THE SUNNY SOUTH.
A ST0RY_0F GOUGH.
Ilia Experience With a Bore.
[From John B Gough's new Book, “Sun
light and Shadow. ’1
There is a class of bores that are almost un
endurable, that are self-sufficient, confident,
obtrusive, and annoying. They will call up
on you and insist upon an interview. Per
haps, having set yourself at a task for the
day, you are interrupted by some vexatious
persons, who will hiuder you in your work,
taking up your valuable time with hie absurd
ities. Patroniz ng in his demeanor, he seems
to feel that be is conferring a great favor by
detaining you from important avocations.
S) exacting is he in his demands upon your
time, that to get rid of him you must be guil
ty of positive rudeness
I remember one ins’ance among many. 1
was quietly reading, one summer day, under
the trees, when the servant announced that a
gentleman wished to see me,
‘•Who is he?”
‘ I don’t know.”
“Did he give his name?”
“No, sir.
“Where is he?”
“At the front door in a buggy,”
So hoping be would not keep me long, I
went to the front door; there sat a young
man in an open buggy.
“How do ye do, Gough?”
“How do you uo, sir/’
“Don’t know me?”
“No, sir.”
“Don’t know me? Look at me.”
I looked at him.
“Now don’t you know me?”
“No, sir; I do not recollect you?”
“Why, you stopped at my father’s house
onc», when 1 was a boy. Know my father?”
“No.”
“Don’t know my fatheT? Well, I do. Ha,
ha! that’s a joke. Well, how do you do? I
got a buggy in Worcester, and drove out
here on purpose to see you.”
“Will you walk in? I will see that your
horse is hitched.”
He walked with me into the parlor.
I have a framed pictnre near the door, en
titled “The Return from the Deer-Scalking:”
a woman is rowing a boat across the loch,
while a gentleman in a hunting cap and
dress is in the stern.
When be saw it, he said:
“Ah, a picture!” holding his half closed
hand to his eyes to get a good sight- “That’s
a good picture. Q ieen Victoria and Prince
Albert, I suppose?”
I said. “Hardly! Queen Victoria would
not very likely row a boat across the loch.”
“Ah, I dare say; but you've been to Eng
land and it struck me that was the queen.”
Turning to another picture called “Lang-
dale Pikes,” he said,—going through the
same motions with his hand,—“Ah, a very
pretty farm scene.”
I said, “That is not a farm scene; that is a
view of Langdale Pikes in Cumberland.”
“Yes Well, I see some cows there, and
didn’t know but it was an English farm
scene, Been to England, you know. By the
way, I want to see your library.”
I took him into the room
As he walked around, he said: “What a
lot of books! Here’s where you cook up your
lectures, eh? read ’em all?”
And so he went round the room, talking
nonsense, till be came to the two volumes of
the History of British Guiana.
“Oh, there, I knew you were a practical
man! I like practical men. You are a
farmer, and here’s the book! I see you are
practical.”
I said, “what has that book to do with
farming?”
“Why, don’t yon see, the History of Brit-
i ib Guano? That’s practical—learn it’s his
tory before you use it!”
And so for three mortal hours did that gen
tleman nearly drive me wild.
A circumstance occurred some years after,
in connection with this visit, and I give it as
a sequel. It is so ridiculously absurd that
one can scarcely believe it to be possible, but
I record the simple fact I give no names;
and if the individual should happen to read
this, he would not probably recognise the
picture as any representation of himself. I
was stopping in the hotel of the town where
I was to lecture that evening when this gen
tleman called, who said he had come to town
to hear my lecture. We chatted a while, and
he left me. While I was speaking, I saw
him in the audience. Soon 1 came to a point
where 1 needed an illustration of the stolidity
or stupidity of a regular bore, when the idea
seized me—“Why not use this gentleman’s
visit at my house? Ah. it would be too bare
faced.” The temptation grew on me, and as
I was speaking 1 argued the point. “I do
not believe he will take, yet it will hardly
do.” Still 1 seemed to be seized with an al
most irresistable desire to use the circum
stance of his visit. Perhaps it was impudent,
but 1 did it. As 1 looked on his face, and re
membered him at my bouse, the risk of his
taking it grew less, and I told the whole
story through. He seemed to enjoy it, for
he laughed when others laughed. After the
lecture was over, he called on me at the ho
tel. Now, 1 thought, I shall catch it; but, to
my utter surprise, he said:
“Well, Gough, I enjoyed your lecture first-
rate; but the best part of the whole was
about that man who called on you; for don’t
you rememember I called at your house once,
and I remember your library and pictures.
It was first-rate.”
It is almost past belief that any man should
be so obtuse, but so it was.
mow BAM SOLOS FIRED A 6VS.
OoL Solon’s boy Sam traded off his
fellow dog to Jem Jenkins tor the lat
ter's old army musket Sam had never
fired a gun, but he had a notion how it
should be done. His father had half a
pound of powder in the house, which
Bam poured down the muzzle, then
jammed down a whole newspaper, and
filled the remaining space with chunks
of lead which he cut from the lead pipe
in the kitchen with the butcher knife.
The cap was put in place, and, armed
with this Czar destroyer, the boy went
forth in search of adventures. Upon the
roof of an adjoining house were a flock of
doves, and Sam rested his gun over the
fence, pointed the muzzle in their direc
tion, and, saying to himself, "They
won’t know what hit ’em," shut both
eyes and pulled the trigger.
For about half a minute that neigh
borhood was so filled with feathers,
noise, chunks of doves’ meat, pieces of
wood, boya’ yells and women’s shrieks
that the people thought there had been
a collision on the circus train and the
elephant was taking out an old grudge
on the lions. Sam laid flat on his back,
with the gun a rod behind him *nd still
shivering from the concussion. Half of
Barn’s face was black and blue, and he
didn’t dare to get up until he was sure
the gun had got all shot off, and even
then ha wasn’t certain that more than
half the load had gone out. And tuose
doves! Why two dozen had been par
alyzed, and the top of that house looked
as if a shell had burst in the attic and
blown a feather bed with a servant girl
up through the roof. There wasn’t
enough left of the doves to distinguish a
fan-tail from a bull-terrier, and the peo
ple in the neighborhood are preparing
to move away unless Sam is sent iinto
the oountry.—Derrick.

gather in the com, and it will soon cease to
be worth gathering. The situation of our
farmers is dismal. For many of them a bad
harvest must mean absolute min. Farming
is a highly skilled enterprise, and if the pres
ent race of farmers succumb and are driven
nut of their business there will be no others
capable of succeeding them.”
A Nit. Ida Romance.
Mount Ida, Towa, has lately been the scene
of a little drama in real life worthy to be
chronicled, since it illustrates a quality of
which we are wont to be skeptical—mascu
line constancy in love. A pretty girl,
wrought upon by pity and the persuasions of
her grandmother, consented to marry a
crippled young man while her love was given
ro another. The forsaken lover made a vow
never to marry. Rejecting several good
business offers, he followed the married pair
to Mount Ida, where they took up their
abode. Heie he watched over the woman
be loved at a distance. Failure and poverty
overtook the husband; the wife was forced
to support him and herself by working in a
knitting factory. Then the husband fell ill;
delicacies and medicine came to him from an
unknown source; provisions dropped down
in the night at the door inside of which the
young wife watched faithfully beside her dy
ing husband. At length he died; the same
unknown friend attended to his burial and
paid its costs. After the edge of grief had
worn away, the young woman learned who
had been the masked Samaritan in her hour
of need. An interview was begged and
granted, and now there is a probability that
this rare man’s constancy will be rewarded.
Origin of Some Odd Expressions
Out in the cold.—An expression frequently
applied in the United States and England to
persons who have been driven out of office or
bave not obtained the appointments they had
desired and solicited. It is nearly a century
old and was one of the sayings of P. H. B,
Wyndhim in 1784
Castles in the air—Used by Robert Burton
in his “Anatomy of Melancholy,” over two
hundred and fifty years ago. and since used
by Dean Swift, Henry Fielding, Philip Syd
ney. Colley Cibber, Caarles Churchill, Wil
liam Shenstone and innumerable others,until
it has become a very common expression.
Dead as a Door Nail.—Taken from the door
nail, the nail on which, in old doors, the
knocker strikes, and therefore used as a com
parison to any one irrevocably dead; one
who has fallen (as Virgil says) multa morta;
1. e., with abundant death, such as reitera
tion of strokes on the bead naturally produce.
“Charles, dear,” she murmured, as they
strolled along the other evening and gazed
upward at the bejewelled firmament, “which

The Shameless (hewer
“Come heah, George Washington, you
black ape,” exclaimed Rev. Aminibab Bled
soe, of the Austin Blue Light Colored Taber
nacle, to a Sunday-school scholar who had
just removed a big wad of something or other
from his mouth. The boys trembling limbs
carried him to the immediate presence of the
irate shepherd.
“Y9r was chawin terbacker in de house ob
da Lawd.”
“1 owns right up, parson. I was chawin
terbacker, but I wont do so no moah.”
‘ George Washington, chawin terbacker
am bad enough, Lawd knows; but when yer
has got so shameless yer don’t eben try to lie

you won’t grow up to disgrace de fodder ob

And for about ten minutes people living

A Tobacco-Chewing Horse.
It is often claimed by enthusiastic reform
ers that the tobacco-chewing habit indulged
by men is too vile to be practiced by beasts,
no known animal ever having yet placed to
bacco chewing among its bad habits. A
Norwich horse has essayed to put a stop to
this sort of talk by forming the tobacco-
chewing habit. The animal loves the weed,
and not only teases his owner for the stuff,
but noses about the pockets of people who
come near him to see if he can get the odor,
when he at once begins to manifest his desire
for a chew. Upon presentation of a plug, he
will take a chew that would surprise a mar
iner, but with all his rolling of the dainty
morsel beneath his tongue, he never yet has
learned to squirt the juice or to hang out his
sign on his lips. He chews clean, and can
give old tobacco chewers points.
Couldn't Trust it a Second Time.
He attended a meeting where an attempt
was being made to lift the debt of the church.
After a great deal of earnest exhortation to
give he began to get mildly excited over the
matter, and when the minister declared that
every one who gave would find that the
Lord would pay him back a hundred fold he
concluded to close with the bargain, and at
once subscribed a handsome sum. “And,”
said he some weeks afterward, “the scripture
promise is financially a good one, for since I
gave tuat money to the church a man came
into my office and paid a large debt which I
had long since given up as lost. Yes, the
promise is a good one, but”—and here he hes
itated for a a few moments—“but I tell you
want it is, I don’t think I dare trust it a sec
ond time.”
A Polite People.
The city of Lucknow, India, is renowned
for the politeness of its people. A corres
pondent, writing from the spot, gives a ludi
crous illustration of the extent to which the
natives carry their ideas of courtesy. Two
native gentlemen, on their way to the rail
way station, accidentally fell into a ditch.
One would suppose that both would have
been on their feet in a twinkling; but no, the
law of politeness interfered, and one said to
the other: “ When your Honor, rises then I
may get up.” ‘ No, your Honor should get
up first,” replied the other. “Never; how
could I take precedence of your Honor?” and
thus the contest went on for an hour, it is
said, because neither gentleman would con
sent to violate the laws of good breeding.
Would Ton?
“Henry,” said his wife, with chilling se
verity, “I saw you coming out of a saloon
this afternoon.” “Well, my darling,” repli
ed the heartless man, ‘You wouldn’t have
your husband stay in a saloon all day, would
you?”
Greatest Charge.
“What is the greatest charge on record?”
asked the professor of history. And the ab

down the window, slammed on his clothes,
and profanely jogged over to the desired lo

Mr. Muggs loved his wife but like John
Gilpin he had a frugal mind. When his
Sarah Jane died he ordered a tombstone in

her “Requiscat In Pace” engraved upon it.
But when reason asserted her sway and he
began to count the cost—each letter of the
inscription coming to so much, he wrote and
ordered the engraver to put only the initial
letters of the Latin inscription. And now
he wonders why people smile when they read

“Will you accept a tract, young man?’
asked an elderly lady. “Well, ma’am,” re
plied the young man pleasantly, “if it’s a
good, large tract, in an elegible situation,
graded and improved,five minutes walk from
the horse cars, churches, schools, etc., thank
von, I don’t care if I do. I’m a stranger in
Boston, ma’am; often heard of your unbound
ed hospipality, liberality, and that sort of
thing; but. bless me! I never had an idea of
this kind.” She simply remarked: “Poor
young man, how little you know us Boston
people.’
The other day some kind-hearted ladies
who have been caring for a poor sick widow,
on making their usual daily visit, took with
them a wood-seat rocking chair that it was
thought would aid in making the old lady
comfortable when she could sit up, “See,”
said one of the ladies, “see, Aunty Brown,
see what the good Lord has sent yGu.” The
old lady turned over, gave one look at the
chair and remarked: “Yes, 1 see; but he
hasn’t sent me any cushions.”
I can’t think that sinners will be lost,” said

A Swordfish in Lake Huron,
There is a fi-h curiosity at Port Huron. It
was caught in Lake Huron in a drag net with
a quantity of sturgeon. This peculiar fish
measures over five feet in length, and weighs
two hundred pounds. The body resembles
that of a sturgeon, and its mouth is very
much like that of a codfish, and is large
enough to take in a man’s head. It has a
sword over a foot in length, which is three
inches wide at the place where it is joined at
the head, and about an inch at the point. It
is a deep water fish, but got into shallow wa
ter, where it mixed with the sturgeon and
was caught. Od fishermen say that they
have never seen anything like it.
