WESKESDAY EVENING, JAK. 23d, 1881,
It is not to be expected that sn institu
tion possessing tbo numbers, wealth find
influence that belong to the Methodist
church will permit ti e lffOtli anniversary
ofit* founding in this new land to pass
unobserved, and consequently the year
upon which we have entered will be one
of unusual intertst to the men.hers ol
that popular denomination. Although
the first American Methodist society was
organised in New York in 1766, the
general conference organization of the
Mt thodist Episcopal Church in this
country took plaoo in Baltimore in
December, 1784 Nearly a year must
elapse, therefore, before the appropriate
date for a concerted observation of their
American origin by Methodist churches
all over the erfuntry, yet from various
pulpits the minds of congregations were
directed last Sunday to the approaching
a vent —Ronton Fbst.

The Neus and Courier, Charleston, S.
C., desires to obtain fifty or more sketches
of the experience*, crave or gay, lively r.r
si-v re. of the Southern women during
the war. Little has been published
hitherto concerning their sufferings,
anxieties and privations, and Hie News
and Courier wishes to make the record of
the war complete, by giving the American
public a just idea of what the Southern
women endured during the struggle for
the Lost Cause- There was comedy as
well as tragedy in their daily life, arid
tho object is to o! lam descriptions of
every side and phu*o of a Southern
woman's trials and triumphs, at home or
as a refugee, during the Confederate
struggle. The sketches in question will
he published in the 11- ti.ly News
Charleston, S. C., under the g, neral title
of “Our Women in the Wai.” The con
diiions are as follows:
1. 'lhe sketches must he wiiiten by
Southern women who were iu the South
during the war, and shall he confined to
a description of events and circumstances
of which the witters have personal
knowledge, and with which they or their
families were connected
2. Each sketch Hiall fill cot less than
fifteen nor more thau thirty pages of
foolscap, written on oo? side.
3. The sketches shall bo sent, with tho
reul name of the writer, to tho News and
Courier, Cf arleston, S. C., not later than
M irch Ist, 1884.
4. Every sketch that is accepted will
be promptly paid for, and any Southern
woman who desires to do so can scud in
two or more sketch s.
The object in view is certainly au ex
cellent oue, and it is hoped that Southern
women everywhere will do their part in
making the undertaking successful, “in
order,’’ a* the Neus aitd Courier says,
“that tardy justice may he rendered to
tho women who encouraged the soldiers
hy their patient fortitude and solaced
them with w* rds of ch.-er, and who,
through all manner of hardship, of
anguish, of misery, wore faithful and
true to the very end—and after.”

“An old nigger down in Talladega
county, Alabama, had more hunting
sense than any other person I cv r met.
Wc hud bird him and his trap to haul
us about, an i one morning after hnvii g
staid all night at a strange farm house,
our host spoke of a famous pike pond in
the neigh! orhood. We had fishing tackle
along out were not disposed to tarry long
enough to try it. The idea ol a taste of
fresh fish, however, after a f rlnight.
varied only by game and pork, was very
tempting and i said so. C;e*ar over
heard me. Coming forvard he t tucked
Ins cap ami agid:
’Massa, want er get sow* [like for

“Ol course, I responded in the affirma
tive. Cai-ar immediately walked to
where a flock of geese weie preening
them-elves, and shooed them into the
barn, whose door he closed. He then
proceeded to the hou-e, whenco he soon
emerged with a roll of coarse fishing line,
a hunk of bacon, and a handful of hooks
With these lie disappeared in the barn.
For about a quarter of an boor there was
a mighty cackling inside, and then the
dooi was re-opened and Caesar re-appear
ed, driving the flock before him. Each
goose and gander had ab ut a yard of
fishing line, with a hook and a bit o!
bacon attached, fastened to one of its
legs. They took the direc'i m of the
pond, aud we followed, our curiosity
aroused to its fullest extent, t’sesar drove
the geese into the water and across the
pond by waving his arms wildly and
shouting uoioterpretable native objuga
tions. Suddenly a goose gave a scream,
extended her wings, and fluttered ashore
unon the i pposite bank, dragging a pike
after her. Another and another followed,
until the whole flock were high and dry,
and w,i gathered II pike from 14 geese
Needless to say that wo had fre-h fish for
breakfast and at every meal for two days

as spectators bringing up the r< r. and i.t
pateh liv alongside a i-cr'y open stretch
of woods, the ground of which was thickly
carpeted with fallen leaves. A rail fi toe
separated the two. Thesquinels wore at
work and they weie more numerous than
l ever saw them elsewhere. Hun.lre a
scampered away as we came up. Caesar
walked to the centre of the patch on tf •
side near the woods, and with stick
proceeded to tar the top of the second
rail lor a distance of say 30 feet. He then
took Ins station with one of the dogs at
the further end of the patch, sending the
farmer and tho other dog to the opposite
end. We were cautioned to [ reserve the
utmost rigidity and the strictest rilence,
and retire to a point of observation
sufficiently remote to avoid attracting
attention, yet nar enough to enable us
to sen everything that took [dace. After
an interval cf prof,,un l stillness, the
squirrels began to re appear among the
corn. In a short time there must have
been I uti ireds of them. Then Ctesir
uttered a prearranged signal, and the two
dogs were let loose a( the same moment
The r (frighted squirrels bounded upon
the feuce rails, and 'then I noticed that
every one of them ch so tho second rail
from the lop as a promenade. The two
streams kept on unt 1 they met in the
middle of the tarred space in the centre.
When they jumped to the ground, two
at a time. But they went no further.
The tnr proved adhesire. and as they
struck the ground a dry leaf stuck to each
foot. They immediateiy curled up on
their backs, pawsi.i the air, ami lay there,
wistfully regarding the proceedings with
their bright bead-like eyes, ns Ca*-ar,
armed with the buck-kin glove, caught
them up, odc after another, and dropped
them into the yawning mouth of the
corn-bag The squirming mass was sub
sequently found to consist if 63 plump
cornfield squirrels, and we n..t only had
one stew —and a right royal one it was,
too —but the farmer refused to take a
cent from us for our accommodation."—
