At any rates, somethin come to pass to bring a tremendins big streak of bad luck in the settlement. And blamed if it don’t loidt tome like every body and everything would turn loose and fall into a well, and in some cases kick the bucket. “A Scandlous Lit tin Nothin." In the first outstart I mol Jtile Nabors at the big ford down on Turkey Creek. I was beaded for the hill country on a visit, you understand, whilst Julohe was cotnin in home from hunt n. I could see at oncst that Jttle was foamin mad about somethin or other, so 1 pull* d up in the shade and asked him what terrible thing had come to pass. I soon found out that he didn't want to give out the facts in the case, but I poppi d the questions to him so f.i't and furious till finally at last h - hid to unbutton his lips and open up and come forth with the truth. “It was the dndblamdest and most gon byest fool scrape that a white tn m ever backed himself into. R ife,'’ says Jule, “and to be plum honest with you. I do bate like all fury to tell it and let it leak out on me. And I would ruther tell it to any livin man than to you, cause I know I mought as well to tell the women folks or go put it in the pa pers at oncst and let it spread to the four corners of the earth. Rut John Andrew Milligan come along about the time I was pullin myself out of the con fusion men t, and whilst he give me his word ho wouldn't tell it on me, I reckon it is most loo good for him to keep. John Andrew is a reglar goidbug Democrat, you understand, and 1 am for free silver or bust, and you know he is monstrous handy with his mouth. So I reckon I (nought as well to cut the string's right here and let it go. “Well—I do mortally hate to tell it, Rufe—but I was over there in the old fields turkey hunlin this mornin, and I found the hull lest sort of a muscadine vine growin down Kw on some piutn bushes. Whilst wadin around eatin a big bait by hokeys I fell feet-foremost into an old well, which I hadn’t saw and didn’t know it was there. I had my gun in one hand, but as l went down I grabbed the vines and briers as best I could, and right there 1 hung up and belt on like a seed tick to a nigger shin for three long and terrible hours it seems to me. I had a monstrous short holt on the vines and grass and briers, and only one hand to bold with, i belt my gun in the other iianl and was skeered to let it diop for fear wnen it hit the bottom it (nought go off and shoot me from the rear flanks, you un derstand. So there I was, hop n and hollerin and swealin an t prayin at the top of my voice. I couldn’t look and see back down below, and consequent ially I didn't know for certain how deep the o!d well was. I ralev don't reckon I knowed anything for certain about that time, Rufe. Rut I had took up a notion that the old thing was about a bundrel feet deep, with frogs and snakes and the like of iliat piled up three feet thick at the bottom. “Now you know me, Ruf -, anl you know I don’t put in no big claims to re ligion, but. if a poor devil ever prayed in this world — prayed loud and long and dead in earnest- it was me right then and there. Lit tie by 1 ttle my holt was slippin and I thought every minnit would be the last with me. 1 thought of all the pust meanness and devilment that 1 had ever done in the flesh, and prayed to g t forgiV'-ness before it was everlast nly too late. 1 h It on as -o-n-g as 1 could, and when 1 saw the time had cone for the terrihl • dr ip I ask the good Lord to have mercy on my lost and ruinl soul, and turned loose and down I went. Rut the b'urn'-d old well want hut s v n foot deep, R.ife, and I had jest exactly ihr< o inches to drap. If I had but only alreiched out a little, you understand, iiihI ad of dr win up there an 1 hollering and prayin like u dadburn fool I co ihl of ioiicli*-d the bot tom with my feet. Them are the gen eral facts in the case, Ruf ■, and that’s what makes me mad—to tli nk of the terrible fears and torments and tears, and moans atnl groans and prayer* I went through with, and all for nolhiu — m measly, scaudloiis little nothin." one long leg sidew ays over the born of his ssddb-. “You have took notice that 1 have la en tryin my level durndest here lately to fill out and round up ihiti old plug with plenty of green stuff. Well, nigiit before last I turned him out to graz<-, and sometime indurin of the night no back his fool self into that obi well down there in the paster. The onlyest thing that saved him from breakin b is neck w is owin to tbe fact that lie went in tail foremost. “So naiurallv of course I had to go into the m nin business, as it were, and dig a slopin tunnel into the well in or- derment to git him out. It wouldn’t of been so infernal bad on me, Rufe, only from the fact that the well was s > dost to tbe big road. I know as well as any body—and a whole lot better than some people I could name—that the horse can’t see any to speak of under his feet, but I bad been blowin calomel and spit- tin tobacco juice into his eyes in order- ment to clear ’em up a little in the maintirne. And by gatlins, Rufe, blaimd if it didn’t look to rao like everybody in all these regions—par- ticlar them that has swapped stock— would piss along the big road yester day mornin and see me minin for my horse and diggin him outen the well. Finally at last I got some of the neigh bors to com<i over and help me, and when we did git him out he was all scarred and skint up like you see him now-. “The news has been a spreadin like a prairie fire with a high wind, you un derstand, and if somethin don’t come to pass now pre e itly I will have to feed old Rltie Eyes henseforwards forever, or turn him out f irerow bait. So when I come homo tonight I will leave tbe horse behind mo if I have to tote my saddle. Naturally of course somebody is more than probable to suff r in the trade, but I can’t help that. Thu deed j 'St simply must be did, Rufe.” Late along in tho shank of thoovenin Andy rid by on hi return back homo from town mounted on a rigbtgood plug of a mule. “1 feel like I mought bo dost kin to a man tc at had stol<* a mule, you under stand. Rufe,” says Andy in talkin over tlie trad -, “but it was like I told you th's mornin. Old Rlue Eyes hut et up ms w leomn at my house, and the deed hud to be did.” Well,* Nell, Well! The very next day after Andy Lucas r turned back fr tn (own, Tuvin old “Rlue Eyes” behind him, Rlev Scrog gins come in from down in the Flat Woods and brought some terrible start- lin n ws eoneernin old Parson Ransom. The p .r-on he had an old blind mule named Mandy, which lie said she was mighty icind and gentle—th'-j most in generally always are kind and gentle, you understand, when they get old and go blind—and bless gracious old Mandy she went out foratdn and perusin around one night last week and stumbled heels over appetite into a well. Then tho next mornin, when the parson found out what had come to pass in regards to his kind and gentle mule—he went out fumldin and foolin around the old well, and prese t v be took and fell in right slap kei'l :• I) astraddle of old Mandy. “1 c a In’t tell for certain as to wheth' r .dandy was dead or only crip- pled,” says the old parson to the neigh bors wle n they come over to hear the news, “and in fnolin around trvin to find out I lost my balance and went in with her.” And from the way Blev gives the news, I reckon it turned out that old Mandy was only crippled. She put in to ku-kin the parson, and before tho neighbors could pull him out sho had skint and bruised him up considerable. But old Mandy also kicked the bucket before liiiman help could save her, and so they had to fill up one old well and turn it into a graveyard.

We like this—we all like frater nal relations. Our hospitality is un bounded to our friends and the remotest sign of reconciliation is given a wel come. There are no people as emotional nul as friendly by nature as ours. South ern hospitality is proverbial. But it must not be abused. We demand a return of what we give. We are the same people we were before the war. There is no change in our politics or our religion, but we are tolerant and forgiving and will always meet our foes on half way ground and -shake bands and mak*> friend <. We welcome this visitation of our Northern brethren and hope it may result in more harmony between the sec tions. If it induces a few thousands to domicile among us it will do good. Noth ing else will ever convince and convert a Northern man hut a few years spent among us in social and business life. They must get away from their preachers and editors and their school books. Most of those teach bate instead of love. The North docs not understand us yet and there w< re two orators at Chiekamauga who were sincere enough to tell the truth without disguise. Gov. Woodbury, of Vermont, spoke the New England senti ment when he said they would still teach their children that we were wrong in the fight. And Gov. Turney, of Tennessee, replied, “that we would teach our child ren that we were right in the ti/bt "t'd will go to our graves in that faith.” Both were honest in their uiuimuos. iur last was provoked to reply and did it manfully. Sometimes I have doubted whether there was any good to come of these I gushing gatherings, for however-s >mueli the speakers may talk of love and recon ciliation, the old bitterness that culmi nated in the late war still maintains among the masses of the people, both North and South. The braggadocio of the North does not set will <>u the Suith. considering that it took .“.tkXt.OOO of men four years to conquer om-fourth that number. If they wire truly friendly and considerate they would stop pensioning their soldiers or else would propose to pension ours. We are not only willing but anxious to make friends, but there never will be any real good feeling as long as we have to pension our own sol diers and help to pension theirs. Imve is a good thing hut it takes two to m ike it. Christianity has never yet gotten its con certs to that heavenly frame of mind and heart that will make tin m love their enemies. The best we can do is to say, Lord, have mercy on them and forgiv< them for we can’t. The truth »s, I bare quit trying to forgive some of our enemies, fur they won’t help me a bit. Even the Lord does not forgive a man who does not repent and these pension howlers and Union savers don't repent a bit. What I want them ta do is to ac knowledge that we outfit ’em at Chicku mnngu and everywhere else. Then I want them to say. you rebs had just a-- good excuse for lighting us we did. Then I want them to begin to pension our sol diers. They ought to give us hack ra tions, but that would break the govern ment, and so we will forgive them that much. We have gotten along without it and I reckon can do so again. But most of their speakers were kind enough to sat that both sides fought on principle for what they believed to be right, and if tha; is so both sides are entitled to tin* sam reward. The truth is, that neither sidi is entitled to any. I’ensions are n di count upon patriotism. I don’t meat pensions to those who were utterly dis abh il by the war and arc on the charitj of the public. They tire not one in tei of the pensioners, either S'ato or nn tional. Thomas Hart Benton called th. whole system a new departure when ii IMI lie opposed tlie grant of tf'J'i.OOO t President Ilarri-on’s widow. Slid he "This is a te w page opened in the bool of our public expenditures, and this tie departure will lead us into the buttomles gulf of ill usions and gtatuitb s,” Well, it is a gulf, nn awful gulf. Th government has to f sier and protect ai the whisky business to get revenu enough to pay the pensions. I saw tw if the pensioners yester lay.

WAR BETWEEN MOTIVE POWERS. Connecticut to W.tncs* a Contest Between Llcctrlc'ty anil Steam. Connecticut is destined to be the first state in which the battle between steam and electricity will be thorough ly tested, says the Utica Observer. For many years the railroad business of that state has been controlled by what is known as the Consolidated road. Legislation in the past has been very favorable to this corporation, and it has been impossible to build rival lines of steam railroad without the consent of the Consolidated—and of course this consent was not to be secured. When trolley cars came into existence shrewd observers saw in them a possible means of finally accomplishing the downfall of the Consolidated, and as the improve ments in the means of using and apply ing electricity as a motive power were rapidly perfected the hopes of trolley line projectors grew. The result has been the securing of a large number of franchises for trolley lines, and already the most important towns along seventy-live miles of the Consolidated tire united by lines of double track electric railways that permit of eontin- pauous ssage. Many other franchises have been granted and appearances in dicate that through service may soon be secured between New York city and Hartford. It is an interesting battle, because it brings into competition two great forces, steam and electricity, which are doubtless destined to compete against each other in the future. It is also in teresting to note that in all cases where the steam and trolley roads parallel each other in the Connecticut example, the trolley roads have proved to be the most popular. This is doubtless in a measure due to the fact that considera ble local prejudice has existed against the monopoly controlling the steam roads, and wherever an opportunity presented itself to turn business over to the trolleys it was done.
