ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 12 1886
Our Story Corner
IN A DILEMMA.
WhitcWwhack! whack!
'■WIi.1t to that?’’ asked Ur. Budd.
Ur. Budd, an American gentleman on a
Vltlt to Eogland, wuskctching on the banka
of a pretty stream in a remote qaartor of
England. Ho was not on arttat, but an amateur
who punted a little, snag a little, played a
little, ud did everything a little. Tatting his
(took and pencils down, be yielded to his
curiosity, and mounting on a pile of loose
ritones, peeped over a board fenoo that separa*
ted the garden of a rickety cottage from tho
goad.
'■I say," Ur. Bndd began, aghast.
A man was beating a woman!
The woman was taking the blows qnletly
enough. The tears wero conning down her
ebooks, tut she ottered no cry.
“I ft}’." cried Mr. Bndd. “Von stop that,
trill you, or Hi-I'il-I’ll call somebody!"
‘‘Vo hold you tongue, yo meddlin' yankee,
yo!" roared the man; "and don’t interfere be*
tween non and wolfs!”
Whack! whack! whack! ‘T’llgie yo onongh
While I’m about it!" Whack!
Ur. Budd was not a "mighty mao, strong in
the artu,’” but ho had pluck, and he had a re
volver in his pocket. The next minute he was
on the inside of the fenoe. The man made at
him liko a furious boll. Ur. Bndd produced
his revolver. The man quailed.
“Areyen goln’ to mo rther Oil” he asked.
“I’m not sore,"said Ur. Budd. “Stop bast,
lux that tt'omau.”
“Oi'To a might to bate her. Hets my wolfs,”
gftld die tuts.
“Nonsense:” asid Ur. Bndd. “Stuff and non.
tense! lias ho hurt you much, poor soul}”
“Not more than common,” tho woman re*
{•lied, phlegmatically.
“And tho nivor dosarved it no more,” said
the man. “Bat look yo here, emitter, tones
yo're tooked a notion to tho last. I’ll mil my
roight to her for a sovereign. Vo gie me a
oov'reign. an’ I’ll gle her oop, I wnil.”
“you’ll not heat hat any more, eh?”
• 1 wiu replied the nun, in an
encoded tone. “I’ll not one o' ihiin ns goes
£*k from a Margin: noanneanuytimtof
"Ahl very well, then,” said Mr. Budd, crisp
in'. “very well. Uere's the sovereign; sad
here, four toolkit a crown plooo for you.
Goodbye, Now, remember; I’ve bought you
And Ur. Budd went over The fence again,
picked up his sketch box ami mgtcmls, pot
Alt bock iu hit pocket, and at it was growing
.. rather Jr!«. huniod away homeward
Such.a Jovely tralx, and ho had JusfrdBnc ‘a
•ftodd deed. The manaoemod to have n cor tain
i senso cf honor, and he had promised nover to
.beat bis wife again, ilr. r.urid walked on
gaily, wondering a little what queer, crunch
ing aound that wai he hoard, and turning
rafter a while to see If he conid make out what
it was. Whan ho tamed, ho understood at
•tmeo that it was a footstep. Cleae behind him
drudged „ woman in the heaviest pslr of
show mortal woman aver wore. For tho rest,
she wore a abort petticoat, a big shawl, ragged
St tha edges, and a flxtcrownod hat, with a
pipe itock in its hand. On her arm she car-
.rod a handle Had up in a square of blue
-checkered linen.
Ai he looked ahont, iho nodded, amieably,
yjmd «»id:
“Thank’yo kindly, ma later.”
“Ah!” said Mr. Bndd, nodding In retarn.
“you’re tho poor woman I-”
“I’m .the wnmmnn yo byad off from bar
drum,” replied tho pedestrian.
"Yes, yes," aald Mr. Budd, ‘and you think
Jfe’U keep hit premit* and not beat yon?”
“lie’s got no call Co beat me noo,”- replied
£bo woman* *'I don’t belong to bo no nioro.”
“I suppose you’ve made »p yonr miad to go
to yoor friends. I’d luvo that man if I were
one does It, sad tho bargain holds. Oh! I’ll
not stand by and acejo take one monaway
bom a woman, and not give her another,
when yo bought her with a sovereign and
Ur. Budd sat down in a chair and folded bia
arms In despair.
The laud lady continued:
‘do and pat yonr dudtsw.iy, lass, and wash
yonr face and redd your hair—for it ueoda it—
and come help get yonr mon'a (upper, for
yen’re scan above It,"
iclfaboi
‘Tear
eta’s say but I pity you, maiater," tail
face, end lond „* u,,.., „ ■ iu.ru ,u .m, uuv
justice Is justice, and 1 knows my Christen
deoly.” •
Foot Mr. lludd, he taw the supper made
ready, and he waa forced to eat tome of it.
Bis bsrgaiu did not think of sitting down
with him, ns he had expected, but stood and
eeivcd him ns hi* landlady stood and •erred
her husband at hit meals. Afterward she re
treated to the displace, where she ate her por.
tion from n plate on her knee. To wash it
down the applied to a Uttle black bottle which
she took fn-m her pocket, and which, when
uncorked, tilled the room with the odor of
old rum.
“1 tee why t'other tolled her," said tho
landlady aaidc to him, as he stood beeldethe
door in t disconsolate mood, which led him to
thoughts of suicide. “I tee why. But when
she gets too much inside of her Jiiat bate her
well. It's the only way. And a mon is In
the roight to do it.”
But poor Ur. Bndd could not answer. Soon
his barraln fell asleep over her plate and bet*
tie, and having been aroused, waa escorted up
stain by the landlady; and Ur. Bndd, who
had been wondering what he conid do to ea>
cape this dilemma, bolted across the road and
np tho atspt of the pretty parsonage that stood
betide the graat church like a dwarf besides
giant.
The clergyman waa in his study when Ur.
Bodd’acsni was banded to him, and ho knew
it to U that of Urs. Wlmplin'a Amerioan
lodger, lfe bade the aorvant. usher his guest
in, and assumed a mildly amiablo expression
suitable for the occasion.
What was hit astonishment, then, when In
stead of entering with proper bow and atnlle.
hit guest appeared pallid and horror-stricken,
end without any preftca (lung at him this
question:
‘‘Sir! Bow do people get married here.
“Jostaa they do in any other Christian
countries; sir,” replied tho clergyman.
“You can't boy a wife ibr a sovereign,
then?'' asked Ur. Budd.
‘Sir, is it possible ] heard person of yoqr
social position ask stick (question?” cried tbo
clergyman. “Do you daro to hope thus to sot
asldo tfco law of God and man? ’
you. I’d not live with him, I think.”
“Ob! i’U not bids with him no more.” said
the woman, indignantly. “I’m a wnamain at
slow my dooty. and in-pions lolke; and yohave
paid a anrvin for I, and I’d let no other moa
fiato I, or order I aboot, only yo. A Christian

bald Mr. Budd, at ha turned into a green lane
and wcniatnjghtto Ute farm houso at which
ho had taken board. Straight aha followed.
At tbodeor ho tamed, bolding it open.
To kb surprise she passed in and seated
herself on a great settee, With her bundle on
her knee.

CHICAGO PORK PACKERS.
Cmraan, October h.—Fifteen thousand em
ployes of twenty-ons pork packiog establish

noosly resolved not to return to tha packing

This afternoon a large body of additions!
workmen went on strike and a r.ot occurred
attho works of John Morrell, when numbers
of persons wore hurt. Tee entire police force
of tbe town of Bake and two Tiukerton men
aimed with rilirohavn gono to the aaano.
A number o! Morrell's men, after
going out, decided to return to work. Tae
sirikere at once invaded the plaeo to compel
them to quit, and employed violence, which,
tor the time, took on tho dimoustous ol a as-
rlouirlot. Tho police are new at tbo scone,
and hope to restore order.

One by ono they go. The big dsh keep on
swallowing tbe little onee. There Is hardly a
railroad now that la limited by atste lines or
by its charter. They have all been merged
into the biff syndicates. They wero obliged
to merge for they contdent run an indapen*
dent schedule. They were pooled out. The
East and West road hu sold out to the Esit
Tennessee and Virginia. This is all right, I
reckon, aa lon| as great competitlng lines ore
lift bat now there is a rumor that tha Eut
Teencisw and Virginia is ttlling out to tha
Baltimore and Ohio. The tendency of every
thing it towsrds consolidation. A few years ago
we had about twenty railroads in Georgia and
every ena running on its own hook, bnt now
wo have lets than half a dosen Independent
linen There were several bandied In the
I’nlttd States, but they have all gent into
ahont tan great syndicates. This absorbtion

alarming symptom‘of consolidation of piwsr
and money. Btllroad commissions ara utteriv
powerless to regulate or to oontroi Idem, for
the commission is hedged In by state line! and
the nUrotda an not. The commission can fix
tbe tariff frens’Atlanta to Auausts, but it can't
do any thing from Chlcagoto Atlanta. It has too
moch power in tho ktato and too little out of
It. Competition it at last the only regulator.
I do not know that than la any.eomplalnt of
