My Wife’s Bridal Tour.
BY HOSB SKINNER.
When I married my second wife, she was
dreadful set about going off for a bridal
ti'Or. I told her she had b-tter wait six
months or a year, and I would try to go
with biT, but she said she’d rather go alone
when a woman was traveling, a man was
an out-and-out hmnbng.
So I gave her seventy five cents, and told
her to go off and have a good time. ! never
begrudge money where my wife’s happiness
is concerned. My first wile never noald
complain of not going anywhere, for I’m
dreadful fierce to go off on a good time my
self, and always was. I don't pretend to
■*ay how many times I took h«r out to see
the engine squirt, and no end to the free
lectures I let her go to. The neighbors used
to say :
‘•lt does beat all how do go.”
When Signor Blitz was in Skunkville.
with his wonderful canaries, he gave my
wife a complimentary ticket. I not only
sold that ticket for my wife, bat E gave her
half the money. I don’t boast of it, thongh;
I only mention it to show how much I
thought of ray wife’s happiness.
I don’t think any man ought to get mar
ried until he can consider his wife’s happi
ness only second to his own. John Wise, a
neighbor of mine, did thusly, and when I
got married I concluded to do like Wise.
But the plan didn’t work in the case of
my second wife. No, I should say not. I
broached the subject kindly :
‘ Matilda," 1 said, “I suppose yon are
aware that I am now your lord and master. ”
‘•Not much you ain’t.”
'•Mrs. Skinner,” I replied, ‘ you are fenr
fnlly demoralized ; you need reorganizing at
once. Too are cranky.”
A.rid I brandished ray new sixty-two cent
umbrella wildly around her. She took tha
umbrella sway from tie and locked me np in
the clothes press.
I am quick to draw an inference, nnd the
inference I drew was that I was not a suc
cess as a reorganizer of female women.
After this I changed my tactics. I let
her have her own way, and the plan worked
to a charm from the very first. It’s the
best way of m maging a wife that I know
of. Of course'his is be’ween you and nie.
So when my wife said she was boood to
go ofi on a bridal tonr, I cordially consent
ed.
"Go. Matilda ” said I, “and stay as long
as you want to; then, if you feel as though
yon would like to stay a little longer, stay,
my dear, stay.”
She told me to stop talking and go up
stairs aod get her red fl >tsncl night-cap, and
that bug of pennyroyal lor her Aunt Abi
gail.
My wife is a very smart woman. She
was a Baxter, and ihe Baxters are a very
smart family, indeed. Her mother, who is
going on eighty, can fry more slapjacks now
than half those primped up city girls who
rattle on the piano or else walk the streets
with tbe'ir furbelows and fixings, pretending
to get mad if a youth looks at ’em pretty
hard, but getting mad in earnest if yoa
don’t notice them at all.
Ah ! girls ain’t what they nsed to be when
I was young, and the fellows are worse still,
ftji-n I wnfl to
HAMPTON, GA, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1880.
tbonrht of staying till after ten o’clock, and
only went twice a week. Now they go sev
en nights in the week, and cry because there
ain’t eight. Then they write touching note*
to each other daring the day.”
“Dear George, do yon love me as much
now as you did at a quarter-past twelve last
night! Say you do, dearest, uud it will give
me courage to go down to dinner and tackle
them cold beans left over from yesterday.”
Well, well, l suppose they enjoy them
selves, and it ain’t (or us oid folks, whose
hearts are a litcalloused by long wa*r, to
interfere. Let them get together and court
if they like it—and I think they do. I was
forty-seven when I courted my present wife,
but it scetned just as nice to sit on a little
cricket at her feet and let her smooth my
hair as it did thirty years ago.
As I said before, my wife it a very smart
woman, but sbe could not be anything else
and be a Baxter. She u*ed to give lec
tures on Women’s Right*,and iu one place
where she lectured a big college conferred
the title of L. L D. on her. But she wouldn’t
take it.
"No, gentlemen,” she said “give it to the
poor.”
She was always just so chnritnble. She
gave my boys permission to go barefoot nil
winter, and insisted npon it so much in her
kind way that they couldn’t refuse.
She fairly dotes on my children, and I’ve
seen her many a time go to their trowsers
pockets and take out their pennies, after
they’d got to sleep, and put them in the
bureau drawer for fear they might lose them.
* * * * •
I started to tell you about my wife's bri
dal tour, but the fact is I never could find
out much about it myself. I believe she
had a g”od time. She came hack improved
in health, and I found out before she had
been in the house twenty-four hours that
she'd gained in strength also. I don’t say
how I found it out—l simply say I found il
out. In conclusion, I would say to all young
men: Marry your second wife first, and
keep TOt of debt by all mean*, even if you
have to borrow the moneyto do it.
Wilkie Gatlins.
Of Wilkie Collins the London correspond
ent Of the San Frnncisco Chronicle says :
“He is a very hard worker. He takes un
tiring pains with his novels. Many persons
think he concerns himself with the plot only,
dashing off the story ns soon as he has ar
ranged the argument. This is not so. While
he toils over the plot, his labor on his man
uscript is continnous and extreme. He
writes, rewrite*, corrects, erases, re-corrects,
and interlineates until very little of the orig
inal copy is left. He is very conscientious
about style. He does not believe that a
single word too much should be employed,
nod be cleaves religiously to idiomatic ex
pressions. You have observed, no doubt,
that his English, especially in bis latter
works, is terse, clear, and strong, and care
fully adapted to the topic in hand. While
he enjoys getting a large price for his books,
he never permits greed to prevail over his
literary conscientiousness. He never lets
anything go to the printer anti! he has sat
isfied bim-elf that he has done bis best. Be
fore he pots pen to paper he forms the cen
tre plot. He admits that this is his severest
effort, and when it is accomplished he begins
to write deliberately and regularly. He
generally devotes five, sometimes six, hours
per day to composition, and is more or less
facile, according to his mood. He seldom
writes fast; but once under way he keeps
steudy at bis work. He prefers the early
day for bis tasks—between 10 a m. and 3
or 4 p. m.—and pursues them with earnest
ness and energy. He never, I believe, wri'es
at night. When he has finished a novel he
usually takes a vacation, thinking that his
brain requires rest. He has a good library
in his house, but reads few books simply for
entertainment, most of his reading being
undertaken with a view to his trade. He
runs through a number of novels, in order,
as he says, to stimulate his imagination, but
never for the purpose of borrowing or get
ting biotg I bave been told—indeed, much
of what I have related I have from hearsay
—that he has read an extraordinary number
of novels ; that he seldom fails to dip into
every new work of fiction that cornea within
bis reach. He has, I understand, a very
good acquaintance with French, German,
and Italian, reading those languages flaently
He is a great admirer of Victor Hugo, bat
dees not cherish a very high opinion of the
mass of French contemporaneous fictionists,
considering them deficient io incident.”

A Texas Genius.
A Texas farmer made a discovery on the
18th which certainly bids fair to raise him
to more prominence in his own Stale than
if he had found a new asteroid of the nine
teenth magnitude, right ascension 53 north,
or invtnted a new steam pump. Sorely and
tersely the discovery was a method for the
extermination of the Texan ant. Kvory one
knows that the ant is an insect that must be
dealt with prudently yet vigorously, comba
tively yet with caution. From the micro
scopic but Highly flavored species that
huuuts the sugary spots of the cupboard, to
the fierce and intractable pic-nic variety, the
ant is a creature inculcating feelings of pro
foundest respect, not to say awe, in the hu
man breast, and there is not a housekeeper
in the broad land that can look unmoved
npon him, when once he has established his
home io the neighborhood and gone active
ly into the business of multiplication and in
creare. Professor Doremu j , of New York,
once estimated that there were 19,344 differ
ent species of ants in America ; and the Gal
veston New* promptly recognizing the situa
tion, rose nod claimed 10.343 of those spe
cies as the exclusive property of Texas. Sel
fish and inconsidciate os the claim may
seem, it has never been contested ; and since
the Encyclopedia Britanica, in the new edi
tion, has accorded 19,300 varieties to Texas,
it will he seen that the Galveston News’ap
parently violent and boastful claim is well
bucked up by scientific authority. But to
the discovery.
The Texan farmer whoso fame bids fair
to rival that of Professor W. Henry Tuft,
discoverer of the liver regulator, was in such
humble circumstances a year ago that he
was not able to keep too hogs ar,d one ants’
nest on his rancho, twenty miles bepond Un
raid, on the Rio Frio, Being still farther
reduced, ho determined to give up the ants
and cling only to the hogs. The resolution
was easily made. But how to give up the
ants?—oh, that was harrowing. The far
mer got out his two sons and three spades
and started to dig up the nest. In two min
utes after breaking ground the impractica
bility of mingling excavation with war dance
and profanity became painfully evident, and
he and hi« beirs retired to disrobe ami apply
arnica, and ponder new methods of revenge.
Next day he poured two pounds of powder
down tire msiri hatch and touched it off.
This blew half a million of auts to kingdom
come, and excited the rest, but next morning
they were at work again, cheerful as ever,
haviog just discovered where the farmer
kept his corn meal. Then he poured a gal
loo of kero»ene oil down the hole and set it
on fire. The ants didn’t like this, but kept
holiday In the c liar while the thing was
blazing, and came ont again. Then the far
mer tried hot water, vinegar, nitric acid, mo
lasses, Paris green and ammooia. He built
bonfires over the nest by night and rammed
gunpowder and nitro glycerine in it by day.
No use. He tried ptayer—the ants got
away with bis bag of cracked wheat. He
tried profanity—they invaded big pork bar
rel.
He sat down in calm despair—they crawl
ed up hit trousers and chewed the calmness
right out of him. He diasembleJ—ha, ha I
yes—he dissembled, and he watched. One
day he saw an ant crawl along the top of a
new empty cracker box and on a straw to
the muzzle of a beer bottle near by, look
down the abyss and then drop in. The dis
covery was made! The farmer danced a
solemn festal dance, got oat his old bottles,
and waited for night. Next morning the
unsuspecting insects rose, and came out to
disport themselves. Around the main en
trance to their labyrinth, there were five
small but corious looking holes. They in
vestigated. One deputation dropped io af
ter another, but not one came back. The
camp was thrilled with curiosity. The rush
to the holes was tremendous—till, towards
evening, not an ant coaid be found, when
the farmer came forth, nneartbed the dem
ijohn*, built a huge fire, and consigned fif
teen gallon* of ants to perdition. The plan
is so simple and yet so efficacious. All I ex
as is in arms and ecstacy. digging around
ant nests and planting bottle*. The farmer
has been presented with a gold medal by the
city council of Galveston, aod the public
spirited citizeos of Uovalds voted him a card
of thanks in the Cattle Dealer of the 23J.

A Dlugilsted Cnnrt.
It was in Lumpkin. Stewart county, in the
year 18—. Two rich, influential citizens
fell nut about the ownership of a pin* table.
A. sued out a possessory warrant against B.
for it, and employed R 8. Worrell, than
whom there is no better lawyer, to prosecute
his right*.
Defendant engaged Burrell K. Harrison,
eminent for his abilities nnd keen wit, to de
fend.
The ca*e was ttied before Justice Wilkin*,
who gave judgment to the plaintiff Harri
son sued ont a writ of certiorari. The
Superior Court rev rsed the decision and
remanded the case; for a new trial. At the
next trial the defendant gained. Plaintiff
sued out a writ of terlinrari It was sus

new bearing.

whistle shrill. Considerable feeling existed
on both sides, and seemed likely to lead to
bloody noses and cracked crowns—as well
as law.
Counsel for plnintiff appeared, backed by
numerous law books, which h“ ostentatiously
displayed on an impromptu table. Burrell
came in, looked aghast at the formidable
weapons of his antagonist for a moment—
only a moment —and the superabundant love
of mischief and tun rose within him Going
to his office hard by, he filled his long arms
with law books, regardless of their applica
tion to the cast?, brought them into the
court-house, fixed up a table and spread
them with great gusto before the court.
Returning, the waggish counsel got a wheel
barrow, filled it with books, hired a negro,
and bade him roll it to thp court-house

"Roady for the defendant, J|r: Harrison ?"
“Yes. sir.”
"Mr. Worrell, da you expect to read all

“Yes, sir, very important case, your honor.

A Short Novel.
Mr. Fronde send* ns a little novel which
we print with pleasure and in *m»H type*
as it is paid for by the foot ;
It is autumn.
Yes, merry, golden tinted antmnn. The
sun poured down its mellow rays on the
laughing fields of gram, and all natore seemed
to r juice in the gladness of the harvest.
The little birds twitter! and sang their
sweetest and cheeriest notes in the branches
of the old oak trees that skirted the foot
of a cloud topped hill, while the big ones
sut stiff and looked at them. Far away to
the right lay a va«t mtrsh, in which wa'er
cres-iw, rweet smelling sedges, and bullfrogs
gently mingled.
Don’t forget that it was a prelty sight.
Suddenly a boat was seen shooting ont
from the mo-my bunks that encircle the
marsh like a chaplet of laurel. In the lit
tle cruft are rented a young inun and a
maiden ; lie strong limbed ami handsome,
his dice hronxed by the kisses of the burn
ing sun and scent laden breezes; she fair and
delicate like the lily, or a Chicago base ball
club.
With powerful strokes he sends the bnnt
shooting through the water, while the rip
ples fall away on either side Suddenly the
miidcn utters a faint shriek, nnd a pallor
o'ersprends her lovely countenance.
She has sren a bnllfrog.
One hand drops nerveless by her side and
from it fell her hat—a dainty thing of straw
-and canvass trimmed with flowers. The
young man at once plunged into the water
to recover the hat. The cruel waves closed
over his fair yojng head, the last thing seen
being the part in the middle of it.
But he omitted to come up again.
After waiting until it was a betting point
that he had gone to stay, the maiden rose
in the boat Hnd gave a despairing shriek.
"Dead, dead for a duck hat,” she moaned,
nnd fell over the starboard side, never know
ing that she had got off a good thing.

Killing of the James Brothers.
Now that a terrible mortality has broken
out among the James boys, we feel that it is
but justice to a fnmily who have receiver! so
many gratuitous obituary notices, to say
that the James bovs are still alive and eo*
joying a reasonable amount of health and
strength. Although the p pen a r e gener
ally agreed upon Ihe statement that they are
more or less dead, vet in a few days the
telegraph will announce their death again.
They are dying on every hand. Hardly a
summer zephyr stirs the waving grass that
it does not bear upon its wings the dying
gronn of the James boys. Every blast of
winter howls the requiem of a James hoy.
James boys hsve died in Texas and Minne
sota, in New England and on the Pacific
const. They have been yielding up the
ghost whenever they had a leisure moment.
They would rob a bank nr a printing office,
or some other place where wealth is known
to be stored, and then they would die.
When business was very active one of the
brothers wonld stay at home and attend to
work, while tbc other wonld go and lay
down his life. Whenever the yellow fever
let op for a little the Grim De*treyer woaljl
go 'or a James boy and send him to hia long
home. Tbc men who have personally and
individually killed the James boys from timo
to time, contemplate bolding a ma«g meeting
nnd forming a new national party. This
wiil no doubt be Ihe governing party next
year, let us institute a reform. Let os
ignore the death of every ping who claims
to be a James bo_v, ank ss be identifies him
self. Let us examine the matter and see if
the trade mark is on every wrapper or blown
m the bottle before we fill the air with woe
and burnt the broad canopy of heaven wide
open with onr lamentations over the untimely
death of the James boys. If we sncceed in
standing them off while they live, we can
afford to control onr grief and ailen’ly battle
with our emotions when they are still io
death, until we know we are snorttng and
bellowing over the correct corpse.— Ex
