An <i|ii friend told tin (hat the
alienation between ihr Ni nh ami the
6outh w.is <>vi itu; murr in dirt ami
eli matu than it was to slavery or lie?
groes. Said he, they '.ive on enid
bread and canned goods and codfish,
and drink iced lea, while we live nu
hain and eggs and rolls and beat bis
cuit and drink entice. Their diet is
as cold and shiveting as their climate,
while ours is rich and warm und stimu
lating like our sunshine. Hence,
they arc inclined to bc cold hearted
and Hel?sh. Wc feasted McKinley
down herc on Southern food, and
warmed him to thc heart and made
him feel generous and kind, and so he
made '.hal Confederate speech ami
wore that veteran's badge because he
felt gund in>ide. If he bad stayed
down here a few weeks longer he
would have -poko? for pensions and
apologized.
Muy he there is something in that,
for I have observed that Northern
people who domicile with un for any
length nf time always take our side
and defend IH. Hut my candid opin
ion is that the l iasses at the North
who arc most in tho way of peace arc
editors and preachers. Thc editors
want some scanda', to feed their read
ers on and the abuse of the South is
like regular stoek in trade and is al
ways in demand. It is a good cement
for the party and keeps it solid, for if
their readers differ on home politics
they can always harmonizo by abus
ing us. Thc leading New York Re
publican paper is just as malignant
since McKinley made his Southern
tour as it was before Mr. McKinley
played on the harmonica!), but the
J're.-s won't lance to t' c music.
Aa for ihr preacher*, my candid
opinion is the majority ?d' them have
Do more real religion than did Henry
Ward Beecher, l^ke the editors they
rely on sens.ainu .?> |',U their pews and
their pockets. With a lew excep
tions, their Thank-giving sermons had
neither love to Hod nor charity to
man, and they went mu nf ito- text tn
give the South a .-lam or a -lah. 1
oscd to have great respect and rever
ence for ministers of the gm-pel. 1
really believed they were all ordained
ot * * nil for the sacred calline, hut in
my later years that reverence ha?
wcaki'ticd and it seem., to me now
that most nf them aro only ordained
ol' ur ,i. The pulpit, both North ami
Smith, luis, been degraded und ha?
lost its high standard. Hardly a week

ami he gave thc lawyer one pension

at Washington is that at least one
half the pensions granted are frauds.
Hut pension money circulates freely,
and that is a good thing, and when it
gets to circulating down herc among
our boys wc won't complain.
Well, we had a good old-fashioned
Christmas at our house, and were
thankful that no a Miction or calamity
had befallen us during the past year.
We had sixteen of the posterity at thc

and et ceteras amazing. Next inarch
conics our golden wedding, and then
all tho distant boys and their wives

A well-known country squire owned
j an equally well-known parrot, which
he christened .Indy, because of his
popularity and reputation for saying
fuuny things. Ou one occasion the
squire was expecting his uncle for a
visit, and thought it would bc great
fun if, on the arrival of the said un
cle, .Judy came out with:
"llulloa, Uncle! How are.you?"
So one morning he tried to teach
the phrase to tue bird. Judy, how
ever, was in a depressed mood, and
she couldn't be persuaded to talk or
do any of her tricks. The squire who
j was an irascrible tuan, shouted vio
lently:
"Say uncle' Say uncle! Say uncle,
you fool!"
Hut -Indy was obstinat?' and ii"
threats could make her say a word.
TIIL; squire thereupon gave way lo his
wrath, and. seizing Judy by thc head,
swung her round and round, then
threw her out of the window.
About half an hour afterward he
heard a great screeching in his fowl
yard. Ile hurried nut and beheld lil
uf his chickens lying ?lead, while .Indy
wa- pursuing thc 20th, at tke same
ii nc shrieking:
"Say uncle, you fool! Say uncle,
I you fool!" '
j dud j had, after all, learned her les
j J son, but too well.

- In Morocco a marriage is preced
ed by seven days' feast accompanied
with almost incessant music. And the
bride certainly cannot lead a happy
life. On one of the nights she may
not go to rest, but must lie on the
floor, wrapped up in a blanket, while
the guests "keep it np," talking, jok
ing and laughing, and do not go home
till morning. But the actual wedding
day is quite as tiresome. She is "on
view" and must sit ou a bcd with her
eyes shut for some hours, while all
her neighbors come to have a good
stare at ber finery, to express their
good wishes, and to make a small
wedding present.
- A poor young white man and his
wife carno from North Carolina to
Spartanburg, S. C., last week seeking

old home. While sleeping by a fire
in tho woods during the first night of
their journey, thc young woman's
clothing caught tire and she was burn
ed to death, and her husband wu*
seriously injured in trying to extin
guish tho flames. In justice to thc
generally kind hearted people in that
section it should be stated that thc
unfort unate couple did not make known
their destitute condition.

I Take it all together, the outfit lind
an air of solidity, t< mbined with r.o
una ll degree of rakishness. It was
an outfit nab as any iran might
reasonably bo proud of.
"I don't rrn.ember \\ bat he was

in boxes. He I rought in a sample
he was a rather tall iran, with a
l ea ul, with a gt od 1 un ort d eye and

lu ui ht M me. 1 ht ii he \\ t nt out to
bis wagon again and I rought in tho
j goods, lind he brought willi bim a
I cardboard placard w hit b evidently
j be intend* d to ] ut up in the store.
I "Rising in the ct nit r of the et oro
I was a huge, eqiiare weeden i iltur
supporting oveihead a big cross

Wlicn he h::d laid the goods down On
the < minti r, he pithed up tho curd
that he hid brought in with then
and turned toward the square pillar
in the center of the stoic. Helled
located it when be came in, or I
guess he knew it. He and the store
keeper didn't talk very much, but I
thought they seemed to know each
other. No doubt he had been there
before.
"The big, square post was covered
with just such cards as he had
brought in, tacked on all over, all
around as high as a man could reach,
and I couldn't see where he was go
ing to get his card in, hut he walked
over to tho post just as though there
were plenty of room there. He took
a paper of tacks out of his pocket
and sifted out four into tho palm of
his left hand and then put them into
his mouth. Then he placed his pla
card against tho side of the post
and pushed it up until the bottom
of it was clear of the top of the high
est card on that side. Ho could do
this bccati.se he was pretty tall, und
he was simply holding on to his card
at tho bottom. Eut. I couldn't see
yet how ho was going to reach up to
tack it at thc top.
"But he trued it up on the face of
the post with both hands calmly,
and then, holding it with one hand,
he reached into his outside coat pock
et for his hammer. It was just a
small tack hammer wi?b rather ft
long handle. He carried the head of
the hammer up to his mouth, and
when he withdrew it there was a
tack sticking to the face of it. The
head of the hammer was magnetiz
ed, and the smooth, flattop of the
head of the tack stuck to its face, the
point projecting in line with the
hammer's head. All he had to do
was to reach up. With a single tap
ho drove the tack through the card
at ono corner away up at the top
easily. Then he drove a tack through
' the other upper corner in the same
manner, and then he drove in a cou
. plo of tacks at tho bottom and drop
ped the hammer in his pocket. Then
lie went out and got on his wagon
and drove off. "-New York Sun
Zanesviile'n Joke.
1 Here is a choice bit of humor
which is believed tb be an original
i product of Zancsvillo: A Terrace car
. was "wending its way" toward tho
I zenith ward late tho other afternoon
through a tremendous downpour of
[ rain. The attention of some passen
gers who were gazing idly through
: tho windows was attracted to a
woman who, out in the midst of the
shower, was struggling to get a tub
i beneath a rainspout. "Well, now,"
i exclaimed one of tho passengers, "dc
look at that fool woman trying to
catch soft water when it's ruining
, hart!." This may not bo new, but
' no person to whom it lins so far beer
related recalls having seen it ir
1 any of the almanacs.-Exchange.
