Why he Didn’t Explain-
Som** eight or ten years ago a sil
[ very-tongued chap who claimed to be
| a fruit tree agent swindled the farmers
of this county in a shameful manner,
and one resident of Nankin was so
mad about it that he came to Metro,
it, searched the rascal out, and gave
him a pounding on the street. After
he got through his work he told the
fellow that he would lick him twice as
had if he ever put eyes on hint again
and it was a threat to be remember*
ed and nursed. About three weeks
ago the Nankmman was travelling in
Washtenaw county, and as he jour
neyed along the highway he met a
traveler who so closely resembled the
fruit-tree swindler that he halted and
called out :
Here you are again, you bold faced
rascal 1
Yes, I’m here, was the calm re
ply.
Well, so’m I, and I’m going to lick
you until you can’t holler ! I said I’d
do it, and I always keep my word.
Climb down here.
The stranger “dumb" without a
protest, shedding his coat as he
struck the ground, and a fight began.
In about two minutes he had used up
the farmer and was cooly replacing
his coat.’
See here, s <id the man from Nan
kin as he wiped his nose with a bur
dock, you fight better than you did
eight years ago.
Well, I dunno. This is my first af
fair with you.
Didn’t I wallop you in front of
the Detroit post office eight years
ag* ?
No, sir, I was in Australia up to a
year ngo.
Aud you nevor saw mo before ?
Never 1
And was never in Fankiu?
Never 1
Well, I'll bo hanged* Sinco I
come to look a', you I can eee that
yon aro not thn man! Why on
earth didn’t von explain, or ask me
to? You must nave thought mo
mistaken.
Ah, you, I Knew you wore mista
ken, but I had just discovered that
I had driven sovon miles on the
wrong road and was wishing some
one would come ntong aud give mo
two words of ease. I didn t want
any explan itioim about it. A rot
ten sweet apple will cure that black
eye in throe or four days, and salt
and water will tighton your frnt
terth iu a week or so. I lovl fifty
per cent better, and I'm over so
much obliged. B*'long to you.—

Georgia export- co toi r c*, 1 mil er,
iron, wool, naval stores, water-melons,
sweet potatoes, early vegetables and
peaches. We should not import eith
er meats or breadstuffs, and very soon
we will not. We need not in the
good days a coming import anything
except some kinds of manufactured
goods and machinery. The balance
of trade is this year in our favor, and
in the years that are to follow ft ought
to he largely so. If. in other words
the farmers {of Georgia would avail
themselves of home maikets for meats
and breadstuffs the state would grow
rich faster, perhaps, than any state in
this country ever did.

A Strange Animal.
From the Sumter, O-i., Republican.
Policeman J W Cobh, while fish
ing in the Muckalee one day last
week in the rear of Ed Littleton's
place, wits startled by tlio appear
ance of a largo animal on the oppo
site side of the creek which came
out ot the jungle of the swamp. He
suyg it was about threo foot high six
or seven toet long, with a short tail
and spotted all over like a hyena.
The animal looked nt him, stretch
itsoll on its legs, opened its mouth
which wits armed with formidable
tusks about as long as a man’s fin
gers. The animal wont behind a
tree and peeped at Cobh for a few
seconds and then disappeared iu
the ctnebrake, and Cobb mado
tracks for the city nt race horse
speed, although hs declares ho was
not scarod a panicle, was as cool as
he was whon he captured General
Walker. He says that bo dot s not
know what kind of un animal it. was
at first ho thought it a tiger, then a
hyena, or a catamount, and it might
have been a leopard.
Ordering Two Coffins.
Philadelphia Record.
Ou Saturday morning last Mrs A
II Evans, of Tower City, Pa , died.
Mr Evans began making arrange
ments for the funeral of his wife,
ami visited the establishment of Un
dertaker Dreisigncker to select a
coffin. Tho undertaker bad on’y
two caskets on band, both of rose

caskets fora fow minutes. Finalfv,
pointing to one of thorn, he said:
‘That ono will d*> for my wife,’ and,
laying his hand on the other, ‘This
one (or mo.’ He then returned

Milton. Tho young man arrived
between 4 and SJo’clook in the af

death. Grasping his son by tho

A Beautiful Thought.
There is no'hing, no nothing, inno
cent or good, that dies and is for
gotton ; let us hold to that faith or
none. An infant, a prattling child,dy
ing in the cradle, will live again in the
better thoughts of those that loved it,
and play its part through them in the
redeeming actions of the world,
though its body is burnt to ashes, or
drowned in the deep sea. I-'oi gotten f
Oil, if the deeds of human creatures
could be traced to their source, liow
beautiful would even death appear!
for how much charity, mercy and pu
rified affection would be seen to have
their growth in the dusky graves.—•

The costliest pair of shoes ancf
stockings ever heard of are said to
have lieen worn by a New York lady
at the White Sulphur Springs during
the season just closed. The shoes
cost #39, and the stockings were val
ued at #9O. They were made of
black silk, anil midway between the
ankle and the knee was a green tree
embroidered in silk, and resting upon
the branches of the tree were bright
pl'.'.maged birds, some in the act of (ly
ing. Oh fbc 'bulge' or largest part of
the stocking was a huntsman, clad in
red thirt and trousers, taking aim at
the birds in the tree. Upon the in
step was the monogram of the lady
wrought iu gold letters, between the
knee and upper part of the stocking
were eighteen narrow bands Of vary
ing hues; A reporter tells this story
but he does not explain how he ob
tained the description.
S*stee years ago Mr L W Sco
