Mutually Mistaken
" .Beware of pickpockets, Joshua," ?aid
? Joshua Barker's mother to hov sou, w hen that
interesting young gentleman was about setting
forth to visit his aunt Betsey Barker, who
lived seventy live miles away, in tho thriving
little village of Gravburg.
" Yes'am responded Joshua dutifully, T'll
keep my eyes peeled for cm. (?noss if they
ketch thU child napping they'll riso nirlior
than they're used to."
"Timi's right, thy hid, Tailers hnowed
you W?8 tho smartest (d' tho family, Joshua,
but I guess when you como to go about ?iud
seo things you'll turn out smarter'n over I
thought. There is the kee.rs comin' now.
Look out and hold fast to your valise ! And
don't forget to ho koorful of ycr faithcr's
watch, aud don't smoke no cigars, nor drink
no water without looking into it. Cause there
was a women that I've hoard sister Betsey tell
about, out there, thal drinked a live snake!
And do try and not dirty tnore'n two dickies
a week ! I t'll make it such havd washing for
your aunt, and she's got the rhumuliz, you
know. Now look out for your pocket-hook !
Toll Uotsoy to send up that rosato for color
blue and making that squiuoh sass-and-and
budy! Iiorc they bo ! ami with a kiss that
made tho very locomotive give a snort of
amazement, Mis. Harker tore herself away.
Joshua seated himself in the very middle
of the e::r-he had heard it said that there
was less danger there, and holding his valise
in his lap, he put one hand on his watch, and
the other on his pocket hook, and mentally de
fied pickpockets. l?o had heard so much of
the dreadful doing in tho ears, that he though!
it, impossible to use too much precaution.
At the nexl station they look up a rather
pretty, hut decidedly nervous looking young
lady, in a blue bonnet and pink dress. She
paused beside Joshua, ami asked timidly
" ls this seat engaged ?"
" No, not as I know ol'?" stammered Josh
ua, blushing up to his hair. " Want to sit
down ?"
Thank you," and she sat d urn sn grace
fully that her expansive crinoline spread en
tirely over .Joshua's knees and . ilise, and
completely enveloped our perspiring-hero in
tin avalanche of Bounces, shawl, ring and pat
cloudy.
Holli of tile young people seemed very much
frightened. Joshua begun to (inger his pocket
book nervously shirting it from th cuco In hi?
vest, and finally depositing it in his hat, wish
ing at the same time that he could drop it in
to bis boot.
The, young lady fidgottotl, eyed her compan
ion askance-pulled her hoiiliel strings, und
clutched tightly the handle of her reticule
but after a little while, both seemed to get eas
icr, and Joshua screwed up his courage losnj
something.
" Fine day, marm."
" Yes; rallier cool, though."
" That's a fact. Cooler than it was yostcr
day."
" Yes, but not so cool as it was last winter.'
" No siree. ! Terrible cold Friday last win
ter, wan't there?"
" Awful ! was you out any ?"
" Out ! 1 rather guess 1 was in (he spruei
swamp driving old Huck and Brood nil day !
Golly ' how the frost stood om'em 1"
"Ves, 1 think its likely."
A dead silence.. At last, said Joshua, will
a desu?rale effort at sociability
" doing far ?"
" To Grnyburg."
" You hain! 1 So he T, quito a contingene;
haint it?" and both giggled. They were bc
ginning tb get acquainted.
Joshua took his liam) away from his wate!
and put it around the bick ol' the seat.
" Going to stay (hero long, .Miss ?"
" A week, 1 guess, lie you ?"
" About as long as you," responded Joshua
letting his hand rest on the back of her High
land shawl ; and feeling very much as he dit
when Deacon Jenners caught him robbing hi
pot peartree. The young lady thew back.
"Law! you inusn't do so, sir. lt hain
proper."
u I'll like to know what's to hinder?" eric
Joshua Lt Jilly.
" Folks will see us !" simpered the youn
lady.
" Who keers !" cried Joshua, I'm twenty
one years old, and got father's watch in tu
pocket and ten dol?ais besides ! and forgetful
that he had deposited it in his hat, he felt fo
it in bis pocket. It was gone !
"Jerusalem? roared Joshua springing t
his feet in terriblo dismay-'taint there it'
gone ! I'vo been robbed ! somebody's cou
mitted arson on my person and pocket I'* II
glared at thc young lady by his side, whofroi
some cause wi.s gelling as excited as himsel
feeling first in her pocket and then in her rc
icule.
" You've got it ! thundered Ito - " 1 migl
have k 1)0wd you warn't respectable ! l'\

thor got for th? brindley calf and the etibtn
sheep ! Hand it over, or hy scissors, L'll scare
ye if ye boa woman !"
Tho young lady sprang up-her face rot
her eyes blazing--she, loo lind read the p
per?, and had heard of pickpockets.
An angry mari is a fearful .sight, bul can
begin to compare with an angry woman. An
this one was raging. She brandished her par
sol in ono hand and ber reticule in the otho
"You've stole my porttnonaie I cried sb
" You've took tho advantage of an iunuccn
unprotected female, and played tho part of

'/ Don't believe a word she says !" cried
Joshua, " Silo's a lying ! She's tho ono that's

everything but father's watch lind a six cont
plug of tobacco ! Somebody search her ?
Dour Su/, ! I'am nullum cd cd' myself! I was

look out my D'? and Q's! How I do wish

Joshua began to climb over the baok of thc
scats into the aislo.
Tho girl seized him by Ibo cont tails. " No
you don't !" screamed she, '. not by a long
chalk ! You think you're a wwine to get oil'

Joe's minnernturo that cost niuo .shillings with
bis hair frizzled and his ru Ol lcd linen hosom
eo shirt on to him ! 1 say, stop him !
Dy this ("une thc whole car lull of pa*son
ocrs were aroused to the condition of things,
and as is natural in such cases, there was a di
vision of opinion. Some took sides with Josh
ua, and some with the huly.
An elderly woman in spectacles-ovidoritly
one of tho strong minded species, planted her
back firmly against thc door, cfloetunlly barring
the egress.
Joshua's senses began lo he slightly mud
dled. A half score of people were heading
him nfl', ami that terrible youno; lady in pink
dress was dinging to his coat skirts, und his
pocket was gone. Ho felt despera lo.
"Stand Aside, every one of you !" ho cried
to tho people before him; and just then thc
,c:irs gave a lunge, ns cars are in tho habit of
doing, and Joshua went head first against the
stomach of a fat woman who had risen to see
what the matter was.
The woman went over, Joshua, went over,
so did the young lady in pink, and the whole
crowd foll on tho seat where a very loving
couple and a lap dog were reposing.
The seat was squelched, so were tho lovers
and the dog, and' the cry rose fast and fu
rious
" A collision ! There is a collision !"
Everybody sprang to their feet and seized
their carped bags, and tho comedy might have
become a Iragody, if tho conductor had not
just (hen appeared and restored order.
lie shook Joshua, and ordered the youno
lady td fit duwil and India ve herself.
Joshua took off his hat (.? scratch his head,
and lo ! out dropped the missing pocketbook !
Our hero Hung up both hands in eostaey.
" Hooray !" cried Ito; "it's found! Hail
Columby ! E. Pluribua Union ! Three cheer*
for the Constitution and the Union !"
And they wove given with a will.
And ab jut the same limo tho conduelo;
picked up a nondescript looking bag from lb?
lloor. Tho youno lady in pink rushed for
ward and seized it.
"My pocket! my pocket ! It must hav?
untied and slipped oh*'! Oh, hniut'l J. happy
And Joe's minncrnture all s?f.? !"
"Del's Khako bauds!" said Joshua ap
preaching her. " 1 haint n pickpocket rf ni

Thc air is generally clear and mild. Eve

On one occasion, he said : "Soldiers hnv

Railroad? in War.
Ooncr?l MoCnhuni, who. during the War of
tl?e rebellion hud charge of the railroad ser
vice of the Federal annies, has furnished a
report which contains many curious things.
Ho commenced his labors in February, 1802,
at which time tho only railroad held by the
Un i fed States, for military purposes, was that
which extended from Washington to Alexan
dria, and was seven miles long. From this
small beginning tho railroad service of the
army increased until it became a prodigious
adair. When tho war was ended General
McCallum's department had seized mid built
over t wo thousand miles of railroad and oper
ated them with thc necessary engines, cars,
engineers and assistants. They had luiilt so
litany bridges that, if they had been placi d in
connection, they would have extended twenty
six miles. Soino of these bridges wen- won
derful constructions and built with surprising
swiftness. Tho great bridge on tho Chatta
hoochee was seven hundred I.*M1 eighty foot
long and ninety two feet high, nu? i' was built
in four days and a half. The bridge over the
Potomac, ut Aomin Creek, Virginia, was four
hundred and fourteen feet long and eighty-two
feet high, ann it was built. :.ttd passed over by
trains within forty hours. Very frequently
these roads were attacked by the rebels, the
tracks torn up end the bridges burnell, bul
tho Construction Corps was promptly on hand
to repair and restore thin t
1 ii I 1 nod's campaign to Teunosrco, his troops
desi loy cd thirty-five miles of track, and burned
bridges extending over four hundred and fifty
feet. This damage was perfectly repaired;
and tho line was again in working order in
thirteen days t There was great destruction
of trains and engines by guerrillas. In six
months of 1866, sixteen wrecked locomotives
and nearly three hundred ear loads of wheels
were brought into Nashville. Frequently
these military '.?ulroads were put to tho most
laborious work, in tito transportation of troop?.
In 1805, the entire Tomtit Army Corps was
transported from Ivtst Tennessee to Nashville,
three hundred and sixty miles, without acci
dent or delay, ir. fifteen hundred ens. Al
one time the construction and railroad corps of
( ?en. ,v- '?Callum wan composed of twenty live
thousand men, and in their operations they
spent foily-two millions of dollars. The la
bors of this important part of tho army was
severo, and gave to those who efficiently eon
ducted thom, no chance for fame. Hut. Upon
them most, undoubtedly depended tho success
of our annies, because they not only carried
troops where they were wanted, and brought
back tho sick and wounded, bul they also kept
thc soldiers fully supplied with food, comforts
and ammunition.
JUST A New York city correspondent ol'
the "Charleston Courier'" says: "There
have been sonic changes in tho Congressional
Districts. Mr. llarl has withdrawn iii the
Sixth, and all tho Conservatives factions have
wailed npoil Hun. Thomas li. Stewart, a
Johnson Republican. In the Ninth, Mr.
.Jackson, the Tammany candidato, has with

the Tam mu ny leaders. 1 le. charges them willi

bois determined tobo no dummy or tool, am
ho thinks he eau upset all their schemes IM,
stopping out of the race. This leaves (ht
field to Tornando Wood, who will beat his op
portent, Darling easily. AV nod luis undoubled
ly bought up thc Tom many loaders, and Mr
.jackson was lucky onough to discover tho fie
ol' the sale. Wood will go to Congreso ii
spite of the popular impression that he wai
killed very doad, as a politician, two yean
ago. He is one of those india ruber pol it i
cians, thal no an omit of hard usage eau de
stroy. Fate crowds down upon him heavily
at times, but he always manages to bonnet
back to his original good fortune again. Iii
is perhaps the best type of the degraded eon
dition of New York polities j mercenary, un
scrupulous, ?md utterly without character.

daily ami weekly newspapers. For the infill
euee of a certain great daily, it is said, he pail
910,000. He is willing to spend a couple o
hundred thousand dollars to get into Congress
Old Vanderbilt is backing him up, and i
money is potent, the eminent gambler ant
plug will achieve tho title of " Honorable."
HORK MILK OUTIIAOK.-On Friday evening
last, Mrs. Garvin and her daughter, aged lil
teen, were brutally murdered near Orange
burg, where they resided. The u n fort it mi l
ladies were returning homo from a visit l
neighboring friends, in a buggy, and were uti
accompanied by any protector. Their bod ie
were discovered the next morning, and. o
examination, it was found that their skulls ha
been fractured. Suspicion immediately fol
upon a discharged colored soldier, wdtose wit
hail been in the employ of Mrs. (?arvin, an
with whom she had recently hail some m ism
dorstunding. Search was made and the sm
pected negro arrested, in company with minti
er, and sufficient evidence elicited to iinpl
cate both in the murder. They were cor
veyed to Orangcburg and placed safely i
confinement, although thc indignation (
those, who were cognizant of the facts w.i
so great that thc citizens were with difficult
restrained from inflicting summitry pttnisl
nient on thc offenders. As the Court of Ger
eral Sessions meet in Orangcburg thia weel
it is to be hoped that they will be innnediati
ly tried and, if guilty, be punished to the fu
extent of the law.- Charleston Courier.

Sherill's Attachment
Court wus in session ; ?nd amid thc multi
plicity of business which crowded upon a
Sherill" at tenn time, ho was lcd lo thc door of
a beautiful widow on the sunny side of thirty,
who, by thc way, bad often bestowed molting
glances on thc aforesaid Sheriff. JI o was ad
mitted, and tho widow Uppenrod? The confu
sion and fright willoh the arrival of lier visit
or occasioned, set off to greater adv ant ago the
captivating charms of thc widow M. lier
cheeks.boro the beautiful blended tints of the
ibo apple blossom j her lips resembled the.
rosebuds, upon which the morning dew yet
lingered, and her eyes weiro like quivers of
Cupid; and glances of hive ami tenderness
with which they were fille?! resembled arrows
which only invited a "beau" (purdon the
pun) to do full execution. After a few com
mon place remarks :
" Madam,'' said the matter of fact Sheriff,
" 1 have an attachment for yon,"
"Sir, the attachment is reciprocal."
A deeper blush than usual mantled the
cheeks of tho fair Widow, while thc glance of
her downcast eyes wore centered upon her
beautiful foot, which half concealed by flow
ing drapery, patted tho floor. She with equal
candor replied.
For some time the Sherill' maintained an
astonished silence, and nt length said :
" Madam, will y< u proceed to court ?"
lYodecd to court!" replied the Inly, with
a morry laugh j then shaking her head she
said :
" No, sir, though this is leap year, 1 will
not take the lid vi? to ?gc of the license therein
granted to my sex, and therefore I greatly
prefer that you should proceed to court."
" But, Madam, Ibo Justice is waiting."
"Let him wait j 1 am not disposed to hur
ry mailers, and besides, when the ceremony
is performed, 1 wish you to understand that I
greatly prefer a Minister to a Justico of the
peace."
A light dawned upon tho Sheriff's brain.
'. Madam," said ho, rising from bis chair
with a solemn dignity, " there is a great mis
take here ; my language has been misunder
stood ; Ibo nttaohu e il of which 1 speak was
issued from tho lillico of Squire C-, and
commands mo to bring yon instantly before
him to answer a contempt of court, disobeying

STAY LAW VRTO IN MISSISSIPPI.-Gov
ernor llumphroys, ot' Mississippi, in his re
cent message vetoing tho Stay Law passed by
tho Stato Legish' ne, takes tho ground that
tho act is in viol . m of tho Stato and Fede
ral Constitutions, which aro claimed to bo em
phatic on thc point that no law shall bc passed
impairing thc obligation of n contract, lu
tho act in question, n/sta'y is given to1 tho deb
tor for tho payment of thu debt extending
over a period of four years, and the Governor
argues that if this power, thus to stay execu
tion, exists in tho Legislature, he can see no
limitation to its exercise except in legislativo
discretion. If it bb competent to stay cxecu
tion during a period of four years, it is diffi
cult to percol vo what there is to prevent an
indefinite extension. Thc Legislature post
poned the consideration of the veto message
