All thia happened the year before we
went to the Planters’ House, on the
Horseshoe mountain, where we had
made up a party for the season; and we

made a fool of herself, and he had

he was, and declared laughingly they
would not hare come if they had not ex
pected to 'see him. Col. Dysart was
late, and the picnickors had their
feAst spread under the mountain pines
and Kitty made a charming hostess, but
she was anxious, and seemed watching
and listening. At last Ool. Dysait
came ridiAsr slowly, and with his
bridle-arm hanging by his side, broken
by a rifle-ball! The girls sotvbed and
clang to him, and asked a thousand
questions, bat Kitty helped him off his
horse, got him in the honse, and, with

FACKAOF AMB CALM OUT.
At the olooeof the session of Ooagrws,
March 4, 1881, a stiff quarrel broke out
between Gen. Jackson and John 0. Cal
houn. It originated in this wise: II
will be recollected by those who havi
read an account of Gen. Jackson's cam
paign against the Heminoles in 1818 that
they war* Indians who earns out of Flor
ida, then belonging to Spain, mordered
citizens on oar frontiers and committed
depredations oa their property. The
Spanish officers, instead of restraining
these Indiana, furnished them with sup
plies, thus making themselves partiea
to the outrages perpetrated. Geo.
Jackson, believing that he was anther,
toed by the law at nations, a secret
of Congress, and an order from the Gov
ernment at Washington to conduct the
oempe gn wi be thought best, marched
into Florida, took pommrion of Si
Marks, Peneaeola aad Ban ingustine,
and soon put an end to the war. Im

be hated to give up Kitty. She was al
most like his own, though he had picked
her up in the highway a equalling 8-
y ear-old, and ridden into the door-yard
with the birthing child under hie arm.
He transferred her to the cook, thence
the went to the housekeeper, by degrees
she reached Mrs. Dysart, who made her
an eepecial pet, ee long ssthe lived, and,
dying, bequeathed her to Fanny, her
eldest daughter.
The Dysart girls were good to her, but
indifferent; Kitty missed some one to
love very much, ss she did good Mrs.
Dysart, and her heart went out to the
handsome fellow who smiled at her at
barbecues, and met her at preacher’s
meeting, and tried to entice her off to
clandestine trysts.

which flushed his cheek found its mate

talking with her young ladies—his fam

had crossed the color line somewhere,
while she was a waif—a nobody. How
good it was of him to love her I — •
Bat, all the same, Kitty was wide

Dysart's family that she did the fine

“George is proud,” she said, “and

Her voice was soft and flutelike; we
promised what aha asked, as her hus
band called petulantly u-
“ Kit I doan’t stand gabblin thar I the

Our next venture was of another sort:
There waa a quarrel between some dis
tillers and the exciseman, and OoL. Dy-
mrt went as peacemaker between them
and collected a moiety of the tax money.
He called at Kitty’s on thevfay up the
mountain, and left word'that he would
be book the next day at noon and would
eat cbnner with her. Her husband was
well now, and that morning he took his
rifle and went out “after game,” he

A BAUM ISSVLT.
It doesn’t always do to credit people
with over-sensitiveness. The other day
one of our “ rising young pianists ” was
giving his opinion of the vulgarity ami
meanness displayed by our goldfish aris
tocracy. “ Why,” said he, “for instance,
not long ago I was invited to attend a
musical© at the house of old Full bags,
on Nob Hill. Of course I played a good
