'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 from. Tim’s all we got to live fer, so Jou pars up a few things, an’ be shore ft to forgit that blue back spellin'-book what I learned in myself, when I was a boy—up to baker. No use in spendin’ money for books when you’ve already |got ’em, an’ we’ll strike out next week nor town an’ start Tim in the fust day’s ■school.’ I A week later and an ox wagon deliver led a in front of a little adobe [house, notwar from the ward school, afiy t or.n had curiosity enough to ■inspect it, our country friends would Have been discovered in the midst of the Hew things’ Nancy had packed up, sorne r what bewildered as to how toget straight k owed up, as moving was to them anew mrht untried mystery. H After sundry return trips to the r.yneh Ho bring in the big iron wash-kettle, the Bash hoppers without which Nancy declar ■ed she couldn’t get along ‘no way you f fix it,’ and other equally useful articles, I he Higgins family found themselves THE CARTERSVILLE COJ 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.’ Allik B. Lewis. San Antonio, Texas. A SMALLPOX SCARE. From the Philadelphia News.] “Gentlemen,” said a tattered tramp in 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 impudent nomad with a stony stare. “Gentlemen,” pleaded the vagrant, “you have no idea of how tired I am. I left Montreal”- Suddenly the seven men on the settee with one accord jumped up and skedad dled without looking around. “Yes,” Baid the tramp as he stretched himself out at full length on the bench, “I left Montreal when I was 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.

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. COME AND SEE.

Thursday afternoon, two ladies entered the store and asked to look at the shawls. The shawls were produced and displayed to the ladies. They pulled at them and picked at them and discussed them and finally turned aside with an air of indifference, as if they had found no merit, whatever, in them. The obliging lady clerk had be come interested in their examination, and as the ladies were about to turn away, she asked what they thought of the shawls. One of the women only spoke up. She stuck her long forefinger under one of the shawls and pulling at it again replied “Oh, nothing much. I saw the shawls 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.

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.
