Shall X toll you a bit uf a story, liav- i ing no connexion with politics, this' hot, <lry weather? By permission : Old Col.?, of the Mobile district, was ono of the most singular characters ever known in Alabama. I to was' testy and eccentric, hut possessed many! lino qualities, which were fully appro-1 ciatcd by the people of tlio district.? \ Many of his troaks are afresh in the i memory ot the "old una" ot Mobile?| and all of them will tell you that Colo-| ncl, though hard to beat, was once tor-i ribly taken in by a couple ot logal tyros. It is George Woodward, I believe, tells the storv; but however that may bo, it is in kcoping with others relatod of the old gentleman. ? 4'It seems that CoK I>. had a misunderstanding with the two gentlemen alluded to and was not on speaking terms with them, although all of the throo \vor6 professionally riding the circuit pretty much together. The young ones, being well a\raro of the colonel's Irascible nature, determined, ' as they lett one of the courts tor another, to have some sport at his expense by the way. Thfev accordingly got a-1 bout half an hour a start in liming, and presently they arrived at a l>*oad, dark stream, that looked as if it might be a dozen feet deep, but which, in reality, was hardly more than as raoiv I inches. Crossing it they alighted. pufing oft' their coals and boots, and sit down quietly to watch tor the old "Tat tar." Jogging along, at length came up the old tellow. lie looked at first at kho yonngsters, who were gravely drawing on their boots and coats, as it* ticy Ittul just hod ft swim, tuid then ho !hxke<l at the broad cruek that rollod :beftrc him like a flount translucent star. The .colowol was awfully pnz,zled. ' is this creek swimming V' he growled, after a pau.io of some moments. No reply was made? the young wioii simply mounted their liorscs anu r<xhM)ft'soino little distance, and stopThe colOiii l slowly divested himself of coat, boots, pantaloons, and drawers. ThesPmrTieatly tle<l np in his handkerchief, and hung them on the horn of the sa*Mte, then he remounted, and as lie was a fat, short man, with a jtuunch of inordinate legs, a face like a withered apple, and a brown wig, iherujp ilu doubt ho iiiadu ?n iniereal'nP picture as be bestrode bid stood with tho "breeze holding gcntlo dallianco \rftb tho extremities of his only garment. ?Slovvly ami cautiously did tbo^old gentleman and his horse take the crook.
