I “interviewed” a train-boy coming
down and obtained some valuable in
formation concerning tho peculiarities
of his arduous profession. Everybody
who travels understands what a train
boy is. "Peanuts” is the cognomen
by which he is known to railroad men.
lie has a way of bringing himself and
his wares into notice, and is not oasily
evaded. He is the particular horror
of some folks, the annoyance of others,
and the amusement of a few, just as
we are disposed to look at people
with whom wo are thrown in contact.
He caters to the tastes of his custom
ers, whether they want peanuts or
poetry, fictions or figs, and, if their
condition demands an application of
prize candy, he is ready with that.
A shrewd judge of human nature is
“Peanuts,” and ho rareiy makes a
mistake on a passenger, so, if he re
serves tho higher class literature for
other passengers and drops a blood
and-thunder romance or a comic al
manac into your lap, you may as well
accept at once the round he has as
signed you on the intellectual ladder
and roost there.
The particular “Peanuts” whom I
interviewed the other day has been in
tho business about eight years, and
unites natural shrewdness with a long
and varied experience in struggling
with the railroad passenger. 1 don’t
claim tho credit of having picked up
“Peanuts,” for 1 Peanuts,” in reality,
picked up me. I stepped into the for
ward car to smoke a cigar after break
fast, and “Peanuts,” who was await
ing tho return of the passengers from
the dining hall with a tempting array
of prize candy, apples, cigars, and
cheap literature, opened conversation
and drew out numerous particulars re
garding my destination and business,
almost before 1 knew it. It then oc
cured to me to interview “Peanuts,”
and, as ho proved communicative, this
was no difficult tiling to do. The in
terview ran about as follows;
Question — “How long have you
been a train boy Y”
Peanuts —“About eight years.”
Question —“What were you doing
before you went into this business
Peanuts —“I was in Prof Delian’s
Commercial College. Smart man, De
lian is. lie takes a boy right out of
the cornfield and makes a first-class
book-keeper of him in s'x weeks”
Q —“ What is the most you liavo
made at it ?”
Peanuts—“l have made as high as
three linndred dollars a month run
ning out of Chicago. Can’t make as
much on this lino. The Chicago roads
are tho best in this country for our
business, three to one.”
Question —“What kind of books do
you sell most of V”
Peanuts—“ Works of fiction. Scien
tific books sell pretty well—‘Win
chell’s Vestiges of Creation,’ for in
stance —that is a sensation book, how
ever.”
Q —“ What novelist is the favorite ?”
Peanuts—" Mrs. Stowe ; sell more of
her books than those of any other wri
ter. Tennyson is the favorite poet.
Don't sell many of Dickens’ or Thack
eray’s novels. Charles Lead is very
popular ; so is Holmes. Mark Twain
lias sold well, and Hillings : both fal
len ulf. \Suid i.-u’t touched any
more.”
Q —r" What books do you make the
most profit on V”
Peanuts—“ High priced books. 1
never offer a cheap book to a man
who looks as though he had intelli
gence. A man ot reading, who knows
what a book is, is flattered a little to
have me lay nij - most select authors be
fore hiui, don’t you see ?—and ten
chances to one he will buy a book of
me whether he wants it or not, in or
der to confirm my judgment of him.
1 tell you, every man lias his weak
spot.”
Q— "What magazines sell the
best T”.
Pea nuts — “Harpe r’s Monthly ;
Scribner’s next. Sell two of Harper’s
to one of any other. Galaxy and Old
and New sell moderately. I.tell you
what, I’ve sold a heap of this. ‘Expose
of Masonry,” full ot pictures of coffins,
skulls and” hobgoblins. The pictures
sell it. Small cuts are of no account
to sell a book. They must be full
page pictures,”
B—“ Cigar trade good ?”
Peanuts —“It don’t amount to much.
\\ T e smoko more of them ourselves
than wo sell. Fruits sell well in sea
son. 1 have sold as high as fifty dol
lars’ worth of California pears in one
Jay. But that was on the Chicago
and Milwaukee road.”
Q “Who are your best custom
ers:”’
Peanuts— “ People who travel a good
deal. Take men and women who
don’t ride on the railroad very often,
and they havn’t time to read, they are
so busy looking ; and they bring their
own cakes and apples. Public men
are good customers, as a general
thin o- . I have traded w ith about ail
the public men in the country.”
q “Whom did you find the most
liberal ?’ ’
Peanuts—“ Brick Pomeroy was the
most liberal man I ever had. He
would buy everything. I sold him
thirty-two* dollars’ worth on one trip.
Frank Blair is tho worst customer
■ amoll them public fellers 1\ e bad
him ten limes, and never sold him a
cents’ worth. Tho other boys say
the same thing ’
Q—“ How do you know t
PGauuts—“Why, when we get to
gether wo compare notes. “Who did
yju liavo to-day, Bill ? I says ‘Frank
Blair,’ sajs Bill, ‘and ho wasn t worth
DAWSON. GA.. THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1872.
the price of a yesterday’s pupsr. Who
did you have ?’ Then I says ‘I had
Curl Schurz,’ for instance, ‘and he
brought mo in four dollars and a half,’
so you can sec we got these fellows
down pretty closo.”
Q—“ What other celebrities have
you had ?'
Peanuts—" Well, thore is Ben But
lei. Had him and Banks together
one day. Butlor is liberal, so is
Banks. Banks bought five dollars’
worth of prize candy. I sold Purepa
Rosa thirteen dollars’ worth of prize
candy over between Milwaukee and
Chicago. Oh, they will all buy it
(this with a w - ink.) Olive Logan looks
at all the books, but don’t buy any.
Cady Stanton buys fruit. Gough in
vests in one newspaper, which does
him all day. Lingard and Dunning
buy candy liberally.
K«'iiiurkal>l<‘ A ift - < - f ion of a
Many instances have beon given by
travelers of thfe affection shown by
Arabian horses toward their masters ;
and much also has been written to
prove their sagacitv, a3 to make one
believe, at times, that they must be
endued with an instinct which ap
proaches nearly, if not quite, to the
reasoning faculties of a human being.
Be this as it may; we very much
doubt if, among tho feats narrated of
tho horses of tho East, can any one
be found that exceeds in affectionate
devotion the following incident, which
was told us a few days since by the
soldier to whom it occurred. The nar
rator is a young Irishman, and like
many others of his nation, joined,
shortly after his arrival iu America,
Sheridan’s brigade. It was in one of
those forced marches, when they had
driven back the enemy and had been
in the saddle for several consecutive
days and nights, that his trooper avail
ed himself of a temporary halt to slip
from his saddle and stretch himself
upon the turf—his horse, meanwhilo,
browsing in the immediate neighbor
hood. He had slept for some little
time when he was suddenly awakened
by the frantic pawing of his horse at
his side. Fatigued by his long ride,
he did not arouse at once, but lay in
that conscious state which so frequent
ly attends great physical prostration.
Soon, however, the faithful animal
perceiving that its etfoits had failed to
accomplish their object, licked his face,
and placing his mouth close to his ear
uttered a loud snort. Now thorough
ly awake, he sprung up, and, as the
horse turned lor him to mount, he saw
for the first time that his comrades
had all disappeared, and that the ono
my were coming down upon him at
full gallop. Once mounted, tho faith
ful beast bore him with the speed i
tho wind safely from danger, and soon
placed him among his companions.—
“Thus,” he added with emotion, “tho
noble follow saved mo from captivity,
and perhaps from death.
Can there be found on iccord a more
beautiful example of affectionate de
votion, on the part of a dumb bruto
for his master, than this ? Undoubt
edly, similar examples have occurred
during the late European, and our
own civil wars, which will forever be
buried in oblivion. Would that they
might b L eight to l'gbt, their naira
turn could in any way mitigate the
cruelty to which tho horse—notwith
standing the efforts of Mr. Bergh—
is constantly subjected, especially iu
our large cities, where many of the
drivers are more brutal than the beasts
they have in charge.
Two Yt kicks to Bk .in With. —ln a
city in Western New York, renowned
lor its crowded churches on Sundays,
there was one called by way of emi
nence the Brick Church. It was the
first church built of brick in the city.
Its congregations so increased that the
church could not accomodate tlie
crowd. It was old-fashioned and be
hind times. At length, it was resolved
to build anew church. - Meetiugpaf'ter
meeting was held, but the prospects
for anew church grew morg and more
discouraging, until the lgost hopeful
grew disheartened and were ready to
give it "up. Ono morning after a dis
couraging meeting had beon held, the
pastor’s doorbell rang very early. On
opening tho door the servant found a
small boy who inquired for Dr. 8 .
The servant told him that ho hud not
come down, and demanded what he
wanted. "I want to see Dr. 8 ,”
said the boy. Presently Dr. S
came to the door ami found a small
boy with a wheel-barrow three times
as largo as himself, holding two bricks
which lie said he “had brought to
build the new church with.” Tho
doctor put on his hat aud walked
into tho street, saying to every man he
mot, “The church will bo built; the
first load of bricks is on the ground.”
And it was built; a large beautiful
church. Who shall despise tho day
of small things '(
Truth can hardly be expected to
adapt itself to the crooked policy and
wily sinuosities of worldly affairs ; for
truth, like light, travels only in straight!
lines.
Never hire another person to do tho
work which you call well do yourself, |
unless you are suitably employed in ;
some other occupation.
A Persian philosopher being asked
by what methoil ho had acquired so
much knowledge, angered: “By not
being preventld by shame from ask
ing questions ffvlieu I was ignorant.”
The ruin ot most men dates from
some vaeont tour. Occupation is tho
armor of thefsoul. There is a satiri
cai poem’ iu Which the devil is repre
sented as fishing for men, and fitting
his bait to tlufltosto and business of
bis prey ; bidler gave him no
trouble as lioT’ff tho naked hook.

Two Homicides in <.’o>lunil>u«.
The following facts are from the En
quirer of Wednesday S
There were two men killed in Co
lumbus at a late hour Monday night,
and a third was mortally, if not sex-i
--ously wounded. The first of these
unploasant affairs occurred Monday
night, iu which policeman Charlie
Barrow roceivod his death qt tho hands
of George Layfield, a young man,
who, about a week since, arrived in
tho city from St. Louis. Young Lay
field, while under the influence cf
liquor, had been guilty of improper
language and throuts, at the store of
Mr. I. G. Strupper. Mr. Strupper had
ordered him away, and it is said that
Layfield threatened the life of Strup
per. The latter gave a signal aud
soon Policeman Barrow and his part
ner, McMichcal, arrivod and took Lay
field into custody. They were procee
ding with him to the guard house/
when the prisoner jerked loose, step
ped into the door of a bakery, drew
his pistol and commenced firing upon
Bairow, two shots taking effect—on®
in tho forehead and one in the lower
lip. Barrow foil and was soon con
voyed to his home whore ho expired
between two and three o’clock! Lay
field escaped to Girard, where lie was
arrested at a late hour and brought
back to the city and lodged in tho
guard house.
Tho second fatal shooting affair oc
curred at Ella Lee’s house of ill lame,
on Oglethorpe street, iu which Alex
ander McDunald came to his death
from a weapon in tho hands of Milton
Malone. From tho facts elicited at
the coroner’s jury in this caso, held
about 12 o’clock yesterday (Tuesday),
it appears that the deceased and his
friend, James Anderson, bail gone to
tho above place; that subsequently
Malone went in ; that a dispute arose
between Anderson and Malone ; that
McDonald took it up ; that he subse
quently thrust his hand in his pockets
as if to draw a weapon ; that Malono
ceoing it drew his pistol and fired up
on McDonald, tho ball taking effect
through the brain. McDonald lin
gered for some two hours before dy
ing. The testimony was further to
effect that, after shooting McDonald,
Malono was fired upon by Anderson,
which ho (M.) promptly returned, tho
ball entering the abdomen passing out
through the back. Anderson’s wound
is not supposed to be mortal. Mc-
Donald and Anderson, we learn, were
Western sportsmen, who came hero
first on Sunday. McDonald claimed
Indianapolis for his home. He had
on his person a considerable sum of
money aud othor valuables.
