was at work upon this contract his
stock of dyes must have run short,
so catching a passing sunbeam he
stirred it in with some yellow clay

Now Col. Rnmsliotliam is either

ty-Dninpty combined. In fact, he
is a brick.
Last week Hams, decided that
he would take in tho Exposition,
and his friends decided to send
along Colonel Hamstring ns a sort
of halnnce-whccl to his well-known
jovial proclivities. Wo insisted on
attaching a safety-valve to even this
guardian, but friends of the par
ties decided it unnecessary.
After an absence of three days a
telegram, llmt smelt strongly of
the jiin-jams, arrived stating that
the pilgrims would reach Athens
on Friday evening, and a crowd of
anxious friends gathered around nt
Ram’s store to welcome the tour
ists and learn the news from the
Exposition.
Hut wlicn the hack drove up and
the hero of the occasion alighted,
wlmt a sorrowful picture of dilapi
dation met their sympathetic gaze!
Tho blithesome friend wo had sad
ly parted from a low short suns be
fore would not he recognized in
tile spectre of misery that invaded
our pious circle. Rams, looked
like Im hail been run through a
steam rnusage-grimlcr, hail alustle
with tile Iliad legs of a healthy
Georgia male, wns struck by light
ning, used as a lloor-mop, noted ns
target, killed Gniteaii and wns llcc-
ing from justice, ami had ridden
home a-straddlc a cyclone.
“You've been drunk, Rains.!” 1
proclaimed l,is i.m iner ns soon us

! “Why couldn't you sleep?” wns
the next conundrum.
“Well,” continued the Colonel,

' answer, “you see me nml Hamstring

household “Isn’t the parlors at the Kimball
carpeted nml nicely furnished?”
“And how mauy more mixtures?”
asked the tempcranco interrogation
point.
“Then old John Sherman insist
ed upon settin’ tip lager, being it’s
cheap, and as we knew he stole his
money from tho government, we
took it.”
“And who else ?” asked tho new
fangled confessional cork-screw.
“Well,about tliis tune Jo Brown
came s'nggoring in and ordered
i champagne lor the crowd, a-ula-
i you see 1 ain't no Brown man I
fell sorter duty hound to .accept.”
Tim torturer gave the thumb
screw another turn.
“Yes; about this time Colquitt
said it was Ids treat agin, and or
dered some country pencil brandy
that lie said there uin’t been no tax
paid on.”
“And didn’t you treat in return
for tliis courtesy?” asked a friend.
“Oh, yes,” replied Rams.; “me
and the other boys set ’em up be
tween times, hut 1’in only tollin’
you about the most distinguished
drinks wc tackled.”
“After drinking that conglomer
ated mass of intoxication what did
you next do with yourself?” pul in
Ram’s pnrtncr.
“I can’t very clearly remember,”
wns the honest confession; “hut it
sccins like Gen. Phil Cook and me
—no, I think there were two, or
maybe three or four Gen. Phil
Cooks—started over to get some
oysters; hut the old table kept turn
ing round so tlint T couldn’t get a
lick at' my plate, and—and—”
“And wlmt ?” asked a friend.
“Well, hoy.-*, to tell (lie honest
truth, I don’t know anymore—for
got and left my note hook in my
overcoat pocket and couldn’t jot it
down—but I remember a police-
mail asking me where lie must car
ry me, nml I told him to Athens;
hut lie didn’t do it, for lliu next
morning I woke up in n strange
hotel that hail iron slats for blinds,
and Ilia proprietor charged me $10
and eosis for a night's longing, or
thirty days on the chain gang. 1
tell you them high charges will
ruin‘the Cotton Exposition.”
“And who paid you out?” was
the next question.
“Well, boys, I was in a rigid
skccry fix for awhile. I turned my
pocket wrong side out and all I
could consolidate was a pewter
quarter and two punched nickels.
1 I lieu put up my watch and pocket
knife, and tho boss of the shebang
hid me go and sin no more. And
you may Just bet,your bottom dol
Inr that 1 nm a sugar-cured ham
from tliis out.”
“And how did your head feci ?”
was the kind inquiry.
“Don't mention that subject,
hoys. If 1 had seen an advertise
ment next day for a kettle to boil
a turnip ns big ns Stone Mountain,
I 'il have leased it oat for the job.
I had plenty ucho in it to have used
up enough of Perry Davis' I’aia

ered comet. It felt like some (el-

I.ax iry in New Vurk.
The luxury and perfection of de
tail in New York dwellings is pass
ing into a proveyh. Nowhere ill
the world, probably, is so much
time nmt money expended upon
tiie furnishing and ornamenting of
the homes of the rich ns in tliis city.
Tho draping of curtains lias lie-
come a distinct branch of art, and
every decorator and upholsterer
lias one or more employes whose
sole business it is to arrange in
graceful folds the draperies, which
are now indispensable, at doors,
windows and fireplace. Even tliu
banisters must now be stulfcd and
tufted and draped on cither side
with heavy fringe. Ceilings are
I vet coed and painted iu the studios
of distinguished artists, nnd then
transferred to the houses that they
aro to embellish. Hundreds ot wo
men arc employed, nt an expense
of thousands ot dollars, upon ctp-
broidery and art needlework
which arc to adorn tho sumptuous
palaces in which our rich men live,
l’nintings, statuary, carvings in
stone nnd wood, the richest fabrics
of French mid Indian looms, in
deed, all that is rnro and beautiful
iu nature ami art, arc brought to
hear upon the decoration of these
republican palaces. Even the Rtn-
blcs in which tho horses, coachmen;
and grooms me to lie housed arc
far more luxurious limn tbo simple
homes in which the fathers of our
race passed their lives. The newly
fini- lied stables of Cornelius Van
derbilt, in Fifty-eighth street, far
outshine those of the Roman Em
peror whoso sumptuous’ appoint
ments have become a matter of his-
tory. . _
Recent Changes In Niagara-
One who returns to Niagara niter
n long absence notes tho' marked
changes taking placo in tho faco of
the cataract. My .first visit hero
was maile in 1844, thirty-seven
years ago. Thou tho broad ex
panse of Table Rock was tho plat
form on which successive thou
sands stood. Many crept softly to
the verge and looked into the abyss.
Others more cautiously lay on tlicir
faces and gazed at the crystal 1 cur
rent ns it broke Into Jewels and Ihll
in a stream fro.:: the awful height.
Now the broad platform has fallen
nnd Uie work of undermining is
going still further on. in forty
vears more the present standpoint
ivili lie in the depths, below. Uilt
more remarkable is the oliqugn in
tiie shape oDIiu Horseshoe Full
itself. Thun it was u perfect seg
ment of a circle, so nearly like tho
liee) of a horseshoe to suggest
the fitness of its name. Now vast
masses of rock have lieen dislodged
in tiie middle of tho curve, making
n sharp and wide diversion of tho
current, so that the torn at pours
into a midway gulf from which ilia
mist rises constantly. This does
not diminish, hut perhaps enhances
the interest of tlio cataract. It
breaks tliu circuit, destroys tiie
but they arc a so itlilng halm of; perleet symmetry of tho curve. It

If Lazarus, w ; th all his biles and
afflictions, had stumbled on me
soon tliis morning, I’d have gladly
swapped him the least ache in my
poor miserable carcass nnd taken
his whole slock in trade. I tell
you, if they want to convert sin-
is going on with far greater force
than Mr. Lyoll and Ills brethren in
geology calculated when they sup
posed they had estimated tile ages
by the prog css backward on tliu
verge of Niagara. If in liiif tho
life-time of a modern man such
changes have occurred, wlmt may
