My dreams, OF wIch | hev he'd many door
ing the past five years, hevent bin overly
| plea easant-indeed they hev taken more the
shapr NV hldeous nitemares than anything
else-Linken, Grant, Sherman, and armies
dressed in blue fgurin ex ensively therein.
/ But last mite | bed a vision wich more than
repaid me for all | hev suffered heretofore. L

tin new grocery The proprietor wuz de-
mOralized AblishnIss who he'd sold ticker
surreptItously IN Maine, among them A blish-
nIsts, and Consistently he'd no idea NV the
quantity full grown Kentucky Democrat
Good throw hisself outside Nv. His entire
capital with wlch he proposed commence
| blznis wuZ one barrel NV new corn whiskey
and eu um other uecessarIes, and ez a starter, to
make the acquaintance Nv his customers, he
announced one free mite and invited the en-
tire comm unity. His invitation wuz consid
cred generous and we met 1t in the same spe' 1t,
IN more nobier sperit than the conhdlu and
! ignorant mau desired, in fact, for when We
got through, in aoout 3S mlnits, there wuzn t
drop Nv me whiskey LETT and while the new

ever saw, the hooted and tailed iudivldool
/ laughing tremendous. The Ex- x-PresiGent took
the char, and one VIce-Prusident wuz ap-
pointed from each State, ceptln Vermont and
Massachusetts. My buzzum swelled with
einoshen ez that list wuz red-it wuz more

than anything ned heard for five long years.
