HEAD. ?| At n watering place in Virginia there arrived one evening a puffy man of mid- " die age, and his daughter, a rather attiactive girl, although there was a selfconscious air nhout her?nn air of suddenly acquired wealth. Her father's ob- 1,1 jectionable air was not merely self con- f'! scionsness; it was a vulgar inclination to lc brag. His introduction into society at J the hotel was not sought by society; it sn was a clear break on bis own part. A ' il number of gentlemen and ladies were pi' seated near the end of a shaded veranda, In' discussing a book that had achieved an wi almost instnnt popularity, when the puffy new-comer brusquely shoved his way ht for waul, and in a loud voice blurted out his opinion: th "I ain't read ths book," said Ue, Vbut , '*l I'll bet that it don't amount to much, j . There is more liiimliumron. ?, ruSo cri ob~.J " ?"" j book business than in most any other I \ know of. Books'll flo putty well for I <( women, but in my opinion a man is t throwing awny his time with 'cm. I hail . a twin brother that took to books along bnrk when he was a boy, and although ' J he was a bright feller?p.s bright as I ?* was?he never amounted to much. I had to take up a mortgage on his place for him not morc'n six months ago. ro '1 hat's about what I think of books." lie ' leaned bnrk against the railing of the . ' "banisters" and surveyed the party with |s the satisfaction of n man who has carried 1 his point and who is thoroughly pre- t|. pared for any subsequent attack. The ladies, especially the better natured ones, j mt smiled; the men, with one exception, j laughed. The exception was a young j lawyer from Nashville. He looked with ! the inquiry ol disapproval at the in- ha trader, and then quietly remarked: [ th cim.WkPWfMuM .wife..#,, IwKA y,7 I might possibly compel you to take up , lb another mortgage, I will forgo the pleas- mi ure of self enjoyable composition." The interloper, no wise abashed, re- n'' plied: "It's a good step you're takin', I . rei reckin, as the writin' of the book might | be more intcrestin' to you than the read- ? 1 in' of it would be to anybody else." ,n' "Doubtless," retorted the young lawyer, "you are right. Some dull tradeplodder might attempt t:?spill it out and bruise his nllegcd mind on unlooked-for, *'i( sharp corners." "Young fellow, what is }our name?" the intruder asked; and the young fel- ,,rc low, never afraid to make himself known, J?1 answered: ff,r "I am George Miles, sir." h!in "Ah, hah! George Miles.

"Pity for you then, I reckou, as all | c men were cleaner for hnvin' knowed old | 1 Josh." The men lunched, the ladie* * tittered again, and the old lellow, con- < scious this time that he must have said something to the point, bowed his ac- ' knowledgements. Just then his dautrh- 1 tor appeared, stauding in a door. < '' Father ^ I other the old fellow came out with an enormous cigar in his mouth and "squashed" himself down on a bench. "Boys," said he, breaking into the conversation, "I'm gittin' so I ruther like this here one-boss place. I did think that it would he n little too much fcr me to stay out here, and I wa'n't keen to come nuttier, but Minnio set , her heart on it anil away we come. My name is Beck." No one said anj thing, and Mr. Beck continued: "I reckon I've done about as much hus'lin' in my time as tho most ( of men. I was a pore boy, but instead of foolin' away my time with Inoks I went to work and ain't sorry for it. I ( have noticed, in my knock in' round, that inouev is putty nigh the boss. It ' ! miy not bo happiness in itself, but ] without it there ain't very much enjoy- ( mcut. Larnin' may command the re- f spcct of the few, but mouey employs tho services of the mauy, and to challenge | Ithe complete respect of men ytra must make'cm servo .you." I "I don't know but you arc right," said one of the men. "Of course I'm riyht, and what is tho use of people shuttin' their eyes against the fact, or ruthcr pretetmin' that they do? I know that there's a sort of respectability, or I moot say aristocracy tlint money sometimes ain't got, but just wait awhile and moncy'll git it all right." "What business are you in?" someone asked. "Well, I ain't in any business now? have retired you might say. I made my I money in different sorts of speculation and have got it well invested, drawin' a ' fust-rate interest. I live in Georgia and am putty much at home when I'm there, ' I can tell you. My wife has been dead ! a good while, aud about all I'vo got to ] look after is the enjoyment of my daugh- J ter. Iler will is law with me and I am 1 i straightforward enough to say right here, I or right anywhere, for that matter, that thousand dollars waitin' for him." George Miles looked up quickly and, with a sneer, said: "I ryouldn't marry her three hundred thousand." The old mau seized his cane, which he had leaned against the bench and, springing to his feet glared af Mdes, who, without changing his position, sat placidly smoking. "J)o you mean to insult me, sir?" Beck roared. "Not in the least," Mile3 answered. "When I want to insult a man I hit him and then insult him afterward. You i had, without interruption, expressed 1 your opinion, and I merely expressed 1 mine. You introduced your daughter's name in a way not only unnecessary to 1 the force of your former statement concerning the power ol money, hut with a narrow-minded vulgarism that was disI gusting. If you want to strike roe, do I so. I have said nothing in bclittlement T*3r Lc, VovCTirTV tyv ~ I wouldn't; not time?nm?-n ?orthy of me, morally, but because our ' istes are, doubtless, dissimilar. Now, do you want to hit me with that stick, I $ II right." ver "I won't hit you," Beck replied. lie What you say may be right from your pai andp'iut, but uo matter what you ' ought about my daughter you ought owi i have kept it to yourself. It looks to 4 e like I would have thought a long pies inc before I would have made any such j mark, ami I would have thought that gaj< ly true gentleman would have done the for me.

' George, you ought not to have said at^," a lrieud remarked. "You can't lousnud dollars." "My dear fellow," Miles answered, I don't lilnme him for thinking so much I her, and I commend his detcrmina- fas in to reward her future husband, but I i despise his vulgar show.

"I don't know, but had ho done so, ' his volume would have been more re- , .WWUIB. " < ? m , I F "Oh, it must be delightful to be so j respectable," sho exclaimed, with well J played enthusiasm.

What, was your grandfather, 1 nr did you ever hear of hiiu?" ^ 4 Miles blushed. Ho had heard in a J nore or less vaguo way, of one of h's ? grandfathers?hnd heard that he was a ' gobbler and that he had deserted from the army during the war of 1812. "Ob, don't tax your memory with ^ trying to recall bis name. I ain so glad to have met you," she suddenly exclaimed. "I like to see gentleness aqd { consideration joined with greatness. , Now, sir, if you feel disposed to climb lown you would obligo me by doing ( io." * ^ Miles climbed down, and the young , lady serenly passed on. ] i The season was growing late, and 1 thero were but few visitors remaining, ( Miles continued to linger, partly bocausa 1 it made but little difference where he ' was, and partly because he didn't want that Miss Heck to think that she hnd f driven him off. He met her every day, and spoke, in reply to her, his little | piece of sarcasm. One day while the girl was playing on the piano ho strode into the parlor. She ceased plnying j upon seeing him, and turning, said: t "I don't object to mild punishment, but I will not torture you with my , music " I You are becoming considerate as the j days pass by." f "Yes, and I am tired of playing, any- i ivay. Isn't it a great pity that father t sn't worth four hundred thousand dol- 1 ars." 1 "Why so?" "Because he might then be able to J marry me off." "P?M?bW, bom* men eve not very I particular." " "And," snid she, "I am convinced that the majority of women are not particular at nl!." The old man appeared in the door. IIis face was haggard and a wild look wo3 in his eyes. ( "Minnie," he faltcriugly called, "Minnie, come here." She ran to him and Miles heard him i say, "1 am ruined. That iron company j has busted up and I am ruined." A newspaper which came that evening 1 gave an account of the sudden failure of 1 i large iron concern at Birmingham; and ' aid inan Beck was mentioned as not 1 :mly a heavy loser, but as totally bankrupted by the failure. 1 * ? * + It was rather late at night. The Becks were arranging their departure. Miles was sitting in the pailor when Miss Beck ^You "I his not care to hear aDy sarcasm to-night; P?' on't believe I could stand it.

The attorney for Burr have submitted 0 the Supreme Court the necessary pa HMs for having McKay arrested for con empt of Court. Judge Valentine is the >nly Judge now in the case. This case rill become historic. The facta are these: Some timo ago Albert Honey weil gave 1 mortgage on hie farm to the Commonwealth Loan and Trust Company. It vas afterwards learned, it is alleged, that Honeywell was a man of unsound mind, ind-itt-jWrtTgub""1! hut he defaulted' payncnt.

Judge McKay made (he irder, but tho case was brought to the Supreme Court and reversed in a decision >y Judge Norton, who ordered the property turned over to Burr. Judge McKay was again petitioned to cinove Burr* and din so. Firmly iinlrcsscd with the opinion that the 8uiremo Court had jurisdiction, Burr reused to pay asy attention to the orders if McKay. The 21th district Judge hereupon ordered his arrest and fined iim^$50 and costs, and upon his refusal o pay ordered the sheriff to lock him up n jail.

The sheriff consulted an attorney, who advised him to pay no attention to M< Kay's orders, hut to await orders from the Supreme Court. He took thin advice, but made the Judge indignant. Judge McKay immediately issued a warrant for the arrest of the sheriff for interfering in carrying out his orders and for the rearrest of Burr, who was holding the property agipinst the mandates of the Court.

J 4 ., Watermelon* Shipped to Europe. Georgia is certainly in it as far as the melon business goes, says a Macon correspondent of tlio Atlanta Constitution. She does not stop nt circulating her products of the luscious fruit all over the ' United States, but she is experimenting in sending melons to Europe. The first melons shipped across the Atlantic were shipped by Mr. W. B. Sparks, of Macon, ana the Reddlbgfield Bros., the shipIToIb gem' thetuftS nf llicjiucst rail to New York and thence to Imud Wilson & Co., Liverpool, England, by steamer. This is absolutely the first shipment of melons to Europe directly from the melQn patches of the glorious South, and the success of the enterprise will be noted with great interest. The northern cities of Europe sometimes re- j ceive melons from Spain, but they are all ; very small, and would be considered no { melons at all in America. This is a great enterprise, because if London, Liverpool and Paris should receive the fine, large Southern melons which Georgians arc accustomed to, the Spanish melons would not stand any show at all l>eside them, not only because they arc small and not very sweet, but also because it is impossible for the Spaniards to mnkc a crop before August, on account of the climate and the nature of the soil. It is hoped that this experimental shipment will cause a demand for Georgia melons in Europe, and if it does the Europeans wrill receive the fruit early in June and j until late until August. 800 Colored Democrats. A New York special says: Colored Democrats, two from cash Assembly district in the city, met in the rooms of the Unique Club on Third avenue, near Ninety-ninth street, an'd arranged a programme by the following out of which they expect to bring the colored Democratic vote of the city into working order. A county organization was formed, upon whose list of membership were enrolled over 800 names. Captains, with instructions to establish district organizations in each of the Assembly district?, were appointed. It is admitted that there are from 1,200 to 1,500 out-and-out Democrats among the colored people now, and it is believed that organization will have the effect of increasing this number in a way to make the vote of the colored Democrats effective. 15 Year-old Girl Becomes a HighwayRobber.
