Cnrpet-Baggers "a. ,he so,atn.

Some Of the stories that are told bv
carpet-baggers and saddle -bageers, at each
others expense, are more amusing than
any from any other source. a tour on
horseback was recently made by two of
them through the State, and the following
IS the story told by one on his partner:
The first timo l noticed anything
wrong about him, we went into a country
sore where crowd was sitting around
and looking at rs hard. | called for
liquor, and while the berkeeper's back
WIS turned H reached over in Il cigar
box and commenced 10 help himself |
caught him by the hand and gave him a
lock. When We got away, l said to him:
You Internal fool, what did you go TO
that fellows cigars for? l intended TO
give you half, but d--n it, couldn't yon
see those fellows sitting around, and who
would have cut your throat if they had so
much as seen you bat your eyes at them -
1t was some time before fully got over
that.
1--WE Travelled on another day, and at
every house we came TO my partner would
carry his arm stiff, and tell the people he
had been wounded in the Confederate
army.
I'VE stopped at night at Bill -'s,
who has killed a half dozen people In
duels, bat who treated us well About
all he had left was pair of duelling pis-
tolls. and one Of these l discovered, when
we got on the road the next day, that my
partner had brought of. | felt like tax
ing 1t and blowing the top Of his head off.
He promised, however, after had nearly
cursed myself hoarse, 10 do better But
that very night we stopped at another
house where an ex-planter treated Us like
II .htng cocks, and l thought that my
partner would have the decency 10 keep
quiet, as there was some ladies at the
table, and | did not care TO make bad
impression upon him.
but the next morning as we galloped
off, l noticed that my saddle-bsgs he'd
wonderfully 5ulged out, and kept flap
ping about my legs in a queer sort of way.
"'Why, what in the deuce is tue matter

boy that was with me. 1t seems as if

IL has put something there said
the nigrer in IL whisper, but his is fuller

And it was true. He had stolen
several csrsts Of Perique tobacco, and
placed some Of them in my saddle bags,
lie put in his own ssddIe-bags, among
other things, pair Of the old mans pants
which he used as drawers, cutting of
some of the lcgs. When he rode up l

1t was either during the Presidential

Thrilling Adventure wfgA = gat-
GkesHaELG.

Last Monday morning, AJr. Richard
Bennett, a student, who is enjoying a sum
mer vacation at his fathers well appointed
mansion, a short distance southwest of
Dubuque, took volume Of Tennyson's
poems in his hand and wandered out to
repose beneath some rocks which extended
a grateful shade, and also feast his soul
upon the poeticai truths and beauties
bceathed forth by the poet laureate He
flung himself down upon the grass and was
soon lost in contemplation of kings and
princes, shady grottoes, summer bowers
and enchanted land, until overcome by the
themes presented and tie warm weather,
he fell asleep.
How long be lay thus he knew not it
might have been for hours, bat he was
suddenly awakened 10y peculiar rustling
noise close beside him. Instinctively ne
tarned his head to the point from whence
tie sound proceeded, when he beheld
sight which filled him with horror, and
which he, if an ordinary man, will not be
apt to forget until his dying day. There,
not four feet from him, coiled up as if
ready for a spring, with head erect, eyes
darling fire, and tongue playing like the
forked lightning from the bosom of the
clouds, was an enormous rattlesnake, over
eight feet in length. 1t would be hard to
describe the feelings of Bennett at that
moment. Fresh and vigorous, in the spring
time of life, the world With its dazzling

future before him, hardly a stones throw
from bis fathers house, death, in It's most
terrible form, had apparently come upon
him. His presence of mind did not desert
him, however, and he lay perfectly mo-
tionless, fixing his eyes upon those of his
snakeship, and waiting for new develops
ments. This appeared TO suit the latter.
Gradually he relaxed lis menacing atti-
tude, and lowering his head, commenced
10 crawl slowly toward Bennett, al the
same time emitting a low, murmuring,
singing sound, which the imoromptu hear
er describes as having been really delight
ful. Nearer and nearer came the snake,
Bennett remaining perfectly motionlese, mot
daring 10 move for fear Of The terrible
fangs, until finally the monster actually
crawled over his legs and nestled down by
his side like Il pet kitten, as much as to
say that he was well pleased with his new
companion, and would forcgo hostili;ies.
Here was dilemma, and how to get
out Of it the difficulty. While Bennett
was speculating as 10 how this c0uld be
done, and revolving over a thousand
plans, neighbor CHANGED TO pass along,
who comprehend the whole situation at a
glance, and at a mute gesture from Bennett
rushed 10 the house for assistance. He
procured a rifle, and coming back, put the
muzzle withia two feet Of The head OF the
serpent, and with steady aim pulled Tue
trigger. There was deafcning report,
and the next instant the snake was wlih-
ing in his death agony while Bennett
bounded from The ground, aud with the
exclamation, ''Saved saved - fell faint
ing in the arms Of his preserver.
We are aware that there are few faa-
lures connected with this snake story
somewhat remarkable, but we received
the same from reliable authority, and are
not disposed to question It's yeraciiy. The
snake doubtless had his den in The rocks
near Bennett, aud seeing an intruder, re-
solved to cultivate a closer acquaintance.
The skin was taken from the monster, and
Is now hanging up as a trophy where It
can be witnessed by all the cuIious. But

"A funny incident occurred not q hun
dred miles from this city few DAYS
since and one which is too good to be
lost. One OF our celebrated compos.
ers has written a very pretty song en-
titled kiss me.U.A very pretty,
blushing maid, having heard of the
the song, and thinking she would
get 1t, with some Others, stepped i'm
to q music store TO make purchase.
One of the clerks. a modest young
man, stepped up to wait on her. The
young lady threw her vail back, say
ing:
II want Rock me to Sleep"
The clerk got the song, an d put 1t
before her. ).
"Now" said the young lady, IL
want the Wandering Refugee y
.Yes ma'am,'' said tlIe clerk,
bowing.r and I'm q few minutes he
produced the Refugee
Now, Kiss me,'D said the young
lady, ofcoursc meaning the song
above mentioned. /.
The poor clerk q eyes popped IRE al
most as he looked at the young lady I'm
utter astonish ment, for he was not
aware of the fact that q song by that
name had been written.
'.Wh-wbat did you say. Miss ?''
Kiss me-" bald she.
II can't do it; / never kissed a
young lady in my life," said the
clerk.
And about that time vail dropped,
a young lady left in hurry, clerk
felt sick, aud dealer lost the sale OF
some music.
