FEW days ago I rc17?-?-jfqKceivod a most unique L VHtB epwtle through the N -iyS JB mail, of which the following is an exHes hev fotch home .?- -tst V \ Peggie, and air a-livin' r"23^ with her at the Fork. I think he is gettin' kure I of his bashfulness. These lines, crudely written, and wilh words misspelled, are the sequel to a little drama from real life which fell under my imuie liate observation, and with this preface 1 will relate it here. Several months ago there was a curious pair of moonshiners c mtined in the At lanla jail, serving out a sentence. In my daily visits to the jail I used to spend a great deal of time watching them. They were not ordinary moonshiners, in actions at least. The other moonshiners referred to them as "Hezekiah Sniggletree and his [top," and that's who found thein to be later on. This odd couple did not mingle with the crowd of prisoners who were continually gossiping sway the hours. They always sat apart, talking together, and apparently enjoying each other's companionship greatly. The older of tho two meu was a heavy fellow of about fifty years?a typical mountaineer, with flowiqg red beard and hair of a darker shade. The other was some thirty years his juuior, but lie had the same features, and the same bmld. The only difference between them was that one was younger and his face was freo from the heavy board which covered the face of the other. Day by day I watched this strangely assorted pair with interest. One day the 1 older one, who had noticed ino watching thera beckoned me to come over to where tho two were sitting alone. I went or?r. "Don't you write for ther papers?">ho I iiflHrdaiffiirii# J I "Well," said he, the twinkle becdm| ing more pronounced, and coinmuuica ting itself to his features, "I want yoi ter write up llez." What about Hez?" I asked. lie jerked his thumb over his shoulder iu the direction of his juvenile compan* ion. 'Doyer see that boy?" ho asked. I saw the boy. Well," he continued, tliHt's the bashfullest cuss in creashun !'' He brought his open palm down on his big fat leg to give emphasis to the assertion. Hcz shuttled about uneasily, his face was as red as a beet, and he seomed to be hunting a place to repose his big, awkward hands. He uttered no protest to his father's statement. Hez," his father went on, speaking a fhn car11?7 r.MtfK llf'm a*goin' to tell." Tho boy's embarrassment Increased. "No, don't pap," be pleaded feebly. "I am," the senior Sniggletree continued with firmness. "I'm a-gwineter spout the hull bizness ter this fellow, and he'll put you in thor papers," and he chuckled gleefully at the prospect of getting Hez into the papers. Hez only groaned. "Go ahead,"! urged, "nud let's have it." Fniggletreo sonlor, by the way of answer dived into his capacious nooket and drew forth a big plug of tobacco, and after biting off several ounces, he told mo his story, or rather the story ol Hez. To tell it in his language would require too much space, and then I cannot do justice to his peculiar style of expressing things. I give it in my own. I lump Bniggletree was a moonsblnei by profession, and from bis earliest boyhood be had trained his only son, Hex, to lead a moonshiner's life. Hez was an apt pupil, jjnd as the senior Mr. Sniggletree expressed it with pride "was as spry as a cricket 'round his still." The only trouble with Hez was bis basbfulness. lie had a reputation for bashfulness all over the section where he lived. Ho wai called "Bnshful TTez" among bis intimatr friends. As Hez grew into manhood thii failing became more pronounced, but if did not interfere with his work. In the distillery business Mr. Sniggle tree had a partner, who shared in th< expenses, the labors and the profits o the establishment. This partner wa RufT Raskins, and he, with his two stal wart sons, aided (lamp Sniggletreo in tb management of the distillery. Their little distillery was located in picturesque ravine, which would hav delighted an artist. In this heautifv aud secluded spot no revenue officer eve set foot, and for years the flniggletree and Buskins made mountain dew, with out ever being discovered. They store* away the results of their labors an smiled in cool defiance of the interna revenue laws. Now, they might havo gone on for quarter of. a century in this way an their coffers might have swelled wit richness, but for ouo thing that came 1 pass.' And but for that thing thfa atoi would never have been written. Peguie Baskins was the prettieat gi in all the vicinity of Hawkins Fori She was a healthy, well-developet rosy-cheeked mountain girl, simple I , life and simple in habjMtapoe played sad havoc with the hearuHEthe mountain youth* who oame^to knbtv her. In her simple homespun" ^toek, with her wealthrol golden lacta caught lightly together by a ribbotf&nnd allowed to fall ^ in luxuriant uass^Wtr her shapely ^ shoulders, she made a pretty picture to look ttpon. It was a long way i}p the ravine from where the Baekins Urea to tho distillery, and every day Peggie would carry the noonday meal to her father and brothers at their work. Hez wouldtteal ely glances at her. but ho never ventured to P*ak to her more than saying "Howd'ye, Peggie." The heart of a youth like Hen Bniggletree is very susceptible to feminine charms, and it was only in the natural course of things that the bashful youth should completely lose his heart to the* fair Peggie. When Hez a love for Peggie began, he could never tell. It "jes* grow'd on him," he said, and he awoke to the consciousness that he was in love one tine morning. How many hundred times did he plan to speak to her, and how many hundred times did his resolution fail in her matchless presence. But finally his consuming love made him bold. One day at the dlstillory while Peggie was waiting for her father and brothers to finish their dinners, Hez ventured up to Peggie, and said in a trembling voice: a- __ - _ 1- ? 1 yuu alr purv; tu pints." "Oh, Hez, you tease!" she exclaimed, and Hez was frightened out of his wits. To add to his contusion, Jeems Bask ins caught sight of him, and bawled out: "Ha, ha, ha, lookee yonder. Hez is makin' love ter sis! That do beat me." Covered with confusion Hez rushed back to his work, and for three whole weeks he would not even look at Peggie on her visits to the stillhouse. But all the time his love was growing warmer, and one day he grew bold again, when all eyes were turned away. "Peggie," he said in a pleading tone, "I'm a-goin' ter walk down the ravine with you." She blushed prettily and laughed moderately. "Well, you air a stunuer," she declared. Hez was doubtful what was meant by that, and he debated mentally for a moment whether it was wise to go with a young lady after having received such a criticism as that, but he determined to goHe walked along beside Peggie for quite a distance in sileuce. He wantod to say something. Tho words choked in his mouth. "Peggie," he said Anally, getting his breath rapidly, "when I told you you wur purty as pinks, I meant it." "Oh, Mr. -Hezl" she exclaimed in a shocked tone, and then she burst out laughing. Hez stopped stock still in the pathway before her. There was a hurt look on his face, and ho fumbled nervously with his hands. "See here, Poggy," he said, reprov* ingly, "you orten't tor laugh at a feller liko that. I meant it?I?I?Peggie, you know what I mean I" He stammered hopelessly; she laughed more and more. "Peggie," Hez continued solemnly and placing his big nanus across his | stomach, "I am all broke up in hero I about you. I can't sleep Jer thinking of you. I?I?want?you?say, Peggy, will you have me?" 1 tone and Peggffe sioppo.t laughing. "Mr. Hez," she said stern, "ain't you 'sharaod." Hez looked orcstfallcn, indood. "I mean it, Peggy," he said apologetically. "I want you ter matry tne. Will you have mc?" 'Oh 1" Peggie ejaculated. She seemed to be deeply interested in unfastening a knot she had tiod in .the strings of her bonnet. She did not r^ply. "Say, Peggy," Hez pleaded desperately, "will you?'" She looked up quickly at the lovosiok youth. "Do you mean it, shore 'null?" she asked. " 'Fore God I do," affirmed Hez. "Well," Bald Peggio. "I?I?yes." What anxious young suitors do when accepted of the tnaideus they love is a matter irrelevant to this story. But for n lonir time after Hez had been accented, he stood gazing at Peggie, without say> ing a word. "Hez," she finally asked, "are you sorry?" "Naw," he said. "I ain't sorry. I wus jes a-thinking." This mental process seemed to be Tory agonizing to the youug suitor. As he continued to think his manner grew very disturbed. He fumbled with hie hands, his mouth twitched. Thinking seemed to be a painful operation to him. | "Peggy," said he after a long pause, "what'll they^Mt" Peggy thought for a moment. ' "Oh, they'll kid you," she said. This confirmed the terrible apprehensions which had been flitting through Hez's > mind during the few moments that ho had enjoyed the distraction of being the accepted lover of Peggie Baskms. f "All the boys'll guy me," he said mournfully. "Yes," said Peggie, "they will." i Hez thought again, for a long while. "Peggie," he said, "I'll tell you? r we'll elope." r Peggie was hornnefl. ' What, run away?" she asked [ "We'll elope ter Qiluier Count*." } lie* continued, "an' git married, whar t they don't know us. I know Tom , Giddens over tlinr, an' we'll olope ter hit ^ house and marry." Every woman lias a spark of romance in her composition. Every woman likes B to do things that stnack of romance,and f this mnun'ain maid was no exception, n She finally yielded to llez's plan for an elopement. On the following Sunday e afternoon they would elopo. Together they would go over into Gilmer County A ond get married among people where 0 there whs no danger of being teased. ,1 There was no reason on earth why Hex ,r Sniggletrcc and Peggie Baskins should 9 run away to get married. Their parents |a looked upon their union with favor. ? They had regarded it as probable, al(j though they had never even observed the (lrat evidences of courtshin. Thev would haro accepted the announcoraenl a of tbeii marriage with delight. Hut in (1 the face of these facta Hoz deliberate!] (l planned an elopement.

H { was de*j>eratoly in earncat, and he eon Y yidered this elopement absota!^ bscm MKcGintv on his noted descent to theebS "torn of the see, wh drossdd in his beet iuit of olothee. Side by side, this pair turned into the rocky country road, leading across the mountains to Gilmer County?eloping. All through the afternoon they trudged over the rough rpad, and just as the sun was setting gloriously behind Lost Mountain they csmo la sight of Tom Giddens's house. Tom Giddeas and his "wife had ar[ ranged a warm welcome for the bridal couple. A number of their neighbors had been invited in, aad the Hardshell minister wss on hand to say the oeremony. The reoeption was a little more than Hez had bargained or honed for, and he secretly wished that he had instructed Tom not to have any one around. He ana reggie sat down m toe corner together, and all eyes were turned upon them, and all questions directed to them. The minister had to talk to them, and everybody else plied them with questions. Hez began to think that eloping was not what it wm represented to bo. As long as he lives Hoc will remember the marriage ceremony. He will remember how he stood in a stupor in the middle of the floor, beside Peggy feeling the keenest misery and hoping that the earth would open and swallow him up. It was agony to the poor fellow. But when the ceremony was over matters became worse; Evyrvbaft* pressed upon thtm. "Kiss the bride!" yelled a half-dozen youngsters. "He's 'shamed to kiss 'er!" they yelled derisively. Everbody was laughing. Hez did not know what to do or say, and the youthful humorists, bent on fun, grew louder and more boisterous that he kiss the bride. Confused, crestfallen, miserable, agonized. Hea pushed aside the crowd. "Let me git out!" he said, and in one bound he reached the door. Once outside, his one idea was to get away. He never thought of returning to be tortured by that crowd. He found his way to the big, open road and, fortunately, struck out in the direction of his home. He hit the road in* a trot, and once in it, he increased his speed amazingly. Down the road with streaming coat tails and open mouth this groom flew like the wiuu. uown mils, up niiu, over level pieces, through forests, over branches, this discomfited and dismayed husband dashed at a clipping pace. He never stopped to think, the idea predominant in his mind was to get away, IIow fur he would hare ran if he had not beon stopped will never be known. For five miles he flew like mad over the mountains, when, before he knew, he rushed into the arms of three men. Haiti" they yelled, and Hex fell panting at their feet. From this poiut the told by I Mr. Hamp Sniggletree: Them there fellers wux revy'ner officers an' they wur a-pros pectin' around f?r s still.

The extract from a letter from the hand of Mr. Hamp Sniggletree himself, printed at fhe top of this column, gives the sequel to the story.? A%p*Oonstitution. The Weather Bureau. The Weather Bureau Department ot the United States service was, on its organization, piaced in charge of the ohief signal officer of the United States army, hence the name?Signal Service?by which it has been know until recently. Its duties were to take and record meteorological observations and to re* port and give notice by electric telegraph of the approach and the force of storms, for the benefit of commerce and agricui* culture. In a paper read at a meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society by J. W. Smith, of the Weather Bureau,ou the relation of the bureau to agriculture, it is said that the actual work began Nov?n,H?r 1. 1R7U. with the 7:35 A. M. ob sorvation taken at twenty-four different stations in various parts of the whola country. These were telegraphed to Washington, tho central station, and thence transmitted in the same manner to offices located at the commercial centres of the entire country, to be disseminated through the daily papers and by other methods. Upon the foundation thus laid*ha/ been erected the present weather ser vice. February 19, 1871, wk? issued the first bulletin of "probabilities," sinc< called "indications," and now "tore< casts." Thus far the labors of <$1* ser ico were chiefly in the interest' of agri culture. Tho next step was tho display of storm signals at stations on the Sea* board, the Gulf and the great lakes. The groat territory of the United States has been divided into districts, and by making a special study of cacti the "forecasts" arc made more deflnitt and exact for each of them, thus tnori effectually promoting the interests of tli< farmers therein. | During the growing season a larg< number of correspondent* are enlisted all over the country to gather and tran?< mit trustworthy information on the pro gresa of the crops ami the effect of thi weather upon them.

Dr. Bauermann, has published a series of very curious observations touchi ng the artificial coloration of birds. The fact is recognized, says be. that canary birds fed on cayenne pepper insensibly change color and pass from yellow to red. Cayenne pepper, in additiou to a tinctorial substance, contains an irriI tating principle and an oily matter. When these two latter principles are exi tracted through maceration in alcohol, the pepper loses its coloring property I upon the plumage of the birds; but if i olive oil be added to the product ol maceration the coloring Actiou reappears. , It is inferred from this that the oily part , of the (x ppcr is the necessary vehicle o< the color. Experiments made upon wholly white hens have given au identica result. These hens possess the property of foreshadowing a change in tin temperature by a very marked change o , tint.
