I invites yon to lie down

1 thank you, Mr. Satnho A bralliam,
for the very kind and hospitable
reception extended me, and
will avail myself of cultivating an
acquaintance with you. Imping the

I waa, with many others of ray
family and friends, General Sam

night, feasting on buzzard emr*.

such a terrific battle as fought by
you, and your army cor|>s, I have
never belo o witnessed, though 1
have been on and near many fields
during the late so called rebellion
in this country;the dange<, indeed,
becoming so great, in the rage of
battle, that we were compelled to
take refuge in tire hollow trees and
holes on the Island for protection
and safety ; and on the next day, it
was dreadful to behold the carnage, I
resulting in such victory to your
units, nil hough gratifying and well
pleasing to us. You did your work
inost thoroughly and effectively.
General ; your men Itchaving and

I am very happy indeed,
General, to find you to much attached
to your household friend,
but mutt confute my h?ve and af
feet it m bee never run out much to
warde any tbinjg of the dug kind. I
though my prejudices have never
gone out to far against the eur
breed, at whieh I perceive your
friend it a member, ae to others of
the dog variety ; for example, the
bound, the tuoaneet ipd lowest of
I lie whole species, has ever been
(lie moat Inveterate enemy to my
race, and ever since tbe creation,
lies been used as an instrument
against us, by a class of the white
race of man atyled gentlemen of

play cards, drink whisky, and
' chase us innocents to death, and as
they say and style It, " the sport

Perhaps, General, vou may not
know the full history of the dog
as 1 have it by tradition, through
my race, from the earliest history
of the world, and as we aro making
up a very friendly and agree
able acqniantance, if agreeable, I
will give it to y<>n, though it is a
story I seldom tell, having, as I
do, the prejudices against that race
that I cannot ever overcame.

history anno inundi. or year of
the world nit?ey which, >011 perceive,
was only nlno years after
the creation, tho dogs come to ihe
conclusion that they were entitled
as much to all the higher privileges
ot earth, as well as any and
all other higher grades of brains
and intelligence; that they could
roam the forest, enter sheep folds,
steal, kill, and appropriate to their
own use any ano every tiling they
saw proper, and be )>eui jnstiua'ule
and blameless in all they did or
attempted to do. This cottrso of
conduct led them into tnany ditti
cn I ties, which caused many of
thein to be slain, tortured and otherwise
punished. They considered
themselves?grcatly persecuted,
and resolved on holding a convention
to consider their grievances
which they did, and concluded, in
aid august body, as this globe
with its inhabitants was not suited
to their veiws, tastes, habits and
ways of life as desired by them,
that they would seek another coun
try, and hence that of the moon
was determined on, and to accom
plish this wished-for end and pur
pos, they delegated one of the'r
tril>e to visit and explored that ro
gi<>n. At the Appointed time and
place, the) assembled and went
through the oideal of preparing
their ambassador for the mission,
by anointing him with the most
costly and precious ointment, for
the purpose, ns they said, ot recognizing
him through all time, upon
his return to this g!ob</. From
that eventful day to this, there has
been no tidings in dog history ot
his return ; hence, we almost
daily witness on the meeting ot
two of this race, that are strangers
toeneh other, that they will iuvaria
blv commence smelling each othor,
beginning at the noro and pro
uressing to the tail, and failing to
recognize iu each other the long
ubsent anointed, they hoist their
tails, heads, and bristles, maddened
at the disappointment, and make
for tight. And tot II you, Qener
al, my holiest sentiments, my race
Would have rejoiced at tho success
of the expedition, fur wo could
ihou have boon free from their per
seditions, nnd oppressions, nnd
been in possession of freedom as
you and your race are now. This
earth, General, was made tor us
all to enjoy, and all conld live in

do rights even not exoltiding tho

havo long since established the
most peaceful relations, that has
been most faithfully observed and
carried out to the letter, lint as
for the dog race, I see no hope;
there is a gulf between us that time
and tide can never close. Tliia being
the case, I a in moved to propose
a treaty of amity between you
and yours and me and 'my race,
so that we may be of mutual bene

holds and claims us as its own living
beings. I wish you to hold
eouueil, General, with your confi

will gladly and willingly accept;
which is this; As J end my race

think you of the plan, taking of

never own, raise or encourage to

variety of dogs.
Samho? Mr. Fox, you out talks
anything I has eber met, and when
it comes to smart, it looks like vou
had all of it; Scott, Grant, de Leg

can come up to yon, Mr. Fox, and
you tells me de best news for free

will call in my best friends, and go
into de agreement von Riwalca on
at once, and let de legislator folks,
leagues, and all sich. go to grass,
and live on dry air afore 1 lias any
tiling moro to do wid ein. Yes,
Mr. Fox, you can, as you has said,
save freedom a powerful chance of
rnnuiti about of nights to Hud and
get sich things as da wants and
must have / and, furder dan dat,
not be found out when wo takes
de hen off Me roost or de hog out
of de pen, as you can always tells
us whar they is, so we can get em
widout any fuss. 1 has nebei
afore hearn dat dog tail, you
spe iks of, but it look* mighty true
as d?. "'ways smells when they
meets; dat was one ob de sign6 in
dc Leagues. When I fir6t jined,
we all had to smell one another,
and 1 declares de white folks dat
jined, 6ineled a heap worse dan de
nigger, and artor de first incetin,
1 always took whisky and cam tiro

1 reckons dat sign must have been

Fox, pretty well rested ; wont you
take some fresh goose aforo you
goes? I hud just cleaned him
utoro you emtio in. I walked out
to night and sorter found him. 1
likes y< u so much, and you will be
sich a help to freedom, I cant let
you go walnut your eating 6omc

hurt you nor your folks ; he is no
Carpet- Bagger or Sculawag, and
will always do jist as I tells him.
Come, Mr. Fox, take a bite.
Fox?Thank you General, I ain
not ntull hungry, but, fur manners
sake, will divide the goose with
yon, and not take all a* your
friends and representatives do.
After meal, the interview close .
Fox, in his ramble homewards,
soliloquizes to himself in an under
tono: " The nigger is a nigger
still; freedom can never make
him otherwise. Give him the
school, the college, legislature,
Congress, the ptilpir, the iornm
lie is a nigger and will so continue
to the end. lie will believe anythin<j%
he will do anything, when
there is hope or promise of rewardy
no matter by what means.
This being so, I had just ns well
use him as any one else ; there is
no use for me to steal when I can
make hiin do it for tne ; it will be
much to my convenience to use
his coops and pens than to prowl
myself. Though nothing but a fox 1

This venerable and beloved lady
?ono of the most widely known

from her early womanhood, has
heen so prominent in the social
life and history of Edgefield, departed
this life, at hor old home
tn our midst, on Friday night last,
at the unusually advanced age of
ill years. She was the widow of
the late Edmund Bacon, Esq., and
had survived her husband ? and
most of the friends of her youth
?forty six years.
Mrs. Bacon was a woman of
uncommon vigor of mind pud

and honesty of charactor. And
in her death, it would seein, liter*

gone. On 'loesday last her remains

Ths Dew Drop.
The following pretty fable, clipped
from iho Southern Press, is
well worth perusal :
I went out one morning em ir to
see tire dew drops : there was one
on every blade in the grass-plat, i
I have seen jewels sparkling in
the ring on the lady's finger, and
flittering in the jeweler's shop.
mil i navo never seen a com so
pure and bright as the jewels
worn by the grass blades. I !
stooped down and looked at them,
and llio grass said, " Are you
come out to see me ?''
" No, to see the dew dro|>s."
A little sparkling drop shook
himself up, * What," said he,
M What was that ?"
'' Come out to see yon beautiful
dew drops,*' I said.
" What for?"
u I love to see the calm, blue
lieavou reflected in your l??6om."
" That is because I am pure,"
said the dew-drop; "heaven is
always reflected in a pnro l?csom.
You cannot seo heaven in the bosom
of muddy water, nor in the
heart of a wicked child. Tell the
children who love Jesus to bo
pure, even as '>e is pure."
i picaed up ilie blade of grass
to look clo.-er at liiiri. Just then
the sun began to rise, and the
dew-drop changed from blueheaven
color to a glowing sunlight.
It shone like a little sun as I held
it, and looked lovelier than ever.
44 Buautiful r
The little drop 6iniled. 44 The
day is breaking and the good sun I
is changing tno into the likeness
of himselt. Tell your little Christians,
when Jesus shall appear
they shall be like him. But the
day is breaking?the sun is drawing
me?Tin going, going?."
'Don't go yet," I said, 44 stay
and talk to nie."
44 lie is set.ding down his long
-unhcatnflnge: s. I feel them
drawing me. I'm going."
44 Stay, little dew-drop," I said,
44 stay and talk with me all day
long."
44 Only in the night I live on
earth, and when day breaks I flee
away to heaven on the beauts of
light. Christians ate the dewdrops
of Jesus. Tliov, too, stay
on the earth while night lasts, and
when heaven's day breaks, and
the shadows flee awav, Jesus will
draw up his dew-drops to himself. I
n..* ? -
urn i cannot stay?the sunbeams j
are drawing me. I feel thoir lov- j
ing kisses. Tin going tip to the
glorious sun. I'm going."
It grew brighter and heavenlier,
and smaller. I looked, and
looked, till 1 looked in vain : there
wui rtljr tl?o hladn of grass, the
dew drop was gone. I
Thk daughters of a Southern

Boys Make Bod Koau
Many year* a^o, a little boy
lived in ancient Rome, who was
very cruel to harmless animals.?
lie delimited to torturo and kill
flies, and lie would pursue the little
creatures hour after hour with
a pin to pierce them through, and
see thorn flutter and die in agony.
I Do you think that a boy so cruel
became a kind, loving man ?
I Not he. As he grow older he
! exhibited the eaiuo cruel disposi(
tion toward men. At last he was
made emporor of Home, and then
his cruelty advanced a fearful rate.
This man was the bloody Nero,
who killed his own wife, and ordered
his mother to be assassinated.
Nor was this all. lie delighted
so mnch in cruel things
that lie ordered the city to be set.
on fii e. just to see how it would
look ; and when it was burning,
he seated himself upon a high
tower, and sang and played upon
his lyre. Was this strange? Is
not a cruel boy likely to become a J
cruel man I Killing men in tnan->
hood in only a further develop,
merit of killing flics in childhood.
An aged sen captain, who spoilt
a long life upon tlio ocean, said to
a lady, 4- On ship board I can tell
in a very short time what any
sailor was in his boyhood." It
was because 44 the boy is father to
the man." Ho added, 4fc I find
that a bad sailor is made out of a
bad boy." When he saw a reck
less profane, vicious >4 son of the
deep," he at once concluded that
he was little better when a lad.?
Now. this is just- wha' might be
expected. It is just what is seen

How to Guow I loos. ? A practical
breeder pives us the lollop
ing advice which in the innin, we
think 6ouud, tor those whose herd
is not too large, and who nic engaged
in mixed husbandry ;
"To bundle bogs to the best
advantage, a pasture is needed of
mixed grasses, clover, blue guiss
and timothy, and it is best if there
is no running water or stock
ponds in the lot. iJogs do better
where there is no stock ponds or
branches to wallow in. In place
thereof, have good well-water
- pumped for tlieni. Have trough*
1 made, naii stripe across, eight inches
apart, to keep the hogs from
lying in the water, and ict the
l*?gs be put on floors, to keep them
from digging up wallowing holes.
If any feed he given it should be
soaked in swill barrels for twelve
hours before leading?no longer?
and fed to them as drink."

A Remarkable Story'
A ftoniierstnan woe once telling
a story of hie adventures
among the Indians, 'litis man \>r
name Pelly Bigf<>rd. was notorious
for his long but. amusing:
yarns, and was sitting amongst a
crowd around the camp lire.?
Pelly was holding forth in thia
~ ,wa . -X uu nee, ooy?, i Here war
six of the yaller cusses, with their
whr paint. I had for oompany
only my old army * sixw and
M Butch," so nothing was left hut
to take my cave, which I done at
a 2:40 rate They, in course,
started in pursuit. As they gained
on me, and <?ne after another, I
killed five of them; hut, from
running, my nerves was considerably
shaken, and my sixth shot
miseed its aim. I then stopped
suddenly, flung old stand by at
his head and missed again.?'
Away I went, and could now ab
most feel his hot breath on my
face. His tomahawk was upraised,
and I involuntarily grasped
Butch, and dodging, my foot
struck a log, which sent me rolling
on the ground, my knife ten
yards off. The tomahawk had
pu&scd over niv head, hot?" a.?H
here PeMy paused. "Weill
well 1" exclaimed Ins hearers, excitement
and -loop interest pictured
on their faces. Pelly calmly
drew oat his tobacco, and depositing
a quid in his mouth, said quietly
: " Why, g?.l darn him, he
kilted me /" It is needless to state
that a broad smile illustrated thus*
features, almost as if ika party
had draw;. prizes in the Louisiana
State Lottery.
