Indianapolis to welcome Col. johnson o!
Kentucky, when he made his election tour
through the Western States in 1s4O, was
cold Charlie" negro who was once ser.
want of the Col, but was now free and
settled in Indiana. Charlie was now in full
feather. He took the old soldier under his
protection, installed himself as door keeper
and no one was permitted to shake hands
with his former master, unless by Charlie's
introduction. While the crowd was at the
door, portly, pompous man came up, and
taking the negro by the hand, said:
slow DIDO, Charlie? glad to see you.'
Charlie's dignity was touched by this fa-
milarity and he refused to recognize the
gentleman.
'Why, used to know you,' said the gen.
tleman, 'when you belonged to Col. John
son.

Charlie, 'there was great many people
that knew US Johnsons that we didn't know.
The Johnsons didn't associate with every
body."-Harper.

has been the sdust and ashes man in Will
liams College, adding to his duties of sweep

fessor is wise in his generation, and very
much SO in his own concet, and is always
ready with reason ana an opinion where
ever a chance occurs for him to put in his
word. The beds were at the time terribly
infested with bugs, and one of the students
said to him as he was pursuing bis work:

A HAUNTED HOUSE.

There was a lone house standing by itself,
near plantation, not far from Guilford.-
This house nobody would take. because it
was haunted, and strange noises hoard in it
every night after dark. Several tenants
tried it, but were frightened away by the
noises. At last, one individual, more cour-
agous than the rest, resolved to unravel the
mystery. He accordingly armed himself,
capt pie, having put out the light, remained
sentry in one Of the rooms.
Shortly, he heard on the stairs, pi. pat,
then full stop, then pit pat put; full stop
again. He flung open the door--hurry,
skurty, bang; something went down stairs
with a tremendous jump and all over the
bottom of the house the greatest conf usion,
as OF thousand demons rushing in all d.
rectons, was heard. This was enough for
one night. The very next night our crafty
sentry established himself on the first land
ing with heap Of straw and a box Of luci.
fer matches; soon all was quiet. Up stairs
again came the pit, pat, pit pat. When the
noise was close to his ambush, lie scraped
his match and set fire to the straw, which
blazed up like bonfire in an Instant: and
what did he see? only rabbit, who stood
on his hind legs, as much ustonishedi as was
the sentry.
The noise was only the rabbits fore and
hind legs hitting the boards, as he hoped
from one step to another. The rabbits had
got into the house from the neighboring
plantation, and had fairly frightened away
by their nocturnal wandering, the rightful
owners thereof. The Courageous sentry held
bis tongue as to the cause Of he ghost, 60
the house Mt a reduced rent, and several
capital rabbit pies, made of tho ghost bodies,
into the bargain. curios5sies Of Natural

To wheel and commence firing unon the

,cT A remarkable case has Just been
decided in the Brooklyn City Court, to the
effect that single woman can recover dam
ages from married man for breach Of
marriage promise. In the case alluded to,
the defendant, like many other scoundrels
who fail to get their deserts, has desertedhis
wife and played bachelor lover to German
girl. Failing to marry accordingto promise,
she sued him, and he had the cowardly mean
ness to crawl offby SAYING that he had q wife
already his promise was an empty lie. The
jury thought otherwise and gave 5000
damages. An appeal was takon, but the
General Term affirmed the judgement.--
Married men who desert their wivos for more
attractive faces will do well to remember
this case.-E Y Trio.

WHEN SHALL WE THREE MEET AGAIN.

he y STiALL W T. lhhEE L MEE AUAlN'
The ecstatic pleasure of meeting again,
after long absence, friends we dearly
esteem, obliterates in n moment, the pain of
operation. After an absence of twenty
seven years (from one) we accidentlv met
in Nashville the other day, both of our early
instructors in ''the art preservative of all
arts"-tion. Amos r. johnson, of Miss,
and Hon. T. X. Zollicoffer, of this State
Twenty nine years ago, we entered little
printing Office at Paris, in this State, in the
capacity of Printers devil, with the above
gentlemen as editors and proprietors. That
Office was model Of primitive times; we
had all in common, and the Printers devil
was about as important a parsonage in the
eyes Of the people then as editors are now.
The fact is that printing office twenty
nine years ago dazzled the eyes and attracted
the admiration Of all who came near it,
we hailed the advent of every Saturday,
Then it was that we emerged from the Office
with ali the pride and pomp of militia
captain of olden times on parade day.
Early in the morning on that day, (when the
editor had ten quires of paper to print on,
we went forth with the 'sHerald Of noisy
world. with boys from all parts of town
numbering at our back" Only those of our
favorites (who had cakes and apples) were
permitted to approach and touch the
s'Herald," others were kept Mt n respectful
distance. but who even felt honored if we
would permit them to go along with US
Thus we paraded the principal streets and
alleys for an hour, and then would return
to the Office, covered with glory enough to
last until the next Saturday. All! these
were happy days for n printers devil who
carried the 'sHerald" from the Ramsge press
and kept time to the music of the balls

ENTREATIES.

A writer to one of the eastern papers tells
the following funny story, which speaks for
ITSELF
& was stopping last summer Mt Cape May.
As usual, / was at Harwood's, and, of
course, my wife was with me. About
O'Clock one morning, was awakened by a
reveille tap from my better half.
'For gracious sake!' she whispered. If
you want to laugh, just listen to that gen.
teman and his wife hunting mouse, in the
next room.'
.Ee-ee- e-aw!' murmured, half awake.
sNow, do just wake up. Tomorrow,
when tell you the story, you'll be sorry
you werenot awake to the reality
Thus abiured, woke in right earnest, too
late to hear any of the mouse hunt, but
Just in time to hear the next room door
open, and little quiverins dandy voice,
which at once recognized as that of
Prinkey, called out to some distant night
walker:
'Waituw! waitaw! waitaw!'
No answer.
'Potaw! potaw! potaw!'
'Watchman! Watchman! Watchman
sThat's me, SIR growled deep bass
voice.
'Watchman, come here diwectly! We are
in gwate twoble! There's mouse in
this apartment, and it nibbles around in
the most distwacted manner. spoke to
Mr.. HAYWOOD about it, and he promised to
have the mouse wemoved, but he hasn't done
it. Aw think it vewy unhandsome conduct
of Mr.. HAYWOOD to allow the mouse to
wemain after pwomising that it should be
wemoved. Watchman, Mrs. Prinkey is vewy
appwehensive of mice. Can't you come in
and catch the cweature?'
"Fraid not, sir. It's too late, and l
should be sure to wake up some boarders as
mightn't like it, .... 1885,.
sHow widiculous! Well! "a long pause
couldn't you just step down to the baw-
woom, and get some cwackers and cheese,
and entice the animal out into the entwy?
/ A brief remark from the watchman that
the bar was closed sent MI. Prinkey back
into his mouse haunted dormitory.
