Dawson, April 3.—Editor E. L. Rainey,
of tho Journal, received a letter on the
1st inst., containing, as it said, "the left
j hand hind foot of a grave yard rabbit.”
i The letter was written in a feminine hand,
and said the rabbit foot was for luck, and
| if fie would always keep it about his per-
j son lie would certainly win the affections
of the lady of his choice, provided he
could get tho old Captain, his widower
j rival, out of the way. And now Mr.
i Rainey wants advice os to how he c*n
> dispose of his rival without committing a
I crime. The letter also contained some-
i thing like a quarter-flection of a paatalet,
which tho writer explained was a speci
men of her work. And now Mr. Rainey
desires to know how such work c»n
he utilized, or what benefit such work
can he lo him, as he don’t wear pan
talets, or what interest it would be to
his readers. He is much troubled
ever the matter, and is losing sleep, ap
petite an l flesh. Somebody advise him;
I can’t. I have very little experience in
love, none in rabbit feet and ptntalet*.

between the wild crab-apple that
grows in our wo ids and the mellow
June apple that blushes iu tbe sum
mer sun. Mr. Peck did not kn. w
it. He thought an orange was an
I orange the world over. He tackled
a Jacksonville street orange ano
writes thus to Peck’s Sun on Hie
( subject:
I "The oranges didn't look right
I to me. I couldn’t see how they
' could grow right there in the street,
j right within reach of every little
nigger coon in town, without being
slolm. In the North the sourest
! crabapple that ever broke a man’s
j iw or puckered up a pretty niotnii
would not be safe fur a moment a-
exposnl as tlieac oranges were, and
I could not believe that boys in the
South were more honest than boys
iu the North. Then I got to think
iug, and made up my mind that
the oranges were lied on the trees
with pieces of wire lo dsceive
Northern people. I thought it was
a mean deception and I made up
my mind to expose it to the world.
I asked a colored man if there wus
any objections lo a man picking
an orange, and lie said be reckoned
not, so 1 reached up and got hold
of one and picked it. I looked for
the wire or striug, hut it was actu
ally a growing orange, and I had
more faith in Florida than ever. 1
shall always believe that the col
ored man smiled wlieu lie saw me
take out niv knife lo cut a piece
out of that orange. Anyway, lie
turned his hack when I started
i he piece of orange toward my
mouth. Many 01 tho readers
of the Sun will remember my
mouth, as it was when I lived
at the North. It was a prelly de
cent sort of a moil’ll to stub around
home with. A plain everyday sort
of a bole,with teeth and tongue and
lips, before I took that piece ol
orange in. Ye gods! Tbe orange
was as much sourer llinn vinegar
than vi egar is sourer than bonev.
Anil biltei! Aloes snd rhubarb
and quinine combined would have
been uiolat-es beside that orange.
My ll|4s began to curl up and draw
bile the haliy cried ns though
nin was sticking in it, on account
of the expression on mv face. I
reached around to my pocket for a
hankerebief to cover my face until
I could unscrew my mouth and get
it back in front of me, and the
colored man thought I was going
to draw a pistol, and he started off
on a run. Well, if I had a picture
of my face when I look a mouth
ful ol that orange, they could sell
them by the thousands in dime
museums, as the wild man ot
Borneo. And that is the reason
oranges arc safe growing on the
streets. They aie too sour to pa
that they might the more surely
get a chance ol burying their weap
ons in one of us.
Exploring along Ibis way a party
ol our men came across six dead
and four wouutled Arabs lying
under a bushy dwarf mimosa tree.
The soldiers had an interpreter
with them, and tbe Arabs were
called upon lo surrender and come
out. That they said they could not
do; would the soldiers therefore
c -me and take them. The (our
wounded men still held their spears
in their hands. "Very good,”aaid
our soldiers, “put down your
pears, and we will aeo that you are
and no hoy will steal anything he j well treated, and do all we can lo
cannot eat.”
A Variety or llriuks.
A party of newspaper eorrespon
dents recently met in London and
were giving their experience of llie
drinks lo be got in various parts ol
the world. One told ot a famous
concoction prepared in Italy; an
other spoke of the drinks prepared
in California; another of Mesopo
lamia, Australia, etc. The lusi
man to speak said that at a suppei
in Russia he oscc got a drink con
sisting of champagne and a pint ot
brandy hot, which was drank with
a toast to the guest oft'ie evening.
"Well?"said a listener. "Oh,after
that you were put to bed; there was
nothing else to do that evening,”
was the rejoinder.

There was a crack of Martini-Hen-
rya. You can guess tbe rest. It
was again, as at Theb and Tamai,
almost impossible to take prisoners
and we secured but two of their
wounded alive.
The third prisoner 1 assisted to
hiing in, but he was hardly a cap-
ure, for the man gave himself up.
He had a Remington and over
100 rounds of ammunition. His
story was that he had been one of
the Berber Egyptian garrison, and
since the lull of that place had
been forced into the Mahdi's army.
He was glad to escape from them,
ne declared, and I must say the
fellow looked cheerful at being
'aken. A trooper of the Nine-
centli conducted him to General
