THE SOLITARY HORSEMEN.
t w.is evening, and tbe sultry sun poured
its hottest beams upon the Atlanta Car
Shcl, when a solitary horseman might
hate liet n seen wending his way through the
ciof. d that surrounded the sleeping car on
tbeW. A A. It. It. Casting a look of lofty
distil in on the gaping mass that hung about
the .Vet of Lis weary stted, he rode oa into
the uenrt of the car, had his horse put into
an v.ppei berth, unbuckled his helmet, and,
with an dr of easy grace, advanced to meet
three abcr solitary horsemen that came
wendinj their way into the other end of the
car.
The first solitary h. was your corres ponden
in puBinee of his travels. The other solitary
h's deerve a more extended mention at my
hands
The foremost one was A. J. McBride, well*
k now i as Atlanta’s very best man, a thorough
geiiHonan, a capital merchant, and as cir-
cumshnce.s will show, a nonpariel traveling
compmion. The second was Mr. J. A. Smith,
a valu*d partner iu the firm of Moore, Marsh
a Co. and a mau who, with this immense
backiig, is as modest as a girl, and yet as firm
as an adamantine rock; a model merchant
w Lo has grown rich off the only capital that
Cod fives to men, viz: hard common sense
uud mswerving integrity. The third was J.
Kmhall, a mau of fine talents, and
one win, when misfortuue drove his brothers
out d the State, remained here like a man,
pulle.l off his coat and went to work as a me-
i hanc. He is now Superintendent of the
Western and Atlantic liailroad shops, and
fully worthy of his responsible position.
THE HONEYSUCKLE CLUB.
Tie ordinary greetings over, the following
conversation took place:
Snith—I am broken down with, hard work,
and I long fora frolic—a genteel, easy, rest
ing rolic.
SfcBride— So do I.
K znball- So do I.
Cor’sp’nd’nt—So do I.
Snith. (affected at this unanimity of senti-
u.eut) — Well, if you fellows will join me, I
will propose that we devote this whole week
to pleasure. That we lay no plans and pro
ject uo trips, hut justfloat. Just go where we
please, and do what we please.
Header, this bright proposition came dart
ing into our gloom as happily as a Jane sun
beam rests on A hay-rick, and we acquiesced
in it with all tbe heartiness in the world.
McB.—But, in order to make the thing a
. nccesu, we shail organize a regular club of
four, and give a name and shape to it
Smith—I’m in on the club idea. Let us
call ourselves “The Rest Seekers.”
Kimball, (alittle more hilarious)—“Why
not call us “ The Lunch Puniihers ? ”
(T’sp’ndnt, (slightly sarcastic)—“Why
not “The Social Sapsockers.”
Just here a little person with a small chin
and an open ear, and eyes that wept when he
laughed with his mouth, come into the con
versation, preceding his entrance with a little
apologetic wheeze, saying:
0 “Why not name yourselves the Honey-
s ;eble Club?”
What on earth ever possessed this person
without chin to strike such a happy
thought, we never considered, but instantly
pounced upon the name, and invited the
«-ijinless party to j oin us in a bumper of black
berry coi dial to the new' clul>, wishing it a
happy trip and pleuyof adventure. Having

A NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE
Ju*d after the Honeysuckles had retired for
ih* night, the sleeping car door was opened,
and a gentleman from a Northern clime en
tered. He was accompanied by his wife and
a negro girl. He had engaged three berths
by telegraph w hich were already made up for
h:m. In one of these berths he proposed to
put his negro nurse. Hughes, the conductor
of the car, objected and he and tbe Northerner
had some very bitter words, which rising to
an unusual pitch stirred the club from their
couches. Surly and enraged at being awa
kened, they stood in a clump, half dressed
awaiting the issue of things. The Northern
gentleman was getting very much lifted up,
when Hughes, as a happy thought struck him,
leaned over and said confidentially:
“ My friend, not only am I going to refuse
to let your negro sleep in here, but if you
persist in indulging in such Radical senti
ment I cannot promise to protect you against
the passengers. Ycu see that clump oi them
gathered over yonder (pointing to us), they
are every om desperate men, as you may
guess from tbe dangerous glare of their eyes.
That tall, fair-haired fellow has killed his
dozen, and is ready for another at any time.
Those men may pitch you oat of the window
at any moment, and your negro after you.
Now, won’t you be quiet ?”
The poor man from Maine quieted and
hustled his servant into a second class car,
and the Honeysuckles having involuntazily
done a brave thing, crept into their couches,
little dreaming that they were expected
hourly throughout the night to issue thence
in regular KuKlux dress and tear their aboli
tion fellow passenger from limb to limb in
tin most approved style of the latter-day
demons.
SCENERY DONE UP IN PINK RIBBONS.
The lordliest regions in all the woild arc
the rich, clover growing valleys of Virginia.
Nowhere else does such an air of plenty and
prosperity breathe through every feature of
tbe landscape.
There are great sweeps of meadow swarth,
green and glossy, drowsy with the hum of the
brown coated honey-bee, and fed by little
silvery brooklets, that gush out from, the Lord
knows where, and babble and prattle like, the
Lord knows what; wheat fields stretching
way out into the far off, to where the gold-
tipt tassels, softened by distance and trem
bling under the dalliance ofthe June breezes,
give one an excellent hint of a minature
Mediterranean; broad and ample acres,
dotted thickly with perfnmy hay-ricks,
and filled with crowds of happy men
and women tying the sweet stuff into
■ hapely stacks, and brown armed young
A polios, with shirts flung back from chests
on which w omen would love to lay their dainty
heads and die, handling rakish pitchforks
* o-.^ing the fragrant bundles—like a good
fume, richer and sweeter in death than
UnA rise as mountains
aLove dozing in the forward
sunshine ; patches of clover, miles across, that
send intoxicating whiffs of perfume down into
the car windows as we rush past, as if some
mountain God had dashed every drop of dew
born the night before, with Lubin's best;
mountains, with white clouds for summer
caps, covered with tall pines, shaking
delicate babamy odors from their aris
tocratic heads; oaks, sturdy and strong-
hearted hickories as graceful as slender wo
men- millions of bushes, prolific of berries—
dandelions that throw kisses to the jaunty
redcaps of the clover below, and “honey
suckles” that nod gaily to their name
sakes gazing out of the windows sweeping by.
“ MY CATTLE ON A THOUSAND HILLS.”
Everywhere life,in its fattest and finest form,
enlivening every patch of land. The finest
cattle in America; the melancholy bull and
the pensive cow in the very exuberance of
health and fatness, standing knee-deep in
have tempted Eoropa. the milk white
mate of Jupiter, or given coasolation
to that doughty bull which tiadition tells us
bad an unfortunate little difficulty “on the
bridge.” The cattle of these valleys oi Vir
ginia are nonpareil the world over, and
would open the eyes of any cotton-crazed far
mer of Georgia who don’t think clover rais
ing would pay.
McBride was very much excited over the
scenery and the cattle. (Now', McBride, you
know, is a person who always rises with his
subject You put McBride to a subject, and
then send the subject to the top of the Hima
laya, and see how far behind McB. will be.
THAT SHREWD YOUNG KOltVAL.
Says McB.—“I tell you, gentlemen, this
thing of the dappled kmc gets me. There is
a smack of something huge about “ feed
ing my cattle on a thousand hills.” It
beats newspapers, merchants, and crockery
men all to pieces. Young Norval had the
right idea about these things. When he intro
duced himself he didn’t say, “My name is
Norval; on Georgia’s hills mv father iuns tbe
Atlanta Herald. ” That wouldn’t have helped
him a bit; and probably they would have
shook him at once, on hearing this statement.
He didn't say, “My name is Norval; on
Georgia’s hills roy father runs his crockery
store.” Not a bit of it. He was in, on the 1
high tariff schedule, and sticking his hands in
his vest pockets he said, “My name is Norval; t
on the Grampian bids my father feeds his \
flock s. ' That settled the tiiiDg. That cashed

thing at last for solid merit. Cotton don’t [

“I suppose you think any kine is bcttci

Party without a Chin. This joke not receiv- ; O—

of chin, wasted themselves iu his shirt collar.
In the meantime, McBride, perceiving that
he had caught the attention of the inmates of
the sleeping car, raised himself with his sub
ject, and went to work on an enlarged
schedule.
A HONEYSUCKLE MAKES A SPEECH.
“Ladies and gentlemen,observe the scenery;
oblige me, if you are not too busy,
by observing this scenerj\ See those
noble mountains rear their beautiful crests
way up yonder, and those valleys crouching
way down yonder. See those torrents rushing
down their angry flanks with as good a head
as the Great Western Canal will have. Also,
see these mountains raising their majestic heads
into the clouds, and those beautiful valleys lying
so peacefully below them; and those torrents !
gushing like a maiden’s tears down their
sides. See those mountains, beautiful em
blems of God’s pow'er, raising their heads up,
etc; and those timid valleys hiding from the
sun’s angry glare, and those streams ot water
rushing from the wilderness as a fox from out
his cover. See those mountains, as 1 said
before, rearing up, as I said before, and those
valleys shuddering beneath their frowns,
while the waters rush iu torrents, as I said
before, making a beautiful book of scenery’’—
“ Illustrated with w'ood-cnts,” remarked the
exasperating Party w itLout a Chiu, pointing
to the piles of wood packed along the track.
“Yes, observe those mountains raising
themselves, those valleys hiding themselves.
Observe, if you please ; observe these—yes,
those mountains rearing themselves ; see
those—ah, er—er—ah— those — er— er—val
leys and er—er—torrents, if yon please, what
scenery! what mountains, and—and—and—
what —er—valleys — and — er—er—what tor
rents, by Jove!”
And this orator sat down, while we set
about waking up the passengers, and
rubbing those who had fainted. McBride
caught us by the sleeve—“Couldn’t make a
speech, hey? They didn’t know I was from
Atlanta. You tike an Atlanta man, and
hanged if he cau’t do anything he takes a
mind to! I woke ’em didn't 1? Maybe
can’t make a speech when I try. Maybe I
ain’t an Atlanta man? Maybe not, but it
seems so, somehow' or other. Come and let’s
tike some cordial. I’m an owner of dappled
kine, and a regular Atlanta shepherd.”
Randolph’s reform.
We whirled past a mountain just now that is
celebrated among the natives as the one to
which Randolph made a pilgrimage to see the
sun rise. It is said that he was an atheist and
a scoffer at religion until he went on this
mountain, just in the gray of the dawn one
morning, with a body servant, to see the sun
rise from its topmost peak. When the mag
nificent sight flashed upon him, his soul
caught the inspiration and he bowed down in
adoration to the great God of the universe; and
from that moment a thrill of religions enthu
siasm went streaming through his body; from
that instant a powerful undercurrent was
started, which ebbed and flowed through his
system till be went out with the great tide
that washes the off-shores of eternity.
THE COMTLETE SQUASHING OF AN OBNOXIOUS
CHARACTER.
Smith went for the Chinless Party to-day.
He slew him. For several hours he had been
worrying Smith with questions, and that usu
ally benign man was getting a little lifted.
“ What might your name be ?” says the P.
ith out a C.
“Smith,” replied the disturbed Honey
suckle.
“Ah,” (reflectively) “scerns to me I’ve heard
that name somewhere before. What might
your first name be ?”
‘John—John Smith.”
‘John Smith, hay ! Pretty name, pretty
name ! Where might you live?”
Here Smith gave it up. Wheeling right
square around, he planted his eyes full on the
party’s face. I
‘Sir, my name is John Smith—I’m thirty-
six years old—live in Atlanta—am a merchant
—shave three times a week—have eleven shirts
— don’t chew tobacco—do smoko—prefer boots
to shoes—don’t wear paper collars—belong to
the church—am a Democrat—wear socks—
keep the commandments—go to bed early—
get to breakfast -don’t eat okra, but love
squashes—take a drink when I want to—
don’t carry a pistol (wish I did)—love
my friends, and don’t like to be bored to
death by a man that I’ve only met once, and
never want to meet again. Will von have
any more information ?
The crushed party didn’t say a word, but
from his looks we could tell he had enough.
I don’t believe he cared about knowing an
other thing about Smith. He quietly rolled
back in bis seat, and imitating the example
of a brook in the summer lime, ho “driedup.”

BESTING AT WHITE SULPHUR.
After a day’s ride through this fresh, de
licious, perfnmy country, we reached Lynch
burg, that great market of the tricked nico-
tinous weed which “cheers but not inebriates.”
Thence to Charlottsville, where six hundred
young men meet to spend money in streams,
and get learniDg in broken doses. On to Staun
ton, the greatest city for female colleges in
America—and yet to Covington, where we get
a superb breakfast, at a little uest called the
Cocbill House—past a hundred stations,
adorned with well-filled hotels, each the
portal through which you reach one of the
hundred summer resorts of Virginia—on to
the White Sulpher Springs, the gathering
point of Southern notabilities, where the
Honeysuckles made their first halt. Filing
in their white dignity and soiled dusters
through the line of cottages, they came to
Peyton’s desk, and registering themselves,
were sent off to a neat little perclpng place on
Alabama row, where for the present we will
leave them. King IIans.
sprinkles.
Dr. George Graham and his beautiful
bride, Miss Sallie Shaver, of Atlanta, ]
were on the train, intending to do up the i
springs in a bridal tour. They stopped at
Staunton lor a day or two—thence to White i
Sulphur.
I asked a Georgia Railroad negro the other
day if they ever run night trains on the Wash
ington Branch Railroad. “Not ’ceptin’
when Mars Bob Toombs wants to go any-
whar. They’ll hitch up and pull out for him
any time.” What a tribute to greatness !
Some one was mentioning that the Herald
men had, hanging on the railing in their ol-
fice, the picture of “ a man who was talked
to death.” “Yes,” says Kimball, “and judg
ing from the way Bob Alston can throw it
into a fellow, I should say that the man died
right there.” I don’t see any sense in this
joke, though it created some fun.
Tbe Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad cost
$100,000 a mile. Kimball acknowledges that
there’s nothing “down in the State of Maine”
to equal it, I consider this quite a point
I gained.
