Tbo other morning, wbilo Mr. Cole,
the proprietor of the approaching cir
cus and menngcrio of that nemo, sms
picking bis tooth on tho steps of thut
excellent hotel, tho Bass Honso, a
tall, sun-bnrncd, bald-hcadod man,
with pine bnrrs in bis clothes and a
stick of sassafras in bis month, ap
proached and said:
'Bo yon tbe wild animal man, mis
ter?"
Tho proprietor of tho “Double Mam
moth Mastodon Aggregation” admit
ted tbat snob was tbo fact
"Then," proceeded tbo umu from
tbe mountains, "I tbink I'll get yon
to make mo an offer for a Inrgo-aizcd
California lion I’vo got.”
“Good spociniCD, oh?” naked- tbo
irons man.
ytlood? Well, I nl.onld xny so.
Measures eleven feet from lb,, tip of
his nose to tbe tip of bis tail. Conglit
him myself when a cub. Just four
years old to-morrow.”
‘Hum—good appetite ?”
'Appetito? Great Scott 1 Appe
tite? Well, I should smile—that’s
jnst tht point—that’s just why I'm
parting with Jay—I call him Jiiy
Gould beennse bo takoa everything in.
If it wasn’t for his appetite, uinl the
queer little things it makes him do,
I wonliln't part with Gonld fur a for
tune.’’
"Savage, oh ?"
“Well, no; I don’t know as I should
call sarogo exactly—sorter nibblish,
though, bo may bo. IIss a kinder
habit of gnawing up tbingB, so tu
speak. In fact tbe neighbors- I lire
up at Bladder’s Peak—have gotten to
bo so noisy and fussy and particular
of late tbat I can’t so much as nnctmin
J. Gonld for n little fresh air without
their getting grumpy about it"
"There's no pleasing some people,”
said tbo bippodromor.
“I should say net. Now, f rinstanee,
'boot three months after Jay got to
tx> aa big as a boarding bonne sofa, I
came home ono day from a picnic end
found be had eaten np Annt Maria,
who bad keen loft at heme to mind
tbo bonsc—leastwise, she was nowhere
to be found; and ns Jay Gonld seemed
sorter bulgy-like, and kept congbing
np hairpins and false teeth for a day
or two, we kinder snapicioned the
whole thing ”
“Maternal annt?" inquired tbe
showman, thoughtfully.
"Exactly. My wife took on dread
fully at first, ami wanted mo to shoot
Jay right off. But I told her ho bad
probably suffered a good deni as it
was, and that ns mast likely bo'd
catch rheumatism aud things from
the remains, we’d better call it
square."
"Well, sbo kindor got reconciled af
ter a while, ospccinlly as Jay seemed
fond of playing with tbe childreu. One
morning soon nftur that my wife’s
down after a while.'
"Pacified her, eb ?"
"Too, I uiunagod to amngo a re
piia.o for Jay somehow. You see, I
was always awful fond of pots, and
tonder-hoartod, and nil that, you un-
derstnud. I argued that tho poor an
iuial didn't know that ho war doing
wrong—merciful man is morcifnl to
bis benst, etc. That smoothed things
over for nnotker month.”
"Wbat knppcucd then ?
"Woll, ono day I sont JobuDy, our
yonugost boy, down to the store for
somo sugar, and ho took Gonld along
for company. Now, whether it was
bocanso Jay was fond of sugar or not,
I don't know, but bo came home
alone, and soon aa wo noticed a pecu
liar kind of bulge on bis ribs, about
ns big as Johnny, wo conclndod that
tbo dread archer bad marked anotlior
Skidmore—my namo is Skidmore—
for bis own. Tho wbolo family took
on liko mad, and Mrs. Skid was about
to sbovo tbo powder keg under Jay
Gonld and touch it off herself when I
pointed ont that, it wouldn't do to
desecrate onr offspring’s tomb iu that
way. So I jnst bad tlio burial service
reed ovor tbo lion, aud tied crapo
nrouud bis neck for thirty days. How
does that strike you?"
“After that time you kept tho uni
mnl chained ?’’
“ Well, no. Tho fact is, I sit ont
to got a chain several times, but one
thing and another prevented until
one day last week I actually missed
tho old lady herself. I looked nrouinl
for her for a couplo of dnys, when
somehow of a sadden I sorter inten-
tioned where she was. I gn\o Gonld
about half a pound "f emetic rijht
away, tint all we conld got out of him
was a pair of higb-hcclod shoes mid a
chest protector. It was too lato—too
lato. Wo put tho shoes and things
into a coffin and had Jay led behind
tho benrso to tlio coinctery. We want-
oil to hnvo ns much of tho corpse pres
ent as possiblo—don’t you soe ? Wo
had tlio nnimal nil decorated with
llowors anil things, an line as yon
plonsc. Folks said it was tho touch
ingest thing that ever took place in
them parts," aud tho bereaved hus
band sigbed honvily.
“ Don’t wonder you want to sell tho
boast,” remarked the meuageriu man,
after a pause.
Well, I sorter do nnd I sorter
don’t,” sniil Mr. Skidmore, abstracted
ly. " There's so many memories and
things clustering around J. G. —scorns
kindor like purling with one’s family
burying lot, ns it were. On the other
hand though, now that the old lady
is gone, I sorter feel ns if the old in
sect had—woll, ontlivod bis useful
ness, so to sponk. So snpposo I jus'
have this box hauled around to your
•how after tho performance this after
noon and see if wo can't strike a bar
gain.”
"All right,” said tlio lunnogtr.—
" I'ui going np Salt Lake way after
awhile, and perhaps I cun work him
ofl for big money to some of tho Mor
mon elders.”
There’s a mine of money iu him
as ft family pet," said the other earn
estly, and after striking tho circus
proprietor for a season dead bend the
widower shouldered his umbrella and
drifted sadly down the stroet.
A Valuable OntNrr Plaut.
TeU-ffMph an<! Mt*(oiipr« r.
Dr. Lucias Maddox, of Clinch coun-
ty, is in tbe city, having jnst rctnrnod
from Cincinnati, where lie has been
to dispose of a century plant. The
plant has lieon n|Kin tlio doctor's
plantation, to his personal knowledge,
forty years. .Seeing that it was about
to bloom, he advertised it, and re-
volition assembled in this city on the
•11U instant, to consider the best way
to rcliove onr iitato of tho evils con
nected with tho use and abuse of in
toxicating liquors. Tho convention
was composed of representative njen
from all parts of tlio State. Iu their
opinions they were conservative, in
their plaus th v wero practical, and in
thoir purposes they were firm and de
termined. The body iu its delibera
tions was singularly free from unrea
sonable enthusiasm aud nubridlod fa
naticism. Tbo body, ufter a calm,
thoughtful aud harmonious session,
agrcod to go, through its committee,
before tho General Assombly, with n
bill embodying tho features of a local
option law, with the position of par
ties thereto reversed. It is needless
in this address to rohearso the minor
details of tho bill; they are snch os
seem best calculated to secure the en
forcement of the law and the suppres
sion of tlio evils of intemperance. We
now call upon tho citizena of the State
to oxpress their approval of tlio meas
ure nnd to ondorso the action of tbe
convention. This tlioy can do by res
olutions adopted by neighborhoods,
districts, cities and villages, nssurn-
bloil in thoir court houses or ucado-
mios or other places of mooting, or by
petitions circulated to which their
names may bo signed, aud tliuii give
publicity to their action throngli com
muuientions addressed-to the secreta
ry of this commitSoe at Atlanta, and
to thu pnpers published iu their re-
puctivc counties. Fallow citizens,
vc are near to the victory! Tbo evil
iu all its magnitude has been appre
bended by the won and women of our
Statu, thu danger of delay is fully ap
preciated, and tho importance of calm,
determined action ia rocognizoil. Tho
judiciary of the Stato is right on tbe
queation; tho presa of Goorgia favors
repressive aud restrictive tnoasnres;
thu minietry of our clturcboe aro sup
porting thu reformation; the solicit
ous parents are anxiously watching
for a remedy; tlio uufortnuato victims
of tho ivino cup aro appealing for
help; thu good citizens of ovury race
and color, of all creeds nnd partios, of
all ranks aud stations iu socioly, are
oxpocting relief, and the noble womon
of our graud old commonwealth, with
entreaty crystnllizod in toars and am
balmod ill prayoni, are appealing (o’
tlio Genera! Assembly to stay tlio tiilo
aud break aud beat back tbo waves of
ruin and sorrow that oomo like n Hood
in tho wake of strong drink, and Gwl,
who enjoins virtno aud society npon
His intelligent erentnros—all—all arc
on our sido. Be hopeful—lie firm—
be decided, anil in the name of Fusee
and Honor and Truth and Manhood

ly rnako much difference wbat kind of
a book it is—whotber it's a Jteviscil
Testament or tbo Ufa ot Bill Jones—
I always tako a copy. My universal
willingness to snatch tbe burning
brands of red-hot literatare from tbe
hands of pampered agents has made
me famons from Fort Valley to Chi

ters this town without calling on me
first man. Bnt I called tbe tarn one
day last week. Yon lore ember that
day when tbo bottom of basinets was
knocked forty ways for Snnday, nnd
don’t yon forgot it ? Well, ou tbat
day I felt bine enongh to sell my laat
yoar's baby and strike oat for Land-
rille. I always want to go to Lend,

It was an awful dnU day. Oataide
thoro was a damp drizzle of rain, nnd
inside thcro was a showor of collect

About noon timo, wbon hanger was

once and asked:
Huve yon a book imncoalcd about

I have. There's tbe book you
have been reading about so much,”
and ho sbovod a copy of tbo " King

Wneu did I road about it? Wbat
