Not many nlglils after the etorjr of bow
Sir. Benjamin Item frightened Brother Wolf
and Brother Fox, the little boy found him
eelf in Uncle Remoe???e cabin. It bad occurr
ed to him that Ur. Ram ahould hare played
on hie fiddle eomewhere in the iaie, and
Uncle Remus was called on to explain. He
looked at the little boy with sn air of grlered
astonishment, end exclaimed:
??????Well, I be bleis if I erer year der beat er

???Ob, no, I wouldn't, Unde Remus!?????? pro*
tested the child, glancing at the door and get
ting a little eloser to the old man.
???Yasser! you'd deanatally whirl in en for-

The little boy said nothing, but he thought
the story would have been a great deal nicer
if Sir. Benjamin Ram could hare played one
of tne old time tunes on bia fiddle, and while
h* was thinking .bout ft, the door opened
and Aunt Tempy made tier appearance. Her
good humor was infectious.
???Name er goodness!" the exclaimed, ???I lef

Aunt ri.iii|iy , ?? iiuvsiiun gave the little hoy
an excuse forgiving her brief outlines of
some of tho stories. One that ho Boomed to
remember particularly woll was tbn store of
how Bro'ker Rabbit and Brother Fox killed
"1 dons year ts'k uv a tain like daV ex*

John BaviBT???Dear Sir: Your eommnn'ct-

a fund which yon allege jou are rail-
log for tbe support of Uto republican party has
been received. The communication baa been pub
lished In foil ln The CoNtTiTCTtoN and given
tbo press of tbe country.
In reply I have to say that not one dollar of money
from me shall ever, wltblmy knowledge, be dis
bursed by yen. White I deny tbe right of oongress
or any other law-msklng power of tbe land to die-
tateor direct at to what I shall do with my own
money, I do not refute to m<ke the donation asked
for by you, because I am protected by statute, but
because I e-uld but feel that any donation made
to tbe party through you might fall to bo applied
to the purpose for which It was given. Your mans
sgement of whst you pleato to call ???The Southern
Advance Association,??? aa Is ihown from your own
report la.the following figures, and from yc-ur
own statements made ln
pretence goes to show that
whatever lands hare come Into your possession
havo In evory instanoo been largely applied to
yonrown benefit and to the benefit of those ano
elated with you. But here are the figures;
The receipts of the association np to Jane 30,
168.1 from stle of Hoiks, donation', etc , amounted
to 926,170 bO. Up to that time there hui been paid
