Then old man Simpson he gin ?bat they ead the Indian war whoop, and we'uns ail ri/. The boys bad Hung on hillery logs and ligbt'ocd knots and kep up a good bread night, KO we mighty quick got our break fast and pitchi d out lor town. The r de waa strobe plum lull of wuggins, and tber was a big drove of us a walkin'. Its so bard on tl?e critters to pull the wag gins *?p hill I'd druther walk a? lo ride. Cid Miss Strong driv ber own -her that day. Ile is a old one eyed, muley steer, and turribly hard headed and un ruly, he kep I u idy or I'iip one or t'other watch in* ol him ail the time. Once't we bearii somebody holler, and looked back and lo and behold old Muley bad K?pt thc yoke and wari ji-t a teano' through the woods bard OS lie could -lave, lind thur sot tdd Miss h trou g hiked up on ber Waggin yeilin like she was burnt. Ihiddy 'lowedii lie hadn't aseen what was the matter he'd n swore she was a sin.min', for she squealed pine blank like she done in mcetin' a Sunday. Hight hiniirt of folks ovcrtuck tn 'lore we got to Talla degy, and it made sieb a string ol wag gins, and tber was so much hollerin' ami gec-hnwin' a gwine pu 1 'ap he 'lowed it minded him ot when be wu? a boy, time his folks lill moved to Texas in wuggim, arid it tuck 'cm up'ards ol six weeks to git thar. That was 'fore so many ri- i roads wo? made, and ji?t lo think now you can go to lexus so quick, as Huck Simpson says, like you was -hot out ol a gun. Cousin l'ink bad never been to town in her life. Cnledooy bad been thar right smart of times, and so Cousin Pink and mc '!? wed we'd watch Cab elotiy and see how the done. I mind mighty well the fust time 1 went, Pap tuck me longer him, and I was skeered so bad I pinned my haiikerchcr under my belt and held on to Cnlcdony's bund uti the time. I don't know what I'd a done if it hadn't n been for Culedony. Me nnd her went everwhnrs, and we got so tired a traipsin around we set down on .Miss Wilmnn's Steps to rest, and folks gazed at us like they never bud saw nobody afore. Pap he bought us a whole passel of ginger-cakes, and we went all over town u chaw in' of 'em and lot'lti' a red apple in our hands. And Culedony she hope mo pick out a Sundny-go-tu-mcet* in' cnliker frock that day. Maw she hud told me to git a blue un und you rnought bile it and it wouldn't fade, but 1 sot my eye on a reel un. Tho store man be cut us off ii whole passel ol scrops to see if they'd fnde. Some highfalutin school gala wus a stntidln' thar lulkin' and gig glin' longer tho derk, and nays. I to Cule dony, says I, "See herc, Ca?, chaw this here rag and ncc if it will fade," and when she spit in ber band it was as blue .iii iudiger, so 1 tuck ibo red un ; and them gals liken to a took u lit. Cal 'lowed abo didn't fcecr, abc wiu j i-t ns good or bettcr'n airy town gal herself. That was n long limo ngo w hen I was a little gnl, and t'other day when we went to town wo'lowed to K? thar to Miss Wilmnn's agin and git us some more ginger-cakes. We had hcarn about Ibe new A. cV A. railroad, and wo crossed the tinck of it fernem Puzzle's, and when wo driv in town what should we see sot right thar v. har Miss Wilmnn's old cake shop used to be but u great big line house, the A. & A. depot. It putty nigh fetched tho tears to my eyes when I though I about tho time mo nod Cal sot on the steps and rested and ct our cakes. Pup he was a try in' to atop old Lou-i-zy nnd old Hall, and hollerin' so loud you could hear bim all over town, "Whoa, come here, Hall - gee-whoa-no-ho ! 1 tell you. Ulust my buttons cf I ever try to work a old blind mar longer a hard headed steer agin. Woo-ho 1 Look a here Timothy," says he to buddy, "I know I haint drunk, I hnint aced a drap, but it 'pears to me the town or me one or t'other ia turned around wrong sido foremost, or mebbe we've tuck tho wrong road and come in at t'other eend of town, for I wi* ht I may hang ef that ar nint whar wc allers gol our giugrr bread." Maw she axed lu a minute who lived thar, ana old Miss Slrong she piiittd nt thc Couti House and axed who lived thar. I tel1 you the new depot is fine. I hcarn n 'omun Hay it ensembles a "Chitiose gopada," and I reckon it do. I never have ?aw one. Tho railroad is sorter like them cicl?me harryenncs, it tars everything out'n hs way. It toro edi' tho eend ol Miss Hue. d?ti?ca garden, and toro down Miss ji.? ker's hen 'ouse, nnd tore down them big planks that had all them show pictures on 'em, too, to let it through town, but they aro nil monstrous proud of it, and they uro hxln' to nm anotlier'n fruin thar to New nun, Georgy, that will blasa, right through our later patch. They'd a done mnde it 'foro now, but two ol the men got to quarrelin' about which one of 'cm thought of it fust, and so now they are gwine to run two roads ono right spang ?ide of t'other. Cnledony hope Maw soil her chickens and nigs and things'but she was mighty besot about her ean* nonp. It never fetched much. Maw ?be wanted wo'tins to alick closo lo ??ether feared .son.-?, of us mought git oat. Old Miss SiroHt never got two inches from Maw, and July Ann Crabtree kop up with us all di . a higgin' her yearlin' baby on her hip all over town and hit a ' squaliin' loud as it could bawl. She gin it gii?ger-cake, and she gin it apple, mid she gin it water, and she most Livered it with brown sugar and sot it up on the counter, and still it yelled and kicked and thar stood Crabtree with his hands crammed down in bis brcechca pockets and never hopo her nuss it n minute. Old Miss Strong 'lowed, (and ho boam her too,) says sho, I lay if hit was my young'n he'd ??AS it or it would go on-nussed." Maw she was a trndin' off her sail soap money for a bale of spun truck and a pat bf cards, and old Miss Strong was a jew in' the man on a lectio grain of sugar and coffee to have on hand for sickness, and Caledony jerked me to less go in t'other house, to git a String of blue beads she seed, in the winder, and when I turned around what you reckin-why old M?BS Strong had dono clum up on top of the counter-biota you-and was a settin' thur wit h her big muddy feet a danglin' in the air. Maw Mowed, says she, "Git down sister Strong," says she, "git down for massy'? sake you're n plum sight iou alr-git .down, I tell you," giving or a jerk, for shit waa ? fix in' to set thar; Mowed ehe was wore out a .stand in', and didn't care who knowed it-she was tired and wasn't a g wi nu in for looks. Jes then old Miss Puticuco Potter came in, and I wlsbt I may die if tho starch in ber eye-brows wasn't no thick you couldn't see a har. Shi looked all around like abo waa huutin' for something, and after B}Io howdye'd na she said : "See hero,,Mister, ia this hero the -placo whar. you go to git your pintur atruckJ?" *'No, it aint tho place," saya be, and while she stood -gat'jy around, be tuck bis pencil from behind bis year and drawed hrr jiictiir tel you'd a knowed it any whare, but she never Feed it. Then \?c went ir. t'other h< use to git the bea?]-, and I thought ''i! would choke on Uer ?ringer cake a laughin', Cousin I'ink abe on tied the eornder cd her hank? relier an.' tuck out her money, and her mouth wat chock tull of snuff, and she lowed, "Uncle Nelson's wife, that's Aunt Chari ty Clemintine, she axed mc to 'then she walloped her tooth brush in her mouth and spit on the floor) axed me to fetch her a good strong piece of check cloth, four and four in the warp and the ?attie in the iillin'.

In an editorial in the A [?ri I Century, entitled "Mob or M agi-trate," the follow ing comparison i? matin between murder ami tho application id'justice : "Over against llie fifteen hundred murders of the hist year, we have the report of bare ly ninety-three legal executions. .Many of these must have been cases in winch the crime must have been committed during I SW, while many of the criminals of !*>:; had not yet been brought lo trial. It H not, however, far from the truth io say that, while thirteen or fourteen hun dred murders ure committed in this coun try every year, fe wei than a hundred ??f the murderers sui!'- r the extrem? penalty ? ol the law.

The only cla-ses of persons interested in maintaining the present state are the criminals am] the criminal lawyers; and it is not for their exclusive bent lit that society is organized. The contrast be tween the .?wift, linn, and sure methods of Mug)ish ami Continental courts deal ing willi great criminals, and the tardy, feeble, and abortive methods of our own, should sling our national pride to some energetic measures of rc form.

The searcher after information looked at tho tnuuttcr with a hard stare, but tho squnlter, undaunted, leaned on the fence, while tobacco juico showell a disposition to trickle from tho corners of his mouth. . "I thought that I had seen the biggest fool in the wholo country, but you take the lead," said tho inquirer with u delib eration that left no room for mistake.

Jan 17, 1884 27 POISON In the blood is apt to show itself in tba Spring, and nature should by all means be a.s?'iste<l in throwing it off. Swift's Specific does tins effectively. It is a purely vegeta ble, non-poisonous remedy, which helps nature to force all thc poison or taint ont through the pores of the skin. Mr. Robert A. Bosley, of Dickson, Tenn., writes, nuder ?late. March 10, ?S.S4: "1 had chills and fever, followed by rhoururtism, for three years, so that I was not able to at tend to my business ; had tried almost every kind of medicine, ami found no relief. A friend recommended Swift's Specific. I tried ono bottle and my health began to improve. I continued until I had taken six bottles, nod it has set me on my feet, ai sound and well as ever. I recommend it to all similarly alllieted." Detters from twenty-three of the leading retail druggists of Atlanta suv, under dat? ol' March 24, 1KS4 : " Wesell more of Swift'? Specific than any other one remedy, and three to ten times as much as any other blood medicine. We sell it to uti classes, and many of the best families use it ail general health tonic." I nm sure that Swift's Specific saved raj life. 1 was terribly poisoned with malaria, and was given up to die. Swift's Specific relieved me promptly und entirely. I think it is tho greatest remedy of the age. C. G. SPENCES, Sup'r Gas Works, Rome. Qa. I have known and used Swift's Specific for more than twenty years, and have seen more wonderful resal?s from its use than trom any remedy in or out of tho Pharma copient. * lt is a certain and safe antid?telo ali sorts of Dlood Poison.
