Till I've sorter got to thinktn' that it's sinful
to complain,
That there's jest a* much of pi ensure as there

That there ain't no more to cuss about than

There's another old time doctrine, an' I've
found it mighty true,
That you never get a thing without a-losin'
That there never was a gain without a correspondin'

That you're not agoin' to wear a crown unless

nY OPIE P. 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

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

The Indies tittered, and the old fel- '

"Pity for you then, I reckou, as all | c

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. <

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

of me, morally, but because our '
istes are, doubtless, dissimilar. Now, do
you want to hit me with that stick, I $

"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

"My dear fellow," Miles answered,

in to reward her future husband, but I

F "Oh, it must be delightful to be so j

was your father?" .
"His name is Andrew Miles." j
"What does he do?" j
1 'Ho is a lawyer." y
"Ah? A strange country this, when j
the aristocracy is mainly composed ol ?
lawyers. 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 (

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

while the buprcme Court hnd the ease

irrested on an order from McKay. The
Jench and the Bar are awaiting with
ireatliiess anxiety the next move of the
urist who presides over the 24th district
ind laughs at the plutocratic Judges in
ropeka, who think they can dictate to
liin because they are called Supreme
fudges.
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.
The creditors askea that re
reiver be appointed to take charge of the
property^ The Probate Court appointed
i gunrdiajLv.'to Honey weil, ana Judge
McKay;dtHprad qualified and taken his
scat while ttie case was at igsuc, was ask?d
to dismiss the receiver" and let the
piarnian lor Money wcu rase cnargc 01
lis property. 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. Habeas corpus proceedings were
nstitutcd before the Supremo Court, and
fhureday l?9t Burr was re'eased after
riviny htmtCiu Judge McKay
Issued*an orn? vAr the agents, which
Burr had appointed to look after tho
crops on the place, to vacate, and instructed
(he siigriff to see that hiB orders
were obeyed. 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. McKay will now be called before
the Supreme Court to answer to charges
of contempt.
It is said that McKay always seeks the
advice of thO;,AlHance consulting committee
before "rendering an opinion. At
the time-?? hUr election he denied the

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.
