FULLED IHS NOSE.
The colonel of the Red Hussars was on
Irishman, who was as proud of hit nation
ality at it is possible for an Irishman to be,
and that is not saying a little by any means.
He carried bis patriotism so for as to aver
that not only were the Irish the finest, the
most courageous, the most gifted of the
four nationalities, hot that nearly all the
really great Englishmen were really Irish
men. He justified this Hibermamsni by a
mode of reasoning which was highly ortgi
aal but not wholly convincing. It would
have provoked shouts of laughter in the
mess if it had pr ceeded from the iii' of a
subaltern. but the colonel was a different
person to deal with.
When he launched out on his favorite
topic, therefore, he was listened to in d.src
•pectful silence by his subordinates, but in
revenge it was the greatest delight of tbe
wags of the regiment to mimic his voice
and manner, and to represent him as utter
ing the most astounding Hibernian false
hoods, garnished with numerous expressions
of a wholly profane oharacer.
This was called "doing old Pat,” and was
a very popular amusement in every mess
room where tbe colonel’s personality was
known. His real name, of course, as the
army list will tell you, was Col. Dominick
Sydney Power, but this is a comparatively
trifling detail.
Therefore, when the Red Hussars heard
that Sir James Macleod had been gazetted
from the Blues to their own regiment, con
jecture ran very rift among tne officers
whether Sir John would contrive to hit it
off amicablv with ‘‘Old i’at.”
It was generally felt that the stranger
would probably prove a Scotchman of tbe
deepest dye, with a very large allotment of
Scotch pride and patriotism, while, no
doubt, after his experience in tbe Blues, be
would be inoliced to regard a mere colonel
in a hussar regiment with more compassion
than reverenoe.
"It would be great fun if ha goes for old
Pat, and gives it to him hot, when be be
gins tbe usual rot,” said young Fausbawe,
with a broad grin, and it as generally
agreed among the junior officers of the reg
iment that it would be great fun indeed.
While bis subordinates were coming to
this insubordinate decision Col. Dominick
Power was engaged in reading a loug letter
from an old schoolfellow of bis, and a
former brother officer of Sir James Mao
leod s, to whom be bad written a few lines
previously, 10 order to make some inquiries
with regard to the new Importation into the
mess room of the Red Hussars and the
baronet’s motives for effeotmg the ex
change.
“A woman is at the bottom of it, as
usual,” wrote Capt. Fletcher of the Blues,
"Macleod was very hard hit, and she threw
him over for no reason that any one can
divine. He knew that you were ordered
abroad, and be wants to get out of the
country without appearing to run away.
He is a capital fellow, he is a goixl sports
man; A1 abot: and very popular in tbe
regiment. There is only one point on which
I bad better caution you. Don’t bet with
him. He is a very devil at bets, and always
wins.”
Sir James Macleod proved to be a tall,
fair young man, whose long features and
high cheekbones testified very clearly that
the place of bis birth lay beyond the Tweed.
Hie manner was that of a thorough man of
tbe world, and it is not remarkable, under
the circumstances, that be gtonatonce
with tbe young men who were to be his
companions for the future.
“Wethought you would be no end of a
heavy swell,” said young Fanshawe. in a day
or two, during which friendship had ripened
into familiarity, “but you ain’t a bit.”
V\ bereat Sir James Maoleod laughed good
hmnoredly.
“What ehall you do when old Pat begins
his usual rot,” continued Fansuawe, in a
confidential tone, “about Ireland being the
finest country la the universe, and every
body else being miserable scarecrows and
outsiders' Shall you stick up for ’Auld
ReekieS’ I wish you would. It w ould make
Pat so sick.”
‘•What do you mean. 1 ” inquired the other.
Young Fanshawe explained his meaning at
some length,
“And you think that he would be furious
if any one contradicted him!” inquired
Macleod, fixing a wary eye on the other.
“Furious! I think he would have a fit.”
Macleod deliberated for a moment with
the same wary expression of awe, and then
be said quietly;
“I should like to make a bet with you. I
will lay you two ponies to a Alo-uote
that if you will draw the colonel out on his
favorite topic, I will contradict him on
every point, we will have a most angry
discussion aad at the end the oolonel will be
as good humored and pleased as if —well, as
if I bad put £IOO in his pocket.”
“You don’t know Old Pat,” replied Fan
shawe, shaking his head. “He’ll make the
regiment too hot to hold you in less than no
time.”
“Well, shall I take the bet!” suggested
Macleod blandly.
“No, I won’t bet on a certainty.”
“Are you sure,” inquired Macleod, with
an air of doubt, “that it isn’t that you don t
feel—quite—up—to drawing Old Fat——”
“You may book the bet,” cried Fan
shawe, haughtily, and his cheek flushed
with anger. "And if you lose you will have
BO one to thank but yourself.”
And soil came about that that same
evening after dinner, when tbe wine was
circulating pretty freely, and a mellow
glow was beginning to make its appearauce
on the colonel's ripe visage, young Fan
shawe, to the consternation of tbe mess,
proceeded to introduce the subject of a cer
tain deceased Irish politician.
“What a scoundrel that fellow was," said
young Fanshawe, apropos of nothing, and
dragging the dead leader into the conver
sation precisely as Mr. Dick used to hoist
King Charles the First’s head into the
“memorial.”
Tbe other subs looked at young Fanshawe
with an expression of amazement. Had be
gone out of his senses or had the wine got
into his head! Closer inspection, however,
showed that he looked unnaturally sober
and unusually intelligent.
Then there must be some game on—some
game at tbe colonel’s expense. This would
probably be good sport, and it would be as
well to be in it at the death.
HOld Pat was not to be drawn by young
Fanshawe. He snorted indignantly, but re
served bis steel for worthier foes.
The circle of watchful eyes now turned to
Fanshawe. What would be his next move?
“My pater has just bought a hogshead of
the finest Scotch whisky,” said the youth,
coming up to time with c immeudabie alac
rity and a cheerful smile. “I hale Irish
whisky. It is such sickening, soapy stuff.
I think Scotch it much the best.”
"Don’t you think so, Macleod?” said
young Fanshawe to the Scotchman, who
was cracking walnuts with the utmost iu*
souciauce.
“Don’t I think whst?” he replied.
“That Sootcb whisky is better than
Irish.”
"Why, of course. Can there be any
doubt! Does any one dispute it!"
This sally was too muen for old Pat. He
plunged at once into the fray, and a heated
discussion ensued. At least it was heated
on his side, for Macleod retained an appear
ance of judicial calm which would have put
Job himself iu a bad temper.
In a comparatively short time a great
deal of unpalatable information was shot
upon the colonel. He was told that not
only was Hootch whisky far more pleasing
to the taste than Irish, but it was less in
jurious to the health, and there was less of
Illicit distillation in Scotland than in Ire
land.
Warming apparently to his subject, and
utterly regardless of Old Fat’s passionate
and profane defease, Macleod went on to
enunciate the view that all that was really
food and great In the Irish uatiou was
.nglisb or Scotch In origin: that the Irish
colonies in English towns formed tne most
criminal and degraded p irtiou of the popu
lation, and that there was actu illy some
thing in the climate or the soil of Ireland
which deteriorated the physical aad moral
Character of the inhabitants.
"For proof of this," continued Maoleod,
“it is quite enough to refer to n well known
and incontrovertible fact. Whether it is
due to the potatoes which they eat or the
bog water which they drink. I don’t know,
but it is quite enough for ruy purpose that
every irishman of anything like ancle , t
descent has a black roof to his mouth. You
| will bear me out in that, colonel, I am sure.”
‘•it’s a lie,” roared the colonel, whose eyes
were nearlv starting out of his bead. “An
j infernal lie!”
“How! A lie, colonel! Do you mean to
deny what 1 have stated!”
“I mean,” shrieked old Pat, “that tbe
Powers of Balivccran are one of tbe oldest
families in Ireland; that they were on in
timate terms with Brian Buro and that
whin tbe blissid St. Patrick came tna: way
twas me own ancestors that gave him tne
(. end mille failtbe to Bailycoran. and if ye
can find a single black roof in the m utns
of tbe entire family, may the divil fly off
with the soul of the dirty varmin.”
“This is very interesting, indeed,”replied
Macleod. gazing at the colonel as if that
dignitary were the missing link, or anew
form of butterfly. “I had no id'a that
anyone—even —an Irishman—would d.sputa
it. Now, I dare say that you have never
thought of examining your own mouth 1”
The oolouel’e reply was of a nature that
would have been an expensive one bad be
made it in the presence of a magistrate who
piqued himself on enforcing the penalties
against swearing.
“Strange, very strange,” said Maoieod,
who was still quite calm. “Now, I think I
will lay you two to one in £lO notes that I
am right.”
“1 will make it five to one in £2O notes,”
continued Macleod with an air of great con
fidence. “that you yourself have a black
roof to your mouth.”
“I will take the het,” spluttered the colo
nel, who was now in a white heat of rage.
“By me soul, 1 wlil take the same, just to
teaoh you not to bet on subjects of whioh
you know nothing. It will be a useful les
son . And now, bow do you propose to decide
this bet!”
Sir James Macleod suggested that ocular
inspection would be quicker and more satis
factory method—ocular inspection by the
senior officers of the mess. Ttieir words
would probably be sufficient for both
parties.
Candies were accordingly sent for at
once, and a dead silence ensued. Every
man looked at the other as if inquiring
what would be tbe next act in this singular
drama.
Even young Fanshawe forgot to laugh.
The colonel breathed heavily and bis eyes
glared at hie adversary, who still retained
bis unmoved demeanor.
At last the lights came. Armed each with
a candlestick, the major, tbe captain and
tbe senior subaltern iu turn examined the
gaping orifice which the colonel revealed to
their gaze, during which inspection young
Fanshawe threw himself headlong on to a
sofa and kicked like a person in mortal
agony, wnile the other two subalterns ex
pressed their feelings in a bear fight behind
the oolonel’s unconscious bead.
The verdict of the judges was unanimous.
They declared that the roof of the colonel's
mouth was red. not black.
“Not black!” cr.eo Sir James Macle and, In
tones of amazemeut “Are you sure?”
“Quite sure,” replied the major, judi
cially.
“Well, gentlemen, you have surprised
me,” said Made and, glancing from one to
the other, us if he could scarcely believe
bis ears. “Of course I believe you—but—if
tbe colonel will permit it 1 should like
to look myself just to oouvince my own
eyes.”
“Look away, mv boy,” chuckled the col
onel, hoarsely. He was oonvulsed with de
light at his complete triumph. “Ye’ll have
to pay for your peep.’’
“Well, then, please open your mouth a
little wider, colonel, and will one of you
hold the light! Ready, oolonel, you must
excuse me, but I cau’t see. You must really
let me open your mouth a little wider.”
With those words he actually laid onosno
rilegiuus hand on the colonel’s nose aud the
other ou the colonel’s chin, aud pressed
them gently in opposite directions. There
was not a man among all the reckless crew
who stood around but held Ids breath for
tbe momeut in anticipation of a terrible ex
plosion.
The indignity was, however, of the very
shortest duration, for Macleod was satisfied
with the briefest glance.
“I have lost,” he Baid, quite cheerfully,
“and I owe you an ample apology, colonel.
Luckily, I have the notes with me.”
He produced his pocket book, extracted
two £SO notes from it and handed them to
the colonel.
“Well,” he said with a loud roar of
laughter, “you are an impudent young ras
cal. But I didn’t think that a Scotchman
aud his money were so easily parted.”
And amid sympathetic roars from the
entire mess, who thought the whole thing a
practical joke all round, the oolonel’s indig
nation melted iuto intense enjoyment of his
own success.
The only person who was unsettled in his
mind was young Fanshawe, who could not
understand why Macleod should have risked
£IOO in so foolish a way.
"I don’t think much of that Scotch chap
you sent us,” wrote the colonel a few days
later to his old schoolfellow, Capt. Fletcher,
of the Blues. “Too much brag; too little
bottom. He’ll never set the Thames on fire.
Only a few nights ago he actually bet me
£IOO to £2O that I had a black roof to my
mouth—cheeky young devil! Well, I took
the bet, just to give him a lessen. Yon
ought to have seen his face when be lost.
Really, 1 couldn’t help roaring with laugh
ter to see how confident he had been aud
how sold he was. Y’ou must be a dull lot m
the Blues if he always wins from you. Any
how, I have broken tbe record.”
“Capt. Fletcher wrote by return of post
to his old schoolfellow, Col. Dominick
Power:
" Confound you! Didn't I caution you
most pointedly not to bet with him!
Couldn’t you have known that there must
be some deviltry on, or a mau would not
throw away his money in such a preposter
our fashion! Before he left us Macleod laid
me £IOO to £I,OOO that he would pull your
nose id the presence of the mess before he
had been a week in the regiment, aud with
out being court-martialed or even placed
under arrest font, and 1 have just received
a rouud-robin, signed by all vour mess, de
claring that he has won the bet."
A DOG’S LONG TRAMP.
He Makes a Hundred Miles In Less
Than Two Days.
Gordon Keller of Valdosta loaned a favor
ite hound last week to a friend in Jesup,
over 100 miles away. The dog went by
express. Monday he got a letter from bis
friend saying that the dog had got away,
but that he had heard of turn five miles
away going in the direction of Havannah,
and be had sent after him and expected him
back before night. While Mr. Keller was
reading the letter the dog ran up to him in
the bouse, and was overjoyed at reaching
home again after so long a tramp. Mr.
Keller did not feel badly about seeing his
dog, either, after having just read that he
was lost. Ihe animal made the trip home
in less than two days.

A SHIP TRISS TO STEAL AWAY
She Had Been Libeled and Her Captain
Showed Hie Heels.
Punt a Gorda, Fla., Not. 20.—The
British baric Chittagang grounded in going
to sea last week. The Charlotte Harbor
Lighterage Company got ber off and
claimed $5,000 salvage. Five hundred dol
lars was offered and refused, and the light
e age company libeled the ship. The cap
tain appeared twice tiefore United States
Commissi >ner DeCaster and had his hear
ing put off from Friday to Saturday and
from Saturday to Monday. A deputy
United Statoa marshal was appointed and
sent to the ship. The captain left town
Saturday night, reached bis ship and kept
the marshal off by force and bluff. The
captain then made sail and tried to run
away with hu ship, but grounded again
worse than before. Judge DeCaster hear
ing of the action of the captain, sent a
steamer and several deputies to capture the
ship. The captain, disregarding this, tried
every means of getting bis ship off and
failed.
Tuesday United States Marshal Bartholo
mew arrived and reiibeled the ship from a
litiel issued in Judge Locke’s court and took
the ship's papers away with him to Tampa,
leaving the ship iu charge of a deputy. On
Tuesday night the lighterage company suc
ceeded in getting the ship off again. This
will be an interesting case in the courts,
and one of double salvage, and may result
in the imprisonment of the captain for his
contempt of the United States commis
sioner.

HIDING THE MOHDERIB.
Good Story of Early Days In a Cali
fornia Town.
Form the San Jote News.
In early days ray experience in this city
led cue to believe that among the rough
classes they had a very expeditious aud
thorough way of disposing of murderers by
doing away with the victims,” said a
pioneer to a .Veins reporter. “This method
obviated the inconvenience to which mur
derers are often in these days subjected
by reason of tedious trials, not to say any
thing of the confinement in jail and danger
of being hanged. The incident to which I
refer took place in 1850, in an adobe Mexi
can gambling bouse. As near as 1 can judge
it stood a little to the rear and south of the
site of the new postofflee building. If I
am not mistaken a portion of the walls of
of ihe building were standing not iong ago.
“I hud not been in the habit of frequent
ing such places, but as I had a little lime 1
thought 1 would look around town and sea
what I could find in the way of excitement.
I was rather foolhardy those time*, and I
pushed my way into this little adobe hut
that was orowded with drunken Mexicans
all engaged in gambliug. There were not
many white men in San Jose then, most of
thorn having gone to the gold mines in El
Dorado aud to her northern counties, and
when 1 made my appearance among tbe
crowd of dark, hard-looking gamblers, they
looked at me witlQconsideruble surprise.
“1 made my way to the table where they
were playing a game of cards. I never
knew what kind of game it was, for the
instant 1 looked on the table there happened
a startling incident which completely dis
concerted me and made me rush from the
place in alarm.
THE REPORT OF A PISTOL
rang out and|a Mexican , who was seated on
a bench next tojthe wal.l dropped dead with
a ghastly wound in bis head. 1 and a num
ber of others scrambled out of there imme
diately, aud I went and notified the alcalde
aud several other officers of the place.
“I think the government building was
located then about where Druids’ hall is
now, at tbe northeast corner of Market and
El Dorado streets. Several of the officers
went with me to the gambling house. There
was considerable delay, that to me seemed
unaccountable, and it was an hour after
the fatal shot was fired before we fi ally
i cached the gambling house. Tbe games,
whioh were open and did not seem to be in
the least prohibited, were again in progress,
as if nothing bad happened, and no trace of
a dead man was to be found.
"inquiries of the gamblers as to a shoot
ing scrape and a man being killed were met
with looks of amazement and wonder,
and denials that there had been any such
occurrence. There were no traces of blood
on the wall or on the bench where the
muidered man sat, and 1 found myself
in the peculiar position of being entirely un
suppoi ted iu my story about a murder. I
then made a search for the body or other
evidence of the crime. I suspected that I
was more tbau retarded in my work by the
officers. I spoke iu Mexican very well,
having been among them several years.
"1 wus not satisfied, and demanded that
there must be some sort of an official in
quiry into tbe affair. To this the authorities
acceded, and the uext day a half-dozen of
those that 1 was sure had seen the tragedy
were called upon to testify what they knew
about it. To my astonishment, even under
oath, all disclaimed any knowledge of any
pistol having been fired or any one having
been shot at the time I claimed, or
AT ANY OTHER TIME THAT DAY.
"It was said by the witness that no one
was missing auioug their friends or ac
quaiuta oes, and therefore nobody could
have been murdered. 8o uuauiinuus was
the testimony against me that tbe officers
began to turn upon me looks as if they sus
pected me of insanity, and I actually began
myself to doubt whether or not the awtul
scene I had beheld was reality ora vision.
The investigation came to nothing, and
nothiug more was ever done about tbe
matter. I afterward learned in a confiden
tial sort of away that tbe murdered mau
was a very hard character and a swindler
at cards, and therefore, be bad long been
marked out among tbe gamblers as a vic
tim for a bullet.
“On tbe occasion In question he had been
doing some high handed work, and bis end
came. How the body was ever spirited
away so neatl v and completely in so short a
space of time was a mystery that I never
could solve. The gamblers never showed
any feeling against me for my action iu the
matter. 8 ime of my friends told me I
might be in danger after that, nut although
for several mouths subsequently I was
arouud among the Mexicans at all hours of
tne day and night, I wus never harmed or
even threatened.”

CARRIAGE AND HARNESS.
Wheeling. West Virginia, may be
a very pleasant place for tboee who
live there, but you can't enjoy its ad
vantages to any great extent, and
very naturally you will want to have
a little wheeling in your own vicinity.
The road may be handy but you need
a carriage to get over it, and we have
the largest stock of the finest Car
riages ever seen in this state. They
are wheels and no mistake, and such
wheeling as they produce can't be
found in West Virginia or anywhere
else. We also have a stock of Har
ness fit for Nancy Hanks, handsome
as the equine beauty, durable, well
made aud sold at moderate figures.
Don't be sold by buying either Car
riages or Harness elsewhere.
