A Painting and a Dog FIght-A stand
ing Candidate POetieal.
Last evening Billy A., who was not
long ago q candidate for gubernstoTisl
honors and subsequently entered the race
for Congress, was ~descsnting upon the
horrors OF the scene from D8nte's Infer
no, which sdorns the walls of the sitting
room Of the famous Peabody Hotel.
Billy's interlocutOr was evidently q
stranger who had never before listened to
his bursts of el~oquence. Billy's head was
full of dreams Of Congressional honOrs
and pointing 10 the most hideOus figure
charmer he exclaimed, That's me raising
h in Congress-" The v~olubiIity and
tempestuous manner Of Billy arrested at
tention. A huge countryman approached
Billy, who is sffable and accessible, 81
see you know it all, :" said Mr.. Hsrdbst.
TELL me what the APPEAL means by
'Koomposh.' " Billy answered, Haven't
you seen the book that turned the wise
heads OF EurOpe tOpsey-turvy2G Go stop the
I~ightning's flash; ascend Niagara in q quart
cup; call me an epicuresn shanghai; but
don't ask your next Congressman to be-
come the orthoepist OF HeIl's Half Acre"
At this moment, on the pavement, Hard
bats brindle purp was tackled by Ed.
Grayson's bullhound. Hardbat rushed
in, and OrsysOn came to time, and
Billy dsrced around, while the dogs and
men fought. A policeman came to the
rescue and Billy reeited the story in trsg-
ical verse, saying:
"They ut and 1T,
And gouged and bit,
And struggled in thedust
Until the ground
For blocks o
Was kivered with their blood"
Billy SAWS that the bad blood of Hard
bat and Grsyson wss stirred up by the
CHASTITY picture. He has drawn q petition
to the Board of Aldermen to have the
famous painting declared a public nuis-
snce. He says that "eveTy language ex-
cept English is spoken by the City
Fathers" and thst his petition contains q
request that he himself may speak in
reference to the great question OF public
morals, and that If this request be granted
he will make the people comprehend the
great good be proposes to achieve.

the CHAMPION GIN.

Yesterday, 1t was q considerable salts
faction to be enabled to examine, at W.
B. Gslbreath's, No. II Union street, the
construction Of the Champion gin, the
best, from all appearances, that was ever
invented. The peculiar excellence
claimed, and justly claimed, for this gin
is the saving of labor and OF cotton which
it effects. The cotton which is still in the
boil may be collected from the fields and
fed to this gin. It will turn out as much
lint as if the cotton had been picked. A
single hand can gather n t~wenty-four
thousand pounds Of cotton bolls and all
in thirty days; without the bolls, o
more than six thousand. The yield of
lint in the former case would be about
twenty bales, while, in the latter, it would
not yield i've. This new gin enables the
planter to achieve this great advantage.
It is estimated by planters who have
used this gin, that from 80 to 80 pounds of
lint per ton OF seed cotton is saved by the
complete cleaning Of the seed, which is as
e~ffectually done by this machine withouS
iDiuring the sample produced, as by any
"Linter" in use.
Cotton planters everywhere testify to
its efficiency, Z. Ensley, Of Memphis,
says oft;
1.-THE gin cleans the seed well and gins
more rapidly than any gin I ever saw;
makes SOOu bauP4o Oub OF very rOugn
picked and trashy cotton, will make bet
ter sample than any other gin"
Z. Richardson, of Jackson. Mississippi,
the largest planter in the South, says:
81 prefer them to any gin 1 have ever
used In rough cotton. They separate and
take out all bOlls and large trash, making
at least one grade better cotton from same
gins faster and cleans the seed
than spygin 1 have in use. 1 have
Eureka, Eagle and Carver in use
season. In short, 1 believe il will be
adopted by the planting community in the
lat least) as the gin"
This testimony is sufficient. See the

ing house of L. 81. Gardner & Co. Their

dealings. By all means turn to the adj
