Story of a Beadstesd.
It was night.
The boarding house was wrapt in
tenebrous gloom, faintly tinted with an
odor of kerosene.
Suddenly there arose on the air a
yell, followed by objurgations and furi
ous anathemas.
Then there was a clanking and rat
tling, as of an overturned picket fence
and another yell with more anathemas
The fated boarders listened, and ghost
ly clad, tip toed along to Buffum's room,
he of Buffum & Bird, Becond hand
furniture dealers. As there was a
whis,a grinding, a rattling aud a bang
and more yells. They consulted and
knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
“Open it.”
“I can’t.”
Convinced that Buffum was in bis
last agony they knocked in the door
with a bedpost.
The sight was ghastly. Clasped between
two sturdy though slender frames of
walnut, Buffum, pale as a ghost, was six
feet up iu the air. He couldn’t move.
He was caught like a bear in a log
trap.
‘•What on earth is it?” they said.
“Bedstead combination. New patent
I was telling you about.” gasped Buf
fum.
His story was simple, though tearful
He had brought it home that day, and
after using it for a writing desk, bad
opened it out and made his bed. He
was going peacefully to dream land
when he rolled over and accidently
touched a spring. The faithfnl inven
tion immediately became a docuble
crib, and turned Buffum into a squalling
wafer. Then he straggled; and was
reaching around for the spring when
the patent bedstead thought it would
show off some more and straightened
out and shot up in the air and was a
clotheshorse. Buffum said be didn’t
like to be clothes, and be would give
the thing to auybody that would get
him out. They said they would try.
They didn’t want any such fire extin
guisher as that for their trouble but
they would try. They inspected it
cautiously. They walked all around it.
Then the commission merchant laid his
little finger on the top end of it. The
thing snored and reared as if it had
been shot, slapped over with a bang and
became an extension table for ten peo
ple. When they recovered from the
panto they came back. They found the
commission merchant ia the corner,
trying to get breath enough to swear,
while he rubbed his shios. Buffum
had disappeared but they kn<*w he had
not gone far. The invention appeared
to have taken a fancy to him and in-
corrorated him into the firm, ?o to speak.
He was down under neath, straddling
one of the legs, with his head jammed
into the mattreaa. Nobody dared to
touch it. The landlady got a club and
Reached for its vi«al parts, bat couldn’t
find them. She hammered her breath
away and when she got through and
dropped the club in despair the thing
swung oat its arms with a grasp and
a rattle, turned over twice and slapped
itself into a bed again, with Buffum
peacefully among the sheets. He held
his breath for a minuute, and then,
watching bis opportunity, made a flying
leap to the floor just in time to save
himself from being s folding screen.
The New York man, who tried a flying
machine of his own invention, had no ad
vice to give to those who crowded around
him. All be said was : “Work in ‘durs-
ed fori’ somewhere on my tombstone."

Where He Get the Kce.
There was a party of gentlemen the
other day, on a train on one of the roads
coming^ito Nashville, and none of the
party being strictly temperance men one
of the crowd suggested a drink. Anoth
er wanted to know where to get it. All
seemed willing, but the day was warm,
very warm. At least the fourth man
u the party said he had a bottle of fine
'cocktail,” which be would furnish if
anybody would get ice. A fellow
passenge remarked be would do that
if they would share with him. He left
the car and came back with plenty,
which was duly used. As a matter of
course, in a short time another drink
was proposed and the ice man kindly
requested to furnish that necessary ar
ticle to a first-class oocktsil, but, with
his mouth watering for a drink, every
look ooe of longing, he said .* “Gen
tlemen, I want the drink, and could
furnish the ice, but I am afraid if I
take any more the corpse will spoil.”
To say that the crowd felt sick feebly
expresses it, and when they actually
knew that the ice was fnA a corpse,
hey didn’t awear mentally, but openly.

EPTEMBER 7, 1882.
gns Bonds-
a recent date,
seems to de-
Mr- Stephens and
The Atlanta Constitution
In the Dawson Jout
we find the following,
serve attention:
The bogus BgH^N bonds hare been the
theme of discussio^Daconsiderable extent
of late. Surely Mr. Stephens will not favor
the payment of these bonds, and if he
should there is no imminent danger of their
being paid. Did not the new constitution set
tle the question for all time to come. Bat
if it did not, could Mr. Stephen’a views
alter the sentiment of our people on the
question? We think not.
Our contemporary may reat assured that
there is nothing ia the discutsion to which
it allude*. It ir simply on the line of the
peculiarly unjust attacks that were made
upon Mr. Stephens before his nomination,
and that have been continued almost with
out intermission since he has received the
indorsement of the representatives of the
democratic party of Georgia. These at
tacks accomplished nothing before the
convention met, and they are kept np now
by the anti-Stephens men in the state
merely to relieve the monotony of
defeat.
The journal may rest assured that Mr.
Stephens now, as always, represents
thoroughly and completely in his opinions
and bis purposes the poblic sentiment of
the state. But even if it were otherwise,
Mr. Stephens, as governor, will have ne
more control over the bogus bond question
than the chief of the Objibway Indians.
It has been settled finally by a vote of the
people, and their determination haa been
incorporated in the organic law of the state.
It can never be revived in Georgia until
the people themselves choose to revive it.
Its revival will have to be passed upon by
two successive legislatures, and if the legis
latures agree, theu their agreement will
have to be submitted to the people in the
shape of a constitutional amendment. As
a matter of course every reasonaols man
in the state knows that the question is
finally settled so far as the people of
Georgia is concerned.
This fact is well understood by the attor
neys of the holders of the begus bonds
and, as a consequence, they have been
turning their attentiou to hatching a
scheme equally as hopeless, namely, the
adoptiou of an amendment to the federal
constitution providing that states may be
sued. Mr. Stephens ia devoted to the
best interests of Georgia. Apart from a
desire to contribute to the progress of the
state and the prosperity and happiness ot
the people, he has no ambition whatever.
A Gallant Egyptian Pasha*
Sew Orleans States.
That was certainly a very gallant and
well choosen compliment expressed to
Mrs. General Stone, on her departure for
Cairo with her family, by Yaboub Pasha,
when in taking leave of the lady he beg
ged her to tell her husband that the Egypt
ian army would show how greatly it had
profited by the twelve year# instruction it
had received from him, and bow deeply
mortified they were that he had east his
lot with the English.
The Mr* Stone to whom this Beat com
pliment was conveyed is a Louisiana lady,
a native of East Feliciana a step-daughter
of that well known and highly esteemed
citizen so long the Clerk of the District
Court of Feliciana, Mr. Frank Hardesty,
and a sister ot that gallant genllemau
Col. John H. Stone, of East Feliciana.
Miss Stone was a remarkably accomplish
ed and an elegant lady. Daring our civil
war she was an earnest and enthusiatsic
sympathizer with the Confederates.
Towards the close of the war she acci
dentally formed the acquaintance of Gen.
Stone, of the Federal army, and became
enlisted in his personal grievances, to
which he was subjected by his bitter
enemies and rivals in the Federal service
as well as by his magnanimous bearing to
wards the Southern people. On the estab
lishment of peace she married lien. Stone
and proceeded with him to Egypt when Le
was cailed to that country by the late
Khedive, and commissioned as chief of
staff of the .Egyptian army.
They have ever since resided in Cairo
have several children born in Egypt and
have managed to secare the profoandest
respect and confidence of the Egyptian
people* In her frequent letters l* rela
tives in this State. Mrs. Stone alwsys
expresses her great contenpt with her
snrroundings, her high regard for the
Egyptian people, and her strong resent
ment against their European oppressor*
and wrongdoers.
A lady wrote to a fashion paper to
know wbat the style of bathing suits for
small boys would be at the seashore, and
received a reply that this season the bath
ing suits for boys were very simple, consist-,
ing of a wad of cotton in each ear. The
lady will add to this suit a red Yam string
around her boy's neck and let him go
loose.
Projected Massacre.
In Choctaw county, Ala., on the 15th,
a bundle of paper*, disclosing a well organ
ised plot among the negroes to kill the
entire white population of that county, was
found near one of their rendezvous, by two
gentlemeH. The matter was laid before
the solicitor on the iCth. A qniot meet
ing of the citizens of Mt. Sterling and
Butler was called at Butler, to consider
the best mode of suppressing the intended
outbreak and massacre. After adiscuss-
■ioo it was agreed that the following ring
leaders : Jade Turner, F. D. . arney, Jes-
see Wilson, Peter Hill, Willis Lyeo, Aaron
Scott and Range West, to whom had been
assigned the duty of leading squads to
Bulter, Mt. Sterling, Desotovilleand other
places, and killing all the whites at each
place, should be arrested and lodged in
jaiL Their arrests was effected on 17th,
without disturbance or blood shed. On
the same day a mass meeting of citizens
of mil classes was called for Saturday to
decide the fate of the prisoners. The
plot hss been in existence since 1878, aDd
the conspirators now number 400. They
hare powder, shot and guns. They think
themselves sufficiently stroug to accomplish
their fiudisb designg Sunday night thel7th
of September, had been appointed as the
date far its consummation. The papers
lurther showed that this day was selected
because then the white people would be
at camp meeting unarmed, and could offer
no resistance.
The meeting called for Saturday brought
together about 700 men, of w*iom about
150 were negroes, who, bearing the nepers
read, decided almost by a uuanimous vote,
that Jack Turner was a dangerous ana
turbulent character, a regular fire-braDd in
the community, and that the public safety
demanded his immediate death. He was
accordingly hung about 1:15 p. m., in the
presence of the ssseaibled multitude. The
crowd dispersed, and all signs of disturd-
ance ceased. The other prisoners are in
jail to await farther developments.
Brought teTIme.
A young man oo a street in Steuben
ville with a fuz cap, n fragile came, and
smoking a vile cigarette wliieh awakened
a suspicion in the minds of the ueibbbors
that a dead male was in the immediate
riciuity, stepped off the sidewalk to aUow
n lady to pass.
“Thank you,” she said.
“Not at all, madam; I assure you 1 al
ways give way to the weaker sex.”
The lady slowed up when she heard
this, and came back to the yonng man.
“What did you observe sir?”
“I said (smile forced) that I always gave
way to the weaker Bex.”
“Ah, did you,” pursued the woman,
grabbing him with a firm hand by the
tbroat-la'ch. “Do you know who you are
(shake) calling the (shake, shake) weaker
sex?”
“I—ngh--that is, I—meant to say—
you hurt my neck—politeness is constitu
tional in our—ouch—faintly.”
“11s, Well (shake, shakejihake)
if you think I’m (shake, shake, shake,
shake) one of the weaker sex you are off
your reckoning.”
Here she gave the young man a dex
trous flip which span him three times
arouud, after which he fell nnder a fence,
while his cane and fuz cap flew over into
a bed of last year’s hollyhocks.
“Now after this, remember, young man,
you can’t play no weak-eex game on me.
I propose to vote before that dyspeptic
looking mustache of yourn bas more than
seven hairs on aide and nine on the
other.”

A beer undertook to break into a Wis

it was her husband coming borne late.

running in nine miles. If the woman bad
known it was a bear, and not her husband
she would probably have fainted and been
devoured, and her husband says he wishes
it had happened that way.
A Trying Ordeal.
Black’s Milwaukee Sou says: "A
woman of Bay City, Michigan, disguis
ed fcerself as a man and clerked m a
store for a year, and then applied for
membership in the Knights of Pythias
and was innitiated. During the work
of the third degree her sex was dis
covered. It seems that in the third
degree they have an indis rubber rat
aud a celluloid snake; which were na
tural indeed. They let them run at
the candidates to see if they will flinch
When the snake ran out at tbe girl she
kept her nerve all right, but when the
rat tried to run op her trowBera leg
she grabbed her imaginary skirts in
both hands and jumped upon the re*
frigerstor standing near (which is used
in the work of fourth degree) and scream
ed bloody murder. The girl is a mem
ber of the Order, however, and there
is no help for it. The affair may open
the eyes of secret societies and cause
them to investigate. One Lodge here
we understand, takes precaotion against
the admission of women by carefully
examing the feet of applicants. If the
feet are cold enough to freeze iee cream
the candidate is blackballed.”

Pretectiag Passengers.
Sew York Sun.
A practical railroad man informs the
New York Sun that before long every
engine drawing a passenger train will
have a pilot; hit place will be forward
the engine or above the present cab—
with which he will have a signal con
nection ; and his business will be sim
ply to watch everything on or near tbe
track and quickly signal any dangers
to the engineer. This ia a move in the
right direction ; tho engineer and fire
man are already required to do all that
should be expected of them and while
attending to the insatiate monster that
constantly demands fuel, water, oil or
some other attention, they cannot be
expected to see everything that is on
ahead of them. But the change should
be even more marked than ia contem
plated in the foregoing suggestion: the
pilot ought to outrank in authority of
the present conductor and ongineer,
and he alone ought to be responsible
for the train leaviog tbe conductor to
look after the pasengers solely, and the
engineer to manage his engins under
the orders of the pilot.

Purfey’s Despair.
The ether morning Mattriok Purfey,
cp on Clay street, left his pocketbook
nnder tbe pillow when he started for
the office. As it contained $500, Mra.
P. returned it to him that night with a
few caustic remarks on bis carelessness.
The next day it was the same thing,
and the careless man’s wife accused
him of losing his mind. All went well
after that until day before yesterday,
when the pocketbook was found by the
chambermaid for t$e third time. The
disgusted Mrs. P. determined to teach
her better half a lesson. So, when ahe
saw him coming that evening, she
pinned a note to the bureau stating
that she had eloped, taking the money
with her, and hid in the closet to enjoy
Purfey’s despair.
Mr. P. walked directly up to the
note and began reading it. Instead of
indulging in a wild shriek of dismay,
however, he merely smiled affable, and
said :
“At last, eh f I began to think
she’d never take the hint.”
There is gloom in the Purfey man
sion just now, and although Mr. P.
insists that ha was only keeping np
the joke, it will be long before time
removes the solemnity from his brow or
the dents of the rolling-pin from the
back of his head.—Derrick Dodd.
