FIRST MEETING OF A NEGRO WITH A
BEAR.-Reading an interesting article re-
speeding the habits of the bear, a pretty good
story Aoated up to the surface, related to me
some time since, by my friend the Colonel,
who had spent most of his fortune and life in
the woods of Florida, now years gone by,
which I will attempt to relate-the truth of
which you may depend upon, as l heard it
direct from his own lips.
The Colonel had a black fellow, a good
natured, happy creature, who, one morning
was strolling through the W, DDS, whistling
and roaring as he went, when suddenly he
spied an individual as black as himself, with
much more wool.
Dick looked at his new friend. and the
bear Con his rump) at his. Dicks eyes be-
gan to stick out a feet. .sWho's dat?" cried
Dick. Who's dat?' again cried Dick,
shaking all over. Bruin began to approach.
Dick pulled heels for the first tree and the
bear after him. Dick was upon the cypress
and the bear scratching close after him.
Dick moved ut OH a limb, the bear followed
till the limb began to bend. Snow, see
here, mister, if you come any farder, dislim5
broke Dere! dere l told you SO. As Dick
had said, the limb broke, and down came
bear and bigger! "Dere, you black debil,
l tole you so; dis isalI your fault. Yer broke
YOUR neck, and III just take yerto Massa

THE COUNSELLOR POSED.

At a trial in the Court of Kings Bench.
June, 1888, between certain publishingtwee
dledums, tweedledees, as to an alleged piracy
of an arrangement of the "Old- English
Geptlemen,"-an old English air, blythe
bye,-Tom Cook, the composer, was sub
penaed as a witness by one of the parties.
On his REORGANIZATION by Sir James Scar
let-afterwards Lord Abiuger-for opposite
side, that learned counsel rather fippantly
questioned him thus:
"Now, sir, you say that the two melodies
are the same, bat. different; What do you
mean by that, sir?
To this Tom promptly answered 81 said
that the notes in the two copies were alike
but with a different accent, the one being
common time, the other in six:eight time ;
and consequently the position of the accented
notes was different"
Sir James-"What is a musical acceDt?'
Cook-"My terms area guinea a lesson,
sill. "-CA loud laugh ,
Sir James, (rather rufied)-'N Never mind
your terms here. I asked you what was a
musical accent? Can you see itF'
~Cooke-"No."
Sir James-"Can you feel it"
Cooke-"A musician can" Great laugh
Sir James Every angry)-"Now, pray, sir,
don't beat about the bush, but explain to
his lordship, lord Denman, who was the
judge that tried the cause) and the jury, who
are supposed to know nothing about music,
the meaning of what you call accent"
Cooke-"Accent, in music is a certain
stress laid upon particular note in the san
manner as you would lay a stress upon any
given word for the purpose Of being under.

James - =.
. Reiterated shouts oflaughter, by the whole
court in which the bench itself joined, fol-
lowed this repartee. Silence having been
atlength obtained, the judge, with much
seeming gravity accosted the chop fallen
counsel thus: g..
Lord Denman-" Are you satisfied now,
Sir James?"
Sir James (who deep red as he naturally
was, to use poor Jack Reeves own words,
had become scarlet in more than name,) in
a great huff, said. "The- witness may 60

And 60 down he did amidst renewed
laughter, in which all joined, particular the
learned brothers, except one, who did not

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.

If General Barnes vas not -possessed>of
very superior legal attachments, yet as a law
yer, he had the happy faculty of impressing
his clients that justice and law were With
them in all cases. A rough countryman
walked into his Office one day and began his
application
osGeueral Barnes, I have come to get your
advice in a.case that is giving me some trou-
ble."
"What rs the matter ?"
'"Suppose, now" said the client, "that a
man had one spring Of water on his land,
and his n%eighbor. living below him was to
build a dam across a creek running through
both their farms, and it was to back tie wa
ter up into the other mans spring, what
ought to be done 7"
"Sue him, sir,-sue him by all means
said the General, who always become excl
ted in proportion to the aggravation Of his
clients. GYou can recover heavy damages,
sir, and the law will make bin pay we'll for
it. Just give me the case, and I'll bringthe
money from him ; and if he hasn't a great
deal of property It will break him up sir"
"But stop, General p cried the terrified
applicant for legal advice, ''it's me that
built the dam, and it's Eeighbor Jones that
owns the spring, and he has threatened to
sue me-"
The keen lawyer hesitated a moment be-
fore he tackled his ship, and kepto n
"Ah ! Well, sir, you say you built a dam
across the creek. What sort of a dam was
that, sir?"
"It was a ~milLdam."
"Mill-dam for grinding grain, was it 2"
asked the General.
eyes, it was just that"
"And it's a good neighborhood mill, is it
not-a public convenience 2
$50 it is, sir; and you may we'll say So
"And all sour neighbors bring their grain
there to be ground, do they?"
eyes, sir, all but Jones'"
"Then, it is q great public convenience
is it not, SIR"
"To be sure it is. I would not have had
it built but for that. It's so far to any other
mill, sir"
"And now said the old lawyer, "you
tell me that that man Jones is complaining
Just because the water from your dam happens
to put back into his little spring, and he is
threatening to sue you. Well, all 1 have to
say is, let him sue, and he'll rue the day he
ever thought of it, as sure as my name is
Barnes"

WHAT @ U I L DO.

A correspondent ofthe Missouri Democrat,
writing from the Army Camp in Utah,
says: 80
A few nights since a drunken row occurred
at a liquor shauty near by, in which several
teamsters were horribly mutilated-almost
literally cut to pieces. None of them, how,
ever, are quite dead, although IN a critical
condition. The. same night, I am informed,
a soldier belonging to the fifth colum, which
is also encamped over the river, was shotdead'
The night after, a wagon master Of an OK
team shot one of his OK drivers through the
head. Last night two teamsters of a mule
train were badly wounded by pistol shots f.
red by OK drivers. ....... 49,.
These deeds of horror. are all attributed
to the influence of liquor. Thus you see,
rum, that foul feud and agent Of the devil,
is here, as elsewhere, doing his full share in
the destruction of human life: !
The Petersburg Democrat gives the fol-
lowing. as of recent occurrence
REMARKABLE CAsE'-Some few days
since, while the servants of a Mr.. Hobson, of
Goochland, were engaged 10 harvesting,
eleven of them were suddenly seized with
convulsions, and despite the skill of three
physicians, who were Immediately called 10,
a valuable man died, and the other sufferers
barely escaped with their lives. All the
servants were in perfect health until a new
barrel of whiskey was opened, and they were
allowed to take each one a drink therefrom.
The symptoms wereof such an alarming and
violent character, that their illness is be-
lieved to have been produced by the Whis-
key, which is generally believed to have
contained,a large quantity of strychnine.-
The Richmond Dispatch understands the
liquors. to be analysed bya competent chem
ist, when its poisonous properties, if it pos;
sess any, will be ascertaiued. If it should,
the discovery will prove a "dead shot" to
whiskey hereafter: for the words of the song,
"there's death in the cup" will be literally
verified.
. An exchange gives the following horrible
item:
A few days since, Joseph King, a book
keeper in St. Louis, Mo-, was discharged from
his situation for intemperance. He bought
some strychnine, mixed it with lager beer,
drank about half the dose, lay down and fell
asleep. Meanwhile, Patrick Burke, a porter,
coming in, drank off the,balance of the beer,
and was Immediately taken sick. Medical aid
was procured, but they both died.

TIE YANKEE PEDLAR

The importance of importing your owl
stock, if you are going into the wool business
is very emphatically enforcedin the following
capital story; that comes to US from a very
agreeable correspondent:
"Some years ago, I was travelling on the
eastern shore of Maryland, and stopped fol
the night at the house of a gentleman by the
name Of Jones. He was not at home, but
his wife received me very politely; 1 was in
the capacity Of a travelling merchant, a peri.
patetic vender of notions, vulgarly called o
pedlar. She made a few purchases of ar
ticles useful in the family, and might have
bought more, had not Mr.. Jones returned
unexpectedly, and at once commenced abu'
sing me most roundly, and said he didn't
want any pedlars about his house. I gave
him back the change in his.own coin till he
cooled down, when I asked him what made
him mad at all gentlemen in my line of bu'
siness?" He told me:
ga few months ago, a Yankee pedlar was
about here, selling his ware, and taking pay
in anything he could get. My neighbor far
mer, Mr.. Brown, had a very troublesome
ram; one time he jumped the fence and got
into the wheat, and another day into the
corn, and was always where he had no bust
ness to be. One day, justas the farmer had
got him out and tied him up, this pedlar
came along and wanted to sell his tin-ware.
uMr. Brown, said he would sell him the
old ram and take his pay in tin. The pedlar
took him up, offering him two dollars worth
of his truck for the ugly old sheep the farms
er agreed, picked out his tin things, the ped
lar hoisted the ram, with legs tied, into his
COMPOUNDED old cart, and drove right along
here to my house, and had the %impudence,
YES, the scoupdrel had to tell me the ram
had been imported from England by order
of one of the rich farmers, LETTERS, down the
country, and he had agreed to take it to him ;
it had cost $500 on landing, and he was to
have $3.50 for it when he delivered it to
Mr.. LETTERS, but he was so tired of having
the plaguey thing in his wagon, that he
would take 500 for it, the first chance he
could get. I was quite anxious to improve
my stock, and thought this so fine an oppor-
tunity to buy an imported full-blood, as-the
rascal warranted it to be, that I paid the
fellow 500; and he cut the strings and let
the ram run. Sure enough, he did run, full
split, right over the fence, and I after him,
and my niggers coming on. In fifteen min
utes, my ram, niggers, and fetched up in
Browns yard, when I found that I had been
sold as well as shat rascally old sheep. Before
I got back, the pedlar had sold ten dollars
worth of wooden nutmegs and nonsense to my
wife, and had gone off to parts unknown
He%never came shis way again !; and if you
are one of that sort, you had better put up
your traps and be moving"
Finally, I prevailed on him to let me stop
tillmofning, and to accept a few Yankee no.
lions without fee or reward. Buthe will new
yer forget that $500 and his neighbours

Temperance Matter..
THE WHOLE STORY.

Says the Philadelphia Journal, under
this head-A young man named James Pow
ers Was hanged at Washington. on the 10th
inst. for murder. Just before mounting the
scafold he babe his brother farewell, and
said "Remeber what I told ~you-let the Ii.
quor alone" The same counsel has gone
from a thousand scaffolds in this country, and
its echoes are heard in many a prison cell.
We waste much breath and ink in specula-
ting upon the causes of crime and its extra
ordinary increase of late years. But the
confessions of the criminal tell the whole
truth of the matter. 1t is rum that makes
demons out of men of originally good i'm
pulses it is rum that is filling our prisons,
feeding the gallows and diminishing the Sc
curity of life and property. Under its ac-
cursed influence men who, when sober, would
die rather than commit. a dishonest action,
scruple not to perpetrate forgery, robbery
and murder. OF all the propositions for the
prevention of crime, We are strongly persua-
ded that there is none of equal efficacy with
the simple advice of young Powers-"Let
the liquor Alone"
And the Cayuga Mief, in its usualstrOng
and nervous style, takes up the echo and re-
iterates-"Ld Liquor a1one" Brief, but
terribly expressive. Pale lips have uttered
it for ages from the scaffold, and yet its SOL
emn eloouence has scarce been heard above
the base of the internal anthem which ever
goeth up from the hclls of the land.
Poor Powers left the solemn injunction
with his brother. They parted hands at the
gallows, and he who was once lovely and
pure in innocence aud watched over by a
mother, swung off a red handed murderer.
The gallows breaches in vain, however,
It's last solemn warnings are unheeded. Its
rum made victims stand up in the shadows
Of the dark valley and proclaim their start
ling utterances to those who hear not. The
penitentiary utters the same voice. The
aims house echoes it,, and so does the desc.
late home and the plague.smitten inmates.
1t burns on the cheek and brow Of the
drunkard. Even in, the silence of the graves
of the nameless ones, as wells as those whose
marble reuembrances bear the deeply chisel-
ed records of the lost, the same voice is
heard, !aLET LIQUOR ALONE"
Spirit of the Age.
