WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6.
Higgins arid the Widow.
One Sunda; Higgins came into my
office and sat down without tv word, j
For some minutes he sat siUfv watch- !
lag me inteutiy as if he was trying tc j
mak^fjertrby the-souw? of my pen what !
I ?wa^writing.
.SaMtre,' said ne si leDgth, 'did ? j
ever tell you about my serape with thc ;
widow H-orry, up here on the river:' j
*Never did/ said I; laying down my j
pen, 'lee's- hear it.'
'They're curious creatures, widow? i
. IB,' said he in a meditative tone, 'and j
tile more you study about 'em the more :
you don't know about*'em. What was j
this thing I've read about in Egypt, ;
or some other country that nobody could
unriddle T
.The sphinx, probably,' I replied.
'YveH,' he continued that was a j
widow as sure as you ever had a granny, j
Everything else ia the earth has been j
found out but them, and they're as much ;
A'mystery to-day as the length of the !
Sorta Pole. You may road the his?o- i
ry of the world from Genesis io Reve- j
latious, and you'll ?ad that widows has :
been at the bottom or top of ?ve-cpiar- j
tere of- the devilment that's been cut j
ap. Was you ever in love with one???
'Lots of them/ said I.
'You're a great gander-that's what ?
yoa are,' said he. *A man that loves !
one- aod gets over it won't never get hit :
by another, if he's got ss mach sense as
a-ground hog. I*don't consider I've got ?
any sense at ali, but- I'm a little grain
too smart to let another of them fret all ;
the-tramps on me. Tho widow Horry, j
i that I was speaking cf, is a little the ;
handsomest woman, I reckon, that ever
looked a man into fks, and I ought to j
bea jadge.. for I've seen lois of pretty
women in my day. She was about
tweDty-?ve years Cpl when I went up I
there to work, just in the bloom of her
beauty, and as fuH of deviltry asa three
year old muie colt. There was a bail ;
over at Jenkins's, and, of course, ? j
went, for I always go where there's '.
any fun going on, and generally act the
tobi'before i~ ge: away, of"course.
'The widow wa? there, dressed as :
fine- as 8demon's IHies, and Syiog ;
around as frisky as a young "iamb in a I
aye-patch. I got introduced to her i
and asked ber to dance with me, and
when she flashed her eyes A: me and ;
said 'yes.' I jumped up like I had sot j
d?wu on a hot griddle. You may talk ;
about sensatiun, but when she took hold
ofcioy hand and I sorter squeezed it, I j
Seit a sensation as big as a load of wood, i
and it kept running up and down my j
back like a squirrel wi:h a hawk after j
him. I'm very fond of dancing ; but ;
PU be banged if I know whether I ea- j
. joy?? it that night ur net-, for every ?
time she took held of my hand I'd
commence feeling curious behind my
ears and up and down my back again, !
and then I wouldn't know whether I j
was on earth or in a balloon, cr on a !
comedor anything about it. It was j
undoubtedly a case "cf love at first
sight, and a powerful bad csse at thar. !
For a wonder I got through the frolic ;
without making myself conspicuous or j
cutting up any extras, as I'm io the
habit of doing when I go into publie i
Fu set my pegs to go home, with the j
wilow after the ball, but iust a::- I was !
fixing my mouth to ask her, up steps a '.
big, long, Ieafhcr-f::ced doctor. Damed
Mabrey, and walked her < ?f hefore my i
eyjesv That riled me a little, hut I kept
roy tongue still, inwardly swearing to :
break his bec o s the very first epportu-.
nity thai presented i*scif. I saw there !
was no u:-e in saying anything, so i ;
went ho&e oa&went to led, at:d all the ]
pes* Qr? the aight I was dreaming about j
rainbows, angels, butterflies, ?id?es, !
widows and doctors, mized up worse ?
?-'iaa a Dutchman's dinner. WA], \
Squire, to make a short .-tory of it. I
m "de up my mind to have thc widew cr
kill myself or somebody che. So I j
made it convenient to be on hand where
she was ope:< ail occasion?. L couldn't j
cat; nor sleep, nor work, and if the
ibing had held on, I wouldn't have had
sense enough left to a skin a r:;l>bi:
Bat I was determined it shouldn't las;
Jong, for Fd been fooled so orien by
women that I thought 1 wouldn't giv<
her time to think or anvthing but me.
She appeared to talie to um rieht sharp?
ly, and the doctor seemed inclined to
aix in with me, but I didn't consider
him no more than a brush fence, for 1
. was so far gone I thought she could s-ee
nobody on earth but me. Well, S<ju?re,
things went on so for 'bout a month,
sod one Sunday I screwed up my spunk
and put the cuesti?n to her. ?r'he sor?
ter laughed and sorter looked one-sided,
.and fiualiy told me she couldn't gi\
ao-an answer just then, but if I'd cal?
?t her boase next Thursday evening,
she'd give me a Snai answer. Thinks
I yoa uro miue just as sase as ti.- re's a
fiddler belo-. Whenever a woman
takes time t-> study she'll say 'yes.'
Squire, don't thc potts say something
about tnc calculation of men and goin
wrong V
'Mice and men, Barns : ?vs,* i an

'Well, mies ?nd rahs is all one. and
so is men and fools : : :?.'--. a? 1 Lav<

long time about it. ano v. : ! ar,
dressed into 5;..., and feeling .:- b:g as
Josh Raynor did wheo he wa: i
coroner I got ihrro abeu* ?ark, and
found a right smart crowd ' ..!:. :; ;.
which was not cn th?? bills i I ?; lt ?>
big and good as the ret of *< m. So
I marched in like a blind ir.1'? :;
potato patch, and took :; s vat i -, "!.

had Folly and the Doctor married faster
than a Mexican greaser con.id tis a
bull's horns I was go completely
fiunni.ust 1 thal I set therewith my
month open like ? Wrfs going to swallow
the whole crowd, and tny eyes looking
like- billiard balls till thc ceremony
Tra*? over, when I jumped u:? and bel?
lowed :
'I forbid the concern from- being con?
stituted V
'You are a little-too lat?, my friend,'
said the preacher, and they all com?
menced laughing like they bad seen
something fus ny.
Til be s fuizzled if ? don't be soon
enough fer somebody yet,' says I,
'for 1 wac mad, Squire, and no mistake
in tho ticket. I do believe that I could
have eat that Doctor Quicker than a
hungry dog: could swallow a squirrel
skin; if ? could have bad a fair chance
at him. It was too bud after ? had
?xed up to marry her myself, for ber to
walk right oat before my eyes and
marry that great babboon.'
'It was bad, that is a fact,' said ?.
'Dad!'" cried he, 'i: was meaner than
eating Tried coen. ? Erst thought I'd
go straight home, but thea concluded
that wouldn't .-pite nobody, so 1 deter?
mined tcstay and seoifI coulda'tget sat?
isfaction cur of somebody. You know
I'm the dence to get . ;elf or some?
body else ioio a scrape when I take a
notion and I'd taken one that night
that went ail over me like a third day
chill, so I commenced a stuoy'n out
some plan. I recollected hearing the
doctor say that where he come from (hut
the Lord only knows where th?.t was)
the bride and groom always- washed
their faces together as a charm against
infidel:*? or imbecility, or some other
long word. While I was study'n about
that, I spied the doctors saddle bags
sitting up in the corner, so I waited
till they went in to supper, and then
? get tho bags and looked to see what
I could discover. Nearly the ?r-t thing
I saw was a piece of lunar caustic. I
slipped lt into my pocket, for I hud my
plan as soon as . tw it. Well, I watch?
ed around tiil I saw one cf thc girls go
to the pail with a pitcher so I went out
and askod her what she was geing to
do with it. She said she was going to
c-:rrv it into the room for tho occior
and Folly to wash their faces in. I
kent talking to her while she ?.*as [lil?
ies the pitcher and when she turnet
her head ? dropped the caustic ID to it. j
it was then about bod time, and ? got ;
my hat and put cut, hut I couldn't help j
laughing all the way home whenever j
Td think about ii nert morning..
'Weil. 'Squire, they do suv that j
when that couple waked up next morn- j
ing they both had the hardest kind of j
S's. each one thinking they had leon ;
sleeping with a nigger. Oh, it was j
rich I Fie a cuss:!!' and tearing np things j
and she a falutin' and com?a' to and j
going on again, and nie not there to
see it. They made such an unearthly
racket that the folks broke into th;*
room to see what was the matter, and
there they was with their faces and
hands ail as black as the inside of au
old stove pipe- Td give half my inter?
est in the tether world just to have been
at some safe piuee where I could have I
setn the whole row. As soon f<s they !
found cut that they was really thej
same folks that married the night be- ;
fore, they called for warm water and j
soap, but just here the doctor happeued
to think about the pilcher and took it to ?
tho doer to see what was the matter ?
There was a little piece cf caustic that i
had not dissolved, and as soon as he
saw it, he says :
'It's co use washing:, Polly. Ali the
so3D in New York city wouldn't wash
that black o?r.'
.That was the truth, 'Squire, soap j
and water had no more effect than it ?
would on a native born African, and ali ?
the chance was to wait and let it wear
o??. How long ir. took them to get ;
white again. I never found out bar. one i
thing \ do know,'he conclude], getting j
up to f-o ont, 'the next lime I saw the ',
doctor I bad the hardest Sunt, and con e !

Don't Want to be Hun.
At a church in un adjoining County
just before preaching, a crowd of farm?
ers were seated in the shade of a large
ca!: discussing matters relative to their
noble avocation. ]>y hook or crook the
credit system was introduced and fully
discussed by ali save ono old gentle?
man who 'rcpt 'mum.' Ile was noted
far and wide as being one of the mort
eccentric fellows in ai' the h?.jd, and his
comrades prevailed upon him for his j
views. 'Weil mr::/ said ho, 'I'll tell
yon what I think ?bout it in a mighty ;
short time. I ii ?rive yon my personal j
experience. Last year I was 'living j
wish you as you remember. Well, ? j
went up to W- arid found a man will- j
ing to run me. ? tell you I lived high, j

clothes, fed my stock-.supplied mo with
tobacco-ar:d wo::d you believe it,
really let me have sugar arid coffee and
shoos-everything, an nary a time did
ho cheep ?money' to mo. Thus it went
on during tho Spring, Summer and
early fail. Oh, I rolled in clover.
]*a: when the leaves begun to turn and
about the time for tho autumnal equi?
nox to come on, a genuine commercial
cyclone struck me and scattered corn,
cotton, potatoes, wheat, oats, mules,
horses, cows, calves, pigs-lock, stock
and barrel-and bore it away. It went
array in wagons. Yes, sir, he run me
in tho Spring and Summer and ever?
lastingly galloped me in the fall. Run
me ont of the country. From* now
henceforth and forever I don't want no
more running in mine-a fox trot will
do me. If the merchant is satisaed ?

The Butler Mad Stone.
This mad stone of Butler's is un?
questionably a genuine on. It was
found in thc "''light" of a deer that was
killed in the mountains, and is of a
very peculiar formr4rion, being egg j
shaped-. It is comp.,.-', i of porous
layers. Soma time ago the outside
laver was broken, and it fell erl like
the shel! of a buckeye. The stone has ?
bern applied io hundreds of bites, and
good results hare always followed:
After it drops frc::i a wound, it is boiled
in milk, and the mill: loc?me? green.
Sutler has refused an offer of ?500 for
it. This st orre U beginning to attract
tho attention of scientists and medical
men. It is'elaimed that it wi;! euro a
suj?kc bite without tito cid cf whiskey.
