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.

But to me the most saddest nows that
has took place this year com s from
down in the old Panther Creek S'-ttle-
ment. My Aunt Nancy Newton—God
ble-s h<*r dear, delightful old soul—is
d' ad and gone.
Now, whilst I have said in plain 1} ink

when she started off on b -r return back
home sli'' borrowed a plug of fine store-
bough’ toba co from me, and went on
to sav, says she:
“1 willl return it back to you, Rufus,
by the middle of September, if | live.”
Ami from that good day to this bl'»vd

Nancy or that plug of store-bought
tobacco. Whereas, I reckon she must

Chattanooga and flooded the town, and
then to Chickmuauga and submerged the

ami had enough left to moisten the torrid
soul and cause Clara Meer to rise several
inches. 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

of the public. They tire not one in tei

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.
