American, thus "joshes" the South in his peculiarly happy vein. Nesbit is an "indulger" from 'way back, and living in free and easy Gotham, he is inclined to be gay when. referring to the "mel ancholy" condition of Dixie]: Lay the jest about the julep in' the camphor balls at lost, For the miracle has happened and the olden days are past; That which makes Milwaukee thirsty does not foam in Tennessee, And the lid in Old Missouri is as f tight-locked as can be 0 the comic paper -colonel and his cronies well may sigh, For the mint is waving gayly, but the South is going dry. By tho stillside on the hillside in Kentucky all is still, For the only damp refreshment must be dipped up from the rill; No'th Ca'lina's stately ruler gives his soda glass a shove, And discusses local option with the South Ca'lina Gov.; It is useless at the fountain to be %% nkful of the eye, For the cocktail glass is dusty and the-South is going dry. It is water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink; We no longer hear the music of the mellow crystal clink, When the Colonel and the Major and the Gen' and the Jedge Meet to have a little nip to give. their appetite an edge, For the eggnog now is nogless and the rye has gone awry, And the punchbowl holds carnations, and the South Is going dry. All the nighteaps now have tassels and are worn upon the head Not the nightcaps that were taken when nobody went to bed; And the breeze above the bluegrass is as solemn as is death, For it bears no pungent clove-tang on its odorific breath; And each man can walk a chalk-line when' the stars are in the sky, For the fizz glass now is fizzless, and the South is going dry. Lay the jest about the julep 'neath I the chestnut tree at last, For there's hut one kind of moon shine and the olden days are past; For the water wagon rumbles thro' ~ the Southland on its trip, .And it helps no one to drop off to' pick up the driver's whip; For the mint beds make a pasture and the corkscrew hangeth high, All is still along the stillside and the South is g1oing dry.

"A balky horse is the meanest thing this side of Memphis," said A. L. Nichols, of Brentwood, Tenn. "I had 9, horse one titme that hilked on all occasions. He would Lalk if you whistled, balk if you ,laughed and balked if you looked frot the corner of your eye "One day he balked and I could not make him move forward to save me. An old negro happened along and supplied a remedy. Going to the side of the road he pulled a hand. ful of dog fennel weed. Taking this he rubbed it under the horse's nose. The animal shook his head once or twice, raised up his tail and started down the road in the merriest trot you ever saw. That treatment of dog fennel cured the horse of balking. He never made another attempt to act ugly after that."- [Nashville Ten nesseean. In Defense of Railroads. To the Greenville News: We have seen so much comment on the subject of the Southern Railway and the North Carnlina laws that we have a mind to speak and are going to speak. Now, in regard to this case the railroad could but submit to the law, but here is the point: The law. Who made the law? We are long since out of patience with so many cheap legislators. Th y never know when to quit riding their hobbies. We ahall be slow to cast our vote for a man that comes along riding a hobby toward office that is against railroads and cotton Mills and corporations. These would-be statesman think they have all the influence and popu Ilat sentiment to gain as the voting capacity of the corporation is in th3 minority. We haven't a dollar in any Corpo ration but we believe In fair play and democracy and who says this is ei. ther? To keep always jumping on corporations that have a right to fair play, just for notoriety's sake and be cause they are sui-ject to comply with any and all laws that avrarice afd lowness can enact is a most cou temptible thing. Principle is so far enthralled, tha t at this same gait the d~y Is not fa r distant when the railroads will be told: "You must haul the people free and you cotton mis must pay your employes full pay for the merest mention of time employed. All you corporations must come to the letter of the majestic law, the Standard Oil Company not excepted, to thie tune of a penalty of vour entire worth. But you murderous, anaroh ists, bank-cashier defaulIters, crooked government agricultural statisticians and other like high folk, go free. These corporations are being sued in .every court for personal accidents, etc., and ninety-nine per cent of tbe cases are carefully designed accidents and there is always a cheap lawyer ready to carry the case through all the courts between here and eternity W.
