New Jokes and Ideas,

MY NOTE-BOOK.
XVIII.
During a journey by rail, not long since, I be
came very much interested in observing the move
ments of a couple on their bridal tour As a gener
al rule, such parties always attempt to conceal the
fact of their recent marriage by trying to act the
role of experience. It is, howerer, in vain. It is a
new thing and would be quite as possible for a
debutante to act the part of Dundreary in the man
ner of Sothern, as for these neophytes to wear the
harness gracefully and naturally like old stagers.
Their very awkwardness betrays to everybody their
inexperience.
The couple in question were no exception to this
general ru'e. They entered the car carefully glov
ed, and seated themselves with an air, evidently
intended to convey to the other passengers the im
pression that they had been traveling together a
longtime. For an hour or more they maintained
as nearly as possible this position—there was an
occasional remgrk one to the other—the bride
groom seemingly engaged in a study of the counte
nances and apparel of the other occupants of the
car, while the bride was taking mental pictures of
the ever varying landscape.
Enter the butcher (so called) with a basket of
oranges, and the scene changes. He invested—
drew off his gloves and commenced peeling an or
ange. This finished he offered it to her. She
drew off her gloves and accepted.
Of course no one even, if they had been married a
thousand years, or if they had never been married
at all, would attempt to eat oranges with gloves on.
That would result in ruin to the gloves, and per
haps, s:ain the orange also.
The peculiarity is, that after the orange is eaten
the gloves do not go on again. The second scene
it seems does not require gloves to be worn. It
commences with a dialogue and ends with a panto
mime. The dialogue being of the nature of Bill
Ford’s solo—so low that you cant, hear it,—will
not be here repeated. It would have met the same
silent fate if every word had been audible to my
ears; because what they said was private and con
fidential.
The pantomime commenced with a movement of
the right hand of the gentleman in the direction
of the right hand of the lady. It then hesitated;
but it was not lost. Presently it moved again
in the same direction and then rested. Thus by
easy stages it reached its destination ; and again
rested. Then clasped its objective point gently as
though there might be danger of crushing it, and,
finding the gentle pressure not immediately dis
astrous, ventured to increase the pressure until in
time the hands were clasped in firm embrace and
the fingers lovingly interlaced as though they were
never again to be “ put asunder.”
After this they seem to care no more about be
ing observed. There is perhaps some magnetic
current put in motion that drowns the glare of the
footlights and renders the audience invisible.
Whether this be true or not the pantomime con
tinues. The left hand of the gentleman finds its
way along the back of the seat, and from thence
around the waist of the lady, producing’ perhaps, a
sensation of faintness. Her eyes close—there is a
gradual leaning toward her husband until the! ead
sinks gently and rests confidentially on his man
ly shoulder.
At this point a man, whom I take to be an old
bachelor, expresses his opinion (soto voce) that such
conduct is sickening. It may and doubtless does
produce that effect on him—poor miserable ignor
ant soul that he is. But to me, the unalloyed sat
isfaction that finds expression in every lookand in
every motion—the perfect confidence evinced by
tone and word and action—the full and complete
happiness that each finds in the presence of the
other, seems but a beautiful exemplification of what
mankind would be if the three great Christian
graces, Faith, Hope and Love could be permitted
to exercise their blessed influence to the exclu
sion of all the baser passions and the degrading
vices that render obscure the vision of Faith—
cast a dark cloud over the silvery brightness of
Hope, and consign even Love the immortal to a
grave from which there is no resurrection.
XIX.
Many years ago, before Hampton had so toned
down the chivalry of South Carolina that they
could be bulldozed into not celebrating the birth
day of George Washington, there lived in Georgia a
certain Dr. J. who enjoyed a wide reputation for
being the Prince of hotel keepers and a humorist
of the first water. One day the Doctor had fora gueet
a South Carolinian who, not being accustomed to
Georgia whiskey, became noisy, and troublesome
both to the Doctor and his guest. The Doctor first
asked him to be quiet, then insisted upon his mak
ing less noise, then told him he must keep still, and,
finding all measures inefficient, finally took him
by the collar and dragged him to the edge of the
piazza from whence he kicked him into the middle
of the street. A friend of the Doctor believing
that he was unacquainted with the character of the
man so summarily ejected, undertook to put him
on his guard thus: _ ,

Sneaks.
Political Sneaks, Friendly Sneaks and
Christian Sneaks--Severe Colors.
BT ALIQCIS.
My Dear Qa&Zbet :—You have frequently asked
my opinion on various subjects and of various
! characters, and among them you have men
tioned the sneaks. In this communication I pro
pose to subject this creature to the most search-
; ing and microseopio investigation, that you may
! be enabled to detect him in all the various dis-
j guises that he may assume, for Proteus has fewer
j shapes and the chamelion not as many hues.
| And, at the outset I find myself involved in seri-
! ous difficulty; for though fishes have had their
i Agassiz, and insects their Huber, and birds their
| Audubon, soience, it seems has not yet de-
i scended to the level of the sneaks, but has pre
ferred to treat this antithesis and antagonist of
all that is noble and good with voiceless scorn,
and to let it rest upon the inverted eminence of
its own littleness; but I feel somewhat a contami
nation and pollution in venturing to touch
him. Nevertheless for your sake I will essay
the task.
The sneak belongs to no species treated of in
j Natural History, and indeed it is hard to con-
I ceive how Nature could become so dwarfed and
drivelled as to produce so pestiferous a shoot.
: And on the other hand, it is equally difficult
| to undestand that he is the child of the devil,
| for he does not rise to the respectability of vice,
and his existence violates the dignity of the Sa-
tanie. Jt is true that Lucifer put on his nor
mal shape when he tempted our great mother in
the shades of Paradise, for snake and sneak are
one and the same; but instead of elevating the
sneak, he lowered himself and became so much
disgusted with the self-imposed degradation
that from that day to this, the King of Hades has
appeared in all other shapes but this.
This creature, like the snake, appears in cap
tivating guise, and like the snake, posesses a
forked tongue, which delights to eject the slime
of slander and scandal. He always enacts the
character of friend toward his victim, and not
infrequently enwraps himself in the panoply of
Christianity and philanthropy. Assuming vir
tues that he does not possess, he worms him
self into your confidence only to betray you,
and, if possible, to ruin you. Having given you
the general outline of the odious characteristics
of the sneak, let me specify by illustration.
The political sneak. Love of country is the
very essence of the patriot; it bounds along his
veins, it permeates and rarifies every part of
his being, it so fills him and thrills him that he
feels himself the country; her honor is his hon
or, her shame his shame. Bo filled is he with
this principle, that he regards every wrong done
to his country a sin for which he is personally
responsible. Superior to party and party-plat
forms, he rises above all considerations of mere
party success, and is solicitous for the good of
the country alone. He seeks not office, he is
not ambitious ot political distinction, he is wil
ling to serve in tne ranks, and if he reaches the
leadership he is the sought and not the seeker.
Such is the true patriot. How different is the
pretended lover of his country, the political
sneak ! All thoughts, all aspirations, all efforts
gravitate towards seif as their common attrac
tive centre. He regards his country as a means
by which he may attain honors and emolument.
He seeks political preferment as the pathway to
fame. He tells, grandiloquently, ot his “be
loved land,” her “vast resources,” her “bound
less wealth,” her “glorious future,” and at heart
regrets that these attributes do not contribute
to swell his private coffers. With brazen cheek
and impudent effrontery, he pertly prates of
human rights, private and political, of liberty
and happiness, of a free franchise, of education,
of morality, of religion, of public improvements,
of enlarged ideas, of all that is great and good
and practical and progressive, when in reality
he is using these arts of the skillful demagogue,
these ad capiandvm appeals to the dear people,
for the purpose of securing the spoils of office,
and a goodly share of the public plunder. Be-
gardless of truth, and destitute of all generous
impulses, he flings his slanderous attacks upon
honorable men who may have been called upon
to represent in the government the real interests
of the country, magnifies their errors of judg
ment, misrepresents their honest convictions,
j and by all means, fair and foul, seeks t® sacri
fice the welfare of the people that he may gratify
his present ambition and secure his individual
aggrandizement. Such a creature, instead of
receiving the suffrages of true men deserves uni
versal reprobation and execration. He ia a po
litical sneak 1
The friendship of Damon and Pythias, whe
ther fabled or real, approximates sublimity in
its nature. That of David and Jonathan is re
corded by inspiration, and is worthy of un
doubting credence. There is, then, a friend
ship which will dare all and do all for the ob
ject on which it rests. It will submit to the op
pression of tyranny; it will endure scorn and
contumely; it will be unabashed in the presence
of pride and haughtiness; it passes unscathed
through the fiery ordeal of gibes and taunts; it
offers life and liberty and property that it may
serve its fellow. When character is assailed, it
defends; when honor is attacked, it repels the
accuser; when slander is abroad, it stops its
ears. Knowing that man is full of weakness,
the victim of powerful passions, the prey of
evil counsellors, liable to err, and imperfect by
nature, it seeks the good that illuminates his
character and delights to contemplate his vir
tues. And while it does not ignore faults, and
is ever ready to condemn error, it strives to ele
vate, never to degrade, a fellow mortal. Such
is a feeble sketch of true friendship.
But what shall I say of that individual who
prostitutes this holy emotion to base uses ? The
experience of man is full of false friendship.
There do exifjt creatures in human guise
that desecrate the name of friend; that make
professions of regard to the face, and afterward,
with unutterable villainy, inflict their stabs in
the back; that win confidence to betray it—ac
cept hospitality to violate it; that propagate
slander even as a cess-pool breeds death and
contagion; retailers of scandal and abuse; vili-
fiers of character and traducers of reputation.
Such creatures as these have no souls, or else
they are so infinitesimal that the All-seeing Eye
cannot descry them. Their hearts, if they have
them, are blacker than the Pandemonium of
Mahomed, and more prolific of evil. They are
festering sores upon the community; they are
blotches upon the face of humanity; they are
libels upon the human race. They are to be
shunned as you would shun the fangs of deadly
serpents; they are the reptiles or society.
The records of Christianity Lave handed
down to us examples of moral heroism wonder
ful in their sublimity and worthy of all admira
tion. In truth, it required heroism of the grand

pressions.
We were now nearing the Florida line, and
had already, during the darkness of the night,
been borne by the speeding train into a strange
land. That we were still in Georgia, we of the
mountains could hardly realize. The cars
rushed onward on a line as straight as an arrow.
For miles behind us, for miles around us, the
country lay on a dead level, broken by rivers,
lakes, and pools of coffee-colored water. The
pines stood like marshalled giants over all the
land; and the bannered moss, the myrtle and
bay, the cypress and magnolia, hung over all
the gleaming waters. We were in a sad and
lonely land. Now and then a farm house, a
saw-mill, a turpentine manufactory, or a cabin,
broke upon our view, and we hailed it as a ship
on a wide sea. \
Saw-mills may be profitable here, but provis
ions are scarce and high; labor the same; and
all the land is covered with water, so that roads
have to be built of timber. Yet I saw some huge
machinery at \voik-'$£»-or twenty saws at one
time; then, at many places, large and valuable
mills were deserted and idle. About fifteen
miles of Jessup, they telegraphed that we were
coming to breakfast; so at 10 a. m., we did full
justice to their nicely prepared viands.
Jessup is a bright, pleasant town. It has been
built but a few years, so it looks quite new; the
timber is so porous and the climate so damp
that a house will decay and fall in ten or fifteen
years, unless it is repaired. At twelve, we left
Jessup and went speeding away through a sun-
bright land. The earth was green with palmet-
toes and grass, the flowers were in bloom, the
dark waters glittered, the turtles lay sunning
on the logs, and the green pine and gray moss
waved against the blue sky; long, bright vistas
stretched miles behind us, and for miles we
could see the white telegraph posts and catch
on either hand the gleam of far away waters.
Gayety and sociability were the order of the day
in our end of the car, which was occupied by a
widower from Kentucky, a young man from
Marietta, a queer German, a fat St. Louis gen
tleman, his wife (a New Yorker), and their son,
who was a pale consumptive, bound, as a last
hope, for the land of balmy airs —a neat, blue
eyed youth that had been in Minnesota, and a
gentleman and his wife from Tennessee. The
gentleman was suffering from hemorrhage of the
lungs; but we all forgot sorrow and foreboding
in the joyous novelty of the hour. When we
passed the Florida line, a shout of triumph was
sent up, pistols were fired, hats and handker
chiefs waved, and I was reminded of the tri
umph of those who, five hundred years ago,
passed into the land of gold and youth. The
only change in the face of the country was that
there were more moss and evergreens.
A few miles of Bowlden, we stopped to wait
for the up train, and through the darkness and
mist we heard a negro blowing reeds. He came
to the cars, and the Minnesota youth called him
in, and much idle conversation was carried on.
A Northern man's ignorance of the negro char
acter is sometimes disgusting to one Southern i
born and bred, as is also their contempt of
Southern customs and manners. We soon had
a telegram that a sleeper was off the track; that
we must come and help get it on. By the
way, all the rail is the T iron; I saw but little
Fish-bar below Macon; and from the Florida
line to Bowlden, some of the rail is not more
than four feet loDg. The railroad is “in law.” I
would advise any one coming here to go out by
Brunswick.
The sleeper could not be moved even with
our help until four in the morning. I walked
half a mile to Bowlden, ordered a bed, and was
soon at rest in the land of flowers; yet I would
have called it the land of fog and pine smoke.
The gayety had faded from my companions,
when, after standing all night, they puffed away
to Jacksonville through damp and darkness at
four in the morning. I left B. at 9 a. m. The
run to Gainesville was not very interesting. The
country was not quite so flat, and seemed to be
more thickly settled. Log-hauling and shipping
seems to be the ohief employment The wheels
of the wagons are a goad deal larger than the
driving wheels of an engine, and the fella and
tire are about a foot wide. The wagon has but
two wheels. Dump-carts, with one mule to
each, which the driver rides, are very fashion
able.
Gainesville has four churches. The court
house is a fine building. Many new buildings
are going up. Land is valued at $100 per acre;
corn is Si.00 per bushel; bacon 121 cents per
pound; beef ditto; pork lac.; potatoes 75 cents j
per bushel; syrup S30 per barrel; eggs 40 cents j
per dozen; butter 40 cents per pound; milk 60 j
cents per gallon; apples, dried, 20 ceats per i
tound; green, 25 cents per dozen.
The soil seems to be productive and easily ;
cultivated: yet the consumption is much greater
than the production. E. C. j
" Etiquette”—Your questions belong to fashion and
fashionable society. With an old and familiar lady friend,
we would not pnil off onr kid gloves, especially if they
were hard to get on. A man’s politeness is not in his
glove, but manner. As to bowing, take off, tip, touch
your hat, or move your hand in recognition. Your hyper
critical or over-fashionable people have nothing else to do
but to think about bows, manners, etc., and if you try to
keep up with such, you will have little else to think about.
True politeness is iu the look, the manner, and last but not
least, the heait. Be naturally, but not fastidiously
polite. The old axiom is true in all kinds of society:
•’He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who
plants kindness gathers love.”
Tom Lucky, of Nashville, wants to know, if a girl re
jects a man becanse he is poor, or unable to support her
in the style she always lived, if afterwards, said man
should fall heir to a nice sum of money, and the young
lady should give him to understand that his suit would re
ceive a favorable consideration, should he again propose,
ought he to renew his suit? . . . Nice question, Tom,
and such cases have happened, and perhaps you may be
another one of those cases. First, if the young lady is
fond of fashion and show, and values position more than
love, we don't know that we would again propose. Sec
ondly, if she is a thoughtful girl, she looks at life as some
thing real, and knows something of the struggles of life,
then that might alter the case. Her love, or judgment, is
based upon after-thoughts or conditions, and it was not
so much for the mere money as the ability to meet the
wants and cares of married life. Asa thoughtful girl, she
would make a thoughtful wife. Thirdly, if you kuow
that it was money the girl wanted, and that men etood
favorable in her eyes only as they were able to laviBh lux
uries npon her, I think I would not go. within cannon-
shot of her.
H. B. P., Palmetto, Ga.—Oiling is perhaps the best
remedy you could adopt. That would keep the leather
backs from breaking, and would also keep the worms off.
In the case of the gentleman and lady, his love was not
very deep, or he would not abandon her for violating a

by the attendant circumstances, and be no donbt would
pardon the offence if she was allowed to explain.

Effects Truly Wunderfal,
Cabtersville, Ga.,‘April 26, 1369.
This jvill certify that two members of my immediate
family, after having suffered for many years from men
strual irregularity, and having been treated without ben
efit by various medical doctors, were at length, com
pletely cured by one bottle of Dr. J. Bradfield's FEMALE
REGULATOR. I therefore deem it my duty to furnish
ihie certificate, with the hope of drawing the attention of
suffering womankind to the merits of a medicine whose
power in curing irregular and suppressed menstruation
has been proven under my own personal observation. Its
effect on such cases is truly wonderful, and well may the
remedy be called “Woman’s Best Friend.”
Yours respectfully,
