The lnstitoot is, | may say, q success.
Contributions flow in slowly but shoor-
ly-fast enuff indeed to give each Nv the
Board q new SCOT Nv close, and we,
speshelly, who hev the first handlin Nv
the money, sevral other comforts. But
that corner-stun troubles US. Sum hum
NV people saw that a bottle Nv
likker and a greenback deposited under
it, and reglerly every mite its bin over
turned by persons in search Nv them re-
lies. At great expense we built onto 1t
a section NV wall, but maxim no account
NV our %expenditoor, they overturned it;
we then histcd a sign-board bearin this
legend, "The whiskey is gone n tho
greenback also" signed by the Board,
bnt one-half Nv the citizens Nv that
lokality don't read and tother didn't hev
the nessary confidence in the truthful
ness Nv the Board to prevent EN- from
going for the artikles, tho the very
knowledge NV us which brought about
this state NV disbelief, shood, one wood
suppose, hev taught EN- that the green
back and likker coodnt possibly be ther
after so long q period hez ensood. SO
ez q last resort we stuck two posts in
the ground and drawd an iron chain
over it. That got em. Force is about
the only thing Nv any account in this
country.
The Board met last mite at the Post,
Offs, wich ontil we git the Institoot
built, will be the headquarters NV the
Trustees, to consider the propriety Nv

It'd especially to the Southern intelleck
and calculated psrtikelerly to keep alive
in the minds NV the buddin yooths Nv
the late C%onfedracy, wich is unfortnitly
deceest; a lively opinion NV themselves
and a correspondent hatred NV Moo Eng

submitted to the Board q example
for q new Arithmetic, to wit:
A Yankee sent q substitoot into the
Federal army ut q cost Nv 81 900, pass
in off onto him two counterfeit ten dol
lar notes. To make up the expendi,oor,
he to wunst swindles a innocent Ken
tuckian out nv 500 in a patent rite, q
Albanian out Nv $500 in a Western
land trade, and the balance he makes
up by sellin wooden nutmcgs, witch he
turns out NV Eastwood Mt q rate NV 4
cents per one. The CRATE moral ques-
ton is, how many nutwegs must this
ingenious but ~unprincipled cuss manu-
faktur and how long does it take him
with the improved machinery they hev
to do it?
The Southern sojers at the battle Nv
the first Bull Run captured Is Federals,
one of whom he'd upon his person SIC
in greenbaI and tothers SIS each. How
many NV Johnson's postmasters Good be
bought with the proceeds Nv the cap
cher?
Deekin Pogram approved Nv these ex-
amples, but he kept insistin that there
wuznt enuff in EN- to fire the Southern
heart. The Southern heart wuz II per-
p~etooal funeral pile witch needed contin-
GOAL firm, 0nless fired it was a gloomy
mass Nv very onsightly black cinders.
He proposed that the forthcomin book
shood be coal oil on the slimberin en-
bers NV the youthful Southern heart.
he he'd a example:
The battle NV Chickamauga wuz
fought q certain number Nv miles from
Chattanooga. One regiment Nv Confed-
rit %soljers druv a division NV Fedral
mercenaries into the town. Allowin
that each Fedral, ez well ez Confedrit,
he'd two legs, how many more steps did
the Fedrals take to git EN- into Chatta-
nooga, where they wuz comparatively
from Confedrit rage and valor and SIGH,
than it did the C%onfedrits to drive en-
Their?
Bascom remarkt that he he'd one wich
he felt it his dooty to pcrpose:
A strikly co~nscienshus grosery keep
er starts in biznis worth four hundred
dollars in clean cash. He pays for his
whiskey two dollars per gallon in Loo
~isville, and hez for a regular customer a
Postmaster, witch drinks forty or sixty
times per day, and alluz tells him to
'jist chalk it down" Required, the
length Nv time necessary to bust under
them a~flictin circumstances.
Bascom remarkt that long before the
book appears in print, he wood be able
to furnish the anser to that little prob
lem. Considerin the example O dig
direct at me. | wuz Nv q noshen to re-
tort, but Their wuz SIGH q look Nv injerd
innosense INTO Bascom's countenance
that RELY | coodent. Suthin must be
done for Bascom-I hev lived onter him
too long. The next co~ntribushen I re-
ceeye from trends North, shell DO devot-
ed to l%iquidstin, in part, the debt | W
him. Good bust him, by not givin him
at least cost for his likker, but wat fol-
lows? There's the rub. Wood he who
come after him give me credit? Better
bear the ills we hev than fly to them to
wich we heynt bin i%nterdoost.
Joe Bigler, the drunken Confcdrit So
jer, happened in, and heard the last two
examples, and remarkt that he Good
furnish US any number NV examples at
site. We never stop Joseph in anything
he proposes to do, for he hez a habit Nv
carryin a navy revolver slung to him,
and he shoots. Joseph wuz, therefore,
permitted to perceed.
Eff Southern man pants for his rites,
and ites four years for EN-, gittin licked
like the devil, how long after is it advis-
able for him to continyoo to pant, per-
vided he didn't know at the beginnin
wat hiz rites wuz?

Nv that problem wuz impossible, Their
bein no pint to work a departure from,
to witch Joseph remarkt that perhaps it
wuz faulty in that partikler, but he he'd
others:
Eff one Southern soljer kin whip five
Northern ~soljers, why in bloody thun-
der, they hevin he'd a sufishency NV
opportunities nv doin it, didn't the
South gain her independence?
