Sporlsman.
*' Say, 103’ dear,” said Mr. Spoopcn
l.ykc. as he drew a gun from the ease
uni eyed it critically, ” I want \<vn to
wake ine up early in the morning. I'm
going shooting.”
‘•lsn’t that ton sweet!” ejaculated
Mrs. Snoopen 'u kc. “ I’ll wear my
dress and my Saratoga waves. Where
do we go ?”
“I’m going down to tlie island, and
you’ll go as far as the front door.”
grunted Mr, Spoopendyke. “ Women
don’t go shooting. It’s only men. All
you’ve got to do is to wake me up and
get break fa A. \\ lien I come home
we ll have some bird' l .”
“ Vi ou’t that be n : ce !” chimed Mrs.
Spoopendyke. " Can you catch birds
with llir.t tld tig ?” and Mrs. Spoopen
dyke fiuHered aound the im; roved
breech loading shot gun, firmly im
pressed with the idea tiiat. it was some
kind of a f rap.
“ I can kill 'em with this,” exclaim
ed Mr. Spoopend) kc. “This is a nun,
my dear; it isn't, a nest with t.lnce
speckled eggs in it. nor is it a barn
with a hole in the roof. You stick the
cartridge iu here and puii this finger
piece. and down comes your bird every
time.”
“ Isn’t that the greatest thing! I
supr ose if you don't, want a partridge
you can stick a duck or a turkey in
that end, too, or a fish or a lobster, and
bring it down just as quick.”
“ Yes, or you can stick a house or a
cornfield, or a dod gastcd female idiot.
:n there, too. if you want,to!” snorted
Mr. Spoopendyke “Who said any
thing about partridge? It's a cart
ridge that goes in there.”
“Oh!” ejaculated Mis. Spoopen
dyke, rather crestfallen. “ I see now.
Where does the bird go?”
“ It goes to night school, if he hasn’t
got any more sense than you have,"
snorted Mr. Spoopendyke. “Look
here, now. and I'll show you how it
works,” and Mr. Spoopendyke, whose
ideas of a gun were about as vague as
those of his wife, inserted the cart
ridge half way in the muzzle end, and
cautiously cocked tlie weapon.
“And when the bird secs that he
comes and pecks it! Isn't that the
funniest!” and Mrs. Spoopcul ■, ke
clapped her bands in the enjoyment
of her discovery, •• Then you put out
your hand and catch him !"
“You’ve struck it!’ howled Mr.
Spoopcndike, who had the hammer
on the half* cock and was vainly pull
ing at the trigger to get it down.
“ That's the idea! All you need is
four feathers and a gas bill to be a
martingale! Willi your notions you
only want anew stock and steam trip
hammer to be a needle gun ! Don’t
you know tlie dod gastcd thing lias fo
go off before vow get a bird ? You
shoot the birds ; you don't wait for
’em to shoot \ on.”
•‘At home c used always to chop
i heir hea ls off with an ax,” faltered
.Mrs. Spoopendvkc.
“So would, I if I was going after
measly old liens,” retorted Mr. Spoo
pendyke, who had managed to uncock
the contrivance : “ but when I go for
yellow birds and sparrows I go like a
sportsman. While I’m waiting for a
bird.” continued Mr. Spoopendyke,
adjusting the cartridge at the breech.
“I put the load in here for safety, and
when I see a flock I aim and fire.”
Bang! went the gun, knocking the
tall feathers out of an eight-day clock
and plowing a foot furrow in t i e wall,
perforating tiie closet dour and culmi
nating in Mr. Spoopeudyke’s plug bat.
“ Goodness, gracious !” squeaked
Mrs. Spoopendyke, “Oh my!”
Mr. Spoopendyke gathered himself
up and contemplated the damage.
“ Why couldn't ye keep still lie
shrieked. “ What'd ye want to dis
turb my aim for aid make me ict it
off? Think I can hold back a charge
of powder and a pound of shot while
a measly woman is searing it vhrough
a gut, barrel ?”
“If it had beer, a bird how nicely 1
you would have shot it!" suggested
Mrs. Spoopendyke. soothingly. “If
you should ever aim at a bird you'd
catch him sure.”
Not partial, but complete.

FOR THE PEOPLE.
Extracts from the Speech of Hon.
Emory Speer.
DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRE
SENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, I). C.,
Mari ii 20th. ISB2.
. The House, as in Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union,-
having under consideration tlie bill (H. R.
No. 2315) to provide for the appointment
of a commission to investigate the question
of tlie tariff and internal revenue laws—
* * •* * * *
Sir, my first appearance in the Con
GiiEssioxAL Record was to introduce
a petition for the repeal or modification
of this internal-tax system.
-* * * * -* *
I look upon that action wilh_.no
emotions save thoc of gratification
and pleasure; and it is even sug
gestive of more p!easu r e that the
petition was signed by a distinguished
Georgian, then, but not now, a member
of this body: and n:v distinguished
and honorable friend, Sir. Stephens,
added to the petition the great weight
of his name. Mis is, indeed, sir. durum
et venerabile nomen , and. in tlie course
of a long and valuable life, freighted
with good, deeds and kindest emotions
and impulses for tlie welfare of the
people; a life marked by temperate
conservatism and devotion to the
principles of free government, never,
did he hold to a conviction with more
tenacity, ami never, in my judgment,
more wisely or beneficially to those
w o delight to trust and honor him.
Mr. Chairman, excise laws are in
variably unpopular laws, and laws
which are unpopular are very apt to
be bad laws. In his luminous com
mentaries on the common law, Mr.
Blackstone tells us that—
“ The ligor and arbitrary proceed
ings of excise laws seem hardly com
patible with tlie spirit of a free nation.
* * * Such was the opinion of
their general unpopularity, that when
in 1042 aspersions were cast by malig
nant persons upon the House of Com
inon-s that they intended to introduce
excises, the house of its vindication
therein did declare that these rumors
were false and scandalous, and that
their authors should be apprehended
and brought to condign punishment”
Not even the genius of Hums, the*
tuneful and soulful son of the people,
could make the exciseman Burns en
tirely a favorite. And, sir, the gauger
is not more unwelcome au.o -g tlie
hills of Georgia than he is among the
rocks of Tipperary and Connaught;
and the right of tlie Irishman to make
tlie potheen from his potatoes is quite
as dear to him as is the privilege of
the moonshiner, so called, to distill
the apple jack and peach brandy from
the products of his own orchard.
This hostility tothc internal-revenue
laws is perhaps not entirely senti
mental in its character; and reports
sometimes reach tlie public of resist
ance to tlie revenue officers. These
reports are not without exaggeration.
You hear but one side of tlie question
For when the moonshiner, so called,
by a show of resistance has stampeded
the exciseman, lie is exceedingly care
less what telegram the fleeing officer,
with his mind frightened from its
propriety, may send to the revenue
bureau. What community is there in
the Northern States which would not
be startled, excited, and enraged if a
raid of forty or fifty revenue officers,
armed like the braves of Sitting Bull,
should come riding and foraging the
country, destroying property, arrest
ing and pursuing tlie people and
dragging them away to trial in the
Federal courts, before juries not ot the
vicinage and for an offense made penal
by law and not by the principles of
right and morality—crime malum
prohibitum and not malum, in se. Sir,
there is not a community from New
England to New Mexico that would
patiently endure the operation of sue!*
laws.
'.V -X A ',V : k
I have listened, sir, to my honorable
friend from Kentucky [Mr. Carlisle]
in the delivery of his beautiful theories
on the subject of free trade. For my
part, Mr. Chairman, I think that free
trade, like charity, should begin at
home; and I am unwilling that this
House should beoceupied entirely with
the consideration of the benefits which
may arise by taking the tariff off foreign
goods when I fee that a farmer in this
country is not permitted to sell the
product of his own farm to his neighbor
without paying a heavy tax or incur
ring the iisk of an odious and degrad
ingpenalty. Let free trade begin with
our own people as protection is for the
benefit of our own people.
I am aware that my opinions on
this subject may be attributed to
motives which are entirely alien to my
mind. I know that a systematic at
tempt, has been made to impress upon
the minds of the Northern people the
idea that the people whom I im
mediately represent are especially
hostile to the enforcement of these
revenue laws. Like their Rcprcseta
live, sir, they are not eunmo-ed with
these laws. They find it difficult to
understand why a farmer cannot sell
the products of his own farm to his
neighbor without appearing on the
criminal docket. But there is no undue
demonstration of hostility the 7 c. And
the systematic exaggeration of a
certain revenue official iivthat district
reminds me of what Dr. Livingstone
said was tho custom of the Bechuana
Hottentots. The great explorer tells
us that when that people would give
him a miserable goat they would ex
claim, “ Behold ! An ox !” So it lias
been with the reports of this revenue
officer. Isolated instances of violation
of the law by a few people have been
made to involve entire counties and a
pretense for expensive expeditions to
be paid liberally from the public
Treasury.
Gentlemen have observed how the
columns of the Washington news
papers arc occasionally* enlivened by
telegrams from the South reciting how
valiant revenue officials, presumably
at great risk to themselves, have seized
and destroyed large distilleries, iin
mense quantities of malt and mash,
and oceans of LecT and spirits. Whv.
sir, the maii is not sufficiently swift
to convey to the world the accounts
of the achievements of the doughty
lieutenants of the honoiablo Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, and so
electricity* is invoked for that purpose.
Let an investigation be asked, and
the telegrams arc mullipled. C<m
spiracies, ambuscades, murders, and
riots flash along the wires like the siieet
lightning in a summer’s evening, until
an unsuspecting and patriotic people,
a quiet agricultural and pastoral
people, who are devoted to the Govern
meat and its principles, are made to
appear, by falsehood and calumny, as
rebellious and disaffected.
Sir, it would bo well if gentlemen
knew tlie difference between a dis
tillery* properly so called, one of the
mammoth structures that you see in
the North and West, and the wretched
and paltry contrivance to distill a few
gallons of peach cr apple brandy or
corn whisky*, which so excites and
inflames the representatives of tlie
Revenue Bureau in that country.
Perhaps a withered beldame, “old
and droll,” is driving along a mountain
road. Her conveyance is a ricketty
two-wheeled cart. Her team is a
mberable bull, whose native ferocity
has been lamed by hard penury, l!
is true, perhaps, that there is under
the fodder in the body of the cart a
five-gallon keg of whisky to which there
is affixed no stamp bearing the noble
and classic features of the honorable
Commissioner himself. The deputies
are in ambush for her. They rush
upon her, and like FaistafT arc masters
of her wealth. She screams and
scratches with all her might in the
dt fcnse of her property. And then
the wires dash to Washington—“ Great
seizures of blockade spirit: desperate
resistance by the armed offender, but
the gallant officers captured the moon
shiner with wagon and team.”
Now, I say*, and I say* it with all
candor, this is in a large measure
typical of many cases of which the
Northern people hear so much.
* * * * . * *
To-day, sir, the State of Georgia is
atlame with the homicide of one of its
citizens perpetrated by the revenue
officials. An old man sixty years of
age shot down at his home in one of
the counties of my district, the county
of Gwinnett, by four men who went
there to arrest him. It would mani
festly be improper for me in advance
of the judicial investigation to express
my opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of these parties, but what I do say is
this, that it is the iniquitous system
which inflicts on the people of that
country “deep, burning wrongs to stir
a fever in the blood of age. or make
the infant sinews strong as steel.” I
shall feel it my duty, sir. to give the
evidence developed on the coroner’s
inquest of that case to the American
people, and let them see how these
revenue laws affect their brothers in
blood, like them patriots, and like them
devoted to the principles of free govern
ment.
: k- -A- : k'
But, sir, it is not alone among the
laboring and agricultural classes this
law is detested, nor is the demand
from this country for its repeal anew
feature in our history. These laws
nave always been regarded as essen
tially war faxes. It is true that the
law of 171)2 was not passed when the
country was in actual war. but it
brought on war—the western insur
rection of Pennsylvania to which I
have alluded. We are told, sir, by an
eminent authority, no other than the
distinguished chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, [Mr. Kelley.]
that to quell that insurrection cost the
Government $1,500,000. About that
time, writing to Mr. Monroe, Thomas
Jefferson declared, and I beg flic dis
ciples of the Jeffersonian Democracy
will hear the utltcrunce o! the sage of
Monticello :
“The excise system is an infernal
one. The first error was to admit it
by the Constitution ; the second, to
.act on than adstession. Ti e iniorma
t on oi'our ndiiti i returned from the
westward is uniform that through the
people there let them pass quietlv, they
were the objects of their laugh® r, not
of their fear: that their detestation
of the excise law is universal, and is
now associated with a detestation of
the Government.
On one occasion, sir, my distinguish
ed cm!league [Mr. Stevens] was speak
ing fo the people of one of his most
populous counties. The house was
crowded ; the people had turned out
en masse to hear the words of wisdom
and patriotism from lips to whose
thrilling and mu deal periods t'ici
grandsires had listened with trust and
eager confidence. The day was
warm, and the enfeebled body of ray
venerable friend required an artificial
stimulant. After a splendid period,
which expressed in happy phrase his
ideas of party principle, ray friend
drew from his pocket a vial of the un
taxed mountain-re v, which is his con
stant companion, and. taking what
Dick Swiveller would call “a moder
ate quencher. ’ returned tho flask to
his pocket and. continuing his thought.
sa : d : •• That, fellow citizens, is true
.Jeffersonian Democracy.” In an in
stant the crowd was uproarious, and
it was some time before my venerable
fiiend understood why the spirit of
his definition was so contagious. Sir.
in view of the recital I have given of
the principles of Mr. Jefferson, my
iriend. afiei' all was not very wi !c of
tlie murk.
Mr. Chairman, I have about conclu
ded. lam grateful for your forbear
anoc and for the courteous attention
of the House, i arraign this system
of internal taxation because it is a
spy tax. because it encourages and
maintains a horde of rotten informers,
whose claim to promotion is their skill
in the art of treachery and dissimula
tion, and who often supplement these
despicable talents with unblushing
perjury*. These laws lay* waste farms
and destroy the peace of communities.
Fhey are a fruitful source of unhappi
ness and disaffection, or litigation, of
broils and bloodshed, of disquiet to
every peaceful interest and industry*.
Sir. this country must and will strike
them from the statute-book. Then let
us raise the revenues of our Govern
ment from customs. In that way, by
scientific tariff;*, adequate protection
can 1 e afforded to American industry.
If we cannot have free trade with the
world, we can at least have free trade
and freedom at home. If wc cannot
bring relief to the manufacturers of
foreign merchandise, wc can bring re
lief and contentment to that great
mass of the American people whose
most priceless heritage is the spirit
of liberty*, personal and public, be
queathed to them by tlie heroic men
who, for impositions such as these,
rebelled against British power, threw
off the yoke of King George, and cs
tablished the great American Repub
lic, to perpetuate in its people the liv
ing principles of independer.tism, and
to animate future generations of free
men with devotion to its matchless
institutions. [Appause.]
Grateful Women.
None receive so much benefit, and
none are so profoundly grateful and
show such an interest in recommend
ing Hop Bitters as women. It is the
only remedy peculiarly adapted to the
many ills the sex is almost universally
subject to. Chills and fever, indiges
tion or deranged liver, constant or
periodical sick headaches, weakness
in the back or kidneys, pain in the
shoulders and different parts of the
body, a feeling of lassitude and do
spondcncy, arc all readily removed by
these Bitters.— Courant.
Scenery and Bumps.
In Nevada two rival coaches star
ted out on parallel roads each four
team on a gallop. A New Yorker, be
ing the only passenger in one coach,
took a seat with the driver. He en
dured the first five miles very well, as
the road was pretty smooth, but he
finally carelessly* observed :
“This pace is rather hard on horses,
isn’t it ?”
“Oli. no! They* are used to it. I
haven’t begun to swing ’em yet,” was
the reply.
“Ifyou were going a little slower,
I could enjoy the scenery much bet
ter.”
“ Yes, I suppose so ; but this line
isn’t run on the scenery principle.”
That ended the conversation until
the horses turned a corner, and the
stage rode around it on two wheels.
Then the New Yorker remarked :
“ 1 suppose you sometimes meet
with accidents ?"
“Almost every day,” was the brief
reply.
“ Is there any danger of something
giving way ?”
“Of course; but we’ve got to take
our chances. G’lang there !”
At the end of another mile the pas
senger controlled his voice sufficiently

“ No, I s’spose not; but I've got
to do it or lose ten dollars.”
“ llow ?”
“ I've got an even ‘ten dollars’ bet
that I can beat the other stage into
Red Ilill by fifteen minutes, and I am
going to win that money if it kills a
horse.”
“ Say, hold on 1" exclaimed the oth

tion jii3t received liero that Sheriff
V\ illiam Estes, of Stokes county. N.
C.. was shot on the 30th ult., while
robbing his own office. He left homo
to he absent some days, and directed
his wife not to allow any one to stnv
all night, and at the same time gave
her the sa : e key. About dark one of
t >e neighbors came to his house, and
Mrs. Estes having raised no objection
he went off to the room to spend tlu>
night.
THE ADVENT OF TIIE ROBBERS.
Alter he had retired two men came
to the house and asked leave to stay,
and Mrs. Estes objected. They, how
ever, went in and demanded the safe
key. threatening to kill her if she re
fused it. She ran up stairs, informed
her guest and was told by him to go
down, deliver the key and say nothing
ot nis presence. The men then pro
ceeded to rob the safe, and while thus
engaged Mrs. Estes friend came down
and killed both of the men. Upon
examination it was found that one of
the men was the sheriff, who had dis
guised himself, and the other was one
of his neighbors.
When You are Heady to Go, Go.
Not all have learned the art of leav
ing in an appropriate manner. When
you are about to depart do so tit once,
gracefully and politely, ami with no
dallying. Don’t say “It's about time
I was going,” and settle back and ’alk
on aimlessly for another ten minutes,
some people have just such a tireoome
habit, i hey wdl even rise and stand
about the room in various attitudes,
keeping their hosts also standing, and
then by an effort succeed in getting
as far as the hall, when anew thought
strikes them. They brighten up vis
ibl\ and stand for some minutes longer
saying nothing of importance, but
keeping everybody in a restless, nerv
ous slide. Alter the door is opened
the prolonged leave taking begins, and
everybody in general and particular
is invited to call. Very likely a hist
thought strikes tha departing visitor,
which his friend must risk a cold to
hear to the end. What a relief when
the door is finally closed ! There is
no need of being offensively abrupt,
but when you are ready to go—go.

Common Sense.
The man who brings up his children
in luxury is likely to regret it before
he dies. Hard work, self dependence
and personal responsibility are just
as necessary to toughen a rich man’s
son as a poor man's. When a j’oung
man begins life in the role of aimless
wealth, lie’is apt to end it in the role
of a vagrant. lie may he a trump for
awhile, but after that he will be a
tramp. The girl who can work a bou
quet on the toe of a slipper, or play
“Somebody’s Coming When the Dew
Drops Fall” and play on the piano,
may boast of her accomplishments
during the courting season, but after
marriage the one who can put a tri
angular patch on her husband’s pan
taloons and realize that somebody’s
coming when the dinner hell rings, is
the better wife.
North Georgia Citizen : “In Hous
ton Ga.. not long ago. a company of
young folks met to enjoy a game of
whist. There was occasion for one
of the young women to remark that
she would never marry a man so like
Oscar Wilde that ho should fall to the
esthetic depth of wearing his hair a
la horse-tail. Her interlocutor ban
tered the fair Georgian to marry him,
and as much to his surprise as to that
of the company, she accepted the offer.
I he party of the first part was rather
elated than crestfallen, however, be
cause the party of the second part
happened to be nrs wise as she was
witty and as rich in purse as she was
rare in personal attractions. Cards
were abandoned ; a courier was sent
with quick heels for a marriage license ;
a judge was summoned as witness; a
clergyman was hauled from hi.s study ;
and with a quickness that almost took
away the bride's breath, she found
herself a wife. As the betrothal took
place at 10 o’clock and the marriage
at 11, one hour only was consumed.
In this romantic way Miss Maybelle
Clark, daughter of Judge Clark, of
Americas, was wedded to Henry L.
Sandlin, a worthy and well to-do mer
chant of Houston county.’*
Douglasville Star: “On last Sat
urday while Air. W. J. Camp and some
friends were fox hunting, their dogs
began running something which they
finally ran to its den. It proved to
be a wild dog. There were five of
them, the mother and four puppies,
the latter-being about two month? old.
They all escaped but one puppy, which
wrs finally captured, but not until it
bit Mr. Camp badly on the hand. All
of the dogs were of the same color.
They have been a source of great trou
ble to the sheep near Chapel Hill, and
the remains of a half devoured sheep
were found near their den.”
