Tom Netliii.
A BTOBT OF SAUI.V I.IPB IN AIIKANSAW.
[From tha Arkaimaw Traveler.]
Everybody in the Hickory Flat diatrict
regarded Torn Netlin aa one of (ho
bravest men in Aikansaw. Tom's refu
tation, though, waa not confined to tho
<1 in trie t alone, but nearly every roan in
the State had hearfl of bis peculiar brav
ery. Ho was a duelist of a mont singu
lar pattern, fie always managed to bo
challenged and then ho never failed to
kill hia adversary, lie was a man of
some education, hut anyone could hco
that ho was vicious And brutal. Ilia
wholo aim in lifo scctuod to be blood
shed. He talked of nothing but fight
ing, and whenever he heard of a man
who had distinguiahed himself by any
courageous act, ho would nook a quarrel
with him, provoke a challenge and end
the matter by killing him. Ou one oc
casion ho became involved in n quarrel
with Sam I’olwol), noool man of daunt
less determination and unerring aim with
tho rifle. Polwoll challenged Netlin.
Tho combatants were to throw up,
“wet or dry,” for the first shot, distance
thirty steps, Polwoll won tho first shot.
Netlin, not in tho least disconcerted,
said:
“I know that you arc a crack shot ami
it is certain death to face you. I havo
0:10 request to make, and I feci that a
man so brave as wc all know you to bo,
cannot refuse one who stands with both
feet on tho edge of tho grave. ”
“Name it," I’olwell replied,
“I have a perfect horror of being
wounded. The request is, and I have
made it of several men, that you will
aim at my heart. ’’
“Your request is granted. I think
1 lint I understand anatomy sufficiently
to know tlio location of tlio heart, and I
tlihvk that 1 can shoot well enough to
send a bullet through that highly neces
sary organ,” ami he smiled as ho took
position and cocked his gun.
Netlin smiled in return, bowed to bis
friends, and took bis place.
“Heady, aim, fire!”
“Great Clod I” I’olwell exclaimed. “Is
il possible that I missed him.”
Netlin stood like a statue, “I think
you lin o missed me," lie said mlvaneitig.
“You must bo li little nervous. I fear
that you have allowed my reputation to
interfere with your aim, Aro you
ready ?’’
"Svs, sir,”
"Tako the witness stand.”
“Yes, in the court of eternity,” I’ol
vell replied, as he turned nnd approached
the fatal spot.
“Where do you want the ball? In
tlie right eye for deceiving you ?"
"No, not in my eye, for it would be
unpleasant. The oyo is a delicate organ.
Better put it in my hoart.”
“All right,”
“Ready, aim, Urol”
Polwell fell, shot through the heart,
lie didn'tgroan.
A brother of the (lead man, Abo Pol
well, approached Notlin, and said:
“1 think that you are a big coward
and a dog, sir,” and ho slapped Notliu s
face.
The people stood aghast at such ra h
ness.
“I sec that yon wish to Bliaro your
brother’s fate, young follow.”
“And I say that yon are a coward.
Here, wet or dry,”and ho took up achip
and spat on it.
“You arc shoving this thing, young
follow.”
“Wet or dry f"
"1 warn you to desist.”
“Wet or dry?”
“Wet, you fool."
The chip came down dry. Notliu took
it,
“Wet or dry ?”
“Dry,” Polwell replied.
“Dry it is. You have the first shot.
By the way; it iH said that you are a
marksman of wonderful accuracy, e\on
1 >ettor than your unfortunate brother
could ever have hoped of being. 1 am
unfortunate in Vicing beaten for the first
shot, and I must request yon, as I did
your brother, to shoot at my heart. AY ill
you promise?"
“Go on. I’ll kill you dead enough.”
“But that’s not the question, Intake
a request.”
“Take the witness stand,’ Point II
s aid, in sareastie imitation of his adver
sary.
“Will you promise to Bhoot at mv
heart ?”
“Yes, if nothing else will Buit you.
Goon.”
Netlin took his stand. Polwell lev
eled his gun.
“Heady, aim—fire.”
At the report of the gun, Netiin
reeled, staggered and fell. The entire
party rushed to him. There was a hole
in his shirt, jußt over his heart, lint no
blood flowed. They tore away his
clothes, and then followed exclamations
of disgust. Closely titling his body,
Netiin wore a sheet of iron, so perfectly
arranged that it had never in the least
jigidered to movements less mj
if he had not worn the life-protecting
devise. This wns why ho had always
requested his antagonists to aim at bis
heart. The bullets of the two brothers
had struck in the samo placo, '"indent
ing” tho iron into the flesh, this was
tho eauso of his fall. He soon revived,
and when it dawned upon him that tho
secret of his courage had been dis
covered, he attempted to sneak away,
but Polwoll stopped him, and turning to
the astonished spectators said:
“Oeutlemen, what shall wo do with
this red-handed murderer ? tor years
he lias boon regarded 11s the bravest mini
in Aikansaw; his very cowardice—aim
at my heart—being taken for tho resig
nation of cool and calculating bravery.
1 do not think that any punishment is
severe enough. I see a justice of the
peace among you. Itather a strange
place for him, but lie is hero, neverthe
less. I uow rave that the justice at
once organize n court, and Hint by tin
consent of tho citizens hero assembled, lie
have |iower to enforce tlio extreme pen
alty of tho law, and flint if tho deatli
sentence be pronounced, a committee of
five shall decide ns to the mode of ad
ministering the demands of the sentence.”
The motion was unanimously carried,
find tho old magistrate took his place
behind n stump, called for order, and
said:
“(ientlemen, you’ve all seed lit to in
vest me with strong an’ [leeulinr powers.
Individuals make communities, commu

I shall therefore consider that I am le

Hein’ ’vested with so much power, I feel
that—hold tho prisoner, tliar—l have
the right to say how this trial shall be
conducted. Thar ain’t no use of a jury,

No snreasmon our institutions intended,
but it is a mighty hard matter to form a

this hero pretense of a man, has lived
amongst us with no other thought than

He wanted blood for breakfast, hninai
life for dinner, an’ a combination of the
two, a sort of cold man roust, us it won
fur supper.

but this makes me more iltton to set in

anxious to make him suffer in the flesh.
At church an’ at any other religious
gatherin’, I may boa little below par,
but on an occasion of this kind, even tin
rushest man can’t accuse me of bein’ a
slouch. The pints agin tho prisoner at
tho bar are many, while tho pintH in his
favor are mighty source. Now we’ll
weigh ’em,” anil lie balanced a stick
across his fore linger. “Now this end
is fur nn’ this one nginst. Hero’s tin

“an’ here’s the pints fur,” and 110 took
iqi a small piece of bark.
“Tho nginst is tho heaviest an’ it is

that the trial lias gone agin’ the prisoner

The committee held a brief consulta
tion and decided that Netlin should die
by the rope. The wretch begged pite
ously, but there was no pity in the men
who held in sacred charge tho execution
of the sentence. As no rope was handy,
they wound a grape vine around his
neck, ami let him struggle and choke
his way into eternity.
na i.o vk n music.
While listening to a country brass
band, marching at tho head of a torch
light procession, 1 was seized witli the
iusuppressihlo desire to become a niusi
o an, and upon broaching the matter to
the leader of tin* hand, who was my
father’s hitter enemy, ho loaned mo a
horn to take home and practice on. J
do not remember the name of tho horn,
lint it had seen much service and was
considerably haltered up in places. Its
keys generally refused to go down at tho
proper time, and after they were once
down it was next to impossible to get
them up. I proceeded to learn the
scale, as tho leader had directed, and
a funeral pall seemed to fall over tho en
tire family. Tho deaf housekeeper, who
had been faithful to ns for ten years,
said that duty called her elsewhere,
and then she left. Even tho dog, for
which I had traded tho violin, and who
seemed to cherish a sincere affection for
me, wont back to his old homo, and no
means of persuasion, except a strong
piece of olothea-liuo, would induce him
to come back. People seemed to slum
our house. Tho tax collector, who had
been a frequent caller during tho pre
ceding few months, broke off tho inti
macy before existing. One might have
thought we had a ease of small-pox in
the house. Seven hired girls left us iu
rapid succession—tvud yet I had not
learned the scale. But my health
seemed to be declining, and I was in
danger of losing my eyes, for every
time 1 practiced the scale they stuck
out so far that I could have knocked
them off with a shingle.
At last, through the advice of my
father, who came to me one day with a
piece of lough carriage-whip and re
mained with me for a few minutes. I sent
tlie horn back to its owner and gave up |

Tim rtvhMAh belief that the conoen
tric rings in tho cross-section of a tree
show its ago need not be shaken by a re
cent argument to the contrary, according
to an Ohio lawyer’s letter ou tho sub
ject. “In tho trial of a largo number
of land grant cases,” he says, "it very
frequently became important to show the
date of survey. This wus shown by the
endorsement on tho document, and cor
roberated by an examination of the
hacks on the line and corner trees of the
survey. Those hacks HlVariably left a
scar, which, to the practical surveyor,
was readily detected, even after the lapse
of sixty years. By ‘blocking’ the tree
.mil counting from the hack made by
the surveyor to the outside of the tree,
it invariably corro[>ondod with tho dates
as they npjiesrcd upon the returns made
by the surveyor.”
A Pams journal tells that a New
Torker, whom it names, on coming into
tho poHHcsHion of five thousand
from the estate of a dead uncle, de
voted it to playing baccarat; that he en
joyed a most wonderful run of good luck;
Hint lie broke bank nfter bank in the
French capital until tho doors of those
that remained insolvent were closed de
fensively against him, anil that a year of
this prosjierous gambling made him the
possessor of half a million. He returned
to N. Y. city, and took tine quarters in s
leading hotel. A year passed, and he
did nothing but spend money lavishly.
He went back to Paris last winter, and
mode a fresh onslaught on tho gambling
hells. This time tho conditions of luck
were reversed. His wns bail, and the
gamblers’ was good. He lost as rapidly
and steadily ns previously ho hod won,
and now he is without anything.
A Tboy EDiTon went into the tailor
ing establishment of a German to order
a suit of clothes. After the cloth had
been selected nnd the mensnro taken,
tho tailor demanded n deposit as a guar
antee that the customer would come for
tlio goods. To this tlio editor demurred,
saying Mint ho did not know the tailor
any bettor than the latter knew him.
After some littlo conversation tlio Ger
man, however, waived tho deposit, and
the clothes were made, When our genial
news editor called and paid cash down
for tlio suit, the German was so delighted
that ho asked his customer to go out and
tako a drink with him. Tho editor, of
course, declined, saying he did not drink;
whereupon a gleam of satisfaction and
intelligence combined shot across the
tailor’s countenance, os ho exclaimed:
“Dot’s do reason vy yon pay for de
clothes so quick ns you got ’em.”
In Tnis Austrian empire tho struggle
for supremacy among tlie many lan
guages there spoken is ono of the
burning questions of the day. The
Croats are enraged that the official no
tices of tho Government in Croatia are
published in tho Hungarian language,
which they look lijMin witli tho utmost
loathing as tlie language of a race witli
which they have always been on iii terms.
Tho Croats began on Tuesday of last
week to tear down tlio offensive notreos
in Agrani, but the troops were called out
and crushed the mob. Tho rioters re
sumed operations on Thursday, when
they smashed the window of the Gov
ernment building and won the day. Wo
now loam from a dispatch sent from
Vienna that riot* against tlie Hungarian
language have lioen going on in other
towns of Croatia, but that they have
been quelled by the troojw. We pre
sume that tlio uproar will end in tho
triumph of tlio Croatian language in
Croatia.
Tiikur is one faot which is particu

watchers say they aro unable to furnish
predictions of particular tornadoes; they
can only give general warning when the
atmospheric conditions over a certain
territory indicate that the formation of
tornadoes is imminent there. But the
inhabitants of districts where tornadoes

seem, ought to be aide to devise a sys
tem of warnings for themselves. A tor

rapidity when it is once fully developed,
but tlie appearance of the sky always

“What are the chances against s
player in a square gamo of faro ?” the re
porter asked of nn old gambler.
“Against a sucker—a ‘producer,’ 1
mean?” inquired tho gambler.
“I myan tho dork or merchant that
drojw in to taoklo tho game/' said tho
reporter.
“Well, that's what we call tho ‘pro
ducer/” tho sport explained, and then
went On. “Thnt’s tho das# that pro
duces the Wealth that makes gambling a
business. It is the producer’s money
that keejig tho game going. The
chanees he lias of winning, with nothing
against him, and if he hasn’t got a sys
tem, and isn’t belting hlgb, ale about
one out of twn, ok, maybe, two out ol
five—that is, he will lose in two out ol
throe or in three out of five plays against
the batik, and no matter how often he
wins he is sure to lie a dead loser in the
end. If he plays big and has a system
the denier soon gets on to It. If he is
struck on a Card or plays ‘throe on a
side, 1 or ‘odd and even’ ‘or both ends
against the middle,’ it will take the
dealer no time to find it out, and as it is
his duty to prot ct the hank, lie will
shuffle tho curds so as to lay the player
out cold. The player generally sticks to
his system and has no chuuco. If there
are a number of persons playing, of
eourso it is difficult for the dealer to
handle the eards in this way, but often
the numerous jilsyers seen at a table nre
staked playors, who nre playing with the
hank’s money, and of whom tho dealer
takes no notice, as it makes no differ
sneo whether 110 wins or not, so his
whole attention can he given to the jiro
ducer. In nearly every hank they have
a lot of cappers hanging around, and
when a producer comes in they are
’staked’ to start the game,
"The dealer has another trick,” the
sport continued, “that we call ‘ taking
the card by tlio ear.’ If the jilayer is a
‘high roller,’ that is, a big better, and
has a favorite card, it may lose for him
all the time. Iu that ease tho dealer
put* it on it* projs'r pile, hut if the
player is winning, the dealer will throw
tho card down carelessly, no that it
doesn’t lay squarely on tho pile. Pre
tending to straighten them np, he will
slip tho card under the pile, and then
shufllothem so that in the next deal the
player’s chances are to lose; if tho player
wins again, the dealer will again take
the card by the ear. Tlicso things can
not be done where there aro a numlicr
of genuine players, for in that case it
mukoß little difference to the hank who
wiiiß or loses, the players playing each
other’s money and the hank having the
lieneflt of the splits.”
“And this is what you call a square
game ?”
“Why, of course; all this is done
merely to protect tho blink, which must
havo some protection. In a brace gamo
the player stands no more show of win
liing than he does of swallowing a light
ning-rod. 111 the square game there is
some show for him. But every player
has his system with which lie experts to
break the bank, and lie finds out i 1 the
end the truth of tlio saying Hint there
never was a system the dealer couldn’t
beat. These things are necessary, as I
said, to protect tho bank. It is often
subject to losses by shoe-string players,
who, being deeply in debt, manage to get
hold of s few dollars, and, having noth
ing much to loose, conclude to try their
luck. Sometimes a fellow wins S6OO or
8700 off a ‘shoe-string,’ as we call a small
stake, goes out and pays his debts, and
that’s the last tin' bank sees of the money.
The chances are if he has $5 or $lO left
lie’ll come back, and, if luck is still with
him, may win a few more hundred. But
talk about it as yon may, faro is the
fairest and squarest game, and if n nun
must gamble I’d advise him to tack It
nothing clue.”
"Oan’t faro lie beaten?”
"Not unless you play a limitless game
and have a mint of money to do it with.
If a bank has $2,000, you can iiet $2,000
on a card, and if it wins the bank it
busted and there’s an end of it. If you
loso you have to keep on doubling yom
bets until you do win, when, of course,
tho desired end is accomplished. But
every hank has its limit, and when you
get to it you’ve got to stop there. Tin
fuel that few gamblers have money shows
which way the wind blows. It’s a rare
one dies rich. The banks make tht
money, tho ‘producer’ furnishes, and
the professional sport kind of hangs in
between the two until women or whisky
bring him to his grave. ’
Troubles in Lake Michigan.
In Grand Traverse Bay recently, at
some distance out iu deep water, be
tween Traverse eity and Marion island,
the water began to boil and surge, and
presently rose in vast jets to the height
of from ten to twenty feet. Beiug ob
served from the shore no details could
be given on aocouut of tho distance;
but the same thing has taken pliufe
years before, and some two years ago,
according to an account given by the
Herald at the time, parties in a boat
were so nearly on the spot that they
were obliged to hasten out of the way.
They described the water as apparently
boiling np from the very bottom of the
bay, which in that place was nearly or
quite one hundred feet deep, bringing up
with it vast quantities of mud aud other
substances and emitting an intensely
unpleasant sulphurous smell. The area
of the eruption, if it may lie so called,
was about twenty feet in diameter and
tho time about half an hour. At inter
vals the water would subside into calm
ness and then the commotion would be
gin again. It is said by old settlers that
the same thiug has occurred iu other ■

to a representative of this paper, when ques
tioned about the case of her mother: “ 1 can
very cheerfully give iny testimony in favor
of bo valuable an article as Hunt’s Remedy.
My mother, whu ia aeTenty-six years of ago,
has for over thirty years been afflicted with
kidney, liver and ho aft diseases, which has
confined her to the house most of the time;
and to add to her other troubles, about three
years ago dro; ay in its worst form set in
We had three doctors, who did all they cotild
for her with bOt little success, as she grew
rapidly worse, and death seemed inevituble.
At times her body and limbs would bo swollen
nearly twice their usual size. Her physicians
gave her np, saying they could do nothing
more for her. She also given up by her
friends. Having heard of the great amount
of good Hunt’s Remedy had accomplished,
and of the remarkable Cures it had made ill
similar cases, we thought as a last hope wo
would try It, aud to the great astonishment
of us all included) she began to im
prove, and iu a very short time the swellings
left her entire l>ody; the ninny aches nnd pains
from which she suffered she knows no more.
She walked out this summer for the first
time m years, and ia as comfortable as c m
be expected for a woman of her jt rs. We
all feel that we owe much to God's mercy
nnd Hnnt’a Remedy.”

riliall Wo Lot the Child Die?
A hard-hearted political economist, looking at a pale and puny*child
feebly gasping as it lies upon a pillow, says t.iat the child might as well
die. It is so weak and poor that its life will never be worth much anyhow.
There are already a good many people in the world who are of not much
account anyhow. And what’s the use of adding to their number another
weakling, w ho has but slender chance of ever amounting to anything?
Now ask that child’s mother what she thinks about letting the child
die. About this time the hard political economist had better get out of
the way. "Let my child die? A'ol A T ol •As long as there is a remedy to
be found that rvill save that child, the child shall not die! I'll spend my last
dollar to save the child. 1 " Well, try a bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters
on that child. See the poor little fellow pick up strength. He revives,
lie v .:! live. 11. 'Sts of other children have been brought almost from death
