n A"s4ttItc Affair IN LCUiS1a ma E0at
Failed for Want of s'Nerve."
On certain occasion since the begin
ming Of 1871, in the little town of Ouach-
tia City, ON the banks OF the Ouachita
river, about % miles above the city of
Monroe, two gentlemen johnson and
Jones) concluded to play one game of
seven up at S.. They took their time,
and in;erspersed the game with several
drinks They finally finished the game.
Johnson, being winner, Taked in the
money.
Jones studied about i! a while. He
made up bis mind that it was not right
for johnson to take the money, as they
were neighbors-not gamblers, any way
and they were only in fun. He said:
"You are not going to take that money,
are you3"
''Yes, indeed, am" said Johnson.
"Wel, " said Jones, ''y9u had as well
take it out OF my pocket"
"NOw, Jones, take that back"
81 shall not take it back, and if you
are not satisfied, help yourself In any
way you choose"
'fBa', Jones, insist that you take it
back, because l don't steal, myself"
Il shall rot take it back; and now re-
peat that you bad as well stolen that
money cut of my pocket If you wish
a difficulty, you can have it any way
you hBe"
"WeIl, then, we will shoot it out, {"
said johnson.
every well, SIR" said Jones, "mention
your time and place"
Without further ceremony all the ar
rsngeInanls were made for the duel to
take place that evening. Many of the
neighbCrs were there, and at once con-
cluded 10 have the fight come off. They
kGew Johnson, who proposed the shooting,
would back out unltss he could be en-
Outraged. They knew, ON the other
hand, that ones would stand up without
flnchiug. The seconds loaded the pistols
with blank cartridges, and informed Johns
son Of the fact, but did not let Jones in
the secret. They did this to make John
son stand, which, of course, made him
fearless, bold and daring. He went to
the appointed plsce, ana Jones was there,
cool aud calm The moment for &C ion
arrived, and all parties took their posi-
tions-lhe distance being ten PAGES. The
pistols were handed to Johnson and Jones
il death-like silepce-every one being
sc'ipus as death. Tue count commenced
"1re, ...
''Siopl" said johnson. SIT is under
stood by sll parties that there amt no
bullets in these pistols!"
Jones hesring this, and knowing moth
ing of it before, rather staggered forward,
reeling, looked into the muzzle of his pis-
iol, and cried out, 'I'n be id if there
sint bullets in min1l" and at the same
time pulled down on johnson.
This was too much for johnson. He
broke for the nearest house, which was
about 200 yards, and they say he doubled
up like four bsded knife, and has not
been seen since, but sent word back that
al might ''shoot it out" who chose. but
be wanted none in bis. Jones won the
field sgainst all odds.

HER SNOWEaROPS.

B1 TIE AUTHOR OF "a woMAS's POEMS"
The woman who sits IN the freight here,
kissing her child to its Ively sleep,
Has the faith Of sOul more tender and clear,
In Its higher beauty, than yours, to keep.
All, she does not 'ove you lying alone,
thing OF the pat, phantom at most-
The roof Of your grsve all overgrown
Z With the wild, thick sands Of distant coast
Sometimes che Is sad at q rustling sound
Like radiant wings In the palps, it seems;
She can feel the shining Equator wound,
Like chain Of geld, through her shadowy
dreams,
She can see the Night shove you make
The sign o. !he OroSa on her Ga hOlic breast
And the passionate storms, by the hghtninga
break
In the shaken dark DER your lonesome rest.
Ard this sail. But The girl who stood,
Her young eyes dropping With timid tears,
By one she loved, in the vague Spring wood,
Will love him only through all the years.
And sometimes yet, from the dewy air
OF that bl0ssoming morning Of long ago,
He puts those cold, white buds in her hair,
And says: "Thsy wil'.nelt in its sunny glow"

The Columbia Herald ssys: One of
our largest tax payers says be is wiling
to issue County Bonds to the amount OF
$4,000 payable in 80 years, for the
purpose of building Narrow Gauge Rail
rJads and Turnpikes through the county.
This would build q turnpike to Marshall
county, via Bear creek; complete the
turnpike to Santa Fe, bnild another to
WIlramsport, and build two Narrow
Gauge Roads, the Duck River Valley
Railroad and the Columbia and Fsyette-
vile Railroad, via Berlin and Lewisburg.
ABOUT as small a piece of business as

ferry house, deposited three cents before
the Jllcctor. He looked at the gill and
demanded another cent, saying that she
was large enough to pay full fare. The
woman told him that she didn't have an
other cent. He then demanded that she
leave something as security for the penny,
and she left spool of thread. She then
brought suit for recovery of the thread,
and the city compromised by paying the
woman Enc cents, the value of said
thread, minus enc cent ferriage.

TIMBER.
The whole range of hills that escarp
this valley, gracefully extending away in
every direction, are densely covered with
most excellent timber, especially on north
hill sides, where the soil is very fertile.
Timber deteriorates in kind and quality
with the s)il as the hills recede from the
river and creeks, uniting in one vast laby-
rinth of ridges, called divides, ex.
tending many miles, occasionally widen
ing out into plains, called barrens. These
divides are generally the most elevated
and poorest lands, and but sparsely tim
bered-the post and mountain oaks being
the most prevalent. There wild grass
grows in wonderful luxuriance, and
the huckleberry finds its most congenial
soil. Upon the decliVity of these table
lands and 81 Ing the little streams that
drain them, wild grapes and muskadines
grow in great abundance and the hazel
nut abounds. Cattle here feed and fatten
upon the grass, huckleberry bush, etc
from early spring to late frosts, and often
live al winter upon fern and Whist is here
called beggsr lice, which they eagerly eat.
a. CATTLE AND UOGa
But few fine bloOded cattle have ever
been brought in here. Our hill lands are
well adapted to the growth of clover and
all grasses, yet but little has ever been
sown, so much accustomed are we to
to rely upon the natural pasturage of the
country. Hogs, also, do well here in the
hills, feeding on various roots, berries,
nuts, acorns, ETC., and are often killed fat
in the woods without other feed. Hogs
in great number are fsttened here and

been no such name as J. A. Smith, dealer
in carpets, in the New York Directory for
the last three years, and no such man is
known to mer chants engaged in the car
bet business. We have already printed
the letter of r. J. Hennessy disclaiming
any sort of identity with the r. j. Hen
messy of Garvey,s warrants. A search
through the City Directory for three years
fails to reveal the existence. in any of
the building trades, of R. J. Hennessy,
and from the comprehensive record the
name of t. c.. eastman, who is credited
with warrants to the amount of $4,000, is
also absent. Will somebody tell the pul =

WHY NOrdhoff Left the Post,

1t is we'll understood that Charles Nord-
hoff resigned the editorial management OF
the Evening Post because he was more
disposed to fight the Tammany ring than
was pleasing to the business manager OF
the paper. The latter, who reports his
property at 5000, 900, received $50, 900 worth
of ring advertisements last year. The
latter was very wroth when, after CLOSING
over the ring for short time, the Post
came out with a most terrific article on
the Tweed statue and assailed the ring
generally. Mr.. Tweed remarked In the
senate chamber at Albany that after this
display of ingratitude he should cut oil the
Post. and not give them a line more OF
corporation advertising. Mr.. Bryant has
now become so old that the paper is edi-
torially controlled by the business manager
and One-half partner. l suspect that MI.
NOrdhOff will soon make his appearance
on the Times newspaper, where he can
fight the ring to his hearts content When
the Euening Post attempts to sneer at
the Times exposure of the Hall-Con-
colly army frauds it makes mistake.
These revelations are conclusive and are
apparently waking the people up at last to
the importance of OverthrOWng the Hall
Sweeney Fisk k-GOuld-ConnOlly dynasty
If there was anything wrong about the
items furnished by the Times, Mayor Hall
Hall would have informed the It7 eS OF 1T
ere this. But so far he has not opened his
head. Hitherto he has invariably sent
note to the Times correcting errors in
charges made against him. Now both he
and Connolly are silent. l venture to say
that all the fellows who received the I'M
mense sums for work on the armorles were
Door men before they obtained access to
the Tammany ring. There is A: }. Gar
vev, for example, who figures in the reve-
Iations as receiving S197, $3.50 "a for plaster
ing ten armories during the nine months
time-a very few years ago he was an ordi-
nary laborer in Third avenue, and expert
enced difficulty in getting job and max
ing both ends meet. Now report says he
is worth half a million.-COr. Chicago
