APPEAL TO A JUSTICE OF THE
PEACE. .
Is you de Justice ob de Peace ? I has a little
case
About a little matter, sah, dat happened on
de place.
I's nuffln but a nigger, but I's feelin's all de
same,
An' de way dat Massa Henry went an' done
me is a shame.
Last spring I foun' a little chicken, runnin'
in de road,
An' took it to dc quarters, sah, an'kep' it till
it growed.
I neber stole it, kase de law says ebcryting
you fin'
Belongs to you; au' so, ob co'se, de chicken
be was mine.
A week dis coniin' Tuesday, I was comin'
from de fiel',
An' happened for to 'member I was out ob
meat and meal;
So I begins to study 'bout what I's a-gwine
to do,
And thinks, says I, "Dat chicken's gittin'
big enough to stew."
So when I reached do quarters, sah, I says
unto my wife:
(I wouldn't tell a lie to you?no, not tosabe
my life!)
Says I to hei, "Ole 'onian," (you kin b'lieve
me, sah, or not,)
"Go catch dat Dominica/quick, an' put him
in de pot!"
She ?ays to me, "I t'ink myself dat chicken
would be good;
But how's I gwine to cook him, when dar
ain't a bit ob wood ?"
Dat was de combersation, sah, I gibs it word
for word,
An' Chloe she kin testify dat dat was what
occurred.
Says I ,'Go kill dat chicken! Don't you t'ink
I has no sense?"
An' I went to massa's wood pile, in de cor?
ner ob de fence;
I looked, an' didn't see no one, nor hear no
An' so I toted^dF wood enough to do me for
a week.
I wasn't stealin' when I went an' fetched de
wood away,
For ebery stick I 'spected to return some
oder day;
An' if a man kain't borry wood dat's layin'
out ob nights,
I'd like for you to tell me what's de use ob

"Well, Chloe picked de chicken, an' she
soused bim in de pot,
De fire was burnin' libely, an' de water git?
tin' hot.
When somet'ing went "o-rum! b-rum !"
right in de chimbley place,
Au' oll de smoke an' ashes come a blowin'

I fought it was de debil, an' it skeered me
mos' to deff. *
De smoke it come a puffin' so I couldn't
draw my breff;
De wood, de pot, de chicken, day was scat?
tered 'bout de floor,
An' me an' Chloe had important bizness at
de door.
De folks dey came a-runnin'; dar was Bob
an' Pete an' Bill,
An' dar was Massa Henry, jes' a-laughin' fit
to kill.
Good Men and Politics.
From the Southern Christian Advocate.
Every morning the public conscience
is shocked by new revelations of official
corruption. The daily papers might keep
certain head-lines "standing," for con?
stant ose. Indeed, we are surprised when
the telegraph does not bring us tidings of
new frauds practiced upon the people by
some of their servants?otherwise called
public officers. Men ask their neighbors,
as they open the morning paper, "Who
fell yesterday?" or "Whok found out
now ?" It seems to be very like a gener?
al pestilence; it is here, there, everywhere.
As in a great city desolated by cholera or
yellow fever, they cease to count the
dead, except in official records. Men be?
come accustomed to death. At such
times they grow careless and hard. We
saw, on one occasion, daring a cholera
season, men quarreling around an open
grave, about the fee for digging it. So
now, official corruption has become so
common that the people cannot "keep
tally," and the time has passed that new
revelations can surprise them.
Official reputations are tumbling on
every side. From the War Secretary
down?or up as men may judge?new
names are being entered on "the black
list." It is growing fearfully?portentious
ly long. It is inexpressibly distressing
and humiliating. Above all, in this Cen?
tennial year! Does it not seem that the
revenge now? What are we to think?
What are we to do?
One thing is quite clear to us; we must
not fall into the state of morbid suspi
ciousness of all public officers, because so
many*have turned out tobe thieves.?
There are no doubt hundreds of thieves,
but, as We believe, there are thousands of
honest men. This is a day of investiga?
tion, and therefore of retribution, for the
thieves. Investigation turns a calcium
light upon them and makes them con?
spicuous. But let us resist the temp ta?
tion to universal suspicion. We cannot
get along in society without confidence
in each other. A fundamental article
in our social and religious-creed is this:
"Honest men are in the majority." To
us it is, like the doctrine of justification
by faith, "wholesome and full of com?
fort." Croaking now is a sort of treason
to the country. The Roman general who,
in a time of disaster and distress, "did
not despair of the Republic," deserved
thanks voted him by the Senate and peo
Sle of Home. Good citizens should not
espair of our American Republic to?
day.
But there are some great practical
questions, we bad just as well make up
our minds to take hold of in real earn?
est.
For one thing, we have had enough of
government by professional politicians
and chronic place-hunters. They have
grown too great in their own eyes to be
great in the eyes of sober men. They
seem to think that the people exist for
them. They will actually bristle up with
porcupine indignation if their right to
govern and tax the" people for their spe?
cial benefit be challenged. Did they not
create the people? And do not the peo?
ple belong to them ?
The peoplerya great, patient pack
horse?has carried the intolerable burden
of mere place-hunters for a generation.?'
But the load has grown burdensome, and
the horse is going to "unload"?in some
way. The nders would save trouble by
dismounting at their "earliest conven?
ience." The patience of the people is
ereat. but it is not infinite.
monarchies are having their
Let the people-r-the good citizens?take
their affairs into their own hands. They
are quite able to manage them. Let
them begin at the bottom?attend the
"primary meetings" and vote and speak
as well as the "professionals." It will
startle the serenity of not a few. But the
people can stand it if the office hunter's
can't. There is great need of reform, as
it seems to us, in this matter of attending
the "primary" ward and.county meetings.
They have been welded into "rings" by
the place-seekers, let the people break the
rings and make them what they are prop?
erly called, "conventions." Our best
men, as a rule, do not go near these meet?
ings. And it is a very great misfortune
for the country. The good men frequent?
ly wake up to the necessity of doing
something to keep bad men from con?
trolling public aflaira, but generally,
when it is too late.
The time has come for self-denial?if
self-denial be necessary for the discharge
of a patriotic duty. Good men must take
?art?an active, controlling part, in politics.
'hey must, and if they will they can, tut
bad men out, and good men in, office.
In both parties there are honest and
true men; men who fear God and love
their country; who will administer the
laws righteously and collect the revenues
honestly. Let them be sought out aud
brought to the front, They are not loud
moutbed men; they do not blow a trum?
pet before them in the streets.. But the
people can find them.
We want the wisest, strongest, purest,
best men to rule over us. But the wisest,
strongest, purest, best, are not the men
who nave no business or trade in the
world, but to hold office, and who have
never done anything to merit office ex?
cept to rend the heavens with their own
praises and to weary and disgust decent
people with their interminable clamors,
crying like the two daughters of the horse
leach?"Give I Give!" Italianlazzaroni
are modest in comparison with these pro?
fessional office-seekers. Indeed, the com?
parison does injustice to the lazzaroni,
for although no gifts can satisfy them,
their importunate mouths may be stopped
for a while.

Good Joke on a Married Man.
A joke is told on a certain gentleman
of this city which is too good to be lost.
Our friend, who shall be nameless, pur?
chased a pair of pants a few days ago,
which, upon being tried on at home, ne
found to oe a little bit too long. That
night he remarked to his wife that he
wished her to take off about an inch from
each leg, which would make them the
desired length. Being fond, as a good
many wives are, of teasing her husband,
she told him 'fiat-footed' that she
shouldn't do anything of the kind, and
he retired finally without having obtained
a promise from her that she would attend
to the matter. Soon after he had left
for his room, however, she as a matter of
course clipped off the superfluous inch,
as she had been requested to do. The
family is comprised of six female mem?
bers, in addition to the 'good man,' and
it chanced that each one of the other five,
who were in the adjoining rooms, inclu?
ding the mother of our friend, heard the
dispute between the man and wife about
the pants, and after the latter bad taken off
the inch and retired, the old lady, desiring
to 'keep peace in the family,' and not
knowing what her daughter-in-law had
done, cautiously slipped into the room
and cut off another inch. In this way
did each of the five ladies, unknown to
the others, and all with the praiseworthy
object of preventing any misunderstand?
ing between the married couple, clip an
inch from the legs of the gentleman's
trowsers. The following morning, all
unconscious of what had taken place
during the night, he rolled up the pants
in a piece of paper and took them to his
tailor to be shortened to the desired
length. Upon a hasty glance the latter
ventured the opinion that they were al?
ready rather snort; but the owner was
too well posted on that score and insisted
that they were fully an inch too long.?
The tailor had no more to say, and our
friend retired. On the following Satur?
day he called for the pants and took them
home, and the next morning, when he
come to put himself inside of them, he
was supremely disgusted at finding that
the legs reached only a trifle below his
knees. In other words, they had been
altered to the fashion of a century ago,
when knee-breeches were in vogue. He
straightway accused his tailor of having
ruined his pants, and his indignation was
expressed in language anything but mild.
His wife heard him and came to the res?
cue of the Knight of the Shears, explain?
ing that she had taken ah inch from each
of the legs; and her acknowledgment
was followed by that of each of the other
five ladies, when iL was discovered that,
altogether, the legs had actually been
shortened to the extent of seven inches 1

Romantic Incident in Boston.?A
rather remarkable incident occurred re?
cently in the prosaic city of Boston,
which has at least the merit of novelty,
and is not lacking the poetic element. A
stranger entered a horse-car, and was
quietly seated in a corner, when a lady
with a bright-eyed little girl of three
years entered and took a seat next to him.
The child, wishing to watch the street
sights, stood up between the two. Mr.
A., noticing that the child was playful,
indulged in a little quiet familiarity, and
at length remarked, as the car passed
round a curve: "Don't fall, baby, papa
will be sorry." The lady's face, which
had worn rather a smiling expression,
changed at once, but, before he recovered
his senses, seeing the faux pas he had
made, the little girl exclaimed: "Papa's
dead." The position was embarrassing,
but he turned the conversation by a cas?
ual remark. The child, however, turn?
ing her blue eyes upon him, said in the
most artless manner: "You dot any little
girls?" "No," replied the gentleman;
"I had a little girl once, but she and her
mother are both dead." The mother of
the child was now more confused than
ever, but when her eyes met those of the
gentleman, there was a sympathetic ex?
pression perceptible. The lady left the
car, and though no word had been ex?
changed between them, the fact that the
one was a widow and the0other a widow?
er was known to both. The favorable
impression created was mutual, for a
chance meeting, a few days after, was
availed of by the gentleman to offer an
apology for what might be considered
rudeness on his part in speaking to the
child, and the lady's excuses for the for?
wardness of her little girl led to an ac?
quaintance, which will in a few weeks, if
report speaks the troth, result in an al?
liance, which will unite the mother and
child to a most excellent husband and
fond father, who holds an honorable po?
sition in a western city.?Boston Jour?
nal.
Let it Dry.?Mr. Spurgeon once went
to preach in a church a little outside of
London. The day was wet and muddy,
and the pants of Mr. Spurgeon were plen?
tifully covered with dirt. A good deacon
in the vestry said, "Brother Spurgeon, let
me get a brush and take off some of that
mud, you can't go into the pulpit in that
state." "Don't tie foolish, deacon 1" said
Mr. Spurgeon in his usual good humored
way, "don't you see the mud is wet, and
if you try to brush it off now you will rub
the stain into the cloth? Let it dry and
then it will come off easy enough, and
leave no mark." There is an admirable
hint here for every one. When evil
spoken against as we may be for the sake
of the truth and men throw mud at us,
don't be in a hurry about brushing it off.
Too great eagerness in this respect is apt
to rub the stain into the cloth. Let it
dry, and then, by and by, if need be, it
can be removed by a little effort.
If there is a little trouble in the church,
don't foster it by haste and hurry in do?
ing something. Let it alone, let it dry
and it will be more easily settled than
you think now. Time has a wonderful
power in such matters, and it is surpris?
ing how many things in this world would
be far better arranged and how many dif?
ficulties easily got over by judiciously let?
ting them dry.?Baptist Standard.

? The other day a Detroiter who had
a good record of army service, took down
his revolver to shoot a cat which had
been hanging about the house. After
looking at him while he fired six shots,
the cat walked away. While he was
loading up for more destruction, the
shooters small boy inquired, "Father, did
you ever kill any one while you were in
the army?" "I suppose so, my son."?
After a long pause the hoy continued,
"Then you must have got near enough to
have hit 'em with an axe, didn't you ?"
It was then discovered to be about school
time.
? A lady who had visited the Centen?
nial, and consequently has valuable ex?
perience, says that those who go there
must not wear any articles they do not
expect to ruin entirely. The grounds are
five miles from the city, and the streets
are deep with dust which goes through
clothing like a sieve. Ladies are advised
to wear linen suits, and hats should be
as near dust color as possible and very
plainly trimmed.
A Toothache Story.
A man Darned Holland, living out on
the Gos.s farm, was attacked with a severe
toothache the other evening, and he
thought his head would, split open. He
would sic down for a moment, holding
his fafle in one of hid bands, and groan.
Then he would jump up and pace the
floor, and kick at something that happen?
ed to lie in his course, and then sit down 1
and groan some more. It was a bad case.
Everybody in the house was made miser?
able by the man's sufferings and lamen?
tations. He tried holding alum and salt
in his mouth, and binding horse-radish
leaves on the outside of his jaw, but they
did no good. Finally somebody came
across a copy of Dr. Chase's Receipt Book,
and therein was a balm for every ill. In
two minutes a recipe was selected and a
courier dispatched with it to a drug
store in the city to have it "put up." He
returned in due time, and a dose of the
compound, which contained among other
ingredients liberal quantities of ether and
chloroform, was administered. Present?
ly the toothache was relieved and the pa?
tient felt himself gradually being over?
powered by sleep. The suspicion all at
once crossed his mind that he had been
poisoned. He became greatly alarmed,
and appealed to those present, in a frenzy
of desperation, to save him from his im?
pending fate. A doctor was immediately
sent for, and while the messenger was
gone the alarm was communicated to the
neighbors. One of the men seized a pail
ana rushed out into the pasture, where
he woke up a cow, milked about a quart
and hurried back to the house. This the
dying man drank, and had just finished
when another neighbor came in and said
that there was nothing so sure an anti?
dote for all kinds of poison as raw eggs.
Seven or eight raw eggs were given the
suffering man, and be bad just intimated
that it wasn't possible for him toswallcw
another, when two more neighbors ar?
rived simultaneously?one bearing a can
of lard and the other a tea-saucer full of
coffee. The lady with the lard said that
they must help her to get some of it down
him right away?there wasn't a minute
to lose?and the one with the coffee set
about preparing a cup of that beverage
for the dying man, which, she said, must
be strong enough to bold up an iron
I wedge. The unfortunate man bed got
down a tea-cupful of lard when the cof?
fee was ready, and he unbuttoned bis
waistcoat-and swallowed it. There seem?
ed to be just room enough left for it.?
Another neighbor came in, and insisted
that what the patient needed was an
emetic to throw the poison out of the
stomach. He said the quicker they did
something of that kind the better it
would be for him and that it was danger?
ous to delay the matter a moment longer.
They had prepared a quart bowl of strong
salt and water, and were urging Holland
to take some of it when the doctor ar?
rived. He examined the contents of the
bottle carefully, tasted it, and then said:
"This is all right; a very good remedy
for toothache and neuralgia?gives the
patient a rest for a time from his pain."
"And ain't it poison ?" gurgled the man,
who was so full of new milk, raw eggs,
lard, coffee, and salt water, that he could
scarcely articulate, "ain't it poison, doc?
tor?" "Well, no ; not exactly; and yet,
a quart or two of it might kill a man?or
it might not?it would depend a good
deal on his condition. A man of your
health and constitution could easily get
away with a churn full of it."?Find du

Beautiful Tbibute to, Woml..,?
We have read many beautiful tributes to
lovely women, but the following is the
finest we ever read:
Place her among flowers, foster her as
a tender plant, and she is a thing of fan?
cy, waywardness and folly?annoyed by a
dew-drop; fretted by the touch of a but?
terfly's wing, ready to faint at the sound
of a beetle, or the rattling of a window
pane at night, and she is overpowered by
the perfume of the rose bud. But when
the real calamity comes, rouse her affec?
tions, enkindle the fires of her heart, and
mark her then 1 Place her in the heat of
the battle, give her a child, a bird or any?
thing to protect?and see her in a relative
instance, lifting her white arm as a shield,
as her own blood crimsons her upturned
forehead, praying for her life to protect
the helpless. Transplant her in the dark
places of the earth, call forth .her ener
fles to action; and her breath becomes a
ealing, her presence a blessing. She
disputes inch by inch the strides of a
stalking pestilence, when man, the strong
and brave, pale and affrightened, sinks
away. Misfortune daunts her not, she
wears a life of silent endurance, and goes
forward with less timidity than to her
bridal. < In prosperity she is a bud full of
odors, ?waitmg for winds of adversity to
scatter them abroad?gold, valuable but
untried in the furnace. In short, woman
is a miracle, a mystery, the center of
form which radiates the charm of exis?
tence.
A Warning to Boys.?It has long
beeu known that it was injudicious for
any one to go into the water to bathe just
after eating a full meal, but it is not so
well known that the practice may result
in death. This latter fact seems to have
been demonstrated by the recent death in
a bath in Bristol, England, of a boy thir?
teen years old. He had never had a fit,
and is believed to have been in perfect
health. When found in the water the
crown of his head was just above the sur?
face, and he was standing in a stooping
position with his face just under the wa
ter. At the place where he was the wa?
ter was only three feet four inches deep,
while the boy's height was four feet nine
inches. The temperature of the water
was seventy-six degrees. The medical
testimony disclosed the fact that the de?
ceased had eaten heartily before entering
the water, or at least he had not given his
food time to digest. He had vomited a
large quantity of food and when found
his mouth and throat were full. The
opinion was expressed in the medical tes?
timony, and indorsed by the verdict of
the jury, that death resulted from epi?
lepsy, brought on by the dangerous prac?
tice of entering the water immediately
after eating a meal.
Ten Years of Faithful. Love.? I
Ten yeas ago, a young man was sent to
the penitentiary from Marshall county,
la. He was engaged to a worthy young
woman, and when he went to prison she
made the journey with him. He was in?
toxicated when the crime was committed,
and otherwise would not have committed
it. The woman has kept her faith
through all these years. She has regu?
larly visited him, and for the past tew
years, has made constant efforts to pro?
cure his release; but the Executive has
turned a deaf ear to her entreaties, until
a short time ago, she appealed to Gov.
Kirkwood with such devoted zeal, that
he granted her request, and, with the
pardon in her possession, she hastened to
the penitentiary and presented her pa
fiers. The prison doors swung open, and
caning on the arm of him she had lost
and won, she made her exit, a happy
smile wreathing her face. Chaplain
Williams courteously tendered his ser?
vices to complete the fruition of their
their hopes; but the patient maiden re
Elied that, after ten years' waiting, a few
ours' delay could be endured, so that
her friends might share with her the joys
of love's labor won.?Chicago Tribune.
? When the late Judge Underwood
reached a small mountain stream which
had been swollen by heavy rains, he hes?
itated to cross in his buggy, and was
asked if a good Christian like himself
was afraid to attempt the ford ? "I have
read in the Bible," he said, "that to
every man's life tnere is an appointed
end, but I don't want it said of me that I
was drowned in a creek called Oonchecke

of Baltimore, who has been pronounced
incurably ill from a spinal disease, has
requested a prominent physician after
her death to make an examination into
the cause of her diseases, in the presence
of a few medical students and physicians.
Her reasons for making the request are
that the post mortem can do her no in?

desires in this manner to express her
gratitude to her physicians who labored
for her relief; and lastly she regards it
as a duty -she owes her sex and her God.

THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD.
-0
OTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than T?RE WATER. Such is fur?
nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh
from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No
snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,
and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth?
er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the
water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of
water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to
extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work?
ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify.
It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon
which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining
Counties, together with the Counties of Hart and Elbcrt in Georgia, I"'

"The ANSON HARDY CUTTING MACHINES
are the best and cheapest low priced machine made,
and have a national reputation for utility and du?
rability."?(The Electro-typer, Chicago)"
"The ANSON HARDY PAPER CUTTER is by
far the best machine which can be obtained for a
less price than one hundred dollars. It is of great
strength.
"These machines have always taken the highest
stand. It is the only machine to which is applied
the patent Movable Cutting Board. This device has
a reputation of itself; by it, the cutting board can
be instantly and accurately moved, so that a perfect
cut is Insured. This is a very important point in
this machine, and one that is possessed by no other.
It greatly reduces the labor of preparation in work?
ing the paper backward and forward. We cannot
too strongly recommend the advantages of this pat?
ent movable board. It is worth the price of this
machine, and purchasers should fully understand
how highly it is to be valued."?(Rowell's 4 Co.'s
