tribntor to the Spirit Of the Times thus
describes scene at the Anthony House"
in Little Rock, Arkansas
Late one bitter cold night in December.
some eight or nine years ago, L. came
INTO the bar.rnOm, as usual, TO take part
in whatever was going on. For some rea-
son the crowd had dispersed sooner than
was customary, and but two or three OF
the townSfolk were there, together with a
stranger, who had arrived half-hour or
longer before, and who, tired, wet and
muddy, from long Arkansas stage ride,
his legs extended and shoes off, was con.
Soling himself with two chairs and n nap
opposite the center Of the blazing log fire.
Any one who had Travelled until ten
o'clock, in rough winter night, over an
Arkansas road, can appreciate the com fort
Of the position before that fireplace.
The drowsy example Of the stranger
had its effect on the others, and l.,
who took seat in the corner, for lack ol
conversation, was reduced to the poker
for amusement. lie poked the fire vigo.
rOusly for a while, until the poker had got
red hot, and becoming diSgusted, was
about to drop it and retire, when he dis.
covered the great toe Of the stranger pro-
truding through hole in one of his socks.
Here was relief to L.. lie placed
the glowing poker within a foot Of the
melancholy sleeper's toe, ana began slow
ly TO lessen the distance between them
one by one, the others, as they caught the
joke, began to open their eyes, and being
awakened, mouths expanded into grins,
and grins into suppressed gigglcs and
one incOntincnt fellow into broad laugh
Closer and closer the relhOt poker nearcd
toward the unfortunate toe. The heat
caused the sleeper rcstlcsSly to move his
hands. l. was just about to apply
the poker. when sound Of click! click
arrested his attention. lie looked Mt the
>tranSCr--thc latter, with one eye open,
had been watching his proceedings, and
silently brought pistol to bear upon
L.. In a voice just audible he NUT.
tered in tone Of great determination
"JnSt burn it! Burn 10! just burn
it, and III be id if don't stir you up
with ten thousand hot pokers, in two
seconds
l. laid down the poker instanter,
and remarked:
Stranger, lets tnkF Il drink in fact,
gentlemen, all Of you"
l. afterwards saido they were the
cheapest drinks he ever bought.

How Oliver Stanley Escaped. ErOm n

+ 4fi1here is drOll story ofA n.aW ~1samsd
SOLVER Stanley" who was taken captive
by Indians. After somc consideration,
they put him into an empty oil barrel,
and headed him up, leaving the bung
hole open, that he might be longer dying.
The prisonetsrelated portion Of his ex.
pcricnce in this wise:
"I determined to get out'n that or bust
trace; and SO pummellcd away with
my fist, till beat it into nearly jelly, at
the cend Of the barl; but it were no go.
Then butted q spell with my noggin,
but | had no purchase like old rams have
when they butt; fur, you know, they
back ever so far when they make tilt
So | caved in, made my last will and
testament, and vartually gave up the
ghost. 1t wur q mighty serious time with
me, fur sure. While were lying thar,
balancin' accounts with t'other world, and
aiorc had all my tiggers made out to see
how things 'ud stand, I hearn suthin'
Scrambulatin' in the leaves, and snortin'
every whip stick like he smelt suthin' he
didn't adzactly like. lay as still as
salamander, and thought may be there's
chance for Stanley yit.
So the crittur, whatever it mout be,
KEEP moscy.in' round the barNl. Last he
came to the bung.hole, put his nose in,
smelt mighty pcrticler, and gin q mon.
strous loud snort. helt what little breath
had to keep the crittur from smellin'

was n bar of the woo'ls--the big king bar
of the woods-whO had lived there from
time immortal. Thinks ], old fellow, look
out; old Oliver amt dead yit. Jist then
he put his black paw in jist as fur as he
could, and scrabblcd about to make some
ScOvcry. The first tho't had was to
nab his paw, as n drowndin man will
ketch at straw, but | soon seen that
would't do, fur you see, he could't then
travel. So jist waited spell with great
ilattcrbation Of mind.
The next move he made was to put his
tail in at the bung.holc Of the bari to test
its innards. seen that werc my time to
make my Jack; so seized my holt, and
shouted at tho top Of my voice,
ChArEs. Chester charged

went, bar'l and all, the bar full speed.
Now my hope were that the bar would
jump Orer some prcSSerpiss, break the
bar'l oil to shivcrations, and liberate me
from my nasty, stinkin', lily prison. And
sure 'nuff, the bar at full speed, leaped
over caterack Jtty JOOt high. Down We
went together in a pile, cO,chGllOp, on q

kENTUCE AND THE FIDDLE.-On board
the steamer Indiana, on one Of her re.
cent trips down the Mississippi, were o
large number Of good.natured passengers.
They were seeking to while away the
hours according to their several notions
Of pleasure, and would have got on very
well but for one annoyance. There hap.
pencd to be on board hoosier from Wa
bash, who was going down to New Or.
leans, and he had provided himself with
an old fiddle, and placing himself where
he would attract notice, scraped away.
The fellow couldn't play any more than
a setting hen, and the horrible noise dis.
turbed his fcllOw-passengcrs. \ French
music, was especially annoyed. lie iius-
tered, tidgctcd and sworc at the fudle.-
1t was no go-hc would just music as
long rs he pleased.
At last big Kcntuckian sprang from
his seat saying" reckon III fix him."
and placing himself beside the fiddler, he
commenced braying with all his might
The effect Of this move was beyond de-
scription. Old Kcntuck brayed so loud
that he drowned the screcching of the fid-
die, and amid the shouts of the passcn.
gers, the discounted hoosier retrcated be-
low, leaving the victory Of the unequal
contest with the Kentuckian and his i'm
prOinptu imitation Of Balaam'S friend
The delight Of the Frcnchman knew no
bounds, and quiet was restored for the
Jay
During the night the Kentuckian left
the boat. The next morning, soon after
breaEfiEat, the passengers were startled by
the dscordant sound Of their tormcntor.
IIoosicr had discovered that the coast was
clear, and was determined to revenge
himself on the passengers More loudly
and worse than ever screamed the fiddle.
The Frcnchman, just seated to read his
paper, on the first sound rose and looked
anxiOusIy around, shrugged his shoulders
aud then shouted" Ware is he! Queek
Mon Deu! Ware is Monsieur Kcntuck,
ze man vat play on ze jack ass?"
