Ob, the apple pie is a very good pie,
A rcry nice pie, indeed;
And some there aro who say to mo,
“Of all It takes the lead.”
And the mince pie, too, is a very good pie,
As good as good can be,
If the crust is crisp and brown enough,
And the raisins—one—two—three.
And the pumpkin pie is a very nice pic,
For now and then, you know;
If it’s well made ’tia fairly good—
As squash and pumpkin go.
And the cherry pie is a very nice pie,
Of fruit so tart and rod;
And many a child will call this pie
Of every sort ahead,
But the greatest pics in all the land,
If you will listen to me.
Are the dear sand pics the childrcu make
In the summer by the sea.

'Nancy, I’ve been thinking” said Josh
HiKKins to his wife, arousing from a deep
meditation.
‘Well, Josh,’she responded in an in
quiring tone, without looking up from
her work of putting an immense patch
on a pair of jeans pants.
‘l’ve been a thinkm’ as how our boy
Tim is oncomiuon peart for a leetle chap,’
continued the father, in an Important
manner.
‘Of course, he’s peart as a cricket.
Who ses he aint?’ spoke up the mother,
emphatically.
‘Nobody hain’tsed nothin’ ’about him.
I was jest a thinkm’ as how him being
all that’s left outt’n live likely boys’ that
it do seem like we orto give him a lettle
bettor chance in the worl’ than we could
ef they’d all a’ lived.’
‘That’s so, Josh.’
'Well, now, Nancy, it’pears to me as
how that boy must have a eddication. I
never was no scholard myself no mor’n
you, but I reckon Josh Higgins Is got as
good a ranch as you’ll find in these parts,
an’ he can a’ford to give his boy a even
chance, an’ so on the hull, Nancy, what
do you say to movin’ to town for a spell
an’ letfiu’ the leetle shaver go to one o’
them big rook school houses, whar
schoolin’don’t cost nothin’? ’Twouldn’t
s’prise me if Tim was to be President o’
the United States sum o’ these davs.’
‘Me mither, Josh. I’m agreeable to
goin’. The crops is good, an’ the hired
man can ’ten’ to things for a spell, an’ I
don't in the way o’ goin’ to
say it do cost a pow’ful
hetfc o’ meney to reut a house,’ and
there was a little note of anxiety in Nan
cy’s voice.
‘Never you min’ ’bout that ole iady,’
responded her ‘better-half,’ giving his
pocket a vigorous slap. ‘Josh’s got some
shiners in here au’ more whar these cum

settled and waiting for the first day of
school to open the doors of the large,
handsome building which excited their
admiration and constituted the Mecca of
all their hopes.
They long looked-for morning arrived,
and after Tim had donned his new jeans
pants, a clean white cotton shirt, and had
his hair well plastered down hy his moth
er’s loving hand, and his face well polish
ed by an application of strong soap and a
coarse towel, he started off, hand in hand
with his father, who looked the pride he
felt as being the father of a prospective
President.
Under his arm Tim carried the vener
able spelling book which had done his
father good service, and was somewhat
the worse for age and sundry nibbles
given its corners in its young days.
However, Tim looked upon it as a
great acquisition into whose mysteries he
would soon be initiated.
‘Wall, sonny,’ inquired the proud fath
er, as Tim came home at the close of his
first day at school, ‘how much did you
lam to-day?’
‘Oh, dad, I had such a good time to
day,’ said Tim enthusiastically. ‘Teach
er put me to set with a feller what called
me ‘eottontop,’ and I jest everlastin’ly
licked him.’
‘Oliip off’n the ole block, Nancy,’ said
Josh to his wife, with a chuckle. ‘So
you stood up ter him, sonny. That’s the
way. Don’t you let none o’ these town
chaps come it over you. But how many
lessons did you say,’ returning to his first
anxiety.
‘Lessons! we don’t say lessons to our
school,’ answered Tiui.
‘Don’t say no lessons!’ echoed his
father in astonishment.
‘Now look here, Tim Higgins, I’ve
never caught you in no lies afore, an’ I
don’t want you to begin that trade the
fust thing arter yer git to town. Re
member your dad is a elder in Cherry
Creek Church, an’s got a c’aracter to
keep up, an’ don’t ’ten’ to have a boy o’
his’n brung up to tell lies. Now, what
fer do folks go to school, ef ithaint to say
lessons?’
‘’Clare to goodness, dad, we never said
no lessons. The man just tuk our names i
down in a big book, an’ give us some
white stuff he said was chalk and let us
mark on the wall where ’twas black.
He said I must bring a slate and pencil
in the mornin’.*
‘An’ you never said no lesson in that
spellin’book you tuk along?’ questioned
the father, still somewhat suspicious that
he was being deceived.
‘Nary one,’ said Tim, emphatically.
‘Wall, I s’pose it takes right sharp
times to git all the youngsters fixed, so’s
I reckon, that’ll ’low for sayiu’ no lessons
to-day,’ said Josh, turning to his wife in
rather an apologetic manner.
He felt that he was responsible for the
move to town, and he was anxious to see
the fruits of it right away.
‘Wall, now my boy,’ he said to Tim at
the close of the second day,‘what you
done to-day?’
‘Made cats,’ was Tim answer.
'Made what!’
‘Cats.’
‘Nancy,’ said. Josh, going into the kit
chen where bis wife was busy preparing
to get supper, ‘Nancy, hev you noticed
anything wrong with our Tim up here?’
tapping bis forehead.
‘Why, Josb Higgins, that I should live
to see the day as you’d say as much ’bout
yer own flesh an’ blood,’ said Nancy in
dignantly.
•Wall, now Nancy, that boy tells a
pow’ful curious tale ’bout what he done
at school, au’ I can’t make head nor tail
to it. Come here, Tim ! Now, sir, didn’t
you tell yer dad just now as how you
done nothin’ but make cats to-day?’
‘That’s what teacher showed us, and,
CARTERSVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1885.
oh, dad, I made the biggest, funniest cat
you ever seed. Lenime show you,’ and
bringing his slate, Tim proceeded to
show off his skill with considerable
pride.
The parents looked at each other and
then at their boy in silent wonder. To
be sure, he had made a pretty good re
presentation of a caf, ‘but what’s the use
in makin’ cats, I want ter know ?’ said
the puzzled father.
‘Le’sgo slow, Josh,’ was his wife’s ad
vice. ‘Mebbe they haint got ter runn in
yit, an’ they does this to keep the shavers
still like.’
‘Mebbe so,’ answered Josh, in a doubt
ful tone, ‘but I’m goin’ ter ax the feller’
what’s the boss o’ the hull shebang, in
the mornin 1 ’bout it. Josh Higgins haint
a bird to be caught with chaff, an’ he’s
goin’ ter see into this here bizness, I tell
you.’
‘Well, inquired his wife, seriously, as
he returned from the schoolhouse next
morning: ‘What did the man say?’
‘He sed a hull lot ’bout ‘old foggies’
an’ talked ’bout the ‘word system’ an’
sed ’twas the ‘new eddication’ answered
Josh in a puzzled manner; ‘an I’ll be
blamed, thar now, I most forgot I was a
elder in the church, but ’twas much as I
could do to keep from telliu’ that feller a
piece o’ my min’ ’bout his foolishness,
but I’m a peaceable man, an’ I ’lowed
I’d let the thing alone fer a week or two
an’ just keep my eye open.’
Two weeks passed, during which Tim
made big cats and little cats, and an
nounced that he had been promoted to a
higher class and had made the man in
the moon.
‘Haint you sed no lessons in that spell
in’ book yit ?’ asked his father.
‘Haint’ sed no lesson in eny book,’
Tim replied.
‘An’ you can’t read ‘she fed the ole
hen’ yit?’
‘Don’t know nothin’ ’bout no hen.’
‘What do you do then?’
‘I marks on my slate—makes houses
an’ everything. Oh, dad, that big cat
teacher made the fust day is on the black
board yit.’
‘Nancy,’ said Josh solemnly to his
wife, ‘can you pack up by in the morn
in’? I’m going to clar out o’ this. I
brung that boy ter town to larn to read
an’ spell, not ter make cats, an’ I ’low
he’d be in better bizness at home, diggin’
pertaters.’
Nancy evidently succeeded in packing
up, for early the next morning the ox
team carried back the same load it had
brought in two weeks before, and by an
other day the future President was in
the potato patch, and the spelling-book
consigned to the shelf, where it had lain
undisturbed for so long.
During the next lew weeks the farmer
might have bepn often heard to mutter to
himself, ‘the new eddication—humph!
the new fiddlesticks.’

City Hall park as he approached a settee
which was entirely occupied: “I am
very tired. Will one of you be kind
enough to get up and give me a seat?”
No one moved, but all gazed at the

“Gentlemen,” pleaded the vagrant,

Suddenly the seven men on the settee

GEN. GRANT’S HONOR.
How he Stood Between Johnson and the
Southern People.
New York, Oct. 20—Hon. Chauncey
M. Depew has furnished the press the
following open letter to Col. Fred D.
Grant:
New York, Oct. 12,1885.
Mr Dear Colonel: In answer to
your request for particulars of the con
versation I had with your father, and to
which I alluded in a speech before the
Chamber of Commerce, the following is
my best recollection:
About four years ago I sat beside Gen.
Grant at dinner. There were many
courses slowly served, and the enter
tainment lasted several "hours. We dis
cussed many matters suggested by his
travels around the world, and among
other things he said to me, that when in
China, Prince Kung, who was the re
gent and real ruler during the minority
of the Emperor, told him of their con
troversy with Japan.
ASKED TO ARBITRATE.
War was about to be declared, and the
Prince thought it would be a long and
bloody one, and asked Gen. Grant if he
would act as arbitrator. The general
declined for want of time, but princi
pally because he was a private person
and had no power to enforce his decis
ion. He suggested, however, terms of a
compromise. When in Japan shortly af
ter the Misado’s ministers told their side
of the trouble and revealed the fact that
several European governments were act
ively stirring up strife on both sides hop
ing to benefit by a war. The same re
quest was made to him on the part of
the Japanese government to act as arbi
trator. In again declining he stated
the substance of the compromise he had
advised for China. The two nations
adopted substantially the terms proposed
by Gen. Grant, and a disastrous conflict
was averted.
GRANT AND JOHNSON.
The conversation drifted into consider
ation of his relations with President An
drew Johnson. The narrative of this
period was one of the most graphic de
scriptions to which I ever listened, and
it is unfortunate for history and posteri
ty that it cannot be preserved as it was
told. It had a local coloring of conver
sations with statements by the chief act
ors and of situations of parties and per
sons as the events occurred invaluable as
a portraiture and estimate of the times.
I said in my address that Gen. Grant
performed services to the country which
were unwritten, but quite as important
as any that were recorded, and think
this narrative will bear me out.
JOHNSON’S BITTERNESS.
This is the substance of the story:
President Johnson began the day after
the assassination of President Lincoln to
loudly proclaim, at all times and places,
with constant reiteration, the shibboleth
“treason is odious and must ha punish
ed, and the chief rebels shall be hung.”
To give effect to this sentiment, as soon
as he was inaugurated he insisted upon
the United States courts in Virginia find
ing indictments against all the leading
members of the Confederacy. He also
wanted all officers in the rebel army who
had left the regular army to join the
rebel army, to be summarily dealt with
by court martial. These movements of
the president produced the greatest con
sternation throughout the South. The
Confederate leaders appealed to Gen.
Grant to protect them on the parole he
had given.
NO SENSE OF HONOR.
He saw President Johnson on the sub
ject, only to be informed that the Presi
dent was, by the constitution, the com
mander-in-chief of the army, and that
anything done by the commanding gen
eral on the field was done subj'ect to his
approval or rejection, and he rejected
the terms. Gen. Grant urged that the
rebels had surrendered on these condi
tions, disbanded their organizations, sub
mitted universally to the situation, and
were carrying out in good faith their
part of the agreement, and every consid
eration, both of honor and expediency,
demanded equal good faith on the part of
the government. The other course would
have led to endless guerrilla Warfare,
conducted in a country admirably adapt
ed for it by desperate and hopeless men.
President Johnson obstinately adhered
to his view, and assumed the authority
of commander when Gen. Grant flatly
told him that if there were to he any
courts-martial one must be called for
Gen. Grant first, that he would by every
means in his power protect his parole
and appeal to Congress and the country.
In the halt called by this attitude of Gen.
Grant a very remarkable change occur
red in the views and policy of President
Johnson. Gen. Grant discovered that
the most frequent and favr>red visitors to
the White House were neA whom the
President had
al’s opinion President J ohnson’s loyalty
was subordinate to, if not entirely de
pendent upon, his intense hatred of the
slave-holding oligarcl ly. He was a poor
white, had been a journeyman tailor,
and notwithstanding; the distinguished
public positions he had held he could not
break through the class barrier, and was
treated socially with contempt by this
proud aristocracy.
JOHNSON’S AMBITION.
When they plunged into the rebellion
he saw his opportunity. He believed in
the power of the government, and he
thought the time had come when he
could defeat his enemies*, confiscate their
property, humiliate theiix pride, and pos
sibly destroy shem. TI le absorbing am
bition and passion of his life had been to
be received and treated, as one of them
by the oligarchy. Having failed in that,
and suffered insult and indignity in the
effort, he became tba of
men. He saw them foiled in their re
bellion, defeated and impoverished, and
now he wanted to kill them. While he
was devising means to overcome Gen.
Grant’s resistance to this last purpose,
the leaders of the old feudalism called on
him.
FLATTERED INTO FRIENDSHIP.
They admitted their former treatment
of him and justified it. They said that
in all ages and countries where cast dis
tinction existed conditions were always
possible which promoted men who had
achieved success from the lower into the
noble order. As President of the United
States he became, regardless of birth or
ancestry, not only a member of their or
der, but its leader. Johnson was wild
with delight; ambition and pride were
both satisfied. He became as anxious to
sustain and perpetuate in some form a
system which had given the highest so
cial and political distinction to a s few
great families as he had been to destroy
it. Gen. Grant did not have long to
wait for the formulation of his plan. The
President sent for him, and said that
radical measures by Congress were revo
lutionary, and would destroy the coun
try. The war was over and the republic
wanted peace, and that was possible
only by a union of all sections.
JOHNSON’S PROGRAMME.
The provisional governments provided
for the seceded States were temporary
expedients without constitutional au
thority, and the States had all the rights
and should possess all the powers they
had before the war. He had perfected a
scheme to accomplish itt result, and,
with Gen. Grant’s assistance, its success'
was assured. He could by proclamation
direct the rebel States to send to Wash
ington their full quota of senators and
representatives. He had assurance from
enough members from the North, who,
united with them, would make a quorum
of one House at least, if not of both. The
Congress thus formed he would recog
nize and install at the capital. If other
Northern members did not choose to
join thev would be a powerless rump
meeting in some hall. To the general’s
suggestion that this would start the civil
war afresh, the President replied:
“They who do it will be the rebels,
but if you sustain me, resistance is im
possible.”
GRANT’S BOLD STAND.
He appealed to Gen. Grant to stand by
him in the crisis, and they would be the
saviors of the republic. After endeavor
ing for a long time in vain to convince
the President of the folly of such a
course and its certain failure, no matter
who sustained it, Grant finally told him
he would drive the Congress out of the
capitol at the point of the bayonet, give
possession of the building to the senators
and representatives from the loyal States
and protect them. If necessary he would
appeal to the country and to the army he
had so recently mustered out of service.
President Johnson asked him if he did
not recognize the powers vested in the
President by the constitution, and if he
would refuse to obey the commander-in
chief. Gen. Grant said that under such
circumstances he most certainly would.
AN EFFORT TO SEND GRANT TO MEXICO.
Shortly afterward the President sent
for Gen. Grant, and said to him that the
relations ol our government with Mexico
were very delicate, and then wished him
to go to the City of Mexico at once on a
very important mission. Gen. Grant
knew that this was to get him out of the
way, and put it in the power of the Pre
sident to call as his successor to Washing
ton some officer upon whom he could re
ly. He replied that if the appointment
Was a diplomatic one he declined it. If
it was a military one, he refused to obey
because the General of the army could
not be ordered to a foreign country with
which we are at peace. The interview
was a stormy one, but the subject was
dropped.
sherman’s stand.
One day Gen. Grant was sent West on
a tour of inspection. He knew Gen.
Sherman was to be his successor, and in
him he had absolute confidence. The
outspoken loyalty of that great soldier
prevented the project ever being renew
ed. It is at this date needless to specu
late upon what might have happened
had Gen. Grant actively assisted or pas
sively obeyed the President. No one
doubts the courage and obstinacy of An
drew Johnson, and only a man of equal
firmness and determination could have
prevented a most calamitous and unfor
tunate strife at a most critical period of
the reconstruction of the republic. Yours
very truly,
Chauncey M. Depew.

are made into bows without endc.
fastened with pins.
Broad ribbons are preferred to narrow
ones, and are of moire or satin or fancy
sjtriped etamine, plush, velvet, lace and
painted stripes, combined with satin and
gros grain. Of course, these fancy nov
elties are left for mademoiselle, while
madam takes the plainer, more stately
moire and velvet. Elderly ladies some
times sigh for a good old-fashioned bon
net, that will cover their dear old faces
and settle down over their ears that feel
the cold and don’t want to be turned out
to the -winter winds. They are faithful
old servants, those ears, and deserve a
shelter in old age. They can have it,
too, since willful fashion has taken a
reverent turn, and honors the gray and
scanty locks and the old-time bonnet.
Before us this moment is a crape bonnet,
and it is sad to know this is oftenest the
material they wear. The shape is a
good, large, round crown and a substan
tial cape, the line between the two cover
ed with four narrow folds of crape. The
brim, or front, projects over the face in
a rounded point and comes down over
the ears and around on to the face.
Broad ribbon strings are fastened to the
bonnet, which is overlaid between the
crown and brim with rolls of crape; the
folds of ribbon laying back of the ear
portion of brim and covering the head
immediately behind the ear. Just such
a treasure as would delight the dear old
lady-even if only to look upon. But
let us hope that the winter will be mild
enough for many a walk in the bracing
air.
There are modifications of this style
that look considerably more youthful
and yet have the ear pieces and capes.
A square crown does much to modernize
the effect, and dressy trimming does still
more, and then comes the square crown
and poke front, plainly or dressily trim
med, which brings us to the starting
point—the small bonnets.
Next we may consider the daughters,
young and younger. Tall felt hats and
those of velvet are trimmed immediately
in front, and have narrow brims. Many
flare sliglftly in front, and some are curv
ed at the sides. Others roll on one side.*
We see the broad-brimmed Gainsboro
again, and yet not the same, for the
crown is ’tall and square and brim wide
and rolled at sides and slightly in front,
but abbreviated at the back. These will
be hailed with delight by the vast army
of sweet faces that must have large hats
or sink into the ‘homely’ ranks. The
Tam O’Shanter cap has come again,
with larger brims and larger, flatter
crowns. These are lovely, made with
plaid velvet crowns and plain brims. A
few fancy pins are all that is added.
Crimped brims on small peaked crowns
are bonnet shapes, and are suitable for
young ladies and misses. But the peak
ed crown and narrow rolling brim is
lust the thing for the miss who is aspir
ing and large for her age. Those who
wish to remain sweet little girls may
take the Tam O’Shanter with the peak
ed up brim, or the yacht. Materials for
millinery seem almost without end.
Beside the plain velvets, plushes and
ribbons, there are plaided velvets in all
the richest colorings—large broken
plaids. Then we find the same colors in
stripes. Beautiful striped etamines and
soft-tufted silk in Persian dyes, besides
the very new and stylish “fishers’ net
—a silk cord mesh, sometimes studded
with beads —as in dres3 materials; so in
millinery, beads are a delight. All col
ors are used, but lead-colored or Plomb,
as they are called, are the most in favor.
Small beads ornament the crowns and
large ones the brims. Lace-covcred w ith
a shower of beads makes beautiful crown
covers, but the net is most novel. It is
used to cover the crowns of felt bonnets
and hats, to which is added a beading on
the brims and often on the feathers.
Dray is a favorite color, but brown Is
the reigning queen of colors.
Gloves and hats are no longer chosen
with strict to the dress with
which they are to be worn, but are some
shade of brown. This applies especially
to gloves, scarcely any other shade being
worn. Of the varieties in kind and
shape we will speak very soon.

in the window, that was all. I thought
then that they were pretty cheap at $2,
but I don’t want ’em.” The tag on the
goods might have misled them, and per
haps the outward appearance of the rich
fabric of the shawls might have aided in
the deception. The tag was marked S2OO
instead of $2. The clerk explained the
difference to her customers. Both of
them, it is said, looked as though they
would like to have the roof fall on them.
THE “NIGGER TEACHER” “WtfF
EESB.”.
From the Boston Herald. |
While quietly walking up a wide street
in a pretty Southern town —my mind far
away from affairs around me—writes a
correspondent, I was startled into con
sciousness by a bright looking little dar
key who dotted a dilapidated straw hat
and asked : “Boss, ain’t you got no kind
er work you kin gin, me? I lives out to
Miss Joneses in de country and wants to
cum to town.”
I mildly disclaimed a residence in the
place, and jokingly assumed a melancho
ly air. I replied: “Why, no; lam a
stranger here, and it seems to me the
boot should come oil the other foot.
Can’t you tell me of something I can get
to do?”
The hoy was nonplussed. He survey
ed me for a moment, evidently doubting
my words; but, seeing I kept a straight
face, he fell into a study. Suddenly he
seemed to have solved the question, and
crushed me with his earnest reply, given
with an exultant air: “It’s the berry
thing; yes, boss, I does know! Down to
Mt. Zion, whar I goes to school, dey •
wants a 'Publican white teacher. Daf
nigger teacher ain’t got no sense, nohow.

I withdrew silently and wept.
A CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
From the IJo3ton Journal.]
The following is said to have been the
way actually used by a mother to remove
from the mind of her son an idea of
which he was strongly possessed. Wil
liam X. was an awkward country boy
with Immensely large feet and with less
than the average amount of mental abili
ty. He had in some way got it into his
head that he was intended by Providence
for a clergyman, and no amount of rea
soning by his mother and friends could
persuade him to abandon the idea, until
this happy thought struck the mother.
Opening her bible at the fifty-second
chapter of Isaiah, she read to her son the
verse commencing: “llow beautiful upon
the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidinsrs that publisheth
peace.” Then, turning to her son, she
said: “Now, William, you know yonr
feet are not beautiful; they are too large
to be leautiful.” This argument was
convincing., and William has never since
mentioned the idea of studying for the
ministry.
