There was once little slim-built fell

way, in the State of Georgia, when he

by the help of a big raW-boned six foot

the last named individual, he accosted
him:

"What pay might you be getting

"Ten dollars a month, and whiskey
thrown in," was the reply.
"Well look here! Pm weak little
inoffensive man, and people are apt to
impose on me, dye see. Now, I'll give
you twenty-five dollars month, to ride
"But," added as thought struck him,
how might you be on a fight?"
"Never been licked in my life," re-
joined the siX-footer.
''Just the man | want. Is it q bar
gain?" queried Gardener.
Six-footer ruminated.
"Twentyfve dollars, double wages,
nothing to do but ride around and smash
a fellows mug occasionally when he is
sassy
Six-footer accepted. They rode along
till just at night they reached a village
inn. Gardener Immediately singled
out the biggest fellow in the room, and
picked fuss with him. After conside-
rable promiscuous jawing Gardiner
turned to his fighting friend and init
mated that the whipping Of that man
had become sad necessity, SiN-footer
peeled went in and came out first best.
The next night at another hotel, the
same scene was reenacted, Gardiner get
ting into another row with the biggest
man in the place, and siN-footer doing
the fighting.
At last, on the third day, they came
DO ferry kept by a huge double-fsted
man, who had never been licked in
his life. While crossing the river, Gar
dener as usual began 70 find fault, aud
elbow The ferryman naturally got
mad, threw things around, and told his
opinion of their kind. Gardener then
turned to his friend and gently broke the
intelligence to him THAT he was sorry
but it was absolutely necessary to thrasl
the ferryman.o
-footer nodded his head, but sale
nothing. 1t was plainly to be seen thai
he did not relish the Job by the way he
shrugged his shoulders; but there was
no help for it. So when they reached
the shore, both peeled aud at it they
went. Up and down the bank over
the sand, into the water, they fought

till at the end Of an hour the ferrymar
gave in. Six-foeter was triumphant
but it had been rough work. Going NJ

:. Pleasant LEGEND.

There is charming tradition con-
nected with the site on which the temple
of Solomon was erected. 1t is said to
have been occupied in common by two
brothers, one of whom had a family;
the other had none. On this spot was
sown field Of wheat. On the evening
succeeding the harvest, the wheat having
been gathered in separate shocks, the
elder brother said to his wife:-
"My younger brother is unable to
bear the heat and burden Of the day [
will arise, take OF my shocks and place
them with his without his knowledge"
The younger brother, being actuated
by the same benevolent motives, said
within himself
My elder brother has a family, have
none; | will contribute to their supports
| will arise take of my shocks and place
them With his, without his knoWledge.'
Judge of their mutual astonishment
when, on the following morning, they
found their respective shocks undimin-
ishea. This course Of events ffanspifed
for several nights, when each resolved
i'm his own mind to stand guard and
solve the mystery. They did so; when,
on the following night, they met each
other half way between their respective
shocks, with their arms full. Upon
ground hailowed by such associations as
this, WAS the Temple OF Solomon erected
spacious and magnificent, tllew0ndef
and admiration Oh the world Alas in
these days, how many would sooner
steal their BROTHER whole shock than
add to it single sheaf.

Lo,ve's Last Balloon Excursion,

LOtCe's Last Balloon Excursion.
We mentioned yesterday that Lowe,
the balloonist, having made an asccen-
sion from New York on the 7th inst.
had not been heard from, and that APP
prehensions were felt for his safety.
"Naught is is never in danger" He and
him have ':turned up.'' The reporter
gives the following account of the voy-
age:
On Saturday last professor Lowe and
another gentleman were at Saratoga for
the benefit of their health-s started on an
aerial excursion in the balloon Omitted
States' from the seronautic ampitheatre,
at the Park. The day was favorable in
every respect, and the weather was so
hot that the prospect of a cool breeze in
mid-air lent an additional charm to the
ascent. Rising with stately grace from
among the trees of the Park, the voy-
ayers had the satisfaction Of seeing with
gradually expanding beauty the mag
nifcent panorama which lay at their
feet. The mighty city, throbbing
through all its dedalian arteries with
the giant pulsations of business life; the
winding rivers, glittering like myriad
of diamonds in the rays of the sun, and
gradually converging into one vast eX-
panse of shining sea; the beautiful Park,
studded with trees and temples, and in
tersected by shining white pathways
| which looked no wider than string Of
whsp-corn; the noble mountains, SEEM
ingly incorporate with clouds and lin
ing the horizon like the background of
picture; the skies themselves alternate
white and blue, rejecting here and there
the cleaning If the setting sun-all
these gave the travellers sensations of
wonder and delight.
Going swiftly in II north easterly di-
rection, the good air-ship United States,
with its dauntless skipper ever at its
helm, rapidly passed the bounds of the
city, and at Il height of two miles and a
| half crossed the East River and stood
motionless over the Long Island sound.
Here it commenced to descend slowly,
when, striking the under current it was
again driven towards the neighborhood
of Fort Schuyler. Then the Professor
jocularIy proposed TO his companion
| to try a sail in the balloon ,on the water,
and, after having refreshed themselves
from divers bottles which had been pro-
vided for the contingency Of either of
the voyagers getting thirsty-not an
improbable one Oh such a day-they
dee ded to attempt the sail. Gradually
losing its buoyancy, as consequence OF
the valve being opened, the inflated
monster neared the earth. Trees, liou-
SEES, ships, and the water Itself, which
had appeared SO insignificant u minute
before, gradually grew in size and inn
portanee, until it seemed as though the
balloon was about to sink into the bowels
of the earth; but When within ahundred

A SHOCKING AFFAIR AT PARIS, KY.-A
NEGRO TAKEN FROM JAZZ ANp krLLED.-A
negro was shot while resisting the police
on the fair grounds at Paris on the 9th In
slant, lie was a violent and unruly negro,
named Ben. formerly . slave. Getting
into some difficulty on the lar ground, ne
fred at tho policeman who attempted to
arrest him, and the alarm spreading in the
crowd that negro had killed white man,
number of excited and intoxicated per-
sons rushed upon him, and wounded, and
would have killed him but for the interfe-
renee of calmer men. White men have
been frequently killed in crowds under
similar circumstances both North and
South; but q reporter for the Cincinnati
Commercial telegraphed to that paper an
account of the affair which was calculated
to create just such false impression as it
suits the purposes of the Radicals to spread
with respect to everything bearing upon
the relations of the black and white poph-
lation of the South. This account, so un-
fair and unjust to the persons upon whom
it reflected, was circulated on the fair
grounds on Thursday, and SO exasperatcd
them that mob Of about fifty men who
Ildu OUCH OIl utNDhcU liOliC ICpdllCh w
the Jail that night, overpowcred the iailor,
took the negro out, killed him, and threw
him into Stoner creek, where his body was
found next morning.
This was an outrageous proceeding, and
so considered by the surrounding COM
munity. Within the last seven years both
white and black men have been hung in
Bourbon by mobs, and such feeling on
the subject has bccn aroused that we doubt
not the whole power Of the law and the
whole force of public opinion will be
strenuously exerted to prevent the re-
currcnce of such tragedies. There is
mole need of precaution with respect to
such outbreaks now than ever, because
we have cmissaries among us whose bust
ness it is to inspire the more turbulent of
the negroes with the disposition to over
step the limits within which they are safe,
in order that collisions may take place
and such vengeance be provoked-all to
countcnancc the false theories and further
the cruel ends of an INSCRIPTIONS fac
ton.
The civil authorities are active, and de-
termined to bring to Justice all the parties
engaged in the infamous outrage, and in
their efforts they are fully sustained by
the unanimous sentiment of the citizens of
Bourbon.
