Sinee the recent trouble hetween

become the topic of conversation
everywhere, it mmay not be araiss

The old veterans shake their
heads and say, “We have had
enough of it, but you younger
boys may try it.”
The Mexicau war, forty years
ago, was fought mostly by South.
ern men. If there is another
war shall it be so again?
What is the law controlling the
provisions of general organization
of the army? :
Act, passed July 2Sth, 1866, and
still emboriied in revised Statutes,
section 1217, reads: “Jo person
who has served in the military,
naval, or civil service of the so
called Confederate States, or of
either of the States in insurrection
during the late rebellion, shall be
appointed to any position in the
army ot the United States.”
There was an effori to repeal
this proscription law against the
South daring the last Congress.
Fiery speeches against the South
and her people were indulged in
by unreconstiucted Northerners.
We do noet remember whether the
act was repealed or not. If net,
how can any Southern man vol
unteer?
The law is most proseriptive
against all who took any part in
our war, waged for defense,against
an invading army. It makés us
rebels and insurrectionists, and it
carries with it a suggestion that
no Confederates are worthy of
trust to hold office in the lederal
army.
Under this law Southern men
would be officered by Yankee offi
cers. Is it not time forall South
ern youag men to cease to talk of
fighting the Mexicans? Let us
be distinetively enough Southern

The Rewarkable Gastronomie Taste
of Xr. 6. F. MeQueen, the
Stock Rreeder.
Mr. G. F. MeQueen, of this city,
at one time tonnected with the
Kentucky stoek farm, has quite a
local reputation ns an eater, 1
had a long talk with him, and he
says ho has eaten along the whole
line of dishes—American, Fng
lish, German, French and [talian.
He appreciates oysters in all their
forms, chicken and tender frog
legs, and when real hungry, cun
tackle corn-bread and sow-belly.
But for a dish that will make the
gods smack their lips in genuine
satisfaction, give him fat black
snake fried in butter or lard, or
better in nice snake oil. When
snakes are in season he eats them
every few days. He also classes
snails among his list of delicacies. |
These he cooks with macaroni.
“When did you first commence
eating snakes?” esked the report-
“In 1858 I was in California
among the Indians. They ate
snakes, genetally black and rat
tlesnakes. I once tasted a piece
of the latter, which they had
cooked. I found it had a delicate
flavor, but I did not then like the
idea of eating snakes. This le
pugnance, I found, was only an
idea, there being no reason for it.
I came home to Franklin county,
Ky., in 1859. While at home I
went out in a clearing, near my
father’s house, and saw an old
Irisli hermit, who had resided
there many years, kill a black
snake. He started to his cabin
with it, dragging it behind Lim.
He laid it out on a plank, cut off
the head and threw the body in a
bed of hot ashes to skin it. I
asked him what he was going to
do. He said he was going to eat
it; that it was fine food, and invi
ted me to sup with him. I com
plied with his request. After
u}ziuuh!’g ithe'laid 7% in salt aud
water for awhile. He then fiied
it in butter and lard, and 1t was
really delicions. The more I ate
the mwore I wanted. Since that
time I have had a weakness for
snake meat, especiailly black
snake. lam afraid of ths meat
of rattlesnakes. I often give a
half dollar for a good sizad black
snake, which I cook myself. Ev
ery yeir I manage to get some.
Since I have been in Lexington I
have not been fortunate enough
to indulge my tasto as often as I
would like. Good, nice, fat black
snakes are scarce in old settled
counties like this, and I have to
get them from other places. An
old man who lives in one of the
mountain counties, and is a trap
per and hunter, and also appreci
ates the delicacy, often sends me
black snake oil, which I use to iry
doughnuts in.”
[At this juncture the speaker
opeuned a little handbag, which he
is in the habit of carrying all the
time, and from it took a doughnut
fried in snake oil. DBreaking it in
two, he ate half with great ‘gusto,
proffering the other half to your
reporter. |
“Not any, thanks,” replied the
reporter to his pressing invitation
to “try it.” :
“It is splendid. A snake eats
nothing but what is nice and clean,
and it stands to reason that it is
good. It does not eat filth like a
hog.”

We were ot tu%Aaabfiue Junec

buld head and a professional look
about him—he was one of the five
of us who were waiting—gave ut
terance to ome of the biggest
oathes in the swearing calendar, ‘
and took a step or two forward. ‘
We saw that his “attention had
been atiracted toa good looking
woman who was in the company
of a rather oldish and good look
ing man. The woman left her
husband--for so the man proved
to be-—and walked right up to our
friend and held out her hand and
said:
“Shake! Charlie! You aren’t
looking exactly well. Divorce
and all that doesn’t seem to agree
with you first rala. Let me intro
duce yon to mv hub.”
“No! Never.’ yaspe | the man.

“Oh, woll, just as you please.

“For God’s sak2 go away!”
“All right, Che -lie, but I sup

We didn’t get al. :g together very
well a 3 man and wife, but we
shouldn’t lay wn» any grudges
How's the folks . home? How’s
your business d.ing? Anybody
dead or married sinec I left?
Say, Charlie, what did the papers
say about ma, anyhows”
He held up his hands as if to
keep her back, and she laughingly
said:
“Bah! but I ain't going to hurt
you! If you are going to stop
here for an hour or two -come "up
to our room end we'll talk over
old times.”
With that she bowed and turn
ed away, while our friend began
pacing the long platform. One
of the others understood the case
and whispered to us:
“He was divoreed from her two
years ag» and it noearly drove him
crazy. She was and is a schem
ing, heartless, f:ithless woman.
Lands! but how d2re she talk to
him after that [i:}ionl”
About fifteen minates to train
time we went in to see about our
loggage, leaving the man still
walking. We had scarcely left
the platform bcfore a special
camo dashing pst. We heard
the whistle and tbe bell and the
roaring, and the sounds had not
di>d away when there was a shout
of horror from the platform. The
divorced husband had flung him
g2lf under the train, and when it
had passeed, his body was a man
gled corpse.
The woman came down from
the sitting room into the erowd
and asked what had happened.
Some cne told her that a man had
flung himself under the wheels,
and she was given a description
of the victim.
" “Why, that's my old Charlie!”
she exclaimed, as slie raised ‘her
hands., “Now, what could have
possessed him to o sach a thing!
Why, it'’s so funny —so very, very
funny that he'd let himself be
ground up thatway!”
She ran back 1o the edge of the
crowd to tell her asband, and as
she explained the horror to him
she tapped him co the shoulder
and said: *

STAKED THE PREACHER.
A gentleman from Dakota tells
us how the fund was started for
‘building the first Mathodist church
in Bismarck. The town was young
and was practically in possession
of the gamblers. Faro banks and
all sorts of gambling schemes were
ran openly and without fear. One
large gambling establisment was
situated in a hug. tent near the
center of the town, and thithar
went the Rav. Mre. Ball, who
halcome to Bismarck to establish
& Methodist church. Mounting a
poker table in the middle of the
thickly erowded tent, Mr. Bnll pro
ceeded to speak for Christ.- At
once the busy gamblers laid down
their chips and turned to jeering
the preacher, some of them even
pelting at him with whatever came J
easiest to hand.
~ Presently the slender form of
Dennis Hannifan, the boss gamb
ler and feather-weight champion of
the place, arose and moved toward
the preacher. :
“Hold on, bays,” said Dennis,
“this is no way to treat a stranger.
I know u thing worth two o’ this.”
At +this Dennis taok off his hat
and passed it around among the
gamblers, who each put in a chip.
And, taking up the strange collec.
tion; Dennis walked up to the table,
dumped the hatfal cf chips upon it
and said:
“There you are, stranger; that's
for you.”
“Buat,” said the clergyman, “what
am I to do with it?”
“Well,” replied Dennis, “it’s
yours, and you ean do what yon
please with it. You can cash it
or buck it, just as yoa like.”
“Buck it?” said the .clergyman,
Swhatla thaty? .
“Yhy, play it in, you know; bet
it on one of the games.”
Mr. Ball prefered to cash the
“chips in,” so he went to the pro
pietor of the place, got $l7 for the
chips, and with that sum began

Chased by a Mad Dog.
From the Ameiicus (3a.) Republican.
One day last week a yonng lady
of Webster, a danghter of R. J.
Gordon, was tiking 2 walk down
the road by her father’s house
when she saw a strange dog mak
iog towards her. She opened a
high gate to the yard and passed
through, shuatting it. The dog
jnmped the gate and she stepped
back into the road. The dog
jumped’it again after her, and
again she weut into the lot. He
followed, over the gate, and Miss
Gordon slipped through into the
road. The dog went over the
gate again after her, and she re
turned through the gate, and be
ing thoroughly frightened ran for
the kouse. The dog jumped the
gate and followed. Fear lont the
young girl fleetness, and she fell
up the steps on to the veranda
and crawled into the door with
the dog snapping at her. He
caught the sleeve of her dress in
hiis mouth as she crawled into the
door and slammed it, then jump
ing up she ran to the back door
and slammed it. The dog was
then eoming up the steps, and she
pushed him out with the door.
Going to the window she saw the
dog start for her mother, who was
in the yard. The old lady got
into the kitcher, with the dog
snapping at her heels. She shut
him out and ran to the back door,
where the dog was rushing in,
but she caught him with the door
ni;ainst the facing and he strug
gled back into the yard. An old
negro man got a gun and killed
the brate, carried it off and buried
it, saying: “I doan wantder buz
zards to get dis dorg, for dey’ll
