“KENTUCKY GIRL.”
0 sinners hark whilst I relate
What happened in Kentucky State;
A p ior young woman lately died,
And dropped from all her wealth and pride.
She once professed the Lord to know,
And did with saints to meeting go;
But the young sinners drew her mY,
Which brought her soon at saints to scoff.
While in this case, bold death did come,
To drag her to her endless home.
When she lay on her dying bed,
She called her friends and thus sho said:
“My days are spent, my soul is lost,
And all my hopes in Christ is crossed;
Oh ! Mama Mama, fare you well,
Ye ny } ' \ , I -It- inm-r-, : qT;»..!!,
And father brother, sister too,
I now must bid you all adieu;
When I am gone remember well.
Your sistor Betsy screams iu hell'’
She wept, she groaned, and sobbed and cried,
While friends were trembling by her side.
She still grew worse, all help did fail,
And death the monster did prevail,
She closed her eyes, her nails turned blue,
And thus she bid the world adieu,
While weeping friends cried round her bed,
“Oh is poor Betsy, Betsy dead ?”
They brought her coffin, nailedhor in.
And removed the awful paintul scene;
Her corpse was laid into the ground,
While many tears were shed around.
Great God how Jo tho parents mourn
To hear the clods a tumbling in ?
Oh! Botsy, Betsy fare you well!
l'our tender soul now screams in hell.
Mossy Creek, May 14 18S0.
Moonshiners and Mormons.
The Atlanta papers commenting upon
the strango success the Mormon miss¬
ionaries are having in Georgia. The
killing of Standing, a Mormon prophet,
a year or more ago at Catoosa, was no¬
ticed especially from the fact that it
appeared that he had sought an out-of
the way and apparently unpromising
field for making converts. But if late
reports are true, the Mormon preachers
have multi plied iu that part of the state,
and have had a notable success. In
Gilmer, Fannin, Lumpkin and Pickens
counties, in north Georgia, large colo¬
nies of converts have been collected
and many have already gone to Utah,
One party of twenty-five, all but five of
them women, left Fanmn county a few
weeks since. The Constitution says that
the converts belong generally to the
respectable and well-to-do class of small
farmers. Those who have reached
Utah write back glowing accounts of
tboir reception and of the prosperity of
the Latter-day Saints. The district in¬
fected by Mormonism is also infected
with moonshiners. Between the two
there may be no connection, but they
raustaddfto the varieties of Georgia life.
Emory Speer represents the congression¬
al district in which these counties lie,
and is very properly an independent in
politics. We know he is soiid with the
moonshiners, but if the Mormon boom
continues be will have to make some
early declaration as to the saints.—

A young lady sent twenly-five cents
a postage stamp in reply to an ad
vertisment of ‘How to make an impres¬
and received an answer, ‘Sit down
a pan of dough!’
That Boy.
Litle Roek Gazoete,
Tho other day a lady, accompanied
by her son, a very small boy, boarded a
train at Little Rock. The woman had
a careworn expression hanging over her
face like a tattered veil, and many of
the rapid questions asked by the boy
were answered by unconscious sighs.
‘Ma/ said the boy, ‘that man’s like a
baby, ain’t he?’ pointing to a bald
headed man sitting just in front of
them.
“Hush,’
‘Why must I hush V
After a few moments si’enee, ‘Ma,
what's the matter with that man's
head V
‘Hush I tell yon- He’s bald.’
‘What’s bald f
‘His head hasn't got any hair on it.’
‘Did it come off f
‘I guess so.’
‘Will mine come off?’
‘Some time, may be.’
‘Then I’ll be bald, won’t I ?’
‘Yes.’
‘will you care V
‘Don't ask so many questions.'
After another silence, the boy ac¬
claimed. ‘Ma, look at that fly on that
man’s head.
‘If you don’t hush, Pll whip you
when we get home.'
‘Look ! there's another fly. Look at
'qm fight; look at 'em !'
‘Madame!’ said the man, putting
aside a newspaper aDd looking around,
‘what’s the matter with that young hy¬
ena?’
Tho woman blushed, stammered out
something, back and attempted to smooth
tho boy's hair.
‘One fly, two fly, three flies!' said the
boy, innocently, following with his eyes
a basket of oranges carried by the
newsboy.
‘Here, you young hedge hog!’ said
the baldheaded man, ‘if you don’t hush
I’ll make the conductor put you off the
train !’
The poor woman, not knowing what
else to do, boxed tho boys ears and then
gave him an orange to keep him from
crying.
‘Ma, have I got some red ~ irks rn
my head ?’
YHil cl-vy c KtW _
‘Mister,’ said the boy, after a, short
silence, ‘does id hurt to be baldheaded ?’
‘Youngster,’ said the man, ‘if you’li
keep quiet I'll give you a quarter.’
The boy promised and the money was
paid over.
The man took his paper and resumed
his reading.
‘This is mv bald headed money,’ said
the boy. ‘When I get baldbeaded I'm
goin’ to give boys money. Mister, have
all bald headed men got money ?
The annoyed man throw down his
paper, arose and exclaimed: ‘Madam,
hereafter, when you travel leave that
young gorilla at home. Hitherto I al¬
ways thought that tho old prophet was
very cruel for calling the she bears to
kill children for making sport of his
head, but now I am forced to believe
that he did a Christian act. If your
boy had been.in the crowd be would
have died first. If I can’t find another
seat on this train I’ll rido ou the cow¬
catcher rather than remain here.’
‘The baldbeaded man is gone.' said
the boy, and the woman leaned back
and blew a tired sigh from her lips.
They Stopped Winking,
Among the passengers who boarded
the Charleston train at Summerville
the other day, was a bride and groom
of the regular holly-hock order. Al¬
though the car was full of passengers
the pair began to pqueeze hands and
hug as soon as they were seated, This
of course attracted attention, and pret¬
ty soon everybody was nodding and
winking, and several persons so far for¬
got themselves as to laugh outsright.
By and by the broad-shouldered and
red headed groom became aware of the
fact that he was being ridiculed and
be unlinked himself to the height of
six feet, looked up and down the aisle
and said:
‘There seems to be considerable nod¬
ding and winking around here because
I’m hugging the girl who was married
to me at 7 o’clock this morning, If
the rules of this railroad forbid a man
from hugging his wifejafter he’s paid fare
then I’m going to quit/ feut if the rules
don’t and this winking and blinking
isn’t bitten short off when we pass the
next mile post, Pm goiDg to begin on
the front seats and create a rising mar¬
ket for false teeth and crutches l
If there was any more winks aDd
blinks in the car the groom didn’t catch
'em at it,— Charleston Sunday limes .

GORDON’S RETIREMENT.
Why Re Resigned.
A special Washington dispatch to the
Courier-Journal reads as follows.
Within twenty-four hours General
Gordon will cease to bo a Senator from
Georgia. He is led to take this step
because he is a poor man, and finds it
impossible, with justice to himself and
his family, to remain loDger in public
life. Numerous interests of his own
have been long suffering for want of
proper attention, and now an opportu¬
nity is presented to him to repair the
fortunes which have been broken by
his long public life. The loss will bo a
severe the one to Georgia, the Senate and
Democratic party.
Senator Gordon has been in tho ser¬
vice of tho public since his 30th year,
and he is now a little more than forty
eight. Few men have stood so high in
the estimation of their people, and
none have more deserved the honors
bestowed upon him. The legislature of
Georgia have just re-elected' him to the
Senate, bis term not expiring until 1885.
In the Senate his influence has always
been conservative aud healthy. No one
in that body ha3 been more respected,
and he has always acted in such a way
as to inspire thinking men of the North
with tho fact that ^e Southern people
are sincerely desirous of peace and are
' D cor< U a l line for the restored
No man h« has done ---- more .^n than
he to promote the interests of the
whole country by advocating the for¬
getting of the*strife in which he bore
so conspicuous a part. He has been
one of that corterie of Senators, amoug
whom are Lamar and Hampton, whose
patriotic and conservative course has
done much to make the South trusted.
He will retire with the regret of all who
have watched him here. Governor
Colquitt made every effort to induce
him to reconsider his determination,
but he was not seccessfnl.
A Scene In Cliureh.
Mr. Callamore is very deaf. Last
Sunday in the midst of the services Mr.
Hoff, who sits immediately behind Mr.
Callamore, saw a spider traveling over
the latter’s bald head. His first im¬
pulse was to mudgo him and tell him
ha '■oruemhired that Mr,
Oallamoro was deaf, so he liftea up his
hand and brushed the spider off, Hoff
didn’t aim quite high enough and con¬
sequently, iu bis nervousness, he hit
Callamore quite a severe blow. The old
gentleman turned around in a rage to
see.who had dared to take such liber¬
ty with him, and Hoff'began to explain
with gestures the cause of the occur¬
rence. But Callamore. in a loud voice,
demanded what he meant. It w’as pain¬
ful to Hoff. Tho eyes of tho whole
congregation were upon him, and he
grew red in the face, and in desperation
exclaimed* 'There was a spider ou
your head.’ ‘A wliito place on ray head
bey? ‘.S’posen there is, what'3 that to
you?’ said Callamore. ‘You’ll know
what it is to bo baldheaded youself
someday’ ‘It was a spider,’ shrieked
Hoff, while the congregation smiled,
and tho perspiration began to roll off
his faco. ‘Certainly it’s wider,' said
Callamore, 'and got more in it than
yours. But you let it alone, do yon
mind ? Y'ou let my head alone in
church.’ ‘Air. Callamore,’ shrieked Hoff
‘there was a bug on your head and
I brushed it off-this way,’ and Hoff
made another gesture at Callamore's
head. The old man thought be was
going to fight him then ana there,‘and
hurling his hymn book at Hoff, he seiz¬
ed the kneeling stool on the floor of the
pew, and was about to bang Mr. Hoff,
whon the sexton interfered. An expla
nation was written on the fly-leaf of the
hymn book, whereupon Mr Callamore
apologized in a boisterous Voice, and
resumed his seat. Then the services
proceeded. They think of asking Air.
Callamore to worship elsewhere.
‘Prisoner at the bar,’ said the Judge
to a man on trial for murder, ‘is there
anything yon wish to say before sen¬
tence is passsed upon you?’ ‘Judge,'
replied the prisoner solemnly, ‘Judge
there has been altogether too much
said already. I knew all along some¬
body would get hurt if these people
didn’t keep their mouths shut. It
might as well be me, perhaps, as any¬
body else. Drive on judge, and give us
as little sentiment as yon can get aloDg
on. I can stand hanging, but I hate
gush!’
A Yankee came running down to a
pier just as a steamor was starting.
The boat moved off some four or five
yards as he took a jump, and coming
down on the back of his head on the
deck, he lay stunned for two minutes.
When he came to, the boat had gone
the best part of a quarter of a mile, and
raising his head and looking to the
the Yankee said. ‘Great Jehose

Concealed Weapons.— Tho New
Orleans barkeeper who was shot and
killed by a negro, lost his life for about
as small a reason as any on record, the
quarrel between the two men having
been over ten cents. Probably, how¬
ever, the real cause of the crime was
the fact that the murderer carried a
pistol. To the reprehensible and gen¬
erally senseless habit of carrying con¬
cealed wmapons, is to be attributed
more than half the murders that occur.
Men who quarrel have seldom any hes¬
itation about using any weapons they
have at command. When their entire
armory consists of fists and tongues, the
lattor are likely to do all tho business,
for to strike witn the fist may bring a
harder blow in return; but thep'stol at
short range is so safo and effective
that the hand literally itches for it, and
thousands of quarrels have proved that
even amoug gentlemen, the mere habit
of carrying arms is just as likely to re¬
sult disastrously as if one party to a
disaster was a barkeeper and tho other
a negro.
, During a thunder storm at Prov
incetown, Massachusetts Thursday
afternoon, Captain Elijah Doano and
another man were out in tho harbor
in a largo sailboat. Tho lightniDg
struck the mast, and following it down
went through the bottom of the boat,
sinking her almost instantly. The men
took to the dory and reached the shore
safely. They did not feel the shock
of the lightning, and hardly know what
the trouble was until they reached the
shore, when tho crowd who had been
watching told them that the boat bad
been struck by lightning.
