrust into
the mouth, and when mamma lifted the
muslin and peeped to sse if the baby
was sleeping, coo : ng and crowing were
heard! The little feet began to kick,
out of pure delight, and kicked on until
both of the tiny red shoes were landed
at the foot of the cradle. Where are
those hands nojf ? Some that were
embrowned by vigorous manhood are
sleeping on the battle-fields, some are
bleached with time and cares; and they
have grown sore and weary on the rough
paths of life. Perhaps some little one,
onoe tenderly rocked here, is sleepiug iu
the coffin. Over it grows hearts-ease,
attd vigorous bos pnd white candytuft,
and the starry jasmine. The bluebird
flutters its bright wings through the
willow bough, and the cool wind whis
pers to the green leaves and grass blades
on the grave. Sleep on, little dream
less one—“Of such is the kingdom of
Heaven.”

A LIVING CHRIST.
This whim that the Gospel means
nothing but the exposition of the plan
of salvation, is itself an ecclesiastical
innovat ion. While right thinking forms
the foundation of right acting, if not
built upon according to design, it is as
fragmentary and worthless as any other
foundation, without superstructure.—
Trinity, atonement, justification by faith
inmortal life, though the 6ublimest
truths ever revealed to Luman intellect,
aro of no practical benefit whatever,
except as they inspire with motives of
that pure morality to which they have
given the name of godliness, or Goi>-
likeness. The religion which promul
gates these truths has a worthier aim
for its work than by simply binding
them together as the plank of a raft to
rescue drowning souls from perdition
and carry them, still dripping, to a
celestial shore where they are suddenly
dried into saints. Its business is to
make men better here as well as here
after, bettor in their conduct to them
selves, to their neighbors, and to Gon.
Christ is not dead, that He should be
forever shut up in a sepulchre and
lamented by bereaved pulpits, that dis
cuss with reverence his extinct miracles,
aud speculate about the texture of his
cere-clothes. Christ is alive, and in
the world ; alive, and at home every
where; alive, to heal the sick; alive, to
open the eyes of the blind understand
ing, to strengthen the palsied arm ot
the will; yea, and to enter the temple
port of the heart, and to whip out the
sins that would make that bouse of
Gop a den of thieves. Surely, then,
He has as much right as the devil to a
recognition on Change, or in the parlor,
or in other places, where the soul is to
be found He catnc so far to seek. It is
in this combination I speak. But for
this combination I should remain silent
altogether. With any other combina
tion, it seems to me, the pulpit plays
poor ventriloquist in attempting to feign
a voice from the charnel-dust of eighteen
hundred years ago, that shall impress
the world more by its ghost-like quaver
ing;; than by its tone of moral commaud.
—Rev. R. A. Holland.
Masoxry.—The Grand Lodge of Ma
sons in Scotland never has recognized
more thau the first three degrees of Ma
sonry—the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-
Craft and Master-Mason—and holds all
other orders and lodges as unconnected
with them. This is theoriginal St. John’s
Masonry with that grand body and they
have no other. The Grand Lodge of
Scotland has frequently fulminated reso
lutions and manifestos against spurious
Masonry, and has presented a consistent
course on this point for a time as long as
their records reach back into the dimness
of past ages.
Tiik President Declines a Gift.—
In adding to his resistance of Simon
Cameron, we note that the President
has refused to accept a suit of inaugura
tion clothes. Here is the net. as we find
it stated in the papers :
“A Pittsburg clothier telegraphed to
President Grant on election day, offer
ing him p new suit of clothes. The
answer he got was from General Horace
Porter, and is given in the Pitt.-burg
Gazette as follows ; ‘The President will
have, and very reluctantly, too, to de
cline your generous offer of your best
suit, to be worn at his inaugural, next
March—npt but that he believes they
are the best clothes made, but were he
to accept, Seuators Sumner, Sehurz,
Trumbull and others would be very
jealous, and would, no doubt, demand
suits for themselves, aud if refused
woujd ask fhr an investigating commit
tee, thereby costing the Government
thousands of dollars, with the usual
results.” —Cincinnati Commercial.

English and American Girls.
An Englishman writes : “I can as
sure you that, having lived in differ
ent castles and manor-houses of Great
Britain, and being accustomed to tho in
dustrious habits of duchesses and count
esses, I was utterly astonished at the
idleness of the American ladies. 2io
Englishwoman of rank (with the excep
tion of a few parveuues), from the queen
tlowuwnrd would remain for ono-half
hour unemployed, or sic in a rocking
chair unless seriously ill. They almost
all (with hardly an exception), copy
the busincss-letter3 of their husbands,
fathers, or brothers; attend minutely
to the wants of tho poor around them
aud then take part in their amusements
and sympathize with their sorrows; visit
and superintend the schools; work in
their own gardens; see to their house
hold concerns; think about their visit
ors; look over the weekly accounts, not
only of domestic expenses, but often
those of farm and estate ; mauage penny
clubs in conjuncture with the working
classes, to help them to keep themselves;
and with all these occupations, by early
hourSjJthey keep up their acquaintance
with the literature and politics of the
day, and cultivate the accomplishments
of music and drawing, ad often acquire,
besides, some knowledge of scientific
pursuits. The late Marchioness of
Lansdowne was so well acquainted with
the cottagers in her neighborhood that
she used to visit and look at the corpses
of the dead, because she found that her
doing so soothed and comforted the
bereaved. I have known lu rto shut
herself up with a mad woman in her poor
dwelling , who used to lock the door,
and could not be induced to admit any
one else. Lady Lansdowne’souly daugh
ter used one hundred guineas (given her
by her father-in-law,Lord Suffolk, to buy
a bracelet) to build pig-styes, with his
permission, at her husband’s little coun
try residence. She educates her own
children without assistance, teaching the
boys Latin, aud tho girls all the usual
branches of education. The late Duch
ess of Bedford,l accidentally discovered,
when on a visit to Woburn, had, for thir
ty years of her married life, risen at six
o’clock, summer and winter, lit her own
fire, made some tea for the duke aud her
self, and then, as he wrote Ilia own let
ters of business, she copied them, and
they came down to a large party of
guests at ten o’clock, to dispense break
fast, without saying a word of their ma
tutinary avocations; so that you might
have been a visitor in the house without
finding out that the duke or duchess had
transacted the necessary business of the
day, before perhaps you had risen ! I
rather mention those that are gone to
their toward than write of women still
among us; but you may believe me when
I say that I am constantly among those
who live such lives of energy and useful
ness, but they so employ themselves
without ostentation or an idea that they
arc doing more than their simple duty.”
A seat ou the Bench is, in England,
the coveted honor of a legal career. It
is position, a comfortable income for
life, and the respect of all classes, high
and low. The short cut to this dignity
is not, however, by way of the bar, but
throjgh the House of Common*. Few
lawyers, who have not been at one time
legislators, are among the highest judi
cial officers of England. Sir Alexander
Cockburn, Sir Roundell Palmer, Lord
Cairns, Sir John Coleridge, all obtain
ed offices as rewards for Parliamentary
services, as did also Lord Westbury,
Lord Halherly, and others. In fact,
there is scarcely a name that can be
mentioned as that of a lawyer who pass
ed at once to the judgeship. Iu Ameri
ca, the office would be fiercely fought
for; as, pecuniarily, in England it is
quite a prize—the salaries ranging from
twenty-five thousand dollars for the low
er Judges, up to fifty thousand to the
Lord Chancellor.

Another Sensation about Mrs. Fair.
A sensation lias been caused in San
Francisco by the publication of an al
leged plot between Laura D. Fair aud
a restaurant waiter named Frank, to
poison Judge Dwinuell aud Alexeuder
Campbell, counsel for Uws people., The
waiter, Frank, who reveals the plot, says
it was formed before Mrs. Fair’s second
trial. He states that the lady tried to 1
induce him to put poison in a decanter
in Dwinnoll’s house, or in tlic milk can
at the door, and that this was intended
to be done. A woman went to the lat
ter’s house and told Mrs. D pot to leave
the milk can out. The matter was con
cealed iroiu the police, but was inves’i
gated by Chief of Police Crowley, Judge
Dwinnell, aud all the counsel in the cage.
Some thought the waiter insane, hot he
had a plan of Dwinnell's bouse in his
possession.
